SPEAKER_01

We are the official broadcast of the apocalypse. Tony is not going to be here today. I'm filling in. I am Jason Barker. I'll be filling in for him today and possibly in a couple weeks, but I have it on good authority that Tony is out en route down to Texas to commandeer a SpaceX rocket and head to the moon to verify that the flag is still there. Yes, folks, I've heard that the Russians or the Chinese may have stolen the flag. So Tony is going to rectify that. And uh we'll see how that goes. Um, anyway, we may or may not be joined by my co-pilot uh Ashley think change repeat. She was supposed to join me today, but has some construction going on in her house, so I'm gonna try to hold down the fort. And uh, but Tony will be back next week, so don't fret. And he will be here to talk uh parapolitics and precious metal. Um, anyway, so today I know everybody's talking about the Pam Bondi thing, and let's talk about more Epstein and all this other stuff. And I I think everyone's been uh beating that dead horse for a while. So I've got a few other things to cover today, and it may seem off topic, but it's really not. So I'm gonna go ahead and get started with this. Um, if if you haven't been paying attention, uh Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother, she's an 84-year-old mother of today's show host, uh Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped, and she's been missing since February 1st. I think maybe even before that, there's some reports going on about looking for uh uh footage from ring cameras and whatnot from the neighbors, and we're gonna get into that and and why I'm covering this story. So the the thing that caught my attention on this, and let me go ahead and I'll bring up the screen real quick. May seem irrelevant, but it's not really. Um so Nan Nancy Guthrie uh search continues as FBI Canvas's roadways investigators get over 4,000 calls to tip lines in 24 hours. So, yeah, it's a massive uh hunt for something. They, you know, I don't know how they can't figure this out. This is kind of a high-profile person. Uh I'm I'm personally shocked that it's getting more coverage than say uh a mass school shooting, which just actually happened. This is getting a lot, a lot of coverage. And I'm not typically one of those guys. Uh, and y'all know me. If you watch our show, you know me. Um, I'm not one of those guys that that's gonna go with what the mainstream says. I don't really even watch Fox News, but I occasionally flip it on. I flip on CNN, MSNBC, just to see what the magician's hand is telling you to look at so I can look in the other direction. Um, so one thing I did notice about this story is the 24-hour seven-day a week coverage for the last two weeks over somebody who's not like a diplomat, it's not like the first lady was kidnapped, you know. Yeah, we're gonna pray that that she's found and she's okay, but I I just question this, you know, why so much coverage? Why so much coverage? Um, and then you know, I started asking around, and people are like, oh, this is to distract from the Epstein stuff. And I was like, no, I think there's more to it than that. And so I got to looking in and and uh watching, which I wasted a lot of brain cells on watching Fox News, but it is what it is. Um, I've come down with a couple theories, and maybe y'all can drop it in the chat here. Oh, by the way, we are broadcasting live on WWCR Worldwide Christian Radio, uh, YouTube, Twitter, and Rumble. So if you want to join the conversation, head on over to Rumble. I'm monitoring the Rumble chat right now. I see Brandon Bennett's in there, I'm Marty's in there. Uh I saw that Ashley uh is over in the uh what is it, YouTube. And sorry, uh if I'm a little slow here, folks. This is not my studio, so I'm in Tony's studio today, so I'm trying to figure it out. And uh yeah, I see Ashley's over there. So Ashley, I know that you got some stuff going on in your house, but if you get a uh chance, pop on in here and uh let's talk about this stuff. Um anyway, yeah, back to the the story. So this uh Nancy Guthrie story didn't seem like anything I'd really want to pay attention to, but a couple things did jump out to me. Number one, the red flag for me was the immense amount of coverage, and okay, this is obviously to take uh take the attention away from having to report, especially by Fox News, from having to report on this Epstein stuff that's dropping, uh, which I don't believe anything will happen. I think it's a good thing that they're going over it and exposing that this stuff really does go on, and these conspiracy theorists that talk about the elite and human trafficking and maybe some of the rituals they do uh might not be um might not be fake. It might be some real stuff going on. Who knows? But let me get into the details here a little bit. So as I'm checking this story out, uh one of the big things that came up right away was the ransom. Okay, so there's still debating on whether this was a target of opportunity, somebody was trying to rob the place and was caught, and then they took her, etc. etc. But the ransom was done uh supposedly, you know, asking for a I think it was a six million dollar, if I'm not mistaken, uh, over Bitcoin. And that raised a red flag to me. What is it? And I'm gonna get to everything, like why this all ties together. Hopefully within an hour I can do all this. So, you know, what what's the deal with the Bitcoin? Because there's a lot of stuff going on with Bitcoin right now. There's a lot of stuff going on with the stablecoin, the the digital dollar. And uh, if I backtrack, if I may backtrack to the whole FTX scandal when it went down, I had said back then, as a lot of us had said back then, that it was a an intentional uh an intentional story to demonize private transactions with something the government had no control over. And um, you know, the Sam Bankman-Fried thing with the you know FTX scandal had nothing to do with uh a flaw in the cryptos that were being exchanged, it had to do with management. But the average person would say, hey, uh maybe we need some kind of oversight over this, and and that's where we're headed. And I'll get there with with how they're doing that. Um, and we we've talked about this. I think uh Tiger uh does the Tiger's Den. We've talked about this probably two years ago. We talked about stable coin, you know, when everyone was worried about the Fed now stuff, we were actually looking at okay, they're gonna swap over to the stable coin, and that's what they're working on now. And I know Tony's talked about the Genius Act and stuff like that, but there's another act I'm gonna talk about here that might be a bait and switch on us with when it comes to crypto and other securities, by the way, not just crypto, other digital securities. So if I go down here, I'm sorry for my voice, folks. I'm getting over a cold and it kind of uh came back on me a little bit. So uh please excuse the voice. Uh so uh again, uh she was kidnapped. Uh they're um trying to find her, they're they're at a loss. I don't know how you can round up uh droves of people that may or may not have been a Jan, you know, the January 1st um thing and put them in prison for however long, uh, but you can't find this one guy uh of a high-profile person that had uh you know security cameras and stuff, a ring camera and all that stuff, or a nest, sorry, nest camera. Uh and I'm gonna get into that too, because this also ties into what they're trying to do with uh you know global security or nationwide security uh solutions. But it says here, how Bitcoin might connect to the Nancy Guthrie case. An apparent ransom note for Nancy Guthrie demanded payment in Bitcoin. While authorities have not confirmed the ransom demand is legitimate. By the way, this was dropped to like uh TMC or something like TMZ or something like that. It was not a typical, and I'm not saying this is a false flag and this is fake. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying it's really, really weird, and the amount of attention that is being given is really weird, and the things they're tying it to seems to make sense why they're giving it so much attention, if not to be an Epstein diversion, you know, who knows? But uh anyway, let me continue. Well, authorities have not confirmed if the ransom demand is legitimate, they have previously said they are taking the note seriously. Uh, Ben Weiss, a crypto reporter for Fortune, joined uh CBS News for analysis, and they go on and on. Um, and I think the big takeaway from this is that they are looking and trying to link this crime um with criminal activity and using crypto as a means to do that. And I'm gonna get into the Clarity Act here in a bit because I think that the Clarity Act, which is uh they're trying to get it passed by the end of the year, and the Clarity Act is kind of a hand in hand with the genius act, and nobody really talks about it, but I want to talk about that a little bit today. And this is a perfect uh case study on how they can get people to go along with it, and I believe it's gonna be a bait and switch, in my opinion, and I'll and I'll go over that later. Hopefully, we can get to everything in an hour here. Um, so it says historically criminals flocked to Bitcoin because they thought it was anonymous, uh, Weiss said. But what's happened over the past few years is there are those blockchain whizsies, whatever, that can look at networks of transactions and they can also look at the transactions and often see where they're coming from. Now, this is true, everything's on a on a blockchain that could be looked up. Um, they they make it sound so they're doing two things here. Number one, they're saying that your cryptocurrencies are are uh primarily being used for criminal activity. And number two, well, you probably don't want to use them because they're not as secure as you think they are, which you know, I guess anybody with a computer can figure anything out given enough time and enough skill. Um, but um it's not gonna stop people from using these cryptocurrencies, it's just gonna ask, it's gonna make them ask for uh government oversight, and that's where the Clarity Act comes in. I'm gonna get to that in a bit. Uh so they uh they go over and over uh all many calls that were made, but uh let me see. Okay, let's go ahead and jump over to the I'm sorry if I'm a bit disorganized today, folks. This is uh kind of throwing this together real quick. Um there it is, the Clarity Act. So let me let me talk about this because this sets up kind of the mindset up uh for people to kind of wonder if, you know, should I be using Bitcoin or you know, Dogecoin or what whatever the heck the coin is. Um maybe it's not trustworthy, maybe I need to latch on to this this uh digital dollar, this uh stable coin thing. Um, but you know, the government's gonna come in and help you, right? So I'm looking at this Clarity Act that nobody talks about. It's HR uh 3633. I'll throw it on screen for y'all. Um, so this is an act, and it sounds really good on the surface, you know, uh it's to provide for a system of regulation of the officer and sale of digital commodities by the Securities and Exchange Commission and uh the Commodity Features Trading Commission. So if you scroll down a little bit further, it says this act may be cited as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 or the Clarity Act of 2025 and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act. Now that sounds great, don't it folks? Anti-CBDC and anti-surveillance. That sounds really great. But when we dig into it a little bit, now the uh granted this has passed the House already, but it has not passed the Senate. It's still being marked up in the Senate. And uh they say that this proceed or that the uh this comes on the heels of the um the genius act, but in my understanding, this was actually out before the genius act. This was step one, and that's what government will tend to do is take away options or take control of those options and then give you a different option, you know, planned obsolescence, right? And that's what I'm seeing happening, and that's where I think this um this Guthrie story is coming in, is to really kind of put a nail in the coffin. There's a two-part, there's a surveillance portion to this as well, but they've really, really hammered on the Bitcoin aspect of it. And I think that that's going to be used. Um whatever, hopefully, it's not a tragedy. Hope they uh hopefully they recover her uh and she's fine. I know there's some issues there. She has uh uh hypertension medication that she doesn't have with her, and she also has uh pacemaker. So uh hopefully she you know pray for that that she's safe, safely returned. But I'm gonna give you a little summary of what this Clarity Act really means. Um, it establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework, regulatory. Okay, so you're taking something that was uh decentralized and you know, peer-to-peer, I can do a transaction with you or me, it's not taxed, it's not necessarily seen, even though yes, you can. If you I guess if you got the skills, you can figure it out. But what's I mean, who's gonna be looking at uh Joe Blow like me over here doing a trade with my neighbor who mows my grass? Uh nothing, you know, that they're not gonna be doing all that. But if asked to go through a regulation or a funneled into uh regulated, that changes the story there when it comes to those kind of uh decentralized assets. Uh let me pause for a second. We got Gar Goldsmith in the house over on uh uh is that Rumble? I can't tell which one it is. My screen is so tiny. Uh over on YouTube, we got Bronx Stomper over. That's Derek over on YouTube, and uh and we got Doug lugg over on Rumble and I'm Marty as well. I think I mentioned I'm Marty, but hey, welcome folks. But anyway, let me get back on track. So this is what uh what it's basically doing, this Clarity Act, if it passes, and it's being rewritten. So understand it could be a bait and switch. So it takes care of uh digital commodities, i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum, things like that. It's gonna end up being regulated by the CFC or CFTC. It's gonna take investment contract assets. Um, and I think there's a lot of ETF stuff involved with that as well. I've I've been trying to get smart on that. I'm not really that smart on that stuff, but uh anyway, it's gonna continue to be regulated by the SEC uh if they depend on centralized efforts. And then here's the the kicker, and you won't see this in a lot of these reports. Uh, permitted payment stable coins, government under a separate framework, i.e., the genius act, and then it cites the genius act. So, anyway, that's one of the things I wanted to talk about with this massive case going on that they're hammering, hammering, hammering. I think they are setting up um a premise that the government needs to get a handle on on these assets that they don't control, they can't tax, they can't monitor. Although they do say that they can monitor it, they apparently can't monitor it because they can't track these people down who set up this this uh wallet. Uh, so I don't know. Is it a bluff? Uh, is it a fake? Is it a deep fake? I don't know. And then I'm gonna get into the second part of this. Uh, so that that's kind of my my take on it. I'd like you guys' opinion on this uh Nancy Guthrie case because it just seems to me like it's so overreported, it's so under uh underhandled, they can't seem to find anybody, they have all this surveillance, all these flock cameras, everything. And for some reason, you know, this has to become an emergency that's got 24-7 coverage and bitcoins attached to it. So let's go to part two of it. All right, so we had again, I said earlier, they had over 4,000 calls made. All these calls, they had picked up one guy that they questioned. Uh they there was a ring, not a ring, a NES camera that was not attached to the system. So, similar to what I have, and I'll kind of go over what I have. So I have one of these doggone camera networks, not on the inside of my house, heck no, but on the outside of my house, I do have a doorbell. And I primarily bought that back when we were getting a lot of Amazon packages. And if somebody was to like rip off a package, I wanted to get them on camera. Uh, and then I got a couple externals that cover my basement door and my back door. Uh, the thing is, I don't want my stuff on the internet. So I bought it. I didn't really use it. It comes with a free one-month subscription uh to where your stuff is stored online and stuff like that. I let that expire and I have the ability to store my stuff at home. So it utilizes my Wi-Fi. Uh, if somebody triggers a camera, it'll notify me, hey, there was some motion at your back door, and then uh it does that via my Wi-Fi, of course, uh, to my cell phone, and then I can look at that, and the file is stored locally on a little USB stick that sticks in the little brains, the little square box or whatever. And and I thought that that was you know not being part of this surveillance grid. Boy, was I wrong. After uh going through this story, I found that that is absolutely wrong. So they're framing this story as if they have all these um these people that have called in and they can't find nothing, they can't find nothing. They've got uh this nest footage from her doorbell cam. The guy had come up, uh he had a ski mask on and a jacket and gloves, pretty well, pretty well disguised. Uh, they did pick up one guy that some I think it was a family member or friend or something said, I seen the eyes, I think it's this guy, and they let him go. Uh, but basically the picture they're painting is that we cannot get our suspect, we can't get anything because we don't have the proper surveillance. That's what I'm seeing the picture being painted now with this particular story. And uh I'm gonna read this here uh about the Nest. So she had the particular, she had the Nest system, was similar to mine, uh, didn't renew it, it was not connected to the cloud, you know, apparently not uh connected to the cloud. We'll find out it was. Uh so this guy, Alex uh Stamos, he's a cybersecurity expert, says that data from NES cameras, like the one that captured the video of the person outside of uh Miss Gushry's house, um, is streaming constantly to Google. That's something I just learned today. Streaming to Google constantly and may not be be deleted for some time, even for non-subscribers. So now this is something I want to talk about. So my assumption was that if I don't have a subscription, it's my own private security system, and you can't be accessed by anybody the internet. You're I have to I have to basically call in to my system and say, show me the last video clip or whatever. But apparently that's not the case. Now, can this be used in a court of law? No, because you would have to have a warrant to get access to that footage. Um I think this case is gonna move that over to the window to where people are going to beg that all cameras out there, doorbell cameras, including cameras inside your house. Uh that's been found out recently, uh, will be attached to the big grid because of situations like this. Now, do I for one minute think that they don't have the ability to find out what happened to this poor lady? I think that they absolutely do. Um, I don't know, my personal opinion, maybe it's a conspiracy theory, but I've seen the capabilities. Again, you look at January 6th. I say did I say January 1st earlier? I'm sorry, I'm still a little uh groggy from my cold, but yeah, January 6th, they were able to track down people. In fact, they nabbed up people that weren't even there. Uh, because maybe somebody used their credit card or they passed through or whatever. So this to me looks like it's setting the stage for something to number one, demonize crypto. Uh, maybe this will piggyback on this Clarity Act and and garner support for some changes in it before it passes the Senate. Um, that will be extremely intrusive for those who do hold uh crypto. And then number two, uh to uh bind together what they're already doing. Uh, and I got some information on that. If you have one of these nest or flop, not nest, but uh yeah, nest systems, or I have the blink system personally, and then you get the ring uh systems, they're already being co-opted by the by the police and uh linked up with the flock systems. And I have articles on this that we'll pull up in a minute. Uh, but it talks about the um, you know, they they played this whole game during this case so far that the internal storage uses are very lazy deletion mechanism, blah, blah, blah. They're talking about how hard it was. No, they got the footage. You know how hard it is for me to get my footage from my offline camera. I pull the USB stick out, I stick it in a computer, and I watch the MP4. It's that easy. So I know what they're saying is a lie. Um, anyway, take it for what you will. Uh, let me go on and on here. Uh, it says here surveillance video is a gold mine, forensic analysis says. A forensic analysis called the video showing a person at Nancy Guthrie's door, a gold mine, and says three things stood out to him that haven't really been discussed in the media. The first thing is that there's no audio with the video. See, they're trying to point out the flaws. We got to make sure that audio and video get sent to Google or whoever's collecting this, um, which could be by design based on law enforcement release of that information. No, it doesn't uh record the audio or indicate that the audio was turned off and not functioning. Uh a forensic analysis certified by the law enforcement and emergency service uh video. So talking talking about who the guy is. Um, so no, I think that I think that they have more than they say they have, and they're just trying to set the stage to to have a call for hey, if you have a surveillance device, it needs to be tied into the big grid of things, if that makes any sense. Uh, let me pause for a second. My throat's hurting, so I'm gonna drink coffee and read the chat. Um, you got what what word spells in the chat over on Rumble? What's up? Ridiculously random. That's a cool name. Uh, and he says, uh, he or she, I don't want to miss gender. You know how that goes these days. That's a lie, just like when they said they couldn't find a very tall Middle Eastern man on dialysis. That's a good one. Um uh due to an overload, this is from my Marty. Due to an overload, the only thing that I know about Guthrie is her name popping up again, again. I choose to remain willfully ignorant. You know, that's where I was at. I'm Marty. I was at the same point, but I'm like, why? Why the constant thing? So I dug deeper, I watched it, I you know, destroyed my brain cells uh for three days watching Fox. I'm like, why is this? And everybody was saying, you know, it's a distraction from the Epstein stuff. I'm like, no, there's something more behind it. So I started digging into uh what are they gonna use it for? And that's what I'm always looking at. What will they use this for? Number one, I'm seeing them use it for demonizing crypto or at least calling for some kind of oversight because of criminality it's used for. And let's face it, Epstein used World of Warcraft fake gold to launder money, right? And I don't want to talk about Epstein today, I really don't. But if criminals want to do criminal stuff, criminals are gonna find a way to transfer or launder money. That's just how it's gonna work. The problem with crypto is, and I'm not a crypto guy, I don't have any crypto, I don't want to have any part of crypto. I know Tony deals in the crypto business, and I know people have done very well on crypto. It's just not something I understand. So I stay away from things that I don't understand. Um, but it's something, as far as I can tell, it's something that the the government can't tax, they can't control it. It's decentralized to the point that it's it would cost them too much money to track everything and then send you a letter saying, hey, you did this transaction and you owe us taxes on this or whatever. And then there's also the the aspect, if you really want to get in the deep weeds, the real deep weeds, is the green agenda. Because the ultimate goal is to tax everything you do based on your carbon score, your meat ingestion, all this other stuff. I can go on for days about this. And now I'm going off the rails, but this is probably a good a good thing for me. Um, you can't do that when transactions are private, and that's why gold and silver is a great way to go. I know people are gonna argue with me and say that, oh, if you buy, you know, I use my bank account or a credit card uh to buy, you know, 10 ounces of silver or an ounce of gold or whatever, that that's reported. Well, maybe it is, maybe it's not. Maybe I paid cash. You know, uh they come to my house, oh, they're gonna confiscate it. Well, maybe they're gonna do that. Maybe I can tell them I traded it. Yeah, I mean, I've been known to leave a one-ounce coin. Uh now it would be kind of crazy to do that. But back in the day when I bought into silver, I'd leave a one-ounce coin. I usually a second amendment round on the table as a tip for the waitress. And that would catch their attention to spark a conversation. So um, but you know, you could always say that I don't have it anymore. What are they gonna do? You know, but anyway, I'm getting I'm getting sidetracked here. So let's go back to the surveillance portion of this. And I think that that's what this story is setting us up for as a part two is the surveillance. Um, here's something to note when I was talking about you, because they're talking about your stuff being offline and they can't get that information in this particular case. And there's other cases where they've brought this up. This is just the high profile one. I'll bring this article up. This is an old article now. I'm gonna change the layout here a bit, folks. All right, so this is from CNN, and this dates back to uh 2019, so this is a while back. Ring and this doorbell cameras have partnered with over 400 police departments. Do you think that they told the people who were paying for those ring systems and their subscriptions that they were giving that information to the police? Probably not. Uh, and I would uh suspect that they would have to do a warrant to use that information in court, which again goes back to why they're painting this. Like, are they gonna do a blanket, well, we don't need a warrant anymore uh type thing. So using this case. Uh let's see, I know I highlighted some something. Uh so here's a map for those listening on audio. Uh, this was again back in was it 20 2019? Already this map, which encompasses quite a bit of the East Coast, um, somewhat of the Midwest Coast, up heavily around the Great Lakes area, and then a Los Angeles uh area. And it seems like was that the San Francisco, yeah, Sacramento area, uh, very heavily uh dotted with police departments that are already paired up back then with access to these um ring cameras. Now let's fast forward a little bit. Here's another article. Uh, and this this is not just ring now, this is actually the blink systems, the uh nest systems and stuff like that. Uh so it says ring cameras are about to get increasingly chummy with law enforcement. So we went from how many was it? Let me go back. It was oh man, I just got off my clicker. All right, so this was 400. We've gone from 400, and this article comes from October of 2025. It says now approximately 5,000 law enforcement agencies are requesting access to ring camera footage via surveillance platforms from Flock Safety. So now, if you're not aware of what Flock is, Flock is those cameras that they put up, uh, got the license plate readers. Uh, now they're doing facial recognition. They're they're actually looking at your vehicle and building a profile of your vehicle, uh, where the dents are, the rust. Um, maybe you got a a purple hood on a green car because you know you piece it together, whatever. It builds a profile. Uh, also the way you walk, you know, a lot of people think that the six-foot uh distancing during COVID was to train these systems, you know, to get us far enough apart that the AI could actually look at how uh people walk and you can identify you by what they call your gate or whatever. So uh anyway, that's what the Flock system has been doing. Uh, it's already been proven. The Flock itself boasts that uh uh I think it was a murderer or something, it was some murderer kidnap or something. Uh, we've reported on it before. Uh happened in one state. They traveled three or four states over, and using these flock systems that are supposed to belong to that city or county, whoever paid for it, are actually intertied together as a nationwide network and maybe even global network, who knows? But we know it's a nationwide network, and they were able to track this guy down across multiple states and and capture him. And that's one of Flock's case studies that they boast to try to sell their their uh services to people. And and there are some other ones too. I found out uh in researching this stuff uh yesterday, I found out that there are other things besides Flock out there that are tied in to the Flock network. And now what they want to do is tie in your ring cameras and uh you know your blink cameras and stuff like that, which could include your interior cameras if you have interior uh cameras in case you get robbed or something like that. They have the evidence. Well, that might be accessible to just about anybody. Uh and I'm gonna throw this quote up here real quick. I got this ready. Kind of what made me want to talk about this is this quote from um where is it? Here it is. It's from Benjamin Franklin. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. And that quote right there is kind of what got me wanting to talk about this. And I was thinking about how do we do this? How how do we give these things up? Well, it's because an event, right? An event happens. Uh, I tend to lean on most national events are probably orchestrated. This event maybe not. I know that they monopolize, uh, they being the ones who write policy uh to obtain power, power and money. Uh they'll monopolize on any event. So I'm not again, I'm not saying that uh Miss Guthrie was was taken as a fake story. I don't think it's a fake story. I think it really happened. Uh it could be something as simple as a robbery gone bad, and they've floated those ideas. Uh, it did seem like the person was prepared though, if if you look at it, but nonetheless, it's going to be used the way it's used. And this is what I'm seeing from analyzing is the um the crypto aspect and then the security aspect. So back to my uh article here. Uh so they they ramped it up to 5,000, and that was actually back in uh late 2025. So who knows how many agencies are actually uh tapped into these things. Uh says privacy concerns. So these are privacy concerns outside its software platform. Flock is known for license plate recognition cameras. Flock customers can also search footage from flock cameras using descriptors to find people such as a man in a blue shirt and cowboy hat. Uh, besides law enforcement agencies, flock says 6,000 communities and 1,000 businesses use their products. Uh that's a really big issue right now. A lot of people are protesting the Flock. Um, I know a lot of people are spray painting them or burning them. They have like these torches on a stick. Uh I don't know how much trouble you can get in for doing that because you know they they're telling you what's ice saying right now. You can't film us, but you're filming us 24-7. Red light cameras, license plate readers, uh facial recognition cameras. This stuff's going into the grocery store now. Uh it's getting pretty ridiculous. And just to show you on a scale, let me show you. Here's a map of the United States, and they're grouped, right? So these are how many of these flock cameras are in each kind of county. And it doesn't seem like a lot, you know, 601 there, 1,563 there, uh, 1488 there. It but when you start looking now, they haven't spread out, they're strategically placed. And I have seen personally when I went to visit my mother in Iowa uh before the snow set in this year, we were on a two-lane blacktop, middle of nowhere. Boom, flock camera. Why was there a flock camera there? And it's just the one I noticed. I don't know how many we may have passed. Uh, it was there because it's a main corridor. So you can make of it what you will, folks. You know, are they if you know about the 15-minute city model and the rewilding of America and corridors that you would go from one uh you know, Freedom City to another Freedom City, those will be monitored. Uh, and I think that's why they have them along these massive corridors. Uh, what else do we got here? Oh, so I wanted to talk about how many of these flock cameras or not flock cameras, the uh home security systems there are. Um right now, actually, this is not right now, this is back from 2023. Uh, I was surprised how many people actually have these. It says in 2023, approximately 20% of the U.S. households actually have at least one. Uh, most people have multiple of these cameras on their doorbell, and probably one or two cameras at least on the external of their house, covering their driveway or whatever. Uh, and that's about 26 million homes. Now, let's let's back it up here. Let me put this back on screen. So you have all of these cameras on the map here, everywhere covering the highways. Um, they're not obviously not going to put them in every neighborhood, but you got 26 million plus. This is what three years ago. So this probably doubled uh by then. The surveillance network is off the chain. It's off the freaking chain. And I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. Again, the only reason I'm covering this story about Miss Guthrie uh is because I see this being something that's going to get that foot in the door to get people to accept uh both the the crypto regulation and the increased security. Um so let me get into this. Uh I think I already talked about the Clarity Act. Um, I do have I do want to cover this going back to the Clarity Act here. So here's three key things the crypto investors should know about the Clarity Act, right? Uh it says the Senates, but I think it hasn't passed the Senate yet. It's only passed the House. Uh it's supposed to pass the Senate by the end of the year, so they're working on marking it up. Uh, anyway, uh the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is a crypto market structure bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, is currently being reviewed and amended before moving to a full floor vote in the U.S. Senate. Now, again, I do want to say if you look at this thing on its face, it sounds pretty good. It sounds like it's gonna be anti-CBDC and we're not gonna have some meme meme coin come and rip you off. You know, we're gonna protect you. The government's here to protect you, going back to the quote, right? You're gonna give up your liberty. I think if you make a bad decision, that's your bad decision. You should be informed. I don't need the government to babysit me. Uh, so here we go. Here's the division between commodities and securities. We kind of covered that earlier, but this is more detailed. Under the proposed framework, digital asset classification as commodities would fall under the jurisdiction of the uh commodity futures trading commission. That's a CFTC. Uh, securities would remain under the oversight of the SEC. This distinction is critical because regulatory uncertainty has long clouded the industry. Um, so basically, they're they're getting their grip, they're trying to get their grip around it, and we don't know what that grip is going to entail later. Again, my personal feeling is they want their grip around it so they know what's happening. Uh, this is the the monetary security or not uh like instead of your video surveillance that we were talking about, this is your monetary surveillance, and that can go a long way towards taxing you, towards uh jailing you for what they deem as criminal activity or whatever. So I just think it's no bueno. I think it's gonna go south. Uh lawmakers argue that such yield programs resemble high-risk financial products that lack deposit insurance guarantee or guarantees. Supporters of the bill uh believe stricter oversight could reduce uh systematic risks and potential uh retail of and protect uh retail investors. So again, stricter oversight. That's the key words right there. I don't want your oversight. Um, what's going to be next? You know, if I trade in baseball cards, do I have to uh go through the government to make sure they're not fake baseball cards? You know, I think it's on the buyer beware uh type thing. That's where I stand, more of a libertarian uh outlook on it. Um hey post-constitutional, what's going on? It's good to see you too. Sorry, I'm a little under the weather, so forgive me for the voice. Uh uh, the government is our underdog, Doug Lug says. Okay. It says, on the other hand, exchanges and crypto platforms warn that limiting yield products may reduce innovation and user participation. Bingo, that is the key right there. Let me pull this down and go off the cuff here for a minute. So, besides getting a grip, and we don't know where it's gonna go right now. The way it's written, it just looks like they're gonna protect people who are investing in these digital assets. Um, but it's got to be marked up in the Senate yet. So we don't know where it's gonna go. My feeling, as I said earlier, is it's gonna become taxable. Um, if it goes up in value, are you gonna get a capital gains tax on that? Uh, you know, having oversight, having knowledge is one thing, but here's the the kicker. We talk about planned obsolescence. And I'm I've been talking about this planned obsolescence. I meant to do a deep dive report on it uh because I have a lot of personal experiences here in the last few months where it's accelerating. Uh, but I won't go that direction. That'll take two hours. But if you can undermine people's confidence and they want to go digital or they're forced to go digital because nobody's taking cash, that leaves what as the alternative? A digital dollar. So that's where I was saying when this Clarity Act thing first came out, I was saying, watch this Clarity Act, because right now they're doing the Genius Act, which is the framework for a digital dollar. But they can't force you into a digital dollar if you have alternatives. So they're gonna obsolete the alternatives or at least make them undesirable. And that's what it says right here. It may reduce innovation and user participation. I think that's the desired outcome. So, you know, I mean, and if you do use it, who's to say they're not gonna tax you heavily? Uh, for what you do. Like if I pay my neighbor to mow my grass and I use a Bitcoin wallet to transfer, you know, 20 bucks worth of Bitcoin, is that neighbor gonna have to pay tax on it? Am I gonna get hammered uh for a carbon tax now because how much gas was used? You know, uh, I mean, that's where they're going with it, folks. That's where they're going. Um, and then it says, uh, here's another one. What if what what does it mean for investors? If enacted, the clarity, if enacted as written now, I'll say that. If enacted, the Clarity Act could open more structured regulatory era for crypto markets. Again, regulation. The new regulations would provide clear guidelines. Now that's where it sounds good. Uh, clear guidelines, so you wouldn't get ripped off by some meme coin, I guess. Uh, they will also drive institutional investment and support ETF development. Don't like ETFs. That's all speculative crap. I hate it. Uh, the new regulations will change how decentralized and yield-based systems operate. Okay, there you go. In a nutshell. And uh, I guess that will wrap it up for what I had to say about this story. I just wanted to cover it because I know the mainstream's covering it, and I have seen hardly nothing in uh the alt media on it. Um I don't know why that is, but uh maybe it's because it's you know, it's it's like I said, it's not like you know, not like the the president of Venezuela was kidnapped or anything, right? It's just some lady uh whose daughter happens to be a newscaster, but the media mainstream all over it, and I was like, why, why, why? So that's the underpinning the tones I got from it was that they're gonna make a move with uh control of crypto and with the surveillance state. I think that that's coming. And we know well, we know that's coming. I think this is gonna be an event that's gonna help accelerate it. And uh, I guess for the last we only got about 15 minutes left. I'm surprised it went that long on that. Um, I do want to go on, I'll go ahead and cover this. This is a completely different story. Uh, because we're talking about control here, also control of food. And there's a story out there uh y'all may be familiar with. Uh there was a guy who got supposedly arrested for collecting rainwater. And uh forget where it was. I got this. Let me go ahead and pull it up. This I had this stuff ready two weeks ago. We just didn't get to it, so I'm covering it today. So, yeah, there's a big story going on about this guy who got arrested for collecting his own rainwater. Um, and that wasn't the truth. Okay, the guy got arrested not for collecting his own rainwater, but he dammed up a tributary and withheld the water from going downstream. Uh, so he basically, you know, these people downstream, whether they had a farm or whatever they had, they had uh grandfathered in or older water rights, and he that's what he got arrested for. So this article here, I looked it up to verify. This is from the Water Nexus blog uh from watercash.com. It says, uh, rainwater collection will not get you arrested. That is not entirely true. Depends on where you're at. In Colorado, when I was there, you could not collect rainwater. A lot of people complained about it, not in my area anyway. Uh they complained about it, and the city came through and said, Okay, you can collect one barrel, like a 55-gallon drum. You know, they make these plastic barrels. You could put your your downspouts from your gutters in there and collect the rainwater for use for watering your lawn or garden, which makes no sense to me because the water's going to the ground eventually anyway, so it makes no sense. But uh uh in this particular case, you couldn't get arrested for it. It says illegally impounding a tributary and damming millions of gallons of water, which the government does when they build dams for hydroelectric, okay, um, of water that by law belongs to the state will get you arrested. And that was what the uh the misnomer or the you know they blew this thing out of proportion when the guy obviously broke a law, he was withholding water. Uh, I don't know how that works. Uh, there was another story I read about where they tried to come after this guy that had a uh cattle pond. And I wanted to find that story. I couldn't find it again, but they actually went after him for this same thing. But it turns out, and this is where it gets interesting, it turns out that whatever industry or whatever filed the complaint that he was withholding the water in this case, he had had that farm and this family for like a hundred plus years, and that pond had been there. So the judge ruled on his side and says, No, his water rights come before your water rights. You can't come in later and then say, I want your water. Well, that's where this gets interesting. Uh, I'm gonna play a video here. This is what's going on in Idaho right now, and um, it's actually going on in multiple states, but this is the story I've been following. So, this is a family here that uh have been demanded to shut their wells down. I'm gonna go ahead and play it. Let me mute myself right quick.

SPEAKER_00

So, this is a letter that we just got. We weren't think we didn't think we were gonna be affected by this curtailment because most of our farm ground, all these sprinklers going back over here, most of our farm ground is surface water through canals. We do have eight wells, but two of them are emergency wells, and I think we we've converted I think three more, two or three more over to surface water.

Cobalt, Green Goals, And Lost Crops

SPEAKER_01

I forgot this is kind of a long video, so for the sake of time, I'll just paraphrase what they talk about here. So this farm's been around forever and a day, and um they have this water curtailment going on in in Idaho, and the location is very specific. I'll show a map here in a moment, and they're shutting these all these farms down. Matter of fact, I'll show the map right now. Um, where is it? I got it here. There it is. So if you take a look, I don't know what you would call this, but look at the outline here. And for those listening, this is kind of the bottom right corner of Idaho. I call it the little uh toe tip or the boot, the boot toe or whatever, if you look at it like a boot. And all of these yellow dots here, and there's hundreds and hundreds of them, if not thousands, uh thousands of these farms that are being told they cannot use their water, or they're being curtailed to a certain amount. And this is like the the breadbasket of potato growing in the US, right? And the significance of this is uh why it's being curtailed. So let me go and show another video before we get into the why. This video is a little bit uh I'll stop it early. But this is another another family here, another guy. Uh, there's this guy, there's another guy, and I'll cut it short uh when he gets going.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I wanted to talk about what's going on in Idaho because some of you have probably heard about this, but the state of Idaho has put a water curtailment order, which is basically a water shutoff order on literally a half million acres of uh farmland. That's a lot of potatoes. A lot of these farmers, this impacts about 6,400 water users, but a lot of these farmers that are farming this land have already invested thousands of acres, uh thousands of dollars per acre to grow potatoes.

SPEAKER_06

Good morning, everyone. My name's Trevor. All right, I was trying to unmute myself.

Data Centers’ Thirst And Hidden Costs

Precious Metals, Wolf Pack, And Closing

SPEAKER_01

I'll go ahead and stop, but I'll paraphrase this next guy, what he was saying. Um so number one, the first guy talked about the investment that goes into planting. So these guys have spent thousands of dollars per acre planting uh potatoes, and we've seen this happen all over the country in the last, I don't know, 10 years or so, where for whatever reason uh they don't get their harvest and the family farm goes under and uh they have to sell the business, or you know, or if somebody dies and and someone inherits the land, they can't pay the taxes on it. And the farmland's being consolidated. And this, you know, I know this is an off-topic talking about potatoes, but you know, uh going with the security consolidation of uh digital assets and stuff like this, we're also seeing consolidation of farmland. So this overall overarching theme is control, command and control of everything. So uh this guy uh that follows up, I'll paraphrase what he says because we are short on time. Um, he points out that when the farmers go under, it affects more than just the farms. Already that's bad enough because what are we going to eat uh Gates' Franken food, right? They they can use all the water they want for their vats where they're fermenting or whatever it's a fermentation process to make fake meats and then run all the energy they want uh to you know operate these big warehouses and factories and 3D print this meat. That's okay, right? But I can't have a car uh a cow out there eating grass, you know, whatever. Um, anyway, he he points out a very good fact. It's the second, third, and fourth order effects that happen when a farm goes down. When you have these agricultural uh economies, you know, and I grew up in southern Illinois for you know my my younger part of my childhood, and everything is centered around that. If the farms go down, the grain mills go down, the gas station goes down, the McDonald's goes down, and towns crumble. We saw this happen in southern Illinois with coal mines. Coal mines went down, those entire towns are just crumbling now. There's nowhere to work, there's nothing, you know, there's nowhere to shop for food outside of a Walmart, you know, or maybe a Dollar General. Uh, and and we keep seeing this happen. But the real concerning part, and I've got about five minutes, so I'll try to get through this. Um, this guy, I will pull this up on screen. I'm not gonna play this, but this guy is interesting. He's the one that kind of got me on this uh spiel about the potatoes and the water. He actually talked about money being diverted from Ukraine funds to go to a mine which is using this water, which is making is taking the water away from the farmers. Now, the reason this is important is because if you remember what I talked about earlier, where if you had the water rights first, somebody can't come later on and say, Well, we want your water and take it from you. But that's exactly what's happening here, and there's a lot of precedent on this. There's a lot of precedent, you know. Just like you can't come in later and take water from upstream, denying someone who had the older rights downstream, you go to jail for that. But you can't come downstream and then demand the person uh who had water rights going you know from before. You can't demand that they give those up, and that's exactly what's happening. And why is it happening? Well, let's take a look here. Uh, so we'll go back to that map. If I can find it, I got so much stuff here. So here's the map. You see all the yellow dots, blah blah blah. Well, right here where this big lake is, we have a uh cobalt production facility. So the mine cobalt, and this is for the green agenda. Again, the green agenda. Uh there's a mine up in the mountains in Idaho. And if you go down here right where that lake is, you can see if you're if you're listening, it's right in the same area where this big lake is, which is downstream from all these farms that are being shut down. You can cross-reference the map. You can see that those are the ones being shut down because they want this water for cobalt production. And cobalt production, of course, is for your green energy for your batteries. Um, and if you take a look here, here's another map uh of Idaho. Uh, and you can see if you know how to read a topographical map. I know this doesn't have the lines and stuff, but you can see that it all drains down there, and you can see this big basin right here is where all the farms are being shut down. So our green agenda is affecting more than uh just what cars we can buy. It's taking our food away and it's making gates rich and alternatives again, the planned obsolescence, planned obsolescence of traditional stuff, so that you have to move into the new stuff. Uh, and it doesn't matter how much water they use, right? And anyway, I'm gonna run out of time here. Uh, and then we have the data centers that use it, they don't care about that. This is a map of all the data centers out there. Uh typical usage for a data center, uh, between 11 million and 19 million of liters or 2.9 to 5 million gallons of water a day per center. And you can see by the map how many there are. So, anyway, I got to get ready to wrap it up here. But uh, food for thought on this. Um, food for thought on what they're doing to our traditional stuff, our farmers. Uh, you know, to recap, number one, the control mechanism of your finances is coming in a flash. The constant surveillance is coming in a flash, and now the tokenization taking of our resources uh and denying it to our traditional means is coming in a flash. And then they're going to also sell us some fake stuff, which enriches the people like Bill Gates and others who make fake meats. Uh, so before I get out of here, I only got a couple minutes, and I'm sorry, I was kind of disorganized today. I do have a bit of a groggy head. Um I wanted to talk about uh Wise Wolf. Oh, I close that out. I shouldn't have closed that out. I'd be remiss not to talk about Wise Wolf since this is uh Tony's show. And I did want to cover one thing if I can get to it. All right, we got it back up. So here you go. If you want to go check out Tony's uh shop, go to uh or Tony's offers on gold, he can sell you gold, he could do a 401k rollover, which I did. Uh, and I gotta tell you, I am outperforming any market that Pam Bonnie wants to talk about. I'm outperforming it with the gold and silver uh IRA, the precious metals IRA. And you get to select how that's spent yourself, by the way, once it's set up. Uh so yeah, Arterburn.gold will get you there. Um, go there. And if you click on buy gold, you're gonna go over here to um why well you can do the uh wolf pack, which I do. I'm a monthly member of the wolf pack. And uh I'm doing the warrior wolf right now just because the the silver's gone up so much in price that um you know I I want to get more. I just like to open it. I like to see it. So I went up a tier. I know I got some friends over here that do the alpha and the Y's. Um I ain't got the the cash to do that right now, but if I did, I would. Um we'll take a look at gold prices. Oh, they let me see if I oh please. I gotta confirm I'm a human. Holy cow, look at this. I'm not gonna do this. All right, so gold was up in the around 80 or so, and uh I'm sorry, uh silver was up around 80 or so, and gold was uh up at the 5,000 mark. Um, I personally thought I didn't think that silver was gonna pop 100. I thought it was gonna get up maybe to 90 and then drop and hover around the mid-70s, which it did drop back down, uh, but it did spike high. And then the gold, I didn't think gold would break the 5,000 mark, but it did. So I was wrong there. But uh people are saying it went down. But um, oh, by the way, let me go ahead and say goodbye to our WWCR folks because it's going to cut that off. So hey, thanks for tuning in. Hopefully, I I gave you some info and uh have a good one. Uh, but we'll continue on for the rest of the folks on video. But yeah, gold and silver, even though they've gone down, I still think they're doing great if we look at it over. Um, this is got crypto on the screen right now, but uh, if you look at it over the past year, you're not you're not hurting, okay, just because it took a little dip. And I don't think it's gonna dip any further. I think it's gonna hover for a while and probably go up. You know, don't take my advice. I'm not a financial guy, I'm just going by what my gut tells me. And uh, what else did we have before we get out of here? Um, I think that was it. Go to Wise Wolf. Uh oh, I did want to mention one last thing. If you do go sign up and you go uh get something from Tony, or you sign up for the Wolf Pack, use the code 1776. This is an interesting kind of off off-topic kind of side story. But if you use the code 1776 as a promo code, um, you're gonna get free constitutional silver. Now, I got that when I first signed up, and I've been a wolf pack member since pretty much since it started. And uh one month my card had changed, so it didn't, you know, I lapsed one month because my card didn't go through. Then I fixed it. Well, Tony sent me another constitutional silver piece when I re-signed up, and this is very interesting. It's a 1922 uh piece dollar. I'm gonna put it up, you see that or not. And I I mean, even if I if I got this as part of my normal my normal wolf pack, I'm gonna get it for melt value pretty much, you know. Um, but you can get some pretty cool stuff in there if you do get the constitutional silver. Um, because that's not just the one time he's gonna send you one if you sign up, but also uh it may come, you know, if you're spending 125 bucks and a silver round and another, you know, some gold backs and stuff ain't gonna cover it. He's gonna throw in some of this constitutional silver to make sure you're getting every single penny uh worth of something that you paid for. So you might wind up with some silver quarters, some silver dimes or a silver dollar. Uh, but I looked this one up just uh out of uh you know, poops and grins. I looked it up 1922 Peace Dollar, and I found out that one of the rarest coins in the world is a 19 as least as far as American money goes, is the 1922 high relief proof uh mat piece dollar, and it was featured on Pawn Stars. Uh, it was one of the most rarest, it says one of the most rarest and most valuable US coins ever sold on the show. This guy, I remember he went in there. I watched the episode. He went in there and tried to get 20 grand for it. He won a poker game, by the way. Uh, so he tried to get 20 grand. They called in an expert. Um, and I'm not saying, disclaimer here, I'm not saying that Tony's gonna send y'all some extremely expensive collectible, but it's worth you know checking them out. And it's kind of a fun hobby, by the way. Uh it's kind of a fun thing to do. But uh, yeah, the show aired on December 23rd, 2014, and the guy wanted 20 grand for it. They called in an expert. The expert said, you know, this is a tough one, it should go anywhere from 50 to 100,000. Um, and then of course the guy selling it haggled the price, tried to get more and more for it, and they finally, he's like, Hey, you just only wanted 20, 20 grand. I think he was gonna give them 50. Yeah, I'd have to go back and watch the episode, but I think he was gonna give them like 40 or 50 grand. And the guy says, No, he said it's 100, and they haggled, and he ended up giving them 80,000. Uh, so that's four times what he wanted originally. The coal, uh, the coin later was sold in 2015 for 99,875. So just shy of a hundred thousand dollars. Uh, it says it's only one uh sorry, five, one of five to ten. So this says there's only five or ten of these, particularly um I it's I think it's a combination of it being a high relief and maybe there's a flaw. I'm not really sure, but there's only five to ten of these. I read another report that said there was up to 12 of these. And this one, I've looked at it. Tony, if this is worth the hundred thousand, we're gonna go out to dinner, man. But I am gonna send this thing off and have it uh checked out. So, anyway, that's kind of a long spiel on my my cool coin that I keep uh on me. It's one of those fun things that if you get constitutional silver, it's kind of a hobby. It's also for kids uh to teach them about our heritage, about uh real money. So I I love I every time I get silver quarter, silver dimes, especially the Mercury dimes, that's one of the most prettiest coins I've ever seen out there. So make sure if you do do the Wolfpack thing, uh put in 1776 so you get something cool, and uh, it might have some historic significance. So, anyway, I think that's all I have. I had more stuff, but you know, an hour goes by so quick. Sage Wolf, post-constitutional says Sage Wolf. That's awesome. Um he says, love the wolf pack to uh to my should do a wolf pack do a meetup. Oh, yeah. Hey, if you go there, um the people over there are so nice. I I happen to live pretty close, about an hour and a half from Tony's shop in Branson. I know he's got the one down in Texas and Dennison. Um, I went down there before many times before, and his staff is like the top notch staff. They're so cool. Uh, and then if you're lucky enough that Tony's there, you get to meet Beans the Brave. Beans uh warmed up to me about the Second or third time. So oh, so don't make what public, Doug. Uh, I don't know what he's talking about, but anyway, let's see what else we got here in the comments. We had uh Ashley was in there, Bronx Stomper. That's Derek Ashley. So it's only a couple people over there chatting. I can't tell if you're on YouTube if you don't leave a comment uh from where I'm sitting. Uh, we had 20 people over on obviously we had eight on Twitter, 12 on um YouTube, and I don't know how many on Rumble. But uh hey, thanks for hanging out. I'll be on in a couple more weeks. Hopefully, I I won't uh we'll have a co-host and I won't have this little head cold going on. But anyway, see if there's anything else I missed. I think that's it. I think that's it. So uh thank you all for tuning in and uh come back next week. Tony will be here. And uh until then, man, stay frosty, stay free, and stay informed. End of transmission.
