chris hedges on the left is indicated this is done for other political reasons.me say this, there are always lyrical consequences to an indictment from which people in the media and the blogosphere can talk about the way in which they see it, but the point here is we have a system -- we try to have a system of the rule of law where if people are violating the law, they are violating the law, the prosecutors investigate the facts, they have discretion as to do, but we expect there will be accountability in law. there maybe other consequences from which people can argue politically, for instance donald trump may say if he is convicted and indicted, it will affect his election. no doubt that is true or should be true and may be true. people may vote for him anyway. but there will be consequences. similarly, you can argue all day long the reasons underlying the indictment, but we are looking at cases that really are about the legal system and whether we believe in a legal system and the rule of law. amy: can you compare what is happening now, this unprecedented indic

of members of congressave been black, if that had been a crowd of muslims, i can assure you and chris hedgesences would be far longer and ere would be no political support as there is from o political party of the "political prisoners." they are not. i don't agree they have been treated in an excessive way. now, has serving and overfocus on the foot soldiers? on the ringleaders? that i agree with. has the department of justice in our judicial and legal system on only after the people who are ransacking the capitol and going after memberof congress and assaulting police officers? yes. at the expense of the people in charge, has. i am amazed we are more than two years at an donald trump is running for president. ink about how the rest of the world sees it. a president who lost an election refused to leave office, claimed he had not lost, incited in armed election, then left office and carried on inciting more insurrection is now running for office again and pulling pretty well. what would we save we saw that in another country? our judicial system clearly cannot handle a republican party that

chris hedges gave a very, very powerful speech at the rage against a war machine rally. and he just talked about this world of allusions, that is neil cons live in the intellectual dishonesty. the willingness to see things realistically at all. and you know, i think they live in a kind of bubble. they're not in tune with regular people, certainly not. in russia, that region of the world. and so it's a very dangerous situation when you have this braided, as you put a kind of fanatics in, already seen this havoc, they've wreaked in the middle east. they're attempt to overthrow government after government. so i mean that the american government really has been hijacked by these extremists and it's a threat to humanity at this point. and yeah, it's unbelievable to be provoking china and russia at the same time, at a time when the u. s. economy is weakening and when china and the on these countries are becoming ever more stronger, you know, a pike. he give us the economics of it here. i mean, you've been on the program many times since the started the military operation in uk

america has become, in the words of chris hedges, a mafia state a small cabal of people controls ourt and uses it to wage war for economic gain saying the difference between our mafia state before and now before the mafia helped defeat the nazis. yes, it's true, true to you now she expresses something incredible speech is going on, really the third world war america is a world terrorist. we provoked the current crisis, but people don't know that the cia conspired, right-wing nazi radicals to overthrow the democratically elected government of ukraine in 2014. nobody will tell you this. i am still convinced that ukraine does not need to be given money, that it is necessary to come to peace in this country, and not to wage war. as long as i am on the air, i can directly address zelensky better. take your hands off our sons and daughters, for they won't die there. then it will be very difficult to put a repentant monster on a diet. he promised that american children will die in ukraine well, let's see, in the meantime, in the uk , the closest allies of the united states are also unable t

let's ask chris murphy he'll give us the pulse of the option space and don't get too excited about the good news just yet we'll reveal the new recession hedgea moment. chris, you are seeing some signs of optimism here in the short term >> sure, not only optimism, but volatility in general, just coming in a lot. it may be surprising to hear, but the last three days of this week, the s&p has traded in the less than 1% open to close intraday range that's the first time we have had three straight days since the market peaked at the very beginning of 2022. so it's been over a year since we have had this kind of intraday calm. and when things start to calm down in general, you know, people get a little bit more optimistic about their stocks, and the fed has not really been the market's friend for over a year but when the going got tough with the banks, you know, we were reminded that at the end of the day, the fed's balance sheet is there to protect the market so that calmed people down >> where else do you see bullish signs? >> well, we're seeing bullish flow in airlines, in medals, in china, and of course, we're seeing bullish flow in mega cap

. >>> stay defensive and hedge your equity exposure that's the message to high net worth clients from a top rated private wealth advisory team chris toomey is back with us good to see you. especially during these times. you've been negative, you shared that consistent view with us and our viewers for months do the events of the last week make you more so >> i think so. from our standpoint, we have been pretty patient in our defensive position we watched rates go higher we saw the multiple contract and we started to see that flow into negativity with earnings. we think that started, but this operates in long lags. so we have been a little bit antsy with regard to the fact this has gone longer and we think there is a reason for it the reason has been there was so much liquidity put into the system, there were these additional facilities put in place, which elongated that liquidity and these businesses, where they didn't really have that judgment day and i think we're starting to see all of that work the fed do come to fruition. >> what does that mean for -- if you're more net negative than before, where do you think stocks are going
