1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back. George Nor with you along with

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Craig Hewlett. His latest book is called Corporatism and Empire

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: or Philosophy of Fascism and his website is linked up

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: at Coast to Coast AM dot com. Will take calls

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: with Craig. Next. Now, horrible situation in Iran. Protesters protesting

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: the price of fuel and hundreds and I think the

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: number is much higher than what was reported. They reported

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: two hundred, but I think it's probably higher. Gunned down

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: by their military. How long can that country sustain that

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of action? Within oh, pretty much forever. Iran has

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: got one of the largest, most well trained militaries. It's

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: spent ten years in a full blown war with Iraq.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: It didn't defeat Iraq, but diract didn't defeat Iran either.

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: They do have chemical weapons, they don't have biological they

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: don't have nuclear weapons at this time. But again, as

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: a nation state where the sovereignty exists at the state level,

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: which means nothing more really than and this is a

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: leftist viewpoint which I don't necessarily hold all the time,

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: but the left would describe sovereign a sovereign nation is

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: that the nation holds the exclusive power to the use

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: of force, and Iran exercises that force. But you know,

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Iran is hardly the worst nation in the region. One

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of the other things in a recent white paper that

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: I've had to publish to my client base because some

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: of them travel was the absolute ridiculous number of beheadings,

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: upside down, crucifixions, outright, crucifixions, stonings that take place in

28
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Kuwait on a regular basis. Oh my god.

29
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: And it's in the hundreds right now each year. But

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: I suspect we're only getting half the story. My guess

31
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: is it's far more than that. But you know, there's

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: no country in the Middle East that has our kind

33
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: of constitution or our ability to claim and I say

34
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: claim that we're free and sovereign people, we're not. We

35
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: have no right to claim that other countries don't have

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: sovereignty when we no longer are a sovereign nation state,

37
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: we don't take Our orders are realistic orders that things

38
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: that matter about the things that matter. Congress is supposed

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: to decide, they're supposed to conduct foreign trade they're supposed

40
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: to issue the coin and then the money of the realm.

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Congress has abdicated its authority on almost every single thing,

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: and it still does today. Just passed one of the

43
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: worst pieces of legislation since the late eighties in thirty

44
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: three years of his three, the two and eighteen, which

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: was passed almost Christmas Day on two and seventeen, and

46
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Trump signed it into law two thousand and eighteen, Tax

47
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Cuts in Jobs Act. All you ever heard was that

48
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: it was supposed to create jobs. It didn't supposed to

49
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: create an environment of investment by businesses. It didn't. And

50
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: what it did do is it created an absolute windfall

51
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: twenty one percent tax rate down from thirty five percent

52
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: for corporations. Now the largest corporations have had at least

53
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: one full year and we're going into the second full

54
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: year where they will pay no income tax on remarkable

55
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: amounts of profit. They said Trump wouldn't sell out the country.

56
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: He did the first year, almost to the date of

57
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. They voted the houseless in it voted for

58
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: this tax bill, and then the media went along and

59
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: promoted it that it was for you and I that

60
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: we would get tax breaks. We got little, tiny, tiny

61
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: little ones, snippets snippets of tax breaks. They got a

62
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: twenty they're down to twenty one percent minimum income tax.

63
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: That that's the maximum they can be charged now. But

64
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the largest multinational corporations United Technology, Amazon, Netflix pay no

65
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: income tax. Now, that's why we have the largest deficits

66
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: growing at thirty percent every year. Tack. Those companies alone

67
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: should pay the tax and sub subsidize the working man

68
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: and a woman. Exactly if we were sovereign, our representatives

69
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: would vote that way. But we are not sovereign, and

70
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: they're not sovereign. They voted away their sovereignty. So if

71
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: they voted away their sovereignty, who represents the American people

72
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: in the House Senate? That would be nobody. What's your

73
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: take on this impeachment proceedings. I think the House will

74
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: vote to impeach, it will go to the Senate for

75
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: a trial. I think it'll just languish there, nothing will happen.

76
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: But what's your take on that? Craig? Well, you know,

77
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't do current events and I could care less

78
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. That's everybody just got that so wrong.

79
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: You know, I get it that Donald Trump's a narcissist.

80
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Obama wasn't George Bush Junior strutting down the aircraft carrier

81
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: in a flight suit pretending he flew the F fifteam

82
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: that landed. He wasn't a narcissist. Come on, of course

83
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: Trump's a narcissist. You can't get elected unless you are.

84
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: So let's get over the fact that the president doesn't

85
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: represent anything and he can't do anything. Will he be impeached,

86
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. He may be. He may hold the House,

87
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: may hold the the so called hearings, They may censure him.

88
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: They may even impeach him the way they did Bill Clinton.

89
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: But they won't throw him out of office. No, that's

90
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: not going to happen. They won't. They're not going to

91
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: do it. But they're not going to do it because

92
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: there's not evidence, and or they're not not going to

93
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: do it because they're Democrats and they're just doing this

94
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: to get elected during an election year. They're not going

95
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: to not do it for the reasons you and I

96
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: would rather see them not do it. They're not gonna

97
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: do it for every president coming up, and it backfire

98
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: your president, It could backfire on the Democrats. Don't you

99
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: think I think it already has. I think they couldn't

100
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: have handed a better victory to Donald Trump than to

101
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: start yelling impeachment. You're right. I think you're right, whether

102
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: he's guilty or not, because, like I said, the same

103
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: House and Senate voted to pass the legislation that grants

104
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: the largest wealthiest corporation, including the banks, the largest banks

105
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: on Earth, that record record profits every year now don't

106
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: pay any income tax whatsoever. And by the way, when

107
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the press went after Netflix and Amazon for not paying

108
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: income tax because their tax was reduced to twenty one

109
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: percent under the new tax law, they just laughed. They

110
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: said things like, yeah, but we paid tax when we

111
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: were in Italy, We paid the taxes when we were

112
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: doing business in Germany. Helps them. Sure, Yeah, those people

113
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: are doing great, they got taxes. No, the irs is

114
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: going to continue going after the middle class because the

115
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: largest corporations are making the rules that govern everything our

116
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: House and Senate does. Our House and Senate have abdicated

117
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: their authority to be sovereigns over this nation in our

118
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: bast what's your take on China and the situation in

119
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Hong Kong that's been brewing for a long time, And

120
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: I really really hope it doesn't get worse. But China

121
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: has the ability and the capability, and I believe they

122
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: have the will to do something under Trump that they

123
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: would never dare do if we had a customary elitist

124
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: from the rank in the White House. If it doesn't

125
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: happen in the next two years, it won't happen. China

126
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: will back off, Hong Kong will go back to normal.

127
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: But an awful lot of people are going to jail. Yeah,

128
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: and they could get hurt too. Yes, you know, that's

129
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: that's the one of the quotes. Like I said, I

130
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: use different people for this book because it goes back

131
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: over fifteen years. I was researching you were you were

132
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: working on the book while you were on the shows

133
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: with me during all these years. Yeah, and then I

134
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: never and I never used these quotes. I never talked

135
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: about these people because I was holding it back to

136
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: prove that we have a corporate empire, we no longer

137
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: have a nation state, and you and I are no

138
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: longer sovereign. That's the given in this book. That's the

139
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 1: postmodern problematic. The third title of the book, postmodernities problematic.

140
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: That's the problematic. You and I aren't sovereign citizens anymore.

141
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: We do not have representatives that are sovereign. And the

142
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: corporations that are doing what they're doing throughout the world

143
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: was written about by Ralph Peters called Constant Conflict from

144
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven in Parameters magazine. Listen to what he's

145
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: said in ninety seven, and I've lived with this since

146
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: I put this in my book without ever mentioning it.

147
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: He says, quote, and he's a full bird colonel. There

148
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: will be no peace at any given moment for the

149
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: rest of our lifetimes. There will be a multiple conflicts

150
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate

151
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: the headlines, but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier

152
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and ultimately more decisive. The de facto role of the

153
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: US armed forces will be to keep the world safe

154
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: for our economy and open to our cultural assault to

155
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: those ends. Our economy and open to our cultural assault

156
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: to those ends. We will do a fair amount of killing,

157
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: and we do and we have. That's what I've been

158
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: living with. Vice Admiral Robert Mueller General William kip Ward

159
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: both said about AFRICAM in two thousand and eight that

160
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: africam's goal is to protecting the free flow of natural

161
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: resources from Africa and the global market. We're not there

162
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: to create democracy. We're there to see that the pipelines

163
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and the roadways and the waterways. And that's why we

164
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: took out Libya because Kadafi wouldn't let us go through

165
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Libya for the raw materials to every nation south of Libya.

166
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: So Kadafi had to go. Every nationalistic leader that represents

167
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: his people good or bad, good or bad doesn't matter,

168
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: they have to go. Was Saddam Hussein trying to get

169
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: off the dollar for petrol, Yes, that's another reason he

170
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: got done in. And that's another reason why China and Russia,

171
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: in South Africa and Brazil are all talking about going

172
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: to a dollar based not a dollar based economy any longer.

173
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: But even OPEC is talking now that the dollar based

174
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: OPEC maybe isn't going to survive either. Nobody wants to

175
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: be dominated by the Federal Reserve note because they're being

176
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: dominated not by America, nope, anymore, did by a corporate

177
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: world who's set up a system of international governing organizations,

178
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: the IMF, the World Bank, Bank for International Settlement. They

179
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: created it under a plan that was developed under Kennedy.

180
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Vincent Rock helped create it. He was a national security guy.

181
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: The Strategy of Interdependence is the title of his book.

182
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: But they were thinking about creating the interdependence as a

183
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: form of democracy throughout the world. This was usurped by

184
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: the corporate world and they're using that vehicle, this web

185
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: of influence of international governing organizations like the WTO, which

186
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: will dictate to US companies, corporations, and individuals how you

187
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: do business, and if you contest it, they'll sue you. Craig,

188
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: say what you will about Jimmy Hoffa, but the one

189
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: thing he really did do was trying to protect the

190
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: American worker. Yeah, and that's the other thing that's going

191
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: to go by the way effect it is going right now,

192
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: the unions are going The ones that are capable of

193
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: surviving are UPS and FedEx right now. But that's until

194
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: UPS and FedEx get taken over. Everybody is subject to

195
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: a takeover because the new rules dictate differently. It's the

196
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: corporate world. Most people don't understand. Corporations don't do business

197
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: and aren't tacked and treated the same as individuals. If

198
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: you form a corporation, whether it's a hundred million, or

199
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: a thousand million, or a trillion dollars, You do business

200
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: under a completely different set of rules. When the Federal

201
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Reserve was created, which the Congress abdicated its authority to

202
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: coin the money. When that took place, they also coincidentally,

203
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: That's why Jack Metcalf hired me. He didn't believe in

204
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: coincidence anymore than I do. Did they coincidentally create the

205
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: laws for foundations trust? Did they create the irs the

206
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: same day they created the Federal Reserve because they knew

207
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: they were going to be collecting on the interest on

208
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the debt that they would loan our government. Now the

209
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: debt is the number one item in the budget, not defense.

210
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Catherine interest to the bank. Catherine Austin Fitz tells Us

211
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Craig that twenty one trillion dollars is missing from the coffers.

212
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: That's correct, actually, though that wasn't the Levy Institute's correct figure,

213
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: as they have a handle on it because it was

214
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: turned over to the Levy Institute to investigate it. Because

215
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: it's the only economic arm that's independent of the government.

216
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: They're saying forty three trillion dollars has left the treasury

217
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: double and I have a readouts. First thing I did

218
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: when I heard I went to the Levy Institute. I

219
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: asked them to send me a readout, a print out

220
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: of every corporation and bank that received money from the

221
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: United States government. They received two hundred thousand dollars to

222
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. Basically free money. I guess it's

223
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: free money. They just literally printed the money through the Fed,

224
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: through the Treasury, and gave it to everything that mattered

225
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: throughout the world. Was bought and paid for. That's how

226
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: they bought the world to go along with our corporate

227
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: leaders running the empire and then using the Pentagon anytime

228
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: they need to. If somebody opposes the person we put

229
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: in power in the Congo, we call them terrorists. We

230
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: kill them, saying with every nation throughout the world, and

231
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: now throughout the world, the people that would most likely

232
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: oppose them have been bought and paid for. When did

233
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: we lose this? When did it happen? You've got a

234
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: guy that that you put on every once in a while.

235
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: It's a clip. It's a fairly good clip. He says

236
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: that um the elite. He thinks they're more dark and

237
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: conspiratorial than I do. But it's it's not it's not

238
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: without Jesse Ventura clip I think. Okay, when when he's

239
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: arguing that these dark forces are out there and trying

240
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: to create an empire, um, he says that they won't win. Okay,

241
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: going back thirty years, when I would give a lecture

242
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: and start arguing that we have a corporate empire, or

243
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: people would raise their hand, they would say, well, they're

244
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: not gonna win. I said, you're not listening to me.

245
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether they win, it's that they'll try.

246
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: And in that trying, they will use the Pentagon and

247
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: they will do like parameters like Ralph Peters said, we

248
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: will do a fair amount of killing. And they are

249
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: and they are. I want to talk with you before

250
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: the break about farm bankruptcies. What's happening there? Well, again,

251
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: everybody that hates Trump and wants to see him impeach,

252
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: they're doing it for political reasons. They're Democrats. I'm neither

253
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: a Democrat or a Republican. So I mean, you happen

254
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: to work for a Republican congressman then, but you were

255
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: right down the medal, well, I will only work for

256
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: him in one sense. When he hired me, I said, well,

257
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to tell me what I have to do.

258
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: And he said, you don't have to do anything except

259
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: exactly what you do for a living, but give it

260
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: to me first, perfect And I said, perfect, I'll do that.

261
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: But it didn't make any difference. He really wasn't a Republican.

262
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: Only a Republican could run against the Democrat in office,

263
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: and when he was that pragmatic, so I really didn't

264
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: work for a Republican. I got a check from the

265
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: Treasury by being an anarchist, and he allowed me to

266
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: publish the works and write a speeches that sounded very

267
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: convincing as a Republican. Listen to more Coast to Coast
