owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
		Here we are live once again, Owen Schroyer Live, episode 14, over-delivering and ahead of schedule.
		Here with Owen Schroer Live.
		One more episode after this in the pilot, the eight-episode pilot, which is already ahead of schedule, over-delivering.
		You know how it is.
		And so here we are tonight on this February 20th.
		Now, before I went live, I didn't even know this, but Donald Trump himself was live.
		And I got to tell you, it was one of his better speeches that I've seen in recent memory.
		And he even took questions from the audience.
		That was a little unexpected.
		Of course, we all know a certain president who wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of that.
		But he's got this new thing he calls Club 45, or I guess Club 47 is what they're hoping.
		But really liked the energy Trump had tonight and really like some of the things that he was saying, specifically addressing the integrity of our elections as such a key issue.
		So that was good to see from Trump.
		But man, I'll tell you, I've got, it's like, I've got hope for what I'm seeing with the Trump movement.
		But then there's another part of me that kind of it's like we still got a long way to go.
		We still got a long way to go and catch up and learn how to beat the fake news media, beat the censorship and all of it, because I'm watching the news as I normally do as I'm monitoring the news live here.
		And nobody's talking about Donald Trump anymore.
		Not even Fox News.
		And so it makes you wonder if Fox News is off the Trump train or back off the Trump train as they were in 2015 and 2016, and if they won't be backing DeSantis.
		And so I already said it looks like 2016 all over again.
		And now it's more evidence it's going to be 2016 all over again.
		They're going to ignore President Trump.
		The mainstream media is going to ignore President Trump and they're going to be pushing somebody else.
		We'll see who that ends up being.
		But the two big discussion points for tonight, should gay couples be allowed to adopt?
		And is Marjorie Taylor Greene right about a national divorce?
		And we're going to kind of have a reverse show tonight because normally I get to all the content, then I take calls.
		I really am going to take calls first, and then we're going to get to the content later is the plan there.
		And so there's some content that will lead into these questions.
		And we'll be taking calls on your response.
		Should gay couples be allowed to adopt.
		And is Marjorie Taylor Greene right about a national divorce?
		And so we'll cover these two things first and then open up the calls.
		But on the Trump speech quickly, I liked it.
		It was his best speech I've heard since he announced.
		I liked his energy.
		And look, I can relate to something that I think Trump is kind of guilty of.
		And I get it because it's happened to me.
		And in a way, it's happened to all of us.
		It's happened to a lot of people after the pandemic.
		But Trump is really comfortable down there in Florida.
		He really doesn't, he's really secluded and safe.
		And it's just like Florida is the place you want to be right now.
		It's really not even close.
		Just the energy, the patriotism.
		It's the closest thing to America on planet Earth right now is Florida.
		And he's comfortable there.
		And his friends are there.
		Mar-a-Lago is there.
		His golf course is there.
		And so he really just, he really just doesn't want to leave is kind of how I see it.
		So I guess he's just going to stay down there and maybe make an appearance when he goes to East Palestine.
		But what was interesting is that nobody was covering this Trump speech.
		I had no idea what was going on.
		And what are you going to do?
		So you have right side broadcasting covering it.
		They're banned everywhere.
		I don't hear much about their stuff.
		And there's this other thing that goes on in conservative media that's just kind of a, this is probably more of a me thing because I just can't help, but I see this stuff.
		I observe this stuff, whether it's I'm reading stories and nobody knows how to edit or write anymore.
		But I can tell, and I think this will catch up.
		And I'm not trying to be condescending here because I think it'll catch up.
		But the problem that we have in independent media and the right-wing new media is a lot of the individuals are not actual professionals.
	And so they're really rough around the edges and they don't fully understand presentation.
	They don't fully understand broadcasting.
	And so it makes it, it makes it harder to it makes it harder to get an audience and hold an audience when you're not really having that professional product and presentation.
	It's why we're so, it's why I'm so grateful and why we should be so grateful to have Infowars around.
	But I think it'll catch up and it's slowly catching up.
	But what are you supposed to do when you're right side broadcasting and you get banned everywhere and you're the only ones covering the Trump rally?
	But Trump is banned everywhere.
	He has no way to really promote it.
	You're banned everywhere.
	You have no way to promote it.
	And if the cable news decides they're not going to promote it, then you just, you don't even hear anything about it.
	And then it just becomes this isolated event, which has kind of become the Trump 24 campaign so far.
	So it's an interesting phenomenon, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
	I liked it.
	Let's get into the content and let's start with this.
	Now, I got to tell you, gay marriage is something I've commented on before, but I'm not really so politically charged on the issue of gay marriage.
	And if I was going to comment on it at all, I would just say maybe we just, maybe the state doesn't need to be involved in marriages or maybe we just rethink the legal classification or whatever of marriage in general.
	But so gay marriage has never really been my thing.
	I just, it just, to me, it doesn't matter.
	And I know it does because it's not as simple as, oh, well, you just live with somebody because that's what it's like to me.
	It's like, look, if two dudes are going to live their life together and spend their life together, you know, do they really care whether they get accepted by the state?
	But there's all this, but see, this is when you get communist on you.
	This is when they get communist on you.
	Oh, but the government does this and the government does that.
	And then there's the tax, this and this, that.
	It's like, okay, well, now you're just communist.
	So I can see the advantage of state recognized marriage, legally recognized marriage.
	There's reasons for that.
	But anyway, the point is gay marriage has never really been my issue.
	Still not really my issue.
	But I only say that because that's kind of the gateway into this new debate that I've never really even thought about, quite frankly.
	And that's should gay couples be allowed to adopt children.
	Again, this is something I've never really even thought about.
	And maybe that's because it's so ridiculous that that's why I didn't think about it because it is so ridiculous.
	But this is a real thing and it's happening now.
	And it was just something I never really thought about till I saw this video.
	And I'll read some of the responses to kind of put it into perspective.
	But I saw this video.
	And for the first time ever, I had an opinion on should gay couples be allowed to adopt.
	And let's see if you have the same response I do to this video of a gay couple just adopting this baby.
	I mean, look at what's going on already here.
unidentified		Did you see that at the end there, by the way?
		What?
		Let's watch this again.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		This is how you can conduct a much better body language analysis, and that's without sound.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Let's watch, let's watch the final 10 seconds of that again without sound okay now as I said gay couples adopting it's never really something that I've thought about and
unidentified		I think the reason is because it's actually so ridiculous that I would never even think about it.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Now, there's a couple of interesting responses to this video where I found it on Twitter, and there's one that I want to read from the original pundit.
		This makes people who are otherwise tolerant, accepting, and mature despise homosexuals.
		The left has exploited blacks and homosexuals to advance their agenda.
		Do these groups understand that when the dust settles, they will be hated more than they ever have been before?
		Now, I can't disagree with anything he says there because I would say it's not accurate in that this makes me despise anybody, let alone homosexuals.
		There's no despising that comes out of this.
		There's a distaste, certainly, and perhaps even a distrust of the process of a gay couple adopting a child.
		But I relate to this.
		I'm tolerant, accepting, mature.
		I have no problem with gay couples.
		Like I said, gay marriage isn't even really an issue to me.
		I never even thought about gay adoption before.
		But then you see this video, and so is this just these people ruining it for everybody else?
		Or is this exactly why gay couples should not be allowed to adopt children?
		But then the bottom point is even more head on.
		The left has exploited blacks and homosexuals to advance their agenda.
		Do these groups realize that when the dust settles, they will be hated more than they ever have been before?
		And that's part of the psychological warfare is to set somebody up to be the fall guy for what you've done.
		Again, child trafficking at another level.
		Remember, we had that.
		We had a gay couple that adopted kids and pimped them out.
		Remember that one?
		Yeah, barely made the news.
		Gay couple adopts kids, pimps them out, and rapes them from multivariate perspective.
		child trafficking at another level.
		I hope these guys are actually good people, but the flippant way they act doesn't make me feel hopeful.
		But since I don't have a lot of experience with individuals acting like them, hopefully, they will love that baby more than themselves.
		And so there's all kinds of different responses.
		A couple of them stuck out, but I don't know.
		It's the issues that are the potential issues we see with gay couples, the same issues we see with straight couples.
		Boy, I mean, you could say yes to that.
		But if you're going to have an honest analysis of it from all angles, would the risk that a child faces be higher in a non-married or married gay couple versus a straight couple that is married?
		And I'm not an adoption expert.
		I think you have to be a married couple.
		No, that's not true.
		You don't have to be a married couple.
		Again, I'm not the adoption expert.
		I'm just going over now in my mind what I do and don't know about it.
		But this just, this again, never thought about gay adoption.
		Seeing this video made me realize I'm against it.
		They treat the baby like it's a designer handbag.
		They are already doing videos with this infant to promote themselves.
		And then just the weird body language of it and the kissing of it, that's just not natural.
		I don't know.
		Maybe, maybe I'm in the minority on the view on this point, but I do intend to open up the phone lines to take your calls on it.
		Now, here's the other topic: Marjorie Taylor Greene has caused a stir with this tweet: We need a national divorce, we need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.
		Everyone I talk to says this from the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrats' traitorous America last policies.
		We are done.
		Now, what I find interesting about this is, of course, this was the purpose of the United States.
		That's the point.
		States' rights.
		That's the entire point of the United States: each state could decide its own destiny in the greater union.
		But obviously, we're a far cry from where that once was.
		But liberals hate conservatives.
		Liberals hate conservatives.
		Liberals are the most hate-filled group on the planet.
		The Democrat Party is the biggest hate group in the history of America.
		So these people are filled with hate for you.
		So you'd think that they'd want to be behind this.
		They don't like you shoving your patriotism and they don't like you shoving your religion and your Christianity and they don't like you and they don't like that.
		So you'd think that this would be a mutual thing.
		With the deep political divide, the wide crevasse that exists between the left and the right politically in America now, you'd think this would be a mutual, yep, you know what?
		Amicably, peacefully, let's go our separate ways and let's just see how it goes.
		Let's just see how it goes.
	Now, here's the issue: Democrats and the American left would never agree to this because without us to boss around, they have no reason to exist.
	If the Democrats, if the modern-day American left, didn't have people to tell how to live their lives, then there would be no reason for them to exist.
	They need us, they need us as their subjects, they need people to subjugate.
	If there's nobody to tell, if they don't have anybody to tell how to live, if they don't have anybody to tell what to do all the time, then they don't know what to do.
	They have no existence.
	That's the entire ideology of the left.
	It's totalitarian, it's authoritarian, it's tyrannical.
	It's always the left politically, no matter where you're at in human history, no matter where you're at on the planet, it's always the left politically that is authoritarian, totalitarian, and eventually tyrannical.
	And so, without you to tell how to live, without you to accuse of being X, Y, or Z, without you to boss around, they have no reason to exist.
	Their entire purpose is bigger government with more people to command and control.
	Well, they're already good slaves, they're already good, willing participants in big government and daddy government in Big Brother.
	So, there's no, there's nothing there.
	There's no they're there.
	Need you to take and bring into the cult.
	They need you to take and tell how to live and what to do and what to eat and how to travel and how to educate and how to worship.
	So, without red states, blue states have no purpose without people to subjugate, without subjects to subjugate.
	Democrat states would have nothing to do.
	They need people to command, they need different ways to enhance their totalitarian controls.
	And so, unfortunately, this concept of a national divorce would never be amicably agreed to because Democrats need us.
	Otherwise, who would they tell what to do?
	Who would they tell how to read, live their lives?
	And there were a couple other zingers here from Marjorie Taylor Greene on Twitter today: President's Day 2023.
	Zelensky can't even wear a tie as he greets the president of the United States.
	He gladly takes our money in sweatshirts and t-shirts, but Biden is dressed up so insulting.
	I completely agree, Marjorie.
	She also puts out this one: impeach Biden or give us a national divorce.
	We don't pay taxes to fund foreign countries' wars who aren't even NATO allies.
	We aren't sending our sons and daughters to die for foreign borders and foreign democracy.
	America is broke.
	Criminals and cartels reign, and you are a fool if you voted for Biden.
	She's absolutely right.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene on fire.
	She might be the most on fire politician we have.
	And so, good for her.
	And I completely agree.
	But again, on the issue of national divorce.
	And you'd think, hey, smaller government, get rid of the Fed.
	You'd think that the left and the right would both agree with that.
	It used to be the left that was anti-big government.
	It used to be the left that was anti-Fed.
unidentified		Not anymore.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Not anymore.
		Now they need you.
		So unfortunately, the idea of a national divorce won't work because the left could never agree to it.
		Because if they don't have us to tell what to do and how to live, then they have no reason to exist.
		That's the entire purpose of their existence is to find more people to subjugate.
		And if we leave, if we leave the dinner table, if we get up and leave the playground, if we leave the party, well, then they can't tell us what to do anymore.
		They're not going to let us leave.
		That's how tyrants and fascists work.
		So with that, I want to open the phone lines to get your response to those two questions.
		Let's not get too long-winded, but we're going to take 40 minutes of phone calls on the national divorce issue and on the should gay couples be allowed to adopt issue.
		Before I do that, ladies and gentlemen, we got to tell you about my friends at metapce.com.

unidentified		All right.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So let me get the phone number here for you.
		And again, our question or questions of the night: should gay couples be allowed to adopt?
		And what are your thoughts on the concept of a national divorce?
		I don't know if that one is much up for a debate.
		I think I pretty much settled the debate.
		I think I explained my logic on that deal.
		But the gay couples adoption one, you know, this is an interesting one because really, I see the benefits and I see the downsides because there's all kinds of issues already at foster homes.
		And we don't, you know, we do like seeing babies getting adopted and that's a good thing.
		But, you know, you also open up the door to predators.
		And when it comes to this issue of gay couples adopting, you know, we've already got a bad history there and we've seen where the left has gone.
		You give them an inch, they take a mile.
		You give them a thimble of power.
		They'll find a way to conquer the world with it.
		And so that's just what you worry about with the left of anything.
		And it's really only the left that wants the access to kids with stuff like this.
unidentified		It's not conservatives.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's liberals.
		It's not Republicans.
		It's Democrats.
		At least that's what I have noticed.
		So the number 747-200-5566-747-200560.
		Excuse me.
		I can't even get my number right.
		That's embarrassing.
		That's just embarrassing.
		Just forget that ever happened.
		Just forget it.
		That never happened.
		The number is 747-200-5560 is the actual number.
		So the people that had it on speed dial were probably a little tripped up there.
		All right.
		First caller of the night.
		What's your name and where are you from?
		Sounds like we got a whole family there.
		Hello.
		That's interesting.
		Very interesting.
		Thank you for the call.
		Truly, truly a lot, a lot going on there.
		All right.
		What's your name?
		are you from?
		What's up, Steve?
		What do you think?
		What issue are you calling in about tonight?
		Well, that's interesting.
		And apparently, people are saying they can't hear the phone audio.
		So I'll explain to them your answer, see if I can't fix that.
		Let me see what we got here.
		It's typical.
		I don't know why it does this, but they change my settings on.
		See, that's the problem with conservatives having to build our own tech platforms, as we're constantly having to pressure test everything.
		Uh, but uh, okay, I think it won't, hey, guys, let's uh let's have our guest Steve on the line here.
		Can you guys hear Steve now?
		Steve, tell them something good.
		Well, that's probably going to be the answer.
		That's probably the answer that most people would give is my guess.
		But there's going to be a lot of debate on this issue because of bad stories like adopted couples pimping out kids, and you know what happens with that.
		Well, we have to be careful because we don't want to politicize something like that, right?
		And so, we have to be careful not to fall into that trap.
		But I'm not really, I don't know, the issue doesn't really get brought up.
		The issue really doesn't get brought up in conservative chats in conservative groups, even from conservatives that are gay.
		I mean, I just don't really hear that issue.
		I don't really see that issue.
		It seems to be more of a thing the left is stressing, and I'm guessing it's for the same old reason: they want access to children for whatever the reason is.
		They just they just continue to push for access to children in all these different ways and all these different angles.
		You're always going to have that.
		You're always going to have that.
		And that's why you don't want good people to suffer for because of what bad people do or might do.
		But this is an issue involving children.
		And so I think you've got to be a little more careful.
		All right, man.
		Thank you for the call.
		All right, guys, I can't decide whether you can hear him or not.
		And so, some people are saying they can hear it, some people are saying they can't.
		And this is the problem: people complain that I don't read the chat boards.
		You understand?
		If I sat here and read the chat boards, then the whole thing would turn into a chaotic mess.
		Trying to keep up with the crazies in the chat boards is impossible.
		And so, I wish it could be not so crazy, but you get people in there that try to mess with you, you get people in there that throw you stuff that's not even real.
	And so I wish I could sit here and respond to everything.
	Now, the problem is apparently no audio on the calls.
	Yeah, so I'm just going to pop up another caller here and we're going to see what we have because this makes no sense.
	Like, you got to understand, folks.
	I'm not a novice here.
	I've been in audio engineering for my whole life.
	There is no reason why I'm sitting here and you can't get audio from the caller.
	None at all.
	All my audio goes through this board and I can hear it and it's showing up on my computer.
	So I have no idea what's going on.
	We'll continue to try to troubleshoot it.
	But let's go to our next caller.
	At least I can hear you.
	And so I guess that's what's important, right?
	So what's your name and where are you from?
	What's up, Spike?
	Well, we can at least talk to one another, and we'll see what's going on with it.
	I'll just continue to try to stress test this, but it's there's no, I don't know, there's literally nothing more I can do.
	I have the sound going to so it's just crazy, man.
	but go ahead.
	Well, he brought it today.
	Now, look, I got to tell you, look, I'm a person that wishes we could actually exist in a common sense and logic world.
	And we could say, yes, clearly, if you're of the leftist Democrat mindset, you're mentally disturbed and you shouldn't adopt children.
	Absolutely.
	If you are a modern day liberal progressive, you are mentally disturbed and impaired and should not get access to children.
unidentified		But we have to be careful not to politicize things like that.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Even if we are right, but that's still a dangerous road to not go down.
unidentified		Oh, I agree.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I think, if anything, there should be...
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		And it's been a problem in foster homes, too.
		So it's not just like, it's not like this is just a gay issue.
unidentified		Okay, time out.
unidentified		Spike, Spike, Spike.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
unidentified		This is hilarious.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Everybody's claiming that they could hear the audio.
		I've literally not touched anything.
		I have not touched anything.
		And they claim that it works.
		And now they're saying it's not working.
		I'm being sabotaged.
unidentified		We're going to see if we can figure it out.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, I wish everybody could hear you because you're making sense.
		Yeah, Gerald Salente is amazing.
		He got a little emotional today, but I can't imagine.
		I mean, dealing with this, watching your country, watching your country just get destroyed from within.
unidentified		Yeah.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And he's been around forever.
unidentified		He knows what he's talking about.
unidentified		Yep.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And he promoted the he promoted the March for Peace.
		I don't see anybody doing a march for peace.
		Amen to that, Spike.
		Amen to that.
		Thank you for calling in.
		Guys, everybody trying to find the solution.
		I mean, there's no point in me explaining what's going on.
		And the stuff that you're suggesting, I appreciate, but it does not come into play here at all.
		So something else weird going on.
		And I think it's this board.
		And these boards are nice, but when I was learning how to use it, I saw a bunch of people complaining about these boards glitching a lot.
		And so maybe that's what it is.
		but really it makes no sense so i'm gonna the problem is i have a guest on the phone And if the phone isn't working, then that becomes a bit of a problem.
		And you know what's even more frustrating about this?
		Because people are claiming it's not Bluetooth.
		I'm not on a phone.
		There's no physical phone.
		There's no Bluetooth.
		The phone is directly on the computer, which is where the audio from this microphone is going and the audio from the phone calls are going.
		And they're both up and light green on the board.
		So it makes absolutely no sense.
		But I may have to reboot because I have a guest that's going to be on the phone line.
		Let me try.
		Let's see here.
		Check, check.
		That still works.
		We're just going to try it all.
		We're just going to try everything.
		I think there's a caller here.
		Let's test it with one more caller.
unidentified		All right.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Who do we have on the line?
		Where are you at?
		Where are you from?
		What's your name?
		What's up, Dave?
		Well, I think we're smarter than that because what I see going down is at the end of the day, we're going to be able to filter out what the issues actually are.
		And we know it's not skin color.
		And so we'll be able to know what the real problems are and what the real problems aren't.
		Like we can talk about having a father in the household or we can make an association to drug use or who knows or pharmaceutical pills.
		And so we'll be able to filter out what the real problems are.
		But as I discussed earlier, when you're forced as a tolerant person to, let's say as a white person, you're forced to sit there and just accept how bad you are, but it's just not real.
		It's not right.
		It's not true.
		And then you're sitting there and you're watching a gay couple, you know, brag about how they have this designer baby as they're touching it and kissing it awkwardly for their social media video.
		It's just, you just know that that's not right.
		Well, that's the big thing.
		That's the big thing right there.
		And Thomas Sowell did a debate about that exact thing, and he explained it better than anybody.
		But that's pretty much the summarization right there: is that a man and a man can't make a baby.
		A man and a woman can make a baby, but if there's a medical issue, then it makes sense for them to go through other means to try to have a child.
		Whereas with a gay couple, they could never have a baby anyway.
		And you know what else we do?
		Because I do it too, and you just did it.
		It's like we're in this position where we have to say, Hey, I'm tolerant.
		Like, hey, I like this.
unidentified		I like that.
unidentified		I'm that should be a given.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		We're all good people.
		We're normal people.
		Like, this is okay.
		But this is the trap.
		This is this trap that we have to exist in now because the left always assumes the worst of you.
		The left wants to make it you assume the worst about everybody you see and assume this about this person and this about this person because of what they wear or what they look like or their skin color.
		And so we're in this constant defense position of, hey, I'm okay.
		I'm tolerant.
		I'm cool.
		I'm just here to get along.
		No, every that should already be accepted.
		We should all be living life that way.
		For the most part, we are.
		It's just this new thing of this identity politics that the left is obsessed with that we have ourselves in this defensive position.
		And really, it's just going to reach a time where we just have to learn.
		And I think Ronda Santis is the best example of this.
		Just ignore them.
		There's no point.
		Don't even respond to them.
		Don't even, when they tell you to jump, don't even move an inch.
		When they start threatening you and coming after you, don't let it bother you because that's what this is.
		This is like a screaming tantrum of a toddler.
		This is like a toddler having a screaming tantrum in their crib.
		You just got to let the toddler cry itself out.
		That's the left here.
		All right.
		Thank you so much for the call.
		Unfortunately, I don't know if we were able to get any of that audio.
		So I don't know what's going on.
		People are also saying that they couldn't hear the audio from the beginning.
		It makes no sense, folks.
		It makes absolutely no sense.
		Nothing has changed on this board.
		I've never touched anything on this board.
		I never changed any audio settings or nothing.
		And now all of a sudden it just, it's, you just can't hear it, huh?
		That's unbelievable.
		That is truly an incredible thing.
		But so you could hear the stuff in the beginning, but you can't hear the callers.
		This makes absolutely no sense at all.
		Absolutely no sense.
		All right, what's your name?
		where you're from.
		So I'm glad you called in.
		I doubt anybody can hear you at all because I'm getting the technological curse that follows me everywhere I go.
		Many people don't know this about me.
		I don't like to talk about it, but I am technologically cursed.
		Stuff just breaks down around me.
		It doesn't make any sense.
		Now, I want you to know if you're watching, just don't even bother talking right now because nobody can hear you but me.
		I want you to know I have received your artwork.
		I also read your letter.
		It was very nice and touching.
		And so, folks, Mike here that's called in, he was able to get me the latest rendition, as you can see here.
		And so I will tell you that I am going to be ordering a custom frame for this.
		And I'm going to, I haven't decided where I'm going to put it yet, but I'm going to be ordering a custom frame and I'm going to have this thing hanging in my house proudly.
		And so, folks, hope you can see this here.
		I'm trying to get it in front of the camera.
		But this was sent to me by my friend Mike, who's called in right now.
		And it was very cool stuff.
		He also wrote me a kind letter.
		And this stuff means a lot to me, the personal gifts.
		And I know you put a lot of work into this, Mike.
		And so I appreciate that.
	And I appreciate your kind letter as well, my friend.
	Let's chat another day, though, because I'm having audio issues with this stream for no known reason.
	And it's even crazier that you guys could hear everything else except the calls.
	I'm telling you, this is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.
	And I've seen all kinds of audio anomalies in my life.
	This is one of the crazier things I've seen.
	I don't even know if he knows what the hell's going on.
	I don't.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	And the fact that I can play all other audio coming through this board and this port except a caller is insane.
	And everybody that's saying, everybody that's saying reboot, I don't know what difference that would make.
	I don't know how that would make any difference at all.
	It's not the headset.
	It's something going on in this window is what I'm thinking.
	So let's try this.
	We're doing live troubleshooting, folks.
	That's how serious we are tonight.
	Is we're doing live troubleshooting.
	Good lord.
	So let's try it this way then.
unidentified		Maybe if we did this.
unidentified		All right.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Let's troubleshoot live on air.
		This is what you tuned in for tonight.
		This is what you really wanted to hear was us troubleshooting live on air.
		So I'm going to see if maybe this will solve the problem.
		So somebody give me a call now: 747-200-5560.
		We were talking gay marriage and national divorce, but nothing works.
		All right.
		What's your name?
		Where are you from?
		I can hear you.
		I've always been able to hear you, though.
		That's never been the problem.
		What's up, Joshua?
		Oh, yeah, she definitely changed her approach.
		She definitely changed her demeanor.
		But I mean, we're used to this cackling goon.
		We're used to listening to this cackling goon.
		And so anytime she tries to be serious now, it's just going to be an utter embarrassment for her.
		Well, that's because that's a fair representation of what she is.
		I mean,
		and I'm sorry, what are you talking about now?
		You're talking about if we did the national divorce.
		Well, yeah, I mean, that just leads into my, that just leads into the bigger issue, which is the left could never do a national divorce because they would constantly be nipping at our heels, telling us how to live and how bad we are.
		And that's everything.
		And look, then the divorce, the whole purpose of the divorce for the right, for conservatives, the whole purpose would be we want them to leave us alone.
		The whole purpose for them not wanting to divorce is that they don't want to leave us alone.
		Yeah, well, then we would know, wouldn't we?
unidentified		That would uh, that would solve that issue real quick.
		As if there's any debate before we go, I just wanted to say that it's kind of nice that your audio's being funky, so so this doesn't come off as a plug across your air.
		But I um, I'm a developer and I made a game, and I so I want to send it to you sometime.
		Um, it's cool, it's on Steam, it's called Command Heroes.
		I know you were playing Pokémon and stuff, so um, yeah, I want to send you a free copy.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's just are you on uh, are you on Twitter?
		Yeah, oh my gosh, this is crazy.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, ladies and gentlemen.
		Without touching anything, I have solved the audio problem.
unidentified		Are you on uh, are you on Gregory?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Now, this is funny because I'm hearing an echo, but that's just on your end because I'm listening because you're still listening to the show while you're talking.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		But now they're saying that they can hear you.
unidentified		Are you serious?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I haven't done anything.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I literally have not touched anything, and now it works.
unidentified		Okay, all right.
unidentified		Oh, I say I'm not trying to plug.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, I was asking though.
		I was asking, are you um, are you on Twitter?
		Because I can follow you there and you can send it there.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah, for sure.
unidentified		My personal is JW Joshua Walker, or the company is uh Vicious Labs.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Take out the I. Hold on a second.
		Hold on a second.
		Where, where, um, what would be the best one for you to send it to me?
unidentified		I do do vicious.
		So it's V C I O U S Labs.
		If you look for command heroes, hopefully it would come up.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		If I search command heroes, yeah.
		Yeah, I got Twitter's search function.
		Twitter's search function has been uh pretty messed up lately, actually.
unidentified		Um, yeah, and if it goes to Steam, then the Twitter link is on the Steam store page.
		But uh, I'm subtly putting in little little hints.
		Like, we have a character who's actually Lieutenant Colonel Alan West, if you're familiar with him.
		Oh, sure.
		And just, yeah, yeah, little, little secret things like that in there.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm not, I'm not finding you.
unidentified		Oh, well, the seed has been planted.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is frustrating.
		Uh, I'm gonna find you before I get my guest on the line, and somehow magically the phone starts working when you come on.
		So, I at least owe it to you.
		You, you fixed the phone somehow, nobody knows how.
		It's a mystery, but you've done it.
unidentified		You want me to tell them, you may tell them my perspective on the divorce, national divorce?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		No, I want you to spell your Twitter account out for me one more time.
unidentified		I can chat it too: V C I O U S L A. Here we go.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I got it.
unidentified		Nice.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		We got it, guys.
		There it is.
		We've done it.
		Man, that was a I'll tell you, that was a piece of work right there, guys.
		That was a man.
		That was like a struggle session of a first hour, wasn't it?
		Good lord, with the sound.
		And now it's like, I don't even know how I fixed it.
		So I don't even know how I can address it for the future.
		It's fun.
		What the?
		I'll tell you, man.
		And now it's not even something weird's going on here tonight.
		Something weird is going on here tonight.
		I'm telling you that right now.
		It's look, it's not letting me send him a message.
		Like, why can't I just send the message?
		Just says no.
		Just totally rejects it.
		See, I don't actually, I got to tell you, I don't really watch live streamers.
		Does this happen a lot to live streamers?
		Does this is this something that happens a lot?
		I imagine it has to.
		These guys all go live from their houses.
		They all do the one-man show.
		Like, this is something, this is this has to happen to live streamers a lot.
		I just, I don't really watch live streamers, so I don't know.
		You know, when I'm with the crew at Infowars, if we have issues, we've got entire teams that jump on it, and we've got fail-safes, and we've got backups, and we've got safety nets.
		I'm just wondering, guys, I'm genuinely asking, does this happen to uh, does this happen to live streamers a lot?
		I would imagine it has, I would imagine it has to.
		But what's really bothering me is that I did update my internet here, and so the internet, the stream quality, should be noticeably better.
		The stream quality should be noticeably better.
		Are you guys noticing that?
		It should be all right.
		Well, we are about to be joined by a guest.
		We are about to be joined by a guest.
		And we're going to be talking about something, hopefully, here shortly with the guest.
		We're going to be talking about something that I really felt in my gut at the beginning of the year, and then I felt in my gut again in the beginning of the month.
		And I told people my spidey senses were tingling, and I told people I told people I was getting all my money out of banks and that I was expecting bank runs.
		And I think that most people now have seen that that was the case.
		And I've had people reach out and say they're doing similar things, if not the exact same man.
		Man oh my gosh Guys I'm having a fun one tonight.
		I'll tell you that.
		Now, the calls are still coming in.
		I could take calls the rest of the night.
		I got a bunch of content, but I got to tell you, I am just, I am just, I am having a Monday night.
		I am having a true Monday night.
		And it's funny because people understand.
		People understand.
		They go through stuff.
		And, but you know what?
		God has always had my back for some reason, even when I don't deserve it.
		Even when I don't deserve it, God has had my back.
		And so I am eternally grateful.
		And honestly, I just people always ask me about stress and stuff.
		Folks, when you learn to just give it to God and when you just learn it's God's plan, you just learn not to sweat it as much anymore.
		Now, the good news is my guest is on the line.
		And so, as I was saying, I had my warning at the beginning of the year to get ready for the craziest year of your life.
		And then at the beginning of February, I said, My spidey senses are tingling.
		Get all your money out of banks and start thinking about how you want to protect your wealth.
		And one of the most time-tested, foolproof ways is precious metals.
		And so we're joined by the precious metals expert, the precious metals extraordinaire, and I would even say precious metals enthusiast Tony Arderburn from the Wise Wolf Gold Exchange and the leader of the pack at wolfpack.gold.
		Tony, thanks for joining me on this Monday night.
		How's the farm tonight?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		The farm is great.
		I hope you get it.
		Am I coming in loud and clear?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		You're coming in beautifully.
		You know, who knows what the soundboard is doing right now?
		I'm sure the chat will let me know whether or not they can hear you here shortly.
		But I got to tell you, here's somebody.
		You've been doing live streams before.
		You know how this stuff goes.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Well, of course.
		And I'm out here in my off-grid farm.
		I've got one bar.
		I would have normally stayed in town and talked to you from my studio, but my wife's out of town and somebody's got to be here for the chickens.
		I mean, you got to guard them with your life now.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		The wildlife out there is going wild or what?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Like the raining down from above from a Biden chemical disaster or what?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I've got chickens to protect.
		You know, I harvest my eggs every morning, and we've had some problems with hawks and predators, and I just don't like to leave them overnight.
		So, I'm out here and hopefully coming in loud and clear with my one bar here in my off-grid cabin.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		One bar is better than none.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		How's your egg production been?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		It's been fantastic.
		But, you know, my chickens eat organic feed and they free range up here on top of the mountain.
		So I haven't had any issues.
		We did get some feed from tractor supply a while back, but I'm pretty sure my wife Melissa has been getting a lot of organic stuff the last six or nine months.
		So no issue.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's amazing.
		The free range chickens that are that are not getting the organic feed seem to not be having the trouble laying the eggs.
		It seems to be the people getting the big store feed and keeping them in the cage that has the problem.
		But Tony, you know, you and I have talked about, we've talked about a lot of issues over the years and we've talked about the future.
		And, you know, something hit me more so than ever.
		And I would say I would kind of hedge a little bit.
		You know, I had some savings and I had some plans for the future.
		And I basically pulled all my hedge this month and just said, I'm going into full-on bet that this year is going to be so crazy, you got to go into survival mode and check all the boxes for tomorrow and not next year, let alone five years or 10 years.
		And part of the process for me, and I know for you over the years, has been diversifying your wealth, but specifically in precious metals.
		And so do you think now more than ever?
		I mean, to me, even you look at the crypto market, to me, precious metals is the place to store your wealth right now.
		I mean, to me, you're not going to have the short-term gains that you might get lucky with in crypto, but you know, you're going to have a protected asset.
		And if anything, I think precious metals have been synthetically, the value been kept down.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I agree with you.
		You know, it's something that the reason that you use precious metals is to store value because gold and silver are money.
		And of course, our dollar is currency.
		It's not actually money anymore.
		It stopped being money technically in 1971, but really in 1933.
		You know, Owen, if you had a silver dollar made in 1900, that Morgan silver dollar would buy you the exact same amount of things that it would have in the time of George Washington because there was no inflation between 1800 or so and 1933 because we had a bimetallic standard.
		A lot of people don't realize the reason that you have inflation is because you have an expansion of the money supply and of course manipulation.
		And the only way to really guard against that, because our ancestors were able to do that, with, you know, you could take what little gold and silver you could save up from your work.
		You could bury it in the backyard.
		You could dig up a silver dollar 20 years later and it'd be a dollar.
		You can't do that anymore.
		And the rate is accelerating.
		I mean, when I was 20 years old, it was the year 2000, the debt of the U.S. was $5 trillion.
		So it took us from 1776 to the year 2000 to hit $5 trillion in debt.
		By the time I was 30 years old, 10 years later, it was 10 trillion.
		And then so on and so forth.
		By the time I was 40, it was 25 trillion.
		And now it's 30 trillion and climbing.
		So that's not going away.
		The destruction of the dollar is really built into the system.
		You know, we see the emergence of the BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and soon to be Saudi Arabia.
		That's 40% plus of the world's population, Owen.
		And they want a different system.
		They're tired of our manipulation.
		They're tired of our elites weaponizing the dollar.
		We have 36 sanctions in 40 different countries.
		And again, that's just not sustainable.
		And those countries want to get out of that system.
		They want their own commodity-based system, what a basket of currencies.
		And so I think we're going to see a big shakeup.
		And normalcy bias is going to get people really bad.
		I don't wish these things.
		I mean, I hope that I'm wrong about a lot of the stuff when it comes to currency because it's going to be so disastrous.
		But you see people with that normalcy bias, just listening to Jim Kramer over there on CNBC, thinking that I just get into the right stock.
		And I'm just going, guys, the entire monetary system is in question.
		And that is the gravity of the situation is there's going to be a shakeup.
		And I think the big question is, Owen, what are the elites going to do to try to save their dollar petro-dollar-based system?
		That's the scary part.
		And you can look no further to things like Joe Biden landing in Ukraine today if you want to know how far they'll go to save it.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, and sadly, I don't even think it's about that.
		I think it's about saving their own wealth and their own assets.
		I don't think they're necessarily interested in saving the dollar for the rest of us.
		They've got their own, they've got their own plans.
		But, you know, what I find, you know, what I find the most dangerous about this is because you bring up the normalcy bias.
		You know, Americans have had it so good.
		In fact, most Americans alive today have had it so good.
		We really don't even know how good we've had it.
		I'm talking about myself.
		We've had it so good in this country that we don't even know how good we've had it.
		We've been on top of the world.
		We've been the leader of the world.
		We've been the innovators.
		We've been the engineers.
		We've been the leaders of the free world.
		And because of that, the world power, this is going away.
		And it's by design.
		And Biden is part of it.
		And this power move out of the East is part of it.
		And people just don't get it, Tony.
		They don't understand that this is America in collapse and the currency is probably going to collapse with it if we can't save it.
		And so it's part of that normalcy bias where we just haven't really seen the things I think we're going to see in the coming years.
		I mean, just look at where we're at right now.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, Owen, you look at history.
		In 1979, the day I was born on December 26th, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan and they were considered the mighty Soviet Union.
		And it looked like America was in decline.
		They called it Malays.
		That was what Jimmy Carter described it as.
		11 years later to the day, the Soviet Union disappeared off the face of the earth and broke into 16 pieces.
		Things happen very quickly.
		Now, would you like any Soviet-era rubles?
		Would you want to hold on to those dollars, those issues of currency in that country that's no more?
		Of course not.
		And that's the thing, is things pass away.
		I do think that America will survive.
		The problem is, is the American empire is not going to, and that's going to catch so many people off guard around the world.
		You know, I mean, the dollar is the world's reserve currency, Owen.
		And that is, I think, you could even describe the dollar as on some kind of hospice right now.
		It's being kept comfortable on its way out the door.
		And, you know, 80% of all the $100 bills in existence aren't in the United States.
		People use the dollar around the world.
		And again, that's going to change.
		You can see the shakeup and the signposts are all around us.
		There's warning bells going off in the night.
		So I'm with you on big, you know, when you texted me not too long ago, do you feel something in the wind?
		Do you feel change and something big?
		And I said, yes, I do.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, let me get the date of that text.
		I'm going to pull that up.
		Let me see when that was.
		That had to be about a month ago.
unidentified		Yeah.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		It's right at it or three weeks.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I would look on my phone, but I'm afraid it would.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Why don't you just keep the one bar going where you got it?
		And we'll just, let me see if I can find it here.
		Well, of course, I'm not finding it, but it was probably about a month or so ago.
		But yeah, I mean, and so, and so this is why I've, I mean, I said this on the air.
		I meant it.
		I'm not messing around.
		I pretty much drained all my bank accounts.
		I didn't, I didn't shut them down because I do want to have it, you know, keep them open for obvious reasons.
		But I pretty much drained all my bank accounts, trying to get everything into gold or assets.
		I'm not really too trusting of crypto.
		I like the concept.
		I'd like to see it succeed.
		I just think it has too many enemies at this point, and it's not going to be applicable in the near future.
		And so that's why precious metals to me is just the obvious answer.
		It's proven.
		And here's the other beauty about it.
		And this is the one thing crypto people don't like to talk about.
		If the internet goes down, what are you going to do with your crypto?
		No answer to that.
		Well, if the internet goes down and you've got precious metals, gold coins, silver coins, something like that, we can have a system of currency and trade immediately just by possessing these things.
		It's been proven in time.
		I don't think it'll be that hard of a concept for us to re-adopt.
		And so here's what's amazing, though.
		We talk about solutions and why Wolfpack.gold is so smart to me.
		Subscriptions have always been popular.
		It used to be you get your subscription to your magazine or you get your subscription to your cigar club or your wine club.
		Now you've got your favorite internet services.
		Subscriptions have always been an in thing and people like having their subscriptions.
		This is the first ever subscription that actually gives you a return value in a precious metal.
		But also explain to what you explained to me why joining Wolfpack.gold, this is beyond just, hey, we're doing gold buys.
		Explain why Wolfpack.gold and being part of the pack gives you more purchasing power because that's the key here.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we cut the fat out of the purchase.
		And the more people that are, we've got hundreds of members now, but the more people that join, the better deals I'm able to buy into.
		What it really boils down to is we've got a monthly membership program.
		It starts at $50 on the Lone Wolf program, goes all the way up to the Sage Wolf at $1,000.
		We cap it at $1,000.
		You can sign up using your card, your credit card, or PayPal.
		And what we do is we go and buy precious metals for you, usually in buy-ins from the trading floor in Dallas or other wholesalers or customers that we trust.
		We'll verify everything.
		We'll put an invoice in each package and say, hey, this is what you bought.
		Say it's $50.
		Here's what your fees were on credit card.
		Here's what your shipping was.
		Here's what your coin cost or your bullion.
		Here's what your bar and all the other items.
		And then we do a comparison and we show you what you would have paid.
		And a lot of times you're taking care of that shipping cost.
		You're absorbing the credit card fees because we're saving you by doing that and getting you unique products.
		And like we start, the next tier is 125.
		A lot of times we'll put a little bit of gold in there too, like fractional gold, like grams.
		So it's really a neat program.
		I'm really proud of it.
		We've been working on it for about a year now, Owen.
		And like I said, we've got hundreds of members.
		I did a podcast the other day and I got 12 new signups this morning waiting for me at the office.
		So we're growing.
		But the cool thing about it, not just the monthly membership, set it and forget it, and you've got your savings account.
		We're building a network of people.
		And right now I'm talking to my web people because we're going to add a Telegram channel.
		Obviously, my podcast is already attached to it.
		We have a special shopping cart and deals that happen.
		Like if something's not, well, like an ounce of gold is too much for any kind of Wolfpack package.
		So if I'm buying gold at the shop, I've got offices in Branson, Missouri, as you know.
		And we just opened up a satellite location in Denison, Texas, up in North Texas by the Red River.
		So we've got those two locations.
		We'll be buying stuff there.
		And we can offer things that come across our desk to Wolfpack members.
		So you can connect with other members.
		Eventually, you'll be able to get exclusive deals.
		You get to set your savings account.
		And really, the great thing about Wolfpack is that it's starting to get everybody prepared to understand how to trade metals, how to value metals, because we're going to show you in your invoices.
		But really, it's a bulwark against the central bank digital currency that's coming.
		And I don't think that doesn't get enough airtime.
		It doesn't get enough warning.
		I know I'm doing the best I can to talk about it because it is an evil system that they're designing.
		That's going to be, I think, the next phase after the dollar loses a great deal of its luster.
		And they'll say they'll use that as like a problem reaction solution, you know, fix-all to it.
		So we're building a network.
		I mean, we're in it.
		We're in the infancy, really, of Wolfpack.
		We got a long way to go, but it's really got it.
		It's got a lot of cool features to it.
		And I'm really proud of it.
		It fits well with my, you know, obviously with my business, and you've known me for years.
		If you ever want to just make a purchase, you can always go direct with us.
		We don't have a minimum.
		But Wolfpack kind of just sets you on it, you know, gets you, gets you on a savings plan.
		It's automatic, set it and forget it.
		And we're really excited about it.
		I think it's cool.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And that's what I like about it is the subscription level where, like you said, just set it and forget it.
		And I got to tell you too, folks.
		You know, my grandfather, he was a world traveler and he was a Navy man.
		And he also was an executive in a bunch of businesses in foreign lands as well.
		And he was a big coin collector.
		And so my grandfather had just the wildest collection of coins from all over the world.
		Everywhere he'd go, he would collect a coin.
		And you've got the similar thing going.
		When you send me these silver coins, it's like I've got a coin from like 10, 20 different countries in this package that you just sent me.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you've got, well, we've, I was collecting your box for a while.
		And, and, you know, I would see you on air and see you at the Infowar studio.
		And I think that guy's working hard.
		So if I had a good day, I'd throw an extra coin in there.
		You know, not to mention the ones that you purchased yourself.
		So, yeah, you know, it's a it's a great business.
		Um, you know, if you go into the gold and silver business with the with the intent that, you know, you're going to see if you can educate people and uplift people, you become a different kind of shop.
		You know, one of the things that I noticed when I, because I like coins and I like gold and silver, but a lot of times I feel like if you didn't know what you were doing, that dealer is going to find that out.
		They're going to see how much you know to determine how they should talk to you.
		And I never liked that.
		It seemed like so much of a magic trick or a guessing game.
		So I just, you know, I level with people when they come in.
		I just always, you know, I'm in broadcasting just like you.
		So I try to perfect, you know, getting that trying to tell people what's around the corner, you know, with not only central bank digital currencies, but fiat currency in general and what's happening to our world because of that and just condense that into a two-minute thing.
		You know, why is it important?
		What's what is actual money?
		It's really great to see kids, you know, kids that come in that have an interest in buying silver or want to know about a coin.
		And then you get to, you know, go in the vault and come back, talk to them about, you know, this is a $5 gold piece, you know, with a $5 Indian.
		You know, do you know how much that's worth today?
		You know, that $5 is worth $500.
		You know, why is that?
		And explain it to them.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, and more and more, I think the realization people are having is my dollar's not going as far.
		I've got this savings account that's really doing nothing for me.
		My biggest concern was not even necessarily the dollar losing value or going down, but bank runs.
		You know, I'm afraid bank runs are going to be coming.
		And you're going to see stories.
		We're already seeing this around the world.
		Nigeria just happened last week.
		You go to the bank, you say, Hey, I want to make this withdrawal.
		They say, Sorry, we don't have your money.
		And so, what are you going to do if all your money, all your wealth is stored in a bank and you can't get access to it?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		You know, banks don't like cash.
		They'll tell you that.
		And you have to make a I've got a pretty good bank here in Missouri and I've got one in Texas too, but that doesn't mean that they're immune to regulation and all the pressures being put on them by the Fed.
		They want to do away with cash.
		I mean, they talked about it.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, of course, they don't have the cash.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		They need the central, they need the digital currency to save their ass.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		That's the point.
		They're trying to wean everybody off cash.
		You saw that during COVID 1984.
		You know, the cash has the cooties on it or whatever.
		It's got the most deadliest virus in history, whatever.
		And that they push that.
		You know, again, the issue with all of this, Owen, is that you're coming back to people figuring out that they're going to have to deal with the fact that the Federal Reserve is printing the dollar into oblivion.
		80% of all the dollars ever made remain in the last 48 months.
		That's unprecedented.
		That's never happened before.
		Record inflation.
		It would be worse if we weren't the world's reserve currency and running the Ponzi scheme worldwide.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Which is on its way out.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		It's on its way out.
		And again, that's what I think people are recognizing this.
		I have more and more people coming into my shop.
		And even people in the regular markets are saying, hey, I've got an IRA or a 401k.
		How do I get this into like physical precious metals?
		We do that too.
		I put you in a, and I can roll over your existing IRA or 401k or start one for you, put you in physical metals, get you out of the way.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Those have been crashing in the last 48 months as well, correct?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Yes, it has not looked good in that in that sector.
		We've had a lot of people that wish they'd have got out sooner.
		Yeah.
		You know, it's tough.
		I mean, there's a lot that's, I mean, I have to keep banking because that's what I do, but I don't keep my wealth in there.
		You know, if I got, if I have, if I've earned anything, I'm going to put that into gold and silver.
		I'm going to put that into land, timber.
		I'm going to put that into my farm.
		I'm going to invest in myself.
		And that's, you know, right now is a good opportunity for people to get their priorities right, invest in themselves.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Skills and assets is what I'm preaching.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Skills and assets.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Amen to that.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And I consider precious metals to be an asset at this point.
		And it just kind of hits you when you start to see this going on as well.
		I mean, I understand there's convenient reasons to keep your money in the bank and have a savings account and everything.
		But man, I mean, like that, you can just lose everything.
		Or like that, you can just lose access to everything.
		I mean, we're really kind of at that fracture right now, just a hairline fracture away from this thing just snapping off entirely.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's exactly right.
		You look at what governments can do to seize accounts.
		You look at what happens when there's a panic.
		I mean, like the Canadian truckers are a great example.
		You know, they were getting donations from all these places and they just start freezing and going after accounts, trying to go after and did, were able to get out access to crypto wallets because they were tied to exchanges.
		You know, so people need to realize those are fragile systems.
		The banking system is so regulated.
		And I mean, you can go like, you know, if you try to go get your cash out, they're going to talk you out of it, especially if you have, you know, $50,000 or $100,000.
		You can't get that in cash.
		Just make an appointment for that.
		I mean, I don't even know how I would do that.
		It's just not a typical thing.
		So, yeah, I mean, I'm any chance I get, I'm storing it in metals or, you know, because again, that's that's easy.
		For me, that just computes.
		You know, I take your listeners on a little bit of a history lesson.
		I mean, you look at August 15th, 1971.
		Richard Nixon interrupts an episode of Bonanza and takes us off the gold standard.
		Well, gold was $35 an ounce.
		It had been pegged at $35 an ounce since 1944 when they had the Bretton Woods conference to initiate the new financial world order after World War II.
		Well, other countries knew, Owen, we didn't have the gold.
		I mean, even the president of France, de Gaulle, he sent over a warship to pick up the French gold.
		They were turning their dollars back into gold.
		And we had taken the silver out of our coinage started in 1965.
		Lyndon Johnson debased the last bit of actual real money that we had.
		It was illegal to own gold.
		But I'll tell you what happened when Nixon took us off the gold standard.
		It was a free-for-all.
		And gold started to revalue what it actually should be in denomination of dollars.
		And by the end of the 1970s, Owen, gold had almost reached $900 an ounce.
		And that's in 1979.
		$900 in 1979 is like $3,000, $4,000 today.
		You know, so that's what happened in the 70s.
		They had to raise interest rates to the teams under Paul Volcker as head of the Fed at the time.
		So, I mean, we've seen metals, their prices are low compared to what they, what the destruction, the debasement of our currency is my point here.
		It's like you look at the prices, and I'm not telling you the prices are going to go up or you make a great investment.
		What I'm telling you is that gold hasn't really gone up.
		It's that you have to look at it in a counterintuitive way.
		Gold, a gold coin still buys you the same amount of commodities that it did 100 years ago, land, oil, groceries, livestock, about the same.
		A new suit.
		But the difference is that the currency that it was attached to when they were separated, the currency goes down.
		So that's what we're looking at with the dollar.
		I mean, you look at silver too as probably one of the most underrated places to park your savings because silver in 1980, Owen, was $50 an ounce.
		I mean, it's 21 and some change today.
		You know what's happened to the dollar since 1980?
		I mean, so again, give me a break.
		We're talking about massive manipulation in the markets to keep these prices so low on these metals.
		That's a proven fact.
		Central banks work hand in hand with large bullion houses to manipulate that price because that would run counter to their dollar hegemony.
		And that's the deal is that it's the dollar.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And if you think about it now, too, if you look at the bigger picture, wow, how perfect this plays out.
		You bring in the paper currency, allegedly backed by gold.
		Then you just say, never mind, it's not backed by gold.
		Now you just have this paper currency, which the value is inherent or it's in confidence.
		Well, okay, now you have a situation where you can devalue that currency to nothing or just say, We're not using this currency anymore, and now it's all digital.
		But what is the story, whether it's gold, whether it's cash?
		It's they don't want you to be able to have a transaction without any government interference.
		That's why they hate cash, and that's why they originally hated the idea of gold because there's no way the government can get in between you and I deciding to make a trade or do a deal with precious metals.
		That's what drives this government nuts.
		And so, this is why they're going after the digital currency.
		This is why they want everything on the grid because they want to be able to shut down your bank, shut down your card, shut down your car, put everything onto this centralized hub.
		And I mean, look, you got to at least have some sort of a buffer time so that you don't have to jump right into this.
		I mean, it might be inevitable when it's all said and done to exist.
		That's what they want, but you can at least have a buffer time if you have something of value, if you have something that you can trade and you have a community like you're talking about at Wolfpack.gold, it's going to be a lot, uh, it's going to be a lot easier to kind of live through that ugly transition phase, I would say.
		But for people that don't understand, I'm telling you, Tony truly is a precious metal enthusiast, also a great veteran.
		Uh, he and his wife, and he's also a gym owner, and so he could probably carry thousands of gold bars to your front door if you wanted him to.
		I don't think that's something he offers, but he could probably do a heavy lifting session right to your front door.
		So, wolfpack.gold, folks, this is the microphone.
		It's the wolfpack.gold microphone.
		And everything we do here that goes through the microphone is brought to you by wolfpack.gold.
		So, I love the idea.
		As soon as we talked about it, I knew I wanted to get on board with it.
		And I know there's going to be a lot of people that tune in.
		They're going to be on board with this as well.
		So, I know you're excited about this project, man.
		And I'm excited to be a part of it.
		And, folks, again, the bigger the Wolfpack gets, the more purchasing power that we have, as Tony described earlier.
		Now, now, Tony, let's put business aside for a second here, all right?
		Because we got two questions of the night.
		I want to give you a chance to respond to the two questions of the night tonight.
		All right.
		Let's start.
		And if you want to abstain, if you want to pass, nobody will judge you for that.
		All right.
		So if you're just saying I'm going to pass on this one, that's fine.
		We'll start with the first question.
		I played a video, and this was something I never really thought of before until I saw this video of a gay couple talking about this kid that they just adopted and how it was basically like they were treating it like a designer handbag and how they liked this and that.
		And they're going to carry it around and do a video with it.
		And so a debate that I don't really hear conservatives talk about much, even after that story of the couple adopting kids and pimping them out and raping them.
		Still, we didn't have the conversation.
		And that's, should gay couples be allowed to adopt?
		Throwing Tony right into the fire here.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Should gay couples be allowed to adopt?
		Well, you know, I'm kind of of the mind that that shouldn't even be a thing that the state has a part in.
		It's kind of like gay marriage.
		Should people of the same sex be allowed to marry?
		Why is the state involved in my marriage?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's kind of my takeaway, too.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		It's funny we both had that same kind of initial response.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Okay, good.
		I mean, the thing is, you know, you get into these murky waters because on a macro level, big picture, you want the nuclear family, the mother, the father, you know, the stable household.
		That's the most ideal for a child.
		But then you also, on the micro level, if you're honest, and you can probably find people of all kinds of backgrounds that are okay with kids and good with kids.
		And the thing is, you know, we start getting who can do what in the law, there's always going to be some bias there.
		And so I don't know.
		We live in a strange upside down.
		Any stance anybody takes on that, you know, you're just on the wrong side of whatever.
		And I'm just tired of the government being involved in any of those decisions.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's kind of where I like to base the foundation for everything.
		And it doesn't mean it's always black and white, but the foundation for everything is, do you, in general, support more government or less government?
		And so that's why I'm not surprised really that we had the same response, which is, you know, why is this even an issue of the state?
		Why is marriage even a thing?
		And that's separate from the adoption debate, but it's just like less government, the better, as far as I can see with most issues.
		All right.
		Now, on the second issue, this one you may be a little more inclined to respond to.
		Marjorie Taylor Greene says we need a national divorce between red states and blue states.
		What are your thoughts on the concept of a national divorce?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, gee, she might want to, you know, speaking of divorce, she looks really cozy with Kevin McCarthy just off the top of my head.
unidentified		I don't know.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I think Kevin McCarthy is more into Frank Lunch, though.
unidentified		So I don't know if that's a thing.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I think you may be right.
		A strange love triangle there.
		You know, that kind of rhetoric, you know, a divorce or whatever.
		You know, the problem with blue states, as you know, Owen, is that they're just red states that are held hostage by big cities.
		I mean, most of the country is red.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		That's a good point.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		That's a good point.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		They're literally just held hostage.
		I mean, you look at even some places in Oregon that just want to be part of another state.
		You know, like, you know, can we go over to, can we go over to our neighbor?
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, because they're just trying to get, they're just trying to get the Portland politics and the Portland BS out of their way.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		I mean, so, I mean, the thing is, if you look at the demographics of the country, it looks like that we're in the minority.
		I mean, I'm just talking about like people who have any semblance of being an American left.
		You would think that, oh, it's just the crazy woke mob runs.
		It's not true.
		It's not true.
		You look at the map and aside, and that's why, you know, Agenda 21 of the United Nations and Agenda 2030, these are all these plans to consolidate and get people into mega cities and make you eat bugs for Greta and Klaus Schwab.
		That is there so that they can control everything.
		It all happens from these major cities.
		I mean, Thomas Jefferson, that pretty much, and I'm paraphrasing, he thought it was just basically the death knell for liberty is coming out of these big cities.
		And, you know, that's what's, again, driving our politics.
		So, no, I don't, my initial reaction to that is no, I think that's, we already have these fake partisan divides on so many things.
		But no, blue states are mostly just people that are held hostage.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And the thing in a divorce is for it to work, both parties have to agree.
		And the blue, the Democrats will never agree to that because without telling us, without having us to tell what to do and how to live, they have no purpose.
		So they need us.
		They need us as subjects.
		And without us, they would no longer exist.
		So they could never do the divorce.
		They absolutely need us.
		So just I knew you'd have a, I knew you'd have a similar response to me on the adoption issue with the marriage issue.
		And then, you know, but as far as the national divorce is concerned, you're right.
		If you look at the map, most of these states that are blue are actually red states, and they're just overwhelmed by the population-dense areas.
		But Tony, thank God our founding fathers were so ahead of their time and so ingenious that they gave us the electoral college and a political system that even though the population dense areas are controlling, steering, and dictating our politics a lot, they haven't gotten full control of it yet.
		Thank goodness for the system we have.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I mean, thank you, it's a republic if you can keep it, just like Franklin said.
		And the reason it's a republic is because it has checks and balances.
		It's supposed to anyway.
		The enemy of liberty in our lifetime has been democracy.
		I mean, the more democracy you have, and I know this sounds really, you know, I mean, you can be an extremist from this point of view, but I don't think so.
		People say, well, you know, the voting increases our liberty, but that hasn't been the case.
		We've added more and more voting over the last hundred years.
		We're not freer.
		We're less free.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Well, you got dumb people voting.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		You have, and it's, it's, again, that's, they count on that.
		You know, the 17th Amendment's a good example.
		In 1913, the same year that they gave you the income tax in the Federal Reserve, they gave you the 17th Amendment.
		And the 17th Amendment is allowing the senators to run directly.
		And it used to, and in the Constitution, they were appointed by the state legislators and they could be recalled.
		So it was really important who your local state legislator was because they were going to pick your senators.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And those were localized elections.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		So this was something, you know, having getting to the Senate was not like it is today where you just have to find your favorite banker or multinational conglomerate or, you know, brought to you in part by Pfizer or whoever sponsors your campaign.
		It's not about the people of that state or that or the localities.
		It's about whatever financiers are going to.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		They spent like $300 million or something outrageous on the Fetterman campaign.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Now he can't even walk or talk.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I know.
		It's just, that's just the times in which we live.
		I mean, it is.
		Yeah.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I guess I just described the average Democrat voter, didn't I?
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		I mean, Oprah throwing her buddy Dr. Oz under the bus for Fetterman.
		I mean, it wasn't just the masses either.
		I mean, there's something about that guy.
		I don't know what code they were trying to implement, but there was something weird.
		He's just a representation of what something's wrong with our society at this point.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And it's part of an agenda, I think.
		The new victim class is going to be mentally ill people, and it's going to be this odd thing where liberals are finally admitting they're mentally ill, but they're going to present it as the new victim class so that they're above you.
		So it's the racial stuff is starting to wear thin.
		And the female sexist stuff is starting to wear thin.
		And so they got to find a new victim class.
		They got to find a new perch to domineer from.
		And I think mental illness is the one.
		And Fetterman is kind of the introduction of this.
		Tony, I appreciate your time tonight, brother.
		I love what you're doing at Wolfpack.gold, and we're glad to have you as part of the show.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		It's an honor to sponsor the show.
		And anytime you'd like me to come on, brother, you just let me know.
		And appreciate your audience.
		We've already had some people sign up and become a part of the Wolfpack.
		And of course, we also do direct sales.
		So anytime anybody wants to reach out, Wolfpack.gold.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		All right, Tony.
		God bless and Godspeed.
		Thank you.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		You too, my friend.
tony arterburn ▲ ● ▼		Talk soon.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So there you have it, folks.
		And I hope that gives you a little better idea of what goes on at Wolfpack.gold.
		And look, this is something I believe in.
		I'm serious.
		I'm not keeping money in the bank anymore.
		I'm telling you, folks.
		So if you're looking for a place to store your wealth, gold, it's been proven.
		And if you want something that's just a non-thinking issue, just, hey, I know I'm going to be putting a thousand into savings every month.
		I think I'd rather have that in precious metals.
		Wolfpack.gold is the place to go.
		All right.
		We've got some other stuff here tonight with a little bit of time we have left fighting through the technical anomalies, but making it all work.
		I'll tell you, it's always liberals trying to ruin a good time.
		You know, Native Americans grapple with Chiefs' Super Bowl celebrations.
		Here is the headline.
		I don't think it's Native Americans.
		I think it's liberals.
		Liberals grapple with Chiefs' Super Bowl celebrations because they do the chop.
		And so I don't really think it's Native Americans.
		In fact, Native Americans were polled about the Redskins and about the Chiefs and the Braves.
		And most of them said, yeah, I don't care.
		So it's not Native Americans.
		It's liberals, liberals complaining.
		They don't like seeing you have fun.
		And so they try to stop that down.
		They try to shut that down.
		Maybe we can do a little maybe we could get a little taste here, a little flavor, just to trigger a lib.
		Just to trigger a lib here.
		See if we can get a good shop going.
		Here it comes.
		Uh-oh.
		Oh, no.
		This is too much fun.
		Somebody shut it down.
		The Chiefs fans are having too much fun.
		I'm offended.
		I'm offended.
		Now, if you've ever been to a Kansas City Chiefs game, you know how much fun they are.
		Probably maybe the most fun NFL stadium out there.
		I haven't been to too many, maybe four or five.
		But the Kansas City game is always a great time.
		And so, what are they going to do?
		You're going to take away the chop?
		You're going to take away the Atlanta Braves chop.
		They were triggered over that two years ago when the Braves won.
		Or was that last year?
		I don't remember.
		They just hate it all.
		Hail to the Redskins.
		Hail to the Redskins and the Super Bowl chief champ chop.
unidentified		I mean, just look at this.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Monty Sinqua spent only one minute on stage inside the Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix during the NFL Super Bowl opening night.
unidentified		But it's a minute that will remain unforgettable.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		So, in other words, they like the Super Bowl.
		In other words, they like the fanfare.
		Isn't that funny?
		Now, you know that the left has been complaining.
		Democrats have been complaining that the use of the N-word has increased on Twitter.
		And I think we now know where the increase is coming from.
		And you know what?
		I should probably just pull this gal's Twitter account up.
		Uja Anya.
		Uja.
		Uju.
		Oh, sorry.
		Uju Anya.
		And she's complaining.
		She's complaining and she's using the N-word on Twitter.
		So I think we have figured out where the increase of the use of the N-word has come from.
		It's from Yuju Anya.
		Now, I covered this after the Super Bowl, and they were claiming people like Uju Anya are claiming that woke is a racial epitaph towards black people.
		Oh, and here we go.
		This is beautiful.
		And I found this scrolling through her Twitter feed.
		We're going to have to come back to this right here.
		This has actually been proven wrong.
		This whole notion about, well, I'll come back to that.
		Of course, that's on her Twitter feed there, falling for the propaganda.
		Here it is.
		So here's Uju Anya.
		And we now know why use of the N-word is up because liberals are using it like Uju Anya.
		So what came before the white man sang the national anthem that she wished wasn't there?
		Black people, black music, black culture.
		I have no idea what she's talking about, by the way.
		I've been telling y'all when white conservatives say woke, they mean beep the n-word.
		Oh, and so now you're not allowed to say woke either.
		They want to control what you say.
		They want to control your language.
		And then she goes back and she says, this is what white people have done to the word thug.
		Okay, no, I remember listening to rap music written and performed by black people making the term thug normal.
unidentified		Thug life, young thug.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I could go on.
		You name the popular rap song.
		They refer to themselves as thugs.
		They're black.
		So Uju Anya blames white people because black people use the word thug in their rap music.
		And she says that that's racist.
		And now we know why use of the N-word is up on Twitter because Uju Anya can't stop using it.
		But no, you're wrong.
		You're wrong as you usually are, probably, and always are, if not.
		No, we don't say woke.
		It has nothing to do with skin color.
		That's just you being obsessed with skin color and being obsessed with being a victim.
		But let's go up to something.
		So you may have seen this video, and I was already planning on covering this today.
		So you may have seen this video originally.
		Let me give you some audio on this.
		Here, let's watch this video together.
		This is a school north of Indianapolis high school.
unidentified		Join us on a tour.
		This is the auditorium.
		This is the comments.
		This is the catwalk.
		This is the planetarium.
		This is the senior hallway.
		This is our combo high school library.
		This is the Odds Hallway.
		This is the Carmel Cafe and Market.
		This is the back of the Carmel Cafe.
		This is our Communicate where we have Teddy.
		This is the Carmel Varsity Gym.
		This is the new addition to the Hall of Fame.
		This is the freshman gym.
		This is the weight room.
		This is the rusting room, baby.
		This is the blue and gold gym.
		This is a blue and gold track.
		This is the field house.
		This is the varsity tunnel.
		This is part of our wall of success.
		This is our nanatorium.
		This is the hallway of fame.
		This is our three-story freshman center.
		This is CHTV.
		This is our live radio.
		This is the year before.
		This is the auto shop.
		This is the wood shop.
		Man cafeteria.
		This is the bookstore.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		This is one of the many cookie homes.
		All right, so you get the idea here.
		Now, I'm vaguely familiar with the area.
		I have family in the area.
		I may have even had family that went to that high school, but I'm not sure.
		If they didn't go there, they probably played them in football and they know the school.
		So there's a bunch of big schools, but north of Indianapolis, there's a lot of wealthy people there.
		And it's a very conservative area, very red, very Republican area.
		And so that video went viral, and people were amazed at how cool that school is.
		And of course, the racist Democrats, the racist liberals had to jump on it and claim how racist the whole thing is with comments like this.
		When you see this and then look at the other quote-unquote publicly funded high schools in Indianapolis, you realize just how blatantly racist Indiana is.
		And so this is clearly from somebody who has no idea.
		There's a couple schools that are just like that in Indianapolis.
		And the truth is that conservatives, more even specifically, more specifically, Christian conservatives are able to do so much more with their dollar and make the dollar go so much farther when it comes to building their schools than any Democrats.
		Now, they want to continue to claim that this is a race issue.
		It's not.
		It's a leftist Democrat leadership issue versus a conservative Republican leadership issue.
		Democrats don't actually care about the schools.
		They pretend to.
		Democrats don't actually care about the youth.
		They pretend to.
		So anyway, the whole argument here is, oh, this is racist.
		Black kids never get any of this.
		Only white kids get it.
		And while, yes, that is a majority white area, there are all kinds of different students there.
		So trust me, I know that.
		I have family in the area.
		And so then they're all mad here.
		Oh, they.
		So you can be racist against white people, and that's fine.
		And quite frankly, I don't even care about that either.
		Okay, but so here's the story.
		That video goes viral, and immediately everyone is saying it's racist.
		Look, white people get to good schools.
		Black people don't.
		And obviously, you can go to any Democrat-run city.
		You can go to any Democrat-run inner city, and you'll never see a school that clean.
		You'll probably never see a school that big and that successful.
		You don't get that in Democrat cities.
		And if you think as they make the issue, if you think that it's about money, well, you're actually wrong because it's not.
		And in fact, one individual has done the research.
		And next Choice Media is how I'm going to pronounce that.
		So again, they claim that this is racist and it shows white privilege, and yet they're wrong again.
		It shows the difference between red areas, conservative areas, Christian conservative areas, and Democrat-run areas and their schools.
		Here's the proof.
		I'm going to go down this whole thread for you from AnneChoice Media.
		This school district, being cited as an example of incredible affluence, aka white privilege, actually has less than half the per student spending as DC Public Schools, one of the most well-funded Democrat-run districts when it comes to their schools.
		DCPS spends $22,000 per year, has a 50% higher teaching staff ratio, and still 80% of their kids aren't proficient in math.
		CCS in Indiana spends $10.3,000 per year, so less than half of D.C., so a conservative area spending less than half of the Democrat area, builds gorgeous schools like this, filled with nice people doing interesting activities and has three times, three and a half times the proficiency.
		People unfamiliar with education in America are often surprised to learn that the median black student actually attends a slightly better funded school than the median white student.
		It's just Democrat leadership spoils that money.
		A 94% white Asian suburb excels despite being what any urban district would call underfunded.
		More Indiana versus D.C. school comparisons.
		D.C. spends 6.6 times as much per student on general admission as Indiana, twice as much on instruction.
		Contrary to 100-year-old building story, D.C. has over twice the budget share on construction costs and relatively less on maintenance.
		So sorry, racist liberals that wanted to make this a race issue because you hate white people so much.
		Sorry, it's a you thing again.
		It's always you.
		Hi, it's you.
		You're the problem.
		It's you.
		You saw this and you just fumed because you saw white people and a beautiful high school and you were fuming.
		Don't be mad at them for being successful.
		Don't be mad at them for having a beautiful high school.
	Be mad at the Democrats and the liberal leadership that could never dream of building something like this because they're so obsessed with race and they're so obsessed with stealing money on their own little pet projects.
	And yes, I've worked in inner city schools, folks.
	I've seen how bad it is.
	And there's good teachers and there's good principals and there's people that try and they try to do as much as they can, but there's only so much they can do.
	And again, this isn't a skin color issue.
	This is a political issue.
	This happens in Democrat-run cities that have more funding per student than Republican areas, and yet Republican schools will get three and a half times the proficiency.
	It's a them problem.
	It's a liberal, Democrat, progressive problem.
	That's what it is.
	But you guys are so obsessed with race that you continue to be the problem.
	So there you go.
	Myth that that is an example of white privilege debunked, debunked.
	It's once again a liberal problem.
	They'll never learn, will they?
	They'll never learn.
	All right.
	Let's, boy, a lot of stuff that we didn't even get to here.
	This is a hilarious story.
	Conservative commentator Isabella Riley Moody, who is very anti-gay, is an ambassador for the log cabin Republicans.
	And that's your gay Republicans.
	And so an anti-gay commentator is your ambassador.
	And this is just driving liberals mad.
	Look at these headlines.
	Log cabin Republicans name homophobic bigot Isabella Riley Moody as an outspoken ambassador.
	That's from right wing watch.
	Here's the Randy report.
	They're always Randy, baby, especially with children around.
	Log cabin Republicans name homophobe as outspoken ambassador.
	New pro-Nights, pro-Nazi log cabin ambassador wishes society would stop putting faggots on a pedestal.
	Our society puts faggots on a pedestal, raves log cabin Republican.
	I wonder if other GOP one-time ambassador Rick Grinnell can save the day from this.
	What you're about to watch is beyond gay bashing.
	It's basic hate.
	It's xenophobia 101.
	Now, I've got a message for the left that you clearly don't get because you're confused by this.
	You say, why would a group of gay Republicans, why would the log cabin Republicans put an anti-homosexual commentator or a gay bigot even, why would they appoint a gay bigot to be their spokesperson?
	Because don't you get it?
	We don't care.
	We are actually tolerant.
	We are actually diverse.
	So, yeah, gay Republicans watching some conservative commentator bash gay people doesn't bother them because they're comfortable in their skin and they're comfortable in their ideology.
	And they don't need affirmation from you and they don't need affirmation from Isabella Riley-Moody.
	And it actually brings us such joy that you still don't understand that we're the tolerant ones, and you still don't understand that we're trying to be the big tent party that you really wouldn't understand why a group of gay Republicans would appoint a homophobe as their spokesperson because we're rubbing your nose in it.
	We don't hate one another.
	We might have a diverse opinion on something.
	We might have diverse opinions on a lot of things.
	We might straight up disagree on a lot of things, but we understand the things we have in common are more important, like freedom, prosperity, freedom of speech, Second Amendment, and I don't know, maybe having good schools, something Democrats can't figure out.
	Yeah, you want a city to be destroyed?
	You want the youth to be destroyed?
	Bring in the Democrats.
	So they just still don't get it.
	They just still don't get who we are.
	They don't get what we are.
	They don't even try.
	The log cabin Republicans are laughing that the liberals are angry because guess what?
	The log cab Republicans don't care what the liberals think.
	Isabella Reilly Moody is laughing at liberals, angry that she's the spokesperson for the gay Republicans.
	But you see, we're all laughing at you.
	You guys are the turd in the punch bowl.
	You guys are the problem.
	Hi, it's you.
	You're the problem.
	It's you.
	This is like when liberals call black conservatives Uncle Toms.
	So they're mad.
	The liberals are mad when they don't control how a black person thinks.
	And now they're mad because they can't compare what they can't control what gay people think.
	And they don't get it.
	We told you to hate conservatives.
	We told you to hate, we said Isabella Reilly was a homophobe.
	Why would you make her your spokesperson?
unidentified		Because we don't care about you.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		And this just shows how we're so open-minded and tolerant.
		We'll make someone our spokesperson that you say hates us.
		How do you like that?
		Shove that down your throat.
		No pun intended.
		So there you go.
		All right.
		Let me see if there's anything else.
		Let me see if there's anything else.
		We've got a little tit for tat going on between Eric Adams and Governor DeSantis.
		Well, really, it's just everybody going after DeSantis and he's not responding to anybody.
		DeSantis looks like he's preparing for a presidential run, traveling around talking to police officers.
		So he was in New York at a police officer press conference.
		Mayor Eric Adams says, welcome to New York City, Ron DeSantis, a place where we don't ban books, discriminate against our LGBTQ plus neighbors, use asylum seekers as props, or let the government stand between a woman and healthcare.
		We're happy to see, we're happy to teach you something about values while you're here.
unidentified		And nobody cared.
unidentified		And that's how it's done.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Just ignore them.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		Just ignore them.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		All right.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		One thing, because this is timely.
		You know, there was a situation in Austin and it's getting worse.
		And I'm kind of like a mixed bag about this.
		I'm just showing you some of the footage from some street racing, some street racing crazies that went down this weekend.
		And I'm kind of like, look, you know, I'm more for the people than I am for the government, but there has to be a certain level.
		If you want to do street racing and street tricks, you got to find a safe place to do it and then not turn it into a violent event like they did in Austin over the weekend, as you're seeing some of the footage.
		And people did get hurt.
		People did get hospitalized, hit by cars, lit on fire.
		There was a string of crimes after this was dispersed as well.
		And so here's some of the individuals catching on fire.
		And people always ask, well, why don't you ever go out in Austin anymore?
		Well, because it's crazy now.
		It's crazy town.
		It's Los Angeles East now.
		It's going downhill fast.
		Now, here's what's so incredible about witnessing this firsthand.
		I've been in Austin since 2016.
		So, I mean, we're talking like seven, eight years now.
		And it was not like this at all when I first moved here.
		I mean, at all, folks.
		Downtown was, yeah, it had its issues, but in comparison, very light homelessness, very light degradation on the streets, very, very light crime.
		And it was really kind of a nice, quiet, big city.
		Well, in the eight years, it's turned into something completely different, a beast, an animal.
		And you can't go out at night now without seeing mass homelessness, mass poverty, mass crime.
		You don't even feel safe in half the areas anymore.
		People walking around naked, defecating, urinating on the streets, shouting obscenities at people.
		It's really gotten that bad, folks.
		And here's what's amazing about it: it happened so fast, like overnight.
		It happened so fast.
		And I don't know what the story on this is going to be.
		I don't know what the narrative is going to be.
		But I'm just going to tell you, there's going to be things that are going to be undeniable about this phenomenon.
		And this eventually is going to be a massive story.
		The complete collapse of Austin, Texas in 10 years is going to be undeniable.
		And there's going to be certain things that you can point out about what's changed in this city in 10 years that's going to be undeniable.
		This stuff that I'm showing you on the screen, folks, would have never, ever happened.
		It wouldn't even have been close to happening in Austin.
		Now it happens every weekend and it's getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
		I'm telling you, there's going to be stories that emerge from this.
		And this is just watching a great city collapse in 10 years.
		Austin, Texas going from Austin, Texas to Los Angeles, Texas in 10 years in just a crazy cascade.
		In just a crazy collapse.
		And the locals know what's going on.
		And I don't know how they're going to try to act like it has nothing to do with Democrats and their agenda.
		And that is half the story.
		But I don't think this is going to go away.
		And I would suspect there's probably going to be a big issue.
		My guess is this story really pops off during South by Southwest.
		I think you're going to see some crazy stuff happen during South by Southwest.
		And it's just going to be, it's going to become such an issue that it's going to be undeniable.
		Even the local media, the national media, there's going to act like, oh, they don't know what's going on.
		We have no idea.
		No, I don't think I don't think they're going to be able to cover this one up, ladies and gentlemen.
		I think this one is, I think this story is going to get big because to watch a city like Austin collapse in 10 years, and the collapse expands, by the way.
		You know, you think, well, okay, one area gets bad, people go to the next area, the next area gets bad, people go to the next.
		No, it's every area now.
		Every area with the homelessness and the crime is all skyrocketing.
		And the cops aren't interested anymore.
		They've been so defunded and they've been under such attack that they just completely, they don't even, they don't even do anything anymore, quite frankly.
		So, yeah, they'll clear out some of the crime and homeless element, but trust me, this South by Southwest is going to bring in a new element.
		And the message is out.
		Come down to Austin and party like there's no tomorrow.
		Come down to Austin and party like it's a rental car, a rental city.
		And that's what it is for most of these people.
	All right.
	One more thing and I'm done.
	But this is something that I've been talking about for a long time.
	And it's not just these celebrities.
	Celtics, former Celtics player, he might be in the NBA Hall of Fame already.
	I don't know.
	Paul Pierce pays $1.5 million penalty for promoting crypto without disclosing that he was being paid to do so.
	Pay attention, crypto influencers.
	Now, if you listen to me on The War Room, I don't really get into crypto much.
	I like the concept.
	I'd like to see it succeed, but I've always been extremely cautious.
	I've always been extremely cautious, and I've always warned people about crypto influencers, and this is exactly why.
	So, this is another don't doubt me, I told you so moment, sadly.
	But Paul Pierce is kind of just a fall guy for this.
	The real crypto shills are the ones that go on the internet every day telling you that crypto can never fail.
	It's going to save your life.
	It's going to do this.
	It's going to do that.
	And the truth is, they're basically crypto sponsors.
	If not literal paid sponsors, which most of them are, they have their own self-interest in mind promoting crypto because they own so much of it.
	And they never disclose this to you.
	I've been warning about this for years.
	I've been urging, I mean, I don't really care for any government action, but I've been urging people to just watch out.
	Watch out.
	Those boobs and Bitcoin influencers, watch out.
	It's a trap.
	It's a trap.
	Now, people bring up Ben Armstrong.
	I like Ben Armstrong.
	If you listen to Ben Armstrong and watch Ben Armstrong, he's always been honest.
	He's always been transparent.
	And so you know who his sponsors are, and you know who he is, and you know what he promotes, and he's honest about crypto.
	It's the others that are just flyby niders.
	It's the others that are the boobs in Bitcoin.
	And it's the others that all they do is tell you, buy Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin.
	It's going to make you rich.
	And they're being paid to promote it.
	And they have their own self-interest involved because they own a bunch of it.
	And so they don't care when people lose money.
	And I have a feeling: look, this is something I can't get too much into right now.
	I think there's going to be some big stories.
	Some of it's already gotten out.
	See, you should have listened to me.
	You should have listened to me.
	But some of this has already gotten out.
	And it's funny.
	I don't know what it is.
	Call it my new modern sense of skepticism and not wanting to trust anybody.
	But let's just say, let's just say that there have been attempted honeypots on me that have failed every time.
	And that this story that you're going to see soon, and some of it's already out about honeypots infiltrating the Proud Boys, you're going to find out some of your favorite Bitcoin people.
	Well, I shouldn't say that.
	Let's just say some of your Bitcoin people are going to be the ones you're talking about.
	So that's all I can say about it right now.
	But, you know, I would just say it like this: be careful.
	Be careful of people who pop up out of nowhere and gain tremendous influence with seemingly no bona fides, no resume, no history.
	And all of a sudden, you see them everywhere and they're promoting the good life, the high life, telling you you can have it too.
	All you need is crypto.
	Just be careful.
unidentified		Just be careful.
owen shroyer ▲ ● ▼		I've been warning about this.
		And I think this is another one of those things where don't doubt me on this.
		It's all about to come out.
		And so Paul Pierce paying a fine.
		That's just a fall guy.
		No, it's the influencers getting out there on the internet, tricking people into investing thousands, saying it's a fail-safe thing, and people lose a bunch of money because of it.
		But there's going to be a tie-up.
		There's going to be a tie-up, folks.
		And just federal agents getting into Proud Boys.
		Spies trying to use women to get access and influence.
		Yeah.
		Yep.
		Yeah, just look at Sam Bankman Freed, but that's like the big shark.
		That's the guy that the, that's the guy the elites used as the fall guy to launder their billions through crypto.
		But, no, the honeypot Bitcoin Fed connection, I think, is another one that is kind of a You barely even see it, the tip of the iceberg on the surface.
		Because I had some situations and I had some instincts, and now I happen to know some of it's coming out.
		But I'm going to leave it there for tonight.
		We had an adventurous, we had an adventurous transmission, I would say.
		An adventurous transmission indeed.
		And so you're just going to have to have the mystery of not knowing what those callers were saying.
		But eventually, we got the line back up and ready to go.
		And so that does it for tonight.
