A Dire Warning and a Constitutional Solution: US Debt Crisis and the Future of Currency | Ep 285
Kevin Freeman highlights the gravity of America's ballooning national debt, which nears a staggering $35 trillion. With an urgency that cannot be understated, Freeman draws attention to the fiscal quicksand the country is wading into — an almost incomprehensible financial burden that has accrued rapidly over the past few decades. He underscores how this debt is not just numbers on a page — it's a growing monstrosity threatening to engulf the nation's economic stability. It doesn't stop at identifying the problem; Kevin points to a solution rooted in the nation's founding documents. The U.S. Constitution allows states to adopt gold and silver as legal tender, offering a viable alternative to the volatile fiat currency. With his book, "Pirate Money," Freeman outlines a path forward that would see gold and silver become not just valuable commodities, but practical, everyday currency, shielding citizens from the consequences of a potential monetary collapse.

Rea Hederman Jr. talks through several key recommendations from the Buckeye Institute's report to reduce the harmful economic impacts of ESG and net zero policies on farmers and the food supply. These recommendations include withdrawing from international climate accords, revoking funding and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act, building coalitions against ESG, and promoting beneficial farming practices at the local level, as alternatives to top-down government control.

The Economic War on Farmers Is Impacting Your Grocery Bill | Guest: Rea Hederman Jr. | Ep 284
The Buckeye Institute's Rea Hederman Jr. has released a report titled "Net Zero Climate Control Policies Will Fail the Farm," detailing the negative impact such policies will have on American agriculture and food prices. Hederman emphasizes that adherence to the Paris Climate Accords and the adoption of ESG mandates will lead to increased operating costs for farmers, estimated at an additional $65,000 per farm annually, and a corresponding rise in annual grocery bills for families by approximately $1,300. Citing real-world examples such as Sri Lanka, where similar policies resulted in doubled food prices and widespread shortages, the report warns of similar consequences in the U.S. The Buckeye Institute recommends withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, revoking funding and tax credits related to net zero policies, building anti-ESG coalitions, and promoting education over government mandates for sustainable farming. Hederman describes these policies as an economic war on farmers and urges the adoption of market-driven solutions over top-down governmental control.

Should the FBI be Abolished?
"Getting rid of the FBI would be a terrible policy because we need counterintelligence. We need to fight organized crime. We need to fight child trafficking, and illegal immigration, for that matter. We need a foreign intelligence service so we know what's happening around the world so our presidents can make decisions. What we don't need is an apparat that's bloated, that's lost a sense of mission, that's bureaucratic and is just looking for retirement." –J. Michael Waller

A Broken Intelligence Community - How Did We Get Here?
"It began a century ago, or even more if you think about it. So the actual operation began in 1922. It was a Soviet Bolshevik operation designed to collapse Germany after World War One. So this is before the rise of Hitler. Germany was defeated. It was divided. It was in a state of severe cultural identity crisis. So the idea was to take Karl Marx, who everybody thinks of as some sort of deranged economist, which he was. But that was the Karl Marx of 1848 when he wrote Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto. Earlier, Karl Marx of 1843 declared war on culture, Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, Western culture with family values, and the father was head of the household and the nuclear family, and a big extended family, and morals and principles and all these things." –J. Michael Waller

FBI's Operation Crossfire Hurricane Spread False Information about Trump
"One big operation begun on the watch of Comey and Peter Strzok and McCabe and the other of the Obama appointees to the FBI, was an operation called Crossfire Hurricane. It was a counterintelligence mission to hunt down foreign spies and influence ops. And it concluded and spread the rumors that Donald Trump was a Russian dupe, a Russian stooge, maybe a Russian agent, certainly a traitor to America. So, our spy resources are counterspy. Resources were devoted to hunting down and spreading this story." - J. Michael Waller

Open Borders are a Significant National Security Threat but not to the State Department
"You have you just recently you had the State Department sanctioned the conservative, Christian, pro-American, former president of Guatemala, and all these members of the Guatemalan Congress who were fighting the State Department's imposition of a Marxist system in Guatemala with all their visas were pulled. So they're being deported. But the communists and jihadis are being let in left and right." –J. Michael Waller

Should the Intelligence Agencies be Scrapped and Rebuilt
"You have the FBI dropping, you know, child trafficking cases to go bust people for First Amendment crimes as if there was ever such a thing before as a First Amendment crime. But they call it First Amendment activity is what they call it. And then you've committed a misdemeanor in the course of pursuing First Amendment activity. So it's just really creepy. What has happened to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as with the CIA, and what we see with the wokeness in the military is going on with our whole intelligence community." –J. Michael Waller

Solutions for Our Broken Intelligence Community | Guest: J. Michael Waller | Ep 283
Once upon a time, the FBI and the CIA fought America’s enemies at home and abroad. Now they are tools of a growing police state, attacking the Left’s political enemies and spying on ordinary American citizens — even parents who push back against radical public schools. How did we get here? J. Michael Waller joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about the reasons the Intelligence Community has drifted from its founding purposes and what should be done about it.

Gold has historically been a good store of value and is an answer to economic tyranny.
"I think it's a matter of education, and when people realize, the treasurers like myself realize, that the economic freedoms that are foundational to everything that we hold dear here in the United States are under. Read, that this is a viable option, that yes, absolutely, I think it's very much a serious, option that all of us treasurers should consider and consider very seriously because we are, under attack and our freedoms are threatened." - Marlo Oaks, Utah State Treasurer

Utah is working to make Transactional Gold and Silver a Reality.
"Just imagine buying some gold or silver and putting it in your state, having it guarded by the state, protected by the state, guaranteed by the state, and then going out and using a debit card like this and spending gold and silver, or maybe as an employee, getting paid in gold and silver and holding your assets there, or just another way to pay, just spending a little bit of it with a debit card and putting a little in gold, a little in silver, and a little in Federal Reserve notes, this technology exists. Representative Ken Ivory and State Treasurer Marlo Oaks are working to make this happen in Utah." -Kevin Freeman

If the Government can track purchases they can control behavior!
"Not only could the government track your money but they could turn off or, turn on with an expiration date. I mean, it is a programable voucher program, that can control behavior. and really, that's the number one concern is that this is the holy grail of control." - Marlo Oaks, Utah State Treasurer

Unprecedented Attacks on Economic Freedoms
"Economic attacks are everything from ESG to natural asset companies to central bank digital currencies. All of these things threaten our economic freedoms. The central bank's digital currency is probably the most direct and, problematic of all of them. And so really, this legislation, particularly the transactional piece of this, is meant, I think, to help us to have an alternative where we can transact without having to be beholden to a central bank digital currency."

Utah is among the leading states working on Pirate Money legislation
"Utah State Representative Ken Ivory came to a Pirate Money summit we hosted and asked a ton of questions. He saw a technology demo from Glint, and he looked through the Constitutional elements and the history of gold as money. He went back to Utah and pulled together a team of experts to examine, vet, and even challenge the idea. I traveled with colleagues to Salt Lake and was impressed with how serious he is. Now we've invited Representative Ivory, once dubbed the most dangerous conservative in state legislatures, back into the Economic War Room." -Kevin Freeman

A Golden Opportunity: Utah Racing to Be the First 'Pirate Money' State
Transactional gold and silver is an idea Kevin Freeman has worked on for decades. In August 2023 he released the book, "Pirate Money," which outlines how states can make gold and silver functional money. Now more than 20 states have begun crafting legislation to make Article 1, Section 10 gold- and silver-based legal tender a reality in their states. One state that is pushing full steam ahead is Utah. HB 348 has been introduced by state Rep. Ken Ivory (R) and is gaining significant support. Today in the Economic War Room, Kevin talks with Rep. Ivory along with Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks about the specifics of the legislation and their efforts to be first in the nation to offer a Constitutional state-based gold- and silver-backed currency.
