attention whatever to all that's happening could accept the latest efforts are shaped with the well—being of the british people in mind . prime minister people in mind. prime minister keir starmer has already said that given a choice between being at davos with the unelected, unaccountable billionaires, or in westminster listening to the elected representatives of the british people, he prefers davos. i bet he does. whoever he serves, it's not the rank and file out there trying to earn livings, hoping to see their children educated as critical thinkers, trusting that their hard won efforts might be passed on to their descendants . before anyone descendants. before anyone suggests starmer's labour is working instead with the well—being of muslim people in mind or indeed for any of the general population, i say that's for the birds. in october last yean for the birds. in october last year, when asked on lbc whether israel had the right to cut off water and power, the right to besiege gaza , starmer said that besiege gaza, starmer said that yes, israel had that right. tens

of thousands of women and children are dead in gaza. now, i say starmer has been no friend, no sincere or consistent friend, no sincere or consistent friend whatever of islam either to imagine star mercedes with any everyday people is, i say also for the birds. i say labour's stance here in britain is shaped with the intention of dismantling the edifice of britain brick by brick, levelling it into the image of airstrip one. that province of the totalitarian superstate involving the renaming and repurposing of britain as imagined by george orwell in his novel 1984. i say starmer and those around him, more specifically those he actually listens to, are using the groups. so effectively divided one from another as the explosive mix with which to blow the place , so to speak, to bits. the place, so to speak, to bits. i see the uniparty labour tory pick your poison has no love for britain and despises the people

rooted here. that population, the uniparty regards and seems determined to treat as impacted wisdom teeth they would rather see extracted . it also seems to see extracted. it also seems to me that starmer and his ilk are so convinced of their rightness, of their moral and ideological superiority that anyone with a different point of view is automatically ignorant. a thug, an oaf , a member of a lesser an oaf, a member of a lesser species by word and deed. starmer's labour and the rest of the uniparty regard tens of millions of born and bred british people with contempt, unbridled contempt, making him only the latest in a long line , only the latest in a long line, similarly minded decades of popular opposition to mass immigration. opposition dismissed and ignored by one government after another, has boiled over. there is no denying it. the unrest was predicted at least as long ago as the 1960s. what's not said often enough, however, alongside that truth, is that the unrest has proven surely beyond reasonable doubt to have been not collateral

damage , some sort of unintended damage, some sort of unintended consequence born of well—meaning naivety. but the deliberate intention all along people say to me that britain is broken and it surely is. entire communities denied hope, denied hope for homes denied hopes of decent jobs. hopes of decent schools for their kids. denied hopes of better lives. condemned instead to an ever decreasing spiral of lost freedom. britain's traditional culture of hard work and hard workers has been replaced with a culture of dependency , of hopelessness. dependency, of hopelessness. britain is indeed broken, but what is most important to understand, i say, is that britain was deliberately broken. successive administrations looked on at a britain that worked literally and metaphorically with domestic industries, domestic sources of energy and set about its dismantling, planned demolition with a view to replacing a capable , functioning place with capable, functioning place with a dysfunctional dystopia

inhabhed a dysfunctional dystopia inhabited by a dependent, submissive population, dumbed down into compliance with endless supplies of seductive convenience . convenience that's convenience. convenience that's illusory. i say self—applied manacles. instead, starmer is a lawyer to trade and must surely be familiar with the concept of malice aforethought of mens rea. the guilty mind unhappy, desperate , appalling desperate, appalling consequences resultant from the deliberate and i do mean deliberate and i do mean deliberate flooding of incumbent populations, with millions of incomers from elsewhere , from incomers from elsewhere, from anywhere, incomers with radically different ideas about how to live were predicted not just in the uk but all across europe. i say the flooding was and is deliberate, and i fail to see how any honest person confronted with the evidence could say otherwise. now the consequences are before our eyes. and what is the response of starmer and his government .7 of starmer and his government? the knee jerk response in the face of those he and they regard as lesser as oafish and thuggish

because they do not appreciate the rate of change imposed upon their communities. it's to seek to bully to and frighten millions of people into keeping their mouths shut, their phones in their pockets. the reaction to the problem is to target those who would post videos onune those who would post videos online depicting behaviour. the starmer government insists must not be seen. not only that, it must not be seen, but that it does not exist in the first place. quote the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. it was their final, most essential command . final, most essential command. everyone quotes george orwell all the time now, but if the cap fits, we might as well wear it. official policy, now repeated ad nauseum by the mainstream media, put into practice by the police, is to seek to frighten to and silence those who have seen with their own eyes what is happening up and down the country, and sought to share that information with fellow citizens over and over again. we are bleated out about our precious so—called democracy here in the home of

the so—called mother of parliaments. we are told the word comes from greek and means the rule of the demos, meaning the rule of the demos, meaning the people. in recent months, i've been schooled in an alternative etymological understanding that suggests instead that democracy means rule by division , even divide rule by division, even divide and rule, which on present evidence makes a lot more sense. but what do i know? sometimes i hear the decaying, corrupted circumstances in which we are made to live excused or explained as the consequences of wilful blindness on the part of our leaders. but that's an excuse too far for me. the government and the establishment, ideologically captured as they are, are not at all blind. they have instead a clear sighted, focused intention to remake britain and the west in their own image. to remake britain and the west in their own image . some people in their own image. some people condone the violence resultant from the boiling over of anger and frustration left simmering for 60 years. some might even encourage that violence . i encourage that violence. i don't, but i do know the violence is happening. neighbourhoods are destroying not just each other, but also

themselves. and i do know its manifestation between communities up and down the country, all across europe and the west, and all at the same time, despite popular opposition, made obvious by the rising popularity of common sense, populist parties here, there and everywhere that the boiling over of hitherto stifled and repressed emotion is the fault not of everyday people desiring no more than the continuation of everyday lives, but of politicians in service to ideologies bent towards agenda 2030 and the rest of the anti—human dystopia . because as anti—human dystopia. because as sure as god made little green apples, the stoked and choreographed internecine strife we're seeing now seeing despite the best efforts of the government and the mainstream media to misrepresent it or to hide it altogether, will shortly be used to justify , well, be used to justify, well, goodness knows what martial law maybe. or lockdowns for community safety, followed by the rollout of digital ids and the rollout of digital ids and the rest of the ultimate control and surveillance cage. once

again, the mainstream media has again, the mainstream media has a case to answer. when the bbc and sky and others seek to portray one set of protests as peaceful and others as thuggish and racist. this is blatant distortion fiction driven by an ideological agenda. that same agenda sees the government determined to maintain the fiction. the distortion on pain of punishment, prosecution and jail time for those judged to have incited hate. that incitement may only be words or pictures online or in others words or pictures shared. elon musk love him or loathe him, appears to be under attack for maintaining his online platform. x twitter. whatever you call it, as a means by which citizens are sharing videos and information that exposes the government and the mainstream media lies. the subject mass immigration, like others preoccupying the minds of millions, is thereby made a minefield into which too many fear to tread . the blunted, fear to tread. the blunted, overused weapons of name calling

are used relentlessly by the ideologues of the government, and aided and abetted by the mainstream to media, make dissent a form of social, professional and reputational suicide. racist islamophobe, anti—semite, and on and on until too many people simply shut up and put up with what they know is wrong. my friend , academic is wrong. my friend, academic and philosopher ralph schollhammer, said something this week that resonated powerfully with me. he talked about how populations have the right to demand their governments preserve the values of their ancestors. he said countries do not exist only in the present tense, in the here and now, but that they are in fact social contracts between the dead, the living and those who are yet to be born. here's the thing people are angry and justifiably so . the stoking of justifiably so. the stoking of that anger has been the deliberate work of decades. indignity and anxiety piled on indignity and anxiety as much as anything else. people are angry

because they've not been listened to, because they've been ignored. and so what does the government do in the face of people desperate to cry out in angen people desperate to cry out in anger, desperate to be listened to? the government's immediate reaction is to shut those people up, to silence them . glamis up, to silence them. glamis castle, birthplace of the queen mother, is said to be haunted by a ghost they call the tongueless woman. the story goes that her tongue was cut out just before she was executed, and that her wraith roams the grounds pointing at her bloodied mouth. she wasn't punished for telling lies on the contrary, she was silenced forever because she had come upon a terrible truth and threatened to repeat what she had learned. we've learned so many terrible truths these few years. just past, we had started to call them out. now we run the risk of playing into the hands of those who would have us silenced again . we need honest silenced again. we need honest voices more now than ever. next

on the show, colonel douglas macgregor will be here to discuss a new law that would allow vetted and qualified migrants an expedited path to us citizenship by serving in the military. but before we get to all of that, greg swenson from republicans overseas uk is here with me. greg, you listen to me possibly more often than is good for you. i can only apologise. but what what might be what might be an american's perspective on what is happening here in britain right now. right. >> it's interesting to see i was away for three weeks and came back, see what happens when i leave the country. yeah. do that. but but it's similar to what's happening in the us. so from an american's perspective it's not outrageous because we look at what happened over the last 10 or 12 years. you had the you know, the first rebellion against the mainstream media and the government over controlling people's lives was the tea party

back in 2009 ten. and of course, the mainstream media and the government made fun of those people and, you know, tried to describe them as extremists and hicks and, and hokey because they were just regular people, mostly in the middle of the country, you know, not on the coasts. and so, you know, it's that kind of pushback that is healthy, but it's a powerful force to fight against, between the media and the government. it's powerful. >> we often see traditionally here in the uk that something starts in the us and then we catch it, it crosses the atlantic, but is there a sense this time that the way that our present government is going about the business of handling community strife, i would say has been deliberately choreographed and driven? >> is ahead of even the american game and our americans looking on at what's happening here and thinking, oh my god, that will surely come here.

>> maybe they hope, maybe i hope they actually take a hard look at it. charles murray wrote a great book about 12 years ago called coming apart, and it talked about a lot of this strife in these in these communities. the rust belt communities. the rust belt communities that have been gutted and, and yet we still wave in immigration. we still replace factories with, with cheap labour, you know, factory workers. so you know, this this has been going on for a long time in both countries. the question is, you know, when does the pushback really start? i think the pushback started in the us, you know, surely started against the pushback against wokeism. and i think it's healthy . but you do have you healthy. but you do have you still have this this george, you know, this orwellian, discussion or description of what's going on.and or description of what's going on. and if you oppose it, if you fight back, then you're a racist, you're an islamophobe. and so it's really the boutique issues of the elite that have been forced down the throats of the people and, and that's not healthy. and i think there will be. but but it looks like, you know, the pushback here has started and hopefully it works.

>> i think, though, that the pushing those boutique issues as part of a smokescreen to cover what's actually happening. and although five years ago, if you'd said to me, do you think that the establishment and whatever government is in power is working systematically and deliberately to dismantle britain, i would have laughed that off. i would have said, no, don't be ridiculous. but increasingly i find that the evidence of my own eyes makes it inescapable. and, you know, like sun tzu said, an evil ruler will burn his nation to the ground just to rule over its ashes. >> yeah, it's that that old marxist belief that you have to wreck it and then build it from scratch, from nothing , because scratch, from nothing, because they want to try this utopian society. they are trying to wreck america. they've succeeded in several, several states. california for sure. minnesota for sure. illinois, my home, my home state. they're trying their best in new york. they're trying to wreck these communities and wreck these states. and but people vote with their feet and they move to red states. so thrive in florida, tennessee ,

thrive in florida, tennessee, texas, idaho, thriving states, thriving communities. and people are just saying no. and so you know, and i'm sure we'll talk about it today about tim waltz, the vice presidential nominee. you know, he's tried his to best wreck minnesota, and he's perhaps succeeding. and you've seen $5 billion of taxable income. leave the state. people are moving to north dakota. they're not they're not just moving for the weather in florida. they're moving to north dakota, which is arguably worse weather than minnesota. and because there's freedom in that state and you don't have that, the government forcing their hand with the assistance of the mainstream media. so i think it's you're seeing the healthy revolt. it's a little easier in the us because you have this federalist system and these 50 different experiments , and 25 of different experiments, and 25 of those experiments are working. and 25 surely aren't. >> oh, next on the show, colonel douglas macgregor will be here to discuss a new law that would allow vetted and qualified migrants. expedited path uk citizenship if they serve in the

welcome back to the neil oliver show. a proposed new law would allow vetted and qualified migrants a speedy path to us citizenship if they serve in the military. america started the year with its smallest military in more than eight decades, at just over. i think it's 1.2 just over. i think it's1.2 million. the lowest total since before they entered the second world war. so will this new bill strengthen the us military in any meaningful way? i'm joined now by retired us army colonel douglas mcgregor to discuss this. good evening colonel. always good to see you. >> good to see you, neil, >> good to see you, neil, >> i believe it's being bandied about as the courage to serve act , what will it about as the courage to serve act, what will it mean? can you. can you educate my viewers about what it will mean for the united states of america and her

citizens ? citizens? >> i think it will mean certainly a reduction in our readiness to fight. i think it will affect our overall efficiency and effectiveness very negatively. and we need to understand that we've been through some of this before . through some of this before. dufing through some of this before. during the american civil war, we imported huge numbers of europeans, to come to the united states and serve in the army against the south because we'd taken heavy casualties. we were having trouble replenishing the ranks. and the promise was, you serve in this for three years or to the point where the war ends, and then we'll award you citizenship. we found that those formations, when they were subjected to heavy fire, were the first to break and fall back. and ultimately we had hundreds of thousands of desertions , the rates of desertions, the rates of desertions, the rates of desertion were very, very low among the native born americans, but very high among the foreigners. and i would expect something similar. our our concern is american citizens right now is that this is part of the denationalisation effort

thatis of the denationalisation effort that is ongoing in washington to turn the army and marines as a minimum, probably as much of the forces they can into a foreign legion manned by people who are for the most part, non—europeans, which is part of this larger denationalisation fled the country with people that have nothing in common with us are not here to assimilate, did not come here for a specific reason. to become americans, are simply here with looking for a ticket to the consumption machine , machine, >> what is the is envisaged for these, these incoming people ? these, these incoming people? >> will they be, will they be, will they be fighting enemies, foreign or domestic? what will they be? well, that's . they be? well, that's. >> that you. you've just hit on the key. aspect of this whole thing. we've made it very clear in recent years, because of the enormous problems we've had and all the failed interventions, many of our best soldiers officers have left. and so we've

said, no, we're not going to commit ourselves to any more massive, interventions on the ground. we're going to rely primarily on air and naval power. so many people watching this have concluded that it certainly is the case in the army and the marines, where these people will be foreigners in uniform and could conceivably be used against us. the native born population. so naturally we oppose it . oppose it. >> bear with me, colonel greg swenson from republicans overseas with me in the studio. what do you make of it? are you an american citizen? you look on at that. how does that make you feel? the thought of a foreign legion deployed within your country and possibly sent overseas on your behalf? it's the ultimate outsourcing, right? >> we've done this with factories. we've done this with with industry. and now they want to do it in the military. so i agree with the colonel. i mean, it's outrageous. and we shouldn't be surprised by the way, look what they've done in the last 5 or 5 or so years with the, you know, the woke emphasis in the military with the dye, the military has become an hr

department. basically, they threw i think it was 8000 or more soldiers, sailors and marines out of the service because they refused to be vaccinated and didn't reinstate them. so you have you have all this kind of insane wokery that's depressing. the people, the young people that would normally want to enrol and enlist . enlist. >> colonel greg. greg invokes the spirit of insane wokery there, to not put too fine a point on it. who does think this is a good idea in washington? >> where does this coming from? >> where does this coming from? >> well, i think the hardcore left that is for the denationalisation of the country that would like to pursue vigorously the replacement of the native born americans, people who are fundamentally anti—christian and believe that, white supremacy or white christian nationalism are the greatest threats to the country, the trouble with all of this is that, you know, you can get all

the what i would call white supremacists together in a phone booth and let the three of them fight over the phone. that's a non—issue. but it's part of the diatribe that we hear from the left. it's part of the transformation process. you can link this to globalism. the wef, your own ruling class, is equally inclined in these directions. anything that is nafive directions. anything that is native american, christian and effectively part of western civilisation is being treated as the enemy . so this is one way to the enemy. so this is one way to get at it. and i think the great dangeris get at it. and i think the great danger is they think that these troops can be used against us. >> i've spoken to various people over the months, brett weinstein comes to mind yourself, others. michael yon talking about invasion using that word , using invasion using that word, using that vocabulary about what's happening on the southern border . happening on the southern border. now, how even more alarming for , now, how even more alarming for, well, for american citizens that

the invasion force is actually armed and uniformed. >> that's exactly right . and >> that's exactly right. and here's something else to consider. i talked about efficiency and effectiveness. most of the people coming into this country are not coming in with the skills that we would look for in modern military organisations. look for in modern military organisations . these are not organisations. these are not well educated people. they're not going to march seamlessly into the economy and hold down jobs as engineers, accountants and so forth. the problem is you're not getting the quality manpower that you need today in the armed forces. the days of bringing in people that had almost no education and frankly, were ignorant and could have a rifle shoved in their hands and sent to the front are over. we need quality people that can man lots of complex equipment and technology. it's not going to happen. so the only purpose here is to further the denationalisation of the united states , the denationalisation of states, the denationalisation of the united states of america. >> what a what a prospect.

colonel douglas macgregor i've only run out of time where i would keep this conversation going because i find it's so fascinating and frightening. but thank you so much for your contribution. so far. >> thank you. neal >> thank you. neal >> coming up next, i'll be asking natalie morris , cohost of asking natalie morris, cohost of the redacted podcast , of which the redacted podcast, of which i am a regular viewer, what she thinks of the kamala harris fever, which i think has definitely taken hold in the usa. >> don't go anywhere .

>> welcome back to the neal oliver show. >> it's been another busy week in american politics. i can't get enough of it at the moment, and the momentum currently building behind democrat

candidate kamala harris shows no sign of abating. latest polling figures suggest that kamala harris is now leading republican candidate donald trump, who had been comfortably ahead when joe biden was still intending to run. is kamala harris, the current vice president enjoying a honeymoon period with the voters, or is this something more significant? i'm joined now by the co—host of the most excellent redacted podcast, natalie morris. thank you for joining us, natalie. >> it's absolutely my pleasure , >> it's absolutely my pleasure, >> it's absolutely my pleasure, >> shouldn't shouldn't, shouldn't we have have questions to ask about why, americans seem to ask about why, americans seem to be being offered the most unappealing cast of characters ? unappealing cast of characters? >> yes. i think it's fair to call her unappealing, but i think it worked to her advantage to be in the shadows for four years, because now she's not being blamed for the failures of

the biden administration. so people are kind of like, oh , people are kind of like, oh, she's there. she's a woman. she's a person of colour. she's somebody who speaks in a kind of like, hey, we represent minorities type of way. and so i can say that i understand this because i voted for barack obama under those same kind of faux inspirational slogans, and i missed it for eight years that he was waging war in the middle east, that he was literally committing war crimes. and that hillary clinton was kind of holding his hand , waging war in holding his hand, waging war in syria, waging war in yemen, waging war in somalia. and so it's easy to sort of not understand those things because americans maybe are not studying and get excited about this archetype. that's what i see as is happening. and so when i see on social media and other places people who are excited about kamala harris, i'm like , why are kamala harris, i'm like, why are we not are we not assigning her blame for what the democratic party has done since the obama

administration? i'm very confused by it as much as i'm just sort of watching . just sort of watching. >> precisely. but but you put yourself you cast yourself in that role of having been beguiled by the by the machinery that got behind obama. but in a, in a way that kamala harris hasn't been. he was much more of an unknown quantity. americans have had years worth of footage of kamala harris being kamala harris and her her, her polling was through the floor. it was lower than it was lower than anybody almost had ever been. and yet suddenly, from the bottom of the well that polling is, you know, is in the ascendant, where is the memory and the awareness of the of the american viewer? >> it's confusing . but like >> it's confusing. but like i said, she flew under the radar for so long because joe biden was so fun to watch and because we had a war, we have a recession. she doesn't say anything of substance, so we can sort of pretend that that lack of substance is just her waiting

in the wings to pounce. i suppose that's really the only reason that i can say and also that donald trump is kind of a bumbling character. he's a known character. you know, some of the things i've seen online of people who want to be inspired by kamala harris is that she may be well educated, i don't know . be well educated, i don't know. can we call her erudite? she's she's well, i don't know. well, educated is not well spoken. we're seeing that play out increasingly as when she's asked, what is she going to do about inflation. she just explains that it's a problem. so i don't know. again, i think that it speaks to the fact that if you have a shiny, nice archetype and you can distract with the culture wars because her main promise for freedom is freedom to have an abortion, there's no other freedom that she stands for. we did a segment just this week about all the things that she's promising in terms of freedom. it's not freedom to criticise a war. heck no. it's not a freedom to criticise the government. it's not a freedom to question the

pandemic. no, all of those freedoms were taken away during the biden administration, but she's allowed to again, i just think she's she's a well, shellacked character when you just oppose her with joe biden, which is just sad at this point. >> greg swenson , natalie is >> greg swenson, natalie is alluding there to this , this alluding there to this, this slogan, this or this word freedom that has become the, you know, the point of the of the kamala harris , tim walz run for kamala harris, tim walz run for the run for the white house. what do you make of natalie's, questioning of exactly what they might mean by freedom, given their context? >> it's just they just use political slogans, right? she's not done interviews, kamala has not done interviews, kamala has not done interviews, nor has she done press conferences. so it's very well crafted. so the campaign and the party are just crafting this image of the, you know, the new and looking to the future and freedom. you know, that people overuse the word freedom. but not only is a great point freedom there there are no freedoms she's advocating. and i

think the collusion between the biden white house, which she was part of, or in spite of trying to distance herself, you know, colluded with social media companies to basically keep their narrative definitely with, with any kind of scepticism toward vaccines, any kind of scepticism toward mask mandates. but taxpayer funded abortions up until birth and even no, no protections for a child of a botched abortion that's savage. and it pulls at 13 and it pulls at 18 with democrats. and yet that's what she's leading with. >> not silly, not silly. when i when i heard i saw your piece about freedom and i immediately thought i was immediately inspired or reminded of the kris kristofferson or janis joplin line about freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. and i wonder if , in fact, lose. and i wonder if, in fact, consciously or unconsciously, what what kamala and waltz and the and the democratic party by extension, might be actually subliminally saying to people

what they're offering is freedom from freedom. stick with us. and you wouldn't have the onerous burden of freedom and open brackets. responsibility. >> well , look at what the brackets. responsibility. >> well, look at what the biden administration is litigating, right now. they are litigating for their freedom to continue to take your freedoms. so when it comes to the excellent point about social media censorship or freedom to continue to, let's see, redefine gender. that's what they want. freedom to keep open borders. now we see several states litigating for the right to close their borders. and the biden administration is litigating against it. they want to say, no open borders. you cannot protect yourself . so this cannot protect yourself. so this freedom is freedom for them. it's freedom for the limitless, limitless , kingmaker type power limitless, kingmaker type power that they are hungry for because the democrats are the company guy for big, big government. and

that's not to say that republicans are. they have no spine. they're not standing for anything. they're not showing us what they actually could do in terms of shrinking government or bringing us freedoms. but at the same time, the democrats are doing this hoodwink in terms of freedom, because it's really freedom, because it's really freedom for government, not for people. >> oh, you've raised even more subjects about which i could talk to you for the next hour at least. >> but natalie morris time is against me. i cannot recommend strongly enough that people tune in to watch redacted yourself and clayton, doing the job as independent journalists that the mainstream media is so often refusing or in any way failing to do not. the morris . it's been to do not. the morris. it's been lovely to hear your perspectives . lovely to hear your perspectives. >> likewise. likewise, i really enjoy your show as well. and, we study really hard to deserve our audience, and i can tell that you do too . so, we're bookish you do too. so, we're bookish nerds who are trying to get the truth. >> indeed. we will talk again. natalie morris , thanks so much. natalie morris, thanks so much. coming up next, we'll be asking

a finance expert what caused stock markets around the world to plummet this week, losing billions in value, we're told don't go anywhere

welcome back to the neal oliver show. financial turmoil hit stock markets around the globe this week. the us stock market saw its biggest daily drop in almost two years. well, 40 billion was wiped off the ftse 100 on monday. were these somewhat random fluctuations or worrying signifiers that a recession may be around the corner to discuss with? i'm joined by andy shechtman, president and owner of miles franklin precious metals. to great see you again, andy neal. >> thanks for having me, sir.

it's a pleasure to be here. >> appreciate it. great stuff. now, the stock market, this week was that, blips or was it the beginning of the end? i keep heanng beginning of the end? i keep hearing threats of the hurricane looming, my guest here in the studio, greg swenson , is talking studio, greg swenson, is talking about cracks, or they're in the in the us economy. what significance should we take from what happened this week, >> i mean, it's , look, the >> i mean, it's, look, the largest single one day point drop in the index's history. it's a big deal. it the biggest drop in the history of the nikkei, biggest drop we've seen in, i don't know how many years, taiwan, 57 years, south korea since, the great financial crisis . it's not something to be crisis. it's not something to be underestimated. and, neal, what i really think the big, big issue is, is that similar to the united states, similar to what was witnessed in the united kingdom, when rates, when they tried to raise rates, saw what happened with the pension system. well japan tries to

raise rates a little bit, strengthen their their currency and all hell breaks loose. the nikkei starts to collapse and it starts to reverberate around the world. this japan carry trade is a big deal, but what it signifies to me is just how much we are trapped between austerity and inflation. can we normalise the balance sheet, or do we have to give in to inflation? and what does that lead to? so it really signals to me that due to the suppression of interest rates for a very long time, all of these governments have painted themselves into a corner. and you can see what happens when you try to normalise just trying to normalise just trying to normalise a little bit creates a catastrophic chain reaction all the way around the globe. but it's not a good sign, really isn't. neil. for the longest time it has felt like a can that was able to be kicked ever further down the road , but that further down the road, but that was underwritten by the us

hegemony and the us dominance of everything financial , the everything financial, the petrodollar, the reserve currency and all of the rest of it. >> but as i understand it, as a financial novice , that time is financial novice, that time is either over or coming to an end. and we have the rise of phenomena . if i can use that phenomena. if i can use that word like the em bridge , like word like the em bridge, like the gold backed, unit, which is a token of currency for the brics nations. there are so many alternatives now to us hegemony that what had been a can to kick down the road now feels as if it might finally be being confronted in real time . confronted in real time. >> yeah. i mean, the can was able to be kicked down the road, neil, because of confidence. confidence in the united states, confidence in the world, reserve currency . we are a country right currency. we are a country right now that has creating get this $100,000 worth of debt one two per second, five, six, seven and go on as long as you can keep snapping 100,000 in debt every second, 24 over seven. that's $1

trillion worth of debt every 100 days. it took 200 years to do it the first time. so we are destroying the value of the currency. and when you talk about confidence, that is what backs this currency right now . backs this currency right now. it used to be backed by gold. right. and then you could argue loosely the petro dollar which saudi arabia just a few weeks ago said, listen, we're not going to sign resign the exclusivity deal. we'll still take dollars , but we're opening take dollars, but we're opening it up and that immediately killed the hegemony, didn't kill the supremacy. yet but when you look at the way things are being conducted in the united states, both from a standpoint of massively irresponsible fiscal policy spending, like we're we're addicted to , you know, we're addicted to, you know, like, like a drug addict who can't get off the drug. and we continue to spend and spend and borrow. and we look at the united states and the united kingdom as an example. one broke nafion kingdom as an example. one broke nation borrowing from another broke nation. the uk is buying all the debt from the us right now. i mean, it's almost laughable. and when you talk

about what this truly means. yeah we have lost confidence not only in the way we manage our currency, but we've weaponized the dollar against a country like russia. this has nothing to do with my feelings on russia. but when you take $5 billion of russian assets and use the proceeds to give to the ukraine a country, they're in the midst of a war with in the form of weapons, that's a line you don't come back from, and you're seeing the same thing with you , seeing the same thing with you, with the european union taking the interest on 280 billion of russian assets and using it to fund a loan to the ukraine. these are our problems which are chipping away at the trust. and when you talk about mismanagement of the currency, weaponization of the treasury market, and then just what's happening in our country , happening in our country, lawlessness, open borders, questions around the election and the judicial system, it's all chipping away at the full faith and confidence of a system thatis faith and confidence of a system that is no longer backed by anything and is leading to the rise of, like you said, project

tonbridge and the unit currency and i'm impressed that you said that because not enough people know about it, but it might be the very biggest thing that the west has faced in a very, very, very long time. and god bless you for having the, the, the, the knowledge to talk about it, because really, to me, it's being way underestimated at its significance. >> bear with me, andy. with me in the studio, greg swenson, these really do feel like tumultuous times that we're living in. you know , i grew up living in. you know, i grew up in a world in which the us was just the good guy, was just the trusted presence, the white hatted cowboy and i. i long to live in a world in which that that might be true, but it doesn't feel true at the moment. and in fact, america has actually managed to cast itself as the hypocrite on the world stage by this weaponization of the dollar that andy's talking about. you know, taking russian assets. about. you know, taking russian assets . europe, you know, it's assets. europe, you know, it's taking and spending the interest on russian money in european banks. and now the rest of the

world, which is where most people live, looks on at the us and says, we can't trust these guys. >> right. and because you never know who's going to be next and, and, you know, you have to pick youn and, you know, you have to pick your, you know, you can't pick your, you know, you can't pick your enemies, but you have to pick your friends. you know, wisely. and the us hasn't done that. and at least in the last three years. and so, you know, the biden administration and this is where the lack of trust that andy mentioned comes in the biden administration , you know, biden administration, you know, shut down the, you know, reopen the keystone pipeline or the xl pipeline. and then when russia didn't behave, they wanted the way they wanted them to behave , way they wanted them to behave, they shut it down again. they cosied up to, you know, they shut down the energy industry in the us and that affects our allies, right? that affects natural gas. prices went up fivefold in the uk and europe thanks to biden. you know, stepping on the neck of the us energy industry. it affects world prices. it affects our allies. and so that caused much pain. you know, i mean

fertiliser companies were going out of business here in the uk. so you know with friends like that who needs enemies. and so yes, that lack of trust is increasing. and i think then of course, a year later jake sullivan went to moscow to beg putin to pump more oil, good enough to jump in there, greg, coming up next, iranian academic and political analyst mohammad saeed marandi will be here to discuss fears that the middle east crisis may escalate. >> i will see you shortly . >>a >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb
