Release Date: April 7, 2025
Hosts: Clayton Morris and Natalie Morris

Overview

In this episode of Redacted News, hosts Clayton Morris and Natalie Morris delve into the escalating tensions surrounding President Trump's implementation of tariffs and the resultant backlash from the liberal media and financial markets. The discussion extends to international relations, focusing on Benjamin Netanyahu's persistent visits to the White House and Israel's controversial actions in the Middle East. Additionally, the episode examines widespread protests across all 50 states, questioning their authenticity and underlying motivations.

Trump’s Tariffs and Media Meltdown

Clayton Morris opens the episode by addressing the massive uproar in the mainstream media over President Trump's tariff policies. He asserts that major outlets like CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, Yahoo Finance, and Bloomberg are portraying the tariffs as harbingers of an economic "nuclear winter."

Clayton Morris [01:10]: "To listen to CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, all of the major Yahoo Finance, all of these Bloomberg, they're all losing their minds over it, saying that an economic nuclear winter is coming basically under Trump's tariffs."

Natalie Morris counters by highlighting public sentiment on Main Street, noting that factory workers and those concerned about job losses to China perceive the tariffs differently—a narrative the mainstream media is allegedly neglecting.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s White House Engagements

The hosts shift focus to international affairs, particularly Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated visits to the White House within the early months of Trump's administration. They question Netanyahu's objectives, suspecting ulterior motives behind his consistent presence.

Natalie Morris [01:52]: "Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House... Is he going to come every month until he gets the war with Iran that he wants so badly?"

They scrutinize Israel's military actions, especially allegations that Israel is committing war crimes by targeting civilians, and express frustration over the perceived silence from the White House.

Nationwide Protests Against Trump and Elon Musk

Clayton introduces the topic of organized protests that erupted simultaneously in all 50 states, ostensibly against President Trump and Elon Musk's influence on American democracy. He raises suspicions about the authenticity of these protests, pointing out inconsistencies in protesters' understanding of their grievances.

Clayton Morris [02:15]: "But who's behind these paid protests? And these protesters, when they're confronted... they don't know exactly what they're protesting for."

Natalie Morris links these protests to long-standing liberal groups like Indivisible and the Open Society Foundation, suggesting that these organizations are orchestrating these demonstrations to maintain influence over the political landscape.

Natalie Morris [04:49]: "They have done what they were told, what we were told was responsible. They didn't study that for themselves."

Economic Analysis: Tariffs, Inflation, and the Federal Reserve

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the economic impact of Trump's tariffs. The hosts feature Kevin O'Leary, CEO of Lear Capital, who defends the tariffs as a strategic move to level the playing field with China, addressing issues like intellectual property theft and market access.

Kevin O'Leary [08:40]: "They don't know how long the tap is going to be on... Usually, it's done in trade agreements with specific countries."

Clayton counters mainstream media narratives by presenting economic indicators that suggest improvements, such as plummeting oil and grocery prices and a drop in inflation to pre-pandemic levels (1.3% according to Truflation).

Clayton Morris [10:03]: "Remarkably, oil prices have now plummeted. Grocery prices have dropped significantly in recent weeks... inflation number has now dropped to pre-pandemic numbers of 1.3%."

Kevin Demerit joins the conversation to discuss the Federal Reserve's potential response to these economic shifts, emphasizing the need for data-driven decisions rather than reactive measures.

Critique of Mainstream Media and Financial Systems

Both hosts criticize the mainstream media for its sensationalist coverage and perceived lack of substantive analysis regarding Trump's tariffs and the broader economic implications. They argue that the media focuses on short-term market volatility without acknowledging positive indicators or long-term benefits of the tariffs.

Clayton Morris [07:00]: "It's all about telling the mainstream media to scare you..."

Natalie extends the critique to financial systems, specifically targeting the 401(k) retirement plans, branding them as flawed investments that leave individuals vulnerable to market fluctuations.

Natalie Morris [31:29]: "The average 401k on full maturity when somebody retires is $90,000. How are you going to live your entire retirement on $90,000?"

War Crimes and Accountability

A heated segment of the podcast addresses Israel's military actions, accusing Netanyahu of orchestrating war crimes against civilians and medical personnel in the Middle East. The hosts express outrage over reported incidents where Israeli forces allegedly targeted and killed unarmed medical workers and children, questioning the international community's silence and the U.S.'s unwavering support for Israel.

Clayton Morris [41:18]: "We have to hold the Israelis accountable. They've committed numerous war crimes since the start of this conflict."

They also discuss the broader implications of labeling critics of Israel as anti-Semites, arguing that this conflation stifles legitimate discourse and accountability.

Free Speech and Anti-Semitism

The episode delves into the expanding definitions of anti-Semitism and its impact on free speech, especially concerning criticism of Israeli policies. The hosts express concern over legislative changes that may restrict open dialogue and label dissent as hate speech, potentially endangering journalists and citizens who voice opposition.

Natalie Morris [55:26]: "We're being removed our ability to be critical of Israel under the guise of anti Semitism."

Clayton Morris laments the erosion of free speech protections, linking it to broader authoritarian trends and the suppression of dissenting voices.

Conclusion

In wrapping up, the hosts reiterate their commitment to uncovering the "stories nobody else tells," emphasizing the importance of independent analysis and skepticism towards mainstream narratives. They encourage listeners to stay informed through alternative channels and remain vigilant against perceived propaganda and manipulation by powerful entities.

Clayton Morris [73:28]: "Just do the opposite of whatever Jim Cramer tells you to do."
