Economic War Room

Our system has been rigged for too long to benefit the rich and powerful. Yet that wasn't the intent of the pioneers who founded and built America. When this country was first established, regular people had deep conversations and debates about money even 100 years ago. "What is money?" was a topic for regular discussion. It's about to be a topic again with central bank digital currency, something we talk about all the time on the program. But now when there's a discussion, it's going to be about money that's being forced on us without our input or our thought and used against us. Kevin takes a deep dive into what the Founders believed to be economic justice and why it matters for today. @ EconomicWarRoom

"It's not just about digital forms of physical currency. You can have programmability, you know, units of central bank currency with expiry dates. You could have, as I argue in my book, a potentially better and some people might see it or a darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things, but not other things that it deems less desirable, like, say, ammunition or drugs or pornography or something of the sort." -Eswar Prasad, WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, June 2023 @ EconomicWarRoom

Today, if you use ten pre-1964 dimes, it'll buy five gallons of gas based on the silver content. That raises the key question borrowing a phrase from Capital One, "What's in your wallet?" You're about to find out and it's likely not good. @ EconomicWarRoom

In 1971, President Nixon shocked the world by abandoning the gold standard. He said it was temporary. The move made international waves but has largely been forgotten. But is it true that those things that cost $1 today could be bought for $0.13 in 1971? That's based on official government inflation statistics. And those are probably understated. And the Federal Reserve notes that you have in your pocket, they certainly buy a lot less than they did 50 years ago. @ EconomicWarRoom

One hundred years ago, people thought money was a topic worth discussing. Before that, the founders talked about it all the time. Well, it's about to become a great topic again with central bank digital currency. Take a look at a $20 bill. Is this money? Unequivocally, yes. Today it is. But by historical standards, no. Wait, how can that be? It all depends on your perspective. Join Kevin as he takes you on a "National Treasure"-style hunt, searching through clues left by our founders of this great republic. They lived in a world of pirates. To learn their hidden secret, we'll have to change our thinking. And this book is a road map to that treasure. @ EconomicWarRoom

If we don't change course now Gordon Chang says, "We're going to lose our country. And before that, we will lose a war with China. On June 7th, Henry Kissinger, in an interview with Bloomberg, said that war between China and the United States is, 'probable.' Kissinger said something has to change. Well, China's not changing. It could be changing, becoming even more militant. But the Biden administration is not changing its accommodationist policies towards China."

"The W.H.O. on January 9th and on January 14th, one in a statement and the other in a tweet told the world that Covid 19 was not readily transmissible human to human. The doctors, by the way, at the W.H.O., knew that this was highly contagious. Maria Van Kerkhove, an American epidemiologist/virologist, said this looked just like MERS because she was a MERS specialist. So she knew that and she was a senior doctor. But nonetheless, the political leadership of W.H.O. purposefully spread a narrative that was not only dangerous because it lulled health officials around the world to sleep, but they had to know that this was false." - Gordon Chang

"US Customs and Border Protection knows that some of them have connections to the Chinese military. So the question is what's going on here? I think that these are saboteurs. They are going to be the ones attacking America When there is a war in Asia. They're going to be going after our grid. They're going to poison our reservoirs, assassinate officials, detonate bombs in shopping centers, starting wildfires. This is something that the Biden administration is not paying attention to." -Gordon Chang @ EconomicWarRoom

Where was China's leader the day that Janet Yellen arrived in Beijing to try to re-establish communication? Well, he was visiting the People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theater Command. The Eastern Theater Command is the one that is going to lead the attack on Taiwan. He was telling the soldiers there that they need to have breakthroughs in preparedness. It was another of his "let's go to war" speeches. Noted author and China expert Gordon Chang joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the escalating threats of China's war talk and what must be done to counter it. @ EconomicWarRoom

"Well, we wanted to rebuild Jefferson's home because we wanted to have a place where our constitutional defense center could be housed, where we're going to defend the Bill of Rights. We're going to be defending the Constitution and the Declaration from an intellectual perspective. In other words, we want to be ready and able to respond with good media when there's an attack on those principles as we continue to train these young people and these coaches as they come to the campus." -Rick Green, Founder Patriot Academy @ EconomicWarRoom

"It's a chance for any American citizen that wants to be part of the solution to join us. They don't have to know anything about the law or history of the Constitution, yet they can join us for free. We'll train them. In fact, when they host their first class, that's when they really learn. All they got to be able to do is turn on the power hit play." –Rick Green, Founder Patriot Academy @ EconomicWarRoom

"We take young people and we train them and equip them. We teach them how to be leaders. We teach them how to communicate. We teach them how to fight, you know, ethically, how to go into their culture and be difference makers. And so, yeah, I'm that's, that's honestly, that's why I'm more optimistic than most people because I go out and I get to be around these kids and I get to see what God's doing and what he's raising up. So that makes me a little - not a little, a lot more optimistic than most people today." - Rick Green, Founder Patriot Academy @ EconomicWarRoom

PragerU reports that 16% of Gen Z adults are proud to live in America, compared to 73% of Baby Boomers. That is to be expected when we have been pouring the poison of cultural Marxism into our education system for decades. Our kids have been taught America is bad. It's evil, and we've got a terrible track record of slavery and worse. But when you compare it to the rest of the world and the rest of history, America is the greatest, most powerful, most benevolent nation in world history, but these kids aren't proud of it because they've been lied to about who we are. Rick Green, founder of Patriot Academy, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to share what he is doing to teach young people about values-based capitalism and what he is doing to restore the American spirit in the next generation. @ EconomicWarRoom Item License Code: FQVNYH3DTP Item License Code: XEPABD8QMN

Most "Clean Energy" product components come from the cobalt mines in Africa, where Unicef reports 40,000 kids between the ages of four and 13 are working in these mines in unsafe conditions. There have been some great books. "Cobalt Red" talk about this very issue. But over 80% of those mines in the Congo, in Africa are owned by the Chinese Communist Party. @ EconomicWarRoom

"When you look at the actual facts of life and our life expectancy, the health outcomes that we've experienced over the last 100 years as we've produced more energy, people that have access to affordable, reliable energy, people are living 20 to 30 years longer and healthier environments with clean air, with access to clean water. Times are much better. These are good things that are happening because we have access to more affordable, reliable energy means we can build stronger homes, we can live longer, healthier lives, and don't have to work nearly as hard as we would have 100 to 150 years ago." - Jason Issac @ EconomicWarRoom

"We produce oil more responsibly than anywhere else on the face of the earth. And the last thing we must do is keep it in the ground. We need to be pulling it up out of the ground because really we've got to this I call it our third-millennium energy. It's not our 20th-century energy. It's our third-millennium energy. We've got enough energy that we know about to power our civilization for the next thousand years. And it does produce so many more products than just electricity or gasoline for our cars." - Jason Issac

Thanks to our private property rights in this country, there is an economic incentive to extract minerals to produce vital energy. The oil that is extracted powers our lives. We take energy for granted, but over 3.5 billion people only have intermittent electricity enough to power a refrigerator. We have enough known oil and gas energy reserves to power our civilization for the next thousand years. And it does produce so many more products than just electricity or gasoline for our cars. Jason Isaac joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to dispel the false narratives about the energy industry and the dangers that few are willing to talk about. @ EconomicWarRoom Item License Code: FQVNYH3DTP Item License Code: XEPABD8QMN
