#730: Trump's Geopolitical Poker Game with Tom Luongo

**SPEAKER_1** (0:07)
You've had a dynamic where money's become freer than free. When you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts.

**Tom Luongo** (0:16)
So it's all acting like safe haven.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:18)
I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency, Bitcoin wins. In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
I mean, that's part of the bold case for Bitcoin.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

**Marty Bent** (0:36)
Mr. Luongo, we meet here on yet another Friday evening. It seems to be our time of recording, choice of recording over the years. Like I was just telling you, I need you to pull me back from the edge.
I'm doomscrolling a lot this week.

**Tom Luongo** (0:52)
We are. I don't know if you've been reading my Twitter feed, but it's 3 o'clock in the morning trying to take people off the edge and go, no. It's as funny as I. It's good to see you, Marty. Yes, I do like doing this Friday afternoon with you. It's like we get an opportunity to sit down, kind of look at the week that was the last couple of weeks or less. It's a good time to do this. We're both tired after a long week. So it's like, yeah, man, it's not going to be fireworks tonight. It's going to be that kind of thing, which is a good thing. I do enough of those. I do enough of the fire breathing Tom during the week. So I, you know, it's funny, since this thing began, you know, and again, I'll back up for a minute in the lead up to it. I was looking at it going at first. I'm like, is he just playing a game? Right. And then I saw the like full two carrier strike groups, and I thought about what he did in Venezuela and the way handle Venezuela. And I'm like, no, there's going to be an operation of some form or another here, because Venezuela was very much targeted operation. Wasn't it, you know, apparently just an insanely efficient operation as well.
And then right after that, he goes to freaking Davos and all of that. And, you know, the same weekend, he's like, what is he? He said, he's at Davos, yeah. And he's giving them their speech and he's like, and then he's taken on CJ and Jay and then Jay and Jalisco and, you know, taken out El Mencho. I'm like, it's March, who's he going to take out next? And when you, you know, you know how I feel about this stuff, that this is all kind of art and parcel of the whole old money network, right? You have, you know, you have the middle layer of money, of basically imperial money flows or old colonial money flows. My wife just was driving up, and so the dogs were going crazy. But I think that's where we are. We have to realize that that's a very important part of this conversation that we just don't talk. Most people can't talk about because they don't have a free reference for it. And I do my best to try and make it, you know, understandable. Let's kind of break it down in three layers. You have the original, you know, when you first came in the power, the first thing you did was cut off all the public money. So, hey, at least the American taxpayer isn't directly funding the NGOs of destroying the country. Okay. That's the easy part. He can just, you know, stroke the pan, law the land and get, take that done, take that down because he's the executive and he doesn't, you know, and he has that power. It's the next layer that's the hardest one for people to wrap their heads around, which is the organized crime, which is the system of money flow around the world, the, of being able to basically have the old colonial extraction system centered in the city of London with outposts in places like Davos and Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong and Singapore and Hong Koover and all these other places, right? That, you know, that's the illicit money. That's the money that runs around the world, trafficking children, trafficking drugs, you know, running protection rackets, pulling in. Yeah. And now we get to find out. And we get highlighted for us. It ensures all the global shipping around the world, while the US. Navy is harassed to enforce it all. And somehow someone else is getting paid for the defense work that we're doing.
When we stop, as Americans, just stop and take a look at and think about what that is, that should drive us all crazy. When you really stop to think about it, it's like we go out and we spend a trillion dollars a year on a military. So however much money we spend on the Navy to police the world and make sure that global shipping runs relatively smoothly, the only pirates that are really left in the world are the ones that somehow are linked to the old colonial system through a network of banks and old relationships that exist in Iran, Venezuela, Dubai, blah, blah, and Hong Kong, Mexico City, all around the world. You look around the world and you see the same thing everywhere, which is that that money cannot flow, as Alex Greiner likes to point out, without complicity from the Canadian, UK, some American banks, it can't happen, because it's too much money, has to move that way. Not only are they making money off of that, they're insuring the ships that we're defending. Now, let's stop for a second and think about what Lloyds of London actually is.
