The very word secrecy is repugged in a free and open society.

And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret society,

the secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

Descent to the news.anted. I am one of the four horsemen. The other horsemen are out with their horses. Ricky is coaching basketball.

Sam is telling jokes, and Mike is, of course, as always, fighting the New World Order.

We appreciate them all.

We'll catch them next time around.

Glad to see some familiar faces here.

We just had the Super Bowl yesterday, and Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, which is hilarious.

And, you know, it's just like, talk about low on the priority list.

You know, it feels very, very weird and kind of disjointed and almost like trolling, but you can feel sort of the,

um, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, the, the, uh, digital tokenization of our banks, kind of creeping in.

I mean, it's, you get rid of the penny one day and the next thing you know you're using a CBDC or something like that.

You know, it feels like the beginning of a slippery slope.

And one of the things that he's been going on and on and on about at first, I thought

he was just having some fun.
