Great show but I think both of you were ignoring the elephant in the room. Yes UK went to war on a lie in Iraq and 1m people are dead. This is unforgivable. Now the UK is complicit in a genocide and no one was talking about it. Talking to friends and family. This is the reason a lot of them just didn’t vote. There was no point cos both sides support genocide, support censorship and support sending bombs to foreign tyrants. I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way.

Show Notes
Steve Baker is a former Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Wycombe, serving from 2010 until 2024. In this episode, we discuss pressing economic and political issues such as the challenges of government debt, inflation, and the often overlooked consequences of central bank policies. With a focus on the impact of taxation and government spending on individual freedoms and economic productivity. We also discuss the structural inefficiencies in politics and examine the growing disconnect between politicians and economic realities. Reflecting on his experience in Parliament, Steve emphasises the need for public education on economic fundamentals, a paradigm...

300 Dr Jacks and Breedlove keep talking about the absolute importance of the protection of “private property” but completely ignore the literal theft of people’s homes in Palestine. Every home in Israel was stolen from a Palestinian family 🤷♂️.
You can’t pretend to defend private property while ignoring the evil that is happening in Palestine. It comes off false.

300 Dr Jack: AI is the most dangerous thing in humanity because it has the ability to whitewash history
Breedlove: but Bitcoin is immutable. The history of the 21million cannot be changed.
This struck me hard.
Is it possible to code books humanity will need to rebuilt civilisation or simply can we code books or ideas which we think are important into the blockchain. Is it feasible? Will it mess up Bitcoin? Is it expensive?
Great listen.

20k Finally just as I was losing my faith in bitcoiners along comes a bitcoiner who is brave enough to speak what everyone sees. Yes the Zionist mafia is committing genocide against the Palestinians and history will remember it as such.
Thank you for having the great big hairy balls!!! The unapologetic bloody mindedness to speak the truth to power. Always. Robert Breedlove I salute you.

5k To your point of not needing investment, would it be possible to say saving could be seen as a decentralised investment in society as by removing money from circulation you make everything in society cheaper, including the waiters wages for example, increasing the value of other people’s savings and therefore allowing them to use their savings to allocate capital?

3k Great show Teddy and Daryl. I got my knots badge but got my beard stuck in the knot. It was 45 mins of pain but the teacher was very impressed cos he thought it was the strongest knot he’d ever seen. Had to cut my beard in the end. No loger feeling the Gandalf vibe but proud of my knot. Tell me a bit more about your train sets.

2.1k Ok someone needs to tell me if this is planned theft or If the govt is really trying to minimise the risk of contamination of the big banks in event of extreme financial collapse. From discussing withDeepSeek it seems a lot of this came out of the collapse of bear sterns where toxic assets could not be separated from bank assets. Really need your ‘Guys Take’. This is really an important one.

Very interesting

Very interesting podcast. Steve really had an understanding of what is wrong with the financial system and what difficult decisions need to be taken to fix it. Sadly his loyalty to the Conservative party creates a gapping flaw in his thinking. He explains how the last 100 years has seen an enormous increase in the size of the state. The conservatives were on charge for most of the time!!! They are socialists Steve, why can't you see that? I am 100 satting you here, only because I have already paid with my time and attention.
