SPEAKER_01: And they delivered to the commander of the 101st a note of surrender.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: And he replied with just one word.
2:11
SPEAKER_01: He sent it back to him and it said, nuts.
2:15
SPEAKER_01: I've always enjoyed that.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: It seems apropos for where we are.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: And uh I, you know, even with me, I I read these headlines.
2:24
SPEAKER_01: I've been um deep into hidden history and parapolitics for many years, ladies and gentlemen, but I can assure you that the weirdness does not escape me.
2:33
SPEAKER_01: Although if you listen to this program, you're slightly inoculated against how crazy things are.
2:40
SPEAKER_01: So if you just take a little bit of art every week, uh it'll help you a buffer against the insane times ahead and everything that's unfolding all at once.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: And I'll do my best to curate a lot of the insanity today, uh, to the best of my ability, and uh help you navigate these these uh very interesting times.
3:02
SPEAKER_01: Uh this is the Artiburn Radio Transmission.
3:05
SPEAKER_01: It is the 28th of May 2026.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Tony Artiburn, uh, broadcasting in defiance of globalist goblins, the neocons in the new world order from beautiful Branson, Missouri, even though it is raining.
3:18
SPEAKER_01: I have uh Beans the Brave here in studio.
3:21
SPEAKER_01: It's just uh off camera, it's gonna keep us safe from woodland creatures, bad vibes, intruders, all the rest of that.
3:27
SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, I had the David Knight show this morning, and uh Beans did keep me safe.
3:33
SPEAKER_01: Although it's raining, she hates that.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's it's I I shouldn't have I left her on her bed this morning, and I could see her from uh when I was on air with David, and she doesn't like the rain, she's trying to get away from it.
3:44
SPEAKER_01: And uh a lot of things that were busy at the shop this morning, just getting ready for that.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: And I didn't even make coffee, if you can believe that, folks.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna get through the show without coffee, but I am powered by a little bit of nicotine.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: I've got some uh some Copenhagen, I got a Copenhagen pouch.
3:58
SPEAKER_01: I think we'll we'll be just fine.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: We'll get through get through the show, and then I've got work after this, but yeah, just picking up, you know, uh as the official broadcast of the apocalypse, just picking up um the just the headlines from Drudge on the news aggregators, and you've got stories, and we'll cover a little bit of that today, but you got stories like the the Trump$250 bill.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, did you think you'd live to see that?
4:27
SPEAKER_01: Uh that you're gonna get like Saddam Hussein style economics, we're gonna put the living people on our currency.
4:33
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, the British do that and hasn't worked out great for the uh the pound sterling, you know, the uh the sun was never to set on the British Empire and they became a uh aircraft carrier for the United States of America.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: That's something a joke that uh Gore Vidal had.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: But that certainly is the case.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: It you know, it's not it doesn't bode well when you put uh living people and rulers on your currency.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: That's kind of a Zimbabwe thing, you know.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: It's um and maybe that's where we are.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: And you know, the the other headlines and things that are coming through, not just the meltdown of of culture, and we're seeing that the the acid of modernity and uh the the brunt, the full force and weight of the fourth tourney that we're experiencing that is happening, but you also have headlines about um the new Spielberg movie and disclosure and all the well, which PSY-op are we in right now?
5:27
SPEAKER_01: We've got um multiple psy-ops running through uh through the mind war, through the colonizing people uh in their psyche.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: We got that.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: Um, and uh of course the economic factors.
5:39
SPEAKER_01: And I'll cover some of that today because I think that's gonna be at the heart of the matter.
5:44
SPEAKER_01: Uh, really, truly, at the end of the day, it's follow the money, you know, and that's uh something that uh Jesus warned against.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, the root of all evil is the love and lust for money and power.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: You know, money in itself is neutral, it's not good or bad, it just does.
6:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, it can do a lot of good if you use it, kind of like a weapon.
6:04
SPEAKER_01: Uh but unfortunately, we live, you know, with a rule by psychopaths, and they've accumulated a great deal of wealth and they've stockpiled it and stored it, and they have generational wealth and they've manipulated reality.
6:15
SPEAKER_01: So we have to do our job, which is to uh reverse engineer that, see where we actually are, not the headlines, not what the official narrative machine wants you to believe, but uh true blue understanding logic, and uh, I hope that uh we can do a little bit of that together.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, headlines and and a little bit of hidden history today.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: Uh, where should we start?
6:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go to the chat today, too.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: And if you've got any questions, either on Rumble uh or on YouTube or Twitter uh or X, whatever, you know, you can uh send me a question.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: I'm happy to answer them.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: It was a it was an interesting conversation this morning with with David Knight because there's a lot of things happening.
6:57
SPEAKER_01: Maybe I'll cover some financial stuff first, a little bit of the uh macro, geopolitical, uh economic uh forecast of where we are right now.
7:08
SPEAKER_01: But I was talking to to David Knight, and you know, we we're both looking at this uh I think very similarly with uh the price of metals.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: I mean, gold's down off its all-time high of uh you know 5,600 or so an ounce.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: It's down uh I think we just crossed over 4,500 again this morning uh after my David Knight appearance, but it was in the 4400 and a half, and uh a lot of in silver has been down from its all-time high of like 120 and some change.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: So it's it's down too.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people are speculating that uh the uh Walsh nomination, and uh according to Mark Thornton, who's over on Kitco is a professor of economics, that that Walsh himself was was nominated to uh take out precious metals because precious metals and the price of commodities reflect the weakness in the dollar.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: And uh a lot of uh commentators have been speculating that the uh Kevin Walsh nomination for head of the Federal Reserve is akin to how important the nomination of Paul Volcker was to the head of the Federal Reserve in the 1970s.
8:18
SPEAKER_01: And I reminded David, because he lived through that in the uh OPEC oil embargo.
8:25
SPEAKER_01: Uh we just came off the gold standard in 1971.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: Um, we had runaway inflation for the first time in our history in 1973 and onwards, the United States started to run trade deficits.
8:38
SPEAKER_01: So we'd been a uh a trade surplus country.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: That's how we'd we'd built you know, the modern America and indeed the world.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: We were the manufacturing marvel of mankind and free trade policies, along with the um trajectory uh of the trilateral commission to move technology uh and wealth eastward uh for their experiment and for global government, had started to take a real toll on the United States economy.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: So the runaway inflation was a real problem.
9:09
SPEAKER_01: And so they nominated Paul Volcker, and his job was to get a hold of uh you know the money supply, to stabilize the dollar, and at the same time, you had gold uh going from$35 an ounce in 1971 to almost$800 an ounce at the end of 1979.
9:26
SPEAKER_01: And what they did is they steadily uh raised interest rates, and they got interest rates, uh Paul Volcker did uh in the early 1980s uh to the teens.
9:37
SPEAKER_01: So your mortgage rate, you'd be paying you know 13% or more, and uh God knows what else on something a lot less streamlined, you're paying very high interest rates as that contracted the money supply, and then you had the uh Keynesian injections by the Reagan administration and the military industrial complex.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: So they were able to have the go-go eighties, you know, you had uh uh culminating in in uh the caricature of Gordon Gecko from Wall Street, Oliver Stone's movie, uh Greed is good and all of that.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: But the the factors that helped suppress the price of gold and silver, and let's not forget silver was$52.50 an ounce in 1980.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: There were two things that happened.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: One, the the interest rates and the contraction, and then uh the Keynesian injections uh put focus away from hard assets.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: And they went into the stock market and went into tech stocks and the emerging things that were happening uh in the West.
10:36
SPEAKER_01: And uh, of course, there was still uh a Cold War, so we had uh large military budgets and spending, along with uh SDI, the Strategic Defense Initiative, Star Wars was what it was called uh under the Reagan administration.
10:49
SPEAKER_01: So there was a lot of things going on, but the what's different now, even if Warsh is sent in, and I'll read you this headline, is why I'm bringing this up, and then we've got an article from Activist Post.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I can put this on the screen if you'll forget.
11:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm on my laptop again, and I gave Beans the day off.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: So she's not producing, she's just doing security, so it's just me.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: But let's uh let's put this on the screen real quick.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: I don't read the whole article, just the headlines.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: I thought it was interesting because there is a nugget of truth in this.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: Um, economist Mark Thornton warns of a 150-year market peak.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: This is for gold and silver, calls Fed nomination a hit job on precious metals.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: And this is uh not an isolated commentary.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, uh I'm seeing this chatter all over the uh Gold and Silver space about Warsh being brought in to uh take over the dollar to re redorize the the planet, you know, and uh have more influence for the dollar, king bring king dollar back, stabilize, have a strong dollar, which is in direct uh opposition to all of the rhetoric that's ever come out of the Trump administration.
12:08
SPEAKER_01: And I think the market was anticipating uh lower rates and uh uh immediate lower rates, which is why you know Trump went after Jerome Powell and even had the Justice Department put her putting under uh a microscope for the building out of the new wing of the Federal Reserve building for overspending and all the rest of that for having a criminal probe.
12:29
SPEAKER_01: I mean, this is unprecedented territory, and that was because Powell didn't want to lower rates.
12:34
SPEAKER_01: And the reason this is important is because there's a lot of, in my opinion, there's a lot of psychological warfare going on here.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: There's multiple layers of skullduggery, uh half-truths, you know, a lot of strategy flowing through all this to reprice things.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: So I'm not sure any of this holds weight.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: The reason being is because the United States in 1979 had a debt of around 1 trillion.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: So it took us a little over 200 years to hit$1 trillion in debt.
13:09
SPEAKER_01: Now we go into another trillion in debt every 90 days.
13:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh, not to mention the fact that we've got uh 120% of debt to GDP, between 100 and 120% of debt to GDP.
13:22
SPEAKER_01: That hasn't happened since World War II.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: And in World War II, our debt was only 268 billion.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: Uh at the same time, we were 5% of the world's population, had 50% of its wealth.
13:36
SPEAKER_01: That wealth has been dissipated.
13:37
SPEAKER_01: Our standing has been dissipated.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: This isn't, you know, the 40s, this isn't the 50s anymore.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: Um, we are a consumption economy, uh built on consumption, built off debt.
13:48
SPEAKER_01: Debt creation is what drives the modern economy.
13:52
SPEAKER_01: So you have to have, in order to have a functioning economic system at all, recognizable to what you've grown up with, uh rates will have to be lowered.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: There's no other way around it.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: We're certainly not bringing in anything to the economy for stimulation as far as uh certainty for investment or anything like that.
14:14
SPEAKER_01: Uh there's fear, uncertainty, a doubt, FUD rules the day.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: And you can see that reflecting in the market.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: So prices and the volatility are all over the place.
14:24
SPEAKER_01: There will be quantitative easing, ladies and gentlemen.
14:27
SPEAKER_01: There will be cash injections, there will be lowered rates eventually.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: They're not left with a lot of great options.
14:33
SPEAKER_01: And the underlying metrics of that uh being that in 2022, about 56% of the world's uh financial transactions went on in dollars.
14:45
SPEAKER_01: And now it's 41% and declining.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: And you see all the stories that I talk about.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: This is the uh the accumulation, right?
14:55
SPEAKER_01: What uh Churchill called the terrible ifs, like if they do that, if they do this.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Well, they're building physical gold storage facilities in Hong Kong, just off the airport.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: Physical is is the new order of the day.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: It's no longer paper, it's no longer promises.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: You have a diminishing trust across the globe.
15:15
SPEAKER_01: So a lot of this is short-term speculation.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna get into this activist post article here in a second.
15:22
SPEAKER_01: A lot of this is um built-in speculation, it's nonsense.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: So we're reading the headlines, we're trying to figure out where we are, especially in the monetary system, because that's going to drive so much of it's gonna drive uh us socially, economically, spiritually.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: All that stuff's gonna come from uh how we transact business day to day.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: I mean, your your mental health, your health in general is gonna be dependent on the uh strength of uh the economic conditions in which you reside.
15:50
SPEAKER_01: And that's why I cover that heavily, especially in the show.
15:53
SPEAKER_01: We're you know, we're a parapolitics and precious metals.
15:56
SPEAKER_01: But again, uh I always focus on that because I think that's one of the most important aspects of where we are.
16:02
SPEAKER_01: Let me pull up this article uh from Activist Post while we're still on the uh economics portion of where we are.
16:10
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, I I'm gonna read a little bit of the uh the$250 Trump bill.
16:15
SPEAKER_01: But uh they are pushing that.
16:17
SPEAKER_01: I've you know I heard that they were doing that a while, but there's some official documents that have come out.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: It's uh it just reminds me of being in Iraq when you know I I went, they sent me the first place they sent me to was the bank.
16:30
SPEAKER_01: And uh we we didn't have maps.
16:32
SPEAKER_01: We didn't, I wouldn't, we didn't know what our mission was.
16:35
SPEAKER_01: And uh they just patrol and go to the bank, and because there's there's something going on at the bank.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, people were running out with boxes of Iraqi dinar with Saddam Hussein's picture on them.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: And the tellers weren't really stopping them.
16:48
SPEAKER_01: This nobody, there's just chaos, you know.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: And uh I remember watching that, and they would, you know, people would try to go out and and and pay for things to vendors on the street, and uh nobody was taken.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: They were taking US dollars.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, I pulled it in my pocket.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: I bought a Pepsi, you know.
17:04
SPEAKER_01: That's one of the one of my stories that I tell that uh one of the first days in, you know, on mission on the ground in Iraq was was dealing with the the current paper currency uh going to zero.
17:17
SPEAKER_01: And of course, you know, that's uh always a bad sign when you've got the uh the current ruler on on your currency.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: All right, uh let me put this uh big article up on the screen.
17:29
SPEAKER_01: Activist Post.
17:30
SPEAKER_01: See if I can find it.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: All these tabs on my um on my laptop.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: Let's see if I can find this, folks.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: Where did it go?
17:40
SPEAKER_01: Um, Charlie Robinson, my good friend Charlie Robinson, uh runs Activist Post.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: And uh I'm a proud sponsor of that platform.
17:50
SPEAKER_01: And you should definitely go and subscribe to his newsletter if you haven't.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: Uh check out everything that Charlie does.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: He's uh one of the hardest working men and alternative, maybe the hardest working in alternative media, and uh always a uh a champion of the truth.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: This is the article by on Activist Post.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: Kevin Walsh is walking into an inflationary tsunami.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: This is by the uh dollar collapse.
18:24
SPEAKER_01: I can't even pronounce that.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: Sorry, I can't pronounce the name.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to try, I don't want to butcher it that bad.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: Um just the headline alone I thought was interesting.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: It says if there's one job that no Austrian economic uh economist will take up at this juncture, it would be that of the Federal Reserve Chair.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: The road ahead seems to be set in stone, and in a society that has been sold the idea that printing currency units is a pansea to all problems for nearly 45 years, doing the opposite is an invitation to get lynched.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: It is near certain that Kevin Walsh will go down in history as the Fed chair who presided over the demise of the dollar, perhaps as infamous as Gideon Gano, who presided over the Zimbabwean dollar hyperinflation.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: What they're alluding to here, and I think what has been a bait and switch or some sort of change in the narrative, and it could be uh the outcropping or the consequence of our unconstitutional, unnecessary uh war uh in the Middle East again uh with Iran, which was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz or the slowing of oil passing through and the spike in oil prices and the volatility in that, that creates inflation in and of itself.
19:48
SPEAKER_01: It creates higher prices and it destroys the purchasing power of your dollar.
19:53
SPEAKER_01: And uh the initial uh philosophy here, the initial goal I was to understand was that Warsh was going to be an ultimate rate cutter, right?
20:05
SPEAKER_01: So something something is going on here.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: I you they're they're not in a good position.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: You know, they need cheap liquidity to keep the lights on.
20:16
SPEAKER_01: They need to be able to inject cash into the system in order to prop it up.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: That's how it works.
20:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean, this you have a generational shift, folks, from uh the baby boomers and Gen X, uh, and you go on down to the millennials and Gen Z.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: Gen Z doesn't have stocks, don't have homes.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: They're not in this market.
20:35
SPEAKER_01: They don't have uh in mass anyway, any stake in the way that the old system works.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: So that priority to the ruling class is to have the illusion that uh things are are going great, you know, kind of like in Venezuela, you'd have a collapsing currency, but the stock market was at an all-time high.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you're gonna see stuff like that here.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: I mean, a lot of these companies, too, they're built in with 400 times earnings and some nonsense, you know, where there's it's not equity, that's not value.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: All the things that are built into the modern stock market, and they require uh, like an addict, this cheap liquidity.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: And I want to go down, it covers some metrics in the article, but I wanted to go down to the uh last little bit here.
21:25
SPEAKER_01: What will Warsh do?
21:27
SPEAKER_01: So, what can he do?
21:28
SPEAKER_01: Can he hike interest rates by several hundred basis points to combat the surging price inflation?
21:34
SPEAKER_01: What will that do to the multi-asset hyper bubbles in housing, bonds, and AI stocks?
21:42
SPEAKER_01: I don't think there's any chance of doing anything close to what is necessary.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: And even a couple of hundred basis points hikes may not be sufficient at this juncture.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: Remember, Volcker, Paul Volcker, had to offer real interest rate of eight percent to combat the price inflation.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: Of the 1970s, even a nominal 8% yield on the Fed funds rate is not even under theoretical consideration for the U.S.
22:08
SPEAKER_01: today.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: So just like Jerome Powell, and I've covered this for years, I mean, they were raising interest rates faster than Paul Volcker did, but not in the same sense of going to 5%, 6%, 8% and then onward to getting into the teens to combat inflation.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: And our inflation issues are much worse.
22:30
SPEAKER_01: It's systemic.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you're talking about from 1980 when Paul Volcker was taking rates to the teens, there's 56 times more currency on Earth today to uh to contend with.
22:42
SPEAKER_01: And you know, a great deal of that is is dollars.
22:45
SPEAKER_01: So at the same time, you've got an issue with inflation, folks.
22:50
SPEAKER_01: You've also got de dollarization.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: So the usage of dollars goes down.
22:54
SPEAKER_01: The dollars uh that are out in the rest of the world, either uh held up in treasuries or or sovereign wealth funds or whatever you want to call it, I mean, just held assets by central banks, is diminishing.
23:07
SPEAKER_01: There's a reason why uh the term de-dollarization, I didn't talk about that for most of my career because it wasn't a word.
23:17
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't happening.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: And that's that is uh the reality today.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: So there's not a lot of good options here by the Fed.
23:24
SPEAKER_01: He talks about the um the gold redemption.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: The treasury market had it correct.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: The 30-year treasury rate crossed 5% for the first time in 20 years.
23:35
SPEAKER_01: Although the rates are much too low for what lies ahead, treasury rates are at least moving in the right direction, albeit much too slowly, as bond investors will soon realize.
23:47
SPEAKER_01: Gold, however, is moving in the wrong direction as compared to what the fundamentals ought to dictate.
23:53
SPEAKER_01: So pay attention to this because this is another, I think this is another sleight of hand that you're gonna want to pay attention to.
24:00
SPEAKER_01: Both the structural and near-term factors point towards substantially higher gold prices.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: What Kool-Aid the gold traders have drunk, we will never know.
24:12
SPEAKER_01: But the current low prices are temporary and the redemption is in just months away, not weeks.
24:19
SPEAKER_01: We will witness much higher than$6,000 an ounce gold later this year and multiples thereof in the years ahead.
24:27
SPEAKER_01: And I I'm not cheerleading gold for the sake of investment.
24:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't give investment advice.
24:33
SPEAKER_01: I think what was most uh gleaning from this is the aspect of moving in the wrong direction given the fundamentals of where we are.
24:47
SPEAKER_01: And I know what's happening across the world with gold supplanting the dollar.
24:53
SPEAKER_01: Uh I know that uh we're not going back on a dollar-dominated system.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: I also know that we've manufactured an energy crisis uh at the Strait of Hormuz in our war with Iran.
25:04
SPEAKER_01: And uh another story I'll cover here in a second.
25:06
SPEAKER_01: We're we're really uh having a controlled demolition of the current system um through what seems like uh a semblance of coherent policy.
25:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if you wanted to engineer an energy crisis, this is how you would do it.
25:24
SPEAKER_01: If you wanted to have a boogeyman, you could blame it on somebody else at the end of the day.
25:29
SPEAKER_01: But this is how you would do it.
25:30
SPEAKER_01: You have an energy crisis brought to you by higher prices and price people out, and you have an economic issue and crisis that follows it, a systemic banking crisis, all of that.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: So if you wanted to have a true uh great reset, this is how you would start it, folks.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: And that's what's going on.
25:50
SPEAKER_01: So all of the fundamentals and things that you watch with the volatility of precious metals, especially those of you who've been following this show and doing your own research for a long time, I wouldn't worry about uh what a lot of these analysts are saying with you know, gold is peaked, or we're at a uh, you know, we're gonna go into a bear market and uh, you know, this is uh peak gold and all the rest of that.
26:12
SPEAKER_01: Nonsense.
26:13
SPEAKER_01: It's nonsense because of the fundamentals based on the weaknesses of our currency system and the fact that the Fed doesn't have many tricks in its playbook.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: Um king dollar and the dollar hegemony is coming to an end, and there's not much you can do to stop that at this point.
26:32
SPEAKER_01: Too many inroads have been made by BRICS, uh, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and all the periphery nations that have joined that, the loss of the petrodoll.
26:42
SPEAKER_01: So all of that is coalescing around a alarm bell going off in the night saying your dollar is not what it used to be.
26:52
SPEAKER_01: It's not your dad's dollar, it's it's not even your dollar.
26:55
SPEAKER_01: It's not what you grew up with, it's not what it was five years ago or three years ago, and it's not coming back.
27:00
SPEAKER_01: There's short-term things that they can do, but that is a good no no sane person would want to be head of the of the Federal Reserve right now, unless you know you're gonna be part of a you know the elite class that's building their own golden parachutes, and maybe that's the case.
27:18
SPEAKER_01: But if you wanted to take on something, that would be an impossible task.
27:22
SPEAKER_01: It's a it's a no-win scenario.
27:24
SPEAKER_01: So a lot of this, I think, you know, boiling it down, getting down to brass tax, all the fundamentals are still there for gold, silver, for bitcoin, for what uh for what they represent in a sea uh of infinite.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: You know, there's not enough real to house all the fake folks.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: So let me um bounce around a little bit.
27:45
SPEAKER_01: I also uh I talked to my dad this last week.
27:49
SPEAKER_01: He said he's gonna text me uh during the show.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: If he does, we'll we'll go to the dad line.
27:56
SPEAKER_01: He's like, you're you're missing some stuff.
27:59
SPEAKER_01: What about that?
28:00
SPEAKER_01: And I like looked at my phone last show.
28:02
SPEAKER_01: So I'll I'll leave it open.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: We all we'll have a uh a special text for the old man if he wants to uh to chime into the show.
28:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure I miss some stuff, Dad.
28:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh all right.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: He's like, you know, you read articles a lot.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, I have to.
28:18
SPEAKER_01: It's an hour show.
28:19
SPEAKER_01: There's no commercials.
28:20
SPEAKER_01: We don't have an ounce of the fat on the show.
28:23
SPEAKER_01: I I never have.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it's hard to do straight straight commentary without any articles.
28:30
SPEAKER_01: We can do it, I've done it before, uh, but I have to be in a certain mindset for that.
28:35
SPEAKER_01: Uh okay.
28:37
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you've noticed, folks, it's a bit of a brain drain out there, you know.
28:41
SPEAKER_01: All the things that we're having to face and uh compartmentalize, it's like a system running in the background, you know, it pulls a lot of energy.
28:50
SPEAKER_01: So uh let's go to the comments really quick and then I'll uh see what other stories uh we can cover in the dystopia.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: Oh, the computer's running a little slow.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Oh, former con member is in the chat over on YouTube, got a lot of stuff for me.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: Bob9509 says, Afternoon, Mr.
29:11
SPEAKER_01: Ardburn.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: Afternoon, Bob.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: It's good to see you.
29:14
SPEAKER_01: Uh Dustin Helm, howdy, Tony.
29:16
SPEAKER_01: Good to see you, Dustin.
29:17
SPEAKER_01: And of course, former con member, he's he's been around.
29:20
SPEAKER_01: He's got, you know, he's got a lot of insight, and his comments are sometimes so off the wall.
29:27
SPEAKER_01: Maybe you'll give me a good jumping off point.
29:31
SPEAKER_01: All right, I'm trying to get through it.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: Uh let me see, go down to the end of the comments if I got anything new.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know what you're telling me.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: Former Tony, you have always reminded me of Godzilla.
29:49
SPEAKER_01: And uh well, you know, I um I like Godzilla movies.
29:55
SPEAKER_01: Uh I didn't so much like the ones from the 90s, I like the classic ones, you know.
29:59
SPEAKER_01: Uh just suspend disbelief and see all the puppetry, you know.
30:03
SPEAKER_01: Um kind of like now when I read the news.
30:07
SPEAKER_01: So let's uh let's go to Rumble really quick.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: Don't forget uh Arterburn Radio Transmission, also on the America Unplugged channel over on Rumble.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I see junkyards over in the chat.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: Good to see Junkyard.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: Haven't seen Junkyard in a while.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh this is Tony Ty 06.
30:32
SPEAKER_01: I got a roll of 90% Kennedy half dollars for 500 bucks.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: I think I did pretty good.
30:38
SPEAKER_01: No home run, but at least made it made a base hit.
30:42
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's uh I'd have to know exactly uh what the face was, but that that sounds like just off the cuff reading this live on air, that sounds like a pretty good deal, Tony.
30:51
SPEAKER_01: I think you did pretty good.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, the junk silver is underrated, one of the most underrated assets uh right now because so much was sold off during gold's or silver's run as it went up to its all-time high again and again.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: Uh long term, that 19 pre-1964 stuff is gonna be uh very valuable.
31:13
SPEAKER_01: And I push that through through Wolfpack.
31:16
SPEAKER_01: There's uh there's a bit of a lull on the premiums for it right now and demand, uh, but fundamentals, remember that.
31:23
SPEAKER_01: And it is U.S.
31:24
SPEAKER_01: currency, don't forget that.
31:26
SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh skipping around through comments here.
31:31
SPEAKER_01: I didn't want to exclude anybody.
31:35
SPEAKER_01: See, real Jason Barker is in the chat as well.
31:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see.
31:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
31:45
SPEAKER_01: So Tony says, I I do coin roll hunting a lot.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's always a you know, you can still even on the um you might not know this, folks, but the silver half dollars from uh there are silver half dollars that are 40%.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: They're Kennedy's from 1965 to 1970.
32:04
SPEAKER_01: So if you're going through your rolls, anything 65 to 70 is also 40% silver.
32:09
SPEAKER_01: And uh I think last time I checked it was like$10 or so silver in each one of those.
32:16
SPEAKER_01: So pay attention to the dates.
32:20
unknown: All right.
32:21
SPEAKER_01: Just uh just making sure I didn't miss anybody.
32:23
SPEAKER_01: If you have any questions, you want to send them over on the Rumble chat or the YouTube chat.
32:29
SPEAKER_01: I'll do my best to get to him and I'll I'll check the I'll check the dad line if he's got anything.
32:36
SPEAKER_01: Just making sure I'm not I'm sure I missed something.
32:38
SPEAKER_01: But um all right.
32:40
SPEAKER_01: All right, more more of the dystopian headlines.
32:43
SPEAKER_01: There's um something I thought was another indication of the schizophrenic foreign policy that we have.
32:55
SPEAKER_01: Let's read a little bit about this.
32:57
SPEAKER_01: I I covered uh David Knight brought this up today, and it is a a signpost on the on the road ahead.
33:04
SPEAKER_01: It's a it's a it's a good indicator of where we actually are.
33:08
SPEAKER_01: Let me go back to StreamYard.
33:11
SPEAKER_01: This is on zero hedge.
33:16
SPEAKER_01: And you know, a lot of the stuff happening right now, folks, it just hasn't happened before.
33:22
SPEAKER_01: You know, we haven't had these type this type of rhetoric and other things that are coming out of the the ruling administration, we've just not ever seen.
33:32
SPEAKER_01: So this is some of this is new territory.
33:35
SPEAKER_01: I mean, some of you know, you can always get like weird backhanded comments from leaders, you know, or jokes that weren't intended to ever be heard or something.
33:45
SPEAKER_01: I remember there's a story about Ronald Reagan.
33:49
SPEAKER_01: Um he's giving a radio broadcast and he didn't think that he was live yet.
33:53
SPEAKER_01: I think they had like another like 60 seconds, so he thought he was warming up, and he he said that he was gonna outlaw the Soviet Union.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: He's outlawed it, he's gonna go ahead and the bombers are on their way, and he was just making a joke with that, you know, went live, and there's things like that.
34:08
SPEAKER_01: Or he called, you know, one time Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire, and that stuck.
34:15
SPEAKER_01: But nothing quite like this.
34:17
SPEAKER_01: Uh, this is zero hedge.
34:19
SPEAKER_01: Uh Scott Bessent warns Oman on Hormuz toll scheme, because Oman wanted to uh uh join in with Iran on the tolls to keep the oil flowing uh through the Strait of Hormuz uh after Trump threatened to blow up the U.S.
34:38
SPEAKER_01: ally.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh on an official level, at least, Oman remains a close strategic partner and a key ally to the United States and the Middle East.
34:48
SPEAKER_01: However, that relationship has been severely strained this month amid apparent Iranian-Omanni cooperation regarding a potential toll system for the Strait of Hormuz.
35:00
SPEAKER_01: This, of course, flies in the face of the U.S.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: posture in the region.
35:05
SPEAKER_01: U.S.
35:05
SPEAKER_01: Secretary Scott Bessant is the latest top Trump admin official to chastise Oman.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: The United States government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Thursday.
35:19
SPEAKER_01: Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved, directly or indirectly.
35:29
SPEAKER_01: So, aside from the fact that Trump said he was going to uh blow them up, just right off the cuff, um, this is a glaring example of the uh weaponization of the dollar.
35:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh, this is why we have dollar usage declining, again, 56% usage worldwide in 2022, around 41% today.
35:53
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I doubt that it'll be better in five years.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if you're thinking, if you think for two minutes and think coherently, you're gonna arrive at pretty much the same conclusion that I have.
36:05
SPEAKER_01: The de-dollarization is the order of the day.
36:07
SPEAKER_01: And it's gotten this way rapidly through the weaponization, the sanctions of the dollar.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: But you're talking about a U.S.
36:16
SPEAKER_01: Treasury Secretary carrying out foreign policy.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: Because clearly that's what this is.
36:23
SPEAKER_01: This isn't peace, commerce, and honest friendship.
36:26
SPEAKER_01: This isn't uh the dollar as good as gold.
36:30
SPEAKER_01: This isn't the agreement that we had with the world in uh 1944 at Breton Woods.
36:35
SPEAKER_01: We we have departed that a long time ago.
36:38
SPEAKER_01: And we, you know, the magic trick really began in 1971 when we uh stopped taking uh dollars and converting them into gold.
36:47
SPEAKER_01: We closed the gold window.
36:48
SPEAKER_01: Uh, Nixon said that it was temporary, but anybody in the know understood that we'd entered into a uh Keynesian fiat experiment.
36:57
SPEAKER_01: And uh the average lifespan of uh of a currency not backed by anything is 26 years.
37:02
SPEAKER_01: The reason we were able to go as far as we have, in my opinion, uh is the fact that we have the world's reserve currency that's so much as uh so many dollars are used in transactions.
37:13
SPEAKER_01: It's something called money velocity.
37:16
SPEAKER_01: Don't ask me to explain it, I just understand, at least emotionally and theoretically, I understand, you know, it's kind of like a any other Ponzi scheme.
37:25
SPEAKER_01: You know, uh if you've got users, uh, the more users that are stay on board, the more that you can get away with the deception.
37:34
SPEAKER_01: And we were able to do that for a long time.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: But we uh it's like um a fly lands on your your forehead and you kill it with a hatchet.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: And that's what we're doing.
37:46
SPEAKER_01: We're hurting ourselves through all these perceived threats, uh, through trying to remain the hegemonic dominant uh power on the earth, not only militarily but financially.
37:57
SPEAKER_01: And so you got uh you know 40 different plus sanctions on 36 different countries.
38:02
SPEAKER_01: I've quoted that metric a lot.
38:03
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it's wrong now.
38:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, but that that's part of this, and then this article is interesting because it's showing two things.
38:11
SPEAKER_01: It's showing our schizophrenic geopolitical stance, and it's showing the fact that we, in broad daylight, weaponize the dollar.
38:22
SPEAKER_01: In facilitating the tolls for the strait, any willing partner will be penalized, Besson continued.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: All nations should reject outright any efforts by Iran to disrupt the free flow of commerce.
38:35
SPEAKER_01: Tehran's days of terrorizing the region and the world are over.
38:41
SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of projection there, don't you think?
38:46
SPEAKER_01: Starting a week ago, official discussions between Oman and Iran were widely reported.
38:51
SPEAKER_01: Iran and Oman have discussed setting up a toll system to charge vessels uh trans uh transiting the through the Strait of Hormuz, given the country's geography and the uh southeastern Arabian Peninsula is likely to play a key role in the final agreement or outcome or whatever happens.
39:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh hopefully something happens.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it it's either that or we have a true full-blown energy crisis that will be systemic in all things, folks.
39:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it'll it'll quickly turn into a uh a banking crisis, which, in my opinion, if you're living through the great reset decade, which we are, if you're paying attention and you believe their white papers and everything else they put out, um, what they believe in, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
39:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh, seems like a good in-run around that.
39:42
SPEAKER_01: You know, there was uh Zygnu Brzezinski talked about that, you know, the uh national security advisor for Carter and then Secretary of State.
39:51
SPEAKER_01: He was a technocrat and head of the trilateral commission.
39:54
SPEAKER_01: And he said that you need to in-run around sovereignty.
39:57
SPEAKER_01: Well, this is an in-run around uh policy.
40:02
SPEAKER_01: And you don't have to have an outright policy of uh austerity, you don't have to have an outright policy of dystopian, top-down totalitarian systems.
40:12
SPEAKER_01: You just go around it by having a perceived crisis.
40:15
SPEAKER_01: You know, oh, that's happened because Iran wouldn't make a deal.
40:18
SPEAKER_01: Roman wanted to have a toll system set up with Iran, you know, something like that.
40:23
SPEAKER_01: And they just use uh these boogeymen, they'll use a scapegoat for something that's clearly a control demolition.
40:34
SPEAKER_01: Besson is continuing the pressure campaign soon on the heels of President Trump in somewhat shocking and surprise remarks saying that Amman could come under American military attack if it doesn't cooperate.
40:47
SPEAKER_01: Trump said in the Oval Office in front of cameras that the U.S.
40:50
SPEAKER_01: would blow up Amman if it doesn't, quote, behave.
40:57
SPEAKER_01: Well, again, there's really not much precedence for this when you're talking about former presidents and the way that we conducted business in the world, especially with perceived allies, folks.
41:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's funny, I'm sitting in this chair and it just keeps going.
41:16
SPEAKER_01: I've had I keep sinking slower down.
41:18
SPEAKER_01: You're like, is Tony is Tony shrinking in real time?
41:23
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, probably so.
41:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh there's a video.
41:28
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna play the video.
41:29
SPEAKER_01: I can I can already hear him say it.
41:32
SPEAKER_01: Uh Iranian foreign minister spokesman Emil uh Boxy sought to explain earlier this week there is no toll.
41:39
SPEAKER_01: We need to pay attention to the words we use.
41:43
SPEAKER_01: We're not after money.
41:44
SPEAKER_01: Iran and Oman need to cooperate protocols for the safe passage of ships, and it will be based on international laws.
41:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, this is you know, this is a back and forth uh the consequence, regardless of what the intentions are of these other countries.
42:05
SPEAKER_01: This is a consequence of doing something we didn't have to do.
42:10
SPEAKER_01: And you can try to explain this away a thousand different uh you know, a thousand different ways.
42:16
SPEAKER_01: You can try to uh put a put lipstick on this pig, but it's bad.
42:21
SPEAKER_01: And of course they pulled the trigger um for factors, you know, whether it be uh on behalf of the state of Israel uh or behalf of the Great Reset or both or something, but it has nothing, no bearing on the interest of the American people.
42:38
SPEAKER_01: And we're clearly seeing the the outcropping of the uh consequences of that, folks.
42:43
SPEAKER_01: So this is uh an interesting signpost, something to pay attention to.
42:48
SPEAKER_01: I think this will, these are all related issues, by the way.
42:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, the the Fed chair, what they're going to do with economic policy, what they're gonna do with rates, what they're gonna do with uh quantitative easing and cash injections.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: This has a direct correlation on what where we are geopolitically.
43:06
SPEAKER_01: And I've never seen, it's funny, I I was always accused of of being isolationist.
43:13
SPEAKER_01: I heard that word a lot.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: It's something that when I first got on the air, this was 2013.
43:18
SPEAKER_01: So it's not that long ago, but it seems like five lifetimes away.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: Completely different world.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: And I remember hearing that it's pretty isolationist of you, you know, because I wanted the uh the old republic, you know, I wanted uh I thought we'd be a lot stronger militarily if we didn't have all these obligations and treaties and tripwires that we have all over the world.
43:41
SPEAKER_01: Um we had, you know, I used to say we had uh uh treaties uh to go to war on behalf of nations that most Americans can't find on a map uh put in place by men that are no longer alive, committing men yet unborn to fight those wars.
43:57
SPEAKER_01: So it it was to me.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: It was the height of stupidity and arrogance and old thinking.
44:03
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like a once the Cold War ended, once the wall came down and Soviet communism collapsed, there was an opportunity to reset the system.
44:17
SPEAKER_01: And I mean in a good way, you know, make economic inroads something that Gor Vidal talked about with Russia and start spending on infrastructure, you know, great projects and things like that.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: Not that I'm necessarily advocating that, but that's a better idea than having perpetual war for perpetual peace.
44:36
SPEAKER_01: So it's like a relic.
44:37
SPEAKER_01: We had this Maginot line like the French had after World War I.
44:42
SPEAKER_01: They built the Maginot line and it didn't keep up with technology, or the you know, the changing structure of how war was was implemented, or just in general at all.
44:55
SPEAKER_01: They're always fighting the last war.
44:56
SPEAKER_01: You know, that's a that's a phrase, too.
44:58
SPEAKER_01: Generals are always fighting the last war.
45:00
SPEAKER_01: So we built this liberal new world order through uh the the Cold War and then kept the remnants of it, but started all these other side projects, class projects, and all the rest.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: You had the Wolfowitz memorandum in 1992 that like made the laid the groundwork for the neocon you know uh frenzy and fever dream that we uh culminated past uh 9-11, you know, the seven countries in five years and all the rest of that.
45:30
SPEAKER_01: You had that structure was being built by these zealots.
45:34
SPEAKER_01: So that that really affected uh whether or not we were able to sustain anything with uh any semblance of what the United States was intended to be.
45:43
SPEAKER_01: So all these things are their time has come, it's lapsed, but we're still attached uh around the world with all these treaties.
45:50
SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile, we go and we isolate ourselves continually with these types of comments, this type of rhetoric, this type of uh policy, the direction that we're headed.
46:02
SPEAKER_01: Not only do markets love certainty, but the world seems to get a bit nervous when you're the leading superpower and you just threaten to blow people up.
46:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, am I losing my mind here?
46:14
SPEAKER_01: Is this uh this is unprecedented?
46:16
SPEAKER_01: I don't, I can't, I I search my database in my mind to try to find something where it would be anything would be akin to that.
46:23
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you'd had there there's times when maybe a phone call or something would be uh nearing the realm of this, but it's just not the same thing.
46:36
SPEAKER_01: I remember there was that they called uh Nixon during the Yom Kippur War for, you know, when Israel was being attacked by its neighbors, and uh, of course there was Soviet influence there, and Nixon was uh a few scotches in in the Lincoln sitting room, and uh he said if if they don't uh back off, I'll drop the big one.
46:58
SPEAKER_01: And that's from what I understand because that was a phone call.
47:00
SPEAKER_01: I think he got a lot of people nervous because he might have, you know, because uh he had the madman theory that was built in by Henry Kissinger.
47:09
SPEAKER_01: It's one of the reasons they went in uh to Cambodia, you know, it was like they to take out the the supposed VC base camps there.
47:16
SPEAKER_01: There was uh the madman theory or the unpredictability being their best asset.
47:22
SPEAKER_01: That's that's one thing, but this is out in the open press conference stuff in the midst of trying to, or at least we should be, not trying to.
47:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh the most important thing that we could do right now is to stabilize.
47:39
SPEAKER_01: And uh this doesn't stabilize anything.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: So just something to pay attention to.
47:43
SPEAKER_01: I think these things are related, folks.
47:46
SPEAKER_01: All right.
47:47
SPEAKER_01: Let me uh search around the board here.
47:50
SPEAKER_01: I could read some headlines from antiwar.com for sure.
47:54
SPEAKER_01: Uh there's some, I mean, again, uh wars and rumors of wars, folks.
47:58
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think we're we're used to it by now.
48:01
SPEAKER_00: Let me go back and take this off the screen.
48:06
SPEAKER_00: All right.
48:09
SPEAKER_00: Uh let's uh let's jump around a bit.
48:11
SPEAKER_00: There was a story that I pulled up earlier.
48:19
SPEAKER_01: This is the b this will be the last thing we cover.
48:22
SPEAKER_01: And uh I guess it uh they all kind of sink together in the mad the madness of uh the timeline in which we live.
48:30
SPEAKER_01: So you know, welcome to tomorrow.
48:33
SPEAKER_01: Let me pull this up here.
48:34
SPEAKER_00: This is um natural news.
48:40
SPEAKER_01: All right.
48:42
SPEAKER_01: I think I've talked to Mr.
48:43
SPEAKER_01: Anderson about this uh before I saw this headline, but I didn't know that there was an official leak.
48:50
SPEAKER_01: Secret plan by the U.S.
48:53
SPEAKER_01: and Israel to seize the Al-Aska custodianship from Jordan is exposed.
49:00
SPEAKER_01: The United States and Israel are actively working to end Jordan's historic custodianship of Jerusalem's Al-Asqamas complex, according to multiple American, Jordanian, and Palestinian officials as well as Western and Gulf Arab sources.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: The planned, championed by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jerry Kushner and U.S.
49:23
SPEAKER_01: Ambassador to Israel Mike Tel Aviv Huckabee, would replace the Jordanian-backed Islamic uh walk WAQF with a new Israeli created body that would declare the Al-Asqa Mosque a multi-faith center.
49:44
SPEAKER_01: This is the sources told Middle Eastern Eye.
49:47
SPEAKER_01: Under the proposed arrangement, Jews would be granted equal access to the Muslim site and be formally allowed to conduct large group Jewish prayer, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
50:02
SPEAKER_01: Israel would also have a major say in the appointment of Imams, preachers, and senior mosque officials, and would sign off on the content for Friday sermons.
50:15
SPEAKER_01: Two U.S.
50:16
SPEAKER_01: officials said Washington had drafted a paper on the envisioned future of the mosque.
50:24
SPEAKER_01: Well, that really lends credence to what we've been saying the past many years, but especially the last year and a half.
50:34
SPEAKER_01: It's funny.
50:35
SPEAKER_01: Uh I have a clip, I need to pull it up of me on Tinfoil Hat, and this was um December 4th, 2024.
50:45
SPEAKER_01: So just before the second inaugural for Trump and the new administration, and I'd been doing a lot of thinking.
50:52
SPEAKER_01: And uh Sam Tripoli asked me, and I have to pull up the clip.
50:55
SPEAKER_01: It was it's funny because I speak in history, right?
50:58
SPEAKER_01: And I just I was on the plane, I read a book um about gold, the history of gold, and it told a story about Croesus.
51:09
SPEAKER_01: And I know I've told this story before, but I told the story of you know the Lydian king Croesus, who's first to coin gold, and um he wanted to take on the the Persian Empire, which is Iran, because they had so much gold, but not they didn't have they had massive amounts of gold, but not because they were using it as a monetary sense.
51:29
SPEAKER_01: It was religious for them.
51:31
SPEAKER_01: Uh gold held a divine uh quality and energy for the for the ancient Persians, but uh Croesus, who had this, you know, uh, you know, that's uh you always hear that phraseology in the the gold realms like as rich as Croesus is always floated around through our lexicon.
51:49
SPEAKER_01: And so he sent out a uh an edict, you know, the if the if he could find an oracle or a soothsayer or a psychic or a medium, you know, to tell him what he was doing that evening, that uh he would shower them with gold.
52:02
SPEAKER_01: And one of them wrote back, and it was the Oracle of Delphi, and um told him what he was doing that evening.
52:09
SPEAKER_01: So she won, you know, and he showered her with gold, and then he would go to the oracle because he wanted a psychic, and he'd say, uh, what happens if I attack Persia?
52:18
SPEAKER_01: I said, Well, if you attack Persia, a great empire will fall.
52:21
SPEAKER_01: And so Croesus loaded up his army and all his mercenaries and everything else and attacked Persia, and a great empire did fall, his.
52:28
SPEAKER_01: And that's the story that I told.
52:30
SPEAKER_01: I thought I said, I think the second Trump administration will be all about Iran, and um, it'll be all about the um the carrying out of uh foreign policy goals, and I didn't use it as exact language, but pretty close, uh, on behalf of a foreign nation.
52:51
SPEAKER_01: Because I could see the the writing on the wall, which is also a biblical phrase from the book of Daniel.
52:59
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, this is I think related to that.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: We we are there's a lot of the Armageddon type folks that um and you can see, I mean, with whether it's Christian Zionism or uh Zionists in general, or just the military industrial complex people or the New World Order people, and they they have a similar vein, and that is that you and I, you know, our wish to live in peace and freedom and uh have personal liberty and sovereignty is not even on the list.
53:30
SPEAKER_01: Um what's on the list is their goals, whether it be because they actually believe it they want to usher in um Armageddon or the second coming of Christ or put all the things in place to do that.
53:43
SPEAKER_01: One of those is the capture of the Alaska Mosque, and that's always been something that those of us who pay attention uh are looking for movement on that, because that's how you know.
53:58
SPEAKER_01: You know, they really there's they are dead set and they are serious, but the degree of that is actually pushing in things like which would be cataclysmic, folks.
54:10
SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
54:14
SPEAKER_01: Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, and United States Emirates have all been briefed on the U.S.
54:19
SPEAKER_01: proposal sources.
54:21
SPEAKER_01: One source close to the Jordanian government told Middle Eastern Eye that the Americans have been angry that the Jordanians cite their custodianship and raise complaints about the Israeli actions at Al-Aska.
54:35
SPEAKER_01: The proposal leaves the fate of Jerusalem's Christian holy sites also under Jordanian uh custodianship uncertain.
54:45
SPEAKER_01: Well, and one of the saddest things I've ever witnessed was all of those Christian sites that were in northern Iraq that I got to see before they were decimated.
54:57
SPEAKER_01: Some of the oldest sites in Christendom, and of course the Christian population there and all the evil that uh I mean, we let loose all those demons.
55:06
SPEAKER_01: Like when you when you take out Saddam Hussein, uh you don't just take out one monster, you'd get 10,000, and then you got the CIA-backed people.
55:16
SPEAKER_01: It was just a spirit of war and death for the spirit and the sake of it.
55:22
SPEAKER_01: And I got to see that in real time.
55:24
SPEAKER_01: Nothing good comes from the ultimately, you know, the spirit of Trotskyism, which is the spirit of neoconservatives and the spirit of those who have these thoughts, you know, about uh Greater Israel project or um wars forever in the Middle East or an Israeli first project.
55:45
SPEAKER_01: I mean, all of that stuff, this comes from the mind of people that are revolutionaries in the Trotsky-eyed spirit.
55:51
SPEAKER_01: You can go back, I mean, there's a there's an intellectual lineage here, folks.
55:54
SPEAKER_01: You can actually go back and look at it.
55:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, it's fruit of a poisonous tree.
55:59
SPEAKER_01: Because, of course, Trotsky was a Marxist.
56:02
SPEAKER_01: And Marx himself, I believe, was influenced directly by Satan.
56:06
SPEAKER_01: I mean, this uh Marxism in practice is the operating system for Satanism in the material world.
56:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you can just go and read the history of communism, you can read um even the origins of the Marxian story and how he was.
56:22
SPEAKER_01: Did people really know?
56:23
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that they don't talk about this in um in history uh classes and universities at all, but the you know, Marx was funded by a shadowy group called the League of Just Men, and they had ties to the House of Rothschild.
56:38
SPEAKER_01: This was something like Marx was put into place for a reason.
56:42
SPEAKER_01: It was um it's kind of like you get the Hegelian dialectic, you know, you have thesis and antithesis.
56:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, Marx was anti-thesis, but with a caveat, and it is truly evil.
56:55
SPEAKER_01: And so even if your intentions are, you know, supplanting not using Marx, you know, communism, but using democracy as your God, because that's what you'll hear, you know, we've got to democratize mankind and all the rest of that.
57:09
SPEAKER_01: It always has its roots.
57:12
SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, there was an article that came out years ago, um, just before I went back on radio, and it was uh talking about Bill Kristol, and said, Bill Kristol, your Marxist roots are showing.
57:22
SPEAKER_01: Because he was if you boil it down, they want revolution, perpetual revolution for the sake of it.
57:28
SPEAKER_01: And that's Trotskyism.
57:30
SPEAKER_01: And so a lot of that has spiritual consequences.
57:34
SPEAKER_01: And so these things are all on the table, folks.
57:37
SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I can get any more out of this article before we wrap up.
57:40
SPEAKER_01: I got only got a couple of minutes.
57:44
SPEAKER_01: U.S.
57:44
SPEAKER_01: officials denied the allegations after the report was published, calling claims that Washington was seeking to end Jordanian's custodianship over the Alaska Mosque.
57:53
SPEAKER_01: Totally false.
57:54
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
57:55
SPEAKER_01: Kind of like uh there are no Epstein files.
57:59
SPEAKER_01: However, sources told Middle Eastern I that pressure has increased since Huckabee assumed his post last year.
58:06
SPEAKER_01: The U.S.
58:07
SPEAKER_01: envoy, a devout evangelical Christian, is a longtime pro-Israel advocate who has supported illegal Israeli settlements.
58:16
SPEAKER_01: If implemented, the changes would inflame the entire region, according to Gulf Arab sources.
58:21
SPEAKER_01: Well, no kidding.
58:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, I think uh these reports, I mean, if I'm giving you my best analysis, I think these reports are obviously true.
58:34
SPEAKER_01: And uh it's part of the uh part of the season that we're in, folks.
58:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh this is uh not only a fourth turning, but uh a lot of things, you know, ideologies clashing.
58:46
SPEAKER_01: You have uh the demise of old institutions and uh the loss of um the dominance of the American Empire, all that stuff is coalescing.
58:56
SPEAKER_01: They have to do a hurry-up offense, so pay attention, stay frosty, all the things that we brought up today.
59:02
SPEAKER_01: I think um they're all interconnected, by the way.
59:05
SPEAKER_01: And uh I didn't have time to get to everything or to all of your comments.
59:10
SPEAKER_01: Let me check Rumble one more time, make sure I didn't miss anybody.
