As for the political outcry over his refusal 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: to return a man mistakenly sent to a foreign prison 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: without due process, Trump says he believed it will accrue 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: to his advantage. Quote, I think this is another men 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: in women's sports thing for the Democrats. Another part here 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: that was fascinating has to do with the situation surrounding 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: tariffs and the idea of the administration trying to work 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: out deals within this ninety day framework with basically all 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 2: the countries of the world. The President and his team 21 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: has said they've had one hundred offers to make deals. 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: They say they have eighteen proposals. 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: In front of them roughly, and then you have a 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: great line of question here. 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: Let me read this. 26 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: Not one has been announced yet. When are you going 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: to announce them? The President says, I've made two hundred deals. 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: Then you ask, you've made two hundred deals? And then 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: the President says one hundred percent? And then you ask, 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 2: I think shrewdly, can you share with whom? And then 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: the President says, because the deal is a deal that 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: I choose view it differently. We are a department store 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: and we set at the price. 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: Do you know what's going on here this? 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: With this two hundred dealstead have been made? 36 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: I can't say that I do. 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 5: I think there are negotiations underway. President Trump told me 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 5: in the conversation that he had spoken with and that 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 5: the Chinese were negotiating with the Trump administration. Commerce Secretary 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 5: Howard Lutnik and another senior administration official also confirmed that 41 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 5: to me, the Chinese deny it, But you know, I 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 5: think what I understood him to be saying was that 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 5: he has deals worked out in his mind with all 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 5: of these countries and that they he believes that they 45 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 5: will ultimately, you know, basically acquiesce to the terms that 46 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 5: he's laying out because he believes that the economic power 47 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 5: of the United States and access to our markets is 48 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 5: the leverage in order to get them to come to 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 5: some sort of deal. I don't know if they're solidified yet. 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 5: I don't know if they're already made, but you know, 51 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 5: he says that within the next three to four weeks 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 5: he will be announcing everything. 53 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 6: Any sense of frustration on the part of the president. 54 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 6: He said he was going to end the war in 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 6: Ukraine in the day the Glory didn't do that. He said, 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 6: He's going to fix the economy just like that. Of course, 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 6: the economy hadn't been fixing, and in fact, we may 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 6: be in a recession that he seemed to have brought on. 59 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 6: Was there any frustration that he hasn't been able to 60 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 6: deliver on a lot of the things that he promised. 61 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting because I asked about the Ukraine thing. 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 5: I said, you know, President Trump, you said you would 63 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 5: solve this issue. 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: In to day. 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 5: You know what's going on, And you know, he said, oh, 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 5: I said that in jest. Eric everybody knew that that 67 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 5: was you know, a symbolic you know, I wasn't really 68 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 5: saying it was I was going to get it done 69 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 5: in a day. 70 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 3: This has been going on for three years. 71 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 5: I've only been here in three months, so you know, 72 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 5: I sensed that there was some frustration on his part. 73 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 5: And I also think, you know, he pulled back on 74 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 5: that claim that he'd be able to solve the war 75 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 5: in twenty four hours. And of course he's not wrong 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 5: that it's very complicated. 77 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: He's not wrong. 78 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 5: Now that is a very complicated issue and it's hard 79 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 5: to solve, and he's gotten tractable players, you know, in 80 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 5: a Lotimir Putin. But you know, I do think, you know, 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 5: this is a different moment for him than the last time, 82 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: you know, I spoke with him, because you know, he 83 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 5: is right now facing all of these problems that you're talking. 84 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: Asked if he'd like to be remembered for having expanded 85 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: American territory as president himself, Trump says, I wouldn't mind. Again, 86 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: I think this might be obvious if you listen to 87 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: his territorial you know, aspirations with Greenland, the Panama Panama 88 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: Canal and whatnot. 89 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: But still it's pretty remarkable to hear a. 90 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: President's that he wants to expand territory. 91 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's also you know, noteworthy. 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 5: We're in the Oval Office, and you know he has 93 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: installed many, many more paintings of former presidents and in 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 5: gold frames, and there's one of James Polk, who expanded 95 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 5: territory as well. And I think you know, President Trump 96 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 5: has said he wants to, you know, acquire Greenland, he 97 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 5: wants to annex Canada, he wants to seize control the 98 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 5: Panama Canal. And you know, he basically sees himself as 99 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 5: a president who can grow the American Empire, who can 100 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 5: expand territory. 101 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: And he said he certainly wouldn't. 102 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: Mind if that was part of his legacy. 103 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: This is the ani will scream of a dining regime. 104 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 7: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on 105 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 7: these people. 106 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: You've not got a free shot. 107 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 7: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 7: had a belly full of it. 109 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: I know you don't like hearing that. 110 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 7: I know you tried to do everything in the world 111 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 7: to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. 112 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: It's going to. 113 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: Happen and Where do people like that go to share 114 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: the big line mega media. 115 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 116 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 3: these people had a conscience. 117 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 7: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 118 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 7: If that answer is to save my country, this country 119 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 7: will be saved. 120 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: War Room, use your host, Stephen k. 121 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 7: Bas It's Friday, twenty five April and the year of 122 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 7: Our Lord, twenty five. 123 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: We're still here in Kansas City, a Missouri. 124 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 7: And had a really an amazing time yesterday with the 125 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 7: folks at Hillsdale College, incredible group of public intellectuals, faculty, 126 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 7: other thinkers.

I don't think, including 154 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 7: people at the Pentagon. I might give them their budget 155 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 7: about President Trump's concept of hemispheric defense. This is the 156 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 7: way that gets us away from tree and defense budgets 157 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 7: and being spread out over Hell's half acre, like having 158 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 7: two carrier battlegroups in the Red Sea to keep the 159 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 7: Suez Canal open and to bomb the Hooties back to 160 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 7: the Stone Age where they've been living for a long time, 161 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 7: beating the Egyptian Army, beating the Saudis, essentially beating UAE 162 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 7: that were kind of under contract with the Saudis for years. 163 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 7: Polk had a very different vision of America. President Trump's 164 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 7: got a very different vision for this country. That's where 165 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 7: this hemispheric defense is so big, and you talk about 166 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 7: the convergent crises one and let's go to that again. 167 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 7: Is this stopping the kinetic part of the Third World 168 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 7: War which has already started. President Trump is doing his 169 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 7: best there, his utmost. He's very blunt with this guy 170 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 7: about stopping Ukraine. I think you see the subtext in 171 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 7: there that President Trump is fully aware of the issue 172 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 7: of getting sucked in too much. If you read this 173 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 7: interview and look what President Trump's been saying, he's there 174 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 7: for a time.

But you 181 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 7: can tell President Trump's patience on this is not unlimited. 182 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 7: And you look at the second part, the deportation of 183 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 7: the ten million illegal alien invaders that came in on 184 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 7: Biden's watch, already jammed up at the essentially at the 185 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 7: Supreme Court, as they said the speech last night, the 186 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 7: constitutional crisis part of this, and this is what they're 187 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 7: trying to do to stop the deportation of the ten million. 188 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,359 Speaker 3: The criminals. 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 7: Obviously, the criminal element in President Trump doing his commander 190 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 7: in chief for our national security is self evident that's 191 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 7: the right thing to do. But that's I don't know, 192 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 7: one hundred thousand, maybe one hundred, a couple hundred dozand 193 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: and hey, all of them got to go, all of 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 7: them have to go. But they're doing this to jam 195 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 7: us up, to jam the president up, so we never 196 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 7: get to the ten man. We lose our will, Our 197 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 7: focus is just too tough. 198 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: There's too many, you know, there's too many. 199 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 7: Empathetic videos, sympathetic videos cut by CNN. 200 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: As you try to deport the families. 201 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 7: What you're going to have to do, right if they're 202 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 7: here illegally, they got to go back, or you're never 203 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 7: going to have the rule of law of this country. 204 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 7: You're never going to really secure the border. President Trump 205 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 7: secured right now. But if President Trump was not around. 206 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: What would happen even if you built the wall. 207 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 7: So, because it's all about intent and focus, President Trump 208 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 7: has secured the border. I don't know in sixty days, 209 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 7: sixty five, seventy days with Langford and these guys told 210 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 7: us was going to take decades, and they had to 211 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 7: pass all this new legislation, and he had to have 212 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 7: all this new money spent. So the interview is also 213 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 7: one of the things that's very important. In two parts 214 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 7: of the interview President Trump, they talk about the tax 215 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 7: increases and President Trump k new gingridg and Gervin Norcris 216 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 7: is a lot more amenable to it. In this interview, 217 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 7: he kind of says it's the right thing to do. 218 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 7: His only concern. His only concern says, hey, look we're 219 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 7: going to have to do something, and he's favorable to it. 220 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 7: He says, his concern still falls back to the Bush 221 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 7: thing because it hasn't been properly explained. Bush raised taxes 222 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 7: for everybody. This is a massive tax cut for people, 223 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 7: and you got to figure out to pay for it. 224 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 7: But the buried lead that people really haven't picked up on. 225 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 7: He says it in context of Bush losing the election 226 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 7: and how it would hurt President Trump politically on his 227 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 7: own side politically, I thought he was termed out. 228 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: Not in his mind. 229 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 7: His answer on the taxes relates directly, and this is 230 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 7: easy to overcome, very easy to overcome. But it's in 231 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 7: response to his running again in twenty twenty eight. I 232 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 7: don't think it's a random occurrence, because President Trump doesn't 233 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 7: do things randomly. That you launch the merch yesterday of 234 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 7: Trump twenty twenty eight on his official you know, merchandising 235 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 7: store and teas and ball caps and other things other swag. 236 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 7: At the same time, knew that the time interview would 237 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 7: be out would be out, would be out. 238 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: Today, and then that answer. 239 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 7: Anybody that's been involved in politics at all, it says, Hey, 240 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 7: this guy's thinking through his reelect and seeing if this 241 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 7: would hurt him or help him, just saying Trump twenty eight, 242 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 7: twenty twenty eight is it's happening. It's happening, and you 243 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 7: can tell he's in it. He would never have answered 244 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 7: that question the way he answered about taxes, which makes 245 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 7: me feel good because on the tax side, the math 246 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 7: just doesn't work.

And Lihu was the lead negotiator, and 343 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 7: after two years they literally just walked away from it. 344 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 8: I think that's part of the problem if you go 345 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 8: slow and you're talking about hundreds of pages and then 346 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 8: all of a sudden it's thousands of pages and no 347 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 8: one actually or you know, you question whether they actually 348 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 8: intend to do it. That was actually part of the 349 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 8: NAFTA problem that it started as the idea of benefits 350 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden became the lawyers and 351 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 8: it became huge. So by nineteen ninety two I had 352 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 8: gone to the White House to say, this has to stop. 353 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 8: We're not getting what we want out of this deal. 354 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 8: There are too many lawyers. 355 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 9: It was a Tea. 356 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 8: George Huffy, let's negotiations get really big. And so I 357 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 8: think we have to look at it in a different 358 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 8: way now that the system is broken, and there has 359 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 8: to be a way that people can understand what's being fixed. 360 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 8: You know, I was a Tea partier in twenty ten. 361 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 8: In twenty ten, people across the country knew that there 362 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 8: was a giant problem. Unfortunately, that didn't get the job done. 363 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 8: It wasn't until twenty sixteen, as Trump was coming in 364 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 8: that you could have some light at the end of 365 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 8: the tunnel of what was going to be done. But 366 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 8: even now we're facing people, you know, across the government. 367 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 8: People are trying to have a resistance to the change 368 00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 8: that's needed. 369 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: It's still the global. 370 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 8: Order is dominant. The elites are dominant, and that's what 371 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 8: you're talking about in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, that it 372 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 8: just wasn't working, and China knows what it's doing. It's 373 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 8: delaying and delaying. 374 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 9: Okay, hang on. 375 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 7: You're one of the best experts in the world in 376 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 7: international finance, and certainly in the mega movement in the 377 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 7: Trump circles. 378 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 3: You're in the top handful. 379 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 7: When I gave this talk at the Summer four World 380 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 7: Economic Summit in DC. Now they're trying to make that 381 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 7: like the Davos of DC had all these international financiers 382 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 7: and we talked about Trump's reordering of the commercial aspects 383 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 7: of a getoff mercantilist systems and let's get back to 384 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 7: at least a fair trade system. And I said, when 385 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 7: people talk to me about this, says also it can happen. 386 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 7: I said, give me the plan we have now is 387 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 7: not sustainable. 388 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: Do you agree with that? 389 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 7: I mean the plan we have of spending seven trillion dollars, 390 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 7: of raising taxes of four and a half or five 391 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: of having two trillion dollars a year in deficits. That's 392 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 7: God Besson has to finance that debt's running out of control. 393 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 7: Interest is over almost one point five train dollars. The 394 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 7: raw interest we pay one point four trallin dollars. This 395 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 7: system is not sustainable for US as a business model. 396 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 3: I agree, absolutely right, and the world sees that. 397 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 8: Our small businesses across the US know that it's absolutely 398 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 8: not working. The bigger companies get the capital and they 399 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 8: snarf up the innovation, and so there's a lack of 400 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 8: dynamism even in the US. But it's I got to 401 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 8: tell you, it's worse in other parts of the world. 402 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 8: The HOLMS is less dynamism, less dynamism. The IMF just 403 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 8: it is. I'm not an IMF fan, you know. I've 404 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 8: written all about removed the shackles of the IMF from 405 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 8: the poor countries where they run austerity programs. But they 406 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 8: put out their numbers this week. There's this big shind 407 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 8: again Washington. You know, the people from all over the 408 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 8: world coming in to see how much money they can 409 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 8: make from the system. And there's that one. 410 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 7: Is because we picked up best in Speech Live when 411 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 7: was reading them right act. 412 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: Why is that. 413 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 7: IMF, World Bank kind of joint meeting or whatever. Why 414 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 7: is it so big? It's because it's the annual meetings. 415 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 7: But the money is flowing constantly from it. So best 416 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 7: in trying to stand up in front of a hurricane 417 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 7: of spending and say, hey, we've got to try to 418 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 7: downsize and think about your mission. But what's going on 419 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 7: under the surface across Washington is how do we get 420 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 7: more money. 421 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 8: Out of taxpayers and out of the system. They want 422 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 8: the appropriations from the US to continue, they want a 423 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 8: new capital increases and above all they're doing credit guarantees 424 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 8: across the board, and so it's in effect nationalizing the 425 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 8: losses of particularly of China. So you know China's len 426 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 8: All this money never takes a loss and it gets 427 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 8: in the end guaranteed by the international system. 428 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 7: Walkers to that the one belt, one word, the predatory 429 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 7: capitalism kind of what we call the British East India 430 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 7: Company in reverse, all the predatory loans that they're making. 431 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 7: You're telling me that the IMF and World and other 432 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 7: institutions supported by American taxpayers support there basically give them 433 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 7: loan guarantees. 434 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, so look what happened in Argentina. Here's this bailout. 435 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 8: The first one paid off is all of China's loans 436 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 8: to Argentina. But that's going on as a system, meaning 437 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 8: in Zambia, China gets the mind plus it gets all 438 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 8: its loans repaid with interest, and so it's been very 439 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 8: profitable for. 440 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 7: Again, the project itself or the Zambian government can't do it, 441 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 7: so the loan guarantees, essentially US taxpayers doing it correct. 442 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 8: And now what they're doing is in order to get 443 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: China away, they pay them off with loan guarantees and 444 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 8: so that in effect internationalizes or multilateralizes the debt system. 445 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 8: So China looks at the whole world system and says, 446 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 8: this is a great global order. We've got to protect it. 447 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 8: They do that in the G twenty where they're a 448 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 8: dominant player. One thing I'm hoping is that the US 449 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 8: ends the G twenty after next year hosting it. 450 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: You know, oh you want to end I think. 451 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 9: We should end it. 452 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 8: It doesn't work because it, like the WTO is the 453 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 8: World Trade Organization, is a consensus process where you're expecting 454 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 8: all you've diluted, fully diluted the US stature and status 455 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 8: by saying we're going to have one vote. Each country 456 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 8: has a vote, and in the G twenty that means 457 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 8: China and. 458 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 9: Russia and Argentina and. 459 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 8: South Africa have equal and Brazil have equal votes to 460 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 8: the US, which doesn't work at all as a global system. 461 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 7: So where do you think we stand now in the 462 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 7: reordering of this so that works for not just the 463 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 7: country America, but America American American citizens. Where do you 464 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 7: think we stay this whole negotiation, the reordering to an 465 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 7: order that works for us. 466 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 9: Here's the challenge, and you named it. 467 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 8: The amount of debt and the unsustainability of the US 468 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 8: government spending is really hard to stop. 469 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: So you've got I call it an upheaval. 470 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 8: And that's what I wrote for Trump in September of 471 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. I walked that we need to recognize the 472 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 8: positive side of having a full upheaval. That means of 473 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 8: the federal reserve, of the trade system, of course, but 474 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 8: downsizing each part of the US government, whether it's the 475 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 8: education or the housing or the EPA, and its overreach 476 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 8: of regulations. So that's all ongoing bad. As you can see, 477 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 8: the resist movement is so strong. 478 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 7: I mean the Washington consensus, institutional resist move because they 479 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 7: get the grade. They just the top nineteen families just 480 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 7: created or just got tree and dollars of wealth in 481 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 7: the last like since since the beginning of the year. 482 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 7: So the system works for them. They benefit and they 483 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 7: use litigation. 484 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 8: And Washington right now today is getting rich on the 485 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 8: fight it's going on to try to downside. Some people say, well, 486 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 8: you can make a lot of money by upsizing, like 487 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 8: all the public money that's going to universities, you make 488 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 8: huge amounts.

Now, just a bit 505 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 4: of a reminder. This Time magazine piece came out literally 506 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 4: at six am this morning. It was an interview with 507 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: President Trump. That interview, though, took place apparently on Tuesday. 508 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 4: So here we are on Friday. It's been a roller 509 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 4: coaster of a week, and so many different things have 510 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 4: been said, both by the President and his Treasury Secretary 511 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 4: Scott Desson and others. But the one thing that has 512 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 4: been consistent thus far is the China, at least publicly 513 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 4: has said that there have been no talks whatsoever. And 514 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 4: of course there's also the IMF meetings. 515 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: Okay, that's andrew 'sarkin. You know him very well. 516 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 7: Squakbox. Here's the international incident that's come up. President Trump 517 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 7: gave the Time magazine interview Tuesday. 518 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: It's all over. It came out today this morning, six am. 519 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 7: He says in there they're having conversations, and I think 520 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 7: he says, she picked up the phone and calling, and 521 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 7: the Chinese are out and you've negotiated. Coming out of 522 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 7: saying there's no talks. We're not talking to Best and 523 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 7: we're not talking to Trump. We're not talking to anybody 524 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 7: in the foreign devils are trying to sow confusion your thoughts. 525 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 8: Confusion and uncertainty is part of the system. And to 526 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 8: get to an answer, you have to kind of break 527 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 8: the system that we're in, which is that people talk 528 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 8: quietly to each other and get nothing done. And so 529 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 8: Trump's doing it publicly and saying we're going to get 530 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 8: this done with deadlines. And so the question to me is, 531 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 8: if you've got the trading system broken, what can you 532 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 8: get out of it country by country? And I think 533 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 8: that's what's going on on the table right now. They're 534 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 8: supposed to come forward with proposals to get out of 535 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 8: the out of to get back into the US market. 536 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 9: You've done this before. 537 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 7: This is tuesdays, the day President Trump gave the interview. 538 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 7: We've referred this a number of times. The Financial Times 539 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 7: from the other day, as you know, have held this up. 540 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 7: Beijing warns of retaliation against nations doing US deals. Part 541 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 7: of the deals are going to have embedded in there 542 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 7: that we're kind of your lead trading partner, and you 543 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 7: know you'll make special accommodations with US, and we'll make 544 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 7: special accommodations with you. Beijing is let know, particularly the 545 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 7: East Asian countries in India, you know, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, 546 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 7: Vietnam and India. Uh, you know, no bueno, right, So 547 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 7: your thoughts. 548 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 8: Beijing has lots of influence in countries, you know, ambassadors 549 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 8: that are fully inserted into the countries. The mainstream media 550 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 8: really likes that because they can play up the China 551 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 8: side of it. 552 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 9: And it's very anti Trump and it's in its nature. 553 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 8: But what's happening kind of in the in the bureaucracy 554 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 8: of the world is they're trying to Trump proof and 555 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 8: so that goes. 556 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: What do you mean Trump? What do you mean? 557 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 7: Trump Proof means we see, we see how the Democrats 558 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 7: try to do it. 559 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 3: We see how they're trying to do it here, how 560 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: they try to do it us the world. 561 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 8: You move the money from where it can be clawed 562 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 8: backed by the US to where it can't be clawed 563 00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 8: back by. 564 00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: The walk US through that. 565 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 7: So these guys are wroun when they see Trump coming 566 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 7: to power. It's let's make sure we're beyond Trump's reach 567 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,719 Speaker 7: as far as sanctions go, as far as a swift system. 568 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 8: That's right, And you know, the Biden people know exact 569 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 8: knew exactly how. 570 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 9: To do that. They've done that in the Obama. 571 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 8: And it was same people doing the same thing, which 572 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 8: is you set up trust funds, move the money into 573 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 8: the trust fund, and write the governance rules of the 574 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 8: trust fund so that the US can't get the money, 575 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 8: so that Trump can't get the money back. But that's 576 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 8: going on even now. You know who was out did 577 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 8: you see them saying they're downsizing and then you read 578 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 8: the fine print it says from seventy six departments to 579 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 8: thirty four departments. So here you've got this organization in Geneva, 580 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 8: a very high priced part of the week. 581 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 7: That we've pulled out of and not for done a year, 582 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 7: and the CCP essentially runs. 583 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 8: But they already took all the US money and so 584 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 8: they've got some in the bank and then they're saying, well, 585 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 8: we're going to downsize and eat buy and China will 586 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 8: step up and keep it going. And so that's going 587 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 8: on in the United Nations and huge problem the you know, 588 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 8: the organizations have spread across the whole world and they're 589 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 8: deeply embedded, and so in order to do the work 590 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 8: to right size, to downsize and make it in the 591 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 8: US national interest is going to going to be really hard. 592 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 8: That's the point I was making, or that we were 593 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 8: just doing, is on trade, the customs line items, and 594 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 8: China's going to play this game. They're going through the 595 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 8: types of products and they match it up with districts 596 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 8: in the US. They advertise that they're chopping off a 597 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 8: given congressman, and then they come back and tell them 598 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 8: exactly what happened to them. Your favorite donors just got screwed, 599 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 8: and so it will be you know, full out battles. 600 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 3: Micro targeting, economic warfare. 601 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 8: That's right, and their masters, they've got big data, they 602 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 8: know how to do it, and they went through it 603 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 8: in twenty seventeen. So one problem is they're going to 604 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 8: be even harsher. This is against the background of their 605 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 8: predatory industrial policy. So you know, this is not a 606 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 8: small problem for economics. How do you run a world 607 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 8: when the second biggest economy has a super predatory industrial 608 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 8: policy where their goal is to produce every product and 609 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 8: drive you out of the market through economy of scale. 610 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 3: Let's go through that for a second. 611 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 7: When you meet predatory industrial policy, because the Germans, some 612 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 7: of the guys that were big talk understand now like 613 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 7: in the midtle was it the middle those middle companies 614 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 7: that were the pride and joy of precision tooling of Germany. 615 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 7: Now the Germans understand what the industrial policy of China 616 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 7: really is. 617 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 9: That's right now that FT article. 618 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 8: You know, one big problem is Europe is going to 619 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 8: be divided in terms of whether they want to well 620 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 8: the EU. 621 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 7: Said last night when I walked in the stage right 622 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 7: for the stage, they put in a statement, they said, hey, 623 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 7: if you want us to be part of this, to 624 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 7: decouple from China, it's not going to happen. 625 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 8: Remember the weak needs. So I remember one Macron it 626 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 8: was in the same spot in the same newspaper in 627 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 8: twenty nineteen when he'd gone to China thinking he was 628 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 8: going to get a deal, came back said I didn't 629 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 8: really get a deal, so I'm mad at China. It 630 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 8: was a big headline across Europe and then they backed 631 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 8: off completely because they can't. They're not in a position 632 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 8: to decouple. But to your German points, France is not 633 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 8: well and Germany is. You know what they've been doing 634 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 8: because their energy prices are so high, because I mean, 635 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 8: think how many huge mistakes they made. They became dependent 636 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 8: on Soviet on Russian oil, first Soviet oil and then 637 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 8: Russian gas. And they closed their nuclear power plants, so 638 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 8: their energy cost go. 639 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 7: Sky high, decarbonized as industrial power. They essentially de industrialized 640 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 7: by by buying into the cult of decarbonization. 641 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 8: And so exactly where did their factories go. They went 642 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 8: to China because they burned coal. They imported from Australia, 643 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 8: burn coal to make the electricity, and they make the 644 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 8: chemicals for the world. It's a market that Germany used 645 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 8: to have, so as German and he looks at it now. 646 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 8: What's happened on intellectual property is China systematically looked at 647 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 8: the smaller businesses that they needed from Germany, the ones 648 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 8: that make machine tools, for example, figured out how they 649 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 8: could copy that in China, take the IP and then 650 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 8: do it in China, and so then they undercut the market. 651 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 8: So Germany is now standing really harmed by this, and 652 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 8: it's going to take work. That's the I think we've 653 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 8: got years of battle to really flatten the to really. 654 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 9: Make a level playing field. 655 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 3: Go back to give. And this is what I was 656 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: trying to say last night. 657 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 7: Given the decades that our decision makers have made horrible decisions. 658 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 7: It's narrowed the range of alternatives that we have, and 659 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 7: we don't have any easy alternative. That's what I was 660 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 7: trying to say last night, the converging crises. Here are 661 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 7: multiple crises, and on none of them do we have 662 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 7: easy alternatives. And that's going to lead to a special 663 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 7: group of If your hardened in your tough, you're going 664 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 7: to ability to make our decisions and live by them. 665 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 3: You'll get through this. If you're not, you're going to 666 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 3: lose the country. 667 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 8: That's right, But I think that means that we have 668 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 8: to focus on the things that we have to have first, 669 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 8: and so that means decisions by the president on which 670 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 8: industries can be brought back and then which ones can 671 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 8: stockpile and be prepared over the long run to really 672 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 8: get the job done. 673 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 3: You're saying triage it now. I think it has to be. 674 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 7: There's been a natural tendency to hate the concept of 675 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 7: industrial policy in the United States, although we do have 676 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 7: industrial policy by our tax structure, right, essentially, are you 677 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 7: saying we have more of an industrial policy that we 678 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 7: have to think strategically about this. 679 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 9: I think we have to match the world. 680 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 8: There's a little bit of reflexivity or of reciprocity in 681 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 8: that if they're doing it. But Reagan I worked hard 682 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 8: on this in the Reagan administration. He made the distinction 683 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 8: between industrial policy that would protect fat US corporations and 684 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 8: I'll name two. I'll name one because one still exists. 685 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 8: But Kodak, remember was the biggest lobbyist. Instead of inventing 686 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,399 Speaker 8: new cameras, they were lobbying in d C. He said no, 687 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 8: but he took on the Japanese on autos and that 688 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 8: really changed the industry. So there was some decision making, 689 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 8: I mean very important decision making. Same thing in the 690 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 8: defense area. 691 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 9: You know the name. 692 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 3: It wasn't US Steelers, No, it was not. 693 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 8: I don't want to say, what about the defactive lobbying 694 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 8: in DC today for more protection? 695 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 7: What about what about the defense industry. It's one of 696 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 7: the things I've been all over is that we just can't. 697 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 7: It's it's obscene to me to have the EU come 698 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 7: out and make a statement that they're not they can't 699 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 7: consider decoupling, and their deal is going to reflect that. 700 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 7: At the same time, we have two carrier battle groups 701 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 7: at the mouth of the Red Sea. 702 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 3: One is for the Hooties and the whole. 703 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 7: Persian and Arabian and Israeli, but the others that keep 704 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 7: the canal open for trade to Europe. 705 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 3: And they've got a role navy. 706 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 7: Forget a French corvette and an Italian destroyan. 707 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 3: That's all they've given to the effort. 708 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 9: They you know, really depended on the US. 709 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 8: Now that we should be very proud of being Americans, 710 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 8: and everybody listening, I hope will be proud of that. 711 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 8: Because the US has a strong economy, a strong military, 712 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 8: and can do the job for itself. We can protect ourselves. 713 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 8: But what we have to do is get changes in Europe. 714 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 8: Obviously they're they're really flabby, and so that's got to 715 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 8: be got to be turned around. On defense, though, we're 716 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 8: in Kansas City right now, I've met a lot of 717 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 8: current military and ex military people and they are so 718 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 8: proud of America, but they no one voices support for 719 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 8: a trillion dollar defense. 720 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 3: But I'm a vecher to nobody, nobody who realized it. 721 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're out of control. 722 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 3: So then that gets to the choices somebody, and these 723 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 3: are paid, These are people that are prey, the hardest 724 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 3: core patriot. 725 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 8: They want the Defense Department to make choices of do 726 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 8: we need every kind of ship and do we have 727 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 8: to make them? Can't we use shipbuilding industry outside because 728 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 8: we need them fast, we need cheap, but we don't 729 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 8: need all these fanciest missiles. We need to have electronics there. 730 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 7: What about But the basic point, Look, you were the 731 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 7: treasure International Finance, so this would come under your at 732 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 7: least strategic overview essentially what President Trump is saying in 733 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,959 Speaker 7: this hemispheric defense. And the reason one of the reasons 734 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 7: we've got James Polk is the tiny magazine tell us 735 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 7: up on one of the portraits on the wall, is 736 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 7: that from Greenland to the Panama Canal, and obviously Brazil's 737 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 7: gotta be taking care of in Argentina, in Latin America 738 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 7: and South America, but from Panama Canal to Greenland, it's 739 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 7: a naval strategy. You take the vast potentral Pacific, you 740 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 7: do the three island chains, of which Pete went to Hawaii, Guam, 741 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 7: the Philippines in order that's the from the Artic. 742 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 3: You're going to have to get involved in the Artic, 743 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 3: right because a great power struggle. 744 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 7: But I think it's one of the reasons Canada could 745 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 7: end up being like Ukraine with China taking a bite 746 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 7: out of their territorial integrity up there. You do that, 747 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 7: you totally reset the military all of a sudden, you're 748 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 7: not worried that much about the Eurasian land mass, and 749 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 7: you have an expeditionary force of marines and army and 750 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 7: navy that could that could, that can go anywhere. 751 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 3: If you if you have a hotspot. Isn't that the 752 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 3: way you have to have. 753 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 7: To realign the NDAA has got to be realigned with 754 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 7: the basic new strategy. 755 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 8: That's right, that's right geopolitically, and that's maybe a brilliant strategy, 756 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 8: and we can think Trump is thinking about it that way. 757 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 9: But here's the problem. 758 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 8: The Defense Department right now is I think, still Trump 759 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 8: proofing itself. So they figure out which contracts would be 760 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 8: non canceled. 761 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 7: And then we're going to keep you around, David Malpaz 762 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 7: dropping truth bombs. 763 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 3: You're on a Trump proofing. 764 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 7: I love that thing about moving the money around, right, 765 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 7: Moving the money runs very very very important. I might 766 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 7: ask you about the bricks movement, and one of the 767 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 7: things they're saying is we've used the dollar too much. 768 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,959 Speaker 7: Is a weapon, and that's why the Chinese are getting 769 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 7: a hearing by the bricks. Besides the drop in purchasing 770 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 7: power of the dollar, also it's been used as a weapon. 771 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 3: Short commercial break. 772 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 7: Birch Gol will go to the So for four years 773 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 7: have been doing this series, The End of the Dollar Empire. 774 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 7: Go to Birch Gold dot com slash bandon the six 775 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 7: free installment Modern monetary theory, the idea that broke the world. 776 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 3: You got to get up to speed on this. 777 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 7: Remember, if you understand how money works, if you understand 778 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 7: how capital markets work, you will therefore start to have 779 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 7: a whole new view of politics because. 780 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 3: It's all about money and power. 781 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 7: Short commercial break, David moultpass one more episode, one more 782 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 7: slot for him. 783 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 3: Let's be back in a moment. 784 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 8: For the Lord. 785 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:59,760 Speaker 3: We will put it God, let's take down. Let's confuse 786 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: who Stephen came back. So let's talk. Let's have your 787 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 3: other thoughts. 788 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 7: I want to get on the table of you know, 789 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 7: the Trump proofing, uh, what the Pentagon is doing to 790 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 7: Trump proof because we're very upset about the tree and dollars, 791 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 7: and you're saying they're already thinking ahead of how they 792 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 7: how they are resistant to the basillas of the Trump 793 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 7: movement omega that you know, it's. 794 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 8: Hard to get inside each of these agencies been around 795 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 8: the government. What they what they know and they're skilled at, 796 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 8: is the contracts. So if you can lock in the 797 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 8: contract in a way that it can't be undone, then 798 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 8: your your money good. And so in the Defense Department, 799 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 8: one of the problems is the primary contractors are so dominant. 800 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 9: Uh so they. 801 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 7: Only five so you got it's like the five families 802 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 7: of the mafia, right, they run the deal. 803 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 8: You said last night, oligarchs, and so in that way, 804 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 8: they can really crowd out anybody else and if they 805 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 8: can get the contracts to them, then they can protect them. 806 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 8: So it just makes it hard for the changes to 807 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 8: be made. And the amounts of money that we're talking 808 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 8: about are huge. You know, they're they're they're doing they're 809 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 8: doing ten billion dollars twenty billion dollars on individual contracts 810 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 8: and so that they're you know, they're moving as fast 811 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 8: as it can. 812 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 9: It's you know, in the Senate, think what's going on. 813 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 8: The resist movement is super strong, which means the time 814 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 8: on the floor in the Senate to get the appointees 815 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 8: in just takes. 816 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 10: Senate confirmation guys, right, yeah, confirmation, the decision slow have 817 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 10: to come in at the top and make decisions, and 818 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 10: they slow walk them and and shit, Chuck Schumer, is 819 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 10: you know a master at how do you how do 820 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 10: you use up as much time time as possible? 821 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 8: This is going to be an issue coming back to 822 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 8: the government spending of how do you get enough resizing 823 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,919 Speaker 8: of the government. You need recisions, but those are hard 824 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 8: to do because they take floor time. You need executive 825 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 8: branch authority, which Trump is asserting, and I think that's 826 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 8: going to be a realment. 827 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 9: Impoundment has to be looked at, you. 828 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 8: Know, if you look at and I was on the 829 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 8: staff at the Center Budget Committee, so I know a 830 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 8: lot about this. 831 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 3: In nineteen seventy four, Nixon was at his weak spot and. 832 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 8: The Democrats put through the Budget Impoundment Act of seventy four, 833 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 8: which took away the president's power over spending because they 834 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 8: wanted themselves to be able to spend and get the 835 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,720 Speaker 8: campaign contributions. How is it that members come to Washington 836 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 8: with no money and then they go out rich. Well 837 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 8: that it's because they're controlling the and generously providing full 838 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 8: funding for everybody, and so breaking through that is it 839 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 8: really takes executive branch authority. 840 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 9: Can I say on that, I think we need more 841 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 9: than that. 842 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 8: The checks and balances are not strong enough in the 843 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 8: Constitution against the size of government. They in their wisdom 844 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 8: in the Founding Fathers, they protected the free speech, they 845 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 8: protected religion, they protected against search, illegal search and seizure 846 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 8: of citizens. 847 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 3: UH. 848 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 8: And these were really powerful, but they didn't realize they 849 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 8: needed to protect uh and have a real check and 850 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 8: balance against government getting too big. So we're now in 851 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 8: a spot where Trump will really have to show new 852 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 8: procedures because when he'll be gone someday. Uh. And the 853 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 8: Democrats will come back someday. And their whole idea is 854 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 8: to have everybody work for the government. That's that would 855 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 8: be an ideal. They would say, well, that would give 856 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 8: us a lot of GDP growth because it would be 857 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 8: very stable. And you say, yeah, where's it going to 858 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 8: come from debt? Right, So we've got to get back 859 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 8: to a small business system. We could turn the bricks 860 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 8: if you want. I've said my peace on that. Oh, 861 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 8: and they want to do the FED. 862 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 7: But hang on, let's do let's let's do a couple 863 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 7: of minutes on bricks. And then we'll do let's do 864 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:55,959 Speaker 7: the FED first. 865 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 8: What. 866 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we we are big believer an ending the FED. 867 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 9: What are your thoughts? 868 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 8: We have a broken system like trade and how many 869 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 8: mistakes can the FED make on inflation deflation? And you 870 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 8: know I've written over and over in the Wall Street 871 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 8: Journal that they never look back and introspect. Why did 872 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 8: we make such a big mistake? Well, it's because they 873 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 8: have stupid models. The models are what's called neo Kinsey, 874 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 8: and that means they have a concept of how people 875 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 8: work and grow. That's playing wrong. That's the core Phillips 876 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 8: curve model. But it's the fascination with CPI, which we 877 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 8: can't even counter. You know, I really don't think you 878 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 8: get right numbers out of CPI, and yet they're using 879 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 8: it to set interest rates. They have this immense power 880 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 8: to buy bonds, any kind of bonds. Even in twenty 881 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 8: twenty three, people don't know. In the heat of the campaign, 882 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 8: as they were trying to Trump proof Washington against against Trump, 883 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 8: they set up thirteen They used. The FED used as 884 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 8: thirteen three authority in March of twenty twenty three to 885 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 8: allow the FED to lend to banks for as if 886 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 8: the collateral as if bonds were at one hundred cents 887 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 8: on the dollar when they were only worth ninety. 888 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,439 Speaker 7: Well, because they were blowing holes in these their own 889 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 7: bonds were blowing holes in the balance sheets. After the 890 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 7: Silicon Valley Bank and other things, the bailouts. 891 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 8: And don't forget, the FED was the biggest it's the 892 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 8: world's biggest has fun with the world's biggest loss unrealized 893 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 8: on its book. So every year now we are stuck 894 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 8: American taxpayers with realizing two hundred and fifty billion dollars 895 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 8: of losses from the FED. 896 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 3: But that understates, because underwater. 897 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,240 Speaker 8: Is all their entire their big They have seven trillion 898 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,879 Speaker 8: dollars of a bond portfolio that's lost money. And what's worse, 899 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 8: as I say in twenty twenty three, they they allowed 900 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 8: this freebe lending to banks that they were trying to protect. 901 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 8: So now I do want to say the importance of 902 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 8: a central bank anywhere in the world is to protect 903 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 8: the currency of the people, because otherwise devaluations kill people 904 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 8: on the box, you know, really cause in the developing 905 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 8: world it actually causes starvation, poverty. One of the things 906 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 8: I thought at the World Bank was the imass tendency 907 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 8: to have everybody devalue because it protects them and the 908 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 8: elites in the country. 909 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 9: We've got to stop that. 910 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 3: We're going to get you back on later and another 911 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 3: time to do to do bricks and other things. 912 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 7: Been fascinating.
