Climate Change Did Not Burn SoCal, The Progressives Did

[00:00:01] Hey, where are you going?

[00:00:03] I gotta get home.

[00:00:04] America, it's time to come home.

[00:00:08] It's time to come home!

[00:00:09] By bringing common sense back into the nonsense.

[00:00:13] Welcome to Common Sense Coalition Talk Radio, where America comes home.

[00:00:21] Down this dirt road, you're gonna find determination and grit, opinions that matter, and a big ol' helping of good discernment.

[00:00:28] And now, the woman that wishes the DC occupiers would stop making her use her mom voice.

[00:00:34] Do not make me come down there.

[00:00:35] Here's your host, and the voice of common sense, Beth Ann.

[00:00:41] And I welcome you today to CSC Talk Radio.

[00:00:44] It's my honor, my privilege, and my pleasure to be here with you today.

[00:00:48] We're gonna go straight to the Lord in prayer, and then we'll get on with the show.

[00:00:53] For such a time with this, for such a time as this, most gracious Heavenly Father, once again we come to you.

[00:01:02] It amazes me as a body of believers across this nation and abroad, all come together at this hour,

[00:01:10] whatever hour that may be, wherever they are, to pray, to praise you, to come together,

[00:01:19] Father, acknowledge that we are children of God, the one and only God, Creator, Savior.

[00:01:33] Father, we do thank you for your love, your grace, and your mercy.

[00:01:37] And Father, we have a special request for those in California.

[00:01:42] I hope just one person lost my home, and I know how devastating it is.

[00:01:49] But whole communities are gone.

[00:01:55] Landmarks are gone.

[00:01:59] Father, lead them.

[00:02:02] Comfort them.

[00:02:05] Put your arms around them, Father, and let them know tomorrow's a better day.

[00:02:14] May they put their hope and trust in you, Father.

[00:02:19] Give them the strength they're gonna need to push forward.

[00:02:23] And the wisdom.

[00:02:26] My heart just breaks for them.

[00:02:31] There's lots of sin in this world.

[00:02:34] Lots of violence.

[00:02:38] And, Father, all the children that are missing, I think of them much worse than losing a home in a fire.

[00:02:47] They've lost their lives.

[00:02:50] Their freedom.

[00:02:52] They are enslaved.

[00:02:55] I pray, Father, we can find them and rescue them.

[00:03:03] And that they will come to know you.

[00:03:07] So, Father, as we go forward with the show today, I ask your blessing upon Melody and her business and how she reacts with her customers and her friends.

[00:03:22] Father, just bless her life.

[00:03:26] I pray for the protection of this nation, even though I know we do not deserve it.

[00:03:31] I pray for your hedge of protection around President Donald J.

[00:03:34] Trump and all those around him.

[00:03:40] But, Father, may we always go forth in love, knowing that you are still on your throne, regardless of the tragedies and the violence that we face.

[00:03:56] For such a time as this, I pray in Jesus' name.

[00:04:00] Amen.

[00:04:02] Today is National Law Enforcement Day.

[00:04:06] Rudy and I both know people very close to us that are in law enforcement.

[00:04:10] We wish them the very best, the happiest of day.

[00:04:13] I know it means nothing to them.

[00:04:14] They're just going ahead with their business as they always do.

[00:04:19] And as I was preparing the show today, there was a funeral going on with Jimmy Carter.

[00:04:24] We spoke earlier this week, so I won't dwell on this, about his life.

[00:04:32] People say he was a good and decent man.

[00:04:35] But what I remember is he was a man who compromised his faith.

[00:04:40] He compromised his faith and put politics first.

[00:04:48] Watered down the scriptures to fit the Democrat narrative, the globalist narrative.

[00:04:58] He was not able to share his faith as he should have because of these things.

[00:05:08] He kept it separate from his politics.

[00:05:10] You cannot keep your faith separate from your life.

[00:05:15] Moving on.

[00:05:16] As you heard in my prayer, I'm very concerned about all those who have lost their homes.

[00:05:22] It's devastating.

[00:05:23] It's just devastating.

[00:05:24] We have the same thing going on yet in North Carolina.

[00:05:27] Global warming did not scorch the earth in California, though.

[00:05:30] I want you to know that.

[00:05:32] The policies of the Democrats or Congress, because Republicans are in on it too, with the

[00:05:38] climate change radicals, they subsidize the scorched earth for Americans.

[00:05:44] The L.A.'s mayor, with a deer in the headlight look, refused to answer reporters' questions about

[00:05:50] about her scorched city.

[00:05:52] Not a word.

[00:05:53] Glassy-eyed, arrogant, stared forward, completely ignoring the questions.

[00:06:00] She could have said, hey, I've just landed from a really nice African vacation.

[00:06:05] I've been briefed and I'll make a statement later.

[00:06:08] But no, no, no, no.

[00:06:10] Not a word.

[00:06:11] She didn't even attempt to make eye contact.

[00:06:14] Well, she might be a brave LGBTQ, DEI wonder, but she's not a leader of people.

[00:06:23] She doesn't care a snip about those who she is supposed to govern.

[00:06:28] Remember this.

[00:06:29] Do not be confused or swayed by the rhetoric that's going to be coming out.

[00:06:34] It's climate change, climate change.

[00:06:35] This is a lack of governing, a lack of maintenance.

[00:06:39] And scorched earth, the hundreds of thousands of lost homes, schools, lives, is the product,

[00:06:47] is the result, not of climate change, but of climate change policies.

[00:06:54] The radical environmentalists of the Phony Endangered Species Act, for the fish they call smelt,

[00:07:02] they have smelted California.

[00:07:06] So good luck, Hollywood, the leftist wonders, getting those permits to rebuild,

[00:07:11] because that's going to be a little tough.

[00:07:13] Just when you thought all those left DEI policies wouldn't affect your lives,

[00:07:19] you're about to find out differently.

[00:07:20] I'm not happy about it.

[00:07:21] Don't get me wrong.

[00:07:22] I'm not trying to be, well, maybe I am trying to be a little curt about it.

[00:07:27] But thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of innocent people that didn't vote for those policies,

[00:07:33] don't believe in those policies, are also being, lives have been uprooted and changed.

[00:07:42] It's going to take a long road back for America, for California.

[00:07:47] But for America, we talk about violence.

[00:07:50] We talk about so many things that are going on.

[00:07:52] Our economy.

[00:07:57] We're laughing at some of the things that are being said right now.

[00:08:00] We're waiting for hostages to be released.

[00:08:03] But it's up to us folks to bring America home.

[00:08:06] And I pray it's not too late.

[00:08:08] And I pray that we have the backbone to get her done.

[00:08:11] And speaking of backbone, I just about ran us out of time here in the first segment.

[00:08:15] We are the two today.

[00:08:17] And Melody Cederstrom is with us.

[00:08:19] Melody, how are you doing today?

[00:08:20] I'm doing great.

[00:08:22] Thank you very much.

[00:08:23] Do you have any family in the state of California?

[00:08:26] No, but I have a lot of clients and people I do business with and so forth.

[00:08:33] It's bad.

[00:08:35] I mean, I'm looking at the pictures again this morning.

[00:08:38] It's just, I can't imagine.

[00:08:40] And it was the same like with North Carolina.

[00:08:42] Just complete communities just completely wiped away.

[00:08:47] Nothing left.

[00:08:48] Whether your home went down the river or your home went up in flames.

[00:08:53] There's just nothing left.

[00:08:54] And it's, it's going to be so hard for them to rebuild.

[00:08:59] To start over.

[00:09:03] But we got to make it happen.

[00:09:05] We got to make it happen.

[00:09:06] We got to say prayers for them.

[00:09:09] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:09:10] This is Beth Ann with Melody Cederstrom of Discount Gold and Silver Trading.

[00:09:15] We'll try and change up the topic a little bit.

[00:09:17] Get a little happier.

[00:09:18] Maybe.

[00:09:18] I don't know.

[00:09:19] There's a lot of things to be happy about.

[00:09:20] Some things that we just need to, we need to stay on top of.

[00:09:24] You're listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:09:26] We'll be right back.

[00:10:00] The American Crisis continues.

[00:10:02] The reviews are in.

[00:10:04] This is a book worth reading.

[00:10:06] A book that lays out both the fundamental issues and offers a solution.

[00:10:10] The American Crisis Continues informed me about the battle between good and evil.

[00:10:15] It inspired me to get involved in the author's quest to bring America home to God, family, and country.

[00:10:22] At a time in history when America is being attacked from within by those who have a secular socialist view of America,

[00:10:29] this book quenched my thirst for a perspective of the America I know and love.

[00:10:34] Learn about America's founding principles.

[00:10:36] How do the grievances in 1776 compare to us today?

[00:10:41] Knowledge is the key defense against the vicious enemy, tyranny.

[00:10:45] The American Crisis continues.

[00:11:02] Scripture warns us that there will be a day of judgment for our lives.

[00:11:05] Our works will be exposed by fire, which will reveal the foundation of our building.

[00:11:10] Figuratively speaking, have we been building with wood, hay, and stubble, which are perishable?

[00:11:14] Or have we been using gold, silver, and precious stones, which are permanent?

[00:11:18] In this life, there will be a day of judgment for our failing economic system.

[00:11:22] When the economy collapses, will your assets be in paper, which will burn?

[00:11:26] Or will you have a permanent foundation of gold and silver securing your assets?

[00:11:31] Fiat dollars are IOUs from the government, but gold and silver are the tangible assets that protect your wealth.

[00:11:38] Owning gold and silver is the permanent solution to a permanent problem in our economy, fiat dollars and debt.

[00:13:04] And we have returned to listening to CSE Talk Radio.

[00:13:07] This is Beth Ann with Melody Cedarstrom.

[00:13:09] Melody, we rushed through the first segment.

[00:13:11] How are you doing?

[00:13:12] I'm doing great, thanks.

[00:13:14] Thank you.

[00:13:14] We are real concerned about what's taking place there in the state of California.

[00:13:19] I'm certain you've watched a lot of that as well.

[00:13:22] You know, Mindy is from there, and she has family there.

[00:13:26] I need to get in touch with her today and see what part of the California they live in and if they're okay.

[00:13:32] She has a brother that's fighting cancer.

[00:13:36] And there's just so much going on.

[00:13:38] And yesterday, Melody, you know, government, it's so sweet to us, isn't it?

[00:13:44] But it's Buncombe, I guess, County in North Carolina.

[00:13:49] Did you read this?

[00:13:51] So there's going to be no permit.

[00:13:55] The North Carolina law regarding their property taxes says there's no permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including the Hurricane Helene.

[00:14:12] So they're expecting these poor people that have got nothing.

[00:14:16] Good grief, their cities are gone.

[00:14:18] Their banks are gone.

[00:14:19] They've got nothing.

[00:14:20] And they've got to fork over their property tax somehow, some way, which is probably more than the $750 that Kamala and Biden wanted to give them.

[00:14:28] Well, you think that they should be able to at least appeal to what they're being charged because there's no housing on it and so forth.

[00:14:36] It should lower the value quite a bit.

[00:14:38] They said they're going to adjust.

[00:14:40] I mean, it should at least be waived and, you know, at least for, you know, until construction or whatever.

[00:14:47] But, you know.

[00:14:48] It says here they're waived.

[00:14:49] It said in the article that they're going to waive it next year.

[00:14:53] But this year they have to pay what the worth was.

[00:14:55] It was needed.

[00:14:56] I know.

[00:14:57] I know.

[00:14:58] I'm with you.

[00:14:58] But I'm just telling you what they said.

[00:15:00] You know, at least prorate it from January to, you know, from when the storm happened or something, you know.

[00:15:06] Yeah.

[00:15:07] I mean, it's like, but you know what?

[00:15:09] You know, I'm thinking and I'm sitting here and I was reading some things.

[00:15:13] These are all signs.

[00:15:15] These are all signs.

[00:15:16] And I'm going to come back to it financially.

[00:15:18] Yes.

[00:15:18] The infrastructure, yes, it is leadership and, you know, but we got the leadership because this country is so deep in debt.

[00:15:28] We have a country.

[00:15:30] We have no leadership.

[00:15:32] We have, you know, it comes not just from the president's office, but it comes from Congress.

[00:15:41] It comes from the Senate.

[00:15:42] I mean, these are all symptoms of a country that truly is, there would be better leadership if there was morality more in this country.

[00:16:03] When you talked about that mayor, I mean, she, they knew these winds were coming.

[00:16:09] Now, you don't know the fires were coming, but you knew the winds were coming.

[00:16:17] And there was a state of emergency before she even left.

[00:16:23] And again, who are these people?

[00:16:28] And then when she's, I just watched her press conference for just a little bit because it disgusted me.

[00:16:33] So it was yesterday.

[00:16:35] Okay.

[00:16:36] And she started to, the first thing she started out with was trying to explain her absence.

[00:16:41] Lady, I really don't care about what your excuse is for your absence.

[00:16:46] What are you doing?

[00:16:52] You're sitting.

[00:16:54] But nothing.

[00:16:55] It was all excuses.

[00:16:56] The firemen are doing a great job.

[00:16:58] And, you know, it's all, it's all the accolades to all the management and so forth.

[00:17:02] Fine.

[00:17:02] Let the accolades come later.

[00:17:04] But what are you going to do now?

[00:17:05] And I'll tell you what, that's what I liked about DeSantis and Florida when those were coming through.

[00:17:12] He didn't give accolades.

[00:17:13] This is what we're going to do.

[00:17:15] This is what we have done.

[00:17:16] This is what we're trying to do.

[00:17:18] Yes, I agree.

[00:17:19] And that is leadership.

[00:17:21] I agree.

[00:17:23] And the infrastructure of this nation, and I agree with you, it is all of this global warming policies and so forth, the environmentalists and so forth.

[00:17:32] But it's also a sign of our infrastructure, how much it has decayed.

[00:17:39] Well, and, you know, when we have these disasters, whether it's the hurricane or this fire, we've built on all this, on this land where it is very vulnerable.

[00:17:53] So there is going to be more damage.

[00:17:56] There is going to be more devastation.

[00:18:00] And I'm not saying we shouldn't build there, but I'm saying we've got to expect it.

[00:18:04] She knew that this was coming.

[00:18:05] There was a fire warning.

[00:18:07] They said if it hits, we're in trouble.

[00:18:08] And look what it has taken out.

[00:18:11] But then they have the water problem.

[00:18:13] And I got this, and I haven't really read it much because I just got it before I went on the air.

[00:18:17] And it says the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials raked in an enormous taxpayer-funded paychecks before its fire hydrants ran dry in the fight against massive fires in the area.

[00:18:33] Eight of the top ten highest-paid city officials in Los Angeles work for the LADWP.

[00:18:41] They put it in acronyms here.

[00:18:43] According to Open the Books analysis, they've made huge.

[00:18:46] I mean, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars these guys get paid, and they didn't do their job.

[00:18:53] I don't know how much that mayor gets paid, but she didn't do her job.

[00:18:59] And, you know, when we talk about the government, it's the local.

[00:19:02] That's the local government there in that county in North Carolina that's, you know, I don't know where their homes are, but apparently they're doing okay.

[00:19:10] And they're going to demand this for these poor people.

[00:19:13] They can't even find their paychecks, probably.

[00:19:15] I mean, they're check stubs or they're checkbooks.

[00:19:19] It's just unbelievable.

[00:19:24] And then I have just article after article, Melody, where these people in Congress, these people in these local, they're greedy.

[00:19:33] They don't take their jobs seriously.

[00:19:36] They take their money seriously.

[00:19:37] And I had this article yesterday, so I won't go through it all again.

[00:19:40] You might have seen it.

[00:19:41] It's talking about Nancy Pelosi's portfolio, how much it increased.

[00:19:46] But yet she wasn't the top dog this time.

[00:19:48] Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

[00:19:50] And it wasn't all Democrats either.

[00:19:52] Republican Representative David Rauser from North Carolina.

[00:19:56] There was, I mean, just one after the other.

[00:19:59] And they, Susan Collins was one.

[00:20:02] They increased their net worth tremendously.

[00:20:05] We're not talking about a little bit.

[00:20:06] We're talking about a lot.

[00:20:09] And then people can't make ends meet.

[00:20:13] The sad thing is, it's been going on for a long time.

[00:20:15] Oh, yeah.

[00:20:16] It didn't just happen.

[00:20:17] You know, I mean, it was always a joke.

[00:20:20] Oh, yeah, they go in there.

[00:20:21] They go in poor, come out wealthy.

[00:20:23] It's not funny anymore.

[00:20:24] All of this inside trading and all the slush funds they have.

[00:20:27] You know, does it take this type of a disaster to bring this to the forefront?

[00:20:35] So it's brought to the forefront, but what's going to happen?

[00:20:39] I mean, I lived in Arizona, and every year, you know, every time there was a forest fire or whatever,

[00:20:44] it was always about, oh, well, you've got to clean the forest, the ground, and all that.

[00:20:49] That's been going on for 30, 40 years.

[00:20:52] Yeah, they're not doing it.

[00:20:54] They're not cleaning it.

[00:20:56] No.

[00:20:57] That's the problem.

[00:20:58] You know, I mean, there are some degree of what you can do for controlled burns.

[00:21:05] I mean, sometimes the controlled burns can, you know, they used to do a lot of them in Southern California over those lands.

[00:21:13] But then they quit doing it.

[00:21:14] And so forth when the San Andreas would come through and whatnot.

[00:21:18] But, you know, I don't know if they, you know, what the degree of controlled burns are anymore.

[00:21:23] Well, then we can look at, we don't know what caused this,

[00:21:26] but they said a lot of these fires do get caused by the homeless trying to stay warm, and they light fires.

[00:21:32] And that's another issue.

[00:21:33] Go ahead.

[00:21:34] What started the fires?

[00:21:35] They don't know yet, or they're not saying yet.

[00:21:38] Yeah.

[00:21:38] But that is the one that keeps coming up is the homeless.

[00:21:42] And then I wonder how many of them died in it that we'll never know about.

[00:21:47] That's very true.

[00:21:49] You know, it's all bad policies all the way around.

[00:21:52] We shouldn't have that many homeless.

[00:21:55] Absolutely not.

[00:21:56] We pay how much money out for these bureaucrats to take care of the land.

[00:22:00] I mean, it's in government hands because they need to preserve it.

[00:22:04] Well, they've done a pretty bad job of preserving it.

[00:22:07] And now people have lost their lives, their homes, everything.

[00:22:12] And, you know, I kind of made fun of Hollywood in my monologue.

[00:22:16] But it's not just them.

[00:22:17] Everybody.

[00:22:18] I mean, everybody's lost things.

[00:22:21] They've lost – I've never – I've only been through California.

[00:22:26] I've never been to California.

[00:22:28] And it's –

[00:22:29] Well, it's going to be interesting to see how the economy – because when you look at California, it was what?

[00:22:35] The third largest economy on the planet?

[00:22:40] Yeah.

[00:22:40] I mean, it's right up there.

[00:22:42] And you're talking L.A.

[00:22:43] We haven't heard anything about the flights, where the flights canceled going into.

[00:22:48] L.A.X.?

[00:22:48] They had to have been.

[00:22:50] You'd think.

[00:22:51] They had to have been.

[00:22:52] They couldn't get helicopters up to drop the bags of water.

[00:22:55] Of course, they couldn't get the bags of water anyway.

[00:22:57] I mean, there's no way they could fight that.

[00:22:59] So, you know, the thing of it is – so we're not really hearing about the true economic loss.

[00:23:05] Not yet.

[00:23:06] Not yet.

[00:23:07] Not just to California, but to the rest of the country.

[00:23:09] Everywhere.

[00:23:09] Yeah, because it affects us all.

[00:23:11] All of us.

[00:23:11] Even North Carolina.

[00:23:12] All of us.

[00:23:12] North Carolina lost a – which I kind of laughed about, but, you know, I've got family that's going through some things, and they have to have the saline treatments.

[00:23:23] And there's a shortage on saline because of what happened in North Carolina.

[00:23:27] I'm kind of looking.

[00:23:27] We can make saline in the kitchen.

[00:23:31] But it's just devastating everywhere.

[00:23:33] And I want to talk about – I want to talk about how these government officials – just one more time – how they make money when we come back.

[00:23:41] Because we're all looking forward to RFK, and Congress is against him.

[00:23:46] We'll be right back.

[00:24:26] We'll be right back.

[00:24:42] We'll be right back.

[00:25:24] We'll be right back.

[00:25:45] We'll be right back.

[00:26:17] We'll be right back.

[00:26:20] We'll be right back.

[00:27:02] We'll be right back.

[00:27:31] We'll be right back.

[00:27:34] We'll be right back.

[00:28:13] We'll be right back.

[00:28:16] We'll be right back.

[00:28:23] We'll be right back.

[00:28:31] We'll be right back.

[00:28:40] We'll be right back.

[00:28:48] We'll be right back.

[00:28:56] We'll be right back.

[00:29:13] We'll be right back.

[00:29:20] We'll be right back.

[00:29:26] We'll be right back.

[00:29:32] We'll be right back.

[00:29:37] We'll be right back.

[00:29:39] We'll be right back.

[00:30:02] We'll be right back.

[00:30:10] We'll be right back.

[00:30:17] We'll be right back.

[00:30:22] We'll be right back.

[00:30:58] We'll be right back.

[00:30:59] out, I believe, especially in the presidency, they're appointed. The way the media adjusts

[00:31:17] things to push in any one certain direction. You don't hear anybody talking, you hear about

[00:31:27] big pharma and everything, but you don't hear any concerns about the billionaire.

[00:31:33] The country is no longer run by Congress, the Senate, or the President. It is run by multinational

[00:31:44] corporations. And I think we're just really seeing it right now. Now, do they have a, do

[00:31:51] they have a, certainly this does not, California's fire does not, isn't going to help them. They

[00:32:04] might want to see this nation perform better and be better for their personal interests

[00:32:09] and so forth. I don't know. I mean, I'm, it's so crazy. Because again, so much of it just

[00:32:19] seems so insane. I mean, the fires in California, we never, things like this didn't happen to

[00:32:29] us. Of course you had Chicago burned down.

[00:32:34] Yeah. That's been a while.

[00:32:36] It's been a while. So I don't know.

[00:32:40] Well, San Francisco burned one time, didn't it? That was a long time ago. That once, or

[00:32:44] maybe I'm thinking of Chicago when they kicked, when the mule kicked, blamed it on a mule or

[00:32:49] something.

[00:32:50] Yeah. But I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I stick to my fundamentals and my basics.

[00:32:58] We're in debt. We've got debt too great to be paid. Our infrastructures in this country,

[00:33:04] everything that we're seeing, the decline, the housing, look at these houses that are being

[00:33:09] built. Yeah, they're being built, you know, to a day, but look at the quality.

[00:33:15] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:33:16] You know, you can huff and puff and blow one down, you know, unless you're a mulch. So I've

[00:33:26] been talking about, there hasn't been any affordable housing in this country for 20, 30

[00:33:33] years. I've been talking about it for that long.

[00:33:38] When you were saying we're not, we're not being run the way we're supposed to. We both

[00:33:43] know that. And corporations are having way too much influence on Congress and on our

[00:33:49] Too much money from the government, from the taxpayers.

[00:33:51] Absolutely. So this, I did share this yesterday on air, and this is just proof. And it's like,

[00:33:59] okay, I get this, but this shouldn't be necessary. Senator Mike Lee has, is putting out a new bill

[00:34:09] or an act. It's called the RAINS Act. And it's to, the act would require that any major rule

[00:34:17] proposed by executive agencies, the bureaucrats, those costing over $100 million annually, would

[00:34:23] have to be approved by Congress. In other words, they're talking about how the bureaucrats are making

[00:34:27] the laws instead of our lawmakers making the laws. In fact, I think we could just take a few

[00:34:32] laws off the books. But it's like, why do you need this? Because constitutionally, the

[00:34:38] bureaucrats can't make the laws. They're only getting away with it because they're letting

[00:34:43] them get away with it. So he acts like he's doing something great and mass. He's right

[00:34:47] with him.

[00:34:49] And I'm thinking, why even $100 million? Why don't we start with $5? Just $5? $2?

[00:34:56] Why don't we start with $0?

[00:34:58] There you go.

[00:34:59] And you know what the funny thing about it is? Now Elon Musk comes out and says, I know the

[00:35:05] proper way they say it, but I call it the dogey.

[00:35:09] You can't do $2 trillion cuts. It might only be a trillion. Hello, buddy. I've been saying

[00:35:16] that since you came out. It's not even going to be a trillion dollars.

[00:35:20] He's listening to you, Melody.

[00:35:22] Yeah, I'm sure they are.

[00:35:25] I swear they are. I swear they listen to us. I'll tell you what, when I listen to the news

[00:35:30] and maybe we're just not as original as I think we are, they'll say something that you and

[00:35:35] I said, Mindy, or I said in the afternoon, I mean in the morning here and next thing

[00:35:40] you know by evening, somebody has said something and if Rudy and I are watching the same news,

[00:35:44] he'll text me. Did you hear that?

[00:35:47] I think that too. I think that. I was like, oh, I said that earlier today.

[00:35:52] I'm so good. Pat myself on the back.

[00:35:58] I'm sure they do.

[00:36:04] They have lots of people.

[00:36:25] They do.

[00:36:26] And if I was Vivek, and I don't think they can control that, but if it was me, Vivek and

[00:36:33] Musk, I would tell Congress, all these congressmen, senators and representatives, you can have

[00:36:39] two staffers. That's it. You don't need any more than two. Somebody else is writing these

[00:36:48] laws. Somebody else is writing these bills. Our Congress people, all they're doing is

[00:36:52] they get in there and they get their insider trading and they get rich and they, and they,

[00:36:58] the minute they're elected, they start campaigning for the next one.

[00:37:01] They're not going to cut our debt. They can't.

[00:37:03] No.

[00:37:03] Let's pay off all the people in D.C. Okay, how's that going to help the economy?

[00:37:07] Well, we wouldn't have to pay them.

[00:37:09] They're going to do it. They can't.

[00:37:10] We don't have to pay them, Melody. That's a whole lot of money.

[00:37:14] Well, let's talk about that because we have, we have gone on and on. Let's, let's talk about

[00:37:19] that when we come back. You're listening to CSE Talk Radio. This is Beth Ann with Melody

[00:37:23] Sederstrom. We are the two. We're a lot more friendly than those other gals and we'll be

[00:42:04] And we have returned to listening to the CESC Talk Radio. This is Bethann with Melody Sederstrom

[00:42:08] of Discount Gold and Silver Trading. We're going to calm it down. We've talked about a little bit

[00:42:12] of everything, but it all comes down to the economy. It all comes down to this debt,

[00:42:19] and it all comes down to, you know, they're getting rich and they're collapsing this country.

[00:42:26] The decisions and the policies they make, whether we're talking about climate change or

[00:42:30] whatever else it could be, they're just destroying this nation. But it's the economic destruction

[00:42:38] of this country that's going to be devastating.

[00:42:42] And anyway, we were talking a little bit about that when we went into the break. So I want to continue

[00:42:49] with that and talk about gold and silver and talk about how we can secure what we do have.

[00:42:54] Go ahead, Melody.

[00:42:56] Yeah, I mean, regardless, you know, we all look for a positive outcome. We all do. And, you know,

[00:43:04] we do hope that things can become better. I'm not quite sure when we say anymore to become better

[00:43:11] what that really means. Better in how, better in what way, better in, you know, where has this

[00:43:17] nation, our country, where has it been and where are we going? I think we are going into a brand new

[00:43:26] world. I do believe we're still heading down that path of a new world order, you know, one monetary

[00:43:33] policy, etc., etc., etc., etc. I don't know how it changes. I don't see any difference. Sure, we're

[00:43:44] getting our borders and, you know, some of those things will be addressed and whatnot. But this

[00:43:50] country still has debt too great to be paid. And the taxpayers are going to continue to pay

[00:43:58] out the nose. Our taxes are going to grow. They're not going to go away. They're going to get bigger

[00:44:04] and bigger. And so it's going to be harder and harder for your dollars that you make to purchase

[00:44:14] the same thing today. We know what inflation is today. What do you think it's going to be a couple

[00:44:20] years from now? I mean, that's where we have to start thinking. How are you going to protect

[00:44:27] yourself a couple years from now? I believe we're going to have, you know, in 2016, Beth,

[00:44:35] you say this, you tell your listeners when I'm on your program all the time that I said

[00:44:39] there's going to be chaos. Maybe you haven't seen anything yet. No. You know, and it's not

[00:44:45] going to be good chaos. You'll find out what people really are. That's for sure.

[00:44:52] Absolutely. Absolutely. I agree with you. And the horror from California, is that the first,

[00:45:05] I mean, I hate to call it a domino, but I think the, and no one is talking, the impact that this

[00:45:16] is going to have. Someone that follows us here on Facebook just said, just think about lumber.

[00:45:22] Lumber's going to go back. We're going to go higher yet.

[00:45:25] And look where we get all our, look where we get a lot of our building lumber from Canada.

[00:45:30] Yeah. Hey, let's get some tariffs on Canada. Let's make that even more expensive. We did that

[00:45:36] during COVID. You know, we saw where the prices because of the shortages and so forth. So yeah,

[00:45:44] it's, it's going to be a very difficult. And so you can only protect yourself, protect your savings,

[00:45:52] protect your retirement accounts, protect your, you know, social security, protect what you can,

[00:45:58] your savings. And to me, and I've been saying this for a long time, because I do believe it,

[00:46:04] gold is really the safest way to protect your purchasing power at this point in time. And

[00:46:11] it always has, because it's real. It's never going to go to zero. And it has protected your purchasing

[00:46:18] power over the years. Sure. You can't complain that dollar to dollar with, you know, with,

[00:46:23] with wall street and so forth, but let's go back a hundred years. And again, those gold pieces buy

[00:46:31] you the same thing today as it did a hundred years ago, the old $20 gold pieces. You could buy a $20

[00:46:38] suit with a gold piece. You can do that today. So it has protected the purchasing power and they're

[00:46:46] going to have to print so much more money for California. Um, there's no inflation adjustments

[00:46:55] to the lower side coming our way. Wow. We've, you know, sure there was, um, you have the Saudis

[00:47:02] that committed $80 billion to build more data storage facilities. Nobody's talking about that.

[00:47:09] That that's going to put more, more strain on our already poor infrastructure, electric

[00:47:19] interest. I mean, we've got a lot of things coming our way. So protect yourself. That's all we can do

[00:47:26] is protect yourself. I want to give that number. It's beyond our control. 800-375-4188.

[00:47:33] That's 1-800-375-4188. And visit our website, dgscoins.com. That's dgscoins.com. Um, gold and

[00:47:44] silver, that's the way to protect what you've got. And, and, uh, you, you usually say 80, 20. Is that

[00:47:51] what you usually say? Yeah. As long as silver holds this level, it's now approaching $31 right now.

[00:47:57] Silver, uh, silver's 31. Gold is, uh, 2690. So it's approaching that 2700 level. I think these are the lows.

[00:48:06] They certainly could have been tested along the way and they found their, their resistance

[00:48:12] level. And I think these are the lows that we're going to see. You know, there's, um,

[00:48:18] there's more and more talk. China's again, buying up more gold and so forth. They know where it's at.

[00:48:22] They're no dummies. No, they're not.

[00:48:26] They may be evil, but they're not dumb. No, no, they're not. They might be communists,

[00:48:31] but they're not dumb. So. They know how to go get stuff. That's for sure. Yeah, they do.

[00:48:38] And, uh, so 1-800-375-4188. Uh, give us a call. Just give her a call and have a little chit

[00:48:45] chat. She'll chit chat with you very, just like she does here. So that's 1-800-375-4188. Dgscoins.com.

[00:48:54] She also has a newsletter there that, uh, is very informative. Um, you can read that

[00:48:59] and, uh, watch her, or watch her, listen to her other shows. Uh, dgscoins.com.

[00:49:06] Thank you.

[00:49:07] Did you have a good New Year's?

[00:49:08] I did.

[00:49:10] Good.

[00:49:10] I think 2025 is going to be a good year.

[00:49:14] It's going to be an interesting year, but a good year.

[00:49:16] It's going to, I think you're right. I think, well, I'm a little concerned.

[00:49:20] It's starting out pretty bad, but.

[00:49:21] Let's get through January.

[00:49:23] Let's get through January.

[00:49:25] Because I'm a little concerned about what's going to build up. The Democrats are too quiet.

[00:49:29] I'm a little concerned about what they're working on and what they're building up,

[00:49:32] and I'm afraid there's going to be another attack, another attack, and more attacks.

[00:49:36] So let's get through January and see what happens.

[00:49:39] See what happens. I agree.

[00:49:40] I think it can be a very good year, and, um, I agree with you 100% on that.

[00:49:45] And, uh, it's nice to end on a positive like that,

[00:49:47] because we know there's been a lot so far that's not been good,

[00:49:51] but we're going to look up.

[00:49:52] Sometimes you've got to get it in the bottom before you can look up.

[00:49:55] Absolutely.

[00:49:55] Melody, thank you for all that you do.

[00:49:57] Appreciate it so much.

[00:49:58] And, uh, let's have a happy 2025.

[00:51:50] Do we weep for liberty which we have lost?

[00:51:52] Or do we simply not understand the substance and sacrifice for which we were once privileged?

[00:51:58] Liberty.

[00:51:59] Webster defines liberty as the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's life, behavior, or political views.

[00:52:09] Today we seem to want restrictions.

[00:52:11] Government micromanaging our lives?

[00:52:14] But do we realize the cost?

[00:52:17] Alexander Hamilton once stated,

[00:52:19] There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty that makes human nature rise above itself in acts of bravery and heroism.

[00:52:26] As a republic, we the people must guard the liberty of others.

[00:52:30] We must continue the enthusiasm that will make men free.

[00:52:41] as she brings America home.

[00:52:46] Friends, I want to talk to you very frankly about the increasing civil unrest we're seeing these days.
