two things. I just saw a story about what we were talking about, the cats and dogs being eaten in Ohio. But I just saw a story just today about how the street gangs in Chicago are now going to war with the Venezuelan gangs that the US is importing. So we've got this big gang war going on. And we've got the gangbangers in Chicago becoming Trump voters. You're listening to Carrie Lutz's financial survival network where you get valuable information you just can't find anywhere else.

I'm Carrie Lutz, your host. John Rivino is with us after a long hiatus. John, what are they eating here in Springfield, Ohio? Are they eating the cats? Are they eating the dogs? Or is this all just a segment of our collective imagination here? Yeah, you got to wonder what they're doing to Ohio, you know, what the problem is because I grew up in Ohio, actually. I was not too far from East Palestine where that train blew up and Springfield is not that far away either. And now we've got, yeah, they're eating the cats and dogs in Ohio. You know, I have no idea about the the veracity of a lot of this stuff, but it's hilarious. You know, you got to admit, it's just damn funny, you know, to have this stuff going on right now, because it's creating a lot of very cool memes and videos and things out there. So there's a passion for a lot of people. But I know, I know. And oh, by the way, care, congratulations on being out of YouTube jail. I'm looking forward to being seen on this show by the audience you should have had all along, which is 10 times what YouTube let you have there for a while. So I mean, yeah, I had to like Martin Armstrong, 130,000 views, which I had had in the past before I wound up in YouTube in the digital reeducation arc. What do you call that? The digital reeducation camps and the gulags. I was in the gulag. I wasn't in the camp. And Andy Shekman, he did about 40,000 or so. So we're free. Well, see, that's the that's the viewership you should have had all along. So it's nice to see you get it back. And then, you know, be grateful that he was just digital gulag, because you know, they've got all this internment camps out there. And I, you know, I think that people on our side of the political spectrum are probably destined for those camps before all is said and done. So yeah, I'll tell you, like, countries have been exporting their undesirables to this country since Georgia and the Carolinas. Remember, they were fetal colonies, an indentured servant servants indentured servitude, which is specifically done away with in the constitution. But you know, in a later times, latter times in the 70s, Cuba did the Mario boat lift where they empty their mental hospitals and their prisons and said, Hey, the streets are paved with gold in America, go there and make your fortune. And South Florida has never been the same. Now I'm not putting down the Cuban community. Honestly, they make more than Native Americans. And it's vibrant. But the jails in South Florida were never the same. The law enforcement, the lawlessness that occurred as a result of that boat lift, and Venezuela and Colombia, and all the countries of South America, I guess we should be glad that El Salvador built their super max prison. Otherwise, they would have shipped them all off here as well, right? Yeah. Okay. Open borders can have only two points, only reason only two reasons for existing one is to flood a country with new voters. We're going to vote for the people who let them in in order to give one political party a big advantage over the other. And that's obvious. And I think that's indisputable. And the other is to destabilize a society and set the stage for martial law. And that's, that's the little more arguable. But I think that's completely possible to that that's one of the reasons that we have open borders now. And you know, both of them are very bad. And both of them are leading to just crazy stuff happening to things. I just saw a story about what we were talking about, the cats and dogs being eaten in Ohio. But I just saw a story just today about how the street gangs in Chicago are now going to war with the Venezuelan gangs that the US is importing. So we've got this big gang war going on. And we've got the gang bangers in Chicago becoming Trump voters, because they know who to blame for the extra competition that they're seeing. And so, so this is going to be, I mean, this isn't going to end anytime soon, because, you know, that nothing's going to happen to send those Venezuelans back, at least for the next six or so months, probably. And that means you're literally going to have gang wars there between existing gangs and new gangs coming in and trying to take over. So yeah, it's, it's just a shocking thing that we did, because none of it is actually good for the US. It helps one political party, where it helps the, you know, the aristocracy when they want who declare martial law. But it doesn't help the country as a whole, in any way, shape or form, you know, and I think there will be political consequences for this. But I'm not sure they're going to be sufficient to offset the harm that is being caused by open borders. And, you know, just just look at where we're going to be five or 10 years from now, just look at Europe. I think Europe might be gone. Europe is beyond redemption right now, because the demographics have moved so dramatically against native born Europeans that that culture is on the way out. And, and so hopefully, you know, because there's nothing we can do to help. But hopefully that is a, an object lesson for us. And maybe we'll learn that lesson before it's too late. But man, like the guys in charge don't really want to learn that lesson at all. Hey, and, you know, well, we don't want to get too political here. But I think this is the defining now that the statistics have come out that we imported deliberately over 13,000 murderers and 15,000 sex offenders. And God knows what else 600,000 criminals. It was the purpose for allowing them into this country other than to, to raise mayhem and to break down the societal order that's cloud-driven on steroids using the penal system. And the only way that you can combat it is through some type of martial law, or just saying, hey, they're illegal aliens. You don't get any constitutional protections. You're out of here. And then you just put them on a ship. And you send them back to Venezuela, to Honduras, to all these countries, to Haiti, wherever they come from and say, you know, they're your problem, you know, have at it. But there's millions of them that have come in over the border. And, you know, we do want the hardworking ones. They do play a vital role, but look, like, like I laughingly say, Biden's three major accomplishments in his term, John, his number once, he ended a useless war in Afghanistan, brought our troops home in a week, right? He ended the labor shortage that we were having after COVID, right? And we talked about this before, he rescued the hotel industry, especially in New York and Chicago and LA, right? Yeah, yeah, he did do all of those things. You were absolutely right. Those are his accomplishments. Okay, leading from here to World War three, speaking of Biden's accomplishments, yeah, well, you know, we are seriously drifting into a shooting war with nuclear powers. And we got a dementia patient as president, the vice president is running a political campaign where, you know, which might be better than having, I don't want to get too political, but I'm, you know, as a father of two sons, I'm terrified of us going, going to war with nuclear powers. And it really does feel like we're doing that. So yeah, you know, it's, so there's stuff we can laugh about. And then there's other stuff that is in no way funny. I mean, there's nothing funny about nuclear Armageddon. And we're probably as close to that as we have been since you and I've been alive. Period. You know, the, the, the 60s and 70s were pretty contentious globally. But I think this is worse. And, and so if we get through the next six months, I think we'll have a little bit of breathing room and maybe see some, you know, clear, clear ground to do some work on. But boy, the next six months are going to be scary times. You know, all of these neocons grew up in the 60s and they listened to Randy Newman. If you remember him, the other song, they all hate us any house. So let's drop the big one now. And they didn't realize that that was satire. They thought that should be government policy. Well, what was that song in Dr. Strange Love? Because if it was, that's, I think that movie, okay, I think that movie was a template for these guys too, because the, um, the aristocracy had bonkers right at the end. Dr. Strange Love is telling the generals and everybody that they've set up a bunch of bonkers. And now we have to repopulate the earth. So we've brought in a lot of healthy young women to help you repopulate the earth. And the generals are like, Oh, all right. When you put it that way. And I, I really do think that the, um, the billionaires of the world and, and the other parts of the aristocracy have their bonkers and literally think they can survive when nuclear war. And so they just basically don't care what happens to the peasants in the, and so they're not putting a stop to this. Here's the, here's verse one. No one likes us. I don't know why we may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try. And all around the world, even our old friends put us down. Let's drop the big one and see what happens. This is where we're going through. Yeah, we are very close to something like that. Yeah. You know, we're trying to destroy civilization via open borders. And we're coming at it from another direction, trying to destroy civilization via a, you know, potentially existential war. And, and there's nothing we can do about it because we don't even know who's in charge. Ah, what a world. Well, you know, uh, according to a certain element of this group, we're all a bunch of useless eaters. The world is overpopulated by about 90%. So they're doing the earth a favor by reducing the population, right? Isn't that what it's about? Oh, see, I mean, they've already figured out how to do pandemics. And that's so much leaner. It seems so much simpler than, um, well, they got a practice. Yeah, they got in practice. So yeah, they figured out that they can do it now. And so that's, that's a long list of things. Well, hey, if we don't have World War three, think of how much your gold and silver are now going to be worth. See, that's the trade off. Oh, yes. I don't want to say that's the most frustrating thing about this, but it is, is, it is making it hard for me to enjoy watching my big old stack of gold and silver go up in value. And you know, having lots of recapital will play with is a good thing until the bomb hits your, your town, you know, in your vaporize. So, so if they would just let me stop worrying about it, I would really enjoy the whole gold and silver action lately. Yeah. Well, it's a little tough when you're dealing with existential threats, but, uh, but I do believe we're going to somehow avoid this, but I do wonder who's watching the store because it's nobody we elected who in theory is supposed to do this stuff is paying any attention to it. So, uh, but it's all the, uh, the deep state, I guess that's running things. It's the joint chiefs of staff. It's the heads of the state department. It's the CEOs of the demand, defense and pharmaceutical companies. Uh, and it's a, you know, handful of other people that had are just very rich and very powerful. Yeah. Bill Gates is weighing in on this, you know, and George Short, did you see what they did with George Soros just lately? His, his son. Yeah. They expedited the purchase by the Soros companies of 200 more. It was a radio or TV. Yeah. Conservative radio stations are buying out the chain. They'll throw off everybody, but, you know, the thing is that talk radio, it still has a following, but it's been in a steady death spiral since, uh, Rush Limbaugh died and it demographically, it's just like the younger generations don't have any patience for talk radio. No, no, you still, Bill, you know, those are media outlets that are going to have a very different message, um, put into them by somebody from another country with a billion dollars to play with and whose attitude is that open borders are a good thing. So yeah, it's not good, but you're right. Right. Talk radio is, um, is losing ground to, um, podcasts. So you, as long as you've got, um, YouTube, which is, you know, iffy on a lot of things and rumble and Spotify, you can still hear most of the, the good voices out there. Yeah. But, uh, but the, you know, the next thing is just to come after them. And, uh, they're, they're trying that hard with, um, um, with arresting the guy from, um, what was the name of that place? You know, the, um, the, um, the, uh, the free speech, I'll, I'll think of it in a minute. Um, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean, in Europe and France, they write them. Yes, that was a telegram. Telegram, you know, a telegram. And they, yeah, about that. And they let him go subsequently, but he had to submit to some things. Yes. He's now, he's now providing information about his people to the governments. Yeah. This is alarming because a lot of people use telegram. Um, I don't personally use it. There's only so many platforms you can use. And then your head starts spinning. I kind of got into TikTok a little bit. And, uh, but TikTok is for people with no more than a 45 second attention span, right? Yeah. Um, and it's, it's in no way private. No. So you're just, you're just funneling information to the Chinese government instead of the US government. Um, so, you know, that there's, there are very few free speech platforms and very few private platforms out there. And they're, they're shrinking by the day. And but, um, but you know that there's still hope because a lot of people are watching this and they're coming to the correct conclusion, but, um, that speech is the only thing that stands between us and them and them, you know, they who, who wanted to take over the world and run it as a dictatorship shouldn't be in charge. So, yeah, we'll see. I, I, yeah, I see it. What you're talking about. And this is not an ad for Trump. You know, you and I both know he's not the answer. He's never really ever squarely addressed the deficit or a lot of other problems that we have in the country. Obviously he's hell bent on addressing the military industrial complex now though, in the deep state. And, you know, if I were them, I'd be a little bit concerned, wouldn't you? Yeah, you know, if Trump came in and he wanted revenge and he went for it, that would be bad for the country in the long run because it would set a precedent, but that's what incoming administrations do. They go, they take out their competition, but sure would be a hilarious watch. That would be just the most entertaining thing in the world to see like Nancy Pelosi being purple locked in in handcuffs for insider trading or Hillary. Oh my God, you know, a March, I'm all off the Gitmo March 7 off. Yeah. I mean, again, I'm not saying it would be a good thing, but it would be hilarious though. Some, some bad things are hilarious. It's not a good thing. And it's not necessarily an undeserved punishment for them, because what they've done, the way they've come after him, is just the, you know, it's shocking. Yeah, well, I mean, they weaponize the Justice Department and they've got the FBI, you know, actively covering up investigations into things relating to Trump and you've got the Justice Department expediting every kind of indictment that you can think of. So, you know, it's obvious. That's what's happening. And I do not want Trump to emulate that kind of behavior. If he's not elected, I mean, maybe just like one week of terp walking these guys, you know, if they don't get Chuck Schumer and and they deserve to admit a prison, orange prison jumpsuit and pretty much. Yeah. Okay. Well, they hesitate to do it to him, John. Oh, of course not. Of course not. But again, see, we, we want to go back to being a country that has some respect for the rule of laws. And the only way you can do that is to not use the government as a political weapon against your enemies. You know, you have to, you have to make everything about the law and not about your personal preferences or your desire for revenge. And so, you know, hopefully Trump takes that route and his own success is his revenge. Well, that's what does, but I mean, it's understandable if he feels differently, you know, if he wants to send a justice department after some of these guys for the real crimes that they committed, I get it. I just don't know where that leads. I don't know if it leads to a place that will be happy to be in the future. You know, it's like the average person will not be able to differentiate him doing it as opposed to what Biden did to they won't. Yeah, it'll just be what you do when you're elected, you know, Kerry, remember when you and I used to just talk about financial crises and how to get rich from them? That was a long time ago. You're, but I mean, you're, you're a show as financial survival network. And I used to run dollar collapse.com, you know, and that so finance was our thing. Untical politics and geopolitics almost made finance irrelevant because obviously gold and silver is going to go up in the chaos that's coming. Obviously, oil is going to go up when we have a Middle Eastern nuclear war. So the investment part of this gets really easy, which I guess we should be thankful for. You know, there's no real thought process. It has to go into buying all the gold. You can get a hold of and then a bunch of energy assets on the side and then just sitting back and watching the chaos ensue and watching your net worth go up. But, you know, it was more fun when we had to strategize a little bit. You had to think. Yeah. Like, yeah, this is like the nifty 50 stocks, you know, you buy them one decision stocks and you're, uh, you're set for life. Now it's a one decision, two decisions. How much gold, how much silver you can afford. Yeah, I've seen it. And then you sit back. The difference is the nifty 50 stocks were a mirage. They tanked and cost everybody fortunes who put money into it. But gold and silver are like that. You know, one decision asset where it's going to go up for quite a while. You know, we're going to have plenty of time to get out of our gold and silver in the next decade because there's so much, um, grunt loaded chaos right now that, you know, it's it's it's it's unfixable from the point of view of us going back to a placid society that could grow organically in a healthy way. It's going to take a really long time to get back there. And in the meantime, terrified people are going to be buying inflation hedges and safe haven assets. So it is scary, but what choice do you have? And, uh, just because the country's going down the tubes, as we used to say, it doesn't mean you have to go with it, or at least you got a means of, uh, self-preservation. But, uh, yeah, this is, uh, the situation that doesn't show any signs of the improving itself. We need this mass, uh, um, raising of consciousness around the globe that our governments are, uh, really not to be trusted and they need to be thrown out. And we need to kind of start over here. But, uh, hey, so the idea of it actually happening, I don't, uh, I don't hold on any great hope. Well, I think we'll leave it at that. We had a couple of good laughs and, uh, we're following the, uh, Springfield, Ohio story closely to see, uh, to see what, when they start shipping the, uh, products out of Springfield, we'll know it was true, right, John? Yeah. Um, it's hard, it's hard to know where that goes because that's, uh, you know, it's hard to picture a town getting, having a population go up by one third, um, from people from, you know, very different cultures and how you make that work. And I would, it's, it's not obvious how you make it work. So we'll see. But, but I think the gang were in Chicago. Um, I would, I would bet on the local gang, because there's an awful lot of them, but you never know, as many ones are tough and brutal. Let's not forget they have a rich culture of gang warfare going back to Al Capone and the SAID Valentine's Day massacre. And you know, these, these Chicago gangs, uh, they're very tough and, and they don't take competitive threats lately. Yeah. Okay. I, there they should be on one of those betting sites, a Chicago body count, over a wonder bet. Yeah. Where, where are you bet? Is it going to be more than 10,000 dead people this year or less than 10,000? You can bet on that. So I think that would be one of the most popular bets. And, uh, no wonder like all those people from Chicago are coming to Arizona and to Florida, tons of Midwestern years here. It would have come anyway, just to get away from the awful weather, kind of flying, uh, bullets, just an added incentive to get out of that place. You know, Oh, you, oh, you mean the, um, the bed is waiting on gangs and ever get at her. Okay. Well, good luck to them in the Sunbelt. I think, I think the populace is well in a farmed that, um, yeah, we know who's going to win that for sure. Well, Colorado, we know they're in Colorado. They took over that place in Aurora that everybody denies. Well, it's definitely going to get interesting and, uh, you know, uh, one of our, uh, colleagues said, uh, God, gold and guns. And don't forget the ammo stock up on the ammo. And I don't know what else, uh, probably some food and a water filter and a backup generator. It's probably not a bad idea either, John. Indeed. Time to be preppers. All right. Well, make sure you go over to John's sub stack, Rabino.substack.com. And there's a link in the show that's this interview on Artsite Financial Survival Network.com.

We had a guy on the other day, John, who they figured out how to use IRAs for Bitcoin now, if you could believe it. It was just a matter of time, you know, but it's something to look into and see how they work. We should have the old. Yeah. Why not? So all right, John, we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks.
