Dr. Jerome Corsi weighs in on the major media news involving the partings of ways between both Fox News Channel and Tucker Carlson as well as CNN and Don Lemon, two personalities both networks have banked on in recent history. While the circumstances may be different, Dr. Corsi looks at the potential fallout and what may happen next.Also, Joe Biden announces his bid to run for re-election despite high inflation, a poor employment situation, bumbling public appearances, his family business scandals, mishandling of classified documents and low approval ratings. Are the rest of the Democrats happy? Perhaps Susan Rice's leaving the White House is an indication. of what the party thinks.Visit Dr. Corsi's The Truth Central website: https://www.TheTruthCentral.com'Follow Dr. Corsi on Twitter: @corsijerome1MyVitalC: https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpPro Rapid Review: https://prorrt.com/thetruthcentralmembers/elBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth-central-with-dr-jerome-corsi--5810661/support.
This is Jerome Corse and today is Tuesday, April 25th, 2023.
And we have a lot of politics to cover today.
It's a very big day on politics.
Let's get started with the first announcement today, which I think will dominate a lot of the news.
That is, Biden is going to announce today that he's going to run for a second term as president.
Now, that's really not much of a surprise.
It's been expected through the end of last week.
But again, he's got a campaign video that he's launching today.
And I think if you watch it, you'll see Biden talking about the future of America.
And it's actually described in the Wall Street Journal article that we posted here, which essentially is that Biden's saying whether in the years ahead, we'll have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or less rights.
I want, I know what I want the answer to be.
And I think you do too.
I was out of time for, to be complacent.
That's why I'm running for reelection.
Well, again, his three minute video is going to show clips with Kamala Harris, and I'm sure they're going to position to attack Donald Trump and, and argue that the MAGA are extremists.
So essentially what we see is Biden is going to.
Not be concerned about his low polls, not be concerned about his age or his fitness for the office, his apparent inability to know where he is half of the time.
But then he thinks he's going to run for re-election and succeed, obviously.
And I would expect that this is going to be a positioning of a campaign that will anticipate taking on Donald Trump again, the rematch.
Now, whether Biden is going to succeed or not in this, in terms of even running, is an open question.
There's a lot going on within the Democratic Party right now, more so, in a sense, than the Republican Party.
Republican Party, Donald Trump is still the outsider, and he has the dominant position with the core base of the Republican Party.
The Republican Party has become really increasingly Democrat-lite, and they're not adhering to the principles which I would expect conservatives to want to aspire to achieve.
At any rate, Biden is going to be running on his record.
And the record is not one that I think he's going to be proud of once the recession starts.
That's going to be a big detriment for Biden.
Also, I've noticed that we are seeing an increasing amount of coverage of the Biden scandals.
Which are in the mainstream media, with this whistleblower, which is getting a lot of attention, stories coming out of the House Oversight Committee, Representative Comer.
I think we're seeing more and more news about Biden.
And if he does run for president, which he's going to do, he's announcing it, then we're going to see Congress ramp up investigations.
I think there'll suddenly be more enthusiasm in the GOP for investigations.
And hearings.
So I don't think the issue of Biden's past and the issue of the economy, I expect these are going to be two of the major issues that Biden's going to have to deal with.
One of the interesting things that I noticed here, and it's mentioned in the Wall Street Journal article, is that Biden also announced his first run for presidency on April 25th.
So this is, I guess, his day to do so, and he's repeated that.
Good luck for him, you know, repeating the pattern.
The other challenge within the Democratic Party, of course, is Robert Kennedy Jr., and that's going to be another major challenge, because Robert Kennedy is more of a traditional liberal.
As was his father, wanting to benefit the poor, wanting to work with labor unions, etc., but not in this extreme neo-Marxism.
He's not going to go along with some of the woke culture, and that's, I think, going to be a divisive force within the Democratic Party.
Although I don't think it's going to be the major conflict in the Democratic Party.
The next story I want to cover is that this Susan Rice also is leaving.
She has been, I think, one of the maybe the closest political aid To Barack Obama, and certainly with him the longest, she and Valerie Jarrett.
Of course, Valerie Jarrett's more a counselor to Obama and stays a little bit out of the limelight.
Susan Rice is the one that is more officially in a position of influencer power.
She currently is advising Biden in the White House on both foreign policy and domestic affairs.
Now that Susan Rice is leaving, The White House.
At the same time, Biden is announcing his run for presidency strongly suggests to me that People like Rick Grinnell are right that she has been maybe the shadow president, certainly been the power behind the throne with Biden, and I'm strongly suspecting that she is leaving for Obama to position her as the campaign chairman, perhaps, for his wife Michelle Obama, who I expect will run.
I know Michelle is saying she doesn't like politics and all of that, but I think that essentially we're going to find that Joel Gilbert, again, is right and that Michelle is going to run.
If you haven't seen it, Joel Gilbert has a book out on Michelle and a very good video exploring Michelle's very political life.
And Michelle is following Obama's pattern.
She's got a book out.
She's doing a book tour.
She's positioning herself to be saying, oh, I don't really want to run, but reluctantly, if the party needs me, I guess I can, that type of an approach.
So I think Biden is going to find that he's got opposition from the Obama faction, which has really been controlling the Democratic Party since 2008.
When Obama first came on the scene nationally, in a major way, Obama gave that speech in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention that put him on the map, at least to those of us who were watching and seeing the up-and-coming at that time stars within the Democratic Party.
But the Kennedy faction has not lost its appeal in the Democratic Party, and certainly among the voters.
Kennedy still holds a great deal of interest, the family does, and Robert Kennedy Jr.
has the clear look of the Kennedys, and his policies are very much in fashion with John Kennedy's policies, or his brother.
And he was there as a child when Jack Kennedy was killed.
He has memories of it all, and he was with his father being killed.
And I think he'll be a strong force.
But again, you've also got Gavin Newsom, who's on the extreme neo-Marxist left.
This is the governor of California, and he's positioning to run.
No, the Democrats just decided they're not going to hold presidential debates in the Democratic Party, because last time, in 2000, there were just two raucous Democrats shouting and screaming at each other.
They're going to try to unify the party, but I think the fight in the Democratic Party is going to be whether the Obamas Or the extreme Newsom's and that faction, or the old vestiges of the Kennedys.
These forces are going to be all competing with one another and trying to be the ones who are dominant and in control of the party itself.
Now as we proceed here, we're going to follow this very carefully.
Chris, do you want to have any comments on this?
I can just tell you one thing.
Imagine how much our conversation now and history or recent history would have been different had Mike Ditka ran for Senate in 2004.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
No joke.
I'm not joking.
Explain it.
Explain it.
He was the one who Republicans wanted to challenge a young up-and-coming Barack Obama back in 2004.
I see where you're going.
It was big news.
That was Mike Ditka in Illinois, the coach.
Yeah, the coach.
The Bears.
The man.
Right.
He contemplated, kept it, kept it, waited for a long time, but close to last minute said, no, I really don't want to do it.
That means, that meant that Alan Keyes, who carpetbagged his way into the nomination, ran against Barack Obama and lost mightily because, let's put it this way, It doesn't matter what party you're from, nobody likes a carpetbagger.
In fact, Mike Ditka said years later in the Bleacher Report, and a lot of others on CBS News also reported this, that his biggest mistake in his life was not opposing Obama back in 2004.
Well, he might have been a challenge at that time.
You're right.
I think he could have been.
He would have won.
I believe he would have won because of his popularity throughout the state.
I met him once in Las Vegas.
The shop was selling some of his prints or prints of him.
And I happened to be there, stopped by and said hello to him.
He was quite a guy.
And it could have been a good challenge.
And Illinois today, With Chicago going as far to the left as it has is really just not safe any longer.
Chicago has really suffered dramatically.
I think the fight within the Democratic Party is going to have ramifications for Biden.
I'm trying to debate whether Biden thinks he should run because if he's president, he can prevent Hunter Biden from being indicted.
Or whether he'd be better just to drop out altogether and say, maybe then all the issues about his past and his exploiting politics for money for himself and his family would go away.
I don't know if they'd go away, but the point is, which is the better strategy?
Well, obviously he's chosen to run.
And once you're in power, it's very hard to drop being in power.
And certainly there are forces behind him, including his wife, that want him to remain.
I think he's going to have a very hard time campaigning because he's already having cognitive issues every time he's making a presentation.
That's going to haunt him throughout the campaign, and I think the issues will get worse for him.
Chris, what do you think about that?
There's also the hubris factor.
This man's been president for four years.
He doesn't want to go down without swinging, I suppose, no matter what happens.
Yes, protecting his family and protecting his interests overseas is a factor, but hubris has always been a factor as well.
This man thinks, hey, I was the vice president.
People thought I was the one in charge back in the 2010s.
Apparently, people now think Obama's in charge.
I'm going to show these people that I'm going to come back, win the nomination, and win the presidency.
Again, it's his ego, it's hubris, it takes over those in power, and I believe that's what's running Joe Biden right now.
I think he believes he's the president that the media is telling the people he is.
Well, we're gonna see.
I mean, I think the, you know, it was surprising to me to see even the Wall Street Journal article talking about Biden's Past.
The Wall Street Journal really came out strong on this Morrell announcement that the former CIA director, Morrell, organized these 51 intelligence agents who said that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board really hammered Morrell and Biden for all of that effort of gaslighting the whole issue.
At any rate, the question here is that what's going to be at stake at this election is not only domestic policy with massive debt, bank failures, and I think we're going to go into the 2024 election while the economy is deteriorating.
That's never good news for the party in power.
And secondly, we've got the international crises which are continuing to ramp up.
We've got the Ukraine war which is expanding.
Expanding especially as the comes a surrogate war with us and the NATO forces giving more money and weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia.
And Taiwan is an issue.
Taiwan could be attacked any day by the Chinese and taken over.
And you've got Iran, which the Biden administration seems to have not stopped or made any effort to stop from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran is ramping up terrorism in the Middle East with Hamas and Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel.
So we've got a very potentially dangerous world that is at any moment going to cause trouble.
For the Democrats trying to run for re-election, whether it is Biden or another choice.
It's also hard for a party with a president in office not to re-nominate that president.
It's going to be a very difficult battle within the Democratic Party.
And I think the issue is going to be to watch to see what the maneuvers are to get Biden to eventually bow out.
That will possibly be one of the strategies that both Newsom and the Obama, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama will push.
Because with Biden out of the way, then there's a clearer field for challengers to compete with each other without having to say, why are you dumping the old man president?
And does that mean his policies were failing if the Democrats can't re-nominate him?
Or let's go to The next of these stories I want to cover today, and mostly today we're going to be focusing on the politics because I think there's just too much going on in the politics to not weigh in.
I was very interested to see that stories being circulated, and this was carried in a couple of different places.
The Washington Post had a story today saying that the Biden team is going to have television ads after the presidential announcement.
They're planning a blitz of ads.
So I'm sure we're going to see Kamala Harris and a lot of the others doing ads for the Biden campaign.
It looks like Biden's going to appoint this Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who's a top aide in the White House.
She's a veteran of Vice President Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign.
She's the granddaughter of the California labor leader, Cesar Chavez.
And again, this is another indication that the Biden camp is going to run a campaign that is very focused on labor issues, jobs, etc.
And that's going to become extremely difficult if the economy deteriorates.
Craig, what do you think?
Again, we've seen the Biden administration brag about employment numbers going up post-COVID.
Keep in mind, the sheep, the people out there who don't know any better will say, wow, the numbers look pretty good this month, this month, and this month, when peeling behind or beyond the actual surface news.
You look at the fact that jobs are coming back from those COVID years.
Going back into the offices.
Again, a lot of people working from home, and now we see a lot of unemployment numbers going down.
Keep in mind also that unemployment percentages go down when people don't work after a couple of years.
It's assumed by the Department of Labor, when they gather these statistics, that those who are not working for two years will not go back to the labor force.
Right.
It's going to be interesting watching the Democrats first.
And then the Republicans, I think, will draw focus, but the effort's gonna be to keep indicting Donald Trump so he can't run.
He can run even if he's in prison.
It's been done before.
You've had some major figures who have drawn votes running from prison.
I wanna cover this next story as well.
Tucker Carlson, people, of course, it was big news yesterday that Tucker Carlson's out at Fox.
And then Don Lemon is out at CNN the same day.
People didn't really notice that Dan Bongino also is out at Fox.
He was out for a little bit though, wasn't he?
He was let go a little while ago.
I think officially they've talked about it in the same article.
It may have been a few days ago or a while ago he was, but I mean it's the combination of all of these together that's kind of a sea change.
Now Tucker, I think, my take on the Tucker story is that when Fox had to pay the big settlement to Dominion on the voting, it was just too much of a hit.
They became concerned about liabilities from Tucker going off on stories which they could get sued over.
And this, I think, is really just... I think it's actually in Tucker's benefit.
Tucker will now be free from the corporate restraints and the corporate concerns at Fox, and he's going to be able to establish his own platform, which will be whatever he does, whether it's podcasts or whatever he chooses to do, will be a very, very big platform.
Certainly, Steve Bannon has had a very big platform with The War Room, and I think that you'll find the same happens with Tucker.
Now Tucker is increasingly, if you watch, there was a video that was done, these young kids who are doing these videos had an interview with Tucker in which he was saying that he hadn't realized for all the years how much he had been brainwashed.
Tucker said that he was part of the corporate news.
Remember, Tucker isn't the Tucker we see today, always.
He supported the Iraq war, supported the Iraq war back when George W. Bush was saying that the weapons of mass destruction were Saddam Hussein, that whole narrative, which again turned out to be a false narrative.
We've had a history now, and I think people are waking up To these false narratives that government puts out.
And Tucker was saying he himself hadn't realized it, but as the media, he was the official spokesperson of the government lie, the government narrative.
This was a Republican narrative, George W. Bush on Saddam Hussein.
No weapons of mass destruction were ever found.
And the first Gulf War, which his father did, George H.W.
Bush, again, the big coalition of forces that we put together because Kuwait had been invaded by Saddam Hussein.
Well, most people didn't know where Kuwait was.
It's a little tiny kingdom in that area, right by Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
And the whole war, It was kind of like a show.
It was almost like a television show.
That's when CNN began doing its real 24-hour coverage.
It really launched CNN as a news station because CNN was on site and was reporting hour by hour what was going on in the Iraq War in 1991.
Now again, that's now 30 years ago.
It's hard to, you know, it's gone fast in the sense that we've evolved so much.
Our technology is much greater today.
We didn't have the cell phone capability.
We didn't have the internet.
We didn't have the instant news capability.
But when Tucker came out and was saying how He has now seen that everyone who is called conspiracy theorist was only because the mainstream narrative, the official government story of what was happening did not want to be questioned.
And he began questioning.
That's what he was doing increasingly.
Well, that of course puts him at odds with the corporate media and those who are essentially brainwashed by one side or the other of the debate.
Right now, today, on the extreme left, the Neo-Marxists, they do not want debate on issues like climate change.
Now, there's a couple points I want to tie to, and I want us to focus for a minute on why we have the sponsors we do.
First, Craig, if you'll go to, Chris, if you'll go to the Swiss America, Chris, I want to point out the Importance of having some gold tangible value, Walking Liberty half dollar.
I think the major issue of 2023 and 2024 is going to be economics.
And I think we've been bringing you stories that no one else has brought you.
I just found this morning, there's going to be a summit in Europe, where nine nations are getting together.
They wanna put together a gigantic wind farm in the North Sea, that's gonna provide a wind power for 300 million homes.
Now, these kinds of schemes, are so gigantic, the monstrosity of wind farms you're going to have to have to support that kind of an effort is going to be devastating in the environment of the North Sea.
And people are already objecting to it in Dunkirk off the coast of Belgium.
They don't want to see, look out on that beautiful beach and see wind turbines.
So you're gonna have a lot, this is gonna be, the whole transition here of the energy going on is going to cost the United States and Western Europe a lower standard of living.
We're gonna have more inflation.
Energy costs are gonna continue to go up.
And it won't matter that, you know, the economy is down, there's gonna be less demand for oil, but at the same time, This transition to wind and solar, which is being funded by massive spending, deficit spending, is only going to increase the inflation.
When this happens, when these kinds of periods occur, we enter into a massive There's also a story I was going to cover today about the banks that are trying to reopen.
The Wall Street Journal had a very interesting article, let me just take a look at it for a minute, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the banks that have been recovered, let me just pull it up, that are being brought in, you know, we're Let me get it exactly in front of me.
They're saying essentially that all of the, oh yes, First Republic Bank.
First Republic Bank has so much debt now.
It has $30 billion from J.P.
Morgan and 10 of the largest other banks deposited at the bank to rescue it.
It's got billions of dollars of debt.
Now, the good news is it continued to operate, but the bad news is that all that borrowing came at much higher rates than normal deposits, which squeeze their profitability, and the Republic Bank is going to have to start shrinking its balance sheets, which means firing people and downsizing.
When a bank is going through a contraction, it's hard to build up its profits in order to pay off the debt service from the debt it had to take on to survive.
Commercial real estate is going to tank.
These are other issues.
We covered a story.
One of the people who owns, I think, 10 buildings in Washington, D.C.
defaulted within the last two weeks.
That's another major hit on the banks.
I really recommend that these walking liberty half dollars, you can get a one-time offer.
Just fill out the form.
It's a consultative selling.
You can buy 250 of those dollars at basically the cost or the value of the silver in them.
They're 90% silver, real silver.
They're real coins compared to the little tinny coins were issued today by the treasury.
But the economics, I think, are going to be the dominant story of the election.
That is, if we don't have international crises that pop up and expand, and I'm continuing to cover and will continue to cover the Russian advances in Ukraine.
Putin is not going to lose that war.
And if the EU continues to push, the EU is going to find itself, you know, trying to expand NATO into Finland.
The confrontation potential with Russia is only intensifying.
But I'm going to start now a series of articles.
I'm going to start writing and contemplating another book on the big guy and the Biden issues.
I think Biden will be, for the first six months or so of the election cycle, big news.
After that, I think it will turn into the internecine fighting within the Democratic Party.
And if Michelle does enter the contest, it's going to be, again, there is no Mike Ditka around to block Michelle.
I think if Michelle wants the nomination, Michelle's going to get it.
I think Obama has that much clout within the Democratic Party.
And remember, Obama wants fundamental change.
Obama, as I wrote when I did the Obama Nation, It was raised in Marxism, the Neo-Marxism.
I think we're facing a Democratic Party that, in the contest with Robert Kennedy, Jr., is not going back to the traditional liberalism of Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King was a Republican, but the Democrats embraced the civil rights movement very strongly.
And that is a movement that today, in the critical theory of the neo-Marxist left, which is being taught in universities, is considered to be outmoded.
They want to imagine a future that has utopian values.
I want to conclude with the, Chris, if you can bring up the two books on the bookstore.
These are featured in Amazon.
By the way, we're soon going to be able to have gear on the website, and I'll be posting a bookstore.
We're getting all that designed.
The website's still in the process of coming to be.
Chris is doing an excellent job putting it together.
But what we're seeing here is, I've written a book on the truth about energy, global warming, and climate change.
You'll be having another article coming out this week, I believe, in American Thinker, because very quickly behind the scenes, the neomarxist left is putting in place this agenda By regulatory action, which is going to, just as we covered last week, the EPA, Environmental Protection Act, is going to mandate new tailgate, tailpipe emission standards that will require two-thirds of all vehicles produced in the United States to be electric by 2032, nine years from now, I believe, in that period of time.
And the point of my book is that the climate science is a hoax.
So this neo-Marxist left does not believe it has to tell the truth.
They can create a narrative.
And we're seeing now, I think, Tucker Carlson attacking narratives was very confronting.
For the elite media that do not want to be exposed as being a lapdog for the powers that be, the elite established powers.
But more and more we're beginning to realize that what we're being shown and told in politics, unless, you know, I'm questioning it all, of course I'll be called a conspiracy theorist, I have been, will continue to be I'm sure, But the point is, we're raising questions and we're trying to get to the bottom of these issues.
My second book, calling it the Great Awakenings Trilogy, second book is going to be on Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism, and Anarchy.
There's the first book, which is on the truth about global warming.
This one, the truth about Neo-Marxism, it's up on Amazon in pre-publication sales.
It will be published in November.
And the two books have very similar covers and the content is meant to go together.
Because the first book shows that the Neo-Marxists left lies.
The second book explains why they lie and how they lie.
And it's because of the cultural Maoism, the attack on the culture, the evolution of Maoism and Marxism to be a culture war.
Undermining the culture of capitalism, breaking up families, et cetera.
Neither one of these books is exactly an easy read, but I think I've written them for now and also for the future to explain what this current period is like.
It's, to me, like a popular delusion.
If you study the past, people are easily swayed by popular delusions.
uh all you know the middle ages women are possessed by satan so let's burn them at the stake insanity let's all go to the let's leave our homes and march on a crusade to uh israel to recapture israel for christianity again insanity These are ideas which are simple ideas that are easy to understand but are typically lies and I think we're going through that again with the climate hoax.
Carbon dioxide feeds plants.
We ought to be happy we're in an interglacial warming period and carbon dioxide is not the thermostat of the earth.
Chris, any final comments?
I do say when you purchase your book, The Truth About Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism, and Anarchy, read the warning label.
It might hurt your sensitivities out there, or some people's sensitivities out there.
I like that.
It's a nice touch on the cover.
That's kind of fun.
But it'll be interesting to see how everything plays out after, obviously, the firings of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, what goes on with those two, and where the networks go from here on out, and who is going to vie for both of their services, or who maybe might not even bother with whom.
That's going to be interesting as well.
Well, Fox may just have committed suicide.
Yes.
And it'll join CNN in ratings that no one watches.
If they want to go to be bland and not have any controversy, not dare challenge the narratives, what it's going to do is it's going to push more of an audience onto podcasts like ours and others.
where people can go and get more of the truth.
Let's wrap it up.
I'd like to stay right at this time.
Any last thoughts there, Chris?
I didn't mean to cut you off.
That's why I agree with you that he may wind up going the podcast route.
Although, keep in mind, there will be networks out there.
Tucker, there will be networks like, let's say, Newsmax or NewsNation now that might be wildcards in this.
Well, we'll see.
If he goes independent, he'll have a lot more freedom, and I don't think money is going to be the primary concern for Tucker right now.
At any rate, it's going to be very interesting to watch.
We're going to have an interesting presidential election season, which has just begun, just getting started.
This is Dr. Jerome Corsi, with my producer, Chris, and here we are at TheTruthCentral.com, our new website.
