# 🔴 EMPIRE'S LAST STAND: Trump Throws Britain Out of Iran — Then Takes the Fed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gce0pgyVENM

[00:02] Hello, welcome everyone to another live Thursday question and answer show with Prometheian Action.
[00:07] My name is Adam Sturman.
[00:10] I'm joined today with Barbara Boyd and Susan Kinda of Prometheian Action and Prometheian Pack.
[00:14] Welcome everyone.
[00:16] It is May 28th and the name of today's show, we're going to juke you a little bit here.
[00:22] The name of today's show is regime change.
[00:23] Worsh takes the Fed.
[00:26] Trump invites Iran to the Accords.
[00:30] Now, we are going to be talking about the absolute earthquake that's going on in the Fed right now because it's a really big deal and I know I can talk about the elections because everyone's been following.
[00:40] So, Trump went uh Trump went what 181 out of 181 uh of elections for the primaries that he called?
[00:52] Let me just pull it up here.
[00:54] Yeah.
[00:58] So, Trump won every single primary race that he endorsed.
[01:02] I think everyone saw
[01:04] this already.
[01:08] And then he made a he made a really funny comment about Tar
[01:10] Rico looking like uh Alfred E. Newman,
[01:13] which I thought was absolutely
[01:14] hilarious.
[01:16] But that aside, I think Barbara picked up on something which
[01:22] takes that continues this discussion about what's next in Iran because that
[01:28] is the story that is not on Trump's truth social that hasn't been discussed
[01:33] on his Truth Social now for for a little bit, but there is a story that's developing.
[01:37] So, I'd like to hand it over to Barbara.
[01:41] Yeah, I mean I I basically Adam, can you pull up the New York Times from this morning?
[01:45] Um, you know what what it actually is all fixated on and everybody's jumping up and down about is
[01:53] that in the cabinet meeting yesterday,
[01:56] uh, Trump was asked about uh, you know, this deal that the uh, Iran is doing or appears to be doing with Oman to control
[02:05] The Strait of Hormuz.
[02:08] And what Trump said is they'll behave or else we'll have to bomb them, too.
[02:13] Now, I can assure you that in the city of London, that was an earthquake.
[02:19] Because what most people don't realize about what's going on right now in Iran is the actual strategic picture.
[02:24] Is it really just Israel and the Arabs going at it as they've been doing for hundreds of years, or is it something else?
[02:36] Is it the last stand of the city of London?
[02:39] Which is my contention.
[02:41] The city of London, the British Empire, the modern British Empire depends on control of this area uh to actually survive.
[02:50] Trump is kicking them out.
[02:54] And that's the real story here.
[02:57] Um, I am going to be developing probably for my next video the real story of what Tony Blair has done to actually create this war just
[03:06] like he was the public face really of the war in Iraq.
[03:11] Um, that gets a little dense, but you've got to realize that every single Gulf country in this area has been controlled through the city of London for decades.
[03:23] Um, and that's very very clear.
[03:23] Oman is really really really close to a gentleman by the name of Tony Blair.
[03:29] Um and you know basically uh that working out some kind of deal to control the strait is right up the alley of the city of London.
[03:39] Trump's saying if they do that we're going to have to bomb them too is indicative of really what the whole dynamic is here.
[03:46] It's not about religion.
[03:52] Yes, religion is a big part of it, but mostly it's about resources.
[03:56] Do you realize that Iran has the largest lithium deposit in the entire world?
[04:04] Do you realize that what the British are
[04:06] trying to do here is get in on the deal
[04:09] using networks which they've built up
[04:11] for centuries? So the the big picture,
[04:15] the real story is Iran. You know,
[04:19] basically what Trump said is, "I want
[04:21] everybody in the Abraham Accords. I want
[04:24] everybody to join my policy for the Middle East.
[04:27] By bringing up the Abraham Accords and insisting that the Gulf countries come over at this point and actually join it, it's not what people are would actually think.
[04:37] That puts massive pressure on Israel. Why?
[04:40] Because Saudi Arabia has made it very clear that it isn't joining the Abraham Accords until there's some kind of genuine development for a Palestinian state.
[04:51] Until there's some kind of genuine actual resolution of this conflict which has gone on for years.
[05:00] And what Trump is saying is the United States is going to actually control this area of the world
[05:07] and not through the way that it's been done before, but by these nations themselves actually becoming sovereign for the first time in their history.
[05:19] And that's what the Abraham Accords actually is all about.
[05:21] So that's the hidden story which very few people are actually picking up on.
[05:26] But when you do the research, when you actually go back and look at the Tony Blair Institute and then you look up Iran and all of a sudden you're going to see that as of 2019 he was planning all of this.
[05:39] His entire emphasis was on profiling the IRGC so that we can have them act the way we want to do it.
[05:51] What are the two goals for the Tony Blair Institute in the world?
[05:55] Declared goals, stopping populism, i.e. stopping Donald Trump in the United States and second uh you know actually
[06:08] working on this question of using Iran as a catpaw to bring the city of London fully back into the Middle East.
[06:16] So that's the real hidden story here and we're going to be developing it at Prometheian Action and really really really filling out the picture.
[06:25] Trump has has Blair uh you know in his board of peace because he's keeping him close.
[06:31] Keep my enemies close.
[06:33] That's the way I can figure out what they're doing.
[06:36] But that's the story and it's massive and it's very very important for us for the United States of America because as Trump keeps saying if Iran gets a nuclear weapon that blows up the entire world and that's been that's been the actual battle he's been waging together with actually taking over the Middle East and taking it away from the city of London.
[07:00] And that in turn is going to blow up the city of London's entire capacity in the world.
[07:03] So I know that's
[07:08] a picture which very few people really you know are looking at but if you understand the war in Iraq and where it came from uh and you understand this one I I I just had a I had a hunch and I went looking uh and that's what I found.
[07:26] So, you know, that's that's really, I think, a major story here which we'll be developing.
[07:35] Thank you, Barbara.
[07:37] Thank you everyone for joining us on YouTube.
[07:39] As you're joining us this morning, please just drop us a like on YouTube.
[07:43] If you're joining us on x.com, thank you.
[07:45] Please give us a share, Susan.
[07:49] Okay. Well, I want to pick up on another side of that.
[07:51] So, if you could play that clip on energy dominance.
[07:58] Yes.
[08:00] Uh, okay. Let me know if the if the audio shows up here, guys.
[08:02] Hold on.
[08:04] Let me see.
[08:04] It should.
[08:11] Uh, no.
[08:12] Okay.
[08:19] Yeah. Let me read that.
[08:21] Yeah, while he's getting that pulled up,
[08:23] look, the the reason that the president has been able to do this uh is because he's exercising what I call real hard power, which is our economic our physical economic ability to take care of ourselves.
[08:38] And this is a clip from the cabinet meeting yesterday with Secretary Bergam, which I think hits the nail on the head with this energy dominance.
[08:47] us, as you just noted, largest oil producer in the world, largest natural gas producer in the world, largest natural gas exporter.
[08:55] Uh this is an opportunity for us to bring prosperity and affordability here at home, but also increase abroad.
[08:59] So uh President Trump, your energy dominance uh strategy with Chris Wright, Lee Zeld, and all the people that are working on this, people around the room, uh you know, it's it's been really incredible.
[09:11] And of course you mentioned Venezuela, but all that flowing to our Gulf Coast refineries is also helping to keep the price of gas down at home.
[09:20] Uh so again, it's a it's an amazing transformation.
[09:22] Bottom line is the center of geopolitics around energy has moved from other parts of the world to the Western Hemisphere.
[09:32] Okay, that's it right there.
[09:35] the center of the geopolitics of energy has moved from the rest of the world to the Western Hemisphere.
[09:41] What Barbara was just describing in terms of British control over the Middle East and how they've orchestrated a hundred years plus of conflict so that they can keep control of the energy flows coming out of the Middle East.
[09:58] It's being broken on two fronts right now.
[10:01] Number one is the way the president is moving in the Middle East to throw this British controlled operation
[10:11] around Iran and the strait of Hormuz out.
[10:13] But that could only be done because we have created energy dominance here in the United States.
[10:21] Honestly, I don't think the president would have launched Operation Epic Fury if he hadn't already had the successful uh what was it six-hour incursion into Venezuela that pulled, you know, the shortest the it's not it wasn't a war, you know, like the shortest incursion in history pulling Maduro out which has turned Venezuela, you know, into a country which is now beginning to prosper again.
[10:48] Where as uh Secretary of State Rubio said, I believe in the cabinet meeting that we just looked at, if not it was in a press conference where he said the money is now going to the Venezuelan people so that they can actually develop.
[11:04] Um but again because we've got the oil flows from Venezuela, we've unleashed our own
[11:12] energy dominance, this choke point in the world which the British have used literally for a hundred years plus is being dismantled so that you have a United States which can reshape the world not around an Americanbased great game but which can reshape the world around what President Trump has said all along.
[11:35] I want a world of sovereign nations working with each other for their shared development, not for the benefit of the financial parasite that's been sitting in the city of London.
[11:48] So I I thought Bergam's comment was very much to the point and very coherent with everything that this administration is doing right now.
[12:03] Thank you very much, Susan, and thank you everyone for tuning in today.
[12:08] So, um, I'd like to just start with some super chats that came in from our
[12:12] supporters here.
[12:15] And let me take the first one here from David Gray.
[12:17] Thanks for joining us this week, David.
[12:19] We love having you here.
[12:21] Also, I did get your messages on X.
[12:23] That's pretty funny.
[12:25] You got your account back.
[12:27] Okay.
[12:27] Uh, he says, "Please pick one for me.
[12:30] Antifa terrorism, uranium arrests, Rubio's huge impact on NATO, India, Larav, CBDC halted, American homes for people.
[12:37] Blair tells Britain to copy Trump.
[12:40] Abraham Accords, a once-ina-lifetime moment.
[12:47] Barbara and Susan to get started here.
[12:51] I I want to talk about the Abraham Accords because people have been stuck on this you know cy which essentially says uh you know Trump is controlled by Netanyahu blah blah blah blah blah and you know Lindsey Graham is controlled by Netanyahu but Trump isn't controlled by Netanyahu and Netanyahu doesn't even
[13:13] control Lindsey Graham really it's just a whole bunch of uh you know if you look at the lobbies and you actually understand them people say Oh, you know, Apac is this monstrous lobby.
[13:22] It's huge, etc.
[13:25] Just look at compare the defense industries lobby with Apac.
[13:29] It's piddling.
[13:32] The people who actually like Forever Wars are funding the United States Senate and that's where we have a real problem.
[13:40] Okay.
[13:43] But Apac is just a minor player in that entire uh framework of of billions of dollars floating around.
[13:48] So, you know, my pick here is the Abraham Accords, which was this the beginning of the Trump administration.
[13:54] His very first visit was to Saudi Arabia.
[13:57] Saudi Arabia had been an asset deployed by the intelligence community, the deep state, for centuries to wage our forever wars.
[14:07] Trump went there in the first term and said, "We ain't doing
[14:13] terrorism anymore, folks.
[14:15] what we're going to do is development of this entire area.
[14:17] And he sent Jared Kushner and others on listening tours to hear from the Gulf monarchies what they actually thought.
[14:27] And what they said was, "Look, we're stuck in this framework of forever wars.
[14:31] We're stuck in this framework of Palestine versus Israel.
[14:36] Uh, and somehow we have to find an escape hatch."
[14:39] And basically what was said was let's actually do the following.
[14:42] You guys come in, you recognize that Israel has a right to exist.
[14:47] In turn, we have to develop the entire area including Gaza.
[14:53] All right?
[14:57] And that was the beginning structure of the Abraham Accords.
[15:00] And in his first term, he established enormous momentum.
[15:02] He got primarily the UAE in a big way to join.
[15:05] The next target was Saudi Arabia.
[15:08] Now,
[15:13] Biden did nothing with this.
[15:16] He sat on it.
[15:20] He let the regular dynamic of this area actually flow and function because I'm not going to do anything which Donald Trump did.
[15:24] We're going to reject everything that Donald Trump did.
[15:29] That was the Biden administration.
[15:32] There was a little bit of effort towards the end uh and essentially it looked very much like Saudi Arabia was coming around to actually joining on the terms set by Donald Trump.
[15:43] Then you had October 7th.
[15:46] If you think that was accidental, you're wrong.
[15:49] It was all designed to wreck that entire momentum towards actually getting a solution in the Middle East and setting the clock back and starting this religious warfare all over again.
[16:02] All right.
[16:05] So then Trump comes back in and now what he's saying is I'm not going to, you know, I just spent a lot of time, money, and political capital on getting a
[16:14] Settlement here.
[16:16] I'm not going to leave this area by just decking Iran.
[16:19] I'm going to leave it with a peace settlement that actually works for everybody.
[16:24] That's why he said yesterday, I don't think we can settle this thing unless we actually get all of the Gulf States to join the Abraham Accords.
[16:36] Now, what does that do for Israel?
[16:38] It's clear as a bell.
[16:40] I said it before.
[16:43] They're not gonna join the Abraham Accords unless there's an actually effective solution uh or at least the beginning solution of what happens to Gaza and Palestine.
[16:52] So, the media is focused on the wrong story here because they're not looking at who has actually controlled this area.
[17:00] What's the economics of this entire battle?
[17:05] And the economics aren't just about oil.
[17:07] They've been about oil.
[17:09] Then Trump took that weapon away.
[17:12] We're now, as Susan just pointed out, the dominant oil and gas producer in the world.
[17:12] We're
[17:15] self-sufficient at this point.
[17:17] We don't need it, as Trump keeps saying.
[17:20] But there's something else going on, which is you can't get out of a completely globalized and controlled world, and we were very close to destruction under Biden without actually solving certain problems in terms of your supply chains, in terms of everything else that's going on.
[17:36] And you see what Trump is doing.
[17:39] Every single peace settlement is also a resource settlement for new supply chains particularly in the rare metals which actually fu fuel uh the 21st century economy.
[17:50] So, um, you know, I think the Abraham Accords is the one I'd pick because it is a once ina-lifetime moment.
[17:59] Uh, and it would really solve this problem of peace through development.
[18:05] Uh, which, you know, if you look at Iran right now, they're running out of water.
[18:09] That's the key thing to to realize.
[18:15] The desalinization would solve all of that for the entire area.
[18:18] But Scott Besson is pushing on all of those actual physical economic weak points.
[18:26] And that's where the whole thing is going to collapse ultimately, I believe, is on the fact that their economy can't sustain itself under the massive kind of economic pressure we put on them.
[18:39] Thank you, Susan.
[18:42] Any thoughts?
[18:42] Yeah, I I'll stick on on this one because I think it really is absolutely critical for people to think through strategically how this has actually unfolded.
[18:56] I mean, one of my friends, Alex Craner, keeps using this this example of you put red ants and black ants in a jar and then you shake the jar up so that they will fight each other.
[19:07] Well, that is the perfect description of the way the British have organized this entire region of the world for over a hundred.
[19:15] years.
[19:18] Um, you know, the red ants, let's just say, are Israel, the black ants are everybody else.
[19:21] So, what do the British do?
[19:23] They plunk down the state of Israel in the middle of this area.
[19:25] Uh, and then they keep shaking the jar.
[19:29] And that's what they have been doing for the past 70, 80 years in this region.
[19:36] But part of it is, okay, the red ants are sitting there surrounded by black ants who are telling them, "We don't believe in your right to exist."
[19:43] Well, you know, you're going to end up with a kind of garrison state mentality in there, which is what Netanyahu and his team have fed off of.
[19:53] The British controlled, I'll call it right-wing in Israel has always preferred the Islamic fundamentalists.
[20:00] It's why the Netanyahu government through back channels was financing Hamas prior to October 7th because they do not want secular authorities.
[20:11] Just like the British didn't want secular governments.
[20:17] to emerge in the Middle East region
[20:20] throughout the 20th century whenever you
[20:22] had a secular government it came under
[20:25] attack by the Muslim Brotherhood by the
[20:28] British run muslim Brotherhood. add
[20:31] something else to it. Not just secular
[20:33] governments. How about governments that
[20:34] actually want economic development? And
[20:37] again, go back to Iran as the classic
[20:39] example. Mosedc, the nationalist in the
[20:42] 1950s wanted economic development. Gets
[20:45] overthrown by the British and their
[20:47] little friends in the CIA, the Dulles
[20:49] brothers. Um, the Sha comes in, but at a
[20:52] certain point, the Sha is starting to
[20:54] function in the interests of the Iranian
[20:56] people. Wants nuclear development, wants
[20:58] nuclear power. Guess what nuclear power
[21:01] does? If you're trying to control the
[21:03] world through the control of fossil
[21:05] fuels, you don't want nuclear
[21:08] development because that breaks their
[21:09] control. And that's where, you know, our
[21:13] energy dominance will be going next.
[21:15] Right now, yes, it's based on oil,
[21:17] natural gas, but the future lies with
[21:20] nuclear power. The minute the shot
[21:22] started to move toward that kind of
[21:24] economic development, he's out. And what
[21:26] comes in in his place? again, one of
[21:29] these Islamic fundamentalist operations
[21:31] because those are the real black ants in
[21:34] this. And so for 50 years, you know,
[21:37] whenever it looks like something is
[21:40] going to develop outside of British
[21:42] imperial control, they shake the jar.
[21:45] Now what Trump is doing number one is
[21:50] are and number two creating a world in
[21:53] which the black ants and the red ants
[21:54] are both told you're going to have to
[21:56] live peaceful peacefully with each other
[21:59] you know and and that you know that is
[22:02] the overall strategic
[22:06] at this point and people really do need
[22:09] to think through historically and
[22:12] strategically not react from these
[22:15] simple-minded
[22:17] uh you know definitions of what the
[22:19] fight is whether it's pro- Israel pro
[22:22] Palestine it is it is much much more
[22:26] complicated from the standpoint of it
[22:29] well in a sense it's not complicated at
[22:31] all that's not the issue the issue is
[22:34] the British Empire versus sovereign
[22:36] nations and the way they have played
[22:38] all these forces in the Middle East for
[22:41] over a hundred years and we're on the
[22:43] verge of ending that which is very very
[22:45] big.
[22:48] >> Thank you Susan and thank you David for
[22:51] the question. The next one here is also
[22:53] on um asking about one of our friends
[22:56] here and this this narrative I have seen
[22:59] in my limited news consumption. Um I
[23:02] have seen this angle come up here but
[23:05] maybe we could talk about for just a
[23:06] second. Tom Luango says thank first off
[23:09] thank you Chad for joining us every
[23:10] week. Tom Luango says that Iran nuke
[23:13] dust can track back to Obama. Therefore,
[23:16] we can also track NK's uh nukes, North
[23:20] Korea's nukes to Bill Clinton. Clearly,
[23:22] there is also evidence against the
[23:24] neocons for 9/11. Now, is Trump going to
[23:27] nail all three
[23:31] or is that is that just a complete
[23:34] another one of these scop storylines
[23:36] that are out there?
[23:38] No, I I don't I think Tom is right. In
[23:40] other words, the point is that the Iran
[23:43] nuc we proved through this war that Iran
[23:46] has been lying through their teeth about
[23:48] what they're doing to everybody. Okay?
[23:50] And you know, they had missiles which
[23:53] could reach Europe that that wasn't
[23:55] supposed to happen. Uh they had 60% uh
[23:58] enriched uranium. They said they didn't.
[24:01] And you know, they issued a fat law
[24:03] against precisely that. Um, so they've
[24:06] been lying through their teeth and the
[24:07] lying started, as Trump keeps
[24:10] emphasizing, through the Iran nuclear
[24:12] deal, which Obama did. Now, Trump said
[24:15] something very mysterious yesterday,
[24:17] which I, you know, I sort of jumped out
[24:20] of my seat about because he said, uh,
[24:23] you know, Obama picked the wrong country
[24:26] to do that. Okay? He could have picked a
[24:30] different country and I but I'm not
[24:32] going to tell you which one. what is
[24:34] doing that? What is he talking about?
[24:37] And I think that's part and parcel of
[24:39] what Tom is actually picking up on here
[24:42] because is it, you know, some kind of
[24:45] deliberate placement of WMDs that we're
[24:48] talking about? After all, we found out
[24:50] through Tulsi and others and Victoria
[24:53] Nuland's confession that we had all
[24:55] these biolabs uh in Ukraine doing what?
[24:59] Um these are the big questions because
[25:02] you know when you're dealing in
[25:03] fundamentals here you have to recognize
[25:05] that the British Empire has always been
[25:08] about population control depopulation.
[25:12] Uh at the center of of the whole thing
[25:15] is Malthusianism. We need less people uh
[25:19] in the world so that we can actually uh
[25:22] you know uh control the world because
[25:24] too many people ends up being difficult
[25:27] in you know overall control. So tracing
[25:31] the nuclear dust back to Obama is
[25:35] absolutely correct. Bill Clinton I don't
[25:38] know about in terms of North Korea um
[25:41] you know because I haven't I I I haven't
[25:43] looked at that. It seems that what Tom
[25:45] is saying is any form of appeasement
[25:48] here actually results in these countries
[25:51] developing nuclear weapons. But in the
[25:53] overall scope of the world, if you're,
[25:57] you know, one of these countries that is
[25:59] sort of in the middle somewhere, not a
[26:02] great power, uh, one of the things you
[26:05] actually have to think about is whether
[26:07] your survival depends on being able to
[26:10] threaten the rest of the world with a
[26:12] nuclear weapon. That's why
[26:15] President Trump's Golden Dome
[26:17] development is so incredibly important.
[26:20] You want to stop nuclear proliferation
[26:22] in that form? Well, you basically have
[26:26] to give the advantage to the defense.
[26:28] You have to learn how to shoot down
[26:30] incoming missiles and drones using
[26:32] advanced technologies to do it. That's
[26:35] what he's doing. He's changing that
[26:37] entire uh strategic map. So, uh, the
[26:42] neocons of 911, yeah, we've always said
[26:44] it was an inside job. Uh, it it's kind
[26:47] of impossible to contemplate that it was
[26:48] anything, uh, but that. Do I think Trump
[26:51] is going to nail all three? Uh, I think
[26:54] he's going to start with Obama. Uh, and
[26:57] he's going to start with the enormous
[26:59] damage Obama and Biden did uh to this
[27:03] country. Whether he goes all the way
[27:05] back to Bill Clinton and North Korea and
[27:07] all these other things, I just don't
[27:09] know. Um, but I think wiping out this
[27:12] Obama apparatus and detailing for people
[27:15] exactly what the fight was here uh will
[27:18] result in the survival of our country.
[27:20] And that's really uh the question here.
[27:25] >> Thank you very much, Barbara.
[27:27] And thank you, Chad. Thank you, Chad,
[27:30] for joining us every week. Okay, I'm
[27:32] gonna take a a few a few thanks here and
[27:35] then I'm going to jump into a rather
[27:37] edgy question. I think uh we should just
[27:40] say that we're not part of this thing.
[27:42] You you'll see how I'll put it together
[27:44] here. So, first I'd like to say thank
[27:46] you to Mother of Pearl. Best podcast on
[27:49] the interweb. So thankful for this group
[27:51] of warriors. Thank you so much for

[28:23] monthly basis, you can just become a
[28:26] paying subscriber to our free
[28:27] newsletter. So, hope that answers your
[28:30] question. Okay. Also, I have this friend
[28:33] here from down under. There's a little
[28:36] scale under super chat. Thank you for
[28:38] your work and thank you so much for
[28:39] joining us. Friends down under. Friend
[28:42] down under. Okay, so here's the edgy
[28:45] question and and I'm going to jump into
[28:48] two questions from our email newsletter.
[28:51] So Joyce says the Balfford declaration
[28:53] should be revoked or if the Rash
[28:55] shield's assets are seized then America
[28:58] could control Palestine until it is
[29:00] given back to the people not genocidal
[29:02] Jewish supremacists.
[29:04] Okay. So the first questions I have on
[29:08] today's slides coincidentally
[29:11] was on this exact question. Now, Barbara
[29:15] and Susan, do you do you want to address
[29:18] anything on the super chat question on
[29:20] this bow for declaration or the Jewish
[29:23] Jewish supremacist? Because this is
[29:25] literally the first question I had on my
[29:27] slides today. Barbara has used the
[29:29] phrase Zionist. Can you please elaborate
[29:31] on our definition of Zionist and the
[29:33] right of Israel to exist? Thank you.
[29:37] Well, uh I don't think there's any
[29:39] question that given the Holocaust,
[29:42] uh you know, basically people tried to
[29:45] come up with a way to give, uh the
[29:47] Jewish people a state where they could
[29:50] be protected against the types of
[29:53] anti-semitic purges, uh which occurred
[29:56] throughout, uh European history. Uh so
[30:00] there's no question in my view that
[30:02] Israel should exist uh and that it has a
[30:07] very very decent tradition. Um but as
[30:11] Susan referenced, when you're constantly
[30:14] under attack in this religious warfare
[30:16] dynamic set up by the British, you end
[30:20] up kind of with a with a Spartan idea of
[30:25] your existence. Uh I am quite certain
[30:27] that in Israel the primary goal of the
[30:30] government is to protect the Jewish
[30:33] people. That's the primary goal of any
[30:36] sovereign state. Um have they done it in
[30:40] a way that I would do it here? I'm not
[30:43] there. I'm not getting missiles in my
[30:45] face every day. I'm not having to look,
[30:48] although it's increasingly getting that
[30:50] way here, at somebody walking down the
[30:52] street and trying to figure out whether
[30:54] they're going to pull out a uh, you
[30:56] know, a a a bomb and detonate themselves
[30:59] in front of me and my kids. All right,
[31:01] that's a that's a daily reality uh which
[31:04] people have to get sort of real about.
[31:07] Zionism
[31:08] uh is something that you know came into
[31:11] existence uh way way way back when
[31:14] during uh you know the uh British
[31:16] Empire's goal of creating various
[31:20] ideologies off of the physical
[31:22] circumstances of various peoples. Um and
[31:27] you know there are very very good
[31:29] Zionists in the world who actually are
[31:32] are universal philosophers of religion
[31:35] and there's this tendency called re
[31:38] revisionist Zionism uh the Zionism of a
[31:42] guy by the name of Jabatinsky who was a
[31:45] British intelligence agent and whose
[31:48] various philosophies
[31:51] uh you know actually are this kind of
[31:53] militant Spartan idea. of the Jewish
[31:56] state versus the other ideas of the
[31:59] Jewish state which have uh flourished
[32:01] throughout history. The whole problem in
[32:04] this analysis is one of economic
[32:07] development after you know the the uh
[32:12] you know agreements worked out during
[32:13] the Clinton administration
[32:16] um you know the very promising
[32:18] agreements between Israel uh and the
[32:20] PLO. Uh the whole thing was dismantled
[32:24] quickly and the reason why in in our
[32:27] view was they didn't put shovels in the
[32:30] ground fast enough. they turned to the
[32:32] World Bank and the IMF to actually do
[32:36] the development program which was called
[32:38] for by those accords. So it became a
[32:42] disaster yet again because the issue is
[32:46] how you going to solve the water problem
[32:48] in the Middle East? How you going to
[32:50] build the infrastructure for these
[32:52] places that have been bombed into
[32:53] smitherreens? How are you going to keep
[32:56] the old colonialist powers completely
[32:58] out of the area who have ruined
[33:00] everything including the French in
[33:03] Lebanon? Okay, these are these are the
[33:06] issues you've got to deal with and you
[33:08] got to figure out how do you get
[33:10] development going
[33:12] jointly in such a way that you can end
[33:15] the cycle of forever wars. So that's my
[33:19] view on the thing. uh you know I don't
[33:21] claim to be uh an expert and yes my dog
[33:25] is having a slight fit because this
[33:27] dog's actually crossing in the way here
[33:30] which he does. He's a corgi. Um but
[33:32] that's my view of it.
[33:36] >> Well, yeah, I'll add look I I think
[33:39] there's there's an underlying
[33:42] methodological problem that keeps coming
[33:45] up with all of these questions. Um
[33:48] because the minute you start taking a
[33:51] race or a religion and you universally
[33:56] condemn it, the British have you because
[34:00] the fight in the world is between two
[34:02] images of man. And within all of these
[34:06] religions, including Christianity,
[34:08] people who label themselves Christians,
[34:11] you will find two different images of
[34:13] man. So I don't think I don't worry so
[34:16] much about the labels. I'm looking at
[34:19] what how how are people functioning from
[34:22] the standpoint of this dividing line
[34:25] that all men are equal because we are
[34:29] created in the image of the creator.
[34:31] That's my viewpoint. That's the
[34:33] viewpoint of our founding fathers.
[34:36] That's the viewpoint of great
[34:37] monotheistic religions. There is a
[34:40] creator. There are universal principles.
[34:43] We're created in his image and by virtue
[34:46] of that we can discover how he created
[34:49] this universe and we can act on it. And
[34:53] the the other image of man is the
[34:55] imperial image of man which goes back
[34:57] thousands of years and that is we're
[35:00] just little animals. We're creatures of
[35:02] passion. We can be manipulated on the
[35:05] basis of our senses and our perceptions,
[35:09] but we can ne we never use our creative
[35:11] powers to act on the universe for the
[35:14] benefit of all mankind. And I'm telling
[35:17] you in you take all the big three
[35:19] monotheistic Christianity, Judaism,
[35:22] Islam, you got both in both. So don't
[35:27] start just taking the labels and saying
[35:30] this, you know, all roads lead back to
[35:33] the Jews. All Islam, all Muslims want to
[35:35] kill everybody who's not Islamic. You
[35:38] know, this is this is an enemy way of
[35:40] thinking that people have fallen for.
[35:44] And we're never going to be able to
[35:45] solve the problems whether they're in
[35:47] the Middle East or in the world if
[35:49] people don't start operating from the
[35:51] standpoint of that much more fundamental
[35:53] decision understanding and from that
[35:57] understanding go look at what somebody
[35:59] is doing in Israel and judge them what
[36:01] side are they actually on that fight or
[36:05] in um you know Saudi Arabia or Lebanon.
[36:08] What side are they actually on in that
[36:10] fight?
[36:12] And are they consciously on the other
[36:14] side or are they just trapped on the
[36:17] other side? which is one of the things
[36:19] Donald Trump is trying to do is create a
[36:22] conception of a world and begin to
[36:24] launch policies where people who have
[36:26] been trapped in a a you know in a
[36:31] terrible image of man by virtue of you
[36:35] know in a certain sense the Stockholm
[36:37] syndrome I've often said you know and
[36:39] show them no there's there's another
[36:41] world out there where you actually can
[36:43] be a human being so you know there is
[36:46] just so much I'm social media, which is
[36:50] just this simple-minded
[36:52] labeling of people, which then gets
[36:55] really emotional reactions. I see how
[36:57] emotional people get. It's the Jews,
[37:00] it's the Muslims, you know, and you
[37:02] know, behind the curtain, you've got an
[37:04] imperial system which wants to wipe you
[37:07] out whether you're Jewish or Muslim if
[37:09] you happen to or Christian if you happen
[37:11] to get in their way. That's who you
[37:13] should be looking at.
[37:17] Thank you, Susan. And I I want to
[37:20] comment on what you just finished on. Um
[37:23] it's literally stereotyping as
[37:27] propaganda.
[37:29] That's and I'm sure there's a more
[37:31] technical word for it, but you use the
[37:34] techniques of how in how humans
[37:38] stereotype things and you attack that
[37:41] you use that technique to to like attack
[37:45] other people on the planet in various
[37:47] ways.
[37:49] Thank you. So, thank you Susan. Thank
[37:50] you, Barbara. And I'm going to continue
[37:52] here and jump back to some questions.
[37:56] So,
[37:58] another friend from
[38:02] another friend from Australia. Pray for
[38:04] wisdom. And listen, folks, thank you for
[38:06] joining us, friend from down under.
[38:10] And we're going to go back to asking
[38:12] some more questions now about the
[38:14] Iranian regime. So, thank you. I think
[38:17] it's Cyrex core something that So, thank
[38:20] you very much for the question. And I'm
[38:22] going to pull this in with almost
[38:24] identical questions we got from our
[38:25] email newsletter. There can be no deal
[38:28] with the current Iranian regime. They
[38:30] lie, have lied, and continue to do so.
[38:33] You cannot negotiate with terrorists. I
[38:36] wonder why the Iranian people have not
[38:38] taken over now that the military is
[38:40] gone. Well, I'm not exactly certain the
[38:43] military is gone. But let me let me pull
[38:46] up these two other questions here on
[38:48] Iran and what's going on.
[38:53] Let me turn this off here.
[38:55] So, Trump's offer to join Iran um
[38:58] Trump's offer to Iran to join the
[39:00] Abraham Accords appears like food for
[39:02] the rags as Iran has no intention of
[39:05] agreeing that Israel should exist. Iran
[39:08] responded by laying mines down in the
[39:10] straight of Hormuz and their hoodies are
[39:13] all on their way to close this the Suez
[39:16] Canal. Their buddies Pakistan reject the
[39:19] accords as well. The Iranians continue
[39:22] to spit in the face of the US, but Trump
[39:26] wants needs to give the appearance that
[39:28] peace is near. There's a lot more going
[39:31] on than what is being discussed. And we
[39:34] know the people, no matter how much are
[39:36] counting on Trump, we know he is talking
[39:39] BS. Not a good feeling. So, I just want
[39:43] to pull up this person's name. Thank
[39:44] you, Lori, for your question and
[39:46] comment.
[39:48] And Jet Jetsky says, "I am confused at
[39:51] President Trump's strategy to invite
[39:54] Iran to the Abraham Accords AC um accord
[39:58] to the uh IRGC.
[40:03] Thank you, Jetsky, for your comment.
[40:08] >> Well, I think I think basically all of
[40:10] these questions avoid the reality that
[40:12] Susan just talked about and what Trump
[40:14] is doing. You have a split quite
[40:17] obviously within the Iranian regime at
[40:20] this point. You have Russia and China uh
[40:23] actually working in my belief on back
[40:26] channels to actually help solve this
[40:28] problem. Uh and Trump is actually
[40:33] looking at it from the standpoint not of
[40:35] any one of these kind of, you know, I'll
[40:38] call them set pieces on the chessboard.
[40:41] Okay? And and they're set pieces. So,
[40:45] what is the IRGC? The IRGC is the most
[40:49] rapid uh cult-like formation in the
[40:52] current Iranian uh situation. But by
[40:56] being financed by all of these British
[40:58] banks over the years, they control the
[41:01] infrastructure
[41:03] of the country. Uh they run the
[41:06] infrastructure of the country. Um, so
[41:10] targeting the IRGC, which Trump is
[41:12] doing, uh, is critical to actually being
[41:15] able to free the Iranian people who
[41:18] live, you know, in constant fear. I
[41:20] mean, look, they already killed 30,000
[41:23] people for going into the streets. Uh,
[41:26] they're killing people right and left
[41:28] right now for protesting. That's the
[41:30] nature of the regime. Trump has got two
[41:33] choices at this point. He's either going
[41:35] to do an ultimate military strike, which
[41:38] may happen, or the economic pressure
[41:42] will cause them to come to their senses
[41:44] because the population simply will rise
[41:48] up in an organized fashion because of
[41:50] the fact that they have to live, they
[41:52] have to have food, they have to have
[41:54] gas, they have to have all of these
[41:56] other things. So, you know, basically, I
[42:00] think that that and the Abraham Accords,
[42:03] what is that? It's not a fantasy. It
[42:06] happened already. As Trump said
[42:07] yesterday, we have various Middle East
[42:11] networks who were and nations who were
[42:13] the sworn enemies of Israel. When I
[42:17] started this, I said Trump started out
[42:20] by going into Saudi Arabia, which had
[42:22] been being used as a pawn by the bushes
[42:25] and everybody else to wage endless wars
[42:28] of the Middle East, and said, "The
[42:30] United States is not doing terrorism
[42:32] anymore." He then proceeded in his first
[42:35] term to wipe out ISIS very, very quickly
[42:38] and surgically. All right, which was,
[42:41] you know, the the other equivalent of
[42:44] the IRGC born out of the stupid Iranian
[42:49] war. He's not in this for the long-term
[42:53] kinetic warfare. He's either going to
[42:55] wipe them out uh economically
[42:58] and his kinetic strikes will be based on
[43:01] wiping them out economically or we're
[43:04] going to have a peace agreement. It's
[43:05] one of the two. He's already created a
[43:09] factional situation very clearly in the
[43:12] government between those who who are
[43:14] opposing the IRGC. There's a battle a
[43:17] huge battle going on internal to Iran
[43:20] which people who say there can't be any
[43:23] deal. They're liars etc don't even
[43:26] recognize. So, you know, the reason why
[43:29] the people aren't rising up is because
[43:33] that battle has not resolved itself. And
[43:36] the tensions, the pressure Trump is
[43:37] putting on the situation is all directed
[43:40] towards getting sane people
[43:43] to actually resolve it. He's also
[43:47] rejected the idea of simply imposing the
[43:50] Shaw's son on the country, which is what
[43:52] Israel wants. That's this. It's very
[43:56] unclear that that would even be
[43:58] successful.
[43:59] And you know, he's basically said this
[44:01] has to happen organically like it did in
[44:03] Venezuela. Um, somebody's got to take
[44:06] leadership here in terms of the country
[44:09] and send it in our direction. So, that's
[44:11] the tension and I'm sure everybody feels
[44:14] it, but you've got to recognize that
[44:16] this is this is war. You can't sit in in
[44:20] the background and understand everything
[44:22] that's going on. I don't even pretend
[44:24] to. There are dozens and dozens of back
[44:27] channels here working on this situation.
[44:29] I believe primarily from Russia and
[44:31] China in big ways. Um, and everybody
[44:36] wants the situation to be stabilized.
[44:39] So, uh, I think people who keep getting
[44:42] caught up in the torrent of the moment
[44:44] and the propaganda from the press and
[44:47] saying most of all that Trump is talking
[44:49] BS when he raises the Abraham Accords,
[44:53] of course, people are going to say that,
[44:56] you know, they don't want to recognize
[44:58] Israel. That's the whole issue. All
[45:00] right? It's been the issue for years.
[45:03] And, you know, you don't get anywhere by
[45:05] saying, "Okay, that's their position."
[45:07] and you fight that position, which is
[45:09] what Trump is actually saying. Look at
[45:12] the future, people. What's what's the
[45:15] big deal? You recognize Israel, you get
[45:17] Israeli technology, which is a big deal.
[45:19] You get desalinization plants to solve
[45:22] your water problem. Uh, you know, and
[45:24] and that actually helps you develop. Uh,
[45:28] you're you're in a different world than
[45:30] the one that has been set up by the city
[45:31] of London for hundreds of years. That's
[45:34] the goal. Is it bold? Is it, you know,
[45:38] basically completely outside the box in
[45:40] terms of what anybody has thought of
[45:42] before? You bet. But that's what you
[45:45] actually elected Donald Trump to do is
[45:47] get outside the box of all of these
[45:50] stupid uh linear conceptions of how we
[45:54] actually do things in the world. So
[45:56] that's, you know, that's what I'd have
[45:58] to say to all of those questions. Uh,
[46:01] you know, people change in the course of
[46:04] war. um you know things really get quite
[46:08] different once you're facing the problem
[46:10] which the Iranian leadership in whatever
[46:13] form is facing now is how do we feed our
[46:16] people how we going to feed our people
[46:18] in this situation how we going to will
[46:20] they rise up I think so if you don't
[46:23] solve the problem uh so you know
[46:26] basically the the group that has broken
[46:28] itself off and that we are negotiating
[46:30] with has said and recognized we have
[46:33] real problems Folks, people have to be
[46:36] fed. We have to have living standards in
[46:38] this country. And the pressure which the
[46:40] United States uh through Scott Besson
[46:43] and others is exerting here will destroy
[46:45] us unless we actually agree to a
[46:48] solution which is to our benefit. And
[46:51] that's that's the carrot that Trump
[46:53] keeps holding out is look at the future.
[46:56] This could be entirely different. Uh
[46:58] will it succeed? I don't know. It
[47:01] depends on whether mostly whether our
[47:03] people here get smart and actually
[47:05] understand what the president is doing.
[47:09] >> Thank you, Barbara. Susan, any comment
[47:11] on this one
[47:13] >> or this because we also had some ones
[47:15] from the um

[47:52] live Q&A show every Thursday.
[47:56] So, make sure you're subscribed to our
[47:57] YouTube channel and consider getting our
[48:00] free email newsletter. The links in the
[48:02] description.
[48:04] All right, I'm going to go take another
[48:06] question here from Amy uh just to stay
[48:10] on this issue of what's going on with
[48:13] the Middle East and the peace process
[48:15] here. So, Amy, thank you very much for
[48:17] joining us, for joining us this week and
[48:20] being one of our first real fans here on
[48:23] the YouTube live show. Why why doesn't
[48:26] Trump want the prince to lead with the
[48:28] freedom uh why doesn't why doesn't Trump
[48:31] want the prince to lead with the freedom
[48:33] group that want democracy? Why does
[48:36] Israel want him?
[48:42] Because Israel is stuck in a trap of of
[48:45] essentially thinking about the entire
[48:48] thing as a regime change war. Uh and
[48:51] Trump has rejected that. He said it's in
[48:53] reality it's happened. All right. There
[48:56] has been regime change, but we didn't
[48:58] set out to do regime change. And you
[49:01] know, if you look at the prince's
[49:03] backing and everything else, he he's he
[49:05] will be seen by the Iranian people as a
[49:09] return to the sha and a pawn of Israel
[49:13] because that's where his financing and
[49:15] other stuff has actually come from. He's
[49:18] probably a good guy. I don't deny that.
[49:20] All right. But you can't get around the
[49:23] history here. And Trump's entire idea,
[49:26] just look at Venezuela.
[49:29] All right? His entire idea is you don't
[49:32] impose someone from the outside who's
[49:35] been living outside the country for
[49:37] years and expect them to come in and
[49:40] have popular resonance with the
[49:43] population. You need the leadership to
[49:46] rise from within that Iranian population
[49:49] at this point. And I think the people
[49:52] who are negotiating with the faction
[49:54] fight I just mentioned uh has within it
[49:58] uh the future uh leaders of Iran. So
[50:01] that's what how would I answer the
[50:03] question? Yeah. Yeah, I mean I just add
[50:05] one thing to further the example that
[50:07] Barbara gave, which is I would not be at
[50:10] all surprised that the forces pushing
[50:15] uh Raza Palabi and again aside from
[50:18] himself as a person and perhaps capable,
[50:21] I don't know. Uh but the forces push
[50:23] pushing him are probably the same forces
[50:26] that were push pushing the Nobel
[50:28] laureate, I can't even remember her name
[50:30] now in Venezuela. you know, why don't we
[50:32] make her the president of Venezuela? And
[50:35] Trump just said, "No, we tried to do
[50:38] that in Iraq, right? We, you know, we we
[50:41] wiped out everybody and you ended up
[50:44] with complete chaos." You have to have
[50:46] some kind of continuity
[50:49] of the institutions
[50:51] that are, you know, again, it gets back
[50:53] to what I said in terms of when when
[50:57] many people in the world, many people in
[51:01] this country
[51:03] compromise with institutions of evil
[51:06] because you think you have no choice.
[51:08] You know how many people in the United
[51:10] States basically put put their heads
[51:12] down over the decades saying there's
[51:14] nothing I can do. You know, we keep
[51:17] going from a bad Democrat to a bad
[51:19] Republican to a bad Democrat to a bad
[51:22] Republican. I'm just going to figure out
[51:24] how to live in that world as best I
[51:27] possibly can because you you you didn't
[51:30] have the sense that there would ever be
[51:33] a force powerful enough to challenge
[51:36] that uni party and that establishment.
[51:39] Well, guess what? If you think that's
[51:41] true in the United States, how about the
[51:43] world where pretty much any leader in
[51:47] the post-war period who challenged
[51:50] this British imperial elite got
[51:53] assassinated or couped. I was talking
[51:56] about India the other day with on a on a
[51:59] different podcast. Indira Gandhi, you
[52:02] know, somebody who represented and
[52:05] somebody who our own mentor had personal
[52:09] relations with re represent was fighting
[52:13] for the economic independence and the
[52:15] development of nuclear power for India,
[52:19] assassinated and if I remember
[52:21] correctly, her son was subsequently
[52:23] assassinated almost a kind of Kennedy
[52:25] familiar assassination.
[52:28] Mexico in the 1980s when the Mexican
[52:32] president Lopez Portillio wanted to use
[52:34] Mexico's oil wealth to develop nuclear
[52:38] power. Again, this is what always
[52:40] happens because the British love their
[52:42] fossil fuels so that they can constantly
[52:44] control them. Of course, once they think
[52:46] they control all their fossil fuels,
[52:48] they wanted to get rid of them and have
[52:50] windmills and solar panels. How'd that
[52:52] work out for them in Europe? Um but but
[52:55] you know Lopez Portio was completely
[52:58] isolated. Other other leaders around the
[53:01] world have been assassinated
[53:03] industrialists and others because they
[53:06] stick their head above the foxhole and
[53:08] dare to actually put forward economic
[53:11] development policies. So honestly most
[53:14] leaders around the world until Donald
[53:16] Trump came along just put their heads
[53:18] down and said, "I'm going to live in
[53:19] this world. I don't care how bad it is.
[53:21] I'm going to stay alive and maybe do the
[53:23] best I can or maybe I'll just cash in on
[53:26] living in this world. And then Trump
[53:29] comes along and says, "No, I'm going to
[53:31] create a world where better forces can
[53:33] arise within countries." But as Barbara
[53:36] said, it has to be organic.
[53:39] and to see those better forces beginning
[53:41] to develop whether it's in Venezuela,
[53:44] whether it's in Iran, whether it's in
[53:46] Israel, whether it's in any country, a
[53:49] world in which you're allowed to
[53:51] actually act on the basis of what is
[53:53] best for your people as opposed to
[53:57] following the playbook that the people
[53:58] who otherwise are going to kill you or
[54:00] coup you or starve you tell you you're
[54:03] going to carry out. That's the principle
[54:05] of leadership in the world. That's where
[54:07] what Donald Trump is doing is something
[54:08] none of us have seen in our lifetimes.
[54:12] Um, and and you have to start to
[54:14] evaluate from that standpoint. I just
[54:17] want to make one other comment. I I wish
[54:19] people would stop trying to do diplomacy
[54:22] on through social media. I mean, it's
[54:24] just, you know, it's it's it's
[54:27] sophomoric.
[54:28] It's ridiculous.
[54:30] Most people are not thinking from the
[54:32] standpoint of this strategy and this
[54:34] history. And you know, even if you are,
[54:37] even if Barbara and I are, from that
[54:39] standpoint, we're not on the inside in
[54:41] terms of the considerations
[54:44] that the president and his team are
[54:46] making. So, um, you know, it's armchair
[54:51] quarterbacking at its worst.
[54:55] >> Thank you, Susan. Thank you, Barbara.
[54:58] And thank you Amy for joining us this
[55:00] week. Love having you here every week.
[55:02] Okay. Um I'm going to take now let me
[55:06] just tease you guys a little bit. I know
[55:08] one of the biggest questions that came
[55:11] up in our in our questions that we got
[55:13] from our email newsletter subscribers,
[55:15] but also I saw a bunch of people
[55:17] bringing it up in the chat is data
[55:19] centers. So, we are going to be talking
[55:23] about data centers in just a moment, but
[55:27] just to close this loop here because we
[55:29] basically we've done this entire show
[55:32] basically on Iran, Iran, Israel, the
[55:36] potential for peace in the Middle East.
[55:38] Literally, we've done an hour on it on
[55:40] this topic. So, let me close the loop
[55:43] here and just take this very simple
[55:46] question on what's going on in Gaza.
[55:51] And Paula asks, very simple question,
[55:55] and I I don't know the situation on the
[55:57] ground. Maybe Susan or Barbara have some
[55:59] thoughts on it, but I thought this would
[56:00] close the story loop really well here.
[56:02] What is happening with Gaza? This is
[56:05] something that so many people in our
[56:08] audience say and ask us all the time.
[56:11] So, what's going on?
[56:13] >> Well, what's happening is the
[56:14] reconstruction is pretty much stalled.
[56:18] Uh I think in part until we resolve the
[56:22] current state of conflict in terms of
[56:25] Iran and therefore Israel and therefore
[56:28] the Abraham Accords uh the structures
[56:31] that were put in place to rebuild
[56:34] um are not rebuilding very quickly. Um,
[56:39] but I think again that's a function of
[56:41] it being still embedded in this
[56:44] strategic entanglement which the
[56:47] president is trying to untangle. That
[56:49] being said, the board of peace stands
[56:52] ready to begin to rebuild on a massive
[56:56] scale. Um, but I think that we're going
[57:00] to have to see the resolution of this
[57:01] larger conflict before that moves
[57:03] forward.
[57:09] Yeah, I don't have anything to add.
[57:12] >> Okay. And you know, it's really funny.
[57:14] Somebody in the chat just reminded me I
[57:16] did want to take this, which is on a
[57:18] very similar topic, which is actually on
[57:21] what's going on in Lebanon.
[57:23] About a month ago, I saw a
[57:25] non-traditional news story on Israeli
[57:28] actions against Lebanese people. History
[57:30] made it seem that Israel was committing
[57:32] genocide against the residents. Um, this
[57:34] in uh residents of limited, this
[57:36] includes killing families, women,
[57:38] children. Are there active Israeli
[57:40] factions involved in this war that are
[57:42] still intent on developing a greater
[57:44] Israel by conquering and engulfing
[57:46] countries that surround Israel as we now
[57:48] know her. Thank you, William, for your
[57:50] question.
[57:52] Uh, this is again a deep history uh in
[57:55] terms of Lebanon was uh, you know, one
[57:59] of the really sovereign states in the
[58:02] Middle East. uh it suffers from a
[58:04] history of French colonialism
[58:07] uh which is still a very active force
[58:09] there but the primary thing that's going
[58:11] on is Hezbollah
[58:13] uh and you know Hezbollah has been
[58:16] attacking Israel it's committed to
[58:18] destroying Israel uh and particularly an
[58:22] entire area of Israel can't be occupied
[58:24] at this point by the population they've
[58:27] been completely moved out uh because of
[58:30] the incoming rockets and everything else
[58:32] coming from Hezbollah.
[58:34] So, the United States has intervened.
[58:37] There are peace talks going on right
[58:39] now, literally today, I believe, uh in
[58:42] Washington DC at the State Department uh
[58:45] between uh all of the various uh parties
[58:50] uh in the Lebanese conflict trying to
[58:52] settle that war uh with the Secretary of
[58:55] State very much trying to achieve a
[58:58] peace there. Um, and we'll just have to
[59:01] see how that all pans out, but it's part
[59:02] of the same package. Hasbel is totally
[59:05] funded by Iran, uh, and has been, uh,
[59:10] and that is the real conflict going on
[59:12] right now in the entire Middle East.
[59:16] >> Yeah. And but to answer the other part
[59:18] of that, um, yes, there are innocent
[59:21] women and children and families and
[59:23] villages being destroyed by Israeli
[59:26] attacks. Yes, there is a greater Israel
[59:29] faction um which wants to carve out
[59:31] large parts of the Middle East. But
[59:33] again, it all comes back to what we've
[59:36] already established. This is the British
[59:38] strategy of red ants and black ants, and
[59:42] it's not going to be solved inside that
[59:44] jar.
[59:49] Thank you, ladies.
[59:52] Okay, little bit of a change in pace.
[59:54] Uh, we got another significant super
[59:57] chat, but it's on a topic that I didn't
[59:59] have any questions queued up about, but
[01:00:01] it's certainly a topic that
[01:00:04] that um comes up all the time in our in
[01:00:07] our newsletter questions and in the
[01:00:09] chat. So, I'd like to thank thank you,
[01:00:11] Jim, for the super chat. I'm sorry about
[01:00:14] your loss, but this is a question that
[01:00:17] does come up a lot, and I think this is
[01:00:19] super important for us to discuss.
[01:00:22] actively participate in bioweapon labs
[01:00:24] and COVID 19 vaccine manufacturer to
[01:00:27] achieve this. I lost my 30-year-old son
[01:00:31] to this vaccine.
[01:00:34] I'm sorry to hear about that, Jim.
[01:00:36] Again, sorry for your loss. Barbara and
[01:00:38] Susan, any thoughts on the the bioweapon
[01:00:41] lab story and the COVID 19 vaccine story
[01:00:45] uh that you were Barbara earlier you
[01:00:47] were discussing uh this and regarding a
[01:00:50] question with Tom Luango.
[01:00:53] >> Well, basically what's going on is the
[01:00:56] administration is moving I think very
[01:00:58] forcefully on this. They've indicted uh
[01:01:00] Anthony Fouch's key assistant
[01:01:04] uh and basically they've indicted him on
[01:01:06] very very strong obstruction of justice
[01:01:09] charges. Uh they are you know basically
[01:01:12] in a major investigation showing uh you
[01:01:16] know that the actual vaccine side
[01:01:19] effects and other things were
[01:01:21] deliberately blocked. uh and they're
[01:01:24] working on that investigation to
[01:01:26] actually indict people. Um with respect
[01:01:30] to the whole nature of these bioweapons
[01:01:34] and all this other stuff, that's an area
[01:01:36] that I really think is being looked at
[01:01:39] very very hard by Tulsi Gabbard uh and
[01:01:43] by lots of other people in terms of what
[01:01:45] in the hell was going on here? Uh why
[01:01:48] did we have bioweapons labs in Ukraine?
[01:01:50] What was that all about? Um, and you
[01:01:54] know, the the Echo Health Alliance, I
[01:01:57] mean, this indictment is is a big deal,
[01:02:00] and I I can't emphasize it enough to
[01:02:02] people because uh the charges that I
[01:02:05] read the indictment, it's very strong.
[01:02:07] uh if a plea deal is made, most
[01:02:10] certainly this guy is going to basically
[01:02:13] implicate uh the Echo Health Alliance,
[01:02:16] which was running all of the experiments
[01:02:18] at the uh lab in uh China. Um and it's
[01:02:24] going to shift the entire nature of what
[01:02:26] people actually think. This was not
[01:02:28] supposed to be happening. In other
[01:02:30] words, Barack Obama for the one good
[01:02:33] thing he did is he banned this type of
[01:02:36] research. Um, so it was completely
[01:02:39] outside the bounds of what was then
[01:02:41] legally going on. Fouchi went around it.
[01:02:45] Um you know there's lots of actual
[01:02:48] applications for uh you know the types
[01:02:51] of technologies which are actually which
[01:02:54] were actually used in creating the co 19
[01:02:57] vaccines uh primarily in cancer
[01:02:59] treatment um you know it's part of the
[01:03:02] whole regime around amunotherapy.
[01:03:05] The problem is that this was a
[01:03:07] scientific experiment with absolutely no
[01:03:10] guard rails to it. All right.
[01:03:14] If if I'm a cancer patient and I go for
[01:03:17] amunotherapy, they're going to tell me
[01:03:19] essentially the following. This is
[01:03:22] either a way that you're going to get
[01:03:24] cured totally or you're going to die
[01:03:26] from the treatment. That's disclosed to
[01:03:29] you when you go into imunotherapy
[01:03:31] because they don't know how to tune it
[01:03:33] to the human immune system yet. They're
[01:03:36] working on it. But in that instance,
[01:03:38] they tell you upfront, this is an
[01:03:41] experimental treatment. Some people who
[01:03:43] have these deadly blood cancers actually
[01:03:46] come out of this completely cancer-free.
[01:03:49] Other people die from it because we
[01:03:52] don't know how to tune the immune
[01:03:54] system. They'll tell you that this on
[01:03:57] the other hand is almost the same
[01:04:00] thing being massively inoculated into an
[01:04:04] entire population. Uh and the problem
[01:04:08] was that the risks were not made clear
[01:04:10] to people at all and it was mandated.
[01:04:14] That was crazy. That was insane. And you
[01:04:17] know, I think you're also going to find
[01:04:19] out it was not just uh you know, some
[01:04:22] kind of mistake. uh it was literally a
[01:04:26] very evil uh type of intention which was
[01:04:29] behind it. Uh primarily involved, I'm
[01:04:32] going to tell you upfront in making a
[01:04:34] lot of money. Uh so that's the deal. Um
[01:04:39] and uh that's as much as we know at this
[01:04:41] point. I think we're going to be
[01:04:42] learning a lot more. I'm very very sorry
[01:04:44] for your loss.
[01:04:48] Yeah, that was a forced medical
[01:04:50] treatment that they pushed on the
[01:04:51] population and they used all levels of
[01:04:53] coercion to do it, including outrightly
[01:04:55] lying about it. Yeah, that's really like
[01:04:58] Nazi medicine at its finest.
[01:05:01] Uh, thank you. Thank you, Jim, for
[01:05:02] sending in your question. Um, sorry for
[01:05:04] your loss. We have free newsletter. Make
[01:05:07] sure you're subscribed. Love to see you
[01:05:09] here. Thank you.
[01:05:11] Okay, now we're going to move to we're
[01:05:14] going to move to the data center
[01:05:16] question because I know just by seeing
[01:05:18] people talk about it in the chat before
[01:05:21] I started I knew this was a hot topic.
[01:05:23] Um
[01:05:25] so let me pull them up here. I have I'm
[01:05:27] going to read I'm going to take five of
[01:05:29] them at a time but they kind of reflect
[01:05:32] the same thing. Okay so first one here's
[01:05:34] from Jackie. In southwest Michigan where
[01:05:37] we live in the summer, our Smart Lake
[01:05:39] community is up in arms against Trump's
[01:05:42] data centers taking over good farmland.
[01:05:46] All of them have TDS, but I'm not sure
[01:05:48] how to respond. They certainly don't
[01:05:51] want one taking over the fields nearby
[01:05:55] and do worry about the underground
[01:05:57] springs feeding our lake.
[01:06:04] Of of course none of these people said a
[01:06:06] word uh food farmland was sold for solar
[01:06:10] field which causes the field to be
[01:06:12] unusable for crops for 50 years.
[01:06:15] And it's good that you bring up that
[01:06:17] little ironic point at the end there.
[01:06:19] All these people are complaining about
[01:06:20] data centers but they weren't anywhere
[01:06:22] to be found when they were doing solar
[01:06:24] fields. So thank you Jackie for your
[01:06:26] question and the insight. Victoria says,
[01:06:28] "In your opinion, is it a foregone
[01:06:30] conclusion that data centers are coming
[01:06:32] to rural America no matter what? And can
[01:06:36] you speak to whether or not you feel
[01:06:38] that the administration is going to take
[01:06:40] any measure to make sure that fragile
[01:06:42] water stressed communities are not left
[01:06:45] with destruction from them?" I asked
[01:06:48] because I am curious what you're hearing
[01:06:50] and seeing. Are you seeing that there is
[01:06:53] a lot of negative propaganda versus real
[01:06:56] legitimate concern in my community in
[01:06:58] eastern New Mexico? There is a definite
[01:07:00] concern
[01:07:02] and I and many others have about
[01:07:04] productive farms and ranch land being
[01:07:07] used for them and the water needed which
[01:07:09] would further stress our current water
[01:07:12] situation, affect reproductive
[01:07:14] agriculture and depress our economy once
[01:07:18] the center potentially folds.
[01:07:22] Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you,
[01:07:23] Victoria.
[01:07:25] Um, Carrie, what are all the data
[01:07:27] centers that's popping up uh everywhere?
[01:07:30] Uh, what are the data centers really
[01:07:32] used for that are popping up everywhere?
[01:07:33] Thank you. Thank you for all. Thank you,
[01:07:35] Carrie, for your question. Mary says,
[01:07:37] "Is anyone in control of the data
[01:07:39] centers going up
[01:07:42] using precious water supplies, the chem
[01:07:45] the chemtrail poisons we breathe? Does
[01:07:47] Trump even know?"
[01:07:49] Thank you, Mary. And finally, Nancy,
[01:07:53] with all the focus on data centers
[01:07:55] across the US in mostly rural areas,
[01:07:59] what is their purpose? And will they
[01:08:01] happen with all the resources needed to
[01:08:04] run them and the backhand deals to get
[01:08:06] the land and the water? Is it really for
[01:08:10] the good of all?
[01:08:13] Thank you for all you do, Nancy. And
[01:08:15] thank you, Nancy, for sending in this
[01:08:17] question.
[01:08:21] Well, I'll start. Uh, you know, there
[01:08:23] the Kevin Olirri uh who many people uh
[01:08:27] probably know from television uh has
[01:08:29] just been coming out and saying he's
[01:08:32] trying to build a data center. And he,
[01:08:34] you know, basically set off an
[01:08:36] investigation to find out where all of
[01:08:39] the fear-mongering around his data
[01:08:42] center was coming from. And much to no
[01:08:45] one's surprise, he discovered that it
[01:08:47] was a Chinese intelligence operation.
[01:08:50] Now, why would that be? Because we're in
[01:08:54] a race, whoever actually masters this
[01:08:57] technology.
[01:08:59] Uh, and it's going to be used for all
[01:09:01] sorts of things. It is really a a very
[01:09:05] complex area for analysis in terms of
[01:09:08] moving forward with our economy, what it
[01:09:11] does and does not do. But I think it's
[01:09:14] pretty safe to say that it will
[01:09:15] massively increase productivity and
[01:09:18] whatever nation actually masters it uh
[01:09:21] is going to actually lead the next
[01:09:24] century. So that's the geostrategic
[01:09:27] economic reality of what's going on. Now
[01:09:32] are all of these things really being
[01:09:34] cool in terms of of you know essentially
[01:09:37] making sure that they don't uh eat up
[01:09:40] everything? Trump has made a a very
[01:09:42] decent point. I don't want them on the
[01:09:45] electrical grid. They're going to build
[01:09:47] them and they're going to create their
[01:09:49] own electrical sources and we're going
[01:09:51] to monitor the thing because the grid
[01:09:54] can't handle literally in its present
[01:09:57] state. We're modernizing it, but it
[01:09:59] can't handle uh you know what is about
[01:10:02] to happen in terms of the massive amount
[01:10:04] of power we actually need to run these
[01:10:07] things. uh obviously in an area uh you
[01:10:11] know the the farmland question, the use
[01:10:14] of land questions, everything else.
[01:10:16] what's going on um is an effort to turn
[01:10:20] all of this over to localities as part
[01:10:23] of a overall campaign against AI in my
[01:10:28] view uh to solve to basically say to you
[01:10:32] we're going to make these things
[01:10:33] environmentally secure but it'll be like
[01:10:36] every project that goes on in California
[01:10:39] it's not going to get done all right
[01:10:42] we're going to put so many impediments
[01:10:43] in the place of these things being built
[01:10:46] that it doesn't get done. Uh because
[01:10:49] people really don't want to handle the
[01:10:51] challenge of figuring out what happens
[01:10:54] in an economy where we give up a lot of
[01:10:57] jobs
[01:10:59] that are just make work jobs to be
[01:11:01] blunt. Um and AI is not doing that.
[01:11:05] Okay. What happens?
[01:11:07] >> Let me just say I I totally agree with
[01:11:09] your hypothesis. It's not just that the
[01:11:11] ro people I could pull up a video
[01:11:13] robotics like so it's going to be AI
[01:11:16] plus this robotics thing that's
[01:11:18] literally about to crash on everyone's
[01:11:21] reality. It's almost here really.
[01:11:24] So you know now now we're now we're I
[01:11:27] mean if you step into a Tesla which you
[01:11:29] know I did the other day you feel like
[01:11:32] you're in a different century. Okay. And
[01:11:35] that's a good feeling. Uh it's it's it's
[01:11:38] what we Americans are all about. We're
[01:11:40] about the always smashing through the
[01:11:43] next frontier of science and technology
[01:11:46] and figuring out essentially how do we
[01:11:50] handle any displacement which occurs
[01:11:52] through that. Uh generally what happens
[01:11:55] in history folks is that when new
[01:11:57] technologies come in there's always a
[01:12:00] clamor that says it's going to ruin
[01:12:02] everything. All right? Nobody's going to
[01:12:04] be able to work. It'll all be crazy. the
[01:12:06] machines are going to run things. Uh,
[01:12:09] you know, this picture is painted of
[01:12:10] this completely dystopian reality. I'm
[01:12:14] not saying that Silicon Valley has done
[01:12:16] the best job here in actually coming out
[01:12:18] and reassuring people what this is all
[01:12:21] about. Uh, and I think they need to do a
[01:12:23] better job at it. But I really am quite
[01:12:27] suspicious of all of the things which
[01:12:29] are going on since the primary other
[01:12:32] power in the world that wants to
[01:12:34] supersede us in this area is China. And
[01:12:38] as I said before, whoever masters this
[01:12:41] technology and associated technologies
[01:12:44] of the future, including nuclear power
[01:12:46] and fusion power, is going to lead the
[01:12:48] world. That's reality. So that's how
[01:12:52] I'll start. I'm sure Susan has a much
[01:12:55] better feel for what's going on locally
[01:12:57] than I do. I live in the power in the
[01:13:01] data center universe of the world. Every
[01:13:04] inch of Lowden County is covered with
[01:13:07] data centers at this point. And I tell
[01:13:08] you, uh, we still have electricity and
[01:13:11] we still have water. So, somehow that's
[01:13:12] working out.
[01:13:15] But I will add that, you know, if if
[01:13:18] especially you're in a particularly
[01:13:20] green state like I happen to be in, and
[01:13:24] I don't mean that we've got a lot of
[01:13:25] force, which we do here in Michigan, but
[01:13:27] run by lunatic left-wing Democrats,
[01:13:31] uh, who want to suppress modern energy
[01:13:36] development and so on, um, you're going
[01:13:39] to have a problem because not all of
[01:13:41] these data centers that there's there's
[01:13:43] a cut off in terms of the size of a data
[01:13:45] center that has to provide its own its
[01:13:48] own energy uh and so on. So you get
[01:13:51] below a certain size they can have an
[01:13:54] impact in an area where you have in a
[01:13:57] state where you don't have enough energy
[01:14:00] uh where your energy is already
[01:14:02] extremely expensive because the local
[01:14:04] energy company under the governor and
[01:14:06] her regime went woke and green and
[01:14:10] haven't built any nuclear power. So you
[01:14:13] the one aspect of the data centers that
[01:14:16] has to be addressed is adequate energy
[01:14:19] supply. Clearly this administration is
[01:14:22] doing that on a national basis but that
[01:14:25] doesn't mean it's you know seeped down
[01:14:28] into every state. So there are
[01:14:29] dislocations. There's other questions
[01:14:32] too. Why not just build them on
[01:14:33] brownfields? Why not build them on
[01:14:35] existing you know abandoned industrial
[01:14:38] sites as opposed to grabbing up
[01:14:41] farmland? I mean there there are
[01:14:42] legitimate questions but but you're
[01:14:44] going to have we're going to have to
[01:14:45] which is always the case with something
[01:14:48] new which means you have to have sane
[01:14:50] national leadership you have to have
[01:14:52] sane state leadership uh and you
[01:14:55] actually have to have an educated
[01:14:56] citizenry which understands what the
[01:14:59] real necessity for this is and then can
[01:15:03] look at what legitimate real local
[01:15:06] concerns are and work through that
[01:15:08] process. But from the standpoint of the
[01:15:11] fact that this is the technology of the
[01:15:13] future and what Barbara just said, I
[01:15:16] didn't know. But I'm going to pull on
[01:15:17] that string a little bit more in terms
[01:15:19] of oh gosh, because if people noticed, I
[01:15:23] mean, some of some of those questions
[01:15:25] were from people who are in areas where
[01:15:27] this is happening. But they're they're
[01:15:29] saying the OP talking in terms of the
[01:15:31] concern and the opposition almost
[01:15:34] similarly worded which does suggest to
[01:15:38] me that there is an orchestrated
[01:15:39] campaign uh which really as as the first
[01:15:43] question Jackie said gosh nobody cared
[01:15:45] when the solar panels took over the
[01:15:47] farmlands right now everybody's
[01:15:50] concerned about data centers so you know
[01:15:54] it's not a you know one you know it's
[01:15:57] not a binary choice from the standpoint
[01:16:00] of oh, we need them. Oh, we can't
[01:16:02] possibly have them. It's here's the
[01:16:05] world that you live in. This is the new
[01:16:07] technology. China and the race is
[01:16:11] between the United States and China at
[01:16:13] this point. We cannot seed the field to
[01:16:15] it. And that's why I think the
[01:16:17] administration is trying to come up with
[01:16:20] national policies so that you can deal
[01:16:23] with this in a rational way which is not
[01:16:26] detrimental to local communities.
[01:16:31] >> Thank you very much Barbara and Susan. I
[01:16:34] just want to spend a few seconds here
[01:16:36] because I think the issue of robotics
[01:16:40] uh is literally about to hit and people
[01:16:42] are freaking out. So, I just want to
[01:16:44] play here just a few seconds of um a
[01:16:49] company's demo called Boston Dynamics.
[01:16:52] Uh they are arguably the absolute world
[01:16:55] leaders in robotics technology and I
[01:16:59] want to give everyone a sense of where
[01:17:02] it is right now.
[01:17:42] All right. And just one more here. I'm
[01:17:46] going to pick one of these. They
[01:17:47] supposed I haven't even seen these one
[01:17:49] here. Let's just pick football school.
[01:18:00] Oh la,
[01:18:14] >> dude. That's a shot.
[01:18:21] >> So guys,
[01:18:22] >> except that's not football. That's
[01:18:24] soccer. Yeah, I
[01:18:26] I'm sorry. Just seeing it on screen.
[01:18:28] Also, it's awesome that we Whoops.
[01:18:31] Sorry. Let me turn this off. It's just
[01:18:34] uh I also I had to mind the FIFA World
[01:18:37] Cup, which is pretty amazing. That's
[01:18:38] going to be happening on the 250th
[01:18:40] anniversary of the United States. So, I
[01:18:43] want I wanted to play that, guys. You
[01:18:45] have to remember Elon Musk is in this
[01:18:47] game, too. The Optimus robots, I think
[01:18:50] they already reconfig they're
[01:18:51] reconfiguring some of their factories to
[01:18:53] be mass-producing these things. So, this
[01:18:55] is going to be taking a lot of the
[01:18:57] makework jobs coming very soon.
[01:19:01] Okay. Any final thoughts on this,
[01:19:02] Barbara, Susan, before we move on here?
[01:19:06] No, we got to we got to actually think
[01:19:08] it through. We got to basically we have
[01:19:10] a shortage of labor. All right. We've
[01:19:12] we've taken all of the uh I'll be blunt
[01:19:16] slave labor out of the country uh for
[01:19:18] the most part uh by shutting down the
[01:19:21] border. Um and now we have a real
[01:19:23] shortage of labor. Uh that can partially
[01:19:26] be solved by uh this type of robotics.
[01:19:30] But I I think it's really critical what
[01:19:32] the administration is also doing in
[01:19:34] shifting education away from uh crazy
[01:19:39] college degrees and in things like
[01:19:41] feminism
[01:19:43] uh and actually uh you know creating the
[01:19:46] basis of of uh you know trades that they
[01:19:49] just put out a huge report saying that
[01:19:52] you know right now this generation
[01:19:54] coming up is shifting into the trades
[01:19:57] and that's good. That's that's
[01:19:59] essentially the adjustment which we need
[01:20:02] to make in the in the workforce. Uh and
[01:20:05] the trades will be very much you out
[01:20:08] there eventually controlling your own
[01:20:10] robots uh to uh produce things to do uh
[01:20:14] anything that you want them to do. Uh
[01:20:17] but it's going to increase product
[01:20:19] productivity enormously. And it's not
[01:20:22] going to be a situation where you just
[01:20:24] go out and sit on a couch somewhere and
[01:20:27] watch endless amounts of video games or
[01:20:29] TV. The whole idea here is to make work
[01:20:34] the work of creativity and the mind
[01:20:37] which is what you know God actually
[01:20:39] created us to do. So the dignity of
[01:20:42] work, the pope shouldn't worry about
[01:20:44] that because the dignity of work is
[01:20:46] going to be put on a much higher level.
[01:20:48] He just did a whole encyclical on this
[01:20:51] which is a topic of discussion. I think
[01:20:52] it's a very useful jumping off point uh
[01:20:56] to begin to think through uh the
[01:20:58] implications of this revolution we're
[01:21:01] already going through. Yeah. And I'll
[01:21:04] also mention I mean the the skilled
[01:21:06] trades and especially machine tooling is
[01:21:08] one of the places where you do see the
[01:21:10] intersection of AI um and the skilled
[01:21:14] trades because a skilled tradesman who
[01:21:17] actually knows how to use AI. I mean but
[01:21:20] the skilled tradesman is still you know
[01:21:22] the critical question is how do you get
[01:21:24] a new idea out of somebody's mind and
[01:21:28] put it into a machine tool so that it
[01:21:30] can create a new machine new ideas
[01:21:33] that's where AI will never be able to do
[01:21:36] it the the the point of the new idea and
[01:21:40] then communicating that new idea to
[01:21:42] another human mind which then figures
[01:21:44] out how do I make a machine tool to do
[01:21:47] this is something which is absolutely
[01:21:50] unique to the human being. But at that
[01:21:52] point, you can then once once you've
[01:21:55] taken that creative germ and you've
[01:21:57] figured it out and then you've got to
[01:21:59] create an extremely complex machine tool
[01:22:02] to do this new kind of thing that you've
[01:22:05] figured out. Um, you know, that that can
[01:22:08] increase your productivity enormously.
[01:22:10] Uh, I was at a recent political event
[01:22:13] here where one of the candidates said,
[01:22:15] "A a skilled machinist who knows how to
[01:22:18] use AI, they're still a machinist, they
[01:22:21] just know how to use AI, can pull down
[01:22:24] over $200,000 a year." And believe me,
[01:22:27] they did not go to a four-year liberal
[01:22:29] arts college and come out with a quarter
[01:22:31] of a million dollars in debt. They
[01:22:34] probably came right out of a trade
[01:22:35] school with no debt and went to work.
[01:22:40] Somebody uh let me just I want to
[01:22:42] clarify something because somebody
[01:22:43] actually correctly pointed out that uh
[01:22:47] in terms of public ownership of Boston
[01:22:50] Dynamics, it is primarily owned by Soft
[01:22:54] Bank which is a Japanese company and
[01:22:57] they have other international investors
[01:23:00] but that company is under the craziest
[01:23:03] export controls. So companies can't just
[01:23:06] own Boston Dynamics and export the tech.
[01:23:09] The the the whole issue of Boston
[01:23:11] Dynamics people don't talk about, but
[01:23:12] that company is like heavily export
[01:23:15] controlled and all of their robotics
[01:23:18] tech is developed inhouse in the United
[01:23:20] States.
[01:23:22] And as far as I know, we're like the
[01:23:26] their products that they produce have
[01:23:27] only been, you know, have only come out
[01:23:29] of Boston Dynamics. I don't think
[01:23:31] anyone's like made technology that was
[01:23:34] based on their tech in a different
[01:23:36] product. I don't I don't think that's
[01:23:38] happened yet. So yes, maybe Boston
[01:23:40] Dynamics technically is owned by this
[01:23:42] international consortium, right? Owned
[01:23:45] by Japanese, owned by other Asian
[01:23:47] countries, but the tech is like
[01:23:49] definitely export controlled. So it's
[01:23:51] def you go follow those guys, you should
[01:23:53] be rooting for them because if anyone's
[01:23:55] going to beat the Chinese and robotics,
[01:23:57] it's probably going to be them at the
[01:23:59] moment.
[01:24:00] in terms of general purpose robotics.
[01:24:04] Okay. U so I'm gonna So first off, thank
[01:24:07] you everyone for tuning in. Please hit
[01:24:09] the like button if you haven't yet
[01:24:10] already on x.com. Please give us a share
[01:24:13] if you've been enjoying this. Um and
[01:24:15] just to remind everyone, we do have a
[01:24:16] free newsletter. The links in the
[01:24:18] description.
[01:24:19] Okay, let's go to
[01:24:23] what's going on in the Senate and the
[01:24:25] Save America Act because, you know, the
[01:24:27] news cycle is just constantly pummeling
[01:24:30] your brain and there's actually really
[01:24:32] important stuff that happens like weeks
[01:24:34] ago that like get lost in the news
[01:24:37] cycle. So, let's go back to this issue
[01:24:40] here.
[01:24:42] So, first, thank you, Jack. may be off
[01:24:45] topic, but what can be done with Thoon
[01:24:47] and his blatant disregard for what the
[01:24:50] American people want? Thank you for your
[01:24:52] insight on these topics and I wish you
[01:24:54] would run
[01:24:57] news update. Okay. And then uh thank you
[01:24:59] Jack. And then second one is Robert,
[01:25:02] what is the real reason John Thun
[01:25:05] refuses to pass the Save America Act?
[01:25:14] Well, you just saw what we can do about
[01:25:17] thun uh with the election results in
[01:25:20] Texas. Uh and believe me, that sent a
[01:25:24] bolt of lightning through the United
[01:25:26] States Senate. Look, these guys are
[01:25:29] completely out of touch with America who
[01:25:31] are in the Senate um and have been. John
[01:25:35] Thun is a protege of Mitch McConnell. uh
[01:25:39] he is in what everybody lovingly refers
[01:25:41] to as the rhino grouping within the
[01:25:44] Senate, which while pledging adherence
[01:25:47] to Donald Trump, uh really thinks that
[01:25:51] uh if you run on Trump's program, you're
[01:25:54] going to lose because why? Well, because
[01:25:57] of the polling on Trump and all of the
[01:26:00] things we say about him, etc. That just
[01:26:03] got completely disproven by the election
[01:26:06] results. Um, so what can be done? You
[01:26:10] can turn out for the midterms and you
[01:26:13] can basically uh cast a resounding vote
[01:26:16] for Republicans. Hold your nose on the
[01:26:19] rhinos because what that means is that
[01:26:23] everybody is predicting at this point
[01:26:26] that the Senate and the House are going
[01:26:28] to be taken by the Democrats. That's the
[01:26:30] establishment view and that's what's
[01:26:32] shaping all of this legislation at this
[01:26:35] point.
[01:26:36] If you turn out in the midterms and you
[01:26:39] vote for those people the president has
[01:26:41] endorsed and you vote for them
[01:26:43] overwhelmingly,
[01:26:45] John Thun isn't stupid.
[01:26:48] Washington will get the message. We have
[01:26:51] been wrong. We're screwed. Well, I'm not
[01:26:53] up for election at this point, but the
[01:26:56] Senate and everything in it is going to
[01:26:58] lose its shirt if we don't start acting
[01:27:01] on behalf of the American people. And I
[01:27:04] think that's what the Texas results,
[01:27:06] that's what the Kentucky results, that's
[01:27:08] what every result is showing. We hate
[01:27:11] you guys. Don't even pretend that we
[01:27:14] like you. That's what the American
[01:27:16] people are saying to the United States
[01:27:17] Senate. You haven't done a damn thing
[01:27:20] really, except do what the president
[01:27:22] wanted by passing the big beautiful
[01:27:24] bill. But other than that, you're
[01:27:27] ridiculous. You know, you think you're
[01:27:29] out there as the big independent branch
[01:27:32] subverting everything the president is
[01:27:34] doing, not just the Save America Act,
[01:27:36] his appointments, everything else. And
[01:27:40] you can send a huge message by voting
[01:27:44] for the Trump endorsed candidates
[01:27:46] overwhelmingly in the midterms. You
[01:27:50] already sent a huge message from Texas,
[01:27:52] which, believe me, is going to start
[01:27:54] changing dynamics.
[01:27:56] That's the same thing we saw in November
[01:27:58] of 2024.
[01:28:00] How do you think the big beautiful bill
[01:28:02] got passed? Didn't get passed because
[01:28:04] the rhinos wanted it. It got passed
[01:28:07] because they said, "Holy cow, we're
[01:28:09] going to lose the midterms totally. We
[01:28:11] won't have any power. We'll be in the
[01:28:13] opposition in Washington." Um, and we
[01:28:16] want to and and we'll do what the
[01:28:17] president says at this point because
[01:28:19] that's what the people clearly express
[01:28:21] by that mandate. Now the media drive,
[01:28:25] the propaganda, all that other stuff has
[01:28:27] been set up to take its toll and the
[01:28:30] midterms are the critical inflection
[01:28:32] point for us. Fixing
[01:28:35] the possibility of voter fraud, we did
[01:28:38] it already once in November, which we
[01:28:42] have to keep reminding people. And we
[01:28:44] did it by expanding the Trump coalition
[01:28:47] widely uh and creating the basis to
[01:28:50] actually create a mandate. That's the
[01:28:52] head that's the job ahead of us for the
[01:28:54] midterms. Uh so I think that's the story
[01:28:57] there. Susan may have other things to
[01:28:59] add.
[01:29:00] >> Yeah, Adam, I want to share my screen
[01:29:06] >> because I I I did a graph. Um no,
[01:29:12] >> there we go. Um because before you had
[01:29:15] this overwhelming vote for Paxton
[01:29:17] defeating Cornin yesterday, which I
[01:29:19] think has sent, as Barbara just said,
[01:29:21] electroshock through the rhinos in the
[01:29:24] Senate. Uh the other big one was Thomas
[01:29:26] Massie getting defeated in the primary.
[01:29:29] And of course, what was all the cybar
[01:29:31] propaganda around that? The cybar
[01:29:33] propaganda around that was, oh, Israel
[01:29:35] came in and bought this election and
[01:29:37] defeated Thomas Massie. So I, you know,
[01:29:40] I I thought that was a little absurd. um
[01:29:43] given the composition of the people in
[01:29:45] his district. So I created this and if
[01:29:48] you look at this, this is the votes.
[01:29:49] Massie was primared in the last four
[01:29:52] elections. Um but if you look at this,
[01:29:54] Massie is the blue and his opponent is
[01:29:57] they were obviously different opponents
[01:29:59] is the red. But look at what was
[01:30:01] happening 2020, 2022, 2024. This is
[01:30:06] before quote huge amounts of Apac money
[01:30:09] and Miriam Adlesen and all the rest of
[01:30:11] this was pumped in there. He was losing
[01:30:14] support. His vote totals were going
[01:30:17] down. He didn't have a serious
[01:30:19] challenger in them, but he was losing
[01:30:21] support and his vote totals were going
[01:30:23] down because people saw him as
[01:30:26] obstructing
[01:30:28] Donald Trump. His vote totals were okay
[01:30:30] in 2020 because he kept voting against
[01:30:32] Obama. Uh he kept voting against the
[01:30:35] Biden policies. You know, Mr. No. Well,
[01:30:37] that's fine. What's that old st saying?
[01:30:39] A stop clock is right half the time. You
[01:30:42] know, when you're voting against crazy
[01:30:44] Democrats, cool. But what happens when
[01:30:46] you get somebody who's doing something
[01:30:48] wants to use your government
[01:30:50] productively, which is what the
[01:30:51] president of the United States is doing,
[01:30:53] and you keep voting against it because
[01:30:56] of your libertarian ideology, which says
[01:30:58] all government is bad, and the magic of
[01:31:00] the free markets, which just means
[01:31:02] British money is good. Right? So, his
[01:31:05] vote totals were going down
[01:31:08] consistently.
[01:31:10] And then you get this race where he had
[01:31:12] a ton of money. His opponent had 17
[01:31:14] million. He had 13 million. So you you
[01:31:18] you know he he boosted his a little bit.
[01:31:21] But look at this. These are all new
[01:31:23] voters who came to the polls to vote for
[01:31:26] Donald Trump. That's what that vote was.
[01:31:30] Believe me, his, you know, they they
[01:31:32] weren't going in and voting saying, you
[01:31:34] know, I support BB Netanyahu. they were
[01:31:36] voting for the candidate that Donald
[01:31:38] Trump said I want him because he will be
[01:31:41] loyal to me. So, and I think that
[01:31:44] question of increasing the voter
[01:31:47] turnout, that's extremely important
[01:31:51] because that is how we do defeat the um
[01:31:56] whatever amount of vote fraud capability
[01:31:59] is still going to be in place. you know,
[01:32:03] if by some, you know, continuing
[01:32:06] political pressure with maybe a little
[01:32:08] bit of miracle, we get the say back
[01:32:10] through. I mean, we'll have to see. As
[01:32:11] Barbara said, it's a little different
[01:32:13] climate in the Senate as of Wednesday,
[01:32:17] uh, after Cornin's massive defeat
[01:32:19] despite the fact that he had the entire
[01:32:21] Senate establishment behind him. There
[01:32:24] might be a little bit of a different
[01:32:25] climate. This may be the time to go back
[01:32:27] to the drawing board and up the ante in
[01:32:30] terms of the Senate. But my attitude is
[01:32:33] always whatever the state of play is,
[01:32:36] whether we make any breakthroughs on the
[01:32:39] election integrity front or not, we
[01:32:42] still have to win. And we have to win by
[01:32:45] increasing the voter turnout. And that
[01:32:47] means going to the bluecollar workers,
[01:32:50] going to the independents and bringing
[01:32:52] this new reality to them. Um, Adam can I
[01:32:57] I'm gonna go to the um boot camp for a
[01:33:01] or our slideshow. I mean our our
[01:33:03] halfpage flyer for a minute.
[01:33:05] >> Susan, and you know what? Before you do,
[01:33:07] let me let me pull up a super chat right
[01:33:10] now because something came in and I want
[01:33:12] to answer this question. So, first off,
[01:33:14] thank you very much, Ray Butler,
[01:33:16] >> for your very generous super chat. He
[01:33:19] says, "I love what you are doing for us
[01:33:21] all. I'm a I'm in the mechanic field of
[01:33:24] the trades for 50 years. Want to help
[01:33:27] you guys spread the word. Thanks again.
[01:33:30] So, yeah, this is this is a section I
[01:33:32] was I was about to. So, Susan's taking
[01:33:34] taking the words. This is going to be
[01:33:36] two things. It's going to be this flyer
[01:33:38] plus our midterm boot camp. So, I hope
[01:33:40] this answers your question right here.
[01:33:41] But also while I'm doing this, Adam, can
[01:33:43] you pull up that uh other clip from the
[01:33:46] cabinet meeting which was on uh America
[01:33:49] being it was the middle two.
[01:33:53] I'll get to that in a minute. Um because
[01:33:55] I think it's going to bolster this
[01:33:57] point. Uh Rey to thank you very much.
[01:34:00] Uh, and I saw a lot of other people in
[01:34:02] the chat talking about how their kid
[01:34:04] just went to a trade school and came out
[01:34:06] after 17 weeks with a license and
[01:34:08] immediately got a job and so on. You
[01:34:10] know, this is the new future. Um, and uh
[01:34:14] and and that is what we have to
[01:34:16] communicate in the midterms
[01:34:19] making the United States a productive
[01:34:22] manufacturing superpower again which is
[01:34:24] actually progressing in the real world.
[01:34:27] So the intervention of our political
[01:34:30] action committee arm Prometheian pack
[01:34:34] into the midterms is this and before I
[01:34:37] describe this we have Prometheian action
[01:34:40] which is our policy arm which hosts
[01:34:42] these shows. We have our political
[01:34:45] action committee of which Barbara Boyd
[01:34:47] is the treasurer which is explicitly
[01:34:49] designed to intervene into
[01:34:53] the federal election process here in the
[01:34:55] United States. So, Prometheian PAC has
[01:34:57] designed this half-page flyer. This is
[01:35:00] the first side of it. Uh, where we make
[01:35:03] clear to people that the president is
[01:35:06] indeed carrying out a manufacturing
[01:35:08] revolution. Oh, wait a minute. There's
[01:35:10] the second side. And here's the second
[01:35:12] side. This is about five months old. And
[01:35:15] in fact, I'm in the middle of designing
[01:35:16] a new flyer right now because we while
[01:35:19] this one will continue to circulate, we
[01:35:21] want to update what this administration
[01:35:23] has already done. But this was a
[01:35:25] snapshot from about four months ago of
[01:35:28] some of the breakthroughs that are
[01:35:30] already taking place in terms of
[01:35:32] reviving our manufacturing in the United
[01:35:35] States. Our energy independence
[01:35:38] um you know uh new facilities for
[01:35:41] minerals processing and other things
[01:35:44] that we haven't seen new facilities in
[01:35:46] 50 or 70 years. These are gen this is a
[01:35:49] multi-generational change in the United
[01:35:52] States and this is what we have to bring
[01:35:54] in to the midterm elections. Now we also
[01:35:57] conduct what we call the midterm boot
[01:35:59] camp. I'm not sure where things are in
[01:36:02] my slideshow, so I'm just going to stay
[01:36:05] where I was. Um we conduct a midterm
[01:36:08] boot camp. Um there we go. Adam's
[01:36:11] pulling that up. And uh every every
[01:36:14] other Monday, the next one is June 1st,
[01:36:17] uh Adam is showing you where you can
[01:36:19] sign up for the midterm boot camps.
[01:36:21] These are national Zoom discussions with
[01:36:23] activists all over the country. The last
[01:36:26] one we had, and these are really great
[01:36:28] because we're interacting with people
[01:36:30] who are who are organizing, who are
[01:36:32] trying to take Donald Trump's ideas into
[01:36:35] the midterm process. And somebody came
[01:36:37] up with a really great turn of phrase in
[01:36:40] our last boot camp. They said, "I think
[01:36:42] we should talk about the blue state
[01:36:44] blues." And this is going to be on our
[01:36:47] next halfpage flyer because while Trump
[01:36:49] is unleashing this, and you see it in
[01:36:52] North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
[01:36:55] Texas, Arizona, the blue states are
[01:36:58] sitting there withering. I was
[01:37:00] mentioning Michigan earlier. We have no
[01:37:02] energy. We have no investment. We have
[01:37:04] no nothing because we have lunatics.
[01:37:07] Those are the blue state blues where the
[01:37:10] the manufacturing boom is being passed
[01:37:13] by. So we're going to integrate that
[01:37:15] into the next halfpage flyer uh that we
[01:37:18] actually do. But what we have to do is
[01:37:20] communicate to people there is a
[01:37:22] revolution going on. There is a change
[01:37:25] in the national economic identity of
[01:37:28] this country of being a nation of
[01:37:30] consumers and spectators and losers to a
[01:37:35] nation of producers and builders and
[01:37:37] makers. And this is something that the
[01:37:40] uh head of the Small Business
[01:37:41] Administration addressed yesterday in
[01:37:43] the cabinet meeting. Adam, can you pull
[01:37:45] that up? I thought it was pretty pretty
[01:37:47] to pretty much
[01:37:48] >> Which one? The first one or the second
[01:37:50] one?
[01:37:50] >> The second one.
[01:37:52] Well, both 2 A and 2 B. There's there's
[01:37:55] two together.
[01:37:57] >> All right. I'll have to indiv.
[01:38:00] >> Here's the first one.
[01:38:04] >> Mr. President, you have made us a nation
[01:38:06] of builders again. You're leading us to
[01:38:08] the greatest economy that the world has
[01:38:10] ever known. And I see that every week as
[01:38:12] I travel this country, main streets
[01:38:14] across dozens of states, uh, from Alaska
[01:38:17] to Maine. I've been in many of those
[01:38:19] states two or three times. Uh, I hear it
[01:38:21] everywhere I go. Please thank the
[01:38:23] president for putting us back on track.
[01:38:26] They thank you. They love you. They want
[01:38:29] more of what we're doing. Tax cuts,
[01:38:31] deregulation, fair trade, energy
[01:38:34] dominance. Small businesses are
[01:38:36] springloaded. And we see that in the
[01:38:38] jobs numbers. In the last two months
[01:38:39] alone, we've created over 300,000
[01:38:42] private sector jobs uh in this country.
[01:38:45] Most jobs are created by small
[01:38:47] businesses, two out of three. And small
[01:38:49] businesses, as you know, make up 99% of
[01:38:51] all businesses in this country and
[01:38:53] account for half of our GDP. So when
[01:38:55] that part of the economy is finally
[01:38:57] working again, but then just back to
[01:38:58] small businesses, we have record
[01:39:00] business formation in this country.
[01:39:02] That's another story that the media
[01:39:03] won't tell you. Over half a million
[01:39:05] businesses on average a month this year.
[01:39:08] So, it's not just record people working,
[01:39:10] strong job creation, business formation
[01:39:13] at all-time records in this country, but
[01:39:15] we have manufacturing expansion, four
[01:39:17] consecutive months. That means that's a
[01:39:19] leading indicator, meaning that we have
[01:39:22] uh expansion coming. Uh another story
[01:39:24] the media won't tell you, 98% of all
[01:39:26] manufacturers are small businesses. They
[01:39:28] 75% of our defense industrial base is
[01:39:31] small business. Uh they're our main
[01:39:33] exporters. And so America first, fair
[01:39:36] trade, deregulation, tax cuts, and
[01:39:39] energy dominance is helping workers on
[01:39:41] Main Street.
[01:39:43] I mean, I don't know if you caught that.
[01:39:44] She said half a million new business
[01:39:46] startups per month this year. Per month,
[01:39:52] right? And and as she pointed out, a lot
[01:39:54] of this is manufacturing. Um, you know,
[01:39:58] a huge percentage of our manufacturing
[01:40:00] base is the small businesses, starting
[01:40:02] with the machine tool shops. Um, so this
[01:40:04] is what's happening and and this is this
[01:40:07] is the the future and and it's going to
[01:40:10] you it's going to accelerate as the new
[01:40:12] facilities come online. Earlier Trump
[01:40:14] talked about the uh new construction
[01:40:18] jobs uh of of constructing manufacturing
[01:40:22] facilities. Well, a lot of them aren't
[01:40:24] online yet. So, the building trades guys
[01:40:27] are working, but you know, maybe the UAW
[01:40:29] or the steel workers or whatever, they
[01:40:31] don't have the jobs yet because they
[01:40:32] haven't turned the switch on the
[01:40:34] factory. But it's coming. It's coming.
[01:40:37] And this is what we have to communicate
[01:40:38] to people uh for the midterm elections.
[01:40:41] And that's how you're going to get a
[01:40:42] better class of Senate and a better
[01:40:44] class of Congress.
[01:40:47] >> Did you want me to play the second clip
[01:40:48] here?
[01:40:49] >> Uh, no, that was it. You you they they
[01:40:51] they ended up merging together. That was
[01:40:54] fine.
[01:40:54] >> Okay.
[01:40:56] Yeah. I just wanted to comment on what
[01:40:58] you were saying about the small shops.
[01:41:00] So, there is a bunch of small shops. So,
[01:41:04] there's been kind of a manufacturing
[01:41:07] explosion on the amount of YouTube small
[01:41:10] shop manufacturing channels where people
[01:41:13] are showing you the insides of their
[01:41:16] manufacturing operations. There's also a
[01:41:19] massive explosion in additive
[01:41:21] manufacturing.
[01:41:23] Right? Traditional CNC machine.
[01:41:25] Traditional machining is you take you
[01:41:27] start with something big and then you
[01:41:28] subtract material from the part. Right?
[01:41:32] That's traditional machining CNC tile
[01:41:35] lathe operations. But with additive
[01:41:37] manufacturing now uh they can they can
[01:41:40] print metals. That's an actual thing.
[01:41:43] And you can buy right as an individual
[01:41:46] if you have the motivation and the skill
[01:41:48] and understanding you can now buy these
[01:41:51] semi-industrial machines and make parts
[01:41:53] for various other operations. So this is
[01:41:56] this is literally happening on YouTube.
[01:41:59] I'm already seeing some of these
[01:42:00] channels in my in my feed.
[01:42:04] Okay. Oh wow. I totally forgot I forgot
[01:42:06] my train of thought. Okay. Luckily I
[01:42:08] took notes here. So, um, let me let me
[01:42:11] pull up my Q&A questions here.
[01:42:15] All right. So, the next question here,
[01:42:17] oh, yes, is going to be on the Fed. And
[01:42:20] I wanted to take a question that came in
[01:42:23] very early in the discussion, and I'm
[01:42:26] going to group it in with um other
[01:42:29] questions on the Breton Woods and the
[01:42:31] Fed. So, thank you, Lee, for waiting. If
[01:42:33] you're still watching with us, I did
[01:42:36] want to take this question. I just knew
[01:42:37] it was going to come later in the show.
[01:42:39] So Lee Lee Herring says, "Hey guys,
[01:42:42] thank you for keeping me sane. Any word
[01:42:44] on the Fed being dismantled? Maybe
[01:42:47] before the fourth."
[01:42:49] So I don't I don't know about before the
[01:42:51] fourth, but let me pull up these other
[01:42:54] questions that I want to take along with
[01:42:55] it here. Okay, that'd be number 12.
[01:43:00] Okay, so these next four questions.
[01:43:02] Whoops.
[01:43:04] Here we go. There we go. So, Serena
[01:43:07] asks, "Can you explain to us what the
[01:43:09] Breton Woods is?" I think a lot of
[01:43:12] people had that question. Thank you,
[01:43:13] Serena. And then Greg says, "Why did
[01:43:16] Nixon take us off the US gold standard?"
[01:43:18] So, basically asking, "Why did Nixon
[01:43:20] take us off the Bretton Woods
[01:43:22] agreement?" So, the gold standard
[01:43:23] agreements. Okay. Uh, Greg also says,
[01:43:26] "Do you think President Trump will put
[01:43:28] the dollar back on the gold standard
[01:43:31] and tell us more about the dollar being
[01:43:34] pegged to gold, please?" And I think
[01:43:37] this question here about the connection
[01:43:40] to a gold standard,
[01:43:43] right? Because we're not talking about a
[01:43:44] straight like I think we're we're
[01:43:47] talking about, excuse me, a gold
[01:43:48] reserve, excuse me, misspoke. We're
[01:43:50] talking about a gold reserve system and
[01:43:53] the potentiality of what a new Fed might
[01:43:57] look like.
[01:43:59] Barbara and Susan, your thoughts?
[01:44:03] Well, it's very clear that that Kevin
[01:44:05] Walsh's mission is to scale back the
[01:44:08] Fed. In other words, it's it's gotten
[01:44:12] huge in terms of what it's trying to do.
[01:44:14] you can make the argument that it's
[01:44:16] actually been running the economy uh
[01:44:18] which was even the the the as a British
[01:44:22] invention which we never had it before
[01:44:24] you know 1913
[01:44:26] uh it wasn't supposed to just run the
[01:44:28] entire economy uh and so what you've got
[01:44:33] right now is a determined effort to
[01:44:35] scale it back uh to bring it back to you
[01:44:39] know probably the issue of what happens
[01:44:42] with interest rates And I think the
[01:44:44] Trump administration is generally
[01:44:46] opposed to the notion that it has any uh
[01:44:50] you know, Congress has given it the
[01:44:52] authority for full employment under
[01:44:54] Humphrey Hawkins. Uh but I don't think
[01:44:56] the Trump administration necessarily
[01:44:58] agrees with that. Uh the Trump
[01:45:00] administration has taken care of the uh
[01:45:03] employment side of the equation. What's
[01:45:06] far more interesting uh is what's
[01:45:08] happening with subordinating the Fed to
[01:45:11] the Treasury Department uh which is
[01:45:14] really what a lot of people have called
[01:45:15] for for years uh and putting the
[01:45:18] responsibility for uh this right back
[01:45:22] into uh the executive uh in a certain
[01:45:25] way uh to uh run uh the equivalent of
[01:45:30] what you know was Hamilton's national
[01:45:32] bank. His idea was let's have a national
[01:45:36] bank or you know areas of capital
[01:45:39] investment uh you know a sovereign
[01:45:42] wealth fund is another form of the same
[01:45:44] idea where it has no other purpose than
[01:45:48] to invest in the fundamental side of the
[01:45:51] physical economy. People been talking
[01:45:53] about water in their area for example.
[01:45:57] We have a huge deficit in water
[01:45:59] infrastructure in this country. If you
[01:46:02] actually have a national infrastructure
[01:46:05] type of purpose uh in the government,
[01:46:08] which is different than all the
[01:46:09] craziness around the Green New Deal and
[01:46:11] all this other crap, uh we can solve the
[01:46:14] water problem. Uh there's no there's no
[01:46:16] reason for it to exist. So, what's
[01:46:20] happening is gradual. All right? They're
[01:46:22] not going to do it right away because
[01:46:24] you you're in a a very tense situation
[01:46:28] where you have all sorts of powers
[01:46:31] trying to uh crash the economy frankly
[01:46:34] from the standpoint of the city of
[01:46:35] London making Trump fail. Uh and you
[01:46:39] know what what is being done here is a
[01:46:41] path through to the future. But you can
[01:46:44] see the path clearly. Uh and it's and
[01:46:48] it's big politics as I said in in my
[01:46:51] brief uh you know why is Trump reaching
[01:46:54] out to China? Why is he reaching out to
[01:46:56] Russia? Why was Rubio spending four days
[01:46:59] in India uh during a war? Well, it's
[01:47:04] because if you read the national
[01:47:05] security strategy, you see it. Trump is
[01:47:08] revising the entire world and the Fed is
[01:47:11] going to become an instrument
[01:47:14] for that revision. uh primarily it's
[01:47:18] going to be curbed to start with. But
[01:47:21] the second thing that's going to happen
[01:47:23] is that you know what Trump is doing is
[01:47:25] he's not using any of the traditional
[01:47:27] ways that people think about this.
[01:47:30] Wall Street banks, what is he doing with
[01:47:33] them? Is he trying to kill them? No.
[01:47:36] He's trying to say here's how you can
[01:47:38] make money. Okay? Come with the
[01:47:41] government. Invest in America. Actually
[01:47:43] do things on Main Street. make loans to
[01:47:47] Main Street. That's the message which is
[01:47:49] being given to Wall Street. It's very
[01:47:51] similar to the type of mobilization
[01:47:54] which actually occurred during World War
[01:47:56] II where private industry and everything
[01:47:59] else was brought into one central
[01:48:01] mission and the central mission of the
[01:48:04] Trump administration developed the
[01:48:06] United States and create a trading
[01:48:09] relationship
[01:48:11] with the rest of the world in which we
[01:48:14] actually profit and they actually
[01:48:15] profit. Now what was Bretton Woods?
[01:48:19] Simply uh it was the monetary system
[01:48:23] which was actually developed after World
[01:48:25] War II and after a big fight between
[01:48:29] Franklin Roosevelt and the British.
[01:48:32] Roosevelt told Churchill, "We're not
[01:48:34] going to get in another British war on
[01:48:36] behalf of the British Empire. What we're
[01:48:38] going to do is we're going to break the
[01:48:40] colonial system and we're going to use
[01:48:42] American methods to actually help all of
[01:48:45] these other nations develop because
[01:48:47] that's good for us. We'll make money off
[01:48:50] of actually helping the world develop
[01:48:53] through American methods. So what
[01:48:56] Brettonwoods was was a meeting in which
[01:48:58] the British and the United States fought
[01:49:01] it out. Uh the British wanted a what
[01:49:04] what we would call today a a centralized
[01:49:07] digital currency what everybody is
[01:49:09] talking about and is afraid of that was
[01:49:11] John Mayor Keynes and he said we want a
[01:49:15] bankor which would be controlled by
[01:49:17] globalist financial institutions. The
[01:49:20] United States said instead, "No, we're
[01:49:22] going to have the dollar as the reserve
[01:49:24] currency and we're going to peg the
[01:49:26] dollar to gold as a reserve standard."
[01:49:30] Which created what? There the most
[01:49:32] important part of this is not the
[01:49:34] monetary part. It created a stable
[01:49:37] relationship for long-term low interest
[01:49:41] lowinterest loans to actually promote
[01:49:44] production. That was what was actually
[01:49:47] accomplished at the great Brettonwoods
[01:49:50] fight. Why did Nixon cave? Well, because
[01:49:53] the city of London created a whole
[01:49:55] That's a very complex question. Uh the
[01:49:58] city of London created a whole mess
[01:50:01] around the gold reserve standard uh
[01:50:04] using all of their economic might to do
[01:50:06] so. uh and you know he was influenced by
[01:50:10] uh some very nasty British agents within
[01:50:13] the United States government to actually
[01:50:16] uh kill Breton Woods. Uh but that's a
[01:50:18] very complicated story and I don't
[01:50:20] really want to I wouldn't do a service
[01:50:22] by actually just you know giving you my
[01:50:25] off-the-top observation about that. Uh
[01:50:27] there were lots of causes to it, but the
[01:50:30] point was that their intention in
[01:50:33] getting the United States out of the
[01:50:34] Bretton Woods thing and getting it
[01:50:36] linked to, you know, pure currency
[01:50:40] speculation in the city of London was to
[01:50:44] create exactly the the dark age which
[01:50:47] we've all just lived through. Um so, you
[01:50:50] know, that's kind of a sketch. Uh again,
[01:50:53] you could write a whole book about this,
[01:50:55] but you know, it's kind of a sketch as
[01:50:57] to the fundamental dynamics.
[01:51:01] >> Susan, any thoughts on this one?
[01:51:04] >> Uh I just want to mention Barbara did
[01:51:06] address this in her um Wednesday show.
[01:51:09] And in her Wednesday show, she also
[01:51:12] referenced a more extensive class by
[01:51:14] Will Wartz, which is on the Prometheian
[01:51:17] Action website from May, beginning of
[01:51:20] May. Um,
[01:51:21] >> May 2nd,
[01:51:22] >> May 2nd. So for people who want to dive
[01:51:25] a little more deeply into this, go to
[01:51:27] the Prometheian Action website, go to
[01:51:29] the classes, um, and watch that.
[01:51:35] >> Yeah, let me actually, uh, you know
[01:51:37] what, that's a good point. Let me let me
[01:51:38] go ahead and pull this up for people
[01:51:40] right here. Uh so they can just get a
[01:51:42] sense of where's Will's classes on the
[01:51:44] site.
[01:51:45] >> Yeah, good idea.
[01:51:46] >> Um so this is the Prometheian Action
[01:51:50] website here and if you just do a search
[01:51:52] for uh
[01:51:55] >> well actually the drop down for shows is
[01:51:57] the easiest way to find it I find. But
[01:51:59] oh yeah, I guess you could do it that
[01:52:01] way.
[01:52:01] >> Yeah, if you just type Brett and Woods,
[01:52:02] it's a Saturday class. Why we So if you
[01:52:05] just type why we need why we need a new
[01:52:09] So if you just type in why we need a new
[01:52:10] Bretton Woods, it should come up right
[01:52:13] here on the Prometheian Action website.
[01:52:16] And it's this thing. This is on our
[01:52:19] other channel. So if you just if you go
[01:52:21] and look for it on on the Prometheian
[01:52:23] updates channel, you're not going to
[01:52:25] find it there. It's on our second
[01:52:26] channel called Prometheian Indepth.
[01:52:31] But I just showed show showed everyone
[01:52:33] how to get to it from the
[01:52:34] >> prem. Scroll back up to the toolbar at
[01:52:36] the top. Let me just notice where it
[01:52:39] says shows there. This is where you can
[01:52:41] find all of our shows. The updates
[01:52:44] Barbara and I do our science shows, our
[01:52:46] classes. Our friend Mike Stagger does
[01:52:49] Prometheian overviews. So, we do a lot
[01:52:51] of stuff. Uh, and you know, we know that
[01:52:55] YouTube isn't exactly reliable in terms
[01:52:59] of notifying you. So, if you want to
[01:53:01] follow all of our video output, hang out
[01:53:05] under that uh dropdown.
[01:53:08] >> Thank you, Lee, for sending in the
[01:53:10] questions. Thank you to all of our
[01:53:11] newsletter supporters for joining us.
[01:53:13] Again, I encourage everyone, please uh
[01:53:15] the link to get our free newsletter in
[01:53:17] the description. It'll allow us to stay
[01:53:19] in contact with what we do on a weekly
[01:53:22] basis outside of YouTube's uh YouTube's
[01:53:26] control. Okay. And I I want to take um I
[01:53:30] want to take uh another set of questions
[01:53:33] here on the American system and also a
[01:53:38] similar thing but I'm going to start
[01:53:40] here again. Uh so thank you thank you
[01:53:43] Paul Cahill for the question here. Um
[01:53:46] how about packaging the American system
[01:53:48] so Iran and the rest of the world can
[01:53:50] adopt it? Australians suffer from the
[01:53:54] idiots in charge who are now taxing us
[01:53:56] without taking it to an election.
[01:53:58] Commies in charge. They certainly are.
[01:54:01] They have the terrible mindset. And I
[01:54:04] want to pull this in with some more
[01:54:05] questions here about the American
[01:54:07] system. So
[01:54:09] first question is what is Alexander
[01:54:12] Hamilton's American system? So thank you
[01:54:14] Serena for joining us again this week.
[01:54:17] Uh, next question here is some of the
[01:54:19] newer historians have couched Alexander
[01:54:22] Hamilton as a black hat as he pushed for
[01:54:24] a central banking system
[01:54:27] which Jefferson others decrieded. How
[01:54:29] would you reconcile his apparent
[01:54:31] globalist efforts which eventually won
[01:54:33] out w with crediting him with the
[01:54:36] American system that Trump and the white
[01:54:39] hats are promoting?
[01:54:42] Thank you, Artos. And third question
[01:54:45] here is, I've always heard or read that
[01:54:47] Hamilton was the enemy of Jefferson and
[01:54:50] that he set up the fiat currency. Now
[01:54:53] I'm expected to believe he was a good
[01:54:54] guy. I don't know. Can you help me
[01:54:56] understand better? Thank you, Creel. And
[01:54:59] thank you, Paul, for your question about
[01:55:01] the American system and Australia. So,
[01:55:04] Barbara and Susan, your thoughts on the
[01:55:05] American system, Hamilton, Jefferson,
[01:55:08] the fight for fiat currency versus a n
[01:55:11] central bank, national bank, excuse me,
[01:55:12] national bank. Well, look, the the
[01:55:16] people, you know, people who have read
[01:55:17] about Hamilton and central banking and
[01:55:20] so on, ask yourself if in anything that
[01:55:23] you read, did anybody talk about the
[01:55:26] American system? And the answer is no.
[01:55:30] Because one of the biggest things that
[01:55:33] was done in the last century or so is
[01:55:37] taking away from the American population
[01:55:40] the knowledge of the uniquely American
[01:55:43] economic discovery which Alexander
[01:55:46] Hamilton made and which was then carried
[01:55:49] forward by people like uh Lincoln and
[01:55:53] McKinley and which is now being
[01:55:55] explicitly revived by this
[01:55:57] administration. Uh people
[01:56:00] for for a quick short course go look up
[01:56:03] Jameson Greer's speech at Davos. If you
[01:56:07] just put Jameson Greer and American
[01:56:09] system in Davos in your search engine
[01:56:11] it's going to show up.
[01:56:13] >> Is that from 2026?
[01:56:14] >> Yeah. Our trade ambassador went to Davos
[01:56:17] and he schooled the globalists on the
[01:56:20] fact that we are bringing the American
[01:56:22] system of Alexander Hamilton back. Now
[01:56:26] there's several elements to it and
[01:56:28] national banking as opposed to central
[01:56:30] banking is one of them. But before you
[01:56:33] get into the mechanics of it, you have
[01:56:34] to start with the principle. The British
[01:56:37] system is based on money controlling
[01:56:39] everything. They control the money,
[01:56:42] therefore they control you. That's how
[01:56:44] their central banking system operates.
[01:56:47] And you know they control the trade
[01:56:49] flows, they control the insurance, they
[01:56:51] control all of this. You don't have any
[01:56:54] economic independence. You're you're
[01:56:56] reliant on buying stuff from somebody
[01:56:59] who's controlled by the British. Like,
[01:57:02] hey, how about this as an example? Oil
[01:57:05] from the Persian Gulf, right? That's the
[01:57:07] British system. The American system of
[01:57:09] Alexander Hamilton is not based on
[01:57:11] money. It's based on producing things.
[01:57:14] It's based on man exerting greater
[01:57:17] dominion over nature so that we can
[01:57:18] produce more and better and support more
[01:57:21] people. And so the American system set
[01:57:23] up various kinds of institutions and
[01:57:27] policies that foster that question of
[01:57:31] actual production. Tariffs is one
[01:57:34] obvious side of it. That's what Jameson
[01:57:37] Greer talks about at length in that
[01:57:38] Davos speech. Support for internal
[01:57:41] improvements. the kind of big projects
[01:57:44] that private industry can't start
[01:57:47] although they can participate in like
[01:57:49] transcontinental railroads and space
[01:57:51] programs and eerie canals and so on. Uh
[01:57:55] that's another part of it and a national
[01:57:57] bank which is not a central bank is
[01:58:00] another part of it. A national bank says
[01:58:04] the US government is going to set up an
[01:58:06] institution to make sure that if the
[01:58:08] producers want to produce something,
[01:58:09] they're going to have credit,
[01:58:12] which you did don't have under the
[01:58:13] Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve
[01:58:15] says, "Well, we got to keep the balance
[01:58:16] sheets of JP Morgan Chase happy. And we
[01:58:20] don't care if no money goes." Why do you
[01:58:22] think Kelly Laughler, the SBA
[01:58:25] administrator, just talked about a half
[01:58:26] a million new business startups? I
[01:58:29] wonder where they're getting the credit
[01:58:30] from. probably not the Federal Reserve
[01:58:33] because we are setting up these kind of
[01:58:35] parallel lines of credit. Those are the
[01:58:37] three pillars of the American system
[01:58:40] that's been written out of our history.
[01:58:42] And yes, Jefferson opposed Hamilton
[01:58:46] completely.
[01:58:47] You know what good he did in writing the
[01:58:50] Declaration of Independence under
[01:58:52] Benjamin Franklin. You know, we're not
[01:58:54] going to ignore that. But beyond that,
[01:58:57] his economics were pure British
[01:59:01] agrarian philosophy. Um, and his outlook
[01:59:06] was purely British and was violently
[01:59:09] opposed not only to Hamilton but was
[01:59:12] also opposed to equally opposed to
[01:59:15] George the Washington administration.
[01:59:17] You would be shocked at how violent his
[01:59:20] attacks on George Washington were. So,
[01:59:23] you know, the man did not age well. Let
[01:59:26] me just put it that way. Uh, but of
[01:59:28] course, the British have rewritten our
[01:59:30] history. So, to obscure all of this, but
[01:59:33] it's simple. Start with the American
[01:59:36] system versus the British system. Once
[01:59:38] you master the difference between those
[01:59:40] two things and again on the Prometheian
[01:59:42] Action website, we have two pamphlets
[01:59:45] under our toolkit. One is called the
[01:59:47] American system 2.0 O and the other is
[01:59:50] called bye-bye globalism. The American
[01:59:52] system is back. Start there. Get the
[01:59:55] difference between the American system
[01:59:56] and the British system under your belt.
[01:59:59] And then you can start to relook at
[02:00:01] history from the standpoint of the
[02:00:04] fundamentals, not what somebody told you
[02:00:07] by pasting together 55 secondary and
[02:00:10] tertiary sources in order to come up
[02:00:13] with a story that is, you know, going to
[02:00:15] keep you from understanding the power of
[02:00:17] our own economic system.
[02:00:23] >> Barbara, any thoughts on the American
[02:00:24] system?
[02:00:26] Well, I mean, your resources, the
[02:00:28] Prometh Prometheian Action website,
[02:00:30] that's really what we're about. Um,
[02:00:32] that's mostly what we uh spend all our
[02:00:35] time explaining uh to people. If you
[02:00:38] want to go deep, uh, you can go deep by
[02:00:41] actually reading Alexander Hamilton's
[02:00:44] report on a national bank and his report
[02:00:46] on manufacturers, which allowed us to
[02:00:49] get out of complete bankruptcy after the
[02:00:53] American Revolution and actually build
[02:00:55] the strongest economy uh that ever
[02:00:58] existed on the face of the earth. You
[02:01:00] can read uh Henry Kerry uh who has a
[02:01:03] very succinct uh description uh he was
[02:01:07] Abraham Lincoln's economist and he
[02:01:09] actually was responsible through his
[02:01:11] measures for the union winning uh the
[02:01:14] civil war. Um but you know he said
[02:01:17] basically there's two systems before the
[02:01:19] world to doing it in shorthand one is a
[02:01:22] money system and the other actually
[02:01:26] focuses on the human mind and the actual
[02:01:30] uh use of the human mind to create a
[02:01:32] whole economies uh and uh fill uh God's
[02:01:37] command to go forth uh and you know
[02:01:40] develop the earth in Genesis. So uh
[02:01:43] those are really shorthands for it but
[02:01:45] it has a massive tradition uh in in our
[02:01:48] in our history. McKinley uh who Donald
[02:01:51] Trump cites all the time uh was a
[02:01:54] complete exponent of it. uh he it was
[02:01:57] exported to other countries uh for
[02:02:00] example in China. Syden was a complete
[02:02:05] advocate of the American system against
[02:02:07] the British system uh and actually
[02:02:10] talked about the development of China in
[02:02:11] a very famous work in which he compared
[02:02:14] the two systems. This was known to
[02:02:17] people uh like like you know you know
[02:02:20] today a lot of things. It was known to
[02:02:22] people what the American system was up
[02:02:25] through McKinley and even you know
[02:02:27] Franklin Roosevelt did a very different
[02:02:29] version of it after spending most of his
[02:02:32] recovery from polio uh reading Alexander
[02:02:35] Hamilton. Um so you know it's been wiped
[02:02:39] out. Uh and our the other major exponent
[02:02:43] who actually was responsible for getting
[02:02:45] it into Europe was a character by the
[02:02:47] name of Friedrich List who was really
[02:02:50] really important. And when our economy
[02:02:53] was taken down, you know, you should
[02:02:55] know also that Karl Marx hated the
[02:02:58] American system. Uh wrote whole diet
[02:03:01] tribes about it. Um and when when it was
[02:03:05] when our system was destroyed after
[02:03:07] 1971,
[02:03:09] what the authors of that entire control
[02:03:12] disintegration of the US economy is what
[02:03:15] they called it uh attacked was the idea
[02:03:18] that the American system should ever
[02:03:20] come back into existence.
[02:03:22] So the exponents of the system have all
[02:03:25] been assassinated in our history. That
[02:03:28] may tell you something about why uh you
[02:03:30] know there's such a fear around Donald
[02:03:32] Trump. Uh and the reason is it's a
[02:03:35] system which actually works and
[02:03:37] progresses for mankind. Uh and everybody
[02:03:40] who's on the other side of that equation
[02:03:43] knows it and will do anything they can
[02:03:45] to destroy it. So that's how I uh put it
[02:03:48] out there.
[02:03:52] >> Thank you, Barbara. And thank you

[02:05:26] cheaper. Check out uh my collection. You
[02:05:30] can again the link for is in the
[02:05:32] description and it should be coming up
[02:05:34] on the super chat. And uh so any final
[02:05:38] words, Barbara and Susan, before we
[02:05:40] close today's show?
[02:05:44] Well, I think, you know, you're going to
[02:05:45] basically see a lot of stuff happen over
[02:05:47] the course of the next week. We're in a
[02:05:49] transition period, folks. Uh, you know,
[02:05:52] it gets very turbulent when you're doing
[02:05:54] something entirely new or reviving
[02:05:57] something that people have tried to
[02:05:58] destroy for over 250 years. Um, we're at
[02:06:03] 250 years in the republic, which is a
[02:06:06] remarkable achievement. Uh and
[02:06:10] essentially what's going on now is a war
[02:06:13] over our future. And when when we get
[02:06:16] through to the other side of all of the
[02:06:19] turbulence which is going on because
[02:06:21] it's a war uh you're going to see very
[02:06:24] clearly just like getting up in space uh
[02:06:26] and looking down on the earth, you get a
[02:06:29] much clearer vision of everything that's
[02:06:30] going on. You will come through on the
[02:06:33] other side one way or the other. uh and
[02:06:36] we here are really um dedicated to the
[02:06:39] proposition that Donald Trump's doing
[02:06:41] the right thing. Uh obviously we might
[02:06:43] disagree with him on certain points of
[02:06:46] of of contention but his directionality
[02:06:49] is something which we've never
[02:06:50] experienced in our lifetimes which why I
[02:06:53] think you've got to go constantly take
[02:06:56] uh the optimistic view of everything
[02:06:58] he's doing uh and say how does this
[02:07:01] cohhere uh with what Linus said uh which
[02:07:05] is the only thing that's possible in
[02:07:06] God's universe which is we live in the
[02:07:08] best of all possible worlds. So, um,
[02:07:12] there's a lot of cynicism and pessimism
[02:07:15] out there. That's what they throw at
[02:07:16] you. Uh, it's designed to really crimp
[02:07:20] your mental powers. And if you start
[02:07:22] thinking in this direction, you'll find
[02:07:25] that you'll learn and know a whole lot
[02:07:27] more a lot faster. So, that's how I'd
[02:07:30] end my comments for this show.
[02:07:33] >> Yeah. And I just add that, you know,
[02:07:35] when you're in a period of change,
[02:07:38] uh, stop relying on labels.
[02:07:41] because you know the the whole point of
[02:07:44] change is that um things are evolving
[02:07:50] into a a a different kind of system.
[02:07:52] We've been you know people have been
[02:07:54] trapped in this British imperial system
[02:07:57] and they've judged things they their
[02:07:59] emotions are connected to it. They've
[02:08:01] slapped a bunch of labels, white hat,
[02:08:04] black hat, you know, in this old system.
[02:08:07] And you know what you have to get used
[02:08:09] to is that system is being destroyed.
[02:08:12] And a new one is emerging, but it's
[02:08:13] emerging because the people who are
[02:08:15] leading it are operating from the
[02:08:18] standpoint of principles, not labels.
[02:08:20] And we've tried to get these principles
[02:08:22] across in terms of the difference
[02:08:24] between the British system and the
[02:08:25] American system and two images of man.
[02:08:28] you know, spend more time thinking
[02:08:30] through those principles and less time
[02:08:32] reacting to labels and I think everyone
[02:08:34] will be a lot happier and we're going to
[02:08:36] move a lot faster.
[02:08:41] >> I just want to comment and something
[02:08:43] Barbara mentioned at the very end there.
[02:08:46] No one pessimistic people never
[02:08:49] accomplish anything.
[02:08:53] It's really that simple, guys. If you're
[02:08:55] being led down a pessimistic path about
[02:08:57] your view about anything, that's
[02:08:59] fundamentally never going to actually
[02:09:01] change anything.
[02:09:03] And if anyone can show me a place, a
[02:09:07] time when a pessimistic outlook actually
[02:09:09] accomplished anything good in the world,
[02:09:12] you can reach out to me on my x.com
[02:09:14] because I don't think you're going to
[02:09:15] find that. So it behooves all of you to
[02:09:18] take to get a much bigger view of the
[02:09:20] world of what human beings are
[02:09:22] capability uh capable of and look at
[02:09:26] politics through that lens not this
[02:09:29] pessimistic and cortisol driven news
[02:09:32] cycle that we have. All right, thank you
[02:09:34] everyone. We'll see you live next
[02:09:36] Thursday and our next political update
[02:09:40] will come on Saturday morning or
[02:09:43] afternoon. Thank you everyone. See you
[02:09:45] next week.
