I love the music on the intro.
I downloaded it yesterday from Amazon music and listened to it all day.
What is it?

Thank you, thank you. I wanted this bit of info for awhile. Really enjoy your work 👍👍👍
James: John here. Around autumn 2009 I sent you email citing your previous life as a lib. You denied but then I brought receipts. I'm obstreperous & often with an intermittent control knob. Your response was "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.". So, we are alike. I loved to write little stories as a kid. Your skill rocks & crushes it. Oh... I replied "my horse is hale & hearty & f.u., too". Party on. I'm a cheap free subscriber; that's another story.
I had no "previous life as a lib." I voted for Barack Obama over John McCain, but that didn't make me a lib. Don't presume that you know very well.
JHK The eternal grumpy old jew...even when he was 15..
Yes.
The driver is finance.
And the British driver of finance is their fuckery within the Council On Foreign Relations.
It is the matrix.
Literally.
Just discovered your KunstlerCast...you and your guest offer some great insights. Thanks
Tom should listen to this and count how many times he says “you know”. It will make him better.
A search on the transcript of this episode indicates that Tom says "you know" 57 times and JHK says it 4 times. I created the KunstlerCast podcast back in 2008 and edited every weekly episode until 2012. Back then, Jim used to say "you know" often. I noticed that his verbal fillers significantly decreased after he started editing the show himself. (It does help to listen to yourself!)
Great to hear from you again, Duncan! The success in Kunstler's podcasts I'm sure owes much to your intelligence and guidance in setting up Jim's podcasts. I'd welcome an episode in which you and Jim discuss the contemporary milieu of public media. In fact, I'd love to hear both of you discussing any contemporary topic, or just reminiscing.
I really appreciated those early podcasts. You did a wonderful job with those.
You're right about the incoming administration being prepared this time. He got schooled real good last time and they made sure to infiltrate real good this go around.
A lot of talk that suggests a mind set elevated above the propaganda. And then this? Stalin killed 50 millon people?
Dates and documents related to Churchill's role in over-valuing the pound please. What office did he hold, and how long. His "wilderness years" were a time when he supported himself with columns and books. He had no power within the parliamentary system.
Can I read it somewhere? Is there a transcript? I can’t hear, so…
Click on the "Transcript" button (just below the title and on the right side).
There isn’t one. I’m on an Apple tablet.
On the original email under the "listen now" There is a full title - click on that and that page has a transcript choice.
Yes, Ty! I never look in that mailbox,I made it just for crap, like a garbage can under your mailbox, literally. And sure enough, worked exactly as you said. Which now allows me to expand a little incoming knowledge. Ty very much.
I think yall get your posts in email. I just read from the app. Your saying if I open it in my email, I can read transcripts?
Yes, did you try it?
Two of the best minds out there. The most intelligent repartee I've ever heard on any podcast.
For a quick run through of what's happening, this interview offers some penetrating analysis. Questions posed opened thirty thousand foot view along with a little fly-on-the-wall perspective. Another hour or two with Mr. Luongo would be worth the time to me. Thanks to both of you and all those that make this conversation accessible.
Remember: "theses" is only 3 letters away from "feces".
Maybe try Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell" next time for the intro music. I'm sure you know it.
Just an FYI to stay informed... smart guy here:

The over valuing of the Pound post WW2, was an economic disaster for the UK. It started the hollowing out of the UK economy, as it was cheaper to import than domestically produce.
It did provide financial power, which is why the UK economy is now almost exclusively London based finance.
Dear Jim, A brilliant discussion between you two! Many thanks for putting this together. It validated so many of the suppositions we have about how things are shaping up. In particular I commend Tom for his unequivocal warning about the invitation to Balmoral. A deadly danger. That's where persons unknown did in the good old Queen Elizabeth.
Love the intro music as well. Wonderful podcast gentlemen. I'm very appreciative. 🤓
Very enjoyable.
Thank you insightful!!!
