Topic: 80 Year Cycle

Reflecting on a prediction made ten years ago, the hosts revisit the concept of 80-year historical war cycles. They discuss how the 2020 cycle, rather than manifesting as a traditional foreign war, appeared as domestic turmoil involving lockdowns and civil unrest. The discussion explores the idea that the "fourth cycle" conflict is being fought against the government rather than an external enemy.

A theory is presented regarding 80-year cycles in American history, linking the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II to the current crisis. The hosts play a clip of FEMA Director Pete Gaynor accidentally saying the government is taking steps to "attack" the health and safety of Americans before correcting himself to "protect."

John C. Dvorak posits a theory that the Republican establishment may want Hillary Clinton to win to avoid being in power during an imminent economic collapse. Citing 40 and 80-year cycles of depression, he compares a potential Clinton presidency to the one-term failures of Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover. The hosts suggest the GOP might prefer a "shitty" Democratic president to take the blame for a financial crisis.

A theory is presented regarding an 80-year economic cycle that predicts a massive worldwide depression followed by a major war, citing historical precedents in 1780, 1860, and 1940. The prediction suggests a ten-year period of stagnation starting around 2020, with the current credit crisis serving as a precursor.
