Welcome back and joining us now is Tony Ardaban, a longtime friend and a big supporter of the program. Again, wisewolf.gold is there to help you if you want to get gold, silver, or even Bitcoin. And Tony has set up davidknight.gold to take you there so that he knows that you come through us. But it's always great to have Tony on. He certainly understands what is happening on the very important financial side thank you for joining us tony always great to be here david i was uh i was thinking the other day when you were talking about the g7 uh meeting in hiroshima to plan their new world order i thought well gosh you know janet yellen and jerome powell and all the other banksters should go to jekyll island to tell us what's next for the dollar.

Yeah, I know. But the nuclear war comes first. I think that's why they went to Hiroshima. It is crazy what's happening now. And let me show you this. I know that you've got some things that you want to talk about. But I want to get your response to this. We know that this is coming, and they've been rolling this out in various ways.

This is a bank out of the UK, NatWest. Take a look at this. Somebody took a picture of this. And basically what it is saying is, looking to withdraw cash, our primary aim is to keep customers safe and secure. Our branches follow our processes carefully to achieve this. This will include asking you questions about the purpose of your cash withdrawal. Why do you need that? We may also ask for supporting documentation, such as an invoice. This helps us to validate the withdrawal as genuine and protect you against fraud. This is all about protecting you. And by the way, they are going to limit the amount of money that you could take out.

Again, this is in the UK. They're limiting it to about 2,000 pounds. I don't know. Maybe that's about $2,500, $2,600, I'm guessing, within a 24-hour period. And they have, unless you give them advance notice of 24 hours that you're going to be taking this out. And then they're going to want to have a lot of documentation for that. That's where we're headed, isn't it, Tony?

Oh, absolutely. There's a war on cash. There's a war on individual sovereignty. And the banks are carrying out the orders of the governments to stop the flow of cash. We saw that starting really here with COVID. But actually, before that, with the Patriot Act, that's something they weren't able to do, get the banks to monitor cash withdrawals through the years. They wanted to make that happen after Oklahoma City. It took 9-11 to sneak that into the Patriot Act.

So the banks watched that. You have to make appointments a lot of times if you're going to withdraw cash. Banks will say they don't have cash, which shocks people because they're not used to withdrawing withdrawing cash i have a lot of customers that come in here they're trying to get cash out of the bank and i said well why don't you just bring me a cashier's check i mean honestly it's easy people want to be more honest but i think the bank's tracking when you try to use cash you're throwing up red flags and that's just the world we live in today and you know the inverse is also true David the inverse is just as true let's say that you know I I've been spending time in Texas so I don't have anybody making deposits for me the bank doesn't like it when I come back a week later and uh you

know the my staff has taken all the deposits they don't they don't like that they're like where is this coming from uh why is there so much cash they don don't like it. So again, I think it's ramping up. There's a war on cash. You got to ask your bank, if you haven't withdrawn cash in a while, you got to ask your bank what their policies are. And I will tell you also, it's the national banks that are the worst. The national banks, the big banks that have the cash are the worst about it. I've had good luck, and I won't say the name of the bank that I use, but I use a bank here in Missouri, and I use a bank in Texas

that are both real good. They haven't given me any real problems, but every once in a while, I'll look in my account, and there'll be an analysis charge of like $180 because I'm depositing cash, and they're trying to have to track that. They had to fill out forms. So, you know, I'm on the radar. There's no way for me to be off the radar at this point. Well, and that is why they want to get rid of the regional banks and small and medium-sized banks is because the big banks will do their bidding. But, you know, when you talk about the cash stuff, I've said it for the longest time, Dennis Hastert,

a guy who was a known pedophile before they even ran him for Congress. He was a wrestling coach. He was a pedophile. And then they elevate him to become the Speaker of the House, stays there the longest amount of time. And they didn't come after him for being a pedophile. They said, well, statute of limitations is over. We'll just change statute of limitations.

It's easy enough to do. Instead, they came after him for what should not be a crime, the fact that he tried to structure his withdrawals so that he would not be noticed because when he started withdrawing cash to pay to a blackmailer, uh, who is now grown up in blackmailing him over this, when he started pulling it out, they started asking him questions. He didn't want them asking questions about what he was going to do with his cash. I mean, it's kind of funny in this article from Mark Jeff to Vic, uh, Tony,

he says, um, here canada for the last few years he said even before covet the big four banks have been routinely asking you why you're taking out cash and he says so you can tell them pretty much anything you can say well because i want it or you can say none of your business or you can say uh i want to blow it all on booze and hookers or you could say if you're dennis astor i I got to pay off the person who's blackmailing me because I was a pedophile. You know, you could have just told him that. It's like, oh, okay, we can't come after you for being a pedophile, but we will come after you for taking the money out in a way that we don't ask you questions. And that was the most outrageous thing about it, to make a crime out of something that shouldn't be a crime and to let the real crime skate by.

Yeah. The irony of that too, because he helped push the legislation through for the Patriot Act, which is to monitor the bank withdrawals and have the banks report on you. That's right. I try, you know, I, everything I do is, is within the letter of the law. Uh, I tell people if you've got more than 10,000 in cash, I would be required to fill out a cash transaction report and send that to the IRS. I just don't take cash over 10,000. I don't do that. I think,

again, if you're looking to buy gold and silver, you can do small amounts on cash and stay under the radar. That gets your legal right to do. But if you try to go and make a major purchase and just use cash and go to your bank every day and withdraw just under the limit and then deposit with me, you're going to get on a radar. It's going to happen. It makes you look worse. The best thing to do is just take out a cashier's check or send a wire or do something like that. You're already on it. I mean, they're not going to.

Buying gold and silver is legal. I mean, it's not something you're not doing something that's under the table that's bad. But I would say that if you have a significant amount, you're going to understand that the bank's tracking you. And I don't think it really matters even if it gets to the $10,000 mark or not. It's just structured withdrawals in general. So like, if I have cash, I mean, I can't play that game. I'm just going to have, they have to fill out a CTR, which is a cash transaction report on me every time. I mean, that's what I'm doing every week. Cause that's how much cash I have.

Yeah. Um, but I tell people I'd much prefer a cashier's check much preferred wire. Well, of course everybody's under their radar. We get on their radar when we talk, you know, and that's the goal and they keep extending their radar and get it more and more powerful radar and more and more antennas and receivers everywhere all the time. And, and that's what we should be. We have to not run from that. We have to be aware of that and realize that that is the reality of what they're trying to establish.

And that they're also the purpose of this cashless society. Of course, as you and I have always talked about, as we had, uh, John Stossel and DeSantis talking about it is to push us into a CBDC. And in this article, Jeff DeVick says, well, you know, that's the value proposition for it. This, as we go into this big recession, the value proposition for CBDC is going to be universal basic income. And they've already started talking. That is the major thrust of Sam Altman, the guy who is OpenAI CEO. I mean, he's a big venture capitalist, but he has focused, he likes the OpenAI so much that he's made that his key focus. But his secondary focus, which may now become the key focus, is the WorldCoin thing. And the WorldCoin is tied to a global ID as well as universal basic income.

And that is a prescription for absolute slavery. And he is right there. And he was right there at Bilderberg this last week, pushing all this stuff. Yeah. And the IMF has the unicorn, you know, that's a, that's one of their prototypes. That's right. Ultimately that's what this, the, in the in the bankster class the the overlords that's what they want is a a one world digitized blockchain currency run through their central banks and it may have regional currencies that link up to it like uh

like the dollar and again the the issue here and i think they'll be able to sell it with you talked about universal basic income you have to open up your wallet you know get all your biometrics uh into the system so that we can guarantee your identity and guarantee your income but they'll also say something like we can uh contract and expand the money supply in real time to protect you this way you know we can fight inflation uh much better this way we have all these underground seedy things using cash. The same thing that they say about Bitcoin right now, and they're going after both. They're going after cash, they're going after Bitcoin, and they're using the banks. And there was that big run after the Silicon Valley Bank and Silvergate, and that was bailed out by the Fed and by the FDIC.

There was a run on smaller banks and the people didn't take out and i guess a lot of people did buy gold and silver but a lot of people just went and put it into some of the larger banks you know the five or six there's about six thousand or so regional banks and that's what makes small business work over this country right and then the big banks uh want to consolidate those so there's a lot of psychological warfare, financial warfare going on here, trying to break up and consolidate. And again, the goal there is to piggyback off of the big banks to usher in the central bank digital currency, which will ultimately be leading back to one currency. That's right. And that's why Senator Frank Nicely here is trying to push a Tennessee public state bank. But of course, he wisely But by calling it the Tennessee Reserve System, they look at it and say,

well, I know how I interact with the Federal Reserve in terms of reselling mortgages and this and that and buying notes. And so that'd be something similar to that. And that is exactly the way that the North Dakota State Bank, the only one that is in existence, that's the way that it operates. And they have a very, very healthy compared to the rest of the nation, about five and a half times the number of banks per capita in North Dakota as the rest of the nation. So they have thrived in that kind of an environment. And the bank does not compete with them on loans. It is there as a secondary market if they want to sell the loans.

And that really helps them to be able to sell that on a secondary market. But as you were saying, there's all these different coins that are out there. We already have the US and the EU pushing their own central bank digital currencies. And then you've got the IMF and the Bank of International Settlement, each of them with their own idea. And now you've got a bunch of globalist corporations, like WorldC coin and other ones that are pushing this as well it's it's turning in it's looking like the only competition that these people have is with each other as to who's going to wind up being the one coin to rule us all

it reminds me of what happened to the the empire of alexander the great yeah when alexander died at age almost 33 it it didn't it didn't go and pass to one other person it was it was broken into multiple multiple pieces i think that's what you're going to see and there's an article about king dollar up on uh on drudge it's linked to reuters and and again reuters getting into the mainstream is talking about de-dialerization folks this is why you should pay attention and, I don't think the majority of people that are tuned into mainstream media are not understanding what that means. You have to do a little bit of research to find out what does de-dollarization mean for the US economy? And again, you just look at facts and figures,

and we've talked about this before, but 2001, 75% of all global transactions were financial went on in dollars. 2021, 20 years later, it was 55%. After we put the sanctions on Russia in 2022, it dipped to it's 47% and declining, or we've got to be somewhere below 47% now because it's rapidly declining. The only reason that it hasn't completely lost all cabin pressure is because there really isn't an alternative yet. There isn't one alternative, but you see like India using gold to buy Russian oil, bypassing the sanctions, the China using the Yuan. And of course, there's all the natural gas first on the Shanghai exchange being done in yuan. So there's Brazil dumping the dollar.

All around the world, the central banks are dumping dollars, buying gold or getting into the yuan or looking at a host of other currencies. So we're seeing the end of dollarization, of king dollar. And that is, again, I think we're going to see many different uh competition uh realms of competition in the states you talked about Tennessee I think it's great when states deregulate and make gold and silver legal tender you know and there's a war on cash and I assume there will soon be a war on gold and silver um that hasn't really caught into the I mean it hasn't really made it into the mainstream uh where the you know the mainstream's attacking gold and silver yet but uh there will be a time we'll see that but to me that what gold and silver are cash yeah because gold and silver are money and

uh more and more people i i see people accepting it i mean i'm able to make trades in it it's funny when you're when you're in this business i had somebody come in the other day, they bought a pre-1933 $20 gold Liberty coin for about $2,160 with the premium. And I asked them how they wanted to pay. It's a credit card. And I said, well, I have to charge you a fee. And they said, will you take Bitcoin? I said, absolutely no fee because I needed Bitcoin. So it was like a nice, between us, there was no banks involved.

There's no checks. There's nothing. I don't have any fiat currency, but we just, you know, Bitcoin for gold. And I was able to use my Bitcoin for I pay a lot of my vendors with it. So again, I think that's where we need to be headed. Going into a system where we understand

that we are our own banks. We can take charge of that. Banks are great for facilitating things like wires and being able to pay bills and things like that, but that's all that they should really do at this point, unless you're needing to leverage to get a loan for your business or something. But we, the people, with things like Bitcoin and with things like gold and silver and having that physical in your hand, we can become our own banks. That's right. That's right.

Did you catch the statements from RFK Jr. at the Bitcoin convention? He had some very interesting things to say. What did you think about what he had to say? I thought it was wonderful. I watched the entire speech. I wanted to go to the Bitcoin conference. I just didn't have time to setting up this new location. But I watched the entire speech i wanted to go to the to the bitcoin conference i just didn't have time to setting up this new location but i watched the entire speech i thought it was great because he also addressed uh the environmental issue which i thought for

sure you know he you know cryptocurrency was on his no-no list but and when he talked about the the the canadian truckers and uh why he owns Now, I thought that was that was very powerful. So so a major presidential candidate. And, you know, it's not just the the the jab that they're keeping him out of the debates for now. I guess I'm pretty clear he's anti-war on a lot of levels. You know, he talks about how the CIA killed his father and his uncle. This guy is not good for the establishment. I mean, I don't I don't agree with all of his politics but i think he's come a long way you know you know you've played that clip of him was it about 13 years ago or so david um not you know i first started watching him he would go on like msnbc and talk to joe scarborough and he'd be or he talked to hannity he was like the the resident liberal you know but you played him talking about uh jailing people for not for being

climate deniers well he's come a long way i saw a clip of him the other day talking about how the climate issue and he believes in cleaning the environment but he says the climate issue has been hijacked by people like the world economic forum like the davos set yeah and and being used to remake the world into their own image and so so I think he's come a long way. It'd be interesting to, to nobody's going to probe him on that. Yeah. I would like to find out what changed your mind about,

and when did you change your mind about free speech? And that was when they started persecuting you on the issues that he's chosen to talk about. Those are very dangerous issues. All of those, as you pointed out to the establishment. And so of course they're going to punish him just like they, you know, have us, uh, to, uh, to, to get us off of there.

If you're going to talk about the vaccine and war and the CIA, uh, CBDC, I mean, every one of those checks a box. And so that's going to get, but what he doesn't want to talk about. And the reason that he's running as a Democrat, I think is because, you know, he hasn't talked about, uh, abortion, gun control, the LGBT stuff and other things like that. And hasn't given, you know, where is he on the environment issue? There's still an uncertainty with me on that. But he did say, you know, you're not going to use the environment as an excuse to get rid of crypto.

And he understands that that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to use that because that was the fourth, you know, four different areas that Biden wanted all of government to report to him on. And that was the key issue. That was going to be the excuse to shut down crypto. It's going to be the justification to shut it down. He said, you can't use it for that. So that was a very positive thing.

I think it was also positive when he talked about the political aspects of it, how it's all just about power. And I don't know if you noticed that he talked about the political aspects of it how it's all just about power and uh i don't know if you noticed that he talked about ross ulbrich and silk road and said that he would uh seriously look at that and think because he understands he's not going to say that he's going to pardon ross ulbrich like he did say that he would pardon julian assange but he said i would take a serious look at it and see if that isn't persecution that was happening. And he knows that it was persecution. And he knows that they came after him simply to make an example out of him for people that were operating on the dark web. The dark web being dark in the sense that they can't see everything that's happening because there's a lot of really, really dark stuff that happens on the regular Internet.

It's not dark from that standpoint. But because of Bitcoin, they wanted to come after him bitcoin as as much as the dark web aspect of it it reminds me uh the 2019 i had a visit to my shop in san antonio by the department of homeland security and somebody from the justice department uh in texas uh the attorney general's office and they were looking for a transaction that went through on one of my bitcoin atms about a year prior and uh we got to talking they didn't really understand crypto so i was explaining to them bitcoin they're talking about the the illegality of it how it's used uh for so much criminality and and and so on and so forth and i said well you know there's a

there's a coin that dwarfs bitcoin i mean there's a there's a currency that dwarfs it i mean it makes it look like nothing i mean as far as illegality is concerned it's used around the world it's universal and you can't track it and because it's because it's in paper form like what is it I'm like it's the dollar it just makes it look like a nothing it's not even a Bitcoin can't compete in the criminality of the dollar and like not even close yeah so it's just that they built this myth you know especially around something like the silk road i remember when i got into bitcoins like oh is that the drug dealer stuff well no good what why would you want to be on a permanent blockchain you know

i mean there's an open source permanent blockchain to show you where the the funds and the coins are going so i mean the bitcoin is not anonymous yeah not really i mean you you can protect your coins and like what you know rfk jr was talking about about having your own wallet having your own keys having your own node like having it being able to to to mine bitcoin uh from your home or plug in just to help the network yeah um that should be all of that should that should be our right it's one of the reasons you and I talked a couple of weeks ago about the Texas digital currency backed by gold. I'm skeptical of that. And I'm not alone. Joseph P. Farrell, who wrote the book Babylon's Banksters, he came out and just right after you and I had

that talk, it was like a day later, he dropped a podcast and said, I'm skeptical. I think this may be a backdoor. like we go this is the alternative this is what we'll jump on to this is you know this is a back by gold and it's from Texas so it's good and this would be a back door for the globalists to get their cbdc yeah I mean we got to be careful when states come up why again if you read history you wonder why is the state involved in currency I have a global gold standard I have a global gold standard. I have a global silver standard. Especially now in today's technology with things like crypto and decentralized currency. I just don't.

When a state starts getting involved, you're talking about politics. It's going to happen. It's going to bleed into the currency. It does now. I mean, look at who gets targeted by the IRS. Is it our leftist groups getting harassed by the irs or is it you know remember when they had the 2012 uh you know the the documentation that came out of you know anything that had the word patriot in it was you know they were audited so again this is

weaponized uh i just so anytime the the state gets involved in currency i am very skeptical if not just completely awful absolutely yeah because there were a lot of people that were saying that about Bitcoin. They said, this is going to move us towards a digital currency and things, but that's not associated with the state. I think it's better to take the approaches that DeSantis did to say, well, we're not going to recognize these digital currencies. We're going to change it in the UCC, the Universal Commercial Code, and say that's not a valid form of payment.

And so I think it's better to address it that way or to address it by trying to create parallel structures like Senator Nicely is trying to do here in Tennessee, to say we're going to have a Tennessee reserve system that's going to be parallel, operate parallel to the Federal Reserve because these guys either don't know what they're doing or they're trying to burn the system down, that type of thing. So I think it's better to address it that way than to try to come up with a small version of the central bank digital currency, which is what they're doing. And of course, the same thing is being done by Zimbabwe at the same time that Texas is doing it there. Hey, we'll come up with a, a digital currency, a national digital currency.

There'll be backed by gold. And, uh, you know, so they try to make it legitimate with that. But while we're talking about the dollar, uh, let's talk a little bit about the, uh, the debt and the deficit and all this melodrama that's going on with that. I like the way that, uh, Babylon B put it, uh, they had a nation unsure how the government not being able to borrow more money is a crisis. They'll just, they'll just blow it. They'll send it to Ukraine. Uh, so it's like the one guy says, I can sleep better at night, uh, knowing that the government is currently blocked from borrowing any more money. Uh, I've been sleeping much better knowing my leaders aren't able to continue

digging us into a financial hole that my great great great grandchildren will never get us out of that's a load off of my mind can you you imagine having a printing press and still losing your credit rating can you imagine that day you have a printing press and you still can't keep a budget uh this is you know i'm not afraid of the government shutting down i don't know about you i think it's fine uh you know find something find nobody talks about cutting anything anymore nobody talks about balancing anything that was like a bygone era when you had conservatives so called talking about the budget and the deficit nope i mean you really famously you get dick cheney deficits don't matter yeah Yeah, well, they do matter.

I mean, you reach a certain point. I mean, we've never seen this in our nation's history. And I know this because you can do the math. You can look at, okay, so debt to GDP ratio is usually 20%, 30%, 40% at the highest. I mean, under Reagan, it was like 40%. It's 125% of debt to GDP and growing. You can't outrun that. I mean, people ask me all the time, what's gold going to be, this investment? What's silver going to be? I'm like, I don't know where it's going, but I know where the dollar's going

because of math and not being backed by anything, which I don't want it backed by anything. I think they should get out of the business of currency i mean we've we have several ways that we can we can pay our you know i i like the the idea of of import taxes like tariffs i think that's the the government was run by on tariffs for the first 150 years of of our of our country and now we've gotten away from that and it's it's been a disaster so no i i really i really do feel like we are we are headed towards something that the country's never seen before but it won't be these these budget fights and stuff this a lot of stuff's happening under the radar too when they have these kind of stories like this game of chicken do you think is kevin mccarthy really playing a game of chicken with Joe Biden? I mean, these are this, you know, here's the way I see wings of the same bird.

Well, I see this as again, as virtue signaling to their bases and, and trying to play a gotcha with the other guy, the other guy is going to take the economy. But if you remember, uh, after the election, when they knew they were going to have a Republican majority, there was a big fight with Kevin McCarthy trying to stop Mitch McConnell from joining with them and saying, yeah, we'll do a budget agreement. So he joined with Schumer and Pelosi and said, all right, here we've agreed on a budget. And Kevin McCarthy and Republicans would say, wait a minute, you just took away our major bargaining tool for a couple of years now.

Well, they managed to find a way to carve this back in and they're going to use it. The Republicans don't want austerity and the Republicans don't even really want a balanced budget. I don't think they want to have a place at the table, a power lever that they can use and this debt ceiling gives it to them. And that's what that is about. I think that's what it is all about. The fact that they're, they're trying to bring this back in after they, because the power

of the purse is with the Congress. And that's really the only leverage that they're trying to bring this back in after they, because the power of the purse is with the Congress. And that's really the only leverage that they've got there. But they're all saying like, you know, Paul Krugman repeated that, just like said Dick Cheney saying deficits don't matter. We just have to be able to service it. Well, at the rate that the interest rates are going up and at the rate that they're increasing the deficit, they won't be able to service it indefinitely. That's the whole point you go back to testimony from paul volcker after he was retired from the federal reserve and he was the one that raised interest rates to the teens after uh nixon took us off the gold standard by the carter administration

inflation was out of control but he had a famous testimony before congress and he said um you know it's not really the deficits it's uh it's not really the spending so much as that we don't make anything. We don't produce anything. Yes, that's right. And that's what's so dangerous now. I mean, we take for granted the economy runs off of debt. It lives off of debt. It needs it.

And kind of the basis for ESG, environmental social governance, is that it's no longer about profit anymore. So that's a dangerous thing here. It's like the economy needs the government to function because it needs all these programs. It needs everything flowing out because that's our lifeblood now, unfortunately. That's the danger here. As far as ideologically, I don't care if they shut down or not. Sounds good to me. I mean, you can't do much.

I don't think they will. I think this is two wings of the same bird uh you know as far as you're right though they're just bargaining chips over what they can get and uh you know again nobody's talking about any of the things that would start solving our problems like that's right ending the american empire cutting the trillion dollar foreign policy you know ending the the giant bloated welfare state um again having auditing the federal reserve, like really being fiscally sound, nobody's talking about that. And that's, it's not going to happen.

I mean, we're going to have to see him. How are politics pure and simple? That's right. And, you know, I think the other aspect of it though, is that, uh, Ryan Macon was talking about, he said three myths about this stuff, you know, and, and one of them that he had was the idea that the U S has never defaulted on things. And he says, no, it has. It has defaulted three times. And I thought it was really telling, Tony, when I looked at it, it's like, wow, I hadn't made that. He didn't make the connection to the fourth turning. But when he talked about

the three times it happened, happened after the Revolutionary War, as he points out, a new constitution was in place. They defaulted on domestic loans. The federal government renegotiated past debt at less than favorable terms for investors. That's the reason why you had the 14th Amendment, which the Biden administration is saying we're going to misuse that, right? They put the 14th Amendment in there because they knew what had happened at the end of the Revolutionary War, that fourth turning.

And so they said, well, you're not going to repudiate the debt because they'd seen that happen at the Revolutionary War. And so they put that in. But even then, he said there was greenback default in 1862. The original greenbacks were $60 million in demand notes. That was in redeemable specie. He said less than five months later, in January of 1862, the U.S. Treasury defaulted on these notes, failing to redeem them on demand.

And then you had the Liberty Bond default in 1934. Every one of these fourth turnings, they've had a major default. And so the default isn't going to be default of Kevin McCarthy. It's going to be part of the fourth turning because they're always you always have economic unrest and you have these wars that happen and in each one of these cases it was depression it was war other things like that that were causing the default it's just another reminder of where we are in this cycle of history i think it's pretty amazing you're absolutely right and uh the audience needs to understand this isn't just politics as usual.

And this isn't like when Newt Gingrich shut down the government for a little while. This is a much bigger issue. Look at the debt in 2000, David, was 5 trillion. It's 30 trillion. I mean, think about it. It took it all of our history to get to five, and then it doubles through every president. So this is this is unsustainable we're going to see the the complete collapse of the dollar eventually on some level and i think they'll use that for a lot of totalitarian programs they want to push through like cbdc if we're not careful if we don't understand what's coming but the the dollar is going to lose more and more value it's going to lose the reserve currency status of the world so it's up to you the dollar is going to lose more and more value. It's going to lose the

reserve currency status of the world. So it's up to you, the audience, to figure out what you want to do to protect yourself. That's right. Again, this isn't an infomercial. I'm asking a question. I think it's a good question to ask. What are you going to do when the dollar tanks, when it has its collapse, when it no longer buys the same amount of groceries because it didn't it's not buying the same amount it was three years ago you need to look at that this is this is a reality that we're going to have to face and uh again the the politics as usual you talked about fourth turnings there's always a major change and this change as you were talking about earlier in the show it's it's the everything you know it's war it's it's economic it's sociological it's spiritual

it's all the things everything bubble it's the hobbesian war of all against all and uh you know again we have to ask ourselves how are we going to uh survive it uh can we thrive through it i'm not a i'm not a total pessimist here i think that there's opportunity in this chaos uh to to do things to help help help the community start a business i think there's opportunity in this chaos to do things to help the community, start a business. I think there's opportunity here. But there's also caution. And you don't always wind up coming out of a fourth turning with less freedom and liberty. I mean, look at what happened with the American Revolution.

It typically does tend towards that. But it can go the other way. And that's what we need to be focusing on. But in order for that to happen, it has to begin with us individually. Each of us has to look after what is going to be happening with ourselves and with our family, and then with our community, then with our state, that type of thing. And again, it goes from, from me outward, you know, it's this little pebble that is there. And that's only if we take the kinds of, uh, preparations that we need to only then are we going to be able to have the kind of ability to, uh, direct things to make it go up towards

Liberty instead of down toward tyranny. I think that's the key thing. And a key part of that is to prepare. If you want to prepare again, David Knight dot Cole dot gold will take you to wise wolf dot gold. And, uh And Tony has got all kinds of products there. Wolfpack, but you can, you know, you don't have to get into a monthly thing. You can get whatever you want there, but that's also, we talk about that because that's kind of a unique program and lets people to, lets people have the opportunity to save on a regular basis.

So I think that is a really unique and powerful thing for people to be able to do that on a regular basis. Thank you so much, Tony. Thank you for all you do to help the program really do appreciate it. Thank you, David. Always an honor, sir. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.

And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
