Radio Show Hour 1 – 01/02/2025

[00:00:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West.

[00:00:18] You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:25] All right.

[00:00:27] Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans.

[00:00:29] Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:31] Hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use, no doubt starts now.

[00:00:35] There's so much information, so little time.

[00:00:38] Welcome to the broadcast.

[00:00:39] Happy New Year.

[00:00:40] Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.

[00:00:43] This is the broadcast for January the 2nd in the year of our Lord, 2025.

[00:00:49] This is Hour 1 of 2, and the goal always to protect life, liberty, and property,

[00:00:53] to promote God, family, and country through Saudi radio and the traditions of our founding fathers.

[00:00:57] Yes, indeed, we use the blueprint for liberty, the supreme law of the land,

[00:01:00] the Constitution for the United States of America.

[00:01:03] That is our guide.

[00:01:04] And we reject revolution unless it's Jesus' revolution,

[00:01:07] and then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:01:10] The checks and balances brilliantly put in place by the founding fathers,

[00:01:14] one of the peaceful restorative solutions we still have at our fingertips.

[00:01:17] It is about God, family, and country.

[00:01:19] It is about protecting life, liberty, and property.

[00:01:21] It always has been.

[00:01:22] Welcome to the broadcast.

[00:01:23] Hope you're all doing absolutely fantastic.

[00:01:26] It looks like 2025 is going to be a, pardon the pun, an explosive year, to say the least.

[00:01:34] First, I don't necessarily trust the mainstream press at all, as you know.

[00:01:40] I don't trust the general government at all, as far as, you know, I know.

[00:01:46] I just don't trust them.

[00:01:48] You know, Ronald Reagan said, trust but verify.

[00:01:50] I disagree.

[00:01:51] You've got to assume it's a scandal unless proven solid.

[00:01:55] You can't just, you know, trust anymore,

[00:01:58] because they've broken our trust way, way, way, way too many times.

[00:02:03] You had a bunch of events happen yesterday,

[00:02:06] which I want to get into in more detail,

[00:02:08] but the details are shocking.

[00:02:11] The situations are concerning.

[00:02:13] The reporting is lackluster at best.

[00:02:17] Oh, they're all over the reporting.

[00:02:20] Don't misunderstand me.

[00:02:20] It's lackluster in terms of trustable, provable, consistent facts.

[00:02:27] You say, Sam, you're not being fair.

[00:02:29] It's way too early.

[00:02:30] Oh, you think?

[00:02:31] Then why are we coming out with such bold claims and statements?

[00:02:35] Let me just rewind you to our first broadcast of the year.

[00:02:44] Yesterday, we were live on your radio,

[00:02:49] and we literally broke down all kinds of information,

[00:02:53] all kinds of details relating to this,

[00:02:56] I don't know what you call it,

[00:02:58] early on the beat reporting, all right?

[00:03:01] So this first event, this New Orleans crash,

[00:03:05] this run people down with vehicles,

[00:03:07] turn vehicles into a weapons story,

[00:03:09] happened at literally like 3-something in the morning.

[00:03:12] We wake up at 6, we break it all down,

[00:03:14] we get ready, we come and do the broadcast.

[00:03:16] Myself and James Edwards,

[00:03:18] two veteran radio news reporters and more.

[00:03:23] And the headline starts out from the mainstream press,

[00:03:27] hell-bent on carnage,

[00:03:29] at least 10 killed, 30 injured on Bourbon Street.

[00:03:35] Then we read, you know, Puerto Rico, massive power outage.

[00:03:39] Okay, and we talked about that literally for the first hour

[00:03:43] in detail.

[00:03:45] We broke down a lot of the stories of 2024 along the way.

[00:03:51] Second hour we had on our dear friend, John Hill,

[00:03:54] and he's involved in what's called the

[00:03:57] AP Hill Hurricane Helene Relief Fund,

[00:04:02] givestudgo.com slash G-D-E-P-E.

[00:04:07] If you want to learn more and if you want to donate,

[00:04:08] it's a worthy cause.

[00:04:11] And we talked about all that kind of stuff.

[00:04:13] We really didn't get into anything else

[00:04:16] except for the incredible service and work that John did.

[00:04:20] The problem with the whole discussion

[00:04:22] is that the mainstream press literally covered up

[00:04:25] how bad this story really was.

[00:04:28] And the government literally provided no help

[00:04:31] for the most part, minimal help,

[00:04:33] skipped over Trump supporters,

[00:04:35] and at the end of the day,

[00:04:37] tried to prevent people like John and others

[00:04:39] from actually helping.

[00:04:42] They claim, oh, you don't have the authority,

[00:04:44] you don't have the permission,

[00:04:45] you don't have the wherewithal,

[00:04:47] the knowledge, the experience to help.

[00:04:52] It's insane.

[00:04:54] So John literally does a,

[00:04:57] let me say this,

[00:04:58] does a phenomenal job

[00:05:01] and brings out the problems with the government.

[00:05:03] He didn't even see the government there hardly,

[00:05:06] but when he did,

[00:05:07] all he got was information about

[00:05:08] they're not doing much

[00:05:09] and they're sitting in the big cities,

[00:05:11] the liberal bastions

[00:05:12] and ignoring the people

[00:05:13] who need the help the most in the mountains,

[00:05:14] et cetera.

[00:05:16] Well, while that's going on,

[00:05:18] that's literally a three-month-old story

[00:05:19] continuing now,

[00:05:20] but we didn't get the scoop.

[00:05:22] Meanwhile, Trump doubles down

[00:05:24] on supporting Mike Johnson.

[00:05:26] Thomas Massey blasts the whole thing,

[00:05:30] says he's the quote,

[00:05:30] next Paul Ryan,

[00:05:32] says the Republicans,

[00:05:33] if they put Johnson in place,

[00:05:35] it'll be the undoing.

[00:05:36] They'll lose the house over it.

[00:05:39] I pray Thomas Massey's wrong,

[00:05:41] but predict he's probably correct.

[00:05:43] Anyway, I digress.

[00:05:45] The point is,

[00:05:45] we reported on all this.

[00:05:47] So when we reported on this story

[00:05:48] about New Orleans,

[00:05:49] I said, hey man,

[00:05:50] they're already declaring it a terrorist attack.

[00:05:52] There's no way they could know that

[00:05:53] investigatively by now.

[00:05:54] I don't care what you found

[00:05:57] because you need to,

[00:05:58] even if you find elements

[00:05:59] that relate to terrorism,

[00:06:01] that could be an attempt

[00:06:04] to lead investigators

[00:06:05] in the wrong direction.

[00:06:06] You know, I do three or four things.

[00:06:09] I have a, I don't know,

[00:06:10] commit to Islam or something

[00:06:12] and then a flag and this and that

[00:06:13] and I have four or five props

[00:06:15] that point that direction

[00:06:16] like it's terrorism,

[00:06:17] but it's not,

[00:06:18] you know, kind of thing.

[00:06:18] They can't know that that quick.

[00:06:20] We literally started reporting on this

[00:06:21] three, four hours

[00:06:22] after it literally happened.

[00:06:24] There's no way they could have

[00:06:24] that information already

[00:06:27] analyzed, assessed, reviewed.

[00:06:29] Much less reported to the press.

[00:06:32] See, that's the problem

[00:06:32] with the whole discussion

[00:06:33] and I brought this up

[00:06:34] as a big, big concern.

[00:06:38] Well, now we're getting

[00:06:39] more information

[00:06:40] and the information

[00:06:42] that we're getting

[00:06:42] is even more confusing

[00:06:43] than ever.

[00:06:45] Listen carefully.

[00:06:47] The FBI has identified

[00:06:48] the suspect

[00:06:50] who carried out the attack

[00:06:51] on New Orleans

[00:06:53] on New Year's Day

[00:06:54] that now left 15 dead,

[00:06:56] not 10

[00:06:58] and dozens more injured.

[00:07:00] Okay, that's not really

[00:07:01] a whole lot new

[00:07:02] except for more dead

[00:07:02] than we thought.

[00:07:04] The individual

[00:07:04] has been identified,

[00:07:06] they say,

[00:07:07] as 42-year-old,

[00:07:10] I don't even know

[00:07:11] how to say this name,

[00:07:12] Shamsung

[00:07:14] or Shamsud

[00:07:17] Din

[00:07:19] Jambar

[00:07:21] J-A-B-B-A-R

[00:07:26] Shamsung

[00:07:27] Din

[00:07:27] Jabar

[00:07:28] They say

[00:07:30] a U.S. citizen

[00:07:31] who lived

[00:07:33] in Texas

[00:07:35] Now,

[00:07:37] that's fine.

[00:07:38] They say

[00:07:41] Jabar

[00:07:41] was carrying

[00:07:44] ISIS flag

[00:07:45] in his truck

[00:07:45] and authorities

[00:07:47] said that he was

[00:07:48] dressed in military gear.

[00:07:49] There are also reportedly

[00:07:52] other suspects

[00:07:53] involved.

[00:07:54] During a news briefing

[00:07:56] on Wednesday

[00:07:57] afternoon

[00:07:58] Well,

[00:08:02] how do you say

[00:08:03] her name?

[00:08:05] Alethea

[00:08:05] Duncan

[00:08:06] an assistant

[00:08:08] special agent

[00:08:09] in charge

[00:08:10] of the

[00:08:11] quote

[00:08:11] FBI's

[00:08:12] New Orleans

[00:08:13] field office

[00:08:14] said investigators

[00:08:16] do not believe

[00:08:18] that Jambar

[00:08:19] was solely

[00:08:20] responsible

[00:08:21] for the attack

[00:08:22] as the investigation

[00:08:24] continues.

[00:08:25] Furthermore,

[00:08:26] in the earliest

[00:08:27] publicly known

[00:08:28] comments

[00:08:29] after the attack

[00:08:31] was reported

[00:08:32] the New Orleans

[00:08:34] mayor

[00:08:37] Latoya

[00:08:38] Cantrell

[00:08:39] told the media

[00:08:41] that the attack

[00:08:42] was a terrorist

[00:08:43] attack.

[00:08:44] However,

[00:08:45] listen carefully

[00:08:45] she was

[00:08:47] immediately

[00:08:49] contradicted

[00:08:50] by FBI

[00:08:52] special agent

[00:08:53] Alethea

[00:08:54] Duncan

[00:08:55] who

[00:08:56] confidently

[00:08:57] declared

[00:08:58] that this

[00:08:59] was quote

[00:08:59] not

[00:09:00] a terrorist

[00:09:01] event.

[00:09:04] That's a public

[00:09:06] posture

[00:09:06] that the FBI

[00:09:07] believe it or not

[00:09:08] maintained for a

[00:09:09] significant amount

[00:09:10] of time

[00:09:10] in spite

[00:09:11] of apparently

[00:09:12] being aware

[00:09:13] that the suspect

[00:09:14] had driven a truck

[00:09:15] packed with explosives

[00:09:18] while flying

[00:09:19] an ISIS flag.

[00:09:22] The blaze

[00:09:23] has the details

[00:09:24] about this FBI

[00:09:24] report.

[00:09:25] So here's the

[00:09:26] problem.

[00:09:26] The FBI

[00:09:27] saying not a

[00:09:27] terrorist attack.

[00:09:29] The mayor

[00:09:30] saying yes

[00:09:30] terrorist attack.

[00:09:31] Sam Bushman

[00:09:32] gets on the radio

[00:09:33] and says there's

[00:09:33] no way we can

[00:09:34] know if there's

[00:09:35] a terrorist

[00:09:35] attack or not

[00:09:36] yet.

[00:09:36] Even if there's

[00:09:37] items that point

[00:09:38] to terrorism

[00:09:38] you cannot draw

[00:09:40] those conclusions

[00:09:40] that quickly.

[00:09:41] There's no way

[00:09:42] you could track

[00:09:43] down and vet

[00:09:43] any of the details

[00:09:44] enough.

[00:09:45] But then lo and

[00:09:46] behold later

[00:09:47] the FBI

[00:09:47] comes back

[00:09:48] and says oh

[00:09:48] my golly

[00:09:49] the mayor

[00:09:49] was right

[00:09:50] terrorist attack.

[00:09:52] So the FBI

[00:09:53] now they say

[00:09:54] has since

[00:09:54] changed gears

[00:09:56] and acknowledged

[00:09:57] that it's

[00:09:57] investigating

[00:09:58] the incident

[00:09:59] as a terrorist

[00:10:00] attack.

[00:10:02] The problem

[00:10:03] that I have

[00:10:03] with that

[00:10:04] whole story

[00:10:04] is so now

[00:10:05] the FBI

[00:10:05] they claimed

[00:10:06] that there

[00:10:07] wasn't one.

[00:10:08] The mayor

[00:10:08] says there

[00:10:08] was one.

[00:10:10] I'm saying

[00:10:11] we can't

[00:10:11] know yet

[00:10:12] at this

[00:10:12] point.

[00:10:13] Now we

[00:10:14] can know

[00:10:15] this.

[00:10:15] You can't

[00:10:16] trust your

[00:10:16] government.

[00:10:17] That's what

[00:10:17] you can know.

[00:10:18] Write it down.

[00:10:18] Remember who

[00:10:19] told you

[00:10:19] you cannot

[00:10:20] trust your

[00:10:20] government.

[00:10:21] How would

[00:10:22] the FBI

[00:10:22] have less

[00:10:23] information on

[00:10:24] the topic

[00:10:24] than the

[00:10:24] mayor?

[00:10:25] Ladies and

[00:10:26] gentlemen.

[00:10:27] Let me ask

[00:10:27] you that

[00:10:28] question.

[00:10:28] Be honest

[00:10:29] in your

[00:10:29] answer.

[00:10:30] How can

[00:10:31] the FBI

[00:10:31] know less

[00:10:32] about it

[00:10:33] than the

[00:10:34] local mayor?

[00:10:37] Is it a

[00:10:38] case of just

[00:10:38] getting to

[00:10:39] the reporting

[00:10:39] too quickly?

[00:10:40] Or is it

[00:10:41] a case of

[00:10:41] somebody's lying?

[00:10:42] Who obtained

[00:10:43] what information

[00:10:44] from whom?

[00:10:46] I am Sam

[00:10:47] Bushman.

[00:10:47] Dig it in.

[00:10:48] This is

[00:11:11] Therefore,

[00:11:12] the government

[00:13:15] highlighting the

[00:13:16] history of the

[00:13:17] company.

[00:13:18] FreeWaterCoinCo.com,

[00:13:19] I dig it.

[00:13:20] You got a friend in

[00:13:21] the honest money

[00:13:21] business.

[00:13:22] Brian, welcome,

[00:13:22] sir.

[00:13:23] Hey, thanks,

[00:13:24] Sam.

[00:13:24] Glad to be with

[00:13:25] you.

[00:13:25] So, this event

[00:13:27] happens yesterday

[00:13:28] at like 3-something

[00:13:28] in the morning.

[00:13:29] This guy drives a

[00:13:30] truck into a crowd,

[00:13:31] kills, now they

[00:13:32] say 15 people,

[00:13:33] 30 people injured,

[00:13:34] horrible deal.

[00:13:35] The cops killed

[00:13:36] him, he's dead.

[00:13:37] They claim he's

[00:13:38] from ISIS.

[00:13:38] They claim he

[00:13:39] was Islam.

[00:13:40] They claim he

[00:13:41] was a military

[00:13:43] vet, an American

[00:13:44] citizen, good guy,

[00:13:46] very smart, super

[00:13:48] high income,

[00:13:49] 120 grand a

[00:13:49] year, doing really

[00:13:51] well, but he had

[00:13:53] problems.

[00:13:53] He had financial

[00:13:54] trouble.

[00:13:54] He's had a couple

[00:13:55] of wives.

[00:13:56] He just got more

[00:13:56] and more and

[00:13:57] more militant,

[00:13:58] they claim.

[00:13:59] So, it's

[00:14:00] interesting they

[00:14:00] know a ton about

[00:14:01] this, they claim.

[00:14:02] The problem is,

[00:14:03] in the early

[00:14:04] reporting on this,

[00:14:06] Brian, the mayor

[00:14:08] said it was a

[00:14:09] terrorist attack.

[00:14:10] The FBI

[00:14:11] contradicted that

[00:14:12] view for hours

[00:14:13] and said, no,

[00:14:14] it's not.

[00:14:15] I got on the air

[00:14:16] yesterday, three

[00:14:17] or four hours after

[00:14:18] the event occurred,

[00:14:19] and said, hey,

[00:14:20] man, we can't

[00:14:21] know this early

[00:14:23] if it's a

[00:14:23] terrorist attack

[00:14:24] or not.

[00:14:25] I don't care if

[00:14:25] the guy has an

[00:14:26] ISIS flag on his

[00:14:27] pickup or if

[00:14:28] he's, you know,

[00:14:28] he's been a

[00:14:29] Muslim guy for a

[00:14:30] long time or,

[00:14:31] you know, until

[00:14:31] we know who's

[00:14:32] involved or

[00:14:33] what's involved,

[00:14:34] you know, they

[00:14:34] could plant

[00:14:35] several terrorist

[00:14:36] things to lead

[00:14:37] you off the

[00:14:38] trail.

[00:14:40] There could be a

[00:14:41] lot of

[00:14:41] explanations for

[00:14:42] these things,

[00:14:43] but we cannot

[00:14:43] draw these

[00:14:44] conclusions too

[00:14:44] quickly.

[00:14:45] Lo and behold,

[00:14:46] later, yesterday,

[00:14:46] the FBI decided

[00:14:47] that, oh, it

[00:14:48] was a terrorist

[00:14:48] attack.

[00:14:50] Okay.

[00:14:51] Now, maybe it

[00:14:52] was, maybe it

[00:14:53] wasn't.

[00:14:53] I'm not, I'm not

[00:14:53] deliberating on that

[00:14:54] yet because I don't

[00:14:55] know, and I'm

[00:14:56] convinced that they

[00:14:57] still don't know.

[00:14:58] And what I find

[00:14:59] fascinating about

[00:15:00] that is why

[00:15:02] would the FBI

[00:15:02] double down and

[00:15:03] say no, and why

[00:15:03] were the mayor

[00:15:04] double down and

[00:15:04] say yes early

[00:15:05] on, and less to

[00:15:06] breed confusion?

[00:15:07] And why would

[00:15:08] the mayor be

[00:15:09] getting different

[00:15:09] information than

[00:15:10] the FBI?

[00:15:11] And which group

[00:15:12] would know more

[00:15:12] sooner, do you

[00:15:13] think?

[00:15:13] Isn't this just

[00:15:14] strange already,

[00:15:16] Brian?

[00:15:18] Well, it's all

[00:15:19] part of kind of

[00:15:20] what happens out

[00:15:21] there as we try

[00:15:21] to unravel the

[00:15:22] news.

[00:15:23] It seems like

[00:15:23] any story has

[00:15:25] multiple directions

[00:15:27] going this way

[00:15:30] and that way

[00:15:30] just to confuse

[00:15:31] us to not know.

[00:15:32] But, you know,

[00:15:33] it's hard to

[00:15:33] understand where

[00:15:34] the, you know,

[00:15:35] obviously the

[00:15:36] media that comes

[00:15:38] out with these

[00:15:39] news articles,

[00:15:41] they don't seem

[00:15:42] to, they haven't

[00:15:42] seen over the

[00:15:43] last few years

[00:15:44] of giving us

[00:15:45] any kind of

[00:15:47] common sense

[00:15:47] articles.

[00:15:48] It's more of a

[00:15:49] jumble here and

[00:15:49] a jumble there,

[00:15:50] and then we

[00:15:50] find out later

[00:15:51] it's this and

[00:15:52] that and the

[00:15:52] other.

[00:15:53] So it is twisted

[00:15:54] and so on.

[00:15:55] What I find

[00:15:56] interesting is

[00:15:57] they're not on

[00:15:58] the same page.

[00:15:59] You know,

[00:15:59] everything's a

[00:16:00] terrorist act

[00:16:00] really.

[00:16:01] I mean, if they

[00:16:01] came into my

[00:16:02] yard and said,

[00:16:03] well, it was a

[00:16:03] terrorist act,

[00:16:04] or you're in

[00:16:06] a school board

[00:16:06] meeting and,

[00:16:07] well, they're

[00:16:07] terrorists.

[00:16:08] I mean, they

[00:16:09] just throw that

[00:16:10] word around like

[00:16:10] it doesn't mean

[00:16:11] anything at all.

[00:16:12] So, yeah, I

[00:16:13] think it's jumbled

[00:16:13] and we're not

[00:16:15] going to come to

[00:16:15] the, to really

[00:16:17] know the truth.

[00:16:17] It seems like it

[00:16:18] always takes many

[00:16:19] months later to

[00:16:20] really find out.

[00:16:21] Or never.

[00:16:23] Or never, yeah.

[00:16:24] And that's the

[00:16:25] point that I'm

[00:16:25] driving at here.

[00:16:26] Here's what's

[00:16:27] interesting.

[00:16:27] The FBI says

[00:16:28] no, not a terrorist

[00:16:29] attack changes their

[00:16:30] mind in that they

[00:16:32] lose credibility

[00:16:32] already.

[00:16:33] The mayor said it

[00:16:34] was a terrorist

[00:16:34] attack.

[00:16:35] Where did the

[00:16:35] mayor get more

[00:16:36] solid information

[00:16:36] than the FBI?

[00:16:38] Sam Bushman

[00:16:38] sitting on the

[00:16:39] sidelines going,

[00:16:40] I don't know that

[00:16:41] we can definitively

[00:16:42] say it's a terrorist

[00:16:43] attack or not.

[00:16:43] We cannot assemble

[00:16:45] information that

[00:16:45] quickly and just,

[00:16:47] you know, disperse

[00:16:47] it to the public

[00:16:48] reliably that early

[00:16:50] on.

[00:16:50] You just can't do

[00:16:51] that.

[00:16:51] And then they say,

[00:16:52] Sam, you don't

[00:16:52] have any investigative

[00:16:53] skills.

[00:16:53] You don't know what

[00:16:54] you're talking

[00:16:54] about.

[00:16:55] And I say, you

[00:16:56] clowns.

[00:16:56] What are you

[00:16:57] talking about?

[00:16:57] The FBI was

[00:16:58] wrong and now they

[00:16:59] admit something

[00:16:59] different.

[00:17:00] The mayor was

[00:17:00] right.

[00:17:01] At least if that's

[00:17:02] the real story.

[00:17:02] But here's the

[00:17:03] problem as we go

[00:17:03] on.

[00:17:05] So this

[00:17:06] individual is

[00:17:07] identified as

[00:17:07] this guy.

[00:17:08] Now, I don't

[00:17:09] even know how

[00:17:09] to say his

[00:17:09] name.

[00:17:11] S-H-A-M-S-U-D-D-I-N.

[00:17:19] Shad Sun Din is

[00:17:21] the guy's name.

[00:17:22] And his last

[00:17:23] name is Jabar.

[00:17:25] J-A-B-B-A-R.

[00:17:27] Now, is that his

[00:17:28] real name or is

[00:17:29] that his Muslim

[00:17:30] name?

[00:17:32] If it's his

[00:17:32] Muslim name, why

[00:17:33] are we not dealing

[00:17:34] with his real

[00:17:34] name?

[00:17:35] If he's an

[00:17:36] American citizen,

[00:17:36] he's 42, he's

[00:17:37] been here his

[00:17:38] whole life, he

[00:17:38] grew up in

[00:17:39] Texas, he's

[00:17:39] a good old

[00:17:41] boy, redneck

[00:17:41] military guy,

[00:17:42] you know,

[00:17:42] whatever.

[00:17:43] His name's

[00:17:44] really?

[00:17:45] Shamsud Din

[00:17:46] or whatever,

[00:17:46] Jabar?

[00:17:48] And they talk

[00:17:50] about this Ali

[00:17:50] Akbar and all

[00:17:51] these other

[00:17:51] terms and all

[00:17:52] these other

[00:17:52] names.

[00:17:53] Is that his

[00:17:53] Muslim name

[00:17:54] or do you

[00:17:54] think that's

[00:17:55] just his

[00:17:55] American name

[00:17:56] and it's

[00:17:56] just coincidentally

[00:17:58] Jabar went

[00:17:59] crazy and became

[00:17:59] a Muslim and

[00:18:01] killed everybody.

[00:18:02] Terrorist

[00:18:02] attack for

[00:18:02] sure.

[00:18:03] It's got it

[00:18:04] written all over

[00:18:04] it.

[00:18:04] Look at the

[00:18:05] guy.

[00:18:05] For crying

[00:18:05] out loud,

[00:18:06] dressed in

[00:18:06] military gear,

[00:18:08] ISIS flag

[00:18:09] going on.

[00:18:09] I mean, you

[00:18:10] know, it

[00:18:10] was plain as

[00:18:11] day terrorism.

[00:18:12] Well, then what

[00:18:12] deceived the

[00:18:13] FBI for 10

[00:18:13] hours, people?

[00:18:14] They were that

[00:18:15] stupid?

[00:18:16] They were that

[00:18:16] ignorant and

[00:18:17] clueless of this

[00:18:18] thing?

[00:18:18] Are you buying

[00:18:19] it, Brian?

[00:18:19] Because I'm

[00:18:20] not.

[00:18:22] Right.

[00:18:22] Well, there's the

[00:18:23] confusion that we

[00:18:24] don't really

[00:18:26] understand.

[00:18:26] I'm interested in

[00:18:27] the army veteran.

[00:18:30] Is he an

[00:18:30] U.S.

[00:18:31] Army veteran?

[00:18:32] Yeah, they

[00:18:33] say so.

[00:18:34] So they're

[00:18:34] saying he is

[00:18:35] and yet he has

[00:18:37] the ISIS flag

[00:18:38] and that.

[00:18:38] So is he a

[00:18:39] disgruntled

[00:18:40] army veteran?

[00:18:42] What's the

[00:18:42] backstory to

[00:18:43] that?

[00:18:43] Well, the

[00:18:44] backstory they

[00:18:44] claim is he's

[00:18:45] just a he's been

[00:18:46] a Muslim for a

[00:18:46] long time and

[00:18:47] he's just gotten

[00:18:47] more and more

[00:18:48] and more radicalized

[00:18:50] there.

[00:18:50] And, you know,

[00:18:51] he was the

[00:18:51] nicest guy,

[00:18:51] says the

[00:18:52] neighbor,

[00:18:52] says the

[00:18:53] friends,

[00:18:53] says the,

[00:18:54] you know,

[00:18:54] girls that

[00:18:55] dated him in

[00:18:55] the beginning

[00:18:55] and whatever

[00:18:56] said he was a

[00:18:56] nice guy and

[00:18:57] offered carry the

[00:18:58] groceries.

[00:18:58] And other guys

[00:18:59] are like,

[00:18:59] there's no way

[00:19:08] too bad they

[00:19:09] didn't understand

[00:19:10] as much as the

[00:19:10] mayor at the

[00:19:11] beginning.

[00:19:11] And I don't

[00:19:12] know why they'd

[00:19:12] kick against the

[00:19:13] pricks and fight

[00:19:13] that for hours,

[00:19:14] but hey,

[00:19:15] there you go.

[00:19:15] And Sam's still

[00:19:16] saying we don't

[00:19:17] know the details

[00:19:18] yet.

[00:19:19] Brian, we got a

[00:19:20] lot of details

[00:19:20] that are irrelevant

[00:19:21] here.

[00:19:21] The fact that he's

[00:19:22] 42 years old,

[00:19:23] OK, fine.

[00:19:24] Fact there's a

[00:19:24] military guy.

[00:19:25] OK, fine.

[00:19:26] Fact that he was

[00:19:26] a U.S.

[00:19:27] citizen.

[00:19:27] OK, fine.

[00:19:30] But they now

[00:19:32] say that they

[00:19:33] don't even believe

[00:19:33] he was solely

[00:19:34] responsible for

[00:19:35] the attack.

[00:19:37] Yeah, I have

[00:19:38] heard that there

[00:19:38] are others involved

[00:19:39] or something that

[00:19:40] they were bringing

[00:19:41] we think there's

[00:19:42] other people

[00:19:42] involved.

[00:19:43] OK, well, how

[00:19:44] come they don't

[00:19:44] give us those

[00:19:44] names as quick

[00:19:45] as they gave

[00:19:45] us this guy's

[00:19:46] name?

[00:19:47] Right.

[00:19:48] Right.

[00:19:50] So this is what

[00:19:51] I mean by it's

[00:19:52] weird.

[00:19:52] All right.

[00:19:53] Literally not

[00:19:53] at the same

[00:19:54] exact time of

[00:19:55] day, but same

[00:19:56] day, same.

[00:19:58] You know, you

[00:20:00] find this.

[00:20:00] Listen to this

[00:20:01] video.

[00:20:01] Here's what the

[00:20:02] FBI was saying

[00:20:03] about this from

[00:20:04] the start.

[00:20:05] Here it is.

[00:20:05] Listen to this.

[00:20:06] Patrick said

[00:20:07] we'll be taking

[00:20:08] over the

[00:20:09] investigative lead

[00:20:10] for this

[00:20:11] event.

[00:20:12] This is not a

[00:20:13] terrorist event.

[00:20:14] What it is right

[00:20:15] now is their

[00:20:16] improvised explosive

[00:20:17] devices that was

[00:20:19] found and we are

[00:20:20] working on confirming

[00:20:21] if it's a viable

[00:20:23] device or not.

[00:20:24] As Chief Kirkpatrick

[00:20:25] said, we're asking

[00:20:26] everyone to stay

[00:20:27] away from Bourbon

[00:20:29] Street, specifically

[00:20:30] from Canal Street to

[00:20:31] Saint Anne.

[00:20:32] That is my ask.

[00:20:34] Once again, stay

[00:20:35] away from Bourbon

[00:20:36] Street, Canal Street,

[00:20:37] all the way to

[00:20:38] Saint Anne until we can

[00:20:40] figure out what is

[00:20:41] going on.

[00:20:42] Our goal is to

[00:20:43] provide you additional

[00:20:43] information at the

[00:20:44] 11 a.m.

[00:20:46] press conference.

[00:20:49] That's the lady

[00:20:50] from the FBI telling

[00:20:51] you it's not an

[00:20:51] FBI attack.

[00:20:53] The other thing that

[00:20:53] I find interesting is

[00:20:54] telling people to stay

[00:20:55] away from that

[00:20:55] intersection.

[00:20:56] How often do you

[00:20:58] hear nationally to

[00:20:59] stay away from a

[00:20:59] given intersection?

[00:21:02] That's strange.

[00:21:03] Normally there's

[00:21:03] cordoned off tape and

[00:21:05] cops and all kinds of

[00:21:06] people.

[00:21:06] You can't get there

[00:21:07] anyway.

[00:21:08] But when you shout

[00:21:09] out something like

[00:21:09] that, it almost

[00:21:10] seems like they're

[00:21:11] inviting people there,

[00:21:12] Brian.

[00:21:13] Yeah.

[00:21:13] Yeah.

[00:21:13] Let's bring it up.

[00:21:14] And, well, we really

[00:21:15] don't want you here,

[00:21:16] but here's the street.

[00:21:17] Here's the address.

[00:21:17] Here's where we're at.

[00:21:19] Don't come on down,

[00:21:20] people.

[00:21:24] We've got some free

[00:21:26] giveaways.

[00:21:27] We've got a crime

[00:21:28] scene going on.

[00:21:29] Don't you dare come

[00:21:29] down now.

[00:21:30] That's my ask.

[00:21:31] I'm just asking you.

[00:21:32] Stay away.

[00:21:33] Here's the address.

[00:21:34] Let me put the

[00:21:35] coordinates up with a

[00:21:35] pin.

[00:21:37] Let me, by mistake,

[00:21:38] text the whole nation

[00:21:39] a pin of where to go.

[00:21:40] It's just weird.

[00:21:42] Yeah.

[00:21:43] It seems like there's a

[00:21:44] lot of confusion going

[00:21:45] on.

[00:21:46] Plus, you've got these

[00:21:47] people now.

[00:21:47] You've got some college

[00:21:50] football and then you've

[00:21:51] got a bowl game for

[00:21:55] the NFL.

[00:21:55] Yeah.

[00:21:56] What's that?

[00:21:56] The Sugar Bowl?

[00:21:58] Yeah.

[00:21:58] The Sugar Bowl.

[00:21:59] I think it is coming

[00:22:00] right up.

[00:22:01] And then you've got in a

[00:22:02] month here, you've got

[00:22:02] the Super Bowl.

[00:22:03] And they're kind of

[00:22:04] saying, well, everything

[00:22:04] should be fine then.

[00:22:06] But it's here, this, I

[00:22:07] think, what, in the next

[00:22:09] day or two is the Sugar

[00:22:10] Bowl.

[00:22:12] And I think it was

[00:22:13] supposed to be the same

[00:22:14] day in the beginning.

[00:22:15] And then I think they had

[00:22:15] to put it off.

[00:22:16] I don't know.

[00:22:17] Maybe that's what it

[00:22:17] was.

[00:22:18] Yeah.

[00:22:18] I mean, the thing is,

[00:22:19] is what, so people, I

[00:22:20] think, are confused.

[00:22:21] The fact of, because

[00:22:22] now you've got these big

[00:22:24] crowds now coming back,

[00:22:25] back there for that.

[00:22:26] So I don't know.

[00:22:28] Yeah.

[00:22:29] It's very.

[00:22:29] But when you're coming

[00:22:30] for the game, don't go

[00:22:31] to this intersection.

[00:22:32] Okay.

[00:22:32] Just please stay away

[00:22:33] from there.

[00:22:34] Like you would go there

[00:22:35] anyway, right?

[00:22:36] I mean, how many people

[00:22:36] would go there anyway?

[00:22:38] That's right.

[00:22:39] I mean, if I hear there's

[00:22:40] literally a murder and 15

[00:22:41] people are dead and 30

[00:22:43] people are injured and it's

[00:22:44] this crazy terrorist thing,

[00:22:46] I'm not going there.

[00:22:49] Who in their right mind

[00:22:50] would even try to go

[00:22:51] there?

[00:22:53] Good point.

[00:22:54] So it's a weird,

[00:22:55] interesting, crazy ask that

[00:22:57] I've never seen nationally.

[00:22:58] But the plot thickens,

[00:22:59] Brian.

[00:23:01] So on the same very day,

[00:23:04] one dead, seven injured

[00:23:07] after a cyber truck filled

[00:23:10] with, quote, fireworks explodes

[00:23:13] outside Trump's hotel in Las

[00:23:16] Vegas.

[00:23:17] This was yesterday as well.

[00:23:19] The front glass doors of the

[00:23:21] hotel were not even broken,

[00:23:24] Sheriff McMayhill said.

[00:23:26] And they say because of the

[00:23:27] strong walls of the cyber truck,

[00:23:30] authorities know the identity

[00:23:32] of the person who rented the

[00:23:34] cyber truck.

[00:23:35] But declined to release

[00:23:37] details.

[00:23:40] Musk now, that's Elon Musk on

[00:23:42] X specifically speculated.

[00:23:46] This is interesting.

[00:23:48] It's not speculation when the

[00:23:50] FBI says no terrorist attack.

[00:23:51] OK, that's factual news, baby.

[00:23:54] Oh, I know they changed their

[00:23:55] mind to several hours later.

[00:23:56] But hey,

[00:23:58] now Elon Musk is speculating

[00:24:00] that the Las Vegas

[00:24:01] act was linked

[00:24:03] to

[00:24:05] the New Orleans attack.

[00:24:08] Now, federal officials have not

[00:24:09] connected, write that down,

[00:24:11] not connected to the incidents.

[00:24:12] But it turns out

[00:24:13] both trucks were rented

[00:24:14] using the Turo

[00:24:17] rental service.

[00:24:19] Let's come back to this

[00:24:20] because I find that fascinating.

[00:24:22] No evidence of linkage,

[00:24:23] but they both use Turo.

[00:24:25] Same day, you know,

[00:24:28] nothing related there,

[00:24:29] I'm telling you right now.

[00:24:30] That's a speculation from Elon.

[00:24:31] But when the FBI says no

[00:24:33] terrorist attack,

[00:24:34] that's not speculation,

[00:24:35] that's news.

[00:24:37] We shall be back with the news

[00:24:39] on your radio.

[00:24:50] Corruption.

[00:24:52] Informing citizens.

[00:24:54] Pursuing liberty.

[00:24:55] You're listening to

[00:24:57] Liberty News Radio.

[00:24:59] News this hour

[00:25:00] from townhall.com.

[00:25:02] I'm Rich Thomason.

[00:25:04] The feds investigating

[00:25:05] the deadly terrorist attack

[00:25:07] pickup truck used as a weapon.

[00:25:09] 15 people killed

[00:25:10] on New Year's Day,

[00:25:11] resulting in...

[00:25:12] A horrific morning

[00:25:13] after New Year's Eve celebrations

[00:25:15] in New Orleans'

[00:25:16] French Quarter.

[00:25:18] And the FBI's

[00:25:19] Althea Duncan says...

[00:25:21] After hitting the crowd,

[00:25:22] he exited the vehicle

[00:25:23] and fired upon

[00:25:24] local law enforcement.

[00:25:25] He was killed,

[00:25:26] but they don't think

[00:25:27] 42-year-old

[00:25:28] Shamsu Din Jabbar of Texas,

[00:25:30] an Army veteran,

[00:25:32] acted alone.

[00:25:33] We're aggressively

[00:25:33] running down every lead,

[00:25:35] including those

[00:25:36] of his known associates.

[00:25:37] I'm Jackie Quinn.

[00:25:38] The New Orleans attack

[00:25:40] came on the same day

[00:25:41] that Georgia and Notre Dame

[00:25:42] were set to play

[00:25:43] in the Sugar Bowl.

[00:25:44] The matchup was postponed

[00:25:45] until later today

[00:25:46] at 4 Eastern time

[00:25:47] because of the deadly attack,

[00:25:49] which took place

[00:25:49] about a mile away

[00:25:51] from the Superdome.

[00:25:52] Sugar Bowl CEO

[00:25:53] Jeff Hundley said

[00:25:54] that public safety

[00:25:55] was paramount

[00:25:55] and that all parties

[00:25:56] agreed that the postponement

[00:25:58] was in the interest

[00:25:58] of all concerned.

[00:26:00] Congressman Troy Carter

[00:26:01] added that the decision

[00:26:02] to postpone the game

[00:26:03] was, quote,

[00:26:04] not done lightly,

[00:26:06] unquote.

[00:26:06] Correspondent George Williams.

[00:26:08] Powerful fireworks

[00:26:09] planted in the bed

[00:26:10] of a cyber truck

[00:26:11] outside the Trump Hotel

[00:26:12] in Las Vegas

[00:26:13] and triggered an explosion

[00:26:14] that killed the vehicle's

[00:26:15] occupant and injured

[00:26:16] seven bystanders.

[00:26:18] That incident being

[00:26:19] investigated for possible

[00:26:20] ties to the attack

[00:26:21] in New Orleans.

[00:26:22] In both cases,

[00:26:23] rented vehicles were used

[00:26:24] and the trucks were

[00:26:25] rented from the same

[00:26:26] location.

[00:26:27] Three people are dead,

[00:26:29] 20 others injured.

[00:26:30] A New Year's fireworks

[00:26:31] explosion in a

[00:26:32] Honolulu area neighborhood

[00:26:34] had happened around

[00:26:34] midnight.

[00:26:35] A lit bundle of

[00:26:36] mortar-style fireworks

[00:26:38] tipped over,

[00:26:39] crashing into crates

[00:26:40] that were holding

[00:26:40] other fireworks

[00:26:41] that then blew up.

[00:26:43] Wall Street set to rally

[00:26:45] at the opening bell

[00:26:45] this first day of business

[00:26:47] for 2025.

[00:26:48] Dow futures are up

[00:26:49] 280 points,

[00:26:50] NASDAQ futures ahead

[00:26:51] 195,

[00:26:52] and the S&P futures

[00:26:53] up 43 points.

[00:26:55] More on these stories

[00:26:56] at townhall.com.

[00:26:58] You know,

[00:26:59] a lot of times

[00:27:00] you have to choose

[00:27:00] between something

[00:27:01] high quality

[00:27:02] or something

[00:27:03] that saves you money.

[00:27:04] But if you could get both,

[00:27:05] why not?

[00:27:06] Especially when it comes

[00:27:07] to health care,

[00:27:08] and that is MediShare,

[00:27:10] you get both.

[00:27:11] Many families save

[00:27:12] 500 bucks a month

[00:27:13] with MediShare,

[00:27:14] and that's huge.

[00:27:15] But it's also true

[00:27:16] that people wind up

[00:27:17] way more satisfied, too.

[00:27:18] The member satisfaction

[00:27:19] rate for MediShare

[00:27:20] is double

[00:27:21] that of the typical

[00:27:22] health insurance plan.

[00:27:24] Double.

[00:27:25] That's because

[00:27:25] MediShare works.

[00:27:27] It has for more

[00:27:28] than 30 years.

[00:27:29] It's a community

[00:27:30] of Christians

[00:27:30] who have shared

[00:27:31] more than $5 billion

[00:27:32] of each other's bills.

[00:27:34] People love

[00:27:34] having telehealth.

[00:27:35] They love the huge

[00:27:36] PPO network.

[00:27:37] So, yeah, really,

[00:27:38] you can save a ton

[00:27:39] and like it better.

[00:27:40] Imagine being happy

[00:27:41] with how you're taking

[00:27:42] care of your health care.

[00:27:43] So if you're self-employed

[00:27:44] or part of the gig economy

[00:28:29] Former Sheriff Richard Mack

[00:28:31] recounts in his book

[00:28:32] The Proper Role of Law Enforcement,

[00:28:34] how he came to realize

[00:28:35] while working as a beat cop

[00:28:37] how wrong the all-too-common

[00:28:38] orientation of police officers is

[00:28:40] when they think of their job

[00:28:41] as being to write tickets

[00:28:43] and arrest people.

[00:28:44] Richard Mack tells

[00:28:45] of his personal transformation

[00:30:30] over the past 50 years,

[00:30:31] three members

[00:30:33] of the Rust family,

[00:30:34] three generations,

[00:30:35] have been educating folks

[00:30:37] about precious metals.

[00:30:38] Free Water Coin Co.

[00:30:39] .com.

[00:30:40] That's Free Water

[00:30:40] Coin Co. .com.

[00:30:41] You have a friend

[00:30:42] in the honest money business.

[00:30:44] We'll get to your

[00:30:45] gold and silver report

[00:30:46] in just a second,

[00:30:47] but we're talking

[00:30:48] about this situation.

[00:30:49] So you got this

[00:30:49] Norleans attack.

[00:30:50] They claim that it was

[00:30:51] a terrorist attack

[00:30:52] on one hand.

[00:30:52] On the other hand,

[00:30:53] they said that it wasn't.

[00:30:54] Now they're all agreeing

[00:30:55] that it was.

[00:30:56] Others involved.

[00:30:57] They released the name

[00:30:58] of the guy

[00:30:58] and everything else

[00:31:00] immediately.

[00:31:01] All right?

[00:31:02] So the FBI changed gears,

[00:31:03] but if the FBI

[00:31:04] is going to identify

[00:31:04] who the perpetrator was,

[00:31:08] might they change gears

[00:31:09] on that too, Brian?

[00:31:10] Might they come back

[00:31:11] and say,

[00:31:11] no, it was somebody else.

[00:31:12] Sorry about that.

[00:31:14] When they said

[00:31:14] it wasn't a terrorist attack,

[00:31:15] right?

[00:31:16] And even when the mayor

[00:31:17] said that it was,

[00:31:17] they contradicted

[00:31:18] the mayor

[00:31:18] for quite some time.

[00:31:21] I find that fascinating.

[00:31:23] You do.

[00:31:24] You've got to mix up

[00:31:25] and it seems like

[00:31:26] there's a lot of that

[00:31:27] going on.

[00:31:28] One of the factors

[00:31:28] I think that could come

[00:31:29] into play,

[00:31:31] you know,

[00:31:32] when you,

[00:31:32] you know,

[00:31:33] we don't talk much

[00:31:33] about the insurance

[00:31:34] companies and so on,

[00:31:35] but I believe

[00:31:35] the insurance companies,

[00:31:37] so they like it.

[00:31:37] I like them.

[00:31:38] They like them

[00:31:39] to say terrorist attack

[00:31:40] because that puts

[00:31:41] less ability

[00:31:44] for them to say,

[00:31:45] well,

[00:31:45] if it's a terrorist attack

[00:31:46] and if you didn't pay

[00:31:47] for the terrorist

[00:31:48] side of your insurance,

[00:31:50] sorry,

[00:31:51] we can't really help you

[00:31:52] and I think that kind

[00:31:53] of these big,

[00:31:53] these big insurance companies,

[00:31:55] I think like them

[00:31:56] to use that

[00:31:57] because you have to

[00:31:58] identify on your policy

[00:32:00] now,

[00:32:01] I believe

[00:32:01] and when I was

[00:32:03] re-upping my policy

[00:32:04] over the last

[00:32:04] number of years,

[00:32:05] there's an act.

[00:32:07] you want to add

[00:32:07] terrorism rider

[00:32:08] and act of,

[00:32:09] you know,

[00:32:10] whatever.

[00:32:11] Yeah,

[00:32:11] that's right.

[00:32:12] Excellent call.

[00:32:13] That's something

[00:32:13] really important.

[00:32:15] They might not have to pay

[00:32:16] and these insurance

[00:32:17] companies don't want to pay.

[00:32:18] They like you to pay

[00:32:19] but they don't want to pay

[00:32:20] so maybe they're in,

[00:32:22] you know,

[00:32:22] they'd rather send

[00:32:23] their money

[00:32:23] to these big,

[00:32:26] these big elitists

[00:32:28] who get rich quick

[00:32:29] type thing

[00:32:30] instead of pay

[00:32:31] the average American

[00:32:32] who just,

[00:32:33] they're next to that truck

[00:32:35] may have been

[00:32:35] three other vehicles

[00:32:36] that got blown up.

[00:32:37] Well,

[00:32:37] it was a terrorist attack.

[00:32:38] Did you have that?

[00:32:38] You're probably,

[00:32:39] well,

[00:32:39] we're sorry,

[00:32:39] we can't help you

[00:32:40] with your coverage

[00:32:41] so I don't know.

[00:32:42] Maybe that's something

[00:32:43] that goes on.

[00:32:43] Well,

[00:32:43] and it also ties back

[00:32:45] to that shooting

[00:32:46] that was just several,

[00:32:46] a couple of weeks ago

[00:32:47] regarding this huge insurance exec

[00:32:50] with this,

[00:32:50] you know,

[00:32:50] deny and whatever

[00:32:52] and,

[00:32:52] you know,

[00:32:53] I mean,

[00:32:53] that relates.

[00:32:55] Correct.

[00:32:55] You wonder if these stories

[00:32:57] are really,

[00:32:57] really,

[00:32:58] really separate.

[00:32:58] Now you hear about

[00:32:59] the Vegas one,

[00:33:00] one dead,

[00:33:01] seven injured.

[00:33:02] Now the front glass

[00:33:03] of the doors

[00:33:03] of the hotel

[00:33:04] weren't even broken,

[00:33:05] Sheriff McMayhill said,

[00:33:06] but what I find fascinating

[00:33:08] is they know

[00:33:09] who rented that truck

[00:33:10] but they're not saying.

[00:33:13] Musk speculated

[00:33:14] that the two instances

[00:33:15] were probably related

[00:33:16] because they both

[00:33:17] used Turo,

[00:33:19] the car rental,

[00:33:20] private car rental company

[00:33:22] and I find that fascinating

[00:33:24] because,

[00:33:24] but yet they say

[00:33:25] there's not really a link

[00:33:26] between these two now

[00:33:27] and they've come out

[00:33:28] and said,

[00:33:28] hey,

[00:33:28] this one that's in Vegas

[00:33:30] is not a terrorist attack.

[00:33:31] So let me get this right.

[00:33:33] You got a non-terrorist attack

[00:33:34] and a first non-claimed

[00:33:36] by the FBI terrorist attack

[00:33:37] but changed the terrorist attack

[00:33:38] scenario,

[00:33:39] both renting from Turo

[00:33:40] but there's no link,

[00:33:42] Ryan.

[00:33:43] Yeah.

[00:33:44] Well,

[00:33:44] I think there probably is.

[00:33:45] We probably just don't,

[00:33:46] we're not getting the information

[00:33:48] that we would like to see

[00:33:50] I guess is the key.

[00:33:51] All right.

[00:33:52] Here's the other interesting thing.

[00:33:53] The FBI is investigating

[00:33:54] and involved in all of these cases

[00:33:56] from the one about

[00:33:57] the assassinations on Trump

[00:33:59] to the one about

[00:34:00] the insurance company

[00:34:01] executive dead

[00:34:02] to the one in New Orleans

[00:34:03] and now to the Vegas one

[00:34:05] and here's the next story

[00:34:06] that I find so fascinating.

[00:34:07] It was released yesterday,

[00:34:08] Brian,

[00:34:09] but this story is literally

[00:34:11] like a couple of years old

[00:34:13] but it's interesting.

[00:34:14] Listen to the details.

[00:34:16] FBI seizes record cash

[00:34:19] of explosives

[00:34:21] released in the New York Times.

[00:34:24] Now,

[00:34:24] why would you release a story

[00:34:25] like that on New Year's Day?

[00:34:27] I don't know what they did.

[00:34:28] Investigators discovered

[00:34:30] more than 150 devices,

[00:34:33] mostly pipe bombs

[00:34:34] on a property

[00:34:36] outside North Virginia,

[00:34:39] court papers say.

[00:34:41] So this one's already in court

[00:34:42] and everything else

[00:34:43] but we got the details yesterday.

[00:34:44] I don't know why

[00:34:46] but we did.

[00:34:48] They say the guy's name

[00:34:49] is Brad Stafford.

[00:34:51] He was taken into custody

[00:34:54] at a farm

[00:34:55] outside of

[00:34:59] Norfolk

[00:35:02] on December 17th.

[00:35:06] Now,

[00:35:06] we don't find out about it

[00:35:08] on November 17th.

[00:35:09] We find out about it

[00:35:10] January 1.

[00:35:13] They say that it's the basis

[00:35:14] of a quote,

[00:35:15] single count criminal complaint

[00:35:17] accusing him

[00:35:18] of eagerly possessing

[00:35:20] an unregistered

[00:35:21] short barrel rifle.

[00:35:23] That's what they arrested him for.

[00:35:25] But when they arrested him,

[00:35:26] which I find very interesting

[00:35:28] how they know

[00:35:28] he had a rifle too short

[00:35:29] in the first place,

[00:35:30] very weird.

[00:35:31] But then when they

[00:35:33] arrested him,

[00:35:34] investigators decided

[00:35:35] to search

[00:35:36] his 20-acre property.

[00:35:39] I guess it's in White County.

[00:35:41] They found

[00:35:42] a detached garage

[00:35:44] with more than

[00:35:45] 150 explosive devices

[00:35:46] in it,

[00:35:47] mostly pipe bombs.

[00:35:48] Some of them

[00:35:49] labeled

[00:35:50] quote,

[00:35:50] lethal.

[00:35:51] Got to make sure

[00:35:52] we add that,

[00:35:52] you know,

[00:35:52] pipe bombs are usually

[00:35:53] not lethal.

[00:35:54] You got to know

[00:35:54] about the ones

[00:35:55] that are labeled lethal,

[00:35:56] okay?

[00:35:57] Prosecutors said

[00:35:58] they found more pipe bombs

[00:36:00] in a bedroom

[00:36:01] inside his home

[00:36:03] loosely stuffed

[00:36:04] into a backpack

[00:36:05] that I guess

[00:36:06] had a,

[00:36:06] you know,

[00:36:07] a emblem on it

[00:36:08] shaped like a grenade

[00:36:11] and a logo

[00:36:12] reading

[00:36:12] No Lives Matter.

[00:36:13] Now they go on

[00:36:14] and they talk about

[00:36:15] No Lives Matter

[00:36:15] is this evil group

[00:36:16] that,

[00:36:17] you know,

[00:36:17] whatever

[00:36:17] and so on

[00:36:17] and so on.

[00:36:19] I just find this

[00:36:20] fascinating.

[00:36:20] You're telling me,

[00:36:22] Brian,

[00:36:23] that you've got

[00:36:24] three stories

[00:36:25] released on New Year's

[00:36:26] Day.

[00:36:26] One is about a guy

[00:36:27] that's in court now

[00:36:29] because he had a gun

[00:36:29] that was too short.

[00:36:31] Sounds like Randy Weaver,

[00:36:32] doesn't it?

[00:36:33] Anyway,

[00:36:34] this short gun,

[00:36:35] then they investigate

[00:36:36] tons of explosives.

[00:36:37] This guy was going to go

[00:36:38] crazy.

[00:36:39] He's got a name

[00:36:40] as simple as Brad.

[00:36:41] The guy's name

[00:36:42] is Brad,

[00:36:42] okay?

[00:36:43] While that's going on,

[00:36:44] you got this Vegas thing

[00:36:45] with no ties to anything.

[00:36:46] You got this New Orleans

[00:36:47] thing with this,

[00:36:48] what's the guy's name?

[00:36:49] Shabar?

[00:36:51] That's an American guy

[00:36:52] just,

[00:36:52] you know,

[00:36:53] I mean,

[00:36:53] he's just apple pie

[00:36:55] and baseball.

[00:36:56] Shabar is his name,

[00:36:57] but he's an American citizen.

[00:37:00] How can this all be released

[00:37:01] in the same day

[00:37:01] and not have any relationship

[00:37:03] to each other?

[00:37:04] Have you ever seen anything

[00:37:05] like that in your life,

[00:37:06] Brian?

[00:37:07] Well,

[00:37:08] it almost,

[00:37:09] you know,

[00:37:09] it seems like

[00:37:10] that they're trying

[00:37:12] to just push fear.

[00:37:14] Maybe,

[00:37:14] push fear out there

[00:37:16] of these major stories

[00:37:19] that we need to

[00:37:21] just be,

[00:37:22] you know,

[00:37:23] lock ourselves down,

[00:37:24] let's wait

[00:37:25] and listen for us

[00:37:26] to tell you what to do.

[00:37:28] You know,

[00:37:28] get in this line,

[00:37:29] get in that line.

[00:37:29] I don't know,

[00:37:30] but it seemed like

[00:37:31] it's all twisted

[00:37:32] into,

[00:37:34] here's the new stories

[00:37:35] coming forward

[00:37:36] in 2025.

[00:37:38] Fear.

[00:37:39] Yeah,

[00:37:40] I think you're right

[00:37:41] on this.

[00:37:41] I'm trying to do it.

[00:37:42] Fear and confusion

[00:37:44] because now I can't

[00:37:44] trust anything.

[00:37:45] So the FBI,

[00:37:46] who has been proven

[00:37:48] guilty over and over

[00:37:49] of agent provocateur activity,

[00:37:51] there's movies made

[00:37:51] about it,

[00:37:52] there's examples about it,

[00:37:53] those gentlemen

[00:37:54] that wanted to arrest

[00:37:55] the governor,

[00:37:56] basically,

[00:37:57] you know,

[00:37:57] at first they were,

[00:37:58] you know,

[00:37:59] hey,

[00:37:59] they're terrorists,

[00:38:00] they're trying to

[00:38:00] kidnap the governor.

[00:38:01] No,

[00:38:02] they just wanted to

[00:38:02] commit a citizen's arrest.

[00:38:03] Then we find out

[00:38:04] the FBI was involved

[00:38:05] in it,

[00:38:06] pushing it,

[00:38:06] making it all happen.

[00:38:07] That's documented

[00:38:08] until the cows come home,

[00:38:09] people.

[00:38:10] And you've got

[00:38:10] example after example,

[00:38:11] look at Randy Weaver,

[00:38:12] cut off a gun a little bit

[00:38:13] too short for somebody,

[00:38:14] made a mistake,

[00:38:15] and wow,

[00:38:16] they murdered his family

[00:38:17] and everything else

[00:38:17] as a result,

[00:38:18] eventually the government

[00:38:18] had to pay out

[00:38:19] on the Randy Weaver case.

[00:38:20] Most people don't know

[00:38:21] that either.

[00:38:21] But I look at this thing

[00:38:22] and I go,

[00:38:23] on January 1st,

[00:38:24] well,

[00:38:24] we're all supposed

[00:38:25] to be enjoying

[00:38:26] the New Year's Day.

[00:38:28] You literally have

[00:38:29] this terrorist attack

[00:38:29] in New Orleans,

[00:38:31] whether it was or not,

[00:38:32] don't know.

[00:38:33] Then you've got this event

[00:38:34] not related in Vegas.

[00:38:35] Then you've got this event

[00:38:36] where this guy literally

[00:38:37] got arrested on the 17th,

[00:38:38] but we don't find out

[00:38:39] about it until two weeks

[00:38:40] later on New Year's Day.

[00:38:43] And now they've got

[00:38:44] these stories

[00:38:44] and all of them

[00:38:45] have to do with explosives,

[00:38:46] every one of them.

[00:38:47] And I kind of think,

[00:38:48] coincidence?

[00:38:49] I don't believe so.

[00:38:50] I don't buy it.

[00:38:52] I believe they're trying

[00:38:53] to create civil unrest

[00:38:54] and the Democrats

[00:38:55] that kind of were shocked

[00:38:57] into submission

[00:38:58] when Trump won in November

[00:38:59] are now coming back

[00:39:00] with a fury

[00:39:01] and in 2025,

[00:39:03] they're ratcheting up

[00:39:04] this domestic threat.

[00:39:06] So in every case,

[00:39:07] these three instances

[00:39:08] will be considered

[00:39:09] terrorism probably,

[00:39:11] but they'll be also

[00:39:13] considered domestic terrorism.

[00:39:15] Brian,

[00:39:16] this narrative

[00:39:17] seems to not go away.

[00:39:18] They've turned

[00:39:19] the international terrorism

[00:39:20] and all the laws

[00:39:21] that relate to that.

[00:39:23] Now they pointed

[00:39:24] the turret internally

[00:39:25] to the American people.

[00:39:27] Do you want to reply to that?

[00:39:28] Because this to me,

[00:39:29] I'm not in fear

[00:39:30] over the acts

[00:39:31] that have taken place.

[00:39:32] I'm in fear

[00:39:33] of the coordination of this

[00:39:36] and the view

[00:39:37] the government's taking

[00:39:38] that, hey,

[00:39:39] anybody can be

[00:39:39] a domestic terrorist.

[00:39:40] In fact,

[00:39:42] Sam and James Edwards,

[00:39:44] they're the nexus

[00:39:44] of anti-government

[00:39:45] and hate in America,

[00:39:47] says the Southern

[00:39:48] Poverty Law Center,

[00:39:48] putting that on

[00:39:49] the congressional record

[00:39:50] two years in a row.

[00:39:51] Now they're pointing it

[00:39:51] to domestic terrorism?

[00:39:54] This narrative

[00:39:55] has been continually

[00:39:56] walked forward, Brian,

[00:39:57] taking a significant leap

[00:39:59] on New Year's Day.

[00:40:02] Yeah, I agree.

[00:40:04] I think you've hit

[00:40:05] on something here, Sam,

[00:40:07] and I think that's the issue.

[00:40:08] I think fear is obviously

[00:40:09] a Satan-driven design,

[00:40:12] that darkness

[00:40:13] and, you know,

[00:40:16] out there.

[00:40:17] And I believe

[00:40:17] the opposite

[00:40:18] is obviously

[00:40:19] joy and peace

[00:40:20] and that from

[00:40:21] our eternal God.

[00:40:22] And so I think that,

[00:40:23] yeah,

[00:40:24] I mean,

[00:40:24] if we can unravel

[00:40:25] and start attacking

[00:40:26] within ourselves

[00:40:28] and the hate

[00:40:29] and anger

[00:40:30] and all those things,

[00:40:31] yeah,

[00:40:31] I mean,

[00:40:31] it's just,

[00:40:32] yeah,

[00:40:32] it's not a good path

[00:40:33] and we don't want

[00:40:34] to be on that path,

[00:40:35] but I think

[00:40:35] that's kind of

[00:40:36] what's happened.

[00:40:38] All right,

[00:40:38] ladies and gentlemen,

[00:40:39] when we come back,

[00:40:39] we'll turn to

[00:40:40] Honest Money,

[00:40:41] what 2025 is going

[00:40:43] we'll get Brian's

[00:42:27] This is a battle.

[00:42:28] A battle between

[00:42:29] truth and deceit.

[00:42:31] A battle between

[00:42:32] forces that would

[00:42:33] enslave this country

[00:42:34] in darkness

[00:42:35] and between a media

[00:42:36] that wants to present

[00:42:37] you with the truth.

[00:42:38] We are being censored.

[00:42:40] America's news outlets

[00:42:42] no longer provide

[00:42:43] the truth.

[00:42:44] 90% of news outlets

[00:42:45] in the United States

[00:42:46] are controlled

[00:42:47] by six corporations.

[00:42:49] The mission of

[00:42:50] The Epoch Times

[00:42:51] is to chase the truth,

[00:42:53] to ground all

[00:42:54] statements and facts.

[00:42:56] TheEpochTimes.com.

[00:43:03] All right,

[00:43:04] back with you live

[00:43:05] ladies and gentlemen.

[00:43:05] Brian Rust with me.

[00:43:07] Freewatercoinco.com

[00:43:08] doing a phenomenal job.

[00:43:10] So as I look at

[00:43:11] these things,

[00:43:11] I'm just shocked

[00:43:12] that we're going to

[00:43:13] have this much information

[00:43:14] released on explosives

[00:43:15] in a single day.

[00:43:17] New Year's Day

[00:43:17] of all days.

[00:43:18] Why would they release

[00:43:19] that like that?

[00:43:20] Why would this

[00:43:21] Norfolk, Virginia

[00:43:22] or whatever

[00:43:23] be brought up

[00:43:24] and then this other attack?

[00:43:26] I mean,

[00:43:26] there's just so much

[00:43:27] confusion and fear

[00:43:29] that surrounds

[00:43:29] this kind of a narrative

[00:43:31] that it's shocking.

[00:43:32] And why they would do that,

[00:43:33] I don't know.

[00:43:34] But I believe

[00:43:34] they're trying to ratchet up

[00:43:35] this domestic terrorism idea.

[00:43:39] Now,

[00:43:39] are there really domestic

[00:43:40] people that are bad?

[00:43:41] Sure there are.

[00:43:42] I don't know

[00:43:43] how you define

[00:43:43] what terrorism is

[00:43:44] to be honest with you.

[00:43:45] I mean,

[00:43:46] I know they want you

[00:43:46] to define that,

[00:43:47] but I mean,

[00:43:48] it's going to bring terror

[00:43:48] into any group

[00:43:49] if someone goes crazy

[00:43:50] with a gun

[00:43:51] or weaponizes a vehicle

[00:43:53] or okay,

[00:43:53] there's terror everywhere

[00:43:54] for sure.

[00:43:55] Is that terrorism?

[00:43:57] It depends on

[00:43:57] how you define it.

[00:43:59] Brian's right.

[00:43:59] Insurance companies

[00:44:00] have definitions

[00:44:01] for things.

[00:44:01] Courts have definitions

[00:44:02] for things.

[00:44:03] Your government laws

[00:44:04] have definitions

[00:44:05] for things.

[00:44:06] When is somebody

[00:44:07] a lone actor?

[00:44:08] When are they,

[00:44:09] you know,

[00:44:10] an enemy combatant?

[00:44:11] When are they

[00:44:12] a domestic threat?

[00:44:12] When are they

[00:44:13] a domestic terrorist?

[00:44:14] You know,

[00:44:14] all this stuff

[00:44:15] has twisted meanings

[00:44:17] that aren't what

[00:44:17] the average person

[00:44:18] may think either.

[00:44:19] So you got to be

[00:44:20] really,

[00:44:20] really careful

[00:44:21] with that.

[00:44:21] And I think

[00:44:21] they're trying

[00:44:22] to marginalize

[00:44:24] conservatives

[00:44:26] is what it's

[00:44:26] kind of looking

[00:44:27] like to me.

[00:44:29] It's just interesting

[00:44:30] to say the least.

[00:44:31] All right,

[00:44:31] let's move on

[00:44:32] to money

[00:44:32] and the economy.

[00:44:35] Where are we at

[00:44:35] on money,

[00:44:36] Brian?

[00:44:38] So we're at

[00:44:38] 2,659.55

[00:44:41] on gold.

[00:44:44] Okay,

[00:44:45] that's not

[00:44:45] too much

[00:44:45] change,

[00:44:46] is it?

[00:44:46] It was 26

[00:44:46] last time.

[00:44:48] Yeah.

[00:44:49] Slight change.

[00:44:51] 29.59

[00:44:53] on silver.

[00:44:55] And that's

[00:44:56] a little down,

[00:44:57] right?

[00:44:58] Yeah,

[00:44:59] we've been,

[00:44:59] you know,

[00:45:00] we're under

[00:45:00] the 30 mark.

[00:45:01] It's kind of yo-yo.

[00:45:02] You went out

[00:45:03] to the election

[00:45:03] and then Trump

[00:45:04] got in.

[00:45:05] You know,

[00:45:05] the metals kind

[00:45:05] of came down.

[00:45:08] We're still

[00:45:10] holding basically

[00:45:11] strength in that.

[00:45:12] You know,

[00:45:12] my philosophy too

[00:45:13] or thought process

[00:45:15] is that we're,

[00:45:15] you know,

[00:45:16] we've been at $50

[00:45:17] on silver

[00:45:17] and during that

[00:45:19] period of time

[00:45:20] they brought up

[00:45:21] the fact of our,

[00:45:22] you know,

[00:45:22] our economy

[00:45:23] and the dollars

[00:45:24] doing this

[00:45:25] and so on.

[00:45:25] And we still

[00:45:25] talk about that.

[00:45:26] I mean,

[00:45:27] realistically,

[00:45:27] if we look

[00:45:28] at the indicators

[00:45:29] that the declining

[00:45:30] dollar based on

[00:45:31] and hedging

[00:45:32] against inflation

[00:45:33] and then we're

[00:45:34] talking about

[00:45:35] recessions

[00:45:35] and all these

[00:45:36] various things,

[00:45:37] well,

[00:45:37] that's government

[00:45:37] push.

[00:45:38] I mean,

[00:45:38] if you start

[00:45:38] looking at all

[00:45:39] the things

[00:45:40] on inflation

[00:45:41] and recession,

[00:45:42] well,

[00:45:42] and then,

[00:45:43] you know,

[00:45:44] we're going to

[00:45:44] get back

[00:45:44] to 55.

[00:45:46] I mean,

[00:45:46] we're 20 times

[00:45:48] worse than we were

[00:45:49] when it was $50

[00:45:50] an ounce in silver

[00:45:51] than we are now.

[00:45:53] But yet,

[00:45:53] we seem to be

[00:45:54] hovering around

[00:45:54] the 29.

[00:45:55] And so,

[00:45:56] the manipulation

[00:45:56] there is they

[00:45:57] are manipulating

[00:45:58] and they have been.

[00:46:00] You know,

[00:46:00] we can kind of

[00:46:00] get back to that

[00:46:01] whole scenario

[00:46:02] of these big banks

[00:46:04] and the financial

[00:46:06] manipulating their

[00:46:07] markets illegally,

[00:46:08] but they're fine

[00:46:09] and yet we don't

[00:46:10] talk too much

[00:46:11] about that

[00:46:12] because they're

[00:46:13] allowed to do so,

[00:46:14] the big banks,

[00:46:14] the JPs,

[00:46:15] and the Goldman Sachs

[00:46:17] and all that.

[00:46:17] But regardless of

[00:46:19] that,

[00:46:19] I mean,

[00:46:19] I'm digressing now,

[00:46:21] but anyway,

[00:46:21] the metals,

[00:46:22] there's strength

[00:46:23] in these metals

[00:46:24] and across the world

[00:46:26] strength.

[00:46:26] So,

[00:46:27] and the dollar

[00:46:28] really is going

[00:46:29] to be,

[00:46:30] you know,

[00:46:30] it's going to,

[00:46:32] they're going to

[00:46:32] de-dollarize this

[00:46:33] currency.

[00:46:34] I mean,

[00:46:35] every country's

[00:46:35] happened,

[00:46:36] it's happened

[00:46:36] to everybody.

[00:46:36] So,

[00:46:38] we're headed

[00:46:38] that way.

[00:46:39] And interestingly

[00:46:40] enough,

[00:46:40] Trump's trajectory

[00:46:41] has changed.

[00:46:42] He used to be

[00:46:43] against the

[00:46:43] cyber currencies.

[00:46:45] He used to be

[00:46:45] against the,

[00:46:46] you know,

[00:46:47] Bitcoin and the

[00:46:48] whatever,

[00:46:48] you know.

[00:46:49] And now,

[00:46:50] he's changed his

[00:46:51] mind.

[00:46:51] He's in fact

[00:46:51] even involved

[00:46:52] in a cyber

[00:46:55] currency company

[00:46:56] now.

[00:46:57] And so,

[00:46:58] I find that

[00:46:58] very interesting

[00:46:59] is he becomes

[00:47:00] president again

[00:47:00] and changes

[00:47:01] his whole view

[00:47:01] on that.

[00:47:02] As you know,

[00:47:03] the government,

[00:47:04] the Federal Reserve

[00:47:04] and everything else

[00:47:05] trying to fast

[00:47:05] track all that

[00:47:06] stuff,

[00:47:06] right?

[00:47:07] Right.

[00:47:08] And now the

[00:47:09] treasury got

[00:47:09] hacked,

[00:47:10] Brian.

[00:47:10] Did you hear

[00:47:10] that?

[00:47:12] I didn't hear

[00:47:12] that one

[00:47:13] just recently.

[00:47:14] Yeah.

[00:47:15] Oh,

[00:47:15] yeah.

[00:47:16] Treasury

[00:47:16] just got

[00:47:16] hacked,

[00:47:17] buddy.

[00:47:17] Okay.

[00:47:19] So,

[00:47:20] that ought

[00:47:20] to help

[00:47:20] them move

[00:47:21] into

[00:47:21] digital

[00:47:21] currency

[00:47:22] a little

[00:47:22] faster

[00:47:22] probably,

[00:47:23] right?

[00:47:24] There you

[00:47:24] go.

[00:47:26] Well,

[00:47:27] there's

[00:47:27] another

[00:47:27] story

[00:47:28] that we

[00:47:29] can get

[00:47:29] out there

[00:47:29] and see

[00:47:30] who's

[00:47:30] involved

[00:47:30] in that.

[00:47:31] It goes

[00:47:32] five different

[00:47:33] directions.

[00:47:38] Wired.com.

[00:47:39] I mean,

[00:47:39] I think

[00:47:40] they're clowns

[00:47:40] over there,

[00:47:41] but hey,

[00:47:41] they're

[00:47:41] reporting

[00:47:41] this.

[00:47:42] U.S.

[00:47:43] Treasury

[00:47:43] Department

[00:47:44] admits

[00:47:45] it got

[00:47:46] hacked

[00:47:46] by China

[00:47:48] three days

[00:47:48] ago there.

[00:47:49] Just saying.

[00:47:53] Well,

[00:47:54] there you

[00:47:54] go.

[00:47:56] NBC

[00:47:56] News

[00:47:56] says a

[00:47:57] Chinese

[00:47:58] hacked

[00:47:58] American

[00:47:59] computers

[00:47:59] at the

[00:48:00] Treasury

[00:48:00] Department.

[00:48:01] Biden

[00:48:02] administration

[00:48:02] confirms

[00:48:03] China

[00:48:05] cyber

[00:48:06] breach

[00:48:07] of

[00:48:07] Treasury

[00:48:08] Department.

[00:48:08] That was

[00:48:09] two days

[00:48:10] ago.

[00:48:11] China

[00:48:12] hacked

[00:48:12] Treasury

[00:48:12] Department

[00:48:13] major

[00:48:13] breach.

[00:48:15] U.S.

[00:48:16] says.

[00:48:18] That's the

[00:48:18] New York

[00:48:19] Times,

[00:48:19] by the

[00:48:19] way.

[00:48:21] So very,

[00:48:22] very

[00:48:22] interesting.

[00:48:23] How does

[00:48:23] this impact

[00:48:24] things and

[00:48:24] how will

[00:48:24] that impact

[00:48:25] the economy?

[00:48:25] All this

[00:48:26] happening,

[00:48:27] Ryan,

[00:48:27] in the

[00:48:27] lame duck

[00:48:28] session.

[00:48:29] All this

[00:48:30] happening

[00:48:30] while we're

[00:48:31] supposed to be

[00:48:31] celebrating

[00:48:32] holidays for

[00:48:32] crying out

[00:48:33] loud.

[00:48:34] How convenient.

[00:48:36] Yeah,

[00:48:37] that's what I'm

[00:48:37] saying is it's

[00:48:38] just so

[00:48:38] strange.

[00:48:39] How will

[00:48:40] that affect

[00:48:40] things going

[00:48:40] forward?

[00:48:41] Do you think

[00:48:41] financially,

[00:48:42] stock market

[00:48:42] wise,

[00:48:43] Trump's

[00:48:44] agenda wise,

[00:48:44] the list

[00:48:45] goes on

[00:48:45] and on.

[00:48:45] Any thoughts

[00:48:46] for 25?

[00:48:47] My thought

[00:48:47] is they're

[00:48:47] going to

[00:48:48] end up

[00:48:48] dubbing him

[00:48:49] the war

[00:48:49] president.

[00:48:50] He's going

[00:48:50] to go to

[00:48:50] war

[00:48:50] internationally

[00:48:51] and in

[00:48:53] many ways

[00:48:53] domestically

[00:48:54] against all

[00:48:55] the terrorists,

[00:48:56] domestic or

[00:48:56] otherwise.

[00:48:57] And so

[00:48:58] they're going

[00:48:59] to trap

[00:48:59] Donald,

[00:49:00] if he's

[00:49:00] not very

[00:49:00] careful,

[00:49:01] into this

[00:49:01] position.

[00:49:03] Well,

[00:49:03] and they

[00:49:04] kind of put

[00:49:04] him into

[00:49:05] this position

[00:49:05] realistically

[00:49:06] going from

[00:49:07] his last

[00:49:09] regime

[00:49:09] to his

[00:49:11] cabinet or

[00:49:12] group

[00:49:12] because they

[00:49:14] basically started

[00:49:15] doing all

[00:49:16] kinds of

[00:49:16] things to

[00:49:16] unravel if

[00:49:18] he gets

[00:49:18] in anyway.

[00:49:19] So that

[00:49:20] was their

[00:49:21] obviously

[00:49:22] they would

[00:49:22] go and

[00:49:23] continue down

[00:49:24] this path

[00:49:25] if this is

[00:49:25] where we're

[00:49:25] at,

[00:49:26] if we stay

[00:49:27] in office.

[00:49:27] If we're not,

[00:49:28] this is what

[00:49:28] we're going to

[00:49:29] start unraveling

[00:49:30] anything that

[00:49:30] was perhaps

[00:49:31] so that we

[00:49:33] can kind of

[00:49:33] blame it on

[00:49:33] him and

[00:49:36] his agenda.

[00:49:37] So one

[00:49:38] thing,

[00:49:39] I know

[00:49:39] Trump

[00:49:39] getting into

[00:49:40] the cryptos

[00:49:42] and all

[00:49:43] these other

[00:49:43] things and

[00:49:44] trying to

[00:49:45] get into

[00:49:45] that monetary.

[00:49:46] I just

[00:49:47] don't think

[00:49:47] that the

[00:49:47] world that

[00:49:48] we live

[00:49:48] in now

[00:49:51] can figure

[00:49:52] out what's

[00:49:52] the next

[00:49:53] step.

[00:49:53] If it's

[00:49:54] de-dollarization

[00:49:55] and we don't

[00:49:56] want these

[00:49:56] currencies and

[00:49:57] so on to

[00:49:57] kind of

[00:49:58] write,

[00:49:58] what's the

[00:49:58] next step?

[00:49:59] And I

[00:49:59] don't think

[00:49:59] they have

[00:49:59] any answers.

[00:50:00] So they

[00:50:01] just kind

[00:50:01] of,

[00:50:01] they jump

[00:50:02] out there

[00:50:03] and say,

[00:50:03] well,

[00:50:03] maybe we

[00:50:03] need to

[00:50:04] get into

[00:50:09] a

[00:50:10] economy or

[00:50:11] to get

[00:50:12] our currency

[00:50:13] intact or

[00:50:14] our monetary

[00:50:15] system intact.

[00:50:16] And I

[00:50:16] don't think

[00:50:17] they know

[00:50:17] what to

[00:50:17] do because

[00:50:18] the dollar

[00:50:19] is definitely

[00:50:19] going down

[00:50:20] and it's

[00:50:21] about creating

[00:50:22] more money,

[00:50:22] more dollars

[00:50:23] and getting

[00:50:24] rid of the

[00:50:24] old dollars

[00:50:25] like other

[00:50:25] countries have

[00:50:26] done.

[00:50:27] So I

[00:50:27] think they

[00:50:28] don't know

[00:50:28] what to

[00:50:28] do and

[00:50:28] that's

[00:50:29] why we're

[00:50:29] kind of

[00:50:29] in this

[00:50:30] crypto

[00:50:31] age type

[00:50:32] thing.

[00:50:34] Sorry,

[00:50:34] I kind

[00:50:34] of bounced

[00:50:35] all over

[00:50:35] the place.

[00:50:35] No,

[00:50:36] you're making

[00:50:36] sense.

[00:50:37] So my

[00:50:37] question to

[00:50:37] you would be

[00:50:38] do you think

[00:50:38] that crypto

[00:50:38] is going

[00:50:39] to be

[00:50:39] 2025?

[00:50:39] Is this

[00:50:40] the year

[00:50:40] they're

[00:50:40] going to

[00:50:40] move us

[00:50:41] to crypto?

[00:50:42] I don't

[00:50:42] know.

[00:50:44] Because if

[00:50:45] they devalue

[00:50:45] they've got

[00:50:46] to have

[00:50:46] something and

[00:50:47] I don't

[00:50:47] think they're

[00:50:47] in place

[00:50:48] to come

[00:50:50] up with

[00:50:50] anything other

[00:50:51] than what

[00:50:52] maybe we can

[00:50:53] go this

[00:50:53] route.

[00:50:54] But if

[00:50:55] we go

[00:50:56] cashless

[00:50:58] are we a

[00:51:00] credit card

[00:51:00] society and

[00:51:01] crypto society

[00:51:02] type thing

[00:51:03] where maybe

[00:51:04] even we

[00:51:05] as a people

[00:51:06] don't have

[00:51:06] as much

[00:51:07] control?

[00:51:08] Because

[00:51:08] now it's

[00:51:09] not in

[00:51:09] my pocket

[00:51:09] it's

[00:51:09] on a

[00:51:10] card and

[00:51:10] somebody

[00:51:10] can

[00:51:11] digitally

[00:51:11] take

[00:51:11] it

[00:51:12] away

[00:51:12] or

[00:51:12] add

[00:51:12] to it

[00:51:13] or

[00:51:13] whatever.

[00:51:14] Or adjust the value

[00:51:16] based on who you are.

[00:51:17] So Brian,

[00:51:17] you appeared on Liberty Roundtable

[00:51:18] Live the other day.

[00:51:19] Your portfolio shrunk a little bit,

[00:51:21] bro.

[00:51:22] There you go.

[00:51:23] See,

[00:51:23] that's it.

[00:51:24] And so that's the scary thing.

[00:51:25] Is this agenda going forward

[00:51:28] with all these things

[00:51:29] happening?

[00:51:30] Is it a scare factor

[00:51:32] agenda right now

[00:51:33] pushing against

[00:51:34] this new

[00:51:37] government

[00:51:37] type thing

[00:51:38] to scare us all?

[00:51:40] Oh, we should have.

[00:51:41] It's like

[00:51:41] we should have stayed

[00:51:43] with the old

[00:51:43] because the new

[00:51:44] we don't know what to do.

[00:51:45] I don't know

[00:51:46] what their whole agenda

[00:51:47] is, right?

[00:51:50] Well, I can tell you

[00:51:51] what their agenda

[00:51:52] is in very basic terms.

[00:51:53] You got to start

[00:51:54] with the war in heaven

[00:51:55] as righteous versus evil

[00:51:56] and evil wants to destroy

[00:51:58] and divide

[00:51:59] and ruin

[00:52:00] and kill

[00:52:00] and maim

[00:52:01] and hate

[00:52:02] and whatever,

[00:52:03] you know,

[00:52:03] everything destructive

[00:52:04] whereas the,

[00:52:05] you know,

[00:52:05] the followers of Christ,

[00:52:06] the followers of God

[00:52:07] want to be stable

[00:52:08] and confident

[00:52:08] and faith-filled

[00:52:10] not fear-filled

[00:52:11] and, you know,

[00:52:11] and so this war

[00:52:12] just continues on earth

[00:52:13] and any effort

[00:52:14] that Satan can take

[00:52:15] to counterfeit,

[00:52:16] to manipulate,

[00:52:17] to pervert,

[00:52:18] to berate,

[00:52:19] to 180 degrees,

[00:52:21] whatever you want to call it.

[00:52:22] That's the agenda

[00:52:23] of these people

[00:52:24] and it doesn't matter

[00:52:24] that it's not logical

[00:52:26] or organized.

[00:52:27] They don't care

[00:52:27] that it isn't

[00:52:28] a house of organization.

[00:52:29] It's a house of destruction.

[00:52:30] So anything will do,

[00:52:31] Brian,

[00:52:32] doesn't need to link

[00:52:32] or make sense

[00:52:33] as long as it's destructive,

[00:52:35] right?

[00:52:36] Absolutely.

[00:52:37] You hit,

[00:52:37] you hit it on the key

[00:52:39] right there, Sam

[00:52:40] and that's exactly

[00:52:41] what it is

[00:52:41] and so right now

[00:52:42] as a God-fearing

[00:52:45] individually,

[00:52:46] you know,

[00:52:47] believing in God

[00:52:47] and following that path.

[00:52:49] Yeah,

[00:52:49] they're trying

[00:52:50] to instill fear

[00:52:51] and destruction

[00:52:53] and all this stuff

[00:52:55] and yeah,

[00:52:57] we just have to

[00:52:57] hold the iron rod,

[00:52:58] pray,

[00:52:58] and hold on

[00:53:01] to the truths

[00:53:01] that we know are true.

[00:53:03] Absolutely.

[00:53:03] I'm going to testify

[00:53:04] right now

[00:53:05] that God lives

[00:53:05] and that he loves

[00:53:07] his children.

[00:53:07] That's all of us

[00:53:09] and that he sent

[00:53:09] his son Jesus Christ

[00:53:10] who did die on the cross

[00:53:12] but was resurrected

[00:53:13] and lives today

[00:53:14] and invites us

[00:53:15] to follow him

[00:53:16] and keep his commandments

[00:53:17] and when we do,

[00:53:18] when we embrace

[00:53:18] the author of liberty

[00:53:19] like that

[00:53:20] and we repent

[00:53:21] and have faith

[00:53:21] unto Christ

[00:53:22] and repentance

[00:53:22] and these things,

[00:53:24] then he will bless us

[00:53:25] and protect us

[00:53:26] and heal our land

[00:53:26] and to us,

[00:53:28] we want things

[00:53:28] to make sense

[00:53:29] because a house of order

[00:53:30] does make sense.

[00:53:31] To us,

[00:53:32] we want peace

[00:53:32] and prosperity

[00:53:33] and we got to understand

[00:53:35] that the followers

[00:53:36] of Satan

[00:53:37] do not think

[00:53:37] as we do.

[00:53:38] Okay,

[00:53:39] we want stability

[00:53:40] and safety

[00:53:40] and harmony

[00:53:41] and happiness

[00:53:41] and love the Lord

[00:53:42] thy God

[00:53:43] and love thy neighbor

[00:53:43] as thyself

[00:53:44] and okay,

[00:53:45] we want to be

[00:53:46] good Samaritans.

[00:53:47] We want to be

[00:53:48] carrying out

[00:53:49] our responsibilities

[00:53:50] when we are baptized

[00:53:51] that says,

[00:53:52] hey,

[00:53:52] let's bear one another's burdens,

[00:53:54] let's love one another,

[00:53:54] let's,

[00:53:55] they want everything

[00:53:56] opposite of that.

[00:53:59] The sooner you understand

[00:54:00] that and realize

[00:54:00] it's a culture war first

[00:54:02] and a downstream

[00:54:03] everything else war second,

[00:54:04] you'll start to get it

[00:54:05] and then you got to

[00:54:06] advocate for Christ

[00:54:07] and you got to start

[00:54:08] by putting your own

[00:54:09] house in order.

[00:54:10] Brian,

[00:54:11] thank you so much,

[00:54:11] my friend.
