Cold Open And Transmission Kickoff

SPEAKER_01 0:05

We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order. Good evening folks for listening to the hour of the time. I'm William Cooper.

SPEAKER_03 0:24

John has a long mustache. John has a long mustache. It's 12 o'clock, Americans. Another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there on a behind the line, this is your song.

SPEAKER_01 0:42

Veteran of three four wars. Entrepreneur and warrior poet. Tony Aarburn takes on the issues facing our country, civilization, and planet. This is the R Burn radio transmission.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Gotta fade out for the audio to actually there we go. See? Let it fade out. Episode five hundred and forty-six. It's the Arterburn Radio Transmission. It is the 25th of June 2026. I'm joined in studio, ladies and gentlemen. Not only Beans the Brave is here, but Melissa is also here. She's visiting Denison, and she hasn't been on the show that she does the intro for in a long time. It's been years. So I'm glad you're here. Last minute, uh I've been really busy, and the state of the world, I was talking to Melissa early this morning having coffee. I said that just everything is weird. And, you know, I I remember if you go back to um 2020 at the beginning of COVID 1984, and we just got up to Branson, like right before the lockdowns, and Trump signs the executive order uh March 13th, Friday 13th, 2020. And uh

High Strangeness And The Unveiling

SPEAKER_00 2:44

we were listening on an audiobook to Stephen King's The Stand. You know, that's from the it's actually from the late 80s. He wrote this book called The Stand. It's about they have this uh bioweapon that they call it Captain Trips because somebody trips trips over in a lab or something and something gets out of one of these bio labs in the Midwest and it just starts wiping out humanity. And there's a scene in there that I didn't, when I was a kid, I watched the movie and Gary Sinise is in it, and it's a really well-done film. But in the book, I didn't realize this. But the character who's supposed to be like the uh Antichrist archetype is a guy named Randall Flagg. And they kind of give his backstory. He like shows up in different times in history, and um, whether it's extreme left-wing groups or extreme right wing groups, and he just pushes people over the edge. That's what he does. But in the time whereas there's this great crisis or culling of humanity, they call him the walking man. And in the book, he starts talking about how he's just he's wearing cowboy boots and he's walking in the desert by himself. And then he realizes at a certain point during all this crisis and calamity that he can levitate again. And that thought stuck with me. Now we're gonna get into precious metals and markets and all that. I'll get into some political headlines, but it was this esoteric thought, strangeness and strange times, came to me because I say we're the official broadcast of the apocalypse, and the apocalypse just means the unveiling. It doesn't mean the end of time. It doesn't, it has a different meaning than Armageddon. And so in this book, and that reference always stuck with me. And I remember I was talking to an acquaintance of mine who is not a bad like practitioner of the occult, does magic and things like that, and just having a philosophical conversation. And I got into this thought of mine. I'm like, is the reason that these billionaires or the Klaus Schwabian types and all the Davos crowd is the reason they want less people, do people block out their ability to do mat like the frequency of magic that they want to do, which is a darkness? And I was talking to, and they said, I absolutely, I don't agree with it, but we shouldn't talk about this on the phone. I remember that conversation. I thought, wow, I hit on I hit on something. And so I was thinking about this today because there's the there's something shifting in the consciousness. And I I looked at the headlines of Drudge, and just to just to kind of start off the show, we're we're reaching like whatever the spell was of the like Trump era, you can see that's all like there's entropy behind that. It's the second law of thermodynamics, and everything comes to an end, like it starts to grind down. So whatever the momentum was or the inertia was of that, and it reminded me of something. Um uh was it Margina Obramovich, you know, the the uh the high priestess lady, you know, that does all the magic and the occult stuff. And she said that Trump was like the uh uh a high magician because he's an agent of chaos. And it seems to me that all of that, if that is true, or that somebody elevated him to that, that that cycle is coming apart. And you can even go to the if this isn't just regular partisan stuff, but these are headlines I never thought I would see. If you

Trump Headlines And Power Vacuum

SPEAKER_00 6:13

go to Drudge, I'll just pull it up here and then we can uh go to the actual articles. Let me put this up on the screen. Interesting times, ladies and gentlemen. Let me put this up. These are two different side articles on the headlines of Drudge. And uh the first one is even QAnon hates Trump now, which I I never I never thought I would see. I mean, it does, I'm sure in certain circles, it goes on forever, uh, infinitum in perpetuity, um, because you can't fix that at some level. But that is that's a strange headline, and we'll get in maybe get in the article. But then the next one is uh Tuck Tucker Carlson excoriates the Don. Shut up, bitch. I don't take you seriously. This is something that Tucker Carlson actually said, and you know, it's only 2026. This isn't like we're 10 years down the road. There is a vacuum of power, like that we can clearly see something stopped. And now the world, it kind of in the culmination of all the bad ideas that have outflowed uh from whatever happened, like the beginning of 25 and the chaos of that. And I remember before I went on to Tenfoil Hats, December 4th, 2024 is my second appearance on Tenfoil Hats. I was in studio, I was in California, and Bitcoin hit 100,000 for the first time. Then, of course, there's they're gonna see the new administration, and we got about an hour and a half into it, and I'll have to pull the clip up sometime. But Sam Tripoli asked me, uh, what is the second Trump administration going to look like? And I told the story about Croesus and uh, you know, he was the first uh king to coin gold. He wanted to attack Persia, all that stuff. He asked the Oracle, you know, what happens if I attack Persia, which is Iran, and uh the Oracle tells him that if you attack Persia, a great empire will fall. And so he attacks Persia and he he lost his empire. She didn't tell him which one, which I always thought was such a great story because of the Twilight Zone consequences of it all. Uh, but that's what I thought this was going to be about. So we've reached this, we really did the loss of a political empire because of attacking Iran. And that's still, we're still not out of the woods yet. The damage that's been done, and you can see it in the schizophrenia of the market. Like the market doesn't know what to do. Like commodities have been disrupted, supply chains have disrupted, been disrupted. You have the, you know, at the same time, in the periphery, you've got like AI and then uh SpaceX launch and all this stuff. So all this capital's chasing stuff, but the world is building infrastructure for the new monetary system. So that's a lot of stuff I I want to get into with what's happening, like in the in the mechanism of it, right, is being built. But

Market Whiplash And Metal Signals

SPEAKER_00 9:08

it doesn't reflect in prices, which we're going, you know, whipsaw and we'll talk a little bit about gold and silver and Bitcoin prices. Wait, I think we're pretty much at near a bottom of whatever that's going to be for now. And a lot of people are confused. Uh, I mean, I even me, and I don't expect you know headlines to to have such a uh a dualistic dichotomy, like where you you have inflation data coming out that's worse than ever, and then you see gold and silver prices plummet. I think that's just part of the process in which we're in. But all of this going back to whatever the collective unconsciousness is of humanity, like we're seeing things that in news articles and happenings that wouldn't have happened 25 years ago. And you know me for since 2000, you know, and uh we first I think we first met when we were in Kosovo together. A lot if you don't know, Melissa was a medic in the Army at the same time that I was in my first deployment, it's where I met her. And we just think about that world and everything we've experienced, everything that we've seen, and just how insane it is now. Like we don't we don't really get because we're in it, it's like if you're lifting weights every day and you you're changing, and other people can see it, but maybe you don't see it because you're just seeing yourself all the time. It's like an example, or if you're working on something, you don't really see the progress that you've made. But we're in this new timeline. And I don't know if you remember when when I started this show, this is the second iteration of my radio career. When I started this, I had this feeling that things were going to be different than they've ever been. If you remember me talking about, that's why I didn't want to have just another show. That's why I wanted to name it something different, I wanted to talk about different things, and we certainly did. And it was, you know, the I took a tagline from a Megadeth song and uh from a song called Captive Honor, and uh it talks about uh Welcome to Tomorrow. It's actually it's on it's on that album of uh Countdown to Extinction. A great, great song, but I remember that from when I was a kid, and so we're in the tomorrow land, and I'm glad you're here to join me for the show. And you sent me an article, and we can go into that about uh some new banking laws out of Georgia that I think are interesting. It's another kind of highlight, like you know, why you should be careful of keeping everything inside the banking system. You need to be outside of it, but I want to get into some of you know, just have a stream of consciousness show. I almost didn't do the show today because things have been so weird. David Knight took a day off and uh for family, and I and I told him, I said, that's great, I'll I'll see you next week. Um, but I always feel weird if I don't do the show, you know. So I always feel like I gotta put something down. And again, it's episode 546. I didn't want to just run a best of. So I'm here today with with all of you. If you've got questions, anything you want to talk about, I'm gonna review the chat. Melissa's got stuff she wants to bring up too, and um we'll jump into articles. Uh just go over the the northeast, west, and south delay of the land, and um, you know, we'll we'll exchange ideas together. I always say that the uh worldwide Christian radio and and my streaming network, or this is my support group. And uh what would you say, you know, since I rarely have guests on, would you say how much other than just talkative? Because you know I don't really talk that much, which is funny because people come to see me and in real life, and I don't say that much. But I mean I I want to communicate ideas on air. Am I much different in the 26 years or 27 years you know, am I much different on air than I am off air? What do you think?

SPEAKER_03 13:03

Tony's a quiet guy. He's very different off air. I think it surprises people that come to see you. They expect, you know, for you to be as talkative as you are on air, but otherwise you're a pretty quiet person.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

Well, I I think uh it was I think it was Abraham Lincoln that said I'd I'd rather remain silent and be thought a fool than to open my mouth and remove all doubt. You know, I think it's sometimes just better to shut up. Um but when you run a talk show, which by the way, if you if you develop the muscle and the ability to do an hour of live radio with really no safety nets, I usually just have articles or something to jump off from. If you can do if you can develop that, it's a great skill. It's not a lot of folks that can actually do it. I remember I remember when I wanted to start talk radio, the actor Alec Baldwin had tried to do talk radio. And it just was one of the some of the funniest audio you ever heard because he's used to just reading lines, you know, and you can memorize lines. It's a lot hard, you you it reminds me of like you when you start an hour of radio, it's like this black, it's just a void. You have to fill the void with ideas and hopefully they're coherent and entertain the audience. And also, for me, you have to leave having learned something. You know, did you learn anything? And that's what one of the things that I've developed over the years of just trying to bring at least one thing from the transmission that you didn't know. And uh that's why I always like to start off with a little bit of uh of high strangeness or whatever.

Weather Engineering And Godzilla El Nino

SPEAKER_00 14:33

I I'm with you folks, if you're feeling the same thing I'm feeling, it's especially like I read there's an article up on Activist Post, and again, if I can get to it, I will. But it talks about like this like Godzilla El Nino weather system that's this is Charlie Robinson's site. And uh I started reading that yesterday, and I just noticed the weather is weird. This is something like one of the things I noticed when I got back from Iraq, and this is like 2004, when I went back, came back to North Texas, and something I never noticed when I was a kid, because I don't think it existed, which was the wind was you might as well Amarillo is always known for the wind, you know, because of the panhandle and the the planes and stuff. And I mean not the planes overhead, but like the plane, you know, Texas High Plains, the Llano Esticado is what it's actually called. And the you always know an Amarillo by the wind, but it was just so windy when I got it. It was it was insane. Yeah, wind kind of drives your anxiety and other things. Like it's just it just overwhelming. And it just it's been that way. Now I think like I look outside, just all this the storms, like there'll be a massive storm and then it'll go away. You know, have rain and then it'll go away. And it's it's better, I guess it's better than drought. But there, you know, there's so much going on and things we don't talk about, and you and I have been talking about for years and years, but that kind of stuff is also and isn't it funny? Like a lot of the things that were just so fringe when you know, five, six, seven years ago, eight years ago, whenever I restarted the show, that I talk about, and you just hear crickets, and especially being on mainline radio when I restarted in San Antonio. A lot of people don't, if you don't know this, I had a daily show. Like I would follow Mark Levin on Freedom 1160 uh weeknights. So I'd get off from the shop uh in San Antonio. Me and Layla would go to the studio there at Salem, I would do the show, and a lot of times it would just be crickets. But now that's mainline stuff. Oh, yeah, weather engineering? Oh yeah. And I would talk about like Operation Popeye, and we were cloud seeding in the 20s, and you know, Lyndon Johnson signing the executive order, uh, you know, the having the treaty signed about uh banning weather modification in the 60s, you know. And that was just fringe stuff, like, oh, that's such kooky things. There's no such thing as chemtrails. And now it's just like, oh yeah, it's funny. You can be ahead of the folks, you can be ahead of the curve. You can talk about stuff way out years before it happens. And when it finally arrives and people talk about it, they go, Yeah, well, what are you talking? It's it's just common knowledge.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

Well, it's shifted. I feel like it's shifted from oh, oh, those chemtrails don't exist, and it's shifted into oh, they've always been there now because of the manipulation that's going on with the media and with old movies being, you know, what redone to include chemtrails and lines in the sky and the background and things like that.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Yeah, it's um it's interesting. We live in a time where so much is just what is the the Schopenhauering uh steps of the truth. First it's mock, then it's violently opposed, and then it's thought of as just common sense. Like, oh, did you know that's always been the case? Like just even conspiracy itself. And I think a lot of the things that I'm having trouble with in my own shows and research and other things, just being a part of alternative media, I tend to want to talk more about the monetary system and and currency, and I can help with that. Like I can actually, that's insight that I can talk about that's right there and it's real. There's not much, I mean, aside from hucksters and grifters, and there is that in the precious metals space, you generally get weeded out pretty quick. But in this space, in alternative media, it's just gotten really dumb. And I look around, like the clickbait people, and then you got the new folks that they weren't around for the systematic uh banning. If you remember August 6, 2018, thousands of sites taken down simultaneously. InfoWars, of course, being the most notable one. And all, I mean, they were like stripped from podcast channels, uh, stripped from YouTube, especially, and other high platforms. But they did that across the board. And it wasn't just right wing, you know, it was it was every group that had a it would oppose the national security state or surveillance state or just deep state power in general. So it didn't matter what your political affiliation was. And if you talked about things that were outside of the accepted norm, I think they were kind of what you would do in any sort of kinetic war where you soften up a target, they were softening up the target zone for dropping COVID-1984, in my opinion, like everything leading up to that. So I've been on the air since then. A lot of that, and this reason, you know, if you look at my YouTube of hundreds of followers, because I was like anything, anytime I played anything on YouTube, I just they would take it down. And I remember just even like associating my name with like David Knight. I'd run a David Knight show on some of my channels and it would just get taken down. So I just said, Well, I'm just gonna podcast, I'll do WWCR. I just quit worrying about clicks. Now they have all of this, like the new crop, which is fine. I'm happy for people. But some of it is real good, like genuine nuggets of wisdom, and it's then it's wrapped around just garbage. And I'm like, that didn't happen, and that's not how that works, and you know, just over-the-top stuff, and it's gotta be, in my opinion, like approved because you're just kind of whitewashing the past or getting like making real research into hidden history and other things look ridiculous. So I don't know. I'm frustrated with all of it, as you know, like just off-air. I'm very frustrated with it of as of late. And I'm like, I want to release a paratrooper I want to do other stuff. Um, but I just kind of keep going back. Well, I I can help you with knowledge of the monetary system. I know what's going on. I know what's going on with gold and silver, I know what's going on with crypto. At least that's something I can help you with. I don't know what I'm not sensational enough to do the clickbait stuff. So I don't even want to start a TikTok channel. I don't want to do, you know, it it just I've reached a a level where I can I'll I'll talk about it. Maybe we will especially this is what art is for, is what the whole transmission is for. It's just high ideals. Uh, but I just again me and you've talked about it many times. I am uh I'm reaching a point where I just don't know. I don't know what the what the space is bringing, and uh things have gotten so strange that the collective, unconscious of everything, just seems like we're in some sort of weird energy vortex. I don't know. Uh where should we go? You want me to bring up the articles on uh on QAnon and Trump or Tucker? What do you want me to do?

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Why don't we take a look at that activist post article first? Why don't we check out what Charlie's got going on and then we'll move into some of those other stuff?

SPEAKER_00 21:50

I knew you were gonna do that. Uh let's see, let's go to activist post. Where is it? It's on here somewhere. There we go. Activist Post. Yeah, Charlie Robinson, good friend of the show, good friend in real life, magnificent human being, hardworking guy. Go support him and subscribe to Activist Post. He put his own money in it. And I, in case you didn't, we're a proud sponsor over there, in case you didn't know. Yeah, but this is this is where I got this article yesterday. And uh looking at the live feed, it really is a Godzilla weather uh monster. The Godzilla El Nino that has now begun to do trillions of dollars of damage to the global economy. Again, Michael Snyder, economic collapse blog. A very intense El Nino has formed in the equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean much earlier than originally anticipated, and we're being warned that it could cause trillions of dollars of damage to the global economy. Considering everything else that is going on in our world right now, things that didn't have to happen, but things that did, right? That is really bad news. It is being projected that El Nino that has developed in the southern Pacific is likely to rapidly transform into a super El Nino of frightening strength. At the same time, a 9,000-mile marine heat wave has developed in the northern Pacific. Many people believe these two marine heat waves will combine to form a Godzilla El Nino, which will be unlike anything we have ever experienced before. Last week we received official confirmation that El Nino has officially formed in the Pacific Ocean. And so it's again the warming cycles, and I just talk about how weird the weather is already and has been for years. They're obviously doing something uh terraforming, whatever you want to label it. And it's interesting that we do talk about it, but it's a lot of it's just kind of like shrugged off. It's does there's no big congressional hearings. This isn't on a political platform yet. It will be. This is one of the things I've predicted. Eventually you will have this being discussed because it will become so apparent, it'll be so over the top, whatever's happening with the weather. And people say, well, it's climate change, you know, or um global warming or whatever. And I've always said, Well, I believe in climate change. I think climate change is real. You can look up and see that they're climb changing the climate. Like that's something that I always thought would be good at a dinner party, you know, when somebody's uh well, it also changes several times a year.

SPEAKER_03 24:43

We call it spring and fall.

SPEAKER_00 24:45

Well, yes, yeah. The weather does change, but it it has been weird. Remember, you know, all the you do uh uh off-grid gardening and all of that up on the mountain in in the Ozarks, and you remember that it wasn't like what a year or so ago. It's like everything just got scorched within a week. The the way the I guess the solar maximums or minimums or whatever it was. A lot happening there. Uh, let's go back into the article. A powerful El Nino has officially formed in the Pacific Ocean, with meteorologists warning Thursday that it is poised to reach historic strength and intensity extreme weather events across the globe. The natural warming cycle is expected to exacerbate global temperatures already elevated by fossil fuel emissions and could supercharge severe weather patterns worldwide. The phenomenon is predicted to rival or even surpass the record-setting El Nino of 1997, which caused billions in damages through heat waves, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and wildfires. Hey, do you think this is why? And I wonder, I did you see the report where Peter Thiel was like hitting the eject button of the United States? He's moving and building a compound in Argentina. You know, this is the guy that gave you Palantir, has you know contracts with intelligence networks all over the world, you know, and the Palantir's from the Lord of the Rings, so you like can see into the future or the vast distance.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

I just figured Nazis don't bomb their own people.

SPEAKER_00 26:21

Yeah, that's true. Uh the rat lines is what they call those, if you remember from uh Jim Mars's work, the uh the Fourth Reich. And so, yeah, Argentina, uh, a lot of people think that's where um Hitler spent his retirement years. Even Joseph Stalin thought that, by the way. Uh, we had FBI reports on that, and Kennedy even looked into it. Maybe reason number 600 why they shot him in the head. But uh oh, and I I don't know if I should mention it. Should I mention the thing I was possibly working on with Gareth Icke? We may be thinking about doing a JFK. Okay. Uh we'll we'll save that. Uh, I get excited about I want to say I want to do real stuff. I think I think we can come back to it. Uh the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration formally confirmed the existence of El Nino, a warming of the Pacific near the equator that profoundly afflicts affects weather patterns. He says this, uh Michael Snyder says, this wasn't supposed to happen yet. Normally El Nino start once the summer is over, but this one is developing much earlier. Well, another thing about like even when we talk about stuff like this, I don't like to just do um fear for fear's sake or just uh, you know, that's what if it bleeds, it leads. You know, I've always tried to stay away from that, you know me. But I do think that this whole s system, the construct of what we bel think of as reality and whatever keeps the glue that binds everything, is like looking for a black swan.

Tariffs As The Black Swan

SPEAKER_00 27:58

You know, so I I'm looking for a black swan. What is that black swan event? Like it 25, the beginning of the the year, we saw, especially after the inauguration, we saw this massive shift in global markets. And I it has been nuts. You know, as somebody who's followed like financial stuff, the first thing was the threat of the tariffs. And to me, that was the black swan. Like Trump had talked about tariffs, talked about manufacturing, all that stuff, but it was like souped up next level, and then it was weaponized, uh like an extension of weaponization of the dollar, which I don't think a lot of people saw coming. I started to notice, hey, you know, you guys see what's happening. And I think um both at the time, gold and silver taking a massive hit, and everybody was crypto is the future, and it probably still is. But it was the a different mindset, and David Knight and I were talking about this every week. And I go, I think there's a misreading here of what's actually going on. And as soon as I started talking, like I don't think this is exactly what you think it is, all of these uh the the world of paper, gold, and silver started to come apart. That's still, by the way, that story is still going. But it was all the the confusion about whether or not you could keep physical gold and silver bullion in these foreign banks and it wouldn't be tariffed on the way back in. Now, at the beginning of 25, that was a big deal. And then you had the blanket tariffs that he won. So to me, that was a a a black swan event because it it had this domino effect into every other part of the markets. And that's where we started to see, you know, I think gold had an all-time high like 40 times in 2025. Uh that's not normal. Like everything that was happening and this lead up and this culmination of the beginning of 26 of like all these bad ideas and all the policies and everything else, and and the whip sawing of like, oh, we're gonna have doge and we're gonna cut spending. No, we're not. You know, we're not gonna do that. It's not real. Uh, you're gonna get a tariff rebate.

SPEAKER_02 30:03

Poor Don Jeffries. Yeah, he's not getting his check.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

We we really wanted Don Jeffries to get his uh his doge check. But yeah, it was all the all of those things, so all that's abandoned. We in a short period of time relative to the human experience, we in a short amount of time, we have hit we're in a new territory. We're in the tomorrow land. So all this stuff going on, none of this holds water. Like we're building the new system for whatever reality is, and I'm not just talking finances is being built right now. And that's where my mind was this morning. I'm like, I don't even know what I'm gonna talk about. Like we go through the same articles, like, yes, inflation is the worst it's ever been. Yes, also gold went down. You know, silver's crashing, Bitcoin looks like garbage. You know, I know it's every week I hear from you like I'm Bitcoin is pissing you off. Yeah, yeah. I understand. I hear that, I hear that all the time. All right, we're about halfway through the show.

SPEAKER_03 31:04

So you I'm gonna keep buying it though.

SPEAKER_00 31:07

Keep buying it.

SPEAKER_03 31:08

I'm keeping on my daily buy of Bitcoin, $15 a day.

SPEAKER_00 31:14

Well, you you have to remember, um, I don't think not everything is uh up and to the you've known me for a long time, and I always talk about this, and I've been talking about this for some so many years, it's probably ad nauseum now. But not everything's up and to the right, whether it's life or your business or what and so these prices and all we're not factoring in just how, and I don't think the rest of the world looks at the way the world the way I do, obviously. And so I I'm looking at it like uh none of this is sustainable. The markets aren't sustainable, currencies aren't sustainable. And I'm looking at what can't be manufactured easily, or again, you know, like Bitcoin or something like that. I think all that stuff has a story yet to tell. We're we're not this isn't the end of anything, it's actually probably closer to uh the end of the beginning, something like that. All right, we're about halfway through, so let me um see what the comments are looking like.

Clickbait Culture And Deepfake Reality

SPEAKER_00 32:14

Oh, there's there's Shelly Olmstead.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

Hi, Shelly.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

Shelly's a magnificent person. One of my one of my friends now in uh California. Um let's see what's if I can get to oh I got a lot of comments and Dustin Helms in the chat over on YouTube. I guess and big lucky.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

Big lucky.

SPEAKER_00 32:39

Uh let's see. Yeah, I don't uh Melissa, I always look on my desk from stuff that you wrote me years ago. And some it always is like, remember to plug, and I never do. I don't plug my stuff, I don't plug my own my own things.

SPEAKER_03 32:55

Melissa.gold.

SPEAKER_00 32:56

Yeah, you can you can plug.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

I'm hearing it.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

Shelly Olmstead said, uh a good Alec Baldwin tried a radio show. Yes, he did, and it's one of the funniest things you can ever hear. All I can imagine is his SNL sweaty ball skit. But that's really good. That's funny. Alec Baldwin's funny. I mean 30 Rock was funny. His his favorite performance that I love was um uh The Edge with uh Anthony Hopkins when he plays like a well, I don't want to if you ever want to watch the movie, you I think you've seen it, but it's one of my favorite movies I watched in theaters when I was a kid, and he plays a photographer and um just a weird guy, but it it it's a good film. One of his best. Uh let's see. Uh Dustin Helms says it's a very frustrating frustrating time. Frustrating time for intellectuals.

SPEAKER_03 34:01

Big lucky says, love from Green Bay. I love Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_00 34:09

I haven't been in a while. Sorry, I had something in my throat, but I think it's just either uh tobacco or coffee or something.

SPEAKER_03 34:19

Dry air.

SPEAKER_00 34:20

Dry air, you know. Let's see. Well appreciate everybody in the chat. All right. Let's uh let's see what's on Rumble. Birdhouse Blue says, Hi Melissa.

SPEAKER_03 34:37

Hi, Birdhouse Blues. There's Jason.

SPEAKER_00 34:40

Jason Barker, supply versus demand cannot be denied. The prices are being manipulated, so get it while it's cheap. Hey, you're my man. You understand what's going on. It makes my job harder because I'm talking about, you know, this is what should be and what will be. And people were like, yeah, but Tony, have you seen the prices? I understand.

SPEAKER_03 35:01

Does Jason have a dot gold? You should send him the business his way.

SPEAKER_00 35:05

I believe so. If he does, if you don't have one, he's such a great supporter.

SPEAKER_03 35:09

It's uh he's done so much in the background for this show, too, and for Tony.

SPEAKER_00 35:13

Oh, absolutely. Jason Barker, uh, great man. Appreciate all his help. Uh, I don't think of the people in the background enough. I don't think enough people. And I I don't take you for granted. I literally just run out of bandwidth. Birdhouse Blue says, Excellent observations today, Tony. You're saying everything we're thinking too. Well, I appreciate that. Uh let's see. Uh oh, lots of lots of uh activity over on the rumble chat, and I've neglect the rumble chat too.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

Oh, Jason asked how the homestead's going. It's going good. It's going good. I got a huge garden this year. Having problems with black rot on my grapes. So that's something I'm gonna have to learn about and figure out how to fix. But I've got um cherry trees, plum trees, pear trees. You know, we had a very warm winter, and then right as everything started to bloom so that I could get some fruit this year, we had a we had a really harsh freeze, and I will have no fruit this year. No peaches, nothing.

SPEAKER_00 36:27

Yeah, what do you think? It's just the the cycles aren't the same as as far as the weather.

SPEAKER_03 36:35

I would definitely agree with that. I remember you were talking about the wind earlier. I mean, I I grew up in Topeka, Kansas until the seventh grade. Um I just remember, you know, played outside all the time. I'm really sensitive to the wind because it's really stimulating. Like you said, it's highly stimulating. I know um on a spiritual level, you know, welcome the wind to blow in change in your life and everything like that, pray with it. And um, but I just remember it was a significant thing when it would be really windy when you're a little kid, you know, you could lean into it, it would hold you up. Now it's like that all the time.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

Yeah. It it is something different. And I've seen um some of the people are not jobs online, and some of them have great insights. So you have to. This is the thing about the internet in the age when you don't know exactly who's manufactured, who's not. You know, what's are you a real person? One of the things I I was I had this dream last night, is right before I went to sleep. And I if you do you remember when I was on with Owen Schreuer in studio for the first time, and I think you were there, and um, we're at the InfoWars studio. This is back in like May of 2019 or something. And we got about two hours in, and Owen's such a great guy. We're having fun off air, and I'd never been actually in the studio, I'd just been a guest. And he he said, I'm gonna ask you something when we come back from the break, because you said you can take anything from history and compare it to what's happening today. And I said, I said, Well, uh, it's a bold claim. I'll see what I can do. I'm pretty sure I can. And we came back from the break and he said, Okay, uh, since you can compare anything to history that happened, um, I'll give you a scenario and then you tell me uh what that's like in history. And I said, Okay. And he goes, he just looks into the mic and he goes, deep fake porn. And I just immediately thought, well, this is about manipulation. It's about, you know, and I just went into like the story of how the the Rothschilds had an agent that uh went back and sold started selling stocks at the battle of after the Battle of Waterloo because they had intelligence agents there. That's the first thing I thought of, like one of the biggest manipulations in history. So I, you know, I just thought about that. But then I thought, as I was falling asleep last night, I thought, why didn't I what's this? This is the stuff that um how my mind works. It's insane. Like I'm just thinking of stuff that I was talking about on air, you know, seven years ago. And uh I thought, I should have just said, uh, well, uh, Obama was a deep fake president. You know, like he was the complete construct. Like, and we don't even know who this guy is still. I mean, it's so fun. Like, that's that's what I should have said. In my dream, I was talking to Owen again.

SPEAKER_03 39:23

Well, he was a beloved public servant in Illinois.

SPEAKER_00 39:27

I mean, but this you get into the whole Bill Ayers thing and like the his family's ties to intelligence, like and the fact that he came out of nowhere, you know. And I was even talking to Gar Goldsmith on his show the other day. We were talking about um the actress, I think it was Jerry Ryan. She was married to the guy who was gonna be this next senator in Illinois, but like they had a divorce. There's like this scandal they had about she wanted to go to swingers clubs or something. And that like brought that guy down. And the guy that filled the void was Barack Obama. Like, you might not have heard of him. You know, it was interesting. So anyway, I I had that. This is this how my brain works, folks. I hope you enjoy the chaos of my brain. Sometimes you can learn something everyone every once in a while. Um that's the one of the only times I'm actually gonna talk this week, probably. Um, okay, what do you want to go

Georgia Law That Freezes Accounts

SPEAKER_00 40:18

into?

SPEAKER_03 40:18

Um let's talk about that.

SPEAKER_00 40:21

Yeah, Melissa sent me uh an article on banking and uh from the US Sun? Yeah, it's from the US Sun. Um it's it's legit. Let me put it up. Hold on a second. This is another reason that I'll be talking about you know, the the banking system itself, and I never tell people like, close your bank accounts, don't have a bank. I I mean I have I couldn't operate my business without banks, like I I need them, but um especially, and I tell you what I'm gonna do, folks, like when we're off air, I'm gonna start because of the dip in the gold and silver prices. If I've got any extra cash, it's going into gold. It's I got plenty of silver right now, so it's gonna go into gold. And the reason is because I can hold that in my hand, I can put that in a safe, I can store it away. And whether prices go sideways or up or down, it doesn't matter. I've locked in that piece that I own forever, or as well, for as long as I uh I'm alive. And um, it's one of the things that to me just gives me a a lot of peace of mind because I can use that anywhere in the world. Spot is spot. You know, I don't whether you're in Boston or Bangladesh, you know, uh whether you're in uh San Antonio or uh Siberia, it doesn't matter. Okay, this is the article up on the on the sun. Let's see. Uh fund freeze. Banks can automatically freeze accounts under new July 1st. Good faith law. I love I love the language, and can access can be denied up to 30 days. Well, I've had this happen too with like crypto. I remember the Bank of America once, because we deposited uh some money orders from our own account uh when I ran a convenience store. They held my deposit account for six weeks. It was $30,000 in there, and I had to go borrow money to pay the bills of the convenience store I ran. And they just held it and they just froze it, and there's nothing you can do about it. Uh that's how fragile that system is. A bill allowing banks to freeze accounts for up to 30 days has been signed into law in one state. The legislation was proposed due to an increase in bank fraud impacting one specific demographic. And this time it's not the children. Uh you always hear that for the sake of the children, you know. And I'm like, yeah, you don't care about kids.

SPEAKER_03 42:52

No, it's our other vulnerable population, vulnerable population, uh, the elderly people. This is just unbelievable to me.

SPEAKER_00 43:00

Yeah, Georgia governor Brian Kemp signed a number of bills into law on Monday covering everything from school zone speed enforcement and policies for electronics at school to human trafficking. One of the signed bills, which HB 945, which covers financial fraud protection for senior citizens, as well as tightening cryptocurrency regulations. The new law allows banks and credit unions to temporarily delay transactions where there is reasonable suspicion of financial exploitation. Holds may be put on transactions involving an account held by an eligible adult on which an eligible adult is a beneficiary or an account of a person suspected of or perpetuating the exploitation. Well, is it just me or is that I I'm all for banks policing, and they already do this, by the way. This is called um an SAR. So, like, say you're a bank and you don't you see something weird, you file a Suspicious activity report. A lot of banks already have this in place. We had customers, we had a customer this last week that was buying gold from us out of New Jersey, and Chase Bank wouldn't wire the funds to us. Even though they looked us up, we're legit and everything else, they wouldn't wire the funds. And it took them like three days to finally get a wire approval for his own money. They're like, we've never heard of Wise Wolf. And only one other other customer has ever wired from Chase. And I'm like, well, we don't do a lot of wires. We do wires out, or we have a free system where you can use our portal, you know, for your ACH, which is not a wire, but it's doesn't at least not have to charge you a fee. So maybe there isn't one. You know, another we get a significant amount, but maybe there isn't one from Chase. But they held it for three days. It's your own money. Let's see. A hold is placed. The bank or financial institution must notify all parties authorized to access the account to any quote trusted contact on the account in writing within three business days. So they'll notify you. If the institution reasonably believes someone with access to the account may be involved in the suspected exploitation, they do not need to be notified of the freeze. The bank or credit union must also investigate the facts and circumstances that led to the hold. Well, this is uh I think one of those things I call a signpost on the road ahead. Like, you know, to me, I like local banks. I think the the banks that are too big to fail and too big to jail, I don't have accounts with those folks. Uh but the stress, if you see like what happened after Silicon Valley Bank and the FTX thing and what they did after that, like there was a systemic pressure put on regional banks. And I think they'll do it. That's the first place you'll see the stress test for the banking system. The big ones don't really worry about it. And that's why they don't even really lend money. They don't have to. They they had they operated on a completely different system and guidelines. And so it's funny, yes, I did like a thought experiment with Chat GPT, and I'm like, well, could could Wise Wolf be a bank? You know, could I do a state bank charter? Because when I was a kid, my dad chartered a bank as a national bank. Um, back before Texas banking changed, and it was like, well, this is what you would need. And it's we can't do it. But it would be nice to be able to have a, you know, I can do a depository, I can do stuff like that, you know, for to help house people's, you know, medals and things, but um that's gonna not gonna be something we're actually able to do. The regulation is so over the top, like we wouldn't be able to pull it off.

SPEAKER_03 46:51

Uh but I was even thinking that I warned you about talking to the clankers, Tony. And all they do is search the internet for answers. They don't always get it right.

SPEAKER_00 47:01

I agree with you. I agree with you. We're not we're we're doing our own answers right now. We're not we're not using this is we're not AI generated, folks, I promise. All right. Well, I'm glad you brought this to my attention. I think uh this is one of those things you have to be, and there is a lot of fraud. I mean, to be comp to be I know this. I've seen people, especially being in the crypto business as long as I've been in, I've seen people and and and done my best to stop people. Um I'm we used to have Bitcoin ATMs, and and in that space, there is not on the the the ATM's uh radar, like they're not doing it, but people will use fear tactics. I've seen that happen before. I remember uh a gal came in and when I was in San Antonio, and um she just feed them fun like $100 bills in the machine. I said, Is everything okay? She didn't want to talk to me. And turns out she was being told to put like send a Bitcoin transaction. So a lot of stuff is is on uh you know the person. And it's sad, you know, people will do that in Bitcoin, unfortunately, because it's irreversible that it's been used that way. It's a small fraction of a fraction of actually what actually goes on. We don't it my new system when I do Bitcoin, like we don't allow that to happen. Like there's never going to be through Wisewolf, like you're never gonna have an actual like fraud is never gonna happen through us because every transaction we monitor even where the wallet is. Like it doesn't happen. But that does happen. And a lot of people that, especially elderly, that they do target them. So the you know, fraud is it does take place. Um, but I think it'll be just harder and harder to bank in the future. I think it'll, you know, less and less security of what's actually in it, and you know, regardless of FDIC covering or anything like that, that's why I think uh Bitcoin offers uh a great technology for people, electronic off the grid, like have your own wallet, be your own bank, and of course uh gold and silver as well. So something to be on the lookout for, folks.

Who To Trust In Alternative Media

SPEAKER_00 49:10

What else? We got about uh 12 minutes. You want do you have anything else you want to cover?

SPEAKER_03 49:15

Oh do you want to go into the Tucker Carlson thing, or is what you said earlier enough on the I don't know what to make of Tucker, so well I think in in the realm of alternative media, uh he's he's finally here.

SPEAKER_00 49:37

Like he's uh you know, for a long time he was uh vehemently opposed to any 9-11 truth. Uh he's certainly not there now. Uh he's reversed all of those stances. Uh I know his dad had you know ties to the CIA and all that stuff for the Radio Free America and all that stuff. Um I I look at it as a positive. I think the the perfect is the enemy of the good in a lot of ways. I I give people the benefit of the doubt. Um and if you are plugged in, especially people that have followed him from Fox News, he's opened the the doorway for them to look further into things. I mean, just you know, uh he had conversations recently like people need to stop paying. Don't pay the banks your don't pay your credit cards.

SPEAKER_03 50:28

Don't pay I certainly love what he's saying. But uh it just I just wonder if I'm being manipulated.

SPEAKER_00 50:35

Well, it's uh you have to be vigilant, and I certainly don't get behind like a cult of personality with people. And um, through my own experience, just being in media for as long as I've been. And I've I've you know get to sit down with people like David Ike, you know, um and the Ike family, like that's like an extraordinary uh opportunity that I loved. And everyone that I've met has been uh genuine, like people like David Knight, you know, um, and even working with with InfoWars and stuff. I mean, I never was an actual employee, I was a fill-in host and a guest, but you know, um I Alex certainly, you know, Alex Jones trusted me to to be a host for as long as he did. And I don't have anything, you know, um, I mean I don't certainly agree with Alex or anything on a bunch of stuff that he was doing during that time with with Trump. I'm certainly disagreed by what I why I wasn't back on. Um, but I have nothing bad to say. I mean, it's his network. Um, so everything I've done, I mean, I've been through this, like whatever this experience when alternative media or conspiracy research, I've I've been part of that and some really genuine people like like Charlie Robinson and Don Jeffries and Billy Ray Valentine and um you know uh Sam Tripoli, you know, just uh it's it's an adventure. Um so you know, I I don't know. I'm sure I'll keep doing this show um in perpetuity. I have no plans of of stopping art anytime soon. I think it's uh when we're firing on all cylinders, it's a good show. Um and you can learn something, and it's it's it's a wrap-up or a kind of a snapshot of what's happening in that week so that archive I can always go back to. Something there for legacy. And hopefully I'm right. Um well, actually, hopefully I'm wrong about a lot of stuff, but uh hopefully I'm I'm picking up on something that's relevant, you know, something to look at. And and uh that's always been my hope. You know, like I don't I'm not here to change your mind, I'm here to ask questions and have a conversation and and talk about the big ideas. That's what I've always been attracted to. Like I can never go back to um, I mean, I tried if you want to call it that, I tried politics. And uh I can't imagine that. I it's funny. I try to do I keep myself from like I try to continue to burn bridges so I can never get back, like on a subconscious level. I'm like, you know what would really help you not be able to ever run for office? You should get a hand tattoo. So I'm like, yeah, I should do that. And so I will I do stuff like that. Like, you should just look a little sketchy. And I'm like, just just in case you ever want to throw money away again. Um, just you know, burning those mental bridges uh to keep myself from doing. But I think um, you know, I've uh as I meditated lately and just think, well, what's the next step in this crazy time? I'm gonna do more and more, you know, it's something I've learned doing shows with David Knight. And because he that experience every week, like it's not every week that I'm on with David. I try to to go on on Thursdays with him. And um if you've never been on with David, he's so smart. Uh he his wealth of knowledge, uh, and you rarely meet people like that. Uh and he's just as genuine in person. Like he's the he's the real deal. And uh, I mean, it was hard to fill in for him, like when I filled in for him. Like it takes a certain amount, like it will, it took a lot out of me. I remember like when I remember that week when I filled in for the comp like the whole week down in Austin in 2020. I'd wake up at at 5 a.m. I'd go into the studio, I'd get there like you know, 5:30, and the show would go live at 8, and then we'd be off the air at 11 because Alex would come on. And I remember that when I was done that Friday, I mean, it just it just wiped me. You know, it was a three-hour show. And just filling in for him and coming on with him during the like it's a challenging thing. And what I've noticed is I just keep going further and further, talking about uh monetary issues, which is I think it's more my calling. You know, we can go into the the high strangeness and stuff. And I'd like to do that with um with with Mr. Anderson, you know, with Duke. I like to to go on and and and do that show with Paratrouther. And it it's just more and more though, I just see that is that's probably more the future. But I want to keep art. Like I just think this is a and for all the audience that sticks around, I know how many people, you know, we get listeners from all over the world. Like if you actually look, uh, not well, especially WWCR. I don't know. That's that's 100,000 watts of shortwave that goes around the globe. I actually took over on WWCR, which was uh Bill Cooper's home station, uh, you know, Behold a Pale Horse. And I took over the slot that Alex Jones had. So Alex had this time slot. So we're broadcasting on the frequency of what InfoWars used to broadcast on before you know the lawsuit and all the stuff that he went through um in the last few years. So I actually took that Thursday slot. So we talked to a lot of people, but the downloads, you know, it's it's an eclectic mix. My uh my support group and people in Europe, Africa, South America. Um, I'm still waiting for a ping on An Antarctica. I haven't I haven't gotten that one yet. I'm waiting for the ping. Whoever's living inside the pyramid uh in New Schwabenland uh needs to needs to download the show.

SPEAKER_03 56:07

Well, after spending a week in Texas, I might head to Antarctica next for a little cooler weather.

SPEAKER_00 56:13

Yeah, she's she's been in Texas and uh we've loved having you here. Uh did you and you what'd you think of what'd you think of Pumpkin the Cat?

SPEAKER_03 56:22

Oh, what a beautiful girl. I love her. I got a uh a black cat sticker with bat wings over at Main Street Mall.

unknown 56:29

Good.

SPEAKER_03 56:30

I'm gonna give that to Houston.

SPEAKER_00 56:33

Yeah, for those of you who don't know, I I have uh a black cat who wandered into uh my house right before I moved. We had a little house uh near downtown in uh Houston had the door open. This is uh in October of like right before Halloween. And this black cat just comes in, gets on Houston's lap, and completely ignores my my dogs and my Chihuahua, you know, beans. Uh she um she likes to tell cats to get away. Like that's her specialty. Uh I'm not gonna say who trained her to do that. Somebody trained it was an accident. It was about feral cats on the porch in San Antonio. Anyway, uh Beans didn't quite know what to do with pumpkin, and pumpkin looked completely serene, but obviously it's like a you know, she was feral or stray or something. She had her ear, has a little ear clipped, so she'd been, you know, they did the catch and release for her to be spayed.

SPEAKER_03 57:29

I don't think she's feral, but definitely stray who had been around people. She's real sweet.

SPEAKER_00 57:36

And I just said, Well, uh, she was so comfortable. I just I don't like think I can turn you out, so you're gonna go live at the bank. And so Pumpkin now went from the streets to living in Wise Wolf, and I I don't think she ever she doesn't try to run away, she just hangs out at the bank.

SPEAKER_03 57:52

So she opened the door and she stays right there.

SPEAKER_00 57:55

I'm glad I'm glad you got to meet Pumpkin.

SPEAKER_03 57:58

Just watch out when you walk in. She's right there.

SPEAKER_00 58:02

All right, folks. Well, um, a couple minutes left, and I I will go ahead and and plug a little

Plugs Support And Final Takeaways

SPEAKER_00 58:09

bit. Uh obviously next week we'll we'll be back with a a regular show. Uh I didn't want to leave you with the best of today, and so hopefully you enjoyed the just a little bit of the chaos and the back and forth with uh Melissa and I. I'm glad that you're able to come on. It's always a treat. Um the uh the intro, that is Melissa, and I have neglected to put on you know some of the uh the other intros and outros that you did back in San Antonio. Some of them are just great. I remember um we had one with the A team. The thing is that we uh when I play these, uh I the problem is is the copyright. We used to be on it on the radio, so I could pretty much do whatever I wanted as long as it wasn't over 60 seconds. So a lot of my intros and outros were really cool. And we have one that you did was I think it's my favorite, um, where you you quote Leon Trotsky. And I had you like, I remember when we did all the recordings, I was like, uh you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you. And that's what we used to start the the show off with. But uh anyway, great, great to have you here, and thank you for that. And we'll keep uh every time you listen to the intro. That is Melissa, and we need to do a new one. I think it's I think it's time for the I like the archive. Maybe we keep some of the old stuff, but I think we need to do a new one. There's there's a lot of the world is a little different. Maybe we can recalibrate for that. So we we shall see. But uh uh Artiburn.gold is the website if you want to get in touch with me. Ideas for shows. I don't think anybody's left a review, but if you want to leave a review on Apple Podcasts for either Paratrouther or the Artiburn Radio Transmission, uh if you leave a five-star, you can say anything you want. I'll read it on air. It helps the algorithm. Uh YouTube at Tony Artiburn, X at Tony Artiburn, if you're listening to the transmission on shortwave, if you want to see the video, Rumble, the America Unplugged channel. And of course, uh, if you want to exit the fiat system and the Luciferian bankster notes, you want to get yourself out of that system. Even by the way, the prices, this is when you buy, folks. Uh, if somebody discounts a Ferrari, you don't think, well, it's not a good time to buy because I want to wait for the prices to go up on that Ferrari. You buy the Ferrari. If you're looking for that, you buy it when it's cheaper. That's the same thing with uh gold and silver. So uh wisewolf.gold, and you can find the link there to my other company, which is Wolfpack subscription services. You don't have to be wealthy to get into gold and silver. You just you can look at one-time packages or subscriptions, uh $50, as low as $50 for adults, and then you've got uh for the kids, even if you, you know, if the kid in you wants to get a wolf cup, I'm cool with that. It's $35 for the Wolf Cup. Uh so as little as is $50 or $35, and you can get into the, as Sam Tripoli says, the precious metals game. We appreciate him. All right. Uh we'll be back next week, folks. You guys take care of each other.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:07

Thanks for having me.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:08

Anytime. End of transmission.
