Hello everybody, welcome to the Rising Republic.
It's your boy, Zell Douglas Hogan.
And Ryan Buford, glad to have you.
It's been a crazy, crazy, we got so much going on in the backdrop.
We got some Fort Knox audits that are coming up.
President Trump promised whenever he took office, he'll be running page by
page, line through line through our budget, getting rid of waste, getting rid
of all the unnecessary spinning that's been going on in our country.
And lo and behold, it's happening out in the, in the, everybody seems to be
freaking out, Ryan, what have you heard?
Well, I mean, I can't remember if we talked about any of the stuff that had
been uncovered through the Doge type stuff last time we were on air,
but I mean, the social security stuff that's coming out,
all the things from USAID, you know,
and now into Fort Knox where we're waiting to see
what is in Fort Knox, what physically exists.
And I think it's a valid question.
What are we dealing with?
And every president kind of has just assumed
that everything is good to go.
And now we're starting to ask real critical thought questions
of where are we as a nation,
down to the point of where's the physical cash?
Where is the physical backing that we used to have
before we left the gold standard?
But of course it hasn't been released yet.
Like what is it there?
And if whether or not that's going to be released to the public or not, hopefully, you know,
we'll kind of get an idea.
But the fact that we're chasing down mineral reserves and resources in Ukraine as a bargaining
chip kind of makes me wonder a little bit.
Yeah, and there's so much stuff that just pouring through
and you got to sift almost through everything
because there's so much coming out right now.
I don't know how many people is employed through Doge
or working for Doge, but there's so much
that's being covered right now by the media.
And it's kind of, you have to sift through it line by line almost
as Trump has said in the past.
And it's difficult to find out what is really true
and what really isn't.
But one thing we know for sure is that,
that everybody's buzzing about it
is that there's an audit coming.
There's an audit coming to Fort Knox
because Fort Knox is supposed to have like 50% of America's gold reserves tied up in there and we're talking 147.3 million ounces
of gold like it's huge and this is supposed to be like 50% of this of our stash yeah that's
a big number.
Yeah you know I'm kind of curious we should have a certain amount and I think there's
it's gonna go one of two ways either and this is kind of my conspiracy thinking either it's
gonna be less than what we're supposed to have or it's gonna be significantly
more than what we're supposed to have if it's a lesson what we're supposed to
have that's gonna have you know an impact with regard to panic you know
banking institutions you know where are we doing with fiat currency,
all this kind of stuff.
If it's more than what we're supposed to have,
there's gonna be a big question around the world
as to where we got it from and who we took it from
or what, you know, what put us in a position
to where we have that kind of resources,
you know, those kind of resources.
So I'm kind of curious to see where it's gonna go, like what we're actually going to get out of it, but it's
kind of weird because if it's not right on the money where it should be and you
don't have people painting you know clay bricks gold to make it look like we have
what we're supposed to have, you know it's gonna stir a pot that most people
haven't really been paying attention to and And that is the cash in their pocket
or the digital number in their bank account
from their paychecks, you know?
I don't know what's going on,
but I recently, very recently saw a YouTube video
and I can't remember the amount of gold
that was being moved.
But in the newscast it said that X amount,
millions of whatever of gold,
probably ounces of bouillon was being transferred
from the Bank of England to the United States.
I'm like, did you hear that too?
I'm like, what's going on here?
Are they trying to replace it?
You know, to make it look like we're really up to par
where we're supposed to be?
Yeah, I mean, that's the only thing I can think of
is it's like, you know, oh, if we're gonna be audited,
then if we have reserves in one location
Then we need to bring them back to Fort Knox and if they're not in Fort Knox, why the hell aren't they?
You know what what's going on?
So I'm that's kind of got me curious too. Like what is the validity of that?
Is that an accurate report of what's going on with this money from Bank of England. But I don't know, I mean, it's funny
because we see this stuff, you know,
there's these broad strokes, sweeping movements
and things like that that are happening
with this administration one after another after another.
And it's happening so fast
that the media can't even keep up with it.
So I think it's gonna be tricky.
I mean, it has been tricky to be able
to determine the truth, but we're generally pretty good
at sussing out the details, and I think this is gonna be
the type of thing where you're gonna be pulling
from other resources to find out why is this money moving?
Where did it go?
Are we bringing it back?
Is it just for show?
I'm looking at the independent right now,
and the independent's saying,
and this was as of February 15th, 2025,
it says why are the US banks flying gold
from London to New York?
So this is as current as Trump's administration.
Now we know that there are things going on,
I'm not saying that Trump's innocent,
I hope to God he's not involved in this,
but it'd be hard to imagine that somebody could get
into Fort Knox without Trump finding out about it,
you know what I'm saying?
And replacing some of that gold that is supposed to be there
that isn't just to make us look good.
And this could be an ally kind of a thing.
That hey, you take care of us right now,
we'll take care of you right, you know.
That kind of a thing, quid pro quo kind of a thing.
But it goes on to say,
deep under London's three needle, thread needle,
street lies an intricate network of tunnels
holding the world's second largest depository of gold.
The Bank of England's nine heavily fortified vault
holds hundreds of tons of precious metal
valued at more than $252 billion.
But now they're being slowly emptied over fears
that President Trump is about to start a global trade war.
Okay, it goes on to say,
but much of the gold hasn't shipped to New York City
where the commodity is.
For the moment, worth substantially more
than it is in the UK capital.
The US Bank, JP Morgan, and the UK's HSBC
are two of the biggest things flying the precious metal
across the Atlantic.
To cover losses on short positions,
reports the Wall Street Journal.
The disruption to the gold market
and the subsequent movement of bullion
from London to Manhattan appears to be consequence
of Trump's looming tariff threats against imports
from the European Union entering the US.
So it sounds like it might not be just hitting,
you know, going into Fort Knox, per se,
but just kind of entering the United States economy.
So I'm not sure how that plays out and how it would look.
That sounds like you got banks moving money to cover losses. Exactly. It has nothing to do with Fort Knox, kind of entering the United States economy. So I'm not sure how that plays out and how it'll look like.
You got banks moving money to cover losses.
Exactly.
It has nothing to do with Fort Knox, but those banks,
I mean, for the United States government
to hold a certain amount of gold,
I'm sure there are ways for banks to be able
to use similar resources for storage
because it's kind of like,
and they probably rent the space basically
to keep their gold in that location.
I mean, I wouldn't be a bit surprised at all
if that's kind of what's happening.
Right.
But when that's, I mean, it's telling
because if banks are moving gold,
and that was what, two weeks ago,
that this report's coming out,
that people are realizing,
oh shoot, people are moving gold around,
and now within seven days of that happening,
all of a sudden we get called to investigate Fort Knox.
That's kind of telling, you know,
because if we're looking at potential trade wars
or issues with, you know, solvency and nations collapsing
as a result of gold that doesn't exist that's supposed to where are we? I mean, it's basic accounting. Where are we at this point?
Well because of all this buzz that I mean the gold futures in New York have risen 11% just this year
Wow, and that's closing Thursday at
$2,935 per Troy ounce
so something else interesting with the rest of the market
too, because the majority of it hasn't looked very good
over the last couple months.
Right, and so, and the whole point behind that is,
when they're saying this is how much gold we have,
you know, they're saying that there's, hey,
there's 147.3 million ounces of gold in the United States,
but then all of a sudden people start believing,
hey, there's not really that much gold there.
They start suspecting that the gold prices,
the value of gold will up, because if there's less gold,
let's say it becomes more rare than we thought it was,
that would make its value much higher.
Right?
That's how that system works.
Yeah, and if there is less gold, what happened to it?
Where are the reserves?
Why haven't they been kept up,
that kind of stuff.
And I could totally see the smoke and mirrors
from the last two presidencies.
Well, I guess the last presidency,
and I have really, the one before too,
even when Trump was president,
because there was so much bad media
and all the other stuff happening
that even if something like this was happening
right underneath Trump's nose,
it wouldn't surprise me.
He didn't know half the stuff that was going on
under his nose this last time because of all the holdovers
that he had.
He's coming in much stronger than he did last time.
Yeah, and it's almost, it's been kind of interesting
to watch because it's almost like a hunter
who gets skunked the first time they go to a spot
and then they realize, oh, there's a pattern here.
And I think what's happening is that pattern
has been recognized and it is being used to his advantage.
And really, and frankly, to the American people
for their advantage as well.
It might not feel right, you know?
I think we definitely need to peel that band-aid off.
And there's, I'm hearing, you know,
I'm in a pretty liberal area myself.
So I hear a lot of people there complaining about it
and all these things, you know,
everybody's worried and concerned,
but I'm just kind of sitting back like, yeah, let's do this.
Keep going, keep going.
And I'm kind of like silently encouraging this
and thinking to myself, this is gonna be amazing.
And it's just getting better.
I got, and my conservative friends are split on this
because the people that I talk to,
half of them are like, they don't wanna know.
They don't want this all to happen.
Okay, because one, they're afraid.
Exactly, they're afraid that it's gonna cause this problem
in the economy, it's gonna freaking make Trump look bad, it's gonna to cause us this problem in the economy. It's going to freaking make Trump look bad.
It's going to make people hate Elon Musk.
This isn't coming out of their mouth.
It's just, I'm abliming that.
Yeah, in general.
I'm generalizing it.
And then on the other side of the coin, which is my position, and which I've asked them
in return is, but do you really want to be lied to?
Even if it makes you feel good,
you won't do your government till keep lying to you,
just make you feel good when they're,
when the right hand is doing this,
but their left hand is doing this.
I don't want that.
I want the transparency and I don't wanna be lied to.
Yeah, I think that's,
it's kind of like getting out of a bad relationship
or trying to determine whether you wanna keep
that relationship alive.
Like you, at some point point if you've crossed that line or your partner has crossed that line,
you have to be able to come, what is the term, come to grips or come to task, what do you
call it?
Come to terms with the reality of transparency and how important it is and whether or not
you're going to be able to trust
after some sort of infraction.
Right, and the trust is gonna be hard to earn back,
but once, you know, then it takes more time.
And it may never happen with,
because he's only got, he's only just started Trumpets.
Oh yeah, I mean we've got-
He's got four years.
60 days in.
Yeah, so he's got little less than four years in, and then he's got four years. 60 days in. Yeah. So he's got a little less than four years in,
and then he's gonna be done.
And then who's the next president gonna be?
But that pain, that mistrust that was laid out here,
and in the previous presidency, he's gonna roll over.
It doesn't matter who the president is.
They're gonna be the face of the person that's not trusted
because they're the face of the government at that point.
Yeah.
You know, so if you got a bad Congress
that's not passing bills or can't come in agreement
on a bill to send to the president for him to sign off on,
the president is held accountable for that.
So when presidents run, they run on all these promises.
Trump, for example, when he says before his last presidency
that he's gonna build a wall, big, beautiful wall,
it's gonna be huge, you know, that kind of thing,
and he made this promise and it started and he got a
lot done, but it got slowed and it was even late coming because he just can't
build a wall like that without passing congressional, he could write a bill to
get it going, but the money has to come from congressional approvals. They have
to move the money around, the budget has to be approved first and sent through
and so if it slowed or stopped,
and it's hindered in any way,
that would stop his promises from working out.
And it's like that with any president.
So any president gets elected in there,
they're running all these promises,
but they can't always keep their promises.
And American people, I feel in large part,
are not able to understand the differences
in what he can and can't do,
because they're ignorant of how the constitution works.
Oh yeah, 100%.
And like what someone is capable of,
and I think there's a lot of the folks that are,
the folks who are really concerned about
some of Trump's actions making him look bad
or making them lose faith in him as a person
because he did or didn't do something.
I think that's kind of short-sighted
because a lot of the things that are
happening right now are going to have a long term impact that are going to undo the long
term damage that occurred the previous administration. And I mean, I remember looking as we were
going week by week with the Biden presidency right off the bat. And I was like, God, it's going to take a year for every week.
This guy has been in office to undo what has been done, the damage and,
and you know, what we're dealing with.
And I'm seeing that unraveling in lightning speed at this point.
And that's the only way to do it.
You have to, you really have to unravel all this stuff and that's the only way to do it. You have to, you
really have to unravel all this stuff and do it rapidly and even go a little
bit farther just so people can realize that hey look at the core of this nation
there is a set of rules and this is what we, this is what we stand on and I don't
think people realize the importance of that and how,
how much of a monster the government has become in that it's like grown into
everything. The department of education. I mean, that move last week or week
before it was significant, you know, where they're talking about removal of
the department of education completely. And somebody in my circle was like, oh
my God, can you believe Trump is just allowing
rich people to get richer now?
And I was, and we're like, what are you talking about?
Because he's offering $10,000 vouchers or credits, tax breaks or whatever for people
who send their kids to private schools.
Like homeschools and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was like, wait a second, because if they can afford to do that, then that means that they're spending
tens of thousands of dollars per student per year
on public education.
It's failing.
Yeah, exactly, and it's coming from the same budget.
So what they're accusing Trump of wasting this money
on per child or per household is going there anyway.
Like this is, X amount of dollars are allotted
to the education system.
So if they can break it up and send this much money
per child to get that child educated,
it's not like he's taking money, extra money out
to make this happen, to make this work.
He's taking what's already been allotted there
and splitting it up or dividing it up amongst the kids.
Yeah, well when you think about it,
I mean that is one example.
Your taxes in most places have
if you look at your annual tax bill there are usually components on there that have
to do with like a school bond or levy or something like that a couple hundred bucks a year or
whatever it might be so if we start getting out of the public school system you will see
not only benefits of your child's education
getting better by your choice of going to a private school,
but you will start to see taxes drop as a result
of these institutions not being built anymore
because they essentially are gonna be outdated
and there's gonna be different forms of education.
So, I mean, there's a financial aspect to it
and the people that are living in these regions
understand that.
But I think for the most part, it's just,
oh God, there's, it's just one more way
for the rich to get richer, you know?
Because that's all that people see this guy as,
is some billionaire, they're same as Musk, you know?
What's he doing?
Some NPC and they're same as Musk, you know? What's he doing? Some NPC in there auditing our gold and our programs
and oh, what'd you find?
A bunch of dead people in social security
that are getting paid, they're 300 years old?
Yeah, because that's what we're dealing with.
I mean, the edge, it's like every time he turns over a rock
there's a billion bugs that come out squealing and.
That's a good way to look at it.
Cockroaches.
Yeah, cockroaches.
We're like, okay, what's under this rock?
And Elon is not getting a paycheck for this leader either.
He's not getting paid to do, like Trump isn't.
Trump doesn't collect paychecks
from doing his job as president.
Elon isn't either.
These guys are patriots and they're doing this for America.
And Elon, I don't believe he was even born here.
He's an American citizen, but he wasn't even born here.
But he loves America, right?
So him and Trump are doing this thing
where they're trying to be transparent.
And part of it, I get why, the time to do this,
rip the bandaid off kind of a thing,
isn't really in your first term as president. It's your second term. That's the time you want to rip the bandaid off kind of a thing, isn't really in your first term as president.
It's your second term.
That's the time you wanna rip the bandaid off.
The first term is a buildup pretty much.
You wanna privately kinda be going through things
and find out what's going on,
and then get a real good grip
of what's happening in your country.
That's what your departments are doing,
what your cabinets are.
You want to know all these things
in the first four years of your president.
And hopefully if you win re-election,
you rip the bandaid off, right?
Because you're not gonna get re-elected.
There's not a third term for United States president.
Okay, so I think there might be some loopholes.
I've been hearing people talk and chatter,
but I'm not sure what those loopholes are
to be for a third term.
But for the most part,
most presidents only get two terms, right?
So if Trump's gonna make people mad,
and he's gonna try to save America,
what he feels in his mindset or his route to saving America
is to do that now because there won't be another term
for him, like this is it.
This is the end of the road.
Well, it's interesting that you say that too
because I don't know if you saw the video
that Elon Musk put out of Tulsi Gabbard.
I'm guessing it was Tulsi Gabbard on her Twitter account
or whatever, Instagram, but she's basically questioning
like the left and their viewpoint of Ukraine
and things like this in elections specifically.
And she gives a real brief rundown of Zelensky
and what he did, you know, how his elections
wound up getting botched and basically shut down as a result of martial law.
So he was because they knew he was going to lose the election six months ago or eight
months ago, something like that.
So they basically said, no, we're in an active war.
So we're just not going to have an election and we we're gonna allow this president to remain in power
And I think that's kind of that that old thing is in your in your previous thing
That's like if you just if you have them if it takes an emergency to give you emergency powers
And you're always gonna have an emergency because people who have that power are not gonna let it go
people who have that power are not gonna let it go.
So if there's a loophole, I can see that happening because it's like, wait a second,
all we have to do is get into a war,
but I don't see that happening.
If anything, I see the opposite
because I'm seeing a lot of like,
hey, we need to resolve this peacefully,
we need to get out of these situations,
same thing in the first term.
So I have a feeling that that is something that we're going to probably be looking into
or it could be a reality because if our nation is thinking that, hey look, it's okay to extend
a presidency because of something like this from a different nation, why not suspend our
constitution to do the same thing?
Yeah, and I remember that was a big fear when Obama was president, you know
Yeah on his way out this thing kind of thing was going to happen to prevent Trump from taking office and and you know
Like we were all worried about it again when Biden was president
I know the left worries about it when Trump is president
It's it's a legit American fear this you know
this martial law thing where we're going to suspend the Constitution because there's special powers that the president gets
and they're called the wartime powers.
I've talked about this with Sarah F. Hathaway on her show,
the Change Your Series.
These are the kinds of things
that can stop an election from happening.
If we're in a war, we don't have to hold an election
because you can't swap presidents in the middle of a war
and expect things to go smoothly for our people overseas.
You got a commander in chief who's got his people
commanding the front line.
So when a president goes in, most presidents do this.
They hire and they fire.
Because you don't want your people that's working for you
to have opposing views, right?
You want people who have the same mindset
and the same views that you share.
And so when you go into presidency,
you take those top military people that you had. And so it's the same, when you go into presidency, you take those people, those top military people
that you had from the previous administration,
you want to replace them with people
that you want to rule your military.
Cause you don't want somebody to say,
I need you to do this, tell me can we make this happen?
And then you got a hold over from the Biden administration
that's running, let's say the army for example,
and he's like, no, I don't think we're gonna do it that way.
I command, he's the president's the commander in chief. And that's why you want to say the Army for example, and he's like, no I don't think we're gonna do it that way. I command, you know, he's,
the President's the Commander in Chief,
and that's why you want to get rid of the old people
and not let them try to side swipe you so to speak,
or undermine you.
This has to be a smooth transition,
and when we got something on the line,
like we're talking about American treasure,
the blood of our soldiers overseas,
and we got people that are running things
that aren't in alignment with you,
that could be a serious problem,
especially in the middle when there's suddenly,
it's time to swap presidents now,
commanders in chief, and then you got swapping.
You saw how bad the Biden withdrawal was.
From Afghanistan.
From Afghanistan, it was complete botchery.
And it would be like that on a wide scale
if all of a sudden we had a president
swapped in the middle of a war
because now we got cabinet, we got cabinet members,
we got joint chiefs of staff
who were appointed by the president
that now are not in alignment with your views
and they're not gonna be doing what you're doing
and it's gonna be widespread debauchery.
But Volodymyr Zelensky, he's an absolute tyrant.
Don't get me wrong, he's an absolute tyrant
and I'm not in alignment with him.
Everything that he does,
it's all propaganda machine for him.
Having the cameras.
You remember whenever Russia first started to invade,
I believe it was this last time,
and he was in the trenches and he was fighting,
he was making these videos and these TikToks
and these YouTubes and all that.
I mean, he was a sensation before he ever became,
what are these, president?
President of Ukraine.
He was, remember he used to dance in feminine clothing
and he used to do all this,
I think he either dressed like gay or he is gay,
but that's how he dressed these sparkly type things
that he did.
He was a sensationalized president,
so he took this position as president.
He ran with that YouTube or that social media sensation,
and that's the kind of generation he's reaching out to.
And now he's conscripting his people
because he's got manpower issues.
Did you see that video, the interview with him and Trump?
Oh, I mean, I saw enough of it to realize
what was happening in that room.
It was crazy.
And there was other things that came out today.
I think it was shared on our PBN group in the background
and I saw some stuff on Twitter as well,
how there was a previous deal with Europe
or the United Kingdom,
where basically there's already some sort of something
with Vladimir Putin's mineral reserves
and they've been promised to the United Kingdom
or something like that.
I don't have all the details,
but essentially he showed up knowing
that there was no way he was gonna make a deal like that
and he was just doing it as a photo op
to get more money out of us.
And I mean, that went about as well as you could expect
from a guy who's like, no, you know, get your own.
We will help you, we can help you, but not like this.
If you wanna, you know, we're not just gonna sit there
and send money over, you can get it from the other nations
who haven't been chipping in, doing their part.
And he comes over dressed, I know the left is going crazy
about the way he came over, they're like,
I guess Trump, and he was questioned by somebody
in his cabinet, somebody from Trump's cabinet rather,
questioned Zelensky, why don't you ever wear a suit?
And he made this, well, I'm at war, well so what?
Every president that's in a wartime, he still wears a suit, they don't change their clothes because they're at war, you know. Well, so what? Every president that's in a wartime, he still wears a suit.
They don't change their clothes because they're at war.
Right, and he just, there's this element of I don't care.
You know, it's like you were saying.
He came to the table not even willing to compromise.
Right, and just to show some disrespect,
just get in front of the cameras, you know,
but he got shut down by both Vance and Saturday Night Live
likes to throw out their garbage too.
And their stupid little videos are already making fun of Vance. You know how they are to throw out their garbage too and their stupid little videos
They're already making fun of Vance. You know how they are
I don't know how these low slow and this is completely off topic and deep down the weeds
But these these these left-wing pundits and these shows how they continue to they're not making it. They're struggling and I don't know
They continue to do it but back on track. Let's do this
I want to take a quick break here get back because this
Actually get kind of deep and get kind of sinister Where this could go? I want to talk a little bit about that. want to take a quick break here and get back because this Actually get kind of deep and get kind of sinister
Where this could go I won't talk a little bit about that. Let's take a quick break here
We'll come right back. I want to talk a little bit about the last time we had a full audit

Again that's the Preppers Medical Handbook by William W. Fordy. Welcome back to the
Riding Republic. Okay so 1943 when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, it was the last time there was a last full audit
over at Fort Knox.
And when I say full audit, I don't even know how full it was.
I think he took a couple people in with him
and they just did like, it was a partial
and it wasn't even, I don't know, maybe it was full,
but I don't know.
It's hard for us to know
because the government
is so secretive about it and they don't allow cameras
to go in, they don't.
And that's why Elon came up with this idea
about doing a live walkthrough.
I was like, eh, I love the transparency idea,
but remember I've been in security for over 25 years.
I don't think I want the world to know the layout
of Fort Knox, right?
You know what I'm saying?
So maybe when they get there,
they can cut on the cameras and show the gold.
That's the kind of thing I would prefer.
I don't want a live walk through per se.
I'm not down with that.
Yeah, I mean, there's certain things
that you need to keep safe and secure.
But in audit, I mean, 80 plus years since the last time.
That's ridiculous.
There was a partial audit also in 1974.
Partial audit, that was whenever they,
there's a couple delegates that was picked out,
congressional delegates were picked out.
Basically what that means is they grabbed some people
that they thought would keep quiet
and they pick out their own people.
So that's what delegates are.
They delegate certain persons to do this
and some journalists.
So you also, you just don't get,
it's not a raffle where journalists,
it's a selection process.
So they pick out their people and they go in,
they did this and I'm not saying, it doesn't count as an audit in my mind because it was a selection process. So they pick out their people and they go in, they did this, and I'm not saying, you know,
it doesn't count as an audit in my mind
because it was a partial audit.
They literally walked in and said,
here it is, you have Fort Knox and here's some gold.
That's not good enough for me.
So there's been, and there's been, since then,
there's been no, they had no visitor policy
at Fort Knox since 1974.
So that's quite a bit of darkness.
So yes, but let's say it could darker than that
Let's say they get in there. Okay, Ryan and we find out that they in fact don't have
147.3 million ounces of gold. There's 70 ounces of gold 70 ounces 70 million ounces of gold, right?
Way way less than half what they're saying or in none, right?
Because let's face it. There's a lot of gold out there.
You go into any jewelry store, go into any thrift store,
go into any Walmart, there's gold everywhere, right?
I mean, where's all this gold coming from?
That kind of makes just, I don't know how much gold
the United States has, but I do know that during
the Great Depression, there was a lot of stuff collected.
The government was taking a lot
and they weren't giving out a lot.
But again, we became pretty,
the United States war machine pretty much woke up
and that war brought us out of the Great Depression
because jobs are created in war times.
It's just the way the capitalism functions.
People begin to wake up and jobs are created
and they begin to, the government will fund people
and businesses to create this, this, and this,
and jobs are created and people get wealthy
and the middle class continues, you know, will grow.
But if the gold is not there,
and there's way less than they told us,
we could be looking at an economic collapse
and there's already been talks of digital
currency, God they would love for a digital currency
to take effect because in digital currency and you got
the reserve system working up and can you imagine
a reserve centralized digital currency system
where the government essentially is controlling,
that's why I think Biden, well, I don't think I know,
Biden made some legislation and he put,
who was the IRS, which, okay, they don't make legislation,
but this is a great part.
I'm glad it was the IRS or Congress.
But he had the IRS come up with some ways
to put some focus groups
on digital currency because in his mind,
he's like this can't be controlled.
Bitcoin for example, you know, it's not,
it's monitored yes by the United States
but it's not regulated in the United States.
Exactly.
So what happens when people start investing their money
in this stuff that's not regulated by the United States
and it makes the gold, well yeah, essentially the gold
becomes less because people are using less gold.
And they're putting all their value in this digital,
in digital trades.
And then the United States says, hey, you know,
we're going now this way with the digital ID,
which is coming by the way, it's in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
And we just need the right president
to sign the United States onto it.
And it's gonna happen, it's gonna go down.
We're gonna have a digital ID where everybody gets one
and you can't buy, sell or trade
without one of these digital IDs.
And if you buy, say, everything goes digital,
which we're pretty much,
I deal so little with cash anymore.
Yeah, me too.
And it's, I mean, I'm running into more and more
situations where, you know, even the kiosks at the store,
I mean, last week I went grocery shopping and they were like,
oh, you know, only one of the eight machines there
would accept cash as payment.
And they're all designed to, they've all been built that way, but they only have one of them eight machines there would accept cash as payment and they're all designed to,
they've all been built that way,
but they only have one of them that actually accepts cash,
the rest of it's all card.
You know, I remember back in early 2020, I think,
I remember there was a huge change shortage
and people were like, there was like no nickels or whatever.
Yeah, there was a huge coin shortage
or people were not accepting coins anymore
or something like that, but it's, I mean,
there's definitely a reduction for sure
in not only our frequent use of cash,
but even accepting cash to be able to do stuff with it.
You know?
Well, when you go to the grocery,
do you go to the grocery store or do you buy online?
I always go to the grocery store.
And okay, do you pull out cash?
Say it.
Do you pull out cash to pay?
No, no.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, neither do I.
That'd be less to track though.
But here's the thing, when you pull out paper,
a dollar bill, we'll call that cash, okay?
That paper, it's just paper.
What that's saying is this is a trade note
equivalent to what the government says is worth,
it's worth at Fort Knox, right?
So all the, and our government has been
printing trillions of dollars in cash paper
and that's supposed to be backed by gold.
My personal opinion, we've never had
the amount of gold in My personal opinion, we've never had the amount of gold
in Fort Knox that, so basically the notes that we have
is not backed.
That's my personal opinion, and I don't think it ever
has been.
And what we have, the nickels are supposed to be worth
five cents of, you know, because it's supposed to be backed
by precious metal, that's constitutional, precious metals.
So a nickel is supposed to be worth five cents worth of precious metal. A dime is supposed to be worth 10 cents backed by precious metal. That's constitutional, precious metals. So a nickel is supposed to be worth five cents
worth of precious metal.
A dime is supposed to be worth 10 cents worth
of precious metal.
A quarter, same thing, 25 cents.
A dollar, it's a note.
Now we start getting crazy
because we're not dealing anymore in precious metals.
We're dealing with something that's basically a promise
by the US government saying,
we have this, this is backed, right?
But let's say I don't take any cash at all.
Let's say I don't pull out any paper currency.
Let's say I don't pull out any nickels, quarters,
diamonds, pennies, okay.
I'm just pulling out my debit card.
We've been dealing in digital currency for so long
that we don't even realize that it's happening.
I can't tell you how often I buy from Amazon.
It's a digital transaction and we've been doing it forever.
Yeah, and I mean that digital transaction
is going from your pocket to probably
some manufacturer in China. I mean, to be honest, I mean that digital transaction is going from your pocket to probably some manufacturer
in China.
I mean to be honest I mean that's where the majority of the Amazon products come from.
So it's it's and all we're doing is trading digital currency we're not actually trading
gold so I mean and if that promise drops if if because if it's not backed on gold then
it's a promise and that's it. So if we don't have the gold,
then we're breaking promises left and right.
And people don't realize that.
I mean, I can see where there'd be a worldwide issue
if the US dollar is no longer seen as the standard,
because that's kind of, that's how it's measured as of now.
I think that was something that happened,
oh, how long ago was that?
Since the 70s or?
And even recently Russia and China was working on
what was that piece that they came up with
because they were trying to,
and that was a big old threat.
Well, this is gonna undermine the stability
of the currency system
because the United States is the standard.
Whatever, we're supposed to have the most gold per se,
right, so whatever they say that we have,
like the United States is the standard for,
if the United States economic system collapses,
it's gonna be a global catastrophe.
What happens in this country?
How bad can it be?
You're more sure of a survivalist than I am.
What happens when the banks collapse
and they shut down because, let's face it,
if we find out there's not as much gold as they're saying
and then this truth gets, they rip the bandaid off,
so to speak, as you always eloquently say it,
and we find out that we've been lied to all this time
and it's not gonna take long for the economic system
to collapse, the economic system to collapse.
The economic system collapses.
It's gonna get bad at that point
because we don't have a system in place when it collapses.
It's going to be awful, dark days.
Definitely.
And I mean, at that point you're looking at,
I mean, to me, the way I see it is kind of like
what we walked out of during the hurricane in Prepper Camp
where within a hundred mile radius you pretty
much had no access to food, technology, power, fuel like that.
And it'll, but it's going to last more than just a couple of days, you know, before they
can get power up or a couple of weeks, couple of months, whatever it might be.
I mean, this, this is, you're talking long term at that point and from a survival standpoint
I mean this is where you're having skills and materials some sort of something that
you can barter with I mean I people people think that I'm a little bit weird maybe for
stocking up on firewood this last summer I put 20 cords up and I go through about four
cords a year so for me and I've never done this before,
but even the farmers who plow the fields around me
come up to me and they're like,
hey, what's going on with your wood?
Can I buy some from here or where'd you get it from?
And for me, it's a little bit of a hazard
because it's a visual presence.
I mean, you can tell when you got 20 cords on the ground,
that's a lot of space that's being used up.
But it's also something that I see as something I mean you can tell when you got 20 cords on the ground. It's that's a lot of space that's being used up, but
it's also something that I see as
something that I can use to get things from people and your ability to
do that because if other people burn wood and I got a cord that I can spare to get you through winter because guess what?
Nobody's accepting this form of currency or you know you can't get fuel for your chainsaws or
you know you can't even get up logging roads because the government shut everything down
for access or on private land or you know federal lands or whatever it might be.
It can get real hairy real quick and something as simple as just having staples on hand
makes a huge difference.
So I mean I can't emphasize enough
to make sure you keep your pantries topped off,
your freezers topped off,
your resources for heat and water topped off and ready.
I mean, it's the same survival prepping type stuff
that we do with all the time on all the other shows on PBN.
But when you're talking long-term,
at that point, you're making promises on paper that
are backed by your own blood and I remember back in the day my dad was like he he told
me one time to my face he's like you know what you don't ever write a check that your
body can't cash and I always took that to heart because that means that if I can't answer
to this promise that I'm given to someone else that is coming out of my skin,
whether it's through hard work or physically because I'm basically going to get chased
and beat down or lose a limb or get a broken knee or whatever as a result of it.
So there are some, there's a lot of possibility of darkness in that regard.
That said, we learned a lot during the depression that we have lost, but
there was a way for people to survive and through promise. And I've seen some of the
bookkeepers books from old general stores and stuff like that where people were paying
for food or just general store type items with livestock.
I've seen receipts for rings or jewelry for people who wanted to buy a wedding ring and
the promise that they made because they didn't have cash was a cow and the baby calf next
spring to the bank.
So it's not so dark that we can't find an alternative,
but the thing is, is there's gonna have to be
an agreeable alternative to cash.
And it's gonna have to happen quickly.
And people are gonna have to realize
that there is intrinsic value in
cores of firewood that's stacked up,
or fuel that you might have set aside,
or livestock that you might be raising, that kind of stuff.
Because those things do hold value. Chickens right now are gonna be phenomenal. So it raising, that kind of stuff, because those things do hold value.
Chickens right now are gonna be phenomenal.
So it's just that kind of stuff, that mentality,
what happens when everything collapses in the long term?
You have to be able to sustain long term,
and you have to have something that continually
can provide in some sort of a barter fashion,
not just what you can throw in your closet or under your bed.
Which is, and it's a repeated topic that we hear all the time
like when we go to prepper camp
in saluted North Carolina, right?
Every year in September we go there
and we hear somebody talk about prepping.
And one of the things that comes up about prepping
is these trading and bartering things.
Like you want things that are practical and multipurpose.
Chickens, like we talked about the last time,
the last episode, chickens are great
because you can eat the meat,
the leg, the eggs, there's so many purposes,
so many things you can do with just the eggs alone.
And they reproduce and they create more food and more food.
Same thing with goats and cattle.
The hides are useful, they're good for meat,
they produce milk and you can do all kinds of things
with the milk, right?
Multipurpose items, bullets, same thing. You can shoot a bullet, right? You can
take the bullet apart, you can use the contents of the bullet, the gunpowder
part, portion of it, to make other flammable things to make, to start fires.
These are things, alcohol, you can drink alcohol, you know, you can you can
sterilize wounds with alcohol, you can start fires with alcohol. Multi-purpose
things that are very useful
in times of Great Depression, in times of survival.
Because we're talking about, we're not talking about,
what we're talking about if there's a true economic collapse,
it's gonna be much worse than what happened
during the Great Depression.
And people need to understand that we cannot rely
on the government that's been lying to us
to come through for us and to sustain us.
If there's no system in place, which there will be, I've read the back of the book,
because you know I'm a very religious person, I've read the back of the book
and I know it's going to come through, it's going to happen.
The digital currency system is going to happen.
And there's 4,400 words in the United States Constitution.
And what do we know about martial law? All we know about martial law is that it says,
the Congress shall have the power to provide for the calling forth of militia,
to execute the laws of the Union, suppress instruction, and to repel invasion.
That's the whole context. That's everything we know about the, about the, about, about,
about martial law, right? So when this comes to us, there, because there's so little definition and so little historical record on martial law,
that gives the government a huge swath of a huge brush,
you know, a blanket if you will, to do and interpret the Constitution to mean whatever it means.
And here's something else more frightening, right? And you said, I think you did, you said in one of my martial law classes before,
whenever martial law happens, you can't expect the courts to come in and help you, because
once martial law goes out there, we're talking about military tribunals.
So once military tribunals are in effect, the constitutional system that we know as
courts will not be in effect, because when that happens, during true martial law, there
is no court system set up in effect because the tribunal system, the military system is in effect.
So there's not going to be a Supreme Court there to back you up.
There's not going to be, well, I'm going to have to plead Duncan versus whatever in this
case.
It's not going to happen that way.
So basically whoever's there on the scene will be the judge, jury, and executioner
for the military tribunal.
And anybody that's ever,
if you've never been in the military before
and you don't understand how difficult it is
in military life, you will find out
because the punishment is very, very steep
whenever you do something wrong.
And God forbid you're accused of being a rebel
or an insurrectionist in such times.
Yep, absolutely. You know, that's just it. I mean, we're getting to that point where it's like,
people need to start considering what happens after the bomb drops, you know. Not the physical
bomb, but whatever the impact might be. You know, what's the next stage and where, how do you get out in front of it?
Yeah, I just, it can be dark and dismal, but there also is, there's always light at the end because,
and you know, from the biblical standpoint, if you want to quote passages within the Bible,
there's all sorts of examples on the importance of putting up for the future, for the unknown,
for the hazards, watching out for things,
looking at signs, paying attention,
and we can all do that.
Yeah, the Bible says consider the ant.
So you're like, what's that, what's that even mean?
Well, just all you gotta do is consider the ant.
Look at the ants and how they, you know,
they take care, they work.
They're always working.
They're always putting up for themselves.
And so you see the big old lines of ants.
What are they doing?
Well, they're going out, they're collecting,
and they're going back to their storing. And they eat, and big old lines of ants, what are they doing? Where they're going out, they're collecting, and they're going back to their storing.
And they eat, and they survive.
And it's not like one winter kills them off, guess what?
They're going to be back next year
because they worked all summer long,
they worked hard, they put it back, they saved up,
and then they're good.
And that's where we need to be,
not only as an individual, but as a nation as a whole.
And if we've been sitting there relying
on winter stores
of gold for the last 80 years
that nobody actually can confirm,
we're gonna be going hungry financially in a hurry.
Well, there's the big executive order that Biden,
or not Biden, Obama wrote back in 2012.
This is executive order 13603 was written
to maintain a technological superiority
in its national defense equipment during,
the scary part is in the verbiage of the Executive Order
it says in peacetime and in times of national emergency.
And so the word national emergency is written four times
in that 10 page Executive Order
and it never wants to find actually
what a national emergency is. That basically means similar to what martial law is,
there's just a few words on it and there's no definition of what
martial law is. Just call forth the militia to suppress, insurrection to
repel invasions. So what is an emergency? Well an emergency could be anything that
the United States government deems it to be and that's why this is so important
this discussion about an economic collapse so important,
because once you've gone a few days,
and that's all it's gonna take is a few days,
where your money isn't worth anything to you,
we take a quarter or a dollar or a hundred dollar,
whatever to the store, if the store's even open,
which you've seen what's what happened in Ferguson,
you've seen what's what's happened in all these big cities
during the riots.
Yep. That small fry compared to what would happen,
the cities will burn first after just a couple days
if their dollar's not amounting to a kilo of beans.
People will kill.
Good people will do very bad things for money.
Inside of 24 hours you're gonna see people getting killed.
For their family, for food, yes.
Because after a day or two, as Americans,
people, three days without food,
I mean without water is all a person can do.
I don't know how many, I know human body could probably,
it'll be very difficult to stay in 30, 40 days without food.
You're dead after that.
And so people, even good people will do very awful things
to protect themselves, protect their family.
And so, that's in those kinds of times.
You can't rely on the government.
You can't rely on your neighbor.
You can't rely on anybody.
In fact, I would say don't trust anybody
in those kinds of situations.
You're gonna see some, first the cities are gonna burn,
you know, it'll be the first thing that's gonna happen.
I talk about this in Surviving Martial Law,
my book too in the Patriot series. The cities are going to be the first things to go down because
they'd never prepare. They're usually you know socialistic in nature
and they rely on their government to take care of them and once that system
is gone and the conservative system of self-reliance is what matters, they're
going to start burning and killing and doing whatever they have to do to survive
and then they're going to start and killing and doing whatever they have to do to survive.
And then they're gonna start, once they ran out
of resources in the cities, they're gonna start
spreading out to the rural areas, to those people like us
who know how to self sustain.
And they're gonna be coming for your chickens,
they're gonna be coming for the cattle.
I've already heard from my wife's friends,
oh I know what's gonna happen if things go south,
we're coming to your house and I'm just shaking my head
the whole time.
Exactly, you can't take care of them. if things go south, we're coming to your house and I'm just shaking my head the whole time. No you're not.
Exactly, you can't take care of them.
No, they are not part of my survival plan,
unfortunately, which is, it's sad
and I'm gonna have to turn people away
and I'm probably gonna upset my wife about that,
but the reality is they're not part of the equation.
So they're on their own.
They've known me long enough to be able to pick up what I've been throwing down
and they still haven't done it. There's nothing I can do about. I mean,
you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink, right?
They're not going to be drinking from this pond. Tell you that. So,
and I hate to do that, but I, there's going to be a point like,
not only are people going to change,
but they're gonna change
in ways that you don't realize within your own circle sometimes. And if you think that you're
gonna be, you know, your buddy buddy with some prepper, you're gonna go help, you know, harvest
at the end of harvest season and just get a free ride, that ain't happening. I mean, you might get
a little bit, but it ain't you know
It's just not going to happen. So if that is your plan good luck. That's why I'm so thankful You know, my wife is oh, she's she's big in horticulture, you know, she can she can grow she got green thumb
She can grow anything even a live off of vegetable exactly. There's proteins and certain vegetables, you know
I mean you can live pretty good and you know bringing in a squirrel or deer as a man here and there, you know
To supplement your your vegetarian diet with some proteins,
let's do it.
I need to get into chickens,
I've been talking about chickens for some time,
family bother me about chickens, we'll get chickens.
It's just, I haven't been able to sort those details out yet
and have the time to deal with it,
but it's something on my list of to-dos.
But something I wanna talk about real quick
is some precursors that might come to something like a martial law. Sometimes the government, well all the time to deal with it, but it's something on my list of to-dos. But something I wanna talk about real quick is some precursors that might come to something
like a martial law.
Sometimes the government, well all the time,
the government will know what's coming down the pike
way before we are, we will.
We can see it coming, but we see things
like almost, we can foreshadow things.
Because we understand how just kind of looking at,
with our sensors, we can call it the sixth sense,
our spider sense, whatever you wanna call it.
I've been really good at determining and I wrote the tyrant series based
off of things I saw was happening with our government and a lot of those things came to
pass with the whole COVID-19 thing when in the manipulation of viruses and the killing off with
the depopulation all that is it's all set it's all it's going to happen the population is going to
happen because we can't sustain
the way we are right now.
But the government knows before we do.
A matter of fact, when these things,
when you start seeing precursors,
they know this is gonna happen.
And so they start setting things like curfews,
travel restrictions, they start rationing food,
they start setting up checkpoints,
they start censoring more,
you start seeing excessive military presence,
you start seeing rapid inflation because they're trying to pull money back and try to put for themselves or to enter
rationale later. So you see rapid inflation, unusual government purchases like what we
saw a few years ago with the Obama administration, we had buying up all the ammunition, I think
that was under Obama, increased regulation, those kinds of things. When you see those
things happening
in bulk like that, just know that something sinister
is about to go down, it's about to happen.
And the only way to survive things like that
is to first of all be aware that it's coming
and to know how to survive when it does happen.
Yeah, it's just like seeing a storm in the distance.
Oh yeah, exactly, here it comes.
Buckle up the hatches.
Yep, exactly. And the thing is, you get through that enough yeah, exactly, here it comes. Buckle up the hatches. Yep, exactly.
And the thing is, you get through that enough times,
you get complacent sometimes.
And you think, oh, I'm okay, it'll be all right.
I forgot to close the door this one time,
or didn't close the chicken coop,
or didn't do this one thing that I do to maintain
and keeps the place secure and safe.
And I think, as a nation, we have to be very careful
that we don't get complacent.
Right, and people do get complacent.
You know, and they really don't know
what the left hand is doing.
They're just kind of watching the right hand
because it's full of pleasantries.
Well, we're being taken care of, you know,
but behind the curtain, or behind the back, so to speak,
the left hand is doing something quite different.
But they're unaware of it because they can't see it
out of sight, out of mind, right?
It's like all of these executive orders that happen.
I'm gonna go through some executive orders that,
and you heard these in my Surviving Martial Law class,
but there's a few executive orders
that were written in the past,
most of them by John F. Kennedy when he was president.
And then Clinton wrote a big one, and then Obama,
the one with the, I just shared with you with Obama,
Executive Order 13603 came out,
which kind of took all these,
all these executive orders I'm about to read to you
are swallowed up whole by this one executive order
that Obama wrote.
And so for the listeners, Executive Order,
this was written by John F. Kennedy in 1962,
Executive Order 10997, that in times of emergency again
The emergency is never clarified in any executive order
That the government could take power seize control of electric
electric all electric power petroleum gas solid fuels and minerals
executive order 10998 the government could take control of food resources farms fertilizers and facilities
executive order 10995 the government take control of food resources, farms, fertilizers, and facilities. Executive order 10995, the government could take control
of telecommunications management.
Executive order 10999, the government takes control
of transportation, the production
and distribution of materials.
Executive order 11000, manpower management.
You, anybody that don't know what manpower management is,
it's basically workforces that the government can create workforces
So use your imagination to decide what a workforce is because the executive order doesn't clarify that exactly
Executive order 1 1 0 0 3 the government takes control of all air travel airports operating facilities executive order 11,004
housing and communication or or I'm sorry
community facilities. Now Richard Nixon wrote one in 1969, federal departments and
agencies control all US citizens churches and businesses. That's a big one.
Like these to my knowledge these executive orders haven't been overwritten.
The great thing about executive orders is a president, any president can come in
and undo an executive order because executive orders are not legislation.
Right.
They're not designed to be,
they're unconstitutional really.
Executive orders are basically for the president to say,
here's how my cabinet's gonna operate.
So FEMA, the IRS, the Justice Department,
these are not branch of the United States government,
these are departments, these are agencies.
And they answer to the president of the United States. So he writes an executive order and tells these departments, these are not branches of the United States government, these are departments, these are agencies, and they answer
to the President of the United States.
So he writes an executive order
and tells these departments, these agencies,
this is how my administration's gonna run,
and they fulfill it.
But when Obama wrote this executive order 13603,
called the National Defense Resources Act,
basically it seizes all water, all human and animal food,
all transportation, all energy, all construction materials animal food, all transportation, all energy,
all construction materials, all health resources, all farming equipment, all fertilizers, all
fuels, on and on and on.
Everything I just read to you is encapsulated within this one executive order, but no president
since, not Biden, not Trump to my knowledge, has undone this.
So if any president can, with an executive order, override another executive order, it's not as complicated as congressional legislation
where you have to get everybody to agree,
the House has to write a bill, approve it in the House,
and then it goes to Senate for approval.
They all have to agree and approve it,
then it goes up to the executive office
and he signs off on it and makes it a bill.
That's how legislation truly works with executive order.
It doesn't work that way.
He says, this is how I'm gonna do things.
And he has all these departments and agencies
that answer to him and only to the president,
regulate the people this way.
And it's a way to bypass legislation.
And when you think about what could happen
during true martial law,
because there's no legislation being created
or executive orders written to override this,
you have a very scary situation
where one person can become not only the commander in chief
but judge, jury, and executioner.
Yeah.
And I mean, I will give Trump praise
for having done as much as he has done even in his previous term
and the first two months here, but you also there's a part of me that is also kind of
like dude if this becomes too much of a drug where he can't handle it and other stuff starts
happening we could very well see the Vladimir Putin,
not Vladimir Putin, the Vladimir Zelensky,
whatever his name is, activities happening,
and all of a sudden, you know,
we're dealing with a monster that we cannot,
like we can't escape from,
because, and I think really what it's gonna boil down to
is if we ever hear those key words what is it national a national what is it in the in
that executive order?
Emergency?
National emergency yeah so if you ever hear their keywords you know or somebody
to somebody from the presidential press office or Trump doing going on TV to say we're currently
in a national emergency or we have declared a state of national emergency I think that's
basically the red flag warning to all of us just be ready because it's coming and people
who don't know what that means they're gonna wake up to it far too late. You know, when someone shows up to their doorstep
and takes their, you know, able-bodied sons and daughters
to go work or physically removes them from the home
because they're property of the government now
and they have no say in it.
I think that's gonna be a wake up call to a lot of people
when farmers are no longer able to use their own equipment
because of whatever reason, you know, or, you know, it gets confiscated and sold off
for the price of the metal.
Yes, I don't want people thinking that it can't happen.
So many people have these blinders on thinking that's just right wing conspiracy theory.
Folks this has been happening on a smaller scale
in Illinois and California and Washington state.
The government there controls so much of your life.
I mean, it's regulated down to what you can and can't drink.
You know, we see crazy, was it New,
I wanna say Newsome a few years ago
that wrote some crazy bill that you can only,
he got rid of the certain size of sodas
or something like that because I guess the calorie,
maybe he should relay some of that information
to Governor Pritzker over in Illinois
because he's so large that he,
I don't want some guy that weighs 400 pounds
telling me what my lifestyle should be like.
You don't even exercise,
you clearly don't care about your diet
and you're gonna tell me what's good for my body, go away.
Yeah, yeah and you know that whole concept of
who's the governor, who's in charge of this town
or this state or this county or whatever.
I mean it goes all the way up to the top
and I think when people realize that it can turn on a dime
because of a declaration of an emergency
or a state of things.
I think crisis would be the buzzword.
Yeah.
So it's, I think I would like to think
that people woke up enough from COVID
to where they won't let this happen again,
but I have a feeling it's going to happen again
and people are gonna buy into it just like before,
but it's gonna be under the guise of something else,
something either patriotic or I don't know what,
but it seems like we're heading down that path
and it's not a good one.
Yeah, and one side will be jubilant.
I don't wanna get one fuzzies about it.
Yeah, one side will be jubilant
and the other side will be highly upset.
I mean, it's gonna happen that way.
