The Trump Administration has announced an enormous ‘historic’ settlement against retail shipping giant Amazon. At a whopping $2.5 BILLION, the judgement against Jeff Bezos’ company is the largest settlement of it’s kind — ever. I know everyone wants to jump straight to HOW TO GET YOUR PORTION, so I’ll let you in on the end of the story right up front. For the most part, the settlement refunds will happen AUTOMATICALLY. There are a few more details to cover because I don’t want you to miss out on your portion of this judgement if you’re eligible! But first, let’s cover exactly what led up to this settlement to begin with and why it’s such a big story. Amazon was charged by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of deceptively eliciting subscriptions in order to get customers to sign up for Amazon Prime. And then making it equally hard and confusing to CANCEL the subscription once someone signed up. Is it just me, or has DECEPTION become the number one issue facing mankind on a day-to-day basis lately? FTC Commissioner Mark Meador touted the win on social media on behalf of the Trump Administration, claiming it as a big win for Americans overall: Amazon deceived millions of Americans into signing up for its Prime subscription, charging them fees for something they didn’t want and often didn’t even use. Every month, Amazon took money from consumers pockets. Now the Trump Administration is putting it back. — Mark Meador (@MeadorFTC) September 25, 2025 The amount determined to make up the refund portion of the settlement actually totals $1.5 Billion. And 35 million customers are expected to be eligible to receive a portion of that judgement, as reported by the New York Post: It’s prime time to get your money back. Amazon will pay a historic $2.5 billion settlement to customers after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused the e-commerce giant of enrolling site users in the Prime subscription service without their consent — and making it difficult to cancel. “Today, we are putting billions of dollars back into Americans’ pockets, and making sure Amazon never does this again,” FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson said in a statement. The settlement includes a $1 billion civil penalty and $1.5 billion in refunds to affected customers — making it the FTC’s largest-ever settlement and the second-highest refund award in history. The FTC revealed that Amazon used “sophisticated subscription traps” to trick shoppers into signing up for Prime. This allegedly involved deceptive enrollment practices and hard-to-find cancellation options, impacting an estimated 35 million customers during the time period. The FTC announced that the class action suit was successful against Amazon Prime just two days ago in a press release on FTC official website. Not only was Amazon held responsible for deceptive business practices, but two company Executives were also named in the suit, as the FTC press release detailed: The Federal Trade Commission has secured a historic order with Amazon.com, Inc., as well as Senior Vice President Neil Lindsay and Vice President Jamil Ghani, settling allegations that Amazon enrolled millions of consumers in Prime subscriptions without their consent, and knowingly made it difficult for consumers to cancel. Amazon will be required to pay a $1 billion civil penalty, provide $1.5 billion in refunds back to consumers harmed by their deceptive Prime enrollment practices, and cease unlawful enrollment and cancellation practices for Prime. “Today, the Trump-Vance FTC made history and secured a record-breaking, monumental win for the millions of Americans who are tired of deceptive subscriptions that feel impossible to cancel,” said FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. “The evidence showed that Amazon used sophisticated subscription traps designed to manipulate consumers into enrolling in Prime, and then made it exceedingly hard for consumers to end their subscription. Today, we are putting billions of dollars back into Americans’ pockets, and making sure Amazon never does this again. The Trump-Vance FTC is committed to fighting back when companies try to cheat ordinary Americans out of their hard-earned pay.” The FTC has charged Amazon and several Amazon executives with knowingly misleading millions of consumers into enrolling in Prime, violating the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA). For those who prefer a video report, here’s a great breakdown from FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson. According to the Chairman, the judgement granted by the judge in this case was EVEN GREATER than the original asking amount! Here’s that breakdown from Fox Business News and FTC Chairman Ferguson: Alright — here’s the part everyone has been patiently waiting for. Here’s the breakdown of everything we know so far on how this refund process is going to play out. I’ll share my takeaways bullet-point-style down below, but here’s all the nitty-gritty on how this is supposed to go down as reported by CNN: Anyone who signed up for Amazon Prime or “unsuccessfully attempted to cancel” their Prime subscription in the United States between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, is eligible for a share of the settlement. Customers who used “no more than 3 Prime Benefits” within a year of enrollment and signed up for Amazon Prime through a “challenged enrollment flow” will receive an automatic refund from Amazon. Automatic payments will be issued first and within 90 days of the FTC order. Those customers will be paid back for up to the total amount of the membership fees they paid, but no more than $51. Anyone who submits a valid claim to Amazon and is approved will also be paid up to $51. Claims for unintentional enrollment will be paid after automatic payments are issued, for the total amount of membership fees paid (up to $51) while they had an Amazon Prime subscription. Prime subscribers who were unable to cancel will be refunded in the next group, for the total amount of membership fees paid, up to $51. A website with details on the claims process and information about the settlement has not yet been made public. When it is available, links to the website will be on amazon.com and the Amazon Prime page, or a similar page on the company’s app, according to the FTC’s final order. The settlement says that within 30 days after Amazon finishes its automatic payments, anyone eligible to submit a claim will be notified by e-mail and mailed letters. Claims eligible customers will have “up to 180 days after receiving the claims form to submit it to Amazon via electronic mail,” pre-paid mail, or the settlement website, according to the order. As promised, here are my takeaways to make sure you don’t miss your refund! June 23, 2019 – June 23, 2025 is the window of time during which you had to have signed up, or unsuccessfully tried to cancel your Prime membership. You must have used “no more than 3 Prime Benefits” during the following year after enrolling by means of one of several deceptive enrollment pathways. Automatic payments will come first for those people, up to but no more than $51. If you qualify, but don’t get an automatic payment… you must submit a claim through a specific website. That website has not yet been made public, but when it does there will be links on Amazon’s website. There will also be emails and snail mail notices sent out a month after the automatic payouts are completed with information on how to submit a claim at that time. You’ll have 108 days at that point to submit your claim — so don’t miss it! That’s it! In essence, all you have to do is wait, and most people who qualify will receive a refund totaling up to, but no more than, $51. But keep your eyes open for that email or letter in the mailbox, if you think that you qualify! The economy is roaring back, but it’s still tough all over. And it probably will be for awhile, yet. But hopefully this little bit of JUSTICE supplied by the Trump Administration will supply a little financial help for those of us who experienced exactly the sort of deception from Amazon over the last few years. I remember when it became a catchphrase to call out Obama for all sorts of things, whether he was truly responsible for the thing or not — “Thanks, Obama!” More often than not… he actually was to blame! But trust me when I say that I mean this with exactly the OPPOSITE inflection when I say: Thanks, President Trump! I’ll be expecting my own settlement refund to show up sometime during the next 3 months, and I’m sure I’ll be thanking President Trump again when it does. It’s not a fortune, but hey — $51 bucks is $51 bucks.  And I’ll gladly take that win!

Jim Rickards has made some amazing calls over the years! Especially when it comes to Gold and Silver. As precious metals are at or near all-time highs, things feel like they are about ready to blast off, and Rickards just added fuel to the fire suggesting that it’s not unreasonable at all to think Gold could be headed to $23,000. Yes, $23,000 and it is currently about $3,700. Here’s the clip where he explains exactly how that could happen: “From the perspective of $3,800 an ounce where we are now, $23,000 seems like the far side of the moon but actually, as you get closer to it, it gets really easy to see that kind of spike.” @RealJimRickards on his #gold price forecast. Full interview up TOMORROW. pic.twitter.com/xalWP7USOg — Jesse Day (@jessebday) September 27, 2025 I really encourage you to watch the full interview in context. So much good stuff in here… FULL INTERVIEW HERE: And don’t miss this report I brought you just a few days ago…. Can you see all the pieces coming together? BLACK SWAN Imminent As Silver Soars Over $46 Is a Black Swan event imminent? A global financial reset? A crash of the US Dollar? All of the above? Silver sure seems to think so. And remember folks, they ALWAYS do these things over the weekend and right now it's Friday afternoon as I type this. Silver is currently over $46 and moving fast, at its highest price since 2011: Silver > $46, highest since 2011 pic.twitter.com/L91p8d9iXP — zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 26, 2025 I've been talking about Gold and Silver since Silver was in the low $20s and people would send me hate mail back then saying "silver will never go above $30!  You're dumb Noah!" Well, those people must have all suddenly lost their computers because I don't hear from them much anymore. But I do hear from all the people who bought Gold and Silver over the last 3 years as I've been talking about it and they are VERY happy right now. But this is only just the start. Is a Black Swan imminent? This guy has a very interesting theory and while I don't know if he's right about everything he says, I do know he's right about one thing: the Big Banks have been heavily shorting silver for decades, artificially suppressing the price.  At some point, that will have to end, they will run out of ammo. That's the moment Bo Polny says happens at $50 and that's why Bo says once we hit $50 it's not the final destination but only the launching pad. Check out this Black Swan theory: SILVER ALREADY at $46. So much buying pressure on the big banks who are shorting SILVER. A “black swan” event is incoming. Here’s the conundrum that JPMorgan is in. They hold the most physical SILVER but are in cahoots with the big banks shorting SILVER. Will JPMorgan… pic.twitter.com/4ORONlSq9U — JoeLange (@JoeLang51440671) September 26, 2025 SILVER ALREADY at $46. So much buying pressure on the big banks who are shorting SILVER. A “black swan” event is incoming. Here’s the conundrum that JPMorgan is in. They hold the most physical SILVER but are in cahoots with the big banks shorting SILVER. Will JPMorgan sell their SILVER to try and suppress the price to save their banking buddies? Or will JPMorgan just let the SILVER price fly and profit from their physical holdings. JPMorgan has ALWAYS been a crooked bank and GREEDY. I think they have ALREADY thrown their banking buddies under the bus. The question is why? I think Jamie Dimon was leveraged and captured long ago and EVERYTHING was planned and is being timed. The ACCELERATION of everything is happening at once. Financial transformation and criminal indictments are now happening simultaneously. None of this is a COINCIDENCE. Trump is directing a play and is in more control of what is happening than most people realize. Optics are very important. Of course I have been telling you it might be wise to own some Gold and Silver since Gold was trading in the low $2,000 range and Silver was in the low $20s. And back then I would get comments saying "Noah, nothing is happening!  Silver will never go over $30!  You don't know anything Noah!" Well, flash-forward to today and here we are at Silver $44. Wow! But now let me give you some good news.... If you're reading this and thinking you're too late and you missed the bus, I have good news for you! Once again, not a financial advisor and not financial advice, but I think this all goes MUCH higher. I think you're still early in the game and you might actually be able to get a ton of Gold and Silver all for no money out of pocket, did you know that? Yes, really!  Keep reading below to find out the ONLY two Gold Companies I am proud to work with....including how you could possibly get a lot of Gold and Silver for no money out of pocket! Here we go.... The ONLY Two Gold Companies I Proudly Partner With It's called "physical" gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything. Don't touch that stuff. And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have.... I have two special hook-ups for you and these are the ONLY two companies I am proud to partner up with on Gold and Silver. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on. And I know you'll never forget it if I give you this GIF so....Let's Get Physical: Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe? And that you're getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That's what I'm about to tell you. I have two killer connections for you... 1⃣ The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion, bars and/or coins. You may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin. He's prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I've followed him for years. I've partnered up with Andy's company, Miles Franklin, and I'm really excited to show you what they can do! In fact, Andy's going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you're going to want to make sure you don't miss those. Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I've covered him here many times in the past. Now I'll get to chat with him myself, and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that's you!). At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you'll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They'll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They'll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006 There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit. I think you'll love working with them, I already do! You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they've promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  ? (You can visit their website too, but best pricing is by phone) That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. You'll get a personal phone call with one of their top brokers, personalized, white glove concierge service at no extra cost to you....whether you're buying $500 or $50,000, they'll treat you the same. How about that! No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. 2⃣ An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys is Genesis Gold. This is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually... First is TAX FREE baby! I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won't cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh....and they're VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell 'em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It's true. Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it? As for me and my house, we will be ready. ?

After ramming the entrance, he opened fire inside, injuring 9 people and killing 1. The second image I shared is not the front doors… it shows the side of the building where the truck ended up lodged against the wall. The point of entry was indeed the main doors. So that image is more and more looking like a crock. This is a deliberate act of terror against Christians gathering to worship. It should be addressed with the same urgency and gravity that any targeted attack on a place of faith receives. We are still waiting for the dust to settle and concrete details to emerge, but I will go on record right now that this feels like a huge False Flag to me with the staged American Flags in the truck bed. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, I’m saying it FEELS like a staged event to try and make it look like terrorism from the right. I’m not buying it, at least not right now — my spidey sense is going crazy right now on this one: The truck that allegedly ran into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan had two massive American flags. Whoever did this is trying to frame MAGA Republicans. Nobody is buying this. When the shooter is exposed, the narrative will collapse. pic.twitter.com/OMswWfuDsI — Evan Kilgore (@EvanAKilgore) September 28, 2025 Those Fed Bois and their Khaki Pants think this looks staged! CNN gave these updates: • At least one person was killed and nine others were wounded in a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, according to police. • Authorities say the shooter rammed their vehicle through the front of the church during a large service and began shooting. Officers killed the gunman. • Police say the shooter intentionally started a fire at the church, which grew into a large blaze. Officers believe they will find additional victims when it is safe to enter the building. • Grand Blanc is a suburb of Flint, Michigan, and is located about an hour’s drive north of Detroit.

Officials confirmed multiple victims after a fire and reported an active shooter at an LDS church

40-year-old man from Burton drove into a church in MI and opened fire. 10 hospitalized, 1 dead.

Multiple victims, including children, were wounded after a gunman opened fire on a Church of Latter Day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. The church was also set on fire in the attack, according to authorities.

Three people were killed and eight were injured when an alleged U.S. veteran who claimed he was suffering from PTSD fired into a dockside North Carolina restaurant, killing three people and leaving at least one other person fighting for their life. The suspect was named by the Southport Police Department as Nigel Max Edge, arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder, and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, with additional charges pending. “We believe that this was a targeted location,” Southport Police Chief Todd Coring stated at a press conference. “He acted in what we call a ‘lone wolf.’ He acted alone. This is highly premeditated from what we are seeing at this time and we feel that there are no other threats to our community, that we do have someone in custody.” He added that an active investigation is underway. Coring continued that the suspect was identified as a combat veteran injured in the line of duty and said he suffered from PTSD.

The boat then fled the area, towards the Intracoastal Waterway in the direction of Oak Island. Shortly after 10:00 PM, the U.S. Coast Guard observed a single individual matching the description of the shooter, loading their boat at the public boat ramp at NE 55th Street in Oak Island. The Coast Guard crew detained this suspect.” The suspect reportedly was formerly known as Sean William DeBevoise, who authored a book titled, “Headshot: Betrayal of a Nation.” In the author’s comments about the book, he stated, “The attacks on 9/11 would decide my future for me. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and deployed 3 times; first to Haiti’s political turmoil, then to Iraq twice. Returning from the warzone severely wounded, my life would never be the same as it once was.”

It appears that even the largest retailers continue to struggle in the current economy. Starbucks, which seemingly sits on every corner, will close hundreds of stores. It will also lay off close to 1,000 employees as part of the brand’s “Back to Starbucks” initiative. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol shared the news on September 24. The news comes after the brand recently chose to “sunset” the Starbucks Pick Up locations across North America. Many wonder what all this will mean to the future of Starbucks as competitors like Scooter’s Coffee, 7 Brew Coffee, and Dutch Bros continue to open new locations across the United States. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Starbucks (@starbucks) It Remains Unclear Which Starbucks Locations Will Close Starbucks did not release a full list of closing stores, but shared its intent to be prompt. “Partners in coffeehouses scheduled to close will be notified this week. We’re working hard to offer transfers to nearby locations where possible and will move quickly to help partners understand what opportunities might be available to them,” Brian Niccol wrote. “For those we can’t immediately place, we’re focused on partner care, including comprehensive severance packages. We also hope to welcome many of these partners back to Starbucks in the future as new coffeehouses open and the number of partners in each location grows,” he added. As the news began to spread on social media, many people blasted Starbucks for the move. Sad day. I’ve been going to the same @Starbucks for the past 6 years, despite all the price increases, because of how friendly the workers are They found out THIS MORNING that their store is being closed on Saturday & putting them all out of jobs. Disgusting move by @Starbucks,” a fan shared on X. Brian Niccol wished former employees well. “To those partners who will be leaving, I want to say a profound thank you. To those continuing on our turnaround journey, I deeply appreciate your commitment to helping us get back to Starbucks,” he wrote.
