Idaho Takes Lead on Sound Money: Legislators Host Exclusive Lunch & Learn on Transactional Gold & Silver – Media Invited to Cover Statehouse Event

BOISE, Idaho — January 14, 2026 — Fresh off Idaho's landmark 2025 wins—the Idaho Constitutional Money Act (HB 177) reaffirming gold and silver as legal tender and (HB 40) elimination of capital gains taxes on precious metals—Idaho legislators are pushing forward with practical innovation to protect residents from inflation and federal monetary risks.

On Monday, January 19, 2026, join Senator Josh Kohl (R-District 25) for a timely "Lunch and Learn" at the Idaho Statehouse featuring Kevin Freeman, CFA—nationally recognized expert on economic warfare, NY Times bestselling author of Pirate Money: Discovering the Founders’ Hidden Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset, and host of Economic War Room on BlazeTV and Pirate Money Radio.

This come-and-go session spotlights transactional gold and silver systems: modern, voluntary debit-card solutions that let Idahoans spend or save physical gold/silver (constitutional legal tender) seamlessly alongside the dollar—no mandates, full privacy, and real inflation protection.

Why This Matters—and Why Media Should Cover It

  • Idaho is positioning itself as a national leader in free-market monetary reform amid rising inflation, dollar erosion, and threats like CBDCs.
  • Freeman will reveal the five foundational principles for state-level systems, light-touch regulation models, private in-state custody for trust, and Idaho's roadmap to pioneer asset-backed innovation.
  • All metals: 100% physical, stored in secure Idaho-approved depositories—no derivatives or paper promises.

This event highlights Idaho's momentum in defending economic liberty and could signal broader national trends. Media are encouraged to attend for interviews, photos, and insights into this growing sound-money movement. Exclusive to legislators and invited guests (media welcome with RSVP). Complimentary lunch in a relaxed format.
