🚨BREAKING🚨 NEW Legislation's IMPACT on YOUR SILVER & GOLD · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

0:00
There's nothing stopping you from starting a movement in your
0:03
state to get gold and silver as legal tender.
0:05
Nothing. You can take our bill right from
0:10
our website, mofree.org. Literally download it.
0:14
Send it to your representative or your senator.
0:16
We're talking state representative and state
0:19
senator. Don't go to DC with us because
0:22
they don't want it. By the way, you can send it to
0:24
your state senator. Your state Rep and other people
0:29
in your state should be doing the same thing.
0:31
The Founding Fathers wrote Silver and Gold into the United
0:35
States Constitution for a reason.
0:38
Now we have a growing number of states in the United States
0:41
moving towards new legal tender legislation, including my home
0:46
state, Missouri. And there's no one who knows
0:49
more about this subject than a channel friend, Mr. Pat Holland.
0:53
He's going to bring us up to speed.
0:56
What we have to expect for the year 2024, Pat, welcome back to
1:00
Rons Basement. Hey there, Ron.
1:02
Thank you for having me back. Red shirt Solidarity going on
1:05
here. And we have a mission.
1:15
In 2024, again throughout the country, but specifically here
1:20
in Missouri, you've been working hard with with this new
1:24
legislation supporting it, your organization supporting it, the
1:27
Missouri Freedom Initiative. What's the latest on what's
1:31
going on with with legal tender legislation in Missouri?
1:35
OK, thank you for that. Everyone remembers SB-100,
1:39
Senate Bill 100. It it's a nice round Number, but
1:43
that was the legislation for 2023 that was stopped at the
1:48
finish line by House Speaker Dean Plocker in the state of
1:52
Missouri. Single handedly.
1:53
He decided we weren't going to have it.
1:56
So one man in the House of Representatives determined for
1:59
the entire state of Missouri that we couldn't have silver and
2:01
gold legislation. OK.
2:03
So this year, and I'm sorry, I keep saying this year, I'm, I
2:07
mean, 2024 Senator Eagle has put out a new bill.
2:12
It doesn't have a number yet, but it's going to be something
2:14
like SB-745 or something or something like that.
2:18
It's available right now to view on our website
2:21
andthats@mowfree.org. It's on the front page.
2:24
You can't miss it. It's like 14 pages long.
2:27
I know it's a long bell, I get that.
2:30
But you have to put in what's called some of the uniform code
2:33
when you're actually changing something to do with the
2:36
monetary system. So a lot of that is just how you
2:40
get rid of capital gains tax and you know for silver and gold in
2:43
the state of Missouri. But the point is it's out, you
2:46
can read it and this is the bill, it's that's actually going
2:50
to be submitted and pre filed on December 1st in the state of
2:53
Missouri. Pre filed because I don't think
2:56
the legislative session begins until like January 4th or
2:59
something like that. OK.
3:01
So this everything you guys remember about what we did in
3:05
2023, we're doing again in 2024. We have the momentum.
3:10
It was a very popular bill except with Democrats.
3:14
Democrats were too concerned with Nazi Gold, Confederate
3:18
Gold, and MAGA Gold making its way into the state of Missouri
3:21
and going into circulation. They said that on the House
3:24
floor. By the way, I have a video about
3:26
that and something called Zombie Apocalypse Silver Ron.
3:31
They were very concerned about that getting into circulation in
3:34
the state of Missouri. So we hope we can allay their
3:36
fears and let them know that that this is all figments of
3:39
their imagination and the Democrats don't need to worry
3:42
about this being a problem. But the legislation is available
3:47
to view MO free.org and I'll talk a little bit more if you
3:51
don't mind that it's not just Missouri doing this, other
3:55
states are stepping up. I happen to know for a fact
3:59
right now New Hampshire and Florida have very powerful
4:03
bills. There's pre filing as well and
4:07
Yep, so that's and by the way I do know that Tennessee is doing
4:12
something as well and that's just because you know what we
4:15
do. So I do hear things what we do.
4:18
What I said by when I meant by that as you know we were very
4:20
involved in the national movement in 2023 partially
4:26
because of Ron's basement by the way.
4:29
But there is another organization that's getting very
4:31
much involved called Citizens for Sound Money.
4:35
Now, I'm not 100% sure exactly how they're going to go about
4:39
it, but they're an outfit that is looking at the national scene
4:43
as well. So it's something that that we
4:47
will announce officially when we're ready for it, a
4:50
partnership with them. But the Missouri Freedom
4:52
Initiative is going to be concentrating very heavily on
4:55
getting the legislation done in the state of Missouri because
4:59
that's where we live. That's where you live too Ron.
5:02
So the Missouri Freedom Initiative wants gold and silver
5:06
as legal tender and is. So we're going to keep pushing
5:09
it. And once again, this is very
5:11
important for people to understand that are watching
5:13
this that are plugged into Missouri politics.
5:16
This was very popular in our legislature.
5:20
It was popular in the Senate, It was popular in the House.
5:23
It went through the Senate, You know, it was approved.
5:26
It went to the House, went through.
5:28
We had to fight for every inch of it.
5:30
Every inch of it we had to fight for, even though it's
5:33
constitutional. You mentioned that at the
5:34
beginning of this video, Article One, Section 10 of the Missouri
5:38
or of the US Constitution. We have gold and silver as
5:41
money. We don't have dollars listed
5:45
there. We don't have, you know, credit
5:47
cards listed in the Constitution.
5:50
You know, we all there is is gold and silver coin.
5:53
That's it. So.
5:55
And and and and and and. Just like, you know.
5:59
The the Founding Fathers granted us, you know, powers of free
6:02
speech, right to bear arms. There's a reason why they put
6:05
gold and silver in there. You know, I mean, they they
6:07
were, they were forward-looking and and they wanted the nation
6:12
to have that right. And it feels like now state by
6:17
state throughout the country, we're seeing this movement for
6:20
states, you know, saying hey, wait, you know, you won't.
6:23
You're not going to do it on a federal level, but on a state
6:25
level. We can't allow our citizens
6:28
their right to reclaim what's you know, should have been
6:31
theirs all on this right to use silver and gold as as legal
6:34
tender. That's right.
6:36
And legislative and and by the way, I've been hit with all of
6:40
the, the the naysay reasons why we don't have to do this.
6:46
We can just use gold and silver as money right now, can't we,
6:48
Ron? If you and I want to do a
6:50
transaction, let's just say you know the gold bear.
6:54
I decided, hey, I'm going to buy the gold bear from you Ron.
6:57
And you say. Let, let let's talk.
6:59
Yeah, let's talk. You know, you know how much do
7:02
you have Pat. And so I say, well I'll tell you
7:04
what for the gold bear, I'll give you 10 ounces of silver,
7:09
you and I can make that transaction.
7:12
There's nothing stopping us, however, when a state
7:17
government, in our case Missouri, accepts gold and
7:21
silver for payment of taxes, or at least they say they do on
7:24
paper, that really sets a brand new parameter and sets a brand
7:29
new tone for what is money for businesses.
7:34
Now when I buy that gold bear from you, that's not, you know,
7:37
Ron Inc, you know, purchase you know, from Ron Inc That's just
7:42
from Ron. But if you were a business and
7:45
you were selling, you know, gold bears with blindfolds, you know,
7:49
actually selling them that, you know bears that size and you
7:53
have a whole business doing it, you'd be much more likely to
7:56
take silver and gold for, you know, basically for business
8:00
transactions if the state is accepting it in the form of
8:04
payment of taxes. This is the magic here.
8:07
And once again, we have competition, Ron.
8:10
We have competition. And our good friend Jay Powell
8:15
is the competition. He wants to go to the digital
8:17
dollar. He wants businesses to use a
8:20
digital dollar. How do we know this?
8:22
Because of the Fed Now program, which basically is with banks
8:26
that are tied to the Federal Reserve, they're incentivizing
8:29
businesses to stop using cash, stop, you know, using cash.
8:34
That's the main goal of the Fed Now program.
8:36
Now it's a very elaborate program.
8:37
It's got a lot of whistles and bells, right, but that's the end
8:42
game for the Fed now program is to get everyone off of cash
8:46
completely and go completely digital.
8:49
Then they can go to the digital dollar.
8:52
We have competition and it's, it's tough competition.
8:55
That's a Federal Reserve. They want a digital dollar so we
8:59
can go to social credit scoring. ESGESG is coming regardless.
9:03
I'm very sorry about that. I don't know the governing
9:07
source on ESGI think. It's the World Economic Forum.
9:10
It has nothing to do with the Federal Reserve.
9:12
It has nothing to do with the United States government.
9:15
This is a group of unelected bureaucrats that are determining
9:19
how businesses should operate in in increasing their costs to
9:25
comply with their WEIRD platform.
9:27
If you're looking to buy gold, silver, or platinum, do yourself
9:31
a favor and check out Pimbex, the online precious metals
9:35
bullion dealer and sponsor of Ron's Basement.
9:39
I was a happy customer before they offered to support the
9:42
channel. You'll find they have the best
9:44
prices, quality, and service. I think Pimbex is best and you
9:49
will too. And be sure to tell him that
9:52
you're from Ron's basement. ESG, Environmental, Social
9:55
governance. So that's what you get with
9:58
digital currency. That's what you get with the
10:00
digital dollar. That's what you get with digital
10:02
wallets, face scanning technology, digital IDs where
10:07
your phone, your phone, because it becomes your entire and
10:11
identity, you have to have a smartphone.
10:15
In fact, I don't want to say this yet, but we have to
10:18
strongly consider getting rid of our smartphones gang.
10:21
Just get rid of them. Because actually that's the tech
10:23
that they will use to actually in, you know, put in a digital
10:27
currency. Social Credit scoring, ESG,
10:31
digital wallets, facial scanning.
10:34
Can you walk into this business, Ron?
10:37
Well, there's a camera right outside the door of the
10:39
business, and it's going to, you know, do a scan of your face and
10:43
determine through your Social Credit score whether or not
10:46
you've been a good enough boy to go into this grocery store.
10:48
Right. That's what they're doing in
10:50
China. So this isn't as far away as
10:54
people think. They've started this process in
10:56
China. It's been reported on months
10:58
ago. So this is so gold.
11:02
And silver is freedom. It's liberty.
11:05
It's what the founding fathers even said we should do.
11:08
And that was based on rarity. Gold and silver were rare.
11:12
Therefore, rare equals, you know, some kind of value plus
11:16
gold was you don't want it at the time for, you know, all
11:19
sorts of different purposes, but mainly to collect, you know,
11:24
basically to store and collect and make little statues out of,
11:27
you know, gold. It just doesn't corrode.
11:29
That's one of the beautiful things about gold.
11:32
So but any rate, that's not necessarily true of silver, but
11:37
the founding fathers didn't know the importance of silver in
11:39
industry and and so silver I think is going to go up in value
11:43
because of this. Go ahead.
11:45
Well, it it feels like silver and gold could, could could soon
11:49
become the last safe harbor or bastion of of privacy for people
11:58
when it comes to financial transactions.
12:00
And I want to throw in with the Fed Now program, and I'm not an
12:03
expert on it, but it feels like to me, and I've heard other
12:06
pundits say this, that it's kind of like the infrastructure into
12:11
which they can plug in. CBDC and things like that.
12:16
The analogy the analogy that I used to be like if if if you and
12:19
I live on the outskirts of a large metropolitan area.
12:24
You and I are next door neighbors and and we both had
12:27
had paid to have wells dug in our yard because we wanted it to
12:31
have, we wanted to have our own supply of water, right?
12:34
We wanted our own private supply of water.
12:37
And as the city grows, where you and I are sitting out in the
12:40
front yard chatting one night and the construction crew shows
12:43
up, starts digging through our yards, and we say, what are you
12:45
guys doing this? Well, we're laying, we're laying
12:48
the new water mains. And we're like, well, wait a
12:50
minute, we didn't know about this.
12:52
Like they're they'll say no, don't worry about it, you know,
12:54
it's just a water main, don't you know, no big deal.
12:57
And then, you know a year or two later we get a letter in the
13:01
mail saying it's now because I where I live in Saint Louis
13:03
County, I think it's illegal to have a a well in my yard.
13:06
We get a letter from the government saying you need, you
13:09
are now legally required to connect to the water main.
13:13
Does that? Is that a good analogy?
13:15
Yep. I've seen this happen in small
13:17
towns with these small towns where they had wells and you
13:21
know, septic tanks, you know, they they would hook him up to,
13:24
you know, city sewer and city water.
13:27
Totally unnecessary. I meant there was no need for
13:29
it, but they did pay an awful lot of money to do it.
13:33
You know, I I can remember the the the town my grandmother
13:37
lived in in Willow River, MN. I think it was $18,000 to hook
13:43
up and that was some 10-15 years ago maybe maybe a little bit
13:47
longer than that but 15 grand and and of course it went right
13:51
to the, you know, the city who is paying the construction and
13:54
for digging, you know, for laying all these pipes and
13:57
everything. But you're right.
13:59
You know this is something that I think a lot of people have to
14:03
deal with at this point. I am on a well by the way.
14:07
You know I'm out in the in the county.
14:09
You know I'm I'm not in a you know I'm in Clever MO.
14:13
But I'm actually 4 miles outside of the city limits.
14:16
I'm in the school district and so at any rate it would take an
14:21
enormous amount of infrastructure to deliver city
14:25
water to to me out here. But you're right.
14:28
I mean, these are things that and it's like the.
14:30
Infrastructure is put in place with Fed now and then at some
14:34
point you know if you want to go.
14:37
To the grocery store or you want to go to the gas station, or if
14:41
you want to fly on an airplane, you know you need to be, you
14:45
know, connected through social credit scoring and through CBDC.
14:51
You know, you're going to have to be part of the system.
14:56
Like it or not, your analogy was perfect, and I'm sorry I didn't
14:59
finish. You know, taking the analogy
15:01
into Fed. Now water is crucial for life,
15:05
but so is actually going to the store and buying food.
15:09
You know these are the the basically your analogy was
15:13
perfect for this because the Fed now program takes us to central
15:19
bank digital currency. I say digital dollar all the
15:21
time. That's what I mean when I say
15:23
digital dollar by the way, central bank digital currency.
15:26
But the whole point is to totally, totally control your
15:30
behavior, you know, and and then also make sure that you are
15:35
publicly shunned if you are critical of the government by
15:38
literally not letting you do anything in society.
15:42
And and by the way, that's another thing too.
15:44
In China, they actually have a program.
15:46
You have to it's all based on cell phone tech and we're
15:49
talking smartphones. So you're on your phone, you're
15:52
walking around, you're down in Shanghai, you know, like you
15:55
often do you know Ron and and so you've got this app on your
15:59
phone and it lets you know within with your within like 100
16:03
meters of someone with a bad social credit score and it gives
16:07
you like 5 minutes to get away from that bad scoring person who
16:13
is running around Shanghai. You have no clue who that person
16:16
is. Shanghai is quite crowded, by
16:18
the way. You have no idea who that is.
16:21
All you know is you got this like this red, you know, dot
16:25
beeping on your, you know, blinking on your phone and you
16:28
got to get away from that because that's someone with a
16:31
bad social credit score, you know.
16:34
And so that's what the Chinese government is doing.
16:37
Communism is basically becoming self governance by where you can
16:42
spend your money, what you can do, where you can travel.
16:46
And so that's what they've moved.
16:48
They've moved to technology to keep communism, you know, and
16:52
and not just communism, but a total complete evisceration of
16:57
any human rights whatsoever. Yeah, And I'm Pat.
17:01
I'm thinking maybe those red dots, hopefully those aren't the
17:04
guys that are wearing the red shirts, right?
17:06
Yeah, no, I I don't think they are.
17:08
I don't think. They weren't saying that, Were
17:10
you? Yeah, Red's associated with
17:12
communism, too. You just made me think of that.
17:14
So Republican Party, you know, apparently is communist because
17:18
they're red in color, you know, And the Democrats, of course,
17:22
are blue. But all joking aside, I love
17:26
your analogy of water. Get on the city system or don't
17:31
have water. It's your choice.
17:33
You know, they say it's a choice, right?
17:35
You can't run your well anymore. So, OK, you stop using your well
17:41
and you have a choice whether or not to pay that $15,000 and get
17:44
on the city well or the city water system.
17:47
That's not a choice, that's a lack of options, is what that
17:51
is. Now you make perfect sense.
17:53
I I agree with you a hundred 100%.
17:56
So, so maybe the well can be you know our in our minds silver and
18:02
gold right. Our ability to ability to
18:04
provide for ourselves, ability to be self-sufficient and and
18:09
get our water the way that we the way that we see fit and then
18:13
the septic tank or the sewer can be CDB CS.
18:18
So we're just drawing analogies here.
18:20
First, Mining Gold is a development company advancing 2.
18:23
Of the largest gold projects. In Canada, Spring Pole in
18:27
Ontario and Duparque, located in Quebec, each already has 5
18:32
million ounces of gold reserves, but exploration initiatives are
18:37
underway at both projects to find even more gold.
18:41
First, mining is well financed, has zero debt and owns an
18:45
interest in four additional Canadian Gold development
18:49
projects. So taking all this into account,
18:52
your state now Ron and I are in Missouri, we share a state, we
18:57
we share invisible lines that say that we are in the state of
19:00
Missouri. If your state is not going
19:03
forward with gold and silver legislation, there is absolutely
19:07
nothing stopping you from making it happen in your state.
19:12
Now people think, oh, Pat's, you know, politically tied in Pat's,
19:17
you know, somehow, you know, you know, can get these things done.
19:20
Guys, I'm a computer technician. That's what I do for a living.
19:24
I'm an IT guy and have my own business is nothing to do with
19:31
me being tied in with politicians or politics or Jeff
19:34
City. In fact, a lot of people up
19:35
there don't like me. A lot of people up there love me
19:38
though, which is really cool. I think I'm a likable guy.
19:40
I think I'm friendly, definitely.
19:43
But nothing is stopping you. I mean, if if you work at a
19:47
convenience store, there's nothing stopping you from
19:50
starting a movement in your state to get gold and silver as
19:53
legal tender. Nothing.
19:56
You can take our bill right from our website, mofree.org.
20:01
Literally download it, send it to your representative or your
20:05
senator. We're talking state
20:07
representative and state senator.
20:08
Don't go to DC with us because they don't want it.
20:12
By the way, you can send it to your state senator.
20:14
Your state Rep and other people in your state should be doing
20:19
the same thing. The more people that do that in
20:21
your state, the more likely it is you will have that bill.
20:24
And once that bill's in, support it.
20:27
Through people like Ron's basement, we made quite an
20:31
impact in 2023 and other channels will probably step in
20:36
this year. Ron, you had the singular
20:39
distinction of being like the only channel to be reporting on
20:43
state news in 2023. It was just you.
20:47
And believe me, we reached out to a lot.
20:48
No, there was one more. I can't remember the guy that
20:52
did a video, Sal. That's right, salivate metal.
20:55
Thank you. Yep.
20:57
So he did help, but I mean consistently.
21:01
I mean, you put out video after video covering the States and
21:04
hopefully our friends at the Silver Deejan Club are going to
21:07
do the same thing. I've talked to them recently and
21:10
a big shout out to everyone in the Silver Deejan Club in that
21:14
network because I think they're part of the solution here.
21:19
Equally, like I said, there might be an announcement
21:22
sometime in the near future for Citizens for Sound Money because
21:25
they're getting involved and we need more people involved.
21:29
But Ron, I'll never forget this and I hope your audience doesn't
21:33
either. It started with you and it's
21:35
because Wall Street Silver. I hate to bring this up again,
21:39
but I know Wall Street Silver is under new management now.
21:42
But December and January? December of 2022?
21:46
January of 2023. Wall Street Silver was not
21:49
interested in covering this at all.
21:52
No at all. And they were and they were
21:54
under different management at that time, I think they were.
21:57
I think the new, the new guys in charge there would be very
22:02
receptive and and I want to throw in, yes, I may have been
22:05
the first YouTube concert, but. Really, Pat, you started it.
22:09
You reached out to me and and and I want to point out to
22:13
everyone who's watching right now that Pat works tirelessly on
22:18
these initiatives, right. And and he is not positioned
22:22
himself and he's not doing that because of motivation to make
22:27
money that you're doing this because of of what you believe
22:30
in and that you're not profiting from this financially in in any
22:36
way. Yeah, I'm one of those strange
22:39
guys. Were my treasures in heaven.
22:41
So. So that's what I believe.
22:43
But guys, I'm telling you don't do this for money because
22:47
actually you won't be able to get anything done.
22:49
But the fact of the matter is what we're fighting here is an
22:52
honest to God burgeoning tyranny.
22:56
It's coming folks in the way they will control everyone is
22:59
CDB CS. You have to have a second option
23:03
in your state. This is critical.
23:06
And you know, once again, look no further than China.
23:10
Look at what they're doing. That's the model for the entire
23:14
world. This is important.
23:17
It's important for your freedom. And if you won't do it for
23:19
yourself because you're like, oh, I'm 60 years old.
23:22
I don't have that many years left.
23:24
Think about your kids and and in your progeny, you know the
23:29
generations that will come after you that have lost freedom
23:31
because of inaction. Today, this is critical and I
23:36
want to give a big shout out and a hello to Senator Bill Eagle
23:39
for sponsoring silver and gold legislation in in the state of
23:43
Missouri. And I know that there's going to
23:45
be House members sponsoring in 2024 as well.
23:48
But the fact of the matter is Bill has been on the forefront
23:51
of this issue in Missouri, started this movement, this big
23:55
nationwide movement in 2023 and he's an incredible man.
23:59
I, you know, I I'm just very grateful that he's given us a
24:03
piece of legislation that we could grab onto and push and get
24:08
people involved at the state level and in in your state.
24:12
It doesn't matter what state you're in.
24:13
If you're in a blue state or RedState, it doesn't matter.
24:16
Gold and silver legislation is about having another option
24:19
because the option, the only option.
24:22
Remember we talked about a lack of choices, a lack of options.
24:27
That's what's coming your way if you don't fight for gold and
24:29
silver legislation in your state.
24:31
And I'm not trying to shame people into doing this, but
24:34
please don't do echo chambers if that's what you're going to do.
24:37
Don't even bother. You have to actually pick up the
24:40
phone and call up a representative or a senator.
24:43
You have to e-mail them. And.
24:45
And what is really, really effective, gang, and I know this
24:48
from personal experience, what's really effective is making that
24:52
visit to the Capitol and talking to them personally in their
24:55
offices. That is the most potent,
24:58
powerful thing you can do for silver and gold legislation,
25:00
guaranteed. Phone calls and emails do help
25:03
though. And I and I have this dream that
25:06
at some point I'm going to be at the Missouri State Capitol and
25:09
I'm going to have the Gold Bear with me.
25:10
I'm going to be pushing them around in a wheelchair to make
25:13
them to drive that point home. And I'm going to make a whole
25:16
video about it. Well, Ron, you know, you know,
25:19
on January 9th, we have our big knock in shock.
25:23
We have a scheduled date at the Capitol.
25:25
I would love to have you join us if your schedule allows for it.
25:29
Well, well, I'll, I'll see what I can do.
25:31
Can I bring the bear or would that cause too much commotion?
25:34
Nope. That actually I'll make sure
25:37
that you get, You can bring the bear in.
25:40
He's going to ride in the passenger seat of the car with
25:42
me to Jeff City but then I'm going to need a wheelchair to
25:45
push him around because I'm not carrying that guy around all
25:47
day. You know, that's good because
25:48
that's like a two hour drive for you.
25:50
That way you have someone to talk with to keep you awake on
25:52
the drive there and the drive back.
25:55
But but no, I would love if you would join us sometime but
25:59
please keep in mind if you're in the state of Missouri, January
26:02
9th, The Capitol in Missouri, The Capitol building, knock in
26:06
shock. Silver and Gold Day in the
26:09
Capitol. We're trying to get as many
26:11
people there as humanly possible.
26:13
Please join us if you don't know what to do.
26:17
If you don't know what to say, that's fine.
26:20
Just be a part of the crowd and watch and learn.
26:23
Get Show that show. That you support silver and gold
26:26
legislation. I think it's, you know you you
26:28
talked about needing an option, right, as we move into this new,
26:33
you know, digital CBDC type environment.
26:37
And and you know, and and I and I speak the same way, but we're
26:41
not really talking about an option.
26:44
What we're talking about is going back to what's always been
26:48
true, and that's that silver and gold are real money, not, you
26:51
know, before the formation of the United States, silver and
26:54
gold have been real money. And the Founding Fathers knew
26:58
that silver and gold are real money and allow people to
27:01
maintain their freedoms and their liberties.
27:04
And and now as we move into this environment, what we need to I
27:08
guess really make sure is and I like to use the word reclaim
27:12
either reclaim or maintain our ability to have that silver and
27:18
gold to help us. You know, have our, our
27:21
financial privacy and our and our ability to to to maintain,
27:25
you know, preserve wealth as as we as we see fit.
27:29
That's right. And once again, I'm going to
27:31
have to point out by the way, I'll, you know, accent that in a
27:34
second here. But the fact is a dystopian
27:37
future awaits us. The second biggest economy in
27:40
the world, China, has gone to this dystopian futuristic model
27:44
where, you know, basically your cell phone is your whole life,
27:47
your digital ID is on your cell phone, your digital wallet is on
27:51
your cell phone. You're using you know nothing
27:55
but digital money or currency, facial recognition software tied
28:01
to your social credit score to to for you to travel, for you to
28:06
get into stores. You know 15 minute cities are
28:09
coming, gang. This is how you fight this
28:12
nonsense and it's not like you can hold up this gold coin you
28:16
know to this camera that's doing facial recognition because the
28:20
store owner won't have control over whether or not that door
28:23
opens. China's the example.
28:26
So this is very powerful stuff here, gang.
28:30
I meant we have to have another, another option because we we
28:34
can't say if the federal government says CDBC is legal
28:39
tender, the states have to take it.
28:41
The constitution's written this way, but the states can have
28:44
something else. And the federal government's not
28:46
going to give us gold and silver ever.
28:48
I'm sorry, Eric Thrasher. I'm going to get a hold of you
28:50
soon, buddy. Eric Thrasher in Ohio, you know,
28:54
basically believe it was savethedollar.org or something
28:57
like that. He was talking about gold
28:59
backing the dollar, gold backing, you know, the American
29:03
currency. That won't work because, you
29:07
know, once again, this comes down to whether or not they will
29:10
fractionally reserve or the state will just, you know, we
29:14
don't have the gold. OK, let's just be honest.
29:17
I I was trying to dance around that.
29:20
We don't have the gold. It's gone.
29:22
So we can't go back. The dollar.
29:24
We can say we can. We can say we have 7000 tons of
29:28
gold in Fort Knox. No one's seen it since 1953.
29:32
Oh, that's not true. What's his name?
29:35
Minutiae. Minutiae.
29:37
Yep. Came out and put out a tweet.
29:39
Gold is safe the 1st. Time.
29:41
That's your audit. That's your audit.
29:43
Yeah, that's your audit. That's right.
29:44
And and Ron, you know, I'm sure you know a little bit about
29:47
numbers. That isn't an official audit.
29:51
No, I. I worked for a BIG4 accounting
29:54
firm when I got out of college. I still remember a little bit
29:56
about auditing. That is definitely not an audit.
29:59
Yep. And so that's what we have is
30:02
assurance, because no politician, no president can go
30:06
see the gold in Fort Knox. They can't see it.
30:09
They're not allowed in. But Mnuchin, for some reason,
30:13
who, you know, basically Mnuchin of course, controlled by the
30:17
banking network, was allowed into Fort Knox and then came out
30:21
and tweeted gold is safe. That's it.
30:24
He's an ex Gold. He's an ex Goldman Sachs guy.
30:26
He was definitely working for the people at right when he was.
30:31
That's right, Goldman Sachs is all about the people.
30:34
That's right. So, so, so, so that tweet,
30:36
that's akin to me tweeting out a picture of Elvis Presley.
30:42
This afternoon and saying Elvis is alive, right.
30:44
I mean, you know, so Elvis is alive and all the gold is at
30:48
Fort Knox. Yeah.
30:49
But the only difference is he was Treasury Secretary.
30:52
So he supposedly has, you know, some form of St. cred.
30:57
Yeah. Basically with every tweet, you
30:58
know, he's going to be honest, you know?
31:01
Yeah. So don't, please don't look for
31:03
honesty from, you know, federal politicians, gang, because it
31:06
just ain't there. And and by the way of Missouri
31:10
Freedom Initiative, I'm going to throw one more thing in here.
31:12
We're about a lot more than just gold and silver.
31:16
We're starting an initiative in the in the month of December to
31:20
actually lay out a road map for people to take back their school
31:24
systems and put their school systems.
31:27
And we're talking about public schools under local control.
31:31
So we're about more than just the tyranny coming with the CDB
31:34
CS. There's tyranny, you know, you
31:37
know, governing the the public school system in America.
31:40
And we want to see that go away too.
31:42
So please don't misunderstand and think all pat is just all
31:46
about silver and gold. No, we're about keeping your
31:49
Second Amendment rights. We're about actually returning
31:51
local control to your local school district.
31:54
We're about, you know, shoot gold and silver as well.
31:58
Because the reason it's not about being money.
32:01
It's about control. Yeah.
32:04
Are you and I in control of our lives, Ron, or is the federal
32:08
government to be in control of our lives?
32:10
We make that decision, you and I, by doing something on the
32:13
state level. Yeah, it's.
32:16
Going to be an interesting year ahead, I want to invite everyone
32:20
who's joined us for this conversation.
32:22
Number one, to thank Pat. You can do that in the comments
32:25
section below. And if you want to learn more
32:28
about Pat about his organization, the Missouri
32:31
Freedom Initiative. They can go to mofree.org.
32:35
That's right, MO is in Missouri, MO free.org, MO free.org.
32:41
And everything we do is generally there, but we do a
32:46
live stream on Saturday nights at 7:30 every Saturday night,
32:50
unless there's some sort of emergency situation.
32:52
But we if you're on the e-mail list, you get an e-mail from us
32:56
every Saturday morning or early Saturday afternoon and and then
33:00
basically our legislative season starts in January.
33:03
So we start going back to the Capitol.
33:05
And I would love it if, as some of the times we're at the
33:08
Capitol, Ron, you know, basically if you're live
33:10
streaming, we'd love to check in on your live stream.
33:14
That would be awesome. And you never know, I may do a
33:17
live stream from the Capitol, right?
33:18
Holy mackerel. Would that be powerful, not just
33:21
for Missouri but for other states if they could see our
33:24
knock in shock operation When I'm doing that and I've been
33:28
asked before, why aren't there pictures, why aren't there
33:29
videos, you know, of the stuff you do up at the Capitol?
33:31
I don't think that way. I'm organizing people when we're
33:34
up there. So I'm I'm, I'm leading a group
33:38
generally and and then organizing you know basically
33:42
for other groups and stuff like that because sometimes we're so
33:45
large we have to separate into two groups, three groups and you
33:48
know basically cover different floors and but that's just the
33:53
nature of the beast. I mean you can only squeeze
33:55
about 30 people we found out into a senator's office there's
34:00
and so you know you can't get more than that in there and a
34:03
representative's office it's even less.
34:05
So you know basically we have to former you know our smaller
34:09
groups but knock in shock January 9th the Missouri Capitol
34:13
be there or be square sounds good.
34:16
So, and Ron, if you can't go, please do a live stream, a
34:20
special live stream for that knock and shock operation so we
34:23
can get some phone calls coming in at the same time that'd be.
34:26
Great. Sounds like a plan, Pat.
34:28
Thank you again on behalf of myself and all the viewers, all
34:31
the basement dwellers that have joined us today.
34:33
And we'll look forward to talking to you soon.
34:36
Hey, Ron, thank you so much for having me back.
34:38
Thank you for letting me get the information out and thank you
34:41
for being you. God bless you, Sir.
34:43
Thank you.
