Hey, guys.
Well, I'm here with my favorite doctor, Dr.
Mark Sherwood here today.
And guess what I just got?
It is a giant box of the Kingdom Crunch cereal.
His new line of cereal called Kingdom Crunch.
And this particular flavor is Acai Bowl.
And let me tell you, it is so, so, so, so, so tasty and delicious.
But besides from it being so tasty, I have Dr.
Sherwood here to tell us why it's so good for you, too, and why it's so amazing and should be in everyone's cupboard.
So what's up with this incredible cereal that you sent me that I can't stop eating, Dr.
Sherwood?
Well, many times when we hear the word zero, we think unhealthy, poisonous chemical, carcinogenic.
Shouldn't be eating it.
That is quite the opposite.
High protein, zero added sugars, organic ingredients, and healthy fats such as medium-trained triglycerides.
Deanna, that should be in everyone's cupboard, in every child's mouth, every day.
That is truly healthy and life-giving for kids.
I recommend it all the way.
Not because I made it, but because it solves a real problem in today's world.
Excuse me, I can't stop eating, but I gave it to my son, Maverick, who also loves cereal, but I don't want him to eat cereal except for this.
This is really, really good.
It's really tasty.
It actually tastes like real acai in your mouth.
And it's packed full of all these nutrients and no sugar, right?
No added sugar?
That's insane.
How is it so sweet then?
Yeah, we use stevia, monk fruit, and some allulose there, all of which, get this, are diabetic-friendly.
They won't raise blood sugar, which is another benefit.
I've had people ask me, can I eat that if I'm diabetic?
Yes, you can, and you can fix your diabetes.
Yay!
Awesome.
Well, this is so good.
Where can everybody find this Kingdom Crunch cereal?

Absolutely.
All right, go to sherwood.tv promo code SHOTS and pick up this delicious Kingdom Crunch cereal today.
Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, we are just in shock with how many of these hurricanes and major storms are ripping and roaring through America right now.
And apparently there's several more that are brewing as well that potentially might be more huge weather systems hitting the United States pretty soon here and causing so much devastation, wreaking havoc along the East Coast and in Florida.
And very interesting timing, too.
It is interesting how These hurricanes always seem to happen and cause so much devastation right before major and very pivotal elections and always right in very interesting and impactful pivotal areas of the United States too.
I want to talk about this and also how it affects our finances and the market right now and go into some other rabbit holes with How this is all sort of playing into the world events, including the Israel War and the Ukraine Roar, which we just sent another couple billion dollars to.
So here to go into this and more is Tony Arterburn.
Tony Arterburn is a former U.S. Army paratrooper, a warrior, a poet, and he's also the host of the Arbiderm Radio Transition, as well as Wise Wolf Gold and Crypto Show.
And he's got a lot to say on this matter and, of course, a lot of knowledge and experience here.
Thanks so much, Tony, for joining Shots Fired for the first time.
How's it going?
Well, it's going great, and thanks again for having me.
We've been in the same kind of circles with people for a while.
We were just talking off air, but I've never actually been on air with you before, so it's an honor.
InfoWars, yeah, we've got a lot of the same friends and circle of friends and people, so it's great to actually finally connect with you.
Yeah, likewise.
You know, in this subject matter about weather modification, hurricanes, I think at this point, the question is not, is it happening?
Is it being used for nefarious purposes for this exact reason?
I mean, again, weather anymore, can you say it's natural?
You know, for a long time, I've been in Traditional conservative talk radio for many years and still carry one hour over there on regular conservative talk networks.
But one of the things that always gets asked, you know, are you a climate denier?
Are you a climate change denier?
That's, you know, one of the main talking points in question.
Climate change denier.
Yeah, you're a climate change denier.
And I just told my audience, as you should say, absolutely not.
I do not deny that they are changing the climate.
And I just throw it right back on them.
That's like a mainstream media kind of leftist talking, globalist talking point is...
Oh, you denied that the climate is changing.
No, I do not.
I actually can see that you're changing the climate because you can go outside.
These chemtrails weren't around when I was a kid.
I have a memory.
And, I mean, you have to be, you have to have such a disconnection from reality not to realize that they are using geoengineering to modify not only the weather, but our own reality.
I mean, this is just a foregone conclusion.
At this point now, it's not in our politics.
It's not in our elections.
Which is disappointing.
We don't get to talk about it.
I know.
They just gloss over it.
But it's real.
It will be eventually.
I've been following this for many years, and I've had Matt Landman on my show who did the documentary Frankenskies.
And you talk about cloud seeding and government intervention and weather going back all the way to the 1920s.
Yeah.
You know, Lyndon Johnson famously signed that weather modification treaty in the 1960s.
The Vietnam War saw Operation Popeye with, you know, forced monsoons and weather.
So, again, since the late 90s, especially...
They've been ramping this up.
We don't know exactly what this...
It's got to be like a Manhattan-style project, like the same way that they did secretive, like the atomic bomb or something like that, because if you actually look at the accounts, and this is just me, just citizen journalist, radio host.
I'm a paratrooper who likes books.
I'm not an expert.
Do your own research, but...
You're not out there working for HARP. No, I'm not working for HARP. All of these things, these programs that they have in place, they really just track back to the structure of them wanting to change reality.
The open question is, what is it being used for?
You look at NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization started back in the 1950s.
This was to push back against the Soviet Union.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, NATO continued to expand.
I would ask people to go look at the reports of chemtrails and how it concentrates over NATO countries.
I mean, you open up in your monologue talking about the Israeli conflict with Iran and, of course, Ukraine and Russia.
NATO is very much involved in the latter, and there's something with that.
So all of this, I mean, these are great questions to ask, and only alternative media is asking them.
Yeah.
Because we're being affected by it.
Now, I don't know about, you know, what the ends were.
Like, what are they looking for?
What's their goal for just the hurricanes?
This is an open question.
But I will say that I do not believe that the weather is natural at this point.
I think there's too much intervention, too much geoengineering, and we can see the effects, you know, causing these monster storms.
Just like you had Colleen back-to-back with Milton hit Florida.
Right.
You're a key state.
Yeah.
Key state.
And it always seems to be highly Republican areas, too.
Very conveniently, yeah.
Yeah, very, very convenient.
I mean, nobody's going to be focused on voting when they're focused on potentially rebuilding their home or picking up the pieces of their life because of a devastating hurricane that was ripping through.
And, you know, Dane Wiginton, I've had him on the show several times, too.
He's the founder of geoengineeringwatch.org and The Dimming.
And, you know, he's been researching this for decades, and he says definitely any of these major weather events, and even minor weather events at this point, it's all geoengineered.
It's all manipulated.
It's all steered.
And typically for an agenda or sometimes even multiple goals.
I mean, this could be the agenda of helping to sway the election and distract people from the election or try to prevent people from voting.
And it could also be part of this lithium and land grab.
I don't know if this is something that you've been hearing about, too, but there's been a lot of reports that right in the path of Hurricane Helene is a large plot of lithium, land that has lithium all underneath it, all in the exact path of the hurricane.
And they need to get people off of their land, they need to get people off of their homes, come hell or high water, and a storm, a perfect storm is the way to get people off of their home and grab that land, just like the Maui wildfires.
So I think that could be a potential goal for this too.
What are your thoughts?
I think everything's on the table.
If you know anything about Agenda 21, Agenda for the 21st Century, it doesn't mean 2021.
It's an entire century of Agenda for the United Nations came out of Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and they put a milestone.
One of the milestones is Agenda 2030.
That's why everything in this decade has been ramped up.
Like you see the news cycles, everything's accelerating because they have a goal in mind.
This is the milestone of Agenda 2030.
And one of those things, one of those goals is to get people out of the rural lands, get them concentrated into these mega cities, smart cities in a control grid.
I mean, this is not me making this up.
This is in their white papers.
It's in their plans if you go and read it.
It's part of the globalist agenda.
So you could have lithium grabs, you could have natural resource grabs, or you could just, again, they could, you know, multiple birds with one stone, get the people off the land, take control of the resources, and they may be using weather for those ends to get people out of the rural lands to make it harder and harder for you to self-sustain and have a homestead.
That's a real problem for the For the World Economic Forum globalist type, for you to have autonomy over yourself and be able to grow your own food, especially when they have a goal of getting you to get in your pod and eat bugs for Greta.
Yeah, exactly.
For Greta, who's just a hired puppet anyways.
It's not like she really believes these things as an eight-year-old or however old she is at this point.
It's not like she really thought one day, I'm going to wake up and say, I dare you on a big stage.
No, I mean, they're probably abused children in the CIA cult that are just fed these lines and they play a role in this big script of this world theater.
And everyone plays a role.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
So it's, and by the way, where is she?
You know, once they play their role, they're kind of, they kind of disappear after a while.
But it's, it's unbelievable.
And you know, what better way to get off people, get off their land, especially those that are heavily entrenched there.
They've been there for decades or centuries.
Their family has been there.
They're Their grandparents, great-grandparents have lived in this land before.
They're not moving.
They're not planning on going anywhere.
And they've been self-sustaining, growing their own food and crops.
What better way than a forest, than a storm to get them off a devastating hurricane?
And sadly, a lot of these people have been displaced and there's really no...
There's no rescuing them.
I mean, even FEMA apparently had stand-down orders or, you know, what looked like stand-down orders.
So many people tried to bring in supplies, tried to help with the rescue efforts, and they were turned away.
That all is just really, really strange.
Just criminal.
Yeah.
It's criminal.
One of my favorite memes out of the last few weeks was Don Draper off Mad Men, you know, and he's presenting some sort of new ad campaign, but it's like, he goes, hear me out.
We put FEMA in the camps.
That's one of my favorites.
Like, hear me.
He's looking at like a blank paper.
He's like, hear me out.
We'll put FEMA in the camps.
I think, you know, this is if you ever wanted to tell about how the government, this government, the occupying whatever they are, the overlords in Washington, D.C., if you want to know how they really feel about you, just look at the last 30 days.
Just look at how they care less about America.
Get $750.
Maybe that's if you qualify.
So somebody pointed out that's like less than the cost of Kamala Harris's belt that she was wearing the other day.
Right.
Like $780 belt.
So, yeah, billions and billions go to Ukraine or go to Israel or some foreign land.
And it's all about the empire.
And, you know, here at home, crumbling infrastructure, these, you know, disastrous storms, hurricanes, flooding.
And instead of...
And that's the thing.
You just pointed it out.
Like, the American spirits, we help each other.
We get out.
We mobilize.
And then you have these, like...
There's bureaucratic soulless automatons for Satan who show up and they're like, no, you can't help your fellow citizen, which is the most anti-American.
That's how we used to just run everything.
We just go and take care of each other.
This was a foregone conclusion, but now we just intervene, and of course, they're incompetent.
A lot of it's just, I think, trying to break us down psychologically where we just have...
You look at everything and nothing works, and you have no faith in institutions.
Well, not that you should, but no faith in anything that you're even taking part in anymore, and they want you to feel helpless at the same time that you need help, which is a really bad combination.
But I just think you're right.
It's something that I'm glad that I'm in alternative media.
I mean, you and I were just set to talk a little bit about the monetary system, what's happening with gold and silver, and I'm glad this stuff's in my wheelhouse because, yeah, I can talk about weather modification.
I'm paying attention.
If you're paying attention and you're somewhat aware of what's actually happening around you, this is something that should be on your mind.
It is taking place.
Absolutely.
It's a real thing.
I feel bad for folks who can't see it.
Well, right.
And it makes me wonder, too, I mean, what else have they got up their sleeve?
What other tricks are they going to pull out?
Because we're still a couple of weeks away from the most important election of our time, if we still believe in elections.
So what else do they have up their sleeves?
I think it's only going to get crazier and more chaotic.
So I guess I'll ask you, what has the last couple of weeks in these events done to the market and to the financial landscape?
Not much, and as far as I can tell, I got that same question a couple of times.
One of the radio execs asked me that a few days ago via text, and I said, well, I haven't seen much.
The trajectory that we've been on, I don't know that anything's going to stop that.
And what I mean by the trajectory of the financial system is that Just a brief history.
In 1971, Richard Nixon closed the gold window and took us off the gold standard, and gold was $35 an ounce.
That was the way that we set it as the world's reserve currency after World War II. At the end of the 70s, gold was like $800 an ounce.
It didn't go up in value.
It's just the dollar lost purchasing power.
We've literally been in a real live experiment since 1971.
This has never happened before.
Yes, countries have had fiat currency where they don't have anything backing it.
That's happened before, and the average lifespan is about 26 years.
But for a country that has the reserve currency of the world, like the United States of America, to have this economic power and then decouple its currency from anything of value so it's free-floating, that's never happened before.
So what you're seeing is the markets continue to ramp and do all these, they have bubbles and they crash and they're always replaced with something else and the Federal Reserve steps in.
But they've inflated this bubble to where it can't be inflated anymore, and it's just mathematics.
At the end of the 1970s, the debt of the U.S., Deanna, was right at a trillion dollars.
Right before Reagan took office, it's almost a trillion dollars at that point.
So it took us close to 200-plus years of our history to go a trillion dollars in debt as a nation.
Now we do it every 90 days.
We go a trillion dollars in debt.
It takes more than a trillion dollars a year to service the interest on the debt and the interest on the debt is more than the actual defense budget of the United States.
So these are all unsustainable things and what's happening I think?
There's no more fiscal accountability, and the average person doesn't understand that if they save the dollars, if they save the dollars that come out of the Federal Reserve, it's constantly losing purchasing power because they're making more units over and over and over again faster than any time in previous history.
Yeah.
You can't have normalcy bias in this financial climate or you will get run over.
So that's kind of what I'm in the precious metals and Bitcoin business.
That's what I do.
And I've been in this for many years.
I learned a lot of lessons about what money is.
I try to talk about that on my shows and when I appear on shows like yours.
It's just trying to get people to understand that what they're watching isn't normal.
It's normal in history if you watch the death of a currency, and I'm not wishing for it because it's going to hurt a lot of people.
But it's going to happen.
We're losing more and more of the purchasing power of the dollar, and there's something called de-dollarization that's happening even faster than I thought possible, which the rest of the world is dumping the dollar.
So all those dollars have to go somewhere.
Well, they're going to be repatriated back home here to the United States.
So again, you watch what the central banks are doing around the world.
They're buying gold at a record clip because they're going to re-monetize all of their currencies.
We're not buying gold in the United States.
I mean, private citizens are, but the Federal Reserve is not buying gold.
The Treasury is not, and the reason is because they're at war with it.
It's a little known secret.
They're at war with gold since 1971 because it battles the dollar.
The dollar is no longer coupled to it.
So this is a lot of things that are unfolding very fast.
The hurricanes and all that, I mean, obviously, it's put a lot of economic strain on that entire eastern seaboard and landfills.
Yeah.
You know, growth and health there in that region, that's certainly affected.
That's all going to, it does have an effect on the markets.
But, you know, they came in and adjusted interest rates right before the election, conveniently.
I thought that they would, which usually promotes the current regime because it'll look like everything's okay.
So they lowered interest rates by 50 basis points.
Wow.
And that boosts the economy, and it's temporary, because whenever you lower interest rates, it's just making more currency.
It's just inflation.
So that's what we're watching right now is, I think, a sugar high of the economy.
Meanwhile, the world's de-dollarizing, and those dollars are coming home, which is going to have a major impact on the purchasing price of the dollar.

Why is Kingdom Fuel so much better than a lot of other supplements and nutritional supplements out there?
This is a really, really good shake.
My favorite, by the way, is the vanilla, but I've got the vanilla and the chocolate.
Well, Kingdom Fuel is not just a protein shake.
It has organic pea protein, full spectrum, full amino acid profile, 20 grams of protein.
But it's also got added to it greens and reds.

It's got vitamins and minerals, insoluble and insoluble fiber.
That is a complete meal, and it's under $5 per serving.
And people use three scoops.
But guess what?
Most people don't.
They use one or two.
So you're talking about a full, complete meal and...
The shelf life is two years if you don't open it.
Pretty cool.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
And if we're in any kind of apocalypse, we can pretty much eat this all day.
You can.

I love this shake.
It's amazing, great, and keeps me healthy.
Wow.
So what should smart, wise Americans do with their money right now?
I mean, how should they be putting more of it into gold and silver and precious metals?
I mean, what would, if you were to give some advice to our listeners right now that they need to start doing and, you know, how urgent is it that they need to start preparing for this, etc.?
Well, I wouldn't say that it's like an emergency, like go out today and like, don't ever close your bank account.
And I'm not going to give any financial advice.
I will just say this.
Whenever you understand the difference between currency and money, when you start looking into that, that's a first priority.
Because that's one of the things I started doing at a young age.
I'm like, I'm going to study the history of money.
Because if I want to make money, I should know what is it?
Where does it come from?
That has a fascinating history unto itself.
But if you know the difference between currency and money, and they can be the same thing, but money has to have an inherent value.
It's like gold or silver.
Back in the days of the Roman Empire, they would use salt, along with gold and silver.
They would use salt, and that's why you get the term salary.
Like when you get paid salary, it's the salt.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Because salt was a precious commodity.
I mean, it wasn't hard to mine in the early part of human history.
So money has to have some intrinsic value unto itself.
The dollar does not.
And most currencies around the world now are the same.
They're a fiat currency.
So what you're seeing is you're going to see more and more currency be created around the world, and this is creating more and more of a debt bubble and less value in those currencies.
So find where you can get value without a counterparty risk.
See, I'm just on my desk randomly, but I've got a one ounce silver coin here.
It's just one ounce of silver.
I'm thanking myself for the prop.
I didn't do it on purpose, but I have a prop here.
Okay, cool.
That house is about $35 in value right now.
Super cheap to buy silver.
So that right there, me holding this in my hand, I don't have counterparty risk.
I don't have this in a certificate.
I don't have it in a vault somewhere.
It's not in a stock that they can just make more of, and it's not sitting in dollars.
But it's also very liquid.
What I mean by that is I can take this to any professional gold and silver exchange in my area, or I can take it, in the worst case scenario, you can take it to a pawn shop.
You can trade it with somebody.
Silver is money.
Gold is money.
So that's one of the things, if you're looking toward, and the world's changing, you want to be out of something that has, well, that some bankster somewhere is just going to make more of, and, you know, infinity.
You want to have something that is finite, something that has value, intrinsic value unto itself, and that you control.
That's where I would start.
And that could be your own business.
It could be your own real estate.
It could be, like, you know...
Precious metals, I mean, eventually it might just be lead.
Okay, so I hear that a lot.
Like, well, gold and silver aren't going to buy anything in the apocalypse.
And I'm like, I agree with you.
And gold and silver and Bitcoin are a bet that there's still going to be civilization.
So if there's not, I agree with you.
Lead was the better choice.
Lead is storable food.
So I totally get that.
So you have to have something that has inherent value in it.
And the less counterparty risk, the better.
That's what I would be looking at in the coming weeks, months, and years ahead as we careen towards this Agenda 2030.
But my warning to people...
Is that it's happening faster than, and this is my wheelhouse, is what I've been studying for years.
It's happening faster than I thought.
Me too.
Yeah, I didn't call.
Like today, gold is broken its all-time high 30 times.
In the last nine months, 30 times.
Now, before that, I didn't see the all-time high from 2011 until I was hosting InfoWars.
As a matter of fact, it was August 6, 2020.
I was in Austin when it hit its all-time high again.
So you go from 2011 to 2020.
And I go, we're about to break the all-time.
I remember a call.
I was hosting the David Knight Show, and then it broke.
And since that time, just think about this.
I started this year off.
I said, this is going to be really wild.
And then it's breaking its all-time high over and over and over and over again.
I didn't call that.
It would be nice if I'm that plugged in.
He's brilliant.
He knew exactly what the price was going to be.
It's almost $2,700 an ounce.
Wow.
And the all-time high in August 6, 2020 was 2030.
Wow.
So we're a long way from where we are.
And I would add this.
When you see gold and silver going up, they're not really going up.
Okay.
They're not going up necessarily in value.
What you're watching is the inverse.
You're watching the decline of purchasing power in the U.S. dollar.
Wow.
Wow.
Gosh, that's pretty frightening.
And at the same time, just goes right along with their agenda too.
And especially part of it being you will own nothing and you will be happy.
Very much.
That's the World Economic Forum.
That's the Klaus Schwabian goal.
You will just be a pod person.
The dollar's not going to zero.
The dollar's going digital.
We could talk about central bank digital currencies.
All the more reason for you to be outside of the system, whether that's your own precious metals or your own cryptocurrency wallet not tied to an exchange.
Decentralization is the key.
And I think there's a lot of opportunity in what's unfolding.
I don't wish any of it because I think it's bad for the average person, but I can't stop the changes and neither can you.
They're just happening.
It's part of history.
Right.
And it's how do you respond and how do you be better prepared for it and how do you turn this into an opportunity.
Now, last question.
I know you're not a psychic Nostradamus here, but what do you predict?
What do you think?
What do you want to happen?
And then what do you think is probably going to happen over the next four to six months here in our country?
As far as the election goes and things like that.
That's a loaded question.
That's a lot.
I'll do my best to answer.
What I would really like is I would...
What I would like and what I think.
These are two different things, possibly.
The October surprise still hanging in the air.
And a lot of people, if you know your history, what was the October surprise in 2016?
Anybody remember?
It wasn't...
People thought it was Trump on the bus with Billy Bush, you know, and the Billy Bush tape, you know, from years ago.
Or the WikiLeaks.
It wasn't WikiLeaks, right.
It was two weeks before the election and James Comey reopened the investigation into Hillary's emails because of Anthony Weiner's laptop.
And when I saw that, I go, oh my, Donald Trump will be president of the United States.
And I just, it's on my Twitter, I predicted it.
I just knew it.
I bet I was not, I was in the Bitcoin business then, but I didn't have a lot.
And I bet everything I had that he would win.
And so it was like 99 against him.
I'm like, he's going to win.
It's because of the, it's the momentum of that.
That was the October surprise.
Even Hillary was like, what is happening?
Yeah, I did not expect that.
Did not expect that, and they didn't work.
So he had the momentum going into the end.
This has been a very strange election cycle.
I don't know how I would even identify what has happened here in this last few years.
I mean, it's bizarre.
Yeah.
Assassination attempts, the prosecution and persecutions, the bias, everything.
The coronation of Kamala Harris without having been voted for no primary, Joe Biden's dementia.
It's up in the air.
We've had a major demographic shift in this country that most people don't realize.
I mean, I do think that we have a history of immigration in this country, but nothing like we've had in the last 30, 40 years.
I mean, you're talking about accelerating it beyond anything we've ever seen before.
There's a, just not counting the, we get, what, 8 to 10 million illegal immigrants over the, through, that broke through the border and were bussed up into the interior by this administration, but we get a million new immigrants a year that are legal, and 80% of new immigrants vote Democrats.
That's 800,000 new Democrats a year.
The Republicans love this, by the way.
They vote for it, want more of it.
You listen to these internationalists like Lindsey Graham.
They want to triple that or quadruple it.
So it doesn't look good.
I mean, like, standard voting-wise, like, it's not...
We're becoming more and more like a coast-to-coast California.
So, you know, my opinion on politics is it's waning whether or not, you know...
It might be why this election cycle, Dana, they didn't talk about almost any issues.
No.
It was just about personality.
Yeah, I mean...
It feels big.
It feels rigged.
And, you know, I think it's probably going to happen what happened in 2020, where, you know, the obvious winner is going to be Trump.
And then, look, you know, all of a sudden we're going to wake up in the morning and and all of those states have moved to Kamala.
I think they probably got their election fraud systems down even more at this point, like a well-oiled machine.
So I have faith that America will speak and we will have the true winner and the best person for our country.
But at the same time, I've lost a lot of faith over the last couple of years.
With the election process and what's really going to happen and just how powerful the deep state and shadow governments are.
When they have an agenda and want that agenda to happen, they will do whatever they can to pull that through one way or the other.
Well, I would say just for those who are wanting Trump to win this election, I would add that just from my analysis going right up until the end here, if you asked me today, I think he pulls it off.
I think it's kind of ugly, but I think he pulls it off.
And the question is, can he govern?
Can he govern after that?
Will he keep his promises?
Will he govern?
Can he govern?
Can he do better than he did in 2016 and maybe hire somebody who actually voted for him?
That would be a good start.
Right, that's a whole other animal.
That's a whole other animal.
I mean, I was a huge fan in 2016, and then we got to...
I don't know what's happened.
So I'm kind of a...
I want what's best for the country.
I think that if Trump wins, then at least short-term, psychologically, I think there would be a lot of uptick in the markets and other things.
I think there would be some psychological easing for those entrepreneurs that wanted to invest.
I mean, just without him even doing anything, because you look at the current ruling regime, they're anti-crypto, they're anti-small business, anti-anything.
I mean, it is bizarre.
They just want war.
Somebody made the meme of Kamala Harris, and if they say forward, it just says for war and highlighted those words.
That's funny.
That's what she is.
They're very dangerous.
The globalist Democratic ruling elite, that is a very, very dangerous set.
It's an open question.
Who's going to win the election?
But I would say just me looking at it from everything I've ever experienced in politics, but who knows anymore?
We watched 2020 roll out.
That was definitely bizarre.
Now we still have the mail-in ballots.
You still have Yeah, nothing's changed.
For Halloween, I think the best Halloween costume would be just dressed as a corpse that said, I voted.
That's a good one.
Somebody to do that, you know?
Yeah.
Maybe I'll do that.
Yeah, I share the same concerns as you.
I mean, I had so much hope and faith in Trump four years ago or so, but the way he handled COVID, the way he handled the vaccines, the way he handled the people that he hired and then betrayed him, but he hasn't really learned from his mistakes yet.
So there's a lot of skepticism on my part.
So even if Trump does win, is he going to do a better job than he did the last term of presidency?
And has he learned from his mistakes?
Is he going to be just controlled opposition?
Is he the better of two evils?
I don't know.
But yeah, me and my audience for sure are skeptical of Trump and I'm not sure.
What to expect or what to think at this point.
There's a very real thing called controlled opposition out there and Trojan horses, and we've just seen them more and more, and Trump could very well be one of them.
I remember talking to the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, which we were talking about on the Federal Reserve, G. Edward Griffin.
And the OG guy has been just around forever.
He's a legend in this space.
And I was talking to him with Donald Jeffries, who wrote Hidden History.
And I asked G. Edward Griffin, I said, what's the number one threat to us right now, to the American people, to freedom?
He's like, oh, number one, controlled opposition.
It's somebody you think is on your side, and they talk the game, but they don't do the things.
They don't actually help you, or they lead you astray.
I just think we have to be very skeptical of any person or leaders of movements or whatever.
Always think for yourself.
Do your own research.
Think for yourself.
Don't just be a blind follower.
Somebody in alternative media watching you is not necessarily going to be a blind follower.
They're going to be somebody that researches.
But you've got to continue to do that, even us as hosts.
I can't fall into a normalcy bias and think I know everything.
So I'm always, if you give me the evidence, I'll change my mind if there's enough there to sway me.
So I try to keep an open mind.
I try to be hopeful because we've had a, this has been a really strange period of history.
It's just a lot of change, and liberty itself is under threat.
It's a mortal threat.
There's some things, if we get wrong, then it's catastrophic.
Whether it's war abroad, which we need to, you know, if you're a constitutionalist, if you're a Christian, if you believe in this country, if you believe in the spirit of what America was founded to be, you must be anti-war.
You must be skeptical of foreign wars and foreign intervention.
You need also to realize that until we fix our currency, none of these other problems get fixed.
Follow the money.
Why did Jesus go into the temple and throw out the money changers?
Why was that the one time he showed wrath and pulled out a whip?
It's because that's the root.
It's the love and lust of money.
It's not money.
It's just neutral.
You can use it to do good.
You can use it to do evil.
But it's the love and lust of it and power of it that drives a lot of the...
You look at the spirit of the people, the overlords in this world that have the wealth concentration.
Not that I'm envious of it.
I don't think they're doing pretty well spiritually.
I think they're bankrupt spiritually, and it shows.
You can just see the looks on their faces, or lack thereof, and how they operate.
What's their...
What is their raison d'etre?
What is their reason for being?
It's depopulation.
That's weird, isn't it?
Like, do you get up in the morning and think, gosh, we just got to get rid of some people?
That's what happens when you get billions of dollars for some reason in this world.
You just start thinking about how we can eliminate people.
So I think just knowing how the game is rigged, that's what I do, is like the game is rigged through like a magic trick.
It's a magic trick of our money.
It's economic alchemy.
And if you know the history of that, then you're a little bit better prepared to take on what's ahead.
And that's the agenda of 2030.
Amen.
Amen.
Well, Tony, it's been so great having you on.
We really appreciate it.
Tell everybody where they can find you and follow you and watch your podcast, too.
Oh, absolutely.
And again, thanks for having me.
Always fun.
And if you want to have me back, I'm sure that none of this stuff is going away.
We haven't even really gone through the deep rabbit holes yet.
This is sort of just a 10,000-foot overview, I think.
Yeah, it's hours and hours of fun.
Well, fun.
I say fun.
Yeah, I think it's fun.
Disturbing conversations about the history of money and what happened here in this country.
Yeah, you can find me.
I just updated my website.
You can go to arterburn.gold, which is my last name,.gold.
You can go find that and it has links to my podcast.
I've got a podcast called Paratroother as well because I was a paratrooper and now I'm a paratroother.
We have some fun episodes, do some deep dives, and then I have my weekly radio show.
It's called the Arterburn Radio Transmission.
It's an hour once a week, just like stream of consciousness.
I'll do that tomorrow.
We'll see what's going on in the news.
And you can find my company as Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange.
We are a nationwide dealer.
We've got two places that serve the public, Branson, Missouri and Denison, Texas, and a membership program.

$50 a month to start.
We'll send you just like this silver one-ounce round I've got.
I've got those and other things.
We send them direct to your door, so go check that out.
All right, perfect.
Well, definitely go and follow Tony, listen to his podcast, and check out the links.
They've been on the lower thirds the whole interview.
All right, guys, thanks so much, Tony.
We'll definitely have you back on.
And guys, we'll be right back right after these messages.
Don't go anywhere.
Second thing we can do is drink water.
I mean, you hear me talk about hydrogen water all the time with our little bottles.
Yes.
We have to have water to live.
Our bodies are 65% water, just like the Earth is.
Go figure.
Right.
Wow, does that not give you chills right there to think about that?
Totally, yeah.
When we drink that water, if we can bring hydrogen in there, it can reduce inflammation, it can reduce free radicals, and it can be calm.
Calm and peace to the cells.
So I don't know how better we can get to those two tips and we need that more today.
Dan, if we're stuck and just locked in to what's next in the news, it's gonna lock us in all right.
It's like locking into a self-imposed prison.
100%.
And you have an incredible water hydration device as well that we can talk about real quick.
I know that you probably have it on your desk right now.
I drink this every day.
This is, you know, forgive me for sounding like an infomercial, but this is the truth, man.
It's on my desk, you know, even before it came alive.
I put water in here about five minutes ago, pushed the button, and this little chamber that's via electrolysis creates hydrogen in here.
And I'll push the button one more time so people can see that.
Really cool.
So cool.
You can see that it puts little bubbles in there.
Really neat like that.
And when I, I'll turn it off and show you when I pull the lid off, you can hear a little pressure, and I just drink the water.
Yeah, you don't want to be just drinking tap water.
I mean, you want to be...
Not all water is created equal, right?
I mean, of course, we want to be...
We want to be hydrating with lots and lots of water as one of your tips, but not all water is necessarily created equal.
No.
Get your water filtered.
You know, Reverse Hot Smokes is my favorite.
There's a lot of little portable filters that one can do from a hardware store to put on your fountain or on your pitchers in your house.
You can get an indoor filter system.
Works pretty good.
We have one.
Or you can buy filtered water, too.
But the cool thing about this is when I drink this, it reduces not just the inflammation of the radicals, but it can make myself self-respond in a younger manner.
That's cool.
Cheers to being young or older, I guess, I suppose.
But it's really important.
You've got yours, too.
It's important to do the right things that are simple.
I'm a big believer in the KISS principle, keep it simple, silly, you know?
And what we talked about is learning to redefine stress, understand the addiction and stress, getting outside and getting away from it all, and then filling your body with the water, which is life.
All right.
That's all the time we've got for today.
