Speaker 1 (00:00):
Music and the truth until dawn.
Right now I've got a few wordsfor some of our brothers and
sisters in the occupied zone.
The chair is against the wall.
The chair is against the wall.
John has a long mustache.
John has a long mustache.
It's 12 o'clock, americans,another day closer to victory.
And for all of you out there onor behind the lines, this is
(00:21):
your song.
I'm weathered, I wait.
This is your song.
Time, weather and climate.
Veteran of three foreign wars,entrepreneur and warrior, poet
(00:41):
Tony Arterburn takes on theissues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterbor RadioTransmission.
(01:02):
You've got to love it when theintro cuts out mid-feed.
Well, wasn't happening then.
You wouldn't know it was real.
Welcome to the art of burnradio transmission.
Ladies and gents, I am your host, tony arterburn, unscathed,
unaffected by the continualtechnical glitches.
When I show up to my either mybranson or my texas studio.
I, though on the horizon.
(01:24):
I'm going to put so much effortinto building my Texas studio
that maybe nothing will everhappen there.
Maybe we'll just split it inhalf, maybe it'll just be 50-50.
But glad to be back.
We are live.
I've got Beans the Brave instudio.
We've got more articles than Ican cover, which is always good
news, and I'm going to jumpright into it.
(01:45):
Ladies and gents, we've got theheadlines of Drudge are meant
to, I think, misdirect you andof course, we're going to cover
what's happened with the falloutof MAGA.
And I want to get into a littlebit more on Epstein, because my
friend, don Jeffries has anarticle that's published on
(02:08):
lewrockwellcom.
But if you look at Drudge andyou look at the aggregation of
news, which is what I studybecause I want to see what are
you supposed to be payingattention to, right, what do
they want your eyes on?
And then what do they want younoting?
But again, revelation of themethod having things available
for you to consume.
But you were told about it.
But let's not exactly go there.
(02:30):
And I I want to talk a littlebit about this notion that trump
is going to fire jerome powell,head of the federal reserve.
Chairman of the Reserve.
And if you go into a searchengine, which I've done here in
the last hour I was talking toTravis Knight over on the David
(02:52):
Knight Show earlier today and wegot into this a little bit,
because the question arises isnot whether or not Trump will
fire Jerome Powell, but if yougo into a search engine and you
just type in can a president andit fills in, it auto-fills the
rest can a president fire a Fedchair?
(03:12):
Now in this question exposesabout 90% of what's wrong with
our culture and the West andwhat happened to our beloved
republic, what happened to oursociety.
It's about 90% right there.
Just that question alone.
Because the magic trick ofmoney which is why I do what I
(03:36):
do, why I'm in precious metals,why I'm in Bitcoin and why I do
these broadcasts and shows I dothese broadcasts and shows.
If you follow that, if youunderstand the origin story,
like G Edward Griffin wrote thebook the Creature from Jekyll
(03:57):
Island, it is a creature andthat is a true story.
November 22, 1910, the mostpowerful financiers in the world
conspired to meet on thisisland, outside of the coast of
Georgia, jekyll Island.
You can still go there.
You can actually see the roomin which they met.
But it was an actual conspiracy.
It wasn't even talked about foryears and years later.
(04:18):
And others representing thepolitical establishment, aldrich
, senator Aldrich, who marriedinto the Rockefeller family.
So the Rockefellers werepresent at that as well, and it
was a design to create a centralbank.
Now we hadn't had a central bankin the country since Andrew
(04:40):
Jackson killed the second bankin the United States.
He actually wanted that on histombstone.
You can go look this up.
He thought that theinternational banksters were and
he knew, just like ThomasJefferson knew, they were a
threat to freedom, they're athreat to free society, they're
a threat to a republic becausethey hijacked the power
structure and they do it throughstealth.
(05:02):
And Andrew Jackson said you'rea den of vipers and thieves,
I'll route you out.
And he did.
He routed them out.
He would not renew the charterfor the second bank of the
United States.
So we did not have a centralbank in this country from 1836
to 1913.
And when they brought it backbecause that was always the
ultimate goal was to gaincontrol over the money supply.
(05:24):
When they brought it back,because that was always the
ultimate goal was to gaincontrol over the money supply,
when they brought it back, theydidn't call it a bank, they
didn't call it centralized anddo any of that.
They were very clever.
Language is important, thewords you use, because, again,
that's why it's magic right?
Because that's why words youhave spelling when you spell a
word.
So they used that and thenomenclature came out to federal
(05:48):
, and it's not federal, and areserve and there's no reserve.
It's literally just a hijackingof the money supply.
And you go back to somethingthat the Rothschild said.
The mayor, I'm sure Rothschild,said I care not who sits on the
British throne, the person whocontrols the British empire is
the person who controls theBritish money supply and I
control the British money supply.
That's a real quote from the19th century.
(06:11):
And if you look into moderndocuments like Silent Weapons
for Quiet Wars, I mean, there'san esoteric meaning.
It's actually a siphoning ofenergy and you can go down the
rabbit hole.
It's not just economics, but weget into this modern, you know,
political theater, which ismore and more apparent.
(06:36):
If you're, if you're stillplugged in like left right and I
pray for you.
It's beyond that.
I cover politics for the samereason that I cover anything
else.
It's for the lack ofintelligence and that's kind of
a built-in joke, but I cover itfor the intel.
I cover it because Sun Tzu saidto know your enemy.
So that's what I look at.
(06:57):
All of that is baked into thesystem.
That is a trick, if you will,and you have this question
popping up.
Will Trump fire Jerome Powell?
Well, if you go to this articleon Zero Hedge, just a few
things I want to read.
He said what happens if Trumpfires Powell.
Let me put this on the screenbecause there's a story in here
(07:21):
that I found it reminded me I'dread this before, but it'd been.
It'd been a while.
I was reminded of a story fromthe 1960s and of course you can
go back, and Jim Mars broughtthis up more than once.
But you know he said that JFKand Lincoln were the only two
(07:45):
presidents to ever create notesdirectly from the treasury.
You know they lincoln had thegreenback and then of course,
jfk and I've bought some ofthese and give them away to
family members and others butthey in 1963 he was printing
five dollar notes direct fromthe Treasury for the money
(08:05):
supply and, of course, silvercertificates that weren't
Federal Reserve notes.
You can look on them and everynote today that you have says
Federal Reserve note.
And Jim Mars brought that up.
He said Lincoln and Kennedywere the only two presidents to
ever print notes directly fromthe Treasury and they both were
shot in the head in public.
That's true and of course, jfkpissed off.
(08:28):
Uh, all the right people.
You know, um, the cia, themilitary industrial complex, the
israelis, the federal reserve,uh, just about everybody, the
mob.
So you know.
So you'll know them by theirenemies.
Let me put put this up.
This is interesting and we'regoing to get into a little bit
(08:48):
of precious metals too.
Today, some pair of politics,precious metals.
I've got an article fromActivist Post.
I think it's a sign of thetimes.
I want to go over with you onBitcoin and then we'll jump into
my friend Don Jeffrey's articleon Epstein.
He's always got a love Don'stake on things.
(09:09):
It says as DB Jim reads recaps.
It lasted just under than anhour, but yesterday we got a
glimpse of what might happen ifthe Trump administration removed
Powell from office, usingprobabilities from polymarket.
Of course, this talks about theeconomic fallout.
(09:29):
It says in the mid-60 minutebetween CBS story broke that
Trump was considering firingPowell to the qualifying denial,
the probability of Powell beingousted by the end of the year
increased by about 15 points to38%.
Over this period, the 10-yearTreasury bond yields climbed
(09:51):
around five basis points.
It's interesting you saw thaton the heels of this threat to
fire Powell, silver jumped up to$39 on spot, which is another
thing I'm going to get into herein a minute.
There's another reason for that,not just the hike and the
(10:13):
probability at least theperceived probability of Powell
being ousted, but there's areason why the markets responded
that way and the reason is isbecause trump wants to take the
monetary supply and increase it,that's the expansion of the
currency through inflation,through lowering rates, because
(10:35):
they're just going to dumpliquidity into this market.
And it is interesting to seethis power struggle maybe it is
a perceived power strugglebetween the establishment and
the other establishment.
It's like the two mafia housesfighting over control, like with
the tariffs and other things,because the Fed is at least the
(10:58):
perceived hawkishness on keepingrates stable.
Now Jerome Powell raised ratesfaster than any time in history,
faster than any other Fed chair, even Paul Volcker, who had him
up to the teens at one time inthe late 1970s, early 1980s.
That was meant to curtail theNixon shock of going off the
gold standard in 1971.
(11:19):
We had such massive inflationand Jerome Powell has raised
rates faster.
Faster I mean 25 basis pointsat a time.
And trump wants to take thosedown to near zero again, which
would just have this red hoteffect on liquidity dumping
everywhere.
The problem with that is in theaftermath.
We're already you know we'vealready had the pat past the
(11:43):
point of no return on fiscal.
I don't want to, you know, Idon't want to be too blackfield
or, you know, go be toodisparaging on that.
But there's a reason why I dowhat I do and talk about the
issues that I talk about,because there's no turning back
at this point.
I mean the dollar, the world'sde-dollarizing.
They're dumping it.
(12:05):
Those dollars will berepatriated and the government
will continue to borrow fromitself, like a snake eating its
own tail and then print andyou're left holding the back.
They hope that you'll continueto use their product.
I want to skip around down hereon this article, though, and it
(12:32):
just had a nice blurb from ablast from the past.
It says, then again, all ofthis is purely a theoretical
thought experiment than ananalysis grounded in reality.
Because of uh, because of thiswhole political pressure as a
myth on whether or not the fedchair can be removed.
But he says what's currentlyunfolding before our eyes has
(12:54):
been happening for decadesbehind closed doors, and this is
um, one of the uh jp morMorgan's equity derivative sales
team guys says he drawsparallels of President Lyndon
Johnson's clashes with Fed ChairBill Martin in 1965.
He says here is LBJ literallyslamming Fed Chair William
(13:17):
McKenzie Martin against a walland told him to print money.
This is from an excerpt fromthat account.
It says there Johnson gotMartin alone and did not mince
words.
According to different accounts, the 6'4 Johnson pushed the
shorter Martin up against a wall.
It says you went ahead and didsomething you knew I disapproved
(13:41):
of.
That can affect my entire team.
Here Johnson said, as Martinrecalled later in an oral
history you took advantage of meand I'm not going to forget it
because here I am a sick man.
You've got me into a positionwhere you can run a rapier into
me.
You've run it as Martin.
My boys are dying in Vietnamand you won't print the money I
(14:02):
need.
Well, you see, that'sinteresting.
I bring that up because there'salways been a clash, nefarious
military, industrial complexgoons, and you have the, you
(14:27):
know, the brown root and all allthat stuff that happened in the
texas politics, the dirty, thedirty game, murderous games that
that johnson played.
And that timeline really doessync up, doesn it?
1964 was the last year, ofcourse.
That's the year that Johnsonran for president in his own
(14:50):
right as president against BarryGoldwater.
But that's the year that, thelast year that we ran silver in
our coinage and of course, hadJohnson not won that that
election, which is probablybuilt into, he's probably
promised that or something youknow, for his uh guilt after the
(15:14):
fact, or possibly before thefact, depending on what your
analysis is on the jfkassassination that was the last
year that we ran any silver inour coinage.
In 65, it was stripped out.
So the quarters, the halfdollars and the dimes we didn't
run that the world took noticeand he's threatening here in
this article this is an accountfrom a memoir.
He's threatening the thenacting Fed chair, you know, to
(15:38):
print money.
So what do you think happened?
You know, by 1971, the worldunderstood that we'd inflated
our money supply, we'd abandonedthe bretton woods agreement in
1944 and that was to.
We had to have our currency,had to be backed by gold.
It was 35 an ounce, it was theagreed upon exchange rate and
(16:00):
the world started to slowlyrepatriate dollars back through
the gold window.
So August 15th 1971, nixontakes us off the gold standard
because and closes the goldwindow.
And what he said?
It was temporary.
But the reason is is because wehad inflated the money supply,
so that's all built into thatright there and now it's
(16:23):
completely, you know, off therails.
But you have to wonder what thispower struggle is actually
signaling.
It's interesting to watch andthe thought experiment is not
what happens necessarily ifTrump fires Powell.
But can he?
And if he can't, what does thattell you?
Because I don't think that hecan Not through traditional
(16:45):
means.
Anyway, the fed chairman isappointed and the president, I
believe, can have through theircharter, can supposedly select
that, but it's it's likeanything else.
They can select them whenthey're up for appointment.
But you know, it's neverhappened before.
But the threatening and thecajoling and other things that
does happen.
(17:06):
All right, let's see.
Should we do?
Should we do some?
Uh, we're gonna jump intometals first.
We should do some metals first.
Um, I brought this.
I saw this before I went onwith tra Knight this morning.
Let me put this up on thescreen.
There was a move on silver thisweek.
(17:31):
Silver jumped up.
I was looking at the Twitterfeed of Gold Telegraph.
Silver did have a $39 run onspot.
But this article, I think andthat was again I think, in some
(17:52):
correlation to the perceivedthreats of firing Powell, but I
think this is a larger reason.
I think this is probably theoutlier that I saw last year and
I thought, wow, that should bemuch bigger news.
Let me put this up on thescreen real quick.
Yeah, it's hard to you know thelaptop.
I need a producer and Beans isusually busy during the
(18:13):
broadcast just doing security,so bear with me here.
Let me put this up here.
All right?
So this is over on Kitco.
This Russia's central bank maybe boosting silver prices
through their undeclaredpurchases, and remember I told
you last year like this wasRussia was adding silver as a
(18:37):
strategic reserve asset.
Silver prices may be benefitingfrom undeclared but substantial
buying from by russia's centralbank.
According to journalist timtreygold, silver is moving out
of a long shadow cast by gold,its precious metal sister.
Treygold rolled on a forbesarticle on tuesday evening with
(19:00):
hints of major new buyer,russia's central bank, starting
to influence the silver price,which has risen to a 14-year
high.
He noted that, while Russiadata is difficult to come by the
silver price has outperformedgold ever since Russia announced
at the end of September that itplans to add silver to its
state reserve fund for the firsttime.
(19:23):
Part of the reason for silver's30.6% rise since early January,
compared with gold's 27.5%increase, is a simple case of
silver trying to catch up withgold, which has been a commodity
sector star for the past threeyears, if you remember.
So gold has hit its all-timehigh like 25 times in the last
(19:44):
year, and silver's all-time highis still 1980.
It's why I tell people I lovegold.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I think it's a great store ofvalue.
It's a monetary metal.
It has all the upside things Italk about.
(20:05):
But truly, if you're long, ifyou're willing to wait around
because it'll exhaust you,because you think you're going
to get a quick turnaround, ifyou'll, if you look at silver
and again, its all-time high was45 years ago, something has to
move it.
Well, you know, if you'rerussia and you don't, you're not
subject to and nobody's takenthis mantle that the reason that
silver hit a 52 high in 1980sbecause the hunt family in Texas
, they started running up silverphysical delivery and they were
(20:31):
deep stated for their trouble.
They were bankrupted by thestate because it what it showed
was there was something terriblywrong with the dollar.
So they were shut down andthere was a used means of you
know contracts and margin callsand other things.
But at its high it reached thatin 1980, which gosh.
(20:52):
That's like $300 today inpurchasing power, maybe more who
knows it was.
It's an it's unthinkable.
Uh, if you look at how weaksilver has been, to compare it
to 1980 prices at this time.
But we still haven't reachedthat in today's dollar term.
So I think that it's got somuch more room to run.
(21:12):
Silver has been slower off themark, lacking buyers with the
firepower of central banks orwell-funded exchange trade funds
and rich private buyers, hewrote.
But if the russian central bankis quietly building a silver
stockpile, as it seems to be thecase, then it's possible to see
other banks aligned to russiafollowing its lead.
That's true, it only takes oneand I think the threat of in the
(21:40):
past history, the communication, the lesson learned with what
happened to the hunt family intexas is don't touch that.
Nobody ever did again and itwould have been easy to corner,
like you could have had abillionaire could have cornered
the silver market and drove that.
Then you have other actors likejp morgan chase, who is the
largest holder of silver butwants to suppress the price and
(22:03):
you kind of want, like, what arethey doing?
I think it's a long-term play,ladies and gentlemen.
I think russia has run thesimulations.
They're figuring it out too.
Plus, it's a race for in this,the bricks nations just had
their summit and this is a racein the world to get to the most
commodities.
To get to the most commodities,to get to the most rare earth,
(22:24):
minerals, the most preciousmetals, the most resources,
natural resources.
And in a fiat world of infinite, that which is finite will win
out.
Gold will always win,especially, it always has.
(22:48):
It will always come back.
Um, it's the end game ofgresham's law.
Gresham's law says that whenbad money enters a system, good
money goes into hiding.
That's basically what thatmeans and that's why it drives
out.
You don't see.
You know in the exchange ofthings that you don't see actual
, real money being used becausebad money is in the system.
But those things always comeback.
(23:08):
It's just the natural order ofthings.
Tregold suggested that Russia'sBRICS partners, including China,
india and Brazil, may also beon board with their strategy of
precious metals accumulation inorder to move away from the US
dollar in international trade.
Part of the BRICS plan is toaccumulate gold as they look for
(23:31):
a way to bypass the dollar.
Though, with the gold pricehovering close to an all-time
high, that action has beenhugely expensive.
He said Silver, which hasalways been seen as an
alternative to gold, even to thepoint of acquiring an unkind
nickname of the poor man's gold,might enable members of the
BRICS group to push on withtheir plan to break free of the
(23:54):
dollar.
That would be an interestingSee.
Silver might be one of thebiggest plays that you could
actually make right now as anation's state, besides
something like gold, besidesBitcoin, because it's just got
that price.
I mean, it's just cheap, it'ssuper cheap and it's not
plentiful.
The above ground supply lastyear they had to take from it
(24:18):
was it was a 200 plus millionounce deficit.
In 2024 200 plus million ouncesprobably, I think it's 230
million ounces there was adeficit, so they had that's
everything that was being minedand produced.
They had to go take it from theabove ground supply, and that's
only increasing.
(24:42):
The biggest factor at work inthe silver market today appears
to be the investment demand,with the metal increasingly seen
as a gold substitute, alongwith platinum, another precious
metal, with a growing investmentfollowing and a rising price.
That's true.
Platinum is also moved.
This is why not everyonebelieves the goldver ratio is
(25:03):
still a useful measure of therelative value of the two metals
.
He said the entry of a newclass of buyer could be
significant.
There's been no further newssince Russia's central bank last
year announced that it wouldadd silver to the country's
precious metal reserves,dominated by gold and platinum.
But the relatively strongperformance recently by silver
(25:30):
compared with gold could be anindication of increased central
bank activity in the central inthe uh silver market.
I've been thinking the samething because this is, you know,
silver again, monetary metal,industrial metal, the most
thermo conductive metal, youshould add.
(25:50):
That's what that would be anexcellent strategic reserve
asset.
The Chinese used to be primarilysilver, about silver, about uh,
prior to the communist takeover.
I fell asleep listening to a, anarrative history of gold that
I've had for a while and I justput it on last night I woke up
(26:13):
to and it was talking about the,the era of gold, and with Mao
Zedong and the communist Chinese, and how strange, how strange
they are.
The communists always do this.
They always acquire the goldand then they stop everybody
else from having it.
It's funny.
They and they'll shame it.
It'll do so.
It always comes back, but theyacquire it first.
(26:34):
You know they get of it andthey shame or go after people
that have it.
It's funny for somebody thatyou're not supposed to care
about wealth.
I thought you didn't like money.
I thought this was all.
You know, we're all equally foreach, for each his own.
You know, whatever the, theMarxian uh edict is, you know
for uh to to your own labors andall the things you get rewarded
(26:58):
for for just showing up.
But yeah, that's an interestinghistory.
He didn't start coming backaround until Ma Tse-Tung passed
away, until he died, and thenthey brought that.
They definitely brought that.
Cho In-Lai, I believe, was hisoperator and kind of like a
(27:19):
Secretary of State.
They started looking atbringing gold back and now they
have 60,000 gold mines massivereserves, by the way.
Okay, well, that's interesting.
On silver folks, I'll go to thecomments here in a second.
I want to get into some otherarticles.
(27:41):
But something to watch there'sstate actors now participating
in the accumulation of silver.
We have all these other factors.
You're going to see more ofthis movement.
I've figured out over the yearsthat too many predictions on
pricing of silver can get you introuble.
So I try not to make that.
But I would be a terribleanalyst if I didn't say that I'm
(28:07):
really looking for it to dosomething near its all-time high
.
Again, don't buy from mebecause you think it's going to
break its all-time high in thenext 24 hours or something.
But I see that happening.
I see that silver doingsomething moving.
I think it's just physics, Ithink it's just math.
(28:27):
I mean, it'll break free ofwhatever's been holding it back.
It looks like some of thoseforces are no longer able to
suppress it.
It looks like we're seeing amove here.
I think it's pretty historic.
So pay attention to that.
All right, let me go to the chatreal quick.
And again we're over on Rumble.
(28:50):
Yeah, kenny F in power sayshalf dollars were 40% through 40
through 69.
Yeah, it's up to 70 and uh,yeah, we do, we do sell some of
those.
But you know, I I like the 40percenters.
We usually give really gooddeals on them.
But um, I do want a 90 coin.
(29:13):
That's the majority of thestuff that I put through
wolfpack or sell.
Uh, kenny f empowers I.
Tony, I would love to see youtalk with ben hameen from hameen
media group.
One day he ran a conspiracyhorseman for seven years.
I I believe we've spoken.
I believe I think he's been onum america unplug, but I'll go
(29:38):
on anybody's show.
Yeah, I see Harps is in thechat.
It's good to see.
I'm trying to go through allthis.
Appreciate you guys.
Let's see.
Oh good, 804 Marty Marty sayssounding great on shortwave
(30:02):
radio today.
Well, I'm glad.
So that's one technical glitch.
I didn't have to endure that.
We're still.
We're going out over WWCR.
Tony, I don't hear many peopletalking about Senator Lee's move
to sell public land.
I know he's.
I know the latest was stoppedin the BBB, the big beautiful
(30:27):
bill.
Yeah, I've read more into thatand you know my take was as far
as like, if Americans, like ifyou could break it up, like
where actual American citizenscould buy more land and get a
deal from the government orsomething like that automaton
for satan or you know, or aforeign national that you know
(30:48):
is just here to you know, rip usoff of our resources or
whatever you know, or gain someleverage or foothold or whatever
.
I'm against that, obviously.
But yeah, until there'sclarification, I this, the whole
(31:11):
thing just reeks and uh, youshould say I mean the amount of
foreign.
Um, you know we don't get to dothat.
You can't.
It's.
It's a hard, hard process toown land and a foreign nation.
Only we would invite people todo that, and of course that's
our politicians and other things.
But yeah, that is a.
(31:31):
That's a very alarming thing.
That's a very alarming thing,says Tony.
Kenny F in Paris says Tonyalways sounds good as strong at
calming voice.
I can't stand all the hoststhat do nothing but shout and
yell everything.
I know that is a like a vibe.
(31:53):
You got to work on it, justlike trying to remain calm in
the face of everything.
Like it's it is.
It's unnerving.
You know, to live in this world.
I've been doing it for a while.
As far as this world of what Ibroadcast into, if you know me
personally, I'm not muchdifferent off the air, although
I might be a little bit morereserved off the air depending
(32:14):
on how my mood is.
I've been told that I'm themost intense person that people
meet and they're like you know,I kind of go.
Really, is it that bad?
But apparently I'm very intense.
But that's good.
I like my work.
Oh, an Australian.
What do you call Australiancurrency Harps.
(32:35):
Is it just?
Gold is $5,146 Aussie dollars.
Yeah, bronxstomper 111 says theSaudis own hundreds of
thousands of acres in the USthat solely raise alfalfa hay
that they ship home, yeah, yeah.
And then there's these giantagain, even if it's internal,
(32:58):
these multinational corporationsand giant agribusiness that end
up getting their welfare queensand stuff.
We went to the article last week.
It's the Australian dollar.
I thought so.
The term dollar comes from aBavarian silver coin that was
(33:21):
made, so it's basically German.
And that's where you get thatderivative of dollar.
Dollars.
That's a pretty common use.
You ever notice that the olddollar sign used to have two
slashes through it and then theywent to one.
Isn't that interesting.
I always follow.
I look at the old stuff andthere's two and then they went
(33:43):
to one.
I was like, why did you go to?
Why not the two anymore?
Was that ceremonial?
Yeah, let me go to.
Let me check the chat over onRumble too.
We're on the Rble, uh, unplugchannel.
Let me check everybody overhere.
Oh, birdhouse blue is alwaysgood to see birdhouse.
(34:06):
Well, he makes some great aistuff of me and beans and the
crew over at america unplugged.
It's good to see birdhouseguard goldsmiths in the chat.
I love the idea of selling thefed lands and tony's point is
the key keeping the corporationsout of it.
Yeah, I'd love to get that into.
If you could find a way tolegitimately get into the hands
(34:29):
of american citizens and peoplethat would do something with it.
Uh, that would be great, but wedon't have that built in.
So it seems like ourpoliticians acting as real
estate agents for foreignnationals and multinationals is
par for the course.
Let's see.
(34:54):
Yeah, can't wait to see Cecilia14.
I can't wait to see David again.
I can't wait to see Cecilia 14,.
I can't wait to see David again.
I can't wait to see David again.
I miss talking to him everyweek.
I get to talk to Travis, but Ithink my brain will start to
atrophy over time.
I had to talk to David Knightevery like I got to.
I got to talk to David Knightevery Thursday and it makes you
a much better broadcaster.
(35:18):
Let's see Little Johnny boy.
I'm calling you after the show.
Tony, 10 silver coins please.
Yeah, you can call and give usa call.
We've got uh, I got, a saleright now on American one ounce
silver Eagles.
We're beating everybody and youjust got to buy them 10 or 20
at a time.
I bought like 1500 over thepast few days.
(35:39):
So I got tons of americansilver eagle.
We got a deal going on freeshipping and we just uh, and of
course you got to pay throughthe e-check.
All right, I'm sorry I can'tget to everybody on the chat.
I want to make sure I getthrough some more articles.
Let's see, let's go.
We went, we got anything on.
(36:00):
I went through some stuff ongold earlier this morning, but
let me X out of this and let'ssee what else I was able to pull
up.
There was so much stuff.
And then, of course, somethingI mentioned with Travis today.
(36:20):
Let's go and put this isactivist post.
We'll talk about this and thenwe'll jump into the epstein
article because don's got to.
Don has so much great stuff.
I can't cover everything thathe does, and when he does have
an article and happens to landon the day that I'm broadcasting
, I want to talk about don.
I'm going to go over his uh,his work, for sure, but let's
(36:42):
put this up on the screen.
So many young people have beenpriced out of the home markets,
priced out of everything.
I mean it's.
I saw an article today and Ididn't have time to cover it,
but I was.
Was going to ask my son aboutit, but it was noticing the Gen
Z stare.
(37:03):
These kids, they don't reallywant to work.
They're just like I don't eventhey don't feel like the same
societal constraints that you orI did, or millennials.
(37:24):
And I'm Gen X and of course Ithink Gen X and Gen Z are
probably very similar in somerespects, more so than
millennials.
But it's interesting to To seewhat the and, of course, the
kids that were raised withdevices and you're seeing that
that's going to be.
There is something to that withAI and the rise of that.
(37:49):
I got a clip.
I'll show you guys here in asecond after we get through this
article.
It's bizarre With the WorldEconomic Forum and Klaus Schwab
and the singularity.
It's like they're trainingthese kids to not be present,
which, if you're not present inthe moment which I understand,
it's very hard to do Like mentalhealth, if you're either living
(38:11):
in the past or you're living inthe future.
It's like something Lao Tzusaid If you're living in the
past, you're depressed.
If you're living in the future,you're like something Lao Tzu
said If you're living in thepast, you're depressed If you're
living in the future.
You're anxious, you've gotanxiety, you've got to find out
how to be in the moment, whichis very hard to do if you're
doom scrolling or you can't getoff your device or whatever, and
I have to do so much for mybusiness and be plugged in.
It is insane.
(38:32):
But if you're a kid, I rememberactually thinking and dreaming.
When I was a kid, I didn't havethis stuff.
You had TV, but it's not thesame, you know.
Imagine, just imagine if you'rea kid and you just took your TV
everywhere and you're in thecar with your mom and you had
your TV.
Imagine just like the amount ofTV and interacting with the TV
or talking to it or, you know,messaging through it would just
(38:52):
is so much, and you're pluggedinto this thing, this, this
black mirror in your hand, much,and you're plugged into this
thing, this, this black mirrorin your hand, and um.
So there's a reason, though,that these kids are feeling so,
you know, I think, and it's likethere's an economic reason, not
just a spiritual reason, whythey're feeling so left out.
(39:13):
Let me put this up, thisactivist post, by the way, great
website.
I talked, talked to CharlieRobinson, my good friend
yesterday and Wise Wolf is goingto be a proud sponsor of
Activist Post.
So please go over there andsubscribe to everything
Charlie's doing.
It's a great, I mean.
It's a fantastic website veryclean, uh, not a bunch of
(39:40):
garbage over there.
I mean I know the owner, I knowwhat, I know what his research
level style is and I know what,uh, his values are.
So please go support charlieand, uh, share the links around.
It's a, it's a great project.
But says this is activist post.
He's reprinted something frombitcoin magazine.
Says bitcoin is draining thevalue out of real estate and
regard this is even a.
This isn't even about in mymind.
(40:02):
I'm not even promoting bitcoin,even though I have a bitcoin
company I'm not promoting.
I'm just saying this is, thisis where we're headed.
Because they've been the damagedone to the financial system
through fiat and through thefederal reserve, through the
magic trick, that silent weaponfor quiet wars, it's made it to
where people are exiting thehousing market.
(40:26):
It says.
With nearly 400 trillion inglobal value, real estate is the
world's largest asset class,over three times the size of the
global stock market and nearlyfour times global GDP.
As more people have put theirsavings in real estate houses
have evolved from shelter toinflation, hedging assets that
(40:49):
carry a significant monetarypremium.
Whether it's San Francisco,london or Prague, residential
and commercial landlords keepinvesting in more buildings
despite only earning 3% netrental yield.
The reason is very simple Realestate makes for great
collateral, this is true.
This is where you get into thecyclical way of.
(41:13):
That's why the uber wealthydon't fight the tax code,
because they like it, becauseit's it rewards going into debt.
You just buy the assets, borrowfrom the assets and, you know,
create the holding companies andyou can do that if you, you can
live on debt and, um, you know,leave it, leave the uh, the tax
(41:33):
code and the the burdens to theplebs is what they think.
In normal market conditions,banks are always happy to lend
against real estate, which iswhy nearly everyone can get a
mortgage.
With mortgages, property ownerscan access liquidity through
initial financing, refinancing,second loans and home equity
lines of credit.
Despite the excesses thattriggered the 2008 crisis, this
(41:56):
system has largely worked.
Mortgages have democratizedcredit, offering liquidity
without giving up ownership, hesays.
But here's a question why onlyreal estate?
Imagine you're a lenderchoosing between three borrowers
One offers gold, anotherFerrari and a third is a house.
Technically, all can becollateral, but in practice, the
(42:17):
house wins every time he sayswhy gold can easily be
transferred overseas and carscan be driven away, but real
estate is tied to land.
As long as the state enforcesproperty rights, the lender's
position is secured.
Well, what if there is a form ofcollateral that didn't even
rely on legal enforcement, thatjust talks about Bitcoin?
(42:39):
That's why I think I've beenfunny, because I brought this up
like a week ago and then it'sfunny because your mind kind of
anticipates the way it works.
If you have that time to thinkand I'll do this when I drive a
lot I'll just zone out and youknow, know, have no music on,
(43:00):
I'll just be me talking to beansor just sitting and thinking
and a lot of this stuff will.
This will pop up in my mindabout people grabbing digital
real estate, digital terrain,because, as collateral, bitcoin
outperforms real estate onnearly every metric.
It's always available, globallyrecognized, initially and
instantly transferable,programmable and secured by
(43:22):
cryptography rather than legalsystems.
While selling a propertyrequires navigating local
markets, appraisal fees, capitalcontrols and regulatory hurdles
, liquidating Bitcoin collateralcan be as simple as clicking
one button.
Liquidating Bitcoin collateralcan be as simple as clicking one
button.
And if borrowing againstBitcoin becomes easier, safer
(43:43):
and cheaper than borrowingagainst real estate, why would
anybody store wealth in houses?
And it says that.
The article says simple, theywon't.
Well, there's another reasonfor that too, and it's because
they're being priced out of it.
And you have these giantconglomerates like BlackRock
buying swaths of neighborhoodsand outbidding people.
(44:04):
Meanwhile, you have things likethe big, beautiful bill, or
we're going to fire JeromePowell or whatever, just lower
rates and we're going tocontinue.
That inflates it even further.
You don't have a necessary.
You don't have these necessarysetbacks and resets of markets.
You just continue to inflatethe bubble and you're just
(44:24):
leaving people behind.
So, generally speaking, realestate's value is determined
based on the cash flows theproperty can generate, plus a
market driven monetary premium.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, ispure expression of monetary
value, unburdened by physicalconstraints of ownership cost.
As more capital flows intoBitcoin-backed credit markets,
(44:47):
this monetary premium baked intoproperty will inevitably
collapse and real estate willreturn to its utility value.
Some indicators suggest this isalready happening.
Yeah, this is.
They've already observed thisphenomenon of people flocking to
bitcoin outside of property,the ultimate hedge against
(45:10):
central banks and the dangersthey bring.
Well, I don't.
I say it's a mixed bag.
It's not just one thing I likeI love bitcoin, but a lot of the
bitcoin maxis are like that'severything.
I don't think it's everything,but I think it's one of the
things.
It's in the basket.
Put it in the basket.
It says Bitcoin is poised totake a significant bite out of
(45:35):
real estate dominance.
This is not just because itperforms better as a store of
value, but because lenders willprefer it as a frictionless,
programmable and borderlesscollateral.
Yeah, they can hold it like youcan just transfer it, and
that's a great way.
It's funny because I was lookingat my holdings of bitcoin.
I've been able to accumulateover the last four or five years
(45:58):
and and uh, you know I wasn'table to keep the Bitcoin I
bought when I first startedthrough my first machines.
Because I couldn't, because Iwas.
I had every transaction I had.
I didn't afford it.
It would have definitelychanged my world had I been able
to keep it.
But I was talking to CharlieRobinson too.
We were having thisconversation and I said you know
(46:21):
what I'm going to do.
I said I've looked at how muchI have and I will ride that into
.
I will ride that to nothing.
I will ride it to zero.
Either it's going either it'slife-changing, it's going to do
something or I'm going to rideit to zero.
I will never sell.
I'll never sell what I'veaccumulated ever, ever, ever.
You can borrow against it andthat's tax-free and usually it's
about 50%.
(46:42):
So if you have like a wholeBitcoin right now, you could get
60K or something like that inborrowed funds.
You got to pay it back, but youstill own the amount of Bitcoin
.
So digital territory is thefuture in a lot of ways.
Because of these issues ofbeing priced out of the home
(47:02):
market to begin with, it's notjust that Bitcoin's a better
asset At least it's.
The inflationary policies havecaused and, of course, excluded,
entire generations of Americans.
Now, unfortunately and I saythat sadly All right, let's jump
(47:26):
into this article with Don.
I want to see how much I cancover.
Again, if you want to look intoowning some Bitcoin, you just
give us a call at the trade desk, with Wise Wolf happy to take
care of you.
It's a white glove service, soyou might pay a little bit more,
but we help you set up yourwallet and you're dealing with a
(47:48):
person, it's not a computer.
All right, let me put this onthe screen.
All right, I'm at the shop andI hear my son's German Shepherd.
She wants in this office verybadly.
Beth wants to come in here andsay hi, she hasn't seen me in a
(48:10):
minute so she's whining.
We can't do it, though.
We're live Again.
Lou Rockwell dot com.
Donald Jeffrey's Epstein secrets, lies and videotape.
This is after Donald Trumpembarrassed himself by berating
a reporter with Are you stilltalking about Jeffrey Epstein.
It seemed likely that he wouldflip-flop and say something to
(48:34):
encourage his now disappointedbase, but he did nothing of the
sort.
Instead, he took to Truth'ssocial media and produced an
unfathomable rant.
He says the Post deserves to bequoted extensively.
He says what's going on with myboys and, in some cases, gals?
They're all going afterAttorney General Pam Bondi,
(48:56):
who's doing a fantastic job.
We're on one team, maga, and Idon't like what's happening.
We have a perfectadministration, the talk of the
world and selfish people aretrying to hurt it all over a guy
who never dies Jeffrey Epstein.
For years, it's Epstein allover again.
(49:20):
But why are we giving publicityto files written by Obama,
crooked Hillary, comey, brennanand the losers and criminals of
the Biden administration whoconned the world with the Russia
Russia hoax, the laptop fromhell and more.
They created the Epstein files,just like they created the fake
(49:41):
Hillary Clinton ChristopherSteele dossier that they used on
me.
Why didn't these radical leftlunatics release the Epstein
files?
So that's, don is right.
After the first time.
I've read the entire thing allthe way through.
There's some contradictorystatements in there.
Within two sentences he sayswhere do we begin to analyze
(50:04):
such verbal allegiance?
We have come to expect theabsurd boast, and having the
perfect administration fits innicely with having the strongest
economy in history and mostsecure border in history.
Is the line about epstein neverdying an inside baseball remark
alluding to the fact that he isalive, as many believe?
(50:27):
Trump now accuses Obama,hillary and the Biden
administration of creating theEpstein files.
If he believes that such thingsas Hunter Biden's laptop from
hell are more important, thenwhy isn't it being investigated
by the Justice Department?
Then why isn't it beinginvestigated by the Justice
Department?
That's a great question.
Remember that that happenedduring the election of 2020.
(50:50):
They just gave them that.
Imagine getting a sword likethat, like you have the ability,
and it was not used.
I remember because I covered iton my show and I thought
they're not even serious.
They're not even using this.
They didn't, and it was neverinvestigated.
By the way, only the guy whohad the laptop was who he left.
(51:12):
I mean, it borders on theunbelievable.
It's incredulous that that evenhappened.
But that is a weird story, partof something that actually did
happen.
But that is a weird story, partof something that actually did
happen.
So did Trump order Kash Pateland or Pam Bonney to investigate
voter fraud, particularly thedubious 2020 election?
(51:33):
Who has been deposed?
Who has been arrested?
Why aren't Comey and Hillary atleast being prosecuted for
Russia, russia, russia.
What Trump's delusional,surrealist statement comes down
to is a ridiculous defense ofnot investigating those who
abuse the young girls beingtrapped by Epstein Trumpenstein.
(51:54):
The actor is now being forced toplay an even more buffoonish
character, one who seemingly haszero awareness of how the MAGA
faithful are viewing hisrecently statements and his
administration's glaringacquiescence to the swamp.
To that swamp, he wants promiseto drain.
He knows that we know.
(52:16):
He knows it's like I love thathe isn't planning on looking
into Hunter Hunter's laptopanymore than he's is
investigating or reinvestigating9-11 or the JFK assassination.
Remember, not too long ago, herevealed that he's always
thought Oswald acted alone as hereleased the JFK files.
(52:39):
I have to say something on that.
If you are like me and you some, I mean you kind of a it's a
blessing and a curse, but Idon't usually forget any if I've
seen any political theater orlike a clip it or snip.
Back in the 2015-2016 primaries,trump was running against ted
(52:59):
cruz and rafael cruz.
Ted cruz's dad was.
He was a Cuban national andthere was some questions whether
or not he knew Oswald and, um,the national inquirer ran the
story or something close to that, and Trump brought that up like
on national to live about.
You know, I have some questions.
You're like, where was his dad,like during the death?
(53:20):
Like no, look that up.
Like dad, like during the death, like no, look that up, like
wow, we are in.
We are definitely in um, a newuncharted waters here.
All that to get to the pointwhere he goes.
Oh yeah, I think I was allacted alone.
And why are we still talkingabout this epstein guy?
I saw a video on instagram today.
(53:40):
Just I don't know why it wasdelivering to me because I
checked the feed in the morning.
I want to see what thealgorithm wants, because this is
something I think isinteresting.
And it sent me this lady who's,like you know, anti-tucker
Carlson.
Doesn't understand why is hebeing so mean to Ted Cruz?
It seems like he's lost hismind, he's not on the right side
(54:00):
.
And then why, candace Owens?
And you're like, oh, Iunderstand what you are, you
know, and I don't think she wasintelligent enough.
Sorry, I don't think sheunderstood like enough to be
like wickedly deceptive on herviewpoints.
I just think that's how she'stold, like through the
(54:21):
commentators that are on thisstandard narrative.
And, you know, a call went outlike we're gonna push back on
this and supposedly thathappened.
A lot of the influencers weretold to get back in line to maga
.
(54:41):
The national security staterequires as little information
as possible to be shared withthe unwashed masses.
Going back to the Nixon days,there have been constant battles
about insiders leakinginformation.
Yes, we cannot have the publiclearning about what they're
really doing.
Also, everyone in Washington DChates leakers as much as they
(55:04):
hate whistleblowers.
At least a few officials havedared to suggest that the likes
of Assange and Snowden shouldn'tbe prosecuted.
The leakers have no defenders.
What we were told went on inthe Soviet Union back when they
were the foreign hobgoblin ofchoice.
(55:25):
You may be starting to get thepicture.
Imagine if they really auditedthe Pentagon.
Imagine if they even just madethe budgets of the intelligence
agencies public.
They've never been, and none ofyour representatives are
demanding that they be disclosed.
If Jeffrey Epstein, dead oralive, had truly been
(55:47):
investigated and that notoriouslist of glittering celebrities
had been produced, it would havebeen the first such case of
transparency in my lifetime.
We've waited over 60 years toforce the release of JFK
assassination files, which wereclassified, even though the
government and thestate-controlled media assured
us that this was an act of alone, demented Marxist who
(56:14):
couldn't satisfy his wife.
For good measure, the CIAclaimed at the end of 2024 to
have released the lastclassified files from World War
I.
Countless files from World Wariremain hidden from the public.
Why that was the good war,remember?
What could we possibly have tohide about that?
(56:36):
There are files related toroswell, new mexico, that remain
classified.
You know where somethingcrashed in the desert in 1947.
Conspiracy theorists say it wasan alien craft.
The government says it was justa harmless weather balloon, but
it's keeping things secretanyhow, from the time that
Richard Nixon first popularizedthe term national security to
(56:59):
justify withholding informationduring Watergate.
Every politician has grownenamored with it.
This includes all of thoseelected officials who permitted
the southern border to be arevolving door over 40 years now
.
That's so true.
It's a tell, isn't it?
The border is a tell.
(57:20):
It's a tell after 9-11.
It was a tell for COVID-19-84.
It's a tell.
So it's a tell after 9-11.
It was a tell for covid 1984,like it's a tell for national
security.
It's a.
It's a true barometer for whatthey really think.
This is a great article.
(57:40):
I won't have time to finish allof it, unfortunately.
You go to go to don's page.
You go to donaldjeffriesmed'thave time to finish all of it,
unfortunately.
You can go to Don's page.
You go to donaldjeffriesmedia.
You can catch the rest of it.
I was hoping I'd have time toget to everything, but we just
got an hour, folks, and I'llhave to leave you at that.

is on that channel every weektoo.
Please go subscribe to that.
As I mentioned on the DavidKnight show, today we got a big
(58:27):
sale on American silver Eaglesand those are at least saving at
least a buck an ounce with freeshipping.

you.
We've got the trade desk opento take care of any of those

other stuff.
But that's just one of thespecials that I've got today.
So that's our specials on goldand silver.
Last week and I promised that Iwould plug this, but everything
going on we got another sponsor,which is
(59:11):
peoplesprotectionplancom.
You can go to that.
That's Legal Shield.
I've been with them for 23years.
You can get yourself a plan forunder the cost of a cup of
coffee a day and that covers youon unlimited access to
attorneys.
You can get your will done.
That's part of the package.
It's just done part of the costand you can.
(59:32):
Traffic tickets are covered,lawsuits, audit protection, all
of that stuff and you even havean add-on for court time.
If you're ever sued, it's justto have in your back pocket.
Especially with everythinggoing on in society today, I
think it's a slam dunk.
So, peoplesprotectionplancom, Iwould cover more stuff next
(59:57):
week.
Hopefully no more technicalglitches, but I appreciate each
and every one of you.

(01:45):
Ladies and gents, we've got theheadlines of Drudge are meant
to, I think, misdirect you andof course, we're going to cover
what's happened with the falloutof MAGA.
And I want to get into a littlebit more on Epstein, because my
friend, don Jeffries has anarticle that's published on
(02:08):
lewrockwellcom.
But if you look at Drudge andyou look at the aggregation of
news, which is what I studybecause I want to see what are
you supposed to be payingattention to, right, what do
they want your eyes on?
And then what do they want younoting?
But again, revelation of themethod having things available
for you to consume.
But you were told about it.
But let's not exactly go there.
(02:30):
And I I want to talk a littlebit about this notion that trump
is going to fire jerome powell,head of the federal reserve.
Chairman of the Reserve.
And if you go into a searchengine, which I've done here in
the last hour I was talking toTravis Knight over on the David
(02:52):
Knight Show earlier today and wegot into this a little bit,
because the question arises isnot whether or not Trump will
fire Jerome Powell, but if yougo into a search engine and you
just type in can a president andit fills in, it auto-fills the
rest can a president fire a Fedchair?
(03:12):
Now in this question exposesabout 90% of what's wrong with
our culture and the West andwhat happened to our beloved
republic, what happened to oursociety.
It's about 90% right there.
Just that question alone.
Because the magic trick ofmoney which is why I do what I
(03:36):
do, why I'm in precious metals,why I'm in Bitcoin and why I do
these broadcasts and shows I dothese broadcasts and shows.
If you follow that, if youunderstand the origin story,
like G Edward Griffin wrote thebook the Creature from Jekyll
(03:57):
Island, it is a creature andthat is a true story.
November 22, 1910, the mostpowerful financiers in the world
conspired to meet on thisisland, outside of the coast of
Georgia, jekyll Island.
You can still go there.
You can actually see the roomin which they met.
But it was an actual conspiracy.
It wasn't even talked about foryears and years later.
(04:18):
And others representing thepolitical establishment, aldrich
, senator Aldrich, who marriedinto the Rockefeller family.
So the Rockefellers werepresent at that as well, and it
was a design to create a centralbank.
Now we hadn't had a central bankin the country since Andrew
(04:40):
Jackson killed the second bankin the United States.
He actually wanted that on histombstone.
You can go look this up.
He thought that theinternational banksters were and
he knew, just like ThomasJefferson knew, they were a
threat to freedom, they're athreat to free society, they're
a threat to a republic becausethey hijacked the power
structure and they do it throughstealth.
(05:02):
And Andrew Jackson said you'rea den of vipers and thieves,
I'll route you out.
And he did.
He routed them out.
He would not renew the charterfor the second bank of the
United States.
So we did not have a centralbank in this country from 1836
to 1913.
And when they brought it backbecause that was always the
ultimate goal was to gaincontrol over the money supply.
(05:24):
When they brought it back,because that was always the
ultimate goal was to gaincontrol over the money supply,
when they brought it back, theydidn't call it a bank, they
didn't call it centralized anddo any of that.
They were very clever.
Language is important, thewords you use, because, again,
that's why it's magic right?
Because that's why words youhave spelling when you spell a
word.
So they used that and thenomenclature came out to federal
(05:48):
, and it's not federal, and areserve and there's no reserve.
It's literally just a hijackingof the money supply.
And you go back to somethingthat the Rothschild said.
The mayor, I'm sure Rothschild,said I care not who sits on the
British throne, the person whocontrols the British empire is
the person who controls theBritish money supply and I
control the British money supply.
That's a real quote from the19th century.
(06:11):
And if you look into moderndocuments like Silent Weapons
for Quiet Wars, I mean, there'san esoteric meaning.
It's actually a siphoning ofenergy and you can go down the
rabbit hole.
It's not just economics, but weget into this modern, you know,
political theater, which ismore and more apparent.
(06:36):
If you're, if you're stillplugged in like left right and I
pray for you.
It's beyond that.
I cover politics for the samereason that I cover anything
else.
It's for the lack ofintelligence and that's kind of
a built-in joke, but I cover itfor the intel.
I cover it because Sun Tzu saidto know your enemy.
So that's what I look at.
(06:57):
All of that is baked into thesystem.
That is a trick, if you will,and you have this question
popping up.
Will Trump fire Jerome Powell?
Well, if you go to this articleon Zero Hedge, just a few
things I want to read.
He said what happens if Trumpfires Powell.
Let me put this on the screenbecause there's a story in here
(07:21):
that I found it reminded me I'dread this before, but it'd been.
It'd been a while.
I was reminded of a story fromthe 1960s and of course you can
go back, and Jim Mars broughtthis up more than once.
But you know he said that JFKand Lincoln were the only two
(07:45):
presidents to ever create notesdirectly from the treasury.
You know they lincoln had thegreenback and then of course,
jfk and I've bought some ofthese and give them away to
family members and others butthey in 1963 he was printing
five dollar notes direct fromthe Treasury for the money
(08:05):
supply and, of course, silvercertificates that weren't
Federal Reserve notes.
You can look on them and everynote today that you have says
Federal Reserve note.
And Jim Mars brought that up.
He said Lincoln and Kennedywere the only two presidents to
ever print notes directly fromthe Treasury and they both were
shot in the head in public.
That's true and of course, jfkpissed off.
(08:28):
Uh, all the right people.
You know, um, the cia, themilitary industrial complex, the
israelis, the federal reserve,uh, just about everybody, the
mob.
So you know.
So you'll know them by theirenemies.
Let me put put this up.
This is interesting and we'regoing to get into a little bit
(08:48):
of precious metals too.
Today, some pair of politics,precious metals.
I've got an article fromActivist Post.
I think it's a sign of thetimes.
I want to go over with you onBitcoin and then we'll jump into
my friend Don Jeffrey's articleon Epstein.
He's always got a love Don'stake on things.
(09:09):
It says as DB Jim reads recaps.
It lasted just under than anhour, but yesterday we got a
glimpse of what might happen ifthe Trump administration removed
Powell from office, usingprobabilities from polymarket.
Of course, this talks about theeconomic fallout.
(09:29):
It says in the mid-60 minutebetween CBS story broke that
Trump was considering firingPowell to the qualifying denial,
the probability of Powell beingousted by the end of the year
increased by about 15 points to38%.
Over this period, the 10-yearTreasury bond yields climbed
(09:51):
around five basis points.
It's interesting you saw thaton the heels of this threat to
fire Powell, silver jumped up to$39 on spot, which is another
thing I'm going to get into herein a minute.
There's another reason for that,not just the hike and the
(10:13):
probability at least theperceived probability of Powell
being ousted, but there's areason why the markets responded
that way and the reason is isbecause trump wants to take the
monetary supply and increase it,that's the expansion of the
currency through inflation,through lowering rates, because
(10:35):
they're just going to dumpliquidity into this market.
And it is interesting to seethis power struggle maybe it is
a perceived power strugglebetween the establishment and
the other establishment.
It's like the two mafia housesfighting over control, like with
the tariffs and other things,because the Fed is at least the
(10:58):
perceived hawkishness on keepingrates stable.
Now Jerome Powell raised ratesfaster than any time in history,
faster than any other Fed chair, even Paul Volcker, who had him
up to the teens at one time inthe late 1970s, early 1980s.
That was meant to curtail theNixon shock of going off the
gold standard in 1971.
(11:19):
We had such massive inflationand Jerome Powell has raised
rates faster.
Faster I mean 25 basis pointsat a time.
And trump wants to take thosedown to near zero again, which
would just have this red hoteffect on liquidity dumping
everywhere.
The problem with that is in theaftermath.
We're already you know we'vealready had the pat past the
(11:43):
point of no return on fiscal.
I don't want to, you know, Idon't want to be too blackfield
or, you know, go be toodisparaging on that.
But there's a reason why I dowhat I do and talk about the
issues that I talk about,because there's no turning back
at this point.
I mean the dollar, the world'sde-dollarizing.
They're dumping it.
(12:05):
Those dollars will berepatriated and the government
will continue to borrow fromitself, like a snake eating its
own tail and then print andyou're left holding the back.
They hope that you'll continueto use their product.
I want to skip around down hereon this article, though, and it
(12:32):
just had a nice blurb from ablast from the past.
It says, then again, all ofthis is purely a theoretical
thought experiment than ananalysis grounded in reality.
Because of uh, because of thiswhole political pressure as a
myth on whether or not the fedchair can be removed.
But he says what's currentlyunfolding before our eyes has
(12:54):
been happening for decadesbehind closed doors, and this is
um, one of the uh jp morMorgan's equity derivative sales
team guys says he drawsparallels of President Lyndon
Johnson's clashes with Fed ChairBill Martin in 1965.
He says here is LBJ literallyslamming Fed Chair William
(13:17):
McKenzie Martin against a walland told him to print money.
This is from an excerpt fromthat account.
It says there Johnson gotMartin alone and did not mince
words.
According to different accounts, the 6'4 Johnson pushed the
shorter Martin up against a wall.
It says you went ahead and didsomething you knew I disapproved
(13:41):
of.
That can affect my entire team.
Here Johnson said, as Martinrecalled later in an oral
history you took advantage of meand I'm not going to forget it
because here I am a sick man.
You've got me into a positionwhere you can run a rapier into
me.
You've run it as Martin.
My boys are dying in Vietnamand you won't print the money I
(14:02):
need.
Well, you see, that'sinteresting.
I bring that up because there'salways been a clash, nefarious
military, industrial complexgoons, and you have the, you
(14:27):
know, the brown root and all allthat stuff that happened in the
texas politics, the dirty, thedirty game, murderous games that
that johnson played.
And that timeline really doessync up, doesn it?
1964 was the last year, ofcourse.
That's the year that Johnsonran for president in his own
(14:50):
right as president against BarryGoldwater.
But that's the year that, thelast year that we ran silver in
our coinage and of course, hadJohnson not won that that
election, which is probablybuilt into, he's probably
promised that or something youknow, for his uh guilt after the
(15:14):
fact, or possibly before thefact, depending on what your
analysis is on the jfkassassination that was the last
year that we ran any silver inour coinage.
In 65, it was stripped out.
So the quarters, the halfdollars and the dimes we didn't
run that the world took noticeand he's threatening here in
this article this is an accountfrom a memoir.
He's threatening the thenacting Fed chair, you know, to
(15:38):
print money.
So what do you think happened?
You know, by 1971, the worldunderstood that we'd inflated
our money supply, we'd abandonedthe bretton woods agreement in
1944 and that was to.
We had to have our currency,had to be backed by gold.
It was 35 an ounce, it was theagreed upon exchange rate and
(16:00):
the world started to slowlyrepatriate dollars back through
the gold window.
So August 15th 1971, nixontakes us off the gold standard
because and closes the goldwindow.
And what he said?
It was temporary.
But the reason is is because wehad inflated the money supply,
so that's all built into thatright there and now it's
(16:23):
completely, you know, off therails.
But you have to wonder what thispower struggle is actually
signaling.
It's interesting to watch andthe thought experiment is not
what happens necessarily ifTrump fires Powell.
But can he?
And if he can't, what does thattell you?
Because I don't think that hecan Not through traditional
(16:45):
means.
Anyway, the fed chairman isappointed and the president, I
believe, can have through theircharter, can supposedly select
that, but it's it's likeanything else.
They can select them whenthey're up for appointment.
But you know, it's neverhappened before.
But the threatening and thecajoling and other things that
does happen.
(17:06):
All right, let's see.
Should we do?
Should we do some?
Uh, we're gonna jump intometals first.
We should do some metals first.
Um, I brought this.
I saw this before I went onwith tra Knight this morning.
Let me put this up on thescreen.
There was a move on silver thisweek.
(17:31):
Silver jumped up.
I was looking at the Twitterfeed of Gold Telegraph.
Silver did have a $39 run onspot.
But this article, I think andthat was again I think, in some
(17:52):
correlation to the perceivedthreats of firing Powell, but I
think this is a larger reason.
I think this is probably theoutlier that I saw last year and
I thought, wow, that should bemuch bigger news.
Let me put this up on thescreen real quick.
Yeah, it's hard to you know thelaptop.
I need a producer and Beans isusually busy during the
(18:13):
broadcast just doing security,so bear with me here.
Let me put this up here.
All right?
So this is over on Kitco.
This Russia's central bank maybe boosting silver prices
through their undeclaredpurchases, and remember I told
you last year like this wasRussia was adding silver as a
(18:37):
strategic reserve asset.
Silver prices may be benefitingfrom undeclared but substantial
buying from by russia's centralbank.
According to journalist timtreygold, silver is moving out
of a long shadow cast by gold,its precious metal sister.
Treygold rolled on a forbesarticle on tuesday evening with
(19:00):
hints of major new buyer,russia's central bank, starting
to influence the silver price,which has risen to a 14-year
high.
He noted that, while Russiadata is difficult to come by the
silver price has outperformedgold ever since Russia announced
at the end of September that itplans to add silver to its
state reserve fund for the firsttime.
(19:23):
Part of the reason for silver's30.6% rise since early January,
compared with gold's 27.5%increase, is a simple case of
silver trying to catch up withgold, which has been a commodity
sector star for the past threeyears, if you remember.
So gold has hit its all-timehigh like 25 times in the last
(19:44):
year, and silver's all-time highis still 1980.
It's why I tell people I lovegold.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I think it's a great store ofvalue.
It's a monetary metal.
It has all the upside things Italk about.
(20:05):
But truly, if you're long, ifyou're willing to wait around
because it'll exhaust you,because you think you're going
to get a quick turnaround, ifyou'll, if you look at silver
and again, its all-time high was45 years ago, something has to
move it.
Well, you know, if you'rerussia and you don't, you're not
subject to and nobody's takenthis mantle that the reason that
silver hit a 52 high in 1980sbecause the hunt family in Texas
, they started running up silverphysical delivery and they were
(20:31):
deep stated for their trouble.
They were bankrupted by thestate because it what it showed
was there was something terriblywrong with the dollar.
So they were shut down andthere was a used means of you
know contracts and margin callsand other things.
But at its high it reached thatin 1980, which gosh.
(20:52):
That's like $300 today inpurchasing power, maybe more who
knows it was.
It's an it's unthinkable.
Uh, if you look at how weaksilver has been, to compare it
to 1980 prices at this time.
But we still haven't reachedthat in today's dollar term.
So I think that it's got somuch more room to run.
(21:12):
Silver has been slower off themark, lacking buyers with the
firepower of central banks orwell-funded exchange trade funds
and rich private buyers, hewrote.
But if the russian central bankis quietly building a silver
stockpile, as it seems to be thecase, then it's possible to see
other banks aligned to russiafollowing its lead.
That's true, it only takes oneand I think the threat of in the
(21:40):
past history, the communication, the lesson learned with what
happened to the hunt family intexas is don't touch that.
Nobody ever did again and itwould have been easy to corner,
like you could have had abillionaire could have cornered
the silver market and drove that.
Then you have other actors likejp morgan chase, who is the
largest holder of silver butwants to suppress the price and
(22:03):
you kind of want, like, what arethey doing?
I think it's a long-term play,ladies and gentlemen.
I think russia has run thesimulations.
They're figuring it out too.
Plus, it's a race for in this,the bricks nations just had
their summit and this is a racein the world to get to the most
commodities.
To get to the most commodities,to get to the most rare earth,
(22:24):
minerals, the most preciousmetals, the most resources,
natural resources.
And in a fiat world of infinite, that which is finite will win
out.
Gold will always win,especially, it always has.
(22:48):
It will always come back.
Um, it's the end game ofgresham's law.
Gresham's law says that whenbad money enters a system, good
money goes into hiding.
That's basically what thatmeans and that's why it drives
out.
You don't see.
You know in the exchange ofthings that you don't see actual
, real money being used becausebad money is in the system.
But those things always comeback.
(23:08):
It's just the natural order ofthings.
Tregold suggested that Russia'sBRICS partners, including China,
india and Brazil, may also beon board with their strategy of
precious metals accumulation inorder to move away from the US
dollar in international trade.
Part of the BRICS plan is toaccumulate gold as they look for
(23:31):
a way to bypass the dollar.
Though, with the gold pricehovering close to an all-time
high, that action has beenhugely expensive.
He said Silver, which hasalways been seen as an
alternative to gold, even to thepoint of acquiring an unkind
nickname of the poor man's gold,might enable members of the
BRICS group to push on withtheir plan to break free of the
(23:54):
dollar.
That would be an interestingSee.
Silver might be one of thebiggest plays that you could
actually make right now as anation's state, besides
something like gold, besidesBitcoin, because it's just got
that price.
I mean, it's just cheap, it'ssuper cheap and it's not
plentiful.
The above ground supply lastyear they had to take from it
(24:18):
was it was a 200 plus millionounce deficit.
In 2024 200 plus million ouncesprobably, I think it's 230
million ounces there was adeficit, so they had that's
everything that was being minedand produced.
They had to go take it from theabove ground supply, and that's
only increasing.
(24:42):
The biggest factor at work inthe silver market today appears
to be the investment demand,with the metal increasingly seen
as a gold substitute, alongwith platinum, another precious
metal, with a growing investmentfollowing and a rising price.
That's true.
Platinum is also moved.
This is why not everyonebelieves the goldver ratio is
(25:03):
still a useful measure of therelative value of the two metals
.
He said the entry of a newclass of buyer could be
significant.
There's been no further newssince Russia's central bank last
year announced that it wouldadd silver to the country's
precious metal reserves,dominated by gold and platinum.
But the relatively strongperformance recently by silver
(25:30):
compared with gold could be anindication of increased central
bank activity in the central inthe uh silver market.
I've been thinking the samething because this is, you know,
silver again, monetary metal,industrial metal, the most
thermo conductive metal, youshould add.
(25:50):
That's what that would be anexcellent strategic reserve
asset.
The Chinese used to be primarilysilver, about silver, about uh,
prior to the communist takeover.
I fell asleep listening to a, anarrative history of gold that
I've had for a while and I justput it on last night I woke up
(26:13):
to and it was talking about the,the era of gold, and with Mao
Zedong and the communist Chinese, and how strange, how strange
they are.
The communists always do this.
They always acquire the goldand then they stop everybody
else from having it.
It's funny.
They and they'll shame it.
It'll do so.
It always comes back, but theyacquire it first.
(26:34):
You know they get of it andthey shame or go after people
that have it.
It's funny for somebody thatyou're not supposed to care
about wealth.
I thought you didn't like money.
I thought this was all.
You know, we're all equally foreach, for each his own.
You know, whatever the, theMarxian uh edict is, you know
for uh to to your own labors andall the things you get rewarded
(26:58):
for for just showing up.
But yeah, that's an interestinghistory.
He didn't start coming backaround until Ma Tse-Tung passed
away, until he died, and thenthey brought that.
They definitely brought that.
Cho In-Lai, I believe, was hisoperator and kind of like a
(27:19):
Secretary of State.
They started looking atbringing gold back and now they
have 60,000 gold mines massivereserves, by the way.
Okay, well, that's interesting.
On silver folks, I'll go to thecomments here in a second.
I want to get into some otherarticles.
(27:41):
But something to watch there'sstate actors now participating
in the accumulation of silver.
We have all these other factors.
You're going to see more ofthis movement.
I've figured out over the yearsthat too many predictions on
pricing of silver can get you introuble.
So I try not to make that.
But I would be a terribleanalyst if I didn't say that I'm
(28:07):
really looking for it to dosomething near its all-time high
.
Again, don't buy from mebecause you think it's going to
break its all-time high in thenext 24 hours or something.
But I see that happening.
I see that silver doingsomething moving.
I think it's just physics, Ithink it's just math.
(28:27):
I mean, it'll break free ofwhatever's been holding it back.
It looks like some of thoseforces are no longer able to
suppress it.
It looks like we're seeing amove here.
I think it's pretty historic.
So pay attention to that.
All right, let me go to the chatreal quick.
And again we're over on Rumble.
(28:50):
Yeah, kenny F in power sayshalf dollars were 40% through 40
through 69.
Yeah, it's up to 70 and uh,yeah, we do, we do sell some of
those.
But you know, I I like the 40percenters.
We usually give really gooddeals on them.
But um, I do want a 90 coin.
(29:13):
That's the majority of thestuff that I put through
wolfpack or sell.
Uh, kenny f empowers I.
Tony, I would love to see youtalk with ben hameen from hameen
media group.
One day he ran a conspiracyhorseman for seven years.
I I believe we've spoken.
I believe I think he's been onum america unplug, but I'll go
(29:38):
on anybody's show.
Yeah, I see Harps is in thechat.
It's good to see.
I'm trying to go through allthis.
Appreciate you guys.
Let's see.
Oh good, 804 Marty Marty sayssounding great on shortwave
(30:02):
radio today.
Well, I'm glad.
So that's one technical glitch.
I didn't have to endure that.
We're still.
We're going out over WWCR.
Tony, I don't hear many peopletalking about Senator Lee's move
to sell public land.
I know he's.
I know the latest was stoppedin the BBB, the big beautiful
(30:27):
bill.
Yeah, I've read more into thatand you know my take was as far
as like, if Americans, like ifyou could break it up, like
where actual American citizenscould buy more land and get a
deal from the government orsomething like that automaton
for satan or you know, or aforeign national that you know
(30:48):
is just here to you know, rip usoff of our resources or
whatever you know, or gain someleverage or foothold or whatever
.
I'm against that, obviously.
But yeah, until there'sclarification, I this, the whole
(31:11):
thing just reeks and uh, youshould say I mean the amount of
foreign.
Um, you know we don't get to dothat.
You can't.
It's.
It's a hard, hard process toown land and a foreign nation.
Only we would invite people todo that, and of course that's
our politicians and other things.
But yeah, that is a.
(31:31):
That's a very alarming thing.
That's a very alarming thing,says Tony.
Kenny F in Paris says Tonyalways sounds good as strong at
calming voice.
I can't stand all the hoststhat do nothing but shout and
yell everything.
I know that is a like a vibe.
(31:53):
You got to work on it, justlike trying to remain calm in
the face of everything.
Like it's it is.
It's unnerving.
You know, to live in this world.
I've been doing it for a while.
As far as this world of what Ibroadcast into, if you know me
personally, I'm not muchdifferent off the air, although
I might be a little bit morereserved off the air depending
(32:14):
on how my mood is.
I've been told that I'm themost intense person that people
meet and they're like you know,I kind of go.
Really, is it that bad?
But apparently I'm very intense.
But that's good.
I like my work.
Oh, an Australian.
What do you call Australiancurrency Harps.
(32:35):
Is it just?
Gold is $5,146 Aussie dollars.
Yeah, bronxstomper 111 says theSaudis own hundreds of
thousands of acres in the USthat solely raise alfalfa hay
that they ship home, yeah, yeah.
And then there's these giantagain, even if it's internal,
(32:58):
these multinational corporationsand giant agribusiness that end
up getting their welfare queensand stuff.
We went to the article last week.
It's the Australian dollar.
I thought so.
The term dollar comes from aBavarian silver coin that was
(33:21):
made, so it's basically German.
And that's where you get thatderivative of dollar.
Dollars.
That's a pretty common use.
You ever notice that the olddollar sign used to have two
slashes through it and then theywent to one.
Isn't that interesting.
I always follow.
I look at the old stuff andthere's two and then they went
(33:43):
to one.
I was like, why did you go to?
Why not the two anymore?
Was that ceremonial?
Yeah, let me go to.
Let me check the chat over onRumble too.
We're on the Rble, uh, unplugchannel.
Let me check everybody overhere.
Oh, birdhouse blue is alwaysgood to see birdhouse.
(34:06):
Well, he makes some great aistuff of me and beans and the
crew over at america unplugged.
It's good to see birdhouseguard goldsmiths in the chat.
I love the idea of selling thefed lands and tony's point is
the key keeping the corporationsout of it.
Yeah, I'd love to get that into.
If you could find a way tolegitimately get into the hands
(34:29):
of american citizens and peoplethat would do something with it.
Uh, that would be great, but wedon't have that built in.
So it seems like ourpoliticians acting as real
estate agents for foreignnationals and multinationals is
par for the course.
Let's see.
(34:54):
Yeah, can't wait to see Cecilia14.
I can't wait to see David again.
I can't wait to see Cecilia 14,.
I can't wait to see David again.
I can't wait to see David again.
I miss talking to him everyweek.
I get to talk to Travis, but Ithink my brain will start to
atrophy over time.
I had to talk to David Knightevery like I got to.
I got to talk to David Knightevery Thursday and it makes you
a much better broadcaster.
(35:18):
Let's see Little Johnny boy.
I'm calling you after the show.
Tony, 10 silver coins please.
Yeah, you can call and give usa call.
We've got uh, I got, a saleright now on American one ounce
silver Eagles.
We're beating everybody and youjust got to buy them 10 or 20
at a time.
I bought like 1500 over thepast few days.
(35:39):
So I got tons of americansilver eagle.
We got a deal going on freeshipping and we just uh, and of
course you got to pay throughthe e-check.
All right, I'm sorry I can'tget to everybody on the chat.
I want to make sure I getthrough some more articles.
Let's see, let's go.
We went, we got anything on.
(36:00):
I went through some stuff ongold earlier this morning, but
let me X out of this and let'ssee what else I was able to pull
up.
There was so much stuff.
And then, of course, somethingI mentioned with Travis today.
(36:20):
Let's go and put this isactivist post.
We'll talk about this and thenwe'll jump into the epstein
article because don's got to.
Don has so much great stuff.
I can't cover everything thathe does, and when he does have
an article and happens to landon the day that I'm broadcasting
, I want to talk about don.
I'm going to go over his uh,his work, for sure, but let's
(36:42):
put this up on the screen.
So many young people have beenpriced out of the home markets,
priced out of everything.
I mean it's.
I saw an article today and Ididn't have time to cover it,
but I was.
Was going to ask my son aboutit, but it was noticing the Gen
Z stare.
(37:03):
These kids, they don't reallywant to work.
They're just like I don't eventhey don't feel like the same
societal constraints that you orI did, or millennials.
(37:24):
And I'm Gen X and of course Ithink Gen X and Gen Z are
probably very similar in somerespects, more so than
millennials.
But it's interesting to To seewhat the and, of course, the
kids that were raised withdevices and you're seeing that
that's going to be.
There is something to that withAI and the rise of that.
(37:49):
I got a clip.
I'll show you guys here in asecond after we get through this
article.
It's bizarre With the WorldEconomic Forum and Klaus Schwab
and the singularity.
It's like they're trainingthese kids to not be present,
which, if you're not present inthe moment which I understand,
it's very hard to do Like mentalhealth, if you're either living
(38:11):
in the past or you're living inthe future.
It's like something Lao Tzusaid If you're living in the
past, you're depressed.
If you're living in the future,you're like something Lao Tzu
said If you're living in thepast, you're depressed If you're
living in the future.
You're anxious, you've gotanxiety, you've got to find out
how to be in the moment, whichis very hard to do if you're
doom scrolling or you can't getoff your device or whatever, and
I have to do so much for mybusiness and be plugged in.
It is insane.
(38:32):
But if you're a kid, I rememberactually thinking and dreaming.
When I was a kid, I didn't havethis stuff.
You had TV, but it's not thesame, you know.
Imagine, just imagine if you'rea kid and you just took your TV
everywhere and you're in thecar with your mom and you had
your TV.
Imagine just like the amount ofTV and interacting with the TV
or talking to it or, you know,messaging through it would just
(38:52):
is so much, and you're pluggedinto this thing, this, this
black mirror in your hand, much,and you're plugged into this
thing, this, this black mirrorin your hand, and um.
So there's a reason, though,that these kids are feeling so,
you know, I think, and it's likethere's an economic reason, not
just a spiritual reason, whythey're feeling so left out.
(39:13):
Let me put this up, thisactivist post, by the way, great
website.
I talked, talked to CharlieRobinson, my good friend
yesterday and Wise Wolf is goingto be a proud sponsor of
Activist Post.
So please go over there andsubscribe to everything
Charlie's doing.
It's a great, I mean.
It's a fantastic website veryclean, uh, not a bunch of
(39:40):
garbage over there.
I mean I know the owner, I knowwhat, I know what his research
level style is and I know what,uh, his values are.
So please go support charlieand, uh, share the links around.
It's a, it's a great project.
But says this is activist post.
He's reprinted something frombitcoin magazine.
Says bitcoin is draining thevalue out of real estate and
regard this is even a.
This isn't even about in mymind.
(40:02):
I'm not even promoting bitcoin,even though I have a bitcoin
company I'm not promoting.
I'm just saying this is, thisis where we're headed.
Because they've been the damagedone to the financial system
through fiat and through thefederal reserve, through the
magic trick, that silent weaponfor quiet wars, it's made it to
where people are exiting thehousing market.
(40:26):
It says.
With nearly 400 trillion inglobal value, real estate is the
world's largest asset class,over three times the size of the
global stock market and nearlyfour times global GDP.
As more people have put theirsavings in real estate houses
have evolved from shelter toinflation, hedging assets that
(40:49):
carry a significant monetarypremium.
Whether it's San Francisco,london or Prague, residential
and commercial landlords keepinvesting in more buildings
despite only earning 3% netrental yield.
The reason is very simple Realestate makes for great
collateral, this is true.
This is where you get into thecyclical way of.
(41:13):
That's why the uber wealthydon't fight the tax code,
because they like it, becauseit's it rewards going into debt.
You just buy the assets, borrowfrom the assets and, you know,
create the holding companies andyou can do that if you, you can
live on debt and, um, you know,leave it, leave the uh, the tax
(41:33):
code and the the burdens to theplebs is what they think.
In normal market conditions,banks are always happy to lend
against real estate, which iswhy nearly everyone can get a
mortgage.
With mortgages, property ownerscan access liquidity through
initial financing, refinancing,second loans and home equity
lines of credit.
Despite the excesses thattriggered the 2008 crisis, this
(41:56):
system has largely worked.
Mortgages have democratizedcredit, offering liquidity
without giving up ownership, hesays.
But here's a question why onlyreal estate?
Imagine you're a lenderchoosing between three borrowers
One offers gold, anotherFerrari and a third is a house.
Technically, all can becollateral, but in practice, the
(42:17):
house wins every time he sayswhy gold can easily be
transferred overseas and carscan be driven away, but real
estate is tied to land.
As long as the state enforcesproperty rights, the lender's
position is secured.
Well, what if there is a form ofcollateral that didn't even
rely on legal enforcement, thatjust talks about Bitcoin?
(42:39):
That's why I think I've beenfunny, because I brought this up
like a week ago and then it'sfunny because your mind kind of
anticipates the way it works.
If you have that time to thinkand I'll do this when I drive a
lot I'll just zone out and youknow, know, have no music on,
(43:00):
I'll just be me talking to beansor just sitting and thinking
and a lot of this stuff will.
This will pop up in my mindabout people grabbing digital
real estate, digital terrain,because, as collateral, bitcoin
outperforms real estate onnearly every metric.
It's always available, globallyrecognized, initially and
instantly transferable,programmable and secured by
(43:22):
cryptography rather than legalsystems.
While selling a propertyrequires navigating local
markets, appraisal fees, capitalcontrols and regulatory hurdles
, liquidating Bitcoin collateralcan be as simple as clicking
one button.
Liquidating Bitcoin collateralcan be as simple as clicking one
button.
And if borrowing againstBitcoin becomes easier, safer
(43:43):
and cheaper than borrowingagainst real estate, why would
anybody store wealth in houses?
And it says that.
The article says simple, theywon't.
Well, there's another reasonfor that too, and it's because
they're being priced out of it.
And you have these giantconglomerates like BlackRock
buying swaths of neighborhoodsand outbidding people.
(44:04):
Meanwhile, you have things likethe big, beautiful bill, or
we're going to fire JeromePowell or whatever, just lower
rates and we're going tocontinue.
That inflates it even further.
You don't have a necessary.
You don't have these necessarysetbacks and resets of markets.
You just continue to inflatethe bubble and you're just
(44:24):
leaving people behind.
So, generally speaking, realestate's value is determined
based on the cash flows theproperty can generate, plus a
market driven monetary premium.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, ispure expression of monetary
value, unburdened by physicalconstraints of ownership cost.
As more capital flows intoBitcoin-backed credit markets,
(44:47):
this monetary premium baked intoproperty will inevitably
collapse and real estate willreturn to its utility value.
Some indicators suggest this isalready happening.
Yeah, this is.
They've already observed thisphenomenon of people flocking to
bitcoin outside of property,the ultimate hedge against
(45:10):
central banks and the dangersthey bring.
Well, I don't.
I say it's a mixed bag.
It's not just one thing I likeI love bitcoin, but a lot of the
bitcoin maxis are like that'severything.
I don't think it's everything,but I think it's one of the
things.
It's in the basket.
Put it in the basket.
It says Bitcoin is poised totake a significant bite out of
(45:35):
real estate dominance.
This is not just because itperforms better as a store of
value, but because lenders willprefer it as a frictionless,
programmable and borderlesscollateral.
Yeah, they can hold it like youcan just transfer it, and
that's a great way.
It's funny because I was lookingat my holdings of bitcoin.
I've been able to accumulateover the last four or five years
(45:58):
and and uh, you know I wasn'table to keep the Bitcoin I
bought when I first startedthrough my first machines.
Because I couldn't, because Iwas.
I had every transaction I had.
I didn't afford it.
It would have definitelychanged my world had I been able
to keep it.
But I was talking to CharlieRobinson too.
We were having thisconversation and I said you know
(46:21):
what I'm going to do.
I said I've looked at how muchI have and I will ride that into
.
I will ride that to nothing.
I will ride it to zero.
Either it's going either it'slife-changing, it's going to do
something or I'm going to rideit to zero.
I will never sell.
I'll never sell what I'veaccumulated ever, ever, ever.
You can borrow against it andthat's tax-free and usually it's
about 50%.
(46:42):
So if you have like a wholeBitcoin right now, you could get
60K or something like that inborrowed funds.
You got to pay it back, but youstill own the amount of Bitcoin
.
So digital territory is thefuture in a lot of ways.
Because of these issues ofbeing priced out of the home
(47:02):
market to begin with, it's notjust that Bitcoin's a better
asset At least it's.
The inflationary policies havecaused and, of course, excluded,
entire generations of Americans.
Now, unfortunately and I saythat sadly All right, let's jump
(47:26):
into this article with Don.
I want to see how much I cancover.
Again, if you want to look intoowning some Bitcoin, you just
give us a call at the trade desk, with Wise Wolf happy to take
care of you.
It's a white glove service, soyou might pay a little bit more,
but we help you set up yourwallet and you're dealing with a
(47:48):
person, it's not a computer.
All right, let me put this onthe screen.
All right, I'm at the shop andI hear my son's German Shepherd.
She wants in this office verybadly.
Beth wants to come in here andsay hi, she hasn't seen me in a
(48:10):
minute so she's whining.
We can't do it, though.
We're live Again.
Lou Rockwell dot com.
Donald Jeffrey's Epstein secrets, lies and videotape.
This is after Donald Trumpembarrassed himself by berating
a reporter with Are you stilltalking about Jeffrey Epstein.
It seemed likely that he wouldflip-flop and say something to
(48:34):
encourage his now disappointedbase, but he did nothing of the
sort.
Instead, he took to Truth'ssocial media and produced an
unfathomable rant.
He says the Post deserves to bequoted extensively.
He says what's going on with myboys and, in some cases, gals?
They're all going afterAttorney General Pam Bondi,
(48:56):
who's doing a fantastic job.
We're on one team, maga, and Idon't like what's happening.
We have a perfectadministration, the talk of the
world and selfish people aretrying to hurt it all over a guy
who never dies Jeffrey Epstein.
For years, it's Epstein allover again.
(49:20):
But why are we giving publicityto files written by Obama,
crooked Hillary, comey, brennanand the losers and criminals of
the Biden administration whoconned the world with the Russia
Russia hoax, the laptop fromhell and more.
They created the Epstein files,just like they created the fake
(49:41):
Hillary Clinton ChristopherSteele dossier that they used on
me.
Why didn't these radical leftlunatics release the Epstein
files?
So that's, don is right.
After the first time.
I've read the entire thing allthe way through.
There's some contradictorystatements in there.
Within two sentences he sayswhere do we begin to analyze
(50:04):
such verbal allegiance?
We have come to expect theabsurd boast, and having the
perfect administration fits innicely with having the strongest
economy in history and mostsecure border in history.
Is the line about epstein neverdying an inside baseball remark
alluding to the fact that he isalive, as many believe?
(50:27):
Trump now accuses Obama,hillary and the Biden
administration of creating theEpstein files.
If he believes that such thingsas Hunter Biden's laptop from
hell are more important, thenwhy isn't it being investigated
by the Justice Department?
Then why isn't it beinginvestigated by the Justice
Department?
That's a great question.
Remember that that happenedduring the election of 2020.
(50:50):
They just gave them that.
Imagine getting a sword likethat, like you have the ability,
and it was not used.
I remember because I covered iton my show and I thought
they're not even serious.
They're not even using this.
They didn't, and it was neverinvestigated.
By the way, only the guy whohad the laptop was who he left.
(51:12):
I mean, it borders on theunbelievable.
It's incredulous that that evenhappened.
But that is a weird story, partof something that actually did
happen.
But that is a weird story, partof something that actually did
happen.
So did Trump order Kash Pateland or Pam Bonney to investigate
voter fraud, particularly thedubious 2020 election?
(51:33):
Who has been deposed?
Who has been arrested?
Why aren't Comey and Hillary atleast being prosecuted for
Russia, russia, russia.
What Trump's delusional,surrealist statement comes down
to is a ridiculous defense ofnot investigating those who
abuse the young girls beingtrapped by Epstein Trumpenstein.
(51:54):
The actor is now being forced toplay an even more buffoonish
character, one who seemingly haszero awareness of how the MAGA
faithful are viewing hisrecently statements and his
administration's glaringacquiescence to the swamp.
To that swamp, he wants promiseto drain.
He knows that we know.
(52:16):
He knows it's like I love thathe isn't planning on looking
into Hunter Hunter's laptopanymore than he's is
investigating or reinvestigating9-11 or the JFK assassination.
Remember, not too long ago, herevealed that he's always
thought Oswald acted alone as hereleased the JFK files.
(52:39):
I have to say something on that.
If you are like me and you some, I mean you kind of a it's a
blessing and a curse, but Idon't usually forget any if I've
seen any political theater orlike a clip it or snip.
Back in the 2015-2016 primaries,trump was running against ted
(52:59):
cruz and rafael cruz.
Ted cruz's dad was.
He was a Cuban national andthere was some questions whether
or not he knew Oswald and, um,the national inquirer ran the
story or something close to that, and Trump brought that up like
on national to live about.
You know, I have some questions.
You're like, where was his dad,like during the death?
(53:20):
Like no, look that up.
Like dad, like during the death, like no, look that up, like
wow, we are in.
We are definitely in um, a newuncharted waters here.
All that to get to the pointwhere he goes.
Oh yeah, I think I was allacted alone.
And why are we still talkingabout this epstein guy?
I saw a video on instagram today.
(53:40):
Just I don't know why it wasdelivering to me because I
checked the feed in the morning.
I want to see what thealgorithm wants, because this is
something I think isinteresting.
And it sent me this lady who's,like you know, anti-tucker
Carlson.
Doesn't understand why is hebeing so mean to Ted Cruz?
It seems like he's lost hismind, he's not on the right side
(54:00):
.
And then why, candace Owens?
And you're like, oh, Iunderstand what you are, you
know, and I don't think she wasintelligent enough.
Sorry, I don't think sheunderstood like enough to be
like wickedly deceptive on herviewpoints.
I just think that's how she'stold, like through the
(54:21):
commentators that are on thisstandard narrative.
And, you know, a call went outlike we're gonna push back on
this and supposedly thathappened.
A lot of the influencers weretold to get back in line to maga
.
(54:41):
The national security staterequires as little information
as possible to be shared withthe unwashed masses.
Going back to the Nixon days,there have been constant battles
about insiders leakinginformation.
Yes, we cannot have the publiclearning about what they're
really doing.
Also, everyone in Washington DChates leakers as much as they
(55:04):
hate whistleblowers.
At least a few officials havedared to suggest that the likes
of Assange and Snowden shouldn'tbe prosecuted.
The leakers have no defenders.
What we were told went on inthe Soviet Union back when they
were the foreign hobgoblin ofchoice.
(55:25):
You may be starting to get thepicture.
Imagine if they really auditedthe Pentagon.
Imagine if they even just madethe budgets of the intelligence
agencies public.
They've never been, and none ofyour representatives are
demanding that they be disclosed.
If Jeffrey Epstein, dead oralive, had truly been
(55:47):
investigated and that notoriouslist of glittering celebrities
had been produced, it would havebeen the first such case of
transparency in my lifetime.
We've waited over 60 years toforce the release of JFK
assassination files, which wereclassified, even though the
government and thestate-controlled media assured
us that this was an act of alone, demented Marxist who
(56:14):
couldn't satisfy his wife.
For good measure, the CIAclaimed at the end of 2024 to
have released the lastclassified files from World War
I.
Countless files from World Wariremain hidden from the public.
Why that was the good war,remember?
What could we possibly have tohide about that?
(56:36):
There are files related toroswell, new mexico, that remain
classified.
You know where somethingcrashed in the desert in 1947.
Conspiracy theorists say it wasan alien craft.
The government says it was justa harmless weather balloon, but
it's keeping things secretanyhow, from the time that
Richard Nixon first popularizedthe term national security to
(56:59):
justify withholding informationduring Watergate.
Every politician has grownenamored with it.
This includes all of thoseelected officials who permitted
the southern border to be arevolving door over 40 years now
.
That's so true.
It's a tell, isn't it?
The border is a tell.
(57:20):
It's a tell after 9-11.
It was a tell for COVID-19-84.
It's a tell.
So it's a tell after 9-11.
It was a tell for covid 1984,like it's a tell for national
security.
It's a.
It's a true barometer for whatthey really think.
This is a great article.
(57:40):
I won't have time to finish allof it, unfortunately.
You go to go to don's page.
You go to donaldjeffriesmed'thave time to finish all of it,
unfortunately.
