  • Ukraine vs Russia: The Real Nuclear Threat is NOT what you think.

    Ukraine vs Russia: The Real Nuclear Threat is NOT what you think.
    Oct 27 2024
    Welcome to the Jay Martin Show. In this week's episode, Serhii Plokhii, a professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard, explores the complex historical and geopolitical roots of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He emphasizes that the struggle is deeply tied to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Russia’s ambitions to reclaim influence over its former territories, with Ukraine being a crucial component of this agenda. Plokhii highlights that the greater nuclear threat lies not in weapons but in the vulnerability of nuclear power plants in conflict zones, which could trigger catastrophic events.

  • Is Blackrock Bankrolling the War in Ukraine & Middle East?

    Is Blackrock Bankrolling the War in Ukraine & Middle East?
    Oct 18 2024
    Today on the Jay Martin Show, retired army colonel Douglas Macgregor offers a critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy, highlighting the influence of wealthy donors and oligarchs in shaping national decisions. He argues that America’s involvement in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East is driven not by public interest but by the financial incentives of a few powerful figures. Macgregor emphasizes that American democracy is compromised by this donor control, and that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East serve the interests of corporate elites rather than the American public. He also discusses how media manipulation and government corruption further perpetuate this system, leading to unnecessary military interventions. Finally, Macgregor touches on the geopolitical implications of these conflicts, suggesting that the U.S. is courting major wars while ignoring its own domestic issues, and warns of the possible financial collapse looming on the horizon.

He touches on the challenges that policymakers face in preventing a collapse due to the systemic risks and the broader impact on the economy. The conversation also covers inflation, deflation risks, and the long-term implications for commodities like gold.

  • China Could Prevent The Collapse of America - What Everyone is Missing

    China Could Prevent The Collapse of America - What Everyone is Missing
    Sep 15 2024
    Today on the Jay Martin Show, Jay is joined by renowned economist and professor - Richard Wolff. Professor Wolff is the founder of Democracy at Work, host of Economic Update and teaches at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In this interview we dive into the dynamics of U.S.-China competitiveness and explore the probable outcomes in the shifting global landscape. We compare the governance models of the three dominant powers over the past century: the Soviet Union's socialist system, the U.S.'s capitalist structure, and China's unique socialist-capitalist hybrid. A key focus is how China operates much like a corporation, with centralized vision and policy set by its leadership, while different levels of autonomy function similarly to executives, managers, and employees in a business.
