Transcript
- 0:03SPEAKER_01: We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: Good evening, folks.
- 0:13SPEAKER_01: You're listening to the hour of the time.
- 0:15SPEAKER_01: I'm William Cooper.
- 0:18SPEAKER_02: The chair is against the wall.
- 0:20SPEAKER_02: The chair is against the wall.
- 0:22SPEAKER_02: John has a long mustache.
- 0:24SPEAKER_02: John has a long mustache.
- 0:26SPEAKER_02: It's 12 o'clock Americans another day closer to victory.
- 0:29SPEAKER_02: And for all of you out there on a behind the line, this is your song.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: Veteran of three foreign wars.
- 0:43SPEAKER_01: Entrepreneur and warrior poet.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: Tony Aarburn takes on the issues facing our country, civilization, and planet.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: This is the Araburn radio transmission.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: Are you not entertained?
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: I think it was like an evolution of me.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: I was just noticing like subconsciously before I go on air.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: And of course, Thursdays are kind of busy because I have the David Knight show beforehand.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: So I gotta wake up a little bit earlier.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: I study the markets, I see what's going on, and then I go home, David.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Then I do the show, and then I notice like I I over time I reach for more, I have more coffee, I have some more tobacco.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: I'll stop, I'll stop the show if I ever start needing some whiskey before I go.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: That's when I need to probably just really take a break.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: Uh, but I'm here, I'm ready for this.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: It's the 24th of September, 2026, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Tony Arterburn.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: I'm joined in studio by Beans the Brave.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Uh, we got Pumpkin the Cat here in Denison again for the transmission, so I'm thankful for that.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: Official broadcast of the apocalypse.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: Headlines and hidden history, weapons grade truth.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Uh, I haven't done all of my taglines in a while.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: I need to uh write them down.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: Uh I used to just repeat them, but you know, um, it is interesting.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: There's two types of people, um Nietzsche said.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: There's two types of people, those who uh want the truth and those who don't want their uh delusions destroyed.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: And I I'm trying to find something of value.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: I mean, we we we're in Plato's cave, okay?
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: And there's a lot of experts on things that just don't matter.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: And I was talking to David about that this morning.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: Like the entire financial system is built on fake, our politics are built on fake, um, our society is built on fake.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: It is overwhelming, and you have to get good at some of it because some of it requires your knowledge to navigate it, you know, like the old question, like how many angels can dance on the head of a pen, like just utter nonsense.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: But that's where we are.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, you uh I just looking at Drudge, and again, I have this like tendency to just bypass 90% of what's on there.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: You know, not that Drudge is the the epicenter of all things news aggregation, but uh I find that they get a pretty good snapshot over the years.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: I'll I'll usually hit Drudge first because it's the best for live and then Zero Hedge and then Activist Post, Natural News, uh LouRockwell.com, uh antiwar.com, kitco.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: You know, like I'll I'll go into and even you know X or Twitter spaces, whatever.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: I'll look at some of that.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: A lot of that's noise, but where my mind drifted today.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: We'll we'll kind of take a tour down the left-hand side of Drudge, and I'll I'll definitely go to comments today.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: I'll need you guys, you guys are my support group, um, because I want to pull something out of the transmission of value.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: I mean, we can talk about markets, but I think it's probably the most important thing.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: Uh, money, where that's headed, value, because that sets the trend.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: It sets the trajectory for where we're going.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: So that's one thing I will stay on.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: But a large part of the political landscape is changing.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: And I think a lot of that has to do, I've read some articles recently on uh psyops, actually, psyops going on, um, things happening in the social media sphere, and we've covered that a bit on the show.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: I I'm starting to see the the pendulum swing, and we can talk about that because uh the left-right paradigm in the country is used and weaponized against us.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: It's it's why you'll notice that even though I care about a lot of things, I do care deeply about the sanctity of human life.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: Um I'm anti-war.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Uh I want free markets, I want prosperity, uh, human liberty is very important to me, free speech, the Bill of Rights.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: You know, like I'm politically motivated.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: And even Plato said that about you know, if you don't engage in politics, you end up being governed by your inferiors.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, politics really isn't available.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: It's uh captured by the fulcrum of psychological operations.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: And um, and we can see that.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: It's it's clearly running a program right now, because you saw the the nationalistic swing, which I I felt like I've always been out in front of trends.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: Before we get to that, I'll show you another trend that I've been out in front of.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Just a little so you know, when you listen to me, you might be listening to a tiny glimpse of uh the future, okay?
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: And and maybe if you follow what I do, just a little bit, a tiny.
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: I didn't say the whole thing, but uh, this is the headline of Drudge I wanted to pull up.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: This is what got me um laughing this morning because I did the same thing last week when we talked about the new species of cat.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: So, like my mind's like, oh, that's an interesting headline.
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: Uh let me pull this up.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: Hold on a second.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: I gotta just share the screen.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: This made me laugh.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: If you guys that know me, this is uh this is so true.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: This is this was pulled right off of Drudge, and I love the headline.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: It says uh owning a small dog has become the ultimate badge of masculinity.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: I can't read the whole article, but it's it's good.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: It's by Tim Robbie over on the telegraphs, and it says, Attitudes to the size of a man's best friend have changed, says the canine historian who studied everyone from Charles II to the rock.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: Men used to demand a hearty companion, coming up to at least waist height, or didn't think it was worth bothering with a dog at all, but attitudes are changing as evidenced by a boom in little dogs being toted around unashamedly by red-blooded male celebrities.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: In fact, if you wanted to argue that small dogs aren't manly, there's an intimidating phalanx of Hollywood A-Lesters standing in your way.
- 7:49SPEAKER_00: You need to square off against uh Sylvester Stallone, Christian Bale, you Jackman, and indeed Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who once jumped fully clothed into a swimming pool to save a French bulldog puppy called Brutus from drowning.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: Uh, it goes on to talk about the uh injection of small dogs into the uh male culture.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't know.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'm ahead of trends.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: I never saw myself as the small dog guy.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: Um, but Beans just, I mean, she wasn't gonna say no.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: I mean, she wasn't gonna like let me say no.
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: She wasn't gonna say, you know, it was just one thing, she just adopted me.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: And uh, I mean, Melissa and I adopted Beans, but it just eventually, especially after I lost my dog Layla, if you've been listening to the show long enough, and Beans just said, I'm your dog.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: I'm going with.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: And I, how do you turn her down?
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: You know, so I became the small dog I.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: But that's that's where my mind went today.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: So a little bit of trends to start with, um, and fun to think about.
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: But I I see another trend, and I talked to David about this morning.
- 8:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, if you're paying attention at all, if you think, you know, in this space, you can get a little bit uh nihilistic where things don't matter, they do at some level.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: And some, you know, you may not be 100% real, but you're dealing with enough real, enough reality in the in the system itself to have causality.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: Okay, so what I mean by that is elections.
- 9:24SPEAKER_00: We're headed towards this midterm election.
- 9:27SPEAKER_00: I think it's gonna be historic.
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: Um, and maybe it'll be more of a yawn than anything else to most people, but I think it's gonna set the trend for the pendulum.
- 9:38SPEAKER_00: And I've been meditating on this for a while because uh the so-called right has pretty much lost all steam.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Um, they bit off the fruit of a poisonous tree.
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: Um, you can't be for America first, and you can't have uh tradition, hearth, and home, and bring the troops home and all this stuff if you want endless wars and you're fighting on behalf of a foreign nation because of your uh warped sense of loyalty, not only for money and political loyalty, but the aspect of uh the infiltration and the metastization of uh of that belief system into American evangelical churches.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: So, like the whole thing I've always thought was top-heavy and uh it was built to self-destruct.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: Like it's just again, fruit of a poisonous tree.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: So we've come to this thing where the implosion has happened.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: We finally went uh headlong into this unnecessary war uh with Iran.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: And I mean, you you'd have to be in order to think this is a good idea, you have to be extremely delusional, which I think there's a lot of people that are extremely delusional that run the country.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: But and in order to follow it, I mean, you're paying record diesel prices, uh, futures markets are in disarray, the entire world financial system is waiting and anticipating shock of some kind.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: So that's not good and healthy for markets, and all of that comes home to roost because you've got the breakdown of uh order, um, you've got the uh loss of certainty, and you can go back.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: One thing about America is that James Carville was right in 1992 when Bill Clinton was running against George H.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: W.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: Bush, and you say, Is the economy stupid?
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's the economy stupid, and um they botched the deal.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: And so you get the the headlines on Drudge are interesting because you you got this whole left-hand side of Trump yelling at uh the Marine One pilot, and you you gotta think that's probably true.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: The way it looks, and then you know, so much of his stuff is fake, I get it, but uh it it seems right, you know, he's yelling at the uh Marine One pilot, and I I guess this isn't the first time, but if you go back to the left-hand side on the column, it's like uh reclusive GOP billionaire pulls his money, and I don't bet he's not the only one.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: Uh Texas shock poll has Dems winning Senate and Governor race, and then the next one was AI political ads warp reality.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: So I'll pull this ad up.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: We'll just talk politics for a minute, and then I want to go.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: Uh there's a article over by Martin Armstrong over on uh activist posts uh that I want to talk about about the war bankrupting the um the West itself, which they kind of already did, but I mean we'll we'll talk about the fallout from there just a little bit, but this is the the entropy that I wanted to talk about if you're paying attention to to the political stuff.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: There is um where the the games don't work anymore.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: And you'll see what I mean.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: Uh this is the title of the headline AI political abs ads warp reality ahead of U.S.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: midterms.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: A political ad depicts U.S.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: Senate hopeful remarking on God and gender while scrawling in a Bible with a crayon.
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: But he never filmed the clip.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: It is yet another AI-generated video pushed by a rival ahead of the midterm elections.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: AI-created ads placing politicians in fictitious situations have proliferated ahead of a November election, a largely unregulated form of political communication that is increasingly being adopted despite a broader backlash.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: By the way, there will be a massive backlash on stuff like this.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: Earlier this month, a Senate nominee in Texas, Ken Paxton, posted an AI-generated ad on X depicting his Democratic rival James Tallerico, saying, Look, I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: The lifelike clip shows Tallerico writing uh, let there be six genders in a Bible with multicolored crayons.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: Overlaid text reads, James Talerico, wrong for Texas and wrong for America, with a QR code that seeks donations for Paxton.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: Uh Talerico condemned the ad, saying, They are lying about a candidate in this race and that he favored a ban on deepfakes and political campaigns.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: These AI deepfake ads don't uh add anything to our civic discord, he told uh NBC.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: Well, we see this from you know, we've seen it from the Trump administration and uh we've seen it from others running in smaller races and things, and this will be an issue.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: But what I took away from it and something to talk about is like the rhetoric that no longer works, you know, a lot of these Republicans, uh, and I know them, they are going off a playbook that no longer really exists, and they're talking to a demographic that it's unfortunately has passed away, trying to feed them political red meat to an audience that is uh it really doesn't uh doesn't uh feed off that anymore.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: So it's it is interesting to watch like the losing the grip.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: As you think of Texas, like when I was uh in fifth grade, um we had a Democratic governor, we had Ann Richards, and she lost to uh a then surprisingly um linguistically strong George W.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: Bush.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: If you go back and watch him in the in the mid-90s debating Ann Richards, he seems like really there.
- 15:52SPEAKER_00: And it's like I don't know what part he played later, but he did he didn't talk the same.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: But we had, you know, Texas was uh blue dog Democrat, and um and it just went Republican because of the Democratic Party, and you know, it it changed with blah, blah, blah.
- 16:10SPEAKER_00: All that stuff happened, but there was a demographic shift, and especially with the um rise and and the uh right-wing evangelical uh influence into politics, all that.
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: There was a massive sea change.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately, and I guess some some of it's fortunate, but unfortunately for them and the ruling class, like they didn't do a good job.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, they ran on open borders against them um and then allowed them.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: Uh they ran on economic prosperity, all these things.
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: And, you know, even despite their best efforts uh to do nothing, uh Texas still succeeded for the most part without them.
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: And it had nothing to do with uh who was in who was in charge.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: But they've ran against all these things and taken these uh wedge issues and done their best to uh to to profit off of them.
- 17:05SPEAKER_00: And then I call them grifters on patrol.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: So the GOP's finally run out of things, they did a terrible job, and they're gonna pay for that heavily.
- 17:14SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, so you watch this pendulum start swinging, and I'm being introduced because the next phase of this, folks, if you want to know what's next, is like the loss, you know, nature abhors a vacuum.
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: So when you see like the implosion of the right wing, again, I'm put this, let me put this in quotations, okay?
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: Because I would consider myself right wing, except my right wing doesn't really exist in political reality.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm more like a Gary Allen, done dare call it conspiracy.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: You know, in school, you know, or if you if you go to a university and you're unfortunately your mind is is uh molded by a Marxist professor, they will tell you that on the far left is communism and on the far right is like fascism.
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: Well, actually, those two things are both on the left.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: And if the farther right you go, there is no government, you know.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: So that's the Gary Allen spectrum.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: So I'm I'm right wing over here on the right saying, oh, I like, you know, I like uh the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: I don't believe in income tax.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: I mean, obviously I pay it, but I don't believe in uh all of these top-down programs and other things.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: I believe the freedom, but more freedom, less government.
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: I think the larger the government, the smaller the citizens.
- 18:35SPEAKER_00: So I like to reverse that order.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: So I'm more of a Gary Allen right wing.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: Well, just so we talk a little bit of parapolitics, if you're gonna know and kind of set your uh set your sights on what's next, like a signpost on the road ahead, uh, we're gonna see this lurch to the left.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: And we're gonna see, and we've already got, and I don't even know who these people are.
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: Uh I only do this for Intel, okay?
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: I'm not even taking a side, but I I saw this article over on uh uh Zero Hedge this morning, and I think there's gonna there's a popularity in this.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: This is beyond Antifa, okay?
- 19:16SPEAKER_00: This is beyond what we saw in 2020 because of the right, um, or the structured right of the conservatives.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: They've done such a poor job, and especially the leadership.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: Um they're they've left their uh their followers uh bewildered.
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: Um they've left them uh non-plussed.
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's let's put up um this article on zero hedge.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: Marxist maxing.
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like looks maxing, uh but with a Marxian uh bent.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: So Marxist max Hassan Piker.
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: It's you know the you know where you get the term Piker was uh that was the uh the term for somebody who had a had a pike, you know, like when you went into a battle, like you had a certain and like the the Pikers were the people that you put out front with the spikes.
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: And um they were the the low like you had then you had archers and then you had uh the cavalry, you know, and then you had the leadership.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: So it's like the lowest person down is a Piker.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: Just a little bit of a little bit of warfare history for you.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: But the Democratic Socialists of America's unofficial cheerleader, far left wing streamer Hassan Piker, has stated an inconvenient truth for the Democratic Party.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: Its far left fringe will eat the party alive, quite literally.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: Uh says, listen to Parker in his own words.
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: He quote, I will throw you in prison.
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: I want Chin Chinese style communism to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: I want to do cultural revolution shit.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: Now again, if you're on the whatever spectrum, and and I've heard some right-wing people say some just stupid, stupid things.
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: And I've heard some people in alt media say even stupider things.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: It's it there's level, I don't this isn't me singling anything out.
- 21:23SPEAKER_00: But when you start looking at like the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which is basically Satanism, okay, like it's it it was just a war on nothing and everything at the same time.
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: Like it was you know, intellectuals, uh people that were a certain age, people that had a certain uh tint in their hair, like it was like anything.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: It was just something that Mao did uh just to do it.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: Okay, I mean it's it pure evil.
- 21:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: It's it's if you go back and look at the history, but a lot of these Leftists, they're they like this stuff.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: And it has its roots, the the Jacobins, you know, they like this revolutionary stuff.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: And you got to pay attention to it because this guy's not alone.
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 22:13SPEAKER_00: And um the welling up in this country of being disaffected, where you don't have economic opportunity, and they've built this thing.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: So I just want to throw this out there and read a little bit of this because I don't think this is an outlier.
- 22:30SPEAKER_00: And I do think that the pendulum's about to go the other way.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: And it will be heavily funded and heavily uh supported uh to polarize.
- 22:42SPEAKER_00: So let's let's let's read on because I think this is going to get pick up a lot of steam.
- 22:48SPEAKER_00: Uh anti-communist Spencer Pratt, who really should be the anti-communist czar for the Trump administration, or whatever on that.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: Uh Biker just flat out admits he wants to imprison and kill Democrats in a literal communist revolution.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: Well, Fox News reports that a majority of registered voters view the uh DSA unfavorably as Republicans have unleashed an information operation to outline to voters that this far-left group, ri really reformist socialist, in fact, are hellbent on demolishing the nation within.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: This is nothing new.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: But if you're paying attention to what they're trying to set the stage for, it's it's it's the Hygelian dialectic, folks.
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: In order to get order out chaos, if you want order out of chaos, you have to have maximum chaos.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: The bigger the chaos, the bigger the order.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: And when you set the bar to a certain level, so if politically, if they want to get top-down socialism in the United States of America and beyond, if you want to create, if you want to rework the United States into an economic zone in the New World Order, do you want to have that uh that uh one-world totalitarian socialist government that Bill Cooper talked about?
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: Well, first you got to set the stage for it.
- 24:17SPEAKER_00: And how you would do that is you would make things so extreme on one side that the other side seems sane.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: And you would do it in a way uh that it scares the hell out of people.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: So this is, I think, one of the ways that they would do it, and especially if it catches more and more footholds and into the um colonizing the mind of younger people, and that's where the energy is, you're gonna see this pushback.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: So they're building the stage for the next uh uh again, move on the Hag Alien dialectic board, which is if something is so far extreme left, then anything that's even just left of center seems sane, which is the point.
- 25:05SPEAKER_00: In other words, we're being played.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: The national survey found 55% held an unfavorable opinion of the DSA compared with 30% who viewed it favorably.
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: Another 13% had never heard of it.
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: The findings were little changed from July when favorable and unfavorable views stood at 31%.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: They they're bringing this up.
- 25:25SPEAKER_00: If you remember in the uh in the Republican uh convention thing they held in Dallas when when when Grinder crashed, if you recall, they they were putting up pictures of this guy.
- 25:40SPEAKER_00: I never heard of.
- 25:42SPEAKER_00: And I'm plugged into this stuff, unfortunately.
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: Like my poor mind is like I I could be just you know reading philosophy or uh financial charts, but unfortunately, I do pay attention to this stuff and uh they're building it.
- 25:55SPEAKER_00: So just a little food for thought on on about half of the transmission.
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: I wanted you to understand that we're being primed for the next wave of this, so pay attention because it's not organic.
- 26:07SPEAKER_00: Um, there are people that, if you look around the country, they've been priced out of owning a home.
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: They've been the job market sucks.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, um traveling anymore is is expensive, the cost of everything goes up.
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: And, you know, even Vladimir Lenin talked about that, you know, before the Russian Revolution, you know, if you if you want to destroy a c a country, uh you first debauch its currency.
- 26:33SPEAKER_00: And those guys knew that.
- 26:35SPEAKER_00: Um that's one of the reasons they were able to, along with my historical examples, are all over this too, by the way.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: If you look at Mao, you know, uh being able to fight this long revolution that he had in China against the uh uh Chiang Hai-shek and the Chinese nationalists.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: Um 1949, the the communists were heavily supported by the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds.
- 27:02SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, that was their favorites.
- 27:04SPEAKER_00: You know, they going back to 1917, there was a playbook by the Warburgs, Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, you know, people that set up the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 in the United States, they heavily funded the uh Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
- 27:20SPEAKER_00: They heavily funded uh the rise of the of the Nazi Party and Hitler.
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: Um Anthony Sutton wrote books on it, you know, Wall Street and the the rise of Hitler and uh Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution.
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: So these are things that have in history we have examples of you know these giant conglomerates and and financiers uh funding extreme left-wing or communist uh revolutions, and they do that for control.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: So this this stage is being said, I I'm just paying attention to it.
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: And if you look at the the country right now, it's it's it's ripe for that, but it's not coming from an organic sense.
- 28:03SPEAKER_00: That's what I want to bring to your attention.
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: This isn't something that's just naturally happening on the on the world stage.
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: They're giving a a conduit and a voice to those that are uh disaffected.
- 28:18SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately, that's instead of uh you know economic opportunity, we're giving them political opportunity, which doesn't really translate well.
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Uh let me go to the chat.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: If you're over in the uh YouTube chat, I appreciate you, and thanks to all my WWCR listeners out there.
- 28:40SPEAKER_00: We we're gonna be adding a station probably next week out of Florida.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: I've been talking to iHeartRadio out there, and I'm gonna I'm gonna add that.
- 28:51SPEAKER_00: So we'll have a little bit of different format next week.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: I'll I might have a commercial break in the middle just for time.
- 28:58SPEAKER_00: And that's I'll be back on regular radio time.
- 29:01SPEAKER_00: Uh, but I promise the commercials will be fun.
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: And um we'll have uh we'll have the same kind of content.
- 29:09SPEAKER_00: Uh I see Ashley's over in the chat.
- 29:12SPEAKER_00: Uh think change repeat.
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: And um Michelle Truth9995, greetings from Germany.
- 29:21SPEAKER_00: Well, great to talk to you.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: Thanks for being on the transmission.
- 29:25SPEAKER_00: Uh uh Bronx Stopper catching wise wolf from Portadown, uh Cravington, Northern Ireland this week.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: Well, I've got some international listeners.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Well, that's uh that's humbling.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: I appreciate it.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: I had some great comments last week, and uh always means a lot when you guys comment on the on the YouTube channel.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: I don't always get back to you, but I I always read everything, so appreciate that very much.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: And then I want to check Rumble really quick.
- 29:53SPEAKER_00: If you guys have any questions that you want me to talk to, uh talk about, I I definitely will.
- 30:01SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: Uh only just a little bit over on Rumble's funny.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'll have a loaded-down chat, and sometimes um just one or two.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 30:16SPEAKER_00: It's one that says uh Amity says, I like revolutionary stuff too, but more of the brave heart William Wallace type.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm the same way.
- 30:24SPEAKER_00: You know, you you learn that from the difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
- 30:30SPEAKER_00: These are two separate things.
- 30:33SPEAKER_00: Um, the the American uh was really about building something, and the French Revolution, um, if you want to get reductionist, was about tearing something down, the Ancian regime.
- 30:46SPEAKER_00: Uh, and it was there was an energy to it.
- 30:48SPEAKER_00: There was kind of the proto-communist revolution where they just kill a bunch of people.
- 30:52SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's the they like she called it the reign of terror.
- 30:55SPEAKER_00: We didn't really have that in the United States.
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: Um, well, towards the um, you know, the second uh uh term of George Washington, you had uh citizen Janae and his representation of the new French government, and um they wanted to do the same thing in America.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: It's it has a a way, uh revolutions have a uh organic phenomenon.
- 31:19SPEAKER_00: They actually can catch like a fire, and um it can be very dangerous, but you don't want that type of revolution uh because it is destructive.
- 31:28SPEAKER_00: They don't they do a really good job at tearing things down.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: Uh uh Timber Sycamore says, uh Besson has only one option.
- 31:38SPEAKER_00: What is the game plan, Tony?
- 31:40SPEAKER_00: Uh Bessin doesn't have a lot of great options.
- 31:43SPEAKER_00: You're talking about Scott Besant, the uh treasury secretary.
- 31:46SPEAKER_00: He's buying back these long-term bonds, and the bond market is it's not doing well.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: Um you know, you got it inflation with higher rates, so you have uh higher yields, but things aren't acting the way that they used to.
- 32:02SPEAKER_00: I talked to Dave and Knight about that um as far as uh gold is concerned.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: Bitcoin's up 33% over the past two months.
- 32:10SPEAKER_00: It went up with the uh the Fed decision to raise rates by 25 basis points, and a lot of this can sound really uh boring, except the for the fact that we're outside of historical norms now, and they don't have a lot of room to move, whether it's the Fed or whether it's the Treasury.
- 32:28SPEAKER_00: You have a trend of not only governments and central banks and like the Chinese, they they've already ordered 1,200 tons of gold uh this year, imported that much.
- 32:42SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, the total gold holdings of the U.S.
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: is a little over 8,000 tons.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, just do the math on that.
- 32:49SPEAKER_00: Um the world is moving away from the dollar system, and there's nothing that Scott Besson can do about that.
- 32:55SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, he's made it worse.
- 32:57SPEAKER_00: Um, not only the the sanctions that we continue to impose or the weaponization or threats of tariffs on countries that don't use the dollar, like all these things are not in our favor.
- 33:08SPEAKER_00: You you can perhaps buy yourself a little bit of time by staying liquid, uh, but at the end of the day, the world's gonna move to a different system and is moving to a different system.
- 33:18SPEAKER_00: Even look at like ETF inflows, gold up, uh Bitcoin up on inflows into ETFs.
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: I think we're just getting started.
- 33:28SPEAKER_00: Like a lot of the prices are you know, as far as gold and silver are completely discounted right now.
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: Um even think about this, like even in the face of raising interest rates and supposing having this great economy and oil being you know$100 a barrel, gold's still you know close to$4,300.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: And you know, I started my business, gold was uh like$1,100.
- 33:55SPEAKER_00: So, you know, uh you don't have to be a genius to figure out when you have uh overvalued stocks, you're on the edge of a bubble, um, you've increased and inflated the money supply to unprecedented rates, global debts$365 trillion.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: Uh there's not a lot of maneuverability there.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: So I don't think he has a lot of great.
- 34:18SPEAKER_00: Like what you could do, you could do bold things.
- 34:21SPEAKER_00: I read an article uh uh last week by uh quote the Raven over on Substack, and he was talking about if you reevaluated all of our gold, you know, you could reset it to like$155,000 an ounce or some crazy number.
- 34:38SPEAKER_00: And that may be true, um, and they may have to do something like that, but eventually in order to get away with all of the unfunded liabilities and entitlements and the uh the welfare warfare state, if they were to repeg the dollar to something stable, then you'd have to have a financial conversation.
- 34:57SPEAKER_00: And this country's not ready for that.
- 34:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're about to get a new crop of leftists and and infused into our governmental system, and they they subscribe to the uh the MMT, which is the modern monetary theory, which is basically that, and by the way, Dick Cheney said this that deficits don't matter.
- 35:18SPEAKER_00: We're about to find out if you can print endlessly and buy things endlessly and not have um catastrophic economic consequences.
- 35:28SPEAKER_00: We're about to find that out, aren't we?
- 35:30SPEAKER_00: Um and it's only the beginning.
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: Like I said, notice the trends.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: The trends become angrier, uh, whether it's left or right.
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: And both of these sides, I believe, uh are heavily um pushed.
- 35:46SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, like again, nobody's pushing my show because I'm talking about being reasonable, having some sort of like trying to find out where the wisdom and everything is.
- 35:56SPEAKER_00: Like, that's not that's not gonna get good play.
- 35:58SPEAKER_00: Well, you talk about imprisoning people and doing that kind of stuff.
- 36:01SPEAKER_00: I mean you talk about real revolutions, uh kind of a bloodletting.
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, it'll get some play, you know, on both sides, by the way.
- 36:09SPEAKER_00: But they're gonna be pushing for this pendulum to swing.
- 36:14SPEAKER_00: And again, it's all it's all for the ends to keep us uh fighting amongst ourselves and not realizing like who our actual enemy is.
- 36:23SPEAKER_00: If you want to have an enemy, you know, who who are you what's the challenge that you actually face?
- 36:29SPEAKER_00: You know, what's in the way?
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: Uh that's a better question, you know.
- 36:34SPEAKER_00: And I think we have more in common than we have uh the differences when it comes to that.
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 36:43SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, broken system, metals, and bitcoin.
- 36:46SPEAKER_00: Uh thank you for the reply, Tony.
- 36:48SPEAKER_00: Well, you're welcome.
- 36:49SPEAKER_00: Um is Warsh breaking away from Trump theater?
- 36:55SPEAKER_00: It it all leads to the printer.
- 36:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think who would want that job?
- 36:59SPEAKER_00: Well, you would you want to be uh chairman Walsh?
- 37:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, would you want that job?
- 37:03SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't want that job.
- 37:05SPEAKER_00: Um you know, and preside like that's like a game of musical chairs.
- 37:11SPEAKER_00: Who gets to preside over the uh the collapse of the system?
- 37:15SPEAKER_00: Like I wouldn't want that.
- 37:16SPEAKER_00: Um but you're we're we're at end end game of whatever the experiment that was set in 1971, folks, we're at the end game of that.
- 37:26SPEAKER_00: Uh and I'm not saying it's it's collapse.
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: I'm saying that they have to do something different.
- 37:33SPEAKER_00: And that's why you go back to um, you know, 2019, 2018, when I was talking about the great reset long before you ever heard that term uh on, you know, after COVID-1984, um, that was, you know, World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, everybody talked about that afterwards.
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: I was talking about that beforehand.
- 37:54SPEAKER_00: And um I think silver was$16 an ounce or something.
- 37:58SPEAKER_00: And I I was talking about this stuff that was gonna be now, like that we're talking about now.
- 38:03SPEAKER_00: So it, you know, um, it is a a feta complet in some respects that we're gonna have to go through a reset of sorts.
- 38:15SPEAKER_00: And um it only is because of mathematics.
- 38:17SPEAKER_00: I mean, you just you don't get around it, you know.
- 38:20SPEAKER_00: It's um reminds me of the movie Nixon uh when Al Haig's talking to him in the in the Lincoln sitting room, and he's like, uh the Supreme Court ordered your tapes, Mr.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: President.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: And he's like, uh, is there any way around that, Al?
- 38:35SPEAKER_00: He's like, it's Supreme Court, sir.
- 38:37SPEAKER_00: You don't get around it.
- 38:38SPEAKER_00: You know, it's kind of like that.
- 38:39SPEAKER_00: You don't get around math.
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 38:42SPEAKER_00: Speaking of math, well, let's let's go to this article over on uh Activist Post.
- 38:50SPEAKER_00: And if you haven't checked out Activist Post, please do so.
- 38:53SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm a proud sponsor over there.
- 38:55SPEAKER_00: My friend Charlie Robinson put this together.
- 38:57SPEAKER_00: It's a great site.
- 38:58SPEAKER_00: He does a lot, he does a lot of good curating of interesting articles, too.
- 39:04SPEAKER_00: And you can subscribe to his uh newsletter over there.
- 39:07SPEAKER_00: Let me put this up.
- 39:08SPEAKER_00: I like Martin Armstrong and his Socrates program.
- 39:13SPEAKER_00: And he just asked the question, which I think is a good question to ask: will war bankrupt the West?
- 39:20SPEAKER_00: War and sovereign debt are merging into a vicious spiral that will determine which nations will survive the coming monetary crisis.
- 39:30SPEAKER_00: Governments entered the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, along with the escalating confrontation between the United States and China, already buried beneath debt accumulated through decades of fiscal incompetence.
- 39:44SPEAKER_00: Now they are increasing military spending, subsidizing domestic industries, restructuring supply chains, and borrowing even more money to prepare for conflicts their own foreign policies help create.
- 39:58SPEAKER_00: Isn't that true?
- 40:00SPEAKER_00: And you have to wonder how much of it is a game, right?
- 40:04SPEAKER_00: Like I remember reading articles from the early 90s from Gore Vidal, who was, you know, people called him the gay Pat Buchanan, but he he had a he had a like a really first principled, almost uh quasi-paleo-conservative take on foreign policy, even being from the left.
- 40:22SPEAKER_00: That's why I always enjoyed, and he was a magnificent writer, you know, nobody writes like Gore.
- 40:29SPEAKER_00: But he he had a lot of great ideas, and he called one of his articles was for um, and he was bewildered why we didn't do it.
- 40:37SPEAKER_00: But after the fall of the Soviet Union, he wondered why we didn't have some sort of economic union with Russia.
- 40:44SPEAKER_00: Like there are vast natural resources, their advances in technology and you know, space and nuclear and other other things, like we had a shared commonality having run the world.
- 40:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, under the Cold War system, nobody really did anything without the say-so of the United States and the Soviet Empire.
- 41:02SPEAKER_00: And so Gore was asking a really important question: like, why don't we have some sort of economic union?
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: I mean, people need challenges, you've got to build stuff.
- 41:10SPEAKER_00: And if you don't have that outlet for people to build something, to create something, uh, to have a challenge, whether it be, you know, the skyscrapers or the you know the modern industrial base or space or something like you're gonna have war.
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: And I think he was wise for figuring that out because our leaders that they're not real imaginative.
- 41:33SPEAKER_00: I mean, they see us as pawns.
- 41:36SPEAKER_00: Henry Kissinger uh referred to most people in the third world as useless eaters, so that kind of transfers on to pretty much anybody that's not in the ruling class to them.
- 41:48SPEAKER_00: The United States, China, France, the United Kingdom, and Japan have already carried gross government debt exceeding an entire year of economic output.
- 41:58SPEAKER_00: Russia has drained much of its national wealth fund to finance the war in Ukraine, while Western governments froze approximately$300 billion in Russian sovereign assets.
- 42:08SPEAKER_00: Gulf states are being forced to expand defense spending amid the conflict with Iran, and Europe has committed itself to raising NATO-related expenditures towards 5% of GDP by 2035.
- 42:21SPEAKER_00: Trump wants to increase annual defense spending by$500 billion to reach$1.5 trillion, but Washington is already borrowing simply to pay interest on the debt it accumulated before this latest round of wars began.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: That's another trend to pay attention to.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: You know, and I talk about this often, but we really don't even talk about the fiscal responsibility.
- 42:50SPEAKER_00: That's not on the table.
- 42:51SPEAKER_00: If you notice, like these uh even these Republicans running now, they're not really running against the the spending because they like to spend just as much as the Democrats just on different things.
- 43:01SPEAKER_00: You know, they want to spend it on uh they want to spend it on the military industrial complex, which you can, you know, do the welfare warfare state or wars of choice or whatever it is, but they never really slow down anything.
- 43:17SPEAKER_00: Um we got beans is uh alarmed at the door.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: Hold on, bing bing.
- 43:26SPEAKER_00: I think come here, you guys, this is why I have a little dog.
- 43:32SPEAKER_03: Come here.
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: Hold on, let me grab her.
- 43:35SPEAKER_03: Come here.
- 43:40SPEAKER_00: Sorry, folks.
- 43:44SPEAKER_00: We're live at the shop in Denison, and uh beans are something she didn't like, which is this is her job.
- 43:50SPEAKER_00: She keeps us safe from uh woodland creatures, bad vibes, and intruders.
- 43:54SPEAKER_00: Nobody's coming in here.
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: Uh okay.
- 43:58SPEAKER_00: Anyway, um Where what I'm talking about fiscal uh catastrophic breakdown.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but that's nobody talks about that anymore.
- 44:06SPEAKER_00: And I think the issue that we're gonna have to face is that eventually, you know, if you even if you go from we went from like a$700 billion defense budget and Trump wants to take it to$1.5 trillion.
- 44:19SPEAKER_00: I mean, it sounds uh like we've really increased the budget, but you have to add in the loss of purchasing power from the dollar and all that.
- 44:27SPEAKER_00: These are just numbers on a screen at some point.
- 44:29SPEAKER_00: But we're so far past the debt to GDP ratio, which is, I think, that's the issue.
- 44:37SPEAKER_00: And now we're spending like on World War II levels without any sort of maneuverability.
- 44:43SPEAKER_00: So these people speak about military spending as if the money materializes from their own, from thin air without consequences.
- 44:51SPEAKER_00: Government does not possess wealth of its own.
- 44:54SPEAKER_00: Every missile, drone, weapons package, foreign aid program, and military deployment must be financed through taxation, borrowing or inflation.
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: Taxation drains the productive economy.
- 45:07SPEAKER_00: Borrowing competes for private capital, and inflation silently confiscates purchasing power from everyone.
- 45:14SPEAKER_00: Politicians choose debt because it conceals the cost until after the election, allowing them to play emperor today while leaving future generations with the bill.
- 45:29SPEAKER_00: Guard Goldsmith in the chat.
- 45:31SPEAKER_00: Great job.
- 45:32SPEAKER_00: I did a save there, but we got you know, we got beans uh to help, and you might hear beans every once in a while on the show.
- 45:38SPEAKER_00: It's a rare treat, you know.
- 45:39SPEAKER_00: She she does keep me safe.
- 45:42SPEAKER_00: Uh and that's another I I think Guard would uh agree with me.
- 45:47SPEAKER_00: Now, if you follow political trends, one thing that we we abandon the fiscal talk, which I think is probably that's the elephant in the room, right?
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: Trying to keep if I don't keep beans on my lap, she's gonna go to the door and get mad at somebody.
- 46:01SPEAKER_00: But that's the that's the issue.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: Um guards laughing in the chat.
- 46:06SPEAKER_00: We we definitely abandon fiscal responsibility, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: And if you look at the underlying trends, which is something I bring up all the time, you look at where the rest of the world is headed, uh, you can do something similar on a micro level, like a personal level.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: And that's what I'm doing.
- 46:27SPEAKER_00: Like outside of the system is going to be more important than ever.
- 46:30SPEAKER_00: Like being able to uh house value in something, especially in all this chaos, is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.
- 46:40SPEAKER_00: And I'm not doing an infomercial on gold and silver.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you what the rest of the world's doing.
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Guard says, I was telling friends to watch for the uh property foreclosures and auctions that are coming.
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, the the rise of bankruptcies, uh, credit card debt.
- 46:56SPEAKER_00: If if you look at what the average consumer and like what the burden's being placed on them, this is a house of cards.
- 47:03SPEAKER_00: And so you can talk about you know doubling the defense budget or you know, uh the spending that they don't have any governors on anymore.
- 47:11SPEAKER_00: I don't even know why we have a debt ceiling debate.
- 47:13SPEAKER_00: At this point, it's it's all bets are off until they aren't.
- 47:17SPEAKER_00: So that's the thing is um we go back to something that uh uh Pat Buchanan talked about, you know, with uh the law of of you something if something cannot go on forever, it will stop.
- 47:35SPEAKER_00: It's like it's based off an old speechwriter for Nixon.
- 47:38SPEAKER_00: I'll have to think of the of the term, it's uh off the top of my head.
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: But it's it's something that uh if we don't you know truly understand what's next, then we get caught flat-footed, which is the whole point of the program and why I do these shows is that I want to have a discussion on what is actually happening.
- 47:56SPEAKER_00: Like then you'll find in these corners of the internet.
- 47:58SPEAKER_00: Like you can get on and listen to Martin Armstrong, and then you're gonna get some real reality.
- 48:02SPEAKER_00: If you turn on mainstream media, they're gonna give you an excuse of why they can continue to do this and why it makes sense.
- 48:08SPEAKER_00: But you're again, you're still you're in Plato's cave.
- 48:13SPEAKER_00: The yield on the 10-year U.S.
- 48:15SPEAKER_00: Treasury has nearly tripled over five years to 4.3%, which means Washington is financing a vastly larger debt at a far higher interest rate.
- 48:27SPEAKER_00: This is elementary mathematics that the political class refuses to confront.
- 48:32SPEAKER_00: A government may survive$10 trillion in debt when rates are near zero, but the same fiscal structure becomes impossible when the debt multiplies and borrowing costs normalize.
- 48:43SPEAKER_00: Every additional dollar devoted to interest is a dollar that it cannot maintain infrastructure, reduce taxes, or support genuine economic development.
- 48:53SPEAKER_00: Government then borrows more to cover the interest, increasing the debt that created the problem in the first place.
- 49:00SPEAKER_00: The attempt to separate national economies from geopolitical rivals will impose another enormous cost.
- 49:06SPEAKER_00: Europe abandoned cheap Russian energy and then wondered why its industries become uncompetitive.
- 49:14SPEAKER_00: The West wants to reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturing and rare earths, but rebuilding those supply chains will require subsidies, tariff controls, and years of expensive investment.
- 49:25SPEAKER_00: Iran's position around the Strait of Hormuz demonstrates how quickly a regional conflict can threaten a route that previously carried roughly one-fifth of the world's daily oil supply.
- 49:37SPEAKER_00: Every attempt to create economic security through political coercion raises prices, reduces efficiency, and demands still more government borrowing.
- 49:49SPEAKER_00: That's a good synopsis, don't you think?
- 49:53SPEAKER_00: At the end of the day, that's a really good synopsis.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: I mean, you once a government gets into borrowing to pay the interest on what it already borrowed, and there is no more maneuverability, as he mentioned, you know.
- 50:10SPEAKER_00: If you look at the charts, too, it was something really fascinating.
- 50:13SPEAKER_00: We hit$365 trillion in global debt.
- 50:16SPEAKER_00: That's sovereign global debt that that happened last week.
- 50:19SPEAKER_00: And it's funny because I was on a show a couple weeks ago and I was talking about that number and I quoted it low.
- 50:25SPEAKER_00: I think I was like at 335, but it's just going up so fast.
- 50:30SPEAKER_00: But if you look at uh the debt of the US, you can actually follow the debt and the price of gold, and um and you see how that they correlate.
- 50:42SPEAKER_00: Like if you look at uh the price of gold in the year 2000 was around$300 uh so dollars an ounce, and the debt was around$5 trillion.
- 50:52SPEAKER_00: And it again, it took us all of our history to hit that$5 trillion.
- 50:55SPEAKER_00: But by 2000 and I believe it was 10, the debt of the U.S.
- 51:02SPEAKER_00: was$10 trillion, and the price of gold was around$1,500.
- 51:08SPEAKER_00: And then you look at the price again and look at 2020, and we hit$20 trillion.
- 51:16SPEAKER_00: And after 2020, all bets are off.
- 51:20SPEAKER_00: And that's where you're finding price discovery right now.
- 51:23SPEAKER_00: That's why it's just insane because you look at the correlation between the price of gold to the to the fixed price, well, to the to the dollars and and denominated in dollars, and you look at the rising debt, but look how fast the debt doubles.
- 51:41SPEAKER_00: You can go back and look at the chart, and then the year 2020, we hit$2,000 an ounce uh for gold.
- 51:47SPEAKER_00: That's the first time we ever did.
- 51:48SPEAKER_00: We as a matter of fact, I I was live on air.
- 51:51SPEAKER_00: It was August 6, 2020, when that happened.
- 51:55SPEAKER_00: Uh I was hosting for David uh down in Austin on InfoWars.
- 51:59SPEAKER_00: So anyway, just look at that correlation, and you can see you know, these markers in time when we hit a certain debt level, it wasn't that long ago, you know, we were, I guess, I guess it was what, 2022, that we were about 30 trillion.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: So we've gone this massive uh you know doubling in debt again from 2020 or so to where we are now, 40 trillion in debt, and the price of gold uh was over 5,000 this year.
- 52:27SPEAKER_00: The only reason we don't have you know$6,000 an ounce gold is because of uh Trump's war of choice uh with Iran.
- 52:37SPEAKER_00: That's why we have uh you know oil over$100 a barrel.
- 52:41SPEAKER_00: And it's not just the the oil went to$100 a barrel, folks.
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: It's it's again, it's talking about one-fifth of the oil supply moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
- 52:50SPEAKER_00: That is a a disruption in the futures market and the supply chain itself.
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: So a lot of things are not only do you see like the refining issue where uh diesel has now hit a record high, and uh God knows I I have to I have to I bought a diesel trollway.
- 53:09SPEAKER_00: I love diesel, but you know, I'm paying you know six dollars a gallon in some places in the country because of the fuel taxes in places like California at nine plus dollars a gallon, and that's just based off of refining capacity and futures.
- 53:24SPEAKER_00: That's not even really the the aspect of the cost of the price of crude has not really even reached that yet.
- 53:34SPEAKER_00: So the conflict, you know, continues, which I believe that it will, if we get into a scenario where we're reaching, like the Iranians think we're gonna reach$150 a barrel.
- 53:45SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, there's no telling what the price of any of this stuff's gonna be.
- 53:50SPEAKER_00: We're in price discovery for everything.
- 53:53SPEAKER_00: Uh it's interesting, though, and the point that I was making with David Knight, just a little bit on the financial stuff.
- 53:59SPEAKER_00: A lot of the things that used to make a difference don't make a difference anymore.
- 54:04SPEAKER_00: I mean, even with the the bond yields being so high, people are still moving into gold.
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: Uh the world's moving into gold.
- 54:11SPEAKER_00: Something to pay attention to.
- 54:13SPEAKER_00: This isn't this isn't a fad, by the way.
- 54:16SPEAKER_00: This is a remaking, historic remaking of the entire economic world order.
- 54:23SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 54:25SPEAKER_00: I'll go back to the chat.
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: Uh guard guard says, uh, we can use Fed Reserve notes when we can't buy toilet paper.
- 54:35SPEAKER_00: Hey, we saw that in 2020.
- 54:38SPEAKER_00: Uh that's another one of those things.
- 54:41SPEAKER_00: Was it wasn't that had to be some sort of like humiliation ritual psy-off that we did or they did, uh, to the American people?
- 54:49SPEAKER_00: Like all those people going to Costco and backing their truck up to get toilet paper.
- 54:55SPEAKER_00: I remember that.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: I'm like, is this first of all, how much of it was real?
- 54:59SPEAKER_00: Like, who was doing that?
- 55:00SPEAKER_00: And I people did.
- 55:01SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
- 55:02SPEAKER_00: That was something from some some guy in a basement uh of the NSA writing out that uh that play for sure.
- 55:13SPEAKER_00: Uh Dustin Helm says they will keep printing money until they run out of paper.
- 55:18SPEAKER_00: That's exactly right.
- 55:20SPEAKER_00: And then uh Timber Sycamore says, as a zoomer, leaving this country seems one of the only good moves left on the chessboard.
- 55:28SPEAKER_00: Uh good job, uh no home.
- 55:31SPEAKER_00: Boomers are printing zeros on screens at light speed.
- 55:35SPEAKER_00: That's that's what they do.
- 55:38SPEAKER_00: Well, you live in a it's interesting, like this is one of those times in history like you're living inside the phantom zone where you're the you're in the in-between.
- 55:48SPEAKER_00: Like you know something's on the horizon and you definitely want to prepare for it the best that you can.
- 55:54SPEAKER_00: You also got to live your life.
- 55:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, you you know, you can't you can't just run around um on in a state of high anxiety all the time.
- 56:02SPEAKER_00: It'll kill you.
- 56:02SPEAKER_00: So you can't be just anticipating every um every monster under the bed.
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: Um, but it is it is a strange time to live in.
- 56:10SPEAKER_00: We're living in the in-between, folks.
- 56:12SPEAKER_00: I I can definitely feel that.
- 56:14SPEAKER_00: Um so I my heart goes out to everybody.
- 56:17SPEAKER_00: If you're trying to make sense of it all, believe me, I am too.
- 56:21SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 56:22SPEAKER_00: Also make sure I didn't miss anybody.
- 56:28SPEAKER_00: Tuboku over in the Rumble chat says, Do you think Americans are going to willingly switch over to the Trump family stable coin?
- 56:34SPEAKER_00: No, I don't.
- 56:36SPEAKER_00: I don't.
- 56:37SPEAKER_00: Uh I I think we're again, I think the beginning of the show, like we're we're being put into a uh a possibility of a manufactured internal revolution in the country.
- 56:50SPEAKER_00: And uh we're at the end uh of this whatever experiment of MAGA and all that stuff.
- 56:57SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, it it it ended, it's gonna end with a whimper, not a bang.
- 57:04SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 57:04SPEAKER_00: And I don't think um I don't think there's much we can do internally.
- 57:09SPEAKER_00: I think the the the political aspect of the country is gonna have to sort itself out for a while.
- 57:15SPEAKER_00: And I'm not sure exactly what that means.
- 57:17SPEAKER_00: Uh Michelle Truth995.
- 57:19SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Tony.
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: Always appreciate your balanced opinion.
- 57:22SPEAKER_00: I appreciate it.
- 57:22SPEAKER_00: I I the only dog I have in a fight is for truth and what makes people's lives better.
- 57:28SPEAKER_00: I try to glean out of any of this stuff like something we can learn.
- 57:33SPEAKER_00: And I thought this was interesting, the article that Martin Armstrong put up, and I've been following him for years.
- 57:41SPEAKER_00: But it is something to pay attention to.
- 57:43SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, we talked about this on America Unplugged, um, where I think it was last week, you know, where NATO is is in the European Union is is preparing their infrastructure for war.
- 57:57SPEAKER_00: It's the only thing they have left.
- 57:59SPEAKER_00: You know, um something that Gerald Salente talks about is like when people uh lose everything, they they lose it.
- 58:08SPEAKER_00: And um, you know, they got to get out ahead of that.
- 58:11SPEAKER_00: I mean uh you know, organize, the state organizes for war.
- 58:14SPEAKER_00: It's like talking to Mr.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: X on the movie JFK, you know, and he's sitting on the park bench.
- 58:20SPEAKER_00: You know, the uh the number one organizing mechanism for the state is is war.
- 58:25SPEAKER_00: So always pay attention to that.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: Uh well we're just ending a little bit uh a little bit close here to the end of the transmission, and Beans is gonna let's see if she does it.
- 58:40SPEAKER_00: I let her off my lap.
- 58:41SPEAKER_00: She was not happy, wants to know who's outside the door and what she needs to do.
- 58:48SPEAKER_00: That's why she's beans the brave, ladies and gentlemen.
- 58:50SPEAKER_00: Uh let's let's look at gold prices really quick.
- 58:53SPEAKER_00: Today, the yellow metal,$4,251 per troy ounce.
- 58:57SPEAKER_00: Silver$63.24.
- 59:01SPEAKER_00: Uh takes$63.24 at Luciferian Bankster notes to make a troy ounce of silver.
- 59:06SPEAKER_00: Uh silver's on sale today, folks.
- 59:10SPEAKER_00: Oh, we got that's what we got.
- 59:11SPEAKER_00: We got a that's what it was.
- 59:12SPEAKER_00: It was a little dog.
- 59:14SPEAKER_00: It's another little dog.
- 59:15SPEAKER_00: I wonder if it's a really big guy out there with a little dog beans.
- 59:18SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
- 59:19SPEAKER_00: Probably.
- 59:21SPEAKER_00: Let's look at the price of Bitcoin and pull that up real quick.
- 59:28SPEAKER_00: You know, it's funny, I don't even pay attention to the price of Bitcoin much.
- 59:32SPEAKER_00: I just know where it's going.
- 59:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 84,492.
- 59:38SPEAKER_00: Again, it's up 33%.
- 59:40SPEAKER_00: It didn't uh interest rates made Bitcoin go up.
- 59:44SPEAKER_00: So all these things that are supposed to make um the debasement trade lose value have uh not succeeded.
- 59:51SPEAKER_00: The only thing that's really succeeding in devaluing things is uh Trump's war, uh Operation Epstein Fury.
- 59:58SPEAKER_00: That's that's really driving, um making a mess of the of the commodities markets, but not forever.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_00: Just remember that, folks.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_00: Uh it's not forever.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_00: These are price discovery moments, and we're in a transitionary period.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_00: So stay frosty.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_00: I appreciate each and every one of you.
- 1:00:16SPEAKER_00: I'll be back next week.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_00: Don't forget America Unplugged here on the America Unplugged channel on Rumble.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_00: Um, on my on my ex at Tony Arderburn and uh YouTube and Donald Jeffries YouTube will be live on Saturday, uh noon Eastern.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_00: So come join us over there.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_00: You guys take care of each other.
- 1:00:37SPEAKER_00: End of transmission.
