Trudeau is Trump's LapDog or Some Would Say B*tch -- John Rubino #6193 · Financial Survival Network

0:00
Speaker 1: So you know who's in charge for the next four years.
0:02
Speaker 1: So all these guys are accommodating that new reality. And
0:06
Speaker 1: what that means for the social media platforms is that
0:09
Speaker 1: they have to basically adopt something close to X's moderation policies,
0:19
Speaker 1: which is to say, not a whole lot of moderation
0:21
Speaker 1: at all. You know, they have to do that because
0:24
Speaker 1: anything else opens them up to lawsuits that the courts
0:28
Speaker 1: won't be on their side.
0:30

Speaker 3: And welcome you are listening to and watching those Financial
1:00
Speaker 3: Survival Network. I'm Carrie Levet. John Rabino is with us.
1:05
Speaker 3: After a more than one month. I ate it and
1:08
Speaker 3: I feel like John, we kind of like miss a month,
1:13
Speaker 3: probably the most consequential month in so many different ways.
1:18
Speaker 3: Then since we started talking back in twenty eleven, I
1:21
Speaker 3: mean Trump is re elected. I knew that was going
1:25
Speaker 3: to happen. But all the other things that are going on,
1:27
Speaker 3: the stock market is still booming. Of lot of lots
1:31
Speaker 3: of things going on here, John, welcome.
1:33
Speaker 1: Back, Hey carry good to be back. Yeah. We do
1:37
Speaker 1: have a few things to talk about today, don't we.
1:39
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, this is the first election I've
1:42
Speaker 1: ever stressed over, because in the past it's always seemed like, yeah,
1:46
Speaker 1: you know, you get a different flavor of basically the
1:48
Speaker 1: same thing. The deep state is in charge regardless. This
1:52
Speaker 1: time that was at stake. You know, if we went
1:56
Speaker 1: four more years with the policies of the last four years,
2:00
Speaker 1: we're over as a country. You know, the borders we're
2:02
Speaker 1: going to stay open, and all the swing states because
2:06
Speaker 1: of that, would would vote one way. We'd be a
2:08
Speaker 1: one party state, and we'd have broad based censorship. We'd
2:14
Speaker 1: probably blunder into World War three. You know, it was
2:16
Speaker 1: it was a terrifying prospect, and I was hoping for
2:19
Speaker 1: just you know, a squeaker for Trump and then civil
2:25
Speaker 1: unrest for a couple of months. That seemed like the
2:27
Speaker 1: best to hope for. But this, you know, a landslide basically,
2:32
Speaker 1: you know, it settles the issue of who won, which
2:35
Speaker 1: was a really big deal because we were, you know,
2:37
Speaker 1: we were bordering on a civil war there where nobody
2:40
Speaker 1: trusts elections in the US. Whoever loses assumes they've had
2:44
Speaker 1: it stolen from them and is right there ready to
2:47
Speaker 1: take to the streets. So we avoided all that, which
2:50
Speaker 1: is just in its own right, is a huge thing,
2:52
Speaker 1: no matter what else happens. But now we at least
2:57
Speaker 1: have a chance of reversing some of the these policies,
3:00
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's a good start so far
3:02
Speaker 1: without the transition having even happened. Yet there are policy
3:06
Speaker 1: changes happening that that are pointing in the right direction.
3:10
Speaker 1: You know, there's peace plans being floated in Ukraine and
3:15
Speaker 1: negotiations overclosing the borders on both north and south right,
3:20
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's a very big deal. So I'm I'm
3:24
Speaker 1: short term optimistic about our political system. In other words,
3:29
Speaker 1: we're going to survive intact. We'll still take some luck,
3:33
Speaker 1: but we're heading in that direction, which is I got
3:35
Speaker 1: to say, that's nice. It's been a while since since
3:38
Speaker 1: there was any reason for optimism about the US system.
3:41
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I could agree with you more. And don't forget
3:44
Speaker 3: those the Department of Government Efficiency. You know that I'm
3:49
Speaker 3: that and the idea of like because nobody has talked
3:54
Speaker 3: about this. Trump didn't talked about it his first term.
3:58
Speaker 3: You know, no president since Reagan has talked about that.
4:02
Speaker 3: The government talks too damn much. It's inefficient, it's the
4:07
Speaker 3: just a corporate welfare. John, We're spending like half a
4:11
Speaker 3: trillion to a trillion a year to get rid of
4:13
Speaker 3: the corporate welfare. And then you know, rationalize these programs
4:18
Speaker 3: because these programs all started. You know, we didn't have
4:21
Speaker 3: much of a government until FDR. They weren't all these
4:23
Speaker 3: the welfare state emerged, and then LBJ and then you know,
4:29
Speaker 3: the rest of them. All of a sudden, we're talking
4:31
Speaker 3: about turning back the hands on the clock, and it
4:35
Speaker 3: seems like support for this is wide spread. Now we'll
4:39
Speaker 3: see how long it left. Because one man's the wasted
4:43
Speaker 3: government spending is another man's entitlement. But at least we're
4:48
Speaker 3: having the conversation, and we're having the conversation about endless wars.
4:53
Speaker 3: We're having the conversation about government overreach, about departments that
4:58
Speaker 3: their only purpose is make your life miserable, like a
5:02
Speaker 3: lot of free letter agencies, about closing the FBI headquarters,
5:07
Speaker 3: all of these things. Now, you know they're going to
5:09
Speaker 3: fight him. But way I look at it, John, look
5:11
Speaker 3: at everything Trump had to do to get here. All right.
5:15
Speaker 3: I put aside all your preconditions, all your thoughts, negative
5:20
Speaker 3: thoughts about him, whatever they might be. He's at law fair,
5:24
Speaker 3: multiple lawsuits, criminal indictments, everything else, it attempted to attempted assassination,
5:33
Speaker 3: FBI stings and covers, honey, pops. Well, he had everything
5:39
Speaker 3: against him imaginable, every single force aligned. Now, whether you
5:44
Speaker 3: want to believe in a higher power or God or whatever,
5:47
Speaker 3: something spared him from when he was shot there in
5:50
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania and here he is now he won. So I
5:55
Speaker 3: feel like he's pretty much unstoppable at this point, both
5:59
Speaker 3: by the Democrat and by the members of his own party,
6:02
Speaker 3: who are worse than the opposing party. Here, John, Like,
6:07
Speaker 3: there's nothing worse than like a you know, rooted thicken,
6:11
Speaker 3: the knife in your rib between your ribs, or Mitch
6:16
Speaker 3: McConnell saying Hi, I'm here from the US Senate and
6:19
Speaker 3: I'm here to help, right like the Chamber of Commerce,
6:23
Speaker 3: all of these forces the deep state aligned against you,
6:27
Speaker 3: me and the rest of us. He's taken him on
6:31
Speaker 3: and he prevailed. John, I don't I can't think of
6:35
Speaker 3: any story like this in our lifetime.
6:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the most dramatic couple of years of
6:42
Speaker 1: our lifetimes for sure. A lot of stuff that was
6:45
Speaker 1: really improbable actually ended up happening. So I think I
6:50
Speaker 1: have four thoughts what you just said. So let's back
6:52
Speaker 1: and remember him first. Trump's first term wasn't even a
6:57
Speaker 1: real term because he didn't expect to get elected. He
7:00
Speaker 1: thought he you know, he'd lose by a fair bit,
7:03
Speaker 1: but he'd be much more famous. He'd go back to
7:06
Speaker 1: TV and stuff like that and make even more money.
7:08
Speaker 1: And that was his play back then. But then he
7:11
Speaker 1: gets elected. He doesn't have any kind of a transition
7:15
Speaker 1: team setup or anything, and so he ended up it
7:19
Speaker 1: was like, WHOA, I'm president now, I guess I need
7:21
Speaker 1: like a cabinet and stuff like that. So he went
7:24
Speaker 1: to the swamp creatures and ask them who he should
7:28
Speaker 1: name to all these different positions in his government. And
7:31
Speaker 1: so he ended up with business as usual. He just
7:33
Speaker 1: he got the people who he ran against and they
7:37
Speaker 1: just stonewalled him. Plus the law, air and everything. So
7:41
Speaker 1: nothing happened in his first four years which other things
7:45
Speaker 1: being equal, is actually a pretty good outcome because if
7:48
Speaker 1: the government does nothing, then it causes very little harm.
7:51
Speaker 1: Right But still, we're seeing his actual first term unfold
7:57
Speaker 1: right now. As you know, you look at the people
7:59
Speaker 1: he's nominating. They are all bomb throwers from outside the mainstream,
8:03
Speaker 1: and they have the deep state petrified right now. By
8:07
Speaker 1: the way, Carrie, this is a little aside. I still
8:09
Speaker 1: have my other thoughts on this, but you're I think
8:13
Speaker 1: the only guy I know who knows both Trump and
8:16
Speaker 1: RFK Junior. So it gives you a pretty interesting perspective
8:20
Speaker 1: on some of what's happening right now. But okay, let's
8:26
Speaker 1: see now, is it possible to cut back on government spending?
8:31
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's got people in charge, not like
8:33
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and the vic Ramaswami are phenomenally good at organizing,
8:39
Speaker 1: and they're they're ideas of just closing down the Education Department,
8:43
Speaker 1: moving big chunks of the law enforcement agencies to to
8:46
Speaker 1: satellite offices in other states so they don't become, you know,
8:50
Speaker 1: acclimated to Washington as their home base. And that's all
8:54
Speaker 1: great and there there so there are things that can
8:57
Speaker 1: be cut, but that doesn't save us no matter what
9:00
Speaker 1: they do, it does not save us from the gigantic
9:03
Speaker 1: financial crisis is coming because we already borrowed too much money.
9:06
Speaker 1: You know, you can't fix debt at government debt at
9:10
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty percent of GDP and total debt
9:13
Speaker 1: at three hundred and fifty percent of GDP unfixable. You know,
9:16
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about that except have the
9:20
Speaker 1: crisis that leads to the currency reset. So all of
9:23
Speaker 1: that is still to happen, and that's how they handle
9:27
Speaker 1: that inevitability is going to be what defines or one
9:33
Speaker 1: of the things that defines Trump's four years here because
9:37
Speaker 1: it will probably hit before he's out, and you know,
9:39
Speaker 1: it's going to be a very big financial crisis. They're
9:41
Speaker 1: going to have to deal with it. And it's not
9:45
Speaker 1: clear that they are prepared for anything like that. They
9:48
Speaker 1: don't talk about it or anything. But it's also possible
9:51
Speaker 1: that they do the currency reset pretty well because they've
9:54
Speaker 1: got gold bugs, you know, this Judy Shelton lady, and
9:57
Speaker 1: they've got other people who might be open to the
10:00
Speaker 1: idea of going back to a gold standard, so that
10:03
Speaker 1: that is by far the least painful way to have
10:05
Speaker 1: that currency reset, and it could be that Trump is
10:08
Speaker 1: actually positioned to do that correctly. You know, that would
10:12
Speaker 1: be that would be amazing if true, but or if
10:17
Speaker 1: it happens that way. But you know, as far as
10:21
Speaker 1: you know, like what RFK Junior is talking about doing
10:23
Speaker 1: in healthcare phenomenally good because we have gotten nothing for
10:29
Speaker 1: our wealth. We're in some ways the richest country in
10:33
Speaker 1: the world, or at least we have been in the past,
10:37
Speaker 1: but we're the least healthy, big rich country. We're the
10:40
Speaker 1: least happy we have. You know, our average lifespan of
10:44
Speaker 1: the US is much less than that of Italy. So
10:49
Speaker 1: we've basically been captured by these big interests. You know,
10:54
Speaker 1: Big food sells us poison which causes chronic illness, and
10:58
Speaker 1: so we go to big pharm and they give us drugs,
11:01
Speaker 1: incredibly expensive drugs to manage the symptoms of the poisoning
11:05
Speaker 1: from big Food. And it just goes on like that
11:08
Speaker 1: in a circle. And RFK Junior gets that, so he
11:12
Speaker 1: could come in and just clean this stuff up. You know,
11:15
Speaker 1: these conflicts of interest aren't even hidden or anything. They're
11:18
Speaker 1: just right out there in the open. But it became
11:22
Speaker 1: so normalized that they're like an aristocracy where yeah, yeah,
11:25
Speaker 1: we have special rights. The laws don't apply to us.
11:27
Speaker 1: But so what, it's always been that way. So you know,
11:30
Speaker 1: he could clean that part of the system up, and
11:33
Speaker 1: if he does, that would be amazing because you know,
11:36
Speaker 1: we're poisoning our children. To put it bluntly, yeah.
11:43
Speaker 3: You know, like the whole thing of the unhealthiest country
11:47
Speaker 3: in the world, the the bcity rate and all of
11:51
Speaker 3: this is biohacking. It's primitive biohacking. It's just like you
11:56
Speaker 3: hauled out some sugar when Johnny is two months old
12:00
Speaker 3: or I like that, and you get a dopamine hit
12:03
Speaker 3: and then you get hooked on this and all of
12:05
Speaker 3: our food if you look at all the processed foods,
12:09
Speaker 3: you know, we have more ways of the saying sugar
12:12
Speaker 3: in the English language that we to go you know
12:16
Speaker 3: what yourself, right, there are more ways that they sugar,
12:20
Speaker 3: some like two hundred and forty ways that they show.
12:22
Speaker 1: And see, the amazing thing is that sugar isn't even
12:26
Speaker 1: the worst process sweetener that is in our food. Fruit douse,
12:30
Speaker 1: corn syrup is much worse. And you've got all these
12:32
Speaker 1: other things with names like you said that we don't
12:34
Speaker 1: even necessarily recognize as some kind of a fake sweetener
12:39
Speaker 1: that causes obesity and causes autism. I'm guessing about the autism.
12:44
Speaker 1: Something causes autism. We will find out what it is
12:46
Speaker 1: if we actually test for it. And childhood, what's the
12:53
Speaker 1: thing when your old allergies, you know, allergies used to
12:56
Speaker 1: be very rare and now they're super common. And our
12:59
Speaker 1: food plus all the industrial chemicals that are in other
13:02
Speaker 1: products that we that we use and sleep with and
13:07
Speaker 1: drive around, you know, all of that stuff is causing
13:10
Speaker 1: these things. And we could go science based in our
13:15
Speaker 1: you know, in the FDA and the NIH and and
13:19
Speaker 1: actually find these things. And that's that might be the
13:22
Speaker 1: part of this whole thing that I'm most well second
13:24
Speaker 1: most excited about. Stopping these wars is the existential thing immediately,
13:29
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to stop blundering into World War three,
13:32
Speaker 1: and to the extent that we shut down the whole
13:34
Speaker 1: thing in Ukraine and dial back the thing in the
13:38
Speaker 1: Middle East, and and make some kind of an agreement
13:43
Speaker 1: with China so we're not one mistake by a fighter
13:47
Speaker 1: pilot in the South China Sea away from World War
13:49
Speaker 1: three over there that gives us the breathing room in
13:54
Speaker 1: which to fix these other things. So you know, here's
13:57
Speaker 1: hoping it's it's finally possible to have some optimism about
14:03
Speaker 1: some of this stuff, which is hugely refreshing after the
14:06
Speaker 1: past four years.
14:07
Speaker 3: And I think that the polarization we've been encountered. Whoever
14:13
Speaker 3: called that, you know, everybody's responsible because you don't listen,
14:17
Speaker 3: you just speak. I think that polarization now we have
14:21
Speaker 3: a shot at it anyway fading away. But going back
14:24
Speaker 3: to the food applies, which to me is elemental of
14:29
Speaker 3: But I heard Rfka Junior speaking and he was talking
14:32
Speaker 3: about seed oil, like they invented vegetable oil and short
14:38
Speaker 3: vegetable shortening. Originally it was invented from lubrication for machinery
14:43
Speaker 3: before they had petroleumas lubricin, and somebody thought, hey, this
14:47
Speaker 3: can it worked for the machines, that can really work
14:50
Speaker 3: for our food. It wasn't any evil intent at the time.
14:54
Speaker 3: It was ignorant. But seed oil I in satti omega sixes,
15:00
Speaker 3: which are inflammatory by nature and causes all sorts of
15:05
Speaker 3: bad things along with all the chemicals. Like Rfka Junior
15:09
Speaker 3: is talking about fruit needs now, to me, breakfast cereals
15:13
Speaker 3: are poison. You should never give your kids. You should
15:16
Speaker 3: never eat one unless you're going to eat steel cut
15:19
Speaker 3: both feelings. But the fruit loops of the United States
15:23
Speaker 3: had eighteen ingredients, and the one in Canada had eighteen ingredients,
15:30
Speaker 3: except that all of the flavorings and all of the
15:33
Speaker 3: coloring in the Canadian cereal is natural, and all of
15:38
Speaker 3: those the ingredients and the American fruit loops were chemicals.
15:43
Speaker 1: Carry it. Okay, right, let me interject, because the New
15:46
Speaker 1: York Times fact checked Kennedy on this. You saw that, right,
15:51
Speaker 1: And they came back and said, no, Kennedy's wrong. There's
15:53
Speaker 1: the same number of ingredients in each of these cereals,
15:56
Speaker 1: and the only difference is and then they listed the
15:58
Speaker 1: industrial chemicals that in the US version and that was
16:02
Speaker 1: their fact check that, oh yeah, it's the same serial
16:05
Speaker 1: except for these three different patrick chemicals that caused twenty
16:08
Speaker 1: five different diseases.
16:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, you can't make this ship up, John, No, No,
16:16
Speaker 3: first on the show since I started. But you really
16:20
Speaker 3: can't make it up. You know that there is no
16:24
Speaker 3: deep state, right, John, there's no deep state. You just
16:27
Speaker 3: imagine who killed the Kennedy, who killed Martin Luther King Junior.
16:33
Speaker 1: Hey, you we might be finding that out. Yeah, yeah, right,
16:37
Speaker 1: I'd like to know.
16:39
Speaker 3: But even without knowing, you know that there's a deep
16:43
Speaker 3: state of the lives and the well and oh, elections
16:45
Speaker 3: never get stolen, john, Right, But nineteen sixty something happened
16:51
Speaker 3: kind of funny there and the Dead came out in
16:54
Speaker 3: record numbers in Chicago and elected Kennedy.
16:57
Speaker 1: Right, so great, read any biography of LBJ and and
17:05
Speaker 1: you see what they used to do or what they
17:07
Speaker 1: still do in different forms. But back then, he you know,
17:09
Speaker 1: he basically ran Texas, so he would figure out how
17:11
Speaker 1: many votes each precinct needed to manufacture for him, and
17:15
Speaker 1: he would let them know, and that's how they won
17:17
Speaker 1: their elections, you know. And it's the same thing now
17:22
Speaker 1: except it's it's a little more sophisticated. But there probably
17:26
Speaker 1: aren't the phone records. But yeah, you know there's still
17:28
Speaker 1: theft going on out there.
17:30
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so that's a you know, we don't want
17:33
Speaker 3: to get kicked off here and refer to a to
17:36
Speaker 3: be labeled as the election deniers that our digital overlords
17:42
Speaker 3: would like to put But with musk in there X
17:47
Speaker 3: formerly known as Twitter, it really made such a huge difference.
17:51
Speaker 3: And the study now is it's evenly divided ideologically between
17:56
Speaker 3: left and right, virtually identical numbers before that, the left
18:00
Speaker 3: out number before he took it over, the left out
18:03
Speaker 3: number the right sixty one to like thirty nine or
18:06
Speaker 3: sixty eight to thirty two, something like that. Now it's
18:10
Speaker 3: it reflects the country as a whole. And look at
18:14
Speaker 3: all these people who believe in freedom and Trump the
18:17
Speaker 3: fascist were coming out saying that the social you know,
18:22
Speaker 3: social media platforms, especially Twitter, needs to be regulated.
18:26
Speaker 1: Right well, and a lot of them are a lot
18:29
Speaker 1: of those people who used to be on Twitter are
18:30
Speaker 1: going to I think it's Blue Sky. I think that's
18:32
Speaker 1: the name of the Twitter competitor that is censored. You know,
18:37
Speaker 1: that's that's moderated to the point where mainstream people are comfortable.
18:43
Speaker 1: And there was just a story about that that platform
18:45
Speaker 1: came out lately that said they are swamped with censorship
18:49
Speaker 1: requests from their users. So those people show up and
18:53
Speaker 1: they immediately start demanding that anybody who disagrees with them
18:57
Speaker 1: be shut down immediately.
19:01
Speaker 3: So hopefully, uh, the big ones, Google and Facebook now
19:07
Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg uh to a trip down to Mari Lago
19:11
Speaker 3: to the huddle with Trump. What do you think that
19:16
Speaker 3: was about.
19:16
Speaker 1: Well, you know that that is one of the benefits
19:19
Speaker 1: of having a landslide victory because there's no ambiguity now,
19:23
Speaker 1: so you know who's in charge for the next four years.
19:26
Speaker 1: So all these guys are accommodating that new reality. And
19:30
Speaker 1: what that means for the social media platforms is that
19:32
Speaker 1: they they have to basically adopt something close to X's
19:41
Speaker 1: moderation policies, which is to say, not a whole lot
19:44
Speaker 1: of moderation at all. You know, they're there. They have
19:46
Speaker 1: to do that because anything else opens them up to
19:50
Speaker 1: lawsuits that the courts won't be on their side, and
19:53
Speaker 1: you know, so they know they have to accommodate. And
19:55
Speaker 1: then the same thing with the leaders of the countries
19:59
Speaker 1: on our border. Trump hasn't has a conversation with the
20:03
Speaker 1: president of Mexico, and she seems to agree to close
20:07
Speaker 1: down the border on her side, you know, and just
20:09
Speaker 1: stop the the millions of people from coming over. And
20:13
Speaker 1: then Trudeau from Canada comes down tomorrow a Lago and
20:16
Speaker 1: talks to Trump and then and agrees to kind of
20:19
Speaker 1: the same thing. He's going to tighten his border policies.
20:21
Speaker 1: So that's the kind of thing a landslide victory gets
20:25
Speaker 1: you because you're you're not a fluke anymore. You are
20:28
Speaker 1: the new reality. And that's that's what Trump's dealing with.
20:31
Speaker 1: He must be loving it because you know, as a
20:34
Speaker 1: deal maker, he probably doesn't find it that easy to
20:38
Speaker 1: make deals all the time because you know, deals are
20:42
Speaker 1: with somebody who has bargaining power, and in this case,
20:45
Speaker 1: he has all the bargaining power, you know, so he
20:47
Speaker 1: just gets to dictate terms in a lot of cases.
20:50
Speaker 1: So he must be loving this. I hope it doesn't
20:52
Speaker 1: make him lazy, though, because he's going to have some
20:54
Speaker 1: hard negotiation to do out there around the world, and
20:59
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be much hard, harder than it
21:00
Speaker 1: is with Mexico and Canada for sure.
21:03
Speaker 3: Well, you know, like I say, he seems to be
21:07
Speaker 3: at this very point unstoppable, and I think we'll get
21:11
Speaker 3: the people in the cabinet he wants. And one thing
21:14
Speaker 3: going back, I will give you the perspective of a
21:17
Speaker 3: recovering attorney who studied the Impoundment Power Act where Congress
21:23
Speaker 3: I think it was right around mixed in seventy one.
21:26
Speaker 3: He had prior to that. But if President didn't like
21:30
Speaker 3: the allocation of what Congress did to a program, he
21:33
Speaker 3: could just choose not suspend it. That was called impoundment,
21:38
Speaker 3: and Congress passed the Impoundment Authority Act, which said that
21:43
Speaker 3: he has to impound it, and then both houses of
21:45
Speaker 3: Congress have to agree, which of course they never will
21:48
Speaker 3: because they spent the money in the first place. This
21:51
Speaker 3: case went to the Supreme Court during Watergate of the
21:55
Speaker 3: congress ion. But my sources tell me, and I was
21:59
Speaker 3: talking to somebody handling some of the transition for Trump
22:03
Speaker 3: is they're going to resurrect the impoundment power and they're
22:07
Speaker 3: going to take it to the Supreme Court. So if
22:09
Speaker 3: he doesn't like what they spend money on, like building
22:13
Speaker 3: the new mansions for Boeing the executive management, he's just
22:20
Speaker 3: going to choose not to spend the money and then
22:22
Speaker 3: say to Congress, Well stopped me. And I don't think
22:26
Speaker 3: of the lead wore a constitutional crisis. But I'm telling
22:30
Speaker 3: you this is in the game plan. He wanted to
22:33
Speaker 3: do it last time, but he didn't have an Attorney
22:35
Speaker 3: general who wasn't trying to sticken a ship between his bridge,
22:39
Speaker 3: so he couldn't do it, it's going to be.
22:43
Speaker 1: This Supreme Court has at least three people who would
22:45
Speaker 1: go along with that in a heartbeat, you know they
22:48
Speaker 1: I mean they overturned roversus ways. I don't think impoundment
22:53
Speaker 1: is going to be a high hurdle for them. So yeah,
22:55
Speaker 1: that that could absolutely happen. And then what the president
22:59
Speaker 1: has is the equivalent of a line item veto, where
23:03
Speaker 1: he can go through the budget bills line by line
23:06
Speaker 1: and decide whether he wants to spend that money or not.
23:10
Speaker 1: That's a revolution. Although Garry, we got to remember that
23:16
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of federal spending is I don't want
23:20
Speaker 1: to say untouchable, but very hard to touch because the
23:22
Speaker 1: military budget is hard to cut. No, and then social
23:27
Speaker 1: Security and Medicare are baby boomer priorities. You know, our
23:33
Speaker 1: generation is just not is not going to take you know,
23:36
Speaker 1: a thirty percent cut in our Social Security checks or
23:39
Speaker 1: anything like that. So the efficiency thing has to happen
23:43
Speaker 1: in how these these programs are administered, not how much
23:49
Speaker 1: they send us, you know, how much they pay us.
23:53
Speaker 1: And that really limits how much the a government with
23:57
Speaker 1: a line item veto can actually cut out his ending.
24:00
Speaker 1: But there will be a lot you know, even even
24:04
Speaker 1: with Social Security being untouchable, a lot of stuff can
24:09
Speaker 1: be cut out of the budget and it'll be hilarious
24:11
Speaker 1: to watch it, because you know, this this screaming when
24:14
Speaker 1: when the ng O is out there, like all these
24:16
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations that get federal subsidies end up being
24:21
Speaker 1: cut off, like national public, public radio or and what's
24:25
Speaker 1: the TV version of that? I forget, But anyhow, those
24:28
Speaker 1: things are going to be defunded in a heartbeat, I
24:30
Speaker 1: would think, you know, and the the gnashing of teeth
24:34
Speaker 1: and the tears will be hilarious to watch.
24:38
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's still plenty of ways. Even though I
24:42
Speaker 3: can't really cut Social Security per se. Uh, social Security
24:47
Speaker 3: is way more than it started out with the stability
24:51
Speaker 3: survivors and all that, and it'll have to be reformed.
24:56
Speaker 3: But for Medicare, if people just stop eating this garbage
25:00
Speaker 3: in eight whole food, healthy food, eighty percent of that
25:04
Speaker 3: Medicare bill would disappear because all of your age related
25:09
Speaker 3: older you know, diseases, type two diabetes, heart disease, all
25:16
Speaker 3: of it is, the eighty percent of it anyway, is
25:20
Speaker 3: directly caused by what you eat, by the employ food supply.
25:26
Speaker 1: So that that's how you run a national healthcare system,
25:29
Speaker 1: because there's no way to run it in today's world
25:31
Speaker 1: without going bankrupt. And that's not just the US, it's
25:33
Speaker 1: every country out there is going bankrupt because of national healthcare.
25:37
Speaker 1: But if you run it with the main priority being
25:42
Speaker 1: creating the most healthy population imaginable, then yeah, then it's
25:46
Speaker 1: then it's way cheaper.
25:51
Speaker 3: And exercise. So the four pillars of good health, not
25:56
Speaker 3: that we're a health wellness show here, but number one diet,
26:01
Speaker 3: So you're eating cold food, and you're eating things that
26:03
Speaker 3: are not injurious to your health, like sugar and high
26:07
Speaker 3: proced crotose corn syrup and eighty five other forms of
26:11
Speaker 3: sugar and preservative and chemicals. And then exercise right, something
26:17
Speaker 3: that most people don't do anymore. And then you have
26:21
Speaker 3: sleep and stress management. So those are the four pillars
26:25
Speaker 3: of good health. And exercise, stress management time to go together.
26:30
Speaker 3: And it's really a simple matter. I don't know how
26:34
Speaker 3: long I'm going to live, but I feel like right now,
26:37
Speaker 3: at this particular moment, I'm probably in better health than
26:40
Speaker 3: eighty percent for the people of my advanced age. We're
26:44
Speaker 3: pretty close to the age year. And that doesn't mean
26:48
Speaker 3: I'm not going to drop dead tomorrow, but it increases
26:51
Speaker 3: improves my chances of surviving. And so if we had
26:56
Speaker 3: a national campaign. Just remember John, when you and I
26:59
Speaker 3: grew up, more than half the people smoked cigarettes, right
27:04
Speaker 3: and now less than I think it's around ten percent.
27:07
Speaker 3: Thirteen was the last but that number keeps going down
27:10
Speaker 3: less than ten percent. That wasn't from laws. Yeah, pactes
27:15
Speaker 3: were increased on nicotine product. It was education drilling into
27:21
Speaker 3: your head that smoking is houzard is for your health.
27:24
Speaker 3: Smoking will coox Hans right, perfect example. Food education. Nutrition
27:31
Speaker 3: education can yield the same kind of results, only faster
27:34
Speaker 3: because we're smarter now, we have more access to the
27:38
Speaker 3: good information and the ability to get fill throughout the band.
27:41
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it is totally possible to go from
27:46
Speaker 1: being the sickest country in the world to one of
27:48
Speaker 1: the healthiest with just a few tweaks. Like you said,
27:50
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't have to be this incredibly complicated
27:53
Speaker 1: thing with huge amounts of science jargon. You know, you
27:56
Speaker 1: get rid of the fifty worst food out it is,
28:00
Speaker 1: and then you insist that health insurance focus on prevention,
28:05
Speaker 1: and you know, because how many times have you been
28:07
Speaker 1: to the doctor where they said, you know, we're going
28:09
Speaker 1: to test your microbiome to see if it's optimal. Never
28:14
Speaker 1: nobody's ever mentioned that to me either, you know, and
28:16
Speaker 1: they say, well, your your blood pressure is this, we
28:19
Speaker 1: can give you these statin drugs for you know, your cholesterol,
28:22
Speaker 1: will give you these other drugs for it. That's modern
28:25
Speaker 1: medicine right now, and it's you know, it's basically a
28:29
Speaker 1: business scam run by public health. And well, you know,
28:34
Speaker 1: you change that and you change everything, you know.
28:38
Speaker 3: So true. Uh, you know the old joke Take two
28:41
Speaker 3: and call me in the morning. That's what our medical
28:45
Speaker 3: system has become. A tilth pushers and big pharma who
28:50
Speaker 3: pays for all these guys get educated to get their yeah, right,
28:56
Speaker 3: and then you know, now we of this healthcare crisis.
29:02
Speaker 3: It is a crisis, and nobody has addressed it as
29:05
Speaker 3: a crisis.
29:06
Speaker 1: That's the key, right, Yeah, Well it's not a crisis
29:12
Speaker 1: if you're making billions of dollars from it. It's it's
29:15
Speaker 1: a finely tuned market, you know. And that's how that's
29:19
Speaker 1: how big pharma and big food view the current health system.
29:23
Speaker 1: They think it's working great, and so you know, you need,
29:27
Speaker 1: you need a bomb thrower to go into the system
29:29
Speaker 1: and just blow it up, And there's an outside chance
29:33
Speaker 1: that that happens in the next couple of years. And
29:35
Speaker 1: that's that's almost too good to be true. You know
29:38
Speaker 1: that I'd totally given up on the idea that the
29:43
Speaker 1: country was ever going to be a healthy country. You know,
29:46
Speaker 1: you know certain people who are in good shape and everything,
29:48
Speaker 1: and you know what you should do for yourself, but
29:51
Speaker 1: can't tell anybody else that stuff. So you know, don't
29:54
Speaker 1: don't eat process carbohydrates. You know, if you say that
29:57
Speaker 1: to ninety percent of Americans, they just look at you
30:00
Speaker 1: you blankly, because first of all, they don't know what
30:02
Speaker 1: the term is, you know, carbohydrates and process And second
30:05
Speaker 1: of all, that's eighty percent of their diets. So you know,
30:08
Speaker 1: if you take away their mountain dew and their their
30:10
Speaker 1: cookies and stuff like that, they wouldn't have any idea
30:14
Speaker 1: how to function in the world. So yeah, having that
30:17
Speaker 1: come from on high, you know, have that be government policy,
30:20
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden people start paying attention
30:22
Speaker 1: to it, so.
30:24
Speaker 3: A lot of your health issues can be addressed by
30:27
Speaker 3: fast like I started doing two and three day fab
30:32
Speaker 3: trying to do one every month, but sometimes it's a
30:34
Speaker 3: little harder than others. And you know, blood sugar get down,
30:39
Speaker 3: everything gets better. Use weight and apopagy. That's where your
30:44
Speaker 3: body starts digesting all the unhealthy proteins sells that have accumulated,
30:51
Speaker 3: aging to all these things. Anti dementia, that's another thing.
30:56
Speaker 3: Dimension now is often referred to John as type diabetes,
31:01
Speaker 3: all right, which means that blood sugar that the brain deteriorate,
31:06
Speaker 3: and the nerve celt die. So all these things. Well,
31:10
Speaker 3: we could go on and on about this, but it's
31:12
Speaker 3: just give me your left one line summary of what
31:16
Speaker 3: this election meant.
31:19
Speaker 1: Oh well, it meant a lot of entertainment for libertarians
31:24
Speaker 1: in the next few years, because this is going to
31:25
Speaker 1: be hilarious to watch. I mean it's already hilarious, but
31:28
Speaker 1: it's it's going to get even funnier when they instead
31:30
Speaker 1: of just talking about stuff, they actually start doing stuff.
31:34
Speaker 1: And I can't wait for the the video of people
31:40
Speaker 1: walking out of the FBI headquarters carrying a box with
31:43
Speaker 1: their all the stuff they had in their offices and oh,
31:45
Speaker 1: I'm going to Montana now. You know, it's just it's
31:49
Speaker 1: going to be too good to be true. And you know,
31:50
Speaker 1: our FK Junior is claiming that he's going to fire
31:53
Speaker 1: the top four hundred scientists at the FDA if that happens. Again,
31:59
Speaker 1: let's let's see the guys carrying their effects out in
32:02
Speaker 1: a box, you know, to go get a real job
32:05
Speaker 1: in the world where they actually have to produce something
32:08
Speaker 1: of value. So it's going to be fun. At the
32:10
Speaker 1: same time, there's going to be at least two assassinations
32:14
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years, and that's unavoidable just
32:18
Speaker 1: because the deep state won't go without a fight. So
32:20
Speaker 1: they're going to fight back with serious weaponry, legal and kinetic,
32:26
Speaker 1: you know. And so it's not going to be all
32:29
Speaker 1: fun and games. It's going to be terrifying at different times.
32:31
Speaker 1: And that's the nature of a revolution, so so be it.
32:36
Speaker 1: I think the guys who are making it happen understand that,
32:40
Speaker 1: and they know what they're getting into and.
32:43
Speaker 3: Think they voluntarily entered into it. So free will. I
32:48
Speaker 3: love the taste of liberal peers in the morning.
32:54
Speaker 1: Kerry. One other, well, there's a bunch more to say
32:57
Speaker 1: about the election, But one other thing that is a
32:59
Speaker 1: result of that is the bricks movement. Yeah, and Trump
33:04
Speaker 1: is saying, yeah, you know, if you try to start
33:06
Speaker 1: a new currency, we'll slap you with one hundred percent tariff.
33:09
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that that's the right way to
33:13
Speaker 1: approach it, because if you if you try to force
33:15
Speaker 1: people to use your currency, it's not going to make
33:19
Speaker 1: them want to use it even less. You know, it
33:22
Speaker 1: seems like if Trump came out and said, well, look,
33:25
Speaker 1: we've weaponized the dollar, I'm very sorry about that. It
33:27
Speaker 1: was a huge mistake. From now on, the dollar is
33:29
Speaker 1: going to be a neutral reserve asset. We will not
33:33
Speaker 1: kick people out of the Swiss system anymore. We will
33:35
Speaker 1: not levy sanctions on people. That's not the role of
33:39
Speaker 1: the manager of the world's reserve currency. I think that
33:42
Speaker 1: would short circuit the bricks movement. But saying you have
33:46
Speaker 1: to use our currency or we will attack you, I
33:50
Speaker 1: don't think that's a good policy. So we'll see. But
33:53
Speaker 1: it seems like a mistake.
33:55
Speaker 3: Let's look at what it because he threatened the Mexico
33:58
Speaker 3: and Canada of twenty five percent to get them feel
34:01
Speaker 3: the borders, and they're already doing it, or they will
34:04
Speaker 3: do it imminently. Let's just say that what he really
34:07
Speaker 3: wants to do what are his goaled make the dollar
34:11
Speaker 3: in the United States fundamentally sound, right, bring back sound money.
34:17
Speaker 3: And the only way to do that is to get
34:20
Speaker 3: those people the bricks to make a treaty with them,
34:23
Speaker 3: because the bricks on their own are going to break
34:25
Speaker 3: up because you have India, China, and Russia, and they
34:29
Speaker 3: have divergent interests, especially China, so that brick thing is
34:34
Speaker 3: not going to work anyway. But the dollar will get replaced.
34:38
Speaker 3: But if you can get them to say, all right,
34:42
Speaker 3: will we will agree to a treaty not to weaponize
34:45
Speaker 3: the dollar ever again, we will cut down the deficit
34:52
Speaker 3: to no more than like five percent of GDP. Right,
34:56
Speaker 3: and you undertake a whole bunch of things, because treaty
35:00
Speaker 3: are the law of the land. They're up there with statues. Right.
35:04
Speaker 3: So he does a treaty with these countries and then
35:07
Speaker 3: shove it down to Congress and through and then Congress
35:10
Speaker 3: has sports become spending because there's a treaty that they
35:15
Speaker 3: have to.
35:16
Speaker 1: Right.
35:16
Speaker 3: They tried to do this with the International Small Arms
35:19
Speaker 3: Treaty by banning small arms. The US never signed on
35:23
Speaker 3: to it, and it seems to have never gone into effect.
35:27
Speaker 3: It's exactly the same thing. I think got to look
35:30
Speaker 3: at it strategically that Trump doesn't just do something. He's
35:34
Speaker 3: got a goal in mind when he did it, and
35:36
Speaker 3: probably the goal is to not weaponize the dollar again
35:40
Speaker 3: and to normalize Russia again, to bring them back into
35:44
Speaker 3: the fold, because that will be part of the deal
35:46
Speaker 3: that happens when assuming he can settle the Ukraine War,
35:52
Speaker 3: all of the sanctions against Russia, a pledge to never
35:57
Speaker 3: and an international treaty never the weaponize it's a currency again,
36:01
Speaker 3: that I think is the end goal.
36:03
Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, but that's what I'm saying, is that
36:05
Speaker 1: he could go straight there without picking this particular fight,
36:08
Speaker 1: because by you know, threatening these tariffs, he's just doing
36:13
Speaker 1: what the government of the US has been doing for
36:15
Speaker 1: the last several decades that led to the creation of
36:19
Speaker 1: the bricks. So yeah, if he just did all this
36:21
Speaker 1: stuff you just said, that would be a better way
36:23
Speaker 1: of going about it. Just say just saying, look, we're
36:27
Speaker 1: going to be neutral again. You know, the dollar is
36:29
Speaker 1: something you can all hold as a reserve asset and
36:32
Speaker 1: we won't cheat and we won't abuse you. So I
36:35
Speaker 1: don't think he has to go through the whole you know, start,
36:40
Speaker 1: you know, making a threat to begin with, and then
36:42
Speaker 1: negotiating back backwards from That's That's all I'm saying, is
36:45
Speaker 1: that that'll be counterproductive.
36:48
Speaker 3: Yeah's just both can bring the sensors Smith to an end.
36:52
Speaker 3: Even Martin Armstrong is at his conference. He was optimistic,
36:56
Speaker 3: but he thinks in twenty six, twenty eight, it's going
36:59
Speaker 3: to be major problems in the world. He doesn't know
37:03
Speaker 3: what whether it's a dollar or you know, he doesn't
37:08
Speaker 3: know what the cause is. He can only he can
37:11
Speaker 3: only say with the system is telling him. And by
37:15
Speaker 3: the way, John, I'm almost done with my book with
37:19
Speaker 3: Martin Armstrong. It's entitled The the World according to Martin Armstrong,
37:27
Speaker 3: My decade long Conversation with the Master forecast going through
37:33
Speaker 3: every single interview I ever did with Martin, summarizing them
37:37
Speaker 3: and basically getting a forward from Martin on the book.
37:43
Speaker 3: And it'll be available, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
37:46
Speaker 1: Garry, I can't wait to see that. Let me have
37:49
Speaker 1: a copy when it's available, and I'll post an excerpt
37:52
Speaker 1: on substack. Yeah, excellent.
37:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be able to get it in Obviously, I'm
37:59
Speaker 3: not going in an audio book could abtain from audio,
38:02
Speaker 3: but you'll be able to get it for the kindle
