He outlines how cronyism, big government, and global power blocs exacerbate inequality and destabilize society. Historical case studies show why socialist “solutions” entrench elites while harming the middle and working classes. Actionable remedies focus on smaller government, true free markets, and honest money anchored to tangible value.

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.

Discover how soaring debt, a coordinated dollar assault, and rapid CBDC adoption could consolidate financial power and erode economic freedom. Hear admissions from BIS, IMF, and WEF leaders on programmability, unified ledgers, and policy-conditioned money — and why this threatens privacy and liberty. Explore the risks of private “shadow CBDC” stablecoins, the push toward cashless systems, and how social credit-like controls could spread through banking. Learn state-level alternatives, including cash protections and gold and silver “pirate money,” as opt-outs to centralized control.

Kevin Freeman outlines how mounting debt, geopolitical alliances, and de-dollarization efforts threaten U.S. reserve currency status — and what that could mean for inflation, markets, and everyday Americans. He traces the dollar’s arc from Bretton Woods to Nixon’s closure of the gold window, the petrodollar, and today’s multipolar finance led by BRICS. The analysis details coordinated pressure from communist, Islamist, and globalist actors, plus domestic failures — framing a potential sequence from bond sell-offs to hyperinflation. Practical mitigations include disciplined fiscal policy and strategic gold initiatives at the state and personal levels.

From Brazil’s COP30, Craig Rucker alleges U.N.-driven top-down control, massive wealth transfers, and political theater that sidelines indigenous voices while rewarding grifters and ideologues. He claims NGOs and activists frame climate as a quasi-religion to justify sweeping policies and funding goals, including a proposed $300 billion-per-year climate fund scaling toward $1.3 trillion by 2035. Rucker argues that many scientists privately temper their alarm. At the same time, public pressure and grants enforce orthodoxy, and he says public skepticism is rising as EV pullbacks and renewed interest in nuclear power challenge green mandates. He urges the Senate to formally reject legacy climate treaties to end the policy “ping-pong” for America.

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. Kevin Freeman and Rod Martin outline policy shifts, emerging processing hubs, and the geopolitical pressures reshaping supply chains from Afghanistan to Australia. Explore key companies, ETFs, and regions positioned to benefit as the U.S. rebuilds refining and magnet production. Learn how liberty-, security-, and values-focused investing aligns with critical materials independence.

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.

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.

Charlie Kirk’s legacy takes center stage as Kevin Freeman and TPUSA board member Doug DeGroote reflect on his impact, leadership, and faith-driven mission to inspire young Americans. They recount the rapid response to his assassination, the resilience of the Turning Point USA team, and Erica Kirk’s emergence as a unifying leader. 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 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.
