Transcript

Don’t look back because the market is closed. Good Thursday afternoon, everyone. Kip Herriage here with the deadly VRA Investing podcast. Hope you had a good day today. Very somber day here carried over from yesterday. What a very tough day. You know, today I was on Fox Business with Charles Payne and good segment, I thought. But I got a call for the producer about 30 minutes before I was supposed to go on who said, listen, don’t, we’re not, none of the guests are going to be talking about what’s happened here.

I said, you mean Charlie, Charlie Kirk being assassinated and the 24th anniversary of 9 11. Hate to even call it anniversary. 24 years since 911 is. Yeah, those two. Like he said. Yeah. Every, every, we’re telling every guest we’re not going to be talking about it. We’re going to keep it.

We are FOX Business. We’re going to keep a Fox business. That’s what Charles Payne wants. And we think that’s right. That’s what we’re going to do. And honestly, it hit me wrong. I told I was supposed to go with Wayne last night on Wayne show War Room. And after what happened to Charlie Kirk, I said, I, I don’t.

[00:01:02]:
It doesn’t feel right. Don’t go on. Doesn’t feel right going on. Can we reschedule? So I’m gonna be on next Tuesday with Wayne. And today I fully planned, it’s a good thing they, they called me from Charles Payne’s folks because I fully planned to go on today and start my segment with, you know, with, with what’s happening here and you know, to give our thoughts and prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family and talk about the connection because there’s a direct connection with what’s happening in this country and what happened beginning with 911 again, 24 years hit. You know, I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings here. I know a lot of you do as well about the timing of this. I don’t, I don’t believe in coincidences like this.

The, the assassination. Charlie Kirk is too big of a thing to happen on the day before 9 11. That’s, that’s a conversation for another time. But it’s something that I can tell you. My spotty senses are going off here. My spotty senses are going off. And I’m not, I’m not alone in this. I’m not going to go down any further down rabbit hole today.

[00:02:07]:
I think, I think some of you may well know what I’m talking about. But, but again, I don’t. I don’t believe in just flying off the cuff here and I want to really spend some time going into this. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I’m a fact theorist. And when I do talk about this, it’ll be because I’ve done the homework. So just know that, that, that’s, that’s, that’s happening, that’s in process. But as to specifically what’s happened with Charlie Kirk and what to me looks very much like a operation, this looks like a military style operation, they still haven’t caught this guy. More than one person was involved here.

I’m certain of it. I think that there, look, is there a patsy here? I would say yes, there’s going to be one. But again, that’s speculation. But think about our recent past two assassination attempts against Donald Trump. We know nothing about this first shooter. The second guy’s about to go on trial. I don’t really know very little about him. But the first guy that shot Trump in the air, we still don’t know anything about this guy except that what we heard early on, right where his, his social media history was scrubbed.

[00:03:17]:
This guy was a computer guy, young, and had no social media presence. What supposedly had four phones, a couple that were, you know, that were encrypted. So, you know, again, we never found, not of Las Vegas. Right, the Las Vegas massacre. We still don’t know the truth about that. Paddock, Stephen Paddock clearly did not do this on his own. And of course 911 there is a connection to all this. We still don’t know the truth about 9 11, of course.

And I put out a piece today, my annual piece on line 11 to our Vera Letter subscribers. So this is clearly all connected. But specifically what do we do about this, this, this new violence against conservatives and people like Charlie Kirk who, who just appears to be the nicest guy in the world. And that’s what everybody, everybody knew him said if I didn’t know him, Wayne knew him, talked to Wayne about this. Wayne says a great guy. These, all the, the praise coming in about him says the same thing, you know, wouldn’t harm a flea. So what do you do about these crazies? I think we have some ideas. I think, you know, to a hammer everything looks like a nail.

[00:04:42]:
I think it’s now time and I know Trump wants to avoid this because again, he’s already been called fascist, be called Hitler. You don’t want to prove the other side, right? But at some point you’ve got to draw the line and go, this must end now. And what is what, what does this mean? Well, it’s fish rots from the head down. This insanity is all starting, in my opinion, from the media. And the media is a controlled entity. If you know your history, you know about Operation Mockingbird. Operation mockingbird in the 1960s were, was the CIA infiltrating essentially every major news organization in America to control the narrative. You think they’ve gone away? Let me give you an example of how they’ve not with specifically to this case within 30 minutes of 9 11.

If you remember this, and I do, Again, I’ve spent 20 years investigating 9 11. I know about as much as 911 is mine in this country. Within 30 minutes to an hour of 9 11, what was the media again? Controlled narrative. CIA controlled Operation Mockingbird. What was the narrative in within 30 to 40, 30 minutes to an hour of 9 eleven? This looks like the work of Osama bin Laden. I remember seeing it then on every network, right? This is every state of network. And I remember going, okay, that’s, that’s interesting. That’s, that’s interesting.

[00:06:15]:
Where would that come from in such a hurry? Right away, Osama bin Laden. So that was the narrative being controlled by our planners, our shadow, whatever you want to call them, our deep state shadow government. Fast forward to today. What did we start hearing within just a short while after Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated? We’re hearing it today big time. Because now overnight the narrative, I should Repeat it within 24 hours because now, you know, everyone that’s looked at this goes, this looks like a professional operation. This is like military style precision. There were a couple of paths that said I did it or whatever. A couple people that were taken into custody, you know, acting guilty.

I don’t know the story here. We don’t know the full story, but that’s what happened. Two people in custody. So at that, at that instance, law enforcement tends to let up a little bit, allowing this guy to escape or team to escape. But what are the, what, what are the news organizations saying today? Because everyone’s saying this looks like a professional hit. What are they saying today? Oh, this does not look like a professional hit. These are all, including Fox, but they’re all saying it. If you watch, I like to flip around your times like this to get a sense of what the CNN’s MSNBCs are saying.

[00:07:35]:
And they’re all saying as of today, oh, this does not look like a professional hit because the shooter made too many mistakes. He left his gun in the woods. Well, I, again, do you believe that? I, I, I, I Don’t believe this. So they want to control the narrative again. And I don’t want to spend the whole podcast on this, but I am suspicious of what’s happened here. I know I’m not alone. And thankfully we had the Internet. We didn’t after 9 11, or things would look very different because there are just so many holes that.

So Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese, right. A hundred lies. I could. I. If we had time, I could. Without any notes, I could rattle off 20 lies that I know right away. 20 mistruths from the official narrative of 9 11.

[00:08:32]:
And my. All my body senses my tan is up, saying, here we go again. So quickly, what do we do? How do we stop this? To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. It’s time to call a spade a spade. It’s time to go after these people. It’s time to directly go after the mainstream media. If you have to shut them down, shut them down. Using Justice Department emergency powers, Trump can order this again.

He catch a lot of heat at this point. Who cares? We, the goal of government number one is to keep people safe. We’re not safe with these crazies. They’ve all been militarized by listening to the media talking about he’s Hitler, they’re fascist, Right? And again, they. They’ve driven these crazy people that almost certainly all of them are on ssri, so antidepressants. And they’ve driven them to do crazy things. So it starts there. First of all, anybody that is saying that they, they, they.

[00:09:42]:
They’re. They’re happy with, with Charlie. With Charlie Kirk’s assassination and good, good, let’s have more of it. They, again, free speech is one thing, but this is like an violence and it’s just wrong. These people should be at minimum investigated. And I think. Let’s get to the truth. Let’s use, you know, Maha, let’s use RFK Jr.

To really have a bold and immediate investigation into these SSRIs and into this very dangerous trans transgender community. Because all of these murders are taking place and these attacks are taking place from trans transgenders. These. These people are clearly demented and they’re being egged on. So the Justice Department can take some major steps here to shut that down. Companies across America should fire anybody that supports this kind of action, and that should happen either way. It doesn’t matter. Democrat or a liberal, a Democrat or.

[00:10:41]:
Or a Republican. And so there are some strong steps that corporate America, school districts, private companies can take. And there’s some strong steps that the Justice Department can Take to start shutting this insanity down because we’re not safe. Cashless bell, the poor Ukrainian girl that gets murdered on the, on the light rail train, right? These people are being arrested 10, 15, 20 times. Let back out again. Use the Justice Department to a hammer. Everything’s to a nail. Hammer.

Everything’s a nail. Arrest these DA’s, arrest these government officials that are allowing this. This is a federal issue. So Trump should come down as hard regardless of what they call him to right this ship and to let America know we got your back and to let these idiots know no more. It’s not going to happen anymore. Well, thank you folks for listening. I’ve talked to a lot of people over the last 20, a lot of you and everybody’s got great ideas and I think it’s time to come together with those. And again, for Trump and the Justice Department to take federal action and to do it quickly to stop this insanity.

[00:11:52]:
Charlie Kirk is a good man. He will be missed. And there will be thousands of Charlie Kirk that spring up because he’s been made a martyr. And that’s all good for America. Hey, listen, the red pilling of America is real. It started a long time ago. We’ve talked about this a lot here. It’s one of our big bride megatrends.

But it doesn’t come without certain risk. It’s a war. It really is a war. And we need to, we need to show the other side what, what the consequences of going to war with the good guys is. Okay, so let’s get into it here again. What, what a, what a run. Okay. We’ve been calling this a melt up bull market.

We’ve been right to do so. We’ve been aggressively bullish now for three years, been right to be so. And uh, look, things are happening. Do you see Tesla today upset 6% today? I was on again on Charles Payne show today. This is one of the topics we talked about. Wow, wow, wow. 48, as I said on the show, 48% of Wall street analysts have a, only 48 have a buy wreck on Tesla. This is the one stock to own for the innovation revolution.

[00:13:13]:
There is no. This is if you got to own just one, it’s Tesla because it embodies so much of this innovation revolution. Again, as I said on Charlotte’s show today, this is not an AI revolution. This is not a AI boom. This is much, much, much broader than that. This is an innovation revolution touching every industry. AI may be the backbone of a lot of these changes, but it’s just a part of it. It’s much bigger, much broader, lasts much longer than dot com.

Again, we’re going into the twenty thirds of this, folks. This is the bull market of bull markets. This is the generational bull market. These are all the things we’ve been telling you now for three years. Tesla up 6%. What people get wrong about Tesla. Now again, the chart pattern is fantastic. Okay, we’ve been, we’ve, we, have we not nailed this chart pattern, folks.

We nailed, it’s not hard to nail it. I mean it sticks out like a sore thumb. But not many people are talking about it because everybody’s been so beaten down by all EVs are dead, the tax credits to God, Tesla’s in trouble, you know, and again, it’s the mainstream media narrative. You just can’t trust it. Regardless of what we’re talking about. Oh, inflation is going to kill. Inflation’s coming. Trump’s tariffs going to cause inflation going to crash the market.

[00:14:21]:
I mean again, this insanity from the mainstream media today we get CPI, it came in at a whopping 2.9% matching estimates. And I’m watching Bloomberg and they go, oh, it’s a hot read. It’s a hot first thing, it’s a hot read. And I’m watching stock futures go up. It’s a, it’s a, it’s a hot read. 2.9%. Oh, that matches estimates. Oh, but the, the, the, the other people, the core cpi, oh, that was, that was up a tenth of a percent higher than they expected.

You know, it’s just, look, I’ve done this so long that this is how we make our money, folks. We make our money betting against these idiots. 48 of analysts have a buy on Tesla. Are you kidding me? Do you not know what’s coming with, with full self driving and robo taxes? You know what’s coming with Optimus? I mean who first of all, and again we’ve been very consistent with this, that we’ve been long test for a long time, doing very well now. But we said we just don’t care what it does in the short term. That just the cheaper it is, the more stock we get to buy. This is a blessing in disguise. When you look back, say you look back the next three to four or five years where the stock is just gonna rock and roll and you go, oh you know what, I kind of thought it sucked when it stayed in the 300 range for a long time, but holy cow, I got to buy another 100, another 500, another thousand shares.

[00:15:44]:
And now the stock is 3,000, 4,000, 5,000. Thank God, I would never have been able to buy it. So again, this is the way a smart money in my opinion. Not that I’m the smartest smart money investor, but I’ve learned a few tricks over the years. This is the way a smart money investor looks at an investment. Peter lynch taught me this a long time ago. Infamous legendary investor Peter lynch ran the Fidelity Magellan fan still has the highest return of any fund manager in history. Like 28, 29 a year.

Over his career. Peter Lynn said, unless something changes, we just keep buying. We use dollar cost averaging monthly and the cheaper it stays for longer, the better. Peter lynch said, but famously that in the vast majority of his investments he made no money in the first three years in the investment. But over starting in years three through five and beyond, that’s when they got paid. So that’s a blessing in disguise, is it not? And so again, Tesla today up 6% because of like this is going to be a huge, by the way, huge quarter monster quarter coming up here, folks. Why? Because the tax credits end at the end of this month. People, people, you can’t buy a new Model Y.

[00:17:03]:
I don’t think people know this. They’re selling like hotcakes in China. You, you literally can’t buy one in the US they aren’t available the new Model Y. And they by the way, just lo inside baseball there gonna be some new Tesla models coming out. They’re gonna be some Tesla models coming out before long and they’re going to be red, red hot. Everybody’s going to want them. And that’s why the stock’s going up now. The insiders know what’s going on.

Smart money knows what’s happening. Again, chart pattern says 598 as we cover with you ad nauseam. When it broke out of its in early August, broke out of this descending triangle. A measured move takes it to 5.98 on this move. Now the question is timing, Tim, but based on my read of it, 598 is about. It was probably by March, but we still believe by end of year stocks 500 is 369 now. And then our price target 2028 is $2,000 a share. I think that’ll be low.

[00:18:02]:
I really think that’ll be on the low side. So again just, I don’t do a whole podcast about Tesla, but it is a snapshot of what, what’s happening with the financial media who’s just horrible with Wall street analysts who are just not good at what they do. It’s group think. It’s group think, folks. It’s the danger of groupthink. And that’s why we run a tight operation here, me and Tyler putting our heads together. And you know, he kind of leans on my experience. I lean on his inexperience and his youth because again, the retail investors have nailed this, this bull market like no professional has, right? And Tyler’s very, very hooked into that.

He’s been very, very bullish. I know he’s been buying every dip, so I’ll let him speak for himself. All time highs, Dow Jones SPF 100, NASDAQ that leader today. Let me by the way, gdx up another 1.8% today. Holy cow. Semi today up 9/10 of a percent. Didn’t lead, but guess what did. Russ 2000 up 1.8%.

[00:19:09]:
If you’re with us, you know, we were aggressive on this group. Just made a major new call where we added a new position here a couple weeks ago. A very, very 5% today in that one. TNA Russ 2000 up 1.8%. Dow Jones up 1.4. SB 500 up 9/10. Nasdaq up points of 7/10. Again, we’ve already had a big move, right? Guess what? We’re still not extreme.

We’re not even overbought levels. These little shakeouts we have, you know, in the last one we had was when everybody said, oh, seasonality is going to be terrible and here comes Trump’s inflation, you know, and then we had a little shakeout and then all the, the, the, the bull bear numbers start to flip. Everybody’s bearish. It’s just, it’s so textbook. And as a bull, it’s exactly what you hope for. It’s exactly what you want to see. It gives you the opportunity to buy, add more to your positions, right. Or put on new ones.

As I also covered today with Charles. You know, if you’re wondering if we’ve had such a run, surely it’s time to start taking. Surely it’s time to head. Surely it’s time to do something besides just keep buying and put on new position. No, it’s not time to keep buying. Here’s why. The percentage of the SB 500 above the 5200 day is like 60 and 65%. That, that, that’s really low.

[00:20:24]:
Right? We won’t start hedging or taking your profits until those numbers are 85. We’re light years from that. Okay. It’s one of our go to guides for a market Timing now we’re just nowhere near it. So we’ve had these shakeouts. All they do is give us a buying opportunity. Right. Internals today.

Fantastic, fantastic. I want to talk about GDX and gold here a little bit too. I’ll wait till we get to that segment. Let’s go ahead and take a look under the hood today. These internals were as I said very, very good today. NYSE 81.3% upside volume. Nasdaq 79 volume, very good readings. NYSE 4 to 1 advanced decline.

Nasdaq better than 3 to 1 advanced decline. Again these are, these are garlic strong readings. And check this out. We had 662 stocks hit a new 52 week high to 73 hitting a 52 week low. This is what we’ve been kind of looking for. Once we get, once we get 800, 900 new hazard a thousand 1100. Once we get to about 13, 1400, we’ll probably be a little bit in the danger that’s a little too white hot. But again we’re not there yet.

[00:21:39]:
But we’re getting hot. We’re getting rolling markets really broadening. You can sense it again, Russ 2000 on a serious run again. If you know us, you know what’s up with the slot. When small cats keep going, they go and so they’re going. Sector watch today also very good. I think it was a 10 of 11 sectors higher. Let me just quick refresh.

Yes sir. 10 of 11 and really it’s 1111. Energy was only down fractionally but we had one to what, five sectors up more than 1%. More than one and a half percent by the way. Materials of 2.1. Health care of 1.7. Consumer discretionary 1.7. Then to the downside again, energy was only one down less than one tenth of 1%.

These are all garlic strong. Textbook bull market readings. Also interesting today put call ratio Open at a 0.82, close at a 0.84. What does that mean? That means until these readings get down below 7.70, it’s smooth sailing. You still got a lot of people buying puts which I find a little crazy. But again we welcome it. Right? That’s this is what gives us the opportunity. Commodity watch.

[00:22:51]:
I want to talk about this a little bit because they were a little flat today. They’ve been such a run. I mean look, we’re extreme robot on steroids. Our most designation on various system for the, for gold and for the miners. Right? That’s typically when bad things happen. But as we’ve said it doesn’t mean they have to. Sectors and equities, individual stocks that get overbought and stay overbought. There is no more bullish sign.

So I, I probably should start adding that caveat. It just doesn’t happen that often. Usually we get to extreme. We’re bot on steroids and we got like a day or two and here comes a shakeout when that doesn’t happen is an extended runs folks. We’re, we’re September 11, right? Nine, 11. I want to go to that rabbit hole again. I’m going to resist. We get into October and we don’t have that seasonal weakness look that you know what out because then we get the strongest quarter of the year, fourth quarter with the strength of this market innovation revolution.

Trump economic miracle and of course the ocean of liquidity. Again these are our favorite topics. These are the drivers. This is what’s powering this market and will continue to power this market higher. It’s also going to take gold higher because look we’ve talked this a little bit. Talk a little more now. Trump and Besson are engineering some financial engineering of their own. I believe they’re going to try to whip our deficit with inflation that’s going to be hyper bullish for all inflationary assets including gold equities, housing, real estate, bitcoin.

[00:24:33]:
Why do you think they’re all going up? Because the markets are always smarter than all of us. They know what’s coming of course. The insiders really know. And this administration, like other administration, they leak know they, they do. So there are certain people that know this. I think we’re one of them, tell you truth. So I believe and this is why one of the reasons gold is going up. Central banks know this of course the ultimate smart money and they’re buying hand over fist global governments as well.

We’re going to have a massive treasury offering but not at four, four and a half percent by the way. Tenure. Now check this out. Tenure down to 4.01. It cracked 4% today on its way plummeting lowers. We’ve been telling you, have we not been calling this market folks? We’ve been, we’ve been, we’ve been calling this market. Have we? Hey, knock on wood. Not it’s not bragging.

Universe doesn’t care when you do that. That’s not what that was. But it ain’t bragging if you’ve done it. And so we have been hot on this market. That’s because we work at it. We know what to look for and we Know, whenever the media and the majority of economists and market strategists say one thing, just do the opposite. It’s really not that hard. It’s really not that hard.

[00:25:51]:
Do the opposite of what they do. And we got a little bit more than that. And of course that’s what we have, the bureau system. But if they had this massive treasury off against, I believe that will be backed in part by go. I believe it’ll be a basket of gold and bitcoin and maybe some other things at 2% everybody’s going to want it. Everybody and their mother global is going to want it. We have $37 trillion of debt. If we say for example refinance half of that, let’s say 20, 20 trillion with a 40 year offering of U.S.

treasuries at 2%, maybe a 50 year offering that none of that matters by the way. They’ll all be refinanced lower. Backed by gold, backed by bitcoin. We just refinanced our treasury, our debt in one fell swoop. And the whole world will want it because it’s backed by gold and bitcoin red hot. So I think that’s what the markets know. That’s what golden bitcoin knows, gold knows. I’ll finally have a write up on this tomorrow.

Tether, I mean Ted, tether, a stablecoin is buying the, you know what out of gold. And now gold miners, they’re buying, I mean they’re, they’re, they’re on track to be one of the largest buyers in the next two, three years at this rate, including in central banks and countries. Tether, Stablecoin folks, we told you financial engineering was one of our big bright megatrends. This is what we were talking, it’s exactly what we were talking about. Of course at the time we had no idea, but we had a, we, we had some idea, we had no specific idea of what they might do. But now it’s happening. Bitcoin was the first example of financial engineering. Everything else in crypto is following.

[00:27:39]:
And now tether buying gold as, as this backbone right to support is. It is. If you’re gold bug, you are in hog heaven. We’re going to have this out tomorrow for you. Finally, a little synopsis of raising our gold target. Our price target had been of course into year 4000 but our cycle had been 8 to 10,000. That’s going up to 15,000. And it’s because everything I just talked about, if bitcoin can have the move it had, why can’t gold go to 15,000.

It’s not. It’s not. I’m a simple man and I like simple conversations. I think that makes a lot of common sense and I think it’s what’s going to happen. By the way, what do you think the miners are going to do? Let’s say that I’m half right. Let’s say I’m half right. Let’s say the gold goes to 7, 500 an ounce, right? It’s 3, 700. Now say gold goes to 30.

Excuse me. 7, 500 ounce. Say basically it doubles from here. Okay. What do you think the miners are going to do? You think they’re just going to double? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We’re talking about insanity, folks. We’re talking about what were 10 baggers are now 30 to 50 baggers. They’re making 30 to 50 times your money.

[00:28:53]:
Especially in the June miners that we own, Snow Line Mystical, which have been on a serious tear, as you know today. This is how far we are from the top in the miners. Check this out. I keep, I keep expecting that I’ll look up at the end of the day and see the volume in gdx, the gold miner etf and I’ll go, all right, there it’s coming. Here it is. No, not today. The total volume today in GDX on a day it was up another 1.7%. GDX is now up for the year, 105%.

Now did we get that right? Did we get that right? I told, we told you in January, early January, we said our top ETF recommendation for the year was gdx, the gold miners. Now we don’t own GDX because we own the miners. There’s, there’s just. I believe in leverage. There’s far more leverage owning the individual miners than an ETF of all the, of all the miners. That’s, that’s why in case you’re wondering, it’s not the GDX is a bad investment. It’s just we’re going to make so much more. The ones that we own.

It’s all about leverage, right? But GDX now is the, the is the. Is up over 100, 105% for the year. Again, we told you we expected by year end in January, said this to be over 100%. Well, it’s there. We got it. With four months to spare today, GDX trade a whopping 18.7 million shares. In case you don’t know what that means, take a look at the Chart. I’ll share it tomorrow.

[00:30:28]:
Just a decade ago the average volume was like 120 million a day. 180 million shares a day was light. It did 18.7 million shares. Today a big day is 40 million. We had one of those last week. But that’s massive day. My point being the big money has not even begun to show up yet. And that’s when this group goes crazy.

Our favorite relative strength chart for this group is towards GDX to gold. We we share that chart with you often. I believe it was in this morning’s Let not I put. I’m getting my X account confused with my very letter. Don’t think I did put it in this morning’s letter. But it it today. That’s because I did the 911 story. But I have it in tomorrow’s GDX to gold relative ratio has gone completely parabolic in my career.

There is no better buy signal. But again the group is extremely bought. But it just hasn’t mattered. And that’s because they’re so cheap. That’s why. All right, going parabolic. Gold today was down a little bit. Down 8 bucks an ounce.

[00:31:41]:
It’s a 36.73. So silver up 46 cents announced 42.06 an ounce. Copper of 1% of the day. 467 a pound. Crude oil today back down 1.4%. 6226 a barrel. And finally Bitcoin 114,434 a half percent on the last 24 hours. All right folks.

Multiple Market continues. Right? Hey, you know what? Always appreciate you listening. Try to have a little fun with this. Even on some dark days. America is too great a country not to get a handle on this. We will. We just came out of the worst two decades in American history. I believe the best two decades in American history are directly ahead of us.

We’re owed that. And there’s too many good people in this country for it not to happen. We certainly got the right president, got a deep bench. And there’s just more good people than bad people by big number. And these people should be ostracized, completely shunned from proper society that are celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death and wishing for more of it. What is what has happened to this country? I just covered it. It’s the media, Operation Mockingbird. Militarizing people with their words and just causing them to go crazy.

[00:33:03]:
Then SSRIs and the President’s probably doing most of the rest of the damage. All of that Big Pharma shut them down. Oh, Trump, last note. Yesterday I couldn’t believe it. I think it was yesterday. Days are flying by. We’re now going to have Big Pharma is going to be forced to list all of the side effects and harm in their commercials. They’re going to be 10 minutes long.

They won’t have them. They’re leaving. They’re going bye bye. They should never have been on the air to begin with. This is a criminal enterprise and they’re in bed with the deep state planners that are causing these people to go insane and act out with mass violence and assassinations. So we know where the, we know what to stop and now we just got to have the courage to stop it and we do and we will.

All right, folks, that’s it for the day. Hope you had a great day, an even better night. We’ll see you back here again tomorrow after the close.
