Two Children Killed, Seventeen Injured in Attack on Minneapolis Church by Radical Gunman · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We have to start with the tragic news.
0:04
Speaker 2: A Minnesota church school shooting has happened yet again, and
0:09
Speaker 2: yet again, the suspect was a transgendered person.
0:12
Speaker 1: The suspect identified as.
0:14
Speaker 2: A female and changed the name at seventeen years old.
0:19
Speaker 2: A senior administration official has now confirmed that the alleged
0:22
Speaker 2: shooter at the Minneapolis Catholic school changed from a male
0:27
Speaker 2: name to a female name at seventeen years of age
0:30
Speaker 2: and now identified as a female. A document post on
0:34
Speaker 2: social media, confirmed as authentic by the officials, said they
0:38
Speaker 2: described the name change occurring in twenty twenty, when the
0:41
Speaker 2: alleged shooter was a minor and required parental sign off
0:45
Speaker 2: on the change. Fox News correspondent Brooke Taylor reported that
0:50
Speaker 2: his mother signed off on the name change from Robert
0:52
Speaker 2: to Robin. It has also been reported that police indicated
0:57
Speaker 2: the alleged shooter used a pistol, a rifle and going
1:00
Speaker 2: to carry out the attack on the school Wednesday morning.
1:03
Speaker 1: From outside the church.
1:05
Speaker 2: He shot through windows, striking children as they sat in
1:08
Speaker 2: pews during mass. Two children were killed and seventeen other
1:12
Speaker 2: individuals were wounded. We hope that those numbers do not change,
1:16
Speaker 2: but they could by the time you hear this. The
1:19
Speaker 2: shooter then took his own life. We also know that
1:24
Speaker 2: this is a trend. You had a transgender identifying woman
1:28
Speaker 2: that shot and killed six innocent children at a Nashville
1:32
Speaker 2: Christian school back on March to twenty seventh of twenty
1:36
Speaker 2: twenty three. She had originally planned to shoot up another school,
1:40
Speaker 2: but didn't why she abandoned the plan to avoid looking racist,
1:45
Speaker 2: and there was another school that had quote too much security.
1:49
Speaker 2: Now there's more on this when it comes to transgender issue.
1:53
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about this in a moment. But
1:54
Speaker 2: there's a bigger part of the story that you need
1:56
Speaker 2: to know about right now, and it is a part
1:59
Speaker 2: of the star story that will not be covered by
2:01
Speaker 2: the media. I want to take you back to two
2:05
Speaker 2: years ago. Two years before the shooter opened fire on
2:09
Speaker 2: the students attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of
2:15
Speaker 2: independent Catholic schools in Minnesota begged the governor former VP
2:21
Speaker 2: candidate Tim Waltz for help securing their schools. The funding
2:27
Speaker 2: by Tim was never authorized. Where was funding going taxpayer
2:32
Speaker 2: dollars to illegal immigrants? It was going to massive amounts
2:37
Speaker 2: of government aid to illegal immigrants. In his community, but
2:42
Speaker 2: protecting the kids, no, that was something he would not do.
2:47
Speaker 2: Their letter asked Waltz for help to secure nonprofit, non
2:53
Speaker 2: public and religious schools. It came one week after a
2:58
Speaker 2: trans identifying shooter killed three children and three adults in
3:03
Speaker 2: Nashville at the Covenant Christian School. So there was a
3:07
Speaker 2: reason why they were asking for the money, they said,
3:10
Speaker 2: after seeing that they knew they were vulnerable and they
3:13
Speaker 2: needed help from the governor. Meanwhile, in April of twenty
3:18
Speaker 2: twenty three, and again, I hope all this information I'm
3:21
Speaker 2: giving you you will share wherever you can on social
3:24
Speaker 2: media because the media is going to whitewash this and
3:27
Speaker 2: act like none of this ever happened. In April of
3:30
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the same month the letter was sent,
3:34
Speaker 2: walt signed legislation establishing Minnesota as a quote trans refuge
3:41
Speaker 2: quote unquote, promising to protect those seeking gender affirming care
3:47
Speaker 2: that according to Outfront Minnesota and the news reports, we
3:51
Speaker 2: now know that the shooter, Robin Slash Robert Westman, is
3:55
Speaker 2: a trans identifying man. The reports now state who identified
4:00
Speaker 2: as a woman and legally changed his name in Minnesota
4:03
Speaker 2: with his mother's sign off, which brings us back to
4:06
Speaker 2: the other basic point. Over and over again, we are
4:11
Speaker 2: seeing trans individuals who have gone through some sort of transition,
4:17
Speaker 2: who are being supported by their families, who still are
4:21
Speaker 2: dealing with major mental health issues. And as long as
4:25
Speaker 2: we keep acting like it is not a mental health issue,
4:30
Speaker 2: this is going to continue to happen. It is absolutely
4:34
Speaker 2: and utterly insane for us to sit here and advocate
4:39
Speaker 2: and support people who believe that they are trapped in
4:42
Speaker 2: another sex body than what they are, to normalize it.
4:47
Speaker 1: It is a mental health issue.
4:49
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that in a mean, disparaging or
4:52
Speaker 2: angry way. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who believes
4:57
Speaker 2: that they are trapped in another person's ba, another sex
5:01
Speaker 2: or the wrong sex and what they are. But let
5:03
Speaker 2: me also say this very clearly, there is a real
5:07
Speaker 2: threat to all of our kids now because we have
5:11
Speaker 2: at least part of the country has tried to normalize
5:15
Speaker 2: mental health issues and acting like there is nothing wrong
5:19
Speaker 2: when someone says they're trapped and the wrong sexual body,
5:23
Speaker 2: the wrong sex. And the longer that we continue down
5:27
Speaker 2: this road, the longer we act like this as normal,
5:30
Speaker 2: when everyone knows that it is not normal, we are
5:34
Speaker 2: going to continue to see these types of things happen.
5:38
Speaker 2: I want you to think about the place you have
5:40
Speaker 2: to be in to be this young and to want
5:43
Speaker 2: to go kill innocent children, shooting them while they're at
5:46
Speaker 2: mass I want you to think about how radical and
5:49
Speaker 2: extreme you have to be in your head to then
5:51
Speaker 2: kill yourself, to turn the gun on yourself. This is
5:55
Speaker 2: a mental health issue, and the problem now is the
5:59
Speaker 2: radical left is try to normalize it instead of giving
6:03
Speaker 2: people the help that they need. Instead, they're saying no, no,
6:07
Speaker 2: let's encourage and advocate and support an individual who's clearly
6:12
Speaker 2: dealing with a major mental health issue.
6:16
Speaker 1: And that is the problem.
6:17
Speaker 2: This is exactly why we must as a nation stand
6:21
Speaker 2: up to this and say no, we are not going
6:23
Speaker 2: to normalize it, and we're not going to act like
6:27
Speaker 2: you're a bad person if you say what I'm saying
6:29
Speaker 2: right now. We need to call it out because we
6:33
Speaker 2: are not doing anybody any favors and we're not actually
6:37
Speaker 2: helping people when we try to normalize a real mental
6:41
Speaker 2: health condition. Finally, let me also say this, this is
6:46
Speaker 2: why the President of the United States of America I'm proud
6:48
Speaker 2: of for leading on protecting women's sports he is not
6:52
Speaker 2: normalizing a dude acting like a chick in women's sports.
6:57
Speaker 2: Women's sports should be for women. Men sports should be
7:00
Speaker 2: for men. And if you want to start a messed
7:03
Speaker 2: up trans league, I mean it when I say this,
7:06
Speaker 2: knock yourself out, do it, but do not open up
7:10
Speaker 2: sports to the opposite sex and act like that is fair.
7:15
Speaker 2: The radical left, unfortunately, has lost their mind. They're not
7:18
Speaker 2: defending women's sports. They are not doing what they need
7:23
Speaker 2: to do to protect women, and the President is doing
7:26
Speaker 2: it through legislation as well. And all of us should
7:30
Speaker 2: be advocating and supporting women and protecting women, protecting them
7:35
Speaker 2: in the locker rooms, protecting them in sports, protecting them
7:38
Speaker 2: when it comes to scholarships, protecting it when it comes
7:42
Speaker 2: to going to the Olympics. And this is another example
7:46
Speaker 2: of the culture war we are in right now in
7:49
Speaker 2: this country. There are sane people like you and I
7:53
Speaker 2: that believe that this is insanity, and the media and
7:57
Speaker 2: the radical left have been pushing this other narrative, this
8:01
Speaker 2: totally insane narrative, for far too long, and all of us,
8:06
Speaker 2: I believe, have an obligation and a duty to refuse
8:10
Speaker 2: to accept this is some sort of great idea. Now
8:15
Speaker 2: let me also say this, what I just told you
8:18
Speaker 2: is not being talked about anywhere. I really want you
8:21
Speaker 2: to take the podcast and I want you to share
8:23
Speaker 2: it wherever you.
8:24
Speaker 1: Can on social media.
8:25
Speaker 2: Please share it because this is important that people know
8:29
Speaker 2: the real story. Share it because they need to know
8:31
Speaker 2: what Tim Waltz did not do to protect children even
8:34
Speaker 2: after they were asked for protection. Putting illegal immigrants ahead
8:39
Speaker 2: of children in school that need a protection and not
8:42
Speaker 2: protect them, probably because they're in a religious institution. This
8:45
Speaker 2: is something everyone needs to know, so makes you share
8:49
Speaker 2: this wherever you can around the country. Take a quick break,
8:53
Speaker 2: we'll come back. It's the Ben Ferguson Show, plus more
8:56
Speaker 2: of your phone calls. There is one thing we are
8:59
Speaker 2: getting from the Trump administration when it comes to the
9:02
Speaker 2: shooting in Minneapolis.
9:03
Speaker 1: It is clarity.
9:04
Speaker 2: The FBI Director Caspittel saying the shooting is now being
9:08
Speaker 2: investigated as a hate crime targeting Catholics. This is something
9:14
Speaker 2: we did not get from the prior administration. The FBI
9:18
Speaker 2: director used a post on x to make it clear
9:22
Speaker 2: that the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting will be investigated as
9:25
Speaker 2: a hate crime, specifically targeting Catholics. It was reported that
9:31
Speaker 2: the alleged shooter changed his name from Robert to Robin
9:34
Speaker 2: at seventeen years of age. Fox News correspondent Brooke Taylor
9:39
Speaker 2: reported that his mother signed off on the suspected shooter's
9:42
Speaker 2: name changed from Robert to Robin. Yet again, another transgendered
9:46
Speaker 2: individual shooting up a school. Police indicated the alleged shooter
9:51
Speaker 2: used a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun to carry
9:54
Speaker 2: out his attack on the church Wednesday morning. From inside
9:58
Speaker 2: the church, he shot through windows, striking children as they
10:01
Speaker 2: sat in the pews during mass. As you know at
10:04
Speaker 2: this point when I am recording this, two children have
10:07
Speaker 2: been killed. Seventeen other individuals have been wounded. Patel putting
10:13
Speaker 2: it on x saying updates on the shooting in Minneapolis.
10:16
Speaker 2: The FBI is investigating. The shooting is an active domestic
10:19
Speaker 2: terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There are two fatalities,
10:24
Speaker 2: an eight year old and a ten year old, in
10:26
Speaker 2: addition to fourteen children and three adults that were injured.
10:31
Speaker 2: He went on to say after that quote, the shooter
10:35
Speaker 2: has been identified is Robin Westman, a male born as
10:40
Speaker 2: Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on
10:44
Speaker 2: our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.
10:49
Speaker 2: Now even CNN is having to admit that this was
10:52
Speaker 2: a radical Here is more of what they said about
10:56
Speaker 2: the shooter.
10:58
Speaker 3: Breaking news, admiration from ash, hatred of multiple groups, no
11:02
Speaker 3: sympathy for any victim. It is just some of what
11:05
Speaker 3: the shooter in today's Catholic school massacre which he murdered
11:08
Speaker 3: two children, reveals and videos posted online. Videos that police
11:14
Speaker 3: are scouring through right now for clues and answers about
11:16
Speaker 3: the shooter, who has been identified as a twenty three
11:19
Speaker 3: year old named Robin Westsman. Brian Todd has the latest
11:22
Speaker 3: on what we know about the shooter.
11:26
Speaker 4: The coward that shot these victims took his own life
11:29
Speaker 4: in the rear of the church. That coward has been
11:33
Speaker 4: identified as twenty three year old Robin Westman.
11:36
Speaker 5: Westman seems to have left a series of online videos
11:39
Speaker 5: which describe an obsession with school shootings and even named
11:43
Speaker 5: other mass shooters, such as the twenty twelve Sandy Hook gunman,
11:47
Speaker 5: the Columbine gunman, and the man who attacked the Tree
11:49
Speaker 5: of Life synagogue in twenty eighteen.
11:53
Speaker 6: Here's my note to my family.
11:57
Speaker 5: The video also shows written statements and several guns painted
12:00
Speaker 5: with slurs. In another clip, the speaker simply reads aloud
12:04
Speaker 5: from a closed dryer, manual.
12:06
Speaker 3: Dryer safety, Your safety and the safety of others are
12:10
Speaker 3: very important.
12:11
Speaker 5: Police say they also found a litany of writings.
12:13
Speaker 4: We're also aware of a manifesto that the shooter had
12:17
Speaker 4: time to be released on YouTube. This manifesto appeared to
12:22
Speaker 4: show him at the scene and included some disturbing writings.
12:27
Speaker 4: That content has since been taken down with the assistance
12:30
Speaker 4: of the FBI, and it now remains under active review
12:34
Speaker 4: by our investigators.
12:35
Speaker 5: Apparently part of the plan that the shooter seemed to
12:37
Speaker 5: illustrate in those same videos on YouTube a photo of
12:40
Speaker 5: a slab of wood. An actual slab of wood was
12:44
Speaker 5: found at the scene, blocking a door from the outside.
12:47
Speaker 6: The exit.
12:51
Speaker 7: Pop it through the hands.
12:53
Speaker 5: According to social media posts, the shooter's mother worked at
12:56
Speaker 5: the school from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one, and
12:59
Speaker 5: the sho shooter graduated from the school in twenty seventeen.
13:03
Speaker 5: The shooter, now known as twenty three year old Robin Westman,
13:06
Speaker 5: identified as a female and changed their name legally to
13:09
Speaker 5: Robin from Robert in twenty twenty. The agency is investigating
13:13
Speaker 5: this as an act of domestic terrorism and as a
13:16
Speaker 5: hate crime targeting Catholics. Police Chief Brian O'Haras says officials
13:20
Speaker 5: there have not yet established enough of a motive to
13:23
Speaker 5: charge it or to investigate it yet as a hate crime.
13:26
Speaker 2: Aaron, that is the part that's the most shocking. You
13:30
Speaker 2: now have two very different narratives. You have clearly leadership
13:34
Speaker 2: and cashpiteal in the Trump administration calling this what it is,
13:38
Speaker 2: and then you have local liberal police who are saying, no,
13:43
Speaker 2: we don't have enough to actually look.
13:45
Speaker 1: At this as a hate crime.
13:47
Speaker 8: Yet.
13:48
Speaker 2: The question I would ask is when will you have enough?
13:52
Speaker 2: As The Minneapolis police chief describing the attack on the
13:57
Speaker 2: mass as quote evil, noting that the worship's service was
14:00
Speaker 2: marking the first week of school for children that are
14:03
Speaker 2: attending the Catholic school. He described the shooting as a
14:07
Speaker 2: deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping,
14:11
Speaker 2: but won't call it a hate crime yet. If you
14:15
Speaker 2: want to know what's wrong in this country, this is
14:18
Speaker 2: a perfect example of it. Democrats, even when evil is
14:22
Speaker 2: steering them in the face, will refuse time and time
14:25
Speaker 2: again to call it exactly that. If there's one thing
14:29
Speaker 2: that is happening right now, it is that Democrats are
14:32
Speaker 2: using this to push for gun control. Amy Klobuchar said,
14:37
Speaker 2: I have long supported assault weapons ban, even before she
14:40
Speaker 2: knows what guns were even used. Many others are also
14:45
Speaker 2: saying the same thing. Former White House pressing or Tarry
14:47
Speaker 2: Jensaki breaking down in tears on MSNBC, and then the
14:52
Speaker 2: Minnesota mayor are saying, why is it that you can
14:55
Speaker 2: buy a gun virtually every month? If you wanted to
15:00
Speaker 2: again blaming the gun instead of the transgendered person who
15:04
Speaker 2: they decided to say that their mental health issues were
15:08
Speaker 2: normal and decided that, you know, we're never going to
15:12
Speaker 2: help them with their mental health, We're just going to
15:14
Speaker 2: try to normalize it. Former FBI profiler said the shooter's parents,
15:19
Speaker 2: well they're ones to blame as well, saying you help
15:22
Speaker 2: them change their name. At seventeen, that's probably when the
15:25
Speaker 2: fuse was lit. Take a listen to a little bit
15:30
Speaker 2: more of what the FBI profiler had to say about
15:32
Speaker 2: the shooter on Ingram Show on Fox.
15:35
Speaker 6: Scrawl across that manifesto, James, what can you tell us
15:39
Speaker 6: you've seen the photos there are various photos.
15:41
Speaker 8: Of him circulating on the internet.
15:45
Speaker 9: Yeah, and we're just a few weeks away from the
15:47
Speaker 9: thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the Unibomber's manifesto in
15:51
Speaker 9: the Washington Post, and now we have Back then, it
15:54
Speaker 9: took a whole lot of protocols to go through to
15:56
Speaker 9: get it in the newspaper, according including from the unibomber himself. Nowadays,
16:00
Speaker 9: you do these things, You plan these mass murders, and
16:03
Speaker 9: you put it on YouTube, you know, twenty minutes or
16:05
Speaker 9: the day before while you're singing along to Annie, and
16:08
Speaker 9: then you know, RM songs and other factors like that
16:12
Speaker 9: to make it so disgusting. This person, obviously, he makes
16:16
Speaker 9: Travis Bickle, the taxi driver character, look like a piker.
16:20
Speaker 9: He is all over the place. I can't believe there
16:23
Speaker 9: are not siblings. I think he had six siblings parents
16:26
Speaker 9: who somehow did not see this, that there wasn't psychological
16:29
Speaker 9: or behavioral leakage in one way or the other. I'm
16:32
Speaker 9: not sure where he was living, with whom he was living,
16:35
Speaker 9: but someone had to see this. And I think we
16:37
Speaker 9: should look at laws in this country that perhaps if
16:40
Speaker 9: you have a family connection, who does something like this
16:42
Speaker 9: and you didn't report it. You can help them get guns,
16:44
Speaker 9: you help them change their name. At seventeen, that's probably
16:47
Speaker 9: when the fuse was lit for this guy to do
16:50
Speaker 9: what he did. You know, five six years.
16:51
Speaker 2: Later, now our Democrats worried about any of what was
16:55
Speaker 2: just mentioned there. No, are they trying to stop the
16:57
Speaker 2: next shooting before it happens. No, what they are trying
17:00
Speaker 2: to do is use this opportunity to then say that
17:03
Speaker 2: you cannot own a firearm. That is the entire conversation
17:08
Speaker 2: and what it focused around on MSNBC virtually all day
17:11
Speaker 2: and all night.
17:12
Speaker 7: Doctors and nurses, everyone that helped.
17:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw some of the stories coming out about
17:18
Speaker 6: that heroism and just incredible courage under tremendously insane circumstances.
17:29
Speaker 6: There is something so perverse about the fact that these
17:31
Speaker 6: kids drill for this, and yet it seems that that
17:35
Speaker 6: preparation maybe was useful in this moment.
17:40
Speaker 7: Yes, so they knew to get under the pews, they
17:43
Speaker 7: knew what to do. And my friend's daughter, who was
17:46
Speaker 7: just you know, seventh eighth grader, she actually saw two
17:49
Speaker 7: of her friends shot, one in the stomach, one in
17:51
Speaker 7: the neck, and then when she got out, she had
17:53
Speaker 7: to tell one of their parents what had happened to
17:56
Speaker 7: their own kid. So these kids did extraordinary things, but
18:01
Speaker 7: they never should have been put in that position in
18:03
Speaker 7: the first place. This was a mad man. He was
18:05
Speaker 7: an all purpose hater by the way, hated groups, left.
18:08
Speaker 8: Right, you name it.
18:10
Speaker 7: There's no way to pin an ideology on this, and
18:12
Speaker 7: I think people should remember this as the facts come
18:15
Speaker 7: out about this manifesto. But what I learned from this
18:20
Speaker 7: once again is that guns and we're a proud hunting state.
18:25
Speaker 7: There's a lot of law abiding gun owners in Minnesota,
18:28
Speaker 7: but there's got to be more we can do here.
18:30
Speaker 7: I've long supported an assault weapon band. It won't help
18:32
Speaker 7: in every case, but it would have helped in Uvaldi,
18:34
Speaker 7: it would have helped in Buffalo. We don't know if
18:36
Speaker 7: it would have helped here, or background checks or some
18:40
Speaker 7: kind of triggers when someone suddenly buys a number of guns,
18:43
Speaker 7: or better backgrounds. This just we're not doing enough, and
18:47
Speaker 7: these kids, no matter how many drills they have, they
18:50
Speaker 7: shouldn't be expected to do that for us.
18:53
Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing how the left will sit there and
18:55
Speaker 2: use kids dying to then push for agenda items that
18:58
Speaker 2: she even admits we don't know if it would have
19:00
Speaker 2: helped here at all, but I'm going to push the
19:02
Speaker 2: political agenda anyway.
19:04
Speaker 1: This is where we are.
19:06
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, democrats see something like this happened and they immediately
19:10
Speaker 2: go for one thing, your right to protect and defend
19:14
Speaker 2: yourself instantly. I want to talk to you about my
19:18
Speaker 2: friends at Kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two days ago, I
19:22
Speaker 2: got my new order of silver. Now I'm investing in
19:26
Speaker 2: silver right now because the pricing on it is amazing
19:29
Speaker 2: and the upside well, it's real. I actually have a
19:32
Speaker 2: one hundred ounce silver bar. It is actually really cool.
19:38
Speaker 2: It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces. But I
19:41
Speaker 2: also know that I bought it at the right price
19:44
Speaker 2: and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote. Rare
19:47
Speaker 2: are special coins and then when you go to sell them,
19:51
Speaker 2: you take away all of your earning potential. Why do
19:54
Speaker 2: they do it this way at Kurt Elliott because they

Speaker 2: to come. K e PM dot com slash Ben. I
21:34
Speaker 2: want to get you some really important information. And this
21:38
Speaker 2: actually happened quietly on August seventh. The President signed an
21:43
Speaker 2: executive order and it opened the door in a way
21:46
Speaker 2: that we've never seen before to alternative assets in four
21:50
Speaker 2: oh one case. And what this means is is going
21:54
Speaker 2: to have a huge impact when it comes to gold
21:57
Speaker 2: and silver crypto as well. And this was something that
22:01
Speaker 2: the President put out that he was very proud of.
22:03
Speaker 2: He said, to quote, by the authority invested in me
22:05
Speaker 2: as President, by the Constitution, in the Laws of the
22:08
Speaker 2: United States of America. It is hereby ordered, he said,
22:11
Speaker 2: Section one purpose. Many wealthy Americans and government workers who
22:15
Speaker 2: participate in public pension plans can invest in or are
22:19
Speaker 2: the beneficiaries of investments in a number of alternative assets. Yet,
22:24
Speaker 2: while more than ninety million Americans participate in employer sponsor
22:28
Speaker 2: defined contribution plans, the vast majority of these investors you
22:32
Speaker 2: don't have the opportunity to participate either directly or through
22:36
Speaker 2: their retirement plans. And then potential growth and diversification opportunities
22:40
Speaker 2: associated with alternative asset investments. So what does this actually
22:45
Speaker 2: mean for you and how big could this be for Americans?
22:49
Speaker 2: Join me out to talk about that. It's Kurt Elliott.
22:52
Speaker 2: He is the man in charge at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals.
22:55
Speaker 2: You can find them online and all of this data
22:57
Speaker 2: will be there at KEM dot com. That's k e
23:03
Speaker 2: PM dot com.
23:05
Speaker 1: Kurt.
23:05
Speaker 2: This was a big move by the President United States America.
23:08
Speaker 2: There was a lot of people that didn't like this
23:10
Speaker 2: because it allowed for these alternative investments which others have
23:14
Speaker 2: been able to capitalize on, and he's saying he wants
23:17
Speaker 2: to make sure that Americans can have that in their
23:19
Speaker 2: four to one K.
23:19
Speaker 8: This is huge, it's absolutely massivevent and of course there's
23:23
Speaker 8: going to be some institutions don't like it, the JP
23:26
Speaker 8: Morgan's of the world, the Bank of Americas of the world,
23:29
Speaker 8: who deal with these paper assets, right, stocks, bonds, mutual funds.
23:34
Speaker 8: But what this does is Trump is doing something that's
23:37
Speaker 8: so great for Americans, and he's kind of restoring financial freedom,
23:43
Speaker 8: giving people the freedom of choice in their finances, right.
23:46
Speaker 8: And so this executive order. I've been doing this for
23:49
Speaker 8: a long time since the early two thousands, like decades,
23:52
Speaker 8: and I this might be the biggest news ever. Why
23:57
Speaker 8: because the four to one K markets over twelve trillion
24:00
Speaker 8: dollars of assets that have already been invested. It's not
24:04
Speaker 8: like people have to come up with the bonds. It's
24:06
Speaker 8: already there. So what are they going to do when
24:09
Speaker 8: when you're an investor like you or me, or any
24:11
Speaker 8: of the listeners on this show is thinking, Wow, I've
24:16
Speaker 8: been wanting to do cryptocurrency. I've been wanting to do
24:19
Speaker 8: gold in silver, but all my assets are in my
24:21
Speaker 8: four one K Hey, I couldn't do it right. So now,
24:25
Speaker 8: in this executive order, in Part Section three, Part C,
24:32
Speaker 8: within one hundred and eighty days of this order, this
24:36
Speaker 8: is going to become effective. That's the first week in February.
24:38
Speaker 8: So what's going to become effective? Well, let's read Section three.
24:43
Speaker 8: Private market investments, including direct and indirect investments in equity, debt,
24:48
Speaker 8: or other financial instruments not traded on public exchanges. That's
24:52
Speaker 8: OTC markets over the counter like penny stocks.
24:56
Speaker 1: Right.
24:57
Speaker 8: How about direct and indirect investments in real estate? Wow,
25:01
Speaker 8: real estate? I can actually own commercial real estate investment
25:04
Speaker 8: property in my forum. K yep. How about actively managed
25:08
Speaker 8: investment vehicles in digital assets that's cryptocurrency. Part fourth, Directing
25:14
Speaker 8: indirected investments in commodities. Well, gold and silver is a commodity,
25:19
Speaker 8: what Trump is saying. And here's the cool thing. What's
25:23
Speaker 8: an indirect investment in the commodity? That would be like
25:25
Speaker 8: a gold or silver etf. It's already available, but direct
25:30
Speaker 8: would be actual physical ownership. Is the way that I
25:33
Speaker 8: read this. So what Trump just did is he said, Hey,
25:37
Speaker 8: I want Americans to have a choice in their financial future.
25:41
Speaker 8: This is amazing and we needed a strong president, a
25:44
Speaker 8: strong leader to actually make this happen. So when you
25:48
Speaker 8: look at this, what are the consequences and what are
25:51
Speaker 8: the benefits. Well, the benefits are alternative assets because increased
25:55
Speaker 8: demand should go through the roof, right, because it's like, wow,
25:59
Speaker 8: we've got people that have captive assets where they had
26:03
Speaker 8: very little choice, maybe ten to twenty mutual funds that
26:06
Speaker 8: they could pick in their four to one k that
26:08
Speaker 8: was it. Well, now they're going to be able to
26:10
Speaker 8: do this and they're going to say, I don't have
26:12
Speaker 8: any assets available except for the stuff of my four
26:15
Speaker 8: one K. I am going to sell my current stocks, bonds,
26:18
Speaker 8: mutual funds and reallocate, reposition myself into these alternative assets
26:24
Speaker 8: that I couldn't do before. So I think that's going
26:27
Speaker 8: to put massive selling pressure on the stock market VND
26:31
Speaker 8: and you're going to see prices come down. But as
26:33
Speaker 8: as the flip side of that coin, you're going to
26:37
Speaker 8: see alternative investments like gold, silver, cryptocurrency go up and
26:41
Speaker 8: go up a lot because they already have limited supply.
26:44
Speaker 8: When you have low supply and high demand, prices go
26:47
Speaker 8: up and they're poised to go up a lot.
26:50
Speaker 2: I mean, this is insiting.
26:52
Speaker 8: This.
26:52
Speaker 2: Financial Times has an article right now about this, talking
26:55
Speaker 2: about how this executive order not only opens ort to
26:58
Speaker 2: a ton of assets and one k they said, here
27:02
Speaker 2: are the key considerations that.
27:04
Speaker 1: You should be looking at.
27:05
Speaker 2: Number one on their list is gold and silver, and
27:08
Speaker 2: then they go into crypto as well, and they're saying
27:11
Speaker 2: that this is going to allow the average American who
27:14
Speaker 2: has been left behind to go direct and indirect investments
27:18
Speaker 2: and commodities that will allow them to gain real wealth
27:21
Speaker 2: over the long term. And they said this also allows
27:24
Speaker 2: for the financing quote infrastructure that needed to be developed
27:28
Speaker 2: for the little guy. That's how they described it, saying,
27:31
Speaker 2: now it's a fair playing field. That's why the President
27:34
Speaker 2: did this, and this is something that's going to happen.
27:36
Speaker 2: By the way, in one hundred and eighty days, dating
27:40
Speaker 2: it back to August the seventh, So there is time
27:43
Speaker 2: to plan for this for Americans as well take advantage
27:45
Speaker 2: of it.
27:46
Speaker 8: Well, absolutely, And this is where you can profit and
27:49
Speaker 8: you can benefit from things when you're ahead of the game.
27:52
Speaker 8: I would rather be six months early than one day late, right,
27:56
Speaker 8: And so when Financial Times said it amazingly, well, it's
28:01
Speaker 8: like this is for the little guy. Well wait a second,
28:03
Speaker 8: I thought TOMP was only for the big guys and
28:05
Speaker 8: only for corporate America. It's like, hmm, the actions so differently,
28:10
Speaker 8: don't they. And so this is just so exciting that
28:13
Speaker 8: we can finally participate in the alternative investments that big
28:18
Speaker 8: hedge funds, that big international center, you know, monetary banks
28:22
Speaker 8: globally like the Bank of America and the JP, Mortgan
28:25
Speaker 8: Chase and the HSBC. I'll do these kinds of things already.
28:29
Speaker 8: Now we can participate in that in our four to
28:32
Speaker 8: one case. So if you have four one case.
28:34
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a real life question on this.
28:36
Speaker 2: So the other day, literally I bought one hundred ounces
28:40
Speaker 2: a fine silver. It's it's just a brick. It's simple,
28:44
Speaker 2: it's basic. It's what you guys actually do. Can I
28:47
Speaker 2: now do that moving forward, but have it in my
28:50
Speaker 2: four to one K? Explain that the application of this
28:53
Speaker 2: in layman's terms.
28:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, so the answer is yes, So bowllyon, Like what
29:00
Speaker 8: you're talking about, the one hundred ounce bars of silver,
29:02
Speaker 8: the ten ounce bars of silver, the generic refinery rounds,
29:06
Speaker 8: those have already been accessible in iras. You do that
29:10
Speaker 8: an IRIS, if you have an IRA, you could already
29:12
Speaker 8: do that, but it was never available in four o
29:14
Speaker 8: one k's before until now, until this executive order.
29:18
Speaker 2: So I can basically say I want to buy this,
29:21
Speaker 2: but I want it to be in part of my
29:22
Speaker 2: portfolio of my four to one K that I'm going
29:25
Speaker 2: to do every single year, right, because I do it
29:27
Speaker 2: for the tax benefits, And I can set it up
29:29
Speaker 2: now and just say I want part of this to
29:31
Speaker 2: be in silver or gold.
29:32
Speaker 8: Yeah. So not exactly today, but in February when this
29:37
Speaker 8: becomes effective. It's going to take a while for some
29:40
Speaker 8: of these four to one K administrators to actually build
29:43
Speaker 8: this into their systems, right, But what can we do
29:46
Speaker 8: in the meantime, So come February, there's going to be
29:49
Speaker 8: a ton of demand for metals which are already running
29:53
Speaker 8: out you know LBMA just came out, which is the
29:56
Speaker 8: London Depository. It's where it's the depository that holds metals,
30:00
Speaker 8: gold and silver for central banks and big institutions all
30:03
Speaker 8: over the world. They basically run out of silver. They
30:06
Speaker 8: just made announcements like, well we don't have enough to
30:08
Speaker 8: cover physical delivery COMAX, which is the depository for North America.
30:15
Speaker 8: They're running so low. This this is wild then, so
30:20
Speaker 8: they have well over three hundred ounces of silver in
30:23
Speaker 8: futures contracts paper for every one ounce of physical silver.
30:27
Speaker 8: So it's like, how could you do that? What if
30:30
Speaker 8: somebody says you're Samsung, you're Sony, you'r LGA, you're Boeing
30:34
Speaker 8: or Lockheed Martin, and you say I need physical silver.
30:38
Speaker 8: And they've been hedging themselves with forward contracts to basically
30:42
Speaker 8: lock in their prices because we need it to build missiles, torpedoes,
30:45
Speaker 8: electric vehicles, solar power, whatever, lcdtvs and they want physical delivery.
30:51
Speaker 8: Well it's like, oh, they have these contracts out to
30:55
Speaker 8: a tune of over three hundred paper contracts to one
30:59
Speaker 8: physical silk that doesn't need quit. They're not going to
31:03
Speaker 8: have enough supply, So we could be seeing a massive
31:06
Speaker 8: short squeeze in front of us, and what does that mean?
31:10
Speaker 8: There's not enough physical silver? And Boeing, Lockheed, Martin, Sony, Samsung,
31:15
Speaker 8: all these companies are going to say, hmm, I don't
31:18
Speaker 8: care what the price of silver is. If it's not available,
31:21
Speaker 8: we can't have a finished product. So they're going to say, well, well,
31:24
Speaker 8: silver might be trading at forty dollars noun, so maybe
31:26
Speaker 8: they say we're going to offer sixty or eighty or
31:29
Speaker 8: one hundred. They don't care what the price is. Why
31:32
Speaker 8: because they're not going to pay for it. They pass
31:35
Speaker 8: that onto the consumer, right but without silver, they don't
31:38
Speaker 8: have a finished product.
31:39
Speaker 1: Incredible. I want to make sure people can call and
31:42
Speaker 1: reach out to you guys. This is what you do.
31:44
Speaker 2: It's literally where I got my I did my investment
31:46
Speaker 2: around the other day and have this. It's on my desk.
31:50
Speaker 2: I'm holy right now, one hundred ounces of fine silver.
31:52
Speaker 2: I also bought a little more than that, so I
31:54
Speaker 2: have a ten ounce and a couple of the single
31:56
Speaker 2: ounces as well. If you want to see what they do,
