Uncertainty In The Marketplace 00:15:04
Welcome Making Sense of the Madness.
I am Jason Burmese and today we're going to be talking to Mark Shapline about the global economy, Bitcoin exploding to a million dollars or more.
We're also going to be talking to Kevin Tuttle of my Q streaming.
How can we defund the deep state together?
And we're going to be talking Carrie Lake and her announcement for the run for Senate with Zach Payne.
Buckle up and get ready to make sense of the madness.
Conflict and turmoil are kicking off globally right now.
And there's no better business to be in than the business of war.
Right now, military-industrial complex stocks are soaring.
That includes Lockheed Martin.
That includes Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Boeing, you name it.
And unfortunately, this is an indication that these conflicts are not going to be short ones, at least if you believe the market and the speculators.
And that's where I want to begin today's program with Mark Shafline of the Shafline Report.
Mark here is our economic guru.
And Mark, obviously, within the last couple of days after the incident in Palestine and Israel, we now have these markets booming.
And to me, obviously, this is worrisome, but at the same time, people are taking economic advantage.
In your mind, what should people be doing right now?
Listen, one thing in one of the oldest axioms in the market is don't fight the tape.
And when interest rates had spiked about a week ago and the 10-year note got around 4.85, that's when all of a sudden buyers came into the bond market.
And with that, amazingly, interest rates started to come down.
So there was a belief in the marketplace that in actuality, rates may have peaked.
And what's that done?
Well, it set off about a 400-point rally in the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the past four or five days.
And the markets are up again today.
So you've got a belief out there that interest rates, which were rising to combat inflation, may, and I really emphasize that word, may have peaked.
And obviously, we're not going to know for a couple of weeks if that's the case.
But something inside me tells me we haven't seen the peak yet.
And let me share with you why.
Oil prices are escalated right now.
Why?
Well, of course, there's conflict in the Middle East that generally leads to higher oil prices.
You have tighter supplies right now because you have refineries out in certain parts of the Middle East.
China's economy's not rebounded as fast as it normally would.
Had the Chinese economy rebounded from their draconian COVID steps, oil could easily be over $100 right now.
So when you take into consideration tighter supplies and then what's happening in the Middle East, there is a recipe there where you could see oil spike.
If that happens, interest rates will go back up because that will feed into the inflation model.
Now, right now, again, things are looking pretty good in the marketplace.
The 10-year note has come down.
It's trading closer to 4.6 than it was to 4.8.
So the market is telling you right now that rates may have been up there for a while, but they're coming down.
And folks, I will tell you this: if interest rates do settle closer to four than they do to five, you could see a rip-roaring rally in this stock market in Q4.
Now, Jason, as to your comments about the defense stocks, boy, you could not be more right.
I mean, let's think about what's happening here.
The Israeli government has made a decision they are going to eradicate, eradicate Hamas.
That's going to be a long and difficult campaign.
They're going to need support.
They're going to need munitions.
Where's that help going to come from?
From the United States.
So when you take that, coupled with the ongoing escalations in Ukraine, and again, you're right.
We're going to, if you've turned on your television set for the past five days, have you seen any stories about Ukraine other than Zelensky talking about the comparisons between what Russia did and what Hamas did?
Not much.
And it used to be on the front burner all the time.
So you're going to continually get a stream of information coming out of Israel and coming out of Gaza.
And again, left-wing outlets are going to show the crying babies and the death of innocent civilians, and they're going to try to put the blame on Israel.
We've already seen shocking scenes of two congressmen in this country doing that.
And then on the other hand, the reality sets in, and the Israelis and Ukrainians, if Congress continues funding Ukraine at the level it has and we increase the funding for Israel, Jason, how can these defense stocks do anything but continue to rise?
Absolutely.
And this encourages that global conflict, which makes me even more worried.
And I remember all the way back in my AP history days, my teacher would always say, you know, if the economy is a little stale, nothing like a good war to get it going.
And unfortunately, that seems to be history repeating itself right now.
But at the same time, the U.S. Treasury are seeing longer bear markets than they did in the financial crisis of 2008 and the 2000 dot-com crash.
So really, I'm seeing quite the dichotomy here.
Right now, the market doing well.
Maybe that's just on the basis of these military conflicts and their future.
But at the same time, with this marker, the problem that we are in a system of fiat and the dollar is less stable than it was five years ago.
Yeah, but here's the thing that you had happen on the worst bond market route, really dating back to 2008.
Think about this.
We had a 10-year note hovering around 1%.
1%.
It was like, no wonder.
I mean, can you imagine buying an instrument like that?
Well, a lot of banks did.
That's why we had the insolvency crisis earlier this year of Silicon Valley Bank and a handful of others.
But you had a 400 basis point increase in about an 18-month time period.
That is a massive shock to the system.
Will other dominoes fall as a result of that?
I don't know.
But that was the shocker that you're talking about, where that route was so severe, it was intense.
Because again, folks, as yields go up, that means prices are falling.
Bond works the inverse relationship to the stock market.
So as an example, the other day when rates peaked out at about 4.8%, now they're down to 4.6, people have made money as bonds have increased in value.
Jason, with what you showed on your graph, it was just the opposite.
And 400 basis points is a massive move.
Now, the question a lot of people are asking is, where will the Fed go from here?
There were a lot of bears in the marketplace that got caught short because they thought that the Fed funds rate would be hitting 5%, not trending towards 4.5%.
So, there's a lot of internal turmoil going on in the marketplace.
And generally, these things have to sort themselves out.
You know, Warren Buffett had that old saying: you see who's naked when they swim with the tide, when the tide goes out.
Look, there's some dynamics in this marketplace right now that you just can't have 400 basis points of increases without having some type of an effect.
And it's going to be problematic at a certain point.
But if the inflation rate does come down, then you could see these rates come down.
Let me throw one other factor out for you here that your audience is going to want to hear about.
The U.S. debt is now $33 trillion.
We have a debt that greatly exceeds our GDP.
Most economists will tell you if you have a debt equal to your GDP, you can tolerate that.
We're in a situation here where, and it wasn't just under Biden, but it happened under President Trump too, where the deficit has exploded and entitlements make up 60% of it.
Interest on the debt and other mandatory pieces of the federal government is 10%.
And then you've got about 30% left.
Half is discretionary, half is military.
Well, you're certainly not going to have any cuts in military spending.
You're going to have increases in it, most likely.
So these trillion-dollar deficits are going to continue.
And Jason, if the interest rates remain elevated, that's going to be a bigger chunk of the deficit the U.S. has to finance.
And boy, long term, that is very problematic, not just for our government, but for governments across the world.
Mark, I'm not even sure it's long term.
Right now, I'm looking short term in the next 12 to 18 months because what you're really describing when out of control is at the end of the Trump administration, especially during the heightened fear of the COVID-19 44 nightmare, our economy was flooded with dollars like never before, just giving away this fiat currency.
Unfortunately, it has not been corrected.
And then you talk about the debt.
We saw the largest escalation in the shortest amount of time just a couple of months ago when it literally jumped a trillion dollars in one month.
Again, unprecedented.
And when you talk about those notes, to put that into perspective, when you have a 10-year note on 1%, folks, that means you put in $100 and you make $101.
That obviously cannot withstand the rate of any type of inflation over 10 years, let alone the hyperinflation, even though we're not calling that over the last 18 to 36 months, where you have literally seen everyday goods go up 25 to 50 and sometimes 60%, Mark.
So what do people invest in to protect their wealth?
Listen, a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds, gold.
Again, I'm not going to get into some of the crazy crypto type stuff because I'm not a believer in that.
Next segment, you will.
I know you're going to talk about that.
But having a balanced portfolio, real estate, stocks, bonds, I find over time, if you can balance yourself out, not be exposed to any one sector too much, then over a period of time, stocks generally return about 8%.
Bonds right now, you can get good, good quality bonds in the 5% to 6% range.
You don't have to buy treasuries.
There's good corporates out there.
You can even, some of them get 7%, 8%, 9%.
The higher the yield, the higher the risk that you have.
But balancing out a portfolio is normally pretty good advice regardless of what your objectives are.
Now, if you're in your 20s or 30s, skew it more towards the stock market over a period of time.
That's generally been good advice.
However, we've never had $33 trillion in debt.
We have a situation where we have two hotspots, Europe and the Middle East that are at war right now.
There's a lot of uncertainty out there.
And the pieces that you talked about about the risks involved by having these spike in interest rates right now, you know, it hasn't done this before.
So there's a lot of things out there that could cause issues.
So I always find if you keep your portfolio a little bit balanced and over a period of time, pay close attention to it.
In other words, don't put everything in the hottest thing of the sector, like artificial intelligence earlier this year.
You know, Bitcoin a year ago, I know we're going to talk about that.
Put a small percentage of your assets into precious metals, gold, silver, what, platinum, whatever your desire on that, because over a period of time, those have held their values.
And it's no coincidence that people who have built successful portfolios, and I'm not just talking about billionaire investors, but everyday Americans, it makes you rest a little bit easier at night knowing you can have things balanced.
Absolutely.
And having that security is one of those things that you need for peace of mind.
So you can have a plan in the case of disaster and these unprecedented times on so many levels.
As you said, we haven't seen this before.
We haven't seen a presidential election like we're about to see before.
And quite frankly, we haven't seen the type of conflict in the Middle East coupled with Europe and Russia at the same time in this manner ever before.
When we come back, we're going to talk kooky investments.
We're going to talk Bitcoin to the moon, a million dollars or more.
It's Making Sense of the Madness, back after this.
Banks are supposed to be the safest placeholders for cash in the world.
But in 2022, that changed.
The Federal Reserve pulled out 2.5 trillion of liquidity out of the banks, and the Fed also changed the requirements so banks don't need to keep any funds on hand.
This means banks are starved for liquidity and have now become very dangerous places to hold your assets.
Get out of the system with the world's safest and most private assets, silver and gold.

Cryptocurrency's Rollercoaster Ride 00:09:06
we are back with mark shaft line of the shaft line rapport and let's talk cryptocurrency now Now, I've been hyper-aware of cryptocurrency literally from its inception.
I was having Max Kaiser on my InfoWars broadcast all the way back in 2009 when Bitcoin was under a buck and everybody was like, well, you know, the big story was then that somebody paid for their pizza in Bitcoin when it was around 18 cents and they got that pie.
Boy, if people actually held on to it in a USB stick and knew what to do with it at that time, they made a killing on that pizza.
It's derived an entire market.
And it's also put this technology called blockchain on the forefront, not just for digital currencies, but digital currencies that are not only incorporated into the internet of things, but now the internet of bodies with blockchain people, smart contracts, and beyond.
We now have the happening coming just in the next month in November.
A lot of people are talking about it.
The last time this happened with Bitcoin, it did spike up.
And I've been around from the, it was a buck to a few hundred to a thousand to a few thousand to ten thousand to fifteen thousand and then back down.
Sometimes this thing lost 80% of its value.
The last spike that we saw was around $60,000 and then quickly dropped down to about 23K, I think within about a week's time in a plummet.
That's a lot, folks.
So you're talking about it losing almost 65% of its value in what seemed like a pump and dump scheme.
If this stuff was done on Wall Street and regulated, it would be hard to say it was something otherwise.
But because it is not regulated and it is quote unquote decentralized, it is able to do that.
So, Mark, I've rambled, I've ranted.
What are your thoughts on Bitcoin to a million?
Should people be invested in crypto?
Is there other crypto maybe that people should look at?
And how much of their portfolio should be in crypto?
Yeah, if you just going along the lines of what I said before, the answer to that is somewhere probably between zero and 10%.
And let me break down why.
You know, Bitcoin's not the only coin out there.
I mean, there's Ethereum, there's a handful of others.
Bitcoin is the most widely followed.
It's among the most valuable and it's traded on a global basis.
So you're right.
If you can stomach buying an asset and possibly having it go down 65% in a relatively short period of time, my hat's off to you.
There were a lot of people that made a lot of money on the way up, but Bitcoin sort of reminds me of the old adage on Wall Street: you take the escalator up and you take the elevator down, meaning steps up and then take that elevator down.
So like any asset, I would keep a relatively relatively small piece of that in your portfolio if you're a believer in that asset class.
And a lot of people are, and 5%, 10%, somewhere around that level.
But I want to caution you about the manipulation that happens on not only Bitcoin, Ethereum, but some of the other coins too, the copycat coins, I like to call them.
A lot of the ownership and the pricing of this comes out of China and North Korea.
Now, needless to say, if you put those actors on a stage, that's not someone you actually want to be partnered up with.
But just recognize that you hear stories like that, but then Jason's going to crack and say, yeah, Mark, but we really don't know.
And he's right about that because of the fact that it is so decentralized.
No one knows at any one time who owns what.
Whereas in the stock market, they have what's called transfer agents.
At any given time, shareholders of pick a company, Apple, IBM, Boeing, Lockheed, like we've talked about earlier today, you know exactly who owns that stock.
And every hedge fund, every quarter, has to file a report showing what they own at a specific period of time ending each quarter.
So unlike traditional stocks and bonds where the ownership is known, it's widely diversified on the coins, and it could be literally anywhere in the world.
And I want to remind people that this is still a digital technology.
So, you know, we've seen in the past digital technologies that were at the forefront and figured that they were unbeatable.
And then all of a sudden, they fell down by the wayside.
And with any type of government regulation, no matter how decentralized Bitcoin is, you can replace it.
We've already seen stable coins like USDC, backed by what, Goldman Sachs and other large banks.
When you talk about the decentralization and the location of these things, let's not forget this started as something that you could mine via graphics cards.
And many people would go to second and third world nations where the energy prices were much cheaper and set these things up in order to turn massive profits.
I got to admit, I got a little bit of money in Bitcoin.
I got a little bit of money in Ethereum and a few on the alternates.
But folks, there's nothing like waking up to losing half of your wealth.
And it's happened a couple of times.
But hey, every once in a while I wake up and it's a 20, 30% increase.
And maybe it's a little, hey, we did it all right.
Just putting it out there.
We got one more story for you today, Mark.
It's always a pleasure having you on, by the way.
Thanks.
The Chinese economic situation.
We've talked about it here.
Almost nowhere in the media is this being discussed.
And the question is: is authoritarianism and centralization really the reason that these are going under?
Because we know that banking in general is rather, I'll be generous, cartel-like, Mark.
You've got some fundamental problems in the Chinese economy right now, and it really starts with young people.
I mean, China's got an unemployment rate for people under the age of 30 approaching 20%.
That's not hyperbole, folks.
That's a real problem.
And anytime you have a top-down economy where it's controlled by, let's call it what it is, the Chinese Communist Party dictates what's happening in the economy in China.
It's not a free economy.
Why do you think a lot of U.S. companies have left China and gone to neighboring countries like Vietnam, where I was earlier this year?
I saw it firsthand.
And other Southeast Asia countries, A, labor's cheaper.
B, they don't have to deal with the Chinese Communist Party.
Now, there's other, let's just say, not perfect governments around the world, but a lot of them are what I call communist capitalist.
That's not how things are operating in China.
So anytime you have this top-down situation in control, which does come clearly out of China from Xi Jinping all the way down to the Chinese Communist Party and the Central Committee, it's problematic.
And when you see just how they operate, you know, you've seen stories now with the Israeli situation where China has been buying oil from Iran and a lot of it.
Well, let's just say the Israelis decide to take out Iranian oil fields.
What do you think is going to happen to the Chinese economy if the price of oil spikes?
It's not going to be good.
And then think about what you had earlier this year, too.
You had the Chinese government clamping down on U.S.-based businesses.
Even Apple couldn't escape that, despite all the tens of thousands of people that Apple employs in the country.
So I'd be very careful about that.
Given the instability in the Middle East, we don't know how Israel is going to address the Iranian situation.
The Wall Street Journal ran a story the other day, said Iran was clearly involved in the planning of this and the financing of it.
Well, then they sort of backpedaled on that story a little bit.
So we really don't know.
If the Israelis associate the Iranians and have clear evidence tying them to this, you know, those oil fields might not no longer be off limits.
So that could have a dramatic effect on what's happening in China, too.
So I would be very cautious about that.
But clearly, in an authoritarian country, Jason, top down is not necessarily the way to go.
Yeah, let's hope that things aren't going to escalate with Iran and such, because quite frankly, I don't want to be in any type of a military conflict with China under any circumstances.
Qstreaming's Solution 00:04:38
Mark, let the audience know where they can find your stuff.
ShaftlineReport.com.
We're on every Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Yesterday we had Dr. Michael Busler, who's an economist at Stockton University in New Jersey, writes for Newsmax periodically.
We had a great economic discussion.
And listen, there's a lot happening in the world right now.
And we try to cut through the propaganda, tell you straight, just like you do on your show, Jason.
And it's always a pleasure being with you.
You're always love having you.
Thank you so much.
We'll see you in a couple weeks, Mark.
When we come back, we're going to be talking defunding the deep state with myqstreaming.com and Kevin Tuttle back after this with more making sense of the Madness.
My employees and I are excited to announce it's our 20th anniversary.
And to celebrate, we're bringing you a limited edition My Pillow.

When I got my pillow, I'm asleep almost immediately.
I stay asleep at night and I wake up more well-rested in the morning.
My patented fill adjusts to your exact individual needs and helps keep your neck supported in line.
That's why we've been around for 20 years because MyPillow works.
Go to mypillow.com or call the number on your screen.
Use your promo code to get your limited edition 20th anniversary MyPillow queen size.
Retails for $69.98, now only $19.98.
That's right, only $19.98.
With my 60-day money-back guarantee, you have nothing to lose.
Sick of paying big money for cable for the package that you don't even want, empowering large corporations like Comcast, Time Warner, and beyond?
Well, we might have the solution for you right here.
Kevin Tuttle is joining us to talk about myqstreaming.com.
And Kevin, this is a great, affordable alternative to cable that actually gives you a great package.
Tell us about it.
Yeah, what QStreaming is, it's the alternative way to get out of this evil society that all these woke companies are promoting.
They always want to give to organizations that we don't agree with as conservatives.
We don't want to fund Planned Parenthood, excuse me.
We don't want to fund Planned Parenthood and all these other leftist organizations.
Well, what QStreaming does, it allows you the freedom to express the First Amendment, right?
All these other organizations, streaming services, and even like DirecTV and Dish Network, they want to censor conservative voices.
So they remove shows like News or channels like Newsmax and OAN and Infowars and things like that.
Well, those channels are all on QStreaming.
QStreaming is also implementing podcasts and networks like yours, like AMP News.
That will be a channel available on QStreaming shortly.
So it's allowing the First Amendment to rule again.
You know, if you want to watch MSNBC because it's fun to watch leftists, I understand.
And you can see that on Qstreaming.
But what I'm saying is both sides are there.
So there's no censorship that takes place.
The only thing that is not available on QStreaming are pornography channels.
Well, that's always a good thing, especially for this audience.
Explain to people how it works, because with modern day technology, everybody's got a computer in their home that has the capability to hook up to a large television.
We've got these small devices that you can literally Airstream to.
What does myqstreaming.com provide in the use of a graphic user interface?
So, yeah, I mean, you can watch it on various platforms, on your computer, on your cell phone, on your smart TVs, but it works best with the Firestick 4K Max.
You can download then the QStreaming app onto that, and it's very seamless, and you could take it anywhere in the world with you, like I did.
Bomb Shelter Talk 00:02:33
I actually just moved to Israel eight weeks ago.
So I'm here in perfect timing for what's going on.
I actually have my office here in our bomb shelter, not thinking that I would need to use the bomb shelter for bomb shelter reasons, but we're ready now if the need arises.
And because you brought it up, I was going to bring it up a little later on, obviously moving there within the last couple of months and seeing what we've seen in the last week.
You're in the bomb shelter.
What is your sense of what's going around you, going on around you?
My sense is that this is actually the calm before the storm.
You know, what's happening right now in Gaza is unbelievable.
The sea, the north is just ramping up with Lebanon and Syria there.
So, you know, I think it's probably as calm as it's going to be moving forward for the next foreseeable future.
I don't anticipate life as normal for the foreseeable future.
And, you know, my heart goes out to the lives lost.
You know, I'm actually close with some army units, Israeli army units here.
And, you know, they've lost a lot of soldiers and the innocent lives on both sides, frankly.
I'm not for innocent lives lost on either side.
So I think it's an atrocious situation overall, but I also think it has to happen.
Hezbollah and Hamas have been doing this to Israel for many, many years.
And the only way to solve this is to kind of cut the head off the snake because I was watching a podcast with Dennis Prager the other day, and he said it perfectly when he stated, because it's so profound, he says, I quote, what would happen if Israel laid down its arms or if the Palestinians laid down their arms?
In the latter case, there would be peace within a week.
In the first case, there would be genocide.
You saw what would happen if the Palestinians were allowed free reign in Israel.
And, you know, Gola Mair also, she said, peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
And I think both of those things are so true.
You know, Israel does want peace and they're just not allowed to exist.
Everybody wants to make sure Jews are eliminated from the face of the earth.
Why Arizona's Independent Candidate Matters 00:14:38
And that's as God's chosen people, whether you like that or not, as God's chosen people, going back to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, those are the facts.
And it's not going to happen.
The Jews will be here to the end.
So getting back to MyQStreaming and the media aspects of this and having channels such as InfoWars and OAN and Newsmax on there, one of the other great things about this is that you also get some of the international news channels so that you can see outside of just the U.S. perspective of what's going on, correct?
Well, currently, those are in the works.
So QStreaming will be in various countries where they'll have those local channels available.
Right now, that is not available, but so it's only American programming.
So for us, living here, having that 4K Max, that Firestick 4K Max, where we can watch it on our smart TV, you can also put the URL in your smart TV if you want.
You just go to myqstreaming.com and put in your information.
So it's very simple in either way.
But, you know, it helps us connect back to the states, you know, even with things like sports.
You know, for $59.99 a month, you are getting so much programming.
You'll get every NFL football game.
You'll get every college football game, baseball packages, all of that stuff is for $59.99 a month.
It's unreal.
You won't find that comparison anywhere else.
The NFL Sunday ticket this year on YouTube, they were asking $450 just alone for that ticket.
Plus, you have to pay $70 to $80 a month for YouTube streaming.
Well, that's not the case with QStreaming.
It's $59.99 a month, no extra charges.
You even get pay-per-view, those big MMA fights and whatnot that typically cost $80, $90, $100, also included.
You don't have to pay anything extra.
So it's a great way to get out of the system of big tech and censorship and to promote patriots and organizations like AMP News, where 10% of what you're paying for Q streaming every month goes back to AMP News to help you guys have a voice and help those conservative voices be heard.
Myqstreaming.com is the website.
Go order today and get my QStreaming.
Kevin, thank you so much for joining us when we come back.
We're going to come back talking to Zach Payne about the Cary Lake run for Senate.
She got the screw job as governor.
Can she win here?
That and more after this on Making Sense of the Madness.
Hi, this is Sean Morgan with an AMP Consumer Report.
You know, most small businesses are actually owned by conservatives and most small businesses accept credit cards and debit cards.
But who is their credit card processor?
Is it a woke corporation that could debank them?
Well, Jesse Siegel of Card Solutions is here to explain what he does and why he's better than a big corporation.
Thanks, Sean.
So what I do is I eliminate a business's credit card processing expenses by using our dual pricing program that can be utilized with any of our software and hardware solutions.
That's great.
So my understanding is you do the point of sale and you also do the merchant services.
So you do it all under one umbrella.
Can you explain that?
So if you're a restaurant, you're going to need a point of sale system to track your inventory and to keep track of your employees.
And so I provide that.
And if you're just a regular retail business, I can provide small devices as well.
Okay, great.
And also what I understand is people can call you practically 24-7 and these other corporations, they can maybe wait on the phone.
Correct.
So a lot of sales reps are jumping into this business.
They sign you up and they forget about you.
My customers can reach me seven days a week.
I'm very responsive.
That's great to know.
And you know, we have a link below.
We also have your phone number.
So if people can get a hold of you, then they will be able to get a free consultation.
Thanks for explaining, Jesse.
and we'll see you in the next and consumer report.
And these people back there in the media have lied for eight straight years about him.
It's unbelievable.
And so we need to get him back in the White House and we need to get America First Patriots in the Senate as well.
I appreciate all he did for our country and I'm so glad that you guys are still in the fight with me tonight.
I appreciate that he's made life better for my family when he was in office.
And as a mother, I want to make sure we get him back in and we get some people who have common sense back in.
I'm glad that you guys are still in the fight with me.
How many of you are still in the fight ready to work hard?
Arizona, I know this, with all we've been through, it's very easy to get discouraged.
Real easy.
I've been there.
I've been discouraged.
I'm staying in the fight.
And I know that since you are here, you are as well.
But we've got to be very clear about something.
A vote for cinema and a vote for Gallego is a vote for Bidenflation, Bidenomics, and Biden's border insanity.
We can't do that.
We can't let our friends vote for them.
I don't want to be in the swamp.
I don't want to be in the political arena.
It's disgusting.
But we don't have a choice right now.
We need people who are willing to go back there and fight for us.
And I'll tell you what, if the Democrats keep the Senate, they will pack the Supreme Court.
They will make Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico a state.
They will legalize infanticide.
They'll block President Trump's agenda.
And so the stakes have never been higher.
And President Trump needs some fighters along with him in D.C. I'm willing to go there.
But I need your help to get there.
Can I ask a couple favors of you?
Okay, I need you to first of all turn off the fake news.
Okay?
Turn them off.
If you have subscriptions to their newspapers, cancel the subscriptions, okay?
They're anti-American.
And for Arizona voters, I need you to go to CarrieLake.com and register to vote if you're not already registered.
And then I need you to spend about two or three minutes, super easy.
Go there and sign the necessary online petition so that I can get my name on the ballot.
Got to have that.
Can you do that?
And then I need you to share that link with all of your friends and family who are registered voters in Arizona.
And then finally, I know it's difficult.
We're living in Joe Biden's economy.
If you can make a donation to our campaign, that would be really appreciated.
She's a lady, and I hope she's the next senator.
I love Carrie Lake.
She's so well spoken.
She commands an audience, and everything she said was spot on.
To talk about that and much more is AMP News contributor, Zach Payne.
Zach, she got the screw job in the governor's race.
Again, there was so much visual apparent corruption, no accountability.
Katie Hobbs still in office.
Can't go anywhere in public without getting booed, but still in office.
You have this incredibly popular woman, Carrie Lake, now going in for the Senate.
I had kind of held out hope that she would be part of the Trump administration if that did come into fruition.
But I also see the writing on the wall that Trump might not even be the nominee.
A lot to talk about in the 2024 elections today, Zach.
What are your thoughts?
I truly love Carrie Lake.
I'm glad she's making this decision as depressing and just, you know, I guess really sad as it was that she had the governor's race stolen from her.
This continuing fight has really primed her to remain in the very front of Arizona voters' minds.
So I believe she is going to win this Senate election.
I think that the voters of Arizona have been disenfranchised with Kirsten Cinema for a long time.
I don't know that she even won her election truly by any legitimate standards.
I feel like she kind of waltzed in there in one of the earlier examples of mass mail-in ballot voting fraud and absentee ballot voting fraud.
And I think that Kerry Lake is going to do a lot of good things for the people of Arizona.
Don't know much about the Democrat candidate, but since he's running as a Democrat, I can only say that he must align with the leftist values of the Democrats.
And so therefore, he's clearly just going to be bad for Arizona.
Carrie Lake would be awesome in the Trump administration, but I think about these things in terms of greatest effective value.
Where is Carrie Lake going to have the most impact?
And she has had a direct conversation with the people of Arizona for a long time now.
I think that she has gained so much in terms of popularity, in terms of respect.
And I think she's going to walk right into that job.
And I think that she is not going to be a McCain Republican.
I think she's going to be America first.
And I think she's going to help us in the Senate in a way that I think a lot of other supposed Republicans wouldn't.
Most important to me is that she is aligned with President Trump and his values because I'm aligned with President Trump and his values.
So I see Carrie Lake really as having a bright political future ahead of her.
Well, I'm hoping that she can get in office because if we do have a free and fair election in 2024 in that Senate race, I think it's a no-brainer and it's obvious that she runs away with it in a landslide.
But you mentioned cinema and the fact that there's some fish things going on about how she got in in the first place.
Well, I would also let people know that not last year, but the year before at Bilderberg, she was one of the few, I think there was two American politicians that were there.
Kristen Sinema was among the anointed there.
And almost immediately after that meeting in, I believe, May or early June, she went from the Democratic Party into an independent.
And that move could have only been made via Bilderberg in my mind.
And why was that move made?
I think to make her look more moderate among the madness.
They'd already given her a big PR campaign.
I'm pretty sure she's like this, what, she's like the halfway attractive pseudo-lesbian on the floor that wears like too much lipstick.
Like that's what's going on with her.
Checks a lot of boxes now independent.
What are your thoughts on that?
Because she does seem to not only be the darling of the donor class, if you will, but it's outside of the box of Republican or Democrat now.
We haven't seen her run as an independent.
And really, the big independent talk right now is among RFK Jr., which we'll get into in a moment.
But where does this leave cinema?
You know, that's an interesting point that you make about her attendance in Bilderberg.
I'd completely forgotten about that.
But I agree with you.
I think that her move to an independent was an attempt to kind of give her a bit of distance between the most radical leftist elements of the Democrat Party, because Arizona, by and large, is a conservative state.
I think that her win before was certainly suspect.
And, you know, because of those kind of positive qualities that you mentioned, it made it okay for people to kind of just say, okay, you know what?
Maybe she could have been elected.
You know, she's a good-looking blonde, and we tend to like those in the Conservative Party.
So I think that Kirsten Sinema moving out of her DNC shackles was nothing more than a play to manipulate the voters of Arizona.
But with the presence of now Kerry Lake, somebody who is, you know, checks off a lot more boxes as far as I'm concerned, and then also the presence of a really radical left activist Democrat, I think it's going to be more difficult for them to steal the election for either of those two.
They're not going to want to give it to the leftist Democrat because the voters of Arizona just wouldn't stand for it.
I mean, they're not going to be legitimately voting for that guy.
They might vote for cinema, but I think in the presence of Kerry Lake, they're definitely going to vote for Kerry Lake.
And so I think that a three-way race kind of throws a monkey wrench into the plot of the deep state new world order.
And it really is going to have to change the way that they cheat because, you know, as ridiculous as it sounds, there's only so many people out there on the voter rolls that they can actually point to and say, hey, this person cast a ballot for this person or this other person.
And as it stands right now, you know, many of those people are dead.
You know, I don't know how many more voters they would have to add to the rolls to convince people that either Cinema or her Democrat challenger would have won.
I think it's going to be a landslide for Lake.
I don't know if they have to convince anybody.
I think they go at this point in the post-truth world, why not go three times the amount of actual people on the voter rolls?
And when you question it, it's fuzzy math and it's white supremacist logic.
That's all I'm saying, Zach.
Sounds like a talking point they could put out on MSNBC all the way through CNN.
Let's talk about another independent because this is somebody that matters.
This is somebody that was just on Fox News.
I got to tell you, I don't love his position on Israel and the conflict right now.
It's more of the rhetoric I'm seeing from everybody where we're just supporting them carte blanche.
And in my mind, this could trigger yet another global conflict that could push us into that next big war.
You have war powers, Acts.
You might not have elections.
Kennedy vs. Bluepill 00:03:09
And right now, Kennedy is speaking as though he will be facing Trump and Biden.
Anybody who actually stomached the 10 minutes that Biden talked about Israel yesterday knows Biden's not running anything.
Biden can barely talk and read off a prompter.
He doesn't take questions.
He walks away.
More and more, I think it's a late night replacement.
Probably Newsome at this point.
But again, we've had that discussion.
We've got the official run and announcement from Kennedy in the beginning of this week.
It looks like he could get on all 50 ballots.
Will he get on all 50 ballots?
And if he does, what does that mean for this next election cycle?
I definitely think it's possible.
I think that RFK Jr. appeals to a lot of people who would never be able to stomach voting for Donald Trump and who at this point just also cannot fathom the possibility of throwing their support behind Joe Biden, either again or for the first time.
You know, I couldn't believe it in his series of rambling non-sequiturs talking about what's happening in Israel.
He evoked the name of his dead son, Bo Biden, yet again.
It's like this guy is a one-trick pony.
He can't remember anything other than the fact that he lost his son.
And wow, that's something you should bring up when you're talking about death destruction or some sort of catastrophe.
But it's the last thing people want to hear when you're talking to them about their loved ones that have been lost.
I think that you've got a lot of Democrats who cannot and will not vote for Joe Biden because it's obvious that he's not in control of his own faculties and that the administration itself is being run by puppet masters behind the scenes.
On top of that, you layer the fact that we're in our like third American hostage situation in a war zone in as many years.
I mean, Joe Biden came into office.
He immediately started setting the country on fire.
And anybody who fell for the line that, oh, he was going to be this great uniter and what we need is an elder statesman in the White House, get rid of that mean tweets guy.
I think that that luster has been worn off.
And that number of people to begin with was exceedingly small because I think the majority of Americans ended up voting for Donald Trump.
The people who voted for Joe Biden were just hardcore leftists, people who thought, hey, we can't vote for Trump.
We got to vote for Biden.
So we got no other choice.
And then the rest of them were like dead and fictitious people.
So with RFK Jr., I think that's what happened.
So with RFK Jr. getting into the race, you are going to split that number of people who would vote for Joe Biden because they have no other choice.
Now, anybody who can't vote for Joe Biden, who won't vote for Donald Trump, is going to vote for RFK Jr.
He's very rational.
Splitting the Biden Vote 00:08:43
He's fit.
He's healthy.
He's a Kennedy for God's sakes.
You know, I mean, he's got a lot of things going for him, a lot of check boxes that you can mark off there.
But for the people who voted for Donald Trump both times and who've been paying attention with some level of detail, it's quite clear that his policies worked far better than Joe Biden's.
And the best policies of RFK Jr. also happen to be the best policies of Donald J. Trump.
So do we want someone who aligns with 99% of our desires, our wishes for America?
Or do we want somebody who aligns maybe 65, 70%, but also is totally bluepilled on the environment and climate change and maybe the Second Amendment.
I don't know.
I know how I would vote.
Well, I'll say this: you know, on his Fox appearance, Kennedy was smart enough to say that he does agree with a lot of positions that Donald Trump has.
And he hopes when the time comes to actually debate and discuss it, that it doesn't become debased and into name-calling and rather focuses on the issues, which is something that I want to see.
You know, again, I think that Trump should be at these debates with these Republicans, giving them the spank downs that most of them deserve, especially in light of the fact that they're trying to push military-industrial complex lapdog Nikki Haley more than ever, as I said they would.
We got to take a break, Zach.
When we come back, the man himself speaks on Cary Lake, Donnie T on the Senate run.
After this, it's Making Sense of the Mavics.
I love Arizona.
It's great to be with you tonight and with your next United States Senator, Carrie Lake.
I wish I could be there with everyone, but I'm busy on the campaign trail and fighting off all of the bad people.
And we're running for president.
We're doing really well.
We're leading every poll by a lot, in fact, record numbers.
And when I'm back in the White House, I need strong fighters like Carrie in the Senate.
She is a fighter.
She's strong and she's good.
She's got a great heart, by the way.
For four incredible years, my administration brought historic peace and prosperity to America.
And in three awful years, Crooked Joe Biden has sent our nation on a tragedy to hell.
He's the worst president we've ever had.
He's the most corrupt president we've ever had.
And he's the most incompetent president we've ever had.
I'm running to reverse this decline, and I'm winning because every day more and more Americans are waking up to what an utter disaster the Democrats are for America.
In 2024, I will return to the White House and get our country back on track to undo the damage that Biden and the radical Democrats have done.
Republicans must win, and we must win very, very big.
It's much harder for them to cheat if we do it like we should, if we swamp them.
We're going to swamp them.
When we get enough votes, they can't cheat because they can't cheat that badly.
I will need a majority in the House and in the Senate.
We have to have a big, strong majority to help me push our America First agenda through and to push it through really fast.
That starts right here tonight by helping Carrie Lake win in Arizona, and she will win too.
She's an amazing woman, respected by everybody.
Carrie is one of the toughest fighters in our movement, and I am proud to give her my complete and total endorsement for the United States Senate.
She is very special with people like Kerry fighting for Arizona in the Senate, with me in the White House.
We will make America great again.
So, God bless you.
God bless Arizona.
And Carrie, God bless you.
You're in an amazing journey, and you're going to win.
And we love you very much.
And it's an honor to endorse you.
Thank you very much, Carrie.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Well, I certainly agree with Donnie T over there that they're going to have to win bigly.
And he used the term swamp in a way he never has before.
Instead of talking about the swamp, he's talking about his supporters swamping the elections and swamping the voting booths and obviously supporting him and other candidates like Kerry Lake.
What are your thoughts on the speech, Zach?
I loved it.
I mean, it was typical Trump form.
I mean, he's always so natural, gregarious.
You know, a lot of politicians have this very like just fake affectation.
I mean, you know, they sound like overly developed salesmen delivering pitches.
And Donald Trump is just the man he is.
And, you know, I know people who know him.
I've never met him myself, but they say, you know, he is just as calm, cool, collected, and friendly in person.
He drops F-bombs.
He's like a totally normal dude.
And I really believe him when he says that he wants to fix the country.
I mean, he did it once before.
And I think that a second Trump term would give him the opportunity to go hard in a way that most people are afraid to in their first term.
And for all intents and purposes, he would have to.
I mean, he would be forced to really clean up this mess that we have in Washington, D.C. and across the country.
You know, four years isn't a lot of time.
So in order to truly get things done, you got to just slice it up with a katana as far as I'm concerned.
That's the only way that we're really going to fix things is to significantly reduce the size of the federal government.
The deep state, the bureaucratic deep state that exists within the various agencies of the federal government, that's where the real power lies.
These unelected individuals working in these agencies, they have union membership.
Okay, they can essentially do whatever they want.
They act with impunity because the people who are holding them accountable are on the same side, largely.
And they're completely stuffed to the gills with either former or current CIA and FBI members.
And you've got a government that is essentially working against the American people, working to bring down this nation.
And Donald Trump is the exact opposite of that.
And I love him.
Every time I hear him speak, I absolutely love it.
Well, unfortunately, my fear is that they are actually going to put him in prison right now with these conflicts in the Middle East and war profits going up, up, up and up.
I see more conflict there.
I mean, nobody had disco kids being paratrooped on on their World War III bingo card, yet it happened.
And, you know, we got a long road to this election.
We got a couple months before voting in that first primary or caucus over in Iowa and then on to New Hampshire.
These criminal cases will probably start to take off just around that point primary season.
And unfortunately, in the next couple months, I don't see any kind of a resolution in the Middle East with Israel and Palestine and really beyond.
So interesting times.
