Speaker 2 (01:04):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Are you guys ready? Are you guys ready or you
guys we are we are ready.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
We may be ready minded, but we're not ready bodied.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't know. This is a d This is a
long topic.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
This is when I suggested this. I'm I when as
I was preparing him, Like, I probably shouldn't have suggested this.
This is a that was a mistake. It was a mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, mistakes were made.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What did I get myself into?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
This is Yeah, mistakes were made in the filming of
this video.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well it's funny because I I've been thinking about twenty
twenty six for quite a while. Right from the positive mindset,
I'm like, okay, business schools, personal goals, Yeah, twenty twenty six,
that's the year the kicks, Like we're gonna just launch
a bunch of stuff. We're gonna get in the best
shape of my life. Blah blah blah. I'm gonna like
I got a baby coming, Like twenty twenty six should

(01:58):
be exciting. But I'm a little bit nervous because of
how twenty twenty five is gone, mostly in the international space,
geopolitical stuff. Like I just I'm trying to be positive

(02:22):
and I'm not seeing the evidence enough to back up
my positivity, if that makes any sense.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah. Now, as I was going through my list, I'm like,
what am I doing? What is there anything that's good
that's gonna happen in twenty six besides the new baby, right,
And so I spent some time thinking about that as well.
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I was talking to a friend who's a realtor and
he's like, how are things going? Or we were talking
about it. He goes, Man, it's getting crazy out there.
He's like, man, I just don't I just don't see
any any possibility of good things happening in the future.
And I was like positive and responding, Oh no, there's
so much to have good hope for it. It's like
you just got to get better prepared. And and that

(03:06):
was yesterday, and today I'm like going back through the
headlines and the things we've talked about for the year
and the things that I'm watching for next year, and
I'm like, oh, crap, I went down a rabbit hole.
That a deep, dark, gloomy, doomy rabbit hole. And I'm like,
this is gonna be a little heavy of an episode,
I think, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
And I was thinking, also, you know, instead of ending
with this note, maybe maybe start with it is don't
be afraid, do not fear right. That is why we
prepare right. If you're prepared to you shin a lot fear.
And I mean that's what Christ preached, you know, he
said that all the time, is do not fear. And

(03:46):
because a lot of the stuff he said was probably
pretty scary to some people. I mean, if you think
about it, you know he came to bring a sword
and not peace, right to divide people.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
What's crazy is they did that. There's always that and
never I haven't personally counted, but I've heard a lot
of people say that that do not fear is in
the Bible three hundred and sixty five times, which means
it's it's there for us every single day. And you
know that's the reality of life. You know, there's always

(04:17):
going to be concerns. There's always going to be some
potential for chaos, not just potential for chaos. Probably the
vast majority of life is is controlled chaos. And and
hopefully you have as what's how what level of control
you have is really where the differentiator comes in. But
I you know, there's going to be some crazy stuff

(04:38):
in twenty twenty six. But if you're ready for it.
You're preparing for it, and you're also you got to
remember that macro level stuff could happen, and for example,
you in in certain markets and that let's just talk
about the stock market really quickly, because that's something we're
going to get to in the in the in the episode.

(04:59):
But you could literally have, uh, there's I don't know
if you guys know this, but there's eleven sectors. I
think there's eleven. I'm pretty sure there's eleven sectors. And
you could have one sector completely crashing like like like
spiraling down, and another sector is like on the rise,

(05:20):
bull full full bull market. You know, everything's great, and
it just depends on what sector you're invested in and
where where are you focused on it, and if you're smart,
if you have your money diversified across a bunch of
different things. When you're not in the attention and you're
just you know, head in the stand and you're up
your where or or head up your you know what

(05:42):
you're gonna Yeah, you're gonna get hit by a bear,
by the bear market or the downturns that are happening.
But that's just an analogy. You know, life, We could
have a great you know year, you know, with our
own preps, with our personal physicality, like working out, losing weight,
getting our finances in order. We can have a great
year with our personal business while other businesses in the
economy are crashing and dying and burning and thinking, you know,

(06:07):
everything going on in the world crashing and burning, But
your little section of the world, your little world is
thriving because you were ready or prepared. Your eyes were
open and you were awake. So my idea is that, yeah,
we need to be aware what the world's doing, but
we also need to be ready for Hey, you know what,
I could probably be okay, and in my little world,
try to make that as okay as possible and do

(06:28):
my part to make sure that when the if the
sky is falling, it won't fall on me.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Gotcha. So that makes me think of Okay, Warren Buffett,
what did he do in the last year? He moved
to cash tons of stuff to cash?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Why?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Billions to cash?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Why? Because he knows what's coming, right, He's watched the
market long enough. He knows there's a massive correction coming.
Like I I also agree, I agree, I think the
I think the market is going to make a major right,
and he's going to be there to buy it on
the dip. That's I believe his strategy. I believe that
that is going to be the big thing that pushes

(07:08):
us over on an economics platform switch. I'll get into
that in a minute. But like I I know that's
tied to also the housing market. It's going to go down, right,
We're going to see drops everywhere, not as much as
I think people believe will happen with the housing market,
but in certain areas it'll be horrible. Other areas it'll

(07:29):
be a little bad. But there's such a shortage of
home still, there's such a shortage of places to live
that affordable, right, It's that it's gonna be a problem.
There has to be a correction.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But I'm I'm.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Really suspicious of the stock market.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm really it's good.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I believe it's going to be a massive bear because
businesses have been propped up on false data and false speculation. Right,
that's what the whole market's about, speculation on where's this
going to, what's the value of this company or what's
the value of their product? Right, We've seen in Vidio

(08:13):
stock obviously correcting like there's been some massive shifts there.
But if you look at everything, businesses over the last
twenty years have switched from let's get profit heavy to
let's get investor heavy. Amazon still isn't profitable, right, they're

(08:33):
still tanking all the time, but they're showing massive value
because the data they're hoarding, the access to all of
our information, and because investors are still dumping money to
pump it up even bigger, and they're just knocking out
left and right all these small companies. So yeah, I

(08:54):
think that's one of the hugest, biggest factors of what's
gonna happen in twenty twenty six. Now, I don't know
if that's the right way to lead off the episode today,
but you jumped into it, so I'm well, yeah, I
had heard.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
That Buffett just came out with the new statement and
I'm just trying to find it here, but that he's, uh,
he's very concerned about the US dollar, he's very concerned
about where things are going right now. And I even
heard that he's taken a lot of that cash and
putting it into the Yen. I haven't been able yet.
But also, like you were saying at Paris, is and

(09:27):
you as well, Scott, is that if we look at
two thousand and nine, where the when the stock market
hit the bottom, uh, it was around what six thousand,
the dow in particular. See, so if we compare that
to today and we saw that same downturn, that would
take the dow down to nineteen thousand, and we're at

(09:49):
forty eight thousand something right now. So and I hear
more and more talk from professionals about, you know, thirty
eight to forty percent downturn. At a minimum, that's kind
of the minimum. I think down to nineteen thousand would be. Oh,
I don't have a percentage here, but that obviously that's
that's quite the downturn. And I completely agree with that.

(10:13):
And you know, I've always been a bear when it
comes to the US markets. Everything's overvalued, and so that's
kind of what I see moving forward. Is but we
do see, we do know that U the government is
going to print. They're they've already started, right Yep. They
switched from QT to Q E and Q because they

(10:35):
say it's not Q and it's not monetary policy either.
There's just something they're doing. And everybody sees that. The
professionals see that and they call BS on it. They're
calling BS on it. And so putting more dollars into
the US economy is going to make a difference. Absolutely,
Maybe a'll drive the stock market up, who knows, but
for but what is it going to do with real

(10:57):
you know assets. It's going to devalue the dollar, which
means golden silver will continue to go up. And we'll
get into that. But yeah, what like like you say it, Scott,
you touched on real estate a little bit too. I've
got my thoughts on that as well. Is is in
some areas, maybe majority of areas, that's turned to a
buyer's market. And I'm jumping ahead out of the stock

(11:18):
market here, but but I really think that, uh, this
year was there was a lot of instability in the markets,
and I think it's just only gonna get worse. And again,
I don't want to be fearful, And this is not
financial advice, obviously, this is opinion of what I see
out there.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Well, we see that there's there's the problems with the rates,
the availability of capital is getting harder to get right,
and also there's the Trojan horse of the Japanese economy. Again,
there's so much debt in the Japanese economy right now,
Like it's not going to collapse, but it's it's also
aiming to It's a massive, massive correction, and that's going

(12:03):
to be problematic for the US as well.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's kind of the same with China too, Like China's
not doing that great. They have all those cities that
they built that they haven't been able to populate, and
they're gonna have to deal with the defaults on all
that stuff too.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
So it's like, well, they never intended to populate those
That was the craziest thing. Those cities were built so
that large companies would be able to stay afloat, and
it was funded by the government, which was a massive,
massively stupid thing to do. Yeah, that's what they did.
There was There's no population ever that's been there to

(12:37):
be able to support the building of those communities. I'm
talking thousands, tens and even hundreds of thousands of units
built that there's no intention to ever fill. I watched it.
Are fantastic. This was back in April. I watched it
really fantastic. Economists talk about the problems in China. The
biggest problem he sees is that the energy usage in

(13:00):
China shows that China itself has a population that's missing
almost a fifth of the numbers they're reporting. So they
don't have as many people as they claim, they don't
have the economy they claim, and they're missing a lot
of other factors as well.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, it's a house of cards. China is a house
of cards, and it's it's not looking good.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm gonna save I was gonna jump to a prediction.
I'm gonna save that for later because it's all gonna
come full circle. But I think I think we have
to we have to have a correction. I don't think
it's going to be a complete collapse, but we have
a massive correction for stabilization to occur. But I also
I'm really curious what's gonna happen with like the I

(13:51):
R S, what's gonna happen with Trump's taxes ideas? Right?
And and we could go down so many roads right now,
it's insane.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
What's crazy too, is that you know, the world economy
is not doing as well as so we're every world economy.
At one point, we thought that China was rising and
the end was rising. The yuan, whatever it is, was
rising as the dollar was collapsing. And you know, we're
Ray Dalio's book, you know, Changing World Currencies, or they

(14:22):
what's it called the Changing World Order. He talks a
lot about this idea that the six phases of world
reserve currencies as they rise and fall, and you know
in that book he was talking about at the time
how China was on the rise as we're on the fall,
and so China might be the next world reserve currency.

(14:43):
But then the bricks nations really took a run, and
of course China is part of the bricks nations. The
other thing that was kind of funny is I follow
another economists. He's like, do you really think that these
that Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Saudia Abia or whatever
they and then the other ones that have been added
since do you really think they're going to be able

(15:04):
to come together and figure out what to do to
create a world currency. Like it's hard enough for one
country to do it, let alone a conglomerate of countries
to do it. So he's like, I'm not too sure
that we're gonna have to worry about the dollar collapsing
or the bricks taking over anytime soon, and I'm like, well,
you got a little bit more optimistic view on it
than some of us do. But it was just interesting

(15:24):
to think that, you know, China is not doing very
well with their economy either, And so I was listening
to Glenn Beck and take that for what it's worth.
I think he's got a lot of really good facts
and points, but he was saying that the along those
same lines is that every major country right now, every
major nation right now, has overinflated their currency and their
economy to the point where debt and greed are the

(15:46):
reigning kind of things that are happening. And that's the
fifth stage right before a reset. Now, if every country
in every major country in the world is having that
kind of a situation, nobody's left to take over and
pick up the pieces if one falls, like everybody's going
so and we're going to get into this in a minute.

(16:10):
But I don't know if you guys heard, but XRP
got preliminary approval to be a federal reserve trust bank
or something like that. I'm probably doing it injustice, But
when you have a cryptocurrency now on the backbone of

(16:30):
our financial situation, we got a whole situation. Like, that's
a whole other prediction to talk about potentially, but it's
definitely what's gonna what's gonna come up from if, if,
if we do crash and burn, so to speak, our economy.
What phoenix is going to rise up from the ashes?
Is it going to be crypto? Is it going to

(16:51):
be digital currency? Is it going to be another country?
Is it gonna be the bricks? So those are some
things that I'm I'm kind of leaning towards now with
this new xr PE thing, I'm kind of leaning towards.
They're definitely going with the digital currency, and that's something
that we've talked about, and that's kind of dangerous if
you think about it.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Let me let me bring this up. The next year,
the US has to roll over nine trillion dollars in
in debt, in notes, in bonds, and T bills, and
nobody's buying it. What's up?

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Nobody wants to buy it exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Plus there plus their deficit spending which they need to fund,
which will be at least two trillion dollars, probably more.
And so we know that countries are de dollarizing. So yeah,
who's gonna buy it? Probably the Fed? They have already
started monetizing the debt. I mean, that's that's arti of fact,
and that's probably where it's going to go. But you know,

(17:47):
I think also part of that is, you know, this
gold is gonna get revalued to put more dollars on
their on their balance sheet. Plus they've also said, you know,
this Project Genesis mission to fund AI. We see, I see,
Uh these AI companies lose their funding, they don't have
power for their facilities. It's uh, there's a lot more

(18:10):
speculator or what wrong word, a lot more uh, variables
investors out there basically saying this is a bubble. They're
being skeptical as the word. I'm looking for a lot
more skepticism about this AI thing. And so Trump is
already basically already said, you know, we're gonna be the
AI superpower and the crypto superpower the world. So I

(18:34):
think the government in throughout twenty six is going to
continue to pump money into that because private equity and
such is backing away from because it's too risky. There
there's no there are no profits. They're not they're not
even able to make any kind of return within the
next you know, ten years, there's no projection of many
returns or any profits. You know, equipment only lasts three

(18:57):
to four years, maybe a little longer than they have
to buy new chips, and who's buying those and they
haven't even paid them off yet by that anyway, big
circular right there. But that's it's it's it's not pretty.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Nope, Well it's funny because that's where one am. I. Okay,
so we're watching that happening. We're watching the dollar just
continue to be devalued. Trump's like, hey, we're gonna do
the US Digital stable coin on the back of Ripple,

(19:31):
partnering with all these right.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
There, writer Tether or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Teather, Yeah, and the goal is to basically undermine the
FED two quote, eliminate the need for the FED and
also creating funds for every child born in the US
that will fund the United States and provide funding for
the kids. I'm like, no, that's not gonna work. It's

(20:00):
what's crazy to me is the whole expansion for the
new ballroom at the White House. If you look at
all the investors who are putting money into that, I
call them investors, not donators, because they're investing in a
absolutely massive underground digital bunker and temple and temple right

(20:21):
to worship their gods. This is just a move. I
think all of this is just a move to create
two major political factions, and that there's going to be
kind of like bricks is right now with trying to
do its own thing versus the dollar. I think it's

(20:42):
going to be two digital currencies come out of it,
two alliances, and they're going to put all their eggs
into those baskets with this AI controlled digital currency system.
I just that's I shouldn't say fear, but that's my
gloomy prediction of where this is going. And we're going
to see basically ten major kingdoms created on one side

(21:07):
of it, and the other side it's going to be
I'm still trying to work that one out, but I
just all signs point to, oh crap.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
China has the goold. One of the things that's funny too,
is that everybody was saying that, you know, America, the
FED has more gold reserves than all of the other
companies countries combined, and I'm like, yeah, we were supposed
to audit that and verify that, and that never did.
I don't I never heard of the result never made public,
so it's like, do we really have does the FED

(21:42):
really have that much? I mean, we were talking a
little bit before the show and maybe I mean so
I just figured, okay, I googled what XRP slash Ripple
just received. They received a conditional occ approval for Ripple
national Trust Bank, which is a huge step for state
coins and payment infrastructure. That so when when money is transferred,

(22:06):
so when you get you know, this is not something
that's like a bank that you go down and you
pull money out and you do your you have your
checking account with this is that's not what this is.
This is the bank. This would be a bank for
the banks. So when when they're transferring money around, now
it's XRP slash Ripple just got. There's still a lot

(22:27):
to do that they have to do to get the
final approval, but they got a conditional approval to move
forward with a national trust bank, which means that they
can that It's that's where when financial transaction, when banks
are transferring money, when governments are transferring money, they're doing
it on the backbone of things like what this like
a trust bank, And so that's going to be huge
if they if they're establishing that as as a digital

(22:49):
currency now has access to that that level of infrastructure.
It's just a matter of time now before digital currencies
are that's the first. To me, that's a huge step
in the direction of making everything digital and having that
one hundred percent control that everybody keeps talking about, where
they'll be able to control everything we do and say

(23:11):
and where we buy and oh you're out of your
zip code. Sorry, you can't spend more than a hundred
dollars because we can, you know, track where you are.
And so if XRP and slash Ripple get that full
approval in twenty twenty six, that's a huge that's a
huge move towards that that that you know, a lot
of people are saying that the reset, well, our economy

(23:32):
will reset and it'll go when it arise from the ashes,
ashes will be this digital Well, that's setting it up
for that. In my opinion, I think this will be
a I don't think this will be a reset.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I think it'll be a switch. So we'll say, oh,
we're going to transfer everything into this so that it
can be on record all the time. Right. The whole
thing about cryptocurrencies, blockchain is that it's visible to everyone
at any time. Right. That's kind of the stability and
security and safety of it is kind of the claim.

(24:06):
I think they're going to force push everything into that realm,
so then they have absolute access to everybody's information at
all times, right, Yeah, And that I think is where
that's where the danger of it is. And I believe
that's where our first step of oh, yeah, you're out
of your zip code, or oh yeah, you're not allowed

(24:26):
to spend that money. Oh it's on the blockchain. We
can see that you have it, but you're not allowed
to spend it anymore because you're which this goes into
another one of the predictions is you said something on
Facebook you shouldn't have said. You said something on Xit
you shouldn't have said, just like what's happening all over
the UK. I mean, there's so many parts of the
world where this is happening. But I saw a video
surface of a guy that was arrested on his way

(24:50):
to work, walking to work, and he was arrested for
something he'd posted on social media years before. Wow, And
he had to go down to the magistrate before he
could go to work, and he had to be censored
and that is where we're moving and if they have

(25:11):
access to see all of our bank records too. Oh,
you spent money at some solar company because you're buying
your own panels and you want to be off grid.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh guess what.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Now we're going to find you and you can't spend
your money. Or now you're gonna get censored, or oh
now there's a federal law that's going to backdate everything
and you're gonna get in trouble for more, Like who knows.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, I just saw a post where a guy in
UK got arrested and going to jail for eighteen months
or something he posted and a serial rapist immigrant a
guy got let free and let go And I'm just like,
what in the world. But that's so, what are we
going to say? That might lead to some predictions about
the immigration issues, and you know what happened in Bondi

(25:55):
Beach in Australia. Part of my predictions are that we're
going to see more or more of that as and
it's not going to be It's It's very interesting because
I think that they're going to start talking more and
more about how okay, so anti semitism at some point
I feel like it's different. Well, so anti Semitism is

(26:19):
different than not in not not particularly appreciating what the
government of Israel is doing, because even even Jews in
Israel are like, this government does not represent us. Like
so there even the Jews in Israel are saying they're Zionists,
not us, We're the We're we actually appreciate that the

(26:41):
religion and the God and whatnot. And so's what's interesting
to me is that I think that we're going to
start seeing in the next year, maybe even some laws
where you can't even say anything negative about Israel or
about it's going to be all under some anti Semitic
laws that are going to start to come into place.
And that's just crazy to me, because I think we're

(27:01):
also going to start to see more and more of
these false flags where people are starting to have this
civil war potential or war between these factions of people
who are Jewish, Israeli and Muslim and Islamists. I think
we're going to start seeing more and more of that,
and then of course that's around the world, potentially even

(27:22):
in our own country with as many immigrants as we've had.
I also feel like there's going to be a push
for having even within our own country. I think there's
going to be a push for more civil discord, civil unrest,
and potentially that movie that came out a couple last year,
Civil War. I think they're pushing it, maybe not twenty six,

(27:43):
but twenty seven or twenty eight. I mean, I think
they're going to push for some real groundwork for it
in twenty six at least, and so by twenty seven
twenty eight we're seeing some big serious things. But it's
all propaganda, and so if we are aware of it
and we don't fall for it, will be safe. I think, well,
we'll be safer.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Well, didn't we just see Pam Bondy announce that they're
going to start creating a list of of I forget
what how they termed it, but of unfavorable people here
in the US. I think it's Pambondi. But also before
we leave the financial you know, aspect of our discussion

(28:24):
is is inflation and deflation and unemployment or all related
to that, right, and those have been big hot topics lately.
I mean, I think the official unemployment numbers went up
to four point six from four point four, and we
know that's I mean, it's all bs. It's it's much
higher than that. They're not counting things the way they

(28:46):
used to. Inflation is still higher than the two percent target,
which is all bs anyway, uh and with this additional
currency printing, it's just going to continue to go at
work obviously, That's what we're going to see in twenty
six is groceries higher, everything higher, you know, services, all
that is in utilities especially we talked a little bit

(29:09):
about data centers. Electricity for a lot of people is
going to continue to go up, especially in New York, California,
those types of areas we haven't I haven't really seen
it here in Utah, thank goodness. We do have data
centers here, quite a few, with more coming and more
being built and more in the plans. What's interesting too,

(29:29):
is like the.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
With those pushes and with those changes, like we're going
to see more and more unemployment in addition to all
of that, but they keep defining unemployment differently. It's it's
moved to like, well, if you're not one hundred percent
of the time looking for a job, you're not considered unemployed,
even if you have no job. But if you're not

(29:53):
spending one hundred percent of your time looking for a job,
you're no longer considered unemployed, or they remove the numbers
after six months. So like they're changing the rules of
what they're going to disclose to the public public, every
every turn of the corner, like it's it's ridiculous. And
in the comments like this is this is interesting, we're
talking about what's going on with the Muslim brotherhood in there.

(30:17):
We're talking we're seeing what's going on with population changes,
Like Americans aren't having as many babies as they used
to have, right, we're seeing a decline in birth rates,
but we're seeing a massive shift, a massive incline in
birth rates and in illegal immigration, but the birth rates

(30:38):
in the illegal immigration side of things, which is also
the number one group receiving government funds to be here. Yeah, yeah,
And that's that's why it's so hard for the American
middle class that's being eliminated intentionally to just survive what's
currently going on with our economy and job market and

(30:58):
everything else that we were to do. And then we
just saw this is funny, too, funny, ick funny. But
the discounts on medical insurance have now been removed, so
when you're having to buy your forced medical insurance. Your
rates are going to be I believe thirty percent higher

(31:20):
than they were last year.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Dang dude.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Right, And so we're seeing intentionally the elimination of our
rights through all these financial mechanisms.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Well wait a minute, bro, We're gonna you know, we're
going to have no more income tax in the next
couple of years because these tariffs are doing so great,
and we're going to get a refund to you know,
we're going to defund all these huge insurance companies. We're
going to give money back to the people so they
can buy their own insurance at a way bigger discount.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Right, your prediction for next year, Paris, That's.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
What I'm just saying. What's come out of the mouth
of certain politicians or political people.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, and like we haven't even dumped into like what's
going to happen with our weather. Like it has not
snowed consistently in Utah where we live there, I usually
have snow all over the place.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
It was sixty three degrees today. M h you know
where I live.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I got a rain today. Yeah, weather's way off.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
And we have a windstorm and a rainstorm.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
You go into there's massive predictions for a drought. There's
massive predictions for weather phenomenon for twenty twenty six. I
think we're going to see unprecedented fire problems bigger than
we've seen. I also believe we're going to have a worse,
even worse hurricane season than ever before. And one of

(32:50):
the things that leads me to think of that is
what's happening right now in Washington. What's causing all the
floods in Washington?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Mm hmm, that levee that broke, and quote unquote what.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Caused the flood? Air rivers or whatever they call them?

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, right, the uh we just switching the jet stream,
bringing all the the uh, the moisture in circling in
like a Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's the result of weather manipulation and modification all over
the world. All the governments are doing it. It's causing problems,
and now we're seeing the backlash of it. Right, and
there are prophecies in the Bible that tell us that
the ocean will exceed its bounds, rivers will dry up,
rivers will suddenly appear in places that they don't exist. Right,

(33:45):
We're going to see a lot of really weird stuff
over the next three to five years. I think we're
we're twenty twenty six. I think is going to be
the opening up of the worst next five years of
weather m M crises that the world has ever seen.
I think it's just going to get worse and worse

(34:06):
and worse.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, well, you're going to jump into the next it
a couple of what are some of the other predictions.
We have wars, we have wars of predictions, and we
have aliens predictions we have on.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Real estate a little bit, and Scott mentioned a little
bit about that, and so did Mike on here. You know,
in that Okay, after the two thousand and nine collapse,
there was deflation in homes in real estate, and so
if we assume the same is going to happen, you know,
it might be a good buying opportunity. Yeah, you know,

(34:46):
I'm I'm very skeptical about that, and I have my
strong opinions on that whether there actually will be any
significant recovery for a lot of different reasons, but there
will be both inflation and deflation. I think in real
estate we're going to steal a lot of deflation In vehicles,
I mean those it's crazy that the price of cars,

(35:08):
used cars have come down a little bit. New cars
have come down a little bit. But we're either going
to see a very dramatic change because the market is
is really slow, really really down in automobiles and such.
So we'll either see a switch there to where they'll
become affordable again, which I kind of don't think so,

(35:29):
because regulations are not changing. Things have to be deregulated.
But I think we're going to see a combination, a
combination of both deflation in certain things and inflation, which
is not a great combination.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Well, I think one thing that car dealerships are doing
right now is they're really promoting leases, and leases are
not that great financially. I in some cases they're very good.
There are most people will do the lease is wrong
or they don't do the lease based on how they should,
and they are going to probably end up getting themselves

(36:07):
into some trouble, but at least they get a car
for a couple of years at a really good price.
I know my son sent me a dude who got
a brand new Chrysler I think minivan or suv by
brand new Chrysler suv and after rebates and a bunch
of other stuff, he's going to have for the next
two years. He basically is paying two hundred bucks a
month for his car lease, which is really attractive, especially

(36:31):
people are trying to save money. But at the end
of the day, what is the back end of that
contract is going to do to them? And so, I
the front end looks really good, but it's got to
be something in there. To me, it's if it looks
if it's too good to be true, or if it
looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
So I just they almost will get the mileage. That's
the biggest problem. It's it's the mileages where they get you.
I have friends that just they just traded in their
lease for another lease and I'm like, uh and they
had to pay seven thousand dollars in mileage fines. Wow,
what seven thousand dollars? So guess what they did. They

(37:11):
rolled that into the new lease. Of course, who can
afford seven thousand dollars in mileage finds. I'm like, what
did you do? And they're like, well, we've been going
on vacations to the states and stuff, and I'm like
that that was a bad idea rent a car for that.
You can't a seriously, like what what seven thousand dollars.
YEAHS leasing is a scary scam like it is.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
There are specific situations where it is a good idea,
usually for business owners who can write it off, but
not for the regular, average, ordinary person who's a W
two employee that's you're getting. It's a smoking mirrors for
those folks in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, it does protect you to a certain extent from
all these new cars that have a lot of trouble.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Well, they're getting more and more electric and more and
more automatic, all obsolete right there. Everything is intended to
become more and more obsolete. And I was like, I
just want to go back to all mechanical.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Did you see that post. I don't know if you
saw that news that that piece of news that came
out of Russia where a bunch of people got into
their Porsche, their Porsches and they were totally they could
wouldn't start, and they've linked it back to the manufacturer
the chip in there. They had shut them all off

(38:35):
as part of I don't know if it was some
kind of a false flag cyber cybernetic warfare, cyber warfare
of some kind, but when you have that much control
over the car, that I imagine you know whoever it is, Germany, China,
wherever they manufactured afford GM, wherever you manufacture a car

(38:55):
with a chip that you actually have a code to
turn it off or on.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Well, and that isn't even turned off by the factory.
It was turned off by a cloud issue.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Right, So if you're the cloud, what the bleep?

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Because they had an error in the cloud. It shut
down all these vehicles, like the entire Yeah, the entire
I'm sure someone was being funny with it and messed
up on purpose. Right, but think about like Tesla, think
about for like all these car companies. Oh, you're always connected.

(39:32):
You're always connected to the cloud, all the data harvesting,
all that that connects it to the cloud. It's it's
a snap of a finger and everybody's cars are turned.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Off, yeah, or controlled.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Larry Ellison's getting all the dreams coming true because the
the spying on us is there. We were tracking everybody
with our phones and all of our data plans, tracking everybody,
all of your purchases online. And he and his son
are buying up all the different movie production studios so
they can force narratives. Right. It's we are living in

(40:07):
a time where they watch everything we do and we
just sit there gleefully like, oh, guys, I'm watching Netflix.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Everything's good. Well, yeah, you know you said the keyword
for their war and what happened this last week where
the US sees that oil tanker. Oh yeah, that is
absolutely an act of war. And and I don't remember
all the details, so I won't the coast of Venezuela, yeah, exactly.

(40:38):
And they said not just but.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
They have a huge armada there too, like the biggest
thing sitting like we're.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Yeah, and and they're said they're going to take more
of them that are that are coming in. One in particular,
I think is coming in another Russian ship full of
I forget, but they said they're going to take it.
A lot more is happening behind the scenes than we
know about that we're being told about. And I think,
you know, with that taking of that tanker, we are

(41:05):
officially at war. And I think we really have been
for a long time. People. You know, since Russia invaded
Ukraine in twenty two, you could say that was the
beginning of World War three. I mean, who knows when
they would look back, what date we can put to that,
you know, because it's always in hindsight. But I don't
see that as getting any better next year. Any of

(41:28):
this Ukraine, Iran obviously this the the event in Australia
is now supposedly linked to Iran. Right, so Israel is
going to do something about that. You know, all these
supposed peace treaties they're they're they're doing that. There's nothing's happening.
I mean, they've all been been broken, and so I

(41:50):
see that as that's just going to continue. We see, oh,
we're coming to an agreement and it falls through, and
oh we've we're figuring something else, and then it just
goes back and forth and it's just, uh, it's I
think it's all show like, like I've said many times,
all the world to stage, it's just it's just all theater.

(42:10):
And I don't see that as getting any better next year.
But also as part of that, what I've seen this year,
oh is there's been a very parent to me, and
I'd like to see all you chime in about this
is that it has become very obvious how criminal this
government is very obvious, and yet nothing is being done.

(42:32):
Nobody does anything about the The Democrats don't do anything
about the Republicans. The Republicansians don't do anything about the
Democrats when they typically would go nuts back and forth
over this, and they're not saying anything exactly. They're the
same party. It's it's, you know, two wings on the
same bird, two sides of the same coin. I said
it a million times. That's going to continue to get worse,

(42:54):
which means that this administration is going to continue to
take more and more power, just like shooting, you know,
shoot boats out of the water. And sure some people
complain about but what's done about it. Nothing. That's that's
just gonna continue to get worse. And Trump's gonna take
more powers. The government's gonna take more and more power.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Well, and we're gonna see as we have more and
more of these conflicts. Like scripturally we're promised wars and
rumors of wars and that the whole world will be
at war. Right, and field Tax said this, If you
guys are not watching on YouTube or hopping in on
Wednesday nights with this, you're missing out because the conversation

(43:33):
in the chat is gold. But like we're talking all
kinds of good stuff. But like for example, Field Tech,
we've been in a software since twenty twenty with the
plandemic and then Ukraine and then I ran, and then
right and then and it's gonna just continue to be
and then and then and then and what were pandemic.

(43:53):
It was all mapped out at Johns Hopkins University like
in medical hospital. They did, and the whole scenario with
the intention to have it happen. When twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Is on the people, That's where the war is. And
that's what we need to recognize is the war is
against us.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
I yes, and no. I think what we're failing to
see as a society is that we are funding it
right by our consumerism. And that is the distraction that
they're using to do whatever they want with everybody, all

(44:39):
the other countries, right, we're it's we are the most
propagandized country in the world. America is I love America.
I love what America stood for, right, but our government
has has gone far from those ideals. They have abandoned
the Constitution, they've abandoned more, they've abandoned common sense and

(45:04):
are purely acting on their own self interests. And that's
the problem. And we are bartering chips in their game.
And it's only going to get worse. We have to
start pulling ourselves out of the system. You know, there's

(45:27):
we've we talk about this all the time, like I
use less and less of the system resources as much
as possible, the older and older I'm getting, but it's
getting harder. And I mean, we've got a baby coming
and I've got to go back to the hospital and
start using systems again. Right, this sucks, But there's there's
there's a line we have to start drawing and staying

(45:48):
on our side so that we don't lose ourselves in
the process.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
What's interesting is is we're on the precipice of massive
change at any given moment, and most of the world
is not paying attention to it, or at least, let's
say most of most of America is not paying attention
to it. They're too busy fighting over their identity politics,

(46:23):
or they're failed indoctrination from the American educational system. Right there,
there are so many other problems that we're facing, and
they're running headlong into Please let AI do everything for me. Please,
please let Ai solve my problems. Oh I need a

(46:45):
counselor oh AI can do it for me, Right, Sarah
Connor is probably side eyeing everybody in America right now,
the whole world. Like you, guys, this is how they
got you. Remember, we did movies about this. We're all
like sweet Genesis program, let's do this right. It's it's

(47:07):
crazy how accurate everything is based on those movies.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Well, those movies were all predicted programming for what they
wanted to do, and so they're just bringing it all
to play.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
I mean I share with you guys before the show
that I was on a call this morning about with
the CEO of Played, that service that brings payment processor
and allows you to connect to your app to your
bank account, and it's one of those back office the
connectors that transfers between institutions and financial institutions. And he

(47:37):
was saying that in his predictions for twenty twenty six
are going to be that financial management, financial money management
and things like even I was even thinking that he
was trying to say that even my what I do
for a living is probably going to be out of business,
although I don't think it'll be that fast because people
like to have the face to face. In my opinion,

(47:58):
I've had way too much, you know, interaction with people.
They're like, I'm so grateful that I have a real
person to talk to, but there's going to be a
huge amount of For example, you could probably log in
to a website and deal with an AI mortgage lender,
and they're moving toward being able to for some for

(48:23):
some population of the people, depending on their financials, you
can literally buy a house with an AI mortgage professional,
or some other transactions that they're talking about, like other
transactions that are similar like that that you could do
it all with an AI person or AI software. And
that's that's kind of scary to think that so AI

(48:46):
is now going to have total control or all the
information about all of our financial I mean, they have
it already, right, but it's just more and more getting
to the point where AI is going to have absolute,
full transparency and be able to look into your financial
see your net worth, see your liability, see your assets,
see everything, and and you see your credit and tell
you yes you can can you approve for this loan

(49:09):
all through AI. That's that's something that was kind of like, Okay, well,
that's that's where everyone's going with AI is to be
able to make some of these systems and these mundane
things that we do as humans a little easier. But unfortunately,
I think, you know, it's going to be like the Singularity,
where it's going to take over and it's going to

(49:30):
start controlling things, and that's that's where it gets a
little crazy. And I think that was that's his some
of his predictions for twenty twenty six was that a
lot of this one of the other as part of
that though unfortunately, he says that there's gonna be a
lot more fraud and a lot of the people that
are nefarious actors. They're going to be able to use
this AI to get funding and for nefarious purposes until

(49:54):
institutions can implement safeguards and protections. So we might have
a huge amoun out of theft going on before we
with a with AI, if that's what happens, before we
get this thing dialed in to where it's safe. And
so that's something that it's pretty scary today too. In
our well, we've got a few more minutes we having

(50:15):
gotten into the alien.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Well, yeah, that's that's actually what I was gonna give you.
But first of all, I'm going to say that I
don't believe AI will ever be safe. I mean, you've
you've guys have heard me say that. I don't think
anything good will ever come of AI period. It is
the counterfeit to actual, you know, godly intelligence. But yep,
but I just saw a movie trailer just before we

(50:37):
get on. It's called Disclosure Day. And guess what it's
about Aliens.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Another movie.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
I mean, it looks really good. But see that's how
they draw you in.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
You know, is that the one with Steven Spielberg.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
No, no, I think it's. I heard you talk about that.
I'm like, no, I don't think it is. But I
just saw two minute trailer, so I don't know much
about it. But of course they're just showing their agenda, right,
they're just disclosing. Yeah, that's the disclosure Day. So you
know that's been a topic this year. Or we're gonna
tell you all about Aliens. We're gonna tell you all
about this, We're gonna and yet nothing comes through. So

(51:14):
maybe twenty six is when this actual disclosure day, Right,
we're gonna And that's one line in this trailer said,
I'm gonna show the whole world all at once. I'm
going to disclose everything all at once to the to
the world like, Okay, that's kind of ominous. It kind
of fits in with everything else we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
So the premise of that movie, I got a little bit.
I watched Redacted. Redacted did a whole section on their
show a couple of days ago on this movie. And
this movie is basically Steven Spielberg, who was the one
who did the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind,
which was Close Encounters of the Third Kind is supposedly

(51:54):
so back in the day of you know, Eisenhower, and
back when that movie came out, Apparently Eisenhower had had
a meeting with some aliens and Close Encounters of the
Third Kind is the video is the movie because they
were gonna they were going to release all the information
and they were going to tell the general population about it.
But then they're like, no, we better not do that.
Let's just make a movie. And so Steven Spielberg apparently

(52:17):
was was in on. He was brought in to say, hey,
let's let's make a movie so that people are satisfied
in some way, and so apparently it's going to be
some kind of He's finally and this is the Steven
Spielberg movie. I was I was telling you about earlier
today guys, where he's going to disclose everything that he
actually learned all around have make the process of making

(52:41):
that movie, and it's going to be pretty crazy to
see what comes from it. And so I'm actually interested
to see it myself, to be honest, because there's there's
this huge push to reveal especially with Atlas three I
Atlas or whatever, this spaceship that's supposed to come through
ours this Friday. Actually, so right now we're a live,

(53:05):
we're live on the seventeenth of December. This is going
to go out on the podcast probably on the twenty third.
It'll probably twenty in the morning of the twenty third,
it'll go out. So on the nineteenth of December three
I Atlas is supposed to go past the Earth its
closest point to the Earth. We'll still need to use
a telescope to see it, but it's also supposed to

(53:26):
pass by Mars, and they're thinking that it's going to
do something with Mars and connect with the caverns there
and terra form it a little bit, like there's this
whole thing, dude, Like it's pretty wild and crazy what
they think, and they're like one of the guys, was like, look,
if I was an alien race, or if I was
some highly intelligent extraterrestrial, I would want to make a

(53:46):
spaceship that looked like a comet so that other worlds
wouldn't know what we were doing when we were passing
by them.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
And so probably the only way we'll actually work is
using natural is like comments and meteors is actually write
it or create something that mimics it or whatever.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
I mean, if they reveal there's a whole we could
do a whole episode on why they're trying to do
the alien Why is this alien invasion thing or the
alien communication thing so important? One of the main things
is to rally the world, Like if if we had
an alien force come out and they said, take me
to your leader, which country? Which leader?

Speaker 2 (54:25):
You know?

Speaker 3 (54:25):
So we It's the idea is, if we're going to
have this interaction, we need to have a one world government,
one leader that we can communicate with these other worlds
through and with and so that's one of their ideas
or one of their ways. I think that they're going
to try to kind of push this whole one world government,
one world economy, one world religion, and the one world
the religion they're they're slated to have the one world

(54:45):
religion in twenty twenty seven or eight, and they need
to have a one world economy before they can do it.
So that could be our twenty six twenty seven prediction
right there, is why they're going to have. You know,
we'll see what God allows them to do. But you know,
they make plans and then God allows or doesn't allow.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
So I guess, last few minutes, what are the positive
things we'll see in twenty six? What do you think?
I have a few of my own I could start,
But we've obviously seen what silver and gold been doing lately.
You know, I love that. That's I'm all about that.
Here's here's my prediction for silver for twenties for twenty six.

(55:24):
And it's not just mine. I've I've heard other other
experts say something similar similar. Two hundred dollars silver by
the second quarter. That's a good thing. I mean, some people, it's.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Not one hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Two hundred dollars second quarter. Wow, And I think one
hundred dollars in January? Didn't we just we just hit
like sixty seven bucks this week today? Yeah, today?

Speaker 1 (55:50):
And then droke g it back down at sixty six.
I think, Wow, that would be insane. I'm excited. There's
a revival going on, and I believe it's going to
get bigger and bigger going into twenty twenty six. A
Christianity or revival missionary work worldwide is up. Numbers are up,
People are coming to christ in unbelievable numbers, which means

(56:12):
there's hope for people right. People are coming to their senses.
I think that's also going to lead to people starting
to take serious the necessity the need to work together
to start fixing the problems in our world. And it's

(56:34):
when we have one heart in one mind that we
can do that.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Some of I personally believe that I'm going to in
my own business, there's I'm looking for opportunities amidst all
of the chaos. Whenever there's an up, whenever there's change.
Those people who kind of identify the trend or where
things are going to go, or kind of are keep

(57:00):
their pulse their ear to the ground and they're watching
what things are happening and kind of and grab hold
of something. I think that people in twenty twenty six
who take advantage of some of the chaos that is
happening right now in a positive way will end up
either creating businesses or being able to expand their business
on an individual This is an individual basis here. I'm
not talking collectively in the economic collective. I'm talking individually speaking.

(57:24):
People who take advantage of that are going to be
able to really bolster their income, bolster their wealth. And
I think that there's going to be some great opportunities.
I personally have some pretty optimistic things that I'm looking
at for my business and so what I'm trying to
do next year, and so I'm pretty excited about that.
And I think that another thing along the lines of

(57:44):
what Scott's talking about is that not only is there
awakening in my opinion, to christ and Christianity, but there's
an awakening to the real nefarious. There's an awakening to
the enemy. People are realizing that the promises that they've
been told by their governments and by their political leaders
are not actually what's coming. We're seeing, like I just

(58:06):
saw a whole thing about South Korea or North Korea
or something one of these places that's communists. They had
a huge uprising of some of their youth. They're like
they're tired of it, and they're they're revolting. I see.
So there's a there's an awakening happening across the world
of people saying, look, we no longer want to be
controlled because we want to be We recognize that we

(58:26):
have liberty and sovereignty and we want to do our
own things. So I think that's part of the process
of coming this awakening process is this people that have
been long asleep are waking up and saying it's Enough's enough.
We want to take back control of our of our
of our lives.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Yeah, that's true. I see, we see that a lot
around the world. Definitely, hopefully that continues and do next year.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Yeah, final thoughts for the night, and I know we've
hit our hour.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Thoughts reiterate, don't be afraid, you know, don't fear, prepare.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Yeah. Also, it's Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to everybody.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Remember the reason for the season. The reason why we
have the season is because we celebrate the birth of
our savior, Jesus Christ. And whether you whether you believe
that he's the savior or not, you have to recognize
that this time of year there's just a different charity
there's just a different level of respect and love generally.
You know, there's usually a lot more kindness in people's

(59:30):
hearts individually, you know, interpersonal communication. Of course, you know,
I'm not talking about Black Friday mobs. I'm talking about
like dealing with your neighbor. I literally, in the last week,
I've had two neighbors bring by gifts their little kids,
with their little kids saying, hey, we want to just
give you some salsa, give you some cookies, you know,
And I'm my family's going to be baking cookies this weekend,

(59:52):
and we're going to be taking out to our neighborhood
and just you know, dropping off cookies to our friends
and people we love and appreciate in our neighborhood. So
there's still there's still a lot of good in this world,
and we need to embrace it and be a part
of it and continue to bring more light. That's my
final thought.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Love it. So I one hundre percent agree with everything
you guys just said. I really feel like right now
we need to focus on number one, getting right with God.
Number two building your community up. Take some guests over,
spend some time with them. Let everybody know that Santa

(01:00:29):
Claus and Saint Nick are two different people. Santa Claus
wasn't real. Saint Nick was a real guy. And one
of the things I want to bring up, good old
Saint Nick at the Council of Nicea punched the heretic
arius for saying that Jesus Christ was not divine. My

(01:00:49):
final thought of the year before Christmas. It's okay to
punch a heretic every once in a while. When words
won't stop them, you gotta we've got to take actions.
My point, go make bridges before you have to destroy
them to protect yourself. And if you can make bridges
with people and get people on the same page as you,

(01:01:10):
you'll do a lot better in the days to come. Guys,
stay frosty. I know it's Christmas and so everyone's thinking
of cold stuff, but stay frosty, stay aware, stay awake,
but also look for people you can serve. Find ways
to help your community. Look for the homeless, look for
the widows, look for the orphan. See who you can

(01:01:30):
help this holiday season and get out there and make
a difference. And for your family stockpile. If you need resources,
go to preppertalkradio dot com. We've got a resources page
with tons of cool stuff you can check out. We've
even got resource guides on how to plan, how to
prepare better and you can also get involved with our
group Emergency Prep and Self Alliance on Facebook. But until

(01:01:53):
next time, steady, stay ready, minded, stay in your lane,
get better at what you're doing, and bring other people.
Get them on the bus and help them get prepared
to have a great night. And we'll catch on the
next episode.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Take care, guys, see you next week.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
