LIVE: Iran Bombs Israel, Dockworkers on Strike & Hurricane Weather Weapons… GET READY! · Man in America Podcast

5:10
Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to man in America. I'm your host, Seth Hullhouse. Folks, we've got a lot to cover in tonight's show with what's happening in Israel. There's a massive bombing and even a mass shooting in Israel at the hands of Iran. Supposedly, the mainstream media is at the hands of Iran, but we're gonna be looking behind the scenes and kind of playing out a few different ideas about that.
5:36
We have the strike. Right? So the port workers strike, which started today, and I'm surprised it's not getting more mainstream coverage probably because don't want you to know about it and because, oh, yeah, right now is the, the vice president debate. So, I commend anybody who's watching my show right now instead of the vice president debate. I'll I'll talk about the two party, you know, system in a little bit here on today's show.
6:02
I've got some opinions on it, which I wanna share with you some recent understandings of that. But, also, we're gonna be diving into the hurricane, and just some wild stuff surrounding the hurricane. And to me, in a lot of ways, the hurricane looks like a Lahaina Maui fire two point o, and so we'll be diving into that as well. Before we jump into today's show, folks, just have a few quick messages for you. First off alright.
6:29

8:10
Can you repeat that? Can you repeat that? It might be a good time to just get your hearing checked out. So, again, folks, go to hear.com/seth. Alright.
8:18
So getting into tonight's show, we've got a lot to go over, like, you know, a handful of bigger topics to go over. And I I will say, though, you know, look, if if you watch my show enough, you know that I've got a positive outlook. I really do believe that, you know, we were at the times where a lot of evil is being eliminated from our world, and that on the other side of this, there's going to be something much better. Right? If you go back to, like, the days of Noah, which I really feel like that we're living in the days of Noah, the just the the celebration of evil that we see all around us, you go back to you look at those days and what happened.
8:57
Right? So Noah was called upon by God. He said, look, prepare. Prepare because I'm, you know, basically gonna wipe out all the evil on earth with this massive flood, and I need you to survive so that you can get to the other side of that. Because I have an important rule for you because after we clear out all this evil, we gotta kick start the human race again.
9:18
Okay? And that's an important job. So you need to prepare for that, and and I really feel like that's where we're at right now is that as I look around, I I can't believe just it's just chaos after chaos after chaos. And if, honestly, if I wasn't someone who believes in God, I'd be freaking out all the time right now. But because I really do believe there's a higher plan, that gives me a lot of calm amidst the storm.
9:44
But I really do believe that these are the days of Noah, And part of being in the days of Noah is that the evil gets wiped out. Right? And I think that that's what we're seeing right now, and they're getting really, really desperate. But in this desperation, there's all kinds of crazy stuff happening. We're on the brink of World War three.
10:01
We've got these massive weather systems moving through, which I I genuinely believe are created and that there's an agenda behind them. It's again, it's like the fires out in Maui. There's no way that was just natural. I'm actually I'm releasing an interview this week with an author and a publisher, specifically on, like, the the true story of what was happening out in Maui, and how it was among many other things. It was a massive land grab.
10:28
Okay? So we're gonna be getting into the hurricane looking at this, but, you know, going back to the overall idea of just that this is a battle of good and evil, and that these are the days of Noah. This is what I'm seeing. So, you know, tonight's show is basically like, hey, folks. Here's all the chaos that's happening in our country right now because we need to be aware of it.
10:48
Right? That that's really important. Like, I don't want to just stick my head in the sand and and just pretend that none stuff is happening, but I'm also not gonna live my life full of fear and and get, you know, to a place where I'm just, like, stockpiling guns and ammo in my basement and not talking to my neighbors and, you know, becoming a Red Clues. Like, that's that's not the right direction either. So we're gonna be talking about this this chaos, but also how to look at it.
11:15
So I wanna first start with what's happening over with with Israel. Pardon me. So this is interesting. Okay. So there was a a massive bombing.
11:27
Right? So here's one video.
11:29
Speaker 2: Okay. Okay, guys. We gotta get off the roof. These are coming down right next to us here.
11:35
Seth Holehouse: So there's been a lot of videos
11:36
Speaker 2: coming down. One just about we gotta go inside.
11:39
Seth Holehouse: Showing a lot of a lot of bombs going on. Right? No. Sorry there. And and these are bombs that are actually, you know, somehow evading the Iron Dome.
11:49
So here's what the patriot voice has has summarized this with. He says Iran has officially launched a massive ballistic missile attack over a hundred along with UAVs and drones into Israel. This is in retaliation for the attack on the Iranian, proxy Hezbollah HQ being destroyed in Lebanon. It's important to note that the Iron Dome is not made to withstand attacks from ballistic missiles, so it is failing at providing adequate protection. Clearly, this is a very serious threat because Netanyahu has apparently departed on one of his planes according to unconfirmed reports.
12:24
All Israeli citizens have been told to shelter in place. On top of that, there's a mass shooting. Actually, I'll show you. Here's the, this is the mass shooting. There's a couple of bodies laying on the ground.
12:33
It's not that nothing gruesome, but this is this is also happening No. Simultaneous. So I I believe, what I've heard so far is that the death toll from that shooting has been, you know, in the double digits, like, least 10 plus people. And and, you know, Israel's not a place where you hear mass shootings very often, so I'm sure that this is coinciding with the attack, but going back to the post here, there's something crazy going on. So here's a picture.
13:15
Actually, I was gonna pull it up for you. Never mind. So, basically, I'm take a step back and look at this because when I look at wars these days and I I've been going through a process, and I won't go into any details of just trying to, like, deconstruct what really happened in our wars because what I've come to the conclusion of is that if you think that the news that we're being fed right now is fake, what about the history that we've also been taught? Like, you know, I'm not talking mean, well, of course, get into Tartaria and some of those things, which I'm gonna be doing some more shows on that because it's fascinating, but I I honestly think that our history is even more fake than our news. And if you look back at the wars, I what I really think has happened is regardless of what war it was, whether it in the Napoleonic wars or, you know, the crusades or World War one, World War two, is that we what we've been fed today is a carefully crafted idea, a carefully crafted narrative and picture of what happened in those wars.
14:19
And I have to remind myself a lot and remind you is that, you know, there's a documentary that came out, you know, that it was kinda going around called all wars are bankers' wars, and I think that we have to remember that. So if you look at what's happening with Israel, you look at what's happening with Iran, you know, I I don't take these things at face value. I I really don't because, you know, even with with Hezbollah, right, we found out that, you know, in the or sorry, Hamas. Right? That Hamas was being funded by Israel, and you go back to October 17, and I'm not saying that innocent people didn't didn't die.
14:56
Right? They did, But to me, it was a false flag event. Right? It was no different than nine eleven from the, you know, perspective that it was allowed to happen. Now, you know, we're not gonna get into, like, you know, whether it was coordinated by Mossad and the Israeli government.
15:11
Likewise, I'm not gonna get, you get into details of, you know, was 09:11 coordinated by the CIA and our own government. Like, it's a different different show, different story. But fundamentally, though, it was because they won an excuse for a war. And if you look at what happened with October 7, it was, hey. You know, great reason for a war.
15:28
And so if you look at what's happening with Iran, you know, firing, you know, I don't necessarily know what's really happening there. I mean, it looks like Iran is doing this. It looks like they're dropping the bombs on on Israel, but you have to take a step back and think, okay. If all wars are bankers' wars, who is this benefiting and what's going on here? But what's also crazy, is that we we saw recently that, you know, the Mossad in Israel had done the pager attacks, which is just crazy that they actually were able to intercept the shipment of pagers, implant some sort of explosive and some sort of, you know, signal they could use to activate the explosive, and that's how they took out a bunch of these these terrorists.
16:09
Right? So what's also kinda crazy, and I'll I'll pull this up, is that so that Iran simultaneously launched a cyber attack alongside the missile strikes against Israel. So this is kinda wild. So fake text messages were sent to Israeli phones falsely informing citizens that airstrikes had ended and advising them to leave shelters. So this I mean, to me, this is just that's just pure evil.
16:38
Like, I don't care what side of the war you're on. Like, this is targeting citizens. Like, this is targeting the innocent people, and this is also a really important point as we're looking at, you know, analyzing what's behind these wars and everything. Unfortunately, the reality of all the wars throughout history is it's people like you and I that are the cannon fodder. Right?
17:00
These these elites, these these battling factions of the cabal, they'll sacrifice us, like, so willingly. Like, as we're gonna see, you know, with what's happening, with the hurricane. You know, they they have no problem killing and maiming and and doing whatever it wants. Actually, it's it's part of their goal. Right?
17:18
If their goal is depopulation, it's like, okay. Great. How can we take out even more citizens? How can we take out even more of these these, you know, kind of useless eaters, you know, along this? So the fact that they were using these fake text messages sent to just the phones of citizens that get your average people to be like, oh, wow.
17:39
We got a message from the Israeli government, and it's okay for us to go out in the streets. You know, these are innocent people. Right? And this is like again, it doesn't matter what country is. It's the same reason why when they did the they did the the pager explosions.
17:53
I'm asking the questions of, like, how reckless is this? Because what if that guy with the pager is sitting next to a little kid in a grocery store, and that pager, you know, go he's sitting on his hip, which is head height for a four year old kid. You know, who who's gonna take responsibility for that? So it's just it's just insane. Right?
18:10
It's absolutely crazy that this is going on, but my concern with this is that they need a World War three. Right? When I say they, it's it's when you the bankers, the the elites, the cabal, whatever name you wanna call it, you know, the the evil people that are hiding within governments, within religions, and, you know, all over the world, they need a World War three. They need an excuse to reset economies. They need an excuse to redraw political lines and redraw boundaries of countries.
18:40
And fundamentally, though, they need an excuse to collapse the nation states as they push forward some sort of, you know, centralized one world government where individual nation states don't exist anymore. And, you know, they need a reason. They need something to pull America into a war so they can start, you know, taking our young men again, start drafting again, and just, you know, destroy America, which is, of course, you know, as we know, it's part of their overall plan. You know, they need a reason to have some sort of may potentially kinetic attack on American soil. I mean, this is this is crazy, but the here's the thing, is that what happens with this is that how this escalates into World War three is that you have Israel.
19:23
So, you know, supposedly, what we're we're witnessing is Iran attacking Israel. Israel then comes to The United States and they say, hey, United States, we need you we need your help. You know, please come help us. And as you know, most, you know, American politicians are very loyal to Israel. It's a different show.
19:43
But fundamentally, though, what happens is that America says, hey. Okay. You're our ally. And so then America gets involved in the war, and then Iran goes to Russia and China, and they say, hey. Look.
19:53
You know, we attacked Israel because we're having to, you know, head to head with them. They pulled in The United States. So Russia and China, we need you to to back us up now. And there you go. Now we've got World War three.
20:05
So and we're we're this close, folks. Like, we're this close to that kind of a scenario happening, which I don't wish upon anybody. Because, unfortunately, at the end of the day, the only people that win when we have world wars are the ones that are funding both sides of it. Like, those are the winners of the wars. So, you know, the the people on both sides are the losers.
20:26
Right? So, anyway, I my I'm you know, I I pray that we don't get into World War three, but it's just you can see that everything they're doing is they're trying to push us into this. So, again again, this is just part of the chaos. Right? This is part of the chaos as I believe the deep state is weakening.
20:46
Right? The cabal, they're they're losing control. They're losing control of the narrative. They're getting desperate, so we're seeing more pushes for World War three. I think there's also there's a a massive effort to find any excuse to either cancel the election in November or to change the election laws like what we saw with COVID, etcetera, and a war would be the perfect excuse for that.
21:10
So there's another perspective for you. So I I'm gonna jump into the hurricane now because as I mentioned, I just, late last week, finished an interview with two fantastic individuals about looking at what really happened in Maui. And fundamentally, though there's a lot of different reasons behind this, what it seemed like it was was a land grab. Right? It was that that land was a very you know, the land where where that city, you know, this Lahaina especially was was an extremely valuable area for the elites.
21:43
And so, you know, the thing is is that this is America. You can't come take my land. Like, you know, this is my land. You can't come take it. If if you're some developer wanting to build a Las Vegas out there or whatever it is, you're gonna have to pay me a lot of money for my land because I'm not gonna leave here.
21:58
This is my family heritage. It's like, oh, okay. Tell you what then. How about we change a bunch of laws beforehand, cause a massive fire, most likely using some sort of directed energy weapons, fry everyone up, then use some weather modification to whip up the winds to make sure the fire is, like, extra deadly. And it's like, oh, sorry.
22:17
You know, everything's burnt to the ground, and your dog is dead, and your neighbors, and, you know, everything else has just gone to hell. So, yeah, it's gonna be a little bit hey. Don't worry, though. We raised, like, a couple hundred million dollars for the, you know, for the relief, but that's not gonna go to you, though. That's gonna go to our redevelopment programs because we're gonna take this land that we just raised, and we're gonna turn it into Las Vegas.
22:40
Now my concern, though, is that something very similar is happening with these hurricanes. Now I'll tell you, though, I'm I don't wanna take away from the victims of the hurricane, like, at all. Actually, I I think this is giving them due credit. Right? This is giving them due credit and saying that, look.
22:56
Your government is against you. Right? The reason why you can't get your power back on is because we've shipped all of our transformers, all of our backup equipment for our grid over to Ukraine. Right? So it wasn't just the artillery and everything sent over there.
23:09
It was it was a lot more than that. So I think, though, honestly, that that, you know, like, look. If I was someone that had my house destroyed and lost everything because of some freak accident, if I found out that the government was behind causing the accident and there is this really kind of nefarious agenda behind it, I I would not stop digging and hunting until I figured out who did it and how to have justice. So I'm gonna start with a video. It's a five minute video from Greg Reese.
23:39
You're probably familiar with Greg Reese. If you're not, he's part of the Infowars network, and he does these incredible four to five minute videos that take the current topic and summarize, like, the key points of what's going on, and he paints a really powerful picture. So I'm gonna play this video by Greg Reese. I'm gonna full screen it for you, because it's just his videos are great, and they're worth looking at full screen. So we're gonna watch this.
24:05
It's about five minutes long, and then we'll go from there. So here, check it out.
24:39
Speaker 3: We have had the technology to create, control, and steer hurricanes for decades. Project Cirrus is the first official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the US military. The official theory was that by changing the temperature outside the eyewall of a hurricane, which they did by seeding the clouds with various compounds such as silver iodide, a decrease in strong winds will result. On 10/13/1947, project Cirrus targeted a hurricane heading out to sea.
25:19
Approximately 180 pounds of dry ice was dropped into clouds. The crew then reported a pronounced modification of the cloud deck, and the hurricane abruptly changed direction and made landfall near Savannah, Georgia. The public blamed the government. Irving Langmuir, who pioneered General Electric's atmospheric research department and admitted that the project was about learning how to weaponize the weather, also claimed the reversal of the hurricane had been caused by project Cirrus, but the government denied it for twelve years. After a short delay, the project officially continued.
26:01
And in 1965, project Storm Fury had targeted hurricane Betsy for seeding. On that day, the storm immediately changed direction and made landfall in Southern Florida. Congress blamed it on project storm fury, but the government claimed that the hurricane shifted before they ever had a chance to seat it. And after two months of congressional hearings, the project was allowed to continue. In 1997, US defense secretary William Cohen admitted we have the technology to control the weather, including earthquakes and volcanoes.
26:42
The US government has placed gag orders on employees of the National Weather Service. In February, after hurricane Sandy weakened to a tropical storm, microwave imagery shows a thick red beam immediately followed by Sandy growing into a category one hurricane and taking an unexplained left turn into New Jersey. The push towards alternative energy demands more lithium. And according to the US Geological Survey, the United States has over 6,000,000 tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
27:24
Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world, but the biggest problem is that people live there, and they don't want their quiet towns turned into lithium mines.
27:36
Speaker 4: People in Chariville have been pushing against a proposed lithium mine for the last several years, but everyone we spoke with here said it's too divisive of an issue to share their opinion on camera. Cherryville is a small, quiet town.
27:52
Speaker 5: I think that's good that we keep it small.
27:54
Speaker 4: So quiet, many don't feel comfortable speaking out against Piedmont Lithium's proposed mining operation nearby.
28:01
Speaker 5: I think we're a silent majority. I think a lot of people are afraid to say anything about it because they are bringing a lot to the town as far as money.
28:10
Speaker 3: Last year, the Department of Defense entered a $90,000,000 agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation's battery supply chain, specifically from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, starting by 02/2025. This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods. While federal government spends billions on foreign wars and illegal immigrants, they simply cannot be bothered with the health and well-being of the American people, especially those living on coveted mineral rich land. Reporting for Infowars, this is Greg Reese.
29:06
Seth Holehouse: Yes. You gotta you gotta love Greg Reese and the work that he does, but this makes a really, really important point. Right? Because, again, if you look at the wildfires in Lahaina, if you look at the fires that happened in Paradise, you know, I've got family in Australia. Right?
29:23
So the areas that if you recall, I think it was about what, two years ago or so, I forget, it's all blurred together, They had the massive massive wildfires in Australia, and they also had these insane flooding. They had these things called rain bombs, which were, you know, this new weather phenomena that basically cleared out this whole area where they're planning on building a rail system along the coast. And so if you look at the the UN's plan for the in America. Right? I'm not sure if there's a there's a specific map.
29:53
Maybe you've seen it where it outlines, basically, how they want us to be in these very, very localized regions, these very small regions, and they want the rest of our nation to be open for kind of whatever they wanna do with it, not for us, though. And so I think that what we're gonna see, though, is we're we're gonna see a continuing of this type of thing happening. Right? Look at East Palestine, right, where a lot of folks have had to move out of East Palestine because of the poisoning there. Look at the wildfires out in California that have happened.
30:23
Look at the wildfires that or the fire in, Maui that happened. Look at the hurricanes happening right here. I mean, to me, if you look at the patterns of all of this, what I'm seeing is an intensity an intensity in these natural disasters, which, you know, as, you know, Greg Reese went into, it's not some conspiracy theory to say that our government can modify, direct, you know, strengthen, weaken, even create hurricanes. Right? You know, if you've done some deep dives into, you know, say, Dane Wiggington or geo you know, geoengineering watch, his website, if you looked into HARP, and this is just the stuff that's more publicly available.
31:06
I mean, we have no idea what kind of other technology they have, but it's it's funny because it seems like when you when you tell someone that, oh, yeah, the government can change the weather, if they're not someone that's well researched, they're gonna say, oh, come on. What a silly conspiracy theory. But as you saw in the the video, and I've done deep dives in this before, they absolutely can. You can look at the patents for it. Like, they have they have the patents for everything.
31:30
You can say, oh, you know, back in the fifties, they were doing this stuff. It's like, yeah. They were, and now it's being used against us. Right? So here's another, you know, short video I wanted to show you about the whole land grab idea.
31:42
So this is a woman. It's about a minute and twenty seconds, but just check this out.
31:47
Speaker 6: Hey. Did you know that Asheville, North Carolina, they have this affordable housing plan. Right? And it was actually updated on September the thirteenth of twenty twenty four, right before the hurricane. Crazy.
32:01
So your favorite witch we got to knowzian and I clicked on that button right there that's on this website. You could go visit yourselves and it popped up this beautiful plan. Here's the table of contents. And I just got a little curious on a couple of things. And then I found this lovely page right here and it talks about displacement of all forms.
32:23
This includes property demolished. You have other things like your property being seized. And then there's other things such as a natural disaster or climate related issues. I wanted to look at some strategies that they are talking about in order to develop land. So they have this thing called land baking.
32:44
Well, it's not technically legal in North Carolina so they said that they have to get creative to find ways to acquire property. I don't know, like maybe a hurricane? By controlling the land, a public entity can potentially impose a deed restriction that aligns with the affordability and community development goals.
33:10
Seth Holehouse: Yeah. There you go. That's another thing actually it's interesting is that when you look at these situations like this, what you find is that often there's this legal trail. Right, that you'll find that in a region. So just like what we saw out in Maui, for instance, is that before this happened, right, before the, you know, the fires came about, that there was this, you know, this series of, you know, for for year long, you know, multiple years of setting everything up.
33:38
Right? It's similar to the great taking by David Webb, where he's explaining I'm not sure if you've seen the the documentary, read the book, or watched the interview I did with him, but he's explaining how the the legal structure is already in place for the banks to seize our assets as soon as there's some sort of collapse scenario. Right? So you find that it's it's always there. There's always a trail where you can see what they're doing.
34:02
The problem is not enough people see it, and so no one gets held accountable for it, unfortunately. But I mentioned let me pull up for you really quickly because I mentioned that, you know, with regards to the the power infrastructure. Right? So here here he goes, you know, a a post from Amuse. He said, okay.
34:18
So communities across the South are being told to prepare for extended power outages as a result of a massive massive short of critical electrical equipment. It turns out the Biden Harris regime hasn't just sent the bulk of our artillery shells to Ukraine. They've also sent the nation's stockpile of critical electrical equipment. So The US has always kept a stockpile of critical electrical equipment, like transformers and switch gears, to quickly restore power in the aftermath of disasters such as hurricanes, right, or is, like, such as the hurricane Helene. So now with 360 substations in desperate need of new transformers, the country should be ready to respond.
34:56
But here's the catch. The Biden Harris administration recklessly drained our stockpile by sending these crucial resources to Ukraine. So while they're prioritizing foreign aid, millions of Americans could be left in the dark for months suffering through extended power outages because of their poor decision making. Once again, it's America last under this regime. Oh, and don't get me started on selling our nation's strategic petroleum supply to China.
35:22
So this is the thing. This is you know, I I've long kinda held the, you know, belief that the Uke one of the the goals of the Ukraine war is to drain our reserves. Right? To drain you know, obviously, they're sending billions of dollars over there, but that's not it. It's about draining our reserves for militaries, ammunition, you know, all kinds of, you know, like, war type materials that are needed to fight wars, right, not just ammunition, oil, right, that we're selling off to China.
35:52
Here we go. Power infrastructure grid stuff sending over to Ukraine. It's almost as if, call me a conspiracy theorist, but it's almost as if a foreign enemy or someone hostile towards The United States has a hold of our current administration, and they're using them to deplete America and make America right for the taking. It seems to look that way. Alright?
36:15

You know, if you can't you don't have access to food, which might be a scenario, and what we're talking about with these port strikes, could be useful.
37:52
Okay. So getting into the next, the next thing to talk about here. So you've probably heard by now this discussion of the of these the strike. Okay. So here's here's a post from John Rich.
38:04
He says, this is the president of the dock workers from Maine to Texas. They go on strike today, the first time since 1977. This stops all shipping from coming ashore and the entire Eastern Seaboard all the way down to the Gulf Of Mexico. I suggest you stock up today on what you might need. So I'm gonna play this for you because this guy is the head of the, I guess, the union.
38:31
Right? The dock workers union that is specifically. I'll have more information about him, but this is a minute thirty eight. Watch this because this describes what's happening right now. And if you haven't seen this video, make sure you watch it, make sure you share it because this particular video is is crazy.
38:49
Check this out, what he has to say.
38:50
Speaker 7: These people today don't know what a strike is.
38:53
Speaker 6: Right.
38:55
Speaker 7: When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port, a lockdown. You know what's gonna happen? I'll tell you. First week, be all over the news every night. Boom boom.
39:09
Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls start closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes.
39:25
They can't do this. Everything in The United States comes on a ship. They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The steel is not coming in.
39:38
The lumber is not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are. Now I have the president screaming at me. I'm putting a Taff Harley on you.
39:53
Go ahead. Taff Harley means I have to go back to work for ninety days after cooling you off, period. Do you think when I go back for ninety days, those men are gonna go to work on that pier? It's gonna cost the money the company's money to pay their salaries while they go went from 30 moves an hour, maybe to eight. They're gonna be like this.
40:13
Who's gonna win here in the long run? You're better off sitting down, and let's get a contract, and let's move on with this world. And in today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you, and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does.
40:30
Seth Holehouse: These That those are some intense words. I will cripple you. K. Now watch this. Here's the same guy.
40:36
Right? So he he's the long term president. Okay? Here's an an an interview. This is forty four seconds, but this is here he goes again.
40:45
Speaker 8: You're worried that this strike
40:47
Speaker 7: the capital to settle this thing.
40:48
Speaker 8: Are you worried that this strike is gonna hurt the everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the reach the export market? They're telling me that they're gonna hurt the farmers.
40:56
Speaker 2: Start to realize who the longshoremen are. Right? Nobody cares
40:59
Speaker 9: about gave a about us until now when they
41:03
Speaker 2: finally realized that the chain is being broke now. Cars won't come in. Food won't come in. Clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs?
41:14
Half the world. And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them. And we're here a hundred and thirty five years and brought them where they are today, and they don't wanna share.
41:29
Speaker 8: Do you worry that this Gosh.
41:32
Seth Holehouse: Now what's crazy is this guy's is Harold Daggart is his name. So in digging a little bit, so he's the ILA boss, okay, who pledged to cripple United States. So turns out that he owns a 76 foot yacht, a Bentley, and gets paid over $900,000 a year. So he was acquitted on RICO charges after the main witness against him, mobster Lawrence Ricci, was found decomposing in a car trunk in New Jersey. Now I don't know.
42:01
You know, is he guilty of that? I have no idea. The guy's obviously still free. But to me, like, when I hear that guy talking, if I were to close my eyes and think, okay. What am I listening to?
42:11
Like, I feel like I was listening to some sort of Italian mafia boss explaining why you're gonna run the city how he wants the city run. But this is serious, though. So I've got the next one to jump into those. Like, what does this actually mean? Okay?
42:24
Like, okay. We can talk about strikes, and he can make these threats. Okay. Maybe, you know, are those threats real? Or is it just something that he's just puff you know, puffing his chest because he thinks it's gonna move the needle in in the negotiation?
42:36
So there's a the Kobeisi letter actually has this really good thread I'm gonna read through because this really helps understand what's happening with this strike. Okay. So they say, it has officially begun. Over 50,000 port workers across The United States are now on strike for the first time since 1977. These ports handle nearly 40% of all US imports, and it could cost The US up to $5,000,000,000 per day.
43:03
So what does it mean for the economy? Well, for some background, port workers are on strike because of failed contract negotiations. In June, the ILA, a union that represents port workers, suspended talks with the United States Maritime Alliance. On September 30, the contract officially expired without a deal. The current ILA contract has union members making a range of between 20 and $37 an hour.
43:31
So depending on seniority, a longshoreman can make between $1.50 and $250,000 annually under the current contract terms. Port insiders say the ILA is targeting an increase larger than 32% over six years. Roughly 38 of all US ports are currently processed through the East And Gulf Coast ports. JPMorgan estimates the strike will cost the economy 3,800,000,000.0 to 4,500,000,000.0 per day. This means a week long strike could cost over 20,000,000,000.
44:04
I know these numbers, you know, say 20,000,000,000. It's like, well, yeah, they just sent, like, 200,000,000,000 over to Ukraine, so who cares? It's like, yeah. That that's fair, but it's still important. So agriculture is an industry that's heavy heavily reliant on East Coast ports.
44:18
So 2,600,000 metric tons of soybeans were imported through these ports in 2023. Also, 1,950,000 metric tons of poultry were imported here. Food inflation could rebound again if the strike lasts. Continuing, here are some of the top the top US importing companies through the East And Gulf Coast ports. Walmart leads the list along with the other large retailers like IKEA, Home Depot, Dollar General, and Amazon.
44:46
Right? So this is an interesting list here of the top US importing companies exposed to the impending port strike. So the top one is Walmart, then IKEA, Samsung, Bob's Discount Furniture, funny enough, LG, Home Depot, Continental Tire, Hyundai, Dollar General, GM, and Amazon. Continuing export markers are also markets are also heavily reliant on these ports. So China receives 1,910,000 metric tons of exports from these ports, and Indonesia receives 1,300,000 metric tons.
45:22
Various countries around the globe are gonna feel the impact of this strike. So each year, more than 3,800,000 metric tons of bananas arrive at ILA handled ports or 75% of the nation's bananas. Nearly 90% of imported cherries, 85% of canned food, 82% of hot peppers, and 80% of chocolate will arrive through these ports, so consumers will feel the impact. This brings us back to the below chart. Could this port strike along with an aggressive Fed pivot spike a rebound in inflation as seen in the nineteen seventies?
45:58
In '74, inflation rose to near 8% before falling back to 2% only to spike back to 10% in 1980. The Fed must avoid this. So the port strike is yet another factor that will contribute to market volunteer volatility in into year end. Between the election, Fed interest rate speculation, now the strike, we are trading the volatility. So concluding with this, if the strike lasts for more than a month, it would cost The US over a hundred and $30,000,000,000.
46:29
This is one of the largest strikes The US has seen in a matter of decades. Okay? And so people are already responding to this. Right? So here is a video of, Costco.
46:41
Right? So this is a place for you just you know, you need to have sound, but this is this is just people in line at Costco. This is a I'm not sure where this is located. Massive. But look at the size of this line.
46:57
Right? Because people are they're reading the news, and they're saying, oh, okay. They they watched that guy's video, and they're like, oh, crap. I better go buy some toilet paper. I go better buy some canned food.
47:08
And, like, folks, this right here, you see this? Okay. Okay. Let me just find that line right there for you. I'm gonna pause it there.
47:15
This right here is why I'm so big on preparedness. Right? Because I've already bought my toilet paper. I've already bought my canned food. Right?
47:23
I'm I'm not I'm not, like, rushing tomorrow to go to Costco to stock up on things because I've thought through this already. As I know a lot of you have already because this is the reality is is that when disaster strikes, if you wait until that day, it's already too late. Like, you don't wanna be this person standing in line at Costco or going to, you know, get some canned beans and realize, like, oh my gosh, Costco's out of canned beans, and, you know, Walmart's out of canned beans, and and, you know, Samsung's out of canned beans. So, again, this is this is why, you know, being prepared, food, water, everything is so important. And I'm I'm I'm working on it.
47:59
I've I've been talking about a little bit recently. Actually, I'm working on a really big project I'm gonna be announcing very soon. It's all about preparedness, which I'm really excited to tell you about. And it just has a, you know, quick kind of segue to this is that this is why one of my sponsors is Heaven's Harvest. Right?
48:16
This is look. There's a lot of different storeable food companies that make the big food buckets. Most of them are actually crap. Try I've bought them. I've tried them.
48:24
They're not good. They they they fill their buckets with fillers like Kool Aid and pudding and stuff to make the calories cheaper. Right? But if you want good reliable, like, you're kinda panicking right now saying, okay. I need to stock up.
48:37
First off, wait till you calm down. Right? If you're panicking, sleep on it. Tomorrow morning, go go check out some options. Right?
48:45
Don't buy out of fear. Buy out of responsibility. But if you are looking for high quality storable food, heaven's harvest is second to none. You also get 15% off with promo code Seth. So they've got they also have these new these self heating meal kits, which I just got.
49:03
I'm trying meet. I just got some the other day. They've got seeds. They've got the food buckets, number 10 cans. Great place.
49:09
So that's heavensharvest.com. So continuing so we showed you that. And okay. So continuing with with the overall discussion on this is we have to understand that our country, the supply chain that we are tied into is so complex. Like, I'm not kidding.
49:31
Like, even your local grocery store, they've always had groceries. Like, why wouldn't they have groceries? Even a strike, a union strike, could be enough to cripple the grocery stores, and it could it could lead to catastrophic events coming after that. And so this is why it's really important to understand these things. Actually, there's a book that I read.
49:49
It's called the end of the world is just the beginning, and it was written by oh, his name escapes me right now. Peter Zihan. Peter Zihan, the end of the world is just the beginning. I I don't necessarily agree with a lot the guys' views, you know, politically, but it doesn't matter because he's a brilliant guy in terms of his understanding of geopolitics. And so this book describes how this system that we have where the, the the globalism, the global trade, everything is so it's it's like on a knife's edge at all times, and it's like it's always inches away from totally collapsing.
50:24
It's it's a miracle that it's still being held together. But it's really helpful in understanding why the situations like this port strike or something else could could, like, totally throw a wrench into our supply chain and end up, you know, cascading into millions of Americans not having food, increased violence. It could even lead lead to famine. Because if people can't buy food, they start going after the farms. They start robbing the farms.
50:51
The farms shut down because they can't protect their their, you know, farms from people coming in that are hungry. The farms can't produce crops for the next year. You know, Michael Yawn talked about a lot of my show that, you know, these small things could literally lead to an absolute collapse. And so we need to be just aware of this, like, of, like, where this is the time that we're living at in history. And what's also crazy, though, is another video here.
51:13
This is Amazon. This is an Amazon workers talking about how it looks like they might be going on strike. So this is the Amazon Teamsters. So this is a minute long. Check this out.
51:23
Speaker 9: Amazon is the richest company in the world, but they don't share the wealth with workers that create it for them. Amazon's never gonna give us something unless we take it from them.
51:34
Speaker 8: Right. Right. Right.
51:35
Speaker 9: And every single person out here is gonna make that happen.
51:39
Speaker 10: Amazon said in their peak season planning doc, they wanted to give us only 60¢ for a raise this year. Is that acceptable?
51:46
Speaker 2: No. No. But
51:49
Speaker 10: it's because of workers at DHL, workers at Amazon facilities around the country, and right here at KCBG organizing, that's how we got a more than 100% increase in what they were willing to give. It's time
52:02
Speaker 11: for us to stand together and continue fighting for what we're worth. It's time to show them just how essential we see ourselves today. Because without us, these profits that Bezos comfortably hoards in his mansion do not exist. Right. So it's time to fight because when teamsters fight, teamsters win.
52:20
And who are
52:22
Seth Holehouse: So there you go. So it may be you know, we're gonna have Amazon strikes? I I don't know. And maybe there's a trend from this, but the the look at the big picture. Right?
52:30
So I I started the show talking about, you know, Noah's Ark and the flood and how this process was this process of cleaning out the evil, and how everything changed after that. And, you know, when I look at when I look at the world today, and again, as I mentioned before studying history, the more I study history, like real history, the more I come to conclusion that almost everything that we're we're fighting for and that we're surrounded by today is is a lie. Now, not that we're not you know, there are a lot of things that we're fighting for that are that are truly good, right, given you by God, but even the two party system. I mean, I'm the more I've I've I've kinda dialed into it, I'm convinced the two party system is another way of controlling us. Right?
53:10
That's why, you know, I I I know I do I do think that in many ways, Trump is outside that that system, but there's certain things that's, you know, show me that he's not. It's it's very complicated, but there's a big part of me that just looks around, like, you know, so right now, the the debate right now between, you know, Waltz and JD Vance, I I I have I have a hard time looking at this. I feel like that I'm watching just these two kind of puppets up on stage trying to steer us into things and make us, you know, convince us that if if we get our party back in, it's gonna fix everything. I think that actually, like, that's not gonna fix everything. Like, it really isn't.
53:47
Like, we have to, like, fundamentally make some some major changes, and and I don't know what those changes necessarily are, but I just think that the the world today is we're so far corrupted. We're so far away from how we're supposed to live. And I think though that the process that we might see unfold, as we continue is humanity being brought back to how humanity is supposed to live. But what that also looks like is a collapse of this current system that we with this current cabal. You know, we we we we you know, everyone thinks like, oh, you know, the cabal's gonna collapse, and it's great.
54:24
They're gonna be dead. And, you know, while I agree. Right? Okay. That that's playing out, but you have to realize that if they go down, the entire system that our society is built on, that the world is held together by goes down with them, and that's gonna be a lot of chaos.
54:40
And there's not gonna be a flood that wipes out everyone except for a few, but it is gonna be chaotic. And so even when I look at, you know, the the the chart back I'm gonna pull back up again, but the the chart about the shipping actually, I will pull it back up to you because that it's really important to look at that. Let's see. Here we go. So this particular chart right here, okay, showing okay.
55:03
Walmart, IKEA, Samsung, you know, Bob, you know, Bob's Furniture, LG, Home Depot. Right? These are all very global companies. Right? These are all companies in a lot of ways that are taking away money from your local mom and pop shop.
55:18
So, you know, even looking at this strike, is it a good thing? Right? Because let's just say the strike continues for a month. And what that means is that you go to Walmart, you can't buy what you want at Walmart. You can't get we we, you know, we want at IKEA.
55:32
Yes. For a lot of people, it's gonna be really difficult, but maybe what it means though is that you see the local general store come back in the picture. You see the local farmers just doing amazing business, because I really believe this is the future. I I really believe the future is is getting away from this globalist crap that they're, you know, they're they're making junk in China and slave labor factories, selling it to us in Walmart here in America, you know, shipping it, trying to automate the shipping to make it even cheaper so they can squeeze the guys in China and squeeze us. I think it'd be a good thing if that system fell apart and we all went back to local.
56:09
Like, I would love to go back to the day where and actually, in a lot of ways, do in my life, but where I'm I'm going to this the local general store. Right? Think about, you know, Little House on a Prairie. You're gonna go to go to the Olsens to get your your bag of sugar, your bag of unbranded sugar. Right?
56:24
So maybe that's part of what's happening is that this you know, they talk about a great reset. Well, maybe that there is a great reset, but the reset is that we're going back to how we're supposed to live. And so this is, you know, kinda plays into the, you know, purpose of prepping. One of them is good getting back to building your community. Right?
56:42
Figure out who your local farmers, who your local, you know, who is your local sheriff, what's your local community look like? Because, you know, right now, what's happened is that all of that that heart and that virtue that tied together these local communities has been torn apart by these big globalistcom you know, companies, this corporatocracy, and by a government that wants you to be stuck on the teat of the government, and while you're waiting for the government to come save you instead of coming together with your neighbors to save yourselves. So there there could be a silver lining in all this. I know it's difficult, but, honestly, if the news, you know, say, six months from now is that, wow, You know, the the the dock workers strike completely collapsed the global the global system, and Walmart can no longer survive because it can't get things from China. And, you know, we've seen this this huge boom of local businesses popping up serving local communities.
57:33
Honestly, that could be one of the best things ever for America that would bring me a lot of joy. Like, I would love that. And and and the region I live in, like, I try specifically to try to do everything as local as possible. Right? I don't go to the big local grocery store chains or the big, you know, kind of, you know, national or regional chains.
57:51
Like, I found the smaller local grocery stores. I go to a milk farm once a week. You know, we get raw milks. I go I get all of our milk and our eggs at the milk farm. I I know the farmers.
58:01
I go to the farm markets. I do as much as possible from, you know, extracting all the goodness and beauty out of my local community. And the thing is is that if you built a life like that, then it's like, oh, okay. Well, maybe I can't get my stuff on Amazon, but I'm not gonna starve. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna, you know, die because of it.
58:20
I'm gonna go to my local farmer and say, hey. You've seen these strikes? You know, how can I support you as a local farmer? I need to keep buying things from you. These are the things I used to always be getting from, you know, the big grocery stores or from Walmart.
58:32
Can you help? Can you carry these things? Can you get the local version of it? I mean, to honestly, it's kind of a beautiful thing. So we'll see, though.
58:39
Honestly, I, you know, I have no idea what's gonna happen in the next, say, three to six months. If I did, I'd be a billionaire. Okay. If I could predict what was gonna happen in the next six months, I I would be making a lot of money, but I don't know. I mean, I do know that there is a resurgence of goodness.
58:55
There's this great awakening happening. The, evil that has ruled this world for generations and generations, I do believe, is coming to its end. As more of us become aware of the evil controls and the lies that we've been fed, which is their greatest threat, is for us to see the lies they've wanted to hide so much, and we're now seeing them. We're finding sorry. We're finding the truth they've tried to hide so much with their lies.
59:20
So this is what's happening. So it does give me hope. So even though there's lot of craziness going on, it does give me hope that we're getting to the other side of this. So, folks, that's all for tonight. Thank you all for being here.
59:32
Thank you for joining me instead of watching the the charade, the the debate, which I'll I'll probably, you know, go watch some clip highlights just to see what happened with that. But, anyway, it's it's great to be here with you all. Thank you so much for being here. Take care. God bless.
59:47
I'll see you next time.
