As Charlie opened his Amazon parcel, he held his breath.
This robot vacuum kept his floors pristine for a price lower than he'd ever imagined.
Five stars from Charlie!

so Well, that's has struck 13 once again, and it is Tuesday, the 17th of June, year
of our Lord, 2025.
I'm Tony Arterburn filling in for the great David Knight and of course now Travis Knight.
I'm joined by my co-pilot and co-host Beans the Brave. If you don't know, that's my 12 and a half pound.
I'd say 12 and a half.
She's probably just a little bit heavier now because of treats.
My Chihuahua from the mean streets of San Antonio here to, uh, make sure
that we continue good vibes.
There's no woodland creatures in this office or studio.
No, no intruders in this office or studio. No intruders
will be safe from that. Well, headlines make my job easy. Not that I enjoy the dystopia
or the upside down or the quickening or whatever you want to call it, the soon to be singularity of neoconservative, Luciferian ideology converging at once.
I remember something that the philosopher Plato wrote that only the dead had seen the end of war,
and that sticks with me because you'd like to push back against that. You'd like to think that
people learned lessons, but the only lesson we learned from history is that we do not learn
from history. So I get to watch all of this stuff happen again. I remember when I was a kid,
I watched Oliver Stone's Platoon as around 1987. So I think I was about seven years old. And I
watched Platoon. That's for a young kid. That's not a great movie. But anyway, I watched it and the end scene of that
with Charlie Sheen, you know, there's that like that monologue going over the
last credits about
How they can never let this happen again, you know to tell their story
Well, it happened again, and then it's gonna happen again and looks like it's just continuing this awful
Satanic cycle of war But let's pray that this awful satanic cycle of war.
Uh, but let's pray that it doesn't, maybe I'm wrong.
I like to, uh, like to think that there's been progress made on the anti war front.
And, you know, certainly 2016, uh, was a big turnout for those who,
uh, wanted America first.
Remember that we've lost our way.
Maga kind of absorbed America first and like we've lost our way MAGA kind of absorbed
America first and like destroyed the essence of it it took what I believed in
I this is something when I ran for Congress I was you know the candidate
that was like Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan I believed in these principles and that
cost me dearly by the way I I mean, the establishment hated that.
I mean, talk about trade policies or bringing the troops home.
It's like showing a crucifix to a vampire.
I hated it.
So, and I was on the radio state, the radio station hated it.
So it wasn't very popular.
Uh, but I think 2016, uh, that really showed me that there was a lot of people
out there that, that agreed with me.
Maybe they couldn't intellectualize it,
but that's in their heart and their gut.
They knew that something was wrong with living in the American Empire,
not the American Republic, but something happened.
The way that politics hijacks good things sometimes,
like you go back to the 19th century,
we had the populist party.
A lot of people don't remember that.
We had a third party that was actually very powerful and they got a lot of things done.
It was trending towards breaking up the duopoly between the Democrats and the Republicans.
And then they took us to war in Spain. So that was used for that by the way, which was to reset the left-right paradigm to
get us back on track of end fighting and this false choice between left and right.
And you know looking at the headlines folks and we'll dive into that today.
I've got first hour just be me and we'll go over some headlines together and a couple of articles that I picked out
Second hour. I've got Charlie Robinson host of macro aggressions
One of my good friends. He authored a book called the octopus of global control
He also the control demolition of the American Empire many other things. He's got a great podcast and
He's gonna come on. I've enjoyed his Twitter account the last couple of days.
He's on fire.
I want to, I want to talk to him about this stuff, but that's just
what's going to dominate our.
The show today, unfortunately, I've got a little bit of, you know,
you go look at warfare and then, uh, getting outside of the Fiat system.
Right.
These are, these are the two things that are in my wheelhouse and, um, I'm going
to do my best to make sense of it all for you.
All right.
Let's, let's go to the first article.
What should we do?
Let's go to the headlines.
Look at drudge and then I'll take you from there.
We'll go to, um, a couple of articles that break down what's happening.
Caitlin Johnston wrote a great article up on break down what's happening.
Caitlin Johnston wrote a great article up on lurockwell.com. I definitely want to cover in this hour.
In the third hour, by the way,
I would like to do with the chat,
because unfortunately I wasn't able to get
the kick stream up today,
because I needed another sign in code,
and I didn't want to bother Travis
at like 6.30 in the morning, but next time I host, I promise
I'll have almost everything else up.
Um, next time I host, I'll have that up.
But on the third hour, I'd like to have an ask me anything.
I mean, ask me stuff that's in, you know, to talk about on the show.
I mean, any, ask me anything, uh, within the realm of, you know, geopolitics,
history, philosophy, whatever, whatever.
And if it's, you know, try to make it relevant to what is going on today.
If you can do that, we'll have a comment section.
I'll do that in a third hour.
Maybe Charlie will stay on for a little while, but in the third hour, and we can,
we can cover that in the third.
So be ready in the third hour and we can we can cover that in third. So be ready in the third hour hit the comments and if you want I'm streaming over on my YouTube at Tony Arterburn if you want it because I'll see those comments right here in the stream yard.
Studio so if you want to hit at Tony Arterburn on YouTube.
You can join there and comment as well but I'll check the rumble for David.
I mean let's throw the headlines up let's see what the intelligence agencies want me to
talk about. I do this because of what Sun Tzu admonished to know your enemy
ladies and gentlemen I'm not
I'm not a fan of Drudge. But it looks got it's got a nice
the radiation symbol in the nuclear biological
in the left-hand corner.
Iran could resort to unconventional means of retaliation.
Nice headline to throw out there.
Just, they're just leaving it there.
Even though they don't have a nuclear weapon, just, just leaving it there.
IDF underestimated military strength.
Oh, it's kind of like we did in Iraq war two, where Donald
Rumsfeld thought that you could hold the country with 50,000 troops.
Bunker busting missiles shake faith and safety.
There's also a report of a collision of fire in the Strait
of Hormuz that's unrelated to this but just happened to be on the same day that tensions
are peaking. Okay. And of course, they throw around just much like Lindsey Graham, resident stooge for Satan, in the US Senate, much like Lindsey
Graham just throws out, you know, assassinating world leaders that hold nuclear weapons like
he did this.
I mean, I know we have short memories in the country, but do you remember like it wasn't
that long ago, we had Lindsey Graham calling for the assassination of President Putin of
Russia.

This robot vacuum kept his floors pristine for a price lower than he'd ever imagined.
Five stars from Charlie.

They're psychotic and Netanyahu, same thing with the Ayatollah,
just throwing that out there, you know, just world leaders, you know,
inside their own nations.
You're, you aren't safe, uh, from the war machine that's been set up through
the United States empire.
This is funny.
Yesterday I saw the, the bastion Gorka, you know, Sebastian, he's just, uh,
let's see, what is he, what would you define him as an establishment?
She'll, um, a faux intellectual.
Uh, I don't want it's just David shows. establishment, shill, a faux intellectual.
I don't want it's just David shows. I don't want to dress Sebastian Walker down too much,
but he's exhausting.
And he has all these ideas that failed, gods that failed.
And he throws up this and he is such a sycophant too.
He throws up a post yesterday on Instagram and I'm just doing these by memory.
He throws up this post and he says, uh, president Trump has spoken and it has, uh, something
about it.
Tucker, Kookie, Tucker Carlson.
This is from Trump.
Uh, Kookie, Tucker Carlson, somebody tell Kookie, Tucker Carlson Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot possess a
nuclear weapon so this is what this next headline Tucker Carlson conflict end of
Trump's presidency according to this is the headline by the way so day five IDF
drones hunt over Tehran Iran Iran prepares largest strike. G7 is split.
Trump leaves the summit and they ask the question is USA officially going to join
the war? Well, it's hard not to see how we wouldn't. You hope that some sort of rationality prevails. It reminds me of
the 13 Days movie and Kevin Costner plays Kennedy's aide and he just kind of breaks
down and says that maybe the sun will come up tomorrow and the goodwill will prevail the will of good men I hope that's the case all
right let's let's X out of this and I want to take you to kind of the fallout
what happened after these strikes and the tension, Trump leaving the G7 summit.
This kind of rhetoric, I don't know, I mean, if you study history, it's not necessarily outside
of the realm of precedence, as David calls president precedence Trump precedent Trump but you
know there was this offhand remark that you know Reagan had what he was warming
up for a was it radio free America whatever he was doing it was one of the
radio broadcasts that the president does and he didn't know he was being recorded
he was just warming up and thought he was joking a little bit
and said that he's outlawed Russia.
This is, you can find the audio clips.
I've outlawed Russia and I'm sending,
the bombers are on their way.
It's just a joke.
But you fast forward to our time and then even Reagan,
he called the Soviet Union an evil empire,
but only called it that one time.
And that was prior to Gorbachev.
He never said that again.
Of course, by the end of the eighties, he's walking, you know, uh, shoulder to
shoulder with Gorbachev and red square pat him on the back, um, ethical moments.
You know, that was a, the end of that decade was really staggering for peace.
And there was a lot of hope, you know, there's things that could happen at the end.
Of course, you know, that's, uh, that's all history.
And we can certainly go over that and what was lost, but, uh, this kind of
rhetoric, you can decide for yourself what this means.
Uh, this is Trump.
Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.
Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.
The apparent threat comes amid indications that the U S may begin bombing Iran directly.
And this is by Dave DeCamp over at antiwar.com.
President Trump on Monday appeared to threaten Iran writing on his true social
account that Iran should have signed a deal and calling
for the immediate evacuation of Iranian capital of Tehran, a city of about 10 million people.
Iran should have signed the deal.
I told him to sign.
What a shame.
A waste of human life.
Simply stated, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
I said it over and over again. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.
Well, you know, in an age of nuclear weapons and being the
foremost, I don't know what you want to call us anymore.
We're used to be, especially after the end of the cold war, we were the lone
superpower, maybe we're a stupor power now, something like that. be, especially after the end of the cold war, we were the lone superpower.
Maybe we're a stupor power now, something like that.
We used to have, you know, the greatest, we used to be the greatest creditor nation, we used to be a productive nation.
Now we're the greatest debtor and we import everything.
Consumptive.
Consumptive reminds me of the old Westerners.
He's got consumption.
Yeah, he's sick.
reminds me of the old Westerners. He got consumption.
Yeah.
He's sick.
He made the threat while attempting or attending the G seven summit in Canada.
Why not?
White house press secretary, Carolyn Levine said after Trump's post that the
president would be leaving the summit because of what's going on in the middle
East kind of interesting.
Why, why you can do everything from there. What do you need to do?
That's an interesting what's going on in the Middle East. I'll tell you how this doesn't even make
sense to I read that yesterday and I thought, okay, so they're going back and you got Pete
Hegseth making the rounds. He's on Fox news and everybody's kind of with bated breath.
Like, when are we going to hit?
There's a certain demographic and I've learned this and being in, you know, so
called conservative talk radio, there's a certain demographic of people that they
target with the Fox news headlines and they just love war.
They love like the action of it.
They want to have embedded reporters.
Uh, you know, they want to have embedded reporters.
They want to see Oliver North with a camera behind a bunch of Marines blowing up stuff.
They like that.
They like the bombs falling.
They love to call into shows.
I know this, by the way, I mean, I know this like firsthand
because I would follow Marc Levin.
My show followed Marc Levin.
It's a station that no longer exists in San Antonio, but I would go there
every evening and I would have the same people listening, but I would throw on
the phone lines.
I open up with something like this talking about the Neocon.
They didn't understand what I'm saying.
They're like, when are you going to talk about bombing Iran?
Seriously.
And that's what, that's what they called in about that.
They're very animated by it.
And Pete Hegseth, he really, you know, highlights that.
U.S. officials have denied rumors that the U.S. began striking Iran and have said that
the U.S. remains in a defensive posture in the Middle East.
Trump's post came after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegson said that he ordered the deployment of additional US capabilities to the Middle East. US
officials confirmed that a massive deployment tanker aircraft was related uh, related to the Israel Iran war.
The first, uh, casualty of war is the truth.
How did this even start?
Well, I mean, if you're watching Fox news, then you don't know.
Um, did you have Caitlyn Jenner, you know, or Bruce or whatever he's having a sipping wine
in a bunker, uh, praising Trump and Netanyahu and Israel.
It's kind of the clown world thing that we're in now.
Because nobody really knows like, well, we're going to get these terrorists.
I'm like, Israel bombed Iran.
Of course, you know, soon if this kicks off and accelerates enough, you won't
even hear from people like me.
I won't even be able to broadcast because of the 1917 espionage act.
Like Woodrow Wilson threw people in jail because they criticized World War I, a great war.
You know, World War I, one of those wars that really helped us.
If you can ever find anybody who can even explain it to
you because you can't I promise I mean they'll try but they just can't it's
just a bloodletting it was a ritualistic bankers war
sources familiar with the matter have told anti war.com editorial director
Scott Horton that the Trump administration is poised to enter
Israel's aggressive war
against Iran directly by launching airstrikes, which will almost certainly provoke attacks
on U.S. bases in the region.
Which is, yeah, if you do X, then Y will happen.
I think cause and effect.
And they know that, by the way. One thousand percent. They know that. Which
would be escalation. Which will take a lot of pressure. You know, war hides a
lot. You can hide a lot of things in war. You can hide the fact that you neglected
your own people, your infrastructure. You know,ing and you can't drink the water in a lot of these places.
Or the rail lines are 80 years behind or the airports are broken down
and the highways are always being worked on.
And veterans are, you know, this massive amount of veteran homelessness.

Kids going to sleep hungry at night, you have an entire generation of young men have given up
in areas like the Rust Belt that are on drugs and other things because we pond America's soul. We
don't have a living wage jobs. We just have a Mitt Romney style venture vulture capitalist economy.
Israel started bombing Iran on Friday, two days before the US and Iran were
due to hold another round of nuclear negotiations.
Trump had been demanding Iran eliminate its nuclear weapons program, which was a non-starter for Tehran. Despite the apparent impasse, Iran
was set to present a counter proposal to the U.S., but the talks were canceled
after Israel launched its war.
Yeah, that's a great line. It launched its war.
This is Israel's war.
They started it.
They should finish it and we should let them do that.
We've been fighting for them for decades.
It's funny, you know, that Israeli lobby pushed real hard to get us into both Iraq wars.
I got Pat Buchanan in trouble.
You know, he said famously on the McLaughlin group back in the early
90s, like 1990, that the only people that supported the Gulf War or was the,
I think the contractors in the amen corner at APAC, that was considered
like really controversial and only supposed to mention a pack
the American Israeli political action committee, you're not supposed to mention that that's
Wow, you're fringe that you recognize something
They pushed really hard for that I never saw an Israeli troop not one ever
ever
But they definitely wanted that,
you know, toppling it. It's good for them, you know, and they have a right to do that.
They have a right to try to get whatever happened to benefit their nation, so do we, you know.
We don't do that. Our leaders don't really steer our country that way. It'd be nice,
but we really don't look out for the interests of the United States that way. It'd be nice, but we really don't look out for the interests of
the United States that way. The way that Israelis do it. I mean, they put themselves, at least
their perceived benefit way before others. And good on them. And we have, we should have
the ability to call that out and say, yeah, that's not how this country's supposed to
work, but you'll get labeled something else.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the war under the pretext of
stopping Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. This is 2025 right? I've been
watching him say that since the 90s.
But it has been the consensus of the US intelligence community
that there was no evidence Tehran was working
toward a nuclear weapon.
Yeah, that seems to be the consensus because that's true.
It's for this fact.
And the whole thing about the nuclear deal or stopping it from getting a bomb.
Can you really blame any country?
What's the lesson learned from the Iraq war or from Libya or Syria?
What's the lesson learned?
What do we teach?
We teach if you don't have the bomb,
we're going to do this to you. You're going to get regime change. You're going to be
invaded. You're going to be defiled. If you do have the bomb, well then you're North Korea.
Saddam didn't have the bomb. As a matter of fact, the Israelis blew up his nuclear reactor.
He was working with the French, it was called Osirak. It was back in the early 80s. Just
blew it up using American-made fighter aircraft. And, you know, we wonder like well, what do they hate us?
You have these occupied territories
You know by the Israelis and flying over an American-made helicopter gunships
You know there's an association there
Interesting I There's an association there. Interesting. I got some comments over on my YouTube from Jim Nyke. I'm hoping I'm
saying that right.
Trump has put himself in an inescapable trap. If he backs Israel, American blood
will be spilled and MAGA will turn on him. If he backs Israel, American blood will be spilled and
MAGA will turn on him.
If he doesn't back Israel, design us will turn on him.
Well, I think the calculated bet there, and I, I think you've.
Made a great point.
I think the, um, the calculator risk on his part is got to look
where the money
and the influence comes from.
And, uh, I don't think that, um, MAGA really more, whatever that means now.
It's been so diluted.
It's kind of like the tea party movement.
By the way, the tea party movement was started by Ron Paul.
It was started on December 16th, 2007.
I remember.
And that's when he raised more money, I think in one single day than any
presidential candidate in history from, you know, from regular people, from
actual human beings that, you know, he ran on peace and prosperity and liberty.
And that was a great day. I remember it.
And that's what the tea party was founded on.
And then as time went on, it became, as you know, you get the Koch brothers
involved and you got others that use that as a, because again, principle
has to be backed up by something.
It's why, you know, good on them.
Like the Catholics are very much like, I went to a private Catholic university after I was out of the army called the
University of Dallas, very prestigious school. I studied philosophy for a couple
years and I loved it. It's a very expensive book club, but they welcome, you know,
debate on their faith and everything else and I thought that was good. You
can't do that really in a grassroots movement anymore because it's
hard for them to defend it.
So the, the principles get changed from the top.
And it's very fluid.
And I remember by the time I ran for Congress, it was like a lot of the
principles that Ron Paula talked about got lost because you would see people.
This tea party movement would be flying an Israeli flag and I'd go now, wait a
minute, this is not, that's not what the tea party movement was for me. Tea Party movement would be flying an Israeli flag and I'd go, now wait a minute.
This is not, that's not what the Tea Party movement was for. I mean that you carrying that flag, it also represents foreign aid, it represents
interventionism, it intervenes militarism. I mean it again, you know, like all these things are
just bloated everything, right? The antithesis of what and that's just one aspect of it, but that would happen a lot, you know and
Or get your government hands off my Medicaid stuff like that, you know
You it just got diluted and so I think that's what's happened to whatever MAGA is
And there's a lot of great people. I think their hearts in the right place
But unfortunately, that's what politics will do.
I mean, it just takes, I talked to years ago when I first decided I was going to run for office.
And I talked to this, uh, lady, lady, she wasn't much older than me, but she was been in the game
a long, long time.
It was very smart.
And she told me, don't do this.
Just start like get into what you want to do.
Start a, like a pack or, you know, a nonprofit, like talk into what you want to do. Start up putting like a pack or a nonprofit,
like talk about what you want,
push the ideas, but stay out of this arena
because it's just where ideas go to die.
And like really she was right about that.
And I remember that lunch, she was like,
if you could just do, if you could just stick to the ideas,
like stick to radio, stick to things,
like push the ideas, but stay out of this thing and she was right that's
well we'll see and that comment was from the Lazarus man I think you Lazarus man
all right I'm gonna go to the rumble chat and check on what's going on over
there and then we got an article by Caitlin Johnston. I may get to... let me talk a little finance before we
do that. I will harp on war, won't I? Such an honor to be filling in for David too
and I got to text him back at a text from him yesterday
love the audience love you guys let's check on
rumble
hold on a second
get a little whenever I click on that my little voice coming back to me
and see
trucker Chris FTW I follow Caitlin Johnston on Twitter before I was banned
this past weekend
well you might have been banned for following her. It's great. She's got a lot of great articles. I don't always
agree with her, but I think she's definitely a sound thinker.
Yeah, remember the Liberty. Yes, sendingending our 53-year-old aircraft carry out to be sunk by Iran.
Right, sunk by Iran.
We'll talk to Charlie Robinson in the next hour.
He's got something to say about that.
Let's see.
Let's see.
You guys have a lot of chat over here.
I take that for granted.
I'm building, if you want to follow me, I'm on Rumble.
I'm not live right now, but I'm over on the America Unplugged channel, and I have the
Arterburn radio transmission.
I do every Thursday at 11 a.m. Central time, 12 Eastern.
KWD 68 says, MAGA will support Trump until the last bomb falls. Yes, they will.
Whatever that means to you, whatever MAGA means, but it's space.
It's the base.
He'll have outliers and, um, yeah, I don't think that, I don't think Tucker Carlson's
going to refit back into the whatever mold. I think he's kind of gone a certain
way and that's a journey for, I think he, I think he understands if you look at
the trend of journalism, media, whatever it means to you that the old ways and the legacy ways are
gone.
The establishment, all this stuff, traditional foreign policy, all of that is, is not the
trend for the future.
Yeah.
Gardner Goldsmith, the great guard Goldsmith.
Trump is going to make it impossible for other national leaders to enter negotiations with
the U.S.
Yes he will.
Always great to hear from the guard.
I wonder if the guard's got to be hosting sometime this week.
You guys stay tuned for him.
He's got to be back here.
All right. Let's talk a little finance. I want to leave, I'll leave the Caitlin
Johnston article up. I definitely want to spend some time on it and I realized I
went a little, a little long on the the Trump piece about evacuating Tehran. We'll talk a little finance. And this is what I was
going to bring up earlier.
So the rest of the world and you know the the players on Wall Street, high finance, which high finance and intelligence go together, folks. But they
decided, as of yesterday, before Trump left the G7, okay, so this is interesting, that
they felt like the war between Israel and Iran was contained geographically between those two nations.
Interesting because the price of gold reflects that.
But then you have Pete Hegseth. This is what I was going to segue into, but I get sometimes lost in a stream of consciousness.
Then you get Pete, he's jumping on Fox news.
We're ramping things up.
We're sending things over.
Why are they doing that when the rest of the world feels like
it's contained geographically?
These are the little tells, right?
That I, there's things that I watch like, well, the rest of the world, you know,
finance, so well, this looks like it's contained looks like it's
proportional and this is from Kitco Middle East chaos won't drive gold
prices to 4,000 but this will the Bank of America
gold prices have fallen back below $3,400 an ounce as the conflict between Israel and
Iran has not seen regional escalation.
But while the precious metal continues its broader consolidation, commodity analysts
at Bank of America say it still has a path to $4,000 an ounce.
In its latest report, the bank's precious metals team, led by Michael Weidner, stated
that gold retains significant upside potential as investment demand has only just begun to
grow.
However, the analysts also cautioned that the chaos in the Middle East is not expected
to provide sustainable bullish momentum for the yellow metal.
So that this is the, the analysis from traders and things like within the last
48 hours somehow, but our government's ramping things up interesting, isn't it?
Although gold is a popular safe haven asset, historically, event-induced demand has never proven to be sustainable.
Some analysts note that gold is facing selling pressure at the start of the week as the conflict
has not impacted global oil supplies, an event that would typically drive oil prices higher,
influencing inflation and global economic growth. I checked the price.
That's the first thing I checked this morning was the price of crude.
It's actually down just a little bit.
And I have a good friend of mine who's in the middle East right now works for a,
uh, a large oil company has been an executive there for years. They talk,
we talk energy sometimes and we were talking both about the straight of horror
moves. And that were talking both about the Strait of Hormuz.
And that's always been, I remember talking to my dad about that 25 years ago. Like that's always
been the play. And maybe this has always been the war plans. Maybe this is like the, our version,
the West, you know, the neocons and that alliance between, you know, the establishment in Israel. Maybe they have their own von
Schlieffen plan. That's what the Germans had in World War I. They worked on it for years and years.
The Franco-Prussian War after the 1870s, they worked on this plan to invade
France through Belgium and mobilize all the troops, especially after the advent of modern
mobilize all the troops, especially after the, you know, the Advent, you know,
modern troop transports and things like that. But that's that they had the von Schlieffen plan.
And, uh, maybe this is just playing out maybe because I've been hearing about this for
my whole life. So what was going to happen if Israel was attacked.
Spoiler alert, they started it, right?
When it comes to gold, wars are not always a clear cut bullish price driver, the analysts said, the conflict adds, however, to the
confluence of factors that have been supportive for the yellow metal.
Rather than focusing on specific geopolitical events, Bank of America
analysts are monitoring the broader economic landscape and gold's growing
appeal as the important global monetary asset.
Well, they're right. And it hasn't really done anything with gold had its all time high again, a month ago or so it was $3,500 an ounce.
And that's the silver was at $35 an ounce.
There's a hundred to one on the silver to gold ratio.
that's when the silver was at $35 now so it's a hundred to one on the silver to gold ratio
so this really hasn't not yet and you know there are some terrible ifs out there if you
have the outliers or the black swans or whatever that cause gold to go parabolic
let's hope that doesn't happen but all the fundamentals are still there. Like the coarse gold is poised to go to $4,000 an ounce. It's poised to go to whatever number you can conceive it will go up
in terms of dollar. That's just math. I mean, that doesn't mean
you're a genius trader. It just means that you understand that
fiat is fake. And it's fiat has no bottom and gold and
silver and Bitcoin have no top so you know on a long enough time like like
zero-hedge you know quoting Fight Club on a long enough timeline the survival
rate for everything drops to zero
for everything drops to zero.
This comes as the U S government debt continues to grow at an unsustainable pace. Bank of America noted that gold is attracting new interests as Congress
debates a new spending bill that aims to cut taxes, which is expected to
increase the deficit by trillions of dollars.
That's not really what.
Increase.
It's not the tax cuts that increase the deficit by trillions of dollars.
It's the trillions of dollars that we print.
It's the trillions of dollars that we borrow.
You could have no income tax, just have some tariffs and some consumption tax.
You could do that.
You could dismantle the, you could stop doing everything that we're doing that would overseas.
You don't need what 700 bases in 132 countries.
You don't need that.
It's definitely not for American security.
Market concerns over fiscal sustainability are unlikely to fade, regardless of the outcome
of Senate negotiations, the analysts said.
Rate volatility and a weaker US dollar could keep gold supported, especially if the US
Treasury or the Feds is ultimately forced to step in and support markets.
Yeah, we got less than a year and it looks like Jerome Powell will be replaced.
Trump will look to be hawkish. Hawkish for rate cuts. that's the opposite of what the fed is
i think he'll be looking to rev that engine do those rate cuts
and um maybe drop them to zero who knows because it'll be just on the on the heels
are coming up on the uh election cycle so there'll be a lot going on there ladies and gents and that's gonna drive
you talk about I think that's gonna drive prices crazy depends on what
happens between now and then to with the geopolitically
although gold appears a little crowded as prices have consolidated elevated
levels Bank of America believes it still has room to grow.
We're still going to be in it. They said they expect gold between $3,000 and $3,500 an ounce
just normally.
Says the final supportive factor for gold is the broadening rally
in the precious metals sector.
As silver and platinum attracted new bullish momentum.
Well, you know why though?
Silver and platinum have been outliers for a long time, especially
platinum, like I would just start, people started ordering some platinum from me recently.
And I've sold it over the years.
One, one customer, I won't say his name, this has been a few years, had a very
large IRA rollover and he did like, I'm saying large and he did like 30% in
platinum and I thought, really? But he bought one ounce Canadian platinum coins, you know, so sovereigns.
And, uh, he's done well.
I was thinking, I was looking at his charts the other day, just cause I
keep records of everything.
I thought, wow, that's, that was a good trade.
Like the whole thing.
Cause he just bought physical precious metals with his IRA.
So he had a whole bunch of, you know, in paper
and put it all into some great products and that's all stored in a vault, you know, so he's got physical precious metals. You guys, not that I, not that I plug too much, but you can go to
DavidKnight.gold. If you've got, if you want to roll over paper assets, especially in these,
like you're looking at the actual metrics like me, if you want to roll over paper assets, especially in these, like you're looking at the actual metrics like me.
If you want to roll over paper assets into something, you call me, go to davidknight.gold
and reach out and we'll, we'll take a look at what you got.
I promise I won't plug that much.
I'm not really a plug guy, but that has made me think of that because those are outliers
for a reason.
Gold and silver, I mean,
we talk about gold like they just go together that way,
but silver is starting to do its own thing.
Contracts that got called,
there's other physical issues with the above ground supply.
If you notice, gold went in the red from yesterday,
went over $3400 an ounce and down below
that so see what prices right now but I'll just give you an example yeah as I as I was
talking silver broke $37 an ounce it's $37 and an ounce and two cents gold was at 3,400 plus and it's down under 3,400, 3,394.
So it's down about a point from opening this morning.
So those are, they're going in different directions.
Silver's becoming its own market again, which is great.
And I think it's just the beginning of something.
And the reason why, and it's like the fundamentals
in that article, like the geopolitical tensions can
drive something. So like if you're, if you're a day trader, that's
something you really want to watch. But if you're long term like me,
and that's just what you're going to be in it, you start looking at
these trends for your for accumulation and the silver is being added as a
strategic reserve asset places like Russia, other countries,
multinationals, they're starting to move into it because of the, I mean it's
affordable, it's real, you can store it, it's a commodity, it's
a industrial metal, all that stuff, so is platinum. You know platinum has the same
properties and it's been kind of an outlier and it hasn't done much
But that is I think a trend that will
You'll start to see a an upward trend in pricing because of what's happening with the dollar
It's just another one of those commodities. Okay?
I saw something and we'll see if we can get to it.
And I definitely want to keep this Caitlin Johnson article.
But it was something that I think you're going to see a growing trend.
I try to just bring you the trends, and I'm only on ever so often.
So this may be some more on gold goal in Bitcoin, but it's something to
watch like a lot of what's happening right now.
A lot of these multinationals, the big companies are starting to become Bitcoin
treasuries. And there's one, there's one that I saw that I thought, well, that's
new. And it's just on the trend.
You're going to need to watch.
There's all these companies that are starting Bitcoin treasuries.
They started with micro strategies with Michael Saylor.
And, you know, that became a very profitable deal.
He, you know, raised capital through stocks and they buy Bitcoin,
put it on the balance sheet.
And these other companies started to do that.
Actually, you know, a couple of the trumps are involved in that.
Um, but this is something different.
Let me, uh, one more, one more comment from the Lazarus man.
I believe Trump's biggest concern is how he's going to have all his supporters remember
him as a rich and powerful leader who was surrounded by beautiful.
Yeah, something like that.
Like, you know, the same concern that Cicero had.
Oh, we, uh, we live in interesting times, which is the Chinese curse.
We live in interesting times.
It's also really stupid.
Um, it is idiocracy is dangerous.
And that's what, if you want to know what like bothers me is, is I read history,
you know, I'll be involved, like I'll have my mind in whatever timeline.
That's how my mind works.
It's kind of weird.
Whenever I read something, I kind of think in timelines and like, I'll put
myself there and like, I'd want to see how I would react with these characters
or whatever, especially if you're like talking about the beginning of the 20th century,
which is really a massive change.
And one of the things that I've always noticed about that time is how brilliant
people were. I mean, speak several languages.
They were masters of their craft. I mean, it was just, uh, it was a different time.
Like they didn't like, if you went to, then it's like, I like in the,
you know, 1960s, you show up to the airport with a suit on.
Now you go and people just walk around with like buckets of coke and like
everybody's dressed like, like they're going to bed or something.
It's just, you know, it's, it's a different time.
And, but those people were so smart and they still made just the worst decision.
So it's like, wow, what are we going to do?
Let me jump over this article and we got just a little bit of time, but this is a trend.
I want you to pay attention to stuff like this.
It's not just me touting my businesses.
There's something to this.
If you're looking at the realm of finance, and it's not just about investing.
The reason I bring these articles to your attention is because this is the
global shift of the monetary system, which is the, it's a revolution of money.
And that means that's going to mean everything to domestic policy in the
United States, to foreign policy, everything it's all tied in together.
And so you see, you starts with the free, the what's considered the, we don't have
a free market anymore, but it's, you know, the, the market, it starts there.
And then you start seeing these trends and it's, it's de-dollarization by companies,
not just, uh, governments.
Let me put this up on the screen
This was on zero hedge. It just caught my attention
Says the UK gold mining company bluebird is to convert revenues into Bitcoin
into Bitcoin. Bluebird Mining Ventures LTDA Pan-Asian Gold Project Development Company recently announced a major strategic shift. It plans to convert
future revenues from its gold mining projects into Bitcoin and adopt Bitcoin
as a Treasury Reserve asset. See that's key there. I listen to a lot of Bitcoin
podcasts and listen as many gold ones as I can.
And before the end of the show, I'll let you know, and I, I got it.
I'll get the links today.
I'm starting a new show.
It'll be something I haven't done before.
We're going to do it every week and we're going to have a newsletter with it.
So standby, that's going to be like in the next 30 days, I'll have it locked
in dialed in, but we're going to talk about this kind of stuff.
And I've been following these podcasts.
And what I'm finding is a lot of these, these big companies are starting
to become Bitcoin treasury companies, which again, it's not me.
It's not me talking about Bitcoin.
It's the move away from the dollar, folks. So this is all happening inside of the Great Reset.
This is by Oscar Zaraj Perez via Bitcoinmagazine.com, by the way.
They put out a tweet, strategy shift to convert gold into digital gold, combining income streams
from gold mining projects and recycling these revenues into a proactive bitcoin and treasury
management.
By adopting a gold plus a digital gold strategy, it offers the company an opportunity to turn the page and look into the futures to seek to attract a new type of
shareholder.
And that's what I've been saying for a long time. I mean you had some people can
be really myopic and maybe you don't like Bitcoin you don't have to. I look
at it from the standpoint of what it's supposed to represent.
And that is in a sea of infinite fiat, it's finite. It's the same thing with gold and silver.
And if you look at the actual charts of how much supposed wealth there is in the world,
it's not that as much as they say there is. It's probably like they say it's, you know,
could be a thousand trillion or whatever, 500 trillion.
Who really knows exactly how much, but it's a wash and Fiat currency.
The market cap of gold's like 20 trillion.
So 20 out of hundreds, you know, and that's represents all the,
what would be considered money in the world.
Cause and everything else else gold is money.
Everything else is debt.
Everything else is, you know, a JP Morgan set his credit.
The market cap of Bitcoin is like two trillion.
So gold's at 20, um, bitcoins at like two and that's nothing in the scheme of things. So this is stuff
to watch because the world, even starting with companies, is shifting away from the
fiat system and that's where the revolution is taking place. That's why I bring it up.
The announcement comes as Bluebird progresses towards a key agreement on a flagship Philippine
project.
So much mining going on too.
I sent another thing with gold mining.
There's a junior miners, there's so many projects happening right now and I think you want to
see, you should start paying attention to what's going on with silver because silver,
a lot of the silver mining companies, like there's so few of them,
because it hasn't been profitable because of the world
metrics of what how silver is valued while he's paper,
you know, with Wall Street.
But I, I would look at that.
That's a trend because some of the silver that's mine is
just comes from
gold mining companies that go out and find silver just because they're mining for
gold or mining for zinc or mining for copper or whatever.
And they pull it out of the ground.
We have some silver.
They were fine that too.
It's going to become profitable again to mine silver.
It's a lot of these, I mean, these companies will be popping up. Mining will be a big thing because it's a race for commodities, ladies and gentlemen.
Bluebird plans to recycle revenues from its mining operations directly into Bitcoin, aligned
with what it describes as an innovative treasury approach.
But see, this is not just them.
There's a whole host of companies that are just putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet.
Why would they do that?
There's a lot of stuff coming out.
It's back in January of 24 when BlackRock announced the ETF I
watched this I think Bitcoin was trading at 29,000 or whatever it was it was it
was low compared to what it is now but that's what drove that price
combining income streams from gold mining projects and recycling these revenues into
a proactive Bitcoin and treasury management approach.
So there's two things like they're pulling gold out of the ground.
It's slowly becoming recognized again as the world's reserve currency, which will change
everything.
And I think at the end of the day, like they have to run, you know, you have the
you'll own nothing and be happy, Klaus Schwabian, you know, Luciferian, Davos,
great reset, right? They have that set setup, that simulation, but they also have to run the same like,
okay, if we wanted to have a functioning world, like how do we do that?
Well, you have to get rid of that.
You have to reset from Fiat and those who have used fake money to accumulate assets
would be sitting in the best position.
So you'd have to, if you reset the dollar to gold, it's estimated that,
and I don't know that you could, okay.
Because then you, then you have to have lawmakers who understand law and math.
And you wouldn't just be able to print, you know, um, like we have been that
you'd have to go back to like budget constraints
and there'd be debates on that.
They don't even know how to do that anymore.
And they just, you know, it's, it's Hollywood for ugly people at this point.
But if you did, it's estimated gold would be minimum $10,000 an ounce if you reset it,
which I'm not even for, by the way, and you could do something different.
Maybe just have governments not being the currency business. That would be great
That's a utopia right that's that's
Me that's never gonna happen, but I always like to ask why you know, why do you do that?
I don't need you. I have these I already have but we know what our money's worth
And if you deal in gold silver Bitcoin, you can look and see
Private institutions do much better at that money's worth and if you deal in gold silver or Bitcoin you can look and see
private institutions do much better at that
should be expecting Charlie Robinson any minute now let me go to let's go check out Charlie's Twitter for you There he is. I pulled Charlie in. All right, this is my
friend Charlie Robinson, macroaggressions fame. Welcome back to the David Knight show, sir.
Thanks for having me. Are we reading Zero Hedge? We were reading Zero Hedge. I had an article up. There's a British gold
mining company that is going to take their profits from gold mining and turn
it into a Bitcoin treasury.
This is Bloomberg. Yes. Yeah.
I've got it set to go up today on Activist Post. Yep.
Yes. Yes. I wanted to mention Activist Post. I was just pulling your,
your Twitter up and, uh,
I had a bit of a run yesterday the last two days you know I never get any traction on
that site it's I'm talking to myself as far as I'm concerned I did make a kind of
off-handed comment that when they were they were moving the Nimitz I said it
looks like they're positioning the the false flag or they're moving
the false flag piece into that one right there. Got 1.4 million views and 48,000 likes.
I've never had that before. My favorite is the comments. Did you read the comments?
Every single one. There wasn't as far as I could see.
And I didn't read, I didn't read every single one of them, but almost
everyone I saw was like, yup, uh-huh, it's coming.
Yup.
There wasn't a single person going, oh, you're crazy.
Get out of here with this stuff.
They were all like, yeah, I could see that happening.
I mean, once you know the playbook, you can you it's like football.
Once you know the plays, the other team runs and they line up in that formation.
You go, I know what's coming next based on the game film of them watching.
And we've been watching Israeli game film for a long time.
We know how this works.
We know how they operate by way of deception.
D'al shalt do war.
So expect, expect covert means expect some sort of false flag. By way of deception thou shalt do war so expect expect
Covert means expect some sort of false flag expect something now. It may not be the Nimitz It may happen in you know, it may happen in
Nebraska for you know, it may be one of those situations where it's easy to dismiss
Oh, well, you know Americans aren't gonna get all riled up into wanting to go into World War Three if something happens in the, you know, Red Sea or someplace, you know, but if it happens in
Kentucky or Arizona or someplace that you're not expecting that, then it sends the message that
if it could happen in this small town Americana, then it could happen anywhere. And if it can
happen anywhere, then everybody needs to be afraid.
I was thinking on my way into the studio this morning about, for some reason, the
movie Patton popped into my head and, uh, George C. Scott, you know, and it has that scene where, uh, he's going to fight Rommel
for the first time and he'd been studying Rommel, you know, so he actually
read Rommel's book on tank tactics, you know, and then he gets he's excited because he defeats as a small skirmish defeats him and says you magnificent sob I read your book.
You know, it's kind of like where we are now. You're so right. I mean, it's just, it seems like they run the same play and they would, it is like the
world, by the way, like rational, I say semi-rational people, but, but markets,
I was talking about this earlier, Charlie markets already anticipated that they're
like, okay, we see the back and forth between Israel and Iran.
We see this as a geographically contained.
So the price of gold pulls back because they're like, well, nothing else here.
This should be a, this will burn itself out.
It's geographically contained.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is rushing back from the G seven.
You got Pete Hexeth going on on, you know, all, all hands on deck for Fox news,
you know, hyperventilation and you're going, so what, wait a minute, what is it?
What are you doing?
And then you have all the, all the talking heads and the sycophants for the
military industrial complex are already saying, look out for, you know, terror
attacks here, which has nothing to do with, you know, what's actually happening there.
Yeah.
But it's speaking of knowing the Israeli play in my octopus book, I wrote a
chapter called student body, right.
And student body, right is an old play,
an old football play that the USC Trojans used to run
in the late 60s when they had OJ Simpson
as their running back.
We won't get into what OJ wound up doing in the future.
But the play was hand off the ball to OJ,
pull your tackles, pull everybody,
and run everybody off to the right hand side. Everybody's gonna block.
We're gonna call it student body right. Like the entire student body is running to the right side. We're gonna block.
OJ's gonna run. And it's an unstoppable play. And the reason why I named that chapter student body right with regard to Israel
was because they run the same play over and over again. If it's unstoppable, they will run it until somebody proves that they can stop it.
I wrote that in the context of calling everybody
anti-Semitic and labeling everybody,
the Jewish people as victims constantly,
constantly the victim,
and how they prey on your emotions
to get you to feel guilty for not,
I don't know, standing with Israel
enough or talking about the Holocaust enough or whatever it is, whatever the thing is that
they want you to do, they have a tactic that they run over and over again.
It's guilt and shame and trying to make people feel like they're anti-Semites if they don't
properly support this terrorist regime in the Middle East that's infiltrated the United
States government and has affected our foreign policy for the last 60 years.
So the tactic when it comes to false flags is the same.
I mean, how many times do people need to watch the dancing Israelis on Israeli television
talk about we were there to document the event?
Why were you there to document it? Did you get lucky? Did you get a fortune cookie that told were there to document the event. Why were you there to document it?
Did you get lucky?
Did you get a fortune cookie
that told you to go document the event
or were you involved in it?
Of course, the answer,
we know who was involved in 9-11.
We know, it wasn't just the Bush administration
and those lunatics, they had help.
And so when they start talking about wanting to draw us
into an unpopular war, just go to the playbook and the playbook says look for a false flag to be blamed on their
enemy Osama bin Laden in the early 90s whatever to kick off this war in the
Middle East this this seven countries in five years and and of course Iran has
been on the drawing board forever, and the United States and Israel
have been looking for an excuse to do it.
So you just work backwards.
And I think what has changed in the last,
I don't know, maybe decade or so,
is that it used to be that the American people,
by default, would think,
oh, we the people don't want war,
so therefore our government doesn't want war. So they're trying to get keep us
out of this potential war. But things keep happening. We keep getting drawn in. No, no, you don't want war. I don't want
war. Our government wants war. They want World War Three. They're not trying to figure out how to not get in it. They're,
they're going to the Patrick Claussen quote. I frankly find it hard to figure out
how our president is gonna get us to war with Iran.
Not get us out of a war with Iran,
get us to war with Iran.
So we have to change our thinking.
We can't export our mentality or our morality
onto the government, onto the United States government.
That's insane.
They don't want the same things we want we want peace
They want war so instead once people start to look at this as they want us to get into a war and work backwards
How would we do that? Well, it'd have to be something that really got the the American people
You know galvanized to go fight this it'd have to be what you know, it'd have to be like
galvanized to go fight this. It'd have to be like planes flying into buildings
in New York City or something like that.
And so you go, okay, well, is Iran gonna do that
and give us the justification to start this war?
Of course not.
Have they done that before?
No, the Israelis have plenty of times.
Have the Iranians?
No, they always get blamed for stuff like this.
So I just opened my playbook and say,
what will happen is the Iranians will not conduct
a terrorist attack against the United States,
but that doesn't mean one won't happen
and be blamed on them.
The Israelis will because they do that.
They talk openly about it.
They're the ones that want it.
If you were investigating a crime, a murder,
and you dragged all these people down to the police station,
you would say, who has motive and opportunity? Who wants this more than any? Quibono, who benefits? The Israelis. They need this.
What would you do if you were Iran? Would you take a big stick and whack the hornet's nest of the United States?
Of course not. But that doesn't mean it won't happen. And maybe, Tony, maybe it's nest of the United States? Of course not.
But that doesn't mean it won't happen.
And maybe, Tony, maybe it's not something
that happens in the US, like on our homeland,
though I think it may be.
What if it's just all of a sudden our military bases
that are in Iraq and Syria,
what if they just up and blow?
What if Diego Garcia gets turned into a parking lot?
Then what?
Then we're in from a military standpoint. It might not have the general public support for it, but the media will work 24-7.
The new mainstream alternative media will be talking about when do we start World War III, tomorrow, next week, the next month. I mean, there'll never be an off-ramp to like, let's not do this. So I'm very concerned about the the the situation that
we're in now because there are state actors out there that actively want this. And then on top of
all it could you and I have had plenty of conversations about money, hard money, the economy,
fiat currencies, things like that. Let's also not forget about the impending economic collapse that
needs to be papered over and covered up before it happens. And what better way to
do that than to distract everybody on their televisions with war and
also give the printing press the justification to go berserk and start
printing money to to try and paper over this collapse that's coming.
I totally agree with you that the entire synopsis, because we've been,
we're being led to it and it's a Kubono.
You look at it, who benefits it's amazing historically.
And not that Iran's a great nation or something that I want to live there or,
you know, but if you look how restrained they've been, you go back to our
intervention at operation Ajax in the early 1950s and the overthrow
of Mosaddegh and installation of the Shah and everything else.
There was supposed, like at the time, there was General George Marshall opposed the recognition
of Israel and think that would drive a wedge between Iran and the West.
Even back then, that's what the thinking was. And it certainly did, but you know, we kept intervening, doing the overthrowing,
put in the Shaw and that led to the 1979 revolution and then really the start of
modern day, what you would perceive as Islamic radicalism.
I mean, that's when you get, but that's Shia, but that's the, that's the beginning
of of course, 1979, the same year that we recruit Tim Osmond,
uh, the head of Al Qaeda to, uh, to kill Russians, uh, in Afghanistan for us.
And that's Osama bin Laden, for those who don't know.
And that's so that that's a big radicalization point there, but they call them the, they call
Iran the largest exporter of terrorism in the world.
And I'm watching them get
hit preemptively this is a preemptive strike that's just you know this that
that is not a just war strategy that's not coming from a moral superiority
like it's not the st. Augustine's just war synopsis this is something totally
different very third rik, if you ask me.
So no, I don't know the definition of largest exporter of terror in the world is laughable
at this point. If you look at the intervention of both, what's the latest from Assad? How's
Gaddafi doing? You know, how's Saddam Hussein right now? Like, all these things. And we gave Saddam Hussein the gas to take on and gas used chemical weapons against the
Iranians in the 1980s.
So there's a lot of dead of there.
So they're pretty restrained as far as like we've been everywhere since then and invading
and bombing and the Israelis too.
I mean, you know, when has Iran done a preemptive strike
on someone else's nuclear facility?
That never.
It's all, as we rightly recognize,
it's all classic projection from the American empire
and the Israeli, whatever you want to call it,
ethno, terrorist ethno state.
They're the ones doing this. And, you know, accuse your enemy of that whatever you want to call it, terrorist ethnostate.
They're the ones doing this.
And accuse your enemy of that which you yourself are guilty of.
This is just classic psychopathy.
It's projection.
It's every speech Hillary Clinton has ever given.
I mean, it's frustrating.
But the thing is, once you learn the language
and you decipher how this works and you get, you start to
formulate your own
translation for what, when they say something what it actually means, you know, and the Toastmasters, the thumb on that,
you know, we've got to start, you watch these things and you go, okay, I'm getting neuro-linguistic programming here.
I'm getting classic psychopathy.
I'm getting projection of the utmost degree.
I'm getting appeals to authority.
I mean, like you could just go through the checklist
and you watch these speeches.
In fact, a great movie that has done wonderful work recently
in taking those speeches and then pointing out
the Barnum statements
would be the new mockumentary Barnum World,
which goes and
Overboard when people like Hillary Clinton and Gavin Newsom start talking they start freeze framing what they're talking about and pointing out Barnum statement
Barnum state, you know, we're all in this together
you know it
you watch the speeches and
They are there's two versions
There's the words that are coming out of the person's mouth
and then there's like the translation and the translate,
like if you were the sign language person,
the sign language person would be giving you
a much different translation.
It's like, oh, this lady's crazy.
This lady's talking about, you know,
she's accusing the enemy of things
that they're about to do.
You know, talking about Iran is about to kick off
a terrorism in the West and anything no no okay
So what does that mean when I hear the Israeli government talking about how Iran is going to kick off terrorism inside in America?
I've run that through my filter my translation is oh
We are we the Israelis are about to do a false flag in America to drag you into war. Oh, that's you know
That they're our greatest ally. They're, they're our greatest ally. We'll
reexamine that. Run that through your BS detector, please,
everybody go go back and look, let's talk about the Liberty.
Let's talk about a variety of things. Let's talk about the
King David Hotel. Let's talk about where the the let's talk
about Menachem Begin, one of the founders of the state of Israel
Let's talk about Menachem Begin, one of the founders of the state of Israel, being described by somebody as a international terrorist, and he corrects them and says, No, I am the godfather of international terrorism.
You go, was he misquoted? No, he felt he was misquoted when he was only called just an international terrorist. He wants to be known as the godfather. They go, this is the guy who started your country.
This was one of your first prime ministers.
This is the guy who set the mood for it.
This is a guy who was involved in bombing hotels.
So excuse me if I don't just get on my knees for our greatest ally,
because our greatest ally has been a parasite on this
country, has been destroying America from the inside for a very long time.
And I think that a segment of the general public is starting to wake up to this.
And 9-11 didn't do it because a lot of people couldn't figure out the fingerprints and they got wrapped up into, you know,
the patriotism and the songs and the America and all this stuff that was going on.
And we saw what happened to the Dixie Chicks and anybody that stood up and said,
I have questions about maybe us going into Iraq. You are anti-American, right? And all that stuff.
I don't know if those tactics are going to work this time around.
I think a lot of people have seen through this. And I think, you know, I mean, it's evidenced by my throwaway tweet that winds up
going viral. And people are all in agreement. Yes, we see this as a possibility. You, you, this isn't crazy conspiracy theory,
This isn't crazy conspiracy theory, although it is technically a theory, I suppose, but it's not crazy. It's just connecting dots. It's looking at history. It's pattern recognition. It's knowing your enemy.
It's knowing your allies. It's knowing a lot of things.
And so I wonder, I wonder if they're going to have the ability with a defunct mainstream media that's lost its touch and has zero credibility.
I wonder if they can really sell another unpopular Middle East
war these days because the next time Netanyahu starts talking
about anything, is this babies in the incubator or is this
yellowcake uranium? Because I'm getting confused as to which lie you're telling right
now.
But I know it's a lie.
I'm not sure if Rand Corporation wrote it for you or if it was coming out of some Hill
and Nolten PR firm that's writing this.
Because we're not getting the truth. I think we were aware of that and, um, and, and to sit by and cheerlead
America into world war three, I think is disgusting and we
should want no part in it.
Well, 1000%.
And I, historically, you know, you talk about, um, the difference between this
2001 and now as far as culture.
And so there's a, there's a gap, there's a vastness of difference
between the consciousness and that look, and there's still, I talked about
partisanship and stupidity this morning, the blending of things like what happened
to the tea party movement we saw with that, you know, what, because it was
originally it was Ron Paul's and it was, it was real and it was substantive.
And then it turned into
you know whatever it kind of a clown world version funhouse mirror version of itself.
But I do believe that there's a disparity you know as far as the knee-jerk support
that I saw when I got home from Iraq you know my third foreign war and I got home and I was done with the military and like the way that people in North Texas, like
the way that they would view the middle East at that's, I don't hear that as
much anymore.
It's so that's a, it's a, it's a disappearing demographic.
And I think that the power that the Israeli lobby has is, and I talked about
this yesterday on the show, I think is, is waning.
I think it, I think their high watermark was probably about 11 years ago.
Um, now it's still very powerful and you can see that because nobody wants this
war, but yet you've got the, even the, even Trump was supposedly elected by a
base of people that don't want Middle Eastern wars or don't want
to be bought. They want to work on this country.
And anyway, he's doing it, uh, unilaterally it looks like, and just
because of the powerful interests and powerful lobbies, but that's not
as powerful as it once was.
I think that it has piqued them.
And you mentioned something about the fingerprints of nine 11.
Well, you know, there's investigations that it may or may not happen that even, you know, Tucker Carlson had on was it Senator Ron Johnson had him on about,
uh, looking at building seven again, you started, if you uncover any of that,
you, you'll find what you just talked about.
And you know, the, back when there was some journalism in this country,
Brit Yume covered the, uh, is the dancing Israelis.
They were, they, that was a Fox news clip.
They actually, who was the other, I have to forget the other guy's name, but he
was used to be on Fox news as well.
They covered it.
It was, it was slowly, you know, it was quickly washed away, but they did cover it.
They, those, those guys, the dancing Israeli spent 70 days in federal prison and
were released under the Bush administration.
They traded them for something.
It did something and they released them.
And that's when you talked about them being on Israeli television saying that
they were there to document the event.
Just a little bit of push.
that they were there to document the event. Just a little bit of push, and we
would see that that operation was not what we were told.
The official story is ridiculous on its face
with everything in it.
But you're right.
I mean, in the playbook over and over again,
Kubono, who benefits, the ties to not only the military
industrial complex, but the
interest of the Israeli government.
I mean, Netanyahu said that's, you can go look this up.
He said 9-11 was, was good for Israel.
Yeah.
And the person who got the dancing Israelis out of, of prison was Michael
Chertoff, a dual Israeli citizen who gave us the backscatter machines for the TSA
and all of that through his company.
So somebody who had advanced knowledge of the event,
he was there to document the event as well.
So I think with Israel's influence, it's two part.
It's their influence over the American government,
which has not waned in my opinion,
it's still fully captured,
which is the reason why we can rightly see the playbook unfolding here and yet we can
be against war and the public can be against war, but we're still going to get it because
that segment is still captured, the governmental capture by Israel.
Now the population, the opinion, the popular opinion, that is definitely going away.
That is waning in terms of Israel's influence.
The general public is not blindly supporting
these Israeli endeavors.
They're starting to ask questions like,
well, does this help us?
Because we've got a lot, you know,
it's one thing when you're in a booming economy
and everything's fine and you're not worried
about 10 million people coming across the southern border
or taking your job or AI taking your job or the dollar
Devaluating the hyper inflating what once you if you don't have any of those things you can maybe say sure let's get into some
Foreign escapade in the Middle East and stay there for a decade
but when you've got
Problems at home. It's very difficult to sell that the United States needs to invest trillions of
dollars in yet another war like we had in Afghanistan where you replaced the Taliban
20 years later with the Taliban.
So you can't sell that to the American people anymore and get their support for it.
You might be able to sell, put the troops on the southern border, you know, for some, you know, for half the country, you'd probably be able to sell that narrative,
but put the troops in Egypt and stage them there to fly them into Iran. No, this feels
like it's an unsellable, it feels like you would need everything to go right. You'd
need the economy to be in good shape. You need the media to
still have teeth, which they don't. You'd need for there to be some sort of you'd still need a false flag or some sort of
justification that made it scary enough to get the boomers to freak out and support this, which I don't think they do
anymore. They're in their RVs driving around the country not paying attention, you know, not not interested in this any longer,
trying to spend all their money
so they don't have to give it to their kids when they die.
So, you know, filled up with spike proteins and statins,
driving around their RVs,
looking for a KOA on the side of the road somewhere.
But I don't think you can get those people
to support another war.
You certainly can't get the younger demographics.
They're the ones that are rightly calling out Israel,
which I've been, you know, pleasantly surprised for that young, that 18 to 28 demographic, like in that age range there,
you ask them their feelings on stuff in the Middle East and they don't want to, if they even know
what's going on, they're not interested in foreign excursions and be it China defending Taiwan, we go, wait, why?
We're not interested in that.
That's not our fight.
Or you want to start another war with Iran.
I don't think that you're going to have the support of the people.
But Tony, unfortunately, I don't know if that's even going to matter because it's not as though
the government is gonna go,
oh, you know, we did a poll, we called 2000 households
and we got the poll results back
and seems that war is unpopular.
So, you know, Donald Trump, don't start a war
because you'll be unpopular, you won't get reelected.
Oh wait, you don't have to worry about reelection.
Do it anyway.
You know, people are gonna think
that you've sold out to Israel.
People already think you've sold out to Israel.
It doesn't even matter anymore.
And of course we see the Warhawks, the Lindsey Graham's, the Tom
Cotton's of the world that are enthusiastically.
I joked that John Bolton had to consult his physician after the Iran
strikes, his blue pills were no longer needed, the blue pill.
But you know, this is, this is where we go with this, unfortunately.
I have to kind of laugh at the absurdity of it all
just to keep from crying because this is real scary.
I have no beef with the Iranian people.
Why would I?
They're not bothering me. I'm not bothering them.
I don't see the need for a war to start off.
And yet, here we are in the middle of 2025.
And I think that by the end of this year, we may see, you know,
we may, the world may be a very different place.
And that's a shame because it doesn't have to be that way.
And these people are choosing to do this.
This is a entirely preventable situation.
If you had people that wanted to prevent war,
but unfortunately I think the mask has been off lately.
We've seen these people for who they are.
They want this, they, you this. We knew Lindsey Graham would cheer
lead, but it's the other people, the people that were semi-moderate that are getting on board with
this. And then you have to start asking, is this what you really want or are you being controlled?
Are you being manipulated from the shadows? Is your APAC handler in your office telling you this is
the way it's going to be, or you're going to get primaried and we're going to replace you? I mean,
we saw what happened with Cori Bush, and not thatied and we're going to replace you. I mean, we
saw what happened with Cori Bush, and not that I have any love for Cori Bush, I think she's a lunatic, but she came out
strongly against Israel, got primaried. The new guy who's in her place might as well, you know, be Brian Mass, you know,
showing up wearing an IDF uniform and an Israeli cape for all we care. So they'll get somebody in there that will support their cause if you don't,
if you're a politician and you don't, if you're Cynthia McKinney or Thomas Massey,
you know, they know who you are. They're trying to get you out of there.
One of my favorite tweets of all, you kill it on Twitter. One of my favorite tweets of all time
was you on after the October 7th.
It just said, not dancing today.
Not dancing today.
Yeah. Yeah.
That IDF uniform by the congressman.
I just, I thought, could I, is there any historical reference that I read a lot
about, you know, congressional history and, you know know going back to guys like Sam Rayburn and
Lyndon Johnson and things I was always interested in that just you know congressional history
senate history I can't think of anything remotely like that that'd be like you showing up I start
thinking but what if you were just uh you know show up dressed as a federale maybe we'll be a
cowboy or you could be a pirate you know I, I mean, that's how, but it's even more dangerous because it's
the assumption that, uh, I'm bet this, this uniform is better.
Like the, and that's the thing about, uh, the Israeli worship that I've
always just had such a problem with growing up and you know, this is
the danger that it leads to.
It's like everything they do is right.
They're, they're better.
That's it's, it's what we're supposed to do, especially you get the Christian
element that unfortunately falls for that.
I it's so, so sad and the Schofield Bible and other things that point to that.
And it's just really, um, it's devastating to watch if you, if you know what we
know, which is like, just do a little bit of digging and you will find that this is not, uh, it's not in
our best interest and it certainly wasn't, uh, the purpose of the United
States or the constitutional Republic to get involved in any of this kind of stuff.
And, and the sacrifices that will have to be, if this continues to escalate,
which is, you know, Charlie, if they, if we do air strikes and
there's retaliations on U S bases, have you ever seen the picture of all the bases that
surround Iran?
Like, I'm sure you have, like, why did, if Ron doesn't want to be attacked, why did
they put their country so close to our military bases?
You know, they're everywhere, everywhere, we're all over the place.
And if you watch the movie W by Oliver Stone, I think Josh Brolin plays George W.
Bush and then they, oh gosh, it's a Christian Bale that played.
No, it's not him that plays Cheney that time, but it's another Cheney, right?
Cheney goes on the board.
I forget who plays Cheney in the movie, but Cheney goes on the big board,
you know, and then it's, it's all about Iran.
Like him.
That's what there's, that's the whole push of the seven countries in five years.
Wesley Clark on nine 12, 2001, like the, that's set up.
This could be, this is like end game.
And I don't know if they're in some sort of hurry up offense kind of, uh, system
or mode now because of
the politics that are going on.
It is interesting that you mentioned, and I've noticed this too.
They don't poll anymore.
Like the last couple of election cycles, they didn't even talk to people
about what was going on in their lives.
It was like, this is what we're doing.
This is the contrast, but then not ever looking at what people actually wanted. So that is interesting.
Like we've kind of been a post political world. Like there's, I
don't even know why anybody would study political science
anymore. Honestly, I mean, I'm not even saying that
facetiously. I don't even know like what is there a science in
between between one of these two things is going to win because
they'll contrast each other, but they have the same goals in mind.
So that is something very interesting to watch.
I fear the...
Well, so there was a statement that was made by, I think it was Trump, that said, you know,
something along the lines of
said something along the lines of, they better not attack us. Or we are not getting directly involved in this war
unless we are attacked directly.
That was the big one.
And there's two versions of people reading that comment.
The optimistic version is going, oh, well, as long as there's hope, as long as the Iranians
don't attack our bases or our Nimitz or whatever that's out there that's a big neon flashing
target that says, attack us, as long as the Iranians don't do that, we'll be fine.
It's like, no, no, no.
What they're saying is that's the setup.
That's how you know you're about to get attacked.
It's like, well, you know, the one thing that'll get us into this war,
I hope they don't do the one thing that gets us into this war.
And then you look at Iran and Iran's going, I'm not going to do that.
We know exactly what will happen.
And yet it will happen anyway.
And it will happen because it will be the Israelis that do it.
And they will pin it on the Iranians.
We've watched this movie. We know how
it plays out. If you see an American military base in the Middle East, it'd be in Iraq, bordering
Iraq, the disputed regions of Syria, whatever. You see one of these bases all of a sudden explode and
I don't know, 2,000 American troops die, 40,000 American troops die,
whatever, they all get hit at the same time. Or the Nimitz that's being
positioned into the area that's an old ship set to be decommissioned in a
year and that thing winds up miraculously at the bottom of the sea.
It will not be the Iranians. It will be the Israelis doing it as the
you know, as a false flag to draw America in. When America
says, oh, please don't throw me in the briar patch and then you're going to get thrown
in the briar patch. That's just how it's going to go. This is the signaling that they say.
Because then Trump can go back and say, well, I told them not to do it and then they did
it anyway. So I've been given no choice. choice I mean we told you what our red line was and they crossed it anyway because they're crazy and they want us dead and they
Hate our freedoms and they hate America and they hate us for apple pie and blue jeans and they just want to
Bullows to run the world's like
Rand's not bothering me. I don't see Iran trying to dirt, you know
me, I don't see Iran trying to, you know, interfering in my life at all. I don't see Brian Maass wearing his Iranian uniform. I don't see any of that going on. I see a lot
of Israel worship happening. I see a country that is desperate to start World War III,
to get us to fight World War III, by the way, not them to fight World War III, but for us
big brother to come in here and and give them the targeting
information that they need the bunker busters that they need to get these
facilities in the mountains or in you know
Drilled into the mountain that Iran has they need us to do this and the only way that they can get us in
There is if we have a justification for getting in there and the one justification is if we get attacked
So what do you think is going to happen?
We're going to get attacked.
And who's going to get blamed for it?
Iran.
And who's going to be the one doing it?
Not Iran.
It might even be us.
It might even be special forces.
I mean, this is why you could.
The Patrick Claussen interview, or I don't know if it's not
an interview, but the Patrick Claussen speech that he gave don't know if it's not an interview, but the Patrick
Claussen speech that he gave, you familiar with this guy?
He's the Israeli guy.
He talks about an Iranian crisis instigation, an Iranian sub.
Sometimes they go down, sometimes they might not come back up.
Who would know why?
You know, he does the whole thing and you go, oh my God, they're talking.
He's not drunk at a bar talking to his buddies.
He said, hey, don't tell anyone I want to start a war.
He's in on a podium with microphone cameras everywhere.
He is talking about how they want to start a war with Iran.
And so when it kicks off.
That piece of footage needs to be admitted as evidence.
Everyone needs to watch that and go, this is what you're working against.
This isn't, you could do all that, you could say all the nice things to Iran, say we're not going to attack.
It doesn't matter. The Israelis are going to do it and pin it on them.
We know this because they talk openly about how they're going to do it. So again, like if I were, if
if I committed a crime,
So again, if I committed a crime, and they pull up a video of me from a week earlier or a year earlier explaining how I could commit a crime and this is exactly how I would do
it, and then a crime gets committed exactly like that, and I'm a...
Wouldn't you pull that video up and go, well, here's you talking about it.
You're basically plotting it.
This is premeditated.
So when this kicks off, and unfortunately, I think it will,
because I think Netanyahu and his team
are backed into a corner.
And I don't think they can stop
without all going to prison, or worse.
So I think that this has been decided.
I think they got their guy in office, Trump,
who is either ideologically captured,
he's captured from blackmail. I don't know how much they need. Everyone says, oh, I bet they got the goods on Trump. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. I don't know how much they
need to have the goods on Trump. I think he wants this. I think he's on this team. So I'm worried for humanity as in any war. I fear for the public who has no power in this.
They're just on the receiving end.
The people in Iran, the people in Israel
who don't want this war,
who are held captive by their own government
in the same way we are by ours.
I know there's a segment of the Israeli population
that are throwing their hands up saying,
we're not in this either.
Much in the same way you say this,
when the Middle East accused America,
they say, you and your government are involved in this.
No, no, I'm not involved in this at all.
I don't want this war.
I don't want war.
Our government does.
Let's separate governments from the people.
But I just worry for the people
because we're always the ones that pay the price.
Because Lindsey Graham's not getting a helmet
and a parachute put on.
No matter how much we fantasize about that outcome,
it would be fantastic if it happened.
But until it happens, we will be guided into these
bloody wars by chicken hawk politicians
that have no skin in the game, like Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham is a homosexual man with no kids.
He has no stake in the game.
That's why a lot of the people, the Alex Carps
and Peter Thiels and Harare's of the world,
they're all homosexual men with no children.
I think that matters.
I think it matters if you have skin in the game for the next generation. If you don't, and you're plotting dystopian wars, or autonomous drones that are murdering people, or AI running the next theater of war, I think you need to have kids. I think it matters. I think you need to have a bloodline to protect. Because if you don't and we're starting, I'm starting to notice a pattern with a
lot of people in positions of power here.
I think when you don't, it changes your decision making process.
Yeah, I agree with that.
And it's a, you look at that certain set, that's a huge portion of intelligence
and military industrial complex operators from intelligence to direct military.
That's, that is a big portion.
Yeah.
And you're right.
And that the mindset is not about the future.
It's about now it's hard to imagine being that person who wants any of this right now.
I mean, I mean, just stepping back and logically looking at, I got a text from
my dad, uh, right when it kicked off, by the way, kicked off on Friday the 13th.
Anybody else notice that? Where's all my symbology people?
I mean, that's Friday the 13th.
Mattria guys, get in there.
I haven't seen you guys yet. I noticed it right off the bat.
It was Friday the 13th. And my dad texted me and said, and he
was very thoughtful and has been around. So he understands, you
know, business cycles. And he's like, this is going to be really bad for, for most businesses.
He said, it may be good for yours.
And I thought, I thought about that.
I don't know that it would be, uh, but if it is, I would rather not have it.
I would rather just work on the future.
I'd rather just build something and be creative.
Like who is sitting around?
Like you got to think about the type of person and it does make you.
Like, when you start thinking about, you're going to disrupt all these
lives around the world and the consequences could be catastrophic
because you're playing with fire and you know it like this is just criminality.
It's pure evil because it has nothing to do with keeping people safe.
Actually is the opposite.
It's about just the ritual of war itself.
And that's what's so heinous and unforgivable about any of this stuff.
And then there's no turning back at this point.
Like if, if, you know, we go through with this and I want to get your opinion on
what, where goes alternative
media at this point, where goes the whole, you know, cause this will break every
promise if this is the, if this is the case and we go headlong into this thing.
And it may be the unintended, well, you know, you talked about false flags, but
there will be something that happened.
There'll be, if we continue, there will be a catalyst for it.
Where do we go?
Is that the world's going to change?
America's going to change.
There's going to be a whole host of changes.
I think that politically, um, culturally it'll have a profound effect, but I
think one of the first places you'll see it is alternative media.
Um, I know there's a big portion of alternative media that's controlled
in some way because of sponsors or whatever. That's a, there of alternative media that's controlled in some way because
of sponsors or whatever that's an analysis that can be made on that. But this is a big
chunk of it is alternative media. Trump's the peacemaker. Trump did this and that and
this is taking down the deep state. That kind of just destroys all of that overnight, doesn't
it?
I would hope so. I would hope that people, I mean, but there's a segment that I think will be,
is they're ideologically captured on the red team and the blue team. You know, you're never
going to wake them up. They're going to be MAGA forever, or they're going to be, you know,
build back better Biden people. That's just where they are. But, and you don't really worry
about them because you can't reach a segment. It's the free agents in the middle that I'm looking for. I think alternative media has a real opportunity here, actually. The actual alternative media, not the mainstream alternative media that David Ica sort of talked about.
They've lost their, you know, MSNBC's ratings are down 57%. CNN's down almost 50%.
They can't, Comcast, Dave Zaslow's been trying to sell
MSNBC, there's no takers.
They had to put it in a different investment vehicle.
It's called Spinco.
They moved it in there so that it would be off their books
so that their stock price wasn't hammered by it.
It's a tax write-off for them.
They're gonna write off MSNBC for nothing.
But by the way, reminder that the MS and MSNBC
stands for Microsoft.
So when you hear anything about pro-vaccines
and all this pro-eugenics,
the Gates Foundation fingerprints are all over that
and the reason why he never got bad publicity.
So those companies, MSNBC, CNN, they're dead.
There's no appetite for them.
And sort of, especially side note, if RFK Jr.
does sign the legislation to ban the mainstream media or to ban pharmaceuticals
from advertising on mainstream media,
which he has considered doing the United States
and New Zealand are the only two countries
that allow direct to consumer advertising
from the pharmaceutical industry.
If they get rid of that, there goes 60% of the ad revenue
for mainstream media news as well.
So that would just cut off the lifeblood to them.
So they're either dead or in some sort of zombie state right now.
The next tier, the tier that they've been planning for
is now what David Ica is called
the mainstream alternative media.
This is the daily wires of the world,
Tim Poole's, all this group.
Anybody who's had a picture taken with Netanyahu.
All right, that's Jim Hoff, Joe Hoff,
the Gateway Pundit guys that get those pictures, bright bards sitting around a table with Netanyahu. All right, that's Jim Hoff, Joe Hoff, Gateway Pundit guys, get those pictures,
Breitbart sitting in a round a table with Netanyahu back in early 2000s, you know, all those guys,
you can see that influence there. So it's the next level down. It's, oh, I'm not with the CIA
anymore, Sean Ryan, I just have this great studio, and I'm against the CIA, but I fly in all these
people, and we talk about all these interesting narratives
and we're definitely not spooks or anything like that.
So there's the podcasting world that's getting infiltrated,
which we knew would happen.
Actually, we sort of thought either
it was gonna happen that way
or they would just throw us off,
which may happen eventually.
But so it's the new version.
I'm not turning on my TV to get the news anymore.
I'm turning on my computer. So it's not the mainstream media I'm not turning on my TV to get the news anymore. I'm turning on my computer.
So it's not the mainstream media anymore.
It's something else.
Well, but is it something else?
Because it feels very much like a new version
of the mainstream media, allowing the dialogue
and discussion to happen within the accepted parameters,
not allowing anybody outside of that to talk about real things
and to have these sort of fake fights in there.
Then there's us, then there's the actual alternative media. And I say that we have
a big opportunity here because there are a lot of people that are, I consider to be media,
information, news, free agents. They're just, they're looking for information. They know that
the corporate media is compromised.
They don't trust them anymore.
Be that after COVID or after Joe Biden is healthy
or Kamala's filled with joy or whatever it is.
They just watch this and they go, none of this is true.
You guys are just liars.
I need information and I don't know where to get it.
And I don't need to be told how to feel
because I can make up my mind on how to feel.
I just need to give me the information
and I'll decide how I'm gonna interpret this.
And that is a huge opportunity for us.
It's part of the reason why the activist post purchase
for me was timely, because I felt like this is going to be a pivotal platform.
It's gonna be a place that I know I can send people,
all of us can go to get information,
to get news articles that you're not gonna see anywhere else,
articles about things that are 18 months early,
before they're, you know,
we'll talk about them at the dangerous time.
It's one thing when Tucker Carlson's like,
you know, I have questions about these vaccines in 2025.
You go, yeah, well, where were you in 2021
when we were doing it and we were getting de-platformed
and all of this stuff.
So some of it is the information that you put out,
but Tony, another part is the timing
of which the information is put out.
Are you putting it out when it matters most?
Are you putting it out when it's most? Are you putting it out when it's
dangerous? Are you talking about this stuff, when you're in the
in the heart of it, right, right in the middle of all the
insanity, you're calling out masks, you're calling out
vaccines and doing that, because we were doing that. And we can
show our track record of starting that up early in 2020,
as soon as the COVID kicked out. So for these alternative media platforms,
we're gonna have an opportunity to grab these people
to say, come over here, I'll give you the news.
You figure it out yourself.
You figure out how you feel.
If it does make you angry,
to make you support one side or the other,
that's your decision.
You go off and internalize that on your own.
We're gonna give you the information.
I don't have, I mean, as far as activist posts goes,
I don't have, I didn't borrow money to buy it.
I bought it with an all Bitcoin transaction.
So I have nobody standing above my shoulder saying,
don't put that story out, don't do that.
Don't let that person's article get published.
Censor this, none of that.
There's no censoring.
If there's any censoring, it'd be me.
And I'm not gonna do that.
So I take the articles and republish them
the way that the writers intended.
And so that information goes out there
essentially unfiltered.
And that's gonna be a huge opportunity
for people who are just trying to get their bearings.
So if there's somebody in your life
who you can kind of reach
and you wanna do it in a way
that isn't you sitting them down
and I'm gonna let me tell you,
let me lecture you about what's going on
in the Middle East, that doesn't work.
Your friends won't like that.
They'll be, you know, they'll fight that.
But if you're able to say,
hey, send, here's an article, check this out.
What do you think, what do you make of this?
Say, what, have you heard anything about this before? Check out this article about what's going on in, you
know, with with Bitcoin or what's going on in? Here we go. What's happening in Africa? What's going on with your
health? So we, we've got a nice wide variety here of topics and categories that people can can tap into there's always
something going on over there you'll find a I added podcasts as well and
most importantly there's a solution section too so if you're if you find
that all this information is overwhelming and you want to do
something about it but you don't you're not really sure where to start go to
the solution section you can read through a bunch of articles there.
You can get my free book.
So I think that this could wind up being the golden age
for the alternative media.
I mean, I know that there'll be a lot of infiltration.
There'll be a lot of people that you're gonna have to keep
your head on a swivel to make sure people aren't getting
paid off that the person that you'd been following
all this time isn't taking pictures with Benjamin Netanyahu
at Mar-a-Lago or wherever.
But you've got to, you know, but once you sift through,
I think it's a great opportunity for us
to reach a segment of the world out there
who's just looking for information,
doesn't need the bias.
And we learned a lot from 2020, 21, didn't we?
those of us who are out just way out front talking about, you know, the,
the medical tyranny, people like David Knight, I mean, just before anyone else,
uh, calling it the lockdowns and what was to follow and everything else and,
and what it was all about, you know, like trying to, trying to decipher that was I remember every aspect
of how my opinions change and what I was trying to discern from it.
And, and, uh, you have shows like that.
It's such an honor to host for David and, you know, and then the meeting
you and other people like Billy Ray Valentine and, and, uh, Don Jeffries
and others that we just kind of been out in front of a lot of things.
And then, you know, years later, you'll have these same these, now these time and, and, uh, Don Jeffries and others that we just kind of been out in front of a lot of things.
And then, you know, years later, you'll have these same, these,
now these podcasts that are huge everywhere that weren't, weren't
around there like, Hey, have you heard about Bill Gates getting farmland?
I'm like, that was the story we were covering that, you know, five years ago.
What, what is it with you guys?
And there's like, they tiptoe into stuff in territory.
That's already been like, we already laid on the bar barb wire and said,
you know, run over our back.
You come on, you know, this is a, and then these guys kind of just waltz in.
So that is a portion of it.
I think you're absolutely correct.
And then I love it that you've done this with activists posts and you and I've
been talking and, uh, you know, you shared this with me a while ago.
So I'm so cool to watch this be put together.
Cause I know you and I know, you know, your heart and like what's your, who you are and
what, why, why you do what you do and, uh, your passion for it and the consistency.
And I just, I love this because this is coming from a place where I know I can, if I go here,
I know that all the intention was for me to
try to figure out what's going on. It's not, it's just like yesterday, Charlie. It's such a teachable
moment. Like you have the headline of Drudge for the Minnesota shooter was the MAGA maniac. And then
you go over to Zero Hedge and he's the no Kings killer. It's literally two separate things at the same time.
And I'm like, well, let's figure out what this even means.
And somewhere in the middle is the truth probably,
but not, I mean, this extremes of like something
that Drudge does now with whatever it is.
And then you just can't trust in it.
All that, you're exactly right.
People just wanna, can you just tell me what's going on without lecturing me?
I just want to know what's the intelligence.
Let me make a decision.
And I think that's what, you know, the basis for something like your activist
post is, it's like, let's get the best Intel.
I want to make better.
That's the reason I do what I do.
Like whether my show is, you know, it's parapolitics and it's, I do precious
metals analysis and I do Bitcoin.
I do that macro economic stuff, big picture.
That's what I like to do.
And I do it to try to figure out myself what's next because I can't, I can't control the
political environment.
It's like, um, I've been, I think at this point, we're a lot like meteorologists, like,
Hey, here's a tornado. Uh, you know, this is, we're a lot like meteorologists, like, hey, here's a tornado.
Uh, you know, this is, it's going to probably strike here.
I can't like make the tornado go away, you know, and I try to, I try to use that
analysis.
Like I just, the best thing I can do is tell you what I believe is next and you
can make those, um, decisions, what, however you want to react to that yourself.
And so I love this.
Could you imagine someone coming out
and screaming at you though?
How dare you talk about the tornadoes?
You know what I mean?
We have to support, we have to support,
you need to just go, I'm just giving you the news,
I'm just giving you the information
and you deal with it however you want.
But there's always gonna be the anti tornado crowd
out there, you know that.
It's like, it doesn't matter, you see it coming,
you call it, everybody can clearly see it,
but if you point it out, you clearly hate weather.
And you are back.
I get tornadoes on their way.
Hi.
I think that's also sort of essential for this too.
We have to have a sense of humor.
I don't mean this to be disrespectful.
I know we're talking about World War III, there's nothing funny about it.
But you do have to get yourself to a position where you can laugh at the absurdity of it
all.
I think it helps you process it.
And I think that for the general public, the normies out there, as Corbett calls them, you've got to ease them into this
information. You cannot drop Building 7 on them on day one. It's too much. You know, you sort of have to start the
process of, you know, for those in our lives, our orbits that who are near to us, and we want to talk, we want to have
these conversations, because much in the same way we're warning
about the tornadoes, we want to warn our friends
and family like, hey, this is what we see.
But you've got to do that in a very careful way.
And I've done it every wrong way you can do it,
including bringing up 9-11 at Thanksgiving dinner,
which I don't recommend, or sitting somebody down
and saying, now let me tell you what's going on
and just opening up like an information fire hose. Nobody wants that, now let me tell you what's going on and just opening up like an information firehose. Nobody wants that. But I'll tell you, if you can get your family
members or friends who you want to connect with to engage with you on these topics, start
asking them some questions. Hey, what do you make of this? Or send them an article from
activist post and say, Hey, what do you make of this? You know, look at this, read this
article. This is, this seems crazy. What do you think about this? You know, look at this, read this article. This seems crazy.
What do you think about it?
Because a lot of the times,
what I've noticed in this situations
is that the person who I'm trying to connect with,
I asked that question,
they've never really thought about it.
They've never really verbalized it.
They've never worked it out
if they've even thought about it at all.
But you get them talking,
well, what do you,
you know, I remember I had this conversation
with a buddy of mine who was a good friend. I asked him. What do you, you know, I remember I had this conversation with a buddy of mine and I, who was a good friend.
I asked him, what do you make of the statistics
of the flu?
Like this was 20, you know, 38 million cases of the flu
in 2018, 38 million cases in 2019, zero cases in 2020.
But then, you know, the flu just went away.
I go, what do you attribute that to?
He goes, I don't know, masks.
I go, really?
But then why couldn't we do that?
And so I'm sort of probing to get his level
of knowledge on this.
Don't you find this a little interesting
that the numbers are so wonky on this?
And every now and then you're,
well, yeah, that is kind of weird.
I never thought about that.
Or I never saw that.
Or they're working off of different source material
than we are.
Like we're, we're, we're used to this information. We're used to
the CDC being liars. We're used to the White House and State
Department telling us that everything's fine when it's not.
But a lot of our friends, they have their heads down there in
their nine to five jobs, they're going to work every day, and
they haven't really thought about this. So you're so your
boomer uncle that you want to connect with, they're going to work every day, and they haven't really thought about this. So you're, so your boomer
uncle that you want to connect with, you've got to make it a dialogue, not a monologue, right? You've got to get that,
open that line of communication, and get them to start talking about what it is. But it's, because it's an important
time to reach people. And you can do it the wrong way. But you can also do it the strategic way, the right way. And that is to have the conversations
and you'll get a lot of information from it.
You'll find out where their level is.
Like, what's this guy's baseline level?
Are you understanding where I'm coming from
with this question or are you just completely out of it?
And you'll find from time to time,
there's some people you can work on.
And there's some people that go,
oh, I know all about this.
If false flags come in, you go, oh my God,
I didn't think you, I thought you were gonna dismiss me
as being crazy.
Like, no, no, no, I know what's happening.
So every now and then you'll find that somebody
in your orbit is a closeted conspiracy theorist.
And you get them talking a little bit,
you pull them aside at Thanksgiving dinner
and they're like, oh, I know exactly what's happening here.
And you go, okay, you're one of us. So, so, so start that process of having conversations with people in
your orbit, people that you think you can reach. And because we're going to need this, we are going to lose the
information war if we're not careful. And we're going to get everybody thinking that, that World War III isn't just a
must. It's that we should have done it sooner,
that we should have started it years ago,
or we should have taken out Iran
when we had the chance 10 years ago, or whatever it is.
No, no, no, we've got to have these conversations now
because the time is, I feel like the time is running out.
For those of us who see what's happening here,
like we are sprinting into a third
world war. And boy, once that starts, all the models are incomplete. You just don't know where
everything's going to go. And everything is impacted. The economy, travel, small business,
big business, currency, valuations, everything is connected.
And oil, God, they shut off the straight of Hormuz.
20 to 30% of the world's oil and natural gas is coming through there.
They turn that off all of a sudden.
And oil goes from whatever it is now, 65 a barrel or whatever to 165 overnight.
65 a barrel or whatever to 165 overnight. You think that's not going to impact your little
small town shop. It's going to impact everybody. So all of this matters and it's all connected in this. And for those of us paying attention, it's our duty and obligation to try to wake up
those in our orbit that we think are able to be awake. But I'll tell you what
Tony, I put a quote in my octopus book, a Navajo proverb, it says you cannot wake
a person who is pretending to be asleep. And unfortunately I fear that there are
a lot of people in this world who are pretending to be asleep right now and
that is dangerous. I think it's a excellent and chilling summation, my friend. That's, that's where we are. And our job really, I think trying to talk with people and not at them is
in the Socratic method.
Like you mentioned, it's, it takes more time, but it's more effective
than just yelling at somebody.
And we didn't really recover after COVID-19, 84.
I mean, if you, I fly around, I've traveled for business. I show up places, I travel. just yelling at somebody and we didn't really recover after COVID-19.
I mean, if you, I fly around, I've traveled for business, I show up places.
I think this is not the same world and it's not that far away from the world
before, but as far as timeline, so something happened, it's traumatic.
And that's what, if this is allowed to happen and you know, I think you and I
agree that the, the trains left the station
for this, uh, for a world war.
It's what it looks like to us.
Unfortunately, I think it will change a lot of things.
And so we have to even, we have to double and triple down to our commitment
to, um, to analysis and history for the sake of history, for history's sake.
To get this right.
Cause you're absolutely, I mean, correct on thinking of the revisionist
history that you get from world war two.
You know, like people that, uh, that's the good war, you know, and if
you really break it down, it doesn't make any sense, but, um, people build
their entire careers off of these silly narratives and things that, that
aren't corrected, it's absolutely off the mark and it's going to cost you more lives.
Like the takeaway from war war two was like, yeah, got us.
You can't have any sort of negotiation.
You can't it's appeasement, peace in our time and Neville
Chamberlain and all that stuff.
And it's, and it was, people forget it was England declared war on Germany.
The other way around, you know, stuff like that.
Yeah.
It, it, it pays to. It pays to know what the established
history narrative is, and then you've got to unlearn that and then relearn a different version,
the true version of history. That was something I was unprepared for. Once I left my schooling,
my compulsory schooling, and got out into the real world, what I found was that so much of what I thought I had known
about the history of our world has been a lie.
And as they say, history is written by the victors
and it's written for a variety of reasons.
And let's not allow ourselves to get seduced
into a third world war, a good war, the final war. Yeah, it might be the final war. That's the problem.
So I think it's a head on a swivel. Be pay attention to to what's coming. If you if we get ourselves in this scenario where there is a false flag event, make sure to connect with people close to you saying, you know, let's not be so quick to believe the official narrative.
Let's examine a little further.
This is how they do these things.
Well, tell us what's next on macroaggressions on your podcast and then tell people where
they can find you.
Well, the Wednesday's episode, I had to re-record.
I recorded it three weeks ago.
I tried to get some of my podcast episodes done in advance. So I have
block out some time so that I can write, because it's tough to do both at the same time. I
want to really kind of get in writing mode for a new book I'm working on. So I recorded
this episode and I had to rerecord it because between the time I did it and now, I was talking
about the Summer of Love 2025, revisited.
I was saying, expect chaos in the streets,
expect something to kick it off.
Well, and then we got the Los Angeles thing.
So I had to go back in, I had to rerecord the episode
to make it a little bit more, you know,
up to the times because I predicted something
that was gonna happen.
It wound up happening before the episode went out.
So you can catch macroaggressions
wherever podcasts are served. We do two a week. One on Wednesday is a monologue.
On Sundays it's interviews. We have Steve Poikin in on right now promoting a third eye carnival in
Pueblo, Colorado the weekend of 4th of July. If you're going to be in the area of Pueblo,
Colorado, we're having something called the third eye carnival. Again, this would be the third year
in a row at the Blowback Art Gallery.
It's a great weekend show.
We got bands playing.
We've got live podcasts going on.
You'll love it.
It's a fantastic place.
If you want to connect from the macroaggressions.io
is the website to do that.
And of course, Activist Post, Activist Post book market.
We didn't make an app for your phone
because we didn't want to centralize control
into the hands of Google and Apple in their app stores
because we saw what happened with Zero Hedge.
So you're going to have to just pull it up on a browser on your phone, but I promise it'll fly.
It works really well. We rebuilt the whole website, launched it in January.
So activistpost.com is the place to do that. Thanks, Tony, for having me back.
I always appreciate our conversations.
I do too, brother. It's always a pleasure. Charlie and I were texting and just didn't even mention what we're going to talk about.
Just, I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll see you tomorrow.
That's what you said. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll see you Tuesday.
See you next Tuesday.
Just popped in and we can have these kind of talks.
I love your mind and appreciate all your work, friend.
So let's
stay in touch on your show soon, okay? All right. Well, folks, we're still live. Got one hour left
here on the David Knight Show. Probably so much fun. Makes radio easy, makes podcasting easy.
He's always got so much to talk about and references. If you haven't, I highly recommend all of his books, but the octopus of global
control, uh, very well done.
And one of the things that'll blow your mind ago, if you get the octopus of
global control and I need to have Charlie back on just to do a whole show about it
was the Boston bombing.
The one that happened in 2013 or so.
Got to check that out.
Uh, there's some interesting, very highly interesting, uh, tidbits in there.
All right.
As I promised, if you go to, uh, my YouTube, if you go to at Tony
Arterburn and subscribe, I don't know how long they'll let me run it there,
but it's fun.
I just, I didn't know that there wasn't one under my name, so I grabbed it and I generally will do a live show. My radio shows there.
I might do America unplugged there. But if you want to join that and join the chat, this
is kind of an ask me anything. We'll open it up. You want to talk about gold, silver,
Bitcoin, geopolitics, history, anything. you can throw that in the last hour.
I thought that would be fun, uh, here for the last hour.
I'm going to host for a while.
I don't know when I'll be back.
Hopefully sooner than later.
It's been too long since I went the last time, but always a pleasure.
So if you want to hit that anything that, um, let me go and I'll have to go back
and forth between, so whatever, for whatever reason, rumble today, when I go back and forth between it, it plays the show.
Like I have to like stop the audio.
So if you're on Rumble, you wanna send some comments
and you certainly can.
And check that.
Let me see what's going on on Rumble.
What a great segment too. Love having Charlie on. Wakes my brain up in the second hour.
Let's see. Still just waiting on some, I'll wait on some comments. You guys anything on rumble, anything you want to
as a Cecilia 14, where is that show?
Y'all should talk about the Las Vegas shooting. Yes, we should.
Um, I don't have that show.
I don't, we haven't done it yet.
I need to do a show on, uh, the Boston bombing, but in, in Charlie's book,
the octopus of global control he writes
about that it it's very well done
let's see all right in between questions I will go and check out this last
article I had up over on Luke Rockwellwell.com. We've got a couple more things we can cover,
but as you can see, my wheelhouse, I feel like every problem's a nail and I've got
a hammer, but it's the most important stuff. War and the financial system, these are the
macro things, what's most changing in our world and the politics of it. It's, it's hard to get excited about politics anymore.
And I, when I was a kid, it fascinated me and I am being eight years old.
Oh, and I tell this story.
I've told him many times, but being eight years old, like the watching the vice
presidential debates between Lloyd Benson and Dan Quayle.
Okay.
Now, Lloyd Benson was a Texas
Democrat senator. He was the vice presidential candidate running in 1988
with Michael Dukakis and against George HW Bush. And I'll never forget like the
exchange that he had between Dan Quayle, you know, uh, said something about, uh, John F.
Kennedy and Lloyd Benson said, uh, I knew Jack Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine, Senator, you know, Jack Kennedy.
I watched that eight years old.
I was interested in Paul.
I'm not really interested anymore.
Um, mainly because of what Charlie said where the majority of people, they don't
even pull, they even pull for anything anymore.
Like if you're studying political science, why?
Like what is the science behind it?
It's just demographics now.
Um, and it's sad because there should be, you know, the only way to have, you know,
any sort of real discourse would be to have, you know, a political movement to
mean something, I don't see that really making a difference.
And this is lurockwell.com.
If it's to be war with Iran, let it be the war that nobody
comes to.
This is by Caitlin Johnston.
So let's make this clear.
If the US bombs Iran, Iran will kill US military personnel
in response.
If this happens, it will not be Iran's fault that those military personnel died, it will
be Trump's fault.
It will be the fault of everyone whose decisions led to the attack which resulted in their
deaths.
And they will have died for nothing. Anyone who dies in a war with Iran will have died for nothing.
They will not have died fighting for anyone's freedom.
They will not have died protecting their country.
The warmongers and propagandists will try to spend their deaths in this way, but they will be lying.
The bereaved parents and partners of those who die will
also try to frame their deaths in this way, but they will
only be fooling themselves because the truth will be too
painful to bear.
I quoted that article that I wrote 10 years after the war
in Iraq, the first article I ever had published.
And I quoted the philosopher Nietzsche who said that most of us rarely have
the courage for what we already know.
Like you already know that it's bad.
You know, you're trying to frame things and it is sad, you know, as a, as a
combat veteran, because I sympathize so much with people that, you know, I
serve with, they have to frame it in a way and that people that, you know, I serve with, they have
to frame it in a way and that's fine.
You know, do what you need to do, but that is the truth.
Like anything that happens from this point on, um, you'll die for nothing.
Unfortunately, cause that has nothing to do with American security or American
prosperity or the Constitution or the
Bill of Rights or your family's safety. As a matter of fact, it makes it worse.
Ironically and sadly, tragically.
And the truth is that everyone who dies in such a war will have died because a
few powerful people made some extremely evil decisions out of their own self-interest and for no other reason."
She goes on to say,
Do not join the U.S. military.
Do not join the militaries of any nation which normally participates in America's wars.
If you are in those militaries, you should get out by any means necessary as quickly
as possible.
If further on down the track there is a draft for a war with Iran, you should dodge out by any means necessary as quickly as possible. If further on down the track, there is a draft for a war with Iran.
You should dodge the draft.
You should absolutely do that.
Because I'm going to remind you of the Genesis of what just happened.
See, that'll be swept under the rug, right?
This, this Gore Vidal called this the United States of amnesia.
But he was an old, he was the, the gay pap you cannon, if you will, but he was
very much an old Republic stylist of anti-war, um, he's anti-war left, which.
Where are you guys?
That's like, there's more Bigfoot sightings and, and literally more actual footage of UFOs than the anti war left.
I haven't seen you guys in forever because you got the
spirit of the Jacobin.
You got that operator speak.
I know you guys now.
And it's funny because I talked about that yesterday with the no
Kings protests and stuff.
They have the spirit of the revolutionary.
They don't have the spirit of the anti-war.
They don't have the same liberal mindset, you know, going back to Howard
Zinn who wrote the people's history of the United States.
Howard Zinn was a thoughtful man.
I mean, you can't agree with everything you said, but as a, as a left
winger, like one of the, who speaks for the left anymore is like Howard's in, uh, was one of, he was
the first, uh, bombers in world war II.
That was the end of the war.
They'd already won, but he, his squadron carried out dropping the first
jellied gasoline on people.
And it was also known as, uh, became known as napalm during the Vietnam war.
And that so affected him and like he went home and became a history professor and.
But yeah, that's, you know, he wrote against, uh, government overreach and, uh, you know, war,
the, the national security state, they don't do that anymore on the left. I don't know what the
left actually is anymore. It's like a death cult, but the right's not helping itself either.
They're stuck in the middle somewhere between these two clowns.
If you fight in such a war, you'll be fighting for nothing.
If you die in such a war, you will die for nothing.
If you lose your limbs in such a war, you will lose your fighting for nothing. If you die in such a war, you will die for nothing.
If you lose your limbs in such a war, you will lose your limbs for nothing.
If you suffer permanent brain damage in such a war, you will lose your mind for nothing.
Even if you manage to survive such a war, your body and brain intact, you will live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you killed human beings for nothing.
Read this on Fox news.
You know, giddy, one of the disgusting things and that's when you talk to
people like Charlie and, and I try to be as thoughtful as I can without, I don't
want clicks and I don't really care about followers or anything.
So I'm fine.
So I just do the best analysis that I can on my shows just for me.
Like this is literally like a support group.
Like I do this for myself and I do this for you and I do this from, it's like,
uh, I try to give back.
It's symbiotic, but every once in a while you think about it.
Like I just talked with Charlie about,
and how psychotic you have to be to be ramping this up right now. Like what kind of sick,
sick person would be wanting to throw us into some no-win unconstitutional war for the state
of Israel? That's what it is. Israel attacked Iran. And by the way, even
if they didn't, it has nothing to do with American security. We let people every day
walk across walls over the border, trafficking children and drugs and whatever. I mean, not
that I care about drugs, but I care about American security. I care about what the criminality on the side, I care about the ecological damage.
It's happened on the side.
I care about my country.
I care about the rule of law.
Like, what are we doing all this for?
But you don't, you know, that just happens, but we're going to do something
about over there, which is infuriating.
which is infuriating.
And the mere fact that you have so many in high levels that have weaseled their way up there,
they get to pull these levers against the wishes of the majority of American people is an affront to my sense.
You know, veteran cemeteries are packed full of people that thought they were defending the Constitution.
Some of them are people that I miss every single day. And they believed in something. And then these people just throw us into...
It's unforgivable. It really is.
And there will be consequences.
Like this is the, when you throw this into the matrix of things, like
there's a ripple effect and it will have unintended consequences, but it's
good that we have the origin story.
I'm, I'm paying attention.
I am awake for this one.
I'm awake.
I know exactly the same as what Charlie's saying with the Nimitz, you know, same
thing that happened to the USS Liberty.
It doesn't have to have the same kind of thing, right?
History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.
I am awake for this one, ladies and gentlemen.
So there's a stanza from Carl Sandberg's The People, Yes, which has been bubbling around
in my consciousness a lot lately.
The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked, what are those?
Soldiers?
What are soldiers?
They are for war.
They fight each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.
The girl held still and studied. Do you know I know something? Yes. What is it you know?
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Yeah, that's always been the question. What if they threw a war and then none of us showed up?
If the U.S. directly attacks Iran and it's looking increasingly likely that it will,
Iran can be expected to kill as many U.S. soldiers with powerful attacks on U.S. military
bases that were within striking range of its missiles.
If that happens, the U.S. can be expected to launch a full-scale regime change war on
Iran.
If that's to be, then let this be the war that nobody comes to
because the alternative is to fight and die in a stupid war
waged by evil people for nothing.
And if you say, I now I know who's on the Epstein client list.
So anybody who supports this in public office or that has influence,
there's your de facto Epstein client list.
Cause nobody in no rational human being, nobody who knows anything
about history would support this.
And you will see your favorite politicians and like
all your heroes.
This is like, I'm from being from Texas.
It's exhausting sometimes because we have the worst people, like the worst
politicians, they have the best people, but the worst ball, like it doesn't
reflect Texas, like I just meet the people that would, you know, farmers
and ranchers and small business
owners and hard working people. And it's like you meet and then you see the politicians
and you're like, what? What happened?
All right. Well, that's Caitlin Johnston, ladies and gents.
Excellent piece.
I'm gonna, let's see if you guys got any, we're still gonna make, still wanna do the AMA.
Twisted Communicators said, make Tony's bookshelf great again. Did it? Am I in decline? I keep pulling books off of it and it's
My studio needs a facelift
Melissa set this up for me in 2020 and I have I'm not maintained it
well
And then I've got you should see the if you could see the front of what I'm looking and that's like all this equipment
That doesn't work
I'm running at. That's like all this equipment that doesn't work.
I'm running everything off of a...
Running everything off of a laptop.
That twisted communicate.
Tony, this bookshelf does not receive his railing money.
This is great.
Yeah, anything you guys want to talk about on the chat. You go to the rumble
chat, that's probably the best place to to go. You got anything you want to ask
me, you want to put in the chat, I'll talk about it.
Wise Wolf Gold represent. Love that silver Brit one-tenth out you sent me last year brother.
Oh, I appreciate you.
That's Truth Speaker 1977.
Gar Goldsmith says I can't wait for Charlie's new book Octopus was fantastic.
Wasn't it though?
That's such a great book.
It's one of those books like when you're in alternative media that when you need to kind of like reframe your mind
like right now I need to kind of go back to the catacombs go back to source and
start re reading some of those those works like Charlie Robinson and Don Jeffries and
David Ike and things
Garg Goldsmith said, uh, Oh yeah.
Uh, Tony Junebug, uh, governor else, the bookshelf doesn't have
wars or racket on display.
It used to, and I don't know, maybe it's, I've gotten it off before and like,
and pulled it and read from it.
And that's you guys, my life can be chaotic sometimes.
from it and that's you guys my life can be chaotic sometimes garden says one more book will fit on Tony's bookshelf Charlie's next yeah one more just one
more
I have a question Tony gold is that a green screen bro like me on a green no
this is just my bookshelf this is just me I have
a green screen in Texas I sometimes use the backdrop to war games though of
NORAD that's that's fun
Tony how is AI impacting the gold and silver space?
Oh, I read an article about that last week on my show, and it's going to increase the
price of commodities because again, like the fiat system falling apart and I think commodities
will go up with that, but it's also the robotics and other things that the industries that will be produced by AI machines and other things.
Supposedly is going to drive the price of.
Of everything up.
There's you guys got an active chat.
Oh, boogeyman ketchup says Tony, do you still do heavy squats?
No, I do squats.
I do.
This is a fun question.
I do deadlifts.
Yesterday I did my hip flexors are so sore.
I've been working on that, but no, I do like the Hatfield squats where you got the weight,
kind of the more positioned out front, I'll do front squats. I don't do them heavy anymore. I could but it's not it's just not conducive to anything
It's we can go all kinds of topics guys, that's fun
Yeah, truth speaker in 1970 says silver having a nice run today
It is having a nice run today. What's silver doing? And we've just over 37.
Yeah, it was over 37 back under 37. But it's still I mean, it's it's staying strong. You
probably got some profit taking. Let's see, I've got back over on YouTube.
Let's see, I've got back over on YouTube.
I have always considered our freedom comes from the millions of people owing millions of arms, owning millions of arms not from the wars fought to make
evil men rich. I hate that so many fought, killed, and died for a lie. I do too. This
is from Denny. Yeah, that's that one thing right we
still learn armed nation we still have the second amendment was still have the
right to keep in their arms that does
uh...
for the security of a free state right that's
as necessary
and that has been a bulwark against
a globalist tyranny and uh... that's something that we can make a difference on.
It's like as far as gun ownership and things like that,
that's still something you can make an absolute difference on.
And free speech is another thing.
I think there's been some improvements on speech
over the last six, seven years.
I'm proud of that.
I think there's been some good,
there's been some things happen that are good and that there's been progress.
But then we get into situations like today and you just can't get drowned by
the partisanship of it.
You have to step back and call it for what it is.
And I think that's absolutely necessary and it's okay.
You know, there's always going to be challenges and I think it makes you better.
Like you, if you met no know, there's always going to be challenges and I think it makes you better.
Like you, if you met no resistance, that's the thing about, you know,
becoming the optimal self.
Like if you don't have resistance and you won't, you know, you won't, if you
don't have anything pushing back against you, it's argued it's arguably like
something that happened during the cold war.
This was America part of its best self in some of those times, you know, or did
it represent the best of its ideals because of, and you can argue, look, I
know you can argue all things about the fakeness of it, but I think it's some
time it was, you know, what the America of 1985 of, of
Rocky four, that's a completely different America.
Don't you think, you know, the way that it was represented, at least when I was a
kid and what it looked like to me and the ideals of it.
And I think that that spawned from entertainment.
It spawned from popular culture, from politics at the time.
And it's not perfect, but it seemed a lot more cohesive.
Of course it was a different country then.
I mean, you could have demographically, you could have the Reagan Democrats and
Reagan wins 48 states in 1984.
That would never, is anybody carrying 48 states ever again?
Probably.
They'll be blue.
You know, it'll be whatever blue means to you. But that's just because of demographics.
Interesting times, folks. Let me, I'm gonna continue. There's another article I
want to read. Go back and forth to the chat. We got about 35 minutes. This was fun today. Again, I'm going to keep you
in the wheelhouse of the monetary system, global finance.
I can't really announce what I'm going to call the new show yet. I don't want to, I need to have everything drawn up before I do that,
but you guys are going to love it.
And we're going to do a weekly broadcast that is in conjunction with a
newsletter and the newsletter will go out the same day.
And we're going to cover those articles that are in the newsletter and it'll be interactive.
So we'll put that out to our, it's a free, nothing will ever
be behind a paywall with me, but we're, we're working on that
behind the scenes, so you got to stay tuned for that.
And that's going to be, that's going to be a great project.
That'll be, I think the biggest thing I've done so far, um, in
my podcast, cause we're're gonna be on every channel
and it's geopolitics somewhat but it's mostly precious metals Bitcoin
monetary system Intel and open source and I think that will hopefully keep us
from having to suffer too much against censorship or getting banned so we'll be
able to reach more people
because we're going to be covering these macro economic topics.
But you guys know my background.
You can always check in on like Ardaburn Radio Transmission
or Paratruther because you know that's also my other wheelhouse.
My origin is out of the conspiracy theory of history
because that's where scholarship is.
Yeah, I didn't get into the realm of conspiracy by wanting clicks.
I got there by reading a lot and thinking and then seeing how things work.
It's just evidence-based. Conspiracy theory is just grown-up time. That's what that is.
All right. This is zero hedge today.
Gold, the global financial systems lie detector.
That has a little question mark there.
After your author by Matthew Pippenberg via, uh, von Gehr's gold is gold calling out a broken financial system?
It's funny because I've used this same rhetoric.
Early this year I was asked to give my most heretic opinion about the global financial
system. This was an unusual yet bold question and after a brief, I answered that the entire system was, well, a lie.
This may seem like a sensational response, and an industry sometimes prone to the sensational.
However, if we look at some stubborn facts, the answer is truer than its extreme. extreme when it comes to a financial system rotting from within the Botox
like beauty of a ballooning S and P and centralized credit market hides
an aging and decrepit disease.
That is policy lies like Botox can't hide reality forever in the evidence
of a fatally debt sick system, hiding
financial truths and the fork tongues and euphemistic lingo is literally all around us.
This is from the very era of my birth.
The list of lies is almost comical.
And this has a picture of Nixon saying your dollar will be worth just as much
as tomorrow as it is today.
It wasn't though.
That's August 15th, 1971.
Um, no, it wasn't.
You know, it's funny is by, and I don't take pleasure in this, but like he had
John Connolly was his, uh, secretary of the treasury.
John Connolly was in the car.
He was governor of Texas.
He was riding in the car, uh, with Kennedy.
That's where you get the magic bullet theory.
And I was joking, you know, that's, he created the magic monetary theory and the magic
bully theory at the same time, you know, uh, separated by less than 10 years.
Like, so 1971 he's Nixon's treasury secretary.
Nixon was in love with them.
Like this, this is the greatest thing.
I think by the early eighties though, John Connelly had filed for bankruptcy.
And it's, you know, nothing wrong with sometimes having to file for bankruptcy,
but you know, there's kind of the, doesn't make you like Lord of finance.
Uh, not to say that I am, but, uh, I wasn't secretary of the treasury either.
In 1971, for example, when Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold, thereby
allowing his own and future administrations, the unfettered luxury and
sickness of expanding, debasing the money supply.
He promised the measure would be temporary and that our dollar will be worth just as
much today as it is, or tomorrow as it is today.
Both statements, of course, were open lies.
50 years later, the dollar remains unshaperoned to gold. And when measured against a milligram of that same precious metal, the
USDA, USD, and other major fiat currencies, it has lost 99% of its purchasing power.
And that's the experiment.
And what I've been talking about, and I think that continue to pay attention to
that because that's the big story.
Maybe it's just me maybe it's just that i'm interested but i think it's bigger than i think it's bigger than.
What even we give it credit for it's not just about having a higher price in your silver or having a higher price.
In your gold or your bitcoin or something like that This is a monetary revolution of the highest order.
So you're, we're literally watching something of major historical
importance, possibly the biggest story.
And it will change everything.
And like I said earlier in the show, I mean, that is the big question.
It's like, what will they do?
They can't do what they're doing forever.
So it has to change where you have a complete implosion of the entire
system itself, like the death and the of, of currency.
The difference between currency and money is
the magic trick because just like this article mentioned
it's 1971, you go off the gold standard, gold's 35 bucks an
ounce in August 15th, 1971.
You end the decade, 1979, end about the time I was born,
gold's close to $800 an ounce.
And that's in 1979 dollars.
We, I don't think we've reached even parity of then, you know, like
as far as purchasing power is concerned.
And that's what happened to the dollar.
There was a lot of effort that went into putting that aside and buying some time.
But a lot of whatever was accomplished inside this past 54 years.
It is, I think a reckoning
that's happening.
Meanwhile, gold is rising faster against the USD and other world currencies
as their purchasing power is diluted by desperate policies to inflate away
their debt with debase currencies.
That's the thing. It's worldwide folks. Don't just forget about the dollar. You should look at
even understanding what's happening to the Bank of Japan. If you go on the Twitter handle,
Goldtelegraph, he brings that up a lot.
What's happening with the Japanese yen.
And that's another lesson in centralized control of central banking and fiat currency, and then what ends up happening when you talk about deficit
spending and borrowing and the owning of government debt by the central bank.
And it's just, this, it's a snake eating its own tail.
And that's why, um, you look at the price of gold or something that is a hard
asset or something finite like Bitcoin.
It's hard to, it's hard not to see the dichotomy there.
Like one's going one way, one's going the other.
And you can see like the big capital starting to trend into a new monetary
order based off order lying to our founding fathers.
It's also worth noting that Fiat paper dollar unbacked by gold is a direct contradiction
to our constitution and in my mind is itself just another lie.
Wilson's Fed, Woodrow Wilson, but long before the lies of 1971, let us not forget the lie
of 1913 when Wilson signed an equally unconstitutional
Federal Reserve into law a so-called independent bank which is anything but
independent it's effectively a fourth branch of government and is neither
federal nor a reserve it runs things folks put it that way and they were even asking
Like can that should be a big tell for you if you're like an establishment hack it's like well
Can president Trump not fired her own pal like we don't even know what he can do well, that's that's interesting I thought this was a part of the government. I
That's interesting. I thought this was a part of the government. I
Think the president by its charter gets to appoint a new head of the Federal Reserve or gets to select from a group of people
Like in name only right?
To yeah to the Fed the president's like whatever the king of or Queen of England is to the parliament or something. Like, it's a figurehead.
Larry Summers.
Fast forward to the great financial crisis of 2008, which was effectively a mortgage-backed security credit implosion driven by an unregulated derivatives market.
And we see even more staggering dishonesty.
A decade before this levered credit implosion, Assistant Secretary,
Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was called to Congress to answer
Brooklyn's born concern as the head of the CFTC that these derivative instruments, if left unregulated, would destabilize
markets.
Summers publicly embarrassed Born and then told the world that the bankers in charge
of these OTC instruments of levered destruction were more than sophisticated enough to manage
the risk.
Of course, by the 2008 market implosion, we all know that assertion was a lie.
That was a weird time.
It was like so much was out in the open that even as a 28 year old, I was watching it.
It's like, that can't be right.
Can't be right.
The markets aren't that strong.
They're not doing well.
And then you just see this financial analyst saying it's great.
It's great.
Everything's fine.
It's all very sound.
And then Bernanke yelling and Powell, we all also know that when the
markets tanked in 2008, thanks largely to Mr.
Summers deregulation fiasco, Bernanke's subsequent promise that the money printing,
which followed and he said counterfeiting, uh, you philistine,
he was literally called quantitative easing would only be a temporary measure.
It was just another lie. I remember that too. It was
the euphemistic quantitative easing that was referenced here was
Bernanke and I remember the price of gold was hitting a close $2,000 now he
calmed everybody down that's when silver hits last $50 that was 2011 calmed
everything down won't happen again says QE one was soon followed by QE two, three, four operation twists.
And then the unlimited QE by 2020 that's unlimited.
But such lies are nothing new to central bankers.
Remember Yellen says you will never see another financial crisis in your lifetime.
Janet Yellen, spring of 2018.
I do not worry that we could have another financial crisis. Janet Yellen fall of 2018.
Wow.
Oh, this is so much fun.
He's breaking it down.
All right.
I'll see what else is in the chat before.
I don't want to let the clock run out too far.
Let's see.
This is a twisted communique.
If Rambo, Waylon Jennings, and David Knight had a nephew, his name would be Tony.
And blue collar Eric says bookcase Tony ain't that tough. I like you blue collar. Eric, I ain't that tough, but twisted communicates very kind, sir.
I would never claim to be tough. It's hard to be. It's hard to look tough when you walk around with a chihuahua.
It's hard to be, it's hard to look tough when you walk around with a chihuahua.
Um, it's kind of funny. It's kind of incongruent. Um, but hey, it's trying to figure that out. You know, what am I, what am I trying to communicate with, uh, walking around with
my chihuahua all the time? Uh, it's my best friend.
Again, if you want to throw some questions out to me, you're definitely welcome to, as
we close out, we're in the last 21 minutes of the show.
Professor SDN, where is David Knight?
He's taking some time off his convalescent, sir.
He's just getting better, ready to come back to his own show.
I'm just keeping the chair warm for him.
The best of my ability that's over there on my ex or Twitter or whatever it's called.
I don't like rebranding.
It's like when they did the new Coke.
Remember that in the 80s?
Let's see, Tony, how do you dance and still look tough?
Is that a real question? Like you talk about the dancing Israelis.
Do they look tough to you?
I'm not sure I dance that much.
Is that fun?
That's Patrick Swayze.
Uh, I don't know.
Can you dance and still, I don't know.
Can you still be tough and you can two step.
Is that a thing?
I think you can be somewhat.
Is that acceptable?
You guys are fun.
You have to go join, you know, to go check out, uh, America unplugged
channel over on room, if you like rumble, subscribe to America unplugged and
follow me over on Twitter at Tony Arterburn.
I'll, I will be live this Thursday.
Or the Arterburn radio transmission.
I go out over a worldwide Christian radio, WWCR.
We do that. I used to do it every day show. I kept a over Worldwide Christian Radio, WWCR, we do that.
I used to do it every day show. I kept it one hour. It's kind of a remnant, but we're on episode
506, I think, coming up, 507, coming up this week. So yeah, do join.
And what will you do when the government outlaws gold? That's a great question because I get that all the time and I don't know.
The people that kept the gold when FDR wrote his executive order in April of 1933, the
people that kept the gold did really well.
They just didn't get caught. I know that they kept the gold because I buy
that gold all the time, which is some of the funniest things because the pre-1933 gold
coins, there's still a ton of them out there. A lot of people said, yeah, I'm not doing
that. Because you have to think, if you're holding that gold coin and you
realize that there's a whole wider world out there and just because the U S uh,
outlaws it or some, or they made it illegal for you to hoard and you were
able to keep a certain amount of it.
I just, uh, I just don't fear that as much because, uh, the government's
going to do what the government does.
But if you read history, like I do, then you find that gold prevails. fear that as much because the government's going to do what the government does. But
if you read history like I do, then you find that gold prevails. It outlasts governments.
It outlasts tyranny. It just outlasts us. It's God's money. And if you want to call
it that, it's not from a scriptural standpoint. It just means that it is finite it's from it's from our earth or
well part of it it's from the formation of it and it'll be here forever and
that's the way it works blue-collar Eric says Tony you are the man all jokes
aside well you can joke with me anytime I love that
I'm fine with that, as a matter of fact. I had, I'll tell you guys a story.
And it's kind of, I work a lot on maintaining, I think, as I read more, understand about
presence and like the presence of mind, which is, you know, to make good decisions and to be in the moment and to be the best version of yourself. And,
uh, you know, we're taught, we teach these, these little boys, you know, when I was taught
a lot of this stuff, you know, be, you know, show your emotions, do all this stuff. Yeah.
Control it is actually what you should say. Um, because it's, it's not as a
man, like it's something I study a lot. It's having a presence
of mind. And then I have just this internal trying to be calm,
you know, calm, make decisions and then not react immediately
because you can make better decisions. I don't always do
well with that. And maybe 10, 15 years ago, you know, a comment
or something set me off, I think years ago, you know, a comment or something set me off.
I'd think about it, you know, keep me up at night.
Now it doesn't matter.
In fact, I was, I had beans with me.
Um, and I took her into this little restaurant, this little
Mexican restaurant down the street from my house in Denison.
And I just, she sits on my lap and just, I mean, she doesn't do anything.
She just sits there and I'll eat a little bit and read, you know, at the end of the
day.
And I, there's this guy had been drinking way too much.
He was a go for veteran.
I found out he was telling me where he served in the Gulf war and he was a
Marine and I said, Oh, you look like a military man.
I said, I am.
I just wanted to eat.
I want to eat and read.
I didn't want to talk.
And then he's kept going.
I said, you know, what about your basic training?
What kind of basic trainings you have?
Well, we, you know, he was, I went in the eighties and you could
still get hit and beat up there.
And I said, we, I wouldn't, you know, I had a tough drill sergeant,
you know, in the army was love my drill sergeant.
He was awesome guy.
Somebody I looked up to, I didn't say much.
The guy kept going.
He said, well, you know, and then he'd made the point.
He said, uh, if he'd just gone through a tougher basic training
when they could still hit people, he wouldn't need that dog.
Talking about me, like I w like I was, I need beans to like, you know,
function or something.
And, uh, I just thought that was like 10 years ago.
I might've been like incensed by that.
I'm really want to call him out for, cause first of all, like, you know, I did.
Three, three wars, you know, and invaded countries.
I mean, it's a little bit different than desert storm.
Not taking anything away from that, but, um, I don't need my dog that way.
I want my dog that I hang out with my dog.
And so it made me laugh.
And so I think that's a, that's where we can. I think it's a good thing.
Like I start with that, especially if you're watching all these headlines and yeah,
you can be passionate, but there's a fine line.
You get too much.
You can get pulled in.
This is exactly what they want.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Twisted communicate said the Shaw said the West installed the Ayatollah will the Ayatollah be taken out or are the we just
cleaning house for him taking out domestic secular hardliners.
Oh, that's an interesting question.
Yeah, it gives us an enemy to like the boogeyman 1979 very
critical year.
That's when Saddam Hussein came to power too.
It's like, how far do they plan these things out?
Yeah, don't take that off the table.
We just need people to fight according to the establishment.
Gard Goldsmith says, my grandfather didn't turn in his gold.
Well, of course grandfather didn't turn in his gold.
Of course he didn't. That's fun.
You guys are great. Anything else you want to
shoot my way, go ahead before we close out
Bob Earth Day honey badger says sadly could the controllers will have their
war because they own the government well they may get their war but I think if we
do our job and we talk with people, not at them, you know, we get
information out, it's hard to control a populace who doesn't believe like you may have it for
a while, but you never, it's one of the things that the cultural Marxists learned.
Um, when they were kicked out of the Hitler's Germany in the thirties and fled here in the
United States, it's known as the Frankfurt school.
And they were Arden Marxists you know and they just saw the Soviet Union and said that's not really what we are the people have to
obey the government but they don't believe that's why they started the
cultural revolution of cultural Marxism
inside the universities.
And that's where you get the, the 1960s.
Was a direct correlation of the Frankfurt school and cultural Marxism.
Because they wanted to start with the youth and make them believe it.
But you change your mind and you know, it's hard for this stuff to stick.
And I think that a lot of their
ideology is bankrupt because of that already. I think they've gone too far.
All right, let me
finish one more thing on this article or so. And then I want to tell you about
some things with David Knight dot gold, some things I'm saying I want to talk to you
about wolf pack since I've got you here we've got almost I mean we got more than
1200 people probably close to if you add I don't know how many on rumble but I
don't think see that on this side we got a great deal of people watching I'll
talk to you about some of the stuff going on, how you can support David, and where you can find me, all that good stuff. Keep this stream
going.
This is MMT, Modern Monetary Theory, or as David calls it, the magic money tree. For
example, it's neither modern nor monetary nor a theory.
The fantasy of believing a nation can solve a debt crisis via more debt, which is then
monetized by creating fake money, has been tried from ancient Rome in 1789 France to
1990s Yugoslavia, but as history confirms, it has failed every time.
Other such lying euphemisms, from the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security
to the safe and effective of our now pardoned trust the science leadership may be less economic,
but they are also less dishonest by being far more about centralization than anything
patriotic or security driven.
In some, so many lies, so many examples.
Yeah.
I've said this for years.
Um, when you, that's why I call them Luciferian, Bankster notes, LBNs.
If you're going, I just, I'm betting against the system period.
End of issue.
I'm betting against it.
I'm betting on like, I don't, I don't hold a bunch of stocks, I don't hold a bunch of interests, I don't have a bunch of sponsors necessarily,
I sponsor myself, and I'm betting against what the system has created. And the fact that 99% of our nations now openly distrusted by greater than 40% of the US population
media outlets are owned by just five mega corporations.
Is it any wonder that such lies as Mark Twain quipped can travel halfway around the world
while the truth is putting it on its shoes.
I always thought that quote was the truth was putting his pants on.
Yeah, it's the gold is the ultimate lie detector.
Toward the end.
We clearly know we are reaching an inflection point in the global financial system when even the liars have started to confess the truth, and much of the truth is
golden.
In recent reports, they warned the rising demand for physical gold, over 2,000 tons over 2000 tons from London to NYC in 2025 could send the European Union into collapse.
Did you see that? The European Central Bank warned that gold is a threat to the system
because gold officially supplanted the euro as the second held most reserve asset by central banks.
It went from a pet rock to a massive threat to the global order.
Cause you start, you start monetizing in gold and it's a totally different world.
And you talk about budget constraints and other things.
You have to start showing your cards.
How much, how much liquidity do you have?
You have to, you have to balance things again.
You just can't go to the printing press
and create a new war or a new program
or have open borders and all the stuff that we do.
Says why?
Because the Eurozone already teetering
on skyrocketing debts and rising bond yields,
hence the interest rates doesn't have the money
nor the goal to meet their 100 to 1 levered gold derivative contracts, hitherto floating on the London and New York gold exchanges
with a gross exposure of over $1 trillion. Wow. Sadly, we've been warning of this derivative time bomb in COMEX insanity for years, yet
only now the ECB is confessing its trillion-dollar problem out loud.
Well, war covers up a lot.
If you notice, the war against its own people that they carried out in 2020 Rockefeller
lockstep style, the lockdowns, they mirroring each other around the world doing the same
things.
That was a lot due to what was happening behind the scenes financially as well. And notice that in 2020 the currency injections
went from QE to QE unlimited as this article states.
Well, excellent piece and I do think that this is like the end level of what Gresham's law, Gresham's law states
that when bad money enters the system, then good money goes into hiding.
And the end game of that is that the bad money dies.
And then you're left with what we have now. So that is the changing economic landscape.
Ladies and gents, I appreciate all of you being here.
I want to bring up the fact that I didn't do this yesterday.

I was just going to tell you about David Knight.Gold and proud sponsor of this fine program and
love the Knight family.
We have some excellent deals going down at Wolfpack.
I built that for people, those everyday people.
If you wanna get access to precious metals
in the face of everything we talked about today
with the fiat currency system and the establishment
and what they're pushing and how they're gonna continue
to debase and devalue the dollar.
It's good idea to learn about precious metals, how they house value and protect against inflation
and can protect you against geopolitical turmoil.
It's not really selling the fear, but just the upside of that is we've got Wolfpack.
You go to DavidNight.Gold, you click the tab, join Wolfpack, and we've got some great incentives
right now.
If you join us, free free silver promo code 1776 I'm gonna be announcing some stuff very soon on

be giving away a free American Silver Eagle for anything that is Alpha Wolf
and above if you want to upgrade to a higher level. And we've got a load of brilliant uncirculated half dollars in that a lot of Franklin's
and Kennedy's that I want to give away for people that want to come back.
