So what does the average person do if what you have predicted comes true, and I think it likely will, that there's no way to get out of the debt, no way to liquidate it except through inflation, hyperinflation? How do you protect your family? What practical steps do you take? You
Speaker 1
have that obligation, and everybody does it a different way. Anywhere by endorsing the Second Amendment or practicing the First Amendment, I consider the First Amendment key. Because if we can't talk and get our message out, it's a lost cause. Street going to do? Are they going to collapse? Well, in theory, they don't have to. If we cut the back of their spending and quit printing as much money, you could improve it, but they're not going to do it. So they're going to continue to do it. And I think people should know about how throughout history, even currently, we're in the middle of it, the depreciation of the money and what people can do. See, the data is a real eye-opener for me because I read about this stuff in the 60s and understood the significance of the monetary policy. And then Nixon was in and they talked about the Austrian free market people were predicting we'd have to go off the gold standard completely and totally. We were already off half of it. Americans weren't allowed to own gold. But we were honoring the dollar and that kept our dollar as a reserve currency. And people trusted. Everybody else was worse than we were. Yes. So they would take the dollar and that was a big deal, but you can't do that forever. I think we're reaching this point where some sudden thing is going to happen. I believe in that theory of the black swan. It's going to pop up and it's not going to be controllable. But people, you ask, what can they do? I think the most important thing is understand what's going on is education. That's why I happen to have a homeschooling program and I try to teach this stuff early because you can't change it. You can't go in and say, you want $50 an hour. We can't do that, but we'll have a compromise with the other people. We'll just give you $32 per hour, you know, guarantee that kind of nonsense. You have to be able to, you know, tell them what they have to do. One is to protect the money. One is to protect your wealth. But when I go through this, when people really want to know some details, and I get a little more in detail, I said, but really, really, the most important thing you do is study and understand what's going on. Because if you come away from that, and you're able to accumulate a lot and get by and you have your guns and you have stored food and all that. It's not going to work. You have to understand what's happening. You have to know it's coming. It's very, very dangerous. And that's why I love to see smaller units of government. Anything that hints that says they're springing up an idea in our states to act like they ought to act.
Speaker 2
Yes. And they're
Speaker 1
starting to. You know, they're starting to get more independent. And this whole thing, I don't know why they don't jump on this. It should be easier to sell. Why do they get away with the total destruction of the Constitution that everybody can legislate. The courts legislate, you know, the executive branch legislate and they go on. But the Congress has the authority to cancel all that. If they write a regulation, Congress could cancel it. I think they've done it once. It's been around for 20 years. But they should just have an authority to do it because it's in the Constitution. They don't have any authority to do that. So they've lost all sense of authority and responsibility. And that means young people will give up on it. And this is why a lot of young people start acting like the government. You know, the government cheats and steals and counterfeits. Why can't we? That's why I love the story of Bastia. You know, the Bastia story is that if you and I can't steal from our neighbor, and we can't take their car and we can't hurt people, why is it that we let the government do it? You want to go to your neighbor and you say, well, you have three cars and I don't have any. I want one of your cars. Most people say, well, that's illegal. You
Speaker 2
can't just take someone's car. But
Speaker 1
the government can. The government's taking stuff from us all the time. And most of the taking is from the people who work hard, they're middle class, and they're poor, and they suffer the consequence of inflation. Very wealthy people don't have to worry about the cost of a loaf of bread, believe me. But they do have to worry about the big system because when the big system comes on, there's not many people who are going to escape it. There will be some. Some of them might have to move a long way off or something. But, no, I think it's giving people hope, but they have to understand what's going on, why we deserted the Constitution. I believe I talked a little bit in my little booklet about the coup. I think the government's been taken over. And interesting enough, we talked a little bit about Kennedy. I think the date I say it was concrete that there was a coup and we lost our government was November 22nd. Yes. The assassination of Kennedy.
