Radio Show Hour 1 – 11/14/2024

[00:00:15] The Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.

[00:00:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:24] All right.

[00:00:25] Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans.

[00:00:27] Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:29] Hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use no doubt starts now.

[00:00:33] This, my fellow Americans, is the broadcast for, what, it's already November the 14th?

[00:00:39] Yeah, in the year of our Lord, 2024.

[00:00:41] 2024.

[00:00:42] This is Hour 1 of 2, and the goal always is to protect life, liberty, and property,

[00:00:46] to promote God, family, and country through so on your radio and the traditions of our founding fathers.

[00:00:50] Yes, indeed, we use the supreme law of the land, the Constitution for the United States of America.

[00:00:55] That is our guide.

[00:00:56] We reject revolution unless it's Jesus' revolution.

[00:00:58] Then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:01:01] Welcome to the broadcast.

[00:01:02] Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.

[00:01:04] Couple of great guests coming up here in a little bit.

[00:01:06] But first, oh boy, ladies and gentlemen, Infowars getting shut down now.

[00:01:14] Here's Alex Jones with a quick update from just a couple of minutes ago.

[00:01:18] Ladies and gentlemen, it is 7.50 right now.

[00:01:22] I'm about to upload this to X.

[00:01:23] I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning,

[00:01:30] and they said they're shutting us down even without a court order.

[00:01:33] This morning, the Connecticut Democrats with the Onion newspaper bought us.

[00:01:40] They asked, do they outbid?

[00:01:41] They said, well, it was competitive.

[00:01:42] So they changed all the bidding rules, made it secret two days ago.

[00:01:45] I had a bad feeling.

[00:01:45] I told you that.

[00:01:46] And just like they tried to shut us down back in late May without a court order,

[00:01:50] they're supposed to have a court order.

[00:01:51] There's going to be injunctions filed.

[00:01:53] I'm about to go live out of Harrison's American Journal studio.

[00:01:56] I don't know what's going to happen,

[00:01:58] but I'm going to be here until they come in here and turn the lights off.

[00:02:00] I'm going to say, where's your court order?

[00:02:02] So this is all going down right now.

[00:02:04] They want to silence the American people, but we're not going to be silenced.

[00:02:07] Be sure and follow me at the Alex Jones Network at AJN Live on X right now.

[00:02:12] They're filing court to take real Alex Jones away.

[00:02:14] That's totally unconstitutional.

[00:02:15] The judge already said no, so they filed in other courts.

[00:02:18] So live feed going up.

[00:02:19] By the time you see this at AJN Live and at real Alex Jones right now,

[00:02:24] share this everywhere.

[00:02:24] This is a total attack on free speech.

[00:02:26] The deep state is completely out of control.

[00:02:28] The private security hasn't even been told all this yet.

[00:02:31] They tried to tell them last time the other U.S. trustee

[00:02:33] to shut us down with a court order.

[00:02:34] You know, these folks said no.

[00:02:36] So this is all happening right now.

[00:02:39] This is the tyranny of the new world order,

[00:02:41] desperate to silence the American people.

[00:02:43] The mandate of Trump against all the lawfare.

[00:02:45] They don't care.

[00:02:46] So the system still thinks it's in charge.

[00:02:48] I'm going live right now for what probably will be the last transmission from this building.

[00:02:52] God bless you all for your support.

[00:02:54] Please support our sponsors so we get funds to stay on the air at the Alex Jones Network,

[00:02:57] the AlexJonesStore.com.

[00:02:58] Take action.

[00:02:59] I need your support.

[00:03:00] Infowars is really the detonator for this whole global movement that's happening.

[00:03:03] Your support did that.

[00:03:04] You're the reason it's happening.

[00:03:05] You are the resistance.

[00:03:06] God bless and good luck.

[00:03:09] Wow, ladies and gentlemen, it's going on.

[00:03:12] A lot of conservative groups are going to bid for Alex Jones's assets.

[00:03:15] Obviously, there was inside trading according to Alex Jones that says, hey, it's all been done in secret.

[00:03:20] They're playing games big time.

[00:03:22] I don't have the facts on this because I'm not an insider and privy to this.

[00:03:27] But Alex Jones says Infowars is being shut down now.

[00:03:31] And if you go to all news sites, check out, just type in Infowars.

[00:03:36] It's at the top of the news everywhere.

[00:03:38] The Onion, as you know, that's basically a, I don't know what you want to call it, a fake news site.

[00:03:44] They have all kinds of, you know, stories that are funny and, you know, just clown show stuff.

[00:03:50] The Onion acquires the assets of Alex Jones Infowars and bankruptcy option or auction.

[00:03:58] I'm sorry, auction.

[00:03:59] The purchase acquires the company's assets, including the intellectual property, including its website, customer lists, and inventory,

[00:04:12] as well as certain social media accounts, as well as the equipment used to put Alex Jones on the air.

[00:04:22] The amount of the bid was not announced.

[00:04:25] And I have a problem with that, too, because Alex Jones just said, hey, were they the highest bidder?

[00:04:30] And it's like, no, it was competitive.

[00:04:32] What does that mean?

[00:04:34] And if it's not even released to Alex Jones, who gets the facts on this thing?

[00:04:40] Who's in charge of this deal?

[00:04:42] It's a clown show.

[00:04:43] It's dishonest.

[00:04:44] It's unconstitutional.

[00:04:46] You know, between you and me, Alex isn't my favorite guy.

[00:04:50] He's very cocky.

[00:04:52] He said in court that he was just kind of a prankster and just kind of a clown, like Glenn Beck kind of says.

[00:04:57] You know, they're both clowns.

[00:04:59] And I didn't really believe what I said on the air, but I said it anyway, and I had all these psychotic episodes and all this kind of stuff.

[00:05:04] He's a drama queen.

[00:05:05] I get all that.

[00:05:07] That's just a personal point.

[00:05:09] And I'm not here to attack Alex.

[00:05:10] I'm just saying.

[00:05:11] You know, he'd get on the air.

[00:05:14] We're behind enemy lines.

[00:05:16] It's getting crazy.

[00:05:16] You know, I don't really appreciate that kind of stuff because I think that it personally, I think that it defocuses our message and who we really are as professionals in the news business.

[00:05:26] Who, what, when, where, why of stories talking about God, family, and country.

[00:05:30] I just don't think the extreme entertainment drama plays a role.

[00:05:34] But again, he has every right to his shtick, and I have every right to mine.

[00:05:37] I'm not attacking the guy, and I'm just telling you.

[00:05:39] So, you know, even though I'm not a super fan of Alex per se, the fact is the Onion acquiring the assets and getting, quote, you know, most likely special privilege to do so.

[00:05:51] The Pert just acquires all these companies' intellectual assets.

[00:05:54] Now, listen to this.

[00:05:55] Here's the problem.

[00:05:57] Customer lists.

[00:05:58] So if I'm a customer of Alex Jones, now the Onion has my information.

[00:06:05] I think that the American people involved in the customer lists for this thing, and I'm not one of them because I have not bought Alex Jones products.

[00:06:11] So don't worry about me.

[00:06:12] But my point is, if you bought products from Alex Jones, and you have every right to buy products from Alex, but now your customer list is in the hands of the Onion, or the Onion, I'm sorry.

[00:06:21] You might have a right to sue and win over that, saying, you know what?

[00:06:25] Just because he declares bankruptcy and just because it gets bought out of auction, that doesn't mean my personal information should be turned over to somebody that, you know, I don't agree with.

[00:06:34] I don't know.

[00:06:35] That's on the opposite side of the aisle of me who may basically start to persecute or prosecute me as downstream from Alex Jones.

[00:06:42] How many of the people that supported him are going to get punishment like Alex Jones did now?

[00:06:47] There are some serious problems with that whole thing.

[00:06:49] In a video posted to Eck we just played, Alex Jones decried the sale, claiming that it's unconstitutional.

[00:06:57] Amen to that reality check.

[00:06:58] I agree with that.

[00:07:00] And encouraged fans to follow him on new social media handles.

[00:07:04] I mean, if you think Alex Jones is done over this, you're wrong.

[00:07:07] This will just give Alex Jones 10 times the power, 10 times the fame than he would have had anyway.

[00:07:13] I'm just telling you, this will not shut down Alex Jones.

[00:07:16] In any way, shape, or form, it'll make him a rock star.

[00:07:19] Because even though they took away his company, the Union will continue to play their clown show using his assets and everything else to do so.

[00:07:29] But it'll be a tribute to Alex Jones and to political prisoners and to political bankruptcies.

[00:07:35] I mean, Alex Jones is a political, I don't know how you say it, not prisoner because he's not gone to prison.

[00:07:43] But he's a political hostage over this thing.

[00:07:48] And they took all the assets.

[00:07:50] Now the unions got it, supposedly to pay back these victims.

[00:07:53] These victims did this strange pay-to-play thing where they gave up part of their money to ensure that the bad guys got it, not some conservatives or not kept Alex Jones on the air.

[00:08:02] Usually a bankruptcy, if there's a way to stay on the air.

[00:08:06] But they made the amount so much it was impossible.

[00:08:08] And then they intentionally shut him down as a personal vendetta against Alex Jones.

[00:08:13] And now they're like, oh my gosh, Donald's going to have a vendetta against the Democrats.

[00:08:17] Well, the Onion, the Alex Jones people now, are we going to have vendettas against us?

[00:08:24] See, I'm defending Alex on the air right now, even though there might be some personal inside differences between me and Alex.

[00:08:30] I'm defending him.

[00:08:31] This is unconstitutional.

[00:08:32] This is wrong.

[00:08:32] This is a vendetta against Jones.

[00:08:34] But what it'll turn Jones into is basically a broadcast martyr, so to speak.

[00:08:41] But he lives to tell the story.

[00:08:42] Think about that.

[00:08:43] He's like a broadcast martyr, but he lives to tell the story.

[00:08:46] And he'll use it against him forever.

[00:08:48] And he'll raise countless money.

[00:08:50] He'll be a rock star forever over this.

[00:08:52] And he will not go off the air.

[00:08:53] He's got too much money.

[00:08:54] He's too smart.

[00:08:55] He's got too much squirreled away.

[00:08:57] He's got too many supporters that can put him up on the air in an instant regardless.

[00:09:02] Okay, so it's not going to take him down at all.

[00:09:04] It's just going to make him this political martyr that lives to tell about it.

[00:09:10] That's what we're talking about.

[00:09:11] Hey, you destroyed my whole company.

[00:09:13] You destroyed my living, my way of life, my everything.

[00:09:16] And then he'll be drama queen about it.

[00:09:18] He'll be like, I'm telling you right now, they tried to take me down, but I dug in behind enemy lines.

[00:09:23] And I took him to task, but met me and the people we won.

[00:09:26] We got it done.

[00:09:27] Okay, that's going to be his story.

[00:09:31] And I don't blame him.

[00:09:32] He's right.

[00:09:34] He'll turn it into a drama because that's what he does.

[00:09:36] He'll make a lot of money from it because that's what he does.

[00:09:39] But he's right.

[00:09:39] He's been wronged.

[00:09:41] This is insane, people.

[00:09:44] CNN all reporting it with glee, right?

[00:09:47] And stuff.

[00:09:48] So I feel bad for Alex Jones.

[00:09:51] I don't agree with all of his tactics.

[00:09:53] I don't agree with everything he did.

[00:09:54] But he has every right to his own beliefs and to his free speech, to his First Amendment.

[00:09:58] So does the onion, by the way, even though I think they're clowns.

[00:10:01] They have every right to their First Amendment, too.

[00:10:04] But to me, I think this is completely, completely wrong for them to somehow – this ends up in the hands of virtually the enemy and literally doing their best to take him off the air.

[00:10:15] But the American Journal, and I don't know much about them, they are giving him a platform.

[00:10:19] You got ex-Elon Musk giving him a platform.

[00:10:23] You know that Donald Trump's been friendly to Alex Jones and been on the air with Alex Jones plenty of times.

[00:10:27] You know that Truth Social and Alex Jones are friends.

[00:10:30] So when you got ex-and-Truth Social in your camp and the American Journal, you're not going anywhere.

[00:10:35] So this clown show is just going to rise Alex to fame as a, quote, political martyr with the ability to live and tell about it.

[00:10:43] It's a disaster.

[00:10:45] The whole thing just smacks with the violation of his God-given First Amendment free speech rights.

[00:10:49] Hang tight.

[00:13:46] Hey, thank you much, Sam.

[00:13:48] Glad to be with you.

[00:13:49] You're very welcome, my friend.

[00:13:50] So I don't know how to respond to this, but Alex Jones now lost all of his assets in a bankruptcy option.

[00:13:57] Alex Jones says they're playing games.

[00:14:00] It was kind of a secret auction.

[00:14:02] Somehow, he doesn't even know what his assets sold for.

[00:14:06] But of all groups, The Onion, which is a political satire site, ran by the Democrats, ended up with the assets.

[00:14:17] I'm not a super full of radio.

[00:14:21] I think it eats into our credibility personally.

[00:14:23] But nevertheless, he's been wrong.

[00:14:27] And this is a political vendetta against Alex Jones.

[00:14:30] But they've literally turned him into a, quote, political martyr, in my humble opinion.

[00:14:38] What do you think, Brian?

[00:14:39] Brian?

[00:14:41] Well, you know more about him than I do.

[00:14:44] I know, you know, obviously a little bit about, I mean, of him.

[00:14:48] I don't know much about The Onion.

[00:14:49] I guess that's a group that obviously they wanted his or bought up his assets, you know, apparently through this bankrupt situation.

[00:14:59] But, yeah, I'm not sure.

[00:15:01] I mean, obviously, is he irritated at the fact of them buying this?

[00:15:06] Or is he just doing this to raise more, you know, to put him more out there so that he has more of a voice?

[00:15:13] I don't know the answer to that question.

[00:15:14] I don't think that Alex is doing it.

[00:15:17] But I think that the enemies are trying to use this to get back at Alex Jones for, you know, his promotion of what happened on Sandy Hook and all this kind of stuff.

[00:15:27] And, you know, in court, he admitted that he was just doing it for entertainment purposes.

[00:15:31] And he really thought he believed it.

[00:15:32] And then he said, oh, my gosh, I didn't really believe it.

[00:15:35] I, you know, whatever.

[00:15:36] And he's made a lot of money.

[00:15:38] A lot of these people do this in modern day.

[00:15:40] They kind of turn themselves into kind of a, as Glenn Beck called himself, a radio clown.

[00:15:44] They kind of do this stuff because it gets them fame.

[00:15:47] You know, Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have had these arguments back and forth.

[00:15:50] And they're at each other's throats.

[00:15:52] But what it does is it serves to boost the fame of both of them.

[00:15:56] And so I've seen this go back and forth.

[00:15:58] And how much of this is real versus how much of this is contrived versus who's on whose side who?

[00:16:03] I don't really know the answers.

[00:16:05] But I know this, though.

[00:16:07] For the government to say, we don't like what you said.

[00:16:10] We're going to fine you some amount that's so extravagant we've never seen it in the history of the country ever.

[00:16:18] And then to – I'm trying to think of what to say.

[00:16:22] Take your assets and completely shut you down and turn over your assets and everything else to unfriendly people or people on the other side of the, quote, debate or whatever you want to say, political aisle.

[00:16:35] To let the Sandy Hook victims' families then partner with you.

[00:16:40] So as far as I understand, they gave up some of their own money that they won in the lawsuit to help the Onion buy this thing.

[00:16:47] I mean this whole thing just smacks of, are anybody's assets safe is the next question, Brian.

[00:16:54] And that's really where this goes.

[00:16:56] Forget Alex Jones for a second.

[00:16:57] Are any of our assets safe with this kind of stuff going on?

[00:17:01] Yeah, I would think not.

[00:17:03] Yeah, it seems like now that they have kind of control of that and obviously can attack or really hurt the people that put money in there.

[00:17:15] So that might not be a good thing for them or anybody that's actually trying to help in causes or putting themselves out there.

[00:17:23] And then somebody buys up those assets, then now they could be harmed or it could affect them at a big rate.

[00:17:30] I get that.

[00:17:31] So, yeah, I don't understand really, but I see your point.

[00:17:35] I see kind of like how they could take this and really spin this and then affect a lot of people that maybe didn't see this coming.

[00:17:46] It's a disgrace.

[00:17:47] All I can tell you is that, and especially in the modern era when it looks like X is supporting Alex Jones because Alex Jones has got some accounts on X that he's promoting right now.

[00:17:58] You've got the American Journal that's backing Alex Jones.

[00:18:01] You've got Truth Social that's backing Jones, which means Donald Trump in essence.

[00:18:06] I wonder what's going to happen going forward with this kind of stuff because, man, I mean, how long until it's me or how long until it's somebody else?

[00:18:15] And at what point do you say, well, you can't make these false claims?

[00:18:18] Well, the onion is full of false claims all the time.

[00:18:21] But, of course, they quote theirs as satire, right?

[00:18:24] And so when are you – satire, when are you expressing your own opinion versus when do you not have the right to say or to claim or whatever certain things?

[00:18:33] And this is a really, really slippery slope that I think we're on right now.

[00:18:37] And hopefully the Donald Trump administration can change the game on this.

[00:18:41] But just so everybody knows, it's a precious short two, four, six, eight, whatever you want to say, years until the other guys get in power isn't the pattern we've seen since the beginning of the country.

[00:18:51] So this to me, even if Donald Trump does stand tall on this, I don't know that it's going to change anytime soon.

[00:18:58] I think all of us are at risk.

[00:19:00] First it's Alex Jones.

[00:19:01] Then it's another claim.

[00:19:02] I mean, can I say, for example, that I think the vaccine is a clown show and that the vaccine is killing everybody or that I'm against the pro-death policies of the abortion industry or, you know, what if I harm all those victims?

[00:19:14] And all I'm telling you is, man, I don't know where this is going to go, Brian, but I'm not comfortable with it at all.

[00:19:19] Yeah, hey, question on that, Sam.

[00:19:21] So I think does it come back to accountability and holding these people accountable for their actions?

[00:19:30] I think that's kind of – I mean, obviously, if this is the direction they're going, you know, we as a people would like to see accountability.

[00:19:37] So they can't do this.

[00:19:39] I think there's a lot of fear in the American people that, yeah, I mean, if I support this group or if I do this, is that going to hurt me?

[00:19:45] I mean, if these groups that don't, you know, that are spreading these false agendas and so on are going to now start attacking me and there's no accountability.

[00:19:54] See, I think we'd all like to see accountability going forward because on so many platforms, we just haven't seen the accountability.

[00:20:05] I agree with that.

[00:20:06] And so you get the government literally controlling X when before it was ran by somebody else and they literally attacked people like me, took our accounts down and all this kind of stuff.

[00:20:15] There's been no repercussions.

[00:20:17] There's been a lot of shout-out about how bad they are and how evil government is, but there's been no accountability.

[00:20:22] And the question is, is that coming with Donald Trump or is it kind of like the lock-or-up claim, which means when we get in office, it's like, oh, don't worry about all that and whatever, and we kind of let it go?

[00:20:32] Because I think accountability is the key if those who have attacked Alex Jones.

[00:20:37] Now, I get someone saying, Alex Jones, you can't make these false claims and you can't repeatedly make them because you're part of the news world.

[00:20:45] And to some degree I understand that if it's blatantly proven false.

[00:20:49] But at some point, who's going to be the arbiter of that?

[00:20:52] At some point, can you make false claims if they're your opinion?

[00:20:55] Where does free speech end and abuse of others or wrong and right begin?

[00:21:00] And they're doing their best to blur that, Brian, in ways that the repercussions are just chilling.

[00:21:09] Yeah, I agree.

[00:21:11] I think – and we see so much of it.

[00:21:13] I mean look at the – we can't – the government wants us to believe in them.

[00:21:18] They want us to – we'll protect you and so on.

[00:21:20] But look at the billions and billions of dollars that are being stole from American people as a result of this scam here or this scam here.

[00:21:30] Or every day on the news they're seeing – they throw out, watch out for this scam.

[00:21:35] It's going around.

[00:21:36] It's going around.

[00:21:37] Well, they can't protect us of any of this stuff it seems like or they don't want to.

[00:21:41] And yet it's really – that's a big thing that if you want to help us, how about helping us?

[00:21:47] I mean you can't find these people that they just broke into this guy's accounts and it seems to be overseas.

[00:21:55] Let's be shutting all those things down overseas so that we can't – they can't attack us.

[00:22:00] I mean they don't seem to care.

[00:22:01] And so maybe that's the agenda of these dark rooms somewhere and governments and other people that want to just attack because there's no accountability.

[00:22:12] So if we could see that and it's more transparent and we're starting to see an end of that, boy, I think the American people would rally around that at a big time.

[00:22:24] Brian, it seems to me that this is a slippery slope, and I'll tell you why.

[00:22:27] We hope that Donald is going to be our savior, and I don't believe in that at all.

[00:22:31] I don't believe we can be saved in Washington.

[00:22:33] I think Donald might be better than Kamala for sure, but I don't believe in looking to Washington.

[00:22:39] I don't believe in looking to not only Washington but people, right?

[00:22:46] People are not our saviors.

[00:22:47] There's only one savior, and that would be Jesus Christ.

[00:22:50] And so I'm concerned about that.

[00:22:52] The House and Senate just did some very bad things in my opinion.

[00:22:56] The Senate put John Foon or whatever the guy's name is, the senator, a very mainstream guy.

[00:23:04] They just replaced – oh, what's his face?

[00:23:08] With him in a secret ballot.

[00:23:12] So you've got the Senate now that's supposed to be the – they're literally in secret deciding who the leader will be under the Donald Trump future administration.

[00:23:22] They did it all in secret.

[00:23:29] And you go, are you serious right now?

[00:23:32] Right.

[00:23:33] The American people don't need to know which senators voted for whom to be their leader.

[00:23:38] Didn't they vote on my behalf, Brian?

[00:23:40] Aren't they my representative?

[00:23:42] Right.

[00:23:43] That's exactly right.

[00:23:45] Or not.

[00:23:47] Well, you're bringing up a great point, Sam.

[00:23:50] I mean, this is kind of the thing we've been fighting against and wanting more transparency.

[00:23:55] And apparently it's not happening.

[00:23:59] And that's not good.

[00:24:00] There's also a few other changes we'll tell you all about in seconds, too.

[00:24:03] Coming up with Brian, we'll get an honest money report and the whole bit.

[00:24:59] The following is not an actor, but a real-life story from Trinity Debt Management.

[00:25:04] My debt problem started probably about 2016.

[00:25:07] I needed my life to change financially.

[00:25:10] I called Trinity and I ended up joining based on high credit card bills and high interest rate.

[00:25:18] And my counselor at Trinity has been great.

[00:25:21] And Trinity has been helping me to get on the right path of paying off these credit card bills, bringing down the interest rate.

[00:25:29] They have consolidated my bills into one low monthly payment.

[00:25:34] And now I am finally getting out of credit card debt.

[00:25:39] So I just want to say thank you, Trinity, for showing me a better and greater path.

[00:25:44] If you're in debt and you need help, call Trinity at 1-800-990-6976.

[00:25:50] My name is Sharon.

[00:25:58] South Africa's Human Rights Commission plans to investigate the police for forcing illegal miners to the surface by depriving them of food and water.

[00:26:09] The Human Rights Commission says there's concern the government's operation aimed at disrupting illegal mining could have an impact on the right to life.

[00:26:17] This came after authorities cut off food and water supply to thousands of miners known locally as zamazamas.

[00:26:25] The group of mostly sacked workers and undocumented immigrants has been refusing to resurface because they face arrest.

[00:26:33] The government said help won't be sent underground to alleged criminals, despite unconfirmed reports of deaths and illness among those still beneath the surface.

[00:27:00] The Supreme Court seems likely to preserve a class action suit,

[00:27:04] accusing NVIDIA of misleading investors about its dependence on selling computer chips for cryptocurrency mining.

[00:27:10] The justices heard arguments in the tech company's appeal of a lower court ruling,

[00:27:15] allowing a 2018 suit led by a Swedish investment management firm to continue.

[00:27:20] It's one of two high court cases involving class action lawsuits against tech companies.

[00:27:26] Last week, the justices wrestled with whether to shut down a multi-billion dollar class action investor's lawsuit against Facebook parent,

[00:27:33] meta stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

[00:30:31] Doing a phenomenal job as always.

[00:30:33] New Senator Majority Leader, John Thune.

[00:30:37] Chosen in secret, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:30:39] You comfortable with that?

[00:30:40] Remember, they work for us.

[00:30:41] Who are these clowns?

[00:30:42] Anyway, it turns out if you go to the Freedom Index for the John Birch Society,

[00:30:46] John Thune has a 56% constitutional voting record.

[00:30:51] 56%.

[00:30:51] I could literally flip a coin and get lucky and do that well.

[00:30:55] Now, it turns out at the same time, they literally doubled down.

[00:30:59] It looks like Donald Trump endorsed Mike Johnson.

[00:31:02] Mike Johnson holds on to speakership.

[00:31:05] Following, quote, Trump endorsement, Mike Johnson was, quote, unanimously nominated to serve as a second-term Speaker of the House Leader on Wednesday.

[00:31:15] So yesterday.

[00:31:17] Unanimous Mike Johnson.

[00:31:18] This is the guy that literally spin us into oblivion and kicked the can down the road on finances and everything else.

[00:31:24] Then they say Representative Lisa McClain secured the role of House GOP Conference Chair in a Wednesday vote, elevating her as the highest-ranking Republican woman in Congress for the upcoming term.

[00:31:41] I find that very interesting.

[00:31:42] She only has a 74% score on the John Birch Society Freedom Index.

[00:31:47] Trump nominates Matt Gaetz to be the next Attorney General.

[00:31:53] I don't even know how to respond to that.

[00:31:55] Mike Johnson said Matt Gaetz is resigning immediately.

[00:31:59] And you just go on.

[00:32:01] Trump officially taps Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.

[00:32:05] Marco Rubio only gets a 66% of the Freedom Index.

[00:32:08] I'm just telling you right now, Candace Owens spoke out about this on Alex Jones' show, Brian, and said that Trump is being swamped by the deep state.

[00:32:18] What do you say?

[00:32:20] Well, I hope that's not the case.

[00:32:22] I'm hoping that maybe he can rally or get these people behind him to maybe vote a little better, to maybe help push this agenda down to where we can kind of get a handle on things.

[00:32:36] I mean, that's what I'm hoping.

[00:32:37] I mean, that's why we elected him to help maybe get some of these things done, and I'm hoping that's going to be the case.

[00:32:45] Maybe they'll change some of their voting records and maybe increase that to be better, and maybe even listen to the people.

[00:32:52] I hope Trump's – that's what his push is, and that's what I'm hoping his push is, and maybe he can hopefully push these people into a better position that we need.

[00:33:04] That's the only thing I can think of.

[00:33:06] Now, the good news is –

[00:33:08] Go ahead.

[00:33:09] Sorry.

[00:33:09] I don't like the way that they kind of – if they're doing this behind closed doors, I would like to see if we as the people might maybe have a better voice on some of this stuff.

[00:33:19] But now that it is what it is, I'm hoping at least they can rally together.

[00:33:24] That's what I thought.

[00:33:24] Amen.

[00:33:24] Matt Gaetz gets an 85 on the Freedom Index from JBS.

[00:33:29] If you go to thefreedomindex.org, you guys can check it out, pop in anybody's name, and see if they're in the House or the Senate or whatever.

[00:33:34] You can get kind of an update on – you know, they basically take a snapshot of constitutional votes.

[00:33:39] That's kind of a rolling average of the last – I don't know.

[00:33:41] I can't remember how long – last so many votes, and they vet the bills according to the Constitution voting for or against it, and then it's basically a constitutional or the Freedom Index scorecard.

[00:33:52] Very good in my opinion.

[00:33:54] So, you know, that's good news about that.

[00:33:58] All I can tell you is that it's a good start with Donald Trump there.

[00:34:04] I'm concerned about some of the way they're going about things, but as a whole, it's way better than Kamala.

[00:34:09] That's for sure.

[00:34:11] Well, it's been a little over a week since the election, a week and two days now.

[00:34:15] Tell me about the Honest Money Report.

[00:34:17] Where's gold at, and how's gold fared in the Trump – I don't know what you want to call it – lame duck reality, right?

[00:34:23] Yep.

[00:34:24] So, gold is $2,563.70.

[00:34:31] And 70 cents, okay.

[00:34:34] Silver is $30.36.

[00:34:37] $30 and how many?

[00:34:39] Thirty-six.

[00:34:40] Thirty-point –

[00:34:41] $30.36.

[00:34:43] Correct.

[00:34:44] All right.

[00:34:45] So, slight changes.

[00:34:46] It hasn't changed a whole lot.

[00:34:47] It's kind of dipped a teeny bit, but not much, right?

[00:34:50] Yeah, it's come down some.

[00:34:52] I mean, with the election over, people look at more stability.

[00:34:57] They say, okay, yeah, now we're in a great spot.

[00:34:59] Let's get kind of down.

[00:35:01] You know, obviously, Bitcoin's jumping like mad, and I think people are getting into that.

[00:35:04] People are back into the stock market more, so you're seeing climbs there.

[00:35:10] In other words, we're going all the wrong direction, though.

[00:35:13] For gold and silver to be a little bit less in the stock market and Bitcoin and all these fake things to be up,

[00:35:18] that's not, in my opinion, encouraging, really.

[00:35:22] Well, they kind of fall back on the trends before.

[00:35:25] So, they fall back, and you've got people, you know, continuing to push some of these companies in your stocks,

[00:35:31] and let's get back into that.

[00:35:33] We see some gains there and so on.

[00:35:34] And the big issue that I think people, you know, we try to get our clients or people just to realize that, you know,

[00:35:43] don't exit the fact or start selling all your gold.

[00:35:46] Now it's dropping, and people, you know, they kind of get on those bad.

[00:35:49] Oh, it's starting to go down.

[00:35:50] Maybe we've got to get out of this.

[00:35:51] It's been high.

[00:35:52] We've got to get out.

[00:35:53] The key is that we hold on to some of these solid assets.

[00:35:59] They're still a, you know, they're a good hedge.

[00:36:02] And so not to exit those, but to maintain those and continue to buy a little bit as you're going and keep building that.

[00:36:09] We're not saying put everything, all your eggs in one basket.

[00:36:12] But we have to remember the fact of, you know, some of those factors is it's still our dollar system is a mess.

[00:36:22] We're $100 trillion in debt relief.

[00:36:25] You know, the deficits, our global economy, is there more inflation coming?

[00:36:31] There's pressures there.

[00:36:32] So to exit just because now, oh, this happened, oh, we're going to be saved per se.

[00:36:38] Yeah, you've got to still hold on to some of these things that has real value.

[00:36:42] So we, you know, don't just exit because you think, oh, everything's going to be just back to the way it should be,

[00:36:48] and we've got to get back into that paper game.

[00:36:52] That's a risky game.

[00:36:53] Well, and so silver's down slightly, ladies and gentlemen, which is good news if you want to buy.

[00:36:58] And so the way I look at it is some people would say, well, that's not a good sign silver and gold not doing as well,

[00:37:02] and all the stock market doing.

[00:37:03] It depends on where you're at.

[00:37:04] But if you're in a buying mood and if you want to basically, you know, continue to gain assets and have a peaceful day to do so, now is the time.

[00:37:12] So we've been given, in my opinion, some time to continue to hedge our bets and to put ourselves in a stable constitutional currency situation.

[00:37:22] And so I was telling somebody about those nickels the other day, and they're like, how much silver are they?

[00:37:28] And I said, you know, it's hard to remember exactly, you know, which percent of silver things are, but know there's silver in them.

[00:37:34] What does it take, 18 of those nickels to make up a troy ounce?

[00:37:38] Right.

[00:37:39] Is that right, 18?

[00:37:40] 35%.

[00:37:40] Yep, 35% of that is nickel, or is the silver.

[00:37:45] Yep.

[00:37:45] So 35% of those nickels is silver.

[00:37:47] It takes 18 of them to make the equivalent of a troy ounce, right?

[00:37:54] Correct.

[00:37:55] And so then how much are those?

[00:37:56] Because you get them under spot right now, right?

[00:37:58] Yeah, you can buy them for around $1.58 or so, something like that.

[00:38:02] Yep.

[00:38:03] Yeah.

[00:38:03] See, that's tremendous.

[00:38:05] I like them because they're just so small in denomination that they're usable for a lot of little things, which is really cool.

[00:38:12] And a lot of people will give you things that are even, maybe even worth more if they understand that they're silver.

[00:38:17] And it's a little bit of an education curve for people on them, but I think it's really valuable to understand.

[00:38:23] And then what are the dimes and the quarters and the halves?

[00:38:26] Those are what percent?

[00:38:28] 90%.

[00:38:30] Okay, so they're not 35, they're 90%.

[00:38:33] Correct.

[00:38:35] Yep.

[00:38:36] Your quarter still gets you a gallon of gas.

[00:38:38] I saw the gas was going down, but that quarter is still over $5.

[00:38:44] And so it's over $5, so yeah.

[00:38:48] So if silver is $30 and whatever cents, $0.36, 25%, that would be $7.50 or whatever.

[00:38:56] But yet, since it's 90%, it's not, you know, so you've got to take off.

[00:38:59] So it's like $5.50 or something like that just for a single quarter, people.

[00:39:03] It's just shocking.

[00:39:06] Yeah.

[00:39:06] Yeah.

[00:39:07] Yeah.

[00:39:08] I mean, that's real value.

[00:39:09] I mean, and that's what this constitutional currency that we talk about, you know, it's real money.

[00:39:16] It holds that value.

[00:39:17] I mean, when I keep telling people the $0.25 a gallon, I remember $0.25 a gallon of gas.

[00:39:23] It's still, that $0.25 today of that money still buys me a gallon of gas.

[00:39:28] I haven't lost anything, see, and you can't relate.

[00:39:32] The quarter and the teal won't give me a Coke, so you have to realize it still holds that value.

[00:39:37] That's the key.

[00:39:38] That's why you buy it.

[00:39:39] Put it away.

[00:39:41] Yeah.

[00:39:41] What do they say?

[00:39:41] A quarter can buy you a Big Mac then and now, too?

[00:39:45] Sure.

[00:39:46] That's right.

[00:39:47] What's that?

[00:39:48] All right.

[00:39:48] The $5 meal?

[00:39:50] Well, there you go.

[00:39:50] You still can get a meal for $5 on that quarter, see?

[00:39:53] There you go.

[00:39:55] All right.

[00:39:55] So I want to talk about the future under Donald Trump.

[00:39:57] What's this going to look like?

[00:39:58] Because a lot of people are talking about, hey, Donald's really favorable to crypto now.

[00:40:02] He was against it kind of before, but he's kind of changed his tune.

[00:40:05] Now that he's on the election bandwagon, he was really promoting crypto.

[00:40:10] Now he basically says he's going to make crypto real and valuable and good again and all this kind of stuff.

[00:40:16] And I'm not a fan of crypto, Brian.

[00:40:18] As you've heard me over the years say, you know what?

[00:40:19] Don't dip your toe in the crypto because I believe it's just – I mean, look, a single Bitcoin, almost $100,000.

[00:40:25] I mean, it's just out of control.

[00:40:27] Yeah.

[00:40:28] Okay.

[00:40:28] But here's the point and here's the question.

[00:40:30] Now folks are starting to talk about cryptocurrencies.

[00:40:34] Go ahead and skip the break.

[00:40:36] Now folks are talking about cryptocurrencies backed by gold and silver.

[00:40:40] Yeah.

[00:40:41] And that's an interesting concept because there is a question.

[00:40:45] You know, gold and silver is great, but how do you deal in the modern world with it?

[00:40:47] And I know the gold back, people have tried to work on that and et cetera.

[00:40:52] I get taking possession of your metal, but if I want to pay somebody in Alabama for something, you know, the modern world's made a way to have that happen.

[00:41:00] And is there a reality between a digital currency and backed by constitutional money?

[00:41:05] And is that a play that you think makes any sense?

[00:41:08] Yeah.

[00:41:09] I like the fact of, you know, them looking at this as far as a backing and so on because that's really where we need to be.

[00:41:15] We need to be backed by a solid asset in order to make these things work.

[00:41:21] You know, I don't know how that's all going to work.

[00:41:24] And I know that, you know, Donald's kind of feeling good about this.

[00:41:27] But there's countries.

[00:41:28] I mean, realistically, we still have to look at these avenues as a country just because it's evident there's things out there.

[00:41:37] It doesn't mean we're going to go that route.

[00:41:39] It just needs – we need to see kind of how this is working.

[00:41:42] The only problem I have with Bitcoin or with these cryptocurrencies is they kind of tend to say, well, it's just out there.

[00:41:51] It's similar to, I guess, a bank account.

[00:41:53] At least you can see, okay, on this bank account.

[00:41:55] Well, you can still see over here in this, you know, this cryptocurrency.

[00:41:58] You can still see it on this, you know, projected, you know, my computer or whatever.

[00:42:03] I can see it.

[00:42:04] Yeah, like a digital ledger, right?

[00:42:06] Yeah.

[00:42:07] The problem I have with all of that is do I really have control of that?

[00:42:11] I mean, is it a push of a button that one minute I have $1,000 and the next I've got $500?

[00:42:17] And what happened there?

[00:42:18] Or what's the – and can I reach a person that can explain the fact of what happened there?

[00:42:24] So there's still – it seems to me that it's still somebody controlling somewhere.

[00:42:30] And that's the tradable industry of this.

[00:42:34] I mean, it's no different than stocks and so on.

[00:42:37] Somebody's controlling those algorithms that it's 1% here or 2% and it's up and down and so on.

[00:42:43] That's a control thing.

[00:42:44] So I don't know what the answer is as far as, okay, we're going to go to some kind of a Bitcoin thing.

[00:42:50] I do believe they'll – eventually our dollar is going to collapse.

[00:42:55] Every other country's collapsed theirs and reprinted or whatever and devalued this.

[00:43:01] And that's going to happen with this paper we're dealing with.

[00:43:05] But I don't know how – what the answer is with this crypto or the currency because I don't – who's controlling it?

[00:43:11] How's it going to be?

[00:43:13] Somebody's got to have a finger on it.

[00:43:14] And the government's not just going to open it up and say, well, we're not going to look into any of this.

[00:43:18] You just make your money and go – the money game is still there somewhere.

[00:43:25] Yes, I think you're right about that.

[00:43:26] And I don't know how to respond to this because I get the point.

[00:43:30] To me, here's what you do.

[00:43:31] And this is just a Sam Bushman.

[00:43:33] Take it for what it's worth.

[00:43:35] You know, any times you put your eggs in a single basket, you're vulnerable, okay?

[00:43:39] So that's why at home I say get a little bit of beans, bullets, and Band-Aids.

[00:43:42] That's kind of a euphemism for saying get a lot of stuff.

[00:43:46] You know what?

[00:43:46] Make sure you have medical supplies.

[00:43:47] Make sure you have the ability to defend yourself.

[00:43:49] Make sure you have long-term durable food to feed your family.

[00:43:51] Make sure you have food and water.

[00:43:53] Or make sure you have food and fuel and shelter and clothing.

[00:43:56] Okay, those are the components to stay alive.

[00:43:59] And, okay, do all those things.

[00:44:02] Some people say, Sam, what do you say about 401Ks?

[00:44:05] Well, I think, again, they can be taken from you in an instant.

[00:44:08] The stock market, the world, the global banking cartels controls the ebb and flow of the value of those things.

[00:44:14] You have no control over that on a daily basis.

[00:44:16] So do I hate them?

[00:44:17] Well, I don't have a lot of confidence in them, but I don't hate them either, okay?

[00:44:21] If your employer is going to give you a matching percentage, there's no harm in putting something in there, right?

[00:44:26] Because in good times, and if it's good times in which we don't know the future, hey, it might be valuable and it might grow an estate for you.

[00:44:32] But at the same time, if you depend on that exclusively, what about Social Security?

[00:44:35] Will it be there when I get there?

[00:44:36] Don't know, but I'm forced to pay into it.

[00:44:38] So that's another thing in my basket.

[00:44:40] And the reason I'm bringing this up is because it's the same thing with digital currencies.

[00:44:43] Do I think they're great?

[00:44:44] No, I don't.

[00:44:44] Do I think there's a serious concern about them?

[00:44:46] Absolutely.

[00:44:47] We hear about the government creating one and creating a programmable currency, which means they can determine based on your, quote, what?

[00:44:54] Credit score?

[00:44:55] Your behavior?

[00:44:56] In life and online?

[00:44:57] And, you know, if they don't like what you do, then you're, you know, either one, don't have access to your money or two, the value of your money gets reprogrammed and changed.

[00:45:03] And, okay, I don't like all that.

[00:45:05] And I don't like this currency that's not backed by anything.

[00:45:08] But, look, we're already backed by a current – I mean, we already have a currency that's backed by nothing.

[00:45:12] So moving to a different currency backed by nothing doesn't concern me too much.

[00:45:17] But you've got to have the ability to play in those fields.

[00:45:20] If I'm going to pay people around the world for assets and buy things, I'm going to have to have a debit card or a credit card.

[00:45:25] Or I'm going to have to have some digital currency.

[00:45:27] Or I'm going to have to have some of these kind of things or else – and what am I going to do?

[00:45:31] Say I'm going to ship you a roll of nickels, hang tight, and then depend on what?

[00:45:34] Your government post office to ship them?

[00:45:36] Okay.

[00:45:37] So we've got to live in all these worlds.

[00:45:39] And I think the key to the exercise is don't get extreme on anything.

[00:45:43] Step back.

[00:45:44] Be moderate.

[00:45:46] And have a little bit of all these different things.

[00:45:49] And then, in my humble opinion, weight your asset portfolio in things that have tangible, usable value should things go awry.

[00:46:00] So beans, bullets, Band-Aids.

[00:46:03] Constitutional currency.

[00:46:05] Property.

[00:46:05] Any of these tangible things is where you should be heavily weighted, in my opinion.

[00:46:11] What do you think of that for advice, Brian?

[00:46:13] I love it, Sam.

[00:46:14] I think you're – yes, speaking the language there.

[00:46:17] There's no doubt about it.

[00:46:19] The quote I liked was preparation is peace of mind, and it still is.

[00:46:23] So, I mean, if we're preparing, putting a little away here, putting a little – whether it is beans, bullets, Band-Aids.

[00:46:29] I mean, those are all things, but on a scale of all the things.

[00:46:33] Another thing is we need to live within our means.

[00:46:36] I mean, obviously, we have a government that's out of control.

[00:46:39] And is Donald Trump the savior?

[00:46:42] Well, he might be able to help improve things, but I don't – obviously, it's not going to all happen tomorrow.

[00:46:48] And we still need to be prepared because our financials – the younger generation, they just want to buy – they want to get rich quick, it seems like.

[00:46:57] So if I can hit the next big thing, I'm rich, and I can retire at age 30 or whatever it is.

[00:47:02] And we see some of these people doing that kind of thing, but in reality, most people aren't going to do that.

[00:47:08] So live within your means.

[00:47:10] You can buy a little bit here as you can.

[00:47:12] Preparation is peace of mind.

[00:47:14] And it'll put you in a good place over a long period of time.

[00:47:18] You might have some stability that can still bless your family and support and do those things.

[00:47:23] But it's about preparing and, yeah, not putting all your eggs in one basket.

[00:47:30] And, yeah, I think that's the key right there.

[00:47:32] And like you said, I like it.

[00:47:34] That's a good –

[00:47:34] In the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, should the crap hit the fan, so to speak, you're going to need fuel, clothing, shelter, and food.

[00:47:44] Okay?

[00:47:44] That's what you're going to have to have.

[00:47:47] Shelter, food, fuel, and clothing.

[00:47:49] Fuel because you've got to stay warm or cool.

[00:47:51] You've got to take the edge off the heat or the cool, whatever.

[00:47:55] Energy because you're going to have to have modern appliances.

[00:47:58] Modern things, you've got to have modern plumbing.

[00:48:00] And those are the things that keep things sanitary.

[00:48:02] And any of those things that you fail on will mean it'll be very hard to stay alive.

[00:48:06] Right?

[00:48:07] And then, hey, if you can get a little bit of medical capabilities.

[00:48:11] Right?

[00:48:11] If you can get a little bit of constitutional currency, make sure you have a little bit of property.

[00:48:16] I weight everything I do a little bit more towards those hard assets.

[00:48:20] Because in the end of the day, hey, if my 401K goes away tomorrow, if my debit card goes away tomorrow,

[00:48:24] if the digital currency that I've invested in goes away tomorrow, if Social Security goes away tomorrow,

[00:48:29] I can fall back on those fundamental things that I've highlighted for you.

[00:48:32] However, if the world's good, it's really nice for me to be able to say,

[00:48:36] I want to pay my buddy James Edwards some money.

[00:48:38] So I go ahead and digitally send it to him.

[00:48:40] And the world's great.

[00:48:41] Otherwise, I've got to depend on the post office.

[00:48:43] And can you send money safely through the post office anymore?

[00:48:46] How am I going to get him any money?

[00:48:47] And so we've got to live in both worlds.

[00:48:49] And that's why I say, hey, don't be afraid of these other worlds.

[00:48:53] Don't be afraid of digital currency.

[00:48:56] Look for one that's backed by constitutional currency.

[00:48:59] When I say don't dip your toe in the crypto, what I mean by that is don't invest your life away,

[00:49:03] hoping you're going to get rich because you're not.

[00:49:05] Well, you might.

[00:49:06] If you do, you know, hey, you can lose it just as fast as you gain it.

[00:49:09] That's something to be aware of.

[00:49:10] In the final minutes, though, Donald Trump has really been talking about getting rid of the education department.

[00:49:15] And the liberals are losing their minds.

[00:49:17] Now, the education department was created in 1979 by Jimmy Carter.

[00:49:22] In 1980, it went into effect.

[00:49:24] The Democratic Congress voted it in.

[00:49:28] Anyway, I guess it was a Republican Senate Democratic House for Reagan's first administration after it.

[00:49:33] Reagan and crew promised to abolish the Department of Education.

[00:49:36] They never did.

[00:49:37] So on.

[00:49:37] They've been talking about it literally since 1980 now.

[00:49:40] So for, what, 45 years, they've been promising to abolish it.

[00:49:43] Donald says he'll get it done.

[00:49:45] Will Trump deliver on his pledge?

[00:49:47] To shut down the Department of Education is the question for you.

[00:49:51] The liberals are saying it's going to be about impossible to do for all kinds of regulatory and other reasons.

[00:49:56] Brian, what's your take?

[00:49:57] Do you think Donald can get it done?

[00:50:00] Well, I hope he can make headway.

[00:50:03] The education department is a disaster.

[00:50:06] There are all these agendas that are going on and what we're seeing.

[00:50:10] And, oh, my goodness.

[00:50:10] But I hope he can accomplish some things there because there's definitely a big need.

[00:50:16] I mean, I think more and more people are taking their kids out of their homeschooling or doing whatever just because they can't.

[00:50:24] They have no say in kind of what they're being taught to their children and what's being pushed on them.

[00:50:30] So I hope that some things can be done.

[00:50:33] I, believe it or not, think Donald can get it done.

[00:50:36] I think he's got enough of the right people around him.

[00:50:38] And I'm going to bet – I don't have the ability to bet a single Bitcoin because that's 100 grand and I don't have that kind of money.

[00:50:43] But I'm going to bet a silver nickel, ladies and gentlemen, so $1.58 right now, worth probably $1.70 or something like that.

[00:50:51] But anyway, I'm going to bet a silver nickel that Donald can get it done and he'll push it back to the states and he'll be criticized by some, praised by others.

[00:51:02] But, look, he got whatever moved to Israel that – I can't remember what it's called, but he got that moved.

[00:51:09] People thought nobody else could do it.

[00:51:10] He got – what else did he get to – oh, Roe versus Wade pushed to the states.

[00:51:16] I think he'll actually get this done, whether it'll be better or worse with the new plan.

[00:51:21] Well, it's better and it will be more constitutional.

[00:51:24] Maybe worse because if you live in a blue state, it's going to get rowdy as the state just kind of quadruples down.

[00:51:30] I think Donald actually might get this done.

[00:51:32] And that's my hope and prayer, Brian.

[00:51:34] That's why I bring it up.

[00:51:34] The liberals are going crazy and they're thinking it – they're highlighting the idea that it'll be impossible for him to get it done.

[00:51:40] They're just setting the stage for him actually to do it, I think.

[00:51:43] Yeah.

[00:51:44] Well, I'll take your nickel bet on that, Sam, and I'll raise you two.

[00:51:50] So you think you'll get it done too?

[00:51:52] I hope that's the case, yeah.

[00:51:54] Yeah, amen.

[00:51:55] I like it, yeah.

[00:51:57] I've got a couple nickels.

[00:51:58] I'll do the same.

[00:52:00] All right, one last tidbit before we let you go, Brian.

[00:52:02] This is kind of interesting.

[00:52:03] The headline says, How Joe Rogan, Barron Trump – that's Donald's youngest son, which, by the way, he happens to be a digital currency expert, I'm told –

[00:52:13] and podcasts led Gen Z's cultural revolution.

[00:52:16] Things are changing, my friend, so you can expect a lot to change in the next four years.

[00:52:20] However it all looks at the end of the game, I don't know.

[00:52:22] I'm not a prophet, but I can tell you this.

[00:52:24] You ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to change.

[00:52:28] It's all coming, and it's going to start with this lame duck session, and some are saying they're going to put – Joe's going to resign,

[00:52:35] and Kamala's going to be president for a day.

[00:52:36] Others are saying, no, Sotomayor's going to resign, and they're going to put Kamala on the Supreme Court.

[00:52:41] Others are saying, no, we'll just make her the governor of California.

[00:52:44] What do you think is going to happen with Kamala?

[00:52:47] She'll probably try to get into California, I think.

[00:52:51] I don't know.

[00:52:52] Maybe my thought.

[00:52:54] They'll put her where they want her.

[00:52:56] She doesn't – she's kind of a piece of their puzzle, so move her to where she –

[00:53:04] I mean, what's she going to do in a sense?

[00:53:06] I mean, she's tried to already do all kinds of things that she's really not –

[00:53:10] somebody else, I believe, is making the decisions for her.

[00:53:14] Could you imagine the word salad from the Supreme Court, Brian?

[00:53:19] There you go.

[00:53:20] It's just like, are you kidding me right now?

[00:53:22] But then a buddy of mine joked yesterday on the program, she'll just have chat GPT writer briefs, and she'll be fine.

[00:53:30] There you go.

[00:53:32] Yeah, that's it.

[00:53:33] I think you're right.

[00:53:34] It's a little bit insane, ladies and gentlemen, but the good news is you have a friend in the honest money business,

[00:53:39] ladies and gentlemen, Brian Rust and family over the past 50 years.

[00:53:42] Three generations of the Rust family have been working to help you understand and take possession of precious metals.

[00:53:49] Freewatercoinco.com, their website, doing a phenomenal job with the honest money report, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:53:55] Gold sitting at $2,563.70.

[00:53:59] Silver at $30.36.

[00:54:02] I recommend the nickels, though.

[00:54:04] They're under spot.

[00:54:05] Brian's got tons of them, and they're an incredible buy just for you.

[00:54:08] Also get the quarters, dimes, and halves.

[00:54:11] Also look for the one-ounce Silver Eagle, Silver Dollars.

[00:54:14] Silver Eagles, I like those, too.

[00:54:16] They're at a little bit of a premium, but, boy, they're sure pretty and sure easy to understand because it says a dollar on them.

[00:54:21] Oh, boy, is that an expensive dollar, huh?

[00:54:24] Almost $40 for one of those babies.

[00:54:26] Anyway, you've got a friend in the honest money business.

[00:54:28] Thank you, Brian.

[00:54:30] Hey, thanks, Sam.

[00:54:31] I was hoping you'd get a position of Trump's seat there.

[00:54:34] I thought that'd be a good thing.

[00:54:36] I'm waiting for Donald to call, but so far there's, you know, phone ain't ringing, you know?

[00:54:41] I'd head up the media for him, though, and I'd tell you I'd take those clowns to task.

[00:54:47] God save the republic.

[00:54:49] Thanks, Brian.
