It is time to wake up. On this show, we cover the stories the mainstream media won't touch. Live from the Rocky Mountains, welcome to Rock Redacted with Natalie and Clayton Morris. Are you ready? Let's get uncomfortable. Welcome in everyone to the big show. We are following of course, the developing details, the ever evolving details of Israel's war against Iran and how the United States is being dragged further into this. Today on the show, we're going to look more deeply at how this is going to affect the economy. Arguably one of maybe the bloodiest days on the stock market. Down, then up, then down, then up and down. Precious metals also getting hit and then rallying. So crypto potentially hitting bottoms like where is this? And gas prices, lines for people filling up with gas. David was just saying here before we started, people lining up hour long gas lines. Right now, gas prices spiking over $3 in the United States for the first time in a while. So we'll talk with economist Peter Schiff on how a protracted war could be absolutely devastating for the US Economy.

Plus, new reports are that US Military leaders are telling troops that they are fulfilling biblical prophecy, as in get yourself riled up. The rapture is here. Here comes Armageddon, end times. I wonder how many of those soldiers realize that that's what they were signing up for. That's odd. But what does that even mean? And how are the rest of us supposed to interpret it? Whether that's theology or not, we need to understand what the hell they have their sights set on. It's terrifying.
- [02:27]
C
Is this the next crusade? I mean, is this what we're being told?
- [02:30]
A
Exactly. So we're gonna talk to Father Robinson on this. He is a Catholic priest, but he is strong on theology. So let's try and wrap our heads around this because that's terrifying. Did you have the rapture on your 2026 bingo card. So here we go. Before we do that though, we wanna tell you about our friends who sponsor the redacted podcast.
- [02:51]
C
Yes, we have a few sponsors. We don't have 30 of them like Fox News does. We just have four show. So support the sponsors that support independent media. And we want to tell you about our friends at American Financing because if you looked at your credit card statement lately, you're working 40, 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas, things that you used to be able to afford. And the credit card companies are charging you over 20% interest for that privilege. Think about that. Over 20%. It's designed basically to keep you underwater permanently. American Financing is doing something that they hate, these credit card companies absolutely hate. They're actually helping people. They have a mortgage, they have mortgage rates in the fives right now. And they're showing homeowners how to take their hard earned equity to wipe out that high interest debt. The average savings is $800 a month. One of our friends just actually told us, they're like, yeah, we called American Financing and did a refinance. Thanks to, thanks for, thanks for telling us about it. They were fantastic. That was one of our friends. We didn't even tell them about it. They just called them and now they're refinancing and they said they were absolutely fantastic. They were on it and they were able to do it like in a week and a half. It was that fast. So talk to a salary based mortgage consultant, no upfront fees, no obligation to see how much you can save. And if you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. Give American Financing a call, America's home for home loans. That's 866-890-8434 or just go to american financing.netacted and the disclaimer, here's their NMLS number, 22334. Or you can check it out by going into nmlsconsumeraccess.org and APR rates in the five start at 6.196% for well qualified borrowers. Again, that phone number, 866-890- 8434 for details.

Well, Israel's war against Iran is not going as planned. As if there was really any plan at all from the beginning. There wasn't. The US generals that spoke up and tried to warn the President that the US cannot sustain any kind of long term conflict were fired a few weeks ago. And even US Admirals speaking out about our inability to carry out and prosecute this war. But those people are being marginalized and they're being called doomers. Yeah. U.S. admirals. Okay. And a former NATO supreme commander. He's a doomer. Most of our missile stores have been exhausted in the CIA MI6 proxy war in Ukraine. That is a fact, not speculation. And we learned Monday night that the US military intends to send additional forces to the Middle east to put more Americans in harm's way. A number of Americans have already been killed. Many more that the Pentagon is keeping quiet. When will the Pentagon come forward and admit the truth about the Amer? The Americans that have already been killed? The White House saying that bigger attacks on Iran are also coming. So that's the human toll of this War. There's also massive growing economic toll. Trump loves to boast about the economy, gas prices, the stock market. But all of that is changing rapidly and they are. As we speak, we're hearing that Iraq will be forced to cut its oil production by more than 3 million barrels a day per day in a few days if oil tankers cannot move freely through the Strait of Hormuz, they can't. Now that Iran has halted all of that traffic through there, it's a complete bottleneck. As of Tuesday, Iraq has decreased production from two different oil fields. What about the insurance side of this? Maritime insurers have canceled the war risk coverage, so that could also spike energy costs. You know, move ships through there. Sorry, your insurance plan is no longer valid. Meanwhile, Israel attacked the Saudi Aramco oil facility in Ras Tenora in an apparent false flag operation, trying to make it look like an Iranian operation. And we're learning more about that. Meanwhile, the markets are now taking a massive hit. In one of the bloodiest days, the stock market. Since March of 2020, gas prices have now jumped back over $3 a gallon in many places. Oh, and the housing mortgage rates also jumped back up thanks to this war. So all of that to say that every metric Trump loves to tell us that the economy is going well, or Pam Bondi and Epstein hearings. The dow is over 550,000. Forget about Epstein. The Dow is over 50,000. All of these indicators are now taking a beating. Peter Schiff is the chief economist, global strategist at Euro Pacific, chairman of Schiff Gold, and who has one of the keenest eyes on all of this. And we wanted to have Peter on the show. Peter, great to see you again. Welcome back to the show.
- [09:03]
E
Well, thanks for having me back on. And yeah, you know, this war is going to be a very convenient scapegoat for the President, which is probably the main reason that we're fighting it. But, you know, oil prices were already rising before the war. They were up about 20% on the year. Now they're up a lot more than that. But, you know, we had already seen the lows in gas prices, and I think they were headed much higher, as were all prices. But now I think the big uptick in inflation in 2023, I mean, 2026, I think 2026 was already set to be the biggest increase in the CPI since 2022. But now Trump's going to be able to blame that on the war. And even though, you know, he, you know, basically decided to have the war, he'll be able to claim that he had no choice there. So it'll be a way to divert attention from that. Plus, the economy, I think, was already weakening. The GDP numbers were collapsing. Jobs were disappearing. And so now he has another scapegoat for that.
- [10:13]
C
You're a gold bug. I'm a big investor in gold and silver. So when you look at these numbers today, just gold prices, why are they in the red over the past few days here? I mean, why are we seeing this on the gold and silver market?
- [10:28]
E
Well, the markets have a tendency to anticipate events. And I think it was no secret over the last several weeks that we were going to do something with Iran. The odds of an attack were increasing on betting markets. They were talking about it. There was a lot of troop movement going on. Ships were moving. So I think that gold was being bought ahead of this in anticipation. Gold. A couple of days ago, just before the war started on Friday, gold was 5250, and it got above 5400 initially on Sunday night. And I think what happened is the people who bought gold in anticipation of the war sold on the news, buy the rumor, sell the fact. It's a classic trading pattern, and I think that's what's happening. But I think it's important to point out that as we're speaking, gold is still above $5,000 an ounce. Gold is still where this was a record just a few months ago. So gold is still way up. And I think once the noise is over from the short term trading, gold is just going to resume its climb and it's going to hit new highs because wars are bullish for gold, mainly because of the way they're financed. Governments tend to pay for wars by creating inflation. They run bigger deficits to pay for the wars, but instead of raising taxes on the citizens, which would make the wars even less popular, they rely on the central banks to print more money. And so you end up with inflation. And that's what ultimately drives gold, is inflation. And so we're going to have higher inflation because of this war. And that's a positive for gold legend,
- [12:25]
C
you know him well. Eric Sprott in the silver sector, legend in the silver markets says that he, he thinks $300 an ounce for silver is very reasonable. It's at $83 right now. So what about silver at this moment?
- [12:44]
E
Yeah. Well, silver is more volatile than gold, and it took a while longer for it to move. And silver had a big move this year. It went from about 30 bucks up to over 120. So it had a fourfold increase, which not only caught up with gold, it caught up, surpassed it. And then gold had a. Silver had a big pullback. And right now it's in the low 80s. But I think what's significant about silver is that it's taken out the $50 resistance that kind of overhung the market going back to 1980. So I think we've had a significant breakout in silver, and I agree with Eric Sprott that prices are going a lot higher. Eventually, sure, silver will be $300 an ounce. I mean, but I don't know how long that's going to take. It may not be in the next several years, but obviously it's going to go there eventually. Just because the dollar is losing so much of its value, you're going to need more dollars to buy everything, not just silver. But I think silver is going to make a new high above the 121 that it hit earlier in the year. And it could easily do that before the end of this year. But if not, if silver just gets to 110 this year, that's still a huge gain. And, you know, it could get to 150 next year or more. But, but 300 is not an outrageous forecast. But, you know, obviously if it happens, Eric Sprott's going to be a lot richer than he is now, and so am I. I don't think I'll be able to catch up to him, but I'll, but I'll. But, but I'll make some pretty good gains on the typical, the typical investor.
- [14:17]
D
Yeah.
- [14:18]
C
Well, I just wanted to talk about gold and silver first because we're big proponents of it here on the show. So with that out of the way, let's talk more about the war and let's talk about oil. And then I want to talk more about the. Which you just brought up. So export disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz slow down. That pushed storage to critical levels in Iraq's southern ports, of course. So a lot of these ships that are sitting there that can't even get into the ports, how big a cut in supply in terms of actual global production right now and the need for oil? So where do you see oil prices, gas prices going, based on what's happening?
- [14:51]
E
Oil prices were already cheap. Remember when we started the year oil was below 60, it was around 55, $56 a barrel, which was ridiculously cheap. As we're talking now, it's about $76. So it's risen now 40% or so on the year, but it's still relatively cheap. And so I think oil prices have a lot of room to go up from here. But this particular war has the potential to really disrupt oil supply and that is the problem. And central bank money printing is going to stoke demand. So if we have more demand and less supply, we're going to have much higher prices. I mean, this is a war in the Middle east, in Iran, but it's already involving other oil producing nations and so we have no idea what facilities are going to get bombed, what refining capacity could be lost. We know they've already stopped ships, I don't know that they're not physically preventing ships from crossing the Straits of Hormuz, but the ships won't go there because they don't have any insurance anymore. Nobody wants to risk getting sunk. So the ships are all anchored, so oil's not moving. You know, this obviously is gonna be very disruptive to, you know, to, to the oil market.
- [16:22]
C
Where do you see like a step up in production to cover this shortfall right now? Would it be in Venezuela?
- [16:29]
E
I think there already was a lot of production. I don't know that there was a bunch of spare capacity, you know, in the U.S. you know, in Canada. I think obviously if prices go high enough, yeah, that will unlock some, you know, some production because, you know, we're a relatively high producer, so is Canada, for oil. So to really get a lot of extra production, we need higher prices to justify the cost. But the higher prices need to be sustainable because if you're a US producer and oil spikes, but you don't have any confidence that the spike is going to last, you're not going to spend the money to ramp up the production because the high prices might not be there by the time the oil hits the market. So it's going to be difficult. So I could easily see oil prices upwards of $100 a barrel, maybe quite a bit higher, especially the longer this, this goes on. Right.
- [17:33]
C
You've been predicting obviously a massive crash. I don't know if we're in it now or do you think that this is what we're seeing now is exacerbating that? Do you think that the US can sustain like a 90 day crash like we saw in 2008, some sort of a big, a big setback? Are we in a position to be able to sustain that?
- [17:56]
E
Well, I don't think we've had much of a decline in the markets. I mean, even though the markets are down today, I mean, it's not that big. I mean, the Dow has already paired its losses, cut them in half from where it was earlier this morning, you know, from down 1200 to down 600. But even when it was down 1200, you know, you're like two and a half percent. I mean, that's not a big drop. And, you know, we're still barely below 49,000, so we're not that far off of the record high in the Dow. And of course, you know, similar story, the S and P. Nasdaq's a little bit more below its high, but of course, the NASDAQ had a much bigger move up than the Dow. So I don't think the markets have even begun to price in the negative possibilities that could be the result of this war. Plus, there's a lot of other negatives that the markets weren't pricing in anyway. I mean, we were looking at some serious economic and financial problems, and we had probably the most overvalued market in our history. So the market has been priced for perfection. And clearly what we have isn't even close to perfection when you factor in the war. Now, there may be some people that somehow are naive enough to think that there's just gonna be this great outcome of this war, right? That we're just gonna quickly get rid of this horrible regime, and Iran is now going to be run by much more sensible people who are finally going to be friendly to everybody. It's gonna be like a free market, and everything is gonna be great. We're gonna have peace in the Middle East. And that is ridiculous. Even if we succeed in completely obliterating the current regime, how do we know that the regime that replaces it, that fills that vacuum that we create, won't be even worse than the one that we just got rid of? You know, there's an expression, the devil you know, right? And that's generally true. And, you know, when you declare war on a country and you kill a lot of people in that country, not just soldiers, you know, a lot of civilians get killed as well. You know, you really create a lot of animosity, you know, so the people who hated America in Iran are gonna have more reason to hate America after the war than before. We think, oh, they're all gonna be celebrating the liberation. That usually is not the case. You end up creating even more enemies and enabling them to raise up more people against you. I mean, look, you know, look at the reports of the girls that died in this school. You know, what about their, their brothers? And, you know, you don't think they're going to be Pissed that they lost their sister. I mean, it doesn't matter. I mean, you could say, well, you know, it's, you know, they were hiding weapons. I have no idea. But it doesn't, it doesn't change the fact that these people are dead and their relatives are not going to forget that. And they're, and they're not going to forget, you know, who killed them.
- [21:15]
C
Oh, exactly. So this idea that they're going to give up their energy infrastructure, I mean, the list of things from Steve Witkoff was, I mean, it was like something right out of an Israeli playbook. Disavow all the allies in the region, so you can't have any friends anymore. You have to give up any energy production and nuclear power production in your country, and you have to basically kowtow to the United States. That's essentially what Steve Witkoff was going in there with. And it's not going to happen. So now we're in this protracted war which could continue for many, many months, if not years. Iran is prepared for it. Weapons underground, thousands of Navy ships, small Navy ships, through the Straits of Hormuz. Like, this is not going to be something that wraps up in four days, despite what the Secretary of War would like us to believe. So how can the US dollar, like, if we bring it back to the economy, how can the US Dollar be looked at if the US can't win this war decisively?
- [22:15]
E
Yeah, look, and I don't even know what winning the war means. I mean, can we bomb them into submission? I suppose, you know, we can keep dropping bombs until we run out. And, you know, one of the reasons that all the defense contractors have been rallying is because they're anticipating that the, you know, Washington is gonna be buying more ammunition from them.
- [22:38]
D
Right.
- [22:38]
C
Another 20 year war. Like another 20 year war. That'll make them happy.
- [22:43]
E
But I don't think we can win it in the sense that they have claimed are the objectives. We have a lousy track record every time we go to war in the Middle East. And the classic definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and expect a different result. I don't expect a different result in Iran. It's going to be the same thing that happens all the time. You know, every war takes a lot longer than they claim. You know, they thought that the war with Russia and Ukraine was going to be over quickly. How many years has that been going on? That was supposed to be wrapped up quickly. And of course, if we're going to believe the stated objectives of this war, there is no way we could achieve those objectives unless we have troops on the ground in Iran. There's just no other way to do it. And so then what's gonna happen? I mean, we're gonna put our troops there and how are we gonna get them out? I mean, we got trapped in Iraq, how long we were there? How about Afghanistan? Look, you know, Trump actually not only did he campaign against this kind of stuff, even before he was a candidate, he was publicly against this kind of stuff. You know, these regime change wars and these forever wars and getting involved in the Middle East. He was the peace candidate. He was like, vote for me so we don't have any war. Right? He said, well, you better not vote. You better not vote for Harris because that's a vote to go to war with Iran. Well, some people voted for Harris, and yes, we're going to war with Iran, even though Harris didn't win.
- [24:34]
C
Oh, and he was tweeting regularly about how people would use Iran as a distraction. Use a war against Iran as a distraction. He said, watch out, Obama's gonna use this. Use a potential war against Iran as a distraction.
- [24:47]
E
Yes. He actually told people that he thought that a great distraction is starting a war with Iran. That was already his opinion, cuz he had expressed it, that, hey, if you need a distraction, if you're ineffective as a leader, if you can't negotiate, then, well, you start a war. So he already believes that that is something that you do. And now he's gone and done it. And, you know, it's not a coincidence. Again, a lot of stuff was going on. The economy was bad, even though he was claiming it was great. All the data was showing that the economy was weakening, inflation was rising. He just had the tariffs, his signature policy, you know, declared unconstitutional, and rightly so, by the Supreme Court. And, you know, the Epstein files were becoming very embarrassing for the Trump administration. And so if Trump needed a distraction, it's right now. And now all of a sudden, nobody's talking about Epstein. No one's talking about the labor market or the weakening economy. They're talking about the war. And now Donald Trump becomes a wartime president. And a lot of presidents want to be a wartime president because Americans tend to want to rally around the commander in chief during a war. They want to support the troops. They want to support the commander of the troops. It really helped Bush out quite a bit initially. His popularity soared when we were in war. So I think Trump understands that wartime presidents are popular. And I think, you know, so he wanted to be a wartime President. So started a war.
- [26:51]
C
Well, we didn't have the, we didn't have the false flag this time, like the 911 false flag to drag us into a forever war. So now, yeah, and look, that was
- [27:00]
E
supposed to be about weapons of mass destruction, which we, we all know is a lie, was a lie at the time. That's why I think, you know, I don't think Trump was being honest when he said that we had to attack Iran because they were about to attack us. That's what he said today at a press conference. He said we struck them because if we didn't strike them, they were about to strike us. I just don't believe that Iran would have been dumb enough to do that also.
- [27:25]
C
They didn't have the capacity to do it. They didn't have the. Even despite Mark Levin lying on television, they didn't have the capacity to strike the United States.
- [27:33]
E
So of course they could never strike the mainland. But could they have, you know, fired a missile into one of our bases in the Middle East? Sure, but there's no way they would have done that. I mean, they would not have, like they're attacking now our bases, let's say in Saudi Arabia, which of course has really angered the Saudis because now you have Iranian missiles coming into Saudi Arabia. Of course they're aimed at US military targets that are in Saudi Arabia, but there's no way, I think that Iran would have risked that they would not have fired missiles into Saudi Arabia preemptively. I think the only reason they did it is because we hit them first and now they're like, well, we gotta defend ourselves, we're being attacked. Not that I'm defending Iran, I'm just saying we put them in a position where they were able to do that. But I don't believe that had we not attacked them, they would just launch those missiles into Saudi Arabia. No, cuz they know that's gonna piss off Saudi Arabia. Plus it's gonna piss off us and it would have made America the good guy. Right. If they attacked us, that would be a completely different circumstance.
- [28:45]
C
Oh yeah, that's why we love false judgment.
- [28:47]
E
Yeah. We would be completely justified in defending ourselves. And in fact, one of the criticisms I have against Trump for doing this, and of course I criticized the Democrats when the Democrats did this too, is that it's unconstitutional because the President doesn't have the power to declare war. Congress is supposed to do that. And if the President wanted to declare war, he should have brought it up to Congress to deliberate on it and to Vote on it. And to say that, well, we needed to preserve the element of surprise. That's a bunch of bullshit. Everybody knew that something was gonna happen, but the Constitution, the framers of the Constitution obviously knew that it could screw up the surprise if we have to vote on declaring war before we do it. But they thought that that was worth it because they didn't want to allow one man on his own whim to take the country into war. And there are people that say, well, the president is the commander in chief. Yes, but he can't command the troops into a war. Congress has to do that. Once Congress does that, yes, then he can command the troops in war, but Congress has to declare it. But had Iran attacked us first? Oh, okay. Well, then it's like he's allowed to defend us. He's allowed to retaliate immediately. He doesn't have to seek congressional authority to fight back when we've already been attacked. Now, a broader resolution on war would still be required, but we would have been the good guys under, you know, and there's no way Iran was going to allow us to have that high ground. Right. I mean, why would they want to create sympathy for the United States by attacking us?
- [30:34]
C
Right.
- [30:35]
E
Especially since they know that we've got the superior armed forces. I mean, it'd be ridiculous to, to attack us knowing. Knowing that we've got this huge military. I mean, how could they possibly compete with our military, you know?
- [30:53]
C
Well, and the ship has already sailed once we attacked them over the summer. So we preemptively attacked them over the summer to take out their nuclear.
- [31:01]
E
We attacked them. We did say that. Look, don't retaliate. That's all we're going to do. Right. Just did this one thing, and if you guys are cool with it, we're cool. You know, we're not gonna do anything.
- [31:16]
D
Right.
- [31:17]
E
And they were like, they basically accepted it. They didn't retaliate. They had some, you know, retaliation. They did for show. They fired some missiles at nothing. And they even told us, hey, by the way, we're gonna launch these missiles. Don't worry, we're not gonna hit you. So they did something to save face, but they basically let it slide as far as I can tell.
- [31:39]
C
I mean, this whole charade now, I mean, now we're past the point of charade, because now actual people are being killed and the United States is committing more troops to this region. So from an economic standpoint, I mean, look, the, the, the US Housing market is completely frozen right now. It's kind of uncomfortable.
- [31:58]
E
The housing market is frozen because houses are overpriced. So prices have to come down. But that creates a whole new problem because now a bunch of people lose their home equity and they, they stop making their mortgage payments. And now the banks are in trouble because, you know, they've got a defaulted mortgage and they, you know, if they sell the property, they're not going to get their money back. So yeah, we got a lot of problems and the war is just going to make those problems worse.
- [32:24]
C
What are the biggest. I'll get you out of here on this, Peter, but what do you think the biggest problems are right now for the US economy and then layering the war on top of this?

Well, the biggest problem is that we've got too much debt and we're too dependent on the rest of the world to finance that debt and to supply us with the goods that we don't produce. We have a completely dysfunctional bubble economy that was the result of decades of bad monetary and fiscal policy that allowed this type of consumer based consumption and debt fueled economy to develop in the first place. But now we just have massive asset bubbles and a leveraged financial system and basically insolvent banking system and a bloated federal government and all this stuff is going to come collapsing down and we have overvalued stock market, real estate market, bond market. We are in major trouble. And the war just compounds that because we now need to fight the war. And wars are expensive, wars are just more government spending and so that's even more debt. But they also are problematic for the economy for all sorts of other reasons like what we're talking about disruption of key supply, like the supply of oil. The only potential way it helps is if we get a big inflow into the dollar. And the dollar's rallying today. And the dollar was falling and it looked pretty weak and now it's got a two day rally so far off of this war. If the war in the short run strengthens the dollar, that will help. But the dollar is a bubble too. And I think any strength in the dollar that is related to the war will be temporary. And I think ultimately the dollar is going a lot lower and the war will just be another factor driving it lower because again, the war drives bigger deficits, higher inflation, and that's bad for the dollar. Of course it puts more pressure on the Fed to print more money to prop everything else, everything up. And that is also dollar negative.

C
How can people. Final question here, Peter. How can viewers who are watching right now protect their Families financially right now is it through gold and silver where the best upside for people to protect themselves during this war and just crappy economy.
- [34:55]
E
Silver, I think gold and silver are going to do well. Gold is, you know, close to 5,000 an ounce now. A little bit, you know, still trading between 5,000 and 5,100. I think, you know, around 5,000 or just below that's really the support. So I don't think you're going to see gold go much lower than that. Silver is now in the low 80s. Silver probably has a little bit more downside into the low 70s than gold. But who knows, I mean maybe silver will just rally from here. But I think precious metals are going to be good hedges, they're going to be have good returns. I think the mining stocks are going to be even better and they're getting really beaten up today even though they are so profitable at the gold prices after the sell off. In fact, even if gold and silver prices fell substantially from here, these gold and silver mining stocks would still be ridiculously cheap. So I think they're a great investment opportunity. We have a lot of strategies at Euro Pacific Asset Management that focus on the mining sector. So you can talk to our representatives@europact.com on separately managed accounts in that sector. I also manage a gold fund people could buy at no load at any discount broker. Epgix is our gold fund which invests in mining stocks, not physical gold. But I think also the key is to recognize that money is going to be leaving the U.S. i think for many, many years to come. Last year the returns on foreign stocks were about triple the returns on the S and P. And the outperformance so far this year is even greater than it was last year on a percentage basis. So I think this is early in the movement of money out of US assets into foreign assets into emerging markets. And we've got great investment strategies at my asset management company to capture that. We specialize in overseas investments in value in dividend paying stocks and I expect them to deliver incredible returns especially from a US dollar investors perspective in the years ahead. So we have, you know, we have a number of mutual funds. You can get information on all those funds at the Europeac website, your pack.com or you can speak to our representatives specifically about our strategies and how we can help you incorporate them into your portfolio.
- [37:20]
C
Awesome. Well Peter Schiff, great to see you as always as we are a few days into this war and we'd love to have you back as this thing unfolds. I do not think it's going to end quickly. That's, that's for dancing.
- [37:32]
E
Yeah, unfortunately that's probably the case. I mean, I always hope for the best though. Hopefully, you know, there can be a quick resolution. But, but you know, history, you know, is, is not our friend here as far as, as far as that's concerned. This, it always takes much, much longer than anybody thinks. Right. And you know, you, you, who knows, you know, it's like, it's like, you know, opening up a can of worms. I mean, you don't know what the hell is going to come out of. Right. And everybody's always surprised. And then one thing happens and it leads to another thing and another thing and you have no idea what all the unattended consequences could be when you do something like this. That's why it's best to just leave well enough alone. As bad as Iran was, I mean, I think that we had it contained. I don't think they were as big a threat as they're being held out. Not that I'm defending the regime, not that I think they're good guys, cuz they're not.
- [38:35]
C
But why is it our responsibility? Right? Exactly.
- [38:38]
E
But the thing is. But we could be making the situation worse. That's what history shows, right? We go in there, we stir up a hornet's nest and then who the hell knows who gets stung? We probably could have just contained them. What Trump did with that Operation Hammer and blowing that up, I mean, why can't we just do stuff like that? This doesn't make any sense to me.
- [39:08]
C
Yeah, well, we could be looking at another 20 years war, that's for sure. Peter Schiff, thank you so much. Thanks for your analysis. And this thing obviously still very, very fluid. Thanks as always. We really appreciate it, Peter.
- [39:21]
E
All right, take care.
- [39:22]
C
So our thanks to Peter. Great to see him as always. So I guess Peter's bottom line is our economy was already in the shitter.
- [39:29]
A
Yeah.
- [39:29]
C
And now the war just adds a whole extra layer of crap on top of it. Makes it even worse.
- [39:33]
A
That's when you need a plumber. Yeah, that sounds, that's the visual I got from that.
- [39:38]
C
Yeah.
- [39:39]
A
Okay. Backed up toilet. Okay. In Tijuana. All right, coming up, we're going to talk about what the heck is happening. The Cradle is reporting that military leaders are saying to their troops that the war in Iran is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. This is the book of Revelation. So get fired up guys, because you're in the front lines. We're going to fulfill biblical prophecy. Is that what they signed up for, you think? Remember, I mean, when we had this military surge when Trump was elected last year, people felt like, oh, good, the military is no longer woke. Oh, good, we're going to be strong again. We're not taking trans hormones. We're doing push ups. I don't think they thought, like, yes, let's bring about biblical end of times.
- [40:21]
C
Yeah, Crusades. Like, that's what we're doing here. Because that's going to end well. Carry on 100 years war. That's the plan. Like, we're now the Knights Templar.
- [40:30]
D
Good job, guys.
- [40:31]
A
Right.
- [40:32]
C
We've come full circle.
- [40:33]
A
Yeah.
- [40:33]
D
Well.
- [40:33]
C
And you heard. I mean, who did we speak to
- [40:35]
D
the other day that told.
- [40:35]
C
I think it was Colonel Dan Davis who told us, you know, our strength during the Gulf war was about 800,000American troops. 800,000 when we launched that war. It's now, we're now at about 450,000. And the White House is admitting that they're sending more troops into the Middle east right now. We don't have the forces.
- [40:53]
A
Right.
- [40:54]
C
We don't have the resources to carry out a crusade.
- [40:56]
A
Well, and again, that kind of talk makes it seem like your life, your death. This is. This is jihadist talk. Like, you go to your death, bring about the prophecy. Right. Okay, that's. I didn't know we were doing that. I want to talk to Father, what
- [41:12]
C
about all the Christians right now? I mean, there's millions of Christians that live. Almost over a million Christians that live in Iran, and there's countless Christian churches all through Iran. Like, how does that factor into this, by the way?
- [41:27]
A
Well, we're going to ask Father Robinson coming up here in just a minute because I want to not just say, oh, I don't like this, but understand, what the hell do they mean? I want to know, like, put myself in their shoes, if I thought this, then what? So that's how I'd like to approach this. So buckle up. But before we do that, I want to tell you about our friends over at Shopify, because Shopify is an e commerce platform that you need. They have everything you need to grow your business. And in fact, what you're looking at there is the redacted store which runs on Shopify. Now, how do you know that whenever you're on the web, you see that purple shop pay button. When you see that, you know that the store you're on runs on Shopify. And gladly. So because Shopify makes it so easy. They can handle payment acceptance, they can handle fulfillment, they can handle graphic design. They make your store beautiful. They can launch in just seconds and they have customer support around the clock. So sign up for a one month trial period today by going to shopify.com redacted they have everything you need. They are your commerce expert with world class expertise and everything. So you don't need to be an expert in that. Just be an expert in whatever your store is. Again, Shopify.com redacted the Cradle reports that US soldiers are being told that they are carrying out biblical prophecy with this war in Iran. Specifically, they're being told that the war is God's divine plan, allegedly claiming that President Trump was anointed by Jesus to ignite Armageddon. Now they're saying that military leaders because of this have unrestricted euphoria portraying the assault on Iran as biblically sanctioned, tied to end of times prophecy from the Book of Revelation. While this might be exciting for some, it is the opposite for the soldiers. They're basically telling them that their death is ordained by God. I think it's safe to assume most of them did not sign up for fulfilling biblical prophecy. In fact, if you recall back when military enrollment went up after President Trump was inaugurated in 2025, most of the rhetoric was around, oh good, the military is no longer woke. You know, we're going to be able to do push ups. No more trans ideology and we're going to secure our own border. That's what they thought that they would be doing. And President Trump also promised to end forever wars. Now he's specifically saying on his truth platform, we can fight this war forever. We have the ammunitions. What's not being said here is do we have the soldiers where we're willing, we're willing to use what we've got. Now this biblical bit, I wanted to ask Father Robinson about this. Like what do they mean? What specifically do they mean? Now this is not my personal philosophy, but I want to understand why someone would put other people's lives in danger in order to affect their own religious belief, especially considering we are a country that has freedom of religion. So, Father Robinson, I know you're not a Christian Zionist by far, but I do want you to help me break down the theology. So can we pretend for a little bit put ourselves in the minds of these people to understand what the heck they're talking about?
- [44:43]
D
Absolutely. It's an important question, Natalie, and let me just say I do not believe any of this before anyone clips it. The idea is amongst Zionists and dispensationalists and these evangelicals that have been swept under the spell of modern day Judaism is that there has to. We have to bring about the end times ourselves. And this has to happen in Israel through the, the slaughter of Red Heers, the building of the Third Temple. And then the Jews believe that that will bring about their Messiah. Now the closest thing we can see in Revelation for Christians is this will bring about the Antichrist. So this is why I always get concerned when there are people who consider themselves Christians supporting this ideology. But we learn from Revelation, which is a difficult part of the Bible, that there'll be wars, there'll be plagues, pestilence and famine. There will be trials and tribulations in the final days. And so it seems that they want to bring all of this about by supporting Israel in their building of the Third Temple and the sacrificing the heifer and supporting them in any wars and in essence bringing about the Antichrist. I can't think of anything less Christian. But the idea that we are the ones who bring about prophecy and not God himself who prophesied it is, is bizarre to me as well. The Christian teaching is, is different to all of this. The Christian teaching is we've been in the end times since Christ's death passion, well, his passion, death and resurrection. And we are in the end times. And towards the final days we will have these trials and tribulations and we will have a mass apostasy and we'll have people believing false teachings. So we're seeing some of Revelation come true. Absolutely, in that people are believing things that aren't Christian faith that aren't Christian teaching. But the idea that we are responsible for it and we can bring it about seems to be a testing or a tempting of God. Which is something that Christians are called not to do.
- [46:40]
A
Right, Exactly. It's the agency here. I mean, I understand because I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness. So we have an end of times theology or Jehovah's Witnesses do. And you can get very impatient while waiting for that, if that is your worldview. And so this idea that someone might jump the gun or. I mean, I can't, I can't fit it in because Iran didn't attack first. So I can't. It's not a response. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
- [47:15]
D
In Christian theology we have this thing called just war, where you're able to protect your family, your parish, your nation. That's seen as a good thing. And in defense you can kill an invading enemy. And that's a good thing because you're protecting those people who are important to you. What you can't do is preemptively strike or start wars or go firing missiles at other nations or killing other world leaders. That is not just war, that's evil in Christian theology. And so again, I struggle to see how Christians can think this is okay politically. They may like it. You know, I don't like Islam. I think Islam is an evil ideology. Doesn't mean I think we can go around to every pre Islamic country and start bombing them like. And people say, but the Crusade is the Crusade. Yeah, that's a good example because Christians in the west, in Christendom were being attacked by Muhammadans and they wrote to the Pope and said, we need to defend ourselves. You need to come and defend your Christian people. We need to be able to get to the Holy Land without being murdered. And so the Pope said, okay, we'll launch crusades. A defensive tactic, a defensive strategy. Very different to what we're seeing now. Christians should not be behind foreign intervention and foreign wars in the way that we're seeing today. And to hear that the commanders are pushing this as she as God somehow ordained Donald Trump, I didn't see any anointing process. When did that happen with the oils and the priests? I didn't see that. But to say that Trump is an anointed for this purpose and this is a God ordained war, that is very, very troubling language. But it just shows how dangerous Zionism and dispensationalism are because they are a false teaching, a heretical theology. It's people in error, but it's infesting the political sphere too. In the people who should be politicians and or military personnel are being fed a theology that is not Christian and it's, they're using it to justify evil. And that's not good. It's the opposite of good.
- [49:06]
A
Right. And when you think about what we're told about Islam is that suicide bombers are told to fulfill their death in order to get their virgins in the afterlife. And you know, this may be a misinterpretation, but this is our modern telling of it, is that your death is worth something in order to affect the death of others. That's this, that's the language that I see here. I've never seen it before. As a Christian. Can you respond to that?
- [49:37]
D
Yes, absolutely. Because this is the fundamental difference between Christianity and Islam. The first Mohammedans killed for their faith. And therefore it's a faith, it's a faith of dominance. It's a faith of warfare. It's not a faith really. It's an ideology. It's an evil ideology for that purpose, without getting into pedophilia of it all, they are warmongers. They go and kill for their ideology. All the first Christians died for their faith. That is the difference. A Christian martyr is someone who died for their faith. A Islamic martyr is someone who killed for their faith and then died as a result. They are two very, very different things. We as Christians should not be killing for our faith, but we are okay to die for it in extreme circumstances that will give us martyrdom. But whereas the Mohammedans, they are very different. We do not have suicide bombers in Christianity. We don't have kamikaze in Christianity. We don't have preemptive strikes and missile strikes on foreign wars. And Christianity, it's just not part of our faith. It's the wrong ideology. It is foreign. It's wrong, it's error, it's heresy. And we need to avoid it because it's leading us astray.
- [50:37]
A
But the Book of Revelations does describe widespread conflict, famine and chaos. And this fits that pattern. It also speaks of, you know, Gog and Magog. Can you, can you get yourself into the mind of someone who can see this playing out and explain it?
- [51:00]
D
And it's happening. Yeah, this is, it's happening across the board. So it's not just coming from America or Christendom or the West. It's also coming from Israel. I've seen clips this week of Net and Yahoo saying, you know, we're going to kill Amalek. It's like what they're doing is they're, they're using, they're twisting scriptures or using scriptures for their own advancement, political advancement. There is, there's nothing in the scriptures that says we must go to war with the world Persians or with Iran. And to say that Iran is Amalek suggests that Israel, the, the, the state of Israel from 1948, the new, the modern government of Israel somehow believe this is a religious war. Now, I can, I can just about understand how they think that. But for us over here in America to think that means we somehow believe that we're fighting on behalf of Christ. So what does Revelation say? A final trial and tribulation. Wars, rumors of wars, global upheavals, big global powers. But it never says we should join any of these things. It says we are as Christians to persevere through these things. That's the final trial and tribulation. It says that, that teachers of the faith will go Astray, it says, there'll be great apostasy, but we are to adhere to the truth as we've always known it. And Christ says, behold, I am with you always until the end of the age. We've got to trust in our faith amidst our suffering that he's with us. We don't go out there and join in with the Antichrist. And if this is the end times, if this is the final days, then the one who's leading us to war, the one who's leading all the. What do they call them? Rumors of wars. Wars, global upheavals. The one who's doing all that stuff is in the spirit of the Antichrist, not of Christ. And so our job is to avoid all of that.
- [52:42]
A
So in your interpretation, the person who started this war, it will suffer the most, if I understand what you just said.
- [52:51]
D
Absolutely. And our job is to avoid joining in with that. This is a battle between hope and vigilance. Like we are to be vigilant in our faith, and we're to have hope that Christ is coming in his perusia, in his second coming, he'll come down from the clouds or with us joining, join him. But in that final judgment day, in that final judgment, he will test. He will look at our faith and say, were we true to our faith or did we go and apostatize with everyone else? We've had 2,000 years of Christian teaching. Now, in the last hundred years, much of that has been warped. This is what dispensationalism is. It's this idea that, you know, there's a dual covenant. Now somehow people in the state of Israel are saved as well as Christians being saved. There's two covenants going in parallel simultaneously. Whereas the Christian faith has always taught there's one covenant, right? There's the. The Old Testament was fulfilled in the New Testament. The Old Covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is the fulfillment. Now, that's just not to say. Again, I have to explicitly say this, but that's not to say that Christians are replacing Jews as God's chosen people. That's to say that God's chosen people is everyone with faith in Jesus Christ. And from the time of the Bible, or even before the time of the Bible of the time of Christ, there were Jews who followed him and Gentiles who also followed him, grafted into that route amongst the Jews, and together they became followers of Christ. We now call them Christians for simplicity's sake. You know, it was a disparaging remark that people made back in the day. But we took ownership of it, as we often do. I think today we probably should take ownership of the word goy because it's used in much the same way. But the point being that Jew and the Gentile together are God's chosen people. Christ fulfilled the covenant. He is the seed of Abraham. And if we are in him, if we have faith in him, we are also joint heirs. That means that anything, any promises God made in that covenant are for us. We are God's chosen people. And that's the truth. And now for the last hundred years or so, through John Darby and Scofield, there's been a mass twisting, which is leading people to a great apostasy. Loads of evangelicals in this country believe that there are two sets of people, or even that Christians are a lesser set of people beneath God's chosen people. Then what do you think we are as Christians? What do you think we are as people with faith in the one true living God. It is a. It's. We're going astray. So maybe we are reaching those end times. Maybe we are living through Revelation.
- [55:09]
A
Right? I just finished the Jack Canfield book about Scofield Bible. Did you know that he was funded by Wall Street? Did you know that?
- [55:18]
D
I didn't know that, but I can believe that.
- [55:19]
A
Okay, so this is why I think this comes together, because Revelation does talk about no one can buy or sell without the mark, which we can interpret as digital currencies. You know, war driven financial consolidation. How this will be a power grab for the globalists, for the Epstein class, I can see that as something happening and desirable. So I'll just tell you what I read in the book, is that Scofield, he has this really strange past. And so the Scofield Bible is what informs evangelicals on this idea that they need to support Israel. He was a real scoundrel. He left his wife and kids. He was remarried before he was divorced. He says he left his wife because she was a Catholic and he wasn't down with that. And he was sued many times for fraud many times. And he was a district attorney, had fought for the Confederates, but lied in his oath saying he had never taken up arms against the United States. All kinds of weird things. And then all of a sudden, he's a star, a rising star in the church. And he's given this contract to write the Scofield Bible notes. He only made something like, at the time, $500 a year. But he was mysteriously a member of the Lotos Club, which was an exclusive gentleman's club in New York City and his friends were early Zionists in Wall street and they were the ones who funded the Bible and got him the connections at Oxford. All this to say, I'm making an arch here of who wanted this theology to take root and who now benefits from it. Do you see the paint the picture, I'm painting 100.
- [57:00]
D
This all benefits the Zionists. So what they've. I mean, what the Zionists in the modern state of Israel have been doing from day one is manipulating Christians in Christendom and saying, you must support us because your Bible says so. And that's, that's an abuse of someone's faith, frankly. But it always goes back to Genesis when God made a covenant with Abraham and said that your seed will be blessed. And that's answered In Galatians when St. Paul says Christ is the seed of Abraham and it's not a plural, he explicitly says this. And then he goes on at the end of the chapter to say, all who have faith in Christ are joint heirs of that promise. And so the Bible, if people take the New Testament along with the Old Testament, it's very clear that we as Christians are inheritors inheritance of Israel. That piece of land, that geography should be belong to Christians. It's the Holy Land for Christians, but also the, the Greater Israel, not the place, but the, the body, the peoples is us. We are, we are Israel. Not the new Israel, but the continuation of Israel. Israel was God's people. And once again Jew and Gentile grafted together. That is still Israel. It's just a bigger Israel now than it was before. And so we as the church, as the body of Christ are Israel. And even this is even in Revelation, you don't even need to go to Galatians. In Revelation it says in chapter 21, and I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. The spiritual element there of, of Jesus being the groom, of the church being the bride, but the church being the new Jerusalem. We are Jerusalem, we are part of Jerusalem. And so people get obsessed because they see the word Israel throughout the Bible and they think, well, there's an Israel in the Bible, there's an Israel on that map. They must be the same thing, Israel on the map, or Israel is a modern state founded by the Rothschilds who emotionally blackmailed the British government in the 1940s to give them a country, because my mom died in the holly. And Israel of the Bible is the people of God. The two things are very distinct. They are discrete differences and they've been conflated by the Zionists for a purpose from day one. They chose the name Israel on purpose from day one. And they were secular Jews at the time. They weren't even religious Jews. There were secular Jews who wanted to abuse the faith of Christians. And they have done. How much has tried. How much has the US government given Israel over the last couple of years? 30 million. They give them. Sorry, 30 billion. They give them 3 billion per year and it's gone up since October 7th, which don't get me started on October 7th. But it's an abuse of people's faith and that is not good.
- [59:34]
A
Well, exactly. And if we take this strict interpretation of evangelical Christians versus religious Jews, what you had said earlier is religious Jews think that this, you know, the end of times will bring about their Messiah.
- [59:50]
E
Right.
- [59:50]
A
Evangelicals however, think that the end of times will result in them converting Jews to Christianity. So that makes for strange bedfellows because they both have very different goals, completely different goals for the end. But they think that they have a similar way to get there. You would think that that would be divisive. But they just don't talk, let's just not talk about, about that.
- [60:14]
E
You know, I forget to think about
- [60:16]
D
that because often the, the retort back to me when I say that we're all God's chosen people now. They say yes, but it says in the Bible that in the end the last remaining Jews will convert. Like yes, it does, it does say that. But it also says every knee shall bow in the end that all people shall know that Christ is King in the end, that Christ is the one true living son of God. He is our Lord and Savior. Everyone will know that in the end, including the Jews who reject him. And so that is true. But it doesn't mean that we're supposed to bring about that in order to get them between now and the final days. It's our job to disciple the nations to go forth and multiply, to spread the Gospel. It's our job to lead souls to Christ for conversion. And that means Muhammadans, Buddhists, Hindus and yes, Jews. They don't get a special place of, of anything. We don't get to ignore them and let them go to towards damnation. Our job is to convert them. Our job is to lead them to Christ for conversion. And by not doing so, we're not loving them. It's not loving to say, oh yeah, let them get on with whatever they get on with the world. Do you know, we're safe we're good. That's not good enough. It's our job, right?
- [61:20]
A
In listening to Tucker Carlson's monologue this week, he talked about this idea of Zionists who want to destroy the temple in Jerusalem and reconstruct a singular religion. Location. What is this? I don't, I don't quite understand it. Where, where do I learn about this?
- [61:41]
D
So they lost their templates. So much of revelation was fulfilled in 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed and the temple was destroyed. And this is because Christ said that this was going to happen. Christ prophesied this in that the old ways were gone, because he is the new way. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. And so that temple was destroyed because they weren't following him. And what actually needs to happen is we need to realize that Jesus Christ is the new temple. He is the definitive everlasting temple. And actually as believers, we become temples too. We become temples of God. Every time we go to mass, every time we go to Holy Communion and receive the, the most blessed sacrament of the altar, the Eucharist, we're receiving the body and blood of Christ. Therefore we become a temple of God for that moment that we're consuming him quite literally. But he is the temple. And so we as Christians shouldn't be looking to rebuild. Because if we're looking to rebuild a temple, we're saying we don't believe we already have one. And so therefore we're saying we don't believe in Jesus Christ. The Jews of course, don't believe in Jesus Christ or Jesus as the Christ. Some of them believe Jesus was a man, but they don't believe he was the Christ or is the Christ. And so yes, they are. Wait. They want to build their temple because they want them to the Messiah to come. But all Christians should recognize the Messiah is already here. He has come. He has risen. He is risen. He is with us. And so I don't understand how any Christian could support the building of a new temple of a third temple in Jerusalem. Every Christian should be teaching the Jews the temple is here. Let me show you who he is, right?

And is the vision. This non denominational faith for all people, with no symbolism. I don't quite get it. I'm sorry.
- [63:22]
D
The vision is it is lost. It's because you know, Christ instituted one church. And for a thousand years that worked. And then there was the great schism or a few little things between that before that. But then after another 500 years we had the Protestant Reformation. And then because of our fallen nature, because we are sinners. We find reasons to disagree. And the church splintered and split in a thousand different directions. And so we're all lost. We're all trying to clamber. Where is the truth? We're all trying to discern the truth, the one holy truth that exists. And so there are lots of. And the further we go from the truth, the more confused we get. And so each denomination gets smaller and smaller, breaks up, breaks up, breaks up until, you know, the Baptists and the Methodists break up. And then you've got your liberal Baptist, your liberal Methodists, and you've got your Jehovah's Witnesses as you mentioned, you've got your Latter Day Saints, you've got your Mormons, which the further you get that some of them don't even acknowledge that Christ is divine. Some of them don't even acknowledge that he's a son of God or that he himself is the third is the second person in the Holy Trinity. And so we get more and more deceived as we splinter because separation is, is from the enemy. It's from the sin with in us, but it's from the enemy deceiving us has. And so these people that are bringing all this, this about, trying to fulfill prophecy themselves, I don't know what their end goal is, but I don't think they do either. I think they are so lost, so confused that they need our prayers to come back closer to the faith. And all Christians should be looking what did the, what did the Church, the undivided church of the first millennium believe? What did the early church Christians believe? What did the church fathers believe? If we go back, we find sacred tradition, we find sacred tradition, Scripture, and those things together are what make us Christians. But people who do away with tradition or, and there are not many that do away with scripture, but people tend to do away with one or the other or place too much emphasis on one or the other. Get lost. Because the enemy is whispering in our ears just as the serpent was whispering in the ears of Eve in the Garden of Eden. He's doing the same thing to us today that he was doing to us then and we are listening to him. That's our grave fault. That's our grave sin. We need to stop listening to him and start listening to the church fathers.

Well, that answers the question I was going to ask you next is how, how did this ideology infiltrate the US Military? I have this idea when I read these quotes from these bloodthirsty military leaders. I had the vision of did you ever see the Movie Taps. Okay, so in the end, Tom Cruise goes crazy, you know, shooting guns everywhere, and he's just sort of drunk on his own bloodlust. It's a really good movie, actually. But that's sort of how, like, they've empowered themselves with the. What they think is theology, but what is really bloodlust. And it's. Yeah, it makes sense to me that it's led by the devil. So I think you just answered my last question.

D
I can add to it, though, in that a lot of it comes from personal interpretation. People think this is good enough on its own. We're not a faith of the Book. We don't worship the. The book. We worship the Word of God. Now, people have been confused even by that. This is not the Word of God. This is the Word of God written. This is the written word of God. Jesus Christ is the word of God. He is who we worship. And so giving people the Bible on its own isn't enough. Because I can have a Bible, you can have a Bible. Five other people in the room can have a Bible. We can all come to different conclusions on what it says and what it means. That's the idea behind personal interpretation. Now, what the Holy Spirit works to through the body of the church, the big C church, and that's to help us avoid error and heresy. And so instead of thinking, what do I make of this, we should say, what does the church teach on this? What has the church always taught on this? And that's where we're going wrong with these modern evangelicals and that. They're discerning for themselves, interpreting for themselves and coming up with fluff. And, you know, the idea that Pete Hegseth goes to a Protestant church who's, you know, the leader of that church is not Zionist, but on that, on that kind of track, and it's kind of these people are making things up and then teaching other people these things. And so how do Scofield and Darby get so popular? How did their theology get so popular? What is spread amongst people with no authority? It's spread amongst Christians who are making things up as they go along. Whereas if we return to authority, global, universal, Christian, objective authority, then we don't fall down these traps. I don't. You know, I've had many debates with theologians in the past who will go, I think this. I believe that. And for me, it's not what I think or I believe, it's what the faith teaches. What has the church always taught? If we went back to that, we would avoid much of these Modern errors.

Thank you so much for this. I mean, it's terrifying to think of how people are so misled by what it seems they want to do anyway or demonic influences. But at least it makes me feel better to have your interpretation. So I really appreciate your time.

Because as this economy tanks, and that's what you heard about from Peter Schiff earlier. As the economy tanks, where can you protect your family right now? And that is honestly with gold and silver and precious metals because the US Dollar continues to collapse. I mean, you're seeing gold pull back a little bit now and even silver pull back a little bit right now. So for me, that's where I jump in and add more. But, you know, you do you. But our friends at Lear Capital can actually help you with this if you're totally new to it. You have no idea about investing in precious metals at all to protect your family. Just get on the phone with them and they're an American company, no obligation phone call. They're a great team and they'll just spend time with you.
