Trump Announces Steep Tariffs on Multiple Countries
Rick discussed Trump’s announcement of steep tariffs on seven countries starting August 1st.
He showed how Trump had posted numerous letters on Truth Social addressed to various world leaders, detailing tariff increases.
Rick displayed a chart showing the previous tariff rates in April (34%, 46%) and the adjusted rates, which, while slightly lower in some cases (Laos from 40% to 32%, Myanmar from 44% to 40%), were still significantly higher than the standard 10% rate.
Rick emphasized that Trump announced an additional 10% tariff on any country aligning with BRICS anti-American policies, framing this as part of Trump’s battle to maintain the US dollar as the reserve currency while moving away from the fiat currency system.
Upcoming Shows and the B2T Store
Rick discussed upcoming guests on his show, including Larry Ballard and several doctors like Sherry Tenpenny and Carrie Madej, who would discuss medical issues and the truth about military operations.
He then discussed various products available on his website, including Televital supplements that Dr. Tenpenny recommends, Exodus supplements with “seven biblical ingredients,” myrrh healing oil, colloidal silver, grass-fed beef, coffee that aids in intermittent fasting, MyPillow products, and Valera living water, which adds hydrogen to water.
Introduction to the New Money Revolution
Rick introduced the concept of “impoundment” that Trump had discussed in June 2023, explaining it as a presidential power to stop unnecessary spending and return money to the treasury.
He quoted Trump saying this power had been wrongfully curtailed by the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which Trump called “clearly unconstitutional.”
Rick then transitioned to discussing the “new money revolution” from the US Debt Clock website, presenting a 30-point plan that outlined how the US Treasury could take over the Federal Reserve and introduce a new “dividend dollar” backed by a sovereign wealth reserve that would increase in value by 3% annually rather than decreasing like the current fiat money system.
Historical Context of Money Systems
Rick walked through the historical context of money systems, starting with Jesus driving money changers from the temple, the “tally system” from 1694 (sticks of wood used to track financial transactions), the Bank of England’s creation, colonial script, and how the Currency Act of 1764 banned paper money in American colonies.
He quoted Benjamin Franklin, saying the inability of colonists to issue their own money was “the prime reason for the Revolutionary War.”
Rick continued with examples of failed fiat currencies, the silver standard’s manipulation, Lincoln’s greenbacks during the Civil War (printed to avoid 24-36% interest from European banks), and the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913, which he characterized as “a masterclass financial scheme” designed to trap Americans in “a life of servitude.”
The Federal Reserve System and Its Impact
Rick detailed how the Federal Reserve system has led to a 97% devaluation of the dollar since its inception in 1913, showing charts of the dollar’s purchasing power decline.
He presented examples of hyperinflation in countries like Germany (1919-1923, from 10 marks per dollar to 42 trillion marks per dollar), Russia (1991-1997, from 20 rubles per dollar to 6,000), China (1935-1947, from 3 yen per dollar to 15,000), Argentina (1975-1932, from 10 pesos per dollar to 10,000), Zimbabwe, and Venezuela (2013-2021, from 4 bolivars per dollar to 3 million).
Rick explained how the fractional reserve banking system allows banks to create money from deposits and earn significant interest on money they didn’t have initially.
He showed charts illustrating how wealth has been transferred to the top 1% since 1971 when the gold standard was abandoned, with billionaires’ combined wealth growing from $300 billion in 1987 to $14 trillion in 2024.
The Great Depression and Monetary Manipulation
Rick discussed how the Great Depression was deliberately engineered by reducing the money supply, showing charts of how it dropped from $46 billion in 1928 to much lower levels by 1932, causing widespread bankruptcies and unemployment.
He characterized this as a deliberate strategy by wealthy elites to buy assets at pennies on the dollar after crashing the economy.
Rick explained that this “boom and bust cycle” is the “favorite tool of the banking cartel” and was repeated in 2008, allowing elites to extract wealth from average Americans.
The Proposed New Money System
Rick outlined the proposed new system that would eliminate debt-based currency, reduce or eliminate interest rates (capping them at 0-3%), eliminate property taxes, and potentially eliminate income taxes by funding the government through tariffs instead.
He explained that the new “USA dividend dollar” would be backed by a sovereign wealth reserve including gold, silver, crypto, and other assets, and would increase in value by 3% annually.
Rick presented a three-step plan: 1) Sign an executive order stopping the printing of new money by the Fed, guarantee repayment of outstanding debt, and decrease interest rates to 0% on new Treasury bonds; 2) Begin printing the new Treasury dividend dollar equal to 5% of GDP annually; 3) Watch as the global debt-based monetary system crumbles and a “new golden age of wealth creation begins.”

Elon Musk’s American Party and Political Controversy
Rick shifted to discussing Elon Musk’s announcement of an “American Party,” noting that many MAGA supporters were critical of this move.
He showed a CNN clip analyzing how Musk’s base would only be about 4% of voters since most people who view Musk favorably already support the GOP.
Rick referenced a prophecy by Kim Clement that predicted the rise of an “American Party” that would be neither Republican nor Democratic, suggesting that perhaps Trump’s MAGA movement might eventually move to this party after both establishment parties are exposed for corruption.
Epstein Controversy and FBI Leadership
Rick discussed controversy surrounding an FBI memo about Jeffrey Epstein, claiming Epstein killed himself and had no client list.
Rick urged viewers to apply the “48-hour Bongino rule” and not jump to conclusions.
He defended FBI leadership like Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, suggesting the leaked memo might be part of an effort to identify moles within the FBI.
Rick quoted Trump praising the FBI for “locking up criminals and cleaning up America’s streets” and showed reports of successful operations against murderers, thieves, and sex offenders.
Border Security and Immigration Enforcement
Rick discussed border security measures being implemented by ICE following the “big beautiful bill” funding, mentioning that Tom Holman wants to “dramatically hike legal migrant arrest quota.”
He reported that DHS had temporarily terminated protected status for around 76,000 Honduran migrants.
Rick also mentioned an incident where an active shooter had attempted to ambush a Border Patrol agent in Texas, suggesting that people with “Trump derangement syndrome” might attack ICE agents now that they’re better funded.
Texas Floods and Tragedy
Rick concluded by commenting on the tragic floods in Texas, noting that the disaster had occurred about five and a half hours from his location, near Kerrville, where he had previously worked as a consultant.
He reported approximately 96 deaths, including 27 girls at Camp Mystic, with 10 campers still missing.
Rick mentioned that Trump would be visiting the area on Friday and that many people were helping with rescue efforts.
He also criticized a Texas pediatrician who had posted that she was only praying for the safety of “visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets” while suggesting MAGA voters should “get what they voted for.”

Day 6: Cultural and Religious Context Confirmed!
By Rick Rene of Blessed2Teach Ministries (https://blessed2teach.com)
Theme: Archaeological discoveries illuminate biblical customs and practices, refuting claims of anachronism or inaccuracy in scripture.
New Reliability Verse:
Matthew 5:18: For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
This verse underscores the precision and enduring reliability of God’s word, affirming the trustworthiness of early religious texts as confirmed by archaeology.
The Ketef Hinnom Silver Scrolls
Biblical Teaching:
The Bible presents the priestly blessing as a divinely ordained practice, given by God to Moses for the priests to bless Israel, reflecting His covenantal love and protection. This blessing was integral to Israelite worship during the First Temple period, symbolizing God’s presence and peace.
- Divine Origin: Numbers 6:22–23 describes God instructing Moses to teach the blessing to Aaron and his sons for use over Israel.
- Priestly Role: Deuteronomy 10:8 highlights the Levites’ responsibility to bless in God’s name, emphasizing their mediatorial role.
- Worship Context: Psalm 67:1 shows the blessing’s influence in Israel’s prayers, linking it to communal worship.
Critics’ Challenge:
Skeptics argued that priestly blessings and early Hebrew scriptures, particularly those in the Pentateuch (the first 5 books of the Old Testament), were late compositions from the Persian or Hellenistic periods (post-5th century BC), not in use during the First Temple period (pre-586 BC). Specific critics include:
- Julius Wellhausen (1844–1918): In his Prolegomena to the History of Israel (1878), Wellhausen proposed the Documentary Hypothesis, suggesting the Priestly source (P), including texts like Numbers 6, was composed during the Babylonian Exile (6th century BC) or later, reflecting a rules-based religion.
- Israel Finkelstein: In The Bible Unearthed (2001), Finkelstein questioned the historical reliability of early biblical texts, arguing that much of the Pentateuch reflects later ideological constructs rather than First Temple practices.
- Abraham Kuenen (1828–1891): Kuenen supported Wellhausen’s views, asserting in works like The Religion of Israel (1874) that the Pentateuch was a product of multiple authors, with priestly texts like the blessing in Numbers being late additions (post-500 BC).
Archaeological Find:
In 1979, excavations at Ketef Hinnom, near Jerusalem, uncovered two silver scrolls dating to the 7th–6th century BC. These scrolls, inscribed with the priestly blessing from Numbers 6:24–26, provide evidence of the early use of this biblical text during the First Temple period, directly contradicting claims of late authorship.
Scriptures:
- Numbers 6:24–26: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
This priestly blessing was spoken by priests over Israel, reflecting God’s covenantal care. - Deuteronomy 10:8: At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord to stand before the Lord to minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day.
Confirms the Levites’ role in pronouncing blessings, aligning with the use of the Numbers blessing. - Psalm 67:1: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah.
Echoes the priestly blessing, showing its influence in Israel’s worship.

Summary:
The Ketef Hinnom Scrolls demonstrate the antiquity and accuracy of biblical texts, refuting claims of late composition by scholars like Wellhausen, Finkelstein, and Kuenen. Matthew 5:18 emphasizes that every detail of God’s word is preserved, as evidenced by this archaeological find.
The Ugaritic Texts
Biblical Teaching:
The Bible consistently portrays Canaanite religion as idolatrous, centered on deities like Baal and Ashtaroth, which led Israel astray from exclusive worship of God. These practices are condemned as spiritually destructive, contrasting with God’s covenant with Israel.
- Idolatry’s Prevalence: Judges 2:13 notes Israel’s abandonment of God for Baal and Ashtaroth, reflecting Canaanite influence.
- False Worship Exposed: 1 Kings 18:26 depicts the futility of Baal worship, as Elijah confronts its prophets.
- Divine Judgment: Hosea 2:13 warns of punishment for Israel’s participation in Baal’s feasts, emphasizing God’s call to faithfulness.
Critics’ Challenge:
Critics argued that the Bible exaggerated or misunderstood Canaanite religion, suggesting that biblical accounts of idolatry were unreliable or anachronistic. Specific critics include:
- Philip Davies: In In Search of ‘Ancient Israel’ (1992), Davies argued that the Bible’s depiction of Canaanite religion was a later construct, not reflective of pre-exilic Israel’s cultural context.
- Hermann Gunkel (1862–1932): In The Legends of Genesis (1901), Gunkel suggested that biblical narratives, including those about Canaanite idolatry, were shaped by later mythic traditions rather than historical realities.
- Julius Wellhausen: In his Prolegomena (1878), Wellhausen’s evolutionary view implied that early biblical accounts of Canaanite practices were simplified or distorted, as he believed Israel’s religion only became formalized later.
Archaeological Find:
Since 1929, excavations at Ras Shamra, Syria, have uncovered the Ugaritic texts (15th–13th centuries BC). These cuneiform tablets describe Canaanite religious practices, including Baal worship and rituals for deities like Ashtaroth, corroborating biblical depictions of Canaanite idolatry.
Scriptures:
- Judges 2:13: They abandoned the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth.
Describes Israel’s idolatry after entering Canaan, aligning with Ugaritic evidence. - 1 Kings 18:26: And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, ‘O Baal, answer us!’ But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made.
Elijah’s confrontation with Baal’s prophets highlights the futility of Canaanite worship, consistent with Ugaritic descriptions. - Hosea 2:13: And I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals when she burned offerings to them and adorned herself with her ring and jewelry, and went after her lovers and forgot me, declares the Lord.
God’s judgment on Israel’s idolatry mirrors Ugaritic accounts of Baal worship practices.

Summary:
The Ugaritic texts validate the Bible’s accurate portrayal of Canaanite religion, countering claims of exaggeration or misunderstanding by critics like Davies, Gunkel, and Wellhausen. Matthew 5:18 affirms the cultural and historical precision of scripture, as supported by these findings.
Lessons and Applications from Confirmed Scriptures
The archaeological discoveries of the Ketef Hinnom Scrolls and Ugaritic Texts not only affirm the reliability of biblical texts but also offer practical lessons for applying these scriptures in our lives today. Below are key takeaways and their applications:
- God’s Word Is Trustworthy and Enduring (Matthew 5:18)
- Lesson: The precision of biblical texts, as confirmed by archaeology, reflects God’s faithfulness to preserve His word. Matthew 5:18 assures us that every detail of scripture is intentional and reliable, despite challenges from critics like Wellhausen and Finkelstein.
- We can study and trust the Bible as a dependable guide for faith and practice. When faced with doubts or skepticism, remember that God’s word has withstood scrutiny for centuries. We can commit to regular Bible reading and meditation to anchor our lives in its truth.
- God’s Blessings Are Timeless (Numbers 6:24–26, Deuteronomy 10:8, Psalm 67:1)
- Lesson: The priestly blessing, used in ancient Israel and preserved on the Ketef Hinnom Scrolls, reveals God’s desire to bless, protect, and grant peace to His people. Its early use shows the continuity of God’s covenant love, refuting late-dating claims by Kuenen and others.
- We can pray the priestly blessing over our family, church, or community, trusting in God’s promises. We can use it as a reminder to seek His presence and peace in daily life, especially during challenges.
- Idolatry Is a Persistent Temptation (Judges 2:13, 1 Kings 18:26, Hosea 2:13)
- Lesson: The Ugaritic texts confirm the Bible’s warnings about Canaanite idolatry, which lured Israel away from God. These accounts highlight the danger of prioritizing anything above God, whether ancient idols or modern distractions, as misunderstood by critics like Davies and Gunkel.
- We can examine our lives for “idols” such as materialism, success, or entertainment that compete with our devotion to God. We should repent and refocus on worshiping Him alone, drawing strength from Elijah’s example of boldly confronting falsehood
- 1 Kings 18:26: And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, ‘O Baal, answer us!’ But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made.
- God Calls Us to Faithfulness Amid Cultural Pressures
- Lesson: Both the Ketef Hinnom Scrolls and Ugaritic Texts show the contrast between Israel’s covenant with God and the surrounding pagan cultures. God’s people were called to remain distinct and faithful, despite misrepresentations by scholars like Wellhausen.
In a world with competing values, we can stand firm in our faith and share the truth of God’s word with others, as the Levites did as recorded in Deuteronomy:
Deuteronomy 10:8: At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord to stand before the Lord to minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day.
Let’s live as a light in our communities, reflecting God’s grace and truth. We can trust the word of God which teaches us to trust in the Messiah, Jesus, who is our Savior.
Lord, I will stand on the Word of God which time and time again gets confirmed from archaeological findings often silencing critics that were used by Satan to get people to doubt the Bible. I have no doubt in the Bible’s reliability and know that not even an iota or dot will pass away from God’s Word. I ask that the Lord Bless and keep those around me and will lift his face upon them and be gracious to them and give them Shalom! In the name of Jesus. Amen.
