A little over 400 years ago, a small group of Pilgrims made the hazardous journey across the Atlantic. After a challenging first year, in the fall of 1621, the survivors and the indigenous people shared three days of feasting, games, and exercises. After the first year, what remained was a small group of 50 people: 22 men, four married women, and 25 children and teenagers. Soon their celebration became an annual tradition for Americans. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln officially named the last Thursday of November a national holiday. Believe it or not, this history has some critical economic lessons for today.

America faces coordinated threats — communism, Islamism, global governance, and internal betrayal — converging with an unsustainable national debt nearing $40 trillion. Kevin Freeman outlines seven critical truths about debt, from who holds it to why spending cuts, asset sales, or taxing billionaires won’t fix the trajectory. He explains why monetization, unfunded liabilities, and entrenched interests amplify risk, and he proposes managed inflation, productivity growth, deregulation, and sound money as the only viable paths forward. This first installment sets the foundation for the Six Trials by Fire and the urgent need for political will and practical safeguards.

As America approaches 250 years, Kevin Freeman and Mike Carter link modern geopolitical and economic risks with themes from Revelation to highlight six urgent “trials by fire.” From the national debt bomb and currency challenges to CBDCs, inflation-driven wealth gaps, demographic decline, and immigration without assimilation, the stakes are high but manageable. They propose constitutional and market-based solutions, including transactional gold and silver (“Pirate Money”), investor alignment, and proactive civic engagement. A neutral, data-driven framework helps assess threats, prepare wisely, and bolster American resilience.

China’s grip on rare-earth refining poses a strategic risk to U.S. defense and technology, but new American capacity and allied projects are accelerating.

Why gold is surging: Soaring U.S. debt, inflation from rapid money creation, de-dollarization trends, and CBDC concerns are reshaping portfolios. Kevin Freeman and Mike Carter unpack gold’s role as money, central bank moves, and why allocations are shifting toward 15-20%. Practical ways to own gold — coins, bars, ETFs, IRAs, miners, jewelry, and transactional gold solutions — are compared with historical context from Fort Knox to constitutional money. Learn how states are reviving gold and silver as legal tender and what that means for your wealth strategy.

Kevin Freeman and former CIA officer Sam Faddis outline how China’s “unrestricted warfare” strategy targets undersea internet cables, cellular networks via SIM farms, and satellites to paralyze U.S. communications and commerce. They warn that 99% of global data flows through vulnerable subsea cables, now threatened by specialized Chinese vessels and ROVs capable of deepwater cuts — actions tantamount to acts of war. Recent SIM farm busts near the U.N. highlight MSS-run operations capable of jamming 911, conducting fraud, and launching denial-of-service attacks with off-the-shelf gear. The discussion urges rapid decoupling from Chinese-made critical components, hardening the grid, rebuilding U.S. industrial capability, and reorienting investments to strengthen national resilience.

From the League of Nations to the U.N., Kevin Freeman and Alex Newman trace the architecture of global governance and its collision with American sovereignty. They unpack the red-green-blue axis — communism, radical Islamism, and unchecked globalism — linking it to climate policy, mass migration, ESG finance, and cultural capture. Learn how media complicity, corporate power, and transnational institutions model a centralized system inspired by the CCP. Action steps focus on local engagement, education, family protection, and faith-driven resilience.

Powerful clips showcase Kirk’s critiques of socialism, calls for personal renewal, and warnings about national decline — paired with a hopeful blueprint for cultural revival and sound governance. The discussion underscores how TPUSA will expand Kirk’s voice and mission across campuses, churches, and civic life.

Kevin Freeman and Jason Cozens, founder and CEO of Glint, explain how modern fintech and state-level legal frameworks can enable gold and silver to function as everyday spending money without replacing the dollar. They highlight challenges with traditional gold ownership — high entry cost, trust, storage, taxes, and spendability — and show how Glint’s app, vault-backed holdings, and Mastercard integration solve them with wholesale pricing and fractional ownership. The discussion covers inflation, the Cantillon effect, central bank gold accumulation, and a growing U.S. state movement to protect and enable transactional gold. Viewers learn how users can adopt a personal gold standard today while broader legal adoption accelerates across key states.

Kevin Freeman uses the Battle of the Bulge to warn against post-victory complacency, drawing parallels to current fights over CBDCs, debt, immigration, and cultural policy. He and Mike Carter highlight progress on state-level “pirate money” legal tender laws in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Missouri, while stressing that implementation and sustained grassroots engagement are essential. Despite executive actions and legislative wins, they argue that threats persist through hidden DEI programs, banking restrictions, and policy reversals — demanding vigilance, relationships with lawmakers, and principled advocacy. The call to action: Stay engaged, build legislative relationships, and advance liberty, security, and values with practical next steps from the Economic War Room.

Kevin Freeman traces the arc from 1980s optimism — thousands of investable public companies and rapid innovation — to today’s halved stock count amid soaring GDP and population. He argues that financialization, heavy regulation (SOX, Dodd-Frank), and abundant private capital pushed companies to stay private, widening the wealth gap and fueling socialist sentiment. Examples like Uber illustrate how gains accrue privately while retail investors face late access and higher risk; meanwhile, dollar debasement and the Cantillon effect amplify inequality. Freeman advocates restoring opportunity via sound money (state gold/silver initiatives), lighter but fair regulation, stronger IP protection, and expanded public access to high-growth firms, urging policy action to revive broad-based capitalism.

Kevin Freeman and Dr. Simone Gold discuss institutional capture, fear-driven public health, and the erosion of medical freedom during the pandemic, urging individuals to think independently. She highlights America’s Frontline Doctors, the upcoming Freedom Summit 2025 in Dallas, and policy shifts like Florida’s move to end vaccine mandates. Gold critiques third-party health care payment systems and promotes a direct doctor-patient model, introducing GoldCare.com’s $10/month education-first membership with optional fee-for-service clinical care. She emphasizes lifestyle foundations — movement, nutrition, sleep — over pill-first medicine and outlines practical paths to reduce costs while restoring choice and trust.

The show spotlights Zohran Mamdani’s lead in New York’s mayoral polls, fueled by strong youth support for socialist policies like fare-free transit, public child care, city-run groceries, rent controls, police defunding, and a $30 minimum wage. Kevin Freeman contrasts generational attitudes toward socialism and communism with Cold War history, citing data from Cato, Pew, and Gallup to argue that education and cultural shifts are driving the trend. He criticizes proposals such as city-owned grocery stores as historically disastrous and highlights endorsements and controversies surrounding Mamdani’s background and positions on Israel. The segment concludes with a call for “economic justice” via free-market solutions, sound money, and policy reforms to restore middle-class opportunity without embracing socialism.

Kevin Freeman and Ryan Helfenbein discuss the surge of youth support for socialist candidates, highlighting a generational divide and citing surveys showing favorable views of socialism and even communism among younger voters. They argue that grievances over cost of living, perceived lack of opportunity, and long-term institutional capture in education, media, and churches have primed young Americans toward socialist solutions. Helfenbein contrasts socialism’s historic failures with free-market democratic capitalism’s record on human flourishing, while emphasizing that faith, purpose, and community are essential antidotes to materialism-driven ideologies. The conversation spotlights Liberty University’s faith-centered education model and advocacy through the Standing for Freedom Center as part of a broader strategy to restore economic and cultural foundations.

Kevin Freeman talks with John Solomon about allegations that a political operation originated in 2016 to frame Donald Trump with Russia collusion, later morphing into a broader pattern involving the FBI, CIA, and special counsels. Solomon outlines a “grand conspiracy” theory tying together Russiagate, the Ukraine impeachment, and classified-documents cases, arguing that the same actors used government power to target Trump while shielding Democrats. He explains how a conspiracy framework could extend statutes of limitations, shift venue to Florida, and potentially yield charges, agency downsizing, and reformed intelligence practices. The discussion highlights Obama-era briefings, the role of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and the prospect of Obama as an unindicted co-conspirator and compelled witness.
