Summary

Chris Cuomo breaks down why the protests in Los Angeles are a manufactured crisis that serves President Trump's political agenda while distracting from real issues like the economy and interest rates. He argues that Trump's federalization of the National Guard is unnecessary theatrics designed to make him look strong, while the left's protests—contaminated by pro-Palestinian flags and property destruction—hand Trump an optical victory. Cuomo warns that both sides are playing dangerous games with selective outrage, comparing protesters to insurrectionists when it suits them and ignoring their own hypocrisy. He sees America's political divisions manifesting physically in the streets, creating conditions that could lead to catastrophic consequences. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how to protect wealth during uncertain times through tangible assets like gold and silver rather than hackable digital currencies.

0:00.0	There are things they're not telling you about what's happening in Los Angeles and elsewhere around
0:04.4	this country. And I'll give you one hint. There's about to be more and worse. And you have to

0:35.5	highly contrived. However, most of you are probably watching and
0:41.1	are outraged. The question is why? There are two groups. One is, I can't believe all these people in
0:47.9	the streets and the lawlessness and how they're destroying everything. And here we go again,
0:52.2	like George Floyd or one of these other BLM things. They're going to think what they're going to think, and they're destroying everything. And here we go again, like George Floyd or one of these other BLM things, they're going
0:56.4	to think what they're going to think.
0:57.9	And they're being fed by very different people.
1:01.2	I have a message for the other group who is looking and saying, what the, what just happened
1:06.5	now?
