Latest / Financial Survival Network / Liberty and Finance's Dunagun Kaiser Speaks #5869
Transcript
- 0:00What have you learned in the past ten twelve years from doing your show.
- 0:04One of the things that surprised me, I just thought of this when you
- 0:07asked the question that I was completely mistaken about YouTube. I thought I was
- 0:12going to be building a basically a reference library, so that each video I
- 0:17put out there would eventually get more and more and more views over time because
- 0:22people would be coming back to a reference. But I found I found it.
- 0:26There's about a three day window you have to get people's attention because they're
- 0:29onto the next thing, the next thing. Yeah, recency is absolutely that
- 0:33was a big surprise. You were listening to Carrie Let's Financial Survival Network,
- 0:37where you get valuable information you just can't find anywhere else to thrive in today's
- 0:43trying times. You need the Financial Survival Network now more than ever. Go

- 0:54Survival Network now more than ever, and welcome you are watching the Financial Survival
- 1:04Network. I am here at Rick Rule's symposium in Beautiful booka raton Florida.
- 1:11I'm sitting next to my good friend Dunnigan Kaiser. We go way back in
- 1:17this journey we've kind of had parallel journeys but going along the same path.
- 1:23And here we are. We're hanging out observing what's going on here. Your
- 1:30YouTube channel, tell us your YouTube channel. Oh, Liberty and Finance,
- 1:34Liberty and Finance must watch and hey, Donnigo, we kind of like I
- 1:40started out in this twelve years ago now and you started out shortly thereafter.
- 1:46You know what, what have you learned in the past ten twelve years from
- 1:52doing your show. One of the things that surprised me, I just thought
- 1:55of this when you asked the question that I was completely mistaken about you too.
- 2:00I thought I was going to be building a basically a reference library,
- 2:05so that each video I put out there would eventually get more and more and
- 2:08more views over time because people would be coming back to it reference per I
- 2:13found. But I found it there's about a three day window you have to
- 2:15get people's attention because they're onto the next thing and the next thing. Yeah,
- 2:20recency is absolutely that was a big surprise. One thing that I learned
- 2:23what pushed us to go instead of from one to two to three interviews per
- 2:29week to now typically six and now with the conference, shoot, we're doing
- 2:32multiple per day as well, or when things kind of break open in the
- 2:37in the geopolitical sphere or whatever, when we always have to do more multiple
- 2:39per day. And moving forward. We started out audio only, I think
- 2:45you were starting out that way as well. Then we went to video.
- 2:47Now we're doing live stream, so those are changes that have come along the
- 2:52way as well. I guess another thing that makes me think about is I
- 2:58always knew, but I think I finally convinced my audience that I'm what I'm
- 3:04bringing to this is I'm being there representative here. I'm asking the questions of
- 3:07the guests because I'm frankly quite curious at what the guests has to say.
- 3:12I want to pick the guest's brain on behalf of all of my viewers and
- 3:15myself. So I'm learning as much, I promise you, I'm learning as
- 3:20much as anyone from the guests we have on. So rather than being like
- 3:23the source of information, that's where I was really had that wrong in my
- 3:29head. The Originally I was thinking I would make a list of Okay,
- 3:30well I know this, and I know that I know about engineering, and
- 3:34I know about some things, but I didn't have to be That was one
- 3:38of the things that came to me is I don't have to be the expert
- 3:40about these things. I just have to be able to ask coherent questions that
- 3:46a reasonable person might wonder. And then that's another thing that came out along
- 3:52the way is it's been very frustrating and bewildering and angering over the last three
- 3:57years that we're not being permitted to ask some very reasonable questions that the ordinary
- 4:01person should want to know, does want to know, needs to know,
- 4:04and we're being told, you know, thou shalt not ask that you know,
- 4:08these are the names that may not be named. These are the questions
- 4:10that may not be asked. Or else community strikes or deep platforming or whatever
- 4:14you're going to get going to get canceled. That has been a I didn't
- 4:18see that one coming at all. It's been been a big, big thorn,
- 4:24and we're trying to find ways around it. I have some guests that
- 4:27are amazingly adept at using metaphors or different words or hand gestures to a global
- 4:32health issue. Yeah so or things like that, yes, things like that,
- 4:36And so it helps to have a broader vocabulary. You can expand your
- 4:42vocabulary the way you can escape the sensors filters, But that was something I
- 4:46didn't see coming. Just think of it as like when you wanted to when
- 4:49your kids were young and you want it understand something. My grandparents would speak
- 4:55Yiddish, Yes, so unfortunately Yiddish is a dead language now but bees pig
- 5:00Latin instead, so the algorithm can't pick it up well. And that becomes
- 5:04one of the things that then you really start processing what that means. And
- 5:09one of the things that that really is upsetting right down to the core of
- 5:13my heart is wait a minute. The purpose of our channel is about awareness
- 5:18and preparedness for the good of individual family, so they can take care of
- 5:23their family and they can take care of their neighbors. And it's like,
- 5:26that is a good thing. So why are we being treated In other words,
- 5:30why is there a power structure that's set up to make sure that we
- 5:34don't do that? And it's like, what does that tell you about the
- 5:38power structure if it's against the better interests of the people. So that's where
- 5:43some surprises that came along the way. Yeah, it was a shocker to
- 5:46me too. You know, with a legal background, believing in the First
- 5:49Amendment, I just assumed the two hundred and twenty five years. It was
- 5:55universally accepted, adhered to, and defended. And what a shocker. It's
- 6:02none of those things. In fact, it's under attack, and I don't
- 6:08know what can really stop it. We had a lawsuit. I don't know
- 6:12if you caught that lawsuit by Judge Dowdy where he barred government agencies other than
- 6:19for intelligence purposes and criminal purposes from censoring talking to the social media platform.
- 6:28I think I think we had you on shortly after that came out because you
- 6:30said, and then they were trying to apply it to school board meetings and
- 6:33that sort of thing. It was just crazy, the misapplication right away.
- 6:36Yeah, so well this law, this judge threatened to roll it all back
- 6:43right now. His decisions stayed by the Fifth Circuit, but it's going to
- 6:46go to the Supreme Court. The one thing I don't know about you that
- 6:50I found disappointing with all the turmoil we've had over the past several years,
- 6:56is the inability or the lack of desire of the courts no to do anything.
- 7:02Yeah, we've had a constitutional attorney, doctor Edmund Vera on and he
- 7:05goes through he goes through branch by branch or the government, showing how there's
- 7:10been absolute dereliction of duty, not just by the executive branch to not enforce
- 7:15the law of the land, which is the First Amendment, Second Amendment,
- 7:18et cetera, et cetera, but also the court's just chicking the ball,
- 7:23just punt, just past, just hot potato. And he says, in
- 7:27his viewpoint, after he's studied these cases that they've rejected, said we're not
- 7:30even gonna examine the evidence. We're not even gonna look at them. Is
- 7:33anything that's too impactful, anything that's too hot of a potato, Oh well,
- 7:40if the president really isn't the president because he wasn't eligible, or oh
- 7:43well, if if these appointees never could have gotten or if that election had
- 7:46Oh boy, how would we unwind that? Well, that's too big of
- 7:48a mess. We're not gonna open that cannonbem. So the criteria appears to
- 7:53be that which would cause too much turmoil is too hot to touch. And
- 7:58he says that's a that has no basis in lots to say that. That's
- 8:01that you can't examine things that may be true. In fact, you don't
- 8:03even look at the evidence which you're required to look at if they were true
- 8:09then and it would be impactful, then it would be within your scope.
- 8:11So that the Supreme Court in particular has has punted on numerous things that they
- 8:18should have at least examined the evidence. Yeah, and they come up with
- 8:22grounds not to do it. The only constitutional right that they've advanced over the
- 8:28past ten twenty years is the Second Amendment. All the other amendments seemed to
- 8:33be on the back shelf. Well, it's kind of interesting how people.
- 8:39This is interesting because when we had the Obama presidency, people were all buying
- 8:46weapons, thinking that they're going to need to protect themselves against a government overreach,
- 8:50that sort of thing. And then when Trump came in, they called
- 8:52it the Trump slump in the firearms industry because AMMA became readily available. Weapons
- 9:00makers went out of business. Yeah, it went bankrupt, long standing ones,
- 9:03right, and then and then now again we're back back off to the
- 9:05races again and people feeling, oh, yikes, I better, I better
- 9:09be able to protect my hearth at home, and the right people, we
- 9:11should be able to protect our hearth at home. Frankly, that's it gets
- 9:13back to. And we've had again doctor Vera is also an expert on the
- 9:16Second Amendment, and we've had him on talking about people completely misunderstand and it's
- 9:22a shame that it's not just about hunting rights, and it's not just about
- 9:24self defense. It's about being able to stand up to tyranny. And so
- 9:28therefore anyone says, oh, well, you we shouldn't have anyone having military
- 9:31style weapons, he said, that's exactly the style of weapon you were required
- 9:35to have in all of the state's constitutions at the time. The Secondment was
- 9:39written so that you could repel threats for an in domestic All right, well,
- 9:43I'm going to go out and buy a rocket, rocket propelled grenade launch
- 9:46and the tank while you're editing. Yeah, in the armored personnel carrier or
- 9:50all. Just get the new Tesla cyber truck that should cover all the bases.
- 9:56But so freedom's under it salt and so effectively they said, you know,
- 10:03when it gets bad enough, you still got your Second Amendment rights,
- 10:05go use them. They've just punted on everything. You ever lose hope for
- 10:11the future. I mean, you've got a lot of kids, grandchildren,
- 10:15we do, and I wouldn't say completely loose hope no, I would say,
- 10:20I confess that I am guilty of what I think a lot of us
- 10:26are, and that is just trying not to dwell too much on the gravity
- 10:31of the situation we face, because it can be overwhelming and when you if
- 10:35you do get overwhelmed, then you become kind of paralyzed and it's not helpful.
- 10:39So there's a couple ways around that. One is to believe that this
- 10:41is not the end of the story. There's a bigger picture, and frankly,
- 10:46there's a bigger authority here than these these earthly princes that like to push
- 10:50people around. They are not the ultimate authority. And so having faith in
- 10:54a higher authority and believing that this is not the end of the story.
- 10:58There will be there will be justice, it will come is one thing.
- 11:03But the other thing is just taking small practical steps. I remember when we
- 11:07had three children under three at one point, and my whole world of trying
- 11:11to be mister Joe professional in my trench coat and briefcase going off to the
- 11:15office. I was completely stressed out until I kind of turned my life around
- 11:20and realize I'm going to make building our home and our family my number one
- 11:24focus. In other words bloom, where your plan to do what you can
- 11:28do in a local thing. That's why you know, we're given the opportunity
- 11:31where we are in time and in space and with the resources and the and
- 11:35the innatabilities and the friends and the connections. And I was just talking to
- 11:39you before the before we get started about how your influence affected a trajectory of
- 11:43my son's ability to get into podcasting, and that got me into it and
- 11:46so on. That's opened up other doors for our family. So you never
- 11:50you never know what opportunities, what possibilities lie just beyond that next starting that
- 11:56next new thing, or trying that trying and branching out in a new way,
- 12:01reaching out to a new person. So I'm a firm believer that it's
- 12:05not hopeless. And frankly, I have a favorite saint of mine, Saint
- 12:09Padre Pio, and one of his favorite sayings famous sayings is pray, hope,
- 12:15and don't worry, because when we fail followed the pit of worry,
- 12:18it's it's very nonproductive. It disables our abilities. We've had Navy seals on
- 12:22our show talking about when you're in an attack situation, defending hearth and home
- 12:28or whatever, your adrenaline goes up, so how you cannot think clearly.
- 12:31You can't, you can't, your memory shuts down. All these things happen
- 12:35because your body and your mind is totally just focused on the threat at hand.
- 12:39And in some ways, if you assume that your your preparedness is dependent
- 12:45on all these plans you had kind of thought you had made, or tools
- 12:48you have to get at or unlock or whatever to be able to repel this
- 12:52threat, that's not going to be. Therefore, you can't count on thinking
- 12:56well at a time of great stress. So you can either train under stress
- 13:03situations until you get to where you can still function in that situation, which
- 13:07is one option. That's what that's what the Navy Seals do. Or you
- 13:11could, as an alternative to that, make things so simple and get them
- 13:16so close so they're not undoable for you, even though you these things seem
- 13:24too big, too big for us to affect. And I also trust in
- 13:26getting the word out. We were talking about freedom of speech just a moment
- 13:30ago. By by getting the word out, so I have one voice.
- 13:33But when we have ninety thousand subscribers on YouTube and then people retweet and repost
- 13:37our stuff, you're reaching untold numbers of people in igniting sparks in their mind.
- 13:43And that's how that's how humans have always shared ideas, and an idea
- 13:48is a very powerful thing, very true. Yeah, that's why they're trying
- 13:52to get us. Do not to say these things. Well, so like
- 13:54when you're talking about you know, Navy seals, airline pilot, they don't
- 14:00practice flying at cruising altitude and everything is perfect. What happens when you lose
- 14:07an engine? What happens when you lose both? What if something goes wrong?
- 14:11What if we lose electric by train? Emergency situations? And when you
- 14:16listen to the FAA black box, the recording of the pilot communicating with the
- 14:24tower, they're never panicking. They're always seemingly in control, trying to solve
- 14:30the problem at hand. You know, may may not work out, but
- 14:35that's exactly it. And the thing is so manipulation and media. They're always
- 14:41trying to knock you out of your rational state into your irrational emotional state of
- 14:46fear and worry and doubt and all of that. So you know, when
- 14:54the pandemic hit, I just said, you know, I'm gonna do what
- 14:58I'm going to do. I'm going to live my best life and I'm not
- 15:03gonna I'm just not gonna pay any attention to them. And I'll tell you
- 15:07I had the best year that all of best years I ever had. I
- 15:11happen to get COVID. I was in the hospital. It was bad for
- 15:16a couple of days, six days in the hospital, but with the exception
- 15:20of that three week illness, and then after COVID, I lost all this
- 15:24weight, in better shape than I ever was before for the past thirty years.
- 15:28So you know, it's hard though to filter it out though, isn't
- 15:33it? Well? It is. It depends, and my wife reminds me
- 15:37of that because given the preparedness focus of our channel, I tend to be
- 15:43exposed to and seeking out feeds of information to tell me where there's a problem
- 15:48so that we can talk about it, because it may be something people need
- 15:52to be aware of so they can be prepared. That habit of seeking out
- 15:56information about where there needs to be a problem can be a pit because if
- 16:00you stay in that mindset all the time, you're not appreciating. You're not
- 16:03smelling the roses, you're not appreciating the sunsets, and that sort of thing.
- 16:07So we're challenging each other. It's our new thing, and we're doing
- 16:10pretty well at it. I think of really stopping and watching the rainbows and
- 16:15noticing when the osprey is going on it to go catch that fish out of
- 16:17them out of the pond, and things like that. Just the wonders of
- 16:19our grandkids and the treasure of a family on a marriage and that sort of
- 16:25thing is something that we're trying to take the time to stop and appreciate,
- 16:29and it really makes it If an exercise being active, yeah, you can
- 16:32say, oh, there's no purpose, it's not productive. It's like you
- 16:33swat a ball around the rack of the pick a ball court for well,
- 16:37I don't know. We feel a lot better after we do that. So
- 16:41one thing, you know, scientists have a lot of the wrong stuff,
- 16:45a lot of stuff with food nutrition. But the one thing that every doctor
- 16:51and every scientist out there agrees on is you should be exercising and doing whatever
- 16:57you are physically able to do on a regular basis, because not only will
- 17:03you be healthier at the present, but when you get to my advanced stage,
- 17:07you'll be healthier then as well. Right, and keeping your blown mass
- 17:11up and keep your muscle mass up and stuff like that so important. Yeah.
- 17:14Yeah, My wife always reminds me when we have the opportunity to take
- 17:17the elevator, she says, well, should we take the stairs instead?
- 17:18So she's a really great one about that. Should we walk longer than we
- 17:22did yesterday because we didn't get our walks in yesterday, that kind of thing.
- 17:23So it's a good reminder, accountability partner. That's a key to a
- 17:27successful marriage. So I'm going to ask you something a little off key here,
- 17:32a little oddball. But we've had a lot of talk about UFOs or
- 17:37whatever they call them now AFPs or something like that, and you know,
- 17:42and you wonder, is it a siop? Si up? If you're not
- 17:45aware, is a si up is an operation that is geared to control people
- 17:52psychologically. CIA is a master of it is an extraterrestrial thing, the UFOs.
- 18:00Is this a siop or is it real? Because when you talked about
- 18:03before of being something else above us? Certainly, if you can travel interstellarly
- 18:10between whatever planet they're at, you know, potentially billions of light years away,
- 18:15they can get here instantaneously. They're obviously way way ahead of us.
- 18:22What's your take on this whole discussion. I don't know that I'll be able
- 18:25to speak intelligently to that subject. I would just say that I have a
- 18:30science scientific training background, and that that predisposes me to. I mean,
- 18:36I like what Galileo said. He said the Book of Nature is open to
- 18:41all who would read it, and the language is written in as mathematics.
- 18:44So I studied a lot of math, and I studied a lot of science.
- 18:45And that's why I've been really ticked off the last three years is what's
- 18:48being mislabeled as science. It's really just indoctrination or or you know, just
- 18:56trying to corrupt it, well corruption sure, trying to push a narrative,
- 19:02propaganda, and then just slapping the label science on it, as though that's
- 19:06going to shut down conversation about it as a conversation stopper. So I don't
- 19:11know the answer. When I was speaking of a higher authority, I was
- 19:15being of a higher power being got But that's fine. But so I don't
- 19:18actually know the answer. But I guess any legitimate scientists would say, let's
- 19:25find out what we know and let's be open to that rather than rather than
- 19:29predisposing. You know, I know the answer before I even examine the evidence.
- 19:33So yeah, well it's just interesting because certainly were the world's orson wills
- 19:42that whole radio thing. You know, he said five times that it was
- 19:45fake, but people people were jumping off bridges and yeah, they were like,
- 19:49hey, we're getting invaded by extraterrestrial because they trusted whatever came across the
- 19:55wires. And that's something that's Um. You mentioned how we've been in an
- 20:00dated with fear and worry as a as a means of controlling people did remark
- 20:07in the governments of the world, and the people of the world did an
- 20:10astonishing job of lockstep other than a few oddballs like you that decided to go
- 20:15on with their life, you know, over the past three years. And
- 20:18you've got to ask yourself you have a healthy, as you said, a
- 20:22healthy skepticism, not just towards government, but towards what you hear on the
- 20:26main media as well. Um, so it can be, it can be
- 20:29bewildering as an ordinary person. How are you supposed to separate the lives from
- 20:33the truth and you always do a gut check. You can check from different
- 20:37angles. I would say definitely, don't just take one source as your only
- 20:41source. Try trying to weigh questions like that. Couldn't agree more. I
- 20:45just find the whole thing fascinating. You know, when I was like eleven
- 20:52years old, as in the backyard, and there had been a whole bunch
- 20:55of UFO sightings in the Worth East, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
- 21:03And I'm in the backyard and I look up and I see this thing.
- 21:07It's a spherical object, but it looked like it was a rock.
- 21:11But it's got like red lights flashing and blue lights and green lights, and
- 21:17it leaves a trail of steam behind it. I mean, it almost sounded
- 21:21like a hissing sound, and it just went on its path. And the
- 21:26media said that it was a meteor and it crashed. Well, I don't
- 21:30know where that got all those lights from. And I'm not saying it was
- 21:34an ET or a UFO. I'm just saying that their explanation didn't never satisfied.
- 21:41That's not sufficient to what you had observed. Yeah, we had our
- 21:44children observed something that I couldn't explain or understand over when they were when they
- 21:48were young, and all three of them had the same rendition of that not
- 21:52very different from what you described. So yeah, that's it's it's worthy of
- 21:56curiosity, it's worthy of you know, inspection. So I don't have the
- 22:02answer for you. All right, Well, hey, but we're always thinking
- 22:04and open to possibilities. I think maybe that's what we both kind of specialize
- 22:11in. Is like you think you know one thing. How many times do
- 22:15you find out you think you knew something and you were wrong? Well?
- 22:18Yeah, so even in my engineering career, I was I was responsible for
- 22:23like designing and specifying very complex expensive equipment and when it would finally and designing
- 22:29and doing the drawings and sending it off for fabrication. If when it would
- 22:32arrive, rather than just going, oh, look it showed up, I'll
- 22:34check it off on the box, I would crawl all over the equipment,
- 22:37measuring all the dimensions and everything like that. So that old thing about trust
- 22:40and verify it absolutely applies. Yes, it's it's a good idea to look
- 22:47at where are the weaknesses in my plan? Where where haven't I checked?
- 22:52My wife reminds me of this all the time. It's like, well why
- 22:53didn't you check that? It's like, ah, because I get tired of
- 22:56checking everything and you finally get bit at the time, you don't. So
- 22:59anyway, it's a good idea to verify information and from multiple sources. That's
- 23:03another thing that really stinks about the oppressive environment we're finding ourselves in where there's
- 23:10only one acceptable narrative and you can't deviate from it. It's like says,
- 23:12who, I mean that that doesn't make any sense. I mean, that's
- 23:17the that's anti size, that's unscientific, it's anti science. Is you know,
- 23:22challenge science is all about replication, replicating results, and you know,
- 23:29blowing through theories that no longer serve. Right, if you have new new
- 23:33evidence that shows that that wasn't developed there, then you get smarter and you
- 23:37move on. Yeah, but now settled science to be science is anything but
- 23:42settled, right Einstein, there's still saying yeah, he was mostly right,
- 23:48but there's a few areas he wasn't right and they're working on them. So
