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. 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.

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.
