Shownotes Transcript

During the three-day BRICS summit in the city of Kazan, presided over by Russian President Vladimir Putin, assembled leaders discussed the deepening of their nations’ financial cooperation, including the development of alternatives to Western-dominated payment systems, efforts to settle regional conflicts and expansion of the BRICS group of nations.   Moscow-based International Affairs & Security Analyst Mark Sleboda spoke with Jimmy about the meeting, and whether the growth of BRICS portends the end of a global financial system dominated by the United States and western Europe.   Plus segments on Kamala Harris’ worst answer yet on Joe Biden’s dementia and the Trump supporter accused of the most recent assassination attempt.   Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano. And a hilarious parody of Kamala Harris’ recent FaceTime video!
