Episode 77.
Democrats who said Trump would crash the economy and start World War III, crash the economy, and start World War III.
Coming to you through the Owen.gold microphone, become a member of the club at Owen.gold.
But first, as you know, we always like to start off with some good music.
Now, I teased this last week.
Many of you metal fans in the audience are probably unaware that the sons of the members of the band Slipknot have started a band of their own called Vended.
This is Vended, the far side.
I trust your endless attention.
unidentified
But the fact of the matter is: I'm lost by the path again.
And what's a mess?
I can't say what the problem is.
I can't say where life ends till life begins.
Complication calling of mutations.
Complication, calling your mutations.
Until I've never seen a truer friend.
I know my better days are in life and full of great.
Oh denial, what better way to say they care?
I know my better days are full of red and everything is what if I do come on the people who know what it's all about.
I'm so indifferent for your insurance.
Just grab all the satisfactory.
Why does everyone feel so empty?
I wish that human connection would open up and take you with me.
Complication calling of mutations.
Complication going on mutations.
Oh, denial.
I've never seen a truer friend.
I know my better days are in life and full of grey.
Oh denial.
What better way to see they care?
I know my better days are full of red and everything is full of red and everything is, everything is, everything is.
Everything is, everything is.
Everything is cry.
Everything is cry.
All of that fall in place.
I guess there's something more.
Wish I could say I don't matter all I want is to change.
It's the only thing I think about.
Killing pieces of figurines.
owen shroyer
So there you go.
You probably never heard it before.
That's vended the far side.
Vended the far side.
And just to correct the record in the chat, it's sons.
It's sons from the band members of Slipknot.
A couple of the band members' sons from Slipknot formed the group Vended that we just heard from.
And they put out some tracks.
They were a little clunky in the beginning.
Some of their tracks a little clunky.
They've had some good ones.
And then they just had some real clunkers.
And then they came out with the far side a few months ago.
And that was kind of their arrival.
That was kind of their moment of, yeah, okay, we're here.
No doubt you can hear the Slipknot influence.
No doubt you can hear the Slipknot influence.
And the vocalist is Corey Taylor's son.
So if he sounds like him, that's literally his son.
Corey Taylor, just a few months ago, during an interview, basically said he wants to retire soon.
Slipknot's on their 25th anniversary tour.
And Corey's basically like, yeah, it's painful to even perform anymore for us.
So I don't know how many more albums they'll come out with or how many more tours they'll be on.
And you feel like they kind of want their sound and style to live on through their sons in vended.
But that's neither here nor there.
We're here to talk a little politics.
We're here to talk a little politics tonight.
Owen Schroyer live, episode 77.
The Democrats, who said Trump would crash the economy and start World War III, have crashed the economy and started World War III.
Go figure.
Coming to you through the Owen.gold microphone.
Become a member of the club at Owen.gold.
It's the only membership that pays you back in gold.
Literally.
Sent to your mail.
Owen.gold.
Find out more about it.
All right.
So a couple things I want to cover, and we'll start taking phone calls pretty quickly tonight.
I think that when you look at the current administration, specifically the White House, what you have is a lack of presence and a lack of leadership.
Joe Biden is pretty much absent.
Joe Biden has control over nothing.
He has no leadership.
He's likely not even running the White House at this point.
He's gone.
He's gone.
And then you have Kamala Harris, who's not a serious person.
She's not a serious person.
She's a total phony.
She's been a phony since day one.
She slept her way to the top.
And so when your executive branch is led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, you've got problems.
You've got problems.
And so now when you look at the results, these are undeniable.
The results in the United States of America, where the cost of living has skyrocketed, skyrocketed, 10% minimum.
unidentified
10% minimum.
owen shroyer
The cost of living has gone up under the Biden administration, probably closer to 20%, to be honest.
But, you know, the official numbers are 10%.
But when you weigh it all out, the price of gas, the price of energy, interest rates, the price of food, it's really closer to 25%.
But if you balance it out with the whole economy, it's about 10%.
So really, the cost of livings of the things that everybody purchases regularly, necessities, if you will, This is really about 20, 25 percent.
So this is undeniable.
Then you have the situation going on in Ukraine, and you have the situation going on in Israel.
Neither of these things were going on when Trump was the president.
Now, quite frankly, I like the foreign policy of none of our business.
Let's focus on our own issues at home.
That would be my foreign policy.
Let the Middle East figure out their own bullcrap.
Let Russia and Ukraine figure out their own bullcrap.
These are struggles that have been going on, actually, before the United States even existed.
Before the United States even existed, there have been civil wars in Russia, which Ukraine is Russia.
Before the United States even existed, the Jews and the Arabs have been battling and fighting in the land of Israel, modern-day Israel.
These are ancient struggles compared to the lifespan of the United States of America.
We should have nothing to do with it.
And yet here we are embedded in each of these conflicts, embedded in each of these conflicts, which could come back to haunt us, which could come back to haunt us.
So these two things are undeniable.
Now, Joe Biden or whoever, Blinken, Sullivan, I don't know, who really knows, have now delivered F-16s to Ukraine.
Now, it would appear, it would appear that this was a symbolic gesture.
These F-16s were basically decommissioned.
These F-16s were essentially expired for U.S. materials for the U.S. battlefield.
And so they made some technical updates, mechanical procedures, and said, okay, well, we'll just give them to Ukraine.
Are they really even battle-ready?
Are they really even legit?
Or was this a symbolic gesture?
Now, either way, it's not good.
If this is a symbolic gesture, think about what they're saying.
They're saying to the American people, we would rather send not battle-ready F-16s to Ukraine as a show of commitment and force to Russia, even though they actually will have no impact on the battlefield.
We're going to saber-rattle with Russia for Ukraine when Russia is doing war drills off the coast of Cuba right now, 60 miles from Florida.
As if that isn't insane enough, let's say they really think these things are going to work and they said, okay, we'll tinker with the mechanics.
We'll have them up and running.
They can go fly them around and we'll just continue to support Ukraine.
So now you're talking about F-16s with Western-trained pilots flying into war with Russians trying to kill Russians.
Well, gee, how do you think Vladimir Putin is going to take that?
Now, when you combine this with the struggle in the Middle East, and Russia is looking at all of this strategically, a good relationship with Iran, a good relationship with China, a good relationship with India, there is now a dangerous potential that they could take control of the energy industry,
especially if something big happens off the coast of Israel soon or in the Strait of Hormuz.
Now you're talking your energy prices are going to go up.
And of course, they'll blame Russia, but we didn't have to have anything to do with this.
So there could now be A faction forming of China and Iran and India and Russia that can now control the oil trade on nearly an entire planetary scale.
Now, they have not, they've opened up some energy production in the U.S. again because Biden has been such a catastrophe for U.S. energy, stopping the drilling, shutting down new pipelines.
So now they have to either deal with Venezuela or start pumping oil themselves, or gas prices are going to go up to $6, $7, $8, $9, $10 a gallon.
But they certainly will try to drive us into this war.
And now blood has been shed.
Somebody attacked a base where U.S. troops were stationed, and the U.S. troops are now dead.
In fact, let's pull that up.
Yeah, rocket attack in U.S. Ain al-Assad base in Iraq.
They're saying several troops injured.
I think I heard that some might have even perished, but I suppose that's not confirmed yet.
They are currently conducting a post-attack damage assessment.
And they're going to blame it on Iran.
Maybe it was Israel.
Maybe Israel did it so that it would be blamed on Iran and they can finally get us into a war with Iran, something Israel's been trying to do for years.
wouldn't put it past Israel.
So now we're fighting Israel's wars.
We're funding Israel's wars.
Meanwhile, see, look, I'm so sick of this crap, man.
I'm so sick of this crap.
Our greatest ally.
What does Israel do for us?
Well, they help us with our enemies in the Middle East.
Those aren't our enemies.
Those are Israel's enemies.
If the United States stopped funding Israel, what would happen?
And why is that my problem?
The only reason Israel is on a rampage right now is because they own our Congress.
and they know whatever Netanyahu requests, our Congress and our White House must answer to their beck and call.
Israel spies on us just like China spies on us, but we would never call China our greatest ally.
So now our loyalty to Israel is going to get us into a war in the Middle East, and American blood will be shed.
On the other hand, our loyalties to NATO, our loyalties to NATO will end us up in a war with Russia.
But it won't be a direct confrontation with Russia.
This is now getting into the scale and scope of a world war, which will first have economic impacts on us and then potentially get us into our larger kinetic war with not just Russia, but Russia's new allies.
So tell me, what does NATO do for the United States of America?
They just collect our paycheck.
So tell me, what does Israel do for the United States of America?
Well, they enrich our weapons manufacturers.
So if you are in the weapons manufacturing business or you have stock in the weapons manufacturing business or you're a politician that gets paid millions of dollars by AIPAC, then I guess you love Israel.
But guess what?
That's less than 1% of the United States that benefits from that relationship.
Who benefits from NATO?
Who's laundering the NATO money?
When does NATO come to our defense?
Oh, well, 9-11.
Oh, really?
We're going to fall back on 9-11.
Yeah, Israel helped us on 9-11 too.
Really?
Israel helped us on 9-11.
Tell me, do you believe the truth about 9-11?
Tell me, you're not that foolish.
So we get lied to about 9-11, and then we get reamed by our so-called allies in the name of 9-11, even though we don't even know the truth.
That would make us the fool, so spare me.
And now you're on the precipice of something domestic and cultural like we're seeing in Europe.
Now, Europeans are now in a direct confrontation with the invasion that's happened from the Middle East and has essentially conquered their culture and conquered their body politic.
And now that Europeans are standing up for their culture and their lineage, now they're being told they're the bad guys and they're being told they have to sit down.
Now, it's not going to look the same in the United States as we have a much more large country as far as the size.
Plus, we are a much more diverse country.
And so it's easier for them to kind of form their own little cliques, take over their own little areas, and people just move away.
Yeah, maybe the no-guns come into play here, but that's not really the issue.
The issue is that they move into their voting blocks in different areas like Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, and they all just stay in their own little places.
Now, Jewish people do similar things, but they're way more acclimated and they have converged, if you will, individual-wise.
American Jews have pretty much assimilated and converged with American culture.
I'm not talking about the political issues.
I'm not talking about Hollywood and any of that stuff.
I'm just talking about if you live next door, your average Jewish American is probably a lot like you and gets along with you, and they're not trying to change the landscape of your culture.
They're not trying to change the landscape of your politics.
But what could happen in America is if they start moving, specifically Palestinians, but in general, if they start placing people moving here from the Arab world next door to Jewish Americans, it will look like Europe right here in the United States, but we won't even have anything to do with it.
It's not going to be Americans.
It's going to be the same tribal holy wars that have been fought for thousands of years before the United States of America even existed.
That's what we're facing, just like what we saw in Washington, D.C. when Netanyahu was giving his speech.
So the United States must remove itself.
It must decouple itself from this war immediately, or we're going to be in a larger conflict, and our economy will be hit hard, and we might even be drawn into a larger war.
And if Biden and Harris or Harris and Walls or whoever it is are in charge, it's not looking good for us, folks.
It's not looking good for us at all.
All right, we're going to be joined on the phone now by Tony Arderburn, host of the Arderburn Radio Broadcast and the founder of Wise Wolf Gold.
We're going to talk about the economy with him.
Tony, I know you just kind of recently heard my monologue here to open the show.
I mean, what do you make of all this news?
The same people that said Trump would start World War III and crash the economy have now potentially started World War III and crashed the economy.
unidentified
A lot of projection there.
Of course, the establishment in the deep state are hungry for war, bloodthirsty.
tony arterburn
They love conflict.
It helps prop up their decrepit and decaying evil fiat currency system.
That's what drives the military-industrial complex.
They like options, Owen.
They like World War III kicking off in Ukraine.
They like World War III kicking off between Iran and Israel.
They like World War III kicking off between Taiwan, the United States, and China.
unidentified
So take your pick.
tony arterburn
We're in for it, man.
And this is what the deep state degenerates, their backs against the wall.
You can see it today.
I mean, it's ugly times ugly in the markets, just blood everywhere.
And I think this is just, you know, because we have a system built on fake.
So really, the only way for them to continue to prop up their power is to have the state be at constant war.
And we've, you know, known from the wisdom of our founding fathers, like James Madison, is that a republic cannot survive in a state of perpetual war.
So we're definitely in the thick of things, my friend.
I'm really glad you're covering this.
And I happen to agree with you on foreign influence in our internal politics is an abomination.
And unfortunately, you know, the APAC handlers and so many of the influence from places like Israel, especially, dictate our foreign policy.
It's really unfortunate.
It costs lives.
It costs our liberties.
And it may well cost us the country if we're not careful.
owen shroyer
Well, and this is what I think there is a level of awareness of now, more so than I've ever seen.
And it's strange because in the past, if somebody would recognize me, you know, normally they're asking about Trump or they're asking about just kind of raw policy.
Now people ask me about Zionist influence.
They ask me about AIPAC.
This is becoming a main conversation.
And I think the big lie that's been sold to us is that, hey, we've got it so good that it's okay if we lose a little bit of your standing.
It's okay if you lose a little bit of what you have in America.
That's fine.
You've got it so good.
You need to care about these guys over here and these guys over here.
But now the average American is looking at their bank account.
They're living paycheck to paycheck.
They're maybe even having to debate what bill they're going to pay next.
Maybe they're even going into debt where normally they wouldn't have to to pay a bill or even go to the grocery store.
And so, but the story never changed that, oh, hey, you know, you need to keep making sacrifices.
Well, how much more can we sacrifice?
The average American is down to a level of desperation now.
And I think we see, you know, kind of a, it's the same vibe of the desperation that we're seeing in the UK with this with this clash of cultures.
For America, it's more of an economic desperation.
tony arterburn
Well, absolutely.
And the ruling class are absentee landlords.
They don't care about this country.
It's a vessel for them.
It's an economy sector.
You know it from their actions.
You know it from their rhetoric.
They don't even believe in the sovereignty of a nation state unless it's something they're defending, like the borders of Israel or the borders that, you know, if we're occupying Iraq or something like that, they care about that, but they don't care about, look at our crumbling infrastructure.
Look at our border.
I mean, again, we go back to it.
Can we, does a nation exist without a border?
We're certainly testing that theory right now here in this country.
The average person, I think, looks at Washington and says, this is just decadence to worry about outside things in the middle of the loss of the middle class in this country.
Not only the loss economically, but the heart and soul of America.
It's one of the things that Trump ran on in 2016 about bringing the jobs back and killing these so-called free trade agreements like NAFTA and GAD and the TPP.
It siphoned off trillions of dollars of wealth from the United States.
I mean, it's the largest transfer of wealth in human history was the manufacturing base of the U.S. to Asia and other places abroad.
And that was done in the 80s going into the early 90s and so on.
But now we're seeing another transfer of wealth, and that's literally just money printing, or if you want to call it currency printing, actually, because there's no money.
You have to have value to have money.
We have just currency printing into oblivion.
So the average person is really feeling the pain.
But Washington's like a thing unto itself.
You go there, you've been there, Lowen, and it's very opulent.
They live well.
It's a lot of money floating around.
But you go out into the heartland, you go into America.
People have to work hard.
You have to work twice as hard to get the same amount of food and shelter and transportation that you did five years ago.
So all these foreign wars and these things that the elite want us to get involved in that have nothing to do with the prosperity of the average American.
owen shroyer
Well, it used to be that if you made 50,000 a year in America, that you could at least live comfortably, you know, have a desirable roof over your head, a car that starts, you know, food and beverage in your fridge.
You're not going to live a lavish lifestyle or have excess, but you're going to be comfortable enough.
And if you maintain your job, you're going to be okay.
The number is now like 100,000, I think.
It might even be more than that.
Now it's like you got to be making six figures a year for the same basic comforts and confidence that you had making 50,000 a year maybe 10 years ago, maybe even five, six years ago under Trump.
And so to me, when I see this stuff, this is not even a debate.
This is the facts of life in America today.
I just wonder how the average American doesn't equate this with policy and doesn't equate this with the current administration.
I mean, the dichotomy of the Trump years versus the Biden years is, I mean, it's the difference between 110 in Texas and negative 30 in Minnesota.
tony arterburn
Well, you just look at the debt, Owen.
You know, when I was born at the tail end of 1979, the debt was almost at 1 trillion.
So it took us more than 200 years to hit that number.
Now we hit that number every 90 days.
It takes more than a trillion dollars a year just to service the interest on the debt.
And again, you can debate whether the debt's even real because you're dealing with fiat currency, but just go look at the debt to GDP ratio, gross domestic product.
We're about 140% of debt to GDP.
You can't survive and sustain that.
That's where people are starting to feel, you know, again, the policy of the United States government.
There used to be some semblance of, you know, there should be fiscal hawks.
Besides Thomas Massey, maybe a sprinkling of others, is there any fiscal hawks left?
Does anybody even run on that anymore?
owen shroyer
Not enough, not with any, not with any influence or pull.
They don't have voter block to stop anything.
unidentified
No.
tony arterburn
And I think people are, we're now, politics have become a lot more tribal because we're now so enmeshed in the culture war, in the vote fraud, in the deception and the corruption that it's hard to even think about the currency and the fiscal responsibility.
So these are really unprecedented times.
Like we're losing so much ground rapidly that I think the average person is just trying to figure out where they are.
I mean, the cost of living is going up, jobs aren't paying more.
And at the same time, you flip on the headlines and like you said, you know, you got all these unnecessary, unconstitutional foreign conflicts that have the potential of popping off into something much wider.
We don't have time for this.
owen shroyer
And our military is not equipped either, just straight up not equipped.
And I talk to a lot of members of the military.
You're a veteran yourself.
And a lot of these younger guys who would normally be the heart and soul of the military, they get in and they get out as quickly as they can.
Morale is low.
They don't feel confident in the administration that they want to stick around.
And so that's another issue that a lot of people don't want to talk about because we're just so used to military dominance.
But, you know, we're so used to a lot of dominance that I think we're letting slip through our hands right now.
Let me just change course.
Let me just take a hard turn here.
What is going on with Bitcoin right now?
tony arterburn
Well, Bitcoin, I bought some Bitcoin today, by the way, when it dipped.
Bitcoin is experiencing what a lot of the more speculative markets are experiencing.
owen shroyer
What's it at today?
tony arterburn
It went down to 50,000 early in the morning, and we're back up to around 54,000 right now for Bitcoin.
I'm not worried about Bitcoin.
I just got back from the Bitcoin conference in Nashville.
My primary business is precious metals, but as you know, I've dealt in Bitcoin since 2016.
I think Bitcoin's, you know, look, you look at BlackRock, not that I'm a fan of BlackRock or any of that or Larry Fink, but they started buying the dip, you know, with for the ETF funds.
They're actually underwater right now from the ETF launch.
But Bitcoin, I think, has a more global story to tell.
I'm not telling you to go out and buy Bitcoin, but Bitcoin's certainly not going to just start faltering at this point.
I think there's going to be a lot more funds worldwide that pour into it.
And one of the reasons I say that, Owen, is because I saw something that Michael Saylor put up in his presentation in Nashville, and I'd never seen it quite put this way, but he put in giant blocks on the screen on a presentation that showed where all the wealth, or I'm putting in some quotations, where all the wealth in the world is stored.
And most of it is in like sovereign wealth funds, bonds, treasuries.
stocks, things like that.
We're talking about like hundreds of trillion.
And up in the very left-hand corner of the chart was these tiny little charts, tiny little bars.
And one of them represented gold at about a 16 trillion market cap.
And the other one was silver at about a 1.4 trillion market cap.
And right behind that was Bitcoin and these tiny, tiny little bars at the far left-hand corner.
So I started to think about that.
And it's just a lot of fake out there.
I don't, you know, if you're holding Bitcoin right now, my suggestion to you is to continue to hold.
There's going to be more and more adoption coming up.
There's more and more ETFs.
owen shroyer
But isn't this, see, here's my perspective with Bitcoin because isn't the selling point isn't what is it valued against the US dollar.
It's are we going to reach, are we going to cross a threshold where Bitcoin becomes a viable currency that's not controlled by any formal institution.
I mean, to me, that's the draw with Bitcoin, whether it's at 10,000, 50,000, or 100,000.
You know, the idea that we have a currency not tied to a government, not tied to a centralized institution, you know, that to me, I mean, and people have new theories about, well, Bitcoin is a CIA, you know, front anyway.
Well, okay, if somebody, I mean, we, it doesn't even matter.
We could come out and decide, and this used to happen, by the way, in ancient times.
We could come out and just decide, you know what?
Seashells are currency.
Okay.
We're going to start trading in seashells and we're going to use seashells as currency.
Well, the federal government would come in and say, no, you can't do that.
Those are our seashells, our seashells now.
Well, what are they going to do?
They're seashells.
So, I mean, that's the draw with Bitcoin.
It's not that there's any perfect medium for this.
It's the idea.
You know, Tony, I think to me, it's more of a psychological break, right?
I mean, if you and I are playing the game of monopoly and we're using monopoly money, we know that that money has no value in the real world.
But if I land on boardwalk and I pay $400, oh, well, you respect that.
I now own boardwalk the property.
The money we have is virtually the same as monopoly money.
It's all in our mind.
It's all this agreed on value that we're playing this game.
And it's like, once we break from that and we realize that this is all just a con game that we're in, we can create our own wealth.
We can decide our own currency that's not centralized.
We're not getting raped on interest rates.
I mean, to me, that's like, and I don't even know what the final level of that looks like.
But to me, that's why I'm curious about Bitcoin.
And that's why I think the real draw of Bitcoin is not what is the number on the screen.
It's, can I go down the street and buy gas?
Can I pay my electric bill?
Can I do all these things in Bitcoin that's not tethered to a centralized institution or any government?
tony arterburn
You absolutely can.
There's more and more adoption every single day.
And what Bitcoin represents is it's antithetical to the US dollar.
The US dollar is infinite.
In 1971, Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard.
Gold was $35 an ounce.
By the end of the 1970s, gold was close to $800 an ounce.
Gold didn't go up, though.
That's what people fail to understand.
It's that the purchasing power of the US dollar collapses because it becomes more ubiquitous.
You put something more, you know, more and more of something into the system makes it less valuable.
Bitcoin is scarce.
There's only 21 million Bitcoin that will ever exist.
There's actually really only 16 million if you account for all the Bitcoin that's been lost.
So you're talking about a finite resource.
And whether you're, I know there's theories on the CIA constructing Bitcoin and all the rest of that.
Fine, because at the end of the day, it's still a decentralized network.
They did a terrible job waking people up to what fiat currency is.
And I got into this space again in 2016.
More and more people understand now about fake.
You know, fake is when you just by decree create currency.
If it's not backed by silver, not backed by gold, something that's finite, then it's not money.
It's just currency.
And that currency, the more that they print, the more that they create, the less valuable it is.
The rich don't hoard cash.
It's what people, they don't teach this in school.
The rich don't hoard cash.
They hoard assets.
Assets have to be finite.
They cannot be unlimited.
The U.S. dollar is unlimited.
And as a matter of fact, Owen, it's an experiment.
We're living in a real-time experiment since 1971.
The average lifespan of a fiat currency is 26 years.
We've doubled that.
Every fiat currency in history has gone to zero.
Against Bitcoin, I'm betting on Bitcoin.
I'm betting on gold.
I'm betting on silver for the simple fact that there's, again, not an unlimited number of it.
And that's what money should represent.
It should be finite, not unlimited.
owen shroyer
Well, assets are the key too.
I mean, if you can get land, really is a big asset, owning a home.
That's why rich people own multiple homes because it's a hard asset.
House values, you know, always tend to trend upwards, depending on the market and where you're located.
But usually there's an increase in the price of house because there's an increase in the monetary supply.
So the two things kind of just follow along with one another.
Where do you see gold or silver going?
We've already seen a big increase in the last year or so.
Is that the trend that continues?
tony arterburn
I think there's going to be ups and downs in the market.
Here's something interesting to watch.
Gold, it's broken its all-time high so many times in the last year.
I can't count.
But it went back over $2,400 an ounce today in the midst of all of this red ink everywhere.
That has not typically been the case, Owen.
I remember going back to the first quarter of the scandemic in 2020 when the stock market had its highest day ever and then the lowest day since 1929.
And gold went to $1,100 an ounce or so.
Silver was at like $12, $13 an ounce.
You couldn't buy it for that, but that's what it was listed for on the paper exchanges.
Well, that's it, it correlated with the stock market.
Guess what?
Didn't do that today.
You want to know why?
It's because central banks around the world are hoarding it at a record pace.
Central banks like China, like Russia, like Turkey, buying massive quantities of gold.
The United States is not.
And there's a reason for that.
But most of the central banks around the world are huge net buyers of gold.
And again, they weren't net buyers in 2009.
As a matter of fact, it was almost zero net buying of gold by central banks in 2009.
But the world is moving away from the dollar system, king dollar, as the world's reserve currency, and they're going to gold.
And now with the proclamation from President Trump and Nashville saying if he's re-elected, that he will make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset of the United States.
That's a huge move.
I'm sure in 10 years, we'll have other countries doing the same thing along with gold, adding it to their balance sheet.
unidentified
Hasn't El Salvador adopted that?
tony arterburn
El Salvador has made it legal century.
They have very much adopted that and are doing quite well because of that.
A lot of innovation, a lot of things moving to El Salvador for that.
People advising Trump have said the same thing to him.
That's why he went to Nashville.
And we live in a time where I think the writing on the wall and whatever simulations they're running, the currency system of the United States is dying.
I don't wish that.
It's not something that I think is a good thing because I think people are going to get hurt.
They don't understand a different system.
We've grown up with this.
But we've lost the petro dollar, Owen.
We lost it last month.
It basically just let it lapse.
And nobody's going to be able to do it.
owen shroyer
And this is the problem.
This is the problem with the U.S. media and with our politicians is that they want to tell you this fairy tale about Vladimir Putin.
And so whether he's good or bad is irrelevant.
He is engaged in top-level geopolitical strategy.
And the U.S. is not even at the table, not being taken seriously.
And we're getting our cookies stolen from us by Vladimir Putin on the geopolitical stage.
And so we can see, oh, Putin's a monster.
Putin's a tyrant.
He invaded Ukraine.
And all of that is a distraction from the partnerships, the allies, the BRICS system, and how the petrodollar is about to go the way of the dodo bird.
And nobody really wants to focus on that aspect.
They want to sit here and have Putin, the boogeyman, out there in the field for everybody to point and yell out and fundraise and start wars over.
tony arterburn
Yes.
It's all just projection.
You know, when Putin invaded Ukraine, which it looks to me like, I mean, the powers that be, NATO, this government, the deep state, they wanted that.
They were trying to goad that into happening, right or wrong.
They wanted that to take place.
And the sanctions that were placed on Russia really accelerated de-dollarization.
So, you know, Russia's ruble fell for a while.
Then they talked about backing it with a certain amount of gold.
And the ruble rebounded within about 90 days.
And they were back on their feet after the sanctions.
And they're just moving away from the dollar.
You fast forward.
And I'll give you some figures here.
In 2001, 75% of all the transactions that went on financially around the world went through dollars.
They were made up in dollars.
After the sanctions placed on Russia in 2022, it fell to 45%.
So you're losing share of the dollar being used financially around the world, which hurts the purchasing power of the dollar and it hurts the standing of the dollar, which hurts us economically here at home.
And yeah, they've always tried.
I remember it's the Putin's price hike.
unidentified
Yeah.
tony arterburn
Putin's price hike.
owen shroyer
It's Putin's price hike.
It's Putin's open border.
You know, it's, oh, you, you fell off your bike.
That damn Putin.
Oh, my gosh.
I scraped my knee.
unidentified
Oh, Putin.
owen shroyer
And meanwhile, Putin is meanwhile.
Putin is a serious leader.
We have Joe Biden who's shot.
I mean, he's shot, Tony.
He's done.
And, you know, look, Barack Obama was a disaster.
Barack Obama did so much damage to this country culturally that I don't know if we can ever recover, but at least Obama was like a presence on the world stage.
I mean, at least Obama could show up and have a presence.
Biden is shot.
He is completely shot.
And then Kamala Harris, here's what I've been saying lately.
Joe Biden's brain is broke.
Joe Biden's brain is shot.
It's done.
Kamala Harris doesn't even have a brain.
She never had the brain at all.
And so we're transferring from a dead brain to a no-brain.
tony arterburn
There's something wizard of Aussis in there somewhere, Owen.
Yeah, we're definitely, it's not an upgrade at all.
You know, the Democrats have a fresh faith, but not a fresh brain.
Let's put it that way.
owen shroyer
Or any fresh policies.
I mean, that's the big thing.
And I don't think either one of us, I mean, look, in a fair election, one person, one legal vote, one person, one vote.
I don't think Trump loses.
My guess is he probably gets close to 300 electoral college votes, if not more, but we're not going to be dealing with a fair election.
And I think this thing is right on the edge and could come down to Nevada and Arizona at the end of the night.
And so to me, when I look at the next 90 days with Biden apparently in charge, I see the world leaders, all sides, all sides right now, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran.
I see them all basically looking towards the U.S. and either saying, okay, we've got a blank check, or, okay, we've got somebody that's not even present at the negotiating table.
And so this is going to have a negative impact on us in the next 92 days, no doubt about it.
And then in the next 60-some odd days between the, let's say Trump wins, then that'll be even crazier between that and Trump getting back into office, I think, because now the Democrats are going to do so much damage on the way out.
I mean, they're basically just going to, you know, figuratively destroy the White House, destroy the country on their way out, and then just say, see, Trump get it.
tony arterburn
Either way, we're in a season of war and we need God now more than ever.
We need to have prayer and reflection and we need to work on ourselves and what's in front of us.
You know, you want to change the world, you change yourself first.
You know, we get caught up in politics, and it's important.
Politics are important.
Like Plato talked about, if you don't pay attention to politics, you get end up getting governed by your inferiors.
owen shroyer
Oh, man, are we there?
tony arterburn
Oh, that is us, Rit Lars, in the United States.
And a lot of it comes if you really understand the system, which is I've been trying to do for decades now in my own study and what I do.
And I just find that my wheelhouse kind of goes back to when you have fake money and you have a fake system, it creates fake people, fake wars, fake news, but real consequences.
So we have to continually be vigilant, know what we're up against, know what the real war is, and act accordingly.
Unfortunately, this is the age in which we live.
The good news is, is that we're here for a reason, those of us who are aware.
owen shroyer
Well, I do believe in that.
And, you know, I would say this, and this is kind of my frustration.
And I look at all these videos of the Trump haters that still exist.
And, you know, the good news is it's nowhere near what it used to be in like 2016, right?
I think a lot of people have come to their senses in some way, shape, or form, or at least dropped the hatred.
You know, the Democrats can't really run on Trump hatred.
It's just, it's just not there.
But there's this frustration where I just, you know, I just look at potential.
I'm a big potential guy, and I see the potential the United States of America has.
And I see the potential that we have if we just rally behind Donald Trump.
And it's a frustrating thing because I'm not somebody that's looking for Trump to be my friend or leader.
I'm not saying he's the perfect guy.
I could do whole segments about negative things on Trump.
I mean, there's a thousand things you could complain about Donald Trump.
I mean, I'm probably top 10 people, maybe even more, that's put my neck out there for Donald Trump.
And I don't get jack crap.
He doesn't come on my show.
He goes on Aiden Ross's show.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Despite all of this, I've been arrested four times for Donald Trump.
I don't even care.
My point is that I see the potential.
And I'm just like, look, I could have all kinds of beef with Donald Trump.
I could easily turn my back on Donald Trump.
It's not about me.
If we could just rally behind Donald Trump, I mean, truly, if we could just unite and rally behind Donald Trump, I see the potential.
And that's what drives me crazy, Tony.
Again, I'm not saying Trump is some worthy of praise or he's the greatest thing ever or anything like that.
No, I'm just saying here's a guy clearly fighting for the country.
Here's a guy who's clearly our best option.
Here's a guy that just politically, pragmatically, if you don't choose him over the opposition, I just wonder if you have a brain.
And so I'm just like, let's just, let's rally behind Trump.
Let's get him back in the White House.
And then we kind of see what we want to do from there.
And I just, if we could just rally behind Trump, it was a specific video from Atlanta where there's this black woman and she's yelling at a black guy for supporting Donald Trump.
And he's like, hey, hey, he's like, calm down.
She's screaming and everything, cursing.
He's like, hey, calm down.
Like, what's your problem?
Why do you hate Trump?
Let's talk it out.
And F you, F Trump, racist slavery, blah, blah, blah.
And it's just like, lady, lady, you don't have to love Donald Trump.
We're rallying here for a better country.
We're rallying here for a better America.
Like, I don't, I just, it just, it wasted potential is like my number one pet peeve.
I don't know what it is, Tony, but like wasted potential drives me crazy.
And I know that the American people and America has so much potential.
It has so much potential.
And right now, the way to get closer to reaching that potential is rallying behind Donald Trump, despite the differences, the negatives, whatever.
And it just, it just drives me crazy because it's the same issue.
It's the lies.
It's the propaganda.
It's the corrupt politicians.
It's the military-industrial complex.
It's our own fellow Americans sometimes.
And so it just drives me nuts.
That's my rant, Tony.
I don't know if you want to respond to that or maybe just answer me one question before I go.
Just answer me before I let you go, rather.
Tony Artiburn, the Tony Artiburn Raider, radio transmission, founder of Wise Wolf Gold, and a champion weightlifter, by the way.
All right.
Over under, over under, over under 10, how many abortions has Kamala Harris had?
tony arterburn
That's a good one.
I haven't thought about that.
Oh, gosh.
You know, are we talking double digits, man?
You have to, a lot of the times.
owen shroyer
Hey, look, you know, she wasn't celibate.
tony arterburn
Well, no, I mean, and that's a lot of her career is kind of made on that made in that room.
owen shroyer
I'm saying, I'm saying.
tony arterburn
Well, and we both know that a lot of the people of that political ilk, you know, the deeper you go, you find that they celebrate that.
It's like a ritual.
It's very much, you know, something that they do to celebrate their own existence and make the sacrifice.
I don't know.
It's not zero.
Let's put it that way.
In my opinion.
That's a good question.
I didn't even, I didn't, you always ask me every time I've been on your show, you throw something to me I haven't thought of, but that's a good one.
owen shroyer
We're asking the real questions here.
Well, I mean, the real question.
Hey, she needs to stand up.
She's constantly, she's constantly swashbuckling us.
She needs to decide what heritage she's proud of.
And she needs to come out and talk about how proud she is of her abortions.
She loves abortion so much.
She's running on abortion.
So let's see her at Kamala.
How many abortions have you had?
Tell us.
You're so proud.
How many abortions has your husband, Doug, forced on women?
I'd like to know these things.
tony arterburn
Well, if she's elected, there'll be one more at least, the whole country.
unidentified
She'll abort the United States of what's left of the Republic.
tony arterburn
So, you know, I agree with that.
owen shroyer
You know, there it is.
One final abortion to end them all.
All right, Tony Arterburn.
I'll be on your show soon.
The Arderburn Radio Transmission, also on AM Radio out of Branson, Missouri.
I'll get back to Branson soon when I'm done with this federal travel ban.
Always good to catch up with you.
Godspeed, brother.
tony arterburn
You too, brother.
Appreciate all you do.
unidentified
All right.
tony arterburn
Talk soon.
owen shroyer
Good night, friend.
You know, we probably shouldn't joke about all the abortions Kamala has had.
It's really not that funny, I guess.
It's kind of sad, actually.
unidentified
But nonetheless, here we are.
owen shroyer
Nonetheless, here we are.
All right, let me check on something here before I open the phone lines.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, if you were with us last week, you know, I made an announcement that, well, first of all, for serious news first, FOIA request, we will know by the end of the week from the Butler County Police Department.
We will know 100% by the end of the week their response to our FOIA request.
100%.
Probably I will have news for you either Wednesday or Thursday afternoon.
100% guaranteed from our FOIA request into Butler PA.
So that's a serious thing.
Second thing, if you were with us last week, you know, I said all the products in the store, all the products in the store, it was your last chance to buy.
So I'm a man of my word.
I'm a man of my word.
I'm not going to do these types of sales techniques.
I'm just going to be front, up front, straight with you.
The old store is gone.
All the old products are totally gone at owenschroyer.store.
They're all gone.
So I hope you got your merchandise that you were thinking about before it's all gone.
Now, the good news is, the good news is we do have new merchandise.
And some of this stuff I like a lot.
So here you go, ladies and gentlemen.
The new merchandise at Owenschroyer.store.

Everything comes in women's.
We don't forget about you ladies out there.
You know, we're one of the few stores.
Can I just say this?
I'm proud of this.
We're one of the few stores at Owenschroyer.store that puts everything in women's.
Did you know that?
Did you know that?
I'm proud of that.
We don't forget about the females in this audience.
Owenschroyer.store is one of the only stores out there where every shirt we come out with also comes in ladies.
So just remember that.
Just remember that.
So here's the new products.
The you missed Trump middle finger tea.
Now, I have to admit, this one is my favorite, so I'll save that for last.
The bulletproof Trump 2024 T. Bulletproof Trump 2024 T. But I've got to say, this is my favorite right here.
The Trump, a convicted felon, a fine convicted felon, Trump 2024.
That's nice.
All colors do we have this in?
We got the Heather White.
We got the Vintage Black.
You got the military green.
Vintage Royal.
Vintage Navy.
Premium Heather Gray.
The vintage red.
That vintage red is nice.
I think I like the white the best, though.
I think I like the white the best.
Now that's in the tri-blend.
We also have it in the cotton.
So you've got your white, gray, blue.
That blue is nice.
A couple different blue options.
And then your red.
I got to say, this is my favorite.
I think this just straight up in the in the in the Heather White.
I think that's my favorite right there.
A fine convicted felon 2024 Trump.
That's nice.
That's nice.
You got to like that.
So there you go.
There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
The new products have arrived at Owenschroyer.store.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
We'll take a couple phone calls now.
How about that?
Let me get the phone lines open and we'll go to the phone lines.
Remember, it's direct line to line.
I pick up, I ask you your name, where you're from.
You're on the air.
This all happens right on the air.
It's just me and you.
747-255-60, 747-255-60.
Number is on the screen.
All right.
So we take our first call of the night.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
What's up, Owen?
It's Drew from California.
Call me, Florny.
I'll try to make it very short.
owen shroyer
All right, Drew.
unidentified
So I wanted to say this for probably a month or two, and I couldn't get on, you know, Infowars or on here.
And if I got on here, I forgot.
The abortion thing.
I hate abortion.
I used to be for it when I was younger.
Now I'm totally 100% against it.
But this is one argument.
I've never heard you or anybody else use this before.
When they're, I know you're not out and about.
If you're out and about and get in an argument, say, you're aborting trans babies.
You're aborting gay babies.
You're aborting lesbian babies.
How do you think that'd make them feel?
owen shroyer
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
unidentified
Okay.
The pro-abortion people, if you went up to them and say, how do you know that?
owen shroyer
Oh, oh, oh, okay.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
I'm sorry.
That's all I needed.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
I understand the context now to use that.
Okay.
To say, hey, well, so just so everybody understands here the context of what you're saying, I get it now.
You're saying, hey, what if you went up to the pro-abortion liberals and said, hey, you could be aborting a gay baby.
You could be aborting a trans baby, right?
Well, I think that the proof is already in the pudding that this would not change their opinion one bit because they abort black babies at the highest per capita ratio.
You bring that up to them and they don't give a damn.
unidentified
Correct.
owen shroyer
So they virtue signal.
unidentified
That would be a really good.
owen shroyer
I think it is an interesting point.
It's an interesting point just to see how they respond.
But you and I both know it's not going to make a difference for the same reason they don't care about aborting black babies, but they virtue signal for black people all day long.
unidentified
Other than that, Owen, awesome show tonight.
And those people you had on previously were awesome.
We're awesome.
Anyway, I'll let you get on with the rest of your show.
And I really want you to start growing some vegetables in your backyard.
owen shroyer
You mean like a Joe Biden?
unidentified
No, like actually growing up.
Oh, food.
Some vegetable.
Some edible vegetables.
owen shroyer
Some food.
unidentified
Some cupup vegetables.
owen shroyer
Okay, got you.
Sorry.
I just had to make sure we were on the same page with that.
unidentified
All right.
All right, Owen.
owen shroyer
Thank you for the call, Drew.
By the way, programming note: tomorrow, I'm going to be having Myron Gaines of the Fresh and Fit podcast on my show.
Tomorrow, Myron Gaines from the Fresh and Fit podcast, very popular podcast for men.
I know he's been on Infowars before in a X spaces during a late night spaces.
I don't know if he's ever been on our actual scheduled shows.
So there you go.
Looking forward to that interview tomorrow.
Going to talk about the Trump assassination attempt.
You know what?
How dare you say that?
How dare you call me weak?
Are you kidding me, buddy?
Get out of here with that.
Go do a pull-up.
How dare you insult me?
Yeah, I don't sit at the gym doing bicep curdles all day long.
I don't really care if I have the biggest biceps or not.
I'm doing 50 pull-ups, 500 push-ups, sit-ups.
I'm going for longevity here, buddy.
Don't you come at me like that.
Don't you come at me, Nick.
Arms are shrinking.
All right, that's it.
I'm going to have to, I'm going to, you know what?
Now I'm going to have to get off the air early and go lift because of this.
So you thank Nick for that.
When I sign off early tonight, so I can go to the gym and lift.
It's Nick's fault.
So that's on him.
And the Rumble Ranch, that's on you, Nick.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, all.
This is Al from Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
You say, I'm sorry, you broke up.
Who was calling me?
unidentified
This is Albert from Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
Hey, Albert, what's going on?
unidentified
I'm joking at me.
tony arterburn
I just had to do that, man.
owen shroyer
What are you?
What are you?
Who is this?
unidentified
I'm sorry, dude.
Carry on.
tony arterburn
I'll hit you back.
I'll hit you back.
owen shroyer
You don't ever, you don't ever come after my physique, and you don't ever come after Albert.
All right, fine.
You can come after my physique if you want.
That's fine, but you will not come after Albert.
Not on my watch.
Not on my watch.
Will you come for Albert?
He might get a rebuttal before the end of the night.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, this is Thomas out of Olympia, Washington.
Can you hear me okay?
owen shroyer
Yep, I got you, Thomas.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Hey, I called him before about the Steven retention.
I don't know if you remember.
owen shroyer
Yeah, yeah, I've talked about that before.
unidentified
Yeah, so here's like my thing, man.
Like, I love you guys.
I love you and Alex.
You know, I watch you guys when I can.
My question is, though, like, it's like looking at a mirror, man.
You talk about like the Jews.
They're the ones running the porno industry.
Like, something like 94% run porno, like the Jewish people.
Like, like, no one ever, like, if you talk about it, you automatically get called an anti-Sem, you know, semi.
Like, I'm just kind of curious, like, you ever like, I don't know, think about it out loud.
owen shroyer
Okay, well, I mean, let's let's talk about your subject here.
If you, if you talk about, and it's not just the porn sites, it's these habitual dating sites as well.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
OnlyFans too.
Only fans.
owen shroyer
Yeah, they are run by Jewish individuals.
Now, here's my thing.
I don't really lean into these types of topics, even though it's fair for that conversation when people want to talk about the JQ or Jewish influence over culture.
At the end of the day, I don't really lean into that for a couple of reasons because anybody can own, can run these companies.
You can get into why it's run by Jews.
But, you know, more importantly, I would say that that's not institutional control over your life, not like Congress.
So I'll call out Israel's control over our Congress and foreign policy.
I'll call out APAC because that is institutional control with results.
You that can hear my voice, you have the choice not to consume pornography and not to use these habitual dating sites for, you know, let's say degenerative behavior.
unidentified
Okay, I do, though.
I'm 41 years old, but like you look at the average kid that's home by himself all day.
They're getting into like pornography and they don't, they don't know any better.
owen shroyer
Well, did you say you use a dating site?
unidentified
No, I don't, I don't do any of that crap, man.
Oh, oh, oh.
Well, I'm just saying, like, you were talking about dating sites.
Like, they also made, like, it's also like OnlyFans Ranby.
owen shroyer
Well, I would just say, and, you know, because look, you know, this is a real issue.
To young men listening that think the only way you can meet a girl is on a dating site, you're just 100% wrong.
Just try going out and talking to a girl.
You might be pleasantly surprised that, um, yeah, you're gonna fail.
So, what you're gonna fail at anything you try a couple of times, but eventually you're gonna succeed.
So, you don't need a dating app, you just don't.
Um, it's kind of the easy, it's kind of the easy way out, and really it's gonna hurt your social skills or even your dating skills in the long run.
unidentified
Yeah, 100%.
I'm just saying, though, man, you take like the average kid that's like at home by himself all the day from like a single mom household or whatever, or single parent, and like they get you know, they get wrapped, they get wrapped up in the porn.
Porn's free, like 100% free.
It's like the only drug that's like 100% free, and like their mind's corrupted by like 13 on.
owen shroyer
And it is, and it is a drug.
Let's be clear: I mean, what porn does to your brain is very similar to what drugs do to your brain.
unidentified
Yeah, it's a dopamine, yeah, dopamine issue.
But the thing is, though, T, you were also talking about the military.
I was in the military for 12 years, so you have all these people that are just like already screwed up in the head joining the military, and then it weakens the military, and then like it didn't like to add on to like the pharmaceutical stuff.
Like, that's also like a Jewish rand industry, mostly part kind of like a circle that goes around and around and around.
owen shroyer
You know what?
I don't know much about that one.
I mean, the only name that comes to mind is Burla, but isn't uh, I mean, I think Johnson and Johnson, that's not a that's an America-owned company.
I think they're based out of Florida.
I don't think those are Jewish people.
I don't know, I could be wrong.
I haven't seen as much.
People have really dug into the porn deal and how it's like 90% of it's run by Jews and 90% or something.
unidentified
I think, like, yeah, 94%.
It's like, I don't know, man.
It's like, I'm not, I'm not trying to like purposely just bash on like the Jews, but it's kind of like you got to kind of put like one and one together here.
owen shroyer
Well, look, like I said, I don't really lean into that because anybody can go out and invest in those industries or be a part of those industries.
I mean, you can go as far back as even Girls Gone Wild.
Same thing, same thing.
Go look into the guy that did Girls Gone Wild.
I'll tell you in another, I don't know if it's similar, it's kind of different.
It's kind of a different wing, but there's a documentary out on Netflix, and I'm not promoting Netflix, but I did watch this documentary called, I think it's called like a pop star life.
I don't know, it's about Lou Perlman.
That was an incredible watch with a lot of weird stuff in there.
So, yeah, there's fair questions, but I'm a free market guy, and I think that for whatever reason, Jewish people really know how to take advantage of the free market.
Now, there might you can get into some debates about perversion or wanting to pervert cultures that they inject themselves into.
But to me, I focus on institutional control, so I don't really lean into the porn stuff or the Hollywood stuff as much, even though there's a lot of abuse that goes on there too.
I don't have to watch Hollywood, I don't have to watch adult entertainment, but I do have to pay taxes, I do have to live with the results of Congress.
unidentified
And so that's why I focus on the point out, though, too.
I mean, we're talking like you and me, like people paying taxes.
You gotta remember, though, man, like you gotta like put they're going after the roots of America with the 13-year-olds, but at home, they can't do anything about it, and they're just like watching pornography or like playing on the computer all day.
That's what I'm kind of like more worried about because that's like the long-term effect, you know what I'm saying?
owen shroyer
I understand completely.
And you know, I think that it's ironic as I'm responding to a message here on my smartphone.
Um, because I was talking about this earlier today on InfoWars, but you know, I still watch sports every once in a while, and um, I like to enjoy the games.
Uh, I don't really watch anything else, but I'll watch a game every once in a while.
I'll go to a game, and there's a lost art.
There's a lost art in that when I was going to games as a kid, there were no smartphones.
Everybody was invested in the game, everybody was invested in what was happening on the field.
Now, everybody's either invested in their smartphone or they're invested in something else, or they're invested on something going on in the screen over here, or some other interactive activity over here.
And the overall product and atmosphere of a sporting event has suffered immensely.
I think the most in baseball, it doesn't even have to be like a sporting event.
unidentified
I go up to like Lake Washington near Seattle, and people are just like there's like Mount Rainier like right in front of you.
This trend, you know, this huge, like, it looks like a painting that people are just like playing on their phone the whole time, not even like looking at the goddamn mountain.
It's insane.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
So it's, it's, um, and I just look at it as kind of a larger cultural thing.
I just use the sports as an example.
It's that people are invested looking down in their smartphone.
They're just not invested in the real world anymore.
And they miss everything that's going on right in front of their face.
All right.
Interesting points.
I got to jump to another caller.
Good call.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name where you're from?
albert in pennsylvania
Okay, this is actually Albert from Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
What was up with that?
I mean, I guess it's nice.
You're getting impersonated now.
albert in pennsylvania
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess I'm famous now, but I mean, he doesn't.
You could tell right from the get-go because he didn't have the Yenser accent going on.
You know what I mean?
owen shroyer
Well, that's why I was confused.
I was a little confused at that.
And his phone line was breaking up a little bit.
So I was like, oh, maybe it's just a bad connection.
And then he doubled down.
I was like, oh, maybe it's a different Albert, but then it was a joke.
I don't know.
albert in pennsylvania
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clown world, clown world.
But yeah, yeah, huge shout out to the gear on.
I'm going to check out after the show here.
But I just wanted to touch on something that your guest Tony there was talking about.
The whole financial, I guess you could say, collapse or to or to crash today.
It reminds me almost exactly what they said was going to happen.
There's a documentary I watched called it's called like the end of the road, how money is worth nothing or something like that.
And I forget it was made right after the right after the 08 crash.
And I believe it still might be on Prime or one of the streaming services, but it basically talks about how the dollar isn't a form of money that it's currency, and how the first dollar in existence was basically printed out of thin air.
And the current monetary system is just one big kind of Ponzi scheme, very similar to something that Bernie Madoff was running.
And that eventually, you know, with a major catastrophic event, it's all just going to fall in like a house of cards.
And I just think that, unfortunately, we might be starting to see the beginnings of that.
And I've heard a lot of commentary actually from Jay Dyer, who is probably a little bit more into Bitcoin than I am.
But he's made some very good points as to how the monetary system that we have now in America is worthless.
And I heard Chase last night on the Sunday show saying about how pretty much if the US dollar isn't propping up the used to prop up the oil trade, then it's just going to fall into thin air because that's basically the only grounding we really have in the dollar is that it's used to trade oil with.
And I unfortunately think that might be coming to an end if Trump doesn't get back in office.
I think that might that might be going to the to the Russian rupee as I know you have said before.
And so I don't know.
I just kind of wanted to maybe get your thoughts on that.
Like if you think that we're starting to see the beginning of something bigger, you know.
owen shroyer
Well, I would certainly be preparing for that.
And that's not to say, I mean, you know, because I'm somebody that practiced what I preaches.
I'm not going all in on a collapse per se.
But, you know, I make certain measurements.
I make certain decisions that should there be a total Total collapse.
I'd like to think I'm braced for impact.
albert in pennsylvania
No, no, absolutely.
And I've always kind of avoided getting very heavily invested in the stock market.
And I've always been a precious metals type person with gold and silver.
I feel that I'm more comfortable with it than I am a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, even though I fool around with that a little bit.
But I just worry that the next few months are going to be, or the next election specifically, I think, is going to be very pivotal as far as what happens to the U.S. dollar and the greater global economic system,
you know, following that, you know, especially if they're able to steal it again, then, you know, I think we might be looking at a very different landscape, you know, where the United States not only isn't looked at anymore as a world leader on a military or political stage, but that we're not even looked at as an economic world leader.
owen shroyer
Well, the signs are all around us.
And I think that, you know, to look at this from a practical measurement, it's if you're in the middle-class America, can you afford to buy a home?
If you're in middle-class America, can you pay your bills monthly and fill up your car?
And if you have an emergency bill, car repair, house repair, whatever, you know, can you afford that and not go broke or not go into debt?
That's kind of, I think, the practical measurement of all this.
And right now, the answer really is no.
albert in pennsylvania
No, I totally agree.
You know, I was just having this conversation a few months ago with my mom, and she's of she's a boomer.
And she said that when she was, she didn't have a whole lot growing up.
And when she kind of worked her way through college and everything, and when she got her job out of college, her first career job there.
And, you know, she was doing okay, but she said she wasn't, you know, getting rich or anything like that.
But she was talking about, you know, kids these days that have college degrees don't live paycheck to paycheck.
And she said, I always had, you know, a couple thousand dollars of, you know, rainy day money just in case something bad happened.
But, you know, she was living in a, in, in a different time.
You know what I mean?
I think she said she bought her first car in the mid 70s for like $2,000 or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Well, I would say you look at the price of a house.
And I know Austin, Texas is probably not the best market, but I mean, a starter home in Austin, $400,000 minimum.
I mean, you can get cheaper houses, but they're going to be, you know, less than a thousand square feet or falling apart.
albert in pennsylvania
Oh, no, no, for sure.
Even here in rural, you know, southwestern PA, you know, I live a good hour and a half away from the city of Pittsburgh.
And if you want something around here that's livable and in a safe neighborhood and that, you know, you would, you would want to live in, it's getting to the point where you're pushing 200,000.
And I mean, growing up as a kid, you know, 20 years ago, 200,000 would probably get you a house in a very nice, you know, kind of development type neighborhood.
But, you know, it's getting to the point where anything much beyond, you know, a 1,500 square foot house, you're looking at, you know, quarter million dollars or more.
And I don't think that this type of inflation and these type of price increases are sustainable.
owen shroyer
Well, and now you get into the issue of these big corporations like BlackRock and such buying up the property and they can afford to and then rent it.
So that's a major issue we face that's driving up the price of housing as well.
And I don't know.
I don't know what the easy solution to that is, but it's a debate that we're not even having.
All right, Albert, I got to let you go for one more call.
Good to hear from you, the real Albert tonight.
Glad you're here with us.
All right.
I'm going to take one last call and then I got to sign off because I got to hit the gym now, obviously.
All right, last caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
donnie in oklahoma
Donnie Cosa.
owen shroyer
All right, Donnie, go ahead.
donnie in oklahoma
Hey, first off, Pete Santelli had some info on doing a Pfizer on Fort Washington, Maryland, over some J6 stuff and J13 stuff.
Because apparently there's some sort of intel agency or whatever.
And I've heard your guys, you guys talking about houses, the high price of houses.
This one here, I built new in 99, and it's almost four times higher.
You know, it ain't a half a million yet, but it's pretty damn close to it.
But that's kind of why I quit it.
I quit real estate.
It's at its top now.
I switched to precious metals and other stuff.
And people don't think about these housing as slavery, right?
You got a farm that's producing money, income-producing place, different.
But residential housing, how much is it going to cost to replace a roof?
I spent a lot on this just.
owen shroyer
Well, how many people actually own their house?
I wonder what percentage of Americans actually outright own their house and don't have a mortgage.
I wonder what that percentage is.
unidentified
I do.
donnie in oklahoma
Boy, that's the best thing you can ever do.
It's like people like I was gullible.
My dad, my father-in-law had a pretty good, nice place and boat and everything.
And to compete for my wife, I'm trying to replace how good her parents had it.
So I'm wanting the big and the new.
Well, hey, maybe I needed a used camera instead of a new one, you know, and they don't even think about that type stuff.
You can at least come up with a huge down payment and you can come up with principal payments.
You were most cases, if you know those, don't ever get tied up in one of them, what do they call them?
You know, adjustable rate mortgages.
What a scam.
You still with me?
owen shroyer
Yeah, it's tough.
And I don't know what you do to correct what's been done to the housing market, but it is bad and it's totally unfair.
And it's really controlled a lot by the banks.
But the problem is it's reached this cap where it's almost worth it to rent in some cases because you're going to pay less to rent than you are to own.
And so people just decide to rent.
And the equity is basically, it takes a certain amount of time for it to even be worth it because of all the taxes and interest rates and everything else you're paying.
All right, let's squeeze one more in real quick.
Final caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
bucktooth beaver in unknown
It's Kacklin Rick, FEMA Region 4.
owen shroyer
All right, Kacklin Rick.
bucktooth beaver in unknown
I'm really tired of the weird narrative.
owen shroyer
Yeah, it's already phased out.
bucktooth beaver in unknown
See, saying weird is nothing more than trying to sugarcoat or mask the insult of calling conservatives deplorables.
unidentified
That's all it is.
owen shroyer
Well, it's funny because these are the same people that went after Trump for sex acts.
And now all the sex acts of Kamala Harris and Doug Mhoff are going to come out.
These are the same people that use that said, oh, Trump just insults people with names.
And now they're calling JD Vance weird.
Look, I just hope America sees through it.
It doesn't need to be a big victory.
We just need to get Trump back in there and we'll go from there.
So that's just how I see it right now.
And that's going to do it for this transmission.
You know, we played Vended to open the show, the sons from members of Slipknot.
So why don't we go with Slipknot?
How about we go with Slipknot on our way out to sign off tonight?
We always bring you the best music in and out here.
So we're going to go with Slipknot Nero Forte, one of their most incredible sounds they've ever made.
Slipknot Neo Forte.

owen shroyer
Let's die in the fucking survey of me.
unidentified
I don't know where I need to go.
But the boys are freezing and they know it's in the eyes.
And hard, chiseled and psycho of the charge.
That's what you do, baby.
You're mine and I'm not that ain't nobody than the middle than the urban.
You can do your worst in me, I'm the unbelievable master.
You must have nobody to middle the earth on me.
You can do your worst in me, I'm the young man.
That's what you do, man.
I know, and even if I did not rise now, many would believe it.
Stand up and resist the change of other people of illusion, sick with prayer.
I wasn't enough.
You let me drive ways where you ended up.
Oh, you're lying and fake.
I hope the truth is not too late.
That's what you do, best.
Two minds and a month, and there ain't nobody to the middle of the earth on me.
You can do your worst and make up my bed.
I'm a Jew, Jules.
Two men of my mother's on the earth on me.
You can do your worst to me.
I'm the end of my bed.
I'm a dude to burst.
That's what you do, best.
That's what you do next.
That's what you do best.
But was it easy for you?
Did I deserve the abuse?
I can't believe I learned it.
Not what I wanted.
See through your bullshit.
You're so traumatic.
True to your former every disquiet.
I'm intimidated to the very end.
It'll never happen.
Was it all lies?
Running motherfucker.
That's what you do, bad.
Oh, that's what you do, bad.
Two minds and a mouth that ain't nobody done the urinal man.
You can do your worst and me, I'll be in the motherfucking bass.
Two minds and a mouth, and ain't nobody to the middle of the year no man.
You can do your worst to me, I'm the end of my death, I'm a Jew, Jules.
You can do your worst and me, I'm the end of my name.
That's a Jew, Jules.
You can do your worst and many other things, that's what you do to best.
That's what you do.
