Discussion on COVID and Economic Impact

I came across you during the COVID scam,

and I keep calling it a COVID scam because it is a scam.

It continues to be a scam, in my view.

And you had some really insightful things to say about COVID.

In a nutshell, what do you think the point of COVID was?

Essentially, what we experienced was a central bank reset,

or the beginning of a central bank reset,

which was consolidating a process

that I refer to as the financial cove.

So basically, look at this as a

major consolidation of the economy.

So what you do is you shut down the small business and small farms.

You leave the publicly traded companies open.

You inject 5 trillion. That gives them a lot of liquidity.

And then they're in a position

to consolidate the market share of the small businesses

and buy up assets cheap from anybody who's got to sell assets

to get the income they need to keep their operation going.

And so you whack

the guys you want to consolidate, and then you give a shopping

basket to the guys who you want to pick up market share and assets.

And that's what they did.

In the United States,

one number I saw was 35 of the small businesses bankrupted or went under.

In San Francisco, at one point,

it was 49 of the to pick up market share because you don't have

to buy it or compete for it. You just shut them down.

And there was a magical moment. I wish you could have seen it.

We plucked this out for one of our top videos of the year.

When Andrew Sorkin is interviewing

Rick Santilli, and Rick Santilli is sitting on the floor of the Stock Exchange,

and he's saying, I don't understand it.

I go into the mall, Costco's open, it's packed, the parking lot is packed,

but all the little businesses are

closed because it's not safe because of the virus. Can't the virus go into Costco?

And Sorkin says, no, no, no, that's science.

There is actually and

should be an ongoing debate as to, you know, why

a parking lot for a big box store, like by my house is jam packed,

not one parking spot open.

Why are those people any safer than a restaurant with plexiglass?

I just don't get it.

The it's unbelievable.

I disagree.

You're wearing a mask.

You're required to wear a mask. It's science. I'm sorry.

It's science. If you're wearing a mask, it's a different story.

500 people in a Lowe's aren't any safer than

150 people in a restaurant that holds 600. I don't believe it. Sorry.
