Mr. White Bucks' solution to falling buck

What do you get when you mix popular radio host/author Michael Savage with famed singer/entertainer/author Pat Boone?

Great insights!

Savage recently interviewed Boone as a part of Pat's national media tour promoting his new autobiography, "Pat Boone's America 50 Years" and his new music video tribute to the National Guard entitled "For My Country."

TRENDING: Is America having a near-death experience, or is this the end?

Pat has become a legend in his own lifetime, like his great-great grandfather, Daniel Boone. He's now sold more than 45 million records in his 50-plus year career. And he's not ready to retire yet!

Boone candidly answers Savage's questions about his recipe for achieving success as a nation, as a family and as an investor.

The goal of his new book, says Boone, "is to help Americans reflect with him on where they have come from, where they are, and were they must go to get back on a divine course – for the sake of future generations."

Boone is an outspoken conservative on many patriotic issues near to Savage's heart – such as the fight against terrorism and the battle to strengthen America's borders, language and culture.

Savage asks, "It looks to me like we're right smack in the middle of a 'values war' in America. It's a battle between traditional values and so-called 'progressive values'. Who do you think is winning this war ... and why?"

Boone replies, "I'm an optimist by nature, but as I reflect on the cultural changes over the last 50 years, I'm a little bit pessimistic. I see Americans allowing very precious things entrusted to us to be taken away. If we allow marriage to be redefined, if we allow partial birth abortion and these kinds of issues, we will have our DNA changed, we will become a different people. We American must stand up and fight for what's right – for righteousness!"

Ecclesiastes 10:2, says Boone, reminds us, "The mind of the wise inclines to the right, the mind of the fool to the left. That's not speaking of politics, but rather of always inclining our heart and mind toward doing what is right."

Boone's message has been the same since day one: Right thinking precedes right action.

The Judeo-Christian values of integrity, modesty and decency have been under attack since the "Age of Stupidity" first began back in the 1960s, he says, leading all the way up to today's push for so-called "progressive values" – an attempt to redefine right as wrong.

Forty-five years ago Boone wrote his first book, "Twixt Twelve and Twenty," to encourage his generation that without standards and guidelines of good and evil, right and wrong, the prospects for the future would be dim.

Boone's right, today's war for what's right will not be won without a fight. In his book "Pat Boone's America," he recounts his high school teacher once telling him, "It's always right to do right … and wrong to do wrong!"

Boone goes on to tackle many other sticky questions on immigration, social security, retirement, privacy and his experience with investments, including gold investing with Swiss America, of which Pat is both a client and a national spokesman.

Boone explained to Savage, "U.S. gold coins provide an excellent tool for teaching our children and grandchildren about America's providential history and the history of our money. And, as a bonus, these gold and silver treasures tend to grow in value over time – which also teaches a valuable lesson of patience for all ages of investors."

Money is perhaps the most talked about subject yet the least understood today, says Boone. President John Adams said, "All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise ... from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation."

Boone points out that while America's money system was once was the envy of the world, it all began to change in 1965 when it abandoned gold and silver coinage in favor of an "IOU-nothing" paper money system.

In light of the current economic instability and long-term trend of a falling dollar both Boone and Savage agree that every American should consider putting themselves back on a gold and silver standard, since it's unlikely the government ever will.

The Savage Nation radio show airs Monday through Friday on more than 350 radio stations and often features WND stories.
