1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: So there are two stories when it comes to the

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel fiasco. One is what you know about that

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: has happened over the last I don't know, ten days.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: And then there's the other part of the story. I

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: want to tell you just how stupid the CEO of

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel and their team actually is.

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: Now, this is the story you don't know about.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: There was a prominent Cracker Barrel investor that warned executives

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: that they were walking into quote a text book trap.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: That's right.

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: One of Cracker Barrel's largest investors literally sent up a

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: red flag last fall regarding the board director's rebranding plan

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: for the company, but it went unheeded.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Now that was last fall.

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: In fact, it was a two page critique dated November thirteenth,

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Start R Big Laurie, who owns about

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: five percent, which is a lot of the restaurant chains stock,

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: wrote his fellow shareholders that the Cracker Barrell transformation was

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: quote a mistake of misguided executives falling for quote a

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: textbook trap of overspending on cosmetic remodeling.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: Here is his exact words.

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: The day Cracker Burrough opened, it was already old its

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: theme derived from the nineteen twenties. I am concerned that

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: not only will the remodel not work, but it could

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: actually damage the brand further. These decisions are taking us

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: down the same path, he said. I believe as Ruby

27
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday's Red Lobster, TGI Fridays and the likes. Let me

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: make my position clear. The shareholder said the coming seven

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar remodel plan will not work. In a

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: private letter to shareholders on October the twenty fourth, the

31
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: man called the board's transformation plan obvious folly. The investment

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: is also a major investor in Stake and Shake Friendlies

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: and Western Sizzelin. Shareholders ultimately sided with the Cracker Barrell CEO,

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: who took the position with the company last year. They

35
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: rejected the shareholder's bid to become a member of the

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: board and instead elected Cracker Barrell's slate of ten recommended

37
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: nominees on November the twenty first of twenty twenty four,

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of yes people for a predictable, woke CEO

39
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: management tow The vote is an endorsement of the transformation

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: as the quote right path to return Crackerbell to growth

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: and meaningful value creation for all shareholders. The rollout of

42
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: Crockerbell's new logo did not go well, and that's the

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: story you know about. You would think that companies would

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: learn from the fiascos and the disasters of woke ideology.

45
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: A great example of that is what happened with bud

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Light using a transgendered person aka a dude acting like

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: a to try to.

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Promote their brand. We all know how that ended.

49
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: You would also think that CEOs in twenty twenty five

50
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: would understand that there's quite a few Americans out there

51
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: that just want brands to be normal and not push

52
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: in agenda, or if they have a core audience, don't

53
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: be ashamed of them and who they actually are. Well,

54
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: you would think that CEOs of companies would understand that

55
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: insert cracker barrel aiming to quote modernize. Under the new

56
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: CEO appointed in twenty twenty three, they decided it was

57
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: a good idea to trash an entire brand, but not

58
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: just the brand, actually trash the customers that had propped

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: up that brand for decades. They unveiled what they described

60
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: as a minimalist text only logo and updated the restaurant

61
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: de core, dropping the iconic image of Uncle herschel the

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: overalls clad man leaning on a barrel, and removing the

63
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: quote old country store from all of their branding. Yes,

64
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: it was a slap in the face or a middle finger,

65
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: however you want to describe it to the customers that

66
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: love Cracker Barrel Oil. Customers and branding critics then slammed

67
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: the changes, accusing the chain of abandoning not only its

68
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: nostalgic but also its Southern Country identity. The company's stock

69
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: tumbled by more than ten percent, in fact, to seventeen

70
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: percent if you look at the latest reports, and the

71
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: brand lost as much as one hundred million dollars in

72
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: its valuation. But apparently that wasn't enough for Cracker Barrel leaders.

73
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: They stuck to their plan day after day as it

74
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: continued to get out of control, and then when they

75
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: knew they had a real problem, they went on Good

76
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Morning America. The Cracker Barrel CEO on the restaurant renovations

77
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that had made everyone start talking about the brand. Here's

78
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: what she had to say when was asked about, Hey,

79
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: did you guys maybe make a mistake?

80
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: And I got to asked this question, I believe I'd

81
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: probably know to answer. What if all the customers are

82
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: coming at you hard enough about the look at a restaurant,

83
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: and they want to go back to the old way.

84
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: Would you do it?

85
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 4: Honestly, the feedback's been overwhelmingly positive that people like what

86
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: we're doing. I'll give you another SoundBite. I actually happened

87
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: to be in Orlando last week with all of our managers.

88
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: We bring them together and once every other year, and

89
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: the number one question that I got asked Michael was

90
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: how can I get a remodel? When can I get

91
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: a remodel? How do I get on the list? Really so,

92
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: because the feedback and the buzz is so good, not

93
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: only from our customers but from our team members. They

94
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: want to work in a wonderful restaurant. So we're doing

95
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 4: everything for our guests and our team members.

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: When Julia Messino, it's wonderful to have you here, pleasure

97
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: to thank you. I answer those questions for all the

98
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: Crack and Berry fans out there. There's a lot of great.

99
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: Changes, Thank you so much, a lot of great changes.

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: How Good Morning America put it well? That didn't go

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: over well. Fast forward to Monday and finally Cracker Barrel

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: admitted defeat and their woke CEO. Realizing she had a

103
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: very big problem on her hands, Cracker Barrell acknowledged that

104
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: it quote could have done a better job of sharing

105
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: who we are and who will always be, Attempting to

106
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: calm the furious customer base that had abandoned the store,

107
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Their public communications team emphasized that quote beloved elements like

108
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Uncle Herschel rocking chairs out front, the classic decor would

109
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: in fact remain in the stores. And then there's the

110
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: politics of this. Donald Trump wide in strongly saying quote

111
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: Crackerbrell should go back to the old logo and made

112
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: a mistake and manage the company better than ever before.

113
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Hours later, the White House, via the pres Secretary Caroline Levitt,

114
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: praise Crackerbrell's decision to revert, say that Trump has unmatched

115
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: business instincts and that the brand made a great decision

116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: to trust the President of the United States of America.

117
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: By Tuesday evening, Cracker Barrel had changed her tune even more.

118
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: They announced it.

119
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Would scrap the new logo entirely and revert to the

120
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: original old Timer design with Uncle Herschel and the old

121
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Country store naming back. The company described the change as

122
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: listening quote to its customers and reaffirming the importance of tradition, hospitality,

123
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: and comfort. Now, Donald Trump's vocal criticism and the public

124
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: urging made a massive difference and aligned with widespread customer

125
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: outrage as well as the financial losses. And then Cracker

126
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Barrel had to fully admit that the rebrand was a mistake.

127
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Not only was it a mistake because they were ashamed

128
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: of apparently their image, they were ashamed of their customer base.

129
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: They wanted to be new, trendy and woke. Well, now,

130
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel said, after losing one hundred million in their

131
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: market cap, Okay, I guess we're just gonna go back

132
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: to how things were before. Remember, nothing was actually broken.

133
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: And this is the bigger question that so many people

134
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: should be asking, especially in the advertising, marketing and the

135
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: business brand world. Why on earth would you try to

136
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: take an iconic brand like Cracker Barrel and change into

137
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: something clearly that doesn't align with your customers. It's an

138
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: amazing brand, it's a business that people love going into.

139
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: The food is actually incredible, and the President United States

140
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: of America calling them out was a brilliant move. By

141
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: the way, he was also protecting so many of the

142
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: people that work there and people that invested in the business.

143
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: Job.

144
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: Well done to the President the United States of America

145
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: for doing this. It'll be very interesting to see how

146
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: long the leadership at Cracker Barrel will still be employed

147
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: after this nightmare and disaster. I want to talk to

148
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: you about my friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Medals. Two

149
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: days ago, I got my new order of silver. Now

150
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing on

151
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: it is amazing and the upside well, it's real. I

152
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It is

153
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces.

154
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: But I also know that I bought it at the

155
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: right price and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote.

156
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Rare are special coins, and then when you go to

157
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: sell them, you take away all of your earning potential.

158
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: Why do they do it this way at Kurt Elliott

159

162
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,679

164
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,200

165
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,280

Speaker 2: KEPM dot com slash ben.

186
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: I want to get you some really important information and

187
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: this actually happened quietly on August seventh, the President signed

188
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: an executive order and it opened the door in a

189
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: way that we've never seen before to alternative assets in

190
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: four oh one case. And what this means is is

191
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: going to have a huge impact when it comes to

192
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: gold and silver crypto as well. And this was something

193
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that the President put out he was very proud of.

194
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: He said, quote by the authority invested in me as

195
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: President by the Constitution, in the Laws of the United

196
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: States of America. It is hereby ordered, he said, Section

197
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: one purpose. Many wealthy Americans and government workers who participate

198
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: in public pension plans can invest in or are the

199
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: beneficiaries of investments in a number of alternative assets. Yet,

200
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: while more than ninety million Americans participate in employer sponsor

201
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: defined contribution plans, the vast majority of these investors you

202
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: don't have the opportunity to participate either directly or through

203
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: their retirement plans. And then potential growth and diversification opportunities

204
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: associated with alternative asset investments. So what does this actually

205
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: mean for you and how big could this be for Americans?

206
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Join me out to talk about that. It's Kurt Elliott.

207
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: He is the man in charge at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals.

208
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: You can find them online and all of this data

209
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: will be there at ke PM dot com. That's k

210
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: e PM dot com, Kurt. This was a big move

211
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: by the President United States of America. There was a

212
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: lot of people that didn't like this because it allowed

213
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: for these alternative investments which others have been able to

214
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: capitalize on, and he's saying he wants to make sure

215
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: that Americans can have that in their four to one K.

216
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 5: This is huge, It's absolutely massive then, and of course

217
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: there's going to be some institutions don't like it, the

218
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 5: JP Morgan's of the world, the Bank of Americas of

219
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 5: the world, who deal with these paper assets, right, stocks, bonds,

220
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: mutual funds. But what this does is Trump is doing

221
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 5: something that's so great for Americans, and he's kind of

222
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: restoring financial freedom, giving people the freedom of choice in

223
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 5: their finances, right. And so this executive order. I've been

224
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 5: doing this for a long time since the early two thousands,

225
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 5: like decades, and I this might be the biggest news ever.

226
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: Why because the four to one K markets over twelve

227
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: trillion dollars of assets that have already been invested. It's

228
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: not like people have to come up with the funds.

229
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 5: It's already there. So what are they going to do

230
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 5: when when you're an investor like you or me, or

231
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: any of the listeners on this show is thinking, WHOA,

232
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: I've been wanting to do cryptocurrency. I've been wanting to

233
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 5: do gold in silver, but all my assets are in

234
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: my four owe K. I couldn't do it right. So now,

235
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 5: in this executive order, in Part Section three, Part C,

236
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 5: within one hundred and eighty days of this order, this

237
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 5: is going to become effective. That's the first week in February.

238
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: So what's going to become effective? Well, let's read Section three.

239
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: Private market investments, including direct and indirect investments in equity, debt,

240
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 5: or other financial instruments not traded on public exchanges. That's

241
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 5: OTC markets over the counter like penny stocks.

242
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Right.

243
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: How about direct and indirect investments in real estate? Wow,

244
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: real estate. I can actually own commercial real estate investment

245
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 5: property in my fore o K yep. How about actively

246
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 5: managed investment vehicles in digital assets that's cryptocurrency. Part four

247
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: Directing indirected investments in commodities, Well, gold and silver is

248
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: a commodity. What Trump is saying, and here's the cool thing,

249
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: what's an indirect investment in the commodity that would be

250
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: like a gold or silver etf it's already available, but

251
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: direct would be actual physical ownership. Is the way that

252
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 5: I read this. So what Trump just did is he said, Hey,

253
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: I want Americans to have a choice in their financial future.

254
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 5: This is amazing and we needed a strong president, a

255
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 5: strong leader to actually make this happen. So when you

256
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 5: look at this, what are the consequences and what are

257
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: the benefits. Well, the benefits are alternative assets because increased

258
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: demand should go through the roof, right, because it's like, wow,

259
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 5: we've got people that have captive assets where they had

260
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: very little choice, maybe ten twenty mutual funds that they

261
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: could pick in their four one K that was it. Well,

262
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 5: now they're going to be able to do this. Are

263
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 5: going to say, I don't have any assets available except

264
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: for the stuff of my phone k. I am going

265
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: to sell my current stocks, bonds, mutual funds and reallocate,

266
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 5: reposition myself into these alternative assets that I couldn't do before.

267
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: So I think that's going to put massive selling pressure

268
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 5: on the stock market bend and you're going to see

269
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: prices come down, but as as the flip side of

270
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: that coin, you're going to see alternative investments like gold, silver,

271
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: cryptocurrency go up and go up a lot because they

272
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: already have limited supply. When you have low supply and

273
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: high demand, prices go up and they're poised to go

274
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 5: up a lot.

275
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this is inviting, insiting.

276
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 5: This.

277
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Financial Times has an article right now about this, talking

278
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: about how this executive order not only opens or to

279
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: a ton of assets and four one k they said,

280
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: here are the key considerations that.

281
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: You should be looking at.

282
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: Number one on their list is gold and silver, and

283
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: then they go into crypto as well, and they're saying

284
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: that this is going to allow the average American who

285
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: has been left behind to go direct and indirect investments

286
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: and commodities that will allow them to gain real wealth

287
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: over the long term. And they said this also allows

288
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: for the financing quote infrastructure that needed to be developed

289
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: for the little guy. That's how they described it, saying,

290
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: now it's a fair playing field. That's why the President

291
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: did this, and this is something that's going to happen,

292
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: by the way, in one hundred and eighty days. Dating

293
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: it back to August the seventh, So there is time

294
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: to plan for this for Americans as well take advantage

295
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: of it.

296
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 5: Well, absolutely, And this is where you can profit and

297
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 5: you can benefit from things when you're ahead of the game.

298
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 5: I would rather be six months early than one day late, right,

299
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 5: And so when Financial Times said it amazingly, well, it's

300
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 5: like this is for the little guy. Well wait a second,

301
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 5: I thought TOMP was only for the big guys and

302
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 5: only for corporate America. It's like, Hm, the actions so differently,

303
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 5: don't they. And so this is just so exciting that

304
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 5: we can finally participate in the alternative investments that big

305
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: hedge funds, that big international center, you know, monetary banks

306
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 5: globally like the Banks of America and the JP, Morton

307
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: Chase and the HSBC all do these kinds of things already.

308
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: Now we can participate in that in our four to

309
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: one case. So if you have four one ks.

310
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a real life question on this.

311
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: So the other day, literally I bought one hundred ounces

312
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: a fine silver. It's it's just a brick. It's simple,

313
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: it's basic. It's what you guys actually do. Can I

314
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: now do that moving forward? But have it in my

315
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: four to one K explain that the application of this

316
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: in layman's terms.

317
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the answer is yes, So bullion, like what

318
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 5: you're talking about, the one hundred ounces bars is solver,

319
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: the ten ounces bars of silver, the generic refinery rounds,

320
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 5: those have already been accessible in I RaSE. You do

321
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 5: that in irs, if you have an IRA, you could

322
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 5: already do that, but it was never available in four

323
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: one ks before until now, until this executive order.

324
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: So I can basically say I want to buy this,

325
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: but I want it to be in part of my

326
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: portfolio of my four to one K that I'm going

327
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: to do every single year, right, because I do it

328
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: for the tax and benefits. And I can set it

329
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: up now and just say I want part of this

330
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: to be in silver or gold.

331
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 5: Yeah. So not exactly today, but in February when this

332
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 5: becomes effective. It's going to take a while for some

333
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: of these four to one K administrators to actually build

334
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: this into their systems, right, But what can we do

335
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 5: in the meantime, So come February, there's going to be

336
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 5: a ton of demand for metals which are already running out.

337
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 5: You know LBMA just came out, which is the London depository.

338
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 5: It's where it's the depository that holds metals, gold and

339
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 5: silver for central banks and big institutions all over the world.

340
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: They basically run out of silver. They just made then

341
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 5: constense like, well, we don't have enough to cover physical

342
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 5: deliver Comax, which is the depository for North America. They're

343
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 5: running so low. This this is wild then, so they

344
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: have well over three hundred ounces of silver in futures

345
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 5: contracts paper for every one ounce of physical silver. So

346
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: it's like, how could you do that? What if somebody

347
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 5: says you're Samsung, you're Sony, your Lgae, you're Boeing or

348
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: Lockheed Martin, and you say I need physical silver, and

349
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 5: they've been hedging themselves with forward contracts to basically lock

350
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: in their prices because we need it to build missiles, torpedoes,

351
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 5: electric vehicles, solar power, whatever, lcdtvs and they want physical delivery. Well,

352
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, they have these contracts out to a

353
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: tune of over three hundred paper contracts to one physical

354
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 5: silver ounce. That that doesn't equate. They're not going to

355
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: have enough supply. So we could be seeing a massive

356
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: short squeeze in front of us. And what does that

357
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 5: mean there's not enough physical silver, and Boeing, Lockheed, Martin, Sony, Samsung,

358
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 5: all these companies are going to say, hmm, I don't

359
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: care what the price of silver is. If it's not available,

360
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: we can't have a finished product. So they're going to say, well, well,

361
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 5: silver might be trading at forty dollars ounce. Maybe they

362
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 5: say we're going to offer sixty or eighty or one hundred.

363
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: They don't care what the price is. Why, because they're

364
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 5: not going to pay for it. They pass that on

365
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 5: to the consumer, right but without silver, they don't have

366
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 5: a finished product.

367
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: Incredible.

368
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I want to make sure people can call and reach

369
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: out to you guys. This is what you do. It's

370
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: literally where I got my I did my investment around

371
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: the other day and have this. It's on my desk.

372
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm holy right now, one hundred ounces of fine silver.

373
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: I also got a little more than that, so I

374
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: have a ten ounce and a couple of the single

375
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: ounces as well. If you want to see what they do,

384
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: two dozen Republican state attorney generals have sent a letter

385
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: to the EPA chief Lee Zelden, calling on him to

386
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: cancel funding to a left wing environmental group accused of

387
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: training and lobbying judges.

388
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: On climate policy.

389
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: Fox News Digital has exclusively revealed this quote. As Attorney General,

390
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: I refuse to stand by while American tax dollars fund

391
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: radical environmental training for judges across the country. Is with

392
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the Montana Attorney General told Fox News Digital of his

393
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: push to encourage the EPA to end its funding of

394
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: the Climate Judiciary Project. Quote, the environmental Law institutes Climate

395
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: Judiciary Project is using wote climate propaganda under the guise

396
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: of what they call neutral quote unquote education to persuade

397
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: judges and push their wildly unpopular agenda through the court system.

398
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: He went on to say, I commend President Trump's efforts

399
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: to cut waste and abuse during the first eight months

400
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: of his presidency, and I am optimistic that his administration

401
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: will do the right thing and halt all funding to Eli.

402
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: Now he's spearheaded this ag The letter that was sent

403
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: to Zelden, which included the signatures of twenty two other

404
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Republican state attorney generals, all of them calling for the

405
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: EPA to acts their funding to the left wing environmental nonprofit.

406
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Now they lie and they say that this thing is

407
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: like neutral, It's not. It is called the Environmental Law Institute.

408
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: They claim they oversee the neutral importance of climate law.

409
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: In reality, they oversee the Climate Judiciary Project known as

410
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: the CJP. Now, the Environmental Law Institute was founded by

411
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: the Climate Judiciary Project in twenty eighteen, which pitches itself

412
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: as a quote first of its kind effort that provides

413
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: judges nationwide with authoritative, objective, and trusted education on climate science,

414
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: the impacts of climate change, and the ways climate science

415
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: is arising into the law. The group has actually been

416
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: accused of trying to manipulate judges to make them more

417
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: understanding or advocates or exciting to left wing climate litigation.

418
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: The letters sent Tuesday called on the EPA to specifically

419
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: end any and all grants and awards that are endowed

420
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: to this group, saying this we write to bring attention

421
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: to the grants made by the EPA to the Environmental

422
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: Law Institute. The letter reads, according to its twenty twenty

423
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: four financial statements, ELI received approximately thirteen percent of its

424
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: overall revenue in twenty twenty three and eight point four

425
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: percent in twenty twenty four from EPA awards. The group

426
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: also apparently still expected to receive funds from the federal government.

427
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: Its financial statement warned that the collectibility of federal grant

428
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: funds is subject to significant uncertainty related to collaboration and

429
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: continual funding due to the federal grant funding freeze or

430
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: other federal actions quote unquote. In other words, they knew

431
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: Trump was in office, and there's a chance these funds

432
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: could go away if they found out what they were

433
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: actually doing with the money. Now, the Environmental Law Institute

434
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: actually received six hundred and thirty seven thousand chain from

435
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: the EPA in twenty twenty four, to be clear, that's

436
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: your tax dollars, and then eight hundred and sixty six

437
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: thousand in twenty twenty three from the EPA, again your

438
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: tax dollars. That according to the nonprofit tax documents that

439
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: have been published quote, the Climate Judiciary's project mission is clear.

440
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: Lobby judges in order to make climate change policy through

441
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: the court systems. The twenty three state Attorney Generals said

442
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: this clearly in the letter, saying quote an alumni magazine

443
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: profile said the quiet part out loud, writing that the

444
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Climate Judiciary Project co founder was explaining the science of

445
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: climate change to a group of people with real power

446
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: to act on it, judges. The Climate Judiciary Projects tampering

447
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: raises serious legal and also ethical questions. The Environmental Law Institute,

448
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: in a recent comment to Fox Digital about this story,

449
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: maintains that its only purpose is educational programs, that they

450
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: are in accordance where these standards established by the National

451
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: Judicial Education Institution. Climate Judiciary Projects educational events are done

452
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: quote in partnership with leading national judicial education institutions state

453
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: judicial authorities. Also, they claim in accordance where they're accepted standards.

454
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: That's what the spokesperson said. Well, the reality is these

455
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: are radical lefties and the call for the EPA to

456
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: slash any funds to the Environmental Law Institute is long overdue.

457
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: It was clearly established and it was established for one

458
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: purpose to get in front of judges and make judges

459
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: go hard on anyone they believe is not. You know,

460
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: woke is not saying that global warming is a fact,

461
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: that is doing anything that global warming advocates or the

462
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: anarchists say is somehow evil or hurting the earth.

463
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: That's why they're lobbying these judges.

464
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: The state attorney generals quote are right to call for

465
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: the elimination of taxpayer funding for the Environmental Law Institute

466
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: and its Climate Judiciary project. That is what Jason Eiscott,

467
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: the CEO of American Energy Institute said, saying, quote, this

468
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: is a coordinated campaign by the left to advance the

469
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: Green New Deal, and this time they want to do

470
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: it through the judiciary, using so called climate litigation in

471
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: the courts. Its curriculum is clear. It was developed by

472
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: climate alarmists and their allies of the plaintiffs and delivered

473
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: two judges behind close doors. Public funds should never be

474
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: used to finance political advocacy disguised as judicial education. Now

475
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: you also look at the executive director of the Alliance

476
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: for Consumers, that's a nonprofit focus on advocating on behalf

477
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: of American consumers.

478
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: What do they say about this quote?

479
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: As we have long warned, the left has a plan

480
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: to reshape American society by using lawsuits in the courts

481
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: all across the country, especially in places like Hawaii and

482
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: other coastal enclaves. The new wave of revelations about ELI

483
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: is further concerning evidence of how committed, they say the

484
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: left is to imposing mandatory progressive lifestyle choices through the

485
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: courtroom and are maneuvering to see how big they can

486
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: do it and how big of a threat they can

487
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: actually be to every one of our way of lives, which,

488
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: by the way, is where we should just pause. And

489
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: if you think what I'm saying is maybe crazy, let's

490
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: just go back a few months ago when there was

491
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: a guy named Joe Biden who was in theory the president.

492
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: What do they try to do? Do you remember when

493
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: they started trying to ban gas stoves? Yes, that was

494
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: the left, And how do they start that idea exact

495
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: way that we're talking about this right now. They want

496
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: to take away your rights, socide. What you want to do?

497
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: They want to take away your rights?

498
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: Socide?

499
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: What type of car you can drive? They want to

500
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: make sure that you don't have the option that they

501
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: tell you what the value set is and then you

502
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: must abide by it, and if you don't they'll literally

503
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: arrest you or find you. And this Tuesday letter specifically

504
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: argued that quote, state consumer protection laws prohibit deceptive and

505
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: misleading statements to market a product. They then say, elias

506
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: representing its training as objective when reality shows that it's not.

507
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: And the state attorney general is all twenty two of

508
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: them are responsible to say, say for protecting consumers, and

509
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: we are concerned by this activist group's statements. Now here's

510
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: the big point that you need to know. The EPA

511
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: has taken a hatchet to millions and millions of dollars

512
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: doled out under the Biden Met to left wing radical

513
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: groups and other programs deemed a waste of taxpayer funds.

514
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden also making it clear that he is going

515
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: to look at this problem and see what he can

516
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: do about it. The EPA under the Trump administration has

517
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: already canceled more than twenty billion grants under the Inflation

518
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which has led to ongoing court battles the

519
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: same courts right now that liberals are trying to indoctrinate.

520
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why the President United States America picked

521
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: lee Zelden and why there's a very good chance what

522
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: we just talked about is going to become even more

523
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: of a reality moving forward. Don't forget Share this podcast
