The video offers a sharp diagnosis of corporate cartelization, but its intellectual weight is undermined by sensationalist partisan framing. It correctly identifies systemic economic rot while ultimately succumbing to reductive populist rhetoric.

Globalists LOSE America - Trump's Victory CONFIRMEDAdded:
Not only is Donald Trump taking on the globalists at a global level, he's taking them on at a domestic level and giving America back to the Americans.
That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Hey Mike, thank you so much for making yourself available. Mike Stagger, s from one of the team at Prometheianaction.com.
I'll have the links in the description below. Now I said that Trump is taking on the globalists abroad and also at home.
How is he doing that?
Yeah, there's a number of steps he's taken that are pretty strong just in the recent period. So uh on Monday they went after they announced the Department of Justice. I mean he's he's going after the entire look let's just start with a let's step back I guess for a second.
The entire US economy is run by a set of cartels in banking, in food supply, in meats, in seeds, in fertilizers, in housing construction, in p in defense production. I mean, you name it. I mean, in ticket prices, you know, for concerts. I mean, it's just the level of monopolization and cartilization of the US economy is mindboggling. It's everywhere. It's deep. And it's not just that they have cartels. there are actually companies middlemen that come in within an industry and then we'll coordinate within that industry all of the data that the industry provides and then it'll spit back out how all of these companies could maximize their profits if they sold it that product at a certain price. So it's basically a company which makes money helping for them to coordinate a kind of a monopolization of an industry.
So, the DOJ announced, it's already got one case against a company called Agrastats. This is a company that did that that did that exact same did that exact thing with chicken, pork, and turkey meat packing. There's like four companies. It coordinated with the four companies. It told them how to basically charge a higher price, limit volume, lower supply, rise price, and this is how you can maximize profit instead of having it be a competitive market.
Um they're going to get a settlement with that case is what they announced.
But on Monday they're going after the entire beef packing industry.
>> Okay. Before we get into the beef packing industry, Agra set what law did they break?
>> It's a monopolization law. It's an antirust law, >> right?
>> The Sherman Act and it's been expanded since then, but it comes from the late 19th century.
That this is you can't price fix within the American economy. This was part of the whole thing that JP Morgan and these guys Rockefeller Vanderbilt they realized that now that we have such huge power amassed that we can now just exploit it. We can basically maximize profits by re decreasing supply and increasing prices.
And it's a much easier way to make money than it is to constantly advance expand production expand markets. And the American government rightly saw that this is a violation of our constitution.
You're undermining the welfare of the population for for a very limited private gain. And you just can't do that. You want to make a buck, great.
But you've got to make it by expanding production and increasing the quality of life of the population.
That's natural law and economics. And we've just ignored natural law for decades and decades. And so this consolidation has just been huge. I mean, it's huge in banking. And every time there's a crisis, right, the consolidation only gets more more com, you know, more it takes on a larger share of the market every single time there's a crisis. So the beef packers, they had like 25% control in 1970 and now these four have 85% control. Wow. Two of them are foreignowned. They're Brazilian, but all of them are globalists. All of them are like publicly traded with you know global you know uh board members >> and shareholders >> right global shareholders and and board members. So it's a kind of these are globalist entities that have grown up in an era of globalization where corporations reigned right nations were secondary corporate profit was primary not national well-being.
And so Trump is actually I mean it's it's a refreshing breath of air fresh air coming in with Pam Bondi gone. The DOJ is just operating totally differently under acting attorney general Todd Blanch. I mean from the indictment of James Comey to um increasing the kind of focus and political intensity of the RICO investigation on Russia gate conspirators to this antirust action.
It's just far more a DOJ with teeth that is consistent with Trump's politics. And um >> was Bondi a block or effective?
>> Yeah, I think she was a block. I think she had ties to the old the old hand networks, the old guard networks that supported her political career in Florida. So she wasn't, you know, kind of similar to what Ronda Santis would be, >> I think. So >> okay. All right. So now the the meat packers, the beef packers, cuz the other thing I saw this week is there's a reduction in in I mean it's been going on for years in cattle.
>> Yeah, this the smallest herd we've had since 1950.
>> Okay. Now, how did the cattle numbers get reduced and why? And >> well, the main thing the meat packers are doing with this consolidated control of the market is they're they're undercutting small ranchers. They're basically not giving them lower prices.
So they're coordinating with the large ranchers. We've lost over 650,000 ranchers since 1980. That's 50% of ranchers.
>> You mean the people that work on the farms and the cowboys?
>> The ranch. I'm talking about ranches.
Yeah. We've lost 650,000 ranches.
>> Oh, sorry. I thought you said ranchers.
>> Ranchers.
>> Yeah.
>> I thought you meant like the workers, but you >> gophers. We got to kill the gophers.
You mean the the ranches, >> right? The ranches.
>> The ranch. The runchy ranches. Yeah.
>> That's right.
>> That's right.
>> But we've lost about half of those since 1980 that we had. So you've lost diversity. You've had a consolidation in large corporate ranches ranches. and and um and and so then what these meat packers do is they offer a very low price to the uh people that are growing the cattle and then they're diminishing supply to maximize to raise prices and maximize profit to the consumer. So in 2000, the the cattle rancher would have gotten 63% of every dollar spent on beef. So if you go to the market and spend $20 on beef, they're getting, you know, $12.60.
And the meat packers are getting the other, you know, $7.
Today, it's the exact inverse, literally inverse. So the meat packers are now taking 12 uh 63 cents of every dollar and the ranchers only getting 37 cents.
>> Wow.
>> So they're just they they've figured out how to control the market. And so there was all this discussion of meat pricing.
And of course the herd is low. There's there's like a 10-year cycle, I guess, in herds. I'm not a cattle rancher, but there's like a 10-year cycle. The point is is that this is consistent with what Trump wanted to do.
um he brought in people that were against that were wanting to trust bust.
But since during his first year there was a lot of kind of I think a pay-to-play kind of operation happening where some of these things were going through. But Trump knows we've got to solve this meat this food supply question. And the big question is that you know these are foreignowned companies. They're raising the prices.
They're lowering Americans health quality. I mean we we now know they redid the food pyramid.
you need to eat a lot of meats and cheeses and milks and proteins and nuts and vegetables and then you'd have to have some grains, but it's not this grainheavy diet. And so, um, especially the GMO grains. So, anyways, the point is is that they're also going to go after seeds. They're going to go after fertilizers. We used to have like 50 companies that produce fertilizer. Now, it's three. Same with seeds. So, everything's been consolidated throughout the entire supply chain of food. You could say the same thing on housing construction, infrastructure. I mean, everything's been like this.
>> How can you reverse the consolidation, Mike?
>> Well, threats of of prison time really work well with people.
So, there's actually a proposal to take these this not just the RICO charge, but across the board, this entire political conspiracy.
there was a a RICO bill, you know, a RICO a bill in the 1980s to help go after organized crime. And Rudy Giuliani, who's I think right now in bad medical condition, but he was the guy, he was the US attorney in New York who used that this RICO question of racketeering on charges. So, you could get low-level people and then you could basically give them high you could get you could threaten them with long prison sentences to have it kick it up a notch in terms of who's responsible for the actual crimes.
There was an addition to that law which said if you're tampering with evidence, maybe tampering with ballots or voting records, you see where I'm going with this? Or documents from Jack Smith that they put in burn bags and hid in a closet somewhere that nobody even knew existed somewhere in the in the FBI headquarters. Like all of these things were done. And this was it was called the Enron law because it was created after Enron to say how do we actually go after this level of white collar corruption.
They tried to use this same law against some of Trump's people because it's such a I mean it was just an obsation but the application would work. So Trump's DOJ is now looking at how to go after this entire complex, both the economic side of it, this cartilization, but also all of the political corruption and racketeering that have been used to try to, you know, tear down our constitution.
>> Wow. Okay. All right. And then of course the mainstream media aren't covering it at all. I'm tempted like after we finish recording to go to the Guardian and do a search for Jack Jack Smith and see if they've got this bit of news, this latest update cuz they covered him plenty when he was doing the lawfare.
Absolute nonsense lawfare against Trump.
Okay. Now, you also mentioned housing and the consolidation in housing. Is that again by a handful of companies controlling housing construction?
>> Yeah, there's five or six major housing company. You can tell in the United if you if you go back to the 1950s and60s when we're building plenty of houses.
We're building right now we have a shortage of somewhere like 10 million houses.
Um we need to build that many houses to kind of get back to where we need to be for the population size. But back in the 50s when we were building a lot of houses for people post war, a lot of it were small construction firms just building uh and that's how it functioned. It's been massively consolidated. A lot of the housing construction over 50% is done by like five or six firms publicly traded on Wall Street which means they're kind of globalist controlled with shareholders and and board members. And then the whole supply chain has been kind of a choke point. Part of it's been the timber industry has been shut down in the United States. So you have a global supply largely from Canada. But this a lot of these questions have been just the way that the globalists operated was just to set up choke points and then maximize profit at all of those choke points to raise the stock price on Wall Street. But ultimately what you're doing is you're diminishing supply. So yeah, it's happened with housing supply as much as it's happened with food. It's happening now with hospitals. One of the things they're looking at with health care pricing is there's been a growing consolidation of hospitals. So you have less and less competition of hospitals.
What's happening? The rates you pay at the hospitals are going up because there's nobody to compete with them.
>> Wow.
Wow. It's It sounds like the Sovietization of the United States.
>> It Yeah. I mean that the Sovietization was just the government doing it on behalf of an oligarchy. Now it's private corporations doing it on behalf of an oligarchy. But >> yeah, >> now one thing I recall is something that Clinton did that I think is really really important that Trump reverses, which is when he he I can't remember the name of the legislation. He passed this law that essentially consolidated the media cuz the United States used to have hundreds and hundreds of local newspaper outlets and then I think he allowed for cross ownership. So then big corporations moved in like Time Warner buying up everything and now you've got I think six firms or something that control the entire mediacape in the United States.
>> Yeah. All this was regulated. Even banking used to be regulated. You couldn't be the same bank in two different states. Each state had to have its own banking corporation. Things used to be so much more regulated because we recognize that if you let any any private institution gain too much political power or economic power, they become like the banks have become too big to fail. So they can go make whatever risky bets they want to make and if they go under, you risk an entire, you know, collapse of your of your economy.
>> See? No. Okay. And Trump is out to reverse all of that. Bring in regulations. I think by natural inclination, yeah, I think so. I mean, I don't think he would say, "Yeah, I want to bring back a bunch of regulations, but he would say he would say, "Get it done." Like, he said he wanted to build out energy supply. And he said, "Okay, well," and all these guys, all these big money investors in Silicon Valley and the big Wall Street said, "We want to go big on AI, and AI needs a lot of energy." And Trump said, "Okay, we'll build your own power plants. I'll give you guys permission." And of course, none of them are building their own power plants. I mean, maybe they'll build some windmills and solar panels, but they're not going to build a nuclear plant, and they're not even building a natural gas plants. So Trump said, "Okay, well, Wall Street, we need you guys to loan." They opened up a bunch of money for lending for energy supply and production, and still nothing's moving.
So now he launched he launched two five memos two weeks ago using the defense production act which is basically war powers to commandeer private assets or basically commandeer private companies to produce things we need like in wartime and the focus is on expanding energy supply in the United States natural gas oil coal and building nuclear and he's just saying look if you're not going to get it done then we're going to get it done another Okay.
So, so I don't think you would say like let's do this and that, but you know ultimately we're going to end up back.
But, you know, smart regulation is very it's it's small and effective, right?
>> You don't want tons and tons and tons where like a small firm doesn't have the legal power to even evaluate what they can and can't do. Has to be very specific and then let let people have at it. And I think that's what Trump ultimately would agree with is like, let's clear out all this crap in this regulatory system and then let's implement what we really need to make sure the so-called free market, you know, that people can thrive, that there's competition and there's there's production that serves the American people.
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. The minimal amount of regulation, one that allows independent newspapers to flourish, local newspapers to flourish.
>> Yeah. Right. Yeah. because then you have a diversity diversity of opinion, diversity of thought, freedom of speech instead of >> that's what that's what your channel is today. I mean, now the internet has just kind of gone wild. So, >> yeah. Yep. So, it please subscribe, comment, and like, and do all that business. Okay. Now, the other way that he's freeing up Americans, well, he didn't do it, but the Supreme Court did it, which is the redistric preventing the redistricting of constituencies, electoral boundaries.
Now, I don't quite understand that because in the UK, you know, if you have a a city, say, with three con constituencies and they're mapped out, they pretty much stay the same. It doesn't change from election to election.
>> So, what happens in the United States?
>> Well, I think that that probably was the general trend. I mean, we've had such demographic upheaval.
Um, the cities that were once our industrial centers that had broad diversity but of general American population have been gutted. They're now highly densely populated by new immigrants to the country. Um, and and so the whole demographic process has gotten weird. And then of course with all these immigrants, everything was based on minority majority districts. That was what the voting rights. And Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court, he did an additional opinion and he just said there's nothing in the Voting Rights Act that talks about districts, congressional districts or political districts, you know, electoral districts. There's nothing in it. It's about making sure that everybody has the right to vote.
>> Okay, that's what it's about.
>> So So make it make it clear to me. I don't quite understand. So a local authority, a city council would redraw boundaries in such a way to like if there was a republican area, they would redraw boundaries to to split that republican area into say two larger areas, districts that are now predominantly democratic.
if it was a Democratic city council.
>> Yeah. The whole thing was done by race.
So it was it was race justified that you can actually do it for party. You can do it for incumbents that you basically say this is where people are voting and you kind of keep the district relatively the same, you know, each time you go through it. Every 10 years we have a census. And so every 10 years they redistrict the congressional districts based on the census. That's because people are moving in, people are moving out, and you can only have so many people in a district, right?
>> That's the basis for changing it.
>> And since the Voting Rights Act of 68, I guess, I think it's 68, maybe it's 65 or something, um, they have basically been able to say, well, we need we need to give equal and fair representation to each grouping, each racial grouping. So, blacks should have a district where they are guaranteed to be able to elect a black member to Congress, >> right?
>> And the irony is like in Detroit, which is predominantly black, the district goes beyond just Detroit, but it includes all of Detroit. It's an very traditional African-American now inner city.
Um, they don't have a black, they haven't had a black congressman for like six years. He's Indian.
So part of this became that it just became a political stronghold. They just vote Democrat or there's such so much Democrat party control that no matter how you vote, you vote Democrat.
Um so this became it just became so exploited and abused, but it was never really even in the law.
It wasn't ever said that you can redistrict things based on race. It seems anthma if you're saying you want to get rid of racism that you can now start creating districts based on race.
The whole idea was like make sure people have a chance to get engaged and invoke and assuming that any one race wants to just vote for one party all the time would be strange. Maybe they do for a certain period but you know things change anyway. So the entire south south will will basically be redistricted and it's basically being redistricted right now. Governors are taking action in many states to redistrict the entire state right now.
>> Okay. And likely to favor the Democrats or the Republicans?
>> It'll favor Republicans.
>> Why? How come?
>> Because they're getting rid of these controlled black districts, >> right?
>> So, you're saying no longer are we just going to carve out a district for it to be black because somehow that's legal.
It's now illegal to carve anything out based on the race of the people involved. Okay. So, it's illegal now.
Well, the Supreme Court said it's always been illegal to have a sort of voting apartheite when it comes to electoral districts.
>> Yeah. That we're not going to solve racism in America by having certain races get certain abilities to just vote for based on their racial condition.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, that's a relief. And then of course what happens is what happens is you get this situation like in these inner cities which have been wrecked and destroyed from the deindustrialization and they have become predominantly black and poor and they're just democrat controlled because the democrats are willing to just keep saying we'll spend more money on you and of course that has just failed over decades but these whole places have become democrat machines.
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, I mean Los Angeles, it's all that New York and so um now you can kind of break that up and it might start to break up even the politics within the cities themselves.
So you start to get competition of ideas, of policies, of approaches so we can start to get our cities to be reinvigorated again. I think that would be the great hope.
>> Okay. No, that's good cleaning up the electoral process, but it means nothing without the Save Act because that would the because with the Democrats could still carry on rigging the election >> in their states in the states they control. They could keep on rigging it.
Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay. So, they couldn't do it in Republican states, but but Republicans can rig the elections, can they? Not for themselves.
>> Yeah. if they Yeah, if they could, if they wanted to. Yeah. Right now, the tendency is that the Republicans are on the ascendants with the right policies and the Democrats are trying to hold on to what power they can, hoping that they can ultimately get the Republicans to start going corrupt again. But, um, the uh it's not fair being corrupt by yourself. You know, you always want the other party to be corrupt, too. It's more fun that way. It works out so much corrupt. You know, that's what Democrats are basically saying. It was a lot easier when both of us were really corrupt parties and neither had a vision and neither really wanted to do anything. It was made this a lot easier.
>> But also it's cover.
>> It's cover. It's like if I'm corrupt then then okay. Oh my god. It was rich, right? If it's me and Mike.
>> Yeah.
>> What can you do?
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, you know, so um the uh Yeah. So, of course, the the elections could still be, you know, because well, the Republicans aren't going to the way it's been structured, the Save America Act is basically voter ID, and that would be really a big hit.
The big thing for the Democrat states is going to be and redistricting is going to be the 2030 census. If we get there, if we survive and hold the nation together, the 2030 census is going to have a national citizen, have a citizenship requirement on it, and that's going to blow up a lot of this proportionality. how many districts go to certain states, how many districts go to these big cities because that's where you have these concentrations of illegal immigration which then boost the census and then boost congressional districts, right?
>> The more people you have, the more districts you get.
>> Okay. And then you get more votes in the in the House of Congress.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. So, what's the delay with the Save Act and when will it be passed?
>> I don't know. It's it's a it's a it's a problem. It's really a problem. I think it's going to require I mean it's going to require Trump putting a lot of political focus just on that. He's come back to it time and again, but it's going to have to come down as like a hard hard play. Uh there's a lot of opposition in the Senate and they just don't you know I don't know. I think it's going to be a tough go. I'm not I'm not overly optimistic about it passing right now. I think we got a lot of work to do.
>> Sign up for my free newsletter. I will soon be doing group calls for paid subscribers. I will also be launching a community platform where people can discuss and share ideas about issues that we've covered on my channel. Links in the description below. Trump just put out a new counterterrorism strategy and he and he basically said we're going to shut down this entire political corruption um targeting of American citizens, American political groups, even those we disagree with. But they are going to go after the extreme left-wing violence like Antifa and the anarchists, which is totally appropriate, but they're not going to start they're not going to like target people that disagree with them on the Iran war. They just put it out in very clear terms what the focus is on what real counterterrorism should be. And it's kind of it's an overhaul of the entire intelligence community. And as Trump says, he knows that he knows how badly that's needed better than anybody because he was the one targeted even under the FISA court.
And I assume it's easy to read like the national strategy, national security strategy.
>> Yeah, it's a simple read. It's short, like 15 pages.
>> Well, well written, easy to read, designed to be accessible, unlike a lot of the turgid government documents that come out in the UK. Designed to be inaccessible, >> right? Gabble. Yep.
>> Yep. Yep. Okay. Well, Mike, thank you so much. I've got a new YouTube channel, Rich Does Clips, which is like 10, 12 minute clips of some of my longer interviews.
