Truth vs. NEW$ Part 1 (7 August 2022) with Don Grahn, Scott Bennett, and Holly Seeliger
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And welcome, folks, to Truth vs. News, Incorporated.
This is August the 8th, and we're here on a hot summertime with the hottest panel and the hottest stories in the world.
I'm Donald Griner, your host.
And essentially, we are a bit blessed here to have, come on, hang on, right there.
Excuse me.
And we're blessed to have the hottest people in the world giving you the news and the hottest person, the most timely thing is the author of this book, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook, James Spitzer.
This is the book that is really gonna set the world straight.
James, we're so honored to have you.
And he's also authored about 40 other books.
And we have Scott Bennett, the military intelligence officer who's just spot on with all the things that are really happening in the world and how to solve the problems of the world.
And Holly Seliger is a great analyst and a sharp mind.
Been in politics, school boards, and things.
And she knows what's going on, too.
So we're really good to have you.
So let's see.
Let's start off with Zelensky, I guess.
Well, Don, he's trying to milk us for what's worth.
He's claiming he wants to talk with China, presumably trying to disrupt relations between China and Russia.
It ain't going to happen.
He stressed he wants China to redefine its stance on Russia, but understands why Beijing is seeking a balanced approach.
He said he believed China has a means to make Russia stop its offensive.
Not a chance.
Not only are the Chinese Not going to stop it.
They have no interest in stopping it.
The Ukrainian president also warned of long-term global consequences, which he predicted will harm food and energy security and slash Chinese exports.
According to Zelensky, due to the ongoing hostilities, many countries are spending more on food, fuel and weapons than on other goods.
People would have to pay for energy resources rather than for products coming from China.
Exports from China would be decreasing.
That's 100%.
Ambiguous, of course.
We're not going to decrease 100% of our exports from China.
China has refused to condemn Russia, has blamed NATO for the tensions between the West and Russia.
Russia sent its troops in on February 24th, of course, explaining all of its reasons, where back in February, the Kremlin had recognized the Donbass Republic as independent and demanded Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral that would not join NATO.
Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.
Scott, your thoughts.
This guy is a clown.
Your thoughts.
It is.
And, you know, a derivative of the enemy of my enemy is my friend is the friend of my enemy is my enemy.
So China is looking at the United States as its enemy.
It's been saying that clearly for a long, long time.
Of course, they've been engaging in asymmetric warfare against the West.
And they've been behind a lot of the social dysfunction to fracture the United States.
But this Taiwan episode is the most recent blow up.
But the Chinese look at Zelensky, again, the friend of my enemy is my enemy.
So Zelensky is a friend of the enemy, the Chinese.
The Chinese are going to write him off.
They're not going to have anything to do with them.
They recognize the multipolar world is emerging and the singularity of the United States' hegemony and empire is dissipating, disintegrating, and evaporating in the sunlight of other nations waking up.
And Russia We could go on and on about the common sense of the entire Ukrainian war, but essentially when anybody who's done a study of the timeline, and I've done a lot of this in Ukraine, recognizes this has been a war that's been generating since 2005 when the West went in, the CIA went in to overthrow elections, create a puppet government for the purposes of peeling away Ukraine, making it a platform in which to launch attacks against Russia.
It cultivated Biological chemical weapons for that purpose.
It overthrew the Yanukovych regime when they objected to the bio labs being in Ukraine.
They also overthrew Yanukovych under Biden and under Obama because he opposed the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, lunatic flag and lunatic curriculums being taught And forced upon the Ukrainian people.
He said, we're a conservative Orthodox Christian nation.
We're not going to embrace the United Nations or the European Union in this.
And when he said all that, they overthrew him and they put in Poroshenko.
Then Zelensky was put in, this puppet gay dancer who likes to dress in black leather and play the piano with his penis.
This fool is on a dead man's walk.
I expect any day for him to be killed.
By his own troops, by his own people.
Why?
Because he's killing his own troops and his own people to bury the biological chemical weapons and testimony and evidence that the captured prisoners of war have been providing to Russia.
And that is a game changer when the troops recognize if you're captured, Zelensky is going to order a CIA HIMAR missile to kill you.
This is where the troops turn against Zelensky.
This is where the entire nation of Ukraine is pretty much abandoned to a small minuscule area around Kiev, Poland, and Germany, and the rest is going to go to Russia.
All of the seafronts are going to go to Russia.
And Russia is going to essentially, you know, resurrect what was a previously Russian part of its society.
So China realizes all of that, and I think they're just going to wait and see how Zelensky dies, or they may try and whip him back to the United States so that he can occupy his mansion that the Bidens have given him the money for.
But I think the writing is on the wall.
Zelensky's a dead man walking.
Ukraine is going to end pretty soon.
The only thing that's notorious about Ukraine is they're trying to blow up a nuclear plant.
Russia's been warning them about that.
We'll probably get into that later.
But this is this is where things get dicey, Jim.
Holly, your thoughts.
Well, Scott made some some great points regarding Ukraine and Russia and what we're seeing.
With Europe and the United States so I think NATO and the US will fight Russia to the very last Ukrainian or just using up people over there sending Oh, money sending subpar weaponry, just trying to keep it going as long as they can.
Zelensky has has never been popular in Ukraine.
I mean, he's seen as the legitimate ruler only because the Western media has really propped him up.
What has he been on like the cover of Vogue or something like that?
So it's actually better for Russia to have like a ceasefire with Zelensky and keep him alive.
I'm sure they could have gotten gotten rid of him.
for a while, but I think it's better that they've, they've decided anyway, it's better to just keep him there and show that he's willing to just massacre his own people in order for this.
He's even admitting he wants a great reset for Ukraine.
He appeared as a hologram at a tech conference saying he wanted to do like a digital lend lease program with Ukraine, where he just was going to let a bunch of corporations come into Ukraine or rebuild it.
So he's all excited about rebuilding his country, which he's openly, it seems like he's okay with it being destroyed at this point, because it's pretty obvious that they haven't been winning the war for, for months and months, pretty much since the very beginning, people knew that they weren't going to win against Russia.
So So it's basically just murdering a genocide of the Ukrainian people in my mind.
So and China sees the United States as weak, continually becoming more and more weak.
China has been actually doing us a favor in a bizarre way by buying up US debt in order to prop up our Our government and prop up the massive spending that our own government has done basically selling us out from the inside.
So China owns a lot of US debt, and eventually they're going to want to return on that investment, or there's going to have to be some sort of negotiation between these two countries.
And, you know, our politicians aren't obviously interested in negotiation.
They love war because it's It's much more profitable for them as far as money laundering is concerned.
So China, I do remember China saying several years ago that K-pop, like the Korean boy bands and all that type of like pop culture that they're trying to bring into the East was a CIA plot.
And I remember thinking it was kind of funny a few years ago, but I can see what they mean as far as what Russia and Putin is saying, how there's like this attempted disintegration of Of men and obesity has been declared a national security issue because we can't even get young men into our military because they're sick, they're fat, they're weak and they can't even get into basic training at this point.
So I think that has a lot to do with a national security issue regarding our food supply as well, which isn't being discussed.
So we're seeing the United States being hollowed out from the inside in these countries like Russia and China are continually, and rightfully so, seeing us as weak.
Excellent.
Don, yes.
Real quickly, the changes and stuff in Ukraine actually come from the changes from way back when, when it was the Khazaria, back in the 1900s, in the Khazarian mafia.
Control it and the most corrupt and has been and still is about the most corrupt country in the world.
That's why Biden and son got in there and other things.
So it's just a mess from the start.
Well, it's also observed that there are many talk about Caesarea being the new Israel.
In other words, they want to move Israel there to their homeland.
Most of the occupants of Israel today are not descended of the tribe of Judah, but are Caesareans.
Meanwhile, China tells the U.S.
it can't treat other countries like George Floyd and bully and strangle them at will, severing cooperation with Washington, firing ballistic missiles after Pelosi's
Really inconceivable, stupid trip to Taiwan and enraged China's halted dialogue on climate change, military issues, anti-drug work, invoked the murder of George Floyd as part of the retaliation for Pelosi's provocative trip to Taiwan, diplomatic tensions reaching a boiling point.
That Pelosi felt she had to go was absurd, self-serving, outrageous.
Despite China's serious concern and firm opposition, Pelosi insisted on visiting Taiwan, seriously interfering in China's internal affairs, undermining China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, trembling on the one-China policy, and threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits, a foreign ministry spokesman for China stated.
Those compared the U.S.
behavior to the slaying of George Floyd at the hand of cops in Minneapolis.
We cannot allow the U.S.
to take itself as world policeman and treat other countries, George Floyd, like George Floyd, whom it can bully and strangle at will.
It comes as it emerges the White House summoned the Chinese ambassador to condemn escalating tensions, but we've brought it all on ourselves.
Here's where China is conducting military drills at six different locations around China.
There's no question but what the Chinese regard Taiwan as their own.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon ordered the USS Ronald Reagan to stay in the region.
They have moved into the East China and Philippine Seas from their base in Japan.
The Secretary of State criticized the missile launch and called them a significant escalation.
The U.S.
delayed a test of the Minuteman III intercontinental to avoid enraging Beijing further.
Japan protested China's missile test as a serious threat to Japan's national security.
Japan's defense ministry also speculated the four missiles flew over Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan.
Taipei reported Chinese fighters and ships cross a median line down the Taiwan Strait.
As of 11 a.m., multiple batches of Chinese warplanes and warships conducted exercises around the Taiwan Strait and crossed the median line.
AFP journalists on the picturesque Chinese island of Pigtan saw a flighter jet overhead, prompting tourists to snap photos as it flew along the coast.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of State says China's military actions are unjustified, but it was Nancy Pelosi who provoked them.
She declared Washington would not allow China to isolate Taiwan.
I mean, who the hell does she think she is?
We didn't expect the evil neighbor next door would show off its power in our door and arbitrarily jeopardize the busiest waterways in the world with its military exercise at Taiwan's premier.
China's drills involved a conventional missile firepower assault.
The state-run agency said the Chinese military flew more than 100 planes, fighters and bombers, as well as 10 destroyers and frigates.
Five Chinese ballistic missiles were believed to have fallen in Japan's exclusive economic zone.
Parts of Japan's southernmost Okinawa are closer to Taiwan.
Biden has also angered Beijing on a trip to Japan, where he stated U.S.
forces would defend Taiwan militarily.
This is just absurd.
Absolutely incredible.
The latest military exercise that shows what happened in Ukraine can happen in Asia, too, said Tetsuo Kitada, professor at Mikai University and fellow at Japan Institute of International Affairs.
Meanwhile, check this out.
OK.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Department of Defense announced another military aid package for Ukraine valued at up to 550 million U.S.
dollars.
This authorization is the Biden administration's 17th drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August of 2021.
The new package includes 75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition and additional ammunition for high-mobility artillery rocket systems.
In total, the United States has already committed approximately $8.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration.
Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $10 billion.
In turn, the Ukrainian Defense Minister claimed that four more mobile HIMARS launchers have been delivered to Ukraine.
In total, Kiev got 16 launchers from the U.S.
The Ukrainian Defense Minister declared that the Ukrainian Army has received German MARS-2 MLRS systems.
The exact number of launchers handed over to Kiev was not revealed, but earlier Berlin reported that there should be three of them in total.
Earlier on July 26, German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht said that Germany has delivered the promised multiple rocket launcher systems to Ukraine along with three more Panzerhaubeit 2000 self-propelled howitzers.
Many Ukrainian crews of Western systems are under the direct command of active military personnel of the U.S.
Army.
On the same day, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared the destruction of two more HIMARS systems as a result of a strike on the Ukrainian energy machines at a plant in Kharkiv.
53 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries were killed in the attack.
So far, the Russian side has announced that six HIMARS launchers have been destroyed.
Among the other foreign military equipment, five Harpoon anti-ship complexes and 33 M777 howitzers were hit by Russian forces.
Military equipment supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Kiev's Western allies is used not only in the battles on the front lines, but also for the attacks on civilians in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.
On August 2nd, the People's Militia of the DPR reported that 355 shells were fired by the Ukrainian forces on the territory of the Republic over the past day.
As a result of the shelling of 13 different settlements, a civilian was killed and four others were injured.
The armed forces of Ukraine launched 15 HIMARS missiles at the villages of Pervomaisk and Stakhanov, damaging civilian infrastructure.
The West is falling into a direct military conflict against Russia.
Scott, the West ends and Russia destroys them.
Your thoughts?
Well, it's interesting because Germany has said it's running out of weapons to send to Ukraine.
What does that mean for German defense?
It means it doesn't have much of a defense.
I'd be curious to see what the American stockpile is.
How are we depleting our military assets?
And if they are dangerously low, and you know they take quite a while to regenerate these, We may be, of course, being set up or foolishly falling into a setup in our stupidity to be vulnerable to any sort of attack, such as China or any other nation.
But I think China is the real one that has ambitions against the continental United States.
So this sending weapons to Ukraine, I am completely baffled that we're in this predicament because it is just such a sick confirmation, or I should say a confirmation of the sickness and the idiocy that occupies the minds of the Republicans and the Democrats in Congress and the military.
It's a hideous perversion and corruption and betrayal against the American people and many, many others.
Everybody in Europe that you see interviewed about this is just amazed and doesn't want any part of this.
They don't wanna be fighting with Russia.
They don't wanna be fighting, they don't wanna be in the middle of this.
And it's a grotesque waste.
And these refugees are leaving Ukraine and again, going up into Europe, going up into Britain.
People don't want that.
That's why Boris Johnson was yanked by the privates, by piano wire, out of his position.
And I think the same thing's going to happen to Macron.
And I'd be surprised if they're not killed.
I'd be surprised if they don't have the fate of Mussolini for this arrogance.
A reckless fight against Russia that Russia has the moral superior position for.
Russia went in because the people of Donetsk and Lugansk and the Donbass were being genocided by a bunch of methamphetamine hyped up lunatics with every inch of their skin covered in Nazi tattoos That, interestingly enough, Obama was sending out military memos when I was in the army forbidding and firing and getting rid of every soldier who had such tattoos.
Now Obama has put a lot of these mongrels in, and they were genociding the Eastern Russian people of Ukraine.
They were making Russian language illegal.
And for eight years, they were destroying these people, killing children and old people and blowing up buildings.
And Russia went in after they declared they were independent.
And thank God Russia did.
It is so foul that the United States is such a nation of politicians and liars that refuse to acknowledge this very real truth.
I'm amazed.
And I mean, I could go on and on, but I won't.
But the weapons are being destroyed by Russia or Jim.
These weapons are secretly being located for operations against Europe and the United States.
I wouldn't be surprised if we wake up and all of a sudden a bunch of MS-13 are found firing artillery rounds at cities And causing major disruption and chaos within the continental United States.
I wouldn't be surprised with that.
And in fact, part of me thinks that's coming.
All these weapons to Ukraine, are they going to be used against Europe?
Are they going to be used against America?
Is that part of the masonic creating chaos before order?
Lastly, on the China issue, there's two ways to look at the China situation and Pelosi's visit.
Number one, one way to look at it is China told Pelosi to come.
Pelosi's always been a communist, always been a lunatic, and always been a puppet of China.
So is Hunter Biden.
So is Joe Biden.
All of the Democrats are.
They've sold America to China.
We've gutted and rotted our manufacturing and everything, and we're making medicine over there.
Nothing is in this country.
So one way to look at it is China told Pelosi to come so that China could have the requisite preparation, moral outrage, generate troop movements, get a big hoo-ha, let's all get together, because now we're going to be, we're being attacked by the United States.
And what they did to other nations, what they did to Ukraine, they're trying to do to us through Taiwan.
What John McCain said in Ukraine, I am with you and we are standing with you, they're going to do to Taiwan.
So, So we need to take action.
The Chinese may have done that purposely.
And there have been a lot of analysts talking about the Chinese have ambitions and targeting the United States.
So Taiwan is not the target.
It's an excuse for the ratcheting up of military and economic warfare against the West in a big push.
Now, part of me has a hard time swallowing that because the West, if it was pushed, we do have pretty significant military technology That would destroy a lot of China, but we'll see how that comes.
So that's one way to look at it.
The other way to look at it is, you're right, this moronic fool, Nancy Pelosi, just goes recklessly flying over to China.
And has stirred up a hornet's nest because she's so prideful and so obsessed with her own reputation and she's so delusional that she thinks as her false teeth are clattering in her jaw that she's going to go over there and be a Churchillian sort of leader of democracy and start the process of what, Taiwan independence?
So there's, and then John Bolton and the rest of these people are, yeah, she should do whatever she wants.
Anytime you have Bolton backing you, you know you've got a devil's pawn and should be doing the opposite of everything he says.
So yeah, there's a chance that one way to look at it is Pelosi is a reckless lunatic doing the actions of a reckless lunatic and stirred up a hornet's nest.
The other is that China is doing this purposely, and they're using their fifth column, their domestic terrorist spies and corrupt, like Feinstein and Pelosi and others, to do their bidding for preparation of a longer, bigger operation that they know the season is approaching that it's ripe for.
Because let me end by saying this, the George Floyd commentary that China is doing, that is a brilliant PSYOP.
And they could do so much more if I was governing their psychological warfare plan.
I would do that and much more.
I'd say, yeah, you are, and Japan did this in World War II.
They were trying to unite all of the multiple races and islands and peoples, the brown people, the Philippine, the Vietnamese.
All against the United States as the white imperial power that was going to rape and pillage Asia.
The Japanese were doing that.
Chinese can do the same thing.
George Floyd raping and killing and strangling the world.
Also, this is the nation of rainbow flags, transgenders, and effeminate boy bands.
This is the ruin of society and the ruin of the family and the ruin of the Asian values.
We will not let this decadent disease, which was once a great nation but now has lost its mind and become a walking zombie, we are not going to let them come and bite us and turn us into the same zombie they are.
If China amplified its rhetoric and its colorful metaphorical language into psychological warfare, this nation would implode on itself because of the hypocrisy We'd be forced to look into the mirror.
And they may start doing that, Jim.
Wow.
Paula, your thoughts?
Well, I think Scott's right.
It could be similar to like a Fast and Furious, like we saw where it was just a bunch of weapons moving around and ending up in the hands of, you know, our enemies and whatnot.
And just, oh, they lose track of a bunch of weapons.
And I've heard people say that basically Ukraine is getting, you know, secondhand or sub subpar weaponry from the United States.
And it's basically an open market just selling it.
It's not really going to like Fixing, you know, sustaining Ukraine or continuing the war.
It's mostly just being sold to the highest bidder.
So it's all just going to different countries where there's supposedly there's no tracking of where any of this is going.
So we claim all this all these millions and billions of dollars going to the Ukrainian people.
None of that's actually going to the Ukrainian people.
They're just completely stuck in the middle of this.
They're cannon fodder at best.
It's absolutely atrocious.
What's going on?
So yeah, and then all these disappearing weapons, that's how our, you know, our enemies get armed by our own weapons.
We've seen this with ISIS and what Boko Haram and all these groups that got propped up by our own military weapons that somehow managed to end up, he was talking about MS-13, that end up in the hands of our, you know, enemies.
And then conveniently, we have a reason to keep continuing this fight.
So, It's just open weapons market from what I have heard people saying that's going on in Ukraine right now.
You know, Jen, let me say one thing.
Holly brought up a brilliant point.
How difficult is it to put on a tracking device on these weapons, like the big HIMARS?
I mean, you see them on the internet all the time.
Put a tracker on your car or your phone.
tanks or Humvees or big things.
How hard is it to drill or put some sort of little tracker?
I mean, you see them on the internet all the time, put a tracker on your car or your phone.
Why isn't that being done to every single big weapon, putting a tracker on to find out exactly where these are going, how this is being maneuvered?
The fact that that may not be done or hasn't been done, I hope it's been done, but if it hasn't been done, oh, because that would show just how corrupt and fast and furious this resembles.
That's where Republicans have nowhere to go if they are demanding tracking of these weapons.
God, the average Republican isn't as smart as you are.
Come on.
They're not tracking.
They don't want to track it.
They don't want to be exposed.
So, you know, you're right.
You're both making brilliant points.
But in politics as usual, no surprise there.
Meanwhile, today...
Today, Senate passes Democrats' Health and Climate Bill.
They claim it's anti-inflation, but in fact, it's going to increase inflation.
The $740 million package now goes back to the House.
It's been a long, tough, and winding road, but at last we have arrived, said Majority Leader Schumer.
The Senate is making history.
It was by a 50-51 vote where our strict party line Kamala Harris, the total airhead, casted a deciding vote.
The bill ran into trouble midday over objection to a 15% corporate minimum tax, disliked by private equity firms and other industry, forcing last-minute changes.
Americans for Tax Reform stated the measure will increase taxes on thousands of mid-sized small businesses.
Any business that has private equity in its capital structure is now considered a subsidiary of that firm and subject to the 15% book tax.
Concern over objections to the corporate minimum tax threatened to slow the progress.
Republicans said the measure would undermine an economy.
Policymakers are struggling to keep from plummeting into a recession.
Well, I got news for them.
We're already there.
Democrats have already robbed American families through inflation.
Now their solution is to rob American families a second time, said Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Spending and tax increases in the legislation would eliminate jobs while having an insignificant impact on inflation and climate change.
Actually, it's going to make it worse.
Starting late on August 6th, the Senate began a so-called vote-a-rama coming before the final passage under reconciliation.
And by the way, the Senate parliamentarian ruled that a drug drop, a decrease in prices for American citizens, was out of bounds for a reconciliation bill.
So they got a lot of propaganda out of claiming it was there, but it's not.
The bill came to the floor after Manchin announced he'd come to an agreement with Schumer by keeping fossil fuel exceptions there for gas, oil, and coal, particularly in West Virginia.
He said otherwise he would vote down any GOP amendments.
Bernie Sanders wanted to expand health benefits.
Those efforts were defeated.
He also wanted to take out the fossil fuel provisions that would benefit West Virginia, which would have led to scuttling the entire measure since Manchin would have reversed himself had that happened.
Sanders said the measure won't reduce inflation, which is true, and that it doesn't go far enough with its climate-related measures, which is false, because climate-related measures are totally unnecessary.
They're all based on false beliefs about climate change in relation to CO2.
Meanwhile, the bill is not going to affect drug prices, even though Sanders observes, at times that drug companies are enjoying huge profits, the pharmaceutical industry will still be allowed to charge the American people by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, you know, that's where you're seeing the breakdown of the United States economy and a national security threat because of all our medications and our entire medical industry has been transferred over to China.
You also see, of course, the big pharma capturing of the American body politic, making them addicted to every drug and every inoculation you can imagine.
So we're becoming the sickest society on planet Earth, and it's all been done by our own choices.
And this climate change is, you know, the other hysterical religion the left is raising.
And again, there's a great quote that talks about the left's arguments for climate change are so unpersuasive, they're so illogical, they're so unscientific, and they're so easily disproven.
That only fear and alarmism and violent rhetoric and hysterical name-calling is the option they can use to try and ram this through.
And AOC who, you know, gets up there and says, oh I'm not going to have children because the world could end in 12 years and all this other nonsense.
And it really is the religion of the left and this nonsense of the bill of passing this, the suspending bill.
You know, I think it's, I think the American people are done with the Democrats and this perhaps is the absolute death knell That is going to occur.
They're going to be violently thrown out of office, I think.
But the other thing is there's expectations that the Democrats are going to suspend the elections.
October 29th is the day that my intel is getting back to me saying there's going to be a 10-day shutdown of the elections on October 29th.
And they're going to do all sorts of disruptions during that time.
So the Democrats may be planning to try and push all this through because, again, there's plans afoot to suspend the elections because they know the American people and Jordan and all the Republicans Would hang them out to dry and then hang them for the treason and all of the abuse and the lies and the corruption that they've been doing.
So people need to mark on their calendars October 29th and 10 days.
If there's an EMP attack, if the power goes out, if there's a nuclear event, if Biden is assassinated, if something happens and Gavin Newsom is put in the position, that is the trigger.
And the intel is saying Take control of your communities and your towns.
Don't go far, but know that that will be the confirmation that a form of civil war is upon us.
Jim?
Let me just toss in, by the way, I've been very suspicious about gas prices coming down.
I'm conjecturing the government is covertly subsidizing the gas and oil industry for bringing those prices down, paying them with taxpayer money, but covertly, probably with national security letters, so they're not allowed to explain what's going on.
There's no good reason those gas prices ought to be coming down, and they were killing the Democrats.
Pauly, your thoughts?
Yeah, I think that's a very scary prospect that Scott's talking about.
I wouldn't be surprised though.
I mean, things are really bad right now, even like average everyday Americans are sick of it.
I hear people complaining about food prices, complaining about how bad things are, how precarious things are.
People are stressed out they they want change, you know, even the few people that voted for Biden are upset right now so there's a lot of discontent there's a lot of people talking about how upset they are about what's going on even you know the normies and whatnot so.
Um, obviously the election has to be rigged if they're going to try to continue what is going on there.
They've, uh, tried to do so in several states already.
They're trying to like pre-rig the elections and have like a bunch of ballots ready, waiting in the wings on primaries.
Like they're running like fake candidates in primaries right now.
They're so scared because they know no one's going to vote for a Democrat.
So they have to try to run like fake Republicans.
Um, they're doing everything that they can to disrupt the, uh, The election, we see all these strange diseases coming out right now and states talking about, you know, we've got health crisis and this and that.
And we've kind of known that they're kind of going to have to step up their game as far as rigging the election because it, what worked this past time is going to have to be ramped up because the average person isn't going to fall for it again.
So they're really going to have to go full out if they're going to try to take over the United States or elections again.
John?
Yeah, real quickly.
You're talking about election fraud in this country.
I would say if we have election fraud here, we don't have a country.
If we don't have borders here, we don't have a country.
I mean, it's that serious, isn't it?
Thanks.
Meanwhile, Bernie announced the amendment to strip the fossil fuel handouts from the Manchin deal.
As I say, this was so stupid because Manchin would have pulled out.
I'm not going to belabor it.
We're short on time anyway.
But the idea that the amendment would eliminate all the fossil fuel giveaways in the Inflation and Reduction Act was sure to draw opposition from Manchin.
It was about Manchin.
It couldn't even pass.
So what does Bernie Sanders think he's doing?
I mean, I used to think the guy was a halfway reasonable person, but this was the act of a moron.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court certifies a final order ending the Trump era of Remain-in-Mexico policies, sad to say.
In Biden v. Texas, issued June 30th, the Biden admin may end Trump's Remain-in-Mexico, covering asylum application by illegal migrants.
They voted 5-4.
Biden can't end the program, the migrant protection protocols, which had required asylum seekers and other immigrants to return to Mexico to wait their court date.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined three more liberal justices in the majority.
Very disappointing to me.
The majority decision written by the Chief Justice said the Biden admin decision did not violate federal immigration law, joined by Kavanaugh, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan.
The dissenters, of course, were Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Naemy.
Biden first ordered it end when he took office in 2021.
There was immediate litigation from Missouri and Texas that he violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which means it must be done in a certain way through Congress.
The DHS said around 70,000 migrants will return to Mexico under MMP before Biden issued an order to end it on his first day in office.
Supporters said it served as an effective deterrent to illegal migrants crossing the U.S., but the Democrats don't want an effective deterrent to migrants crossing into the United States.
They want more and more and more millions to continue pouring across our non-existent border.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, the Supreme Court is wrong simply on the fact that the asylum laws are designed for people who are being persecuted for religious or political reasons.
The political asylum laws exist for that purpose and only that purpose, so migrants are not qualified to seek asylum.
Just because they want to pick peaches or they want to get a better life or they want to leave their country and squat in the United States, they are not qualified under the asylum program.
I know, I was part of HHS and we had an asylum program for refugee resettlement.
Refugees, political asylum is meant for people who are being persecuted, tortured, killed for their religion, their color, whatever, their political beliefs.
So this entire, I wouldn't be surprised if the morons didn't present any of this to the court, but the fundamentally The court is wrong and it should have been introduced that the political asylum is currently, the refugee resettlement political asylum laws of the United States cannot and does not apply because the people who made this law, the people who passed it, was doing it out of compassion for people who were being tortured and killed and persecuted.
They did not pass this law.
It was not the intent of the people of the United States of America to pass a law that could then be used By a corrupt administration like the Biden administration to bring in all of these foreigners, all these illegal aliens, and try and make them political voters.
That is the whole argument that needs to be put up there.
And I know, too, here's the other thing.
White South African farmers.
When I was in HHS, I made a plea to the Bush administration to put them on the list of the refugee resettlement.
And instead, I was attacked and persecuted by the Bush appointees, except some of the real conservatives stood by me, but they had no interest.
It was a black woman named Josephine Robinson, who was a political appointee in HHS.
She came down and was furious that white farmers would be listed on the refugee resettlement.
But what happened years later?
Putin listed them as refugees, and Putin brought all those South African farmers up to Russia to farm.
Why?
Because they were being killed and tortured and raped and abused, and their farms burned down by black savages in South Africa that had a vendetta and a hatred for them because of their race, because of their culture, because of their history.
So that's what refugee resettlement and asylum is all about, not about this Beverly hillbillies of a bunch of migrants coming up from Honduras, San Salvador, and every other shithole, as Trump called them, coming up to squat in the United States.
Jim?
Yes, and they're being transported up by Israelis in convoys with a Star of David on the door.
Holly, your thoughts?
Well, I just wanted to tie this in with that that green agenda package that we saw basically they're saying it's like the combating inflation package and it's basically just a big cover for
Like the green agenda and a bunch of subsidies for turbines and the electricity updating the electricity grid for the wind turbines and solar panels and a bunch of handouts for that and a bunch of national and statewide subsidies for all of this.
So it's not actually going to improve any anything as far as people's ability to be able to pay their electricity or to even keep electricity on as we've seen in several states where they're doing rolling blackouts.
We're seeing this in Europe where they're they're more advanced with their their green agenda with a tech revolution as far as putting in this technology which is not not sustainable and they're tying it in with like carbon credits and all this sort of stuff that we're seeing going forward.
So There's so much in that Senate package that they're passing, claiming it's going to be a big victory for the Democrats, but it's another step in the way as far as the green agenda and the collapsing of U.S.
infrastructure.
Yeah, it's not going to help the economy in any way, shape, or form.
Meanwhile, USPS is suspending services effective immediately because of so much crime, primarily.
There's no guarantee your mail is going to show up every day, especially in 2022.
The Post Office has been battling challenges with growing complaints about delays across the country.
The threat of mail theft has increased significantly, making it more likely your mail could be stolen before it makes its way to you.
Sometimes they play a more direct role in your empty mailbox.
They can and will support a delivery service for a number of reasons, which some Americans have just discovered.
From April to June, they suspended delivery in three cities over attacks against postal carriers in Santa Monica, California, Greenfield, Indiana, and Des Moines, Iowa, of all places.
Residents in one Santa Monica neighborhood received notice of a mail suspension due to assaults and threats of assault from one individual against multiple carriers.
Meanwhile, the neighborhoods in Greenfield and Des Moines lost delivery service when USPS workers were attacked by loose dogs.
The USPS was also forced to suspend service and post office in Northern California.
The agency closed post office in four Siskiyou County cities, a result of the McKinney Fire, a massive wildfire that broke out in the Klamath National Forest on July 29.
Residential service disruptions have notified two of the post offices have reopened now, Happy Camp and Sien Valley.
The Scott Bar and Klamath Liver locations, however, are still closed because of the fire.
For those unable to get their mail, the post office is directing them to available mail and retail services at the post office in Eureka, California.
Meanwhile, they've long warned customers hazardous conditions and natural disasters can affect service.
The Bikini Fire is not the first instance.
There were others previously.
One post office had to close because of record-breaking rainfall, remarkably enough.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, the post office has armed agents that carry guns.
A friend of mine's dad was part of it, so they should be, if they need to be, exercising armed responses to this.
But, you know, again, this is the confirmation of the Democrat chaos.
This is going to lead inevitably to a response and a mafia sort of response where people are going to have had enough And they're just going to hire mafia people, or they're going to get their own guns, or they're just going to start executing these people when they start acting like animals.
When a dog goes rabid, it's never going to come back to normalcy.
And people are, I think, going to be shaking their heads going, enough.
I'm not going to have my children put at risk.
I'm not going to be attacked by anyone's wild dogs because they don't know how to handle themselves.
I'm not going to be assaulted by anyone.
And you're going to have a very militant response to this, to these insane people, who may of course, you know, be dead and dying because of their COVID-19 vaccine.
The other thing I wanted to comment on too, on this big bill that they just passed in the Senate, you know, Jim, they hire, they're looking to hire like 80,000 IRS agents Or 200,000?
I can't remember what it was, but some obscene amount of IRS agents to go after the American people and steal their money.
That's the real interesting thing, is you're now going to weaponize the IRS.
Well, we see what they do to conservatives.
We saw when they were rejecting all of the IRS 501c applications for conservative organizations.
So now you're going to hire, under the Biden administration, you're going to hire left-wing agents to go after businesses and people Most likely conservatives to extort money from them.
There's a civil war waiting to happen using the IRS, the agency that everybody loves to hate, Jim.
See, the problem is conservatives believe in law and order.
So, you know, it takes a great lot to dislodge us into the effort to having to retaliate.
But I think we're reaching that point.
Ollie, your thoughts?
Well, it's been interesting that to see that over the years, Democrats have worked pretty hard to destroy the Postal Service.
So they've tried to pass laws where they have to like front all their their pensions, like 50 years or something crazy like that, and claim that they're unsustainable and they need to be privatized, they need to go bankrupt.
And then they turn around and use the post office to rig the election.
So that we saw, you know, There was a few postal workers who became whistleblowers saying that they saw all kinds of these crazy mail-in ballots and they saw the whole thing is wrong and corrupt.
And a lot of people turned a blind eye probably just because they were scared.
You know, probably not everyone in the post office was completely complicit in knowing what was going on.
But once you go against some of these mafias, things get kind of scary.
So I think there were some postal workers who did straight out say that they saw that the rigging going on and with these different boxes and through the postal system so there's a there's definitely a concerted effort to get rid of that to privatize the post office it's that's been a big Big desire for a long time to just make it completely unsustainable.
And as far as postal workers going into a lot of cities, I think a lot of it's super dangerous now at this point just to go into a city, some of these areas, no matter who you are, it doesn't matter if you're a postal worker or not or Remember the AFL-CIO, the big union that the post office is under, had a secret slide presentation that I delivered to Trump's people when I was back in November 2020.
Remember the AFL-CIO, the big union that the post office is under, had a secret slide presentation that I delivered to Trump's people when I was back in November 2020.
The AFL-CIO was actively planning disruption activities against Trump and his election.
And that AFL-CIO also was the only union and the post office, the only one that they didn't require mandatory vaccines.
So the post office, AFL-CIO, corrupt beyond all description.
Boy, they deserve the most severe retaliation available.
Meanwhile, Breitbart is reporting a very odd situation with the size of the labor force fell by 63,000 in July, even though the population grew by 177,000.
The mystery of the shrinking labor force and decline in labor participation is a conundrum of the post-pandemic recovery.
I can't have a client meeting without someone asking me where all the workers have gone.
I have no idea.
But they are apparently gone.
Harvard economist, former Obama administration advisor Jason Furman said he's baffled by the decline in labor force participation, peaked at 62.4 in March, fallen nearly continuously since, despite Tons of job openings, lots of jobs added, dwindling cash balance, mostly improving COVID, recession talks scaring people into accepting jobs.
There's another mystery, the mirror image.
The Household Survey says the number of employed people only increased by 197,000.
179,000.
The employment-to-population ratio jumped just a tenth of a percent.
So, where did all these workers come from in July?
If the participation rate did not rise, then the total level of employment barely grew.
Travel restrictions, business closures, COVID concerns sent labor force participation crashing in the spring of 2020.
We hit a low of 60% in April, but then rebounded for the following three months.
In the summer of 2020, the recovery stalled out.
After the March peak participation began to fall again, its notable job growth peaked the month before.
Until this month, job growth as measured by the payroll survey was at its slowest pace in more than a year.
Another weird thing began in March of 2020.
While we were still adding jobs, the employment level is measured by the Household Survey Flatline.
This is a survey the Department of Labor uses to construct the unemployment rate.
So what in the world was going on?
When you run the household survey along with a payroll survey, you notice, first, household shows a higher level of employment than a payroll.
That's because it includes agricultural workers, self-employed workers, whose businesses are unincorporated, people on unpaid leave, and unpaid family workers.
A payroll survey only counts people who are on the payrolls of non-farm establishments.
Second, you can see the Household Survey shows unemployment growth came to a halt in March.
Businesses were not adding to payroll, but the overall level of employment was not rising.
The best explanation is businesses are drawing on workers from what financial pundits call the sidelines.
Instead of hiring people who weren't working, they're hiring the self-employed.
Workers are being drawn onto the payrolls of outside employers from their own businesses.
We can see this in the data for the self-employed.
The number of self-employed shrank by 279,000.
On a five-year chart, self-employment crashed during the pandemic's spring and peak last August.
It's been coming down rapidly since then.
That solves the secondary mystery of where all the workers that are adding to the payrolls are coming from, from self-employment to being otherwise employed.
The decline of labor force participation lines up chronologically with the flattening of the employment level, suggesting there may be a connection.
Inflation may be playing a role as well.
While nominal wages have been rising, they have not kept up with inflation, so real wages are falling.
That makes up giving leisure for work less compelling on the margin.
Basically, employers are offering workers less money for work than they were before, which means more people who do not absolutely need to work will choose not to.
If it sounds absurd to say people would choose not to work because prices are rising, keep in mind unemployment is extremely low, the employment level at nearly an all-time high.
People are far more likely to be rated as someone with a job than at any time in recent history, and those jobs seem very secure right now, which makes it easier for a small percentage of the population to decide not to work.
Keep in mind the labor force shrank by only 63,000 in July, so we're not talking about a mass exodus of workers.
What if we had a reception and everyone still had a job?
The U.S.
economy added 520,000 jobs in July and unemployment fell to 3.5.
Economists had expected the economy to add 358,000 and unemployment to hold steady at 3.6.
A prior month's already very high job figure of $372,000 was revised up to $398,000.
The job market has now fully recovered from the pandemic job loss, with both the unemployment rate and total payrolls at pre-pandemic levels.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, you know, what's striking me and interesting to look at that's going to be coming up is the COVID-19 vaccination effect.
Are you going to be killing off a lot of people?
Are you going to be making them mentally and physically incapable of focus, of concentration, of physical work, of all of the requirements of You know, a social, mental clarity.
I honestly think we are entering a dark age and people don't really realize it because people don't have the ability to realize anymore.
I think you're going to have a massive death event in the next, specifically between November and March of this coming year, season, with the flu and the cold, of course, and the depleted
I mean, you're going to witness if what all the doctors and scientists have said is going to come to pass, you're going to have the full evolution of this COVID-19 vaccine, and you're going to have a measured drop in all employment, all economic activity.
And that doesn't even go into the military dimensions of this.
So, you know, the economic numbers that the current government regime puts out, I think, are complete lies and fabrications, just like the idiot lesbian black woman secretary that Biden has up there.
Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie as well.
Jim?
I just said I think this drop in the gas prices is being subsidized by the American government.
It's an illusion.
And the taxpayers are being pleased.
They're probably giving the oil company a margin that it far exceeds what they would have made had they been staying at their historic highs.
That's what these Democrats are doing.
They are so dirty.
That's something Tucker should have on what you said, Jim.
That's a brilliant observation.
Tucker should explore that.
Paulie, your thoughts?
As far as numbers and the job force market, I've seen the Biden administration and Democrats and whatnot talk about how there are more people working jobs right now.
Jobs have gone up, the employment rate, but in reality, if you look at the numbers, there are more people working multiple jobs, but fewer people in the job market as a whole.
So there, like I said, there's people basically just disappearing.
Out of the job market, I think a lot of them are probably older people, like boomers, people who are retiring, just trying to take their pensions when they can, and then younger people who just aren't even getting into the job market.
It's not worth it for them to, they don't have a car, younger people can't afford cars, they are not interested in driving, they can't afford, they don't get paid enough to be able to support this, to be able to drive to a minimum wage job, a starter job, so they're just not even getting into that, and then
You've got people who are doing like the side hustle like multiple part-time jobs which has become like the culture now that not as many full-time jobs with all the pension and benefits and everything so people just doing a bunch of stupid side hustle gigs that have now become the norm here in the United States and then we're obviously seeing people just disappearing in the United States and we can't discuss why we're seeing a massive reduction in the U.S.
population right now as far as working age population.
Excellent comments and a perfect conclusion to our first hour.
Don, take us out.
Oh yes, we're down to basics here, aren't we folks?
Talking about jobs and postal services and things.
The whole country seems to be grinding down and it's not a good thing that's happening.
So we thank you so much for watching the first hour here on August the 8th, 7th, and it's a great show.
And come back for the second hour, it's supposed to be even hotter than this.
