·28 min·2 clips

Ken McClinton explains what happens if BRICS nations and Saudi Arabia abandon the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.

The episode opens with BZ asking guest Ken McClinton about the BRICS nations and Saudi Arabia potentially moving away from the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. McClinton argues the dollar will remain strong due to U.S. military and debt, but acknowledges its current weakening. They discuss rising inflation, citing an 8.5% rate in March, and a predicted recession by year's end. The host blames Federal Reserve actions and Biden administration policies, including those of Pete Buttigieg, for economic issues. A clip of Nancy Pelosi speaking about Ukraine and potential military responses is played, with BZ criticizing her as inebriated and accusing her of risking World War III. The conversation shifts to Putin's ambitions, with BZ stating Putin wants to rebuild the USSR, driven by his KGB background and age. They mention Ukraine's role as a major wheat producer and how war could impact global food supplies. BZ references a book, 'The Threat' by Andrew Cockburn, about winning the Cold War through defense spending. He suggests China is economically weak but strong enough to support Russia, and may test the U.S. soon. The host announces this is the last show in California, with plans to relocate to a 'free state' and put the show on hiatus for two months while rebuilding the studio. He thanks listeners and guests, including Ken McClinton, and promotes an upcoming interview with Paul Manafort on another show. The episode ends with BZ signing off nostalgically, reflecting on five years and 394 episodes.
