John's still broadcasting from Los Angeles. He discusses the nonsensical digs Trump has been saying about Nikki Haley and the desperate attempt of Haley to say nothing because she wants to be his running mate. He is then joined by comedian Natalia Reagan and they chat about abortion bans. They take a call from Sean in California on gun reform and Nikki Haley's denial of racism. Next, he welcomes comedians Graham Elwood and Mona Shaikh to the fun for his Hollywood Panel. The four of them joke about Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, and Obamacare. Jay in North Carolina calls in to trash Nikki Haley and Mark in South Dakota calls in to talk on the Joel Osteen scandal. And wrapping it up - they rip on Matt Gaetz's racist comments. Plus Stephen from Kentucky calls in on what will happen in the 2024 election.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Graham Elwood is a comedian, filmmaker, and podcaster. He has just spent time on the ground in El Salvador exploring the country's Bitcoin adoption. He is producing a new documentary called Bitcoin Saves El Salvador. Why you should listen Graham first learned about Bitcoin when Max Kaiser appeared on his show Political Vigilante. Graham discusses his experience in El Salvador, particularly in Bitcoin Beach, where he witnessed the adoption of Bitcoin and its positive impact on the local community. NGOs like My Premier Bitcoin and Hope House are educating locals about using Bitcoin in a circular economy and providing language education. Graham was impressed with being able to use Bitcoin for everyday transactions like renting a surfboard and noted the lack of crime compared to other Latin American countries. He highlights how legalizing Bitcoin has helped redirect extortion money back into the economy, creating hope for a brighter future in El Salvador. The adoption of Bitcoin varies across towns and regions, but there is overall optimism among those he spoke with regarding President Bukele's actions against criminals and corruption and the adoption of Bitcoin.  Graham is raising funds for his documentary project and hopes that the Bitcoin community will support it. He sees potential in combining Bitcoin with film production ensure fair compensation for content creators.

And now to make it definitive the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, which I would bet was a US action, perhaps the US and Poland. This is a speculation — Bloomberg Host: That's quite a statement. Why do you feel that that was a US action? What evidence do you have of that? Jeff Sachs: Well, first of all, there's direct radar evidence that US helicopters, military helicopters that are normally based in Gdansk, we're circling over this area. We also had the threats from the United States earlier in this year that one way or another, we are going to end Nord Stream. We also have a remarkable statement by Secretary Blinken, last Friday in a press conference, he says this is also a tremendous opportunity. It's a strange way to talk if you're worried about piracy on international infrastructure of vital significance. I know this runs counter to our narrative, that you're not allowed to say these things in the West, but the fact of the matter is, all over the world, when I talk to people, they think the US did it. And by the way, even reporters on our papers that are involved tell me privately, “Well, of course,” but it doesn't show up in our media.

Welcome to episode 115 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with PhD political scientist, author, and MMTer, Joe Firestone about the many reasons why "printing money causes inflation" is wrong. The original and unedited video of this conversation can be found on YouTube/Kerberos media. (A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found at the bottom of this post.) This conversation was inspired by the middle of episode 95 with Graham Elwood. Graham expresses concern with "all this money printing" during the coronavirus pandemic as the primary cause of "all this inflation". At the same time, he's a strong advocate for helping those who need it most, such as with healthcare, education, and union and worker rights. These two things are contradictory. The government can only spend by creating more money, and there is little the government can do without spending as part of the process. The assertion that government money creation is inherently and always harmful, is very close to saying that the government doing anything for anyone is inherently and always harmful. When the government does less, who always gets the short end of the stick? The answer, of course, are those who already get the short end of the stick. (The full segment with Graham, which is about ten-minutes long, can be found in full after today's closing music.) This conversation with Joe, our sixth episode on my podcast, is, as always, enlightening. My biggest takeaways are the following: the only thing that can be inflationary is: money that is created, that goes into the hands of citizens (in the real economy), who spend it, in sectors of the economy that cannot increase production to meet that demand. Much of the money created by the government never reaches those hands to begin with, such as bank reserves and as through QE (or quantitative easing), or a potential trillion dollar coin. The money that does reach the real economy may be invested or spent overseas. Since taxes and debts are highly regressive, much of it isn't spent, but rather is used to pay off those debts and taxes. Much of the money that is spent, is done in sectors of the economy that can increase production to match the demand. The amount left over, that is indeed spent in potentially inflationary sectors, is very small. My second take away from Joe is that the government can do bold things that can greatly reduce inflationary pressures. Some of it requires little-to-no money creation, such as by jailing corrupt CEOs, prosecuting and preventing price gouging, negotiating pharmaceutical prices, and increasing union and worker rights. Some of it may require lots of money creation, such as by providing healthcare, education, and a livable planet for all. The world is not zero-sum, it's positive sum. Some kinds of government spending is desperately needed and obviously beneficial. Some kinds of current spending is terribly harmful. The idea that government spending can only be harmful is, in addition to being wrong, anti-government, and more precisely anti-poor, propaganda.

On Sunday, August 30th, 2020, an assortment of luminaries from across the cultural spectrum joined forces to launch the movement to form a new major political party in the United States. The People's Convention 2020 Podcast brings this full event to you in eight episodes. The speakers at this event focused on discussing the issues, not abstract ideals, and made it clear that while we may not agree on everything, we have more in common than we have been led to believe by the existing major parties. The common thread amongst the speakers was a disavowal of both neofascism and neoliberalism, and an advocacy of people over corporations. This is the Movement for a People's Party. Part 1 - 43:29 - Why We Need a New Party - Cheng-Sim Lim on the push for universal healthcare - Hanieh Jodat on ending institutionalized police and military violence at home and abroad - Graham Elwood on duopoly and choosing the right time for a revolution - Danny Glover on the need for transformative change now - Dr. Peter Kalmus on climate breakdown, the Green New Deal, and ending fossil fuel subsidies
