0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:31Good evening, everyone.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
0:37I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner contingent right across
0:41from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby, and in the screening room produced extraordinary,
0:48often imitated, but never duplicated.
0:51The real J. Mac ladies and gentlemen, he is ready to rock and roll.
0:55we have our intern for the summer, whether you're near or far, never be afraid of double
1:02Rs, read, read it, ladies and gentlemen.
1:03And he is in studio with us as, well, we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition
1:08of the program.
1:10I want to say from the beginning of this show, this is definitely going to be one that you're
1:13going to want to share.
1:14I pray it's informative and instruct, and instructional and encouraging for all of you as it is,
1:23as I'm hoping and praying and knowing
1:25that it will be for myself.
1:27I believe it's a timely conversation
1:29that needs to transpire.
1:30But before we get into that,
1:32I want to remind you as I usually do at this very moment,
1:36many of you, if not most of you are making your transition
1:38from your part-time jobs,
1:40will you generate an income?
1:42Mm, income generation.
1:45I'm gonna talk a little bit today
1:46about not only generating it, but protecting it.
1:48Oh my goodness.
1:50Transitioning to your full-time jobs
1:52you cultivate an outcome.
1:55Outcome cultivation is the trade of all Christ followers.
1:59Every believer is called to execute the Kings Commission.
2:03We all have various roles to play in the body of Christ.
2:07First Corinthians 12 talks about there being one body comprised of many, many, many members.
2:13There's no need for us to try to duplicate or replicate with a nut what another members
2:18do.
2:19to celebrate the other members as we are engaged and what God calls us to, but make no mistake
2:23about it. Every believer is called to ministry. Every believer is called to be a proponent
2:29and execute tour of our Lord's commission. In fact, the purpose of the church has laid
2:33out any Ephesians 4 is to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Contrary to popular
2:40practice, the gathering of the believers corporately is just that a gathering of believers. It
2:45is so sad to see over and over and over again people working and even, you know, purported,
2:53you know, worship leaders saying we need to do more to accommodate the unbeliever. We
2:56need to do more to accommodate the unbelievers. Like, don't you understand that's not what
2:59the church is for? The unbelievers not excluded from gathering with the saints, but the tone
3:05and tenor and thrust of the corporate gathering is not for the unbeliever. It's for the believer.
3:12sharpening and equipping for the believer. The bulk of the gospel proclamation ministry
3:19and evangelistic engagement is supposed to transpire outside of the corporate gathering of the saints.
3:27But that being said, as you're making your transition, I want to remind you to do so with
3:30intentionality, recognizing the primacy that God places on family, understanding that among the
3:36institutions, the human institutions that God established, yes, God established civil government.
3:41Yes, God established the church, but the first human institution that God established was the family
3:47with marriage at the center. We will never be able to outpace, outvote, out politic, or even out
3:54church deficiencies that abound in the home. If we would welcome the Lord to turn our attentions,
4:01each of us to our homes and work outwardly from there, we could see our nation transform because
4:09Corporate transformation is available as individuals are transformed.
4:14So as you are making your way from your part time jobs to your full time jobs,
4:17just want to remind you what goes on in your house.
4:20It's far more important than what goes on in the White House.
4:24The things happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, those things are very important,
4:28but they are not more important nor do they supplant what you and I are responsible
4:34for and call to in our homes as you're making your transition.
4:40Understand not what you have to do, but what you get to do.
4:43You get to be a part of the execution of God's commission and the,
4:48the expansion of his kingdom working straight and directly from your homes.
4:55Take full advantage of that opportunity to the word of God.
4:58We go Ephesians chapter six, Ephesians chapter six,
5:01verses 10 through 12.
5:04This is the Apostle Paul wrapping up his epistle
5:08to the saints of God and Ephesus.
5:11A real city in the Southwestern portion of modern day Turkey.
5:15And the Apostle Paul says this,
5:17and I'm bringing this to your attention
5:19because I wanna remind you of this in the scripture
5:22as all of these things are unfolding.
5:25All of a sudden you see, hmm, protests in Los Angeles,
5:31Los Angeles.
5:32And I'll just say it plainly.
5:33The US Constitution protects the right of American citizens
5:38to peaceably assemble.
5:41The moment you start assaulting people,
5:43damaging people's property, looting stores,
5:45rioting, attacking police officers,
5:48you have exited the constitutionally protected terrain
5:53of a peaceable assembly,
5:55and you have entered the realm of criminality.
5:58All right?
6:00Criminality is not a first amendment protected exercise.
6:05And frankly, I'm sick of these people trying to say,
6:06oh, this is just a protest.
6:08No, you're lying and trying to condition your audience
6:11to treat criminality as if it's something that it is not.
6:14There is no constitutional right to burn buildings down,
6:18to bust police officers upside to head with bricks and rocks,
6:23to burn people's property, to loot someone else's doors.
6:26That's not a constitutionally protected exercise.
6:29So all of these people talking about,
6:31oh, this is an authoritarian crackdown on freedom,
6:35the constitutional freedoms, that's just a flat lie.
6:37There's never been a constitutional protected right
6:39to criminality.
6:41To the word of God we go, Ephesians chapter six,
6:44verses 10 through 12, Ephesians six, verses 10 through 12.
6:51And this is what the scripture says,
6:52finally, finally, be strong in the Lord
6:57and in the strength or in the power of his might,
7:01put on the full armor of God so that you
7:04will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
7:08For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
7:12but against the rulers, against the powers,
7:19against the world forces of this darkness,
7:22against the spiritual forces of wickedness
7:26in the heavenly places.
7:28The next verse then begins, therefore,
7:30take up the full armor of God.
7:32I wanted to direct your attention to the scripture
7:34as a reminder.
7:37It's very easy to allow our attention
7:40to be focused exclusively on what I'll describe
7:44as the human instrumentalities of spiritual wickedness.
7:48But I want, I do not want you to fail to recognize
7:51that much of what is transpiring is spiritual at the root.
7:56All right, there's lots of conversations and things
7:59and we've seen this before.
8:01We've seen, you know, the Antifa Black Lives Matter riots,
8:07right?
8:08You know the occupy Wall Street phenomenon we've seen you know and T for doing anything
8:13We've seen you know the the no-go zones established in the Pacific Northwest right? We've seen these things happening now
8:20I want you to understand that this is not merely natural phenomenon that we're experiencing and
8:27We are right to address the spiritual phenomenon. I'm sorry that the natural phenomenon, but not to do so at the ignorance
8:34Or rejection of the fact that this is spiritual at the root guys
8:39Now, let's just talk plainly about some things, right?
8:43When you have pallets of concrete being dropped off at specific locations, when you have what
8:52is clearly organized and funded activities transpiring, you're not witnessing organic
9:02grass roots, people objecting to certain activities because if there were, let me just give you
9:07a plain example for it.
9:09You see all the consternation?
9:10who can believe President Trump is sending National Guardsmen into LA.
9:15You know who sent the National Guard to the Southern border in 2010?
9:18Barack Hussein Obama.
9:20Do you remember any 60-minute reports?
9:23Ooh, you do you remember any hand-ringing?
9:26No, you don't remember it because the media hardly even talked about it.
9:29You might have had a report mentioned here and there.
9:33Nobody said a word.
9:34We know statistically that Barack Obama deported more illegal aliens than any other
9:39the president in American history. That's just a fact. It's just a fact. But why is this
9:45happening now? I'll just tell you very plainly because the spirit of the age has found willing
9:54compadres to do their level best to engage in such a manner toward their objection is not
10:03merely to the deportation of illegal aliens. There is a concerted effort just like the BLM
10:08writers which I told you the Black Lives Matter organization was a wicked Marxist organization.
10:13They had nothing to do with black people in America,
10:15had no concern about black people in America,
10:17which is why they only said a word
10:19when you had a particular, you know, ethnicity,
10:22skin color based narrative that could be used
10:25to pluck at the heartstrings of the American citizens.
10:27But you never saw a black glass mat of show up
10:28in the desire project in the world
10:30as you had a two year old gun down
10:31because you got a thugged dealers killing each other.
10:34You never saw that.
10:35No, why?
10:36Because it was a Marxist front.
10:39It was a Marxist organization, excuse me,
10:41using the ethnic tension based on America's history
10:45to advance a March's objective.
10:47And the exact same thing is happening now.
10:50This is why when we did the program, remember,
10:52we showed you that these pagan lesbian Marxists admitted
10:58we are trained Marxists and I did the show,
11:00and then I'll only train the Marxism
11:01they're trained to something else.
11:03Then we did the program showing you from their own website,
11:06their objectives.
11:07They said when we gather, we gather to loosen
11:09the tight grip of heteronormative thinking.
11:12How many people do you think who showed up
11:14at Black Lives Matter rallies realized when they showed up,
11:18they were showing up to loosen the tight grip
11:19of heteronormative thinking?
11:22Of course they didn't know that.
11:25Just like a lot of these people now,
11:26you got Manner Street interviews,
11:28if you were talking about their eyes deportation.
11:30No, these people are saying we hate capitalism.
11:33You got people to go out and say,
11:34no, we're here because we hate capitalism
11:36and we wanna usher in a new system.
11:39What is that I have to do with ice?
11:41Nothing.
11:42I just happens to be the front line, the headline circumstance that allows them to advocate for
11:49the very thing they wanted to advocate for before Trump was reelected.
11:55And the reason why I'm presenting this to you primarily, because one of the things that
12:01the scripture talks about is not being conformed to the ways of this world, Romans 12, but
12:05to be transformed by the renewal of our minds.
12:08And as a result of our minds being renewed, our discernment is sharpened.
12:15The simple reality, these are facts, trust but verify.
12:19The entire scenario in LA began with ICE working with local law enforcement to detain
12:28known criminals.
12:30It was an initiative that began with search warrants being promulgated for people that
12:35were hiding out and entrenching themselves within the Los Angeles community that had
12:41probable cause established that they were purported child sexual abusers.
12:48Those who had allegedly committed sexual assault, who had committed murders,
12:52all kinds of heinous criminal activity that they were seeking to arrest these
12:57people. Of course, in the process of detaining these people,
13:02I some talking about to begin deportation, proceed, proceed with them.
13:05Many of them who had already in previously been, been deported.
13:08If there were other illegal aliens who happened to be around him at the exact same time, then they would have been detained and deportation proceedings started for them as well.
13:16Well, word of that began to leak out some kind of way, and local politicians on the grounds began to leak it as if it was a free-for-all ISIS just trying to detain and deport everybody.
13:30That was the beginning of this.
13:32So you literally have a movement called a protest movement that really is nothing other than
13:37the obstruction of justice, which is a federal crime.
13:40I want everybody to understand this.
13:41When you have a lawful order to search and arrest, and you have people who are saying,
13:48well, we are going to interrupt federal law enforcement officers capacity to execute their
13:54jobs.
13:55In order to get arrest warrants and search warrants, you have parties who have had to
13:59make a prop of cause presentation and courts of law.
14:03When you had people who would interrupt and obstruct those proceedings, that is an additional
14:08federal crime.
14:12The Constitution protects the right to peaceably assemble, not to commit criminal actions.
14:20And so my simple pointing saying this is I want you to understand and to recognize that
14:25we should not only assess when you see rocks being thrown at glass houses, you got to recognize
14:30who is the rock thrower.
14:32Who is the rock thrower?
14:34And the ultimate agent of chaos and confusion is not merely human, it's Satan himself.
14:42And that chaos and confusion happens on physical fronts, that chaos and confusion happens with
14:47the rampant and ubiquitous ignorance that we have concerning economics in our nation.
14:52And the simple reality is that we are at war, whether we recognize it or not, is high time
14:57that we recognize it.
14:58And in the spiritual war I'm talking about primarily.
15:02A discipleship Minute with Joseph Parker.
15:05Psalm 23 beginning at verse 1.
15:08The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
15:12He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
15:16He leads me beside the still waters he restores my soul.
15:22He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
15:26Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
15:29I will fear no evil for you are with me.
15:33You're riding your staff, they comfort me.
15:36You prepare a table before me
15:38in the presence of my enemies.
15:41You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over.
15:45Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
15:48all the days of my life.
15:51And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
15:55All of Psalm 23.
16:06Shining light into the darkness,
16:08this is the Hamilton Quarter, an American family radio.
16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham,
16:13Hamilton the third here.
16:14And I just, in the first segment, guys,
16:16just wanted to remind you that simply put
16:18spiritual warfare is real.
16:20You know, I know it makes some people uncomfortable.
16:23And I reminded you in the past,
16:25but the whole accountant scripture,
16:27where you have the whole Amnon Tamar scenario,
16:30many people fail to remember who was the one
16:32that came up with the whole scheme in the first place.
16:36A guy named Jonah Dab.
16:38A lot of people remember Amnon and Tamar,
16:39but they don't remember Jonah Dab.
16:40And I just wanted to remind you that what we're witnessing, you know, on this, this chaotic
16:48front in LA, it's, it's, you have people funding this, man.
16:52This is not an organic protest movement.
16:54These are people who are committed to trying to execute Gramcy's vision of severing the
16:59root of our society in order to usher in an entirely different form of nation.
17:06Really, that, that really is what's going on.
17:08And you have, obviously, people who may be ignorant in participating in these things.
17:11I don't know what the genesis is, no the subjective is,
17:14but make no mistake that this is very similar to like,
17:16we talked about the Wicked, you know, Antifa, BLM,
17:20pagan markets, Marxist movement, these people,
17:22if you were from the block like I am,
17:23you could see these people saying, man, they don't have,
17:25they don't have any relationship
17:27to what's going on on the streets.
17:31How good you have any notion of wanting to do something
17:34for, you know, black people in America
17:35and you have no concern for the nuclear family?
17:39Anybody with a hint of discernment would have recognized,
17:41oh, and I smell the rat.
17:43And of course, when we unpacked it, going to the website, talking about the guiding principles,
17:46sharing you with you, their own audio of them, describing their things and the video of them,
17:50to y'all all caught up. You know, you saw what was truly behind the scenes.
17:53But people that were showing up in the streets passionately misinformed, they didn't know they
17:58were gathering to loosen the tight grip of heteronormative thinking in America. So,
18:04just want you to be remembered. There's a Jonah Dab behind the scenes. That being said, I am
18:10I'm overly excited to have on the program right now a man who I follow for quite some time from a distance. I've never met in person yet.
18:17He is the father of the L.S.V. investing movement. And if you wonder what that is, it is the Liberty, Security and Values investing movement.
18:30He is a national security investment consultant, Institute co-founder.
18:35He is the host of the economic war room with Kevin Freeman on the Blaze TV.
18:39He also hosts Pirate Radio, which can be heard right here on American Family Radio on Saturdays
18:45at 10 a.m.
18:47My guest right now is none other than Mr. Kevin Freeman.
18:52Mr. Freeman, thank you for joining me here on the program.
18:54I should have mentioned to author of numerous best-selling books, including The One I'm
18:57Holding In My Hand, hand right now, Pirate Money, which I want to have a conversation about.
19:02Mr. Freeman, thank you for joining me here on the Hamilton Corner.
19:05Oh, thank you, Abraham.
19:07It was a pleasure and an honor to be on your program.
19:10Oh, the pleasure is certainly mine for a host of reasons, not least of which you being on
19:18the forefront of this LSB investing movement.
19:21And I'll just start right there to kind of give a more expansive introduction of you to
19:26our audience here.
19:28What is the LSB investing movement?
19:30Well, it's the opposite.
19:32It's the answer to ESG.
19:34I mean, you know what ESG stands for, environment, social governance, which is really a Marxist
19:38plot to undermine our economy through the corporate board structure.
19:44And so that's where all the DEI, all of everything that you would think destroys the family in
19:50Texas to globalism is found in ESG.
19:53And liberty, we believe in that.
19:55It's economic liberty.
19:56It's personal liberty.
19:57It's religious liberty.
19:58security, we believe that families should have a right to defend themselves and the government
20:02should protect our borders and the government should protect our citizens. That's security
20:06and values. We believe in Judeo-Christian Western civilization, really, the values that we find
20:12in the scriptures. So that's what we stand for and people should invest in alignment. If
20:17they believe in ESG, then that's what they should invest in. But if they believe in liberty,
20:21security and values, they need to be investing in LSV.
20:25Well said I should have also added that Kevin Freeman is also considered one of the world's leading
20:31Experts on the issues on the issues are of economic warfare
20:35I mean when I say he's been on the front line folks
20:38He's been on the front lines calling out the the horrors of
20:42the the attacks on the dollar the efforts to remove the dollars the world's number one as the world's reserve currency and
20:49You guys know how I've talked at length about
20:52the
20:53of the Federal Reserve System and all of that.
20:55He's been in the forefront of all of this.
20:57And Kevin, I love how you dedicate your book
21:01to the creator of life, the author of Truth,
21:04the one who demands honest, weight, and measures.
21:08Oh, I love that.
21:08Obviously taken from scripture,
21:11what do the American people fail to recognize
21:14and understand when it comes to recognizing
21:17that we are already at war economically?
21:20Well, they fail to recognize that God created
21:23heavens to the earth and in that he created gold and silver and sometimes copper is money.
21:27You see that in the Olympics, right?
21:29You have a gold medal, a silver medal or a bronze medal, gold silver copper.
21:33You see it in the Scriptures.
21:35The smallest money was the widows might which were two copper coins that were put in like
21:39our pennies.
21:41Genesis to Revelation in the Scriptures God created money as gold, silver and copper.
21:46And that's not just true in Israel and the Middle East, that's true in Africa, that was
21:50That was true in Australia.
21:52That was true in England.
21:54That was true in Canada.
21:55It's true in South America.
21:56Everywhere humans have lived, gold and silver and copper have been precious and they've
22:02been money.
22:03And that was true until in the United States, 1971, when Richard Nixon took us off the gold
22:09standard using the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and no longer backing up our printed money
22:15with gold or silver.
22:17And since that time till now, we've seen the purchasing power of our money decline by
22:2290%.
22:23We've seen the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
22:25We've seen economic justice being stripped.
22:28Why?
22:29Because God hates unjust weights and measures.
22:31And when you can print money, it's an unjust weight or measure.
22:35And the federal government does that repeatedly.
22:37Well, here's what it says in 1 Corinthians.
22:39It says, your work will be tested by fire.
22:43Well, what does that mean?
22:45It means that if your work is gold or silver or rubies, it'll be purified by fire.
22:51But if it's wood, hay and stubble, it will be burned up.
22:54Our paper money is made out of wood, hay and stubble.
22:57It's not backed by anything.
22:58And therefore, testing by fire, which is coming.
23:01There will be a fire testing our economy.
23:03And when it comes, gold and silver will shine and be purified, but our paper money system
23:09will fail.
23:10And I want to point out, in 1971, I just had Dr. David Bratt, who is a vice president
23:15President, senior vice president at Liberty University, former congressman, economist,
23:19and he was running through charts with me as I recorded my show, Economic War Room, and
23:23he said, everything bad happened in 1971.
23:26We saw, for example, average black income as a percentage of white income was rising rapidly
23:32from the end of World War II until 1971, and then it started declining, and then it fell
23:38off.
23:40Consumer prices skyrocketed, started in 1971.
23:43You see household formations decline following 1971.
23:48You see women having five children up till 1971 and now they barely have two children per
23:55woman and that's barely maintaining your population.
23:58All of the household formations, cost of housing, everything you look at in America started to
24:04shift in 1971 and from 1971 to the present the rich have gotten richer but the average
24:12person has lost ground so that what one man could earn in one day's wage now requires
24:19the man and his wife to both be in the workforce to earn that.
24:22So we've seen a massive societal change when we got off God's money and went on to this
24:27fiat money which is created by the government, not by God.
24:33Now I want to ask a question and obviously I have ideas about it.
24:37As you mentioned the year that would have always lived in Infamy in my mind, 1971 when we were
24:40we're moving from the gold standard as you described
24:43as a result of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
24:46Most people don't realize the Federal Reserve Act
24:48was initially tried to be passed in 1910,
24:50but it failed.
24:51Then they came back around in 1913, had it passed,
24:54and the design from the very beginning was to get
24:56to this fiat currency phenomenon.
24:57But the unfortunate reality is that all too often,
25:00and Jesus said this, all too often,
25:02wicked folks are wiser and more patient.
25:05I won't say wiser, but more schemed, more deliberate,
25:09more planned and more patient than righteous people.
25:13And you had kind of the tenderizing of society
25:16to where Nixon removed us from the gold standard in 71.
25:18It was a culmination of what was initiated
25:20from the Federal Reserve in like the 1913.
25:22But he initially said it would be temporary.
25:25What happened to our society that caused the people
25:29to be willing to kind of go along with it
25:31without much of a objection it seems like
25:34at that time when that transpired?
25:37You know what actually happened is called financialization.
25:39I covered it in the book, Pirate Money on page 134.
25:42And essentially, people realized I can make more money
25:45on money than I can off manufacturing something
25:49or off my labor.
25:50So a bunch of people dropped out.
25:52Just imagine it was like, you know,
25:53when we had the dot com bubble 25 years ago
25:57and people were quitting their jobs
25:58so they could day trade stocks.
26:00Well, how does that benefit people?
26:02How do people win from that?
26:03What if everybody quit their job and went to Las Vegas
26:06and they started gambling and making money?
26:08would our economy do well or poorly?
26:11Well, actually the financialization of Wall Street
26:13where they start making bets on things.
26:15It used to be that Wall Street served business
26:18by raising capital and providing that necessary capital
26:21and opportunity for ownership for regular people.
26:23But starting in 1971,
26:25they started creating all these derivative financial instruments
26:29and people started gambling with those
26:31instead of actually loaning money
26:34or raising capital for companies that made automobiles
26:38produced oil or gas or employed real people. And pretty soon they became the number one,
26:43the kings of the country would be the financialization, the hedge funds and so forth. And if they
26:49could make an extra one-tenth of 1% doing something that maybe cost a bunch of jobs, oh, they would
26:55do it. If they could con a company and to offshoring all of their employees, you know, you can get
27:01cheaper labor in China, it'll be a whole lot cheaper and we'll loan you money to do that.
27:05And so people started moving manufacturing overseas.
27:08We became an overly financialized economy.
27:11And then people said, wow, if that hurts the stock market, that hurts me.
27:15I won't do the right thing if that makes the stock market go down so people would panic.
27:19And Wall Street's answer was turn to the federal government, the federal government, and just
27:23print more money and give it to you.
27:24So they bailed out the banks, no recourse.
27:26Nobody went to jail for the financial crisis of 2008.
27:30Not a single person went to jail for that.
27:32And that result of that is we've turned into a gambling casino in this country.
27:36President Trump, he wants to change that.
27:38He wants to re-shore some of those jobs and he wants to take away all that financialization.
27:43I think he needs to speed that up because that's where America needs to return.
27:48We need to be a productive society, a God-fearing society, and a return to a strong economy.
27:54You provide an anecdote in your book about when you were younger and you were able to use
27:59a dollar and get a burger and get a slurpee and things of that nature, how can we communicate
28:06effectively or more effectively, I would say, to the American populace at large, the absolute
28:13treachery that inflation presents.
28:15A lot of people think inflation is just automatic.
28:16It's just automatic that's going to happen.
28:18And you know, hey, you used to be able to get your book, you can talk about five gallons
28:22of gas for this amount now, and now you can't do that now.
28:25How can we communicate more effectively with American populace at large?
28:28The absolute treachery that runaway inflation truly is in diminishing our purchasing power.
28:34Well, the Federal Reserve has said it.
28:36They say it every time they go on CNBC, you'll see Chairman Powell.
28:41If inflation is below 2%, he's going to say, well, the Federal Reserve would like 2% inflation
28:46and we're going to do whatever possible to raise the inflation rate to 2%.
28:50Well, if you lose 2% a year over your lifetime,
28:53literally you lose all your money.
28:55I'll give you a perfect example.
28:57In 1925, let's say your great grandfather,
29:00the Bible says a good man leaves in inheritance
29:03to his children's children.
29:041925, my grandfather was old enough to have bought a car
29:10and he could have bought a car for $400.
29:13He'd have a choice.
29:14He could have 20, $20 bills,
29:17or he could have 20 ounces of gold.
29:18both were worth $400. Now let's say put it in a time capsule and you dug it up and my grandfather
29:25left an inheritance to his children's children. That would be me and I opened it up. $400 would
29:31have bought a car in 1925. It won't buy a set of tires today. So wait a minute. All right. So that
29:39$400, those $20, $20 bills aren't worth much. The 20 ounces of gold, that's worth $66,000 today.
29:48Can I buy a new car with that? Absolutely. You can buy a new car a hundred years ago.
29:53The same thing is true with the Hershey Bar or anything else. I can buy a Hershey Bar for a dime in 1971.
29:59A silver dime with the content of a 1964 or earlier silver dime. I can still buy that Hershey Bar.
30:06Bottom line, this is why we have a wealth gap. People will say, well, we're not taxing the wealthy enough.
30:13That's not the problem. We're printing too much money. That's the problem.
30:16The wealthy people can make money from all that money printing.
30:20The rest of us get left out.
30:22If you're in Mississippi, like I think you are or AFR is located,
30:26or I'm in Texas or I grew up in Oklahoma on an Indian territory in Oklahoma,
30:32they don't have a chance to make money off inflation,
30:35but the people in Wall Street and Silicon Valley do,
30:38and they take advantage of it.
30:40People in Washington, D.C., they take advantage.
30:42They make themselves profits,
30:44and the rest of us suffer.
30:46Inflation is the cruelest, most evil tax.
30:49I wanna take my family to dinner.
30:51If I did it five years ago in 2020,
30:53I get a family afforded dinner for 40 bucks easy
30:57and it was a nice dinner.
30:58Now you take the family for for dinner
31:00and you walk out with a tip and you look,
31:03I just spent $100 and I didn't get for filet mignons.
31:08I spent $100 because of filet's 50 bucks.
31:11So if you wanna maintain your lifestyle,
31:14you're purchasing power, you want to give a good future
31:16to your kids, you got to stop inflation either
31:19at the national level or the personal level.
31:22And that's what pirate money is about.
31:23And I feel you're paying my wife and I,
31:26we have six children.
31:27So I know what it's like going to a restaurant.
31:29I'm saying, wait a minute, I didn't plan to take
31:31on a mortgage to get dinner with my wife and children.
31:35And really what I'm doing now is trying to kind of provide,
31:39set the problem up, but then in the next segment,
31:41I want to talk more about the solution
31:43because you have states across the country
31:44have the Gold Bullion Reserve in Texas,
31:47you have states like Arkansas and Utah and other states
31:50that are passing laws, Florida, passing laws,
31:52moving toward transactional gold and silver.
31:55And so I wanna talk a little bit about that
31:57in the next segment.
31:58But the next iteration of fiat currency
32:00we have right before us currently
32:02is central bank digital currencies.
32:03We have about maybe 20 seconds now.
32:06What would you say about central bank digital currencies?
32:09And we'll pick up with this on the other side of the break.
32:12Central Bank digital currencies are designed to control your life economically.
32:16You might even think of them like the mark of the beast.
32:18Without them, you won't be allowed to buy or sell unless we come up with an alternative.
32:24And folks, almost every nation in the world right now is moving.
32:28At least 100 plus nations are moving towards the creation of Central Bank digital currencies.
32:32You need to know about it.
32:33I wanted to have this conversation to make you aware of it.
32:36Even more that we have in the past, you're listening to Kevin Freeman, host of Economic War Room
32:41on Blaze TV, author of Pirate Money
32:43that I cannot recommend more highly.
32:46You need to get and read this book to be conversant
32:49on this topic to fortify yourselves personally
32:51and your families and your community.
32:53Stay with us more when we come back from this break.
33:00AFA Action takes attacks on the family seriously.
33:04The enemies of the family constantly employ new tactics
33:07to try to sneak past our radar.
33:09They know if we stand together, their evil plans will fail.
33:12Your gift to AFA Action allows us to stay vigilant against their onslaught.
33:17And if you give this month, you'll receive access to the Cultural Institute video

33:30The first three chapters of Revelation are completely unique in the Bible.
33:35Jesus reveals Himself in so much glory that His beloved disciple John falls flat on His face.
33:42Jesus gives him a message the church needed to hear.
33:45I'm David Wollen.
33:46Join me this week as we continue a Haven Today series called Letters from Jesus.
33:51Haven Today, week day mornings at 430 Central on American Family Radio.
33:56Listen online at AFR.net.
33:59Attention husbands and fathers.
34:03This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian World View.
34:06As we near Father's Day, let's remember the call for husbands and fathers.
34:10and fathers. The Bible says, husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church
34:16and gave himself up for her so that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing
34:22of water with the Word. Pastor and author Joel Beakey has written a short book titled
34:28How to Lead Your Family, where he explains how Christian husbands and fathers share in
34:33a limited way Christ's three offices of prophet, priest, and king, and how this should be
34:39manifested in instructive, sacrificial, and loving leadership.
34:44Here are most recent programs with Joel Biki at theChristianWorldView.org and then tune in
34:50this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
34:53Listen to The Christian World View with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 Central on American
34:58Family Radio.
34:59The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at AFR.net.
35:10to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
35:18My guest is Kevin Freeman, host of Economic War Room on Blaze TV.
35:23The Pirate Money Radio show that we heard here on AFR on Saturdays at 10 AM Central Time
35:28and the author of Pirate Money.
35:31Get three or four copies, one for yourself and two or three to give away because you need
35:36it.
35:37Your friends and families.
35:38Your friends and family needs it, your community needs it as well.
35:42We were having the conversation before the break, just generally, what as to what central
35:48bank digital currencies are, which frankly, even though they're not in everyday conversation
35:53with people at coffee shops, almost every nation, at least over a hundred nations around
35:57the country are all working as we are speaking right now to create their own central bank
36:01digital currencies.
36:02nation is doing it as well and and Kevin you began explaining what Central Bank
36:09digital currencies are and I want to invite you now to just expand that
36:11explanation a little bit. Yeah so imagine Bitcoin and the government
36:17decides they're going to issue their own version of Bitcoin but they're going to
36:21know everybody who uses it everywhere it's used and they have an on-off switch
36:26to determine whether or not you're allowed to use it. So you go into a
36:30coffee shop and you say, I'm going to buy a latte.
36:32And it notices that you've had two cups of caffeine already
36:36that day and decides, you know what,
36:37you don't need any more caffeine today.
36:40So you go to pay for a regular coffee, it won't let you.
36:44You could get a decaf though.
36:45You go to McDonald's and you want to order a cheeseburger.
36:47You're thinking of Big Mac.
36:48I want a Big Mac.
36:50And they said, well, we checked your cholesterol levels
36:53and they will say, you can buy a salad here at McDonald's,
36:57but no Big Mac, no fries.
36:59and you can have water to drink.
37:01So it's nanny state technology.
37:03And you think, well, that's crazy.
37:05They wouldn't do that.
37:05Well, Mayor Bloomberg in New York said,
37:08you can't buy more than a 16-ounce soda.
37:10Well, let's say you go and you go to Home Depot
37:12and you're gonna buy yourself a new gas grill.
37:15Oh, I'm sorry.
37:17You're not allowed to buy a gas grill.
37:18Your social credit score is not high enough.
37:20And so you can buy an electric grill, but not a gas grill
37:24because we don't want you to have a gas stove.
37:26Or you go to borrow money.
37:28or you go to buy gasoline.
37:29And they say, your car is not electric.
37:31You can't buy any gasoline,
37:32or you could only buy eight gallons a month.
37:34They can keep track of absolutely everything
37:36with central bank digital currency,
37:38because it's nanny state technology.
37:40They monitor everything you do.
37:42They can cut you off.
37:43You say, I'm gonna travel 20 minutes away from my home.
37:46Oh no, no, we have a 15 minute city.
37:48You're only allowed to purchase within walking distance
37:52of your home.
37:53Or we have a lockdown because there's a new pandemic
37:56can you go out and you're gonna buy something?
37:58You say, you know, you're not allowed to buy anything.
38:01It is absolutely opportunity for them
38:04to completely control everything that you do.
38:07And that is central bank digital currency.
38:09It is fiat money like we've had paper money on steroids,
38:12because all they have to do is add a zero.
38:14They don't even have to print it anymore.
38:16They just add a zero or two zeros or 10 zeros,
38:19and they can set the price of anything.
38:21They can control every aspect of the economy.
38:24It's what the Chinese are developing based on social credit scores.
38:28It's a means of control.
38:29What if you want to give to your church?
38:31I'm sorry.
38:32We don't like your church because they believe marriage is between a man and a woman.
38:36It's not two men and six women and not two goats and three men.
38:41Therefore they have hate speech and therefore when you go to put that tie then online, there's
38:47no money to drop in the collection plate, you put that tie then online and you put that
38:51I'm sorry, you are not allowed to give to this location, but we've decided to do something
38:56good for you.
38:57We're going to redirect your giving to this group over here that we do like.
39:02And you have no saying that central bank digital currency.
39:05Oh, so much time needs to be spent on that.
39:10So what is the solution?
39:11You take on what I believe propose a viable solution in pirate money.
39:18What should we as a nation and citizens of our states and citizens of our nation, which
39:24should we be pushing for in order to fight against?
39:28Frankly, I would argue this iteration of spiritual warfare applied to economics.
39:34What do we need to do to fight against it?
39:36Yeah, it's demonic, the whole notion of controlling other human beings.
39:41It is the exact opposite of liberty, security and values.
39:44So the answer is, if the federal government says this is the only money that we will
39:48allow, let's look in the Constitution and see if states are allowed to have anything different.
39:55So you go to article one, section 10 of the Constitution, it says, a state can make nothing
39:59other than gold and silver coins tender for payment of debts in the state. Nothing other than gold and
40:04silver. Then all of a sudden you realize, wait, that means a state can make gold and silver payment
40:10and it's not under federal authority and you look to all the court cases which I covered in the
40:14the book Pirate Money and realize, wait a minute,
40:17our federal, our founders and our constitution
40:21and the courts have said that a state
40:23can make gold and silver money.
40:25What if we created a personal, optional,
40:29gold and silver money at state authority level,
40:32not at federal level, but at state authority level
40:34and people could say, well, you tell me
40:36that you're gonna shut off my central bank
40:38digital currency, I'm just gonna use
40:40gold and silver through the states.
40:42What if my employer could pay me in gold or silver instead of US dollars?
40:47I'd still pay my taxes that I have that would be due and owe,
40:52but the federal government wouldn't be able to monitor my transactions.
40:56What if my grocery store, I went to a public store or an HEB or a Kroger,
41:02and I paid in gold? Which you can do, by the way, the technology exists and I paid them in gold.
41:07How do you do it? You put gold on deposit in a depository like Texas has a bullion
41:12a repository or Florida is going to use maybe a Brinks fault or some other depository and then
41:17they give you a debit card and they keep track of whenever you spend it and they will give the vendor
41:24the grocery store US dollars if they want or they'll give them gold or they'll give them silver it's
41:29optional it's personal well all of a sudden I've created a personal optional gold standard that I
41:34can live on even no matter what the federal government they can print all the money they want they
41:39They can create central bank digital currency.
41:41They can do anything they want.
41:42I can continue to do business and operate using gold
41:45and silver under the Constitution and under state authority.
41:49And now we started in Texas to try and get this past two years
41:53ago, one session ago.
41:55It barely missed but didn't pass.
41:57I wrote the book, Pirate Money.
41:59I got calls from across the country.
42:01I read your book.
42:01Can we do this in my state?
42:03And we started movements in all those states.
42:07And this year we had passed in Utah,
42:10in Arkansas, in Florida, in Missouri, and in Texas.
42:14And maybe Louisiana is still out there.
42:17That's six states, potentially.
42:20The four big ones, or the four ones that have actually passed it,
42:24and Utah vetoed it, unfortunately.
42:26But the four ones, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri,
42:30those four states have a combined economic power
42:33a $5 trillion a year larger than every nation on Earth, except for China and the United States.
42:39We've created a movement. You can learn more at transactionalgold.com that is literally poised
42:46to change the way that America operates economically.
42:50Now I want to get into this in a little bit more detail as much as we can in about the
42:54last seven minutes or so that we have because Texas already has the gold bullion depository.
43:01So Texans can basically save gold with state support, right?
43:08All right.
43:09But what we're talking about is moving to the next step to be able to enter into consumer
43:14transactions with gold or silver.
43:17Is that right?
43:18That's exactly right.
43:19Okay.
43:20Yep.
43:21In fact, it was on the Texas ballot a year ago.
43:23Do you want this and 76 and a half percent voted yes, I want this 1.6 million.
43:29said, please add a debit card so I can spend my gold and silver
43:33that's in this repository.
43:35So what happened?
43:37Is that not effective currently in your home state in Texas?
43:41Well, it was a proposition that alerted the politicians what we wanted
43:45to see done. It was put in the Republican Party platform.
43:48And then it passed this year, HP 1056, we're waiting on a signature
43:53from the governor right now. If you live in Texas and you're listening to this,
43:57Governor Abbott's office and say sign HB 1056. Yes. So it would require also however, or wouldn't it
44:07require the internal revenue service to change the way it approaches gold? Because right now it
44:12treats gold and silver to different degrees as commodities, right? So what? Collectibles. Yeah.
44:19Yeah. So how do we navigate that notion? Because if you have gold or silver and say you have a
44:25transactionally and you sell some or you make a consumer transaction and then your tax don't
44:30at the commodities rate, how do we square that circle?
44:35Well and that's a problem that we have right now until you pass this state law because it
44:42takes away some of your gains.
44:43So let's say you bought gold at $2,000 an ounce and goes to $3,000 an ounce and you spend it,
44:48you're going to have to pay tax on that gain.
44:50You're still better off than if you held it in US dollars.
44:53You're still paying only a portion, 28% of the gain that you had.
44:59But under IRS code, and by the way, it's IRS code, it is not U.S. law.
45:05This is not passed by the Congress and signed by the president.
45:08They didn't know what to do with gold.
45:10In 1973, when you could own gold again, after 40 years, it was confiscated by FDR in 1933.
45:16In 1973, people had a bunch of gold coins.
45:19They'd appreciated substantial value.
45:21Iris says, what do we do with this?
45:23Well, what are they?
45:24Well, they're gold coins, silver coins,
45:26they were minted in 1917.
45:28Gosh, that's a collectible.
45:30We'll treat them like rare coins, and we'll tax them that way.
45:33Congress didn't pass that a law.
45:35That's just in the IRS code.
45:37And in their code, they specifically say,
45:39yeah, technically they're legal tender,
45:41but they're not being used functionally.
45:43They don't function as money.
45:46Well, we've taken it back.
45:48We're saying it's legal tender,
45:49and it's functioning as money under our new laws, Governor Ron DeSantis was asked this
45:55question point blank, what are you going to do? He said, the first thing we're going to do is go to
45:58the federal government and tell them, hey, stop taxing our money. You don't have a right to tax it.
46:03It's an IRS ruling. It's not Congress passing a law. And by the way, if you go back to the court
46:08decisions in 1868, no less, Lane County v. Oregon, the Supreme Court told Lane County in Oregon,
46:16And hey, if the state of Oregon wants to demand you collect taxes in gold and silver,
46:22you collect taxes in gold and silver.
46:24Don't come crying to us.
46:25Congress can't fix it.
46:26The Supreme Court can't fix it.
46:28The bureaucracy can't fix it.
46:30That is a state authority under Article 1, Section 10.
46:33That should apply to taxation as well.
46:36If the federal government cannot interfere with the state's enumerated right to make gold
46:41and silver legal tender and they do not tax money, they only tax taxes.
46:46collectibles or commodities.
46:47Mm.
46:48So with let's states passing legislation to allow
46:52gold and so, not to allow,
46:53but to make gold and silver transactional,
46:55we have the wherewithal to foreclose the tax complications
46:59and other things because you will once again be treated
47:01functionally as money.
47:04Right.
47:05Guys, we need to do this.
47:06I mean, when you think about,
47:08and I told the story before, my grandmother
47:11was the first one of my family to move out of the projects
47:13in New Orleans, Louisiana,
47:14She bought her home for $25,000, you know,
47:17you know, a regular, about 1,800 square foot,
47:19three bedroom, two-bedroom, bathroom house.
47:22Well, people today, you can't imagine buying a house
47:25for $25,000, and it is, you know, it is inflation,
47:28the invisible tax that is decimating our purchasing power,
47:32really causing the instability of the fiat dollar
47:35to be exposed on a national stage,
47:37and really giving impetus for like bricks and China
47:41to continue to work to destabilize the dollar
47:43as the world's global reserve currency.
47:47What needs to happen in order to one, educate the American
47:50populace concerned of the need for this,
47:52and then secondarily to get states to join Florida,
47:55potentially Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Utah,
47:59even to override their governor's veto of the legislation
48:02and to cause this to be something that is established
48:04at a minimum in the non-regressive states in America.
48:09Yeah, well, the first thing to do is educate yourself.
48:11I tried to do a good job explaining how it works
48:14in the book Pirate Money, and you get a copy
48:17at piratemoneybook.com.
48:18But if you want to see what your state is doing,
48:21we have a website called transactionalgold.com,
48:25and you can learn more there about what is the state,
48:28for example, of Oklahoma doing.
48:29There was legislation that was entered,
48:31it almost passed, it came very close,
48:33but the Senate pro-Temm killed it the last second
48:36when we had enough votes.
48:38Kansas, Senator Mike Murphy entered this in Kansas,
48:41and by the way, Kansas, there's a whole story
48:43in the book Pirate Money about the Wizard of Oz
48:46and getting back to real money,
48:48the Wizard of Oz was written as a story to explain money.
48:52It wasn't written to be wicked or some Broadway play.
48:57I'm glad it is, it's very entertaining,
48:59but the original story was explaining how money worked.
49:02And you can read about that in the book Pirate Money.
49:04So educate yourself, then learn what your community is doing
49:08and then get behind some of the people
49:10and some of the movements.
49:11Start encouraging others to read the book
49:13support the bills that we label in at transactionalgold.com.
49:19Guys, this is vitally important.
49:20And I know as Kevin alluded to that, you know,
49:24the concept economics, I want to talk about economics,
49:27but it's vitally important.
49:29It's vitally important because it's one of the tools
49:32that's being utilized, frankly,
49:34to decimate liberty in the country
49:35and basically to create slaves.
49:37You know, you and I'll leave this to you to share this, Kevin,
49:40but it was the destabilization of the money
49:43that led to the enslavement of the Hebrew people by Egypt.
49:45Would you want to just allude to that briefly
49:47in the last 30 seconds or so before we close out the show?
49:51Yeah, absolutely.
49:52It says, when the money fails, it's right there in Genesis.
49:55When the money fails is when Pharaoh got control
49:58of everybody and everything in Egypt.
50:00And that's when Hebrews got enslaved.
50:03Folks, pirate money is the book.
50:05Kevin Freeman is the man.
50:07Economic War Room is the Blaze TV show.
50:09Pirate Money Radio is the AFR show.
50:12you need to get it, share it with your friends and family.
50:15Mr. Freeman, thank you, and I know I've been calling you Kevin and Mr. Freeman.
50:17Mr. Freeman, thank you for joining me here on the program.
50:20I would love to have you back to continue these conversations
50:22and to continue to advocate for states, protecting their citizens against the inevitable collapse
50:30of the Fiat system.
50:33You all have a wonderful, wonderful evening.
