Radio Show Hour 1 – 12/12/2024

[00:00:12] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening

[00:00:19] to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:24] All right.

[00:00:25] Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:30] Hard-hitting news that never refused to use, no doubt starts now.

[00:00:34] This, my fellow Americans, is the broadcast for, wow, it's already December the 12th

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

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

[00:00:47] God, family, and country through Saudi radio and the traditions of our founding fathers.

[00:00:52] Yes, indeed.

[00:00:53] Ladies and gentlemen, the checks and balances brilliantly put in place by the founding fathers,

[00:00:57] what are the peaceful, restorative solutions we still have at our fingertips?

[00:01:01] As you know, we reject revolution, unless it's a Jesus revolution, and then we're in because

[00:01:06] we follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:01:07] Welcome to the broadcast.

[00:01:08] Hope you're gearing up for a fantastic Christmas.

[00:01:11] I know that I am.

[00:01:12] And man, just a quick recap of yesterday's broadcast.

[00:01:15] We had our brothers for the Big Mig.

[00:01:18] Check them out on Rumble and X and everywhere else, thebigmig.com.

[00:01:22] They're also on Liberty News Radio on the weekend, so check that out as well.

[00:01:26] Lance Migliaccio, George Ballantyne.

[00:01:28] And we talked about the fact that we aren't buying it, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:01:32] We're just not buying it.

[00:01:33] What am I talking about?

[00:01:34] You say, well, listen, really, the simple act of distributing photos and somebody randomly

[00:01:42] spots this guy at McDonald's?

[00:01:46] Not the sophisticated facial recognition technology all over New York?

[00:01:51] Caught this guy?

[00:01:53] Yeah, that's what led cops to the suspect, just, you know, distribute pictures.

[00:01:57] It's like modern day, you know, you put somebody on a milk carton and, oh my gosh, we discover

[00:02:01] them.

[00:02:02] And then the people joked about him and then the McDonald's employee called and boom,

[00:02:06] they got him.

[00:02:07] And all the surveillance in the world in New York City didn't get the job done.

[00:02:11] Interesting to say the least.

[00:02:12] Are you buying it?

[00:02:13] I'm not buying it.

[00:02:14] Yeah, Luigi's manifesto.

[00:02:19] Turns out the media refuses to publish the real manifesto.

[00:02:24] That's what Ken Klippenstein says.

[00:02:26] Don't know the truth of that because I'm not the mainstream press.

[00:02:30] I don't get all the news press releases they get.

[00:02:32] How would they get a copy of that?

[00:02:34] He says this, though.

[00:02:36] I've obtained a copy of the suspected killer and his manifesto, the real one, not the forged

[00:02:43] one.

[00:02:45] Not the one forgery circulating online.

[00:02:51] Major media outlets are also in possession of the document.

[00:02:53] He says, I'd like to run that to ground if I could.

[00:02:55] I don't know how.

[00:02:56] Don't have the time to track it down.

[00:02:57] But I'm telling you this.

[00:03:00] Interesting narratives, huh?

[00:03:03] Yeah, they say that, well, they killed him and this Luigi guy killed the CEO in cold

[00:03:09] blood.

[00:03:12] Within minutes of his arrest, we virtually know his whole life story, where he worked,

[00:03:15] who he is, tapped into the family, what his education was, what he's done online, his

[00:03:20] problems, his health issues, his data.

[00:03:22] We know everything about it, but we don't know anything about the guy that tried to assassinate

[00:03:27] Donald Trump sitting on the roof that wasn't not protected.

[00:03:31] We don't know anything about that guy, huh?

[00:03:33] How come the serious contrast?

[00:03:37] Believe it or not, some people are celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson

[00:03:45] by selling merchandise.

[00:03:46] Guys, women are online saying they want to have his baby.

[00:03:50] Jimmy Kimball, staff in love with the guy.

[00:03:53] I mean, this is just a disgrace.

[00:03:55] Now, I don't know if the guy's guilty or not, though, is the problem.

[00:03:58] And I don't trust the press.

[00:04:00] When they jumped to conclusions this quickly, I mean, they literally told you, we think the

[00:04:04] gun matches.

[00:04:05] It's a ghost gun.

[00:04:07] Well, the ballistics match, they finally now say.

[00:04:10] But see, they said that so early on, it's like leading the witness idea.

[00:04:15] McDonald's worker who called cops could be in for getting a bunch of money.

[00:04:18] I doubt it.

[00:04:19] They play games with that.

[00:04:21] You know, you got to be convicted.

[00:04:23] You got to have an arrest.

[00:04:24] You got to this.

[00:04:24] You got to that.

[00:04:25] You got to.

[00:04:26] Interesting.

[00:04:28] I guess the suspect is fighting extradition to New York.

[00:04:34] Man, prosecutors have, I guess, charged this guy with five different counts.

[00:04:38] And all these counts are second degree this and that.

[00:04:42] Second degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.

[00:04:47] And I guess a forged instrument, second degree.

[00:04:52] Why is everything second degree?

[00:04:54] George Ballantyne broke that down a little bit.

[00:04:56] And he said because first degree is kind of different in New York than it is in most places.

[00:05:00] And second degree makes sense.

[00:05:02] I just don't know, man.

[00:05:04] It's just very, very weird.

[00:05:06] They say he shouted something.

[00:05:08] This is completely out of touch.

[00:05:10] This is insulting the intelligence of the American people.

[00:05:13] They're now using that to say the guy might be mentally ill and they're going to have his attorneys plead this insanity charge or something similar.

[00:05:22] Luigi had a ghost gun.

[00:05:24] They claim there's no such thing as a ghost gun, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:05:27] All it means is a gun that you can make at home with a 3D printer and it doesn't have government tracking on it.

[00:05:34] That's not illegal.

[00:05:36] Although now they've tightened rules to make the guns more traceable.

[00:05:40] But I find it just fascinating how we dig into this thing and how, man, I don't know what's going on with it all.

[00:05:46] It just doesn't make sense to me.

[00:05:48] Everything we hear about this thing is strange, man.

[00:05:51] Everybody's in love with this guy.

[00:05:52] Women want to have his babies and everything.

[00:05:56] I'd like to hear what this gentleman has to say, though.

[00:05:58] This is what's interesting.

[00:05:59] Whenever they grab somebody like a Timothy McVeigh.

[00:06:02] By the way, Donald, released Oklahoma City bombing documents, would you please?

[00:06:06] I digress.

[00:06:07] Anyway, or this case.

[00:06:09] We never really hear from the victims because they're gone.

[00:06:14] They're dead, right?

[00:06:15] But what about the perpetrator?

[00:06:17] Do we ever hear from them to hear their side of the story?

[00:06:20] When this guy shouted something that we're now saying is unhinged and is insane, it was his only chance to possibly speak to the press and maybe give a few people.

[00:06:29] So am I saying the guy's guilty?

[00:06:30] No.

[00:06:31] I believe he's innocent until proven guilty.

[00:06:33] And so far, we don't have a proof of guilt at all.

[00:06:36] But I'd like to hear from this guy.

[00:06:38] I'd like to go in and interview this guy and see what, you know, does he admit to it?

[00:06:42] Does he admit to the manifesto?

[00:06:43] Can we confirm there are really two manifestos out there?

[00:06:46] Because if there are, who drafted the forgery manifesto or the second narrative that's different from the one the mainstream press won't publish?

[00:06:53] Is it true the mainstream press won't publish it?

[00:06:55] Is that, you know, reporter correct on this?

[00:06:59] I don't know, but I find it very fascinating indeed.

[00:07:02] Do you?

[00:07:03] I just find it very, very strange.

[00:07:06] Anyway, we will keep an eye on that ball.

[00:07:07] We will continue to break that down as it unfolds.

[00:07:10] But I'm not buying the story.

[00:07:11] I'm telling you right now, there's something wrong with this thing.

[00:07:14] We knew too much too quick.

[00:07:16] They jumped to too many, many conclusions.

[00:07:18] Oh, my gosh.

[00:07:19] The same fingerprints on a water bottle are the same that are on the gun.

[00:07:23] The same that are on, I don't know.

[00:07:27] They're just coming back with these things too fast, too strange.

[00:07:31] The photos that they released early don't really match the guy.

[00:07:35] All kinds of strange anomalies are happening.

[00:07:37] Now alleging two manifestos that are different.

[00:07:41] Oh, the guy had a ghost gun.

[00:07:43] The guy hid from society to try to get away.

[00:07:46] But by golly, he's got a manifesto telling you all that he did.

[00:07:50] And something's not right, people.

[00:07:53] I'm telling you, write it down.

[00:07:55] Reminds me of the Seth Rich scenario a little bit.

[00:07:58] A lot of information closing the case way too quickly for my liking.

[00:08:02] And Seth Rich, oh, it was a robbery gone bad.

[00:08:05] Of course, the robbers didn't take anything.

[00:08:06] Oh, that doesn't matter.

[00:08:07] That's just a little overlooked detail that doesn't seem to make a difference, right?

[00:08:11] This kind of situation.

[00:08:12] Oh, the guy's all of a sudden busted.

[00:08:14] Had a ghost gun.

[00:08:15] Untraceable.

[00:08:16] No serial numbers on it.

[00:08:17] But we know it was the same gun.

[00:08:18] We checked all the ballistics and such and were confident.

[00:08:21] And then they go on and on and on.

[00:08:23] Man, two manifestos.

[00:08:24] And man, now everybody's in love with this guy.

[00:08:27] I mean, something's just weird in society and weird in the cops.

[00:08:33] Do they want to get an arrest quickly?

[00:08:35] They claim there was nobody but this one lone gunman.

[00:08:40] Is that accurate information?

[00:08:42] What's really the truth on this thing?

[00:08:44] We don't know.

[00:08:45] Anyway, sad tale, I'll tell you that.

[00:08:47] By the way, Donald Trump Jr., so JR, if you will, dumps Kimberly Guilfoyle.

[00:08:54] Either that or she dumped him in the presses, manipulating it.

[00:08:58] Don't really know the truth.

[00:08:59] The fact is they're not together anymore.

[00:09:01] They got together after she had two marriages and she's got a dark past in and of herself.

[00:09:07] Problems with her employment in the media.

[00:09:11] Problems with her employment as an attorney.

[00:09:13] Now problems with the Trump campaign.

[00:09:15] But while Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle are now not together,

[00:09:21] Trump names Guilfoyle as his ambassador to Greece.

[00:09:26] Do you find that weird?

[00:09:27] So JR and Guilfoyle separate.

[00:09:30] Then she gets an ambassadorship to Greece.

[00:09:32] Is that so that Kim will shut up?

[00:09:34] Kim, we'll make sure the rest of your life has plenty of money.

[00:09:38] Don't worry about that.

[00:09:39] You get an ambassadorship to Greece so you can kind of separate yourself with us

[00:09:44] or from us and from the Trump family with grace as long as you keep your mouth shut.

[00:09:49] I'd be interested to know what's going on behind the scenes with that.

[00:09:52] I guess JR's got a new girlfriend now too.

[00:09:55] Don't know who she is yet.

[00:09:57] Got to dig on that.

[00:09:58] But very, very strange to say the least.

[00:10:02] All right.

[00:10:02] Got good news.

[00:10:04] Judge Christopher Lopez is his name.

[00:10:07] Rejects.

[00:10:08] You heard me.

[00:10:09] Judge Christopher Lopez rejects.

[00:10:10] Sale of Alex Jones Infowars to The Onion.

[00:10:17] Yeah.

[00:10:18] Citing a flawed auction process.

[00:10:22] Yeah.

[00:10:23] Alex Jones said it was a flawed auction process.

[00:10:25] He went further, but the judge even agreeing.

[00:10:29] Yournews.com is where I got the piece.

[00:10:31] They're revolutionizing the news service, by the way.

[00:10:34] So check that out.

[00:10:35] Anyway, so good news on that count.

[00:10:38] Hey, The Onion can't mock.

[00:10:40] You know, Jones is in charge of his organization still temporarily.

[00:10:44] Time will tell what's going to happen with that.

[00:10:45] But interesting indeed.

[00:10:48] They try to say Alex is guilty of all these crimes.

[00:10:51] Then they have a flawed auction process.

[00:10:55] You can't trust them, can you people?

[00:10:56] Hang tight.

[00:10:57] Brian Russ coming up.

[00:13:12] Brian Rust with us.

[00:13:14] Over the past 50 years, the Rust family has been helping people understand

[00:13:16] and take possession of precious metals.

[00:13:20] Welcome to the broadcast, sir.

[00:13:22] Thank you much, Sam.

[00:13:23] Glad to be with you.

[00:13:24] Got good news on a variety of fronts.

[00:13:26] Judge Christopher Lopez denied the sale of the onion, buying the InfoWars thing.

[00:13:31] Alex Jones protected now.

[00:13:33] They say that the judge says this.

[00:13:35] He says it was a flawed auction process.

[00:13:38] That means they literally tried to steal this stuff from Alex Jones.

[00:13:43] I'm glad the judge caught him, Brian.

[00:13:46] Yeah.

[00:13:47] Yeah.

[00:13:47] Hopefully we – that's kind of the thing that we always look for is the good, you know,

[00:13:53] and doing the right thing and stopping the wrong.

[00:13:55] So, yeah.

[00:13:57] I think that's it.

[00:13:57] That is good.

[00:13:58] I like that.

[00:13:59] That's something we keep an eye on.

[00:14:00] Now, this is very weird, and I want to get your take on this.

[00:14:02] I don't buy this story about this assassin that took off or killed this CEO.

[00:14:07] I'm not buying the stories we're getting on this, Brian.

[00:14:10] I just – things don't add up for me, and I don't trust the media, and I don't trust the government.

[00:14:15] So I have real questions about it.

[00:14:17] But here's an interesting twist on this.

[00:14:19] No matter what, we feel horrible for the CEO that lost his life and for the CEO's family,

[00:14:26] and we stand against, you know, killing of any kind.

[00:14:30] I mean, self-defense might be a different discussion.

[00:14:32] Sometimes wartime might be a different discussion.

[00:14:35] But for the most part, we're just, you know, thou shalt not kill, and we take it seriously.

[00:14:39] So – but on a Piers Morgan panel, these are the liberals, the whacked-out British guy, Piers Morgan.

[00:14:45] He had a big old panel, and it erupted after a Democratic commentator.

[00:14:51] Her name is Brianna – or Brianna Joy Gray.

[00:14:57] She admits she has no empathy for slaying UnitedHealthcare CEO.

[00:15:05] Yournews.com with this.

[00:15:08] How can you be a person who has no empathy for somebody that gets murdered?

[00:15:13] I don't care who they are.

[00:15:15] I don't care the circumstances.

[00:15:17] I'm just telling you right now, you have no empathy.

[00:15:19] I have empathy for the CEO that died, his poor family.

[00:15:22] I don't know if he has a wife and children.

[00:15:24] I don't know enough about him.

[00:15:25] But for his family, I'm sad that anybody was – their life was taken prematurely.

[00:15:31] Our prayers are with the family.

[00:15:33] I don't care who it is.

[00:15:34] I don't care if it's, you know, that CEO.

[00:15:38] I don't care if it's Brianna Joy Gray herself or, you know, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or Joe Biden or anybody.

[00:15:44] I don't want death and destruction or the killing of anyone, Brian.

[00:15:48] And how dare her kind of mock this situation or have this – these people are psychopaths, my friend.

[00:15:57] Yeah.

[00:15:58] Yeah.

[00:15:59] That's a – yeah, it's satanic.

[00:16:01] You know, it's kind of like Satan's deal.

[00:16:03] He's all about that.

[00:16:05] And, you know, I was reading this morning about the Jaredites and so on.

[00:16:09] They had just bloodthirsty.

[00:16:10] They didn't want to negotiate terms even when one king and the other were trying to – or they were trying to negotiate the one king.

[00:16:19] Yeah, we're just going to kill you.

[00:16:20] We're just going to kill you.

[00:16:21] And it seems like we're seeing more and more of that in this – in our world or people is you listen to the people on The Voice.

[00:16:30] They've got a war – they've got a program, and they can put it out there, and they have no – they don't care to hang Trump, kill Trump.

[00:16:38] You know, they just say these things, and they have no – you know, it's inhumane.

[00:16:43] And that's kind of what we're seeing from this, satanic and inhumane.

[00:16:47] Life doesn't mean anything anymore.

[00:16:49] I couldn't agree more.

[00:16:51] And just so everybody understands, because we've got an international audience, many of them don't know what Brian's referring to.

[00:16:55] He's referring to the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ.

[00:16:58] Whether you agree or disagree, it's a religious book or, you know, that it's – understand is one of the greatest handbooks for freedom ever written.

[00:17:05] So you can read it from that perspective, just a freedom-oriented perspective.

[00:17:08] You can also take the promise in the Book of Mormon.

[00:17:10] But there's a group – there's a couple of civilizations that literally eventually destroy themselves because they turn against God and sin,

[00:17:17] and they sin so much they eventually completely just self-destruct as societies.

[00:17:22] And one of those societies was named the Jaredites, and the Jaredites came from the Tower of Babel.

[00:17:28] And eventually were led to a promised land.

[00:17:31] We consider that to be ancient America.

[00:17:34] And, I mean, this is Tower of Babel time, so a long, long, long time ago.

[00:17:37] That was one civilization that destroyed themselves that Brian's referring to.

[00:17:41] Great book.

[00:17:42] You guys can get it for free.

[00:17:43] Anyway, check it out, churchofjesuschrist.org.

[00:17:45] And, again, I'm not here to promote Mormonism per se to all these people that are Christian.

[00:17:50] But I will say the Book of Mormon is one of the greatest handbooks for freedom ever written, Brian.

[00:17:55] And if you do it's a religious text, then great.

[00:17:57] If you don't understand it is another testament of Jesus Christ, then understand that it is one of the greatest handbooks for freedom ever written.

[00:18:04] And it talks about our day and the things that we're dealing with right now is the quintessential point, Brian.

[00:18:11] It is.

[00:18:11] And, you know, we can learn.

[00:18:14] We can learn from history.

[00:18:16] You know, it seems like that we want to get rid of history and we don't want to look back and all this.

[00:18:22] But yet, if we can learn from history, we can not make the same bad choices that apparently people are making today.

[00:18:29] And we're seeing it.

[00:18:31] It's evident.

[00:18:33] It sure is.

[00:18:34] Anyway, I just I don't even know how to respond to this.

[00:18:37] But the Piers Morgan panel erupts.

[00:18:39] I mean, everyone should be saying, look, we believe in thou shalt not kill.

[00:18:42] We're so sorry this has happened.

[00:18:45] Our prayers are with the family and everybody suffering from this.

[00:18:48] Our prayers are with the nation's psyche to have this happen.

[00:18:52] And it hit international scale in terms of its purport and discussion.

[00:18:57] And in my mind, empathy.

[00:18:59] We had a lead with kindness.

[00:19:01] We had a lead with love.

[00:19:03] I have plenty of empathy for these situations.

[00:19:07] And our prayers are with all of them.

[00:19:08] And I don't care who it is.

[00:19:10] Somebody that I might politically 100 percent disagree with or whatever else.

[00:19:13] Hey, I don't want this to happen to anybody.

[00:19:15] I want people to be kind and loving and patient and forgiving.

[00:19:19] And and I want people to follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:19:21] See, then they tell you how dangerous I am for the Republic, Brian.

[00:19:27] Yeah, that's right.

[00:19:29] You're that's right, Sam.

[00:19:31] You're you're dangerous.

[00:19:32] What I find is is is in our society today.

[00:19:36] There's there's the regard for life is just is just not there anymore.

[00:19:41] It seems like, you know, road rage.

[00:19:43] We talk about this all the time.

[00:19:45] You know, someone runs someone off the road.

[00:19:46] But but if you start to interview or talk to the people who have lost these loved ones,

[00:19:52] it's it's it's been major destruction to their surrounding, to their family, to the.

[00:19:58] And we don't seem to care.

[00:20:00] We don't all who cares.

[00:20:01] I mean, but but accountability is is is nice.

[00:20:06] It would be nice if we had more compassion and charity towards.

[00:20:10] Yeah.

[00:20:10] No one wants anyone to die or lose a loved one.

[00:20:13] I mean, it's it's a sad thing.

[00:20:15] And for them just to say, like, yeah, no big deal type thing is is is a reckless abandon of life.

[00:20:22] Amen.

[00:20:22] Speaking of the road rage incident, Brian, you might find this kind of interesting.

[00:20:26] I can't remember who told me this, but it was a friend of mine or somebody.

[00:20:30] And they're like, listen, here's how I deal with road rage.

[00:20:32] You know, at first I get really ticked and I want to just I just want to run my car into him and take care of business.

[00:20:37] And then I got to get rid of that thought because it's unholy and it's inappropriate.

[00:20:40] And I got to stop that.

[00:20:42] I'm I'm human.

[00:20:42] So it comes out from time to time.

[00:20:44] But I got to quash it.

[00:20:45] Here's what I do.

[00:20:46] I usually just smile and tap my brakes and say, maybe that person, somebody in their family is having a baby.

[00:20:53] And maybe that's why they got to hurry to wherever they're going.

[00:20:56] And so I just got to just chill out and let them go.

[00:20:59] And, you know, maybe maybe their wife, their daughter, their who knows somebody's having a baby.

[00:21:03] And so, hey, got to just chill out and let them go because they're in a hurry because it's and it's just kind of a way to kind of smile and laugh and just learn to dismiss it and let it go.

[00:21:12] Right.

[00:21:12] What do you say?

[00:21:13] I like it.

[00:21:14] I like it.

[00:21:14] I think that's very important.

[00:21:16] I try to do similar things because obviously you could.

[00:21:19] Oh, that makes me mad or that, that, that, that.

[00:21:21] No, you know, we don't know their situation.

[00:21:24] Now, I, you know, I don't like the gestures, gestures that maybe somebody might make to me because I was going too slow or I was going, but, but, but okay.

[00:21:33] Hey, I, I just wave and hey, it's okay.

[00:21:35] We're good.

[00:21:36] Thumbs up.

[00:21:36] I'm sorry.

[00:21:38] You know, kind of thing.

[00:21:39] But people, people don't care sometimes.

[00:21:43] They just, and then that's the, that's the opposite situation is there's just anger or hate or look, I hate you.

[00:21:50] You're driving so slow or I hate you for look, I, it's, it's just wrong.

[00:21:56] It's like that, uh, that movie, I think it's called mafia to Mormons.

[00:21:59] And this, this lady basically comes from the York and from the East and she's in Utah and she tells her husband, she said, I like it here.

[00:22:05] We've been here two weeks and no one's flipped me to bird yet.

[00:22:11] There you go.

[00:22:12] You know, we got to just settle down people.

[00:22:14] We got to have a little bit of appreciation, a little bit of an understanding.

[00:22:17] You know, we don't know what the other people's circumstances are and they're probably not having a baby, but it is a way of just kind of dismissing it and taking a little bit of a break and saying, Hey,

[00:22:25] um, you know what?

[00:22:26] Things aren't that critical.

[00:22:27] Things aren't that vital.

[00:22:28] If it takes me three minutes extra to get somewhere sometimes or a minute extra to get, it's okay.

[00:22:34] It'll be all right.

[00:22:35] And we need to really kind of look at things that way.

[00:22:38] And we really need to kind of give people a little bit of grace, especially at Christmas time for crying out loud, give people a little bit of, you know, and say, Hey,

[00:22:47] we can all slow down a little bit.

[00:22:49] We can all, and believe it or not, there's all kinds of people now, Brian, that are embracing a new term called the slow line.

[00:22:55] And what they've done is they've kind of backed off from all kinds of things.

[00:22:58] They've decreased their schedules and they're not, you know, they don't got to go so many places and they, they try to arrive places early and they do all these things to create kind of a slower life.

[00:23:08] I kind of like a lot of that concept.

[00:23:12] Yeah, I agree with you.

[00:23:13] Peace of mind a little bit.

[00:23:15] Step back and, and don't be in such a hurt.

[00:23:18] Yeah.

[00:23:19] We, you know, as I get older, it seems like time just flies by and we're running here and running here.

[00:23:24] And, you know, and so it's, I agree.

[00:23:28] The slow life sounds good to me.

[00:23:30] All right.

[00:23:31] These people might be living a slower life pretty soon.

[00:23:33] I'll tell you why in minutes, but there's a guy, he's a democratic Massachusetts representative.

[00:23:38] His name is Seth Moulton.

[00:23:40] And he basically said on Wednesday on CNN, he says that he believes that quote, thousands of federal employees could submit their resignations by January.

[00:23:54] Due to president elect Donald Trump's quote victory in November daily color.com with the piece.

[00:24:02] He's saying, Hey, um, you know, uh, the FBI director, Christopher Ray bailed.

[00:24:08] And now people are taking their queue and thousands might leave.

[00:24:12] So they're going to be living the slower life pretty quick.

[00:24:15] Brian, when we get back, we'll have you kind of respond to that economically and more.

[00:24:18] Brian rest with me, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:24:20] Um, they've been taking care of precious metals for families for more than 50 years.

[00:26:00] Two companies that had proposed a massive merger are now locked in a legal fight.

[00:26:06] Albertsons is suing Kroger for failing to approve their proposed supermarket merger.

[00:26:11] The two companies are accusing each other of not doing enough to push their proposed alliance through.

[00:26:17] And Albertsons pulled out of a nearly $25 billion deal.

[00:26:21] The bitter breakup came the day after two judges issued injunctions to block the merger, saying it could reduce competition and harm consumers.

[00:26:30] Albertsons is now suing Kroger, asking for $600 million for a termination fee, as well as billions of dollars in legal fees and lost shareholder value.

[00:26:40] Kroger says the claims are baseless.

[00:27:01] A Hawaiian woman is safe after going missing in November.

[00:27:05] Hannah Kobayashi vanished last month in Los Angeles.

[00:27:09] Which clearly shows Kobayashi crossing the United States border on foot into Mexico.

[00:27:13] Kobayashi had missed her connecting flight to New York and planned to explore Los Angeles.

[00:27:18] But subsequent text messages to her family and an inability for them to reach her alarmed them so much they reported her missing.

[00:27:26] LAPD says they're happy to learn Kobayashi was safe.

[00:27:29] And new information shows this is a private matter.

[00:27:32] Her father, who was involved in the search, was found dead in a parking lot near L.A. International Airport late last month.

[00:28:59] Mr. President.

[00:29:00] Senator from Kentucky.

[00:29:01] Reserving the right to object.

[00:29:02] I lived for four months in Asheville, worked at the VA hospital, still have fond feelings for Western North Carolina.

[00:29:08] But the thing is, is the reason why we won't do this in responsible ways is because the Senate voted to send all your money to Ukraine.

[00:29:13] I mean, they voted to send $200 billion to Ukraine.

[00:29:16] I've been all over the mountains of Appalachia when I ask people, would you rather that your senators take care of you here in Asheville or here in Pikeville, here in Appalachia,

[00:29:25] would you rather them send your money to Ukraine?

[00:29:27] I don't get anybody wanting to send a penny to Ukraine.

[00:29:30] Look, you can have all kinds of sympathy in the world for Ukraine, a hostility towards Russia being the aggressor nation, but we don't have the money.

[00:29:35] We're $2 trillion in the hole.

[00:29:37] Interest this year is going to be $1 trillion.

[00:29:39] And as far as passing this, I'm willing to let it pass today.

[00:29:41] He's going to object to passing his own bill today simply because it gets paid for.

[00:29:47] I'm willing to let the bill pass, but take some of the fluff and boondoggle subsidies from the Green New Deal and put it into here.

[00:29:54] The money's sitting here.

[00:29:55] We put it into here for disasters.

[00:29:57] We help Asheville today.

[00:30:13] Casting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:30:23] Ladies and gentlemen, you've got to love Rand Paul at the bottom of the hour saying,

[00:30:30] Hey, man, let's just decrease spending.

[00:30:32] And speaking of that, this Democratic Massachusetts rep, Seth Moulton now says,

[00:30:37] Hey, thousands of folks are going to follow the lead of FBI Director Wray and resign.

[00:30:44] And I say, good riddance.

[00:30:46] Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you is what I'm kind of saying.

[00:30:50] I'm just, you know, bye-bye.

[00:30:52] And so I'm like, na-na-na-na, goodbye, Ray.

[00:30:56] You know, I don't mean to be rude.

[00:30:58] I'm just saying we need the downsides.

[00:31:00] We need to cut spending, Brian, like nobody's business.

[00:31:04] I agree, Sam.

[00:31:06] That's awesome.

[00:31:07] I liked the little song along with it.

[00:31:09] So that's great.

[00:31:10] I'm going to join in with you because, yeah, I mean, what do we got?

[00:31:13] Two million, you know, federal workers or the feds.

[00:31:19] We just got a lot of or too much.

[00:31:21] And we're spending and spending and we need to make the cuts.

[00:31:25] And so somewhere we've got it.

[00:31:26] I'm doing a video on this.

[00:31:27] I've started my shorts, Brian.

[00:31:29] I don't know if you know that.

[00:31:30] I'm doing short videos now.

[00:31:31] And so basically I get a piece of that song and I'm like, hey, hey, goodbye, Ray.

[00:31:39] I love it.

[00:31:40] There you have it, man.

[00:31:41] There you go.

[00:31:43] Anyway, I got an interesting tidbit on this for you, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:31:47] This is very fascinating.

[00:31:48] I don't know if you have been tracking Argentina, Brian, but the Argentinian president, Millay,

[00:31:54] I think is how you say his name, he announces that he will reduce taxes by 90%.

[00:32:04] Gateway Hispanic with the peace at Gateway Hispanic is where you find this.

[00:32:10] And all I'm telling you is just imagine if Trump said, I'm going to follow the Argentinian

[00:32:15] presidential lead and I'm going to cut taxes 90%.

[00:32:17] Of course, we're going to have to cut spending y'all, but we're going to, hey, and then tear

[00:32:22] us at the border.

[00:32:23] We could make a difference almost instantly like that, Brian.

[00:32:26] Yeah, I think that'd be great.

[00:32:28] Rand Paul, what he's been saying that for a number of, you know, how about 1%?

[00:32:32] And he came out and said, or who was it, him or Mike or one of them that said, yeah,

[00:32:37] cut the government by 1%.

[00:32:39] Yeah, that's Rand Paul.

[00:32:40] Who's going to do it?

[00:32:40] You're right.

[00:32:41] And they said, nobody.

[00:32:42] Nobody's going to do it.

[00:32:43] And see, that's the issue we got.

[00:32:44] That's the problem we got.

[00:32:46] We're just spending money.

[00:32:47] They don't care.

[00:32:48] They don't, you know, it's not hurting them.

[00:32:49] It hurts the, you know, the middle class or the lower income people.

[00:32:53] They can't afford to do it anymore.

[00:32:55] And we need to cut.

[00:32:56] No doubt about it.

[00:32:57] Well, I can tell you the Argentinian president saying he's going to cut taxes 90%, man.

[00:33:03] I'm just giving that dude an applause.

[00:33:05] Why don't we just get rid of the IRS is all I'm saying, Donald.

[00:33:08] You could day one just say, I got rid of the IRS, shut that unconstitutional behemoth criminal

[00:33:13] agency down.

[00:33:14] No more will it be the arm of bureaucrats and thugs to put people in fear and panic.

[00:33:19] And no more will it be the, quote, Gestapo of the United States.

[00:33:22] It's over.

[00:33:23] We're done.

[00:33:23] We're not doing that anymore.

[00:33:25] Anyway, in the meantime, what you got to do is get honest money, folks.

[00:33:29] And the way you do that is you go to freewatercoinco.com.

[00:33:31] You have a friend in the honest money business.

[00:33:33] The honest money report, where's gold sitting, Brian?

[00:33:37] $26.95.20.

[00:33:41] $26.95.20 for an ounce of gold, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:33:45] Silver?

[00:33:47] $31.49.

[00:33:48] $31.49.

[00:33:49] And where's that in terms of the ratios?

[00:33:51] Because, man, these ratios just continue to astound me.

[00:33:54] It's so out of whack.

[00:33:55] I wonder if it's going to start correcting itself.

[00:33:58] Yeah, about 86.

[00:34:00] 86 to 1.

[00:34:02] Should be more like 15 or 20 to 1, right?

[00:34:05] Yep.

[00:34:06] Yep.

[00:34:07] Do you think we're going to see a change over the next four years with the Trump administration

[00:34:10] as we kind of move to cutting spending and doing some of these things?

[00:34:15] What effect do you think that's going to really have on some of this?

[00:34:18] Well, I see the metals continually to hold strong.

[00:34:23] And, you know, I look for more uptrend in silver with all the things, you know, industry and so on that use silver.

[00:34:32] The applications, we don't get a lot of that back as opposed to gold where you get a lot of the, you know,

[00:34:36] your jewelry can be melded down or things that could be.

[00:34:39] But we don't get that back in silver.

[00:34:42] Silver's been $50 an ounce before.

[00:34:45] The pressures and all the things that are going on, I definitely see us hitting $50 again or higher.

[00:34:52] Panic will drive a lot of it.

[00:34:53] If you took the gold price right now and you divide it by 20, so it would be a 20 to 1 ratio just for kind of clarity's sake,

[00:34:59] it'd be $134.76, Brian.

[00:35:02] That's right.

[00:35:03] You're exactly right.

[00:35:04] So it's kind of – so we look for an uptrend in that.

[00:35:09] Gold's holding stable.

[00:35:10] You know, obviously they're talking about a lot of this cryptocurrency and the things there.

[00:35:16] But the thing with cryptocurrency and the issues is nobody's come up with really the exact science of that that's going to say,

[00:35:24] okay, well, this is going to save us.

[00:35:26] You know, there's these different ones that are popping up now because Trump's in and so on.

[00:35:30] But the behaviors of, you know, cryptocurrency is like the tech stocks.

[00:35:37] They kind of move up and down and the speculation is driven – it's more driven by that as opposed to gold where it's been trusted for thousands of years,

[00:35:46] more dependable to preserve wealth.

[00:35:50] And so I don't – you know, our metals aren't going away.

[00:35:53] They've been there for thousands of years.

[00:35:55] There's central banks are still continuing to buy up worldwide, you know, gold and that.

[00:36:01] So the stability –

[00:36:02] And by the way, that's at an accelerated rate right now.

[00:36:05] Even though the mainstream press doesn't really highlight that fact, it's true, right?

[00:36:09] Yeah, that's exactly right.

[00:36:11] And so, you know, and I just – the adage, you know, to help people just understand, you know, we are inflation.

[00:36:19] You know, we're up another – we're at 3%, they're saying, or so, and it's up a little higher than – they're trying to bring this inflation down.

[00:36:25] But my conversation with people or clients that come into the store are basically, look, my silver quarter still buys me a gallon of gas.

[00:36:35] My silver dime still gets me a can of soup.

[00:36:37] My – you know, your quarter in the till isn't going to buy you a Coke.

[00:36:41] It's not – so if you look at the coin, the silver coin or that metal has not lost any value.

[00:36:48] I mean, it's tradable for – it's risen with inflation.

[00:36:52] Gas is this.

[00:36:53] Well, five bucks on a silver.

[00:36:54] I could still get a gallon of gas or more.

[00:36:57] If they can buy – look into the fact of, well, silver hasn't done anything.

[00:37:01] Well, it hasn't lost anything.

[00:37:02] You go back to when I was a kid.

[00:37:04] You know, when I started driving, it was a quarter.

[00:37:06] Sure, it's still a quarter for a gallon of gas.

[00:37:08] And so that's what I'm trying to help people understand.

[00:37:11] It's not about making the money and, oh, I made all this money and it went way up.

[00:37:14] No, it's the – what's the buying power of what you have?

[00:37:18] Well, this metal hasn't lost anything.

[00:37:21] Well, and I'm not very smart, but let me just kind of throw this out for you.

[00:37:24] A lot of the network marketers – and I'm not really into network marketing a lot, but I will say – you know, they say this.

[00:37:29] You know, you're always down on what you're not up on.

[00:37:33] You're always down on what you're not up on.

[00:37:35] What I find fascinating about this is – think about this for a minute.

[00:37:39] If – we always want whatever we have to just go up.

[00:37:42] It's supposed to just go skyrocketing.

[00:37:44] But that's all related on inflation and manipulation of things, okay?

[00:37:48] But I got a question.

[00:37:50] If I have a silver dollar or a silver nickel or dime or quarter or whatever, half, and I hold on to it, and then the currency goes down against my metal that doesn't go down.

[00:38:01] It holds its value, but the currency goes down.

[00:38:03] Aren't I up on what I'm not down on?

[00:38:08] You are.

[00:38:09] I like it.

[00:38:10] That's exactly right.

[00:38:11] Because if it goes down against what I've got, I'm really – it's me going up.

[00:38:14] And so people say, oh, man, you know, the coins haven't held their value compared to stocks.

[00:38:19] You're full of baloney.

[00:38:21] Take a silver eagle silver dollar.

[00:38:23] It used to be a dollar.

[00:38:24] Now it's worth $31 and something cents if you just count the raw metal.

[00:38:29] But reality is what?

[00:38:30] A silver eagle silver dollar is like $35, $40 right now?

[00:38:33] Yeah.

[00:38:33] So the point is the currency has gone down 40 times, which really means that your dollar, you could say it hasn't gone up, but compared to your dollar, it's gone up 40 times, right?

[00:38:46] Yeah.

[00:38:47] See, I'm kind of stupid.

[00:38:52] And it's not even girl math, Brian.

[00:38:54] This is real math going on, buddy.

[00:38:55] That's right.

[00:38:56] You're right.

[00:38:58] All right.

[00:38:59] Here's the headline, and I find this headline so fascinating.

[00:39:02] And I want to get Brian's take on it.

[00:39:04] Katie Rogers wrote this piece, gilded, autographed, and ready to ship.

[00:39:12] Gilded, autographed, ready to ship.

[00:39:14] And she says everything around President-elect Donald J. Trump has become, quote, something to monetize, including a moment of comedy with Jill Biden at Notre Dame.

[00:39:29] Donald J.

[00:39:30] Donald J. Trump learned a long time ago that photo opportunities could get him attention, and anything that he put his name on could make him money.

[00:39:38] So as a three-time presidential candidate, two times winning, one time didn't.

[00:39:42] And now the president-elect, he is basically marrying two concepts.

[00:39:49] The first one is faster than ever, tying the high-profile rough and tumble of his life to products like perfumes, watches, sneakers, digital trading cards, and I could go on.

[00:40:04] Everything around Mr. Trump has become something to monetize, including this moment of comedy with Jill.

[00:40:11] He says this.

[00:40:12] He's got this photo of him and Jill.

[00:40:14] And Jill's smiling, and he's smiling.

[00:40:16] And he says, here are my new Trump perfumes and colognes.

[00:40:21] Mr. Trump wrote on social media on Sunday, along with a picture of his interaction with Jill Biden, of all people.

[00:40:29] He says, I call these perfumes fight, fight, fight, because it represents us winning.

[00:40:35] Yeah, you can get some Christmas gifts for your family.

[00:40:40] And, hey, it's a fragrance.

[00:40:42] Your enemies can't resist.

[00:40:44] When we come back, I'm going to have Brian Rust respond to this one, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:40:47] Hang tight.

[00:40:58] Former Sheriff Richard Mack recounts in his book the proper role of law enforcement,

[00:41:03] how he came to realize while working as a beat cop how wrong the all-too-common orientation of police officers is

[00:41:09] when they think of their job as being to write tickets and arrest people.

[00:41:12] Richard Mack tells of his personal transformation from by-the-number cop to constitution-conscious defender of citizen safety and freedoms.

[00:43:02] Back with you live, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:43:04] So Donald Trump has learned the art of monetizing everything.

[00:43:07] What he does is he uses his star-studded power, slaps his name on everything.

[00:43:12] With warp speed, he comes out with products that just capitalize and make a bunch.

[00:43:17] I'm talking about a bunch of money.

[00:43:20] Now he's calling it fragrances your enemies can't resist.

[00:43:25] Yeah.

[00:43:26] As he uses Joe Biden's photo to promote his latest product, Brian.

[00:43:33] Well, it's a nice marketing ploy.

[00:43:35] I mean, they're over there, what, in Notre Dame, you know, the celebration or whatever, and he's there.

[00:43:42] And, hey, why not?

[00:43:43] I mean, it's an opportunity for him to raise money, and he's number one figure out there as far as in the news.

[00:43:49] So it's enough guitars and perfume and watches and sneakers.

[00:43:54] I think there's a whole line of things he's touting, and I think there's a lot of people that are probably buying it.

[00:44:01] A fragrance your enemies can't resist.

[00:44:03] I just think it's just too rich, Brian.

[00:44:06] I mean, it's too good.

[00:44:07] And you can say the president shouldn't be able to do this, but there's nothing in the Constitution that says he can't do this, Brian.

[00:44:13] People might not like it.

[00:44:14] People might think it's a little bit, oh, what's the word?

[00:44:19] Um, gauche, is that the word?

[00:44:21] A little bit?

[00:44:22] I mean, come on now.

[00:44:23] But at the same time, I mean, can you blame the guy?

[00:44:26] That's what he's done his whole life, right?

[00:44:28] Yeah, he's done it his whole life.

[00:44:30] And how many take it the opposite direction where people try to get him caught in some kind of scheme because they're standing here, well, this is what he did to me,

[00:44:40] or this is what trying to get money from him or something to that effect.

[00:44:44] But, hey, it's an opportunity for him to market and raise some cash and probably for a good cause.

[00:44:50] Maybe he'll donate some of that.

[00:44:51] So, yeah.

[00:44:55] I just find it very strange.

[00:44:58] And I kind of find it weird to where, you know, when do you use the presidency for your financial gain versus when does your financial gain benefit and promote the presidency?

[00:45:08] And people can be critical of this, but as far as I understand, he's served without salary, Brian.

[00:45:12] If we're talking about cutting expenses, there's $400,000 you can cut out right out of the gate for every year he served.

[00:45:18] Yeah, that's exactly right.

[00:45:19] So I don't blame him for doing some of this.

[00:45:21] And I think there are a lot of things that he does for people out there.

[00:45:26] I've heard stories of very good things that he's reached out and helped.

[00:45:32] And so I think, yeah, why not?

[00:45:36] Anyway, I just find it very, very fascinating that people are critical of it and everything.

[00:45:40] And I just fire back and say, look, there's nothing that prohibits him from doing these things.

[00:45:44] And every other politician goes into office and gets Richard and Snot and leaves.

[00:45:48] At least he's doing it through the private sector and our free will rather than by tax force, Brian, or secret dealings behind the scenes that bankrupt us all.

[00:45:56] At least he's doing it by the free market, free enterprise system way, right?

[00:46:00] Yes, he's doing it the right way.

[00:46:02] I think it's great.

[00:46:03] That's a good example.

[00:46:05] But there are always going to be those that are going to attack and make it a negative.

[00:46:09] But I think it's great.

[00:46:13] And I got to pick Brian's brain on this one as well, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:46:16] This is just, I don't know.

[00:46:17] The United States Treasury Department on Tuesday executed the transfer of its $20 billion share of a massive $50 billion G7 loan to Ukraine.

[00:46:35] The funds routed through World Bank Intermediary.

[00:46:41] They call it the felicitation of resources to invest in strengthening Ukraine's financial intermediary fund.

[00:46:52] Anyway, they have this big thing about, I don't even know how it all works, but they say it's dealing with the ongoing conflict with Russia.

[00:47:00] That's according to Reuters news service.

[00:47:04] They say this movement ensures that the full amount dedicated to, quote, non-military purposes and aligns with the, quote, prior commitment made in October via the European Union's $50 million pledge.

[00:47:20] Anyway, they say that it includes contributions from Britain, Canada, Japan, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen spearheaded the $20 billion wire transfer,

[00:47:36] emphasizing that the funds were drawn for the proceeds of Russia's immobilized assets.

[00:47:43] So here's what we do.

[00:47:45] We steal Russia's money, lock it down, play with the global leader of the world, Brian.

[00:47:50] Then we go ahead and we give it to the war enemy, and we claim that it's not a war actor, that we're not involved in the war.

[00:47:56] And Donald is going to inherit this, in my opinion, wake of the transaction by clueless Joe in a lame duck session.

[00:48:06] I mean, what is happening right now?

[00:48:10] Well, I think they meant to do that on purpose, just to leave him with this thing that he needs Trump to take care of.

[00:48:20] You know, I thought they, you know, I thought Congress and others were dead against this, and it kind of got thrown in and done.

[00:48:32] And, yeah, I think it's sad.

[00:48:33] I mean, we're pouring so much money into that effort.

[00:48:37] And it is an act of war.

[00:48:39] And I think Putin has said, look, if you're going to do these things, it is an act of war.

[00:48:45] And I get his point.

[00:48:46] And so it's going to be – I'm not sure how this is going to work out or long term because I thought Trump had, especially when he was in office, that he had things going very well across the world and people he was able to meet with and talk to.

[00:49:01] And it seems like as soon as this regime got in after him, they just destroyed any of that effort and now has made it reckless abandon as far as do this and attack that and give money to them so they can attack that.

[00:49:15] And it's not a good situation.

[00:49:18] Now, I look at this, though, and I just say, did Congress really give him the ability, Joe Biden, to do this?

[00:49:24] And for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to really transfer this money?

[00:49:29] Because I find it criminal, though.

[00:49:31] I mean, $20 billion in a wire transfer in a lame duck session while this guy can't even string two words together?

[00:49:38] Haven't heard from him in months?

[00:49:40] Donald's literally meeting with world leaders while Joe can't even hardly talk?

[00:49:46] Kamala's been absolutely disgraced putting out drunk videos and everything else.

[00:49:49] And now we're just going to send $20 billion in a lame duck session?

[00:49:54] No one's going to really blink an eye but me?

[00:49:56] What's going on?

[00:49:59] Right.

[00:50:00] I hope there's some accountability because, you know, that's the one thing I think American people want is they want accountability.

[00:50:06] And when these things are happening and these things are done and not legally done, I think that's the accountability.

[00:50:14] Look, if you're going to do this thing, that's – and, you know, you need to be responsible for that.

[00:50:20] And it's like – it's criminal.

[00:50:21] And we're going to – you know, they throw these lawsuits out at Trump and have been for the last little while of this, that, and the other.

[00:50:27] And yet there were so many others in the same boat.

[00:50:30] They never said anything about them in office.

[00:50:33] And yet they're really pushing him.

[00:50:34] And I think all through this election they wanted to cause confusion and get him tangled up.

[00:50:40] But I really think I'd love – I think the American people want to see accountability for these kind of things that are wrong.

[00:50:45] They're wrong.

[00:50:47] They're not – they can't – they shouldn't be doing this.

[00:50:50] There's no government declaration that they need to do this.

[00:50:55] It's against what their position is.

[00:50:58] And I think it should be – yeah, they should be held accountable.

[00:51:02] And Biden should probably be impeached on those efforts.

[00:51:06] And others should be thrown in – yeah, it's sad.

[00:51:09] It's bad and it's sad.

[00:51:11] So Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, in my opinion, she was put in charge of the Treasury.

[00:51:16] But she's just robbed the Treasury, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:51:19] $20 billion.

[00:51:20] Now, do you think Joe will just pardon himself and Janet on his way out?

[00:51:24] Probably.

[00:51:25] I mean, he's been pardoning others.

[00:51:27] I mean, it's a – I don't know what he's doing.

[00:51:30] 1,500 committed sentences right now.

[00:51:32] He's on a roll.

[00:51:34] Yeah.

[00:51:35] Yep.

[00:51:36] I don't even know how to respond to this.

[00:51:37] All right, Brian, where are we at in terms of money?

[00:51:39] What's the best thing for people to grab now if they get a hold of you over at freewatercoinco.com?

[00:51:44] What's the best thing?

[00:51:45] Still got a bunch of nickels, right?

[00:51:47] We have nickels.

[00:51:48] We have, you know, your constitutional dimes, quarters, half dollars.

[00:51:54] Are the nickels constitutional too, or are they just –

[00:51:57] Yeah.

[00:51:57] No, they are.

[00:51:58] I mean, they have silver in there.

[00:51:59] They're U.S. coinage.

[00:52:00] And so it's – you know, that's a good buy.

[00:52:04] And that's very inexpensive.

[00:52:06] So it's not hard to buy a little bit of that.

[00:52:08] And a lot of people like silver rounds, silver eagles.

[00:52:12] They're all heavily sought after and just a good way to just put a little away.

[00:52:17] And so – and if you need it, we have people that are selling this well because they need it.

[00:52:21] Look, they're hit hard times.

[00:52:23] They can't make their payments.

[00:52:25] And so that's why you have it.

[00:52:26] So if you need it, you got it.

[00:52:27] You can use it for that.

[00:52:29] And it's peace of mind.

[00:52:31] So, yeah.

[00:52:34] All right.

[00:52:35] 18 of the nickels equal one troy fluid – or one troy ounce, right?

[00:52:41] Yep.

[00:52:42] 18.

[00:52:42] Correct.

[00:52:43] And how much are they running right now?

[00:52:45] I think you can buy them for about – still about $1.

[00:52:48] What is it?

[00:52:49] $1.60, $1.65, somewhere right in there.

[00:52:52] Okay.

[00:52:52] So basically $30, folks, is what you got to think about.

[00:52:55] And you get 18 of those dudes.

[00:52:56] And if you just do $30 a month and get 18 of those things, hey, you know what?

[00:53:01] Now, I know the price could change slightly, so this isn't factual.

[00:53:05] But 18 times 12, you do that $30 a month for a year, you have 216 of those nickels, people.

[00:53:10] See, a little bit over time becomes quite a bit.

[00:53:15] That's my quote for today.

[00:53:16] A little bit over time becomes quite a bit, Brian.

[00:53:18] Brian.

[00:53:19] Yeah, it is.

[00:53:20] That's exactly right.

[00:53:22] And I like your quote.

[00:53:24] You know, when the dollar's going down, it's really going up.

[00:53:28] If you got the silver dollar, see, it's really going up.

[00:53:32] Yeah, I'm up on what you guys are all down on there.

[00:53:36] That's how it is when you have constitutional currency, people.

[00:53:38] You're up on what everybody else is down on because they're all down.

[00:53:41] They don't really realize it, but they're getting the fleece.

[00:53:45] I'll tell you that right now.

[00:53:46] How about Silver Eagles?

[00:53:47] How much are they running?

[00:53:48] People love those pristine, you know.

[00:53:51] Yeah, the Silver Eagles are running about that $36 range in there.

[00:53:57] Yep.

[00:53:58] All right.

[00:54:00] You can also plan and just get one of those a month, and pretty soon you'll have a bunch

[00:54:03] of those if you do that for a long time.

[00:54:06] Correct.

[00:54:06] Brian Rust, thank you, sir.

[00:54:07] We'll have you back, my friend.
