Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_02 (00:04):
We have before us the opportunity to forge for
ourselves and for futuregenerations a new world order
good evening folks for listeningto the hour of the time.
I'm William Cooper.

SPEAKER_01 (00:23):
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 onthe behind the lines, this is
your song.

SPEAKER_02 (00:41):
Veteran of three foreign wars.
Entrepreneur and the warriorpoet.
Tony Araburn takes on the issuesfacing our country,
civilization, and planet.
This is the Araburn radiotransmission.

SPEAKER_00 (01:50):
This is the Arterburn Radio Transmission.
I am your host, Tony Arterburn.
I'm broadcasting from DeepWithin the Heart of Texas, live
in Denison with Beans the Brave,just off camera, here in my
office, and I'm watching live.
I'm watching Houston.
He is uh looking in some gold,seeing if it's real, seeing if
what the carrot is.

(02:10):
It's interesting.
I got a big window here, so I'mwatching all this happen.

unknown (02:14):
But I'm looking at that.

SPEAKER_00 (02:15):
I looked at the headlines just before I went
live.
I was pulling some some linksup, and I go to Drudge, and the
headlines of Drudge right now inreal time changed red, and it
says Trump calls for Dems to beexecuted and to hang them.
Now let's let up uh first here.

(02:35):
I've uh I've never seen thatkind of rhetoric come out of the
White House before, and I can'tuh through my Rolodex of history
in my mind, I can't think ofanother time that that language
has ever been used.
I know that there was anunmailed letter that Harry
Truman had.
He um said we should hang sometraitors and things.
This is, but he never mailed it.

(02:56):
He he just kept it in his desk.
He would do that, he would writeletters sometimes, and then he
got into a fight with uh averbal back and forth between
the uh a crit uh art critic oruh uh entertainment critic who
didn't like the way that hisdaughter um Margaret was
singing.
Um and that was kind of aninteresting back and forth, but

(03:17):
nothing like this.
This has never happened before.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonnathere's a couple articles I want
to cover on this subject, andthen the Senate vote for the
release of the Epstein filesthat I found highly interesting.
We're gonna do a little bit ofhit history today and uh things
that I didn't know, and Iactually did a little bit of
research before the show, and inconjunction with these articles,

(03:41):
so we'll get to that.
But it is the 20th of November2025.
And um I'm gonna I'm gonna talkabout some gold uh analysis
today as well.
Uh stuff's going on with theBitcoin market.
I've got an opinion, if you canbelieve that, I've got an
opinion about it.
And um, I think this is uh oneof those times in our lives when

(04:07):
so many mixed signals arehappening at once.
It's uh the discernment is veryimportant.
The stillness, the ability foryou to think through is going to
be very important.
So I'll see if I can conjure upa little bit of that spirit
today here on the Art of BurnRadio Transmission.
All right.
Let's um let's go to the firstarticle I wanted to get to on

(04:30):
gold.
And I talked to Travis Knightthis morning on the David Knight
show, and we had an interestingconversation.
Uh, I mentioned before I uh leftthat interview about an article
that's up on uh it's up onDrudge about The Economist
magazine.
And I want to talk about thecover of The Economist magazine
in 2026.

(04:51):
Today there's an article byMichael Snyder, and we're gonna
get into that.
But leading into the uh thedystopic uh 2026 cover of The
Economist, let's talk about thisarticle that's up on Kitco right
now.
And not that this is gonnasurprise you, but this is the

(05:11):
trend, and this is where thingsare going.
Uh, kitco.com, China led centralbank gold buying spree could
stress global markets.
Robust physical demand forplatinum and silver has
highlighted the fragility ofglobal supply chains, while the
gold market has not seen thesame kind of disruption.

(05:34):
It may be immune to similarvolatility, according to one
investment bank.
In their latest report,commodity analysis at Social
General said that they areclosely watching official sector
gold demand as they believeongoing central bank purchases
could lead to another shortsqueeze similar to what was seen

(05:55):
in silver and platinum.
Global central banks haveincreased their gold reserves by
roughly 1,000 tons in each ofthe last three years, although
demand is expected to beslightly weaker this year.
The World Gold Council forecaststhat the holdings could still
rise as much as 950 tons, wellabove long-term averages.

(06:19):
Well, this is important, folks,because uh a little bit of on
the ground analysis, a littlebit of open source intel, if you
will, from your humble host.
This gold's going somewhere.
Like uh we still sell gold atWisewolf.
I still I'm it's not like thegood old days, though.
It's not like the times that Ihad in 2021, 2022, uh, where we

(06:45):
were getting these large orders.
We still get those sometimes,but it's not the norm.
What you're watching is you'rewatching a transfer of wealth.
And this is, and we're gonna getto this in the Bitcoin analysis
as well.
But you're watching a transferfrom the middle to upper middle
class of average people,especially here in the United

(07:08):
States, that have some savings,the the baby boomer generation,
and it's passing upwards andit's going out of their hands
through places like me, up totrading houses and wholesalers,
and then on to central banks andmultinational conglomerates and
banking consortiums, into placeslike China.

(07:31):
So let's continue.
Instead of our previousassumption of central banks
selling U.S.
assets and diverting a smallproportion of into gold, we
could alternatively assume thatcentral banks reallocate an
additional 1% of their totalreserves into gold and do not
sell foreign assets, they said.
China alone would require 276tons alone, but if we sum all

(07:55):
across countries represented, wearrive at a very significant 762
of total flows.
See, what they're saying isChina used to be uh the greatest
holder of and buyer of U.S.
treasuries, and now they're thegreatest seller.
There's been an inversion here.

(08:17):
At the beginning of the 21stcentury, China started quietly
buying, by the way, off thebooks, buying massive amounts of
physical gold bullion.
Now that correlates with Chinabeing given most favored trading
status by George W.
Bush on December 11th, 2001, 90days after 9-11.
There was a lot of things thathappened economically after

(08:39):
that, right?
We lost the 55,000 factorieswithin a few years and one in
three manufacturing jobs, allthat stuff.
I've talked about that before,many, many, many times.
But they started quietly buying.
And for a while there was thistrade-off because they would buy
our treasuries, right?
We buy our treasuries, they usethe dollar.
So they're buying our debt.

(08:59):
And this offloading of U.S.
treasuries, which by the way,more central banks hold, they
hold more gold now than U.S.
treasuries for the first time.
And the same thing is happeningwith things like the Euro with
gold.
Like the the Euro used to be,used to be the dollar, and then
the Euro that was number twomost held central bank asset,

(09:21):
and now it's gold.
So gold supplanted the euro.
It's one it's one of the reasonswhy it's one of the reasons why
the Central Bank of Europe saidthat gold was a threat to the
economic order.
Although central bank demandremains robust, the World Gold

(09:41):
Council notes that 66% ofofficial purchases in the third
quarter have gone unreported.
Because central bank demands isoften opaque.
Analysis must estimate buyingusing a range of data sources.
They buy secretly, folks.
I remember a couple of yearsago, I was covering an article

(10:07):
on Zero Hedge, and they weretrying to figure out what this
whale had been buying massiveamounts of physical gold
bullion, not paper.
So this was the first story.
Like whale is buying this.
I mean, it was a massive amount,it was tons.
And about three weeks later,they said, Oh, by the way, that
story of who that whale was,that was the Chinese government.

(10:32):
They were buying secretly.
And if you look at too, I'veread articles from Kitko and the
analysis on how much gold Chinaactually has.
And it could be upwards to16,000 tons.
We're supposed to have, which isfunny because that's how much
gold we had at the end of WorldWar II.

(10:53):
Now we're supposed to have like8,500 tons.
But um, you know, we never gotthat Fort Knox audit, which Fort
Knox is supposed to have half ofit, the rest of it's supposed to
be spread across uh FederalReserve branch, the the uh
federal uh uh Federal Reserve uhout of New York.

(11:13):
The uh New York location.
It's I again that's uh the plotto die hard with with a
vengeance, I believe.
That's uh that's what we'resupposed to have.
One of the most this is theseare some of the most important
stories that you're gonna seeanywhere.
This is happening in real time.

(11:35):
So I thought I'd bring this toyour attention.
The Chinese are buying, andother countries are buying too.
A lot of it, that's a greatword, it's opaque.
Nobody knows exactly how thesecentral banks are, they're not
being transparent about it.
We do know that central bankdemand is high.
But this is going to drivemarkets, I promise you.

(11:55):
There is a squeeze that's goingto happen.
And it seems like it'splentiful, right?
Because you're just, especiallyif you're in the business like I
mean, you're seeing so much ofphysical gold and silver, but
it's flowing out.
It's flowing out of your hands,it's flowing out of the people's
hands into these soullessgovernments and corporations,

(12:17):
because they know what's coming.
If you know, if you look at theactual markets, if you look at
like what earnings are, what uhsupposed wealth is, what equity
is, you'll find that it's mostlygarbage.
And especially when things arebased in a failing currency, you
have a failing currency that'smetastasizing, it's its failures

(12:39):
metastasizing into all markets,not just the dollar folks.
This is all currencies aroundthe world.
It's based off nothing.
So you're pricing, you'repricing assets, real assets,
you're pricing equity in afailing currency, which is uh
you talk about a metric that'supside down, it's an inversion.

(13:00):
It's like, how well is golddoing?
It's like, no, the question youshould be asking is how bad is
the dollar doing?
The dollar's lost 50% of itspurchasing power against gold in
the last 12 months alone.
All right, one more article onKitCo.
I'll cover this really quick,and then we gotta I do this

(13:21):
every week, and that's whythere's there's almost no breaks
and no plugging in the show, ifyou've noticed.
We go from article to article,then I look up and I have three
minutes left.
All right, let's uh let's pullthis up too.
This was another important piecebecause it's parapolitics and
precious metals, folks.
I gotta cover it all.
All right.

(13:42):
Silver faces fifth annual supplydeficit as industrial demand
slumps but investment surges.
This is the Silver Institute.
A slowing economy is taking itstoll on silver's industrial
consumption, with demandexpected to fall by 4%.
However, demand won't fallenough to reset the current
imbalance in the marketplace.

(14:04):
Last week, the Silver Institutereiterated its outlook that
silver will see its fifth annualsupply deficit of 95 million
ounces.
Although the deficit issignificantly less than last
year's, analysts noted that it'sstill enough to support prices
at record highs.
Yeah, the year before it was uh225 million ounce deficit, and I

(14:26):
think the year before that itwas 200 million ounce deficit.
So I think the increase inprices over the last uh few
years has spurred some moremining.
And you got to remember, silvermining doesn't like the uh new
silver hitting the marketdoesn't come from like just a
silver mining operation.
Most of that is just ancillary.

(14:47):
It's it's gold miners and copperminers and nickel miners that
will go out and they'll getsilver also.
It's just like an also, youknow, an addition to.
And so you'll see silver hittingthe market.
So it's not enough, there's notbeen enough mining to support
the actual demand.
Although silver has twice beenunable to hold gains above$54 an

(15:11):
ounce, the selling pressure hasbeen limited.
Spot silver last traded at$50.75an ounce, and prices are up
nearly 76% so far this year.
Well, that's a good return.
While industrial demand has beenweak, the survey shows that
investment demand has been morethan made up for the drop.

(15:34):
Philip Newman, managing directorof Metals Focus, the British
research firm behind the annualsilver survey, said that inflows
into exchange traded funds, andthis is again this is paper,
folks.
This is just demand into paper.
Think about the actual physical,like the real physical silver
demand and the movements betweenvaults.
It's increased by 187 millionounces so far.

(15:58):
That's the inflows.
This reflects investors'concerns over stagflation, the
Federal Reserve's independence,government debts,
sustainability, the U.S.
dollar's role as a safe haven,and geopolitical risk.
Silver's exceptional priceperformance and its favorable
supply-demand backdrop havefurther reinforced investor

(16:19):
confidence.
Looking beyond investmentdemand, industrial consumption
is expected to fall to 665million ounces this year, down
2% from last year.
Well, these are all importantmetrics to watch.
And again, I want to reiteratethat silver, physical silver, is

(16:45):
in very short supply.
It's another aspect, and again,that they talked about in the
gold article about silver andplatinum and short squeeze and
the actual paper markets.
It was supposed, supposedly,hard to prove this, but
supposedly for every 250 ouncesthat were traded in those ETFs

(17:08):
and those paper markets, onlyone ounce existed in the real
world of physical silver.
And I've seen that in orders,and I've talked about this
before.
You know, and it's funny,there's archives and archives of
people who have been saying thisfor the longest time.
So the entire time I've beenalive, there's been a silver
shortage because this wasexposed in 1980 by the Hunt

(17:30):
family in Texas.
This was exposed to show theweak, not only the weakness of
the dollar, but the limitedsupply of actual silver.
And that's when the all-timehigh used to be$52.50 in 1980.
And it stayed that way up untilabout a month ago, about a month
and a half ago.
So all that time.
So nobody's, you know, again,that had to do with cornering

(17:52):
the market, it had to do withphysical silver deliveries, and
there was a whole backstorythere.
But we've seen this disparitybetween paper markets and
physical, real silver thatexists.
And now there is short squeezesand there's supply deficits and
the physical demand thatcontinues to go.
That's why you have you knowhundreds of millions of in the

(18:14):
last five years, hundreds ofmillions of ounces that are
missing from demand.
So you have to take from theabove-ground supply.
It was only a matter of timebefore you have weakness in the
dollar and you have demand, anduh, you know, the the market cap
of silver is only like I want tosay it's 2.3 trillion or

(18:36):
something, it's it's nothingcompared to what the rest of the
hundreds of trillions insupposed wealth in the global
market.
So silver has so much room tomove, especially with the dollar
doing so poorly.
So this kind of these kind ofstories where you just uh this
is the tip of the iceberg,folks.
I promise you.
Because as silver moves out ofand it's being liquidated, it's

(19:00):
moving into institutions,they're gonna store that.
It's not gonna flood back on themarket, that's gonna be stored
and borrowed against.
Like this is silver that's gonnabe stored for generations.
Same thing with gold.
You think that gold is movingout of people's hands and out of
smaller holders, and it's goingup, up, up the chain, and then

(19:21):
they're gonna pull the resetlever.
This only this stuff is onlygonna get more expensive over
time, not only because of theweakening of the dollar, but
because of actual scarcity.
There's a reason they call itthe great reset.
And uh that you'll own nothingand you'll be happy.

(19:44):
I don't I don't know about thehap the happy part.
They definitely want you to ownnothing, no real assets.
You could save your dollars.
Notice there's no psas onkeeping real money around.
Like it doesn't the the uhpublic service announcement
doesn't come on and tell you,make sure you have a little bit

(20:04):
of gold holdings.
Hedge against it, help yourfamily hedge against inflation.
No, they tell you to feed thepig.
You go to feedthepig.org.
Remember?
Put in your piggy bank, feedthat pig.
All right.
Let's get into I don't want todo politics, but this is a this

(20:25):
is a couple of really these areharbinger stories.
Okay.
If you're like me and you'veexited the political arena a
while ago, I care about liberty,I care about sovereignty, I care
about peace, I have ideals and Ihave values, and I stick to

(20:45):
those things.
I have a moral compass, at leastI hope so.
You know, I have uh what I'dlike to think of as ideological
integrity.
I like, I think, I think I dosomewhere, right?
But I'm not political becausepartisanship and politics is
where I it's where ideas andfreedom go to die.

(21:06):
It's where individualism goes todie.
If you look at somebody who'spartisan, where their team can
do no wrong and the other teamcan do no right, like it I don't
know what kind of world that is.
I find that's what talk radiodevolved into.
That's why I got out of it.
Like regular conservative talk,it used to be about ideas,

(21:27):
especially in the 90s and theearly 2000s.
I thought it was uh it was itwas a marketplace of ideas.
It turned into uh, you know,Democrats bad, Republicans good.
And that makes me uh want tohave a real-time aneurysm on
air.
Like I don't, I cannot do that.
It's so dumb.
And it takes it steals my soul.

(21:48):
Um, so partisanship and all therest of that.
I mean, again, if somebody doeswell in politics, I have to give
them a thumbs up.
I think that's a good idea.
If they do bad, then I criticizethem.
That's way too nuanced.
And you have to understand, too,if you're in media and you've
done radio, like I have for overa decade, and you've been, you

(22:10):
know, you know the circles andyou've been in politics and
you've ran for office and allthat stuff.
The money that you can make, andthat's why a lot of these bigger
hosts and stuff, they can't,their audience is kind of like
it is a it's almost like areverse hostage situation where
the the audience holds youhostage and because you have to

(22:30):
tell them what they want tohear, or you're gonna lose that
market share.
And luckily, I never had to dothat.
Um, it's not something I wasever interested in.
Even when I started in radio,they thought they were getting
like a I was a combat vet, sothey thought they were gonna get
like a Dan Crenshaw, and hereI'm playing Ron Paul clips and
talking about bringing thetroops home and it they or not
going into Syria.

(22:51):
Like that that was a that was abig topic back when I first
started radio, and they couldn'tbelieve I didn't want to get
into a new war.
So a lot of politics is uh let'sjust if for uh for lack of a
better description, weaponsgrade stupid, okay.
Uh but this is we're gonna coverthis a little bit, and I I want

(23:14):
to talk about the historicalprecedence here and why I'm
calling it a harbinger.
So if you watch the show, I I dothis, is it comes out of the
chaos in my mind.
I might not even know what I'mgonna talk about, maybe two
minutes before the show.
But then I'll think of what'sthe most useful I take from the
headlines, like running itthrough, like you can maybe run
it through your AI.

(23:34):
If you run it the headlinesthrough my mind, this is what
you get.
You get art, you get the show.
And so I try to talk aboutwhat's next, trends, things to
watch out for, try to be usefulbecause if I'm just sitting here
banging my fist on the uh desktelling you how stupid the left
is, that show's been done verysuccessfully, by the way.
Those shows make lots of moneyand leave their viewers uh with

(23:56):
no substance whatsoever.
So I don't want to do that, andI'll uh I'll forego the
sponsors.
Uh let's go to Zero Hedge.
This again, two stories that aregonna sum up, I think, a great
deal of what's to come.
Zero Hedge.
After flip-flopping tantrum,Trump signs bill to release the

(24:20):
Epstein files.
This is by Tyler Durden.
Says, let's review.
On the campaign trail, Trumppromised to release the Epstein
files, i.e., the list ofpowerful men who partook on
Jeffrey Epstein's network of sextrafficked young women.
After a few months in office, abrave reporter asked Trump, hey,

(24:41):
what about those Epstein filesyou promised?
Which drew a hostile responsefrom the commander-in-chief.
Why are we still talking aboutthat dead guy?
Who cares anyway?
That was the record needlescratch heard around the world,
the vibe shift that split thebase along weirdly partisan
lines that seem to have, forsome reason, pitted pro-Israel

(25:03):
conservatives like Ted Cruzagainst America conservatives
like Marjorie Taylor Green andThomas Massey, who have both
vehemently pushed for therelease of the Epstein files.
Well, I can tell you why,because Epstein was massad.
It's pretty simple.

(25:23):
And then all those people, likeTed Cruz says, why did Ted say
he ran for office?
He ran because he wanted to beIsrael's man in the Senate, the
most pro-Israel.
That's what he said to TuckerCarlson.
That's why he ran.
Like that's his raison debt, hisexistence for his whole reason
for being there.

(25:44):
So that's why.
And that filters down.
Like there's talking points andthings you must do.
After Trump's first tantrum atthe journalists, which split the
base, Pam Bomdi, Pam Bomdiinsisted that she had the
Epstein files on her desk andalluded to video evidence, only
to release binders of oldinformation to a group of

(26:06):
conservative influencers.
Somebody should have putquotations around conservative.
And by the way, are you are youstill a conservative in this
timeline?
Because what the hell are youconserving?
What is there left to conserve?
That's been the job of theso-called right in a weird way.
The left and progressives andthe uh Luciferians move the

(26:30):
ideological football, and thenthe job of the right is the
cuxervatives is to conserve whatthey've changed.
Notice nothing's ever rolledback.
Over the last two weeks, thingshave gotten interesting.
Democrats released a cachet ofEpstein emails mentioning Trump,

(26:50):
which essentially establishedthat Trump and the dead pedo
were pals.
Then House Republicans releaseda motherload of 20,000 documents
from Epstein's Estate, which inaddition to the Democrat
release, paints the followingpicture.
Trump and Epstein were pals.
They had a falling out.
Epstein then worked withDemocrats, and oddly, his good

(27:13):
friend Steve Bannon.
Oh, by the way, Steve Bannon hasover 15 hours of interviews,
footage that no one's ever seenof 2019 with Epstein.
I pointed that out years ago.
I'm like, does anybody realizethat Steve Bannon did that?
And then it's just never been astory, weirdly enough, huh?

(27:35):
That Epstein was arrested byBill Barr, whose pedocentric
father hired Epstein to teach atDalton School and died in
custody.
See, that's another thing.
What are the mathematicalchances of that?
Epstein's first job was to be tobe hired by Bill Barr's father

(27:58):
to work with kids.
Bill Barr eventually wouldbecome the attorney general, not
only for Trump, but would beattorney general for George H.W.
Bush, who was former head of theCIA and ambassador to China.
And then again, Bill Barr wasthe type of guy that would
defend someone like Lon Hiruchi,who shot Vicky Weaver in the

(28:20):
head while she was holding herchild at Ruby Ridge.
This is the FBI, quote unquotesniper.
A quick side note, uh, you know,there's some great operators out
there that are actual snipersand uh people that that are
amazing.
And then you hear people thatlike that, you know, somebody

(28:43):
that would shoot a motherholding her child uh on their
own property.
And then you wonder, would youeven use that title?
Would you want to be known asit?
Because a lot of the fake vetsare snipers.
You know that there everybody'sa sniper.
I always hear that a lot.
I'm just always, oh, you were?
There's like five guys thatwere.

(29:03):
It's not a big club.
I mean, they get a sniper tab.
That's pretty rare to even see.
You gotta be walking around FortBragg a while before you see one
of those.
Just just so you know.
Just when everybody somebodysays that.
Wonder if they're are you likeLon Haruchi?
Or are you fake or are you anactual sniper?

(29:24):
Alright.
Let me put this back on thescreen.
Actually, I wanted to.
Yeah, they changed StreamYard.
I used to be able just to have adifferent view, and I can't even
do it anymore.
Put this back up.
Let's put the whole thing up.

(29:46):
That said, it largely backfiredon Democrats, as we learned.
Uh Stacey Plaskett was textingback and forth with Epstein
during Michael Cohen's Get TrumpCongressional Testimony, right?
And this is I again I read intothis too.
House Minority Leader HakeemJeffries was hitting Epstein up
for dinner and fundraising.

(30:08):
Larry Summers, Bill Clinton'sformer Treasury Secretary and
Harvard president, just wentinto hiding because Epstein was
coaching him on how to cheat onhis wife with the daughter of a
former CCP official at Mente atHarvard.
Like this Chinese CommunistParty.

(30:28):
Well, there's a lot here tounpack.
So they anyway, they release thefiles.
But I want to we already knowthis story.
But I'm telling you, like, weknow this story.
But what's coming next?
And I want to get to this.
This is where I think this isthe big story.

(30:49):
This is where you want to seetrends.
I'm going to go to this articlefrom Natural News.
Let me stop this one and putthis one up because I want I
want to talk about this.
This is something highlyinteresting.
And I got to get through thisbecause I I want to get to this
Michael Snyder article.
See, I told you I picked toomany articles to try to put
enough into an actual hour ofradio.

(31:11):
Hold on.
Let's put this up.
This is on the surface, you'veyou don't think much of this,
folks, but let's really dig inhere.
This is naturalnews.com.
Unanimous Senate sends EpsteinFiles bill to Trump's desk.

(31:32):
Congress passed a bill mandatingthe release of the Epstein
files, sending the Epstein FilesTransparency Act to President
Trump's desk with overwhelmingbipartisan support.
The legislative process wasunusually rapid, driven by a
rare cross-party alliance in theHouse and the SWIFT unanimous

(31:53):
mover in the Senate to bypasstypical procedures.
The bill compels the Departmentof Justice to declassify and
release all records related toJeffrey Epstein and his
associates, which are believedto contain evidence that could
implicate high-reck rankingofficials.
Trump's public reversal was akey trigger after initial

(32:16):
resistance from hisadministration.
He posted on True Social Social,urging Republicans to vote for
release of the files.
The decision now rests withTrump, who faces immense
political pressure to sign thebill, a move that would unlock
documents with the potential fora significant political
reckoning.

(32:38):
Again, a stunning display ofbipartisan unity.
The U.S.
Congress has thrust thelong-secreted Jeffrey Epstein
files into the spotlight,delivering legislation to
President Donald Trump's desk.
Well, I want to go back to thatunanimous part.

(33:03):
Because if you want to covertrends, you want to know what's
next and how big that is.
And I thought, when is the lasttime that the Senate actually
voted unanimously?
Because I know there was, evenwith like the Gulf War and 9-11,

(33:27):
you go all the way back to WorldWar I and Two.
You could have some dissent.
I know Ron Paul dissented on uhthe authorization for force
after 9-11.
He won, he thought it should beproperly declared war, and there
should be, he thought that therewas uh some constitutional ways

(33:48):
to you know put out uh bountiesand things like that.
I mean, he just was trying to doit constitutionally.
It wasn't necessarily like hedidn't think there should be no
response, but it needed to beconstitutional.
There again, you went on twodifferent search engines, and I

(34:11):
vote I put in the question whenare the times the Senate has
voted unanimous in history?
And it couldn't give me ananswer.
It it just keeps bringing upboth chambers of Congress
overwhelmingly voted to pass abill forcing the Justice
Department to publicly releasethe files related to its
investigation of convicted sexoffender Jeffrey Epstein.
And this is how it goes allthrough the search history.

(34:33):
Again, I could be wrong.
I had a limited amount of time,but three different search
engines returned the same thing.
I again I can't think of off thetop of my head, I know there's
different, you know, even PearlHarbor, I think had a dissent.
Or, you know, like you go backto the Senate voting to censure

(34:59):
uh Joe McCarthy.
And there's some senators thatset out the vote that abstained
to vote, like John F.
Kennedy would not vote yay ornay against Joe McCarthy,
because Bobby Kennedy had workedfor Joe McCarthy.
And of course, he worked withRoy Cohn, who was Trump's

(35:22):
attorney.
Right.
There's all these littleconnective dots here.
But isn't that interesting?
That's never happened that Iknow of.
And again, three search enginescould be wrong, but that it
seems that's about right.
That that would be, and ithappened like that.
This is political kryptonite.

(35:43):
Like this is like there'ssomething to this, and we've
been building for all theseyears.
That's why you open up theheadlines of Drudge, and that's
what when I got, you know, Trumpcalls for Dems to be executed,
right?
Like this is this is uh somemelting down of the current

(36:05):
thing that you thought you werewatching.
This is like the script change.
It's like watching that movie,that Joaquin Phoenix movie,
Eddington.
Has anybody ever seen that?
Whoa, man.
You're watching the you you'rewatching the show and you think
it's one thing and it becomessomething completely different
and dark.
And that's kind of what I thinkI'm watching here.

(36:25):
It's like I thought I wasfollowing this and the
progression of this prettysmoothly, but something is
amiss.
So something to be aware of.
That's never happened before.
All right, I want to go to thechat.
Let's see if I've I've goteverybody over on Rumble.

(36:46):
You can follow the show over onthe America Unplugged channel
over on Rumble.
Yeah, real Jason Barker saysStreamYard changes have been
driving me nuts.
I know.
I I haven't had enough time tobecome reacquainted with
everything that they changed andall the updates.
So yeah, I'm with you, brother.

(37:08):
So we've got harps over in thechat.
It's good to see you guys.
Sorry I wasn't able to make itlast week.
Let's see.
Uh we've got uh Dustin Helm,howdy, Tony.
Good to see you, Dustin.
Always good to see your name inthe chat, brother.
And everybody over on YouTube.

(37:37):
Yeah, harp666.
Oh, look, uh, it's got a scope.
It's a sniper rifle, right?
150 yards.
Snipers shoot from any distanceand are trained to be stealth.
That's true.
Yeah, it annoys the crap out ofme when people say they're
snipers, right?
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I I hear that a lot.
I'm like, uh, there's only likefive of those.

(37:58):
I mean, I'm I'm being facetious,but just be weary of that kind
of talk.
All right.
The harp says, my anger, that'swhat I'm conserving.
Yeah, you're conserving your ownanger.
All right, let's uh let'scontinue.

(38:19):
I want to get to this articleover on this is Michael Snyder's
article.
And this is that talking aboutThe Economist.
I found some interesting historywith this too.
Let me put this up on thescreen.
I thought it was a great title.

(38:43):
Yeah, this is the cover of TheEconomist, The World Ahead 2026.
Super creepy.
The World Ahead 2026 magazinecover published by The Economist
shows they expect war,pestilence, and financial
collapse next year.
Well, that's what you're beingprimed for.

(39:05):
We've been primed for so much ofthis stuff.
If you even like look likepre-COVID-1984, like you go back
to before 2020, you can see thepriming.
We've been primed for all ofthis stuff for decades.
Just predictive programming justsinking into your subconscious.

(39:26):
There's one magazine thatrepresents the interests of the
global elite more than anyother.
It's known as the Economists.
And each year it puts out anissue that is dedicated to what
is coming in the year ahead.
We have seen so many timesbefore, these issues tend to be
alarmingly accurate.
The reason why they are soaccurate is because the
ultra-wealthy elite have anenormous amount of influence

(39:49):
over the course of human events.
If they are absolutelydetermined to make something
happen, there is a good chancethat it's going to happen.
Ominously, it appears that theyare anticipating a great deal of
global chaos in 2026.
The Economist has been aroundsince 1843, but it's never had a

(40:10):
very large readership among thegeneral population.
Ultimately, it's a publicationby the elite and for the elite.
And let's look at that for asecond, folks.
Um, let's look at that year,1843.
So the economist, and we'regoing to get to some ownership

(40:31):
of The Economist.
Who's behind The Economist?
And I used to subscribe to TheEconomist for a long time.
Uh I found it to be veryglobalist.
You know, I just I didn't thinkthey had I I subscribe to
Austrian economics and eveneconomic nationalism, other
things that, you know, that'swhy you can read things like,

(40:52):
you know, global affairs orwhatever, the Council on Foreign
Relations and Foreign PolicyMagazine, all the rest of that
stuff.
You can get into things likethat, but you're going, you're
just going to get theperspective of the global elite
or at least the planners.
And I already pretty much knowwhat that is.
But it's good that every once ina while I go pick up an issue.

(41:13):
But the interesting thing aboutthat, let's let's look at some
research.
I just just wanted to get someinsight on these timelines.
So 1843, The Economist magazinestarts, and it's in the by the
way, it emanates from the cityof London, if you know anything
about that.
Not just London itself, the cityof London, the financial heart,

(41:34):
the system.
And so I just typed in when didKarl Marx start working on the
communist theory, you know, theCommunist Manifesto.
Uh early 1840s.
So right then.
That's what I thought.
It's about the same time thatyou get the Economist magazine.
So just a little bit of sidenote history, that's where my

(41:56):
brain went because I looked atthat.
I go, oh, that's interesting.
1843.
That's uh about the same timeMarx was working on the
Communist Manifesto bingo.
Communist Manifesto uh publisheduh published in 1848.
Let's see.

(42:18):
Yeah, this is some of theownership.
Aside from the Agnelli family,small smaller shareholders in
the company include Cadbury,Rothschild, 21%, Schroeder,
Leighton, and other familyinterests, as well as a number
of staff and former staffshareholders.
A board of trustees formerlyappoints the editor who cannot
be removed without itspermission.
The Economist Newspaper Limitedis a wholly owned subsidiary of

(42:40):
the Economist Group.
Well, it's it's all thosepublications, the CFR, Council
on Foreign Relations, theTrilateral Commission, all that
stuff.
They have overseers.
This is a small, small group ofpeople.
It's like when Hillary Clintonwent to uh the Council on

(43:04):
Foreign Relations and she showsup.
I think when she's running, thisis the 2016 era.
And she came, she says, I Isometimes I'll just show up and
because I want to know what tothink.
If you wanted to know what theglobal elite are thinking, this
is the publication you need tobe reading.
And for the cover, the A WorldAhead in 2026 issue is perhaps

(43:27):
the most ominous that's everbeen published.
When you look at the cover, whatstands out to you?
To me, the fact that there areso many symbols relating to war
really got my attention.
Let's see.
There is a huge red tank on oneside of the cover, and another

(43:48):
huge red tank on the other sideof the cover.
At the top, there are severallarge missiles.
Look, they're ready to belaunched, and at the bottom
there are more large missiles.
Also, right in the middle, wesee two enormous swords that are
crossed.
This is clearly meant tosymbolize war.
I said on the show the otherday, I don't know if they're

(44:11):
still there.
I mean, this is the swords, anduh I think they are.
When you go into enter uhBaghdad, the uh there's two like
the giant hands.
Those were sculpted, like thoseare like uh on scale, those were
Saddam Hussein's hands that heldthe swords.
He put those in place as theentrance to Baghdad after the

(44:31):
Iran-Iraq war, in which we gaveuh Iraq uh a lot of um chemical
weapons and training and uhintelligence and other things.
So just so you know.
Obviously, they were theybelieve that war will continue
to be a major theme in 2026, andit is something that I have been

(44:52):
consistently warning about.
Again, this is Michael Snyder.
They also seem to think thatcertain individuals will
continue to be major players inworld affairs during the coming
year.
Uh Vladimir Zelensky is clearlyvisible in the upper right hand
portion of the cover.
Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin,Benjamin Netanyahu appear to be

(45:12):
depicted on the left-handportion of the cover.
And just like last year, DonaldTrump is right in the middle.
On Monday, Trump refused to ruleout the possibility of sending
U.S.
ground troops into Venezuela.
Asked if he would rule out U.S.
troops on the ground inVenezuela.
Trump replied, No, I don't ruleout anything.
I don't rule that out.

(45:36):
We just have to take care ofVenezuela, he added.
They dumped hundreds ofthousands of people into our
country from prisons.
Michael Schneider begins to say,Personally, I think this is a
trap.
Well, I mean, that's one way toput it.
Um it's an absolutelyunnecessary everything to do.

(45:56):
But if we go to war withVenezuela, a large portion of
our military forces will be tiedup and our relations with the
rest of the world will greatlysuffer.
And Trump is also suggestingthat military strikes in Mexico
and Colombia could be coming.
President Trump hinted at beingopen to sending military strikes

(46:17):
to Mexico and Colombia in orderto stop drugs on Monday, sending
chills across the region.
The president made the commentsduring a press conference on
Mondays.
He hosted a meeting with FIFAPresident Gianna and Fantino at
the White House.

(46:38):
That's insane.
I mean, read War as a Racket,folks.
It's just uh Smedley Butler, youknow, the most highly decorated
Marine Corps general, I believe,of all time.
He was was the most highlydecorated person, uh Marine, up
until his death in 1941, whowrote that book, War as a

(46:59):
Racket.
And he said, uh, I didn't go toSouth America on behalf of
democracy.
I went on behalf of the UnitedFruit Company.

unknown (47:12):
Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 (47:14):
This is what Trump goes on to say.
When I launched strikes onMexico to stop drugs, it's okay
with me.
Whatever we have to do to stopdrugs.
Mexico is.
I looked at Mexico City over theweekend, there's some big
problems over there.
If I had to, we would do whatwe're we've done to the
waterways.
I don't know what that's youknow.
Oh, he's talking about wherethey blew up the boats.

(47:36):
You know, there's almost nodrugs coming through our
waterways anymore.
It's down like 85%.
Well, I do know those peopletrafficking children and drugs,
and I want to know what happenedto all those uh organized people
in fatigues that I've seen oncameras numerous occasions, like

(47:59):
on the southern border,terrorizing ranchers and like
the not only that, but the likeecological damage that's been
done by them.
I don't think any of that hasdissipated.
But we have arrested some likeold cleaning ladies and things
out of their homes.
So congratulations.
On the other side of the globe,I expect conflict between Israel

(48:21):
and Iran to erupt again.
Again, this is Michael Snyder.
I expect the war in Ukraine tocontinue to escalate, and I will
be watching China very, veryclosely.
Getting back to the magazinecover, I also noticed that there
is a chart that seems to depictsome sort of financial crash
right under the cross swords.
It's not too far below thatchart.

(48:44):
This is a red image of a brokendollar sign.
You know, it's an interestingthing about the dollar sign.
The dollar sign used to have twoslashes, and the two slashes
were meant to represent thepillars inside King Solomon's
temple.
Uh Jochen and Boaz, like theagain, that's like uh Isaac

(49:07):
Newton studied this stuff, andit's very esoteric.
It's like wisdom, strength, andwisdom, you know, all that.
It's what the two pillars, andthen the two slashes went
through the S and the dollar.
But then they just went to one.
And I thought, did they do thatwhen we went to Fiat?
Because it was kind of like awink and a nod, like we're

(49:27):
taking away the solemn part ofthat, or the trustability, or
the um traditional part of that?
I'm not sure.
Something for you to think, butthat's uh the broken dollar sign
sounds about right.
In addition, throughout thebottom half of the graphic, it
looks like paper currency isfalling everywhere.
Wow, he says.

(49:48):
Obviously, they're trying tocommunicate something about the
global economy, and it certainlyisn't good.
Will 2026 be a year of financialcollapse?
We won't have to wait long tofind out.
I also noticed two giganticsyringes near the bottom of the
cover.
Oh, goody.

(50:10):
And throughout the cover, thereare lots of pills floating
around.
I started to count them, butthere are just too many.
So what does this mean?
Are they suggesting that anotherglobal pandemic is on the way?
Will 2026 be a year when peopleare taking shots and pills to
try to protect themselves frommajor pestilence that has broken

(50:31):
out?
Well, I don't think the shotsand pills would be a good idea.
Interestingly, or just maybeturn off the television.
If we do that last time, thatshould be your greatest
inoculation from if like youjust didn't have if you didn't
know that you're supposed to bevery, very afraid in the fetal
position, getting your uh$1,200relief bucks, uh binging Netflix

(50:55):
while your life burns down.
If you didn't know you weresupposed to do that, Ethiopia
has confirmed an outbreak ofdeadly Marbug virus in the south
of the country.
Is that how you say that?
Marburg?
The African Centers for DiseaseControl Prevention said on
Saturday the Marburg virus isone of the deadliest known

(51:19):
pathogens, like Ebola.
Yeah, I mean, you hear this kindof stuff.
This these things get floatedaround.
I was laughing to myself drivingthe other day, thinking about um
I went on the David Knight show.
This guy's just been four yearsago.
The years kind of blend intogether now, but I just laugh
because they remember thedifferent variants they would

(51:39):
come up with to different, andfinally they came up with
Omicron.
It was the Omicron variant.
And I'm like, I went on theDavid Knight show and I was
like, it reminds me of one ofthose old like early 50s B
movies when they'd be like, andit came from space.
We've had some fun times.

(52:00):
I looked over at my this is acouple years ago, and I realized
like 2020, I did a show everyday.
I did my daily show, and Ilooked over and I just saw all
the notes and things andarticles, and I've kept all of
them.
I should have just kept them inin perpetuity and put them in
storage because uh there's somegreat stories in there.

(52:22):
Like the amount of psychologicalstress and damage that was done
to our society and uhpsychological war that was waged
on us, the mind control, likeit's it's enormous.
Like that we sort of like we'veif you come out the other side
of that and you can laugh at itand realize like you know just

(52:42):
just how nuts that was, uh thenyou're probably just one of
God's people and He's protectingyou if you can get through that.
Because it would take God'sprotection to get you through
that kind of mind control, or atleast God's mercy.
Michael Snyder says, Personally,I'm convinced that pestilence
will be a major theme in 2026.

(53:03):
I hope that all of you have beengetting ready for that, he says.
Lastly, I wanted to mention thegiant raised fist near the top
of the cover.
A raised fist has been theprimary symbol for resistance to
the Trump administration.
And I don't think that is anaccident.
This giant raised fist has beenplaced right in the top of the

(53:24):
American flag in the graphic.
Are the global elite planningcivil unrest in major U.S.
cities in 2026?
We know they have been lavishlyfunding far-left protest groups
in this country.
They fund both.
Can we be clear on that?
They fund both.

(53:45):
If you find, you know, my sonwas asking me about a particular
influencer yesterday.
He said, What do you think aboutit?
And I thought, well, I don'tthink that he helps if you
really get down to it.
You I think um know yourhistory, know your philosophy,
like your greatest minds of alltime.

(54:05):
They weren't extremist in someand you I know the Barry
Goldwater quote, you know, uhextremism in defense of liberty
is no vice.
And it isn't.
I mean, in the sense of beingsomeone who supports absolute
rights, absolute speech, youknow, absolute uh God-given
sovereignty over yourself.

(54:26):
If that makes you an extremist,I don't think that does.
I'm talking about certain typesof views, especially racial and
other things that are fringe, orthey're you're against, I mean,
you read Aristotle.
And the Greeks had this idea,and this goes back to the the

(54:47):
Odyssey and the even beforewritten philosophy in in the
Greco-Roman tradition, was theidea of the golden mean.
It's right down the middle.
And it doesn't mean that youcan't, you know, you can see
value from both ends or bothsides and all around, and like
Robert Kiyosaki says, he saysthe coin has three sides heads,

(55:12):
tails, and the side of the coin,the edge.
So I think a lot of the theythey fund both sides.
I think you'll find that.
But when this is all said anddone, we're we're being
manipulated.
We're being we're being pushedinto pre-subscribed camps

(55:32):
ideologically for our politics,for ourselves.
And this is easy, it's easier tocontrol us that way.
Let's see, and go back to thearticle.
Will 2026 be a year when massprotests against Trump go to the
next level?

(55:52):
Yeah, I think so.
Michael Snyder's a bit of aTrump guy.
Okay, it's fine.
But he's asking good questions.
So I think they fully intend tounleash chaos, and that fits
perfectly with what I'mexpecting, too.
Unfortunately, for the elite, Ido not believe they will be able
to control the chaos that iscoming.
Well, I don't think they areeither, and I don't think they

(56:13):
intend to control it.
That's the thing about being theelite.
You get to kind of walk throughthe raindrops, you know.
You got generational wealth, youcan go anywhere you want.
You know, nobody talks aboutDeagle anymore.
Remember the Deagle report?
It's 2025.
It's not that far off.
It's supposed to be 2025 by thattime, but you know.

(56:36):
We should talk about Deagleagain.
That should be brought back up.
I remember I learned about thatin 2018.
Let's explore what this is.
And one that starts, and once itstarts, nobody is going to be

(56:59):
able to wake up from it.
Well, only because we think it'sso.
And that's what predictiveprogramming is all about.
That this doesn't have to be theworld.
We can literally not have it.
But that's the current paradigmwe live in, you know, because

(57:21):
we're giving external control tosomeone else.
We think that's all external.
But if you change, it's like LaoTzu says, like, you know, if you
want to change the world, likeand I'm paraphrasing because
there's like five differentlayers to this quote, but this
is what Lao Tzu said.
It's basically you change theinner self.

(57:41):
You change your inner world, youchange your outer world.
And that's if we all starteddoing that, that's why as a
broadcaster, I'm not gonna cometo you with like it's not just
doom and gloom.
This is like this is, I think,in the Zeitgeist, which means
the spirit of the age.
So I'm showing you like amirror.
I think this is what I think thezeitgeist is, but it doesn't

(58:03):
have to be.
None of this stuff is what itterminator, you know.
She carves out no fate.
There is no fate but what wemake.
So I think all this is intended.
And they feed off this stuff,feed off of fear.
What's the number one phrase inthe in the whole Bible?

(58:24):
Do you remember that you knowthe number one phrase that's
repeated over and over again?
Be not afraid.
So interesting warning signs,good to know the signposts
ahead, but it doesn't have to bethe future.
And if you know this, planaccordingly.
That's what this show is for.
All right, folks, I will see younext week.

(58:44):
Um, well, uh actually, it's onThanksgiving, so I don't know.
Maybe I will, maybe I'll do aThanksgiving show.
Okay, I'll try.
And I might be having someturkey and beans will be here.
So we'll see.
I'd love to uh to talk to all ofyou.
And I hope you have a if Idon't, I hope you have a
wonderful Thanksgiving.
Uh thanks always for being here.
Uh Arterburn.gold is thewebsite.

(59:06):
You can go there.
Links to Wolfpack uhsubscription programs for
precious metals.
Get in on that, as Sam Tripoli,my friend, says.
Get in on the precious metalsgame.
You can do that.
Get physical precious metalsdelivered directly to your door.
Don't be, I mean, we'd love tobuy your metals if you need to
sell them, but uh don't give upyour gold, silver, or your
Bitcoin to the elites.

(59:27):
That's what's happening rightnow.
It's a big transfer of wealthhappening, and it's not what it
looks like.
But don't do it easily.
Don't go gentle in that to thatgood night, ladies and gents.
America Unplugged on Saturday,11 a.m.
Central Time, 12 Eastern, BillyRay Valentine, the legendary Don
Jeffries.
We'll see you then.
You guys take care of eachother.

(59:48):
End of transmission.
