Joel Comm: Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to put on your
Joel Comm: conspiracy realist hat today, because we're going deep, deep, deep
Joel Comm: down the world financial system. Rabbit hole. To this day,
Joel Comm: the majority of Americans have no idea that the Federal
Joel Comm: Reserve Bank is neither a Department of the federal government
Joel Comm: nor a reserve. G. Edward Griffin is the preeminent expert
Joel Comm: on one of the biggest scams ever foisted on the
Joel Comm: American people. And he's back for a repeat appearance where
Joel Comm: we discuss the world's COVID 19 response, the Fed's printing spree,
Joel Comm: out-of-control inflation, and Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. Buckle up Buttercups.
Joel Comm: This is episode number 656. Of the Bad Crypto Podcast.
Joel Comm: Welcome. This is the Bad Crypto Podcast show for crypto curious crypto serious we
Joel Comm: blockchain blockheads, crypto clowns, nifty nerds. I am your dentist too.
Joel Comm: I was right. I do not know what this accent is.
Travis Wright: And welcome to the show. That was Joel being a creature,
Travis Wright: but not on Jekyll Island. He was a creature from
Travis Wright: somewhere else.
Joel Comm: I am very creature lee.
Travis Wright: Like creature effect isn't what I like to say. And
Travis Wright: so this episode here, folks, we're going to get into
Travis Wright: it quick. Jazzy. You know, G. Edward wasn't feeling so good then.
Travis Wright: He was feeling better. We talked a little bit about that.
Travis Wright: We talk about all kinds of things that's going on
Travis Wright: on this. And then we said, Hey, we probably need
Travis Wright: to drop an NFT for this one because how can
Travis Wright: you have the creature from Jekyll Island dealing with money
Travis Wright: and other stuff and not have an NFT around it?
Joel Comm: I got to say, Travis, you know, we interviewed him
Joel Comm: a couple of years ago during virtual blockchain week, two
Joel Comm: and a half years ago. I want to say on
Joel Comm: episode 351, Bad Call and Forward slash 351, we actually
Joel Comm: replayed that episode as a bust of a best of
Joel Comm: not a bust of a best of bad crypto. While
Joel Comm: we were on vacation in September and early October, we
Joel Comm: replayed that hopefully you heard that if not it, even
Joel Comm: though it's two and a half years old, totally worth
Joel Comm: going back and listening to. But when he came on
Joel Comm: the screen, I noticed I mean, the dude was 88
Joel Comm: or 89 years old when we interviewed him last time
Joel Comm: and he looked really good. He came on screen before you.
Joel Comm: You know, you came in and I thought, wow, he
Joel Comm: has aged, you know, physically a bunch, and then come
Joel Comm: to find out that he was pretty much they thought
Joel Comm: he was done, that he was on his death. Right.
Joel Comm: He shares about that in in this interview and.
Travis Wright: This is early nineties now like but is mental cognizance
Travis Wright: is impressive like yeah this you know so much and
Travis Wright: then he in then he knew to stop certain things
Travis Wright: along the way that wasn't going to be good for him.
Travis Wright: He inherently knew that and he's looking better he's got
Travis Wright: a good skin color now you could see that he's
Travis Wright: most likely he's gotten better from when he was feeling bad.
Travis Wright: But you're going to see all that. Maybe we can
Travis Wright: cover some of this after the show.
Joel Comm: Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, G. Edward Griffin. One
Joel Comm: of the most popular interviews that we have done to
Joel Comm: date took place on episode A number 351 of this show.
Joel Comm: It was during virtual blockchain week 2020, just shortly after
Joel Comm: lockdowns kicked in, and it was with the one and only G.
Joel Comm: Edward Griffin, the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island,
Joel Comm: revealing the scam that is the Federal Reserve Bank. And
Joel Comm: we are so grateful that he is back with us today.
Joel Comm: Because just before we started recording, I found out that
Joel Comm: he's not supposed to be here. So, Mr. Griffin, welcome
Joel Comm: back to the Bad Crypto podcast.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, thanks for having me back.
Joel Comm: But perhaps you could fill in now you know what
Joel Comm: happened after our last interview and why you're not supposed
Joel Comm: to be here.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, I'll try and not make it too long. You know,
G. Edward Griffin: it seems like all the old folks. Have only two
G. Edward Griffin: topics they like to discuss. One is their. Their health,
G. Edward Griffin: their ailments, and the other is their grandkids. So I
G. Edward Griffin: try and avoid both of those topics as much as possible.
G. Edward Griffin: But I do have a lot of friends and want
G. Edward Griffin: to know what happened to me. And so I am
G. Edward Griffin: not adverse to discussing it, but I just want to
G. Edward Griffin: let it be known. It's not my favorite topic. I'll
G. Edward Griffin: try and keep it short for your audience. It's significant,
G. Edward Griffin: I think, because a lot of people are going through
G. Edward Griffin: similar things that I did, but it was a little
G. Edward Griffin: over a year ago. It was in I think the
G. Edward Griffin: exact date was November 14. Last year, I was returning
G. Edward Griffin: from a red pill expo in Indianapolis, Indiana, that we
G. Edward Griffin: had put on there very, very high powered, highly successful meeting.
G. Edward Griffin: I was kind of run down and tired, but we
G. Edward Griffin: came out of it and I was coming back home
G. Edward Griffin: from Indianapolis, driving back to Los Angeles, and I was
G. Edward Griffin: ready to take a few days off. But a funny
G. Edward Griffin: thing happened on the way. I stopped off at a
G. Edward Griffin: friend's house to have a day with them, and then
G. Edward Griffin: when it came time to leave, I was standing at
G. Edward Griffin: the car getting ready to say goodbye to everybody. And
G. Edward Griffin: the hostess looked at me. She said, Ed, are you okay?
G. Edward Griffin: And I remember thinking, Well, of course I'm okay. Why
G. Edward Griffin: would you ask a silly question like that? And then
G. Edward Griffin: the next instant I knew I was not okay. I
G. Edward Griffin: was reading and I was quite dizzy. And they had
G. Edward Griffin: to prop me up and walk me back to the house.
G. Edward Griffin: And I kind of crashed out, I guess, because I
G. Edward Griffin: don't remember much of what happened the next few days.
G. Edward Griffin: I woke up with an oxygen tank at my bedside
G. Edward Griffin: and the tube up my nose and and and IVs
G. Edward Griffin: in my arm and not very mentally awake. And to
G. Edward Griffin: make a long story short, I, I was diagnosed was
G. Edward Griffin: pretty much what people would call COVID today. And. And
G. Edward Griffin: my view, by the way, I have to state is
G. Edward Griffin: that whatever COVID really is, it is real. But I
G. Edward Griffin: think it's merely maybe it really isn't the right word,
G. Edward Griffin: but it is it is weaponized version of the flu
G. Edward Griffin: because it has all the flu like symptoms, including the
G. Edward Griffin: ones I had. I was having trouble breathing, still having
G. Edward Griffin: a little trouble being short of breath, but not like then.
G. Edward Griffin: My heart was beating 152 beats per minute. And that lasted,
G. Edward Griffin: by the way, for a couple of months. They didn't
G. Edward Griffin: think that I was going to survive that. I didn't either.
G. Edward Griffin: I was delirious. I was I was hallucinating. I'm having
G. Edward Griffin: all kinds of weird things going in my through my brain.
G. Edward Griffin: And I was conscious enough to think, well, this is it.
G. Edward Griffin: I mean, I just celebrated my 90th birthday a few
G. Edward Griffin: days before when I figured, well, what happened when you
G. Edward Griffin: get those numbers really big like that? And everybody was
G. Edward Griffin: like looking at me. So sadly, I knew they thought
G. Edward Griffin: the same thing, too. So on that stage, once I finally,
G. Edward Griffin: I had to get be taken back to Los Angeles
G. Edward Griffin: in an ambulance because I wasn't able to fly. And
G. Edward Griffin: so I got back to Los Angeles and got hooked
G. Edward Griffin: up with a cardiologist. And he looked at me. He said,
G. Edward Griffin: Then we to get you in a hospital right away.
G. Edward Griffin: Your heart's not going to keep reading this fast much longer,
G. Edward Griffin: and you got a lot of other things going on.
G. Edward Griffin: So they checked me in the hospital and sure enough,
G. Edward Griffin: I had some other things going on. I had a
G. Edward Griffin: bleeding ulcer and a couple of other things, and all
G. Edward Griffin: of which added up to a very bad prognosis for
G. Edward Griffin: a guy who's 90 years old and barely able to
G. Edward Griffin: walk to the bathroom without help. So I wound up
G. Edward Griffin: in the hospital here in Ventura County for about a
G. Edward Griffin: month and took care of the bleeding ulcer. It's a
G. Edward Griffin: good thing they did because they said I would have
G. Edward Griffin: bled to death in another 20 hours or so. And
G. Edward Griffin: and then, of course, it was time to do something
G. Edward Griffin: with me. And they didn't know what to do, when
G. Edward Griffin: to put me in a nursing home. They didn't want
G. Edward Griffin: to call it a hospice or anything. But I had
G. Edward Griffin: a feeling that's what it really was. I said, Well, look,
G. Edward Griffin: if I don't have much of a chance, I'd rather
G. Edward Griffin: just be home now. I want to go home. They said, Well,
G. Edward Griffin: you know, we think you need nursing care and all
G. Edward Griffin: that stuff. And after about five or six days of
G. Edward Griffin: really arguing with the doctors, I finally got to go
G. Edward Griffin: back to my home and I got some good, real
G. Edward Griffin: tender care from my wife, who is a retired hour in.
G. Edward Griffin: Thank God for that. And began to I got off
G. Edward Griffin: the meds and Darvish. I don't get off the meds.
G. Edward Griffin: We need to keep the medications going. Your heart will
G. Edward Griffin: go back to 152 then. Yeah, but it's going down
G. Edward Griffin: to 32 now. Which car. And I had to do
G. Edward Griffin: something about that and everybody said well you can reduce
G. Edward Griffin: the meds but don't go off of them. So what
G. Edward Griffin: I did try to do. Do is practice what I preach.
G. Edward Griffin: I preach that Western medicine is broken. I think that
G. Edward Griffin: when it comes to breaking bones and repairing broken, broken bones,
G. Edward Griffin: it's very good. Plastic surgery is very good. Emergency medicine
G. Edward Griffin: is very good. But anything pertaining to a chronic condition
G. Edward Griffin: is very bad because it's been taken over by the
G. Edward Griffin: pharmaceutical industry. And the whole purpose of medical care today
G. Edward Griffin: and the chronic illnesses is not to cure the disease,
G. Edward Griffin: but to treat it and treat it and treat it
G. Edward Griffin: and treat it forevermore until the patient either dies or
G. Edward Griffin: runs out of money. And I knew that. And so
G. Edward Griffin: I decided, okay, I'm going to take myself off of
G. Edward Griffin: these meds. So I gradually started bringing it down. I
G. Edward Griffin: really didn't tell the doctor who I knew. He would say,
G. Edward Griffin: Don't do it. And I decided to take the risk
G. Edward Griffin: and I did it. I've been off the meds completely
G. Edward Griffin: now for about, oh, almost four months. I got off
G. Edward Griffin: the oxygen. I'm walking around. I'm in very solid state
G. Edward Griffin: of recovery. They wanted to put a pacemaker in me
G. Edward Griffin: at one point. And I said, first. I said, Yeah,
G. Edward Griffin: I guess I've got to do it all on the list.
G. Edward Griffin: And then I got to thinking about I change my mind.
G. Edward Griffin: So that didn't happen. So there it is in a nutshell.
G. Edward Griffin: Here I am a year later, and I'm. I'm driving around. I,
G. Edward Griffin: I drive my car. I go anyplace I want to go.
G. Edward Griffin: We go out to restaurants. Now I'm going to eat.
G. Edward Griffin: I'm about to walk into the restaurant. I sometimes carry
G. Edward Griffin: a cane, but lately I'm not even doing that. I'm.
G. Edward Griffin: I'm the.
Travis Wright: Creature. Curtis is creeping. Very nice.
G. Edward Griffin: So I'm, you know, I'm 92. I rather 91. I
G. Edward Griffin: finally got to be 91. I'm in my 92nd year now,
G. Edward Griffin: so I still don't expect this to go on forever.
G. Edward Griffin: But I'm very happy And and I, I'm here to
G. Edward Griffin: stay as far as I'm concerned.
Joel Comm: We're really glad for that. And, you know, any time
Joel Comm: somebody comes in, goes through COVID, it's easy to be
Joel Comm: reluctant to talk about the narrative because I you know,
Joel Comm: I had it, but it was a walk in the
Joel Comm: park for me. So in retrospect, after having gone through that,
Joel Comm: give us your overall evaluation of what you believe COVID
Joel Comm: actually is. Our response to it as a people, both
Joel Comm: domestic and globally and the the vaccine treatments.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that's pretty easy to do. I've already said what
G. Edward Griffin: I think it is technically. I think it's a variant
G. Edward Griffin: of what we used to call influenza or the flu.
G. Edward Griffin: And I think they weaponized it in some way. I
G. Edward Griffin: think it's more severe, especially for older people and those
G. Edward Griffin: with co-morbidity and morbidities. But nevertheless, it can be very
G. Edward Griffin: serious if you happen to be in those categories, which
G. Edward Griffin: I am. But I think that what COVID really is,
G. Edward Griffin: is a strategy. It's not a disease or a illness
G. Edward Griffin: so much as it is a public relations strategy to
G. Edward Griffin: convince the world that the human race is going to
G. Edward Griffin: be wiped off the surface of the earth unless everybody
G. Edward Griffin: gets vaccinated, gets on these regular vaccinations at least once
G. Edward Griffin: a year and probably three or four year. And in
G. Edward Griffin: the wake of all the fear that this has brought
G. Edward Griffin: up in the minds of most people, people have forgotten
G. Edward Griffin: about such things as what are their rights? What is
G. Edward Griffin: the proper function of the of the state? What happened
G. Edward Griffin: to my personal liberties to make my own decisions? How
G. Edward Griffin: come I'm being locked in my home? I can't even
G. Edward Griffin: go shopping and shopping? How come I gave up all
G. Edward Griffin: of these liberties? And how come they're taking away my
G. Edward Griffin: money now and they're talking gleefully about having a central bank,
G. Edward Griffin: digital currency, which will just be digital, and I won't
G. Edward Griffin: be able to have money in my pocket. And if
G. Edward Griffin: they throw a switch, I won't be able to buy
G. Edward Griffin: anything if they don't like what I say or do.
G. Edward Griffin: How did all of this happen? And the answer is COVID.
G. Edward Griffin: What we do is a strategy to bring all of
G. Edward Griffin: that about, because this is what Klaus Schwab likes to
G. Edward Griffin: describe as the great reset. The great reset really means
G. Edward Griffin: reset back to the Middle Ages, back to the days
G. Edward Griffin: when we had masters as slaves. And that's it. That's
G. Edward Griffin: what it's all about. On a very modern technological scale.
Travis Wright: Because they know exactly when we got to listen to them.
Travis Wright: Now they actually they actually just pass some Jedward around.
Travis Wright: You know, they just had the G20 and they were
Travis Wright: talking about how if the WHO says that some virus
Travis Wright: is bad enough, then you have to get a vaccine
Travis Wright: to even do any type of international travel now. So
Travis Wright: they were talking about it and then a bunch of
Travis Wright: countries signed off on that. So it's like it seems
Travis Wright: like they want this stuff to stay around for a
Travis Wright: while so they can use it as a control mechanism, right?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that's exactly it. This is a strategy. It's not
G. Edward Griffin: a it's not an illness. It's an invented illness is
G. Edward Griffin: what it is. It's an illness in that sense that
G. Edward Griffin: people get sick and a lot of people die from it.
G. Edward Griffin: But the truth of the matter is, if you look
G. Edward Griffin: at the statistics, the people who are dying are not
G. Edward Griffin: buying from dying from COVID. They're dying from the treatment
G. Edward Griffin: of COVID. And this is such a harsh thing. So
G. Edward Griffin: I wouldn't say unless I thought the hard statistics could
G. Edward Griffin: prove it over and over again. I'll give you a
G. Edward Griffin: little story. What happened to me in the hospital now
G. Edward Griffin: are back to me. Just watch time. I'll do that.
G. Edward Griffin: But after I was in there for about five or
G. Edward Griffin: six days and I had my surgery, my of course,
G. Edward Griffin: I was hooked up to the I.V. because they were
G. Edward Griffin: giving me blood transfusions and all that. So I was
G. Edward Griffin: doing nothing but lying in bed. So my sleep was
G. Edward Griffin: not very intense. I wake up at the slightest sound.
G. Edward Griffin: So about 2:00 in the morning, I hear a sound
G. Edward Griffin: in my room and I woke up and there's the
G. Edward Griffin: nurse and sweet little nurse. She is really trying to
G. Edward Griffin: take care of me and very cheerful. I said, Oh, hi,
G. Edward Griffin: how are you doing? She said, Oh, I'm fine. How
G. Edward Griffin: are you, Mr. Griffin? I said, What's going on? She's well,
G. Edward Griffin: I'm going to get you your medicine now. I know
G. Edward Griffin: what medicine is that? Oh, it's called Remdesivir.
Travis Wright: Oh.
G. Edward Griffin: I said What?
Travis Wright: Yeah.
G. Edward Griffin: But what do you mean by medicine? Why are you
G. Edward Griffin: giving me this medicine? She's. Well, it's on your. On
G. Edward Griffin: your chart. You have to have it. I said no,
G. Edward Griffin: I don't have to have it. That's not my medicine.
G. Edward Griffin: I'm not going to accept it. So I really came
G. Edward Griffin: unglued and she said, But it's your medicine. Look there.
G. Edward Griffin: It's not my medicine. I just don't want it and
G. Edward Griffin: I won't accept it. So that was the end of that,
G. Edward Griffin: I thought, until the following night at 2:00 or so,
G. Edward Griffin: and I woke up. Oh, hi. Well, what's going on? Well,
G. Edward Griffin: I'm going to give you your medicine. This is that medicine.
G. Edward Griffin: What I think it might be. She said, Well, it's remdesivir. Said, No,
G. Edward Griffin: I don't want it tonight either. This happened three nights
G. Edward Griffin: in a row. Wow. Now, mind you, when I went
G. Edward Griffin: into the hospital, I was not diagnosed as a COVID patient.
G. Edward Griffin: I had no testing. I wouldn't do a test. They
G. Edward Griffin: had no test. They didn't think it was. They just
G. Edward Griffin: thought I had pneumonia or something wrong with my heart.
G. Edward Griffin: So there was nothing in my record that indicated remdesivir,
G. Edward Griffin: which is pretty much reserved for treatment of COVID patients.
G. Edward Griffin: It's just because the hospital makes what they make $37,000
G. Edward Griffin: on every bag of remdesivir they put into a patient.
G. Edward Griffin: And then, of course, that ruins that person's kidneys. And
G. Edward Griffin: so they go on dialysis and then they go on
G. Edward Griffin: ventilator machines. And so. Hospitals are making oh, heck, they'll
G. Edward Griffin: make a call. Some people say a couple hundred thousand
G. Edward Griffin: dollars if they can kill a person claiming it was
G. Edward Griffin: a COVID 19. Now, there you have the harsh reality
G. Edward Griffin: of what's happened to Western medicine. It's death by prescription.
Travis Wright: That's violent, really. If you think about it, you how
Travis Wright: can those friends. They don't They think they're doing the
Travis Wright: good thing. I think some of them believe like, oh,
Travis Wright: my God, I'm doing exactly the right thing. In reality,
Travis Wright: it is slow killing people and they don't even realize it.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, you know, at the lower level, that's true of
G. Edward Griffin: all the nurses I talked to in the hospital, had
G. Edward Griffin: that feeling They were doing the right thing. I got
G. Edward Griffin: to tell you another side story, since nobody knows what
G. Edward Griffin: hospital I was in, I guess it's safe to say.
G. Edward Griffin: I would hate to have this woman fired, but she
G. Edward Griffin: came into my room Monday, introduced herself, said I'm the
G. Edward Griffin: head nurse. Well, she didn't say whether she was the
G. Edward Griffin: head nurse for the hospital or for the ward that
G. Edward Griffin: I was on, but it didn't make a difference. She's
G. Edward Griffin: the head nurse and she wasn't there for my medical condition,
G. Edward Griffin: but sort of a public relations visit. Well, how is
G. Edward Griffin: this service here? Are you are you treated well? Are
G. Edward Griffin: you happy with what's happening and so forth and. Oh, yeah,
G. Edward Griffin: everything is fine. And so I got to talking with
G. Edward Griffin: her and. The question came up what kind of treatment
G. Edward Griffin: we're getting? I said, Well, you know, I'm not a
G. Edward Griffin: fan of Western medicine. It was a long silence. And
G. Edward Griffin: she looked at me. She said. Neither am I. Hmm.
G. Edward Griffin: And she said I shouldn't have said that. I said,
G. Edward Griffin: I know you shouldn't. You shouldn't have said that. But
G. Edward Griffin: she said, No, I know what you mean, Mr. Gribben.
G. Edward Griffin: So there are people. And then, of course, there was
G. Edward Griffin: a doctor that helped me get into the hospital, get
G. Edward Griffin: the surgery. Who is totally on board, Who knows what's
G. Edward Griffin: going on? And he would not receive you would not
G. Edward Griffin: accept a vaccination at all. They thought you his colleagues
G. Edward Griffin: thought he was crazy. They thought he was a real
G. Edward Griffin: nut case because he wouldn't take a vaccine. Now it's
G. Edward Griffin: a year later and they're all very friendly with him again.
G. Edward Griffin: And they're all saying, no, I would never I never
G. Edward Griffin: get a second one. But they didn't take the third one.
G. Edward Griffin: So things are changing. And I mention this story because.
G. Edward Griffin: These people in the medical profession, most of them are
G. Edward Griffin: well intentioned. It's just that they're so close to the
G. Edward Griffin: center of the whirlwind that they're susceptible to the propaganda,
G. Edward Griffin: just like everyone else. And, you know, if you spent
G. Edward Griffin: how many years in med school learning about medications and
G. Edward Griffin: learning to respect everything that comes out of the pharmaceutical industry,
G. Edward Griffin: it's a hard switcheroo to make to think these guys
G. Edward Griffin: these guys are actually trying to kill people for money.
G. Edward Griffin: Mm hmm.
Joel Comm: There is a documentary that's out there right now that
Joel Comm: some would say is conspiracy theory. I have not seen it.
Joel Comm: So I have not had a chance to evaluate it
Joel Comm: for myself. But it's called died suddenly. And it alleges
Joel Comm: that these vaccines are killing far more people, especially prematurely
Joel Comm: young people, than would have had there not been vaccines
Joel Comm: at all. What are your thoughts on that?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that used to be a controversial statement. It's not
G. Edward Griffin: anymore because it's so obvious that the stats are everywhere
G. Edward Griffin: and the people are talking about it at all levels,
G. Edward Griffin: including the World Health Organization, including the CDC. They're actually
G. Edward Griffin: mentioning what you just said. Have we're concerned. It looks
G. Edward Griffin: like these vaccines are causing more conditions and more illnesses
G. Edward Griffin: and more deaths than the condition that they're supposed to
G. Edward Griffin: be treating. It's no longer even controversial to say that.
Joel Comm: And we don't know the long term effects. That's the
Joel Comm: big thing, right? Yes. It's they're taking lives prematurely. But
Joel Comm: what's going to happen three, five, ten years from now?
Joel Comm: How are these vaccines? Are they altering something in our DNA?
Joel Comm: We just we just don't know.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, of course I'm the wrong person to answer that
G. Edward Griffin: question because my medical background is zero. But I do
G. Edward Griffin: read a lot. And I mean, I read medical reports
G. Edward Griffin: and I listen to the presentations made by researchers and
G. Edward Griffin: doctors in the field. And I know how to listen.
G. Edward Griffin: I know how to read. And what they're telling me
G. Edward Griffin: is exactly what you said. And that is that they
G. Edward Griffin: are these so-called vaccines are not vaccines at all. They
G. Edward Griffin: were never designed to delay the transmission of COVID, nor
G. Edward Griffin: were they designed to to make you more immune to it.
G. Edward Griffin: That came out to I one of those official papers.
G. Edward Griffin: Somebody asked them to provide the test results of the
G. Edward Griffin: tests that they ran to prove, you know, how effective
G. Edward Griffin: were these in preventing transmission and so forth. And the
G. Edward Griffin: answer came back or we never got around to doing
G. Edward Griffin: those because this was an emergency and we just had
G. Edward Griffin: to move ahead without the tests. So there was no
G. Edward Griffin: evidence that this was on purpose to prevent transmission or
G. Edward Griffin: to reduce the symptoms, although they did say that at
G. Edward Griffin: first that it would reduce symptoms. Then they got all
G. Edward Griffin: of that because that wasn't true either. In other words,
G. Edward Griffin: you have to you have to just follow the facts.
G. Edward Griffin: And the facts are that these are not vaccines. They
G. Edward Griffin: weren't designed to do what vaccines traditionally do. They were
G. Edward Griffin: designed to to change the DNA structure of the human being. Supposedly,
G. Edward Griffin: they said so that somehow the human immune system would
G. Edward Griffin: begin to produce its own protection against COVID. But but
G. Edward Griffin: that they didn't know because it's never been done before.
G. Edward Griffin: So it was all experimental. Hence, we get these phrases,
G. Edward Griffin: the experimental vaccine and but it's not even an experimental vaccine.
G. Edward Griffin: It's experimental gene therapy is what it is. Now, as
G. Edward Griffin: to why they would do that, that opens up a
G. Edward Griffin: can of worms. And of course, there are all kinds
G. Edward Griffin: of explanations and theories on it. None of them are
G. Edward Griffin: any good.
Travis Wright: So I want to ask you about that Jedward around that.
Travis Wright: So let's say we know from your previous research that,
Travis Wright: you know, the Federal Reserve Bank, there's a lot of
Travis Wright: craziness going on around that. The people who run it,
Travis Wright: the trustees of the Federal Reserve Bank, the IRS, and,
Travis Wright: you know, paper money, we understand that. What do we
Travis Wright: think that the long term goal is with this vaccine?
Travis Wright: Because a lot of people on the left are taking
Travis Wright: these vaccines as quickly as they're being offered them. And
Travis Wright: it would seem that that's their voting base, not that
Travis Wright: they need a voting base anymore with electronic voting machines.
Travis Wright: But do we I mean, even even 40 years ago,
Travis Wright: he said you don't know what's going on with the vaccine.
Travis Wright: You don't know until, you know, seven, ten, 15 years later,
Travis Wright: then you know the result. So here we are in
Travis Wright: this space where now they've all sort of changed their tune.
Travis Wright: Now they're saying how great it is, even though they
Travis Wright: know deep down it's not great. Do we think that
Travis Wright: their end goal is to sort of eliminate a vast
Travis Wright: amount of people? Is that what your assumptions would tell
Travis Wright: you at this point?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, let's put it this way. If I if I
G. Edward Griffin: just get my feelings out of the way, I get my.
G. Edward Griffin: Credulity out of the way because certain things are just
G. Edward Griffin: almost impossible to believe. It could be true. It just
G. Edward Griffin: seems so crazy. Get that out of the way and
G. Edward Griffin: just look at the facts. If you do that, here's
G. Edward Griffin: what you come up with. The leading names in this
G. Edward Griffin: whole movement are Rockefeller and Gates. And finally, she, of course,
G. Edward Griffin: follows in that same category. He's funded by those people
G. Edward Griffin: and all of them. And their families, as far as
G. Edward Griffin: many generations, have been pioneers in the field of population reduction.
G. Edward Griffin: Mm hmm. I mean, it's just a matter of record.
Travis Wright: Bill Gates. Dad was a eugenics guy. He was huge.
G. Edward Griffin: They're all eugenics people. So coincidence. How come it's the.
G. Edward Griffin: The people who are eugenics? Mad Men are in the
G. Edward Griffin: forefront of this whole vaccine movement. Yeah. What do you
G. Edward Griffin: what does a sane person conclude that maybe this has
G. Edward Griffin: something to do with it?
Travis Wright: That was one reason I didn't take it immediately. I
Travis Wright: was like, Wait a second, these same people. Bill Gates
Travis Wright: did a TED talk on vaccines, reducing ten 15% of
Travis Wright: the people. These same people were talking about population reduction
Travis Wright: and control, and now they're all concerned about our health
Travis Wright: and well-being. So they want to take these vaccines like
Travis Wright: it was a huge red flag right from the get
Travis Wright: go for me.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that was for you. So you happened to be
G. Edward Griffin: listening and thinking. But, you know, unfortunately, let's face it,
G. Edward Griffin: the population has been dumbed down so much, they don't
G. Edward Griffin: think and they don't listen and they just watch television.
G. Edward Griffin: And whatever the final sentence is at the end of
G. Edward Griffin: the news, that's the conclusion of what they what the
G. Edward Griffin: news means. And so they say, okay, it's everything's under control.
G. Edward Griffin: These good people at the top have my interests in mind.
G. Edward Griffin: I just do what I'm not foolish.
Joel Comm: Foolish infant. We we get called conspiracy theorists now, especially Travis,
Joel Comm: because he really likes to go down, invent with the
Joel Comm: rabbit holes.
Travis Wright: I'm a conspiracy realist at this point. I mean, my aunt.
Joel Comm: I get it. So during all of this, it then
Joel Comm: became an excuse for the Fed to print more money
Joel Comm: to stimulate the economy, in fact, more money in a
Joel Comm: two year period than they had ever printed in what, decades?
Joel Comm: And so now we've got this crazy rampant inflation. And
Joel Comm: I don't know what they do next. You know, how
Joel Comm: much longer can this economy sustain and be propped up
Joel Comm: by the Fed?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, I'm back with your Afrasiabi conspiracy theorist, because that's
G. Edward Griffin: what's going to sound like when I get my answer and.
G. Edward Griffin: And you just said you're a conspiracy realist. I like that.
G. Edward Griffin: I used to think that we would call the people
G. Edward Griffin: on the other side conspiracy populists, because there are people
G. Edward Griffin: like that. But I think the better name.
Travis Wright: Also that I want people on all the things.
G. Edward Griffin: That say for that is skeptics are pretty pretty safe
G. Edward Griffin: because they're usually right. But anyway, it's it's this appeal
G. Edward Griffin: that I have been labeled with for a long time.
G. Edward Griffin: I'd almost become comfortable with it because it seems like
G. Edward Griffin: all the people whose opinions I respect in other areas,
G. Edward Griffin: when we get on these areas, they're what what would
G. Edward Griffin: be called conspiracy theorists. So I'm beginning to feel very
G. Edward Griffin: comfortable being in good company with the people who think
G. Edward Griffin: and who read and who really know what's going on
G. Edward Griffin: in the world. But anyway, so let's see back to
G. Edward Griffin: the main question, which I almost have forgotten now. It's so. Yeah.
G. Edward Griffin: What are they? What are they really up to? Is
G. Edward Griffin: that what you're asking? What is them? Do I believe
G. Edward Griffin: that they're trying to kill?
Joel Comm: Yeah. Yeah. With all the money they've printed in out of.
Joel Comm: Out of control inflation. And, you know, they're trying to
Joel Comm: get to a universal basic income. And what is. Where
Joel Comm: are they trying to go?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that's a major question to answer. I think if
G. Edward Griffin: you back away a little bit from the picture and
G. Edward Griffin: get far enough away that you can see the frame
G. Edward Griffin: around the picture and all the wallpaper a little bit
G. Edward Griffin: behind it and really understand where the whole thing. A
G. Edward Griffin: lot of moving parts in this picture. It all adds
G. Edward Griffin: up to one thing and that is power. Power. We
G. Edward Griffin: think it's money. But why do people want money? It's
G. Edward Griffin: because money brings power. Money is one avenue to power.
G. Edward Griffin: There are other avenues, too, but money is the quickest
G. Edward Griffin: and surest route to power. And the only reason, primarily
G. Edward Griffin: the most people want money. Lots of it. Lots of it.
G. Edward Griffin: And maybe all of it is because money represents the
G. Edward Griffin: degree to which you can. You can obtain the services
G. Edward Griffin: of other people. That's all it is. Well, the more
G. Edward Griffin: money you have, the more services you can obtain from
G. Edward Griffin: other people if you have all the money. Now you
G. Edward Griffin: have all of the services of all the people at
G. Edward Griffin: your disposal. And that's called slavery. So in the beginning,
G. Edward Griffin: I think back in the days of the Federal Reserve
G. Edward Griffin: formation back in 1910, 1914, the players of that game
G. Edward Griffin: were mostly interested in just how to make money and
G. Edward Griffin: how to legalize plunder of the population. It was all
G. Edward Griffin: about money, money, money, because money was the path to power. Now,
G. Edward Griffin: in our current age of technology, there are other roads
G. Edward Griffin: to power. And in fact, I think that these people
G. Edward Griffin: have finally figured out that money no longer is a
G. Edward Griffin: road to power. It'll be a means of exercising power
G. Edward Griffin: once you've got it. Once you get people away from
G. Edward Griffin: all currencies and national currencies or silver or gold coins
G. Edward Griffin: or blue chip stamps or Disneyland tickets or whatever you
G. Edward Griffin: want to use for barter, you can get people away
G. Edward Griffin: from all of these things and have one international currency. Now,
G. Edward Griffin: it doesn't make any difference how much there is because
G. Edward Griffin: it's all controlled by the people at the top anyway.
G. Edward Griffin: Nobody knows how many units are out there. It doesn't
G. Edward Griffin: make any difference. You get what you get and the
G. Edward Griffin: number of units purchasing power units that you get depends
G. Edward Griffin: entirely on how obedient you are. And money has then disappears,
G. Edward Griffin: as in its traditional role. So I think nothing has
G. Edward Griffin: changed in the sense that in the beginning men were
G. Edward Griffin: interested in power. What has changed is that money alone,
G. Edward Griffin: although it still is the main road to power, is
G. Edward Griffin: being maneuvered in such a way so that very soon
G. Edward Griffin: it's going to collapse and people will say good riddance.
G. Edward Griffin: Look how terrible this has all turned out. And what's next?
G. Edward Griffin: Wasn't it? What did you how are you going to
G. Edward Griffin: solve this problem? And they'll forget that the same people
G. Edward Griffin: who are solving the problem are the ones that created
G. Edward Griffin: the problem in the first place. And they won't connect
G. Edward Griffin: it up. They won't say, Oh, actually, these guys destroyed
G. Edward Griffin: the old system so they could install a new system
G. Edward Griffin: that's even worse than the old system. So that's my
G. Edward Griffin: short answer. And the next question is, well, what what
G. Edward Griffin: is worse? And what is worse is a digital currency
G. Edward Griffin: that's completely controlled by the banks. And there they'll be
G. Edward Griffin: in partnership with the government. It's a public private partnership
G. Edward Griffin: between corporations and government. That's the definition of fascism, of course.
G. Edward Griffin: And so it's global fascism by definition. And you don't
G. Edward Griffin: really need money because it's mean you can't earn it.
G. Edward Griffin: You are awarded money depending upon your role. It's like
G. Edward Griffin: being in the military. If you're a general, you get
G. Edward Griffin: lots of lots of perks. You can go anywhere you want.
G. Edward Griffin: You even got a car, provided you got drivers, provided
G. Edward Griffin: you live in a big house. You don't have to
G. Edward Griffin: pay for any of that with money. It's all provided
G. Edward Griffin: for you. And in the collectivist system, like Klaus Schwab
G. Edward Griffin: and his buddies are talking about, there'll be units like that.
G. Edward Griffin: There'll be digital bank currency units. You don't know how yet.
G. Edward Griffin: You have plenty of them. Don't worry about it. The
G. Edward Griffin: guy down on the bottom end doesn't have enough. And
G. Edward Griffin: people like you and me will have none because they
G. Edward Griffin: don't like what we say. So it's still power. And nevertheless,
G. Edward Griffin: in fact, this new system of changing the old currencies
G. Edward Griffin: from dollars and pesos and all that sort of thing
G. Edward Griffin: into digital currency units or tokens is the final step
G. Edward Griffin: in global power. And that'll be so powerful and so,
G. Edward Griffin: so airtight. It's difficult to imagine how anybody could escape it.
G. Edward Griffin: That's why they're doing it. They're destroying the old system
G. Edward Griffin: on purpose, and they're doing it deliberately so that people
G. Edward Griffin: will beg for the new system.
Travis Wright: You got to wake up people. You got to wake up.
Travis Wright: This is exactly the last guy who in the United
Travis Wright: States tried to get rid of the Federal Reserve Bank
Travis Wright: in the currencies, was a guy name John F Kennedy,
Travis Wright: who matter of fact, today it is November 22nd, 2022.
Travis Wright: 59 years ago today, JFK was conveniently put away and
Travis Wright: they moved on down the road without him. And, you know,
Travis Wright: a lot of things have changed since then. But I
Travis Wright: have always sort of looked at that and I said, well,
Travis Wright: you know, it looked to me like he was trying
Travis Wright: to do right by the American people. And then the
Travis Wright: powers that be, those unelected few said, Nope, we're going
Travis Wright: to keep this train run. And then that was basically
Travis Wright: never solved. They never really figured it out. Or the
Travis Wright: official story of JFK never sort of came out. And
Travis Wright: you talk about power and you're exactly spot on from
Travis Wright: my research on this is the more money they get,
Travis Wright: then the more then they can buy and then the
Travis Wright: more influence that they can wield. They buy the media outlets.
Travis Wright: They pay for the World Economic Forum, these global bankers. Right.
Travis Wright: The Rockefeller Institute. I read this thing called Lockstep years ago, ten,
Travis Wright: 12 years ago. And the fact that the Rockefeller Foundation
Travis Wright: put out and it's basically play by play what happened
Travis Wright: with COVID. And then you see the John you know,
Travis Wright: the John Hopkins Institute, they had a thing called Spars,
Travis Wright: which was basically the media guide on what to say
Travis Wright: when all this stuff goes down. And so it's like
Travis Wright: you can see how they're weaving their power, you can
Travis Wright: see how they influence everything. And we could see how
Travis Wright: if you get in the way, they're not afraid to
Travis Wright: take out a president, which is why I'm surprised. In
Travis Wright: some ways, Trump has never been martyred, but maybe that's
Travis Wright: what they're scared of the most is him being a martyr.
Travis Wright: So how do we evolve out of this? Do we
Travis Wright: have a solution? Do we know what it's going to
Travis Wright: take for us to break free from the powers that
Travis Wright: be currently and actually get to a point where decentralization
Travis Wright: or or the people who care more about humanity are
Travis Wright: in charge? Or, I mean, what are we got to do?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, you want the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Travis Wright: Man, I love the truth.
G. Edward Griffin: And the answer is, I don't know. Nobody knows. This
G. Edward Griffin: has never happened before in history. We've had the possibility
G. Edward Griffin: made by. Advanced technology to possibility to actually enslave every
G. Edward Griffin: human being on the surface of the planet. And to
G. Edward Griffin: do it with technology, which is through the banking system.
G. Edward Griffin: It's never been done before, and therefore there's nothing in
G. Edward Griffin: the historical record. Which we can turn to say, well,
G. Edward Griffin: how did how did that work out last time? How
G. Edward Griffin: did they get rid of it last time? Right. But
G. Edward Griffin: the only thing we do know that whatever it is,
G. Edward Griffin: it exists. And on top of that, whatever it is
G. Edward Griffin: that exists, it will require information and require that people
G. Edward Griffin: like you and me add up to about 15% of
G. Edward Griffin: the population, must know the truth and must be of
G. Edward Griffin: sufficient calibre of responsibility. And bravery has to be sufficiently
G. Edward Griffin: high to be a cadre of 15% in my view
G. Edward Griffin: of the population, if they could get really on there and,
G. Edward Griffin: you know, get righteously indignant like we are, for example.
G. Edward Griffin: I mean, I go to sleep thinking about these things.
G. Edward Griffin: I wake up thinking about these things. I am mad
G. Edward Griffin: as hell and we need 15% of the population who
G. Edward Griffin: are mad as hell and informed. Also not not just
G. Edward Griffin: running around looking for somebody in the white horse. Like Mr. Trump,
G. Edward Griffin: for example. I hate to say that, but he's not
G. Edward Griffin: the man in the white horse. But people are looking
G. Edward Griffin: for someone like him. So if they write him up
G. Edward Griffin: and put him on a white horse, oh, there he is.
G. Edward Griffin: Especially if the opposition hates him so badly, visually hates
G. Edward Griffin: and hates and hates him. Well, we must be pretty good.
G. Edward Griffin: I didn't like him, but he might be pretty good
G. Edward Griffin: because look at these bad people that hate him so much.
G. Edward Griffin: You see how the possibilities open up when you understand
G. Edward Griffin: human nature. And these guys on the other side are
G. Edward Griffin: really their masters at it and psychological warfare. I was reading.
Joel Comm: A book and they do it through the media, too,
Joel Comm: and through social media. And that's where there's a ray of,
Joel Comm: you know, light poking through the darkness right now with
Joel Comm: Elon Musk buying Twitter because we're seeing information free speech
Joel Comm: come back in the social sphere in a way that
Joel Comm: we have not seen in the years. You could tell
Joel Comm: by what's trending on Twitter that it's not being manipulated
Joel Comm: like it was. People are being their accounts are being
Joel Comm: un suspended so that they can say what they want
Joel Comm: to say. And, you know, what are your thoughts? And
Joel Comm: this is is Elon Musk are we going to look
Joel Comm: back at him as one of the heroes of the
Joel Comm: 21st century?
G. Edward Griffin: Well, you guys have got a bad guy to interview
G. Edward Griffin: here today because I'm very skeptical of people that travel
G. Edward Griffin: in those circles.
Joel Comm: And that's okay. That's legitimate. He is a billionaire and
Joel Comm: he does have some unusual connections and he doesn't always
Joel Comm: do the right thing from what I've read. And, you know,
Joel Comm: his companies.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, that's right. So if if you're skeptical and you said,
G. Edward Griffin: wait a minute, don't push me too fast, I'm going
G. Edward Griffin: to make my own decision. The media is playing him
G. Edward Griffin: up as a big champion of freedom of speech, too.
G. Edward Griffin: But does anybody listen to his. His comments. I saw
G. Edward Griffin: them on live on television when it was announced that
G. Edward Griffin: he was considering buying the Twitter. And he said, you know,
G. Edward Griffin: I believe in free speech. And I just told him,
G. Edward Griffin: we will never, ever, we will never we'll never block
G. Edward Griffin: anything unless, of course, it's illegal. Did anybody hear that right?
G. Edward Griffin: They don't hear it. In other words, until the government
G. Edward Griffin: says you can't do it, you say, okay, we won't
G. Edward Griffin: block the government.
Travis Wright: Until it's illegal. But that's not even completely true because
Travis Wright: Twitter for the longest time had this trafficking issue and
Travis Wright: they had all these hashtags that were around, you know,
Travis Wright: child exploitation. He talks, he takes over, and within two
Travis Wright: days that those go away, those hashtag like anymore.
G. Edward Griffin: Yeah, but they'll come back. Mm hmm.
Travis Wright: How easy is it to disguise?
G. Edward Griffin: How easy is it to do something temporarily and look good?
G. Edward Griffin: Just if you want to satisfy yourself, go back and
G. Edward Griffin: look at the Trump trail, things that he said he
G. Edward Griffin: was going to did. He did cancel the the the
G. Edward Griffin: tree in Paris. I guess he was in Paris then
G. Edward Griffin: the environmental tree. But he was going down the tanks anyway.
G. Edward Griffin: Nobody was in agreement with it. And then quietly, I
G. Edward Griffin: guess about nine months later comes up with a new treaty.
G. Edward Griffin: It's even worse. But nobody talks about that. They forgot
G. Edward Griffin: about that bar, and everything that was undone gets redone.
G. Edward Griffin: You see, I What are the two most important? Maybe
G. Edward Griffin: the three most important issues that face America today. And
G. Edward Griffin: for a long time, the two most I was starting
G. Edward Griffin: off with is the monetary system and the sovereignty of
G. Edward Griffin: the nation being gobbled up by internationalism, the United Nations
G. Edward Griffin: and other words, we're going to lose our sovereignty, lose
G. Edward Griffin: control of our money, lose control of our military, lose
G. Edward Griffin: control of our educational systems? Are we all going to
G. Edward Griffin: be gobbled up in a new world order and are
G. Edward Griffin: we going to have our own money? Are always been,
G. Edward Griffin: in my view, the two main issues, and nobody in
G. Edward Griffin: either political party of the major political parties has ever,
G. Edward Griffin: ever challenged or even wanted to discuss any one of
G. Edward Griffin: those two most important of all issues. It's never up
G. Edward Griffin: for discussion. Nothing changes. And the two most important issues,
G. Edward Griffin: nothing changes over decades and decades with all kinds of
G. Edward Griffin: battles going on. But nothing really changes. And the two
G. Edward Griffin: most important ones. Now we come to a third one.
G. Edward Griffin: Now COVID. What has changed? Is anybody taking a stand? Mr.
G. Edward Griffin: Trump says, Oh, no, I'm going to fast track this thing.
G. Edward Griffin: We're going to spend trillions of dollars, we're going to
G. Edward Griffin: get everybody vaccinated, and nobody listens to it because, well,
G. Edward Griffin: he's a good guy. So I don't listen to the
G. Edward Griffin: things he said. I don't trust any of these people.
G. Edward Griffin: That's what I'm.
Travis Wright: Trying. It's really hard. It is really hard to trust him.
Travis Wright: I want to actually ask you about this because you
Travis Wright: said 15% of the population. We just passed 8 million
Travis Wright: people that based on that math, we're going to need
Travis Wright: about 1.2 billion people worldwide. To rise up is about
Travis Wright: a 15%. I would like to call on a study
Travis Wright: that I read not long ago about these 7000 Buddhist
Travis Wright: monks that was doing transcendental meditation of some sort where
Travis Wright: they were praying for a peaceful outcome. And what's really
Travis Wright: interesting is those 7000 meditators over the course of a
Travis Wright: week was meditating around a cause, and then worldwide terrorism dropped, coincidentally, Also,
Travis Wright: crime dropped in a lot of cities, 20, 30% around
Travis Wright: the world. So it makes me wonder if if if
Travis Wright: we're all we're all sort of connected by this unified field, right.
Travis Wright: When we we're all made of energy and frequency and vibration,
Travis Wright: according to Tesla. Can I just wonder and it's not
Travis Wright: even a question like how we can impact that unified
Travis Wright: field and maybe even intend positive loving vibrations for the
Travis Wright: world in a collective where we don't even necessarily have
Travis Wright: to be a billion people strong, where we can impact
Travis Wright: things to make things start moving in our direction positively.
Travis Wright: And if so, I just wonder, you know, man, just
Travis Wright: get a few people, 10,000 people start off with where
Travis Wright: every day at 11, 11 or something, they're praying for
Travis Wright: the the peace of the world and love for the world. And,
Travis Wright: you know, just, you know, kind of help us avoid
Travis Wright: tyranny because there's it's just such a weird place that
Travis Wright: we're in. And I don't know that it doesn't seem
Travis Wright: like violence is going to be a path that we
Travis Wright: can take. We have to choose the path of love
Travis Wright: and somehow to out love them because they're so full
Travis Wright: of hate and anger or something. I it just seems
Travis Wright: to me that maybe maybe that's a solution potentially. I
Travis Wright: don't even know.
G. Edward Griffin: Well, I don't really know either. I certainly am all
G. Edward Griffin: for love and compassion and and peace and and understanding
G. Edward Griffin: and tolerance and all these good things. Oneness with the universe.
G. Edward Griffin: I really. I really am. And in very great sympathy
G. Edward Griffin: with all of these these ideas. But when I look
G. Edward Griffin: back at history. I don't see where they. Have really
G. Edward Griffin: changed much. Now you don't need. You don't need violence to.
G. Edward Griffin: How should I say this?
Travis Wright: Maybe we need consequences because it seems like these people
Travis Wright: who are doing this stuff, there's no consequences for that.
G. Edward Griffin: Let me give you an example what I'm talking about here.
G. Edward Griffin: I was involved in some local political action here a
G. Edward Griffin: few few years ago where it was important to change
G. Edward Griffin: the the the County Board of Supervisors composition. You're all
G. Edward Griffin: made up with these communists or Nazis. I mean, they
G. Edward Griffin: were literally communists and Nazis. They didn't even know it,
G. Edward Griffin: but they were believers in all of the strategies. And
G. Edward Griffin: they were going to they were going to improve mankind,
G. Edward Griffin: whether mankind wanted it or not, no matter how, how
G. Edward Griffin: much it cost, and no matter how many people got hurt,
G. Edward Griffin: mankind was going to be improved. And we're going to
G. Edward Griffin: put in we're going to increase our budget for for
G. Edward Griffin: the homeless. Even though they knew that every time they
G. Edward Griffin: they doubled their budget, the homeless numbers would double because
G. Edward Griffin: that's the way it works. If you if you start
G. Edward Griffin: you if you start giving away free stuff, then there
G. Edward Griffin: are more people in line for the free stuff. And
G. Edward Griffin: you can't solve that problem by simply spending more money
G. Edward Griffin: for free stuff. You just wind up with everybody in
G. Edward Griffin: line for free stuff. And so these are the kind
G. Edward Griffin: of people I'm talking about now. They believe in using
G. Edward Griffin: violence to to withhold to to maintain their control over
G. Edward Griffin: the local county. But we got rid of them. We
G. Edward Griffin: didn't use violence. We just use political campaigns. And educational
G. Edward Griffin: campaigns got organized. And we did it with really less
G. Edward Griffin: than 15% of the population by far, I would say,
G. Edward Griffin: about probably active people with about 3% were able to
G. Edward Griffin: do it in that case. But on a national scale
G. Edward Griffin: or international scale, I think 15% is a is a
G. Edward Griffin: relatively good number. Now, let me explain why I'm using
G. Edward Griffin: these numbers. This does not come from any kind of
G. Edward Griffin: a scientific study that I'm familiar with, but it comes
G. Edward Griffin: from my own personal observation over a long period of
G. Edward Griffin: time is that history is always written by the less
G. Edward Griffin: than 1% of the population. I mean, certainly was true.
G. Edward Griffin: Let's take a let's take a look at the American Revolution.
G. Edward Griffin: We think, well, the American Revolution was fought when the
G. Edward Griffin: colonists rose up against King George and they stopped his
G. Edward Griffin: his man at the Bridge of Concord. And we fought
G. Edward Griffin: the war. And it was because the whole nation was
G. Edward Griffin: against the crown. Nothing could be further from the truth.
G. Edward Griffin: The numbers, as far as I can tell, the people
G. Edward Griffin: who actually were active, active on the battlefield was about
G. Edward Griffin: less than well, definitely less than 3% of the population.
G. Edward Griffin: And these weren't people that just picked up their their
G. Edward Griffin: muskets and met the British at the bridge because they
G. Edward Griffin: heard they were coming. These were people who were already
G. Edward Griffin: part of a militia or part of local government. These
G. Edward Griffin: weren't just the colonists who rose up when they got
G. Edward Griffin: mad as hell wouldn't take it anymore. They were they
G. Edward Griffin: were 13 governments, 13 nations. And you might say that
G. Edward Griffin: came together and united to fight the British. And it
G. Edward Griffin: was all done with about 1% of the population as
G. Edward Griffin: the let's call them, the. The thought leaders, you know,
G. Edward Griffin: people like Thomas Paine and his famous booklets that they circulated.
G. Edward Griffin: And and people like Madison and Jefferson, 1% if that.
G. Edward Griffin: And then they were surrounded by 3% of the influencers.
G. Edward Griffin: Those would be the the people with the stores, the
G. Edward Griffin: wealthy farmers, the plantation owners. Yes. Some of them had slaves.
G. Edward Griffin: That's true. I know. With part of that part of
G. Edward Griffin: the mix. And but they were the people that ran
G. Edward Griffin: the shops and the pubs. Those were the influencers. And
G. Edward Griffin: that was about 3% of the population. And then 15%, approximately,
G. Edward Griffin: appears to have gathered around to support them. So 1% leaving,
G. Edward Griffin: the 3% leaving or 50% was able to win the
G. Edward Griffin: American Revolution. It was not 100% of the population. And
G. Edward Griffin: you look back at all of the revolutions of history
G. Edward Griffin: and the great transitions even outside of politics. Take a
G. Edward Griffin: look at religions, for example. Start with a very small
G. Edward Griffin: number and but they're the influencers. Then you get your supporters.
G. Edward Griffin: And finally, all nations will become devoted to a particular religion,
G. Edward Griffin: one that reaches that that stepping or that turning point
G. Edward Griffin: or the tipping point of about 15%. It's in, it's over.
G. Edward Griffin: So I always feel that in our in our war,
G. Edward Griffin: I look at the number of people who are actually
G. Edward Griffin: pushing this great reset. How many are there? Numerically, I
G. Edward Griffin: think they've got to be about 1/100 of 1%. But
G. Edward Griffin: they've been at it for a long time and they're
G. Edward Griffin: in positions of great influence. I mean, they bought up
G. Edward Griffin: newspapers and television stations and that kind of thing. They
G. Edward Griffin: bought up politicians. They bought up the universities through donations.
G. Edward Griffin: They dominate the boards of directors. So that little tiny
G. Edward Griffin: percentage has a tremendous amount of leverage because of the
G. Edward Griffin: influence and the positions that they're in. But nevertheless, on
G. Edward Griffin: our side, we don't have all those positions of power,
G. Edward Griffin: but we do have manpower and we do have we
G. Edward Griffin: do have the ability to talk to each other still.
G. Edward Griffin: And that's why they're trying to clamp down even on
G. Edward Griffin: freedom of speech. But so far, we still can speak
G. Edward Griffin: our mind. And and this is very, very powerful. I
G. Edward Griffin: think that if we had 3% of the population who
G. Edward Griffin: really understood issues like we're talking about, not just who
G. Edward Griffin: are you going to vote for, by the way. Oh,
G. Edward Griffin: who's running for office? Which 1 a.m. I going to
G. Edward Griffin: do by the time you ask who's running for office?
G. Edward Griffin: So you can pick a good candidate. It's over, because
G. Edward Griffin: probably they're all been financed by the same group anyway.
G. Edward Griffin: So people don't realize that they're still politically naive. They
G. Edward Griffin: think that that's all they've got to do. Just pick
G. Edward Griffin: a good candidate and everything will come to to their satisfaction.
G. Edward Griffin: So anyway, I think that once we had 3% who
G. Edward Griffin: would influence the 15% of the population in America, and frankly,
G. Edward Griffin: I think we are there already. Except nobody knows it.
G. Edward Griffin: Everybody is still walking around the streets thinking they're all alone,
G. Edward Griffin: which is why I'm doing my best to try and
G. Edward Griffin: get them together in projects like the Red Pill Project
G. Edward Griffin: and Freedom Force and things like that. Once people come
G. Edward Griffin: together and realized, Oh my gosh, we already do represent
G. Edward Griffin: 15 or more percent of the population, we've got power.
G. Edward Griffin: It will just get up off of our couches and
G. Edward Griffin: go run for politics. Get that, go make sure we
G. Edward Griffin: become personal friends with the sheriff. And if we don't
G. Edward Griffin: like what his principles are, let's go find a new
G. Edward Griffin: sheriff and build a political support campaign for him. Let's
G. Edward Griffin: make sure that you don't start from the ground up
G. Edward Griffin: and actually do something and say, what are we going
G. Edward Griffin: to do? I heard a phrase the other day, which
G. Edward Griffin: I'm going to adopt now as my own from here
G. Edward Griffin: on out. And this is it. We are the people
G. Edward Griffin: we've been waiting for to come and save us.
Travis Wright: Hmm.
Joel Comm: We the people. Very eloquent and in a beautiful place
Joel Comm: for us to. To conclude. G. Edward Griffin, the book,
Joel Comm: The Creature from Jekyll Island is a classic. You're 91
Joel Comm: years old, and you're. You're fire and enthusiasm for these
Joel Comm: principles remains. And may you live well beyond 100, sir,
Joel Comm: and continue bringing that fire.
G. Edward Griffin: All right. Well, thank you. I'm planning on it.
Travis Wright: You're a legend, brother. You are a legend. We admire
Travis Wright: you so much. And we respect all that you've put
Travis Wright: out there to help wake up people along the way
Travis Wright: with your red pill university and all the other things
Travis Wright: that you're doing. So thank you from the bottom of
Travis Wright: our heart. And I know 15 or more percent out
Travis Wright: there is thanking you as well, because they might not
Travis Wright: even realize the impact that you had, but they know
Travis Wright: that their life is the way it is because of
Travis Wright: your work. So thank you so much.
Joel Comm: Sir. Lord Travis. I hope the dude lives to be
Joel Comm: 109 because his content is solid, his insights are spot
Joel Comm: on and he is a true conspiracy realist.
Travis Wright: You know, this guy's been talking. About this stuff since
Travis Wright: way before anybody else was talking about it in my mind.
Travis Wright: Like the amount of research that he had to do
Travis Wright: before the Internet existed to try to uncover some of
Travis Wright: this stuff had to be just unbelievably difficult. If you
Travis Wright: haven't read The Creature from Jekyll Island, you need to
Travis Wright: go through and at least get the audio book due
Travis Wright: to the, you know, the Cliff Notes version or something.
Travis Wright: If you don't have it, if you haven't done that
Travis Wright: and you don't understand what he's talking about, you've got
Travis Wright: to get that base of information behind you because that
Travis Wright: helps unlock a whole lot of other stuff. Like if
Travis Wright: you think that the government, everybody's out for your best interest,
Travis Wright: they're typically for their own personal best interest. And it
Travis Wright: seems to me that a lot of times the people
Travis Wright: who should be in charge, they're the ones who don't
Travis Wright: want to rule anyone. So they're not in charge. They're
Travis Wright: just hanging out at home. The ones who are a
Travis Wright: little maniacal, a little bit of narcissistic and got a
Travis Wright: little bit of that psychopathic, they're the ones that tend
Travis Wright: to want to run and control everybody else. Good people
Travis Wright: tend to not run, it seems. And we cover a
Travis Wright: lot of stuff in the show.
Joel Comm: We did. And, you know, one of the things that's
Joel Comm: happened here just recently is Elan has put an end
Joel Comm: to Twitter's COVID misinformation policy that resulted in thousands of
Joel Comm: users being banned. And turns out the narrative of what
Joel Comm: they had shared all along was not actually accurate. And
Joel Comm: now it's out there and people get to go down
Joel Comm: the rabbit holes and they should. You should go down
Joel Comm: the rabbit holes. I found a great tweet out there
Joel Comm: from a guy that I follow, Kyle Becker, and he said,
Joel Comm: here is the experts misinformation. Look at all of the
Joel Comm: things that they got wrong. 15 days to slow the spread. Masks, work,
Joel Comm: lockdowns work. Natural immunity is a myth. Many shots are vaccines.
Joel Comm: COVID shots, stop transmission, and it's 100% safe and effective.
Joel Comm: All of those from the experts who were banning people
Joel Comm: for contrary information, including reputable doctors and every single one
Joel Comm: of them verified, untrue every one of them.
Travis Wright: Yeah, I was I was at the grocery store earlier today.
Travis Wright: I saw something I hadn't seen in a long time.
Travis Wright: I saw more people wearing masks in Puerto Rico than
Travis Wright: I've seen in a while. Something must be brewing. There
Travis Wright: must be some propaganda going on. I even saw Dude,
Travis Wright: I've never seen this before. I do too have a lanyard.
Travis Wright: And he was wearing his COVID vaccine card with all
Travis Wright: of his boosters on this old dude. I was having
Travis Wright: a hard time walking. I'm like, Dude, keep getting those boosters, bro.
Travis Wright: We don't have to worry about next Christmas.
Joel Comm: Yikes.
Travis Wright: So I was waiting on my dude, what are you doing?
Joel Comm: Think for yourself, people. You can call us whatever you
Joel Comm: want to, but if you are not questioning everything that
Joel Comm: is being told to you by your government and by
Joel Comm: your media, then you are trapped in the matrix. Just
Joel Comm: it's okay to everybody's been there. And I'm sure there's
Joel Comm: some things that I believe that I've been told that
Joel Comm: are incorrect, which is why I encourage we encourage everybody,
Joel Comm: question everything. Why why is that headline written like, dude.
Travis Wright: Is it benefit? Who is it benefiting by? Why is
Travis Wright: it benefitting you or is it benefiting someone else? Like
Travis Wright: typically it's benefiting someone else and then you start diving
Travis Wright: in and go follow the money. They always say follow
Travis Wright: the money. You do that, you'll see a lot of
Travis Wright: times it's not you're not the one getting the benefit.
Travis Wright: Somebody else is getting the benefit. And then for me,
Travis Wright: the biggest red flag about the whole COVID thing for me, Joel,
Travis Wright: was I mean, I've seen Bill Gates is TEDx talk
Travis Wright: where he talked about, oh, the world's population is exploding,
Travis Wright: You know, with vaccines, maybe we can lower that by
Travis Wright: 10 to 15%. I was like, wait a second. Bill
Travis Wright: Gates is saying that if these vaccines can lower population
Travis Wright: by ten, 15% like that, why would I dare to
Travis Wright: believe that he would recommend.
Joel Comm: Okay. So my instinct there is to believe that he
Joel Comm: misspoke because if he didn't know, it's it's.
Travis Wright: No, it's not.
Joel Comm: I said I saw it. I saw it.
Travis Wright: Was in eugenics. His whole family is eugenics. And so
Travis Wright: go ahead.
Joel Comm: Understand? It could have been a Freudian slip. All I'm
Joel Comm: saying is to put that out there deliberately was either
Joel Comm: a mistake or he is just saying, look at me,
Joel Comm: I am Satan incarnate, okay? It's got to be one
Joel Comm: of those two things. Well, the.
Travis Wright: Same people, the same people who were promoting and promoting
Travis Wright: the vaccines were the same ones five, ten years ago,
Travis Wright: talking about how overpopulation is going to destroy the world.
Travis Wright: So to me, that was the red flag. I don't
Travis Wright: care what he said or if it was a slip
Travis Wright: of the tongue or whatever. I just know the people
Travis Wright: who are promoting this the most are the ones who
Travis Wright: were talking about overpopulation not long ago. And so now
Travis Wright: they're talking about, Hey, take this to save. You need
Travis Wright: to save grandma. I'm going to save each other. And
Travis Wright: in my mind, from the research that I've done, this is.
Travis Wright: Sort of a covert genocide that most people don't realize yet.
Travis Wright: And I'm quoting.
Joel Comm: It's bad if you have the stomach for it. Go
Joel Comm: watch died suddenly. The film that we talked about in
Joel Comm: the interview with G. Edward Griffin. And think for yourself.
Joel Comm: I mean, I looked at it skeptically. Some of the video,
Joel Comm: I'm thinking, is that really due to that, some of
Joel Comm: the people I'm listening to, I'm questioning their motives. But,
Joel Comm: you know, the point is, is to absorb information and
Joel Comm: then process it for yourself to determine what's real. What
Joel Comm: does this have to do with crypto? Crypto, Bitcoin? It's
Joel Comm: all about liberty. It's all about freedom. It's all about
Joel Comm: you being sovereign. Okay? And so that is so deeply
Joel Comm: tied in to politics. Stop and think about it. Bitcoin
Joel Comm: was born out of politics and the world financial system
Joel Comm: from 2008 when the economy collapsed and all the Wall
Joel Comm: Street bankers got off scot free after taking your money,
Joel Comm: which is what Sam Bankman-fried has just done. And now
Joel Comm: the media is propping him up and going, Oh, poor,
Joel Comm: poor Sam. He really he was going to try to
Joel Comm: save the world.
Travis Wright: Ask yourself why? Who was it benefiting? It was benefiting
Travis Wright: the other party. It was benefiting the rhinos on the
Travis Wright: right and the leftist on the left. Right. So, you know,
Travis Wright: if you think, oh, it's Democrats versus Republican, it's really
Travis Wright: it's not. It's them. But 70% of them are corrupt,
Travis Wright: as far as I can tell. Well, there's a percentage
Travis Wright: of them who are trying to wrestle that away. But
Travis Wright: I don't know if you're ever going to get a
Travis Wright: Russell that way when you're using these electronic voting systems
Travis Wright: that you become a conspiracy theorist by even questioning, although
Travis Wright: all the people in 2016, if you question Trump winning
Travis Wright: or you're good because like, oh yeah, I was probably
Travis Wright: grew up with the Russians but now you correct I
Travis Wright: guess it depends on who wins. You can see that
Travis Wright: this is just a bunch of bullshit.
G. Edward Griffin: You know.
Joel Comm: It is. And so you want.
Travis Wright: To show unity. You want to show that?
Joel Comm: I do. I do. As soon as you. As soon
Joel Comm: as you're quiet, I'll show. Are you done? Take a seat.
Travis Wright: I'm not really done. All right. Okay.

Joel Comm: Travis created it with his words and his fine tuning,
Joel Comm: and I made the art.
Travis Wright: It's because I spent a long time on this because
Travis Wright: I was, like, trying to find the right one to
Travis Wright: base it off of. And a lot of them, they just.
Travis Wright: I wasn't getting what I wanted at all. I wanted
Travis Wright: a big stack of money and I wanted a creature
Travis Wright: that's kind of leave in the money. And you can
Travis Wright: see that the sort of Godzilla is leaving the building.
Travis Wright: It's been created.
Joel Comm: Godzilla has left the building. It's a beautiful piece and
Joel Comm: it's yours for free. If you're a member of the
Joel Comm: Bad crypto nifty club, super easy to become a member

Travis Wright: don't want. That's just life. But always do your own
Travis Wright: research in your. They always need to stay back.
Joel Comm: That is.
