(00:00) you you took your shot at the king and you missed and now you don't even have plausible deniability that you didn't do it we know you did it we can see you did it we can see that you know that we can see you did it it's it's it's over so now is when they get really dangerous sadly because now they got nothing left to lose this rip of tftc was brought to you by river it's the best place to buy Bitcoin go to river.
(00:33) com tftc and enjoy this episode yeah is this the low energy podcast that you go on is that is that well you're it's not that you're it's not low energy but I I you know you just you tend to match the energy of the person that you're talking with right I mean you know so you get a lower energy version of me because you're because you you know are project calm and and uh rationality as opposed to you know allowing me to go off on you know indulge my own you know endocrine system it's just a different thing so it
(01:05) is and I don't know if I'm gonna be that calm today because I don't know what is rational what is up what is down it's been a week and I mean I hit you up I think on Monday yeah after the assassination because I think a lot of what's going on between the last time we spoke and now is really an acceleration of a lot of the themes you've been talking about obviously the failed assassination attempt um and then the aftermath of that which is it seems like Trump's goton to win a the landslide
(01:35) he's picked his VP and it seems like there is an inter cabal squabble here in the US that the tech Elite are really taking advantage of in the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt yeah yeah I well that's that's interesting you know you talk about that because if you want to start with that angle which is the whole JD dance VC Peter teal what I think my friend pones calls the PayPal Mafia um I'm interested in your take on that because I don't really have a take on that yet I mean I I kind of do but
(02:10) it's not like it's not one of those things that I I i' I've given some thought to it I've been exposed to the the arguments I I said I chatted with Pete for privately for about an hour and a half one night and I'm gonna have him on my podcast later in the week later next week and then we're gon to go over this right I want to hear some more details and what he you know seems to know about this um you know I've so I don't know so I'm actually interested in your take on what you think is going on
(02:35) because I think it's interesting you're probably closer to where I am the I mean to me it just seems like there's been this bubbling Movement by the PayPal Mafia and others loosely associated with them to Wrangle control of the Republican Party specifically just kicking out the neocons and the Lindsey grahams and mid Romney of the world and laying the ground for New Kids on the Block who really want to take America in a different direction and but I'm not so sure that it's not neocon light or maybe even just neocon
(03:11) rebranded with techno with a techno rap in terms of AI surveillance and um AI Tech in the in the battlefield uh yeah they do seem maybe more Pro business and more or less willing to play ball with the radical left if you will um I don't know I don't I can't tell if it's a good or bad thing or if it's just the continuation of the unip party with a different sort of flavor to it moving forward it's it's worth it's this it's worth having that skepticism without a doubt I'm not going
(03:50) to argue in that respect at all um it's Tech it's it's in many ways the way I feel about it as well right like but we were talking about this in my uh in my community we were chatting about this because people deal and like and so and the whole that whole thing started to get out of control and I just kind of stopped it and I just threw cold water on it I said look similar to my argument about the fed and you know in and versus say the ECB or you know Davos or whatever you want to call them the globalist this is a fight that's bigger
(04:25) than you me or any of us commenting on it right if you're going to have a fight like this then if this fight's going to happen then you have to have somebody in your corner who is well powerful enough to actually fight the other side you have you know at a certain level you have to go to to war with the dragon but you ra you rather the dragon on your side this Dragon than not have a dragon at all because you can't fight both these dragons ultimately and I think that you can make the argument that big Tech Google
(05:01) Microsoft you know that that crowd versus old Tech or sorry little Tech meaning musk teal the PayPal Mafia well you know in that fight if it's a technology world that you're living in and we're not going back to the 1850s then don't you think we should have somebody in our Corner even if we have to then turn around and deal with them later like first you gotta fight the big fight and then you can fight a smaller fight after that I think I agree with that and and I'm loosely associated with some of those circles in terms of
(05:37) some events I've been to and I feel like I understand the perspective that they're bringing to the this Administration and the future of America and they do in terms of economics like I think they're way stronger on economics way more willing to unleash American Ingenuity and Innovation and really let the private sector flourish and they do want to bring back energy abundance and deregulation and lower taxes and from like the defense industry perspective I've heard some of these defense investors talk at some mini conferences
(06:16) I've been to and they make a very compelling point which is the um military-industrial complex that's just living off of these government contracts and sucking Godly amounts of money away from the $800 billion annual defense budget or simply wasting all that money and the defense Tech Private Industry is basically making the argument we can protect America and do it for a tenth of the cost potentially even less and that is something from uh the fiscal conservative side of my my mind makes a lot of sense to me is
(06:53) and if you're giving those two options I'm like yeah the second option seems way better yeah that's you know I I I I can live with that as well like um and uh you know it's is an information War we're in right and so you you're not going to go to war without somebody in the information space on your on your side and so you know if they're if that's their plan if that's their their perspective you know we're GNA have to you know distrust but verify you you know like I'm I'm
(07:29) okay with being skeptical of them like you know I'm still really skeptical of people like ramas Swami and and whatnot but simply because you know I'm I'm always skeptical when somebody comes out of the woodwork and is all of a sudden presented to me as the new as the new savior I don't care who he is he could be you know he could be I mean I mean if if I had didn't already know him right for eight years previous to that I would have felt that way about Ron Paul right in 2008 I happen to have been
(07:58) an eight-year veteran of the libertarian you know misis like sector of the World by that point so I was like I was the guy behind the scenes pushing and helping Ron become you know one of the people behind the scenes pushing Ron forward and trying to push the zist but you know had that been you know cold no I'd have been like who the [ __ ] is this guy you know what I mean and um so that's the way I feel about melee in our Ina it's way I feel about ramas Swami here in the United States so you know I'm happy to I'm happy for them to
(08:35) be wrong about them I've had like knock down drag out arguments with friends of mine over this I'm like I'm sorry but I'm just gonna remain skeptical and we can agree to disagree or you know you can sober up that's fine it's all good I'm not gonna this I'm I'm done this conversation is over to me like and I'm happy to be wrong I don't have to be right about everything this episode was presented by river river is the best most secure place to buy Bitcoin in the United States go to river.com tftc set
(09:02) up an account today you'll be able to DCA into Bitcoin without paying any fees you'll be able to give people Bitcoin via river links you'll be able to send and receive Bitcoin over the lightning Network and you'll be able to set limit orders if you want to buy Bitcoin at a particular price below or above where it is now you can set orders to buy Bitcoin when it hits that price go to river.
(09:22) com tftc and set up your account today this episode of tftc was also brought to you by bit key bit key is Bitcoin made easy to use in hard to lose if you're hardcore bitcoiner out there with friends and family members who have not gotten their Bitcoin off exchanges because they're worried about the complexity of Hardware wallets seed phrase backups this is why bit key exists bit key is collaborative custody you have a ergonomic Hardware device with biometric confirmation you have the big key app with a key in it and then
(09:50) block holds another key in the server this doesn't come with any seed phrase backups that people have to secure you have social backup it's beautiful solution if you're worried about the people in your life that aren't as advanced as you in terms of Bitcoin hardware and being able to set that up and secure it bit key is a great first step so tell them to get a bit key go to bit key.
(10:14) world use the code tc20 checkout and they'll get 20% off their first bit key yeah and we're sort of jumping forward here I mean I think we should definitely touch on what happened last Saturday and how big of a wrench because it seems like there was a calculated plan to kill this man man and then put push forward some agenda rather quickly before the election and God's grace turned his head and now we live in a completely different timeline yes we do we do it's funny it's like we you know and it's funny that everybody's
(10:47) talking about it in those terms it's like this is the kind of thing that you know I I just find it funny Marty I'm just going to digress for just a little bit and say you know I've been reading I've been reading this kind of fiction my entire life like I started reading Phil dick when I was Phil K dick when I was 12 right so the the whole idea of like multiple timeline fractures and you know that I study quantum mechanics in college and like so you know I understand like igen States and like at
(11:13) a very deep level I've been doing this stuff for a long long time so to me this is like old hat right you know this is like this is nothing new I've been talking about forking timelines like for you know most of my adult life as as if it's you know just another plot point I'm in a in a failed movie script I never published right but now I'm living it and now I'm watching everybody else reflect it back at me right and uh and I think it's well aside of the fact I think it's immensely cool
(11:42) um it's also I'm glad to see that everybody is that so many people are hip to the idea that yeah this was not the way this was supposed to go Trump was supposed to be dead the RNC was supposed to go completely different and here we are the guy missed Trump survived and it's a different world but it's a different one of the world they had planned it's exactly the same world we were in that's the weird part about this we were in this world already oh they're gonna kill Trump oh they missed you mean we we
(12:24) don't get we don't have to lose but we already lived with all of that dread we already lived with okay so yeah they were going to like run the table on us and they were going to replace Trump with Nikki Haley and then bring Hillary out from the grave and they were going to run the two of them that's what I I said this six months ago I had the feels um honestly I don't you know I I I wrote about it in uh the the February issue of my newsletter I I ran with we ran with the theme of of uh demoralization
(12:52) project you know demoralization Nation or you know demoralized nation and that was my the the theme of my entire lead article it's newsletter every month is anywhere from 3 to 4,000 words depending on you know how verbose I happened to be that week that and um that's where I came down to as I was writing that article I'm like oh I can see what the big the biggest demoralization campaign is to get rid of both Trump and Biden and then somehow you know Biden is easy you just 25th amendment him out or
(13:21) you know you know you create a thing but how do you get rid of obviously he kill Trump um and we set up a Hillary versus Haley and I I was taking it back then from the argument that why won't Nikki Haley drop out of the race when she clearly can't win and why is she staying until super Tuesday was to collect as many delegates as possible to be to have the impr premature being able to walk into the RNC with no Trump and say I'm the on the a parent and she was of course the one that they wanted and
(13:49) everybody had lined up behind because she was the perfect neocon just like Hillary is the perfect neocon for the Democrats and that was the plan and that plan's gone plan's yeah it's trash and um the one person the one prominent figure in all of this who has not tweeted since July 12th is Hillary Clinton I think that's the biggest hell of the all do you think this is an attempted unip party hit like just the Inc like the neocon and the clintons I think it was everybody I'm gonna be honest you got the tape of
(14:23) Victorian hours beforehand smirking she's was saying oh you know Trump's not going to be the Nomine you know this is my smug face like Jeremy [ __ ] Clarkson for Christ's sake and um and I and I was saying previous to again I was saying I say this you know I do a lot of I do a I speak into a microphone a lot right U I know we both do but some of it is not all public some of it is a lot of it is behind the the pay wall and I had been saying to people you know we've been talking about this and the thing kept coming up over and
(14:54) over and over again both public commentary and privately is like I don't understand understand not just like we don't understand why the debate happened when it did we don't understand why Trump agreed to it we don't understand why Biden agreed to it and it doesn't make any sense until I finally put it all together and I can't and I was actually ashamed that it took me that long to figure it out which was that they were clearly planning on getting rid of both candidates and they needed
(15:20) to prove to the world that Biden was a mushroom sporing the White House and um that they were going to kill Trump and the there was Eerie calm that I saw from everybody of you know everybody of no I saw from all the European leaders they all had this like they all this unearned confidence you know in the wake of Chevron and jassy and the the Trump immunity thing and and like the all the Supreme Court um cases Falling Away by the wayside and then all these other winds that kept getting rocked racked up around the board and like how are these
(15:54) people acting so goddamn smug that they're still winning like go clear because everybody knew this was the worst kept secret in DC in Brussels as far as I'm concerned like everybody who was anybody [ __ ] knew because they were all acting like they knew now either they knew directly or they just you know they just knew because it was just well you know Trump's not gonna be the nominee don't worry about we've got we we've got this and everybody of course acted like that and then we're
(16:25) just like operating the Gant chart and moving forward and that's what I think was going on and I think that was the big tell and the fact that Capital markets wouldn't move um because you know there was a there's something else going on there too so yeah I mean and then you just look at how was actually enabled to happen the lapse of competence from the Secret Service the the whole situation just stinks to the High Heavens now it makes you wonder like if they were successful like how successful would the
(17:00) um covering up of that lapse be would it be would they not even care or now are they forc to I think that that was part of their Flo TR and what I mean by that is that um they wanted to kill Trump and they wanted it to be so [ __ ] sloppy and so obvious this was an orgy of incompetence that they knew the autists of the would figure out quickly that there were at least three Shooters I don't know if you listen to or watch Chris martinson's presentation that he put together I'm gonna give Chris a lot of credit here
(17:40) don't peak oil but I absolutely agree with him on this one just listening I actually my wife was watching it this morning and I was just listening to his commentary and then listening to the audio and they're listening to the audio and I'm like yeah yeah yeah yeah that tracks that tracks yeah no there were three Shooters now I assume assume that there were at least two cuz you never and an operation that's important is not going to be some 20-year-old kid it's not going to be left to some 20-y old
(18:08) kid I'm sorry I just don't buy it like that's just nonsense like I can buy a grizzled x vet you know dude got you know I can something like that I can buy right rack veteran something on those goes crazy fine but some 20-year-old like freaking you know crazy you know in zomer like yeah some crazy Zoomer like you know like really like with no muscle tone yeah we can barely like lift in they are give me a freaking break so um yeah no I just don't buy it so I think that you know to finish that that
(18:43) thought I think it was part of their flowchart it was going to be so obvious that they killed Trump so obvious that they were expecting us to lose our minds and then they were going to be able to um clamp down against the violence go for gun control go for the whole nine yards cancel the election whatever they had to do I mean they either had Hillary versus Haley or they give us a distasteful election in order to keep the impr premature up that we we're still a Democratic Society and that all these evil Republicans and these evil
(19:11) magot magot people who we we've been telling you for four years are domestic terrorists are running around you know looting cities like when's the last time that you know magot Tarts you know looted a city right never but it doesn't matter because of course then there would be you know it would be a it would be Charlottesville all over again okay you know it would be a bunch of plants on both sides creating a fake you know creating fake tragedy fake violence and then and then hope for tragedy and that's you know that's what
(19:46) we that's that's their operation that's their they've been doing it for God knows how long now and you know I'm just over it and I think we all are and you you took a shot at the king and you missed and now you don't even plausible [ __ ] deniability that you didn't do it we know you did it we can see you did it we can see that you know that we can see you did it's it's it's over so now is when they get really dangerous sadly because now they got nothing left to lose and there ain't nothing worse than
(20:22) a person with power and guns who doesn't have anything less than the left to lose and if you think that you know I don't it's not just the domestic unit party I'm talking now specifically you know International forces like I would consider Davos you know slash the the old British Remnant and the rest of them like like their their ven diagram has been the center of their of all their different V diagrams has been destroy Russia and now that's off the table and zalinski knows it um Victor Orban explained it all to
(20:59) Trump that both sides Victor Orban just came out in in a radio interview or yeah it was a radio interview I think um was yesterday and he said look I went around I spoke to everybody um NATO and Trump and I told Trump everybody still thinks they can win you know Ukraine thinks they can win the Russians think they can win everybody thinks they can win and so that it that's two that's that's two things what that means is two things one that there's a framework for negotiation because both sides don't think they can
(21:33) win so therefore there's a potential for negotiation where you know they neither of them get everything they want and we can actually get you know get the war ended but the second thing is that it probably told Trump yeah we absolutely need to end this and so Orban goes to marago on on Friday Trump is supposed to be sentenced on sentenced on originally on Thursday the 11th orbon shows up in marago on Friday and they try and kill Trump on Sunday and the RNC is on Monday yeah yeah so and then today I mean people are just
(22:19) hand waving it as a simple bug and some software but the crowd strike debacle um that grounded a bunch of flights messed up a bunch of Banks and telecom companies like I don't think that's a coincidence at all especially when you dig into the background of crowd strike and their connections the world economic Forum in Davos and their intent to push a digital ID like it seems and that makes me wonder like was that part of the the success plan like kill Trump have all this chaos then throw this on on top of it and okay Marty um let's
(22:55) let's take it one step further I pointed out earlier I just a with my friends crypto rich and and Alex Craner and I pointed it out earlier in the day to everybody as well oh by the way today was options expiration and it was the highest valued July Opex in history a lot of people had put a lot of money on particular outcomes in the capital markets and since 10 o'clock yesterday morning they have been in freef Fall to get reset to a particular level go look at the Woodshed the wood shedding of silver from 31 down to 2920 I just
(23:32) checked it while you were talking um gold the gold close below for 2400 today nope 2466 in the cash Market okay are you are you [ __ ] kidding me we we we closed two weeks ago at $499.95 are you [ __ ] kidding me like you know like at the end of the day like clearly markets were reset to a particular level because someone was going to lose a [ __ ] ton of [ __ ] money and um that happened on Opex today guess what Monday morning will look completely different what do you mean Bitcoin what I mean by that is that is that what I
(24:11) mean by that is that we saw 41,000 on the the the the the the Dow closes last week at 41 Grand it closes this week at uh sorry I'm going to pull it up right now 40,000 288 287 and change um close enough to 40 Grand that you know know not too many people lost lost their ass it's going to go back up to 41 Grand next week like this will be a false move down as Martin Armstrong would put it it'll be a a a market move all of these were Market moves against the trend in the same way that we saw that I I
(24:47) expected on the last day of trading on C Q2 to end the the month of June I said yeah this they're just holding the markets in Amber Monday morning the markets are going to explode and yeah lo and behold the freaking bond market moved 13 points that Monday on excuse me on no news it just moved it moved because it was has been held in place and when you try and hold markets against the directions they want to go it's like the classic example of holding a beach ball below water and you can only hold it down there for so long that
(25:17) eventually you know the arms get tired and and and it explodes and the deeper you push the market against its will the worse the uh you know the the higher the Beast ball is going to going to fly when it comes out of the water it's because it's you're talking about short positioning they had positioned in that case they had positioned oil so short it was like it was they were the the speculators were like 95% net short it was a historic short position in oil I'm like well that's a clear signal that
(25:46) we've reached the bottom and you I told everybody to go long whe at like $77 and because it's going to 90 and I was I was like but I was and it did so in like seven trading days and it was it hit a high of like 8850 it was just a massive short squeeze and um and then it held that as well I mean it was crazy we we're dealing with people who are who think they control can control everything and um clearly they can't control the wind and clearly they can't control you know the Heat and or you know depending on
(26:21) your you know your ecclesiastical bent the will of God you know and I'm not you know I this is if there's an event of my lifetime and I will be hon I'm dead serious when I say this that you know makes me question my my renunciation of of Catholicism as a child it's this I I don't know how to explain this I just don't like Trump turns his head while basically while the bullet's in the air or while the guy is squeezing the trigger dude I I got nothing you know I got nothing other than the universe was like no Trump's
(27:05) not going to die because the UN because humanity is not going to wipe itself out not part of the plan whatever that plan happens to be now I'll admit I'm a a man of faith and I definitely consider this some form of divine intervention I mean just when you look at the the videos that have come out of where it would have hit if he didn't turn his head and how it just gra them it's hard not to believe that this was some God putting his finger on the weight on the scale yeah no I you know it's funny I you know I went to a a
(27:41) conference I spoke at a conference up in woodminster uh Al um Ed Alberta three hours East of of edmont put on by Shawn Newman and I opened up I had the opening statement for the day basically and uh I a 15minute speech and I I wrote about and it in trying to figure out what to how to frame that talk I um I as I was working out you know what to talk about okay we're going to talk about the end of the world well because that's what it felt like we were you know prepping for right and I'm like and it reminded as I went backwards and as I
(28:14) went back in time I went back in time it and I was thinking about what to say I remembered a poem I wrote when I was in as an undergraduate in college not particularly good poem not one that I was you know that I would consider you know you know having as I have my poetries buried deeply on on the on the website you have to go look for it if you want to go find it those are the ones that I I'm technically proud of this is not one of them but it was interesting is that this one kept coming back to me and there's a line in that
(28:41) poem where it said you know it just like God put his finger on the Empire State Building and spun the world and um and the way the it's supposed to be you know a view of the end of of uh of civilization from a bagel shop in Gainesville as the as uh you know communism's falling all of this stuff and and that you know there's this massive collapse of society outside but you know we're all so blissfully ignorant just you know going about our normal routine who's you know doing the crossroad puzzle and who's trying to you
(29:10) know and who's being who's what waitress is being nicer than the other one in order to try to get a decent tip and blah blah blah blah and I'm like yeah and in the end um you know God took his finger off the Empire State Building and I didn't really that's how the poem ends and I you know and I thought about it and I think about where New York is now is definitely taking his finger off the Empire State Building because you know wall Street's moving to Miami and New York has is rapidly being turned into a
(29:35) museum or worse a John Carpenter movie right and uh you know there's my 21y old or 22y old um no 21 year old cynical self you know thinking through that and what was funny I said to the people in in Loy minister at the time I like you know when I wrote that I had nothing but kind of contempt for all these people and when I read it now I don't see anything other than posos it's a completely different person who watches this now so it's a it's a weird thing just the the the Arc of you know you think
(30:11) about it you know how you've gotten to the moment you're in in this life to be standing up on a stage like recounting and I wrote you know I read the poem out loud and the end the speech and I'm like damn it's been a weird freaking ride and then here we are you know what three months later and this thing happen and uh wow you know sometimes I just left speechless to be honest with you well that mind do you think it's the best time to be alive or is it uh not the most opportune time to be alive uh I don't
(30:46) know depends on who you are I guess um I've uh I you know I I want to say that i' I've spent my entire life prepping for this moment right but I didn't really right you know I mean we all like have wound ourselves up and these like where we are you know we're all the sum total of every decision that we've ever made in our lives and you know and maturity is when you finally take if you know we can call it that call it that in my case taking trying to take responsibility of every one of those
(31:16) decisions um and you have to if you want to be an adult and you want to be taken seriously as an adult um but you know we're all here now and then you got to say to yourself well was that part of the plan and then you know whose plan was it was it yours you're barely in control of your own behavior on a day-to-day basis you know like it's just it is what it is like and then you start thinking about like I'm i' I've said for a long time now that the universe is far more interesting a place than anything I have
(31:48) to say about it and that's my that's my that's my way out you know of of of you know I get to stand on both I get to have my foot on both islands and that's fine because it what I'm trying to do is say look I'm willing to submit to the um to the whatever the universe has you know in store so at the end of the day the best you can do is comport yourself with the best way you can speak truth do the thing try and you know and try and be the best version of yourself you can be every day now do
(32:24) I do I achieve those goals every day oh [ __ ] no like it's not even close like my spiritual scorecard is not a you know it's it's you know it's pretty [ __ ] thin margin but you know whatever you know you do your best and the same thing goes for Donald Trump and the same thing goes for a lot of other people and this is one of the things that what I've always liked about Trump I've always felt about Trump I don't know if I liked it about him but I felt about him which is that you know
(32:52) Trump knew he wasn't a good guy right I he clearly looks back on that that guy that I grew up with in New York I I've known about Donald Trump since I'm nine years old for [ __ ] sake right but he Trump looks back on that guy he's like I'm you know yeah you know I got a lot to I got a lot to to to to atone for or whatever he's like you know I'm gonna put I'm gonna stop putting myself first I'm gonna put everybody else first for whatever reason and now Heaven Help his enemies that get a good point I mean it
(33:28) seem like it's pretty obvious they shot they missed they've got nothing left to lose like what is this wounded animal that's being cornered right now doe what do the next three months leading up to the election look like and then if and when he's elected where do we go from here and is um is there an actual chance to defeat this dragon and get out the other end on better footing they is of course there is like if you believe if you believe that this was the hand of God that like you know spared Trump's life then you have to
(34:05) believe that I mean you know I'm not even speaking from that you know I'm not even speaking from that that position I'm saying that if you believe that and a lot of people are well then you have to believe that we have the opportunity to slay the dragon because we've been given the opportunity to slay the dragon right so okay okay well then let's take let's seize the opportunity but let's not be stupid you know it's time to play offense not defense and I don't mean go out and you know beat people up in the
(34:35) streets for being for wearing for having purple hair in a nose ring and saying terrible things about Trump that's not I'm to say I'm saying in the information space we have to be on offense we have to not at all in any way um give Credence to the crazy people on the left who are now working with the intelligence agencies to seed the Ze with Mal missing disinformation about this event this was clearly and I've been doing this a long time and to me I've never seen an information space get so polluted so damn quick than I did
(35:09) after that that shot missed clearly this was an attempt by multiple agencies it's going to come out there at least three Shooters as far as I'm concerned now and this is partly inductive reasoning partly it's you know I may be wrong fine I don't care doesn't matter I know what I saw I know what I've heard I know what I heard on the day when the first time I listened to it I'm like oh there's at least two people um there two different guns here and and I'm losing my hearing but
(35:41) I'm not I haven't lost hasn't gone that far and I'm like so it's time for them to prove to us that they're the that they're not crazy they've done nothing call us crazy about everything for decades sorry you're the crazy people you get to prove to me that Donald Trump set this thing up with a blood package you show me the squib you show me the you show it to me otherwise [ __ ] off they tried to kill a former president and the presumptive president and plunge the country in the
(36:22) Civil War and execute a coup against the American people you answer for that and piss off about everything else we have to go on that offense and we have to bypass the entire narrative structure that the IC is currently putting in place to pollute the information space and pollute the side Guist no it's like that's like the Democrats immediately want to go for oh Joe's a little scile who are we gon to replace him with no no no no no no no no how did we saw this three years ago you knew he's been decompensating for
(37:00) [ __ ] three years you knew we've had a hun an unelected Hunter running the country the president hasn't been the president for three years that's treason can we have that conversation before we decide on who's going to be next you're trying to shift the Overton windows so goddamn far to the to in your direction that everybody's got whiplash [ __ ] off yeah this is what we need to do and I think another thing like the nature in which they tried to do it like it another thing that's odd about last
(37:32) Saturday is the fact that it was as widely covered by mainstream media as any of his uh stump speeches have been throughout this campaign and so they obviously wanted a spectacle um they want they wanted that plastered and that is truly nefarious to the point of like demonic where they wanted that that trauma plastered on everybody's TV and on social media over and over and over again yeah no I I I I brought that up that point very I'm glad you brought that up because I got I forgot I forgot to bring it up earlier um yeah it's a
(38:10) very very important point and I brought it up at every other public appearance I've made in the last week which is oh by the way this was the first Trump rally that CNN covered live all [ __ ] year they knew or someone at CNN there yeah I mean come on what am I what am I 12 you know that I would believe I would believe this fairy tale you know yeah and that's and it's what's been very positive last week is the reaction from most people particularly people in the center and even leaning more towards the left to have had this
(39:01) oh my God that that is even a step too far for me obviously there's been people like Destiny out there have been putting out just utter despicable commentary on what happened but and obviously you have all the people who are commenting like I wish the shooter didn't miss um but I do think there's a material amount of people in the center and even trending left to solve that I mean gosh even my father-in-law who's an MSNBC guy like was he he didn't go as far to say that that's a step too far
(39:36) but even he was like oh my gosh this is insane yeah that's a good and that's a good thing I one of the uh Marty you and I had spoken in a couple of months but one of the things I was saying uh leading up to the debate was that my I I don't wish this on Joe Biden I have no wish to abuse him in the same way that um his wife and family and handlers and you know political operatics are abusing him because what because the Biden Administration is now nothing but more than a Organization for elder abuse
(40:09) but what I said was coming into the campaign we need a galvanizing moment and what better galvanizing moment would there be than for Joe Biden to stroke out on stage and just explain to everybody just how bad things really were I was expecting them to to juice him up like they did at the State of the Union and get his meds wrong and then he finally just you know like collapse under the pressure because he they they can get him to whatever state they want for about 15 minutes with the right drugs but 90 minutes is like here
(40:44) there's no way so they didn't they punted and they went the exact opposite direction which wind up being its own form of mea collapse right of oh my God Biden's decompensating we need to replace him that's okay because we're going to kill Trump next week well if you do that they're going to handle election Trump no we're not we're gonna kill Trump next week and then we're gonna install Nikki Haley problem solved and it was like the whole thing was staring you right in the face once you put it all together why
(41:18) the debate before the nominating conventions why this why this why that all these anomalies why this orgy of anomalies and this orgy of incompetence by the Secret Service and the police department on scene like it's it just you know there comes a point where you know I'm sorry but I don't I I choose not to disbelieve I'm Gonna Roll and you know this is D and D I choose to disbelieve the illusion oh look I rolled I rolled a natural 20 I don't even need to roll a natural 20 I just got not roll
(41:45) a three like you know dumb yeah and they don't have good poker faces either I mean you already mentioned the fact that Hillary has tweeted then did you see the the picture of Lindsey Graham and Sheldon Adon in the uh in the uh Press Box and they looked completely deflated like yeah yeah like they they just screwed the pooch yeah like they know they know Trump knows that they were that they were that they were in on this you think like these people are all in serious serious trouble so and uh they don't know what to do now
(42:25) because they even if they kill him now if they kill him they won't have there will be no excuse that they can come up with that justifies them tamping down the domestic violence that would come their way because when it happens this time oh yeah the whole thing collapses then people start taking pot shots at FBI at FBI Secret Service this one that one everybody everybody becomes the whole law enforcement apparatus is becomes Open Season to 85 million American Gun Owners or whatever the hell the number is like that's
(43:08) what's gonna happen and I got news for you everybody in power right now is doing that calculus do I want to get shot for the next attempt well I mean that gets to a good point like do you think they'll do it I think choice I don't know see I mean my other it's a good it's a really good question Mar what I'll say that is is the following my modus operandi has been that they're going to allow Trump to win because the for months was being like well the best thing their best play is to let
(43:50) Trump win but leave him with such a [ __ ] show foreign policy domestically and everything else that he can't actually get anything done they just poison pill the [ __ ] out of him the same way that Obama poison pilled him from November to January and 20 between 20 November 2015 to January 2016 well you just g a whole year to do this so that was the NATO Summit and like all the and that's why all these 10year bilateral defense agreements between the EU members NATO members in Ukraine remember all they're
(44:22) all been doing it like all signing individual security guarantees with Ukraine Poland and Romania and the UK and this one and that one why because they're setting up they're trying to set up an art Article Five trigger to ensure that the United States comes in like Rambo without a jockstrap and bails their asses out from another war that they pull they they they they they're fighting against the Russians yeah BL come out today and say that Iran's two weeks away from having a a nuclear weapon yeah of course of
(44:54) course like Ron's been two weeks away from a nuclear weapon for the last you know I don't know I had how old are you 33 okay I'm 56 they've been saying that since I was 33 yeah since the day I was born and they um yeah and it seems were Bor there you go since uh it seems like Trump is is my base case is that they just try to leave him with a complete [ __ ] show fiscally on the economic side they're going to begin to precipitate um an economic crisis and it seems like he's cor he's reading that
(45:36) choreography and I I thought you obviously I'm not the biggest fan but I thought the signal that was sent this week of him seriously considering Jamie Diamond for treasury secretary is a signal like I need a wartime treasury secretary like if we're going to go into this I need a season vet who's been through liquidity crisis and banking crisis um and he's sort of arranging his part of the chessboard thinking that that's what they're going to do well and honestly I I I I have a I have a a really off-color story that I
(46:09) just told in my other interview about when I saw that um Diamond was being considered for treasury secretary because you know what I've been saying about diamond and pal that they're the two leading sovereigntists on Wall Street to get this [ __ ] and thing turned around and that it's they're part of the infrastructure the foundation for how we could turn the Battleship United States away from you know these evil globalists you've got to start with getting control of the monetary system to
(46:35) put Congress into a fiscal crisis because you can't reform anything until you have a crisis and you force the you can't reform Congress in Congress you can't get Congress to vote against themselves you gotta you got have you got to put external pressure on them well how else do you put external pressure on them except by you know giving the Fed chair all the tools he needs to raise interest rates to AA right so well in this case 5 and a half percent and then hold them there and let everybody squirm and now we're steering
(47:03) at a fiscal cliff we're staring at$ 1.1 trillion worth of debt servicing every year and everything else oh by the way folks can't run $ 1.7 trillion doll deficits anymore so time to defund the NGS time to get rid of this the time for everybody to get serious about real honest to God reform on the one hand on the other hand you have um you know so that's I think diamond is part of that and I Diamond has been unbelievably clear about what needs to be done and um when I when I heard that diamond was going to be the uh was that
(47:39) was being you know considered for treasury secretary I called my wife I was was actually in the pathom I was like she's like like come over here she's like no like that's why I just shouted across the room what was going on across the house I'm like like Jamie Diamond is you know like how good am I until I you know your husband is you know brilliant and and sushant and wise and all of these things I was just you know doing my I was just being being me as you know at least in private and she just she just screams back how were you
(48:09) able to sit down on the toilet with balls that big and I'm like one at a time baby I had to slip him in there one at a time and she's like oh you're hilarious I didn't miss a beat I'm like it's just you know like it's just just great it's like and you know again I'm not like it's just I I say that mostly tongue and cheek right but we but I can tell you that of all the things that have been like retweeted at me over the last like five days that has hit my inbox either privately or publicly at
(48:43) least 30 or 40 times and they're all like oh my god dude how did you call that I'm like because I can read a board and uh I was hilarious and that so that tells you Diamond was putting his succession plan together at JP Morgan earlier in the year right I noted when I heard that that he that all these VPS would be moved up into presidency positions and blah blah blah blah blah and the one name one name that wasn't involved and I didn't notice in any public discussion of his succession Diamond succession plan was Mary
(49:21) Erdos Mary Erdos is one of the VPS of you know the what is she VP of of uh I don't I don't remember what division this she's in but I remember talking to a couple of really you know really in the know Wall Street bets and they're like oh she's the snake in the garden she didn't accompany him to Davos this year or she did accompany him to Davos this year because she didn't want him and she was on his arm the entire time why keep your friends keep your friends close and your enemies closer because
(49:49) Erdos was the one that actually managed the Epstein account at so Eros she's not part of the succession plan of JP Morgan really important little these are little little bit little teeny things that if you don't you know and and I wouldn't know this stuff on my own like I get this stuff sent to me I and I and and I I'm so grateful to have just put myself in a position right again we talk about the position you put yourself in by doing this this work like in the decisions you've made previously put you in a position
(50:27) to get get information that comes to you and you're like oh I can work with this oh that makes sense and you know you inspire people themselves to do good work and to you know and that's that's what we're here for you know we always wind up talking you and I always wind up talking about this in a certain way certain level which is that you know this is really important that you know so little of this is about you or me or anything else it's about what we're Inspire we're hoping to inspire
(50:56) other people by doing what we do and then create a create a room that's smarter than the people who think they're the smartest people in the room manipulating us and moving manipulating reality and and and moving the Overton window there where they think because they think they control the overtone window and they don't we do we control the overtone window and that's the big thing yeah and the the best analog to this is like open source software it's going to out compete these closed Source wall Gardens
(51:27) any day of the week and that's I mean up until three decades ago like the wall Gardens the close Source software or War gaming was the dominant structure of of the day but now that we have open source software and open source lines of communication and sort of Hive bines there's no way that they can compete and to your point like they can't come to grips with that and they do not want that to happen at all but it is happening and yeah that's what they think they can they think they can run they can just run their Ser
(52:03) their AI servers at you know you know they just run more AI servers and and do and do and do bad uh relational searches and and and win and it doesn't work that way because databases are dumb and they can be seated with with bad information how much bad yeah I mean there was a somebody wrote a blog post about open AI chat gbt and its limits and I mean open AI is scrape the entire internet history it's using that and it the people creating open AI don't recognize that um most of the content on the internet from the time it was
(52:44) launched is written by people who are not that smart so well there's there's not just that now like if you don't think that the AI Wars are not going to Dev down into Philip K Dick's second variety again and again and again and again and again I urge everybody to go sit down and reread second variety very short one of Phil's early um anti-war um uh short stories you can find it anywhere you can find it for free online it's not not even hard you'll realize that you know it's all about the
(53:18) escalatory nature of weaponry and warfare that you know every every evolution in war becomes a different you know the weapons keep evolving and evolving and evolving and eventually you get to the point where you have you know robots that are indistinguishable from humans and doing infiltration and blah but the AIS are going to be the same thing now you're gonna the next Generations of AIS are going to be programmed to seed bad information into the internet to limit the opportunity to limit the effectiveness of the previous
(53:47) generation Ai and then so on and so on and so on and so on and so on eventually it's all going to just collapse under the weight of its own lack of of uh of good information because you know everything is still gigo right it's always gigo garbage in equals garbage out and if you know how to S if you that's what the intelligence agencies do they think they have a monopoly on seeding bad information the Z guys I got news for you like there's the autistas on for Chan that are just as good if not
(54:17) better now and they understand they're better yeah exactly exactly they understand that they understood a while ago that that's how you win that's how Trump got eled first time around right president exactly exactly exactly no and and uh and and so I'm at that point now where you know yeah okay fine great you think you're gonna win like we can create bad information faster than you can you can process it in the same way that Carl Ro or Dick Cheney whoever said you know we're in the reality creation business I know
(54:56) it's a contributed to to J cheny but I really do think it was Carl Rove that said it originally that we're in the you know we're in the reality creation business and that you're you'll be as we create reality you'll be forever chasing us to try to figure out what we just created and then we'll be on to the next reality um yeah dude we're the ones creating the reality now yeah and we're ahead of you because we can see you you know I was I was I said to um I said to my partner
(55:25) Dexter white the other night we were texting back and forth it was I think it was after Trump got shot this this conversation took place probably was I said you know you know part of the reason why we're so good at this it's not because we're so freaking good it's because we've been doing this for so long and the cast hasn't changed we just know the cast of character so well we can predict what they're going to do before they even do it like these people I mean you know what happens when
(55:48) there's a real changing of the garden we're not like we know Mitch McConnell we know Feinstein we know this one we know this one we know that one okay how does this all work well happens when it's the Next Generation we don't know these people very well we open this conversation with the you know my you know admitted ignorance about the payal mafia so this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about like you know I'm just you know I I'm part of an older generation of of information Warriors
(56:14) for lack of a better term that you know is trading on all of my experience when dealing with these people but this all the same people so it's going to be a very interesting time and I said to him I said there could come a point where you know we might have to work really hard at this he's like thank God because it's not just to be board it means that the board has changed so much that well that's a good thing it's a different board than the one we've been living with our entire lives like I've
(56:45) been dreading this whole I've been dreading this moment in the metaphoric since since I'm nine years old dude like since the Westside Highway fell down and in New York City in 1976 I'm like if we don't have enough money to rebuild the Westside Highway how in the [ __ ] are we going to do everything else that we want to do like what's there going to be for me when I'm 25 I was sitting in the back of my parents 1976 Newport thinking this exact thing on my way to my on my way to my grandparents house as we were doing
(57:13) the holiday thing where we went all around New York City from my father's family in Brooklyn and Manhattan over to my my mom's family in Queens and like I I distinctly remembered this I was like nine or 11 years old thinking this and like you know as we were you know taking the brook I can see the I can see the sign to get on the Brookner Expressway on the way over to oh in my head and it's like one of the few like moments I have from that era of my life that I I can call that image up at a moment's
(57:41) notice and um you know it's it's again shaped who I am and shaped where we're going and what we're doing so yeah so is this is this week a big white pill in your mind um preparing for a moment that turned out to go a different direction o yeah in a way I think I I think so because I think it redpilled for to extend the metaphor a lot of people who didn't want to be you know things were just still comfortable enough you know that I I I I coined the phrase you know comfortable wolves last year in in a moment of
(58:23) frustration with people who were so blackpilled that they just think that you know humanity is is UN is UN un unsavable and I'm like [ __ ] people are comfortable when they're comfortable they don't move but the minute they're not comfortable that's when the thans come out that's when things that's when Real Change Is Possible and I don't see people as sheep I see them as wolves um and I always have and I've always hated that phrase sheeple for example I've always like really we're going to
(58:55) condescend and and insult the very people we're trying to you know Inspire to like go out and fight you know fight the bad guys and we're going to call them [ __ ] and then we're gonna motivate them by what abusing them that's a great that's a great motivational technique you fail at your basic Andrew Carnegie last I checked and as are saying this I mean it's not really completely related to this but maybe but we haven't even touched on what else has happened between our last conversation this
(59:20) conversation which is everything that happened in the UK and France with their elections and it seems like they were they were basically setting up this domino effect where all right we're going to get in the radical left in the UK in France and then we'll take care of trump and like when you talk about the global chessboard like it's like oh [ __ ] the Domino in this whole effect it just got ripped away from us yeah yeah what I will say about that is the following is and Caitlyn long you know reached out to
(59:53) me she like dude we really need to do a podcast I need to understand what's going on in Europe and I'm like okay no problem um Europe didn't go hard left in France and and uh in in the UK they went globalist it just happened to be that they needed to get rid of the globalists on the right in order to give you fake change on the left now in France they got an even worse result than they were hoping for because they got John luk melan Shan who's probably more of a sovereigntist in Marine Leen is he just
(1:00:21) happens to be a sovereigntist from the extreme old left okay what they were hoping for was you know that macron would wind up in the dominant position to form the government right and he's not and that's actually maybe the worst possible outcome for France and a variety of different ways in the UK it was a foregone conclusion that you know the Tories under Boris Johnson and reesi sunak were purposefully destroying themselves to pave the way for cir armor and labor to take over in the you know the least um uh
(1:01:02) enthusiastic um major you know super majority in the in British political history I mean you know um sarmer got fewer votes than any you know recent anybody in recent you know recent prime minister in in politics because the board was so fractured right and it had to be done at that moment so they had to reaffirm dav's control over over Britain they had to reaffirm France's thos control for France and then they were going to push which they did push ursul VL and through again in the EU kill Trump and then
(1:01:38) bring the United States in for the big win uh on how they were going to you know destroy Ukraine or destroy Russia on behalf of Ukraine and um safe to say that that's not part of the plan anymore and they didn't have enough sense to Let vanderland Go by the wayside and and let her um they they couldn't let go of her as an asset which was dumb because you know when the European court of justice the day before the the vote you know comes out and says oh this woman is a criminal and needs to go to jail
(1:02:16) effectively like who do you think allowed that to occur what does that tell you because the European court of justice is a rubber stamp Agency for the year for the eurocrats in Brussels and for them to come out against vland the day before her corination that was a big deal I don't know who's I don't know what knives who you know whose knives got sharpened enough to get that thing through and what that means but I can tell you it's nothing good for her and then she only wins by 41 votes if 20 if how much
(1:02:52) political Capital did she have to expend to get those 20 people to vote for her because it's all it took I mean she only won by 41 votes 401 votes were a majority of 360 what was the uh what was the crime that the European Court oh it was about buying 10 um 10 fizer and madna shots for every man woman and child in all of Europe and that's so they they forced open the that all of the contrac everything unredacted and in complete has to be you know for all for all the the contract and she was in charge of
(1:03:32) all of that and her you know her husband works for a German company that's a subsidiary of fizer yeah that's yeah not yeah she made a lot of money off of the off of the C shot yeah which is another thing like do we have a path towards Justice for that now I mean obviously one of the big Clips going around Twitter this week was Trump calling RFK that was leaked but I'm happy it was leaked like I think uh this is an overt window that needs to be opened up and widened and the discussion needs to be
(1:04:04) laid bare I mean yep I don't think they were talking in the context of the go covid shots particularly but I think I could be lumped into a broader discussion about big Pharma its influence and the products that it's putting on the market yeah I what I'll say is the following um I was let's just go let's like go through the whole thing I was you know I lobbied hard for telsey gber to be his running mate I'm not going to make any bones about it clearly I think in hindsight JD Vance is an excellent
(1:04:40) choice from a strategic perspective I was thinking a little probably a little too tactically um and uh and the same thing goes with RFK I noted a while ago that after RFK visited marago that he went really hard left making himself really unappealing to a lot of you know right-wing Libertarians fine that's good you know why because that's actually RFK strategically splitting Biden's hardcore base this is important because you don't run to the center of Biden if you're RFK and you're trying to
(1:05:32) spoil the race for Biden you want to that's spoiling the race for Trump so RFK going harder hard almost crazy Looney Tunes left makes perfect sense strategically for which is to try and undermine Biden's hardcore base in all the swing States in order to ensure that Trump wins the election for that RFK is probably going to be attorney general or you know something along those lines and go after everybody over covid-19 I think that's what's going to happen because Trump is weak on the vaccine it is a massive
(1:06:19) massive black mark on his record in hindsight but he gains all that political Capital back if he puts RFK Jr in charge of the justice department as attorney general and goes after fizer the same way that he's going to probably put I would Lobby now I think he should put Tulsi gabt in as something like assistant Secretary of State um not Secretary of State but assistant Secretary of State give her a couple of years at the you know in what should have been T Nan's job overseeing NATO overseeing Russia and everything
(1:07:00) else and if that's too much fine Veterans Affairs or something along those lines get her into the get her get her into the administration somewhere where she can get her feet wet prove to everybody that she is who she is and blah blah blah blah and do good work which is all she really wants anyway and go from there I think that that's a if you're you're talking about a Unity cabinet Trump is going to have to pull from Democrats who or you know from people who are nominally Democrats um who who are just trying to do good work and
(1:07:30) just want to save the country and he can he can really really um you know put a down payment on that argument and what he talked about last night the speech I think I think that would be the I think that would be the smart move for him politically and strategically and those people are you know but and those people are are then in a in prominent positions and then we know EX where where we stand and that's fine I mean personally I would love for Tulsi to have a position I think her I mean her experience being a veteran and also
(1:08:06) being anti-war and anti- intervention is a much needed voice than any Administration and yeah absolutely and she's such a and she's such a and and you know she's turned herself into and I I said you know my recent most recent article about her I said I don't see her as a natural public speaker she's someone who has had to work very very hard to become a decent public speaker um but I you know dude I listen to her book like you know it's she's she's she is who she says she is and she has
(1:08:40) always been this person and um you know think she's got a very bright bright future ahead of her as someone to help you know to to lead this thing lead this thing forward but Trump's going to need some some good hardcore Gen X some good hardcore Gen X badass passes you know with a chip on their shoulder in very important positions like we can't just skip over the Gen X and go to and give everything to the Millennials we can't do that you know you H he has to put some hardcore you know some you know
(1:09:11) hard pip hitting you know gen xers to quote marcelis Wallace from Pulp Fiction which seems to keep coming up everywhere today um to get in there and do some do some hard work and um maybe that's what the PayPal Mafia is that's where you know people like you know teal and and musk and others are are going to exert their their influence but uh you know we'll see what is cod we'll see I won't get too far ahead of ourselves but if we get to the to to November and you know the summer violence which I expected is
(1:09:43) going to continue it's not going to get and it's not going to get any easier um you know there's going to be more attempts at Cyber [ __ ] you know bird blue like it's they're going to throw everything at us right between now and November there's going to be an October surprise of some form or another after liore ends in in in September 30th like there's going to be dislocations and they're going to try everything imaginable to you know um Boomerang any any Financial unrest in Europe back
(1:10:19) on the United States and force Powell into a very difficult situation um well that was that that was another encouraging thing this week if we're we're aligned with your thesis which I think I have very much come around to which is like Trump went to Pal was like you're good through your term you're good through 2028 well he was he was good I mean pal I mean honestly to be remember everybody is that once Pal's confirmed by the Senate there's not much the president can do other than change the other than revoke
(1:10:49) the fets charter like that that's I mean he's been convered by the Senate he can't be recalled the president can't recall the FED share um so pal was what what it was Trump's public affirmation of Powell when he had been critical of him previously and people kept asking me like well I don't know about Trump and pal and like you know Trump says a lot of things let's see what happens when he's actually the nominee yeah like what what Trump was doing was telling Powell don't pivot
(1:11:24) don't give Jo Jo way out that's Trump's way of saying those things publicly um I don't know about this power guy you know what I mean like he could like you know that's just the way Trump operates and you got to remember that you you know this is how this is how he rolls so it was very good for him to say that along with you know the news about Diamond potentially being treasury secretary and yada y Yana like you know you brought up a really good point about about having someone who's been through the real wars
(1:11:54) of how to deal with you know Financial crises in as treasury secretary and not one of these you know these academics who will freeze and panic like beraki and Yellen or banki who froze and Yellen who's always been a freaking Kami so right but beri literally froze like when you read Daniel D Martino boot's book it's it's pretty clear that her picture of bernoni when she was at the Fed was that you know he he was out of this depth oh yeah he did not know what was going on that's what um I don't know
(1:12:26) if you ever read this but I'll send you a link my good friend Parker Lois bitcoiner he wrote um a paper called Ender Game and he basically went and dissected the FED minutes that were released 12 years after the fact or maybe 10 years after the fact and just right meticulously went through and um basically highlighted everything uh bernacki said from 2005 through 2012 and ju's depos it to what actually happened he was completely wrong about everything yeah yeah yeah and that beraki was said just Baki was just
(1:13:04) terrible he was not capable of handling they it it's almost like oh look we put the most unqualified man imaginable in charge of the FED at the exact moment when we're going to like destroy the the the dollar Reserve Center like so well that's I I know we're coming up on time here but maybe we should touch on it which is the rumors that I mean that's going back to last Saturday and as a bitcoiner thinking about what would have happened if the assassination temp was successful I think Bitcoin would have tanked wasn't
(1:13:43) successful bitcoin's pumping we're at 67,000 right now um up 15% this week and now you have rumors circling that next week at the Bitcoin conference which Trump will be speaking at on Saturday afternoon that he's he or somebody else is going to make an announcement that Bitcoin will be viewed as a strategic treasury asset under his administration um and it is pretty insane to think that we're at this point where this is even being floated and taken seriously um oh God I just want to shout out to
(1:14:24) one of my patrons here who first put the idea in my head that this was exactly where where they were headed and that tether and Bitcoin where he was doing some Plumbing analysis on the markets about two years ago he said this to me he said he posted up his his his work and everything on our private server and and chat server and he's like I think Bitcoin and tether are being used to undergr the Sofer Sofer Market the repo markets at this point they're being used as collateral and he was the first person to put it in
(1:14:57) my head and then I started seeing other people talking about it I I I you know threw it out there to see if I can get any you know I threw the chum out there to see if I get any you know bites back right to see if it some sharks would you know Chum the water and and uh and here we are and it's become more and more obvious to me that tether was the stable coin that was not executed to remain as the antipode and the liquidity agent for Bitcoin to allow for bitcoin price Discovery in the trade in in markets and
(1:15:32) on exchanges that are approved by federal government Bitcoin is now a strategic asset the same way that gold is um we need collateral we need hard collateral you need you need opportunity cost based collateral in the system and um Bitcoin is a proxy for energy tokenized energy in the same way that oil is tokenized energy right oil Futures toiz energy so very very important and you know this was this was a big deal under Trump in some ways as well that I remember I remember having long discussions early on in Gold goats and guns with extra
(1:16:10) white behind the scenes about how we can see the United States becoming a leader in Bitcoin mining and it was we did this we we and we spitballed that during the Trump during the first season of the Trump show and um we were right I think and uh if he announces that that would be hilarious and cool and awesome and all those things and again I don't care about being right Marty it's not about this is about me this just like but all this stuff keeps happening because you if you can read the board and you
(1:16:43) understand the people right and you understand the incentives then you can make roughly good you can throw big darts at the board and and you're going to be near the bullseye you're you're not gonna be 100% near the Bulls on On Target but I don't think I think you're on it I don't think you're near it um maybe and if I am I am like whatever and but I but you know the business this business is this business is easy you can be right a thousand times in a row and then you can be wrong
(1:17:11) catastrophically once and you're done you know I mean that's the that's the tight RPP you walk when you're in that position and and so you have to so understanding that you have to you know remind remind everyone that these are ideas they're hyp hypotheses that you throw out there and then you discuss them and you error check them and you counterbalance them and you try to balance your deductive and inductive re reasoning in order to come you know to come to you know conclusions that you know could be
(1:17:42) correct and then if they do happen well then you you know you don't the thing is is that yeah every once in a while you you say something in private like I I said you know about my me and my wife and and the bathroom earlier like I I I you know I don't like I don't care like I you don't the market humbles you every day geopolitics humbles you every freaking day there's so much to learn there's so much that you don't know that we all just have a pretense of knowledge and some of us have a pretense
(1:18:14) of knowledge in a particular subset of areas that work but I sit and chat with you about you know we even bring up like the [ __ ] you've already brought up in Bitcoin tonight I hadn't even thought about you know I hadn't even considered oh what would Trump do in terms of it being a strategic asset the minute you said it I'm like of course he would do that and you know what I mean like so you know these are always valuable for me as they are as much as anything else I'm not you know I I I love doing these things
(1:18:42) because I it's the only way I learn anything frankly um and uh you know there are so many smart connected people who are subject matter experts and things that I'm not I'm not I'm I am not one and that I got to learn and we just got to keep doing that every day and eventually you know we'll get close to some version of something that looks like the truth we'll go from there we've got the uh volunteer fire department alarm going off behind me so I can hear yeah I can hear it it should
(1:19:16) aate uh in a few seconds but no it is surreal to see it all come together in this way where qu been talking about this asset as a strategic asset and a part of the geopolitical game theory and seems and again going back to that's what earlier this week I was like who do I need to talk to about this Trump thing I was like Tom Uncle Tom because it is when you again going back to what we said in the beginning of the episode like this timeline that we've been thrust on is completely different than the one they wanted us on and now
(1:19:55) it seems like the conditions to bring about the world that I certainly want to see and I think that you want to see have really improved massively in our favor um due to that horrible thank God that that failed assassination attempt but it's horrible that it got to that point but again like you said they came at the K they missed and now the the world is our oyster and I think really taking of this opportunity that we've been given is imperative and we cannot this is the worst time to get complacent
(1:20:33) to not get on the offensive and and take the ground that we need no I thank you for saying that that's is so very freaking important like we're so used to playing defense that was just like look dude we're the ball we got the ball and we're on the 25 yard line all we got to do is like you know you know we got first and 10 and you know and the refs are in our pockets like you know you can hold up in the front like we can do this um I can come up with bad football metaphors all day long where's bill
(1:21:01) parcel's in three car three three yards in the cloud of dust and we'll like we'll go 25 yards and take 18 minutes to do it you know what I mean and uh how how are we gonna take how can we take 18 minutes off the clock and only go 25 yards and score touchdown um and uh so and um in the early versions of his Giants we went back to the 40 yard 40 yard line first and then went forward um but oh God I watched every one of those freaking games um and bit my nails the entire time but yeah know we're we
(1:21:34) really do have um a great we have a a great kind of weight has been lifted in some ways like somebody mentioned earlier that like a near-death experience is one of those things that changes the way you view the world and the way you view yourself and everything else and some study I was listening to somebody talk about this and it they become liberating they don't become they don't make you scared they make you liberated like you know and it's just it's it's the hero's journey it's the chambellan hero's
(1:22:05) journey that the the the hero has to face their own death before they can confront the the villain like before they can effectively confront their their Shadow Y and Shadow in that respect um it's very important we do that and I think um I think we all St I think we all stared at that the other day and some just start stared it beforehand yeah no it's important to mention like Trump literally had a near-death experience as an individual but I think America had a near-death experience like the America that used to
(1:22:38) exist and that we're fighting for would have been completely shot in the head like preferably wasn't just that individual metaphorically have executed the myth of America and I've been saying for a long time that they have to do that this is about you know it's at a big idea level right it's always been the P private versus public formation of capital in the banking within the banking system and then government by the of the people or by the people for the people where individual sovereignty or Collective in
(1:23:25) a sense our people you know the America is that one example that stands out that has to fail because this way it validates all of their shitty collectivist ideas you know well look see it didn't work it didn't work think about you know I was thinking about this last month when I wrote the the newsletter last month and you know I was talking about aftermath of World War I and World War II and that potentially World War III how gold was used as a means by which to punish Germany to pay outsized reparations for world wars I and World
(1:24:07) War I okay Bretton Woods did did they did the exact same thing they did after World War II they did after World War I where they returned the dollar to the pre-war conversion rate you know even though our debts were even though the number of dollars in existence did not justify this gold should have been $200 right and that's clearly what they want to do to Russia post this environment hold the price of gold down well below its its real PL its real rate in order to Institute reparations on Russia and drain it of all of its Vitality by
(1:24:43) forcing reparations onto Ukraine that's what they were going to do they wanted to make Russia pay at you know real rates for gold while issuing shitty currency at you know while paying for all the all Russia's assets at one at 10 cents of the dollar it's a classic colonialist play and you think about that and you're like oh yeah well that's you know they needed to destroy so they blame the gold standard both times is the point they blame the gold standard both times as to why everything went bad when it wasn't
(1:25:19) the gold standard that was the [ __ ] problem it was the price at which they priced it was the fix ing the price of gold to their shitty currency and overvaluing the crappy currency relative to Gold that's what created the problem they did it on purpose Churchill knew exactly what he was doing in 1925 and kanes and Company knew exactly what they're doing at Briton Woods in 1946 and they knew and they knew exactly what they were intending to do in 2025 or 2026 when they finally defeated Russia on Ukraine okay so they
(1:25:50) understand what the what what what the gig is and the same thing goes for Bitcoin as goes for gold okay you know you keep hard collateral ass collateralizable assets at well below their clearing rate and you know then use that overvaluation to your advantage to steal real assets um and then blame and then and then and at the same time demonize the very thing that you're trying to accumulate because they bought they got all the [ __ ] gold when they did all this [ __ ] and so they metaphorically they want to do the same I same thing to the
(1:26:28) ideas that under Gir The Constitution of the United States Britain has never ever [ __ ] accepted the American Revolution they have not accepted the terms of the surrender period they still want their colonies back [ __ ] them they can't have them and everybody needs to have that spirit in their freaking Hearts guiding them forward because they just tried to [ __ ] kill Trump [ __ ] you no you don't get my country yeah period And I think luckily for us a lot of people have this mentality now they may not be focused on the UK
(1:27:09) specifically but there's some broad-based fire in everybody's belly that they intuitively understand that I I just can I just I just been study it long enough I know that it's like they're still angry about this it's not and France isn't happy either and all the rest of that's fine but you know in in particular Britain and they need to be and you know and they they need to be um they need to be called out for it like MI6 created and Hillary Clinton created 90% of what the Democrats today
(1:27:44) who believe the the 34% of Democrats today that believe that Trump staged his own assassination attempt are the people who were gaslit by Hillary Clinton and Christopher Steel in MI6 okay okay it's it's just it's that simple like it doesn't have to be a more complicated story than that MI6 wants Russia destroyed and they're willing to do anything to do that to to get through that to to make that happen including help assist the zist to create a coup against their former Colony yeah and install because at the
(1:28:23) end of the day Nikki Haley and and and Hillary Clinton that's a British presidency that's a British Remnant presidency that's an old neoconservative British indistinguishable from British foreign policy going back to the milary group and all that stuff that's that's indistinguishable from cesil rhods and then the then the milary group and Churchill came grew out grew out of all that and nothing has changed somehow we wound up with Britain's foreign policy well now something massive has
(1:28:55) changed where they [ __ ] missed it is crazy they [ __ ] missed dude and like I didn't I didn't get to get it in earlier but like think about like you just gave the double Birds think about what the double bird to this globalist agenda it would be if he put Tulsi RFK other Centrist based people in positions of power and they just went forward and we're like all right we're dismantling all this [ __ ] you yeah we're not out of the woods yet but you can definitely see the light at the on the horizon you can and you know
(1:29:38) it's a light that I I I I saw plan I saw path to get us to three years ago and um it was a feeling I feel like I feel I feel like I whenever I I flash back to that moment right after Powell raised the reverse REO rate Five basis points I started to look at what happened and I said and I had that moment like in inspector Finch at the end of V for Vendetta and he goes like through the whole story and he goes I don't know it was just a feeling that's exactly the way I feel like every time I think about that
(1:30:11) moment I was like that's exactly the image that comes into my head and I'm like oh there's no [ __ ] way that I'm right about this like there there's no way I'm right about this like [ __ ] off with that you're just insane like I said that to myself and I said that myself for literally a year and a half I'm like y'all need to ever check me on this I I have to be nuts and here we are today getting less nuts by the day by the day oh Marty I'm exhausted to be honest with you um I I'm gonna have to
(1:30:42) run dude so yeah um I do as well my uh the boys just hopped out of the shower after coming back from the beach so I should go be a good dad yeah it's been it's been a lovely chat I'm really glad you reached out to me and I wouldn't have missed this for the World um as always uh but I am I've been talking to the microphone now literally straight for five hours and I I've got to go I need a cigar go have a cigar enjoy your weekend and I'm sure we'll do it again at some point soon absolutely we will
