Jeffrey Tucker, so many times, some of the most, probably the most used slide I have is Brownstone Institute.

They've been doing great research. He's been doing incredible research his entire career as a journalist and a writer, writing some of the most important articles, certainly through COVID. I think many of you were introduced to him.

But if you do not know who Jeffrey Tucker is or unaware of the Brownstone Institute, take a look at this.

Join me now, Jeffrey Tucker. Let's talk now to Jeffrey Tucker, who's president of the think tank,

the Brownstone Institute. Jeffrey Tucker, such a pleasure to have you. It's been a very

dark time from the lockdowns through the shot mandates, the destruction

of small business, the brutalization of the children with the mask mandates and the school closures.

It was just a very strange, you know, sort of scientific experiment that's been conducted on almost the whole of humanity. They treated us like lab rats.

We were, our job from the middle of March onward was to behave as just parts in a machine,

like part of a computer model.

So we're left now with this tremendous carnage. I had for a very long time

been convinced that we were living in an age of endless and infinite progress in peace. Instead,

we are living in times of growing barbarism. When you shut down an entire economy, that's usually

a bad idea.

And it's not usually associated with being more prosperous than you've ever been.

The price increases we've experienced over the last two years, we're stuck with.

And not only are we stuck with the existing price levels, but it's getting worse right now.

Jeffrey, I want to ask you, will cryptocurrency outlive the Federal Reserve?

We've got better money now than the Fed is producing, and I think we need to recognize that reality.

It is a reality, nothing's going to change that.

The effects of the lockdowns with the supply chain breakages and the chip shortages and the inflation that we're facing the debt crisis,

this is going to affect everybody.
