Partial Transcript, "In God We Trust" Bush coin conspiracy
Here’s a little bit of change. A friend handed me a really pretty gold coin the other day, she got a [handful of a lot?]___ of change from the car washing. She said "look at these new dollar coins," United States Treasury, beautiful, they’re shiny and they’re gold and they’re worth a dollar and they’re real, and she said "look really closely at it though," she says, "What’s missing on our new dollar coin?" I’m looking at it and I’m comparing it to the old coin from just a few years ago, Sacajawea, she’s on this one.
I see our motto, and I’m looking at the other coin "Where’s ‘In God We Trust’? Where did it go? It’s not, I can’t find it on the coin. She says "well look closely." I says, "there’s our motto, our country’s motto In God We Trust," it’s been pushed to the edge, it’s on the side now, on the edge of this coin you can’t really see it and on this coin it started wearing off.
And I think, who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that and we’re Americans and we’re going to let them aware [?] of something like that
Reminds me of something just tiny, sort of irrelevant to a lot of people but to me, it’s a disturbing trend, it says something about [applause]. It worries me in my simple little world, in my simple way of speaking, things like this. It is a disturbing trend because it is In God We Trust in this country.
