• 2:23
  SPEAKER_03: It is the 9th of April 2026.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_03: I have to remind myself what year it is.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_03: I'm joined in studio by Beans the Brave, who is my co-pilot and co-host.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_03: She's going to keep us safe from woodland creatures, bad vibes, intruders, anything that would disrupt the show.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_03: I've got uh the crew here in Branson.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: It is uh a beautiful day here in the Ozarks, and we're gonna tackle a bit of the dystopia.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, did you think that you'd live long enough or the simulation would unravel enough to where the president of the United States would be standing next to an Easter bunny uh talking about the end of another civilization?
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_03: I I didn't have that one on my bingo card.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: And my mind's pretty out there, you know.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_03: I I would say I I have a very unconventional mind.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, that's the reason I have this show.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this you guys are my support group, and uh I show up with the chaos of my brain every week.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_03: And I originally put in, you know, taglines like Welcome to Tomorrow back in 2018 when I relaunched this show when I came back into radio and we were talking about the future.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: I was talking about the great reset in 2019, long before COVID-1984, and we delve into some weird spaces.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_03: But folks, this is, I mean, truly, and you're watching uh it's not only the end of an era, it's the end of something, right?
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_03: And I mean, like an experiment or the culmination of bad ideas.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_03: I was talking to my friend Clint, who's been uh well, not just a friend, but a supporter of the show for many years, and I he actually helped me edit the uh David Icke interview and uh the Richard Willett interview that I did over at Iconic, and we're gonna be releasing that here in the next uh 48 hours or so.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: But I was talking to him, we're just he knows all about uh the what we've covered in the past uh eight years on this program, and I just said it reminds me of a song uh when I was a kid, 1997, uh the Rollins band, Henry Rollins, you know, and he was uh the lead singer for Black Flag.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: He's just a built guy, he likes to lift weights, but he's also a poet.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_03: He does spoken word.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I don't know why this just came to my mind, but I want to read you the lyrics.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_03: And and this is this is about the end of the American Empire, it's the end of the petrodollar, it's the end of like this illusion uh that we live in a fair society, or that uh that that the people who govern us are sane, logical players.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I think we can finally like the veneer is off, and we've always had psychopaths and you know, self-serving, sociopathic, uh narcissists.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_03: We've always had that.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: But it's just that the the veneer and the all of the customs around what you're supposed to do to act like you're not truly a power hungry psycho, that's all fallen away.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_03: And they just show us who they really are.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, we have sprinklings of it's funny because there's 300 plus 350 million plus whatever Americans and uh the vast majority are just probably really good people with good hearts that want to help others, and and and society, it shows us, you know, the way that humans work, the way that this whole system is set up, or those who are willing to do just about anything, like Lyndon Johnson said, uh, if we do everything, we win, you know, like and he did.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_03: He did everything, you know, lie, cheat, steal, uh, disappear people.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: Like they did it all.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: Like, if we do everything, we'll win.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: Well, he sure did.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_03: And that system that they built post-JFK, uh, which is really starting with Johnson taking the silver out of the coinage, going off the gold standard, creating the petrodollar, you know, uh having all of the peace dividends, just oh, just saying to hell with that, you know, we throw that away.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: We don't need to worry about having any sort of peace, because war is the health of the state, and we got to get healthy, like an addict has to take another hit.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_03: So here's here's the lyrics for the end of something.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know why this came to my mind, but this is uh this is after talking to Clint.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_03: When the tears from your eyes that you cried have dried, and there's nothing left to say, when you see that the time we spent together meant nothing, and you couldn't make me stay.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: Remember me and my eyes and how they saw you.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_03: Remember me and my voice and what I said.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: It's over, and now there's nothing.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_03: It's the end, the end of something.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: And I think Gard Goldsmith will appreciate that little that little interlude.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, my friend Gard, uh, Liberty Conspiracy.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_03: Go check him out.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is and we'll cover some of this today.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: There's not an ounce of fat on this show.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_03: I actually got some hidden history.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna go into an article from uh Judge Napolitano.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: I want to talk about the a little bit more about the petrodoll.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_03: We'll probably do that first.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_03: Some stuff going on with the French.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's like a follow-up from the 1960s.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: We'll talk a little bit about that and then uh see what else we can get through.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_03: I've there's a short little snippet from uh iconic, uh, my friend Richard Willett over there had a funny headline.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: We'll get into that.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_03: But I was supposed to go on the David Knight show this morning, and I yesterday um my dad's been in the hospital, uh Tony Sr.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: for the past um since Monday, so past few days.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: And he had an issue yesterday.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, it was pretty serious, and I'm in Branson, so I had to make a decision based off his condition, you know, whether or not I was gonna uh leave.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: And so I told David, just put that, you know, on a table, that, and we'll I'll probably be back next week.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: So most likely we'll see David night next week.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_03: But uh from what I understand, my dad is is okay.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_03: Uh he's he's recovering, at least that's what uh I'm praying for.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: And uh, you know, just whenever you have that kind of stuff happen to your parents.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_03: And I, you know, I lost my grandfather, Morris, when I was really young.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_03: I was fifteen and he was uh uh sixty one.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_03: And of course that's my dad's dad.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: And so it makes you think about stuff like that.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_03: And I hope um that my dad he liked my last show last week and uh sent me a really nice text and uh I appreciate his support.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_03: I hope I get to uh he get hope he gets to listen to this and that uh we get to discuss this show.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: But I was thinking about him actually we had a it's interesting, I had a dream last night about he and I in Sofia, Bulgaria, and he was with me uh on 9-11.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_03: And of course I'd already done a tour, I already done my first foreign war.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: So I this was, you know, I joined the army in '99, went to Kosovo, and uh came back.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_03: And so this was going into you know 2000, 2001, and the colonel who was in charge of the battalion said, Artiburn, uh, we know about your background, you know, you held a world record in powerlifting, you were state champ and all this stuff.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, just go power lift uh for the army and uh we'll sponsor you.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_03: So I said, yeah, basically what sponsor meant was we'll just let you go do it.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_03: And so I did, and I went and won nationals, and so I was on the American team, and we were I you know asked my dad, I was like, go over to Bulgaria with me, that's where the world championships is.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: And so we got there on September 10th, 2001, and we stayed at this hotel called the Hotel Hamas, and uh uh this is the craziest time, and it's like the whatever, and I I think in history, right?
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_03: This way my mind works, it's like uh it's not really linear either.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's like in streams of time is the way that my mind works.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: And that was like a bifurcation point, like everything past that point.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_03: So I was just 21.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_03: I was starting to somewhat figure things out, and I'd you know had a very unconventional life as a kid, very intense.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that's the thing is like you you don't win you can being completely natural and you know not ever taking any performance-enhancing drugs, you don't set world records and stuff by being passive or just go with the flow or be happy, you know.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_03: I I never I was very intense, and um I don't know if you could tell.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: Um I've much I've mellowed a lot, uh a great deal, but I was very intense.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: And so I was on the American team, and it's a long story, but you know, the next day uh was 9-11.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, we got there, and uh one of the things that I this was uh part of my dream, but we we gotten a couple of DVDs on the way.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_03: I said, watch a movie with me.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, I need you to see this movie, it's called Fight Club.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_03: And I was 21.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, you gotta see you gotta see this this movie, Dad.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_03: It's really good.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_03: I go, there's philosophy in it, and it's it's kind of mind-bending, you know.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I I just really loved it.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: And so we're and I swear my hand to God, we're watching the the movie, and at the end of the movie, you know, he he resets everything.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: And uh uh he says, This is this is it, this is ground zero.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: And he's gonna say, I'm gonna turn the clock back on everything, and it's everybody's debts, he's gonna erase all this consumerism and everything.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: And so he does this, you know, the scene happens and the the buildings come down.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's controlled demolition.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: And so I just close the laptop and I go and turn on the television, CNN International, and the first plane had hit the World Trade Center, the first plane.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: And so we were just watching the smoke and it was billowing, and uh, you know, my dad and I are just looking at each other, I'm like, that's that's not an accident.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_03: And then all of a sudden we see the second one hit, and we just looked at each other, and I just knew whatever that was, that shift in the energy, and I don't I've always been able to pick up on stuff just subtly and not even maybe not even articulate it, but that shift happened, and I could just feel it.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_03: And I mean nothing was ever the same after that.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_03: We but it was it was like I'd close this chapter of my youth, whatever I whatever that was, which is very brief, by the way.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_03: And then, you know, nobody else on the American team that was represented, they're all from colleges and stuff, and I'm this paratrooper from Bragg, and uh nobody else had to face the consequences of that.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_03: But it was interesting because I happened to be in Bulgaria, and my unit that I was with, they all immediately deployed to the Pentagon.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, on another in another dimension, and it's funny because I I shouldn't that that national championship, it was a it was a near-run thing.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: Like uh, you know, I was still having to be a soldier and all that stuff.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: So it wasn't my training wasn't exactly great, but I still won.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_03: I inched it.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: I had to pull a deadlift and the other guy had to miss his.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: So it was like a just a chance thing.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_03: But the unit I was with, they immediately went to the Pentagon to secure it.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_03: So I would have been able to tell you, hey, there was no plane parts, or you know, just all the I mean, I that was close-up for you know, everything that was happening on that television would affect me directly.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_03: Like, so I ended up being part of the unit who actually went first into Afghanistan.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_03: So that was like the immediate orders, everything changed.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_03: I went back down to the line unit.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_03: But the dream I had last night was us going around Bulgaria trying to find uh my uh a belt for me to do deadlifts with.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_03: And uh what's funny is I saw this meme the other day, and it and it made me think it was like uh if if you notice in your dreams you never have your phone or you never look at your phone, and the phone's not in your dream.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: And I thought, wow, I can't remember a dream where my phone's in it.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_03: And this was the same thing for last night.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_03: And when I was when I was dreaming about uh me and dad in in Bulgaria, and um so anyway, I didn't have my phone.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I don't I don't think I got back to the competition.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I don't think I'd have done well against my you know 21-year-old self.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and there was a whole backstory to that on uh some politics with the uh with the World Power Lifting Federation and all the stuff with what they were trying to do back then.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: But interesting, interesting things to think about.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_03: That's just a stream of consciousness a little bit for you, and uh your prayers for my dad would be greatly appreciated.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_03: And uh I'm never it's funny, I'm I'm a junior and uh you never quite live up to your dad, you know.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that's why I went my own way.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: Because no, I I couldn't compete with him on uh not that you always got to compete with your dad, but you want to set it, he sets a standard, you gotta try to follow the standard.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_03: The guy was is uh just the hardest working person I've ever met in my life.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_03: And that's who I said.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I've been around the world and I've been in the military, and I've met, you know, crazy people who wanted to achieve their goals, but nothing quite like my dad.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's something next level, and you don't really quite reach that.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_03: So that's why I went in the military.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_03: I can't compete with him on the entrepreneurial stuff either.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it kind of seems like I do, right?
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_03: But no, no, no.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: No, this is something like it's another level of what he's able to achieve.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_03: And uh there's lots of stories.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: You know, we'll save him for another time to give you uh Tony's senior stories.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe we'll have him on sometime.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_03: There's stuff he doesn't like to talk about, but he he does like the show, so I'll just uh uh keep him in my prayers.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: We'll we'll get him on the show soon then.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_03: Uh let's jump into some headlines.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: First things first, and I I'll try to get to the comments today, folks.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_03: I really appreciate you.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I know that uh I jump around a lot on the show, but that's what it's kind of for.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_03: It's this hodgepodge of uh stream of consciousness, uh parapolitics, precious metals.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_03: Let's let's go to the first story.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, this is kind of the in the the vein of the end of something.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_03: Put this up on the screen.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_03: I saw that StreamYard updated and they allow you to do some more fancy stuff now, but uh I still haven't grasped that.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm still analog, folks, in the digital space.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_03: This is Bitcoin magazine.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_03: And no surprise here, Iran to accept Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz transit as ceasefire takes hold.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_03: Well, until the Israelis uh screw it up as always.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Iran plans to charge ships Bitcoin tolls to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, tying the crypto cryptocurrency to key global energy checkpoints.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: I got a text from my friend Charlie Robinson.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_03: He's like, hey, what about the petro Bitcoin?
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: I said, I think I think you're onto something, my friend.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_03: Iran plans to require shipping companies to pay transit tolls in Bitcoin for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormouth, according to the Financial Times report.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: This links Bitcoin to one of the world's most critical energy corridors and current events.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: The policy would apply to oil tankers seeking passage during a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_03: And uh this arrangement aims to reopen a route that handles a large share of global oil flows while allowing Tehran to maintain control over access.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_03: According to statements attributed to Iranian officials, shipping firms would receive a payment request prior to transit.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: Once approved, vessels would be given a short window to complete the transaction in Bitcoin.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: The structure reflects an attempt to bypass traditional financial rails that remain constrained by sanctions while preserving a mechanism for enforcement over passage.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_03: This move places uh Bitcoin at the center of a geopolitical flashpoint.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: And of course, it talks about Iran has faced restrictions on dollar-based settlements for years, limiting the ability to collect fees or process payments.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, uh this is a direct consequence of call it a control demolition, uh, call it an inside job, call it malice, call it stupidity.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, the result is the same.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_03: And you can choose, maybe it's a mixture of all of them, but we weaponized the dollar and it blew up in our face.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_03: We got arrogant and said, uh, you do what we say, or you can't use our currency anymore.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_03: Well, the reason that we were able to say, do what we say, the reason that we had the big stick was because we had the world's reserve currency, but you lose the world's reserve currency when people stop using it.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, again, call it what you want.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_03: Was James Forrestall right when he told Joe McCarthy that maybe they're uh he said if they're just stupid, then every once in a while they would err in our favor, but they never do.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_03: That's how you know it's a conspiracy.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_03: They never error in our favor, they never make a stupid decision that benefits us.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_03: It's just always this bloated, misinformed, or uh again, packed full of malice, stupidity, ridiculous decision when it comes from the governing mechanism of this country, whatever this is.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_03: But they blew it.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_03: I mean you think of this, uh you know, the dynamic of us and what's happening right now with with Israel, and if you look at the world stage, it's kind of like a family business where uh you you've got one of the little brothers or something, they went, they they got a fancy degree and uh they think they're really smart, or they are all wanting the attention, and they get to uh control what all the the company does, right?
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_03: Where all the resources go.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_03: And I've seen this before in family businesses.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_03: And then you know, you have the older people going, wait a minute, don't do that.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_03: We we're wasting all these resources.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_03: We could have built this, we could do this, we got uh all these ideas.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_03: Why are you wasting it on all this this project that is just a a black hole?
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: You know, what do you got to say?
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: Sunk cost fallacy, that's what this is.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: And it's beyond that.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's a there's a darkness in what you know the dispensationalists and the end of the worlders and the you know the the end time industrial complex people like they want to bring in the AI antichrist and summon Mashiach, and then all of a sudden they oh well maybe Jesus will come back, and if not, we'll at least have the the Antichrist AI surveillance control grid out of the third temple.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they're nuts, right?
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: And that's what they're spending money on.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_03: We blew it.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_03: Like think, think of everything we could have built.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: Think of the the the once in multi-generational chance we had to do that, and it's just obliterated.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, does God forgive?
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, God forgives you, but I mean, history won't.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_03: Literally blew it.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_03: Like you think of all the deals around the world we could be doing right now.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: Think of the supply chains, think of the infrastructure, think of think of the wealth we could could create.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: We could shock the system.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: We could literally change the world, and instead, we have this.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_03: You know, we have uh the absolutely insane people.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_03: You have the the technocracy, you have the the Christian Zionists, you have the actual Zionists, you have the military-industrial complex people who have something wrong with them.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they they just love war so much.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_03: They all they know how to do is destroy.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_03: And I think it maybe it's some Freudian thing about sexual intimacy or impotency or whatever it is.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_03: Like they can't make anything.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_03: So they just have to destroy.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_03: Like, it's like if it's like the a school shooter.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_03: Like, we have school shooters now that run everything, like just kids that it would that didn't get along, or they were too weak of an a bitch to like actually make any friends.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_03: So they just got to take it out on everybody who was able to do that.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I think, right?
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_03: Is it is it as simple as we have a school shooter ruling class?
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_03: Is that what we have?
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_03: They just ruined everything.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_03: Me and the and 10 random people from the phone book could run a better economy.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_03: Random people, just pick them out random, you know.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_03: It doesn't even matter, like the last names, just pick them out.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_03: We could sit around at a table and go, hey, how you know we make some more uh prosperity and how do we create incentives for people to go out and buy things and build things?
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_03: And oh, I have some ideas.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, ideas, that'd be great.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_03: And you can create because average people can't.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_03: That's what the ruling class can't do.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that's why they hoard all this stuff, right?
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's like my conversation I had with David Icke.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, what is gold?
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_03: You can go check it in the interview because we have that's the question I asked him at the end.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_03: And it's an energy, so it it's there's something about it.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_03: We we collect it, and and that's what it doesn't mean that you have to worship it or that you shouldn't covet in wealth at all.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_03: Uh should covet character, you should covet results.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, but that's why the these they have these storage houses and they just keep hoarding stuff, and whether it's assets or gold or markets or whatever, they can't make anything.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_03: They can't really make stuff.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_03: They just know how to get you get separate what you've done and your energy away from you.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_03: And that's why we have the world that we have today.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_03: Think of how unimaginative the people at the top are.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, all they can think about is how do we control people?
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_03: How do we put them in an AI grid?
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_03: How do we how do we monitor everything they do?
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_03: How do we put shots and genetic code injections in them?
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they don't.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_03: Have you have you wondered that?
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_03: How do we get less people?
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they don't want to be creative, you don't want to make anything, you don't want to create a solution like the like or for water, for example.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_03: Like, oh well, you want to have some desalinization technology, really ramp that up so the world doesn't have to go without fresh drinking water.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: Oh no, let's bomb Iran.
• 26:08
  unknown: Oh, okay.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_03: And we'll get uh Pete Heggseth involved, you know.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_03: This is the best we can do, I guess.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: All right, so uh second part of the financial news talk about the end of something.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_03: Let me put this up on this is natural news.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: All right, one second.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_03: Laptops always fun to work off of.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_03: I say that facetiously, but it still works.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_03: This is natural news.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: France completes withdrawal of gold holdings from New York Federal Reserve.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_03: Where have I seen this before?
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Sterling Ashworth wrote this article.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_03: France completes withdrawal of gold holdings from New York Federal Reserve.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_03: The French Treasury has confirmed the completion of a multi-year operation to repatriate all of its gold reserves held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_03: The move, finalized in the first quarter of 2026, marks the end of France's long-standing practice of storing a portion of its southern wealth offshore.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_03: According to an official statement, the transaction was part of a long-planned strategic decision for asset management.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_03: Analysts described the action as part of a broader accelerating trend among national central banks to move physical gold back to its domestic soil.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_03: Well, just a break here in the article.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_03: 1967, the president of France, de Gaulle, if you know anything about Charles de Gaulle, he sent over his warships to pick it up.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_03: This is before we went off the gold standard.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_03: And the reason is because, well, one, we've broken the Breton Woods Agreement, 1944, the new economic world order, the IMF, the World Bank, the dollar is the world's reserve currency, gold at$35 an ounce.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_03: All that sounded good, right?
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: This was the new, but the problem is we had to expand the state.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_03: We had to prop up the empire.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_03: We we had an ever-expanding empire.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_03: You had the Cold War, you had the space race or whatever.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_03: You had to you had to fund weird projects like you know, taking out a president in at Dealy Plaza.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you gotta be able to cover that up, too.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_03: That costs money.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you gotta find a patsy, you gotta get rid of that patsy, you gotta get rid of the guy who got rid of the patsy.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it just costs that up, folks.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_03: And then you take out the silver out of the coins and people take notice.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_03: So we took the silver out of the coins, and that's how you know, clipping coins, uh, debasing currency.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's the a tale as old as time.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_03: That's what empires do.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's what you know, the zenith, the apex, you've got the all the you gotta control all your subjects and all of your realm, and they all want something, and then, you know, you're too busy to think things through.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_03: Then you got the same kind of people rise to the top.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_03: That that is the that is kind of the conundrum, isn't it?
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_03: Like you get uh you amass this this empire and it attracts all the sociopaths and narcissists, it attracts all of the people who can't create.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_03: They just know how to destroy people.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_03: They can Machiavelli, they can backbiter, you know, they can maneuver their way in.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_03: You know, they can tell people what they want to hear.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of like Lindsey Graham, you know.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_03: He can tell you what you if you go to Disneyland with them or Disney World, he'll tell you what you want to hear.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_03: He can yeah, hand you uh the princess wand and I should I should probably stop.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_03: He can tell you his safe word, which I think is APAC.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_03: But that's uh the tale as old as time, isn't it?
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_03: We uh we took part in that.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_03: It's funny, I keep getting notices too.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_03: The laptop's fun.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_03: You put the anti-virus software on it.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's gives me every article.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_03: It's just 500 different warnings.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_03: But uh yeah, thanks for that.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_03: Official confirmations and transaction details of the Bank of France issued a detailed statement last week confirming the transfer's completion.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_03: No specific dollar amount of the transferred gold was disclosed in the initial public announcement.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: However, subsequent reports indicate the bank uh realized a capital gain of approximately 12.8 billion.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_03: Well, this has been a trend for many years.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_03: And if you go back, just to give you a little bit of insight, uh, if you go back to 2009 and look at the charts, and uh yours truly has.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_03: Prior to that, the central bank gold buying, like gold accumulation, was uh it wasn't zero, but it was damn close.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so prior to 2009, people just bought, you know, countries use treasuries.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_03: Um, by the way, uh just a just a side note before I forget it, uh, gold surpassed treasuries too.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_03: Not just the dollar, but it surpassed treasury holdings uh last week for held reserve assets by central banks.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that's see, that's that's part of the the decline.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's part of the disintegration of the current monetary order that you should pay attention to.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_03: And it's beyond the Iran war or you know, uh our war for Israel or whatever the hell this is.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's beyond any of that.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_03: Like this is and it probably has something to do with it.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_03: You would probably you would be right in asking, well, how does this help?
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_03: I I agree with that.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_03: But but you have um you have the end of the petrodollar, the treasuries surpassed uh or gold surpassed treasuries.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_03: So all of this is happening.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: If you go back to 2009, that was the first time that the uptick happened.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_03: Like so after 2009, countries started buying gold.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I mean physical gold, not contracts.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_03: And this started to accelerate, accelerate, accelerate after we did the bailouts and everything happened with the the great financial uh recession uh back in 2009.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_03: So interesting to watch that progression if you go back and look at the charts, folks.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: It is an interesting part of history.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_03: And now it's gold all the way.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_03: And more of this repatriation will happen.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_03: France's completed withdrawal highlights an ongoing uh global debate about monetary sovereignty and the foundational role of physical assets in the digital aids.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_03: Experts predict that more nations may review their offshore gold holdings in the coming years, especially as geopolitical tensions and concerns over currency stability persist.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_03: The long-term impact of international gold custody arrangements, particularly the role of the New York Fed as the global depository, remains to be seen.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, folks, uh also you have the uh Shanghai gold exchange that's being constructed, along with storage facilities for physical gold.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_03: Uh you have the Hong Kong gold exchange uh for physical gold.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_03: So China, two of those realms, the gold moving east, all of that stuff, that needs to be paid attention to.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_03: This is part of the breakaway from the dollar system that we have accelerated.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_03: Like there was no need to be on this timeline unless it's part of uh again on purpose.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_03: Like what the only way to get here is to be this stupid on purpose.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like you, I mean, there's no upside for what we're how we're handling ourselves in the world.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_03: We could have just done deals.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_03: We could have figured out ways to open supply chains, we could have figured out a way to enrich the American people.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's kind of like the the head fake of what Doge was supposed to be.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like, let's just look at every transaction.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: You don't think I do that?
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_03: Um if you're running something, don't you have to look at every single thing?
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_03: What is the what's the expense here?
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_03: What's the overage here?
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_03: What do I need to take care of?
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_03: Any sane entity does that, right?
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: Except if you can just print it, which is what they're gonna do.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_03: Like if you've got control, if you've got a counterfeit printing press that you control the law and you're the chief law enforcement officer, I guess you can just use the printing press, and that's what they're going to do.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_03: So you don't have to be a genius to figure out that things like gold, silver, bitcoin, you know, GSB.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_03: GSB's gonna do fine.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's uh it's competing against infinite.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: What is what does limited against infinite do?
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_03: What is where does that battle end up in an economic sense?
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_03: Which one is worth more?
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_03: Infinite or limited?
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you again, you don't have to be like, wow, you know, Tony, so that's very smart, it's very astute.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you you can just basic math this thing.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: It's not it's not a revelation.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: And it's gonna be weird, you know, like you go look at uh articles, and I've been tracking this.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of people are stuck in in uh a broken paradigm because they're talking about, well, this is like the 70s.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's not.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's not like anytime.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it took us 200 years to go a trillion dollars in debt.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_03: And now we do it every 90 days.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_03: Hell, we'll do it every 30 days soon.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_03: Is anybody even watching the thing anymore?
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_03: Like we used to talk about that.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_03: We used to talk about fiscal responsibility, we used to talk about the deficit.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody talks about that anymore except gold bugs.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_03: Both parties agree war is good.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_03: Welfare state is good.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_03: Let's open up our borders.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, yeah, we'll have the we'll try to do some things to divide the country, like do ice raids in Minnesota.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_03: You know, we'll try to do that.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_03: We'll make sure we piss off everybody, keep them at each other's throats.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_03: We're not gonna actually do anything about the border, though.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I you know, you you still think those fatigued cartel members are I've seen video of them.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_03: You know, just think that those are still snaking around the border down there, moving large supply.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_03: Of course they are.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_03: We've done nothing about that.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_03: We've done everything to inflame the populace.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_03: Arrest some grandmas and stuff, you know.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_03: There's some hardcore people that are here in this country, and the people that move back and forth, you know, and that's what that's what our answer was.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_03: So again, you know, I this is where my mind goes, we have blew it in so many ways, right?
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_03: Uh took our eye off the ball.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_03: We're losing dollar supremacy, we're losing everything when it meant to be a country and we're doing it uh for what's the cost of this war going to be?
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think we've even seen the beginning of it.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to go to the comments really quick, make sure I talk to people because that's something I haven't done in a while.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think we went to the comments last week, but I appreciate you being here.
• 37:56

• 39:47
  SPEAKER_03: That's the first thing.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_03: I thought when they're like, oh, there's missiles headed towards Tel Aviv.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, they just fired on themselves.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_03: That's that's my trust level of this foreign nation state that for some reason just keeps showing up in my politics.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: Like, you just would you get out of my politics?
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_03: And this is not, you're not.

  SPEAKER_03: There's an article I need to get to on antiwar.com that uh it is getting to the point where it you just you can't even have tolerance, like the tolerance you have level I have for this like horseshit is just zero.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, I can't believe we're doing this.
