It seems like they, in the words of the immortal and hilarious sam tripoli they don't want you flying they don't want you flying have you seen all of the scare stories recently about uh bowing and planes engines catching on fire all those things so i it made me think of uh of the aviation term it's called the graveyard spiral you know if you ever watch these world war ii documentaries you know what happens you you wind up sort of down and your plane is on a downward trajectory and there's nothing you can do to pull out of it. And you're going to crash. It just hasn't happened yet. And what a horrible and yet appropriate metaphor for what America is going through right now. They call it a death spiral, right? So this is America's death spiral. We've been watching this for a while, been witnessing it and doing stories about it. Hell, writing books about it. You know, it's undeniable and it's measurable, too, on top of all of that. You know, it's something that you can objectively watch unfolding right in front of your eyes that you think you can't pull out of, you know. And so one of the things I want to do is I want to break this down and talk about it in a couple of different areas. Let's talk financial, societal, military education. It's kind of like a couple of the tentacles of the octopus. We'll focus on four of them and not really do all eight because if we do that, then that's a book. And if you're interested in the book, The Octopus of Global Control will get you started on that. by the way, audiobook coming, just so you know. I'll let you know when it's ready. But I guess the question is, when you take a look around and you see this death spiral, I think a reasonable question is, is it intentional? I mean, it could be accidental for sure. I mean, I don't ever want to discount that. And I don't want to attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence. And there's plenty of incompetence to go around. We see that on a daily basis as well. But I think some of the tricks that they use is to disguise malevolence as incompetence. And that's where you get the Rumsfeld mistakes were made. Like, oh, we didn't mean to do this. Of course, we made some mistakes. They're all in the past. I mean, I'm not going to assign any blame to any one particular person. I'm just going to vaguely say that there were some mistakes that were made and that um you know if you want to focus on ancient history go ahead well ancient history you mean three days ago well you know we're charting a course forward can't be living in the past well guess what on this show i got an hour to live in the past so we're going to do that and the past is is really not too far in the distant future unfortunately we're not talking about world war one here we're talking about three weeks ago we're talking about the decisions that have been made by the people in positions of power or at least perceived positions of power um that impact us right now and you you you have to ask so if it is intentional and i believe a sizable amount of this is then what's the goal is it just the controlled demolition of the american empire because if it's that okay i i mean i can i can wrap my head around that but it feels like it's more than just that it feels like it feels like it's it's not enough to break the country they have to break the spirit of the people in the country you know the demoralization process as as bezmanov talks about right so we and we've done plenty of work on on a lot of these these topics but um but unfortunately there's always new stuff to to get into and as we're in 20 the year 2024 is an important year it always you know whenever you have an election they say it's the most important election of our lifetime yeah yeah whatever but this time there's um there are election's happening all over the world. It's not limited to America. And this cycle is going to, well, look, we've got a target date. It's about six months away from here, right? That's when we're going to know a little bit more than six months, I guess. But that's when we're going to see when that's the finish line for this election. I mean, not a finish line for insanity, but it's the finish line for the election component of it. And then in America, at least, we'll know who the next puppet is to lead us into this dystopian hellscape it'll probably be donald trump unless his plane blows up uh it if it is joe biden he'll die on the job which is fine with me and if it's i mean if it's gavin newsom or hillary clinton or michelle obama or whoever they strap a parachute in on to to uh to drop them into this election at the last second you know who cares really it doesn't matter it's just which flavor of tyranny is your favorite but you're getting tyranny no matter what it's on the agenda it's just is it going to be delivered by your guy or the other guy you know are you going to do are you going to to embrace the tyranny to thunderous applause because donald trump is the president and you think that he's less of a threat than the other people that's fine whatever i mean these people are all threats it's just it's just a matter of degree. So I wonder about this, though, you know, this death spiral that we see. I mean, we see it. It's pretty obvious if you open your eyes and you take a look around in these four different components, the financial side of things, the societal side we see militarily, educationally. We'll wrap up with education. But my question is, what are the warning signs? and would you recognize them when you saw them? Because it's real easy to analyze this stuff after the fact. You know, in retrospect, you know, oh yeah, of course this was going to happen. Yeah, but can you see them in advance? That's what takes a little bit of more, you know, a little bit more talent or skill or practice or just experience, right? You hear certain terms, you see certain things happen and you go, oh, I know where this is leading I can extrapolate out where I think this is leading. Everything's a little bit vague the further you get away from the target date. But you have an idea. You have a pretty good idea. Would you plan accordingly? If you knew what to look for, if you knew what the warning signs were, and then you saw them, would you take action? Would you trust yourself? if you saw that the banking system was a house of cards, and it is, and you knew that your money is in the bank, and you know that when you signed up for that bank account, you basically became an unsecured creditor at the bank and that the bank actually owns that bank account. And then you saw them pass some weird bail-in legislation a couple of years ago that legalized the bank stealing your money and you saw all these all these things rightly in advance of everybody else and you watch them get to 35 trillion dollars of money printing and you watched inflation go through the roof both parties did that too to be fair donald trump is the one that printed all the money uh biden inherited that mess but it was it was trump doing it too so let's not pretend like orange man good at money would you take your money out of the bank though after you saw all of that, what is it going to take for you to do the additional work, to trust yourself, to rightly recognize, I'm seeing all the signs, they're lighting up. I know what I'm looking for. I'm seeing it all. I know what I need to do. Are you going to do it? That's the real question. That's what separates you. I mean, because let's talk this out for a second here it's one thing to be your parents who don't know any of this right who don't see it they don't want to see it they grew up in a different era they can't even imagine the mainstream media lying to them let alone that the banks are insolvent and that they can keep like they can't see their mind won't allow them to see this okay but you see it you hear this stuff and you go that sounds a little bit crazy but it but it does check out and it does make sense Oh, shit. He's not making that up about the bail-ins, and he's not making that up about the unsecured credit. Okay. All right. Well, maybe I should reevaluate my relationship with the bank, right? what if you knew all of this in a way that your parents didn't and you didn't do anything about it you'd be in the same boat as them except it'd be a hundred times worse for you because you would you knew you should have done something and you didn't do it oh nothing in this world is more expensive than regret so if you're waiting for cnn to broadcast it's time to get your money out the banks man is too late not that that not that this audience would listen to that anyway but so let's start with the military shall we let's start let's start let's start with the woke military shall we and talk about how they are contributing to this massive uh death spiral the wokeness and general pronouns i like to call them general pronouns uh general mark milley who might as well put the clown makeup on himself every morning because he is just an embarrassment to the military he's an embarrassment to himself he has all that all that flair on his uniform he looks like he works at tchotchkes or flingers or wherever um he you know lost the war in afghanistan to a bunch of uh sheep fucking barefoot mountain people with a trillion dollar a year military congratulations they should strip you of all of your flair you and darth vader uh general raytheon the the guy who who didn't tell biden uh lloyd austin general lloyd austin who didn't tell biden that he was uh having a colonoscopy or having his ass removed or something uh just decided he'd let the he'd let twitter break that news to the president of the united states that the secretary of defenses and bethesda naval hospital getting a robot stuck up his ass it's an embarrassment i'm not i've never been in the military uh but for those of you that have served in the american military i'm curious to know what you think of this because you you you've got to be mortified these people are a are a i mean to call it clown world is it is a insult to clowns at least clowns are kind of funny in their weirdness. This is sad and dangerous. West Point removes duty, honor, country from mission statement. Why would you do that? West Point, by the way, is one of the military academies here in the United States. It's like a big deal to get into West Point. They don't take dummies. You got to be real smart to get into West Point. your duty honor and country that's outdated now i mean listen the whole thing's bullshit but but but still at least protect this this this begs the question why did you feel the need to remove this you could have done nothing this is to me this is like the the changing of the smith-munt act where you go, was it expiring? No. Why'd you change it then? Oh, because we intended to do the exact opposite. Oh, so what would the motto of West Point with duty, honor, country, was that set to expire? No. Well, then why'd you change it? Oh, well, because duty, honor, and country we're not interested in anymore. That's the answer. That's the only acceptable answer because otherwise you wouldn't change it. So if you're in the military currently and you're listening to this, you're, probably frustrated very much so with your situation Hang in there do what you need to do to take care of yourself don let these people get you killed overseas for some bullshit y could you imagine dying in israel an american soldier dying in israel on behalf of this administration in the israeli administration or dying in ukraine on behalf of zolensky oh nothing could be worse than that right um the military has reduced entry requirements they'll take criminals now they used to have standards used to have to do pull-ups and push-ups and run a mile and under i don't know you run run a 10 minute mile or something i don't know 12 minute mile yeah they got rid of all that we don't need that standards requirements yeah no we'll take anybody why is that why why are you having a hard time recruiting people into the military well because 70 of the people that would be possible recruits are too fat too stupid or have a criminal background that's so they've had to change that they've they realize well our core audience is just too fucking unnecessary to even qualify to join the basic training like the bare bare minimum of the army no ged is needed any longer used to have to have a high school diploma that's not necessary they moved down to a ged good enough degree as chris rock calls it don't need that anymore knuckle tattoos they're okay they used to say oh we don't want that in our military now they have knuckle tattoos it's fine but and i don't and i don't have any energy one way or the other about tattoos but it used to be a standard and now it's been reduced so that's really all you need to know um what's next huh what's next with this uh removal of requirements illegal aliens coming in because that's what senator dick durbin said he suggested that we we exchange citizenship for service meaning you you come illegally into the country broke the law to come in which is illegal but of course they'll take criminals now in the military which is convenient because everyone that's an illegal alien is technically also a criminal for breaking the rule i mean i don't get too hung up on on breaking the law or anything like that but if you're if you're being if you're being honest they're breaking the law by coming in so they are by definition criminal criminals i mean i don't crossing an imaginary line is whatever but by law they are criminals and now the military wants to recruit them they want to put them in the armed forces in exchange for citizenship that's an idea that's being talked talked about i don't think that that's some accidental idea i think they're prepping i think they're laying the groundwork i think they're starting this process of getting it into the public consciousness that like hey maybe we'll exchange this and maybe we can maybe we can get something good out of i mean the americans are too fat and stupid and you know to to to join the military why don't we get these hard-working people that have just come across illegally or across the border do they speak the language no are they americans no do we want them in the american military yes is this a good idea no it's a horrible idea because you don't have to have the united nations shoot people inside america now you can just have the u.s military do it there are no intellectual or ideological or cultural or familial links to this country anyway, so they could shoot Americans easily. What are you going to do? Put them on the border to guard the border? I mean, come on. So they've reduced the physical fitness requirements to get in. They got rid of hell week, the banging of the trash cans, get on your feet, maggots. It's 4am. We're going to go do all that. They got rid of that because too many people were breaking down and sucking their thumb and needing safe spaces they can't have that anymore they the military completely and utterly botched afghanistan if you believe that the plan was to do afghanistan the correct way and remove all of that all those weapons and take them back home i am of the belief that the perception is that they botched afghanistan and that in actuality the plan was to leave that stuff behind all along and that that stuff that those weapons were going to find themselves distributed to the wrong people so that the wrong people could continue to be a boogeyman in the future um so i mean i'm not willing i'm not ruling out the fact that the military was totally incompetent pulling pulling out of afghanistan that's certainly on the table but i think a more reasonable explanation is that the withdrawal from afghanistan went exactly according to plan it's just that the plan was a little different than what we were told you've got an unpopular deeply pardon me deeply unpopular war in ukraine that we are enabling financing doing all these great things there's 500 000 dead ukrainians according to some of the reports to the last dead ukrainian right isn't that isn't that what uh joe biden thinks it doesn't cost him much just money right didn't we have some of the congress people on uh on camera saying that this was the best money they ever spent that it did weakened russia and didn't cost us all that much it didn't even cost us any dead americans uh it cost a lot of dead ukrainians but of course they're disposable if you're the american empire they don't give a shit about them at all so um you know you've got a deeply unpopular war in ukraine that we're just finding trying to find creative ways to finance which is crazy me same with the israel palestine thing you've got uh that's deeply unpopular for a majority of people everyone in washington dc of course they love uh financing the israelis to to fight the palestinians because everyone in washington dc is totally owned by the israel lobby in one way or another or they're dual citizens so you know of course they're going to want that we've got navy battles in yemen that are kick-starting basically kick-starting a hot war in the region probably by design i mean the you know and we've talked about this before in in the the the red sea episode that we did that this is uh you know what does it do the price of oil you know you get you get a a hot war going in that region the red sea gulf of aden arabian peninsula area where ships are afraid to go through there and next thing you know everyone's rerouting and uh oil goes through the roof and you know that's what we've got um speaking of deeply unpopular wars in ukraine you might have noticed that victoria newland is out couldn't have happened to a nicer person boy did you see the before and after pictures of her what a lifetime of of disgusting war hawking zionism will do to your face oh she used to be cute when she when she got it and now she looks like a catcher's net disgusting uh victoria newland and her husband robert kagan who's one of the founders of pnac remember project for a new american century uh an american enterprise institute you know these two should be hanged from light poles in the town square for their crimes against humanity they're dual agents they're they're they don't represent the united states interest we know that if you know anything about who pnac is you know which country they work for so you know we've we've been they've discovered that there's plenty of cia bases inside ukraine yeah bio labs inside ukraine yes organ harvesting human trafficking bio lab research so it's a terrarium for the military industrial complex ftx laundering money for the democratic parties through there um an embarrassment really but um but you know listen i'll tell you what i could see i'll tell you what this is a real thing i could see i could see them kick-starting a hot war in the red sea that takes oil prices up through the roof as a present to donald trump who gets to deal with that for four years of his administration when he gets in there more than likely it's tail into this year. So if Biden thinks he's losing, they love to start wars in order to keep themselves in power. But if it doesn't keep him in power, it will at least keep Donald Trump bogged down with high oil prices that prohibit a lot from getting done. Let's talk about the financial death spiral. I mean, right off the bat, the corporate media is lying about this. uh here here's a this is a a headline that i read a day or two ago why corporate bankruptcies were up in 2023 despite the improving economy by bobby allen who i assume wears a mask in his car by himself hey bobby uh please show me this improving economy that you're talking about you You fucking pathological liar. Hey, why were bankruptcy? Why corporate bankruptcies were up even though everything was great? Because everything's not great. How about that for an answer? But of course, they're paid to not understand this. So I don't know why anyone would be too surprised about that. But let me ask you the question. Would you recognize the signs of a financial calamity if you saw it? Well, what about this? Gold is at an all-time high of $2,200 an ounce. It's being sold at Costco. It's being sold at Walmart. It is now experiencing massive retail demand. China buying a ton of gold. China mines a bunch of gold. They never sell it. Russia buying gold. The BRICS nation's backing their BRICS currency with gold. Gold at an all-time high. Trying desperately. all the the marketplaces that trade precious metals that the main marketplaces busted by regulators for rigging the marketplaces convicted of felonies for rigging the marketplaces they they short these uh the gold and silver markets with paper contracts it's a long complicated story i won't get into but they try desperately to suppress the price of gold because the last thing they want you to recognize is that gold is a much better alternative than just keeping your money in federal reserve notes located in a bank account that you don't control. So of course, gold is appealing. But you know what makes it less appealing? That it hasn't done jack shit in like 20 years. That's what makes it less appealing. I should say it hasn't done jack shit. Let me reframe that. It hasn't appreciated in price compared to inflation. That's what I mean by jack shit. I mean, it hasn't gone up like Google stock or Microsoft stock or NVIDIA or Bitcoin or whatever. We're going to get to Bitcoin in a second. But gold is the number one asset on the planet. $14.7 trillion worth of gold is currently available. but if you have your money in gold mines or gold producing stocks you are you are not rewarded for it they have done everything they can to suppress that um but it is the number one asset in the world and if you've got yourself some federal soon to be worthless federal reserve notes boy i'd be looking to convert them into something else let's talk about bitcoin bitcoin at all-time highs as well. When I ask, would you recognize the signs? Well, you have a form of sound money in gold, which has a theoretically a limited supply. I mean, we don't know how much is underground, but it requires effort to pull it out of the ground, refine it, mint it, ship it, store it, all that stuff, right? There's value there. It's used commercially. It's used in jewelry. It's used by central banks. It's used by a lot of people. Now you've got Bitcoin, which is a digital store of value. If you listen to Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, it's not a currency, but it's a digital store of value. There are only going to be a grand total of 21 million Bitcoin in existence. That's the maximum. They can't print more. They can't add more. That's the appeal of it. It's not a bug. It's a feature. And within that 21 million, I mean, I think a case can be made that anywhere from 10% to 20% had been lost forever. People mined them back when they were worth a dollar. They didn't think much of it. You had it on a computer. That computer went to the dump years ago, whatever. I mean, it happens. It goes away. I think people are probably a little bit more inclined to keep an eye on it. Now, the idea of losing it is probably not going to happen when it's $72,000 a coin. You're going to want to know where that is. But back in the day, I mean, nobody knew what it was, not too many people knew what it was going to do. And so the fact of it going away is, people losing it is reasonable. Then on top of that, you have, Well, let me just say that it just passed silver to move into number eight on the asset class list. I mentioned gold, $14.7 trillion asset. Bitcoin, number eight on this list, $1.4 trillion asset. So almost exactly one-tenth the asset price of gold market. So it's going that direction. Let's talk about MicroStrategy and BlackRock being the owners of each of them own over 200,000 Bitcoin. It's almost 1% of the market, just 1% for MicroStrategy, 1% for BlackRock. We saw that $12 billion in capital has flowed into Bitcoin ETFs, electronically traded funds that have just opened 44 days ago. 12 billion in funds are rolling in um the day before the recording of this one billion dollars came in in just one day this is starting to become a normal thing over the past two months this has become the biggest etf of all time michael saylor also describes this as the equivalent of 10 companies there were 10 etf funds that were approved blackrock one of them there were a couple others i mean a grand total of 10 most of them you wouldn't know kathy wood arc was in there but it's the equivalent of 10 companies taking bitcoin public on the same day that's how he described it so we've got that we've got demand starting to accelerate we've got a bitcoin halving in a few weeks that will reduce the block reward size in half from six and a quarter down to three and an eighths, I think. So you've got a supply side shock that's baked into the equation with the Bitcoin halving, meaning that when you mine Bitcoin, you used to get 50 Bitcoin for every time you mined a block reward. Then it was set up so that after a period of transactions, it usually works out to about four years, but it's not set in stone. But after a period of transactions, that reward is then cut in half. So it goes from 50 to 25. It goes from 25 down to 12 and a half. It went from 12 and a half down to six and a quarter, which is where it has been for the last four years. And in a couple of weeks, it's going to cut itself in half again, down to three and an eighth. and so what that means is that there is going to be less supply made there's currently 900 bitcoins a day that are coming onto the market that's the way the math works that will be cut down to 450 so the demand is still there the supply is shrinking it's been cut in half not to mention the fact that between all these these tenant etfs there was they have bought about four percent of the total Bitcoin. You add micro strategy into that, which is not an ETF, but if you threw it all together, that's about 5%. 5% plus anywhere from 10% to 20% that just vanished over the 15 years of Bitcoin's existence, the lost forever. And you're talking about 25% of the coins off the market. Then add in that there's only a million and a half coins that will be created over the next 100 years and with with the bulk of them being produced in the next 10 years so by 2034 there's only gonna 99 of all bitcoins ever created will have been created so i ask you this question would you recognize the signs if you saw it it's getting adopted it's getting adopted by financial institutions that could probably make some people a little bit nervous that the black rocks of the world they in on it now deciding to buy it because you never want to you know you never feel good about them But I think even they realized that there demand for this and they can make money off of it. So the market has spoken. Oh, and just wait, just wait until corporations decide that instead of keeping their cash in a bank account, that's getting devalued by inflation every single year. Instead, they decide to do, let's put one or 2% of our cash in something else. Let's put it in Bitcoin. Let's put some in gold. Let's buy some gold. Let's buy some silver, whatever. They're going to start to figure it out. They're smart people. They're good at numbers. They're good at looking into the future. They see inflation. Wait till Apple and Microsoft and NVIDIA and Amazon and all these corporations out there decide that they're tired of their cash getting whittled away with inflation. And instead, they decide to buy something deflationary like Bitcoin. Okay. I mean, that's a reasonable thing to see coming. It's getting normalized. There's something called the network effect that makes everything happen at an accelerated rate. So keep your eyes on this. We've got an ethereum etf coming i know ethereum is not my favorite but but we've got it coming what it is is it's it's yet another step if it gets approved ginsler has to approve it but if it gets approved it's yet another step in showing the world that there that that cryptocurrencies are coming in and they're not leaving they're not some um they're not some fad central banks are responsible for 25% of all gold purchases that are happening right now. Just keep that in mind too. So again, you see what's happening with inflation. You saw what happened during COVID when they printed 80% of all dollars into existence in just a short period of time. You just have to have common sense and a very limited understanding of economics to know where that's going. they think that a central bank is behind the mr 100 account which is buying it's an ad it's a bitcoin address that's been buying 100 bitcoin every single day for the last 18 months i think that a central bank is is quietly behind that if it were an etf it would have exposed itself by now but they're not sure so somebody's out there taking a down a lot of bitcoin central banks are buying a lot of gold they see it they see what's coming do you can you i had uh i introduced tony arderburn to the stage um in acapulco and he crushed you know i mean there's the people out there the audience they understand there's a lot of them that are into crypto but they understand and appreciate gold and silver as well and so and tony appreciates bitcoin he's one of the first people to have a bitcoin atm so you don't have to be either or you don't have to be like oh i'm I'm 100% Bitcoin or I'm gold and silver. No, why? Why not everything? Why not have a little of everything? Why would you limit yourself on that? But they're all good for different reasons. They all do different things. They all have certain little flaws there too. So sound money. Sound money is what you're going for, right? But and Tony can talk to you about that. He's been a sponsor of this show for a while. I trust him completely. And if you're out there and you have questions about gold and silver and you don't have a ton of money to spend, he's got the Wolfpack, which I'm a member of as well, which is an auto buy program. It just buys you every single month, how you set up the amount it is, and maybe it's 500 bucks or 250 or a hundred bucks or 50 bucks or whatever it is. and and he'll buy you the best bang for your buck by he's buying in bulk for his hundreds if not i think over a thousand now members of wolf pack he's getting the best deal he can he can get they put it in the boxes and they give you the invoice and they send it to you don't have to think about it you have to know anything about silver or gold too so sometimes he puts these little one gram pieces of of gold in there too you know if you know it's all itemized on the list Let Tony pick it out for you. That's what I do. I don't know jack shit about which silver coin is the best one to have. I don't need to because I know Tony and Tony knows what the best is. Right. So you don't have to know it all. You just have to know a couple of the people that know it all. And he's one of them. So, I mean, as he says, he said, and I'm going to steal this and I'm going to use it, I think, forever. but he's got a great term he says fiat is fake it's the head of the snake he's damn right on that you recognize it your parents probably don't they grew up in a fiat world well they grew up in a fiat world that was where the dollar was at one point backed by gold so they probably understand it a little bit um bonds are trash defaults are expected to go through the roof um look I mentioned it before, I'll say it again. It's worth repeating. Legalized bank bail-ins cannot be ignored. They just can't be ignored. You cannot see what was going on with that and not think that's a huge problem. Remember how we talked about the Smith-Munt Act, living in peace and harmony, put together in 1948. Obama comes along with the Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, which changed that and legalized propaganda to be used on americans by america and you think well why would they change that unless they're going to use it right which of course that's why they changed it because they're going to use propaganda why would they legalize balance because they're going to use balance you you have to make this connect these dots don't require like you can you know conspiracy charts with like string and you know all that this is easy to figure out when the government legalizes something as awful as this it's because they intend to use it against you so if you know this and you do then honestly if you get caught it's kind of your fault at this part. If you know that the bail-ins are legalized and you keep a bunch of money in the bank and then they take your money, that's your problem. That's your fault at this point. You're going to be kicking yourself. Please, for the love of God, plan accordingly. Bank runs in many countries, expected, maybe even in America at some point. I want you to understand that every 90 days, the Federal Reserve prints $1 trillion of debt for the American government? Every 90 days, $1 trillion, $1,000 billion. You cannot do that to your currency and expect it to be healthy. You can't. Now, the order of collapse, which currency is going to go first? Which one's going to go last? I don't know. America is the American dollar is probably the best of the worst, but it's like being the smartest kid on the short bus. You're all going to special ed no matter what. And that's where the dollar is going to trash itself at some point. might be the last one i don't know who knows but but again when you have 34.5 trillion dollars in admitted debt that's not ever getting paid back it's just not you have it you have about god who knows over 100 trillion dollars for social security medicaid medicare welfare system post office all that stuff all these unfunded liabilities that you have you know a fact at least three maybe even 10 times more than than what the admitted 35 34.5 trillion dollars of debt is it's just math at some point you just it just you know can't be sustained every year social security needs 1.4 trillion dollars every year medicaid and medicare needs 1.74 trillion dollars every year this isn't stopping i would expect you want a prediction for 2024 and be on? Here's one. Expect the failures of many small and medium-sized banks. And as a result, as a couple of those start to go, you're going to see people that have their money in small and medium-sized banks look for bigger banks. Too big to fail. They know that there's a perception, a belief that, oh, those banks will survive. So you're going to pull your money out of the small and medium-sized and put them in the big banks. That action, which millions of people will take once they start to see these small and medium-sized other banks going bankrupt, and they will, it's coming. That action of recognizing that and saying, oh, I need to put my money in a bank that's safer. Oh God, please don't do that. But there's going to be plenty of people that don't understand the game. They're going to head to those big banks. And guess what? By doing that, You will, in fact, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy that you will make those big banks even stronger because you're going to be taking all your money and putting it in there and weakening in the process the small and medium-sized banks that you currently will be watching get wiped out. That will then accelerate that. And then there's going to be no competition, no other place for you to put your money except in a big bank or gold or silver or Bitcoin. or something like that. Choice is yours, but expect failures because it's coming. Commercial real estate defaults, I mean, they're going to be a contributing factor to this. We've already talked about the San Francisco doom loop sort of ad nauseum. So I'll spare you that recap. But you understand that when you start to see weakness in a commercial real estate sector, nothing stays limited to that sector right when that market falls it's tied to banks it impacts banks banks start to fall you know so again you small and medium-sized companies that are sitting on a bunch of commercial real estate debt those banks are already teetering now they've got to look at this building that they that they own the note on and what in san francisco or chicago or Philadelphia or some shithole Democrat-run city where they've decided that crime is imaginary and inflation is transitory and that safe injecting sites are reasonable and all that stuff, and you're some bank that's sitting on all this debt from commercial real estate as people are fleeing the cities, it's going to be a bloodbath in the commercial real estate market. It's already a bloodbath, but it's going to get worse. But just so you know, it doesn't stay contained to that. You may say, well, I don't have any exposure to commercial real estate. Yeah, but your bank does. So you do by default. And look, I mean, the government's going to have to make some decisions here, right? As they see tax revenue down, inflation through the roof, there's going to be some calculations maybe it even has to do with a changeover presidencies um but they're going to have to cut back on subsidizing the electronic electric vehicle industry and once that happens that industry is going to crash like when they can no longer subsidize electric cars and all that woke bullshit that goes along with it then there's going to be no market for electric cars you're already starting to see automobile manufacturers pivot away from fully electric vehicles to hybrid vehicles because they like them better and because the people like them better there's more demand for them oh and by the way just wait until that first batch of electric vehicle batteries start to go bad and then the word gets out on that that's going to be a tremendous public relations disaster for the ev industry and when that happens and it will because again this is this is just science those batteries run out at some point and when you need to get a new new battery for your honda civic you can go down to uh you know the auto parts store and pick one up for 100 bucks you need to get a new battery for your tesla it's 26 000 your chevy volt that cost 30 000 and you take it in and they say, yeah, well, we can replace your battery. You need a new battery, pal. Oh man. Okay. What's it going to cost me? Two, 300 bucks? No, 20,000 bucks. And you go, what? My car's not even worth that. Well, I don't know what to tell you, man. You shouldn't have bought this car. That's coming. It sounds like I'm a crazy person saying that because it hasn't happened yet, but you always sound crazy when you're early, but that's coming. Again, not Nostradamus and I'm not an engineer and I'm not a mechanic I'm just somebody that has common sense oh and by the way Day Zero the show I do once a week with Corey Hughes and Lindsey Sharman and X-Cubed X-Cubed 420 works my man he works at a at a service an automobile service desk and he sees these things and i asked him the question is it really like 20 something thousand dollars for the battery he says oh yeah oh you should see the blood drain out of their face when you have to tell them that it's over for them so that's reality the dependence on china for rare earth minerals for your evs good luck with that you want to start a hot war with them anyway so So we've got banking issues. We've got currency issues. We've got commercial real estate issues. It's a problem. Locally, though, in New York City, in the local New York City economy, as if the general economy isn't bad enough, they are spending $387 per illegal immigrant per day on food and housing. We can round that up. that's only $13 away from 400 bucks. And you just say 400 bucks a day, every day for every illegal alien in New York city. How many are in there? I take a guess. How many are in New York city? 64,800 of them. You want to do the math? It's by the way, it's $10,000 per illegal alien per month. that's $120,000 a year per person in New York City to take care of them enjoy your sanctuary city status you dipshit Eric Adams enjoy I don't want to hear any complaining from you you ran on that policy your predecessor ran on that policy you thought it was stunning and brave deal with it tough shit your problem now use your democrat common core math to figure it out dummy not my problem um but this economic death spiral is unfortunately connected to the societal death spiral let's get into that this is uh what we talk about with demo the the decriminalization in these democratic run shithole cities that they that they talk about how how progressive they are and how we're reimagining uh crime really did you tell the criminals that because they're that well i guess they're reimagining crime too they've figured out that crime does pay nobody goes to jail for it you can organize this into uh groups of people that are shoplifting crews i even saw a lady in san diego a husband and wife in san diego who she looked like a she looked like a karen if i've ever seen one like a liberal white woman living in a multi-million dollar house in san diego getting busted for running a massive shoplifting ring where she was sending out orders to these people flying them all over the country to go steal as much mascara as they can get from ulta i mean the american experiment is over people i mean when when woke democrat white karen millionaires in san diego are running shoplifting rings like pack your bags man it's getting weird um talk for those of you in oakland listening to this first of all thoughts and prayers uh second of all don't don't plan on going inside a taco bell anytime in the near future because taco bells have closed dining areas in oakland stores and they are now cashless and the reason for that is because the people that live in oakland that go to taco boat are such out of control animals that they can even be allowed in the store anymore i mean you need to understand something and you need to get this through your head and you need to know it Private property will no longer be protected by the state. Understand that. You are now fully responsible for protecting your own private property. You should have always been, frankly. But this idea that you're going to call the police to come on over and sort this whole thing out someone's broken into your house and is broken into your car or they've done it stop those days are over they're not answering calls anymore do you see what was going on in pittsburgh in pittsburgh they said do not call the police the police stations are closed from 3 a.m until 7 a.m i think it was or two to two to seven i don't know a couple hours in there like a four or five hour window they just said uh all calls to the police are going to the answering machine voicemail i yeah i'm you think i'm kidding i'm not i know you know i'm not kidding uh but in this societal component of the death spiral you will see things that you never thought you would see before you will hear of crimes being committed that you just think, there's no way. This has to be fake. You have to be making this up, right? Crimes such as 320,000 illegal aliens have been flown in, flown in on airplanes by the Biden administration to 43 different airports around the United States. i'm going to say that again just so that you understand the biden administration not all not content to just let seven million plus people come across the southern border on foot they took to flying them around 320 000 people have been flown into different so they want them distributed throughout the country they want them to be if they didn't want them to be they wouldn't have flown them there right that's how it works over seven think about that over seven million people have been flown have come into the united states through the southern border and then 320 000 of them are getting loaded up on airplanes and flown around the place if not being just flown directly in internationally which is happening so what do you do right what do you do in a situation like this you do what new york is doing we're going to bring in the national guard to patrol the subways oh really are you you could you know like enforce laws if you wanted to do that no no no we're bringing the national guard into the subway so that they can do this theater where they pretend like they're there to protect you the national guards in subways in new york didn't stop a person from getting shot in the head i don't know if you saw those videos of the person and then everyone on the train like laying down like like sitting ducks in a train waiting to be killed by some lunatic what's the national guard doing there they're not they can't stop that but not to be outdone philadelphia saw this and said we want the same thing. We want the National Guard for us as well. No, no, no, no, no. You had Larry Krasner, the woke Soros district attorney that decriminalized everything. You get to suffer from your own consequences. I don't want to hear any complaining in Philadelphia about, oh, we need the National Guard here to help us with this crime problem. No, you deal with that yourself. You fucking deal with that yourself. You deal with all those people. That's your problem. you wanted it you got it you want to be a we're a sanctuary city you wanted it you got it you want you want to pay four hundred dollars you want to pay a hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year per illegal alien they better be going to harvard not that harvard's any good anymore but you know what i mean but this is part of a plan of course this is using illegal aliens to shift voting demographics that's a thing it's a long-term thing i mean you can steal elections you can manipulate uh dominion voting machines and die bold machines and all that stuff i mean you could do that and they do that but you can also harvest ballots and do the mail-in ballots and all that and distribute illegal aliens all over the country tell them to vote tell them that you're not going to check anything tell them remember vote blue no matter who you know and do it that way you know the great replacement theory that everybody says is white supremacy and ill and and and a conspiracy theory and all that stuff it isn't theoretical it's happening open your eyes it's right in front of you it's not some theory it's an actuality you can see it it doesn't make you racist for pointing it out and recognizing it, it makes you observant. I mean, they would love for you to think, oh, you talk about that stuff. You have to be a white supremacist. No, you just have to be somebody with eyeballs and a functioning brain. You can see it right in front of you. Clower and Piven on a full scale national level. That's what this is. Overwhelm the system until it breaks and then rebuild it the way you want it. That's what this is. Here's a quote from Joe Biden. And I'm not making this up, though it's going to sound like I am. Quote, I'm counting on the border action happening by itself. What in the world are you talking about? By the way, what border action are you talking about? That's very vague. Because the border inaction isn't happening by itself. It's happening because you're making it happen, Joe Biden, or whoever's running you. Susan Rice, Obama, Trilateral Commission. Joe Biden gives a State of the Union address. He refers to Lakin Riley, the college student from the University of Georgia, who was murdered by an illegal that was let in by the Biden administration. he first of all mispronounces her name during the state of the union and says that she was killed by an illegal which is true one of the few true things he said he then apologized after the state of the union for using the word illegal when describing the guy who murdered the college student. He apologized for using the term illegal. He apologized to the general public. He didn't apologize for her getting murdered. He didn't apologize for butchering her name. He didn't apologize for allowing 7 million people to come through the board. He apologized for calling the person illegal. Well, let me ask you a question. When the law says you're not allowed to come into this country and then that person comes into the country are they breaking a law yes or no the answer is yes does that make them illegally in the country yes or no the answer is yes so was the person illegal yes this isn't calculus this is common sense joe biden apologized to the leftists the lunatic left that's running his administration for using the term illegal when describing a guy who murdered a college girl those are our priorities right now just so that you know um we pivot to the gender and climate cult this is a transition surgery is set to be a five billion dollar industry pretty soon and um if you want to you know if you if you're if you're looking for additional criteria and in which to, to use before you agree that we are in a societal death spiral, then how about this? The removal of words is part of this agenda. It's very Marxist. It's what you do when you're on the losing side of history. Um, it's part of this cult. It's one of the things that they do. They love to remove words. And it, Another thing that they really enjoy doing is to elevate marginal talent based on race, not on actual talent, of course, or skills or anything like that. Just some arbitrary metric like the color of the spacesuit that you're wearing. They love this. This belief system of elevating marginal talent and treating it as if it's excellence is a belief system that must be forced on the general public through a variety of methods. This is the idea. This is the wokeism ideology. Let me just put it to you like this. Okay. they hide this agenda they don't want you to know that they're elevating marginal talent because even they know that's crazy you know they're like we have to have the right number of black women flying airplanes no no no no let me let me clear this up no we don't we need to have the right number of talented airline pilots flying these airplanes. Period. End of story. I don't care what they look like. I never see them. I rarely see. Maybe when you're getting off the plane, the pilot's standing there going, hey, what's up? A lot of times they get off the plane first and they're out of there. I don't care what my pilot looks like. I care that my pilot graduated at the top of his class or has plenty of experience. You know what I don't want? I don't want somebody in there checking a diversity box. I don't need that. I don't care about that. I don't want that. Boeing's having a pretty awful year. If you haven't noticed, maybe it's wokeism. But let me just put it to you. And of course, they don't want you to know that they're elevating marginal talent. They want you to think that these people are the best. We're just finally recognizing these diamonds in the rough because the white man has kept them down all this time. maybe maybe yes i don't know it ain't me but let me let me just say this if you need to hide or embed your agenda then your agenda is trash and you'll need to maintain that lie forever okay because in a normal healthy society you don't need to hide the agenda but you do when you're up to no good all right lastly the educational death spiral let's talk about this college the cost of college is up 1200 percent since 1980 now you may say oh that's inflation no inflation only accounts for 232 percent of that total which isn't great i'm not gonna lie That's not great either. But it still leaves another roughly 1,000% unaccounted for. Now, if your college experience was getting 10 times better than it was before, maybe you could justify that. But it's not. Frankly, it's getting 10 times worse than it was before. So you've got that to look forward to if you've got kids that are college getting ready to go to college at some point. But what do you even get when you go through college? Honestly, what do you get? You get a diploma that says you graduated from that college? Great. How many people ask you for your diploma? Really, when you apply for a job? They're on your resume. I'm not encouraging people to lie on their resume. I'm just saying, when has anybody checked? Maybe they have. what if what if on your resume you you have to admit that you went to high school in baltimore or chicago where nobody knows how to read or do math what about that this is a a joke the education system is coming unraveled the average kid that goes from high school into college is two years behind on their math that means that the first two years of college they need to take math classes that they should have already completed in high school and they should be well ahead of that by the time they hit the ground in their freshman year in college but they're not they're behind they're behind for a variety of reasons they're behind because common core was introduced and of course common core is a time bomb uh for these kids that destroys them and uh you know but it's undeniable they're behind in math in america we're getting lapped because the american school system is focused on absurdities and nonsense and things that nobody cares about like third bathrooms in california which is now mandatory they're putting in a third bathroom for all the trans kids out there don't you know um they are focused on removing words from the language words that you're not allowed to to use anymore they're focused on inserting certain types of books into the school libraries my two mommies or watch this guy suck me off uh you know whatever the the books are i mean the books are fucking crazy the books are crazy i mean the books are porn and it is totally inappropriate to the point where in this in the the the after school uh big meetings that they have you know like the the school board meetings where parents are allowed to come to the microphone and say something you'll have parents that will come and they will start reading the books out loud on the microphone to the student to the to the school board that's there in the audience and the school board will have them thrown out for saying those words because they're so pornographic in nature and this is a family environment and you're not supposed to read these these words from that book well those books are in the libraries for the kids showing you know the the utter clown show that this is right activist group in california is paying fourteen hundred dollars to teens who undergo social justice training paid for with taxpayer money of course then you've got the gender agenda you've got the dei gutting education look i mean i don't want to be you know like the black pill is the psyop right once they get you thinking that it's hopeless then you start acting like it's hopeless and you let your guard down don't do that all right let's not be black pilled here but let's also not pretend like we don't see these things because we do and we're right we're using logic and reason and understanding we're digging in a little bit more we're not just taking what these people say at face value we take a look at who they are who they're financed by we find big problems with it we're doing the work we're doing what we're supposed to be doing and what we're recognizing is that we have the four horsemen of the american death spiral military financial societal educational we've got massive problems with all of them this is being engineered to happen it's not it's not accidental the the four horsemen are riding into town and everyone is starting to understand what's coming 2023 was the biggest year for bankruptcy since 2010 despite what that asshole that i mentioned like an hour ago said about how how everything's fine even though you know how could we have all these bankruptcies in such a great economy uh because we don't have a great economy dipshit that's why 642 corporate bankruptcies ftx went bankrupt silicon valley bank first republic bank we work yellow trucking party city bird dead spin right aid bed bath and beyond well i mean that's just 2023 get ready for the rest of them but i bring it back to where i started would you recognize the signs when you see them they're flashing in our faces you just have to pay attention hey if you like this episode you can take the additional step right now of sharing it with your friends and family you can go to the website, macroaggressions.io. It's a good place to go. Thanks, everybody. I'll talk to you again soon. Thank you.
