1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,480 Speaker 1: Toledo. 2 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: Look at this trend line here, US support for Ukraine 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 2: is too much. Back when the war began, back in 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: February of twenty twenty two, it was just seven percent. 5 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 2: Up like a rocket ship, my goodness. Up now in 6 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: February of twenty twenty five to forty one percent, and 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 2: the clear majority of Republicans, and of course Republicans are 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: in charge of the US government. Now sixty two percent 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: of Republicans say that the US support for Ukraine is 10 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: too much. What a difference from just three years ago. 11 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: I can remember, John, all those backyards in the United 12 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: States with there was Ukrainian flags, far few of them today, 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: as Americans opinions on Ukraine have changed dramatically. 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 3: What about opinions of the Ukrainian president? Right? 15 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: You know, obviously, if you would expect changes amongst the public, 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: feelings towards Ukraine, feelings towards Zelensky have changed also dramatically. 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 2: Look at this confidence Zlensky will do the right thing 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: when it comes to world affairs. Back in twenty twenty two, 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: it was the clear majority, seventy two percent, through the floor, 20 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: through the floor. By twenty twenty four, just forty eight 21 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 2: percent of Americans say that they're confident that Zelenski will 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: do the right thing when it comes to world affairs, 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: and GOP confidence has also plummeted dramatically. Now the clear 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: majority of Republicans are not confident, not confident that Zelenski 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs. 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: Really a real trend line ones you rarely see in 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: the American public when it comes to Ukraine and Zelensky, 28 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: confidence in both going down. 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: Through the grow Some allies of President Trump have targeted 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: Zelenski with horror criticism over the last few years, and 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: he could be that that's. 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: Having any Absolutely, the Republican establishment, the Republican electorate has 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: moved as the Republican establishment and Republican. 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: Leaders have moved on. 35 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the idea of a peace deal. 36 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 3: And again, the way you ask this matters, but. 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: The way you ask it is important. So we can 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: talk about this a little bit. So the pole question 39 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: essentially is do you support a Russia Ukraine negotiated peace deal? 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: The vast majority of Americans this is what they want. 41 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Seventy eight percent say that they support this idea, versus 42 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: just sixteen percent of post of course, as we were 43 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: talking about, does this question actually get at what's going 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: on right now? I think you would say that it 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: probably does not necessarily get. 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: What's going out right now. 47 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: No, the question asked, do you support a Russia Ukraine 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: negotiate a peace deal? Ukraine's not there at the negotiations 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: in Saudi Arabia this week, so the people were not 50 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: asked this. And I do think in general, if you 51 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 3: ask anyone in any poll do you support peace, peace 52 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: tends to rate pretty highly. 53 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: Peace tends to win. 54 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: You rarely get seventy eight percent of the country agreeing 55 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: on anything. They do agree on the idea of negotiated 56 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Whether the majority would 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: agree on a Russia peace deal with Ukraine where Ukraine 58 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: has nothing to do with it, that might. 59 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: Be a different question. Hard to know, Harriet, and thank you. 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 61 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going. 62 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 4: To medieval on these people. 63 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: There's not got a free shot. All these networks lying 64 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: about the people people have had a belly full of it. 65 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you 66 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: tried to do everything in the world to stop that. 67 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: But you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 68 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 5: And where do people like that go to share the 69 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: big line? 70 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: Mega media? I wish in my soul, I wish that 71 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: any of these people had a conscience. 72 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 73 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 6: If that answer is to save my country, this country. 74 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Will be saved. 75 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 7: War Room. Here's your host. 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Stephen K. Bath Monday, seventeenth February. Y're of villerd twenty 77 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: twenty five. It's President's Day, a day that we remember 78 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: all the presidents, but particularly General Washington and Abraham Lincoln. 79 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: That's what's so fascinating to talk about President Trump on 80 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: a daylight today, because he's the third in the triumvirate. 81 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: Ben Harnwell joins us, Ben, we have take a little 82 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: satisfaction of those numbers from Harry Inton because the war room, 83 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: Posse and the war room we have worked now for 84 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: three years to make sure the American people had all 85 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: the facts, and once given the facts, they come to 86 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: their own conclusion, and the conclusion as we got to 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: get the hell out of Ukraine. We should have never 88 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: been there. This has been a disaster. We just want 89 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: to go. Of course, the European folks in Europe are 90 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: about to come upon that because they're about to have 91 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: to pay the full freight. They're going to be given 92 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: an option, which we're going to talk about here momentarily. 93 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: The only thing Ben I question about Harry Inton is 94 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: he goes, oh, as a Republican establishment has come that way, 95 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: The republic establisher are not there. There's video over the weekend, 96 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: as you remember, Ben with a love fest of Zelensky 97 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: walking in a room and Roger Wicker and white House 98 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: it was a bipartisan of the warmongers, and white House 99 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: said Sheldon, wellhe has something was saying, you're among friends. 100 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: So it's not just the Republican establisher, it's it's the 101 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: warm established order of the United States that's still pushing 102 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: this against just as they said, a stunning transformation in 103 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: what the American people think about this entire war. 104 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: Ben Harnwell, Steve believing to you, I think Lindsey Graham 105 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 5: and Joany Ernst might have been in the room along 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: with the Green Goblin. 107 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: This weekend and two absolutely useless senators. 108 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 5: So in the morning show today, you'll ask me the 109 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 5: question about am I surprised by Europe's comeback. 110 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: Readiness so soon? 111 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 5: And I pivoted the question and look, let's just rephrase 112 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 5: this in terms of am I surprised by their ability 113 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 5: to be performative at such short notice? And I said, 114 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 5: I'm not remotely surprised. Well, since those words on this show, Steve, 115 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 5: we now have the confirmation of just how sadly performative 116 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 5: that the meeting in Paris is today with all the 117 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 5: various heads of government from Europe, along with a vonderline. 118 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: Let's go straight to British Prime Minister Sekire style. This 119 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 5: is what he says, and Steve, before I read the quote, 120 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 5: I just want the war in Posse to bear in mind. 121 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: This is exactly what this show said. Back in October November, 122 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 5: leaning on reportage from Foreign Policy magazine, Richard said that 123 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 5: the the Biden administration was making assurances to the European 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 5: capitals that if they stepped forward in their own names 125 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 5: offering the security guarantees, it would be the the US 126 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 5: would come to their aid in the situation that was 127 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 5: actually made an attack and support them. 128 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: Only one in the whole world. 129 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 5: And I followed this extremely closely that only Foreign Policy 130 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 5: had mentioned that. This is what Kissed Arma says today 131 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 5: to his European colleagues. Europe must play its role and 132 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 5: I'm prepared to consider committing British forces on the ground 133 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: alongside others if there's a lasting peace agreement. But there 134 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 5: must be a US backstop because a US security guarantee 135 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 5: is the only way to effectively to turn Russia from 136 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 5: attacking Ukraine again. 137 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: So there's the there's the Brits, the wiley Brits. 138 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: Basically saying that to President Trump, to the US, not 139 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 5: so fast, come back. 140 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 4: Here, because of course there's no money. 141 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 5: As we mentioned on the morning show today, one of 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 5: the facts that we realize that there's no mon is 143 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 5: that the European Union is ursal arsel of Wonderlion. Specifically, presidents, 144 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 5: an elected president of the European Commission, has said she's 145 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 5: looking into manipulating the Constitution and mending the constitution so 146 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 5: that the EU can borrow money, borrow money, put it 147 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 5: down onto the next generation of European citizens in order 148 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: to continue to fight in Ukraine. Because if there's one thing, 149 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 5: these corrupt, sociopathic overlord's no right down to the marrow 150 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: in their bones is that this hoax has not penetrated 151 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: through to the European peoples and they do not want 152 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 5: to be paying more taxes for a war that they 153 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 5: see no just course in fighting. One example of this, Steve, 154 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 5: and I have to say this is absolutely astonishing, is 155 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 5: the situation in Germany. 156 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: This is really a statement made by o. 157 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 5: Life Schultz, the German Chancellor, remembering of course that there 158 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 5: are federal elections coming up this Sunday on the twenty 159 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 5: third of February, which he is projected to lose, and 160 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 5: he has said that the Germans have a very obviously 161 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 5: very suchy passed when it comes to inflationary deficit spending 162 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 5: because of the rise of the Nazis in the twenties 163 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 5: and thirties. So it's hardwide into the German nature not 164 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 5: to do this, not like the UK and the US 165 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 5: are doing. And it's in the constitution that the government 166 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 5: can't borrow in any one year more than norz zero 167 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 5: point three to five percent of its annual gd puris 168 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 5: very low number by other standards. That is, of course 169 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: because of the German memory of how hyper inflation runaway. 170 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 5: Hyper Inflation led to necessarily to some extent to Totalitterranism 171 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 5: to bring everything back under control. So what Olaf Schultz 172 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 5: has said is that in order to circumvent this, to 173 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: get more money going for Ukraine, the next government after 174 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: the elections on some it will probably need. 175 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 4: To declare a state of emergency. 176 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 5: Astonishing thing for him to say, Steve. And of course 177 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 5: they're saying that this is the regime, the international regime, 178 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 5: saying that Donald Trump represents the great threat to norms, 179 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: checks and balances. And here is one of the leading 180 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 5: figures of your saying we need to declare a state 181 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 5: of emergency in Germany in order to get the spending 182 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 5: to the definit spending high enough to fill the gap 183 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 5: left by Americans. 184 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: That's how I think, Ben Ben. I think these things 185 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: are healthy. I think it's healthy that I think it's 186 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: healthy that they've they've finally come to It took shock treatment, 187 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: but it took this past week with Pete hegxa's speech, 188 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: JD's speech, Scott Besont having just just tough discussions with 189 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: these people about mineral rights over there and the and 190 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: of course Pasobic and the war room and others, to 191 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: let these guys know, hey, we've been talking about this forever. 192 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: We are not supplicants. The United States are not supplicants 193 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: coming to beg you to come. We don't. We're going 194 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: to cut the money off. We're not going to put 195 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: arms up. It's one of the reasons Keith Kellogg's now 196 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: on the plane to Reod. There's no more troops, there's 197 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: no more money. We're out, We're done, We're finished. We're 198 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: not going to do this anymore. And now when they 199 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: have to. I like the fact these call emergency measures 200 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: because the German people are going, what the hell are 201 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: you doing? You're going to start barring now to put 202 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: money into Ukraine. I think it's great that circure is 203 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: over there Starmer saying that, saying that, oh, I'm going 204 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: to commit combat troops for security. I want those people. 205 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: I want the Europeans to step up and then see 206 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: what they're people in their countries are going to say. 207 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: Because the people in the country haven't had, haven't been 208 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: hit with the economic reality of what it means to 209 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: pay five percent of your GDP for defense, they're paying 210 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: under two percent. They're basically getting a free ride off 211 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: the United States. So I believe this is healthy. They 212 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: are treating it as an emergency. Because it is an emergency. 213 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: They're reading it the right way. If they've read it 214 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: any other way, I would think, Wow, we've got to 215 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: tell them again. We've been telling them now since the 216 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: very first month, when Teressa May came over with Boris Johnson. 217 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: We told those guys. We told. Right after that, we told, 218 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: we told Merkel and her team. I sat down with 219 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor and gave it to him with 220 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: both barrels. Look, dude, we're gonna be out. You guys 221 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: are gonna have to step up to the play here. 222 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: And this is well before the invasion that if they 223 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: thought the Russians were such a threat, they got to 224 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: kick up the spending. They're not going to draft off 225 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: of us. I think it's positive they're taking it as 226 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: an emergency and looking for emergency measures. 227 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 5: Ben Harnwell, Well, obviously it's someone who lives here in 228 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 5: the European Union. I don't want to see myself living 229 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: under martial law in military paid ship in order for 230 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 5: our crooked regimes across Content and Europe to fight an 231 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 5: enemy Vladimir Putin than they themselves, as some extent created 232 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 5: in manufacturing this war. 233 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: Going back to twenty fourteen. Thank you. 234 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: I only think I pay enough tax as it is, 235 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 5: I should pay less in tax. I don't want to 236 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 5: be paying more. And as I said on the show 237 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 5: in the morning, in the European stock markets, in London, 238 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 5: in Berlin, in Italy, the various national sectors of defense 239 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 5: have all had a bounce between like four five nine 240 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 5: percent in expectation that these that their arms industries are 241 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 5: going to start gearing up. I don't have a problem 242 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 5: paying in tax.

They are allying World War Two. 337 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: We broke them under the Bolsheviks in the Cold War. 338 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Not gonna over Ukraine. American soldiers, airmen, whatever name it, 339 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: are not going to go into Russia over Ukraine. Not 340 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: going to happen. Ukraine is for the Europeans or the 341 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: two Slavic entities. They are figured out. And now we 342 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: finally got the the Europeans' attention. That's why I think 343 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: it's very positive what's happening in Europe today. They finally 344 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: they didn't believe. It took a long time for them 345 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: to get their attention. They didn't believe President trumpet first 346 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: and one of the very first things were said that 347 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: NATO has got to stand on its own. We're an ally, 348 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: but they've they've devolved into a protectorate, a vassal state, 349 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: and they still rip us off with the tariffs. Remember 350 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: yesterday one of the German senior German guys said, hey, 351 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: you know what, we should go to zero tariffs. Yeah, hello, 352 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: thank you. We could dig that. This is what President 353 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Trump talks about, reciprocity. There's a whole new economic model, 354 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: in a national security model. And they should notice when 355 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: President Trump says hemispheric defense, he ain't kidding. From the 356 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: Panama Canal to the Arctic, with Greenland there to stand 357 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: watch over Russian submarines coming through the Greenland Iceland UK Gap. 358 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: That's what it's called, the gap between the Deep Fjord 359 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: basically between Greenland and Iceland Iceland kind of a volcano. 360 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: Put submarines right there, boom, you can track them, you 361 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: got them, or if the balloon goes up, it's a 362 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: shooting gallery. Just saying, but it means our defense and 363 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: they're not in the North Atlantic NATO. You worry about 364 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: the Russian Army. We got the Russian Navy, you know, 365 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: deal with it. We're there to help, but we're not 366 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: there to pay for the whole thing. That's what's gotten 367 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: their attention. Remember finally the German said, hey, a guy, 368 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: go to emergency message. We've got to change the constitution 369 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: to basically raise debt. Yeah, like the thirty sixth tree, 370 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: and we got from paying for dead beats like you 371 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: dead beats European elites. Julie Kelly, how was the How 372 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: was the hearing today? One of my favorite judges, if 373 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: not my favorite judge, was holding court. It takes a 374 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: lot to get a judge in a federal court to 375 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: open up on President's Day. They must have been hating this, ma'am. 376 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: What do you got Yeah, So this was. 377 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 8: Judge Tanya chuck in the Obama o'klint, who, of course 378 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 8: presided over Jack Smith adjacix indictment against the President that 379 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 8: was dismissed after he won. So she is now handling 380 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 8: the lawsuit filed by numerous Blue Democratic states Massachusetts, Michigan, California, 381 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 8: and a few others who are trying to prevent muscan 382 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 8: Doge from accessing data from seven agencies including Education, DHS, Energy, 383 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 8: et cetera, accessing that data and then using that of 384 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 8: course to advise or recommend UH employee cutbacks or program cutbacks. 385 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 8: So what these states are asking for Staves, like all 386 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 8: of these other lawsuits, is a temporary restraining order preventing 387 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 8: Elon Muskin does from accessing this data recommending the firing 388 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 8: of any government employees while she considers a preliminary injunction. Now, 389 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 8: Tanya chuck In, surprisingly, I would say, found it extremely 390 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 8: skeptical about the need for temporary restraining order, saying that 391 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 8: it is an extreme measure and that the defense the 392 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 8: plaintiff in this case is numerous Blue states really hadn't 393 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 8: demonstrated potential immediate or irreperable harm. That said, she could 394 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 8: deny the motion for a temporary restraining order, however, set 395 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 8: a schedule for preliminary injunction which would put this on 396 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 8: hold for who knows how long, but also seemed to 397 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 8: support the idea that Elon Musk's roles violates the appointments clause, which, ironically, 398 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 8: see that was what was the fatal blow in the 399 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 8: documents case in Florida wigated to Jack Smith that his 400 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 8: appointment violated the appointments clause, so anyway found it today? Again, 401 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 8: she may deny this temporary restraining order, however, set a 402 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 8: schedule for a preliminary injunction, and again consider the fact 403 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 8: that Elon Musk his role violates the appointment's clause, which 404 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 8: if she does that would set up a fight to 405 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 8: the Supreme Court, but could put Elon Musk's authority and 406 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 8: his task on hold for an unknown amount of time. 407 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, so, did she slowly think anything 408 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: down to day? Is there tier or injunction? Where does 409 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: she actually stay? Is all engines stop? Are she letting 410 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: work for seed? As this goes through and they get 411 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: ready for more detailed arguments in front of her. 412 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 8: Right so she right now is contemplating this temporary restraining order. 413 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 8: She said that she would file her order within the 414 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 8: next twenty four hours. To your point, she scheduled this 415 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 8: safety hearing on President's Day, federal holiday, when of course 416 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 8: they're usually shut down. Nonetheless, build this hearing remote hearing 417 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 8: where the public actually call in and listen to what 418 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 8: has been happening. So either tonight or by tomorrow morning, 419 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 8: she will issue her order whether she's going to grant 420 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 8: or deny this temporary restraining order. That again sounded like 421 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 8: she would consider preliminary injunction. And of course, Steve, this 422 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 8: is what's happening, and most of these these courts where 423 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 8: these judges are instantly issuing temporary restraining orders, contemplating a 424 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 8: preliminary in junctions, which of course would be a more 425 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 8: permanent solution at least says it makes his way its 426 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 8: way to the appellate Court and the Supreme Court. But 427 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 8: this is what these judges are pretty much unilaterally doing 428 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 8: in Washington, DC is exercising their judicial authority to thwart 429 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 8: the article to authority of the President in deciding his 430 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 8: team and deciding what federal agencies need to be pair backs, 431 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 8: either funding wise or employee wise. 432 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: Did you think that the administration of the President Trump's 433 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: team have a pretty compelling argument or that was just 434 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: didn't even get into that level of detail. 435 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 8: I mean, I think that they do, because what you 436 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 8: have to prove for a temporary restraining order. And again 437 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 8: and Judge Chuck and was very skeptical of the Blue 438 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 8: state's argument here is that this restraining order has to 439 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 8: be imposed to prevent a reparable and immediate harm. And 440 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 8: she said, well, I really don't see how this will 441 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 8: where the immediate irreparable harm is. And the state's lawyer 442 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 8: versus the age from New Mexico said well, worse states, 443 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 8: we rely on federal funding. We need to know if 444 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 8: certain people are going to be fired, if these programs 445 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 8: are going to be defunded, because it impacts our abilities 446 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 8: to execute our own services at the state level. So 447 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 8: she did seem skeptical, but seve she pushed back on 448 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 8: the bo j's lawyer, of course representing the Trump administration, 449 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 8: demanded to know how many people have been fired so far? 450 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 2: If there were, We're. 451 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: Going to take a short break. We'll be back in 452 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: a moment. Your Stephen k back. Philip Patrick's gonna be 453 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: with us a second.

There's a gap. The Hill newspaper today kind 456 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: of said what the secret was. Lindsey Graham is talking 457 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: to the president. Hey, we got to go two bills, 458 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: not one big beautiful bill, because we've got to get 459 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: the one hundred and seventy five billion dollars for the 460 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: wall and the deportations and a one hundred billion dollar 461 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: tip to the Pentagon. Let's round it up. It's three 462 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars of new spending over and above the 463 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: six and a half. I kid you not. And the 464 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: Hill newspaper it showed that you gotta get it in 465 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: before I'm a pick a magic date.

It's two train dollars 470 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: a deficit, and none of the dough stuff gets included 471 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: in there if you just do it that way.

Basically, they were hunting for that question, 487 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: including the judge from the bench, ma'am. 488 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 8: She was so she directly asked the PJA lawyer if 489 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 8: she'd read reports of mass firings left Side Day, who said, 490 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 8: I don't have confirmation on that, and she said, well, 491 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 8: I'm also reading reports of mass firings over the next 492 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 8: fourteen days. What can you tell me about that? And 493 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 8: he didn't have an answer. She got typically surly, as 494 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 8: Judge Chuckin is known to do, and said, well, I 495 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 8: want that information because why she wants it the ruses 496 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 8: to try to prove up this irreperable harm to the 497 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 8: states and then of course to the federal government. But 498 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 8: what I'm really going to flag here, see what's important 499 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 8: looking at hat besides this temporary streaming order are possible 500 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 8: preliminary injunction is Judge Tustin setting the stage to claim 501 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 8: to rule that Elon Musk will violate the appointments clost 502 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 8: That will sideline him, that will make get to the 503 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 8: Circuit Court and then the Supreme Court, but it will 504 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 8: do damage to him. With this idea that he should 505 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 8: have been Senate confirmed, she brought that up today. He 506 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 8: was not confirmed by Congress by Senate. He exercises tremendous authority. 507 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: But how does she But by the way, he's an 508 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: advisor the US Digital Service, and maybe they shouldn't have 509 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: done it that way, but they're there are things. They're 510 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: just advisors to Owen Bas he's a consultant's advisor. Correct, correct, But. 511 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 8: That's what she was pushing back on. She said at 512 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 8: least twice that the States the plaintiffs here had a 513 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 8: colorable plan, that Elon Musk was working outside of the 514 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 8: appointment clause, that as someone with this sort of authority, 515 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 8: he should have been nominated to a real position that 516 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 8: was created and confirmed by the Senate. That's the big 517 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 8: battle that Judge chuck Kin is teeing up today. The 518 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 8: temporary restraining order is just a minor issue. This is 519 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 8: the big battle that she's set in the stage four 520 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 8: my opinion. 521 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: Okay, Julie, where do people go? Your analysis is always 522 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: brilliant and spot on. Well, we'll put that. 523 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 8: Proceeding, especially headed to a Supreme Court on the firing 524 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 8: of the office of a Special Council. So I do 525 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 8: classify with you a Italian subsect. And then Acts July 526 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 8: underscore Kelly too. 527 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: Do we know if they've the Supreme Court on the 528 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: emergency docket? They have not. They have not notified the 529 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: government i e. Trump, that they're going to take this 530 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: case on yet. 531 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 8: Have they not yet? But this is related to a 532 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 8: split decision by the DC of Heel Court over the 533 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 8: weekend that the defensing opinion god Cassus the Trump appoint 534 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 8: c saying that Trump absolutely has the article to authority 535 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 8: to fire Hampton Dellinger at the Biden appointed Office of 536 00:31:54,280 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 8: Special Council, who also has tremendous power to bring Hatchack violations, investigations, 537 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 8: et cetera, and that the President was well within his 538 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 8: authority to fire him. On February seventh, Judge Any Bourbon 539 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 8: Jackson re stading Hampton Dellinger outrageously and this is what 540 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 8: looks like will be the first lawsuits to head to 541 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 8: the Supreme Court this week. 542 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Julie Kelly one more time, where do folks get you? 543 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 8: Substact declassified with Julie Kelly and also at acts Julie 544 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 8: underscore Kelly too. 545 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: Thank you man, Appreciate you, Julie Kelly. On top of 546 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: these okay battles in the court, battles in the streets, 547 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: Philip Patrick's gone, A number of reports are coming out 548 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: Philip Patrick and I wanted to go to the smartest 549 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: guy I know about precious metals in gold, and that 550 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: would be Philip Patrick of Birch Gold. So a couple 551 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: of things over the last seventy two hours that I 552 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: think have a lot of interest in our audience and 553 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: a lot of interest online. Number One, there's a situation 554 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: where the Bank of England and people think, hey, the 555 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: Bank of England's like the Fed, right maybe even more responsible. 556 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: The Bank of England has been late or failed to 557 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: deliver on some clearing of gold and there's questions of 558 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: do they actually have the gold they think they have? 559 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: Is there anything to this? Is this is this commitment 560 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: they've had to clear this within the bounds of the 561 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: time frame or does something happen here with the Bank 562 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: of England Philip Patrick. 563 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're working through it. It's certainly big news in 564 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 7: the industry. But the Bank of England right now is 565 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 7: under siege. The vaults aren't being emptied at a rapid pace. 566 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 7: About eight thousand bars now have been shipped and these 567 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 7: are the big commercial gold bullion bars. We're talking three 568 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 7: point two million ouncers. That's the equivalent of South Korea's 569 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 7: national gold reserves have now found a new home. The 570 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 7: media lapsed onto this because Deputy Governor of the Bank 571 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 7: of England, Dave Ramsden admitted that they wouldn't be able 572 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 7: to meet the fourteen day delivery requirement, which technically could 573 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 7: be considered now a default. The lawyers, i think will 574 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 7: work through and settle that question. At the moment, London 575 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 7: saying they need six to eight weeks to make a 576 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 7: two week delivery. So currently this is being described as 577 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 7: a liquidity crisis rather than a solvency crisis. But on 578 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 7: the other hand, the Bank of England has been begging 579 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 7: nations whose gold reserve that they custody to loan their 580 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 7: goal to the Bank of England, and that's obviously concerning. 581 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 7: In the current climate. It seems like when a liquidity 582 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 7: crisis becomes a solvency crisis, we only discover the truth 583 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 7: too late. So right now it is a technical default, 584 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 7: not a solvency issue. But we're going to have to 585 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 7: watch and see how this thing unfolds. 586 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: Hecker for a second hangar, a second liquidity crisis is 587 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: are pretty bad when it comes what is actually delivery? 588 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: What is this transaction about? And when's the last time, bro, 589 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: you're a professional of this, When was the last time 590 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: the Bank of England couldn't deliver and had, oh well, 591 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: we'll get to you in six to eight weeks. That's 592 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: a lot longer fourteen days, brother, what was actually this 593 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: delivery on? And when Philip Patrick starts off, Yeah, the 594 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: vaults of the Bank of England are empty, eing even 595 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: as we're speaking. Probably got the audience more worked out 596 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: now than when we started. So want me back through 597 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: that one more time. I take it this interview is 598 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: going to take longer. I thought, start the beginning, take 599 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 1: your time and walk through this. 600 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 7: So look, when we talk about physical delivery, you're talking 601 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 7: about physical delivery of a commodities contract. To two percent 602 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 7: of contracts usually request physical delivery. But what we're seeing 603 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 7: at the moment generally is gold is flooding out of 604 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 7: London and this was the center of the world's gold market. 605 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 7: There's a number of reasons why, right. First of all, 606 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 7: sort of the overarching theme is just massively increasing demand 607 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 7: and you and I have discussed this. It's being driven 608 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 7: by central banks and investors alike. Secondly, there's an arbitrage 609 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 7: play here and this is ultimately how markets respond to 610 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 7: price this locations. Right now, the gold futures price in 611 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 7: New York is high enough over the London cash price 612 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 7: that it is possible to rent a cargo plane fill 613 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 7: it with gold and ship it to the US Commodities Exchange. 614 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 7: This difference has always existed, but it's almost never profitable 615 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 7: enough to warrant shipping. Today. It is because US demand 616 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,399 Speaker 7: is higher for precious metals, for gold specifically than anywhere else. Right, 617 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 7: a bar of gold is worth more here in the 618 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 7: US today than a bar of gold everywhere anywhere else, 619 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 7: making the trade profitable. On top of that, of course, 620 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 7: we've got the potential of tariffs driving up commodity prices 621 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 7: on all imports. There's massive pressure right now to onshore 622 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 7: product in anticipation of further demand surgers. Look at JP Morgan. 623 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 7: They just shipped three million ounces of gold bullion from 624 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 7: the London bullion market to the US. That's the second 625 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 7: largest gold bullyon delivery in history. What this tells me, though, 626 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 7: I think it's a reminder the gold is almost uniquely 627 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 7: a physical asset first and foremost, not just a financial asset. 628 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 7: We have to remember a lot of the trading we 629 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 7: see in the gold markets is imaginary, right, It's simply 630 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 7: made up for some numbers. In London, there's twenty million 631 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 7: ounces of gold that are traded every day. That's roughly 632 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 7: an entire years of production traded every week. We see 633 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 7: another twenty seven million ounces trading every day on the comics. 634 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 7: That's the entire world's production of newly mined gold traded 635 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 7: every two and a half days. Spoiler alert, There isn't 636 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 7: that much gold out there. So as a result, ninety 637 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 7: six percent of the gold traded daily in London and 638 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 7: New York markets has no physical reality. You could think 639 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 7: of it as schroding as cap right, But the problem is, 640 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 7: once the four percent of real gold has been delivered, 641 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 7: what's going to happen there? 642 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: Right? 643 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 7: At that point, it's a logistical nightmare. First of all, 644 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 7: I think investors who think they own gold are going 645 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 7: to discover that what they really own is an iou. Secondly, 646 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 7: I think we see a wave of defaults on physical 647 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 7: gold deliveries. Remember ninety six percent of them are by 648 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 7: definition impossible. And thirdly, I think those dynamics will amplify 649 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 7: demand for physical gold because investors will realize and be 650 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 7: reminded that only physical tangible gold matters it all. Roads 651 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 7: reminds me of the bank failures back in twenty twenty three. Right, 652 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 7: If I have a dollar in my pocket, it's really 653 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 7: a dollar. If it's in the bank, is it really 654 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,479 Speaker 7: a dollar? Right? We already know that if everyone tries 655 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 7: to get their money out of the bank tomorrow, the 656 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 7: banking system will collapse, right Because banks don't have it, 657 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 7: they lent it to commercial real estate developers. And that's 658 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 7: what the gold market is feeling like right now. Gold 659 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 7: as a financial asset only really works as long as 660 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 7: everyone agrees they don't really want gold, right, they want 661 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 7: to speculate on its price moves. The moment people start 662 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 7: demanding physical gold deliveries on their commodity contracts, the market 663 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 7: falls apart. And I think we're starting to see the 664 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 7: beginnings of that right now. So in summer, if you 665 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 7: can't hold it in your hand, it isn't real. And 666 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 7: we're starting to feel the effects of that. 667 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: The bank, the phrase Bank of England should never be 668 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: the sentence should never end with liquidity crisis. I've got 669 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: a minute. I want to hold you over. How did 670 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: that happen? It shouldn't happen. 671 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 7: And it's a reflection of volatility around the globe. It's 672 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 7: a reflection of leverage going out of control, and we're 673 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 7: starting to feel the effective end. We have problems here 674 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 7: in the US as well. You sent me an article 675 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 7: about Elon pushing for an order of Fort Knox. We 676 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 7: got questions on on on US gold reserves as well. 677 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 7: So there's a lot at play in the current climate. 678 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 7: There's no question about it. But it's an interesting time 679 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 7: to be alive. 680 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: I know, I know you're busy, but I do want 681 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: to hold you just through the short break because I 682 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: want to talk about decided and how people can count. 683 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: I think, Philip, I think a couple of three people 684 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: might want to talk to the Birch. Call guys. I'm 685 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: just guessing. Okay, the Bank of England can't make good 686 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 1: under deliveries. I don't know. Get Philip Patrick on the phone. 687 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: Let's talk to the guys at Birch Goll short commercial break. 688 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: Philip Patrick on the other side. 689 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 4: We will fight to the rock God. 690 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 7: We will joice for the molistic. 691 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: Excuse your host Stephen came back. Okay, I know you 692 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: get a bounce, Philip. You guys at Birch. One of 693 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: the reasons I like you. You guys just deal in 694 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: physical delivery, right, You deal in people owning the goal itself. 695 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 7: That's all we deal with. Physical pressures, medals, they don't 696 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 7: sit on balance sheet, no counterparty risk. The individual owns them. 697 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,240 Speaker 7: It's important for us absolutely. 698 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: Do the audit. Give me a minute on the audit 699 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: on Fort Knox. But the Ryan Paul and Rampop been 700 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: bugging on this forever. Why do you want to see it? 701 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: And what do you hope is the outcome for. 702 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 7: A long time. I mean, we need some transparency. Fort 703 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 7: Knox hasn't been audited for fifty years, basically. The last 704 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 7: audit was in nineteen seventy four, primarily because the US 705 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 7: government is refusing external audits on the grounds of national security. 706 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 7: And this is the part that concerns me. Right, they 707 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 7: say that, you know, goal reserves are seen as a 708 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 7: symbol of national credit and a public order. They fear 709 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 7: could trigger a crisis of trust. So here's the strange 710 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 7: thing in my mind, Right, how can an audit create 711 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 7: uncertainty unless it discovers discrepancies? 712 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 4: Right? 713 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 7: The whole point of an audit is simply to examine 714 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 7: financial records and to create certainty. Right. So this is 715 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 7: reminding me of the situation with the Bank of England. 716 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 7: If the goal's really there, why can't you ship it? 717 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 7: Why can't we see it? Right, Why does anyone resist 718 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 7: an audit if there's nothing to hide? That for me 719 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 7: conceptually is just difficult to get my head around. But 720 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 7: I want to see it, right. I want to confirm 721 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 7: that the US gold reserves are unincumbered, that they haven't 722 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 7: been leased or sold to foreign nations or stored on 723 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 7: their behalf. But like I say, the fact that they've 724 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 7: been resisting an audit for decades here in the United 725 00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 7: States is in on itself very concerning despite public call 726 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 7: for one. So you know, this is just another move 727 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 7: for transparency and it must can pull it off. Like 728 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 7: I said, I'd be very interested to see the results. 729 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: Help me out here. Isn't there supposed to be seven 730 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty b almost a trillion dollars of implied 731 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: value that it's on the books at forty two dollars 732 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: an ounce and actually today marked to market is twenty 733 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: nine over twenty nine one hundred dollars? Is that? Is 734 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: that not an issue with the audit? But that's reality, right, 735 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,879 Speaker 1: it's on the books at forty two to forty nine 736 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: dollars and it's actually the marked to market's twenty nine, 737 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: So we have almost a trillion dollars of intrinsic value 738 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: in there, sir. 739 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's exactly correct. Forty two to twenty two announces 740 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 7: the book price, which gives about eight hundred billion, but 741 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 7: at current prices over a trillion dollars, So that is 742 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 7: based on published gold reserves. Well, we'll have to see 743 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 7: the reality if Elon can get an audit, but yeah, 744 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 7: that's absolutely correct. 745 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: Yes, last thing, the gold ship to real quickly. I 746 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: know you get a bounced the gold. There was a 747 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: huge shipment from New York, from London to New York. 748 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: Was that the arbitrage you're talking about? Is that normal 749 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: course of business that people just sensitive to it? 750 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 2: Now? 751 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: What happened there? 752 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 7: It's a combination. So it's partly arbitrage they see a 753 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 7: profitable arbitrage in there, and it's partly demand as well. Right, 754 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 7: Like I said, they need to get gold to meet 755 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 7: domestic demand in the United States and they need to 756 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 7: do it before tariffs kick in. So I think they're 757 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 7: expecting a spike in demand and we're fulfilling so right now, 758 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 7: like I said, it looks like a logistics issue for 759 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 7: the Bank of England. But you know, reaching out to 760 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 7: foreign nations asking to lend gold reserves. That's a little 761 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 7: bit concerning. So I think we'll have more clanity good 762 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 7: ones we head through never good, but we'll see how 763 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 7: it shack. 764 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: I want people to come and talk to the experts. 765 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: I want people talk to you and your team where 766 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: they go. 767 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 7: Very simple, Burt's goold dot com forward slash Spannon. That'll 768 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,240 Speaker 7: get them access to free information. If there was ever 769 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 7: a time to immerse yourself, not to steal your words, 770 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 7: Steve in information, now's the time from an economic standpoint, 771 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 7: So Burt's gold, dot com forward slash Spannon or Bannon 772 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 7: tech spanning to nine eight nine nine eight.

Sean Rolins joins us doctor 783 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: Sean talking about tariffs. I want to have you on here, 784 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, Rosemary Gibson drop out of the other day 785 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: day we talked about the supply chains hasn't changed much. 786 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: They head this factory in Richmond really hasn't open. Everybody's 787 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: concerned about the terror war that's coming. CCPs making initial moves. 788 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,919 Speaker 1: Jase Medical, You guys can conceive this after you read 789 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: the book and saw her on the show on active 790 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical ingredients and generic drugs. How can you help people 791 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: calm people down and say, hey, we're here for you 792 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: and we can get you beyond the threats of the 793 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party? Sir, Yeah, thanks, Steve. 794 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 6: You know, uh, this talk of tariffs when when when 795 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 6: we first heard about it, we figured that, you know, 796 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 6: typically pharmaceuticals are are exempt and traditionally have been exempt 797 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,400 Speaker 6: from these these kinds of things. But what we're hearing 798 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 6: now is that that doesn't look like that will be 799 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 6: the case. Uh, that these tariffs may may very well 800 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 6: uh include pharmaceuticals. And we're starting to see more articles 801 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 6: written about this. It's I guess in some ways it's heartening. 802 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 6: It's it's heartening for me to see that this is 803 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 6: being brought to people's awareness. The fact that why does 804 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 6: it matter if there's terraffs. Well, it matters because all 805 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 6: of our medications, virtually one hundred percent of them come 806 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 6: from overseas, and most of those come from China. So 807 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 6: we're seeing this education is starting to pick up. People 808 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 6: are starting to realize, and you know, I suppose that 809 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 6: we may even see something similar to what we're seeing 810 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 6: in the gold industry, where you know, people are becoming 811 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 6: more aware, hyper aware of what's going on and wanting 812 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 6: to have these things on hand. I don't it wouldn't 813 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 6: surprise me if we start to see health systems, whether 814 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 6: that's hospitals, large pharmacies, seeing some of the stuff coming 815 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 6: down the pipe, whether it's tariffs, whether it's just simple 816 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 6: supply chain disruption as tensions are heating up between US 817 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 6: and China, that people start to hold larger stockpiles of 818 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 6: these medications, further exacerbating the problem. And this is all 819 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 6: information that we've been really out there trying to get 820 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 6: people to realize for years now. 821 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: And I think this simmering pot. 822 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 6: I don't know how much longer it will simmer before 823 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 6: it starts to boil over. So we're here, We're still here, uh, 824 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 6: trying to get people access to these medications to do 825 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 6: it in a way that they can get. 826 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: Doctor Sean, Yeah, hang on, I want you, I want 827 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 1: to stick I want you to stick around the first 828 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: of the hour, because these things are real.
