Beans The Brave Saves The Day

SPEAKER_00 2:03

right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to the Arterburn Radio Transmission. I am your host, Tony Arterburn. It is the official broadcast of the apocalypse, 16th of July, 2026. I'm joined in studio, but actually, just off camera on the opposite end of the door is Beans the Brave. She truly is Beans the Brave, ladies and gentlemen. I came up with that name, oh gosh, uh six years ago or more. Um I guess I didn't want her to call her Beans the Cheweeney. And uh yesterday, I was up on my mountain in the uh in the Ozarks, and these two big black dogs, I mean, just huge dogs, uh, came out of nowhere and they were growling. And I thought, that's not my dog. I turned around and beans ran off the porch and ran these two giant dogs off. So the fierce Chihuahua strikes again. I think she is scratching on the door, so the teen might um let her back in so she can she can protect me from woodland creatures, bad vibes, and intruders. But um, folks, interesting last week. I was

Inflation Tricks And Gold Headlines

SPEAKER_00 3:11

looking at the headlines of uh of Drudge, and I don't know if I'm gonna go into any of the any of the news aggregation at this point. Maybe we'll steer clear of that. And uh if you're catching the show on YouTube or Rumble, uh on the America Unplugged channel over there on Rumble uh or Twitter, uh, you know, shoot me some questions if you want to engage with me on the show. This is we got some dumpster fire headlines. I mean, a lot of things are Groundhog Day, the Strait of Hormoes, and we'll get into a little bit of uh the Iran War and how that how well that's not going. Uh, we'll get into some funhouse mirror economics, which seems to be prevalent today in our clown world economic order where things are backwards. I was just talking to David Knight today about uh a headline that I saw, and I said, I'm really glad, David, that I didn't pay attention in school. And that was one of the things that was always worrisome to my parents. Like, you know, he's tests really high. Like, you know, he's got an IQ, everything's good. Um, he he reads on a college level. I mean, I read my own books. I didn't read any of the curriculum or pay attention, but I I got by, you know, I got my diploma. I was able to get through high school, but barely, you know, just past so I could power lift and get into the military. But it's a good thing I didn't pay attention because one of the headlines today that you'd have to you'd have to think critically to understand was that um the gold price fell this morning and dipped below 4,000 because the retail uh data was out for retail sales in the United States, and uh I guess worldwide too, but the retail for the United States was up and it was up like you know 0.2%. And I thought, well, that's interesting. You know what else makes retail sales go up? Inflation. You know, I mean it's kind of like when they said, we've added um so many millions of jobs during COVID 1984 and the lockdowns and the uh the mandatory jabs and all that. If you remember, and I'm like, well, didn't you fire like millions of people too? It's uh there's all these job openings. You know, math is fun, right? And and that thing about math is uh statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics, is that you know, math doesn't care about your ideology or your beliefs or what you want to be true. It just eventually becomes the you know reality. It sets back in. And you can fudge it and you can manipulate it for a while, but eventually it just always comes to pass. And that's what's happening, you know, with this data that you're seeing, like uh gold and silver dipping and even Bitcoin in the doldrums kind of just chopping sideways forever while we have these you know uh spikes in the price of crude oil, which I don't even think is truly reflecting how bad the supply shock is going to be if we continue this disastrous war. And uh again, I'll uh there's an article up on natural news, we'll we'll get into that a bit. But

Lindsey Graham And A Violent Legacy

SPEAKER_00 6:16

speaking of war, uh we lost Lindsey Graham. I guess lost is a strong term. And I don't want to be I don't want to dance on somebody's grave or anything like that. I that's not really what I do. It's you know, my my sensibilities don't really allow it. I'll do I I did find it funny that David Knight this week, I mean, just I think it was even on Monday, was um recalling some of Lindsey Graham's uh exploits and uh some of his lowlights and using his voice. So it's funny, you know. That's the legacy you leave. And I I think it's a anytime this is like a shock, you know, you lose somebody. We're 71, and and I've lost family members younger than that, just suddenly, um, you know, long before the uh the safe and effective uh jabs, uh long before that. Uh and it sometimes happens, you just never know when your time is up, you know. Because again, this is this is God simulation, right? Where you can think you're a god on earth all you want, that you're gonna outlive everybody, and uh that you don't have to pay the tax and the toll of of your life at the end, uh, but nobody gets out of life alive, and uh Lindsey Graham's no exception. If you look back on his life, I I was reading a uh a passage from this uh book on stoicism yesterday, and one of the quotes from Marcus Aurelius really stuck with me. It's like the soul is dyed by the color of its thoughts. If you think about that for a minute, you know, like what we think and what we internalize, what we truly believe. It's kind of like um I heard once that by 50, you get the face you deserve. You know, like whatever your inner world is, it comes out on your outer world and your appearance. And maybe that's true, maybe it isn't. It's an interesting thought experiment. But Lindsey Graham was certainly one of these people who just had an appetite for violence. Not that he carried it out, not that he ever risked his life or was on the front lines, or you know, you can say what you will about Teddy Roosevelt, uh, you know, charging up San Juan Hill or Kettle Hill in the Spanish-American War, but he said uh he said follow me. He didn't say charge, he was there. I mean, he was a he loved war. And even Winston Churchill fought in the uh the trenches in World War I after he lost his position as first Lord of the Admiralty. I mean, that's that's like Pete Heggseth becoming a lieutenant colonel. That's what happened to Winston Churchill in World War I. So, you know, the the past has some warmongers in it, but this new crop of people, uh, especially in the you know, post-Cold War, uh the uh the Crusades of America, the neocons, very pro-war, very pro-revolutionary. I mean, even Trotsky, you know, the the godfather of the neocons, the um the Marxist revolutionary. I mean, he fought. He was a he was a soldier, he was a leader. So this is very new on the scene where you have somebody like Lindsey Graham, and you can just see the energy whenever he would show up on an interview. It was so bloodthirsty. Like he just lived for it. He lived, you know, it's one of the quotes recently. He was like, We're just, you know, we're cutting taxes and we're killing all the right people. I mean, can you I mean that is that's the your legacy like what you leave. It's the uh it's the uh the most anti-Christ thing. Like to be for war, to be for upheaval, to be for killing for the sake of it, uh is anti-Christian. It's anti-Christ, it's the opposite of you know, uh, peace through strength and understanding, and you know, again, sometimes you have to fight. I'm no pacifist. That's the funny thing is I'd probably be more brutal on our enemies than Lindsey Graham, because our enemies are at home mostly. It's more mostly the the you know uh financial banking consortiums and combines and multinationals and the political establishment, you know, the great PSYOP over the American people is the true enemy. We do have some foreign adversaries, there's always going to be that, but at the end of the day, the point of being for America is to promote peace, it's to promote prosperity. You know, even Thomas Jefferson said that the uh America is a peace, commerce, and honest friendship. And you know, John Quincy Adams said America was not designed to go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, it's to be an example. And uh, the reputation that uh Lindsey Graham gave himself over 33 years of service, if you want to put that in quotations, was to push for violence. And it's interesting, like I I think of leaders like Douglas MacArthur, and there's a great biography uh called American Caesar by William Manchester, and I read this on the plane uh coming, I actually read it a few times, but I'm this has been 2003, 2004, and I read that uh going back and forth um from uh Washington, D.C. back to Iraq to finish out my tour. And what struck me is this is you know probably the greatest general and military leader, like a uh you know, little g, god of war, uh since Alexander the Great, and a true genius for it. And if you read his life story, what's interesting about him is that you would you would find rhetoric from Douglas MacArthur that would seem fitting if you were you know listening to Lindsey Graham, except there's an exception here. You know, you have the run-in with uh the North Koreans that Douglas MacArthur had. That was his last tour of duty. You know, he's viceroy of Japan, he you know, won in the the Pacific. A lot of his strategies were just so brilliant. Like he would he would tease the Japanese into uh occupying an island, he called it island hopping, and he knew the the Asian mind, especially the Japanese mind. And he would bypass it. So he'd make it look like he's gonna be on a certain island, they would get there, and then he would leave them, and it was so dishonorable that they feel like they didn't get to fight. And so he had all these genius tactics, but he was he's very brutal. And even, you know, um trying to supersede Truman uh in the Korean War and saying things like, We're gonna drop 70 atomic weapons on mainland China and litter the Yalu River with nuclear waste so the Chinese can't cross over uh into South Korea uh because the communist Chinese had joined the war. He didn't think that they would, and then he was like, you know, you can uh surrender now or face extinction. Like that was that was the rhetoric coming from Douglas MacArthur, but there's a caveat there. And if you read further and you look at his life, he gets towards the end, and this is somebody who spent his lifetime at war. It's kind of like Smedley Butler, who wrote War as a Racket, you know, one of the greatest, most highly decorated Marine Corps generals of all time, or Marines of all time until very recently. He died in 1941. But Douglas MacArthur, at the end of his life, I mean, he lived another, I want to say 12 years after uh or so after Truman fired him. And he begged Lyndon Johnson uh not to go into Vietnam. He's like, the the jungles will swallow uh our boys whole. Like it's like you can't send them there. Uh we have to find a way to codify with other nations to abolish war itself. Like you have to make war unthinkable. He died as a the highest proponent for peace in the world. And you think about like the full spectrum of that life. Lindsey Graham didn't have that. I don't think he would have ever had that. Because there was something sinister, there was some energy that he had that I always noticed that just it smacked my soul. Like I, whenever I would listen to it, like it just it just irritated me. There'd be inflammation in my spirit after watching him talk because there was just something sinister about it. There was a dark energy. And you know, you can find even, you know, I I love George S. Patton, the guy loved war. I always thought it was a comical irony that you know, his birthday is Veterans Day. And of course, Veterans Day is for Armistice Day. So when the guns fell silent in World War I in 1918 on uh November 11th, the 11th uh month, 11th day, 11th hour, you know, 33, when it fell silent, that's his birthday. So I thought it was a little smack in the face because he loved it. He loved the if you listen to his, you know, his poem on being a reincarnated soldier, especially in the movie Patton, which is really good. So you can take that, but he's out there in the field, you know. I mean, that's it's just a different energy. And Lindsey Graham had that modern neocon darkness to him. And we all have to worry about that. I mean, whatever we let seep in, the soul is died by the color of its thoughts, like what you think and what you hold dear, like what kind of legacy do you want to leave? We're all on the planet for a brief moment. And there's a lot of things wrong. I mean, we're living through probably the most stressful period. I mean, all of the data, it's not just the things that we humans have always had to face, like lack of clean drinking water or foods, or economic opportunity or anything, or just stability in the place in which you live or civilization. We've gotten new things on the spectrum that have never been, you know, and maybe they this is God's uh creation. So maybe it's happened before. You know, maybe we run the same plays, you know, with things like artificial intelligence and other things. And maybe it doesn't all have to be bad, but at the end of the day, all that data, all of that stress, you know, and then the lack of character, you get people like Lindsey Graham. And I don't know how South Carolina did it, but there's a there's a darkness around. I I I learned this early in life, and especially being in the foreign wars that I was in and being on the tip of the spear of American foreign policy, it's a small part. I could just I played a small, small, small role, but I get to see it up close. And I just decided after all that was done that I I would not back or support those actions. And again, not because I'm a pacifist, but simply because they don't bring about good. If you look at our actions, um you know, we had we attacked Iraq after all the sanctions and the you know, over a decade of no-fly zone. Um we ran like, if you know what a sortie is, like flight schedules and patrols over Iraq of 40,000 at least. And you know, they couldn't shoot down a single aircraft. So how is that the new Hitler? You know, how is this how is this backwater that we you know took out their infrastructure in the first Gulf War? I mean, how is this going to be an existential threat to the United States? The the answer is it wasn't. You know, we went to war to strip uh a country that did not want war with us uh of weapons that it did not have. And you know, the consequences of that ideology that Lindsey Graham held and John McCain held, and so many others, and people in the the Bush administration and outside the Bush administration, people like Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard, W-E-A-K L K L O Y, the Weekly Standard, they they propose things that were just so preposterous to logic. You take out Saddam Hussein, you don't get rid of one monster and then have no monsters, you have 10,000. And as look at the civilizational damage. It's a to me, I I don't know if there's any other way to explain it, but U.S. foreign policy in my lifetime, especially in my adult years, has been akin to a ritual. I mean, what else could you? I mean, can you can you ascribe just total stupidity to it? That we would up into civilization and keep these, you know, the seven countries in five years and that Wesley Clark stumbled upon on September 12th. Is that rational? Is that strategic? Does that enhance the security of the United States? Um, you're talking about millions of people being displaced, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, killed. We don't know the true numbers. You got to think about declining birth rates, sickness, illness, all of that, like economic devastation. And then the terrorism and all of the all the pain and bloodshed that followed. I mean, you just see those sick people. I swam in the one of the pools, you know, that Saddam had these Olympic-sized pools in different areas. And we went and swam in one of the pools in Mosul, and then years later I watched like ISIS drowning people, and then I thought, you know, that's a just a just a bunch of sick people. You know, like these are sick, demonic, hate-filled human beings, if you want to even call them that. They just degraded, and that's what war does. It doesn't bring out the best in us, it's a necessary evil. And if you relish in it, especially when you don't pay the price for it, I think it comes from a darkness. Certainly hasn't brought the light. I mean, we're not better off than we were. Certainly not more free, not more prosperous. You look at the the fiscal damage, the moral damage. You wonder what, you know, what even Socrates talked about, like the the the Greek philosophers were onto something. You know, the moral fabric breaks down. Uh, and even, you know, James Madison said that uh a republic cannot survive in the state of perpetual war. And Lindsey Graham wanted us in a state of perpetual war. So it is uh something when I see somebody's legacy and we have these moments to pause, you know, uh it's a good, it's a good lesson and it's um something to you know step back and look at your own life. What are you supporting? What am I supporting that is not wholly for the good? You know, what is what am I doing? What am I letting slide? You know, you know, these gray areas that we we all have to to navigate through in our modern world. I think it's uh it's everything starts on the individual level, especially when you have a platform and a and a microphone as big as Lindsay had. And that's the legacy you left. A sad story. And it and especially for our country.

Pentagon Plan To Bind Israel

SPEAKER_00 21:36

And right now you've got see if I can pull this uh this story up. And I will go to if you've got questions, you can go to the chat. I will get to the chat today. But there was um there's an article. Uh let me see if I can find it. Yeah, this is uh the Libertarian Institute. I found it on uh antiwar.com. Um let me put this up. This is you know one of the legacies of people like Lindsay is I don't know what else you would call this, but certainly something totally outside the American character. I mean, the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves. I I guess they they've probably they've probably disintegrated from spinning over the last many decades. Um inside the Pentagon's plan to stitch Israel into American defense. Uh Washington's yearly defense measure has ground to a halt, and one buried clause explains why a widening block of lawmakers wants the whole thing pried back open. Members voted down the procedural rule required to open debate on fiscal year 2027 of the National Defense Authorization Act on June 30th, splitting 198 to 224 as 14 Republicans broke away. Their rebellion turned on Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana's bid to fasten President Donald Trump's Save America Act to the must-pass bill, not on the uh Israel clause. Even so, the collapse handed, so they they did the Israel clause in the National Defense Authorization Act wasn't even stopped on its own weight, but we did get a break because it stopped on the Save America Act, which even so the collapse handed opponents breathing room and preserved an amendment that leadership had already worked to smother. Lawmakers returned July 13th with barely eight working days left before the August recess, and the clause section 219 rides along with them. The pressure climbed again over the weekend with Senator Lindsey Graham, among the Senate's loudest champions of tight defense bonds with Israel, die without warning. Once labeled Section 224, Section 219 carries the formal name, the United States Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It orders the Secretary of Defense to appoint a Pentagon executive charged with widening and speeding joint research, evaluation, and industrial work shared between the two governments. Israel of all the nations on earth, you have to give them this. I mean, they do a magnificent job at self-interest. I mean, well, the the continuity of government of Israel does. I mean, if you look at um Netanyahu's like complete uh uh surrender and uh codification that they did with uh big pharma during the the uh the jabs and everything else, I mean, just first in line with uh is making Israel the guinea pig is is absolutely preposterous. And I think says a lot about his character, but they do a great job at putting their nation first. And you look at the amount of lobbying that they do, and and this is a very apparent the getting rid of uh outspending everyone, you know, to oust Thomas Massey, which I think is a good thing. It just kind of it shows and it's out in the open, like this is the type of government that we have. And um the the the good news with that, I think, um, because of that exposure, it it lends credence to people like me who have been saying for years, like, we need a fresh start with all of this. Like we, if you want a true constitutional government or uh, you know, America first policies, you're gonna have to jettison all these bad ideas. And these bad ideas of you know having the what uh Gore Vidal, I mean, Gore Vidal called this years and years, and he died like in 2012, but he called it for you know decades. He called it Israeli Firsters. That's what the neocons were. And um, it just became so loud over the past uh decade, and especially the past five years. And I think it's because demographic shifts in the United States, um there's been a lot of a lot of sea change internally in the United States, especially politically. And there's been uh even with all the propaganda, there's been a massive uh awakening of consciousness when it comes to foreign policy, when it comes to war, when it comes to uh internal governance and all the rest of that, there's been a, I mean, it's not, it's not as easy. Just look at the death of standard conventional conservative talk radio, which uh I used to be a part of. That's where I started out. And I'm grateful for a lot of those years. I learned a lot. But if you look at the commentary, you look at um, you know, people like and commentators like Ben Shapiro, like they're on the ropes. There's things aren't going well. Uh, and that's just a nod to the future. So a lot of this looks like um, and I especially think with the Trump administration, that they're in a hurry-up offense to see what they can capitalize on before this demographic shift really hits critical mass in the mainstream, and it will. You're betting on uh things like these joint ventures with everything that we know. Like if you would just take five minutes and look at the amount of Israeli espionage in the United States, and everybody spies on everybody, but if they're so-called, you know, our greatest ally, you know, they've they've uh stolen um military secrets and uh operational secrets from us and even missile technology, and look at that and and sold it to the Chinese. I mean, you have incidents of internal steering, even going back to uh the first Gulf War, you know, Pat Buchanan got in trouble. Uh that was the first, that was the first real, I think, shot across the bow uh of you know the paleoconservative libertarian moment in America, which was around 1990 when Pat Buchanan said on the McLaughlin group, which was revolutionary at the time. He said, uh, you know, the only people that want this war, speaking of the first Gulf War, was uh the you know the military-industrial complex and its A-men corner at APAC. And that was considered like, you know, that's the third rail. You touch the rail, you know. And um ever since that was funny, I used to just uh I research all of uh Buchanan's old articles and I just loved his appearances. He was he's he's still alive, but one of the most brilliant men, and especially the The Death of the West was one of the books that that changed my life. And you know, if you go back and you look at his his life and his legacy, like if you typed in Pat Buchanan and then like the the letter A, it would just fill in anti-Semite. And it's funny because I never I read all of his works and I never found anything anti-Semitic in them. It was literally just calling out a political reality that other people thought was very uncomfortable. You know, that this foreign nation has so much leverage on the United States' internal workings and its foreign policy to benefit itself. I mean, you can't really blame them for trying to benefit themselves. It's just we don't have a voice here in the U.S. because so much of our political landscape, and again, it's on its way out, but it can do a lot of damage before that change. And if you know, change in politics always happens slowly. That's the thing about any sort of you know, democratic, whatever you want to call it, like any sort of society based on so-called voting uh or elections, everything is slow. Uh, but this is hastening, and I think this is a lot of uh I think this is an outcropping of a result of a hurry-up offense in some way, trying to get all that they can, especially this codification between the United States and Israel, which we don't share the same interest. Not at all. I mean, to think about the damage that the administration's caused itself, and not only the world and the American people with the war with Iran. It is disastrous on so many levels. And it's not just exposing us as a as a paper tiger, you know, and uh damaging our relations uh in the Middle East, further diminishing the petrodollar, further diminishing the role of the dollar itself in world uh finance and other things that we rely on so we can keep keep the whole thing going. Like we hurt ourselves, and maybe it's on purpose. Um, if you look at the the consequence of uh higher oil prices and supply shock, um crazy enough, it makes the price of gold go down because so many things have to happen uh with you know selling off of gold holdings to buy oil, and it you know, again, it's it's the dollar strengthens because gold is down. All those things can help the dollar temporarily, but in the long run, it's absolutely disastrous. So the the idea that we're sharing the same goals is preposterous. Uh, we never have, uh especially in the region. You know, it wouldn't you look at the first Gulf War, everything that happened after that with uh the resurgence, or if you ever want to, if it ever went away, but you know, the birth of what we would consider Al-Qaeda happened in 1979. It doesn't mean the base, it means the database. It was the CIA's database. And we took that database of Musha Hideen fighters over from the British and the Muslim Brotherhood and everything that they had, you know, through the British Empire had had uh established all those contacts throughout the years to fight the Soviets, you know. And the we had Tim Osman um coming to the Pentagon, also known as Osama bin Laden, you know, in the in the 70s and uh and eighties. So all this was propped up, but you you the accelerant that was thrown on that bad idea uh post uh Gulf War I was just disastrous. And we're living inside of that reality right now. It it really ties our hands uh with you know making a coherent foreign policy. So we'll see what how this turns out. Uh, but I you know, I called it treason. I don't think there's any other name for it. We should never have an entangling alliance that puts our destiny the same as the destiny of another nation, especially when I don't know what we would have in common on that front and in that region. You're gonna hear a lot of Fox News commentators talk about uh, you know, anti-radical Islam and all this. But then you get, you know, um Assad and others, you know, the uh the Central Intelligence Agency and you had uh McCain uh backing ISIS fighters in Syria and using ISIS and Al-Qaeda uh as proxies to carry out foreign policy and to topple Assad, which is absolutely nuts. I mean, Hillary Clinton talked about that in the 2016 election. I thought I was going crazy. Anybody else see this? Like she's talking about shooting down Russian aircraft that would hit our supposed mortal enemy, Al Qaeda, to keep them from killing Al-Qaeda. We would risk World War III with a nuclear power so we could protect Al-Qaeda. That's that was our foreign policy in 2016. I don't think it's gotten any more rational. So, no, we don't share the same goals. And um this is uh a consequence of the the Israeli lobby and uh the the full-blown uh you know mind colonization of these failed policies and failed the gods that failed and the ideologies of modern conservatism um absolutely just kiss the pig on this one. So uh keep a lookout for that. It wouldn't surprise me if we did something or if this just passed eventually anyway and then got overturned or something hit the skids. Um but it's not the future. I'd be a temporary victory, you know, but uh they will lose the war as far as the American people on a long enough timeline, especially as we start to feel the real consequences of the um the financial uh implosion that's on the horizon.

De-Dollarization And The Gold Shift

SPEAKER_00 35:08

And there's going to be a reset and there will be uh you know de-dollarization and all this. The world is is building it right now, folks. It's already happening. The physical infrastructure to make gold, the world's reserve currency, not a bricks currency, not the Chinese Yuan, none of that. It's going to be regional currencies with gold trading houses, uh, because of lack of trust, because we live in a fractured world, uh, because mainly because of the arrogance of the United States, uh, the oligarchs that have put us on a collision course with this destiny, unfortunately. That's where we are. It's nothing really you or I can do about it. All you can do is prepare for it. It's not, it's pretty much a fait accompli. We have the de-dollarization uh rapidly happening, especially since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions that backfired. Uh, you you have countries dumping dollar treasuries, especially places like China that used to be the biggest buyer, now they're the biggest seller. Uh gold supplanted not just treasuries in the last 12 months, but it supplanted actual dollar holdings because gold had gone up so much in price by central banks. So if you read the writing on the wall, which is also in the book of Daniel, it's biblical, has to do with the the gold-silver ratio, if you read the story. But if you look at that, just those metrics alone, the new economic world order is being built. So all of that coming home to roost is it's inevitable. We're going to watch this unfold, folks. And I'm telling you, pay attention, not just to the gold price, but pay attention to the actual structural things being built to surpass and supplant the dollar. Let's

Chat Reactions And America First Debate

SPEAKER_00 37:02

um let's go to the chat, and then I want to get into a couple of articles. Let me pull this off the screen really quick. Hope everybody's doing okay out there. I um looking at my schedule for the rest of the month, I may have a um fill-in host, and thanks to uh Ashley and Jason Barker last time for I always do a great job. I never worry about the show uh when I'm gone if they can do the show. Uh just always great conversation, and it's a smart show, is why I commented it's a smart show when you guys are at the helm, and I always appreciate it. So I try to keep you know, the the commentary here is it's always a bit of some headlines and some hidden history and the chaos of my brain. But I always appreciate everybody being here. Let's see. Um let's go back to let's go to the YouTube chat. Let's see, uh Michael Burnett over there. Gotta love beans, love the story about the little dog that could. She's always been that. I worry about her because now she's you know 10 years old. And uh, but never, I mean, no challenge. I I could be she would attack uh a T-Rex if it existed in this in this reality. If I was if if I was around, she would attack anything. Um she is fearless when it comes to that. And I I love her soul, like she is a fighter. Let's see. Uh I feel 100 years from now the U.S. crusade to take the Holy Land back for Israel is going to be seen as one of the worst things the U.S. did and was the major cause of the U.S. economy fall. I agree with that, or the fall of the American experiment, which is the saddest part of all. Like these are all unnecessary things. You know, this is uh it's a poison, it's fruit of a poisonous tree. You know, and we've we're seeing a lot of the seeds that were planted by people like Lindsey Graham and others, and you know, the co-opting of Christians through the last hundred plus years with the Schofield Bible and other things. Like, you know, I am I never please the the true like uh the bots that are uh so anti-Semitic and stuff like that. I I always make them mad because I'm not. Uh I just look at the government of Israel and I look at the policies that we don't align with what I want. It's not my country. You know, it's I I'm always baffled by that. I people want to know what my policy, you know, or what my thoughts on Israel are. I'm like, nobody ever asked my opinion on um, you know, Brazil. Like, what's your thoughts on Argentina? Does it have a right to exist? I mean, it's just crazy. Like, uh what I just care about my country, you know. Um I've my ancestors came from Ireland and Scotland and Germany. Um, but you know, I'm a Texan, you know, like seventh generation or so. Both sides of my family go back, you know, pre-Civil War. As a matter of fact, I was uh visited um one of my family grave uh sites in up in Whitesboro, Texas, which is in Grayson County, and it's where I live close to that now. And you can go and just see all that history. You know, these are generations of people. That's that's hearth and home. That's history and heroes, and you can even use the term blood and soil, whatever you want to call it. Everybody, if you around the world, I mean Mexico has that, Japan has that, Russia has that. There's nothing wrong with Americans having some sense of home and belonging. That's what makes a civilization. And when you have these policies cooked up over the past 100 plus years, that finally, you know, all the chickens are coming home to roost, and you see how disastrous it is to thwart American interests and our own self, or I mean, the to the benefit of the United to the American people, thrown out the window for whatever the hell this is. And it's just unforgivable. You know, I'm I'm glad my legacy will never be a part of that. Like um, you can go back through my archives for years and years and years. You'll never, I'm sure I've made mistakes, but my heart's always been in the right place. And I I do think that at the end of the day, working towards some sort of America first uh foreign policy, a republic, not an empire, is in the best interest of not only the United States, but the people of the world to become an example. That's what we were supposed to be. Even you know, Reagan talked about that. The the shining city on the hill to be an example. And this, you know, uh Madeline Albright, you know, uh she said that, you know, the 500,000 Iraqi men, women, and children that were uh killed or died because of the consequences of U.S. sanctions, she said this on 60 Minutes, said, well, you know, that was worth it when she was asked if it was worth it. She also said that um America was the indispensable nation. I I don't know if that's the case. Um, but I do think that it when it comes to the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence and human liberty and other like are the ideals that we're supposed to live up to, these type of moves, like the Greater Israel Project and all the stuff that we're doing now, um is an is a knife in that, right? Right through the heart of that idea. It's not a it's not a help, it's a hindrance, right? It it's it's a cancer. And I don't know what stage we're in. Uh but I do know on a long enough timeline the American people will get sick of it. And um it usually will come in the wake of a uh economic downturn, unfortunately. Let's see. Uh I I see one of the it's funny, these these YouTube identifier names, I know that that doesn't mean anything, but like whatever this TCCT said. Uh seriously doubt the Israelis were vaxxed as they claimed. Well, maybe not. I mean, that was the that was the whole thing. Maybe they led the way on all that. You know what's funny? I I did so much research in 2020. We were doing five shows a week, and we just moved to Branson up here out of this studio, and I uh I retained a lot of it. You know, I mean, just stacks and stacks of stuff, but a lot of these little nuggets were forgotten. Does anybody remember at the beginning of COVID 1984, they had um this uh Israeli lab that was like, hey, we just happened to stumble on before this ever happened. We've got the uh the the blueprint for a vaccine. And it was, they called it, they said uh by by blind luck. And I thought, that's not blind luck. That does and just just for that particular thing. Like, and I thought, that's just preposterous. That's not, but we lose like we've been through so much, folks, over the past six years or so, that you can like you forget a lot of those crazy headlines that happened and things that were happening in the middle of all that. That really did, that really did take place. So maybe you're maybe you're right about that. Uh let's see. Uh never miss the McLaughlin group back in the day. Pat Buchanan was the best. Yeah, he was the best. I mean, just it's kind of it was my vision too when uh Billy Ray Valentine and Donald Jeffries wanted to set up America Unplugged. I'm like, we could have like the uh tinfoil hat version, uh alternative media version of the McLaughlin group, which is kind of what we do. We stretched out from 30 minutes to an hour, but I think it's some of the best commentary in the world today because we've got three people without any sort of you know uh agenda other than just what is the truth? You know, what is what is the best way, you know. And I, you know, even when this world of clickbait and um profiteering off of uh followers and all the rest, I I think that's a refreshing thing. I'm proud to be a part of that. So catch America Unplugged on Saturdays if you don't already. Uh let's see. Uh would love to hear your take on uh the read green axis in America on the future live stream. Okay, well I'll I will see what I can do on that. I'll have to uh look in. I you know it's funny, uh people hit me up with stuff sometimes, and I stay so myopic on the uh gold, silver, bitcoin, macroeconomic stuff uh because I only have so much brain capacity, I only have so much time that I'll miss certain things, especially in in uh alt media. So yeah, email me. Go through uh send me links at artiburn.gold. If you ever want me to talk about something, I'll look into it. All right, let me check Rumble really quick and make sure I didn't miss anybody over there. Uh let's see, we've got real Jason Barker and uh Karen Carpenter. Always love to see Karen. Thanks for being there. Harps. Harps was the first in chat today over on Rumble. Uh can't say uh uh enough good things about Harps always in the chat. Makes me feel like, hey, I'm I'm actually broadcasting to someone, which I know that we're going out on WWCR too. I don't mention my shortwave audience enough either, but always uh appreciate my support group. You guys are the best. All right. Uh I don't think I missed any questions, but the chat's active. That's good. All right. Uh let's see. Where

Trump Coins And Sound Money Reality

SPEAKER_00 46:58

do I want to go on last uh 13 minutes of the show? Uh this is what happens sometimes if I get on a stream of consciousness, which if I look at if the headline, if we have a dumpster fire day where it's just like if you look at the headlines of Drudge and the news aggregation, it's like, you know, uh the the White House teleprompter uh tech bet on certain markets, and then uh AI executives and tech people are fearing, you know, the peasants with pitchforks and the data centers. And I'm like, that's probably true, and maybe there's some half-truths, and maybe that's just uh just the the propaganda de jour. I'm not even gonna bite on this. Um, but you have things like um the comical part where we get the uh and David and Knight and I talked about this, but we have the the Trump uh gold coin. They're only gonna make 47 of them. Uh they're gonna be like uh $80,000, $90,000 a piece or some crazy number. I think it's just an ounce of gold, whatever it is. And then you have the the dollar Trump coin, like Sacajawea coin that we're gonna mint. So we've we're gonna cross into the uh the boundaries that the British, you know, with their their kings and queens go on their currency and the pound sterling and uh and dictators around the world. We get, you know, I remember those uh Iraqi dinar with Saddam Hussein's picture on them, and people running out of the bank, you know, the day after or so that Mosul fell and the 101st moved in, and we went in right behind the the 101. That was the first place they sent us was to the bank. These people, like the bank managers and people were like, we didn't even have orders, like nobody knew what to do. They just like go to the bank and run security and figure out what's going on. I'm 23 years old and I go, okay. So I got to watch a currency die in real time, a paper currency. And nobody wanted those Iraqi dinar, but if I took out uh some Luciferian bankster notes, if I took out some good old US dollars, uh that that moved the needle. I could buy stuff, you know. And um that was a that was a lesson I never forgot. I brought it up many times. But we might be crossing, maybe we're crossing into some kind of that territory. You know, it's funny too, like the dollar itself, uh sad story, you know, because um, I hate to break it to you folks. We're not supposed to have prices go up. Like that's not how free markets work, that's not how sound money works. Uh, in a true economy that's healthy, prices go down because of innovation, um, because of the strength of your currency. You're supposed to have a a store of value in your money, right? Because the difference between currency and money is something to truly understand. And when the dollar was decoupled from gold, gold didn't explode, it just stayed where it's always been. So you're you've got to it turn it on its head, right? It's it's it's counterintuitive. The dollar is losing ground and purchasing power, and you have these weird setbacks where we are right now, where you know the the price would go like falls below 4,000. But I if you go look at the like the actual chart of the of the pricing of gold, and yeah, we hit 5,600 or wherever it was um back at the beginning of the year, and silver was at 120 and all the rest of that. Do you have all these like uh market forces, so-called, that are happening in between to cause these temporary setbacks and pullbacks. Uh, but you just got to look to the long term. Like the dollar isn't in better shape today than it was six months ago. It's actually in worse shape. Um, that's not the issue. The issue is all the mechanisms and all the things, the price of energy and the way that uh Wall Street works and the way that analysts work and all these short-term hedge fund people and traders and you know uh the people that are speculators, all short-term stuff. The long-term vision is de-dollarization. And you don't have to be a genius to figure that out. You just have to look at the price of gold to the price of the dollar and then put them, you know, put them together and show the arc where it goes like it just goes like this, it goes apart. And it's going to continue to do that infinitum. You don't have to be a prognosticator or a seer or have some sort of special uh you know uh telepathy or some sort of some sort of gift uh to to peer into the future. You just need a calculator. That's all you need. You know, the the dollar will increase in its expand and its supply, and gold will basically hold the same. And over time, that will dis you know, the disparity will increase. So all these all the clown world economics that are built into our current system, I wouldn't worry about it too much. As a matter of fact, the first thing I did when I got in this morning was buy some more gold uh for the shop because when you have these prices, it's always a good buying opportunity. All right, let's see. Uh I've got uh just enough. Oh, a couple of stories, and we'll I'll just give some commentary on them.

Testosterone Testing And Chemical Warfare

SPEAKER_00 52:35

Um I know we got let's see if I can do uh four minutes apiece. One of the stories off Zero Hedge today, and you can go find it. I don't even need to put it on the screen, but Pete Heggseth, who is uh Secretary of War, uh wants to start testing troops, not only men, but women for their testosterone levels, their hormone levels. And it's getting some pushback and you know, like why and all the rest, but that is one of the most underrated operations that really go on. I mean, if you if you look at the if you read books like uh population control by Jim Mars, came out in um 2015, I believe, you go look at uh books like that and others who've written you know about um the multinationals and uh the the powers that be that use um food additives and uh pollution and other things. Uh this has been talked about for years and years to to screw up the uh hormonal uh health of a population. I mean, we even have Alex Jones talked about this. We had the the gay bomb, you know, like that really happened. Like they we built uh had technology to like you know and drop it on uh pot in enemy populations that uh would use certain chemicals to uh screw with the internal mechanisms and hormones of of troops. Like that's chemical warfare and all that's always been, you know, that they've been pushing for those type of things uh post-World War II, especially Operation Paperclip and some of the things the Japanese did. Uh so that's been you know out in the open, but it's the other things like the constant food additives, the pollution, the microplastics, the um lack of nutrients and all this thing. And you wonder why uh the male population, and I I'm not for performance-enhancing drugs. And a matter of fact, I'm not even really for TRT for testosterone replacement therapy, unless it's needed. But the thing is, if you've not had your numbers checked as a man, you should. Your testosterone is lower than your dad's, and it's lower, it's much lower than your grandfather's. You gotta look at that. Why is that? And what kind of world does that bring about? Like you are gonna think differently if you're healthy. I I re I reflexively understood this, I think at a very young age, I think it was 23, when my uh my grandfather Nick Davis passed away. And I I was uh at Fort Bragg and I came home and he to uh to go to the funeral, and uh he was not quite 70 yet. He was 69, almost uh 70 years old. But he'd been a Cold Warrior, uh, you know, was part of the hydrogen bomb experiments as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, uh you know, had been to Korea and other places, like just like my my dad's father, Morris. And these were a generation of people, these Cold Warriors. Like I just thought when when we went to his funeral, and the one thing I it struck uh stuck with me, like we're putting all these old you know, cold warriors in the ground. He's anti-communist, and he was eventually was a part of uh the Texas Instruments Weapons Division. Uh he would show me, like back in the late 80s when I was just a boy, like he would he'd have a couple of bourbons and you know, smoke a cigar and show me like these catalogs of these weapon systems he was making. And he told me things like in 1997, the Cadillac's gonna come out with night vision. I'm like, okay. So like you know, I was 17, you know, a decade later and watching this commercial with Cadillac, you know, the new um El Dorado with Night Vision. I said he was way ahead of his time and showed me some crazy stuff and the weapons systems and stuff that they were building, and was VP of that operation, the Texas Instruments. So I I I looked at that and I just thought, where are these people? And we're looking around. And it reminds me um in the movie 13 Days uh about the uh Cuban Missile Crisis. And um one of the advisors to Kennedy is like, there is no wise old man to go to. There's just us, you know, and it is, folks, it's just us now. Like we you can't rely on the rational thinking of most of the male populace anymore because of chemical warfare. And that's really what it is. I mean, you yes, you've got environmental, and some of it's some of it can be organic, but looking into the hormonal health of the troops, what you might find, honestly, Pete, what you might find is pumping them full of experimental jabs and other things uh not only risks their just regular organ health and their the health of their systems, but it risks uh their uh their livelihood, their ability to actually function correctly, all of that stuff. So it's not just the outside stuff and the food additives, but the things the military does. So I, you know, I'm on board for that. Get yourself checked. Uh, we're living in a post-uh testosterone world, and I think that really shows. You know, it's it's funny. People would say, well, what about people like Lindsey Graham? And I'll leave it on this. Um, I don't think Lindsey Graham had uh high testosterone. I don't think that I don't, or or normal, by the way, it doesn't have to be high, just normal. I don't think uh I think you get more of those beta type backbiting uh pro-violence things from people that are skewed, like that not aren't on the the true spectrum of what you're supposed to be. Well, they got the way God intended it. It's not supposed to be like it is today. All right.

Wolfpack Updates And Closing Plugs

SPEAKER_00 58:39

Well, and I I have done what I do sometimes, folks, and I hope you will forget. I ran I ran straight through the hour without going too many stories at all, but I appreciate uh each and every one of you. Uh, we're gonna have a big uh push in the next couple weeks. I'm working on a program for Wolfpack. So if you're thinking about uh getting into Wolfpack and stacking, you know, on our subscription service for precious metals, uh, I'm gonna have something to announce next. We're gonna be doing some giveaways and some other things, a new promo code. Uh so stand by for that. I'll get to work on it. Uh a lot of things happening uh here on that front, and I'm I'm really proud of the crew. We've got uh a lot of ground to cover to help protect people against uh the diminishing power of the of the dollar. That is my mission at this point. Um I am uh singularly focused for the most part on that one thing, and I think we're gonna succeed at that. So if you uh if you like the show, you want to support the program, uh wolfpack.gold, uh, check that out. There is uh again some stuff coming out in the next week or so you're gonna want to pay attention to and uh have some giveaways and some incentives and other things. I think that'll be uh a good way to end the summer and go into the fall. Uh we'll be uh keeping an eye out on this uh on the uh war in uh whatever this is, uh Operation Epstein Fury. We'll uh keep keep an eye on that for next week, too. Uh Arterburn.gold is my uh personal website. If you've got uh questions or want me to bring something up on the show, uh hit me up there. It goes direct to my inbox, and I usually respond uh if I if I'm not inundated. So check out arterburn.gold. And uh anything else I can bring up for the show is we got a um paratroother I'm gonna record on Sunday with Mr. Anderson on uh Philip K. Dick, and I think that's gonna be fun. Uh he's wanted to do the show for a while. He's got a always has a copious amount of notes. Uh, so I always look forward to what whatever's in uh Mr. Anderson's brain. So we'll bring that out and I have a new paratrouther up there sometime next week. But uh, you guys take care of each other. Uh Billy always says so in the America Unplugged to burn the place down. Let's not do that. Let's uh let's keep the chat and everything uh healthy and safe for everybody. I don't want to do any more internal repairs, so don't burn the place down. All right, guys. You guys take care of each other. See you next week. End of transmission.
