Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know that the Fiat currency system is nothing but
- 0:02Speaker 1: a big Ponzi scheme anyways, and that's their excuse and
- 0:05Speaker 1: how they are able to create new money. And I
- 0:07Speaker 1: think people have finally realized that you do need to
- 0:10Speaker 1: have some protection against inflation. I mean, we've got a
- 0:12Speaker 1: FED raid coming again, and what do you think that's
- 0:14Speaker 1: going to do on inflation?

- 0:47Speaker 4: I'm your host, Carrie Lutz.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Our good friend is back with us, Todd Bubba Horowitz. Todd,
- 0:53Speaker 3: it's great to have you back on the show. We're
- 0:56Speaker 3: talking pre call layoffs, huge layoffs, Amazon ups. Those are
- 1:01Speaker 3: like the stallwarts of the new economy, the digital economy,
- 1:06Speaker 3: and now it looks like they're unraveling here.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Hey, Carry, it's.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Great to be back, and they are unraveling. But again
- 1:12Speaker 1: where they're being replaced. You know, if you go back
- 1:15Speaker 1: for the original Industrial Revolution, there was plenty of jobs
- 1:18Speaker 1: for everybody because anybody could work on the line and
- 1:21Speaker 1: anybid could do things. Well. Now with the new world
- 1:24Speaker 1: of AI, those jobs are totally replaced and not anybody
- 1:28Speaker 1: can walk in and replace those jobs. You know, I
- 1:31Speaker 1: couldn't get a job today if I had go and
- 1:32Speaker 1: get a job. Thank god I'm old, and thank god
- 1:34Speaker 1: I'm self employed, but there isn't a job for me
- 1:36Speaker 1: because I don't understand the AI world. I don't understand
- 1:39Speaker 1: the technology world. And you know, it's going to be
- 1:41Speaker 1: very it's gonna be a real challenge because where are
- 1:44Speaker 1: people going to make money from. You can only get
- 1:47Speaker 1: so many you can only hire so many people at
- 1:48Speaker 1: Walmart or McDonald's or places like that. And that's part
- 1:52Speaker 1: of the destruction of this country that we're watching, all
- 1:55Speaker 1: thanks to our wonderful federal government.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Hey, well, they used to call it create to destruction.
- 2:00Speaker 3: I think they're going to have to find another name
- 2:03Speaker 3: for it now.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I tell you it's it's it's it's a horrible situation
- 2:08Speaker 1: that we're being put into.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And of course that's the typical landing of a K
- 2:13Speaker 1: shaped economy. The upper twenty percent or so are doing well.
- 2:17Speaker 1: The balance is not doing well. And if you write
- 2:19Speaker 1: the letter K, that's what it looks like, and it's
- 2:21Speaker 1: it's it's not healthy and it's not going to be
- 2:24Speaker 1: good for business. Yes, the markets are still soaring higher,
- 2:27Speaker 1: but again, if you look at the volumes, look at
- 2:29Speaker 1: what's going on, it's not real healthy.
- 2:32Speaker 4: That's that's for certain here.
- 2:35Speaker 3: And yeah, so, so all these trade deals and everything
- 2:39Speaker 3: else aren't really going to annount too much, are they? No?
- 2:42Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, I think President Trump
- 2:44Speaker 1: has the right idea. But unfortunately, you know, we've become
- 2:48Speaker 1: lazy in America and people don't really want to work. Okay,
- 2:52Speaker 1: they're looking forward to that universal basic income check a lot.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Forty two million Americans are looking for that snap card,
- 2:58Speaker 1: you know, for for their food stamps. You know, it's
- 3:01Speaker 1: amazing how you always hear about Social Security runing out
- 3:04Speaker 1: of money, which is funded by the tax payer, but
- 3:06Speaker 1: you never hear about welfare or the programs running out
- 3:09Speaker 1: of money. It's kind of an interesting situation.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Well, and another interesting situation about that's not money. Is
- 3:15Speaker 3: that a large percentage of the people receiving it aren't
- 3:19Speaker 3: even citizens of the United States.
- 3:22Speaker 1: You you hit the bullseye. The the the foreigners, the immigrants,
- 3:28Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants have figured out how to gain the system,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and they know more about their benefit programs than the
- 3:33Speaker 1: people who wrote the programs, and they know how to
- 3:35Speaker 1: get those benefits. And and unfortunately, I've seen and witnessed
- 3:40Speaker 1: many of them getting them benefits that are that are
- 3:43Speaker 1: not citizens of this country, which again tells you how
- 3:46Speaker 1: backwards a lot of our programs are, and how much
- 3:49Speaker 1: our government and and and the Senate and Congress really
- 3:53Speaker 1: don't care because all they care about is getting their
- 3:55Speaker 1: take out of the deal, not about really taking care
- 3:58Speaker 1: of the money that we have to pay for. Because
- 4:00Speaker 1: government doesn't create money.
- 4:02Speaker 3: They create debt, and they're very proficient at it too nobody,
- 4:06Speaker 3: you know, they create debt faster than a spouse heading
- 4:13Speaker 3: for the divorce court.
- 4:14Speaker 1: You know, hey, listen, if you and I lived like
- 4:17Speaker 1: the federal government, we'd be in bankruptcy quarter or jail or.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Both, which happens. Yeah, so we you and I, we
- 4:27Speaker 3: we go back aways. We've been talking about precious metals.
- 4:30Speaker 3: When the sheen was off of silver when it was
- 4:34Speaker 3: looking very oxidized and the yellow and gold was a
- 4:39Speaker 3: little too yellow for people, and all of a sudden
- 4:42Speaker 3: over the past year Todd and especially for silver over
- 4:46Speaker 3: the past three four months, everything's changed.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Well. I think it's first of all, you do have
- 4:52Speaker 1: central banks throughound the world by buying gold, and I think, look,
- 4:56Speaker 1: you know that the Fiat currency system is nothing but
- 4:58Speaker 1: a big Ponzi scheme anyway, and that's their excuse and
- 5:01Speaker 1: how they are able to create new money. And I
- 5:03Speaker 1: think people have finally realize that you do need to
- 5:06Speaker 1: have some protection against inflation. I mean, we've got a
- 5:08Speaker 1: FED raid coming again, and what do you think that's
- 5:10Speaker 1: going to do with inflation? You need an asset that
- 5:13Speaker 1: is going to keep up with the pace of inflation,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and that is gold or silver or even platinum. They've
- 5:18Speaker 1: had some very nice moves here, a little bit of
- 5:20Speaker 1: a pull back recently, but I see no reason that
- 5:23Speaker 1: they're not going to continue to go higher because I
- 5:25Speaker 1: think you watch these major economies and these major Fiat
- 5:29Speaker 1: currencies collapsing, and again this is the problem when you
- 5:32Speaker 1: overcreate debt and you have no backing on what your
- 5:36Speaker 1: currency is and of course you also don't have the
- 5:38Speaker 1: banks in line, because I continue to say that the
- 5:42Speaker 1: banks are in trouble, okay, and I continue to say
- 5:45Speaker 1: that they're over leveraged. But of course we never get
- 5:47Speaker 1: a fair and square report when they do those stress tests.
- 5:51Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I think metals
- 5:53Speaker 1: have a much bigger one coming. I think this continues,
- 5:56Speaker 1: and I think inflation can you just a rise, which
- 5:58Speaker 1: will also help push the prices gold and silver much
- 6:00Speaker 1: higher as well.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Boot how high the gold and silver go, well.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I mean I would expect that slow might put it
- 6:07Speaker 1: break it down into a smaller period of town. I
- 6:09Speaker 1: would think that silver this year will probably closed plus
- 6:12Speaker 1: fifty and over fifty. It's below it got to fifty
- 6:15Speaker 1: three or fifty four. I would think gold will close
- 6:17Speaker 1: somewhere around it ties forty four to forty five hundred.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But I think next year, I think there's a good
- 6:22Speaker 1: chance that gold sees fifty five hundred and six thousand.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I think that silver seas sixty or north of that. Again,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I think that this metal rally is just beginning, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: normally the first leg of the bull market or the
- 6:37Speaker 1: big rally, is very sharp and very hard, which we've watched.
- 6:40Speaker 1: You've got gold up about sixty percent or seventy percent.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You get silver up about seventy five percent, and platinum
- 6:45Speaker 1: up seventy five percent. So these first legs, I think
- 6:48Speaker 1: you'll see a little consolidation, which I think we're seeing
- 6:51Speaker 1: right now, and then I think then I think there's
- 6:53Speaker 1: another push and then don't forget that if the equity
- 6:56Speaker 1: markets start to break down. I mean, the equities have
- 6:58Speaker 1: been running on no volume. But when they start to
- 7:01Speaker 1: break down, and they will at some point, they'll be
- 7:03Speaker 1: a solve that new money's going to want to go somewhere,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and that money, I think we'll go into the end
- 7:07Speaker 1: of the precious metals into the crypto space.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:10Speaker 3: You know, the so called experts they were saying like
- 7:14Speaker 3: thirty five dollars silver by the end of twenty twenty
- 7:19Speaker 3: five and three thousand dollars gold, and the so called
- 7:24Speaker 3: experts have been proven wrong yet again.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Well, the experts are not really experts. There are people
- 7:31Speaker 1: that are being designated as experts, but they're basically ignorant. Yes,
- 7:35Speaker 1: they're highly educated and smart people, but they don't understand
- 7:39Speaker 1: how a free market economy works. One of the problems
- 7:42Speaker 1: that's happened in this country, and you and I are
- 7:44Speaker 1: probably on the same age. We've gotten farther and farther
- 7:47Speaker 1: away from a true free market thanks to the Federal Reserve,
- 7:51Speaker 1: thanks to Alan Greenspan, who started all this CREP back
- 7:54Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty, we don't have a true free market.
- 7:57Speaker 1: The Federal Reserve is so far off mandate that they
- 8:00Speaker 1: have no idea what they're doing. They didn't even follow
- 8:02Speaker 1: their own months. Okay, they don't let the free market
- 8:06Speaker 1: trade because there should be no reason for a rate cut,
- 8:08Speaker 1: and everybody knows that we should have a rate cut
- 8:11Speaker 1: because it's gonna spike inflation, and inflation is much higher
- 8:14Speaker 1: than they report. So again, you look at the average American.
- 8:18Speaker 1: How does the average American live and eat and feed
- 8:20Speaker 1: a family? You go to McDonald's. That cost you for
- 8:22Speaker 1: a family afore a cousha thirty five dollars a go
- 8:24Speaker 1: to McDonald's. Now, okay, so how does an average family live?
- 8:28Speaker 3: It's it's insane. And yeah, you look at the Federal Reserve.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Their original purpose was to keep prices stable.
- 8:37Speaker 1: That was that was a cartel move though that was
- 8:40Speaker 1: a crack they got. They pulled one over on on Wilson.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the next thing was keep employment stable.
- 8:49Speaker 3: And now their third leg of that wobbly stool is
- 8:52Speaker 3: never let the stock market go down, right.
- 8:55Speaker 1: That's that has been the new thing since BERNANKI and
- 8:59Speaker 1: since since eight You know, again, this is where I
- 9:03Speaker 1: go back to the free market. You and I both
- 9:05Speaker 1: know that businesses come, businesses go, they go out of business,
- 9:09Speaker 1: somebody else comes to replace them. They've taken that part
- 9:12Speaker 1: of the equation out. They've allowed to get these companies
- 9:15Speaker 1: to get so big. And it does have nothing wrong
- 9:17Speaker 1: with the free market when you let it to work
- 9:19Speaker 1: honestly and freely. We should have big companies. And again
- 9:22Speaker 1: I have no doubt that people should make as much
- 9:25Speaker 1: money as they can. And all this stuff about taxing
- 9:27Speaker 1: the richinals of other stuff is a croc. But they've
- 9:30Speaker 1: truly destroyed the entrepreneurial spirit. The small business has been
- 9:37Speaker 1: hammered and hampered by this because they don't get the
- 9:39Speaker 1: same benefits as big business. And I think the Federal
- 9:41Speaker 1: Reserve is responsible for that and making that happen. Just
- 9:45Speaker 1: what their too big to fail statement and what they've
- 9:48Speaker 1: done and how they operate, because they are really nothing
- 9:51Speaker 1: more than the cartel. And if you go back to
- 9:53Speaker 1: the originators, you know, the Rochel family, Paul Warburg, JP Morgan,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and the Rocketfellers. Do you think any of those four
- 10:00Speaker 1: have the average Americans best interested hurt?
- 10:02Speaker 4: I doubt it, No, I think enough.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I think they're in it for themselves and they always
- 10:09Speaker 3: have been. And I don't know if they take pleasure
- 10:14Speaker 3: in what they're doing, but they certainly don't care about
- 10:19Speaker 3: you or I or.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Anybody else, No, sir. And and uh, you know.
- 10:24Speaker 3: They're they're really their appetite is beyond all reason. You know,
- 10:31Speaker 3: like when is enough enough? I know about growth, and
- 10:35Speaker 3: you got to have things growing or they die. But
- 10:39Speaker 3: theirs is just outright carnivorous.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Their appetite.
- 10:44Speaker 1: They want everything they want. Basically, they would love and
- 10:49Speaker 1: this is what the agenda of socialism in this country. Okay,
- 10:52Speaker 1: they would love to have socialism. Listen, if you're among
- 10:55Speaker 1: the upper five percent, with the upper ten percent, you
- 10:58Speaker 1: want socialism because nobody can ever catch up to you,
- 11:00Speaker 1: and all you do is benefit from it. It's it's
- 11:03Speaker 1: a bad deal, it's a bad program, and it's beyond
- 11:07Speaker 1: me how we continue to let it go this long.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Ron Paul was right, what is it thirty years ago?
- 11:12Speaker 1: He said, end the fed Okay, I mean that is
- 11:15Speaker 1: there is no need for a federal reserve, and that's
- 11:17Speaker 1: being proven out in the crypto space right now for sure.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Hey, so what about crypto where do you think it's heading.
- 11:25Speaker 1: That's hard to say. I mean, it's it's very valuable,
- 11:27Speaker 1: but I think I assume it will continue to go higher.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I you know, we're training it. What one hundred and
- 11:32Speaker 1: eleven thousand now, I mean, it certainly wouldn't surprising if
- 11:35Speaker 1: we close the year. I knew highs at one hundred
- 11:37Speaker 1: and thirty or so. You know, I can't make one
- 11:39Speaker 1: of those ridiculous projections that we're going to five hundred
- 11:42Speaker 1: or a million. Again, I look at it a piece
- 11:44Speaker 1: by piece. I think one hundred and thirty would be
- 11:46Speaker 1: very realistic. I think one of the best plays is
- 11:49Speaker 1: still in the ether and space or Solana, and again,
- 11:52Speaker 1: I think those are are great places. I'm not telling
- 11:55Speaker 1: you to take all your money and put there. I
- 11:56Speaker 1: think that you should have some exposure and certainly in
- 12:00Speaker 1: the in the crypto world, there's enough ATFS now that
- 12:04Speaker 1: if you don't want to get involved in the crypto self.
- 12:06Speaker 1: There's a lot of stocks that you can play the
- 12:08Speaker 1: crypto market with, and I think that you should have
- 12:10Speaker 1: some exposure to it because I think we're in the
- 12:12Speaker 1: very infancy of the crypto space, and I think it
- 12:16Speaker 1: has a weed out the criminals that you know, Listen,
- 12:19Speaker 1: we know that anytime there's money around, people you know,
- 12:22Speaker 1: try to take advantage of it. But if we weed
- 12:23Speaker 1: out all the crap coins and get into some real
- 12:27Speaker 1: business and you start to see more and more establishments
- 12:29Speaker 1: accepting bitcoin or etherum or others, I think that it
- 12:34Speaker 1: only grows fromers. So I think we're in the very infancy,
- 12:36Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of potential upside, very
- 12:38Speaker 1: similar to gold, and I think it is like a
- 12:41Speaker 1: stored asset. And again, the beautiful thing about the crypto
- 12:44Speaker 1: space is it's a free market system traits twenty four
- 12:46Speaker 1: hours a day, seven days a week. Nobody gets in
- 12:48Speaker 1: the middle of it.
- 12:49Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, agreed.
- 12:51Speaker 3: And although they're definitely trying to get their hooks into
- 12:54Speaker 3: it now, they've created the whole synthetic bitcoin space where
- 13:00Speaker 3: they're trying to manipulate the price of bitcoin using futures
- 13:04Speaker 3: and options and all their little games probably spoofing going
- 13:09Speaker 3: on in there as well, but it's much harder to
- 13:12Speaker 3: do it. And I think there's a connection between bitcoin
- 13:18Speaker 3: and silver as far as the synthetic markets go in
- 13:23Speaker 3: trying to control those prices.
- 13:25Speaker 1: I could see that. I mean, there's always been the
- 13:27Speaker 1: talk of silver, and of course one thing about a market,
- 13:30Speaker 1: though there has to be two sides of the market
- 13:32Speaker 1: to make an actual trade. But I could I could
- 13:34Speaker 1: certainly see the attempts to do that. You know, certainly
- 13:38Speaker 1: they've they've they kept the lid on silver for a
- 13:40Speaker 1: long time as the player's a cuma. That's one of
- 13:43Speaker 1: the problems with paper assets, you know, if you look
- 13:45Speaker 1: at like paper gold, I don't think there's enough gold
- 13:48Speaker 1: in the role to cover the amount of paper that's
- 13:49Speaker 1: written on. So uh, that's why I think it's very
- 13:52Speaker 1: important that anybody who invests in this should at least
- 13:55Speaker 1: buy some physical because I think that's where you're gonna
- 13:57Speaker 1: need it and you're gonna get paid.
- 13:58Speaker 3: All right, Well, Todd, just tell us where we find you,
