That's why we're hoping you and your colleagues 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: might reconsider opposing the reduction of EV upfront prices with 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: tax credits.

Since Joey, your President, nearly 18 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: a full year now, said he would never have been 19 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: in Americans in Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. You know, 20 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: there's a I won't go into all of it. It It 21 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: would just take too long. There was a very, a 22 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: very big piece in the New York Post this weekend 23 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: about what life is like um for women in Afghanistan. 24 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: It was written by Holly McKay and anyway tells the 25 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: story of a journal you know, divides her life into 26 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: two parts, before and after America's pull out from Afghanistan. 27 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Her voice cracks as she confesses that many people in 28 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: our country have expressed suicidal thoughts, a concept deeply frowned 29 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: upon in Islamic societies. Before the US left, life was good. 30 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: We've participated in the government, We worked in every field. 31 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Now it's very hard to work outside, meaning women without harassment. 32 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: And she no longer working as a journalist, but as 33 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: a mental health counselor. Women can attend universities unless they 34 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: wear a full burker a burk up rather and I'm 35 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: in full you have to literally cover your entire face. 36 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: Young girls no longer able to go back to school. 37 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: All the things that we've told you. Educational cuts. They 38 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: banned girls from going to school beyond sixth grade. They're 39 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: not allowed to go, oh, this isn't what Joe promised, 40 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: is it? Later in the program, We've talked about this, 41 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: not in enough detail, l but it's really coming to 42 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: a head. You know, we've been watching the aggressiveness of 43 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese and I've been making the point in 44 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: my view, when you look at countries like Russia and 45 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine and China, you've got the Biden family syndicate compromised 46 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: to the highest level. There's no doubt in my mind. 47 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: We did learn that Libya had a dossier on Zero 48 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: Experience Hunter. They knew all about his drug use, all 49 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: about hiring hookers and this proclivity for women of the 50 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: night saying it nicely. They had the full dossier on him. 51 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: And you know, there's got to be a reason why 52 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: you shut down the Keystone XEL pipeline, which would have 53 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: been finished by now, and we would have been able 54 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: to import nine hundred thousand barrels of Canadian oil a 55 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: day instead of begging Russia, Iran, the Saudist Venezuela opec. 56 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: You know, we should be producing it all domestically. We'd 57 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: be paying two dollars a gallon like we used to 58 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: under Donald Trump. But you know, no new Green deal, 59 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: radical socialist Democrats going to allow that. That's not even 60 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: up for discussion. So and then we got the issue 61 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: why would Joe Biden, why would he be given these concessions? 62 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: Now he wants to lift the tariffs that Donald Trump 63 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: put on China for good reason for unfair trade practices. 64 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: The President said, no, if we're gonna have a trade, 65 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: it's going to be free and fair. And if we're 66 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: going to import all this stuff from your country, well 67 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: you're going to start importing materials from our country, and 68 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: if not, we're putting tariffs on you. So the President 69 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: put on five hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on 70 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese. That was just the beginning. But now 71 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Joe was even sending the strategic petroleum reserves that we have, 72 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: even though we're paying record high prices for gasoline and energy. 73 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: He said, why would you send five million barrels of 74 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: oil to the same company that did business with zero experience? Hunter? 75 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: But there's something even bigger. We know all the fent 76 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: and all brought in by the cartels through our southern 77 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: border is all made in China. We are now finding out. 78 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: And now people have become a little hip to this. 79 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: We've discussed them. We're going to discuss it in more detail, 80 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: very specifically with Sarah Carter, who's been investigating this. You know, 81 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's scheduled to go to Taiwan, and now the 82 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: Communist Chinese are trying to prevent it from happening. They 83 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: tried to do the same thing when Mike Pompeo went 84 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: there a few months earlier. Mike Pompeo told him to 85 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: pound sand and he went there. Now the administration is 86 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: advising Pelosi, maybe it's not a good time to go. 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Why not? Why is it that there are no consequences 88 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: for China flying their fighter jets over Taiwan airspace pretty 89 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: much whenever they feel like it, or threatening the US, 90 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, in the Pacific, in the region, and threatening Japan. 91 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: You know, the hostilities are getting stronger and stronger. But 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: something worse is happening. The Communist Chinese have been buying 93 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland, ranches 94 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: cattle ranches in this country, and in many cases the 95 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: acreage is near our most sensitive military installations. And by 96 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: the way, they willing to pay a premium. You know, 97 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard if somebody goes to a rancher 98 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: or a farmer and says, you know what I want 99 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: your farm, I'll pay you twice the value for it. 100 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: And the farmer is going to go and I want 101 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: to have to work my ass off and worry about 102 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: whether or not I can afford fertilizer and seed this year. 103 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: I'll take the deal. They're not thinking about it, but 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: it's happening all over the country, and it's happening near 105 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: bases in North Dakota and Montana and Oklahoma, and near 106 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: the USA Mexico Lachland Air Force Base. I mean one 107 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six thousand acres here, one hundred thirty 108 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: five thousand acres there. Ron de Santa spoke out about it. 109 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: They should not be able to buy. We can't buy 110 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: land in China. We'll get to that the media. Let 111 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: me just tell you something. I've just done this. I've 112 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: been in this business far too long, and I can 113 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: tell when a movement is beginning. Let me be the 114 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: first to explain this to you, and watch it unfold 115 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: in the next year and a half, even faster, in 116 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: the next six months. You're going to see this, so 117 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, and I'll explain in detail where the money's 118 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: coming from, the Getties and some other billionaires in San Francisco. 119 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: So he's got all this money that he's taking out 120 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: ads on Fox News local ads, Fox My channel, taking 121 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: out ads to attack Ronda Santis. Come to the free 122 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: state of California. Imagine that. By the way, income tax 123 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: in California's twelve point three percent. In Florida it's zero 124 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: point zero percent. It's insane. Florida has a third of 125 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: the budget of California because they're not a sanctuary state 126 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: that gives everything else away for free. And come to 127 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: the free state. Now he's doing it in Texas, going 128 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: after Gavin Newsom, taking out a series of ads and 129 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: like the Houston Chronicle, Austin American Statesman in El Paso Times. 130 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: I'll give you the specifics of Gavin in a second. 131 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Gavin is a he's that, he's that, he's you know what, 132 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: He's a central casting politician, just a sleazy phony and 133 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: just a phony hypocrite. His kids go to private school. 134 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: Every other kid in California is remote learning. He goes 135 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: out to expensive restaurants, the most expensive restaurant, one of 136 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: the most expensive restaurants in California, while everybody else in 137 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,479 Speaker 1: California is not allowed to go to bars and restaurants. 138 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: It's just a phony and anyway, So it's clear to 139 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: me that the Democrats between the Washington Post, this Weekend, 140 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: New York Times, three separate occasions. Now even the late 141 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: night comedians are turning on Biden. They're beginning to just 142 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: state the obvious that we've been stating for two and 143 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: a half years, that he's a week for rail and 144 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: a cognitive mess. But watch them now begin the push 145 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: for Gavin. Gavin Gavin. In other words, I'm projecting into 146 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: the future what you're going to see happen, Annity, how 147 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: do you know? Do you have a crystal ball? In 148 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: a way, just my gut instinct. In other words, they 149 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: don't think Kamala is strong enough. She's not up to 150 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: the task. You know Mayor, you know Pothole, Pete poota judge, 151 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: you know him, the lecturing people on getting electric cars 152 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: and paying more. The higher the price, the greater benefit. 153 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, thanks a lot, Mayor peat there's a 154 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: slogan for a campaign, so just watch what's happened, and 155 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big push. Basically, that's going to 156 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: be the election. And in my mind, they want either 157 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: Newsom against Trump or Newsom against the Santis. That's the 158 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: showdown they want, because that's the showdown. They think that's 159 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna be the most interesting to them, and they think 160 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: Gavin might be able to be just a strong enough 161 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: alternative to Joe. He will Now, he won't govern any 162 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: differently than Joe Biden. He's a radical green New Deal socialist. 163 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: He is a climate alarmist cultist, So the policies will 164 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: be the same, if not worse. Will become the United 165 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: Sanctuary States of America, considering his state as a sanctuary state. 166 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: Let's watch. Let me just give you a preview of 167 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,119 Speaker 1: what's coming up this week. We will get tomorrow consumer 168 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: confidence numbers currently in the tank. We expect there'll be 169 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: in the tank still. Tomorrow. We have a Federal Reserve 170 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: meeting in a decision on interest rates, coming or expecting 171 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: another three quarter of a basis point interest rate hike, 172 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: maybe a full basis point interest rate hike, in other words, 173 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: a full percentage point, which is going to do again. 174 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: Another prediction, it's already started. I said this, what two 175 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: months ago, Linda, what did I say, Wait till it 176 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: hits the house market. Once interest rates hit a certain 177 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: tipping point, new home construction stops, sale of pre existing 178 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: homes will end. Home values will plummet, just like in 179 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: the stock market. If you've put a lot of money 180 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: in the stock market, you've seen what's happened over the 181 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: last number of months. You know, I lowered my exposure 182 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 1: over a year ago to the stock market. Everybody i'd meet, Linda, 183 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: how many times did I tell you lower your exposure? 184 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's been endless. N't you been warning us 185 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: every day? And I've been telling and I don't give 186 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: financial advice, I've been saying, Okay, lock in your interest rate. 187 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Get it now American Financing dot net. By the way, 188 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: the interest rate, if you got one today, is gonna 189 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: look stellar a year, year and a half from now, 190 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: you'll be glad you're locked in at this rate because 191 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna keep going higher. And I've been saying, once 192 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: new home construction stops, then sale of pre existing homes 193 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: will stop. And why are they going to stop? Think 194 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: about it? If you have a thirty year fixed mortgage 195 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: at two point five percent, two point eight percent, three percent, 196 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: three and a quarter, three and a half, three and 197 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: three quarters, you're you're not getting anywhere near that rate. 198 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: Once you get up to six seven eight percent, you know, 199 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: thirty year rates for a mortgage. Nobody's going to want 200 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: to sell their home that they're currently in. Maybe they 201 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: see another home that they normally would have purchased, but 202 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be thousands more a month because of all 203 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: the extra interests you're gonna have to pay. So that's 204 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna dry up the housing market. Home values temporarily, 205 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: they will plummet, and it'll scare many of you, just 206 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: like the stock market crashing has been scaring many of you, 207 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: just like the crypto market crashing is scared many of you. 208 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: One thing that surprised me about crypto that I didn't see. 209 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: I always thought crypto would be a little separate and 210 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: apart from and by the way, I've never endorsed people, 211 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: you know, tell people what to do. I'm only dabbled 212 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: in it into a small degree. But I never thought 213 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: it'd be tied so close to the market. That surprised me. 214 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: But that's just neither here nor there, and then you're 215 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: going to see the unemployment rate rise. The Atlanta We'll 216 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: just go back to the rest of the week. So 217 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: we're getting consumer confidence tomorrow. FED meeting decision on interest 218 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: rates this week, coupled with a press conference by the 219 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: Fed share that will follow on Wednesday. And then the 220 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: real number that we got to pay the most attention 221 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: to is going to be the GDP number for the 222 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: second quarter will drop on Thursday. And right now the 223 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: Atlanta Fed, which has a very good record of accuracy, 224 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: they're predicting minus one point six percent. Now, the definition 225 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. 226 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Last month or last quarter, rather the first quarter of 227 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: this year was one point six percent minus one point 228 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: six percent. If this is minus one point six percent, 229 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: then that will be we are officially in a recession. 230 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: So we're going to get the real moment of truth 231 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: on the economy. And the White House has been out 232 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: there trying to in this that even if we have 233 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: two quarters, the very definition of a recession, it's unlikely 234 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: to be indicative of a recession. Just like I guess 235 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: what inflation is. Transitory Treasury Secretary yelling acknowledging an economic 236 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: slowdown but downplaying recession fears because they know what's going 237 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: to happen. Laurence Summers is the only one out there 238 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: being somewhat realistic, and he's been right the whole time. 239 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: Well used to work for Obama. Not as big as fan, 240 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: but saying, yeah, the chance of a recession is more likely. 241 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: He's not seeing this, you know, with rose colored glasses 242 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: on him, not being polyannish about this. He's being realistic. 243 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: It is what it is. And these policies, so much 244 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: of it rooted in Joe's economic and no domestic energy 245 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: production policies. We'll just import it from countries that hate us, 246 00:14:50,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: just stupid. We'll artificially reduce the world supply. I wish 247 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: I could tell you I give you a prediction that, yeah, 248 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe the Atlanta Fed's wrong, maybe their prediction is. I 249 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: tend to doubt it. I don't want to I don't 250 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: want to go off and make a prediction. I'm just 251 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: saying the Atlanta Fed has a pretty good track record. 252 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: They're predicting minus one point six percent. You know, the 253 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,239 Speaker 1: idea that this has always been the definition of a recession, 254 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: and they somehow want to change the definition of a 255 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: recession because they're facing their moment of truth and they're 256 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: scared to death by the way of the backlash of this. 257 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: You know why, because people already know we're in stagflation 258 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: and a recession. They already know it. It's not that 259 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: hard to figure out, Janet Yell, and we'll play some 260 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: of this after the news that the half hour. You know, 261 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: if you know, she's saying economists expect a second quarter 262 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: GDP to be negative. That means it's a recession. Then 263 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: she went into a big technical definition that we're not 264 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: really in a recession, even though that meets the very 265 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: definition of a recession. Then you have the director of 266 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the NC saying, according to the technical definition, we're not 267 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: in a recession. These people are just lying, Oh no, no, 268 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: inflation is going to be transitory until it wasn't transitory. 269 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I think we've had our peak. And 270 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: that Biden said that in December. Not so not the case, 271 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, then, Brian d slowing of the economy is 272 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: not only expected, but it's necessary. Here we go for 273 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: the transition, the transition to what renewables, what renewables well 274 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: wind and solar, where how are you going to power 275 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: the entire country on wind and solar in the next 276 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: twenty years? And why are you going to make us 277 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: suffer and beg countries that hate us for the lifeblood 278 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: of the economy that exists now because you're wind and solar, 279 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: you're your precious love of renewables. The technology is nonexistent 280 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: at the level we need holding them accountable. Sean gets 281 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: the answers no one else does. America deserves and know 282 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: the truth about Congress all right. Twenty five to the 283 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: top of the hours, Politico actually called the coming avalanche 284 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: of bada economic news a category five storm. So consumer 285 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: confidence numbers, which have been horrific will remain horrific. They'll 286 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: hit tomorrow, the Fed will meet and make their decision 287 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: on interest rates, and there'll be a press conference by 288 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: the Fed chaired your own Powell, and we get the 289 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: first reading on second quarter GDP economic growth. The Atlanta 290 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: Fed is predicting a negative one point six percent growth rate, 291 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: which would mean which would match the first quarter. And 292 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: the historic definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters 293 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: of economic decline, negative decline, negative growth. Well, that's what 294 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: we're now facing now. Here's the most bizarre thing. By 295 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: the way, Ford is preparing to lay off eight thousand 296 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: workers because they want to focus on electric cars. Is 297 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: anybody ever going to ask the question, when you charge 298 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: that electric car, what are you charging it with? What 299 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: is that electric How much of the electric grid is 300 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: based on so called renewables twelve percent, So it's basically 301 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: coming from oil, gas and coal. That's where that's how 302 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: you're charging your electric vehicle. Never mind the nickel, the cobalt, 303 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: the manganese and all the other minerals mined from the 304 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: mother Earth by using big heavy equipment that uses diesel 305 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: fuel and destroying the planet in the process. So anyway, 306 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: all of this is coming out. Here's where it gets 307 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: interesting because the White House Council of Economic Advisors, and 308 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: they started saying this four days ago that even if 309 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: they're saying that these numbers come out Friday, my calendar 310 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: I have it on Thursday. I'm not sure. Maybe there 311 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: might be a discrepancy anyway that the GDP if even 312 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: if it's still negative, it's still unlikely to be indicative 313 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 1: that the country is in a recession. Recessions refer to 314 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. That is the 315 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: definition of a recession. That's it. What's a recession, that's 316 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: the definition of a recession. Some maintain two consecutive quarters 317 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: of falling real GDP is a recession. That is neither 318 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: the official definition nor the way economists evaluate state of 319 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: the business cycle. They're just lying to us. Now. Janet 320 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: Yellen was on Meet the Press this weekend. Economists expect 321 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: a second quarter GDP to be negative, just like the 322 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: last quarter, the first quarter January, February, March, April, May, June. Anyway, 323 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: here's what she said. GDP will be closely watched. A 324 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: common definition of recession is two negative quarters of GDP growth, 325 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: or at least that's something that's been true in past recessions. 326 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: When we've seen that, there has usually been a recession. 327 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: And many economists expect second quarter GDP to be negative. 328 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: First quarter GDP was negative, so we could see that happen, 329 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: and that will be closely watched, closely watched. But then 330 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: she said, according to the technical definition, went out in 331 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: a recession. I mean, she'd making no sense any of this. 332 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: Guy Brian Deese, director of the NAC saying, according to 333 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: the technical definition, we're not in a recession. No, this 334 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: would be a recession. Here's what he said. It sounds 335 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: like you're anticipating what will be comments from some saying 336 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: two quarters of negative growth in a row, that's a recession, right, 337 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: And certainly in terms of the technical definition, it's not 338 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: a recession. The technical definition considers a much broader spectrum 339 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: of data points. They're lying, just like they said inflation 340 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: was transitory. Jared Bernstein is the White House Economic advisor 341 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: talking about the technical Why are we getting into the 342 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: technical definitive a recession when everybody knows what the definition is. 343 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen just gave the definition, but said, even though 344 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: it's going to happen, it's not going to be called 345 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: a recession. Here's Jared Bernstein, you know, spinning the same nonsense. Listen, 346 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: And technically, a way to define a recession is to 347 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: consecutive quarters of declining GDP numbers. If that happens next week, 348 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: if those numbers come out and reflect that, will the 349 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: White House view this country's being in a recession? And 350 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: if not, what then would the White House? What would 351 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: the definition be for the White House of a recession? 352 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: So these are great questions. What will the definition be well. 353 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: In fact, that question is answered, but it's very obscure. 354 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: So the National Bureau of Economic Research has a group 355 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: called the Business Cycle Dating Committee. I know that's a mouthful. 356 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry on a Saturday night to be taking people 357 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: through that, but they're the group that decide whether we're 358 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: in a recession or not, and they do so in 359 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: hindsight because the data come in with a bit of 360 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: a lag. This is this is an Orwellian nightmare. But 361 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: by the way, these are the same idiots that said 362 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: that inflation was transitory. These are the same people that 363 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: are out there talking about the economy being in transition, 364 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: meaning we're never going to go back to domestic energy production. 365 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: We'd rather beg Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and OPEC 366 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: for the lifeblood of our economy while we're in the 367 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: middle of a transition. Peep Buddha, judge more pain. There 368 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: is more benefit that this mindset that it's better to 369 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: import energy lifeblood of our economy than produce it domestically, 370 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: when we all know that it's a bad idea to 371 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: rely on countries that hate us for the lifeblood of 372 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: our economy. We know that we could have a lot 373 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: of high paying jobs here in America if we produced 374 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: it domestically. We also know it's pretty obvious too that 375 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: if you want to lower the inflation problem we have 376 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: in the country, one way to do it is to 377 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: get gasoline back to two bucks a gallon, which is 378 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: what around what they inherited it at two thirty or 379 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: whatever it was. I mean, just simple stuff. The only 380 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: one that told the truth the whole time, and I'm 381 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: giving him a lot of credit. I never really liked him, 382 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: but he's not a dumb guy. Laurence Summers, who was 383 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: the White House Economic I think later became Treasury Secretary 384 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: under Obama, isn't what he's saying. I think there's a 385 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: very high likelihood of recession when we've been in this 386 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: kind of situation before. Recession has essentially always followed when 387 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: inflation has been high and unemployment has been low. Soft 388 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: landings represent a kind of triumph of hope over experience. 389 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: I think we're very unlikely to see one. And he 390 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: also predicted that the less unemployment gets to like six 391 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: seven percent, the likelihood of getting out of a recession 392 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: anytime fast is it's just not very likely. So we're 393 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: going to have a recession, be in a recession, and 394 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: they're going to try to and they'll have help from 395 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: the media mob, and they're going to try to convince 396 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: you that it's not a recession. So you know, the 397 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: FED now is probably about to inflict more pain. This 398 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: is where my prediction is going to come right, become 399 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: dead on accurate. Because if they go up another three 400 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: quarter basis point on interest rates, and if or maybe 401 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: a full basis point in other words, one full percentage point, 402 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: in other words, new home construction, I promise you will 403 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: come to a screeching halt. The sale of pre existing 404 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: homes will come to a screeching halt. Now, there's going 405 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: to be some states the fare better, and I can 406 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: already tell you which states they are, those states where 407 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: people are migrating to Florida, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, 408 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. Find those states then, maybe not perfectly fine, 409 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: but they'll do better than other states. Georgia as well. 410 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: You can add those. Then all these big cities, big states, 411 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: dark blue, they're gonna do the worst. So now the 412 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: FED is going to inflict more pain if they go 413 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: up a full basis point or three quarters of a 414 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: basis point. None of this is good. The recession is 415 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: here and it's gonna last a while. Housing market, by 416 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: the way, this is from the AP How long have 417 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: I been saying this, Linda, I've been saying this now 418 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: for a long time. Really inflation recession, housing crash is 419 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: about to come. Because after the sale of pre existing 420 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: home stops, what's going to happen to home values. Nobody's 421 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: gonna want to give up a two point five two 422 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: point eight three percent, three point five percent, three point 423 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: seven five percent mortgage. That mortgage we may never see 424 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: that again in our lifetime. Who knows the way these 425 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: idiots are running things anyway, ap as an article Housing 426 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: market chills as mortgage rates prices scare buyers because you 427 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: can't afford the high interest rates. That's going to drive 428 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: prices down. Well. The problem is people's biggest investment is 429 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: usually their home. All right now, all that money they 430 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: thought they were going to make on the sale of 431 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: their home the last couple of years, and they see 432 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: their neighbors that sold checked out, sold out, and they 433 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: put their home on the market, they'd have fifteen bids 434 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: over asking you know for in one day that those 435 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: days are gone. Now recession is here, is going to 436 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: last for a while. According to Art Laugher, he said, 437 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: this was a smart guy who's on with Maria bart 438 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: to Romo. Can I just say how you can forecast 439 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: fifty percent chance of recession when it's already happened, Maria, 440 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: The first quarter was negative, the second quarter is probably 441 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: going to be negative. If you believe the Atlanta FED. 442 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: The recession is already here. It's already happened. Fifty percent 443 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: is just a silly number. We're in a recession. The 444 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: question is how bad is it gonna be? Which is 445 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: actually the right question to ask. All right, Anthony is 446 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: checking in from Pennsylvania, wants to weigh in on this. Anthony, 447 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: what's going on? Hey, Chan, how are you today? I'm good, sir, 448 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: what's going on? Good? Thank you for all you do, 449 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the call. Of two quick points. One 450 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: of them is on that mister Summers, when I'm going 451 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: to save that for a second. The first one is 452 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: on that bitcoin you talked about the performance of the correlations. 453 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Just want to say people forget that in down markets 454 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: everything goes down and the things that were the biggest 455 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: winners on the way up, will be the biggest losers 456 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: on the way down. And that's all we're seeing. So yeah, bitcoin, 457 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: you know, just from December thirty first, Bitcoin down fifty percent, 458 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: back down twenty four percent, SMP down around twenty percent. 459 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: So you could look at that risk in that performance 460 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: on the way up, and then they just layer the 461 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: same way on the way down. So they're not really correlated. 462 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: It's just that in a downmarket, everything's going down, and 463 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: what the riskiest assets wove down the most. And so 464 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: are you bullish on bitcoin? Am I interpreting that right? 465 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: Not at all, Not at all. Never anything I can't 466 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: define or understand I'm not bullish on. But that's that's 467 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: that's my stance on it. I also could have wanted 468 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: a dollar, I guess, and sold it at sixty thousand, 469 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: so I guess on my maybe not no, But you 470 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: know something I thought it would be. I did not 471 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: think it would be as tied to the economy and 472 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: the market as other investments. Now, I did say when 473 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: I when I dabbled in it, I dabbled in it 474 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: a little. I used it like it was money I 475 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 1: would spend in vague. In other words, I was not 476 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: petting the milk money, or my retirement money, or any 477 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: money that I cared that much about when I went 478 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: into crypto. I just don't know enough about. I still 479 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: don't know what the algorithm. Nobody can fully explain to 480 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: me in a way that I can comprehend the algorithm 481 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: behind bitcoin. I don't get it because there's a finite 482 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: amount of it, but it's going to keep producing and 483 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: it's going to grow and grow and grow exponentially, but 484 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: it's still a finite amount. And how do you have 485 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: a finite amount that has a specific end but you 486 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: don't get to the end ever, That doesn't make sense 487 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: to me. Well, I think the tide of the economy 488 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 1: is really easy. If you have money in bitcoin, it 489 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: can't be in Microsoft, and it can't be in general dynamics, 490 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: and it can't be in the real estate market. And 491 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: if you have money in the real estate market then Apple, 492 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: it can't be in bitcoin. So it's not necessarily tied 493 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: to the economy. It's that there is capital to invest in. 494 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: If it's in one asset, it can't be in the other. 495 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: So what you see in the movement is the movement 496 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: of assets from or of cash from one asset to 497 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: the other. It's not that it has anything to do 498 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: with the economy. It's just that the assets are flowing 499 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: back and forth between bitcoin and an alternative. I would 500 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: let me let me just say this as somebody that 501 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: does not and I'm not giving economic advice, like I 502 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: don't give medical advice on COVID. I just tell people 503 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: what I hear and then tell them ask their doctor. 504 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Whatever I say here, ask your financial guide. But what 505 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: I see overall with the economy is its way too 506 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: much uncertainty. And right now you can get a treasury 507 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 1: six month a year, you know, you can park your 508 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: money and get three percent. Not a lot of money, 509 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: but at least you're getting something that you haven't gotten 510 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: for years. And I would just wait this out. If 511 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: if you're one of these people that thinks you're going 512 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: to time the market, be a crypto or be it stocks, 513 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: you're never going to be able to do it. The 514 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: same with the housing market, the same with h like 515 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: for example, most people have no choice. They're not going 516 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: to be able to pull out their I ray therefore 517 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: one case, so you just got to ride it through 518 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, over a period of ten years 519 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: it comes back. That's how you have to look at 520 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: it at a ten year period, at least according to 521 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: the guys I talked to, absolutely, absolutely, and that kind 522 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: of ties into the Summers thing is a real important 523 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: point to me. Larry Summers right now is a trojan horse. 524 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you why. He's been out walking 525 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: center for a little while now, and I took note 526 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: of it myself. And he's been talking to talk about, 527 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, a little critical of the Biden administration, critical 528 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: of the FED, critical of where we're heading as an economy, 529 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: and he's he's kind of been centor now, what he 530 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 1: slipped in last week, which a lot of people are 531 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: not talking about, is he started to talk about m MT, 532 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: which is modern monetary theory. This is something Yellen was 533 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: talking about in the past. It's something that Dens have 534 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: talked about in the past, and basically their theory is 535 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: they can spend in print as much as they want 536 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: as long as they raise taxes that will control inflation. 537 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: And last week he started talking about raising taxes and 538 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: he actually said, and I'm almost quoting, raised access immediately. 539 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: So watch Larry summers because to me, he's a trojan horse. 540 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: He's starting to slip in m mc into his conversation, 541 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: which is extremely dangerous and would destroy this economy. The 542 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: only hedge we have now, and I'm not factoring in 543 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: the midterms in November, is if Republicans take the House 544 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: end or Senate, all of this comes to a screeching hold. 545 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: And in the meantime, Joe Mansion has addressed that very issue, 546 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: and that is more spending, which which he's arguing caused 547 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: a lot of this recession. The one point two trillion 548 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: that Biden spent was a contributed contributing factor in where 549 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: we are economically now. But the biggest problem we have 550 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: is on the energy side, and that is we have 551 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: given up all domestic energy production or any thought of 552 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: being energy independent. That is adding to the high costs. 553 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: We've artificially reduced the world supply and our demand remains constant. 554 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: And now that is now pushed Biden into the arms 555 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: of even the pariah nation Saudi Arabia and the guy 556 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: that he believes and had said, killed Jamal Kashogi. So 557 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: it shows you the level of hypocrisy, the desire to 558 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: get an Iranian deal, you know last year taking in 559 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: six and eighty four million barrels of oil from Russia, 560 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: or sending emissaries to Venezuela's in saying, all right, you 561 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: bring up a good point. I'm going to pay more 562 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: attention to Laurence Summers. I think you're right on the money. 563 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: Good call, Anthony, appreciate it. Paul Krugman, New York Times. 564 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: I was wrong about inflation, geez, I was wrong. It 565 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: turned out it was a very bad call. You mean, 566 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: like the Russia hoax that you guys peddled
