See, for years, JP Morgan was the bad guy in the metals market.
Most of my adult life, the entire time I've been trading silver,
they were always the bad guy. They're not the third leg of that chain anymore.
If that triangle trade is broken down, otherwise we'd still be $24 an ounce silver,
$2,000 an ounce gold. When the price moves against you and you're caught short,
and you're sitting on contracts that you wrote six months ago,
So, no, the United States has decided they want gold and silver repriced as collateral,
and they want pricing leverage over that collateral,
and therefore they're cutting London out of the market.
These are big changes.
They and the Chinese finally said, that's enough.
Well, then who's pulling the strings behind the scenes?
Is it Davos? Is it the city of London?
It's always London.
Good evening.
on Friday.
market why the hell is the gold and silver markets just freaking out right now um you expect um silver
to go up 400 in six months and then not to there not to be volatility I mean I'm just I'm just like
throwing it out there to everybody who's like oh my god oh my god oh my god everybody's got a theory
and Vince launching let everybody know that JP Morgan was was holding the market back for three
saying, look, guys, they refuse to let any of their exchange metal go from eligible to registered,
yeah, from eligible to registered, and therefore there's no COMEX good for delivery bars.
It wasn't that difficult.
Most of the guys in the space who know what they're talking about, and there are only four or five of them,
most of the people talking about gold and silver don't even understand how the goddamn market works.
but they like to talk because you know it's a good business you know to talk on social media
anymore um and i'm gonna this is a theme today i'm just like i'm in high dungeon like you you
got me started like on stream yard like i can't believe we're doing this fucking shit on stream
yard but that's you know just like say just say no to microsoft wherever you can unless you have
unless you happen to be a gamer um not that you know like if you're gonna use zoom it's chinese
malware they're already scraping our fucking data anyway so what the what the hell at least have a
decent picture it's a decent sound but that's neither here nor there um same thing with gold
and silver like at the end of the day um jim sinclair told us 20 years ago the people who are
going to make the most money in the gold and silver bull runs are going to be the very people
who you hate get used to it the market makers the banks the bullion banks everybody else they're the
ones are going to make all the money. You're going to make some money along the way if you're smart
and you leave 20% in the top and bottom for the God agreed. Meaning wherever they move the price to
on the downside or the upside, you're never going to see the bottom and you're never going to get
the top because you don't have access to that. So the other day, perfect example, right? Friday
morning or whatever. Yeah. Last Friday morning, wake up, colds at $5,500 an ounce. It's trading
there for a little bit. Maybe if you're trading futures, you might've been able to like slip in
there and get a contract cleared at that price or not. I don't know. I don't play those markets
because I know better. And I know myself to be, well, you guys have seen me do a podcast or two,
you know how volatile I can be. That's not a good mindset for being an options or a futures trader.
So therefore I don't do it for a living. No, I'm much more comfortable behind the microphone
than behind the trading screen. So, but you might be able to get that, but the reality is you probably
we got 52, 52.50, you know,
because those things were all happening.
All those trades were happening while New York was closed.
So unless you're trading in the London market or you're trading in the
Shanghai market or you're, you know, you're trading in Tokyo or whatever,
like how are you, how do you think you're going to get that price?
The people who were trying to turn in their, their physical silver,
they had the problem, the, the, the,
the problem of the market had moved so far so fast that the refiners were
tapped out. The bolt, the, the banks were tapped out.
in terms of credit in order to buy more silver.
So there was plenty of supply for silver to be brought into the market
to go to be refined and moved.
The problem was, of course, that there weren't enough 1,000-ounce
good-free LBMA and Comex bars to deliver into the contract.
Now, I was thinking about this when it was happening.
I was doing shows on Thursday and Friday of last week,
and I said, yeah, I wonder why that is.
Do you think maybe the banks said no more credit to the dealers and the refiners?
Do you think they also turned around and that London didn't tell the refiners to stop delivering, to stop refining metal?
Why would they do that?
Well, because they knew at some point that the emotional roller coaster would hit its peak and then it would correct.
And they never wanted to deliver into the peak.
like let's let's remind ourselves about that if you're if you're the lbma if you're in london if
you're constantly manipulating the price of silver especially silver down as low as possible keep it
in the teens for years so that we're like doing stupid shit with it like building solar panels
okay then you um you're going to when the price moves against you and you're caught short and
you're sitting on contracts that you wrote forward six months ago at $35 strike price,
$30 strike price, do you really want to pay out at $120? If the metal shows up,
then you have to deliver it. But if the metal doesn't show up and you can break the market
on the last trading day of the month, which is what they did before the delivery period,
then you can only have to deliver an $85 an ounce or $80 an ounce or $78 an ounce, whatever it is.
And so remember the old adage that these terrible people never want to go for discovery in a lawsuit.
You know, when they're sued, you know, you got a bank and the banks got caught doing something terrible
or, you know, Prince Andrew got caught doing something terrible or whatever.
It doesn't matter what it is.
What always happens?
The lawsuit gets filed.
they start the wrangle between the lawyers and then the minute the thing looks like it's going
to go to discovery because they're actually going to go to the lawsuit they set a lot of court all
all of a sudden like elon musk did this game when he went to buy twitter they they screwed around
they put them over on on price and and valuation for six months and he finally said you know what
fine let's just go let's just go to court the minute they went the minute he finally said no
we're going to court that was on tuesday by friday he was walking into twitter with the kitchen sink
having bought the company for at their fictitious valuation.
He's just stopped fighting it.
It's the same thing here.
They don't want to deliver silver at $120 an ounce, right?
Because if they do, then they have to mark their losses to market.
Then they have to mark that contract they wrote at $35 an ounce.
They have to write an $85 loss per contract.
Start doing the math at 1,000 ounces times 85 bucks.
That's $850,000 a contract.
You write 500 contracts like that.
That's real money.
That's not notional value of derivatives, blah, blah.
Notional becomes net, boom, you owe me $85 million or $350 million.
And you got to come up with that cash immediately.
And you got to come up, or you got to come up with the silver.
Right?
You got to come up with, you know, 5 million ounces of silver, which you don't have.
And you got to book the $85 million.
And you got to book the loss on top of it.
You got to deliver the silver and book the loss.
crashed the price into the 70s or 80s.
And the people who went long at 75 bucks
are stopped out flat on higher margin requirements
and everything else.
They're stopped out and they just,
they set a lot of loss.
Those contracts write themselves off.
And eventually, you can really,
you can do a lot of,
they can do a lot to limit the damage.
So they only have to deliver a third of that metal
into the market at half the amount of losses or whatever.
And that's what they were doing.
But J.P. Morgan was on the long side of the trade,
restricting the supply of good for delivery bars,
going, we have you.
And that's to every silver stacker's advantage.
See, for years, J.P. Morgan was the bad guy
in the metals market.
Most of my adult life,
the entire time I've been trading silver
or buying silver and putting it on the sidelines
or whatever.
and commenting on it.
This goes back for me,
it goes back to 2002, right?
2002, 2001, 2002
is when I first started stacking silver.
They were always the bad guy.
Sure, they were the market maker.
They were the bullion bank.
They were going to make money
on both sides of the trade,
yada, yada, yada.
They were helping to run the triangle trade
between the SLV, GLD,
the COMEX and the LVMA,
the paper game,
all of that stuff.
But they're not on,
they're not the third leg
of that chain anymore.
That triangle trade is broken down.
Otherwise, we'd still be a $24 ounce silver, $2,000 an ounce gold.
No, the United States has decided they want gold and silver repriced as collateral,
and they want pricing leverage over that collateral.
And therefore, they're cutting London out of the market.
They and the Chinese have finally said, that's enough.
We're the 21st century industrial powers.
You're the 19th century industrial powers.
You don't get to tell us what the price of silver and gold is.
You don't get to tell us what the price of our dollar is.
you don't get to tell us what the price of our collateral is and what the and see because once
you reprice gold and silver at five six six thousand seven thousand eight thousand dollar
an ounce gold to 100 200 300 ounce silver an ounce silver all of a sudden the u.s's balance
sheet doesn't look so bad when it's got 8133.5 tons of gold sitting on the fed's balance sheet
whereas the bank of england has zero all it has is a whole bunch of treasuries which it's been
trying to use as blackmail to get us to continue to be their dumb frigging, their dumb muscle,
like Rambo without a jockstrap going around the world and stomping all the fucking brown people
into the dirt. Those days are over, fucked heads. Sorry, Limeys. We're not playing that game
anymore. We're the US. We're the exceptional nation. Us and China are saying that's enough.
We want pricing leverage, control over all of the industrial metals, all of the physical
collateral that undergirds the debt as well as the industrial inputs that drive our economies
because you guys can't even build a ship anymore you used to be the world's biggest naval power
you guys can't even feel the friggin tugboat like you gotta buy fishing boats off of the french what
the fuck's wrong with you or whatever the hell i mean i'm making that i'm making that last part up
but you know just like what would be the most what would be the most insulting thing for a british
fishermen to have to do. Buy a fishing boat from the French. What if I told you you never had to

but you said something while drinking while drinking a belgian white as opposed to a brown
a a newcastle brown ale or whatever you know an english brown ale yeah exactly maybe drinking
coffee instead of tea or something like that or going to the orthodontist i don't know man
something something crazy eating meat that isn't a week old or you know like uh
exactly but uh you said something interesting there about the uh beans for breakfast what
the fuck's wrong with you okay i'm sorry go ahead you said something about the timing there which is
interesting do you think this is all coordinated to be specifically around the end of this month
and you know what role did did davos potentially play in this because davos was just a couple
weeks ago as well um davos was doesn't mean the world economic forum davos not davos the
the group right so the people versus the the thing um trump's performance at davos and his
his whole crew was masterful because they basically walked in and said um yeah we do have the biggest
dick on these are our balls and they're made out of solid gold and there they are on the table
not only did they do that because that you know and then any the site of of manly anything that's
what's that's what actually spooked christina lagarde that's why she had to run because you
know her little adam's apple went a quiver and then she had to run um yeah i said that out loud
um sorry i've been making that joke for years um so not that i actually think she's a tranny but
god damn she acts like it sometimes so um you know unlike man yeah man man rollercrone's
husband wife father whatever um so the the point being is that he went to davos
told them all that globalism failed started you know educating them on the alexander system
Alexander Hamilton's system of, as my friend Susan Gokindal likes to put it, a political economy and the third way between the false dyad of finance capitalism versus communism, which is the only thing we're allowed to actually talk about on the three by five index card of political discussion, as Tom Woods used to describe it.
And he's right. That's where we are. And that's where we're moving to. And they don't like that at all.
So if you're going to make that pronouncement, right, if you're going to state categorically that Europe has no financial tools with which to hurt the United States, and both Besant and Trump said this, well, then you take your bullion banks and you run a squeeze play on the baked beans that pass for nuts for Keir Starmer and you put them in a vice.
and you keep squeezing that vice until they finally cry uncle or until someone's made enough money
that we can let the pressure off let the markets reset a little bit we're trading this morning
4 900 gold 88 silver um may throw a one bar daily reversal on the on the gold chart today and if we
did that wow i'm i'm honestly i think that last week was probably a nice big emotional high for
with a quarter for the first half of the year.
I mean, that would be my, that would be my odds on bet.
You know, if I had to like place a probability on it,
say we're probably 75% hit a nice big emotional high at $5,500 an ounce.
Then we'll just kind of, you know,
consolidate a lot of these gains in the first half of this year.
And then we'll decide what we're going to do next.
But I say that knowing full well that, you know,
walking in with the big
golden balls and the
tray full of bags of flaming poop
while he had Stephen Miller like, you know,
yell a pole and he's blowing it up all over
Davos for an hour and a half.
During that
speech, I'm like,
things could accelerate from here
because they're running out
of time to stop
Trump from remaking America.
And everybody out there screaming that Trump is not doing
enough needs to get their fucking
head examined. And he's accelerating the pace on all of the domestic issues, while at the same time
they're accelerating the pace on turning, on trying to, you know, run a civil war operation
against the U.S. in places like Minneapolis and Washington, Seattle and L.A. and everywhere else.
And he's sending Customs and Border Patrol to the DNI and the FBI everywhere to uncover the voting fraud, to put pressure on Thune to pass the SAVE Act.
If the SAVE Act passes, the Democrats know they're done.
Half the rhinos in Congress know that their careers are over.
This is why they won't pass it.
They've been told flat out don't pass this because then the Democrats can't steal 50 House seats in the fall.
when they can't steal five Senate seats, right?
So, you know, this is for all the marbles.
So in that scenario,
Six Sigma events become One Sigma events.
And they may happen every other week.
And, you know, as analysts,
we never want to like go out there and say,
oh my God, the world's going to,
I've gotten to the point now
where I can't like do that anymore.
That whole, you know,
this is the end of the world
them you know to sell clicks and everything else i'm not playing that game i won't i won't play that
game i won't sit there and say oh the end of the dollar is six months out or blah blah and all this
fucking rotten or shit like it's possible that the whole thing blows up in the next six months
is it probable do cooler heads prevail do we go to violence in the united states is that violence
snuffed out immediately is it headed off at the pass i mean a lot of the violence in minnesota
was headed off in the past. So the potential violence. So I don't know, you know, no one knows.
And so I always just say, beware of any analysts like, or any commentator, like selling you on
some huge thing that's going to happen. Not because I don't believe that those huge things
can't happen, but because there's too many variables for any of us to properly assess as
to which one is going to be dominant because everybody gets a vote as to how these moves are going to play out I mean you can script it out like you know I use that like what I normally do I use that board the stupid board game analogy
Well, if you go there, then I go there.
And if you go there, then I go there.
And, you know, the question is, you know,
somebody always half a step ahead of you.
You know, I've played many a game
where I've been half a step behind the leader
and I can see it the entire time.
And, you know, I don't know if Trump
is half a step ahead or half a step behind.
i'd like to believe these half step ahead right i mean i don't know about you but i don't want to
live in a well i don't want to live in a fucking world where davos wins this thing right do you
because i don't give a shit where you live in you're not going to be unaffected by it you know
fucking off to south america or or you know equatorial africa or wherever it is you think
you're safe from because you expatted and you got your money saved and you got your bitcoin on a
treasurer. I got news for you, folks. This shit goes bad, and it's going to be how many guns do
you own? Are you living in a jurisdiction where you can secure canned sardines and toilet paper?
Because that's the scenario that's ahead of us. They're going to enforce the breakdown of society
on us to the point where they do make the Georgia Guidestones real, and they do break us down to
half a billion or a billion people. I got news for you. Global economy does not operate at a
billion people period just does not not at the current standard of living and so you know the
only good thing that came out of all those freaking marvel movies is that thanos rides with davos
and then they have the exact same plan except of course you know the marvel movies were so
ideologically compromised that they thought you know they tried to make you feel like thanos you
know had deserved some sympathy with his worldview his worldview shit
well i mean i'm curious because i've heard i've heard you say in previous podcasts that you think
that you know 2026 could be the potential of a civil war here in the u.s um what what uh has that
opinion changed within the past uh 30 days or so and uh i guess let's dive into to why that that
might break out here. Last bull run, we had exchanges blow up. You saw FTX, Celsius, BlockFi,
you name it. But the true power of Bitcoin is getting it off an exchange into cold storage.
This bull run, I'm trusting Trezor, the company that's been around for over a decade,
and they just had a brand new release of the best hardware wallet in the game,
the Trezor Safe7. It's got the first audible secure element. No other hardware wallet has this.
On top of it, I travel a lot, so I need an easy way to connect my Bitcoin hardware wallet to my
laptop, phone, what have you. Therefore, it is the easiest way and has the best connectivity to
access your Bitcoin. This is truly how you become your own bank. And the best way to do that is with
Trezor Save 7. So you can go to the affiliate link down below and get yourself one right now
and do it quickly because they are flying off the shelves, folks. So do it with the easiest and best
way to get your Bitcoin off exchanges. So go to the affiliate link down below, get yourself a
Trezor Save 7 and get your Bitcoin off exchanges in the easiest way possible. All right, enough from
me. Let's get back to the show. Okay. I mean, look, they're clearly running out of moves on
the board. We're at $5,000 an ounce gold. All the countries that have some stacking gold
are watching their balance sheets improve, right? What if it said for a long time that eventually,
you know, for years within the alternative currency space, when the gold and silver space,
when the Bitcoin's faves.
So the Fed's evil.
The Fed is sitting on the price of gold
in order to,
because they want to make the dollar look good
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
And three years ago,
I kept saying to everybody,
what's going to bake your noodle
is the day that the Fed starts,
you know,
not sitting on the gold price
because they need to have the collateral,
the hard assets on their balance sheet
rise in value
in order to offset the size of their balance sheet.
And everybody's, you know,
you're crazy.
You're a lunatic.
You're a Fed apologist.
you're a russian shill you're the zionist you're part of the seven thousand dollar club blah blah
blah whatever i don't again i don't care i just be right right so because incentives are incentives
at the end of the day banks have to shore both the liabilities and the assets on their balance
sheets at the end of the day the fed is just an organization like anything else trying to survive
right i'm not saying that the fed doesn't need to be reformed or anything like that i've never
said any of that stuff just like looking at the game board from the fed's perspective
so you know that was one aspect of it the other aspect of it is what happens when you get a
sovereign just you know you got a bunch of sovereign just in charge of the of the u.s
treasury and and the and the and the executive branch what happens then what does that look like
well we're a year out for nine months out since the tariff tantrum where you know we're staring at
Truflation under 1%, we're staring at $64 a barrel, $65 a barrel Brent crude, you know, gasoline futures under $1.90, right?
I mean, where are we going?
You know, and housing and a rotation in housing prices in overpriced markets is starting to come down.
And those markets are starting to come down overall.
So, I mean, at the end of the day, like everybody was wrong about what was going to happen next.
So now let's take that off.
Let's now let's talk about that.
Why were the conditions before that, you know, that got Trump elected in November of 2024?
It was clearly an operation to make the United States as expensive as possible in order to price Americans out of their own economy and their own livelihood by giving all their friggin tax money to fucking illegals.
which is what they did.
They gave, you know, $2 trillion a year in frigging taxes
to a bunch of fucking IQ65 Somalis
who then laundered the money and handed it off all the NGOs
who then had the goddamn nerve to stand there and go,
well, you know, you have to pay us a trillion dollars a year
in frigging interest payments and all this debt.
And everybody's like, the fiscal numbers are so bad.
It can't get any better.
Like, okay.
then if you want it that way guys then why do you think there's not going to be violence on
one side or the other here because i got news for you ain't no way that 250 million or 300
million real americans with more guns than the rest of the world combined
are not going to get violent when you decide you want to destroy our country
got news for you we you know but that's what but that's what london wants they want us to go to
war with the illegals and start shooting when everybody starts shooting each other so they've
been running guns and illegals and in terror cells and everything else into the united states
getting set up for all this stuff while they radicalize you know awful to run around and
you know work out their psychosexual tension with fucking ice agents
like i hate to i hate you know i hate to be rude or anything but oh no i shouldn't say this one
i won't say that no that that's beyond the pale even for me i'll say it privately um
so uh yeah i i found my limit my limit is that joke um
what you know so what stavos's plan has always been to do this so they're gonna try it
so they've got these kids running around setting up the new versions of the chas and
in minneapolis they're they've got traders within law enforcement and within the minnesota
government, you know, tracking the license plate numbers of, of ICE vehicles and running
around doing, I mean, like this is all, this is all literal civil war insurrectionist behavior.
They're doing it and they're not just doing it in Minnesota. They're doing it all over
the fucking country. Like it's already here. The civil war is already happening. It's like
World War III. World War III's been going on since
2014.
Since the
day the Russians and
since the day Crimea voted to leave
or hell, World War
III started at the Maidan with the overthrow
of Yanukovych.
It's just been one
domino topple, one
you know, one series of event after
another, after another, after another.
Like, I'll be honest with you, our
Archduke Ferdinand moment for World War III was the overthrow in the Ukraine.
Because that meant eventually we were going to get the uprising of the Donbass
and Crimea was going to break away and then this was going to happen.
The Russians were going to move into Syria in 2015 and then here we are today.
Brexit, this, that, all of these things.
It's all part of the same continuum.
so you know the question now is has the trump administration fortified the
fortified the air the aspects of the government that they have under their control to the point
where it can effectively bleed off all of this nascent insurrection revolutionary energy that's
been built up. Like the Russians have done a masterful job in their own very Russian way
of just crushing the Ukrainian army that was built to destroy them.
Right? The Ukrainian army was built to destroy Russia.
The Russians have done what they always do. Russian military doctrine.
Over and over and over again. Right? So, because they don't know how to do anything else,
these people. They don't understand maneuver warfare they never have. But they have to
destroy the Ukrainian military, and they've got to destroy an entire two generations of Ukrainians
to never, ever, ever, ever, ever think again about subjugating ethnic Russians in what is today
Eastern Ukraine, known as the Donbass, which is primarily Russian-speaking. And that's the way
they're fighting this war today. And the same thing has to happen here in the U.S.
We're going to have to
crush an entire segment of the population in the United States to never think about
doing what they've been doing ever again. And that's the sad reality of this,
because these people are so radicalized.
They're so insane.
But that's okay.
This is what World War III is going to look like.
It's going to be a series of small encounters like this
while a bunch of ugly people,
ugly, evil pedophiles and, you know,
baby bloods drinking elites and royals and everything else,
you know, try and gin up another war.
But it only works if you can bamboozle the other civilizations into thinking that the other civilizations want to knock you out.
And that they're all on board with wiping the board clean and starting from scratch.
Clearly, Xi, Trump, and Putin do not want to do that.
Clearly.
And so everything else is just downstream of that.
so that's where I am and civil war man we're going to see bits and pieces of it hopefully
it won't get really really bad but you know I don't know about you probably I don't know about
you but I've been buying guns I've been you know dusting them all off and getting this rifle sighted
in and buying ammo and you know because I got plenty of food now it's just a matter of you know
now I need to you know some new guns well then who's who's pulling the strings behind the scenes
Is it Davos? Is it the city of London?
It's always London.
Now, London is another way of saying Davos.
It's the old European banking interests, the old European elites,
the ones who started the wars in the 1860s and 1810s,
and the ones previous to that.
It's the same fucking people.
It's the same people who want to enslave humanity
through debt and colonization produce nothing take everything that's who it is it's that group of
people and they you know and and what they do is they take the upper class and they set it against
the lower class when the truth is is that it's the middle class that stops all the wars because
because the middle class is what produces wealth which is you know but you know we still we're all
still taught that, you know, we're all too, we're all bougie because we want real cheese.
Like, fuck off. Like, I don't know. I don't want industrial cheese and it's not bougie to ask for
a guy. It's not, I'm not a member of the pampered bourgeoisie because I want cheese that doesn't
suck. Like, you know what I mean? Like that's the, but that's the way they've made people think
like, Oh, like, if you want your avocado toast, it's great. Just don't, you know, just don't
think that you get a say in the in how we produce the avocado toast the avocado toast will happen
but it ain't gonna happen if you you know it ain't gonna happen by by um um over empowering
the the quote-unquote natives and the lion and and deifying the noble savage it doesn't work that
way like we we built the avoc white people built the avocado toast folks i got news for you
so stop hating yourself you know while you eat your avocado toast and bitch about
white people on your fucking iphone all right whatever so i could do this one all day too
i i i know you could but um i want to dive into to the trump's essentially like war on globalism
a little bit more as well because you know it seems like he kind of went to davos and told him
like it's over do you think he has a chance like a legitimate shot to to kind of i guess break free
he does absolutely does the united states is the most by far still the most powerful country in
the world this is the propaganda that everybody needs to get through their fucking heads i had
to get it through my head took me five years took me five years of this of of getting over my own
my my dissatisfaction and hatred of the fact that my country that i was brought up to believe was
exceptional was just another two-bit fucking empire like every like every other goddamn
shitbag goddamn country that's that that's come before us and i'm like no we're not we were
subsumed into that post-world war ii we were that but we don't have to be that
and we're not do you see the russians getting in our face over iran
or Israel or Palestine or Venezuela or Cuba or any of this stuff?
Do you see that from the Russians?
Do you see that from the Chinese?
Nope.
Not at all.
Do you see Trump really getting in the way of Putin over Ukraine?
he wants the killing to end
because what he wants
is a functional relationship
with the Russians going forward.
How is he going to get that
if Europe won't stop
backing Ukraine in a war against the Russians?
You can't do any of this.
The United States and China are not enemies.
they're rivals both sides are doing shit to antagonize the other the chinese are clearly
running operations all across the west excuse me the west coast into hongcouver down in california
like all of that stuff there's clearly chinese influence in ottawa in the democratic party of
course. I mean, you know, if the U.S. is going to commit ritualistic suicide, well, let's plunder
the United States and make sure that they can't, you know, I get why the Chinese would do that.
But when the United States stands up and goes, oh, by the way, we're going to control all the
flow of heavy sour oil around the world and you're going to pay full price for China?
That's what Venezuela was about, among many, many, many other things.
but if you want to believe about the oil angle on venezuela at all understand that it's all about
the fact that it's heavy sour which is the only thing the only which is the type and kind of oil
you need to run a blue water navy which to get which the chinese are building fast now are they
building it because they want to go to war with the united states which is what my partner dexter
white fears? Or is it just that
they're central planners
and they don't know what else to do with all the friggin' iron ore?
Hey, let's build ships.
That keeps people busy.
You know, it's like
because that's
how deep their economic modeling is.
Right?
That's Xi's whole
this is Xi's failing as a leader.
He's got no
national vision.
He's just keeping people from
revolting against him.
Right?
So control that aspect of it.
Now you immediately, you finish Venezuela,
you exfiltrate Maduro because he's got all the receipts
on the 2020 election fraud, among other things,
like all the Bush clan perfidy in Florida
and the drug trade and Central and South America
and everything else.
If you don't, you know, there's a Bush angle to that story
that no one wants to talk about.
And then immediately he turns around
and he starts pressuring Iran.
protests in Iran, this starts happening, that starts happening. Some of that was the British
trying to overthrow the mullahs so that they can stick Reza Pahlavi in there. And the other part of
it is Trump wanting to get rid of the rest of the axis of resistance Iran is not a monolith Iran like five or six factions all running around trying to stay relevant and in power And the IRGC is the British head of the axis of resistance snake
that needs to be destroyed. Because remember, the British are on both sides of the Iran-Israel
conflict, right? And Turkey, Muslim Brotherhood, that's a British construct as well. Like,
Everybody's understanding of geopolitics is like, including mine for years, didn't understand a lot of these basic dynamics.
The Muslim Brotherhood is just yet another, you know, dumb British project to sow chaos in the Middle East.
So we have Sunnis who hate Shias.
We've got Sunnis and Shias who hate Jews and yada, yada, yada.
and then shake the answer,
give some arm a faction,
have them go slaughter a village,
get everybody pissed off,
play the game, right?
Not the last 60 freaking years in a nutshell, basically.
Trump's trying to do away with all that.
So does he have a chance?
Of course he has a chance.
Why?
Because the minute he moves the American military in,
everybody's like, all right, fine.
Shit, he's serious.
this bull run i'm looking for ways to stack bitcoin in my sleep and mining has always caught
my eye i've partnered with the guys over at simple mining to help you do just that i don't recommend
anything that i don't use personally so i've got a machine up and running with them right this
second and they've even opened the facility up so anyone can go and visit they manage over 15 000
machines for 500 clients handling all of the maintenance and repairs so you don't have to.

all the repairs for the first year for free. So if you've been thinking about mining,
head on over to simplemining.io slash greencandle to get this exclusive offer
and learn about the potential tax benefits that you can get from mining with Simple Mining.
All right, enough from me. Let's get back to the show.
You know, when it was Obama doing this shit, everybody knew that it was the same.
It was Obama was acting on behalf of the other people who were there.
The people who were ginning up the conflict in the first place.
With Trump, they don't know.
And now they're finally getting it through their heads.
And in many ways, he's almost giving the mullahs a way out in Iran.
Let's clean up the IRGC.
Let's clean up the other aspects of the assets of resistance.
obviously, Yemen, Hezbollah, and the rest of it. A lot of that money was being laundered through
both Venezuela and Cuba. Cuba's about to fall because he shut off the oil flow into Cuba.
They got most of their oil from Venezuela. The Cuban government's now opened up negotiations
with the Trump administration. Like, we're fixing all these old conflicts without doing explicit
regime change by saying, we're going to pluck our dude out, your dude out, and we're going to put
our guy in right now he's saying look it's up for the people ultimately to decide for now
and then as well Adelce Rodriguez gets to try and calm things down because you know part of the
quote-unquote legitimate government same thing's gonna happen in Iran had a long talk with Joaquin
Flores about about Iran and the theocracy which is just a you know thin veneer over their their
crappy technocracy. And I think everybody should listen to Joaquin's arguments about that.
It was on one of the recent episodes of my podcast, because he taught me stuff
about what's going on in Iran. The people in Iran want all this to end. They want to become part of
the normal economy. And if you can get Iran back into the normal economy, and you can get them to
truly do away with their nuclear weapons program, which is, by the way, a IRGC program, not a Mullah
program. When you think of it in those terms, all of a sudden the sanctions can come off,
and now China has to buy Iranian oil at market price, not at the current sweetheart price of
somewhere around $30 or $25 a barrel
so that they can build a massive strategic petroleum reserve
of savvy sour oil to run their Blue Water Navy
in case they have to go to war with the United States.
They get the idea of going to war with the United States later on.
Because here's the thing.
I don't think for a second Xi wants to go to war with the United States,
but there are still factions within the CCP
that are still allied with the British.
who would.
So this is the thread that Trump is trying,
this is the needle that Trump is trying to thread
at the same time trying to work out the U.S. Civil War.
But remember, the United States still has a tremendous economy.
We still have the global reserve currency.
I don't give a shit what anybody says.
You can sit here and you can play this game.
Oh, well, it's dropped to 50,
or the gold is more valuable now
than the gold on people's balance sheets
are more valuable than the dollar.
Yeah, but the gold doesn't flow.
The dollars flow.
Like, at the end of the day,
stock doesn't matter, flow is all that matters?
Or do we not remember any of that?
It's the same arguments I make about Bitcoin.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin is hoarded
and therefore it doesn't flow
and therefore it's not a currency,
it's a reserve asset, right?
Oh, and everybody who says that,
there's no market for US treasury bonds.
Really?
Then why does the TIC report
keep reporting every month that
you know, there's more treasuries on central bank balance sheets than there were last month.
Just, you know, facts contradict your, you know, your feelings. Fuck your feelings. These are the
facts. Now, yeah, a lot of that buying was from who? Europeans. Why? Because they're trying to
defend their shitty euro. Because the euro is literally just another adjunct aspect of the euro
of the dollar hegemony at the end of the day it's not it's not an expression of the yuan
or the ruble or the yen it's all the euro dollar system
the only thing that's in there that all their reserves are based on dollars
like off with the rest of it so like you know like it or not and i know a lot of people don't
want to hear this because they're so angry that the united states for having
everything up through the 80s 90s and aughts and even into the 2010s you got to let all that go
it's a new sheriff in town this is the world that we're going to build and we can build it together
because we have more in common than we have again than we then we have i'm saying i'm saying this
to bitcoiners and gold bugs and everybody else we have more in common than you think as a guy who
stands on both sides now goes yeah i'm still a gold bug i'm still a bitcoiner and i'm still
Trumpian because Trump is right. We can fix all this and we can use the right power, the rights
and the powers and the infrastructure of the United States. We still have the best corporate
law in the world, folks. Everybody still comes in the United States. We're still everybody else's
offshore tax haven. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's because everybody else's government sucks.
and all we have to do is get rid of the fucking traitors and get back to the constitution
and we're watching we're literally watching a president exercise his article two powers
to the limit of those article two powers and everybody's like oh my god he's orange
Mussolini. No, he's fucking Washington or Lincoln.
This is the power that he was given. And he's running, he's running the exact same operation
that Lincoln had to run because the civil war was another fucking goddamn British color revolution.
Start reading the world that way. Start reading history that way. And it's so much more predictive
and so much more explanatory of what we've seen than anything else.
I'm not saying it's wholly explanatory, but start there,
and then the rest of history makes so much more sense.
As we watch the end of the British Empire,
they took their shot at the Civil War.
They took their shot in World War I.
After the Civil War, they had to take their shot,
and they had to get the United States on board to help them fight World War I.
and so they they inserted their people into our government and so that by the time we got the
1913 we got the federal reserve the income tax direct election of senators you know and everything
else right they and they actually won the civil war in 1913 that they lost in 1865
and then they got us to fight world war ii and then if you listen to my friend susan kokinda
though, she'll tell you, no, they killed FDR because he was going to, you know, not going
to go along with Bretton Woods and not allow Churchill to extend the British Empire one
more fucking time.
They put that fucking hayseed Truman in place.
Now I have to wonder about whether, did Dewey actually win the election or not?
Remember Dewey beats Truman, the big, you know, the big false headline.
We found out the next morning that Truman won.
Was that the first time they stole an American election?
circular economy down in Tampa Bay, Florida. They're doing absolutely great things. And it's
the Bitcoin community that I've called home for such a long time. And these guys are absolutely
crushing it. So please do anything you can to support. Buy your tickets today. You can use
promo code GREENCANDLE to get 10% off your Sound Money Soiree tickets. So do you know anything
about Bitcoin? No. You guys can come down and see this ugly mug. Come boogie on the dance floor,
shake it and now that bitcoin's over 100k you could do it all with your girlfriends
all right on that for me let's get back to the show
it's a great question i put it out there for everybody to consider my dog agrees with me
clearly yeah well i i mean you've been talking about trump and and uh for a while but you've
also been talking about drone pal so i kind of want to dive into him because obviously his
his reign is uh is coming to a close here in may and then uh trump has kevin warsh kind of coming
in and that's seemingly dumped the metals market dumped bitcoin everything kind of crashed after
that announcement as well um and and trump has kind of publicly gone out powell for a while um
do you think that that was just not kind of he's gone after him hard yeah is that political theater
or what do you think that that is?
I think some of it is theater.
I think some of it is real.
I've been saying for a year since this started,
since he first started going after Powell,
I'm like, everybody's looking at me going,
dude, Trump is not on board with your thesis.
I'm like, no.
I'm not saying that he likes Powell because he doesn't.
Powell's job is to be the scapegoat for Trump
to make the argument that the Fed needs to be reformed.
Someone has to be the bad guy.
like Trump is very good at narrative. He's very good at narrative structure.
He gets to be the hero at all other times. He gets to be the victim because in every,
in the, in, this is one of the problems. Let's, let's, let's, let's back up for a second.
In the entire, um, panoply of Donald Trump as presidential candidate,
what has he been the entire time? Narrative sense. He's the villain.
he's the villain he's orange hitler he's this he's a russian agent he's this he's always the
villain every day is opposite day in trump's new america meaning that every day every time trump
does anything the democrats and his op and the british will always then turn around to just like
the opposite position right they're very easy to work out cnn if if trump is if trump is against
tariffs, they're for tariffs. Like that's how we, we now have shit libs in Minnesota on Facebook
in favor of the second amendment, because that's that idiot Alex Freddie was carrying a gun
and he had the right to carry a gun. Cause it's the second amendment. Like, Oh, well,
for my next trick, I'm going to get them to, to, to, to, um, renounce single payer healthcare.
You know what I mean? Like all he has to do is get. So when you start there and then you realize that all drama is based on hero, victim and villain, that there are three.
There are three things. There are three roles, hero, victim and villain.
And if Trump's always the villain in their narrative, then who's the hero?
Who's the victim?
Right.
We're the victims and, you know, and the proletariat or whomever, the brown people or illegals or whomever are the are the are the heroes.
Right.
Well, in Trump, what Trump does is he.
Oh, because he's always the villain in the big sense.
He then turns to his base and goes, I'm either the hero or the victim.
and then he makes somebody else into the villain, right?
That's his whole modus operandi.
So Federal Reserve is easy.
I'm the hero, Jerome Powell's the villain,
and you're the victim, right?
Somalia, I'm the hero, they're the villain,
you know, you're the victim, they're the villain.
you know the fraudsters tim waltz doesn't matter you know and then if they attack trump he gets
directly then he gets to play the victim card you get to be the hero to defend him against
the external attack so now let's do the thing with jerome powell if you want to reform the fed
how do you get there you get there by saying the fed is corrupt
you've been thieved and i'm going to fix it i'm going to fix it because i need lower interest
rates i'm going to fix it because we need lower house we need to stabilize the housing market we
need to figure out ways to get young families into homes so that they can have babies and
you know raise families and everything else he ties all of these narratives into the federal
reserve which are all right along with waste fraud and abuse in minnesota and you know and
he picked on the one aspect of the Federal Reserve that was the easiest thing for him to pick on,
a $2.5 billion remodel, which just looks like typical government waste, fraud, and abuse.
Even the Federal Reserve is not immune to that, right? I mean, if I'm sitting in the Trump
strategy room and he says that, I go, oh, I know. I can see what you're doing. That makes perfect
sense yes mr president that's a very good idea and you can tie it to what we found out in minnesota
and you can tie it to this and you can tie it to this and you can tie it to that oh that's all i
ever do i just might just sit down i'm like okay so if i was in the room with donald trump and he's
like doing some random fucking shit i'm like why is he doing that because he never does anything
randomly you know so he started picking on powell in order to start the process of saying
telling the American people,
Brandon, we're weird.
We know what the Fed is.
We're even weirder than that we know what the Fed does.
And then you're, I'm maximum weird
because I know how the Fed operates.
The average person doesn't even know what the fucking Fed is.
If you ask 90, if you ask 50 fucking Americans,
25 of them will say our dollar's backed by gold.
okay
like they don't know it's not like libertarians and ron paul had a huge effect on the world
but they've had enough of an effect to make it into a strong enough argument about the desire
to go back to some kind of currency that's tied to a hard asset whether it's administered by the
Fed or it's not is irrelevant. But if you want to reform the Fed, you got to start the process
of letting everybody know that the Fed's been stealing from you, that central banking is evil.
And if Trump really is talking about re-invoking the Hamiltonian platform of national banking,
productive economy, blah, blah, blah, blah, tariffs and all of that stuff,
then he has to go after the Fed. Even though the Fed has been instrumental in my argument,
instrumental in laying the groundwork to bring Donald Trump back to power.
Because without Powell going to 5.5% and draining the fuck out of the euro dollar system
and putting the German economy on its knees and the British and the French and everybody else
and forcing them at a very difficult time to defend their currencies and to drain the
leverage out of that system and to get SOFR implemented so that we're no longer pricing
dollars based on the Eurodollar system, but based on our domestic currency markets or domestic repo
markets. Donald Trump doesn't come back to power. If Jerome Powell's not at the Fed and you know
that, and I listen to Trump like talk about Powell, like you cut interest rates right before
the election to try and help. This is the dumbest shit imaginable. Monetary policies take six to
nine months to start filtering through the economy. If Powell wanted Kamala Harris to
be president, he would have started cutting rates in March or January. The fact that he held off
until September, he nearly torched the fucking American credit system in order to make sure that
Kamala Harris wasn't elected president because we were seeing we were starting to see bank runs and
stressing the repo markets and every other goddamn thing doesn't so again whether I know Trump
understands all this and he doesn care he lies for strategic advantage I not capable of it I only know how to like you know birth whatever came out of the out of the bowels of my my Gen X vitriol you know generator which is like right here every
day. That's all I know how to do. But Trump is like, you're not fucking a lie. He'll look right
at you and lie. I didn't give a shit because he's, because he's going to lie to find out where your
pain point is. You know, lie to find out how we can get the best out of you in a negotiation.
everything he does is strategic i made the mistake of thinking that of not thinking that
for years that was a huge mistake and and i missed a lot of things that he did
and i missed a lot of the reactions and i didn't understand the reactions against him during his
first term and so i missed oh i missed how they were walling him off and how they were
destroying it.
And so, you know, live and learn.
That's what the process is, right?
So, happy to say that I was a retard in 2018
and I'm less of a retard today.
Well, then what is...
And somehow people still listen to me.
What is the new pick then?
You know, Kevin Warsh, because he seems to be...
Oh, he's a Trump guy through and through.
He's a Hamilton guy through and through.
He's going to cut interest rates.
He's going to shrink the Fed's balance sheet.
without a doubt like he's going to do what needs to be done that's what trump wants that's of
course if he's not a red herring dive into that what do you mean now why would he be a red herring
meaning that you can't get that guy through the senate right now right i'm not saying this is
operative i'm not saying this is what's happening i'm saying this is a possibility this is scenario
You've got to play the scenario out.
And what would the scenario be?
The scenario would be, well, he's going to throw Warsh out there
because he knows that everybody hates Warsh,
but they can't turn down two Fed chairs.
So he loses on Warsh, and then he what?
He gets Judy Shelton?
I don't know.
I don't think it's ever.
Actually, I don't even believe it's going to be Shelton,
to be honest with you.
I don't think she was ever really seriously in the running.
I think Trump would love to have her on the Federal Reserve Board because he nominated her once.
Famously, John McCain, in one of his last acts before his brain tumor heroically gave its life for our country,
high-fived with Kamala Harris to block her appointment on the Senate floor.
but
if Warsh is the real pick
which he probably is
he's going to do exactly what Trump wants him to do
because he's made it abundantly clear
that he's going to remove the last vestige
of the Fed put under the market
and that means
the euro dollar system is in serious trouble
because if
he's not there and wanting to bail out
the banks that refuse to clean up their balance sheets on Wall Street.
That would be, in this case, Citi and BOFA
are, in my mind, the two that are the most vulnerable.
We could see a problem there.
But BlackRock just bent the knee.
Larry Fink bent the knee at Davos to Trump.
I mean
you know
and I've always said that like for example
like everybody, the whole idea of turning
BlackRock into this big
you know, boogeyman
as far as I'm concerned
that was always a dot, that was again another one of these
like dumb British
tabloid puff
jobs, Larry Fink is a guy
who's the CEO of a company that has
80 billion dollars on its balance sheets
fucking mid cap
if JP Morgan wants Black Rock's book of business
JP Morgan buys Black Rock's book of business
it's just that simple
and there's nothing fucking Larry Fink can do about it
and if you don't think I'm right about that
then why did Larry Fink bend the fucking knee at Davos
about institutional trust and everything else
he was beaten
and Mark Carney knew he was beaten
in the minute the military coup against Xi Jinping failed.
And now Carney has to bend the knee.
But Carney's too proud to bend the knee fully.
He's going to go scorched doors with Canada.
And they're going to go scorched doors on Australia.
And Starmer's going scorched doors on the Commonwealth.
Basically saying, look, if we can't control the colonies,
then neither can you.
We're going to destroy the people in the process.
Because these people are fucking Satanists.
You know, they're evil.
They're not just...
They're not just power hungry.
They're evil.
And they don't give a shit.
And they've threatened us with nuclear war
for 75 freaking years.
You think they wouldn't sacrifice, you know,
75 or 80 million English people?
Really?
Okay.
In reality, 20 million Canadians,
the other 20 million are poos.
The next 40 million are going to be poos,
but they're all going to have Canadian passports.
Some of them will be Chinese.
And I say that with love.
There's plenty of, you know, I say, you know,
it's terrible.
We want to save Canada.
We want to liberate Canada.
We want to liberate the UK.
We want to liberate Ireland.
We want to liberate the Australians.
Central and South America, too.
They need to be liberated.
And we're watching Central and South America liberate themselves.
Bucalion, El Salvador, this new one in Costa Rica.
Was it Costa Rica the other day?
I mean, start looking at, you know, Scheinbaum is already asked, basically asking for help with the cartels in order to be free in Mexico.
Right. Cuba is now starting to negotiate.
Like it's coming, this old world of these evil colonial powers.
what I see this morning with France.
The French are actively,
you know,
French intelligence, French military actively
have a list drawn up
of the Russians, by the way,
are putting this information out. It's fucking hilarious
about how the French intelligence
are drawing up
lists of unacceptable
African
leaders.
Right?
What are you going to do about that?
Manny.
after you get you know pegged one more time like seriously i want to dive in
i'm not even like i the sad part about it is when i make a joke like that joke when i say
something like that it's not it's you laugh because you know it's true yeah it's a mess
it's pathetic you said something about uh about the bank so i want to dive into that
before we get into like kind of the geopolitical angle,
because you said like, what'd you say?
Bank of America potentially is the most vulnerable.
Bank of America and Citigroup are both the ones
with the deepest ties.
I mean, you see it, people talking about it everywhere.
You know, who's short in the silver market,
who's got problems and, you know,
who's got ties to the European banking system and whatnot.
You just know that it's out there.
And that's my inference. That's my read on the situation. It's been that way for a long time.
And I asked the simple question all the time. I asked a simple question, right? Here's one.
Bofa's known that this has been coming for years. It's not like the management of Bofa and Citigroup
didn't know that Trump was, one, coming back to power, two, was having the red carpet laid out for
him by Morgan and Morgan Stanley and Goldman and everybody else, right? All those other banks
were lining up to assist Powell to ensure that Trump comes back to power. And why are they still
sitting on massive derivative books if the European banking system closed? It's because
they're still fucking traders is why. They should have cleaned their balance sheets up. They've had
seven years to do it and they haven't done it.
Why? Because they want to blow up.
They want to be a ticking time bomb.
It's the only way you can, like,
it's the only conclusion you can draw.
Well, if you don't play ball,
we'll blow up Bofa.
By tea time.
Fuck you, Keir Starmer.
Hey, Andrew Bailey, bend over.
No.
worship the free and federal reserve they're not going to get a bailout and if they do it'll be
it'll be partial the next time one of their their institutions blows up it won't be 2008
where we nationalize fanny and freddy let lehman go and bail out fucking london's aig
which is what we did who did that
Trump, sorry, Bush and Obama.
That's who did it.
John McCain, Mitt Romney,
Geithner, Paulson.
They bailed out fucking London.
AIG was designed the way AIG,
go back and watch,
I watched the thing by Henster Pierce,
who by the way is now part of the Trump administration,
where she was at George Mason University
talking about all this.
like and asking went on an entire like forensic discovery of you know um historical look at how
AIG built the balance sheet that it built and then asked the very simple question why did we
bail out AIG multiple times why wasn't it broken up into good parts and bad parts why was it made
hole. These people use blackmail and misdirection. AIG was bailed out because London blew it up on
purpose. Their balance sheet was designed, their MBS-like layers and all this crap that they had
on their balance. It was all designed to blow up. And then Bernanke raises interest rates,
ensuring that it blows up. And then Lehman is left
to twist in the fucking wind while AIG gets everything.
And we wind up with a nationalized Fannie and Freddie, the city of London in charge of our
fucking yield curve, and Obama, the frigging Manchurian, I mean, sorry, square mile candidate
as president who then nationalizes
fucking healthcare and leaves us
at the zero bound for a freaking decade
and destroys the
structure of the dollar.
And destroys
the middle class.
We don't need
to go any farther than that. If Bofa and
Citigroup blow up, it'll be because
they're the last
things to blow up.
Everything else is just a chase scene
at this point.
there's there's not that much more to say are they or are they not going to be able to pull these
pins on these grenades and throw them at us best and trump are saying they can't
because we know where these problems are and we will just shut them down
we will boomerang them back onto you and you will go bankrupt this time because no one's going to be
because the U.S. taxpayer is not going to save you,
which is why they haven't done it yet,
which is why gold is $5,000 an ounce
and the system hasn't imploded.
Remember Rick Rule used to say,
I believe that the $10,000 an ounce gold is possible.
I don't want to live in that world
because that implies Mad Max
and living off of canned sardines
and trading toilet paper and primers.
but that's not what happened.
It didn't happen because the United States didn't play ball all the way to the end.
So if you want to understand,
if you want to go back to your original question as to why the,
you know,
why all of this,
because the United States still has dominance in military economy,
infrastructure,
this,
that,
everything else.
All we have to do is start producing shit again.
All we have to do is stop getting,
stop bitching at ourselves about, you know, being stupid and just show up for fucking work for once.
It's not hard, folks. Everybody else is just far worse off than we are. The Chinese have built
so much, they have so much malinvestment. It's not funny. And I never wanted to believe this.
I've always been the skeptic on the whole China is going to collapse theory. Have been for years.
I've been surrounded by China hawks my entire professional career.
I'm like, not going to buy that until I actually see evidence of it.
And China's standing down at every one of these geopolitical dust-ups that Trump has dealt with.
tells me, yeah, they're far more vulnerable
than we thought they were.
Yeah.
Where does Latin America play in this?
They're just...
They're just the next area to be liberated.
The United States is taking control of its borders.
It's got a problem.
It has to get control of the Great Lakes.
It has to get control of the West Coast.
Go look at a map of the United States.
Go look at where all the blue state governors are.
Central and South America are easy.
Fix it.
Get rid of London.
Get rid of the drug trade.
Get rid of the human trafficking.
Get rid of all that shit.
It's already done.
It's the Gulf of America.
It sounded stupid when he did it, but he did it on purpose.
this was trump's way of saying because fuck you that's why
i'm sorry what um we're america well how can you change that because fuck you that's why
it's not the gulf of mexico it's the gulf of america why because fuck you
well there we go so then venice with latin america because fuck you we're gonna liberate
you people we're not we're not playing the same games that we played before you guys don't have
to play this game i'm telling you after cuba it's going to be all the offshore tax havens
the caymans british virgin islands bahamas bermuda all that shit's all gonna they're
we're gonna roll all that up that's next and canada alberta is going to be alberta may be
part of the united states by the end of the year depending on how the things go in domestically in
the United States. Was Venezuela just the start then? Yes. Venezuela was the linchpin
to all the bullshit in Latin America and in the Western hemisphere. Everything crosses in
Venezuela. All the organized crime, all the cash money flowing around the world, all the illicit
oil trading, all of the drug trafficking and the human trafficking and all of it. It all flowed
out of Venezuela. And Maduro was the figurehead.
And so Trump went and plucked him using the outstanding
warrant for him. Because Maduro
also has all the thumb drives of all the shit that was done
that went through Venezuela.
And then a week later, two weeks later, Tulsi Gabbard is
along with the FBI
serving a warrant for all of the 2020 election records.
If you don't think that that was not a massive message
to every shitbag rhino in Congress and the Senate,
I don't know how anybody would call themselves
a domestic political analyst.
Because clearly, that's what that was.
The Georgia GOP is dirty.
and they fucked him over in Georgia.
And then I have to sue him.
Yeah, Raffisberger, both fucking senators,
Warnock and Ossoff, all of it.
Every bit of it.
Marjorie Taylor, drama queen, sorry, knee pads.
Like all of it.
Every fucking bit of it.
I can't wait to watch her go on The View again.
I can't wait for her to start a podcast.
It's going to be great.
Tom, you've always been generous with your time.
Why don't you tell people where they can find out more about you and read more of your work,
see all the great videos and content you're putting out?
Well, I mean, as always, you can follow the podcast and newsletter over at tomolonga.me.
You can follow me on Twitter at TFL1728, which is where, you know,
that's where you're going to get my running commentary on a daily basis.
And then, you know, Patreon slash Cold Goats and Guns,
which is where I take care of my patrons and how we pay the bills and how we do the thing.
So you can sign up for the newsletter or just the market reports.
And, you know, either way, we still keep it.
It's still unbelievably cheap.
And I think I need to deal with that problem.
But that's a different thing.
That's a different discussion for a different day.
So with that being said, yeah, for the price of a cup of coffee, a bad cup of coffee at Starbucks, not even a latte.
Come on, give it up.
So there you go.
Tom, you're a legend.
