Latest / The Alex Marlow Show / Vance Gives Brilliant Answer on Cost of Living — and the Media Censor It
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's the Alex Marlowe Show. The Alex Marlowe Show. I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: glad you're here. We are just a few days away
- 0:05Speaker 1: from results day. It's not just election day because people
- 0:07Speaker 1: have been voting. So as I noted at the top
- 0:09Speaker 1: of the show yesterday, any big news that comes out
- 0:11Speaker 1: now is not going to hit. A lot of people
- 0:13Speaker 1: have already cast their ballots. But that's the reality we
- 0:15Speaker 1: live in. And I'm going to give you some updates
- 0:17Speaker 1: on some of the crucial races and try to frame
- 0:20Speaker 1: up the debate. We're also going to hear from our
- 0:22Speaker 1: partners in monetary gold later in the show because this
- 0:25Speaker 1: could be the perfect time. to get in the gold
- 0:27Speaker 1: space because whatever happens in the midterms, my prediction personally,
- 0:30Speaker 1: I'm not a financial advisor, but is that gold's going
- 0:32Speaker 1: to go up. So this could be a good time
- 0:34Speaker 1: to partner up with my folks over there. And we're
- 0:36Speaker 1: going to hear from a candidate in a crucial swing
- 0:38Speaker 1: race in Florida later in the show as well. But
- 0:41Speaker 1: a couple of things to start. First of all, the
- 0:43Speaker 1: big news item for me to open the show is
- 0:45Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi trashing Abdul El-Sayed saying that his radical views
- 0:50Speaker 1: are concerning. And, uh, We'll see if he gets elected.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I find this noteworthy because Pelosi wields an amazing amount
- 0:59Speaker 1: of clout still in the Democrat Party, particularly amongst the
- 1:02Speaker 1: establishment wing, not in the Hassan Piker wing, but certainly
- 1:06Speaker 1: in the wing that is the not pro-Hamas part of
- 1:10Speaker 1: the Democrat base. And she has been able to wield
- 1:13Speaker 1: power in a very effective way, which I begrudgingly say
- 1:16Speaker 1: because I don't have a lot of other nice things
- 1:17Speaker 1: to say about her. But overall, Her ability to command
- 1:21Speaker 1: power has been second to none in Democrat circles for
- 1:24Speaker 1: this century, I guess. I mean, Obama's up there, but
- 1:27Speaker 1: those two, those are the leaders. And her coming out
- 1:30Speaker 1: and saying just a couple of days before the election
- 1:33Speaker 1: that Abdulrahman Mohammed El-Sayed is not necessarily a guy who
- 1:39Speaker 1: she agrees with on issues that are Concerning and wrong,
- 1:43Speaker 1: particularly with regard to some criticisms of the abandoning Israel
- 1:48Speaker 1: and tones of anti-Semitism was what she was reacting to.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Pelosi said that she has more Jewish grandchildren than anybody
- 1:57Speaker 1: in Congress. And she said that she does not know
- 2:00Speaker 1: of any Democrats who engage in anti-Semitism, but there are
- 2:04Speaker 1: a few such cases. And again, that's parsing words, I think,
- 2:08Speaker 1: pretty carefully to say because he's not in the Congress yet.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So she basically said that El-Sayed's position isn't a reflection
- 2:15Speaker 1: of the Democrats in Congress. So the Congress people, the
- 2:18Speaker 1: people she worked with when she was Speaker of the
- 2:20Speaker 1: House and leader, is that this is not a mainstream view.
- 2:26Speaker 1: And again, remember, Abdul El-Sayed, not just that he's got
- 2:28Speaker 1: Muslim Brotherhood ties, is that he's also someone who minimized
- 2:32Speaker 1: a Muslim terrorist attack on a Jewish synagogue as hurt
- 2:35Speaker 1: people hurting people. So the innocents who were murdered in
- 2:38Speaker 1: the synagogue were actually– part of the oppressor class that
- 2:42Speaker 1: victimized the person who killed them which is shocking and
- 2:45Speaker 1: should be unacceptable for people to be allowed in polite
- 2:47Speaker 1: society all right the next big news item to start
- 2:50Speaker 1: the day is we just learned and this is wild
- 2:55Speaker 1: ilhan omar's alleged brother the brother husband is gay a
- 3:01Speaker 1: sort of i guess i don't know recall that this
- 3:04Speaker 1: man his name is ahmed nur saeed elmi He and
- 3:07Speaker 1: Omar were married in 2009, and they remained married until 2017,
- 3:11Speaker 1: even though Omar had another boyfriend at the time with
- 3:15Speaker 1: whom she bore children with both before and during this marriage.
- 3:21Speaker 1: So remember, Omar had children before this marriage and during
- 3:25Speaker 1: the marriage with another guy. But she was married to
- 3:28Speaker 1: this guy who looks exactly like her, is younger, and
- 3:31Speaker 1: is now apparently a homosexual. So again, this is another
- 3:35Speaker 1: thing that was– this just came up in August of–
- 3:39Speaker 1: which year was this? Was this 2009 that he wrote this?
- 3:43Speaker 1: But I'm looking at a fresh document that had surfaced.
- 3:46Speaker 1: As a gay man of the East African diaspora, my
- 3:49Speaker 1: field work was never neutral. He wrote in a paper
- 3:52Speaker 1: studying violence against homosexuals in Africa. Wild stuff. A Daily
- 3:57Speaker 1: Caller I saw got this, and shout out to them
- 4:01Speaker 1: if they got this first. Crazy stuff. Crazy reports. And
- 4:05Speaker 1: so will any of this make a difference? I don't
- 4:07Speaker 1: know because we're so divided in terms of our politics.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And if you like the idea of Hamas and you
- 4:12Speaker 1: like the idea of Israel, if you like the idea
- 4:15Speaker 1: of the government funding transing of the children, then you're
- 4:18Speaker 1: still going to vote for Democrats. But I'm hoping there's
- 4:20Speaker 1: enough people who will hear this stuff who will now
- 4:22Speaker 1: come off the sidelines. El-Sayed had a line about taxpayers
- 4:28Speaker 1: funding transitioning of children into that again, you would think
- 4:33Speaker 1: this in and of itself would be disqualifying. Play cut 12, please, guys.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean, could you envision yourself, if you want universal healthcare,
- 4:41Speaker 1: could you pass universal healthcare plan, which would not cover
- 4:44Speaker 1: puberty blockers for minors? Is that a compromise, I guess,
- 4:46Speaker 1: that you'd be willing to accept?
- 4:48Speaker 2: You know, Sarah, that's a hypothetical, but the question really is,
- 4:51Speaker 2: what is government for? Like, what is our politics really about?
- 4:54Speaker 2: And I think there are a lot of people who
- 4:55Speaker 2: want to distract us from the fact that our politics
- 4:57Speaker 2: have not addressed the material needs of our lives by
- 5:00Speaker 2: trying to make politics about cultural war. To me, it's
- 5:02Speaker 2: not even about cultural war.
- 5:03Speaker 1: It's just about rights.
- 5:04Speaker 2: It's about whether or not we stand up against the
- 5:07Speaker 2: tyranny of government to tell people how they get to
- 5:09Speaker 2: live their lives or not. And to me, that there
- 5:13Speaker 2: is the real question. So to me, rights are rights
- 5:15Speaker 2: are rights are rights. And the question of the kind
- 5:17Speaker 2: of health care that you can get is a choice
- 5:18Speaker 2: between you, your doctor, and if you're under 18, your parent.
- 5:22Speaker 1: This guy's chick is going to age so poorly because
- 5:24Speaker 1: he's so canned and it's just so performative. But the
- 5:28Speaker 1: rights are rights are rights. He's saying that it's a
- 5:30Speaker 1: culture war, that we don't want taxpayers to have to
- 5:34Speaker 1: fund transitioning of children. That's what he's saying. If it's
- 5:37Speaker 1: a government-run health care plan and that government-run health care
- 5:41Speaker 1: plan pays for puberty blockers for children that means you're
- 5:46Speaker 1: going to confiscate money from me and my family at
- 5:48Speaker 1: gunpoint that I earned to pay for transitioning of children
- 5:52Speaker 1: which is a massive hoax and should be illegal period
- 5:56Speaker 1: should be illegal and yet we're allowing for this to
- 5:59Speaker 1: take place and he's saying for sure we need taxpayer
- 6:02Speaker 1: money for it but rights are rights are rights are
- 6:05Speaker 1: rights whatever that means These guys are completely insane, completely insane.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And we're going to look back on this election. We think,
- 6:13Speaker 1: I can't believe this is the slate of candidates. Even
- 6:15Speaker 1: if they win, we're going to think this. Here's a
- 6:18Speaker 1: James Talafrico cut 13, please.
- 6:22Speaker 3: And I guess I'm just confused by having a rainbow
- 6:25Speaker 3: in class is considered indoctrination.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Why would a gay symbol being in a school for
- 6:33Speaker 1: children be considered indoctrination? I don't know, because maybe those
- 6:37Speaker 1: types of conversations are meant for the families. Maybe families
- 6:40Speaker 1: should be the ones introducing that stuff. And you can't
- 6:42Speaker 1: have some activist teacher coming in and doing some sort
- 6:45Speaker 1: of a gay education on your kids or trans education.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Maybe that's something that should be reserved for the home.
- 6:51Speaker 1: And maybe for a taxpayer-funded school system, we shouldn't have
- 6:54Speaker 1: to insist that the teachers introduce these subjects instead of
- 6:56Speaker 1: having the families do it. Do you see why conservatives
- 7:00Speaker 1: might see this as a big deal, why normal Americans
- 7:02Speaker 1: might see this as a big deal? It goes on.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Here's a cut of Amy Acton, who's running for governor
- 7:07Speaker 1: of Ohio, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who I've known for a
- 7:10Speaker 1: while and is very bright and very capable, has not
- 7:12Speaker 1: run a perfect campaign, shall we say. Shall we say that?
- 7:16Speaker 1: Is that okay to say? But he could conceivably still win,
- 7:19Speaker 1: partially because this is the woman he's up against. Cut 15.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Oh, it's so good. Good to be back here at UAW.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:30Speaker 4: It's about truth and.
- 7:32Speaker 6: Justice, I just wrote on the words back here.
- 7:37Speaker 4: I'm honored to be here. We've been in Toledo a lot.
- 7:41Speaker 6: There's a big energy going on here.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I can feel it.
- 7:49Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness.
- 7:49Speaker 6: First of all. I just want to say to you,
- 7:53Speaker 6: you know, it has been quite a week this past week.
- 7:57Speaker 6: And Eric and I just want to thank everyone, your
- 8:00Speaker 6: support and love.
- 8:03Speaker 1: This honestly reminds me of the conversations you'd have the
- 8:07Speaker 1: last conversation of the night at a college rap party
- 8:09Speaker 1: that you'd have. Like, you know that one, the last
- 8:12Speaker 1: one of the night where someone acts like they're really
- 8:14Speaker 1: connecting with you, but it's really that they just are
- 8:17Speaker 1: on their seventh appletini. Like, that's exactly what it sounds like.
- 8:21Speaker 1: By the way, by the way, Halloween's coming up. Halloween's tomorrow,
- 8:24Speaker 1: for those of you listening live. And I will tell you,
- 8:26Speaker 1: I've got some Halloween specials coming up. I'm going to
- 8:28Speaker 1: get into all of my Halloween costumes all the kids
- 8:32Speaker 1: are doing. I'll do that with Emma Jo. I'll record
- 8:33Speaker 1: that today. They'll come out over the weekend. I've got
- 8:35Speaker 1: a Halloween special now with movie recommendations with John Nolte
- 8:38Speaker 1: up today. But I will tell you, tell your daughters,
- 8:41Speaker 1: tell your girlfriends, do not dress like Jane Doe from Cornell.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Don't do it. They don't. The ladies, they give themselves
- 8:48Speaker 1: this excuse. Once a year, you're allowed to dress like
- 8:50Speaker 1: Jane Doe from Cornell at the frat party, and you
- 8:53Speaker 1: can't do that. And by the way, I have no
- 8:55Speaker 1: idea how she dressed, but I just feel like that's–
- 8:57Speaker 1: it is something that we do this as a culture,
- 8:59Speaker 1: that apparently that Halloween is just an excuse to do
- 9:02Speaker 1: everything that would maybe invite the wrong sorts of attention
- 9:05Speaker 1: from the wrong sorts of people. Okay, I got a lot.
- 9:08Speaker 1: When I come back from the break, I'm going to
- 9:09Speaker 1: play for you I think maybe the most important point
- 9:13Speaker 1: I can make about this election, about what this is
- 9:15Speaker 1: all about. via the vice president. But before I do that,
- 9:19Speaker 1: I want to tell you about something that is a
- 9:20Speaker 1: great use of your money. It's a great use of
- 9:22Speaker 1: your time. And it is a great way for all
- 9:25Speaker 1: of you to save lives and save babies. And the
- 9:27Speaker 1: show is a pro-life show. And it is by donating
- 9:30Speaker 1: to pre-born. They're going to save 60,000 babies this year.
- 9:33Speaker 1: That's life. That gives you a huge purpose if you
- 9:36Speaker 1: can contribute to this. Every baby saved also means a
- 9:39Speaker 1: mother is saved from a lifetime of pain and regret
- 9:41Speaker 1: and many fathers as well. All the studies are in
- 9:44Speaker 1: The dads don't like it when their children get slaughtered
- 9:46Speaker 1: in the womb. So no matter who you are, this
- 9:49Speaker 1: could affect you in your life. So pre-born provides ultrasounds
- 9:53Speaker 1: and it introduces the mother to the baby. You can
- 9:55Speaker 1: hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it
- 9:57Speaker 1: makes the mother twice as likely to choose life. which
- 10:00Speaker 1: is infinitely moral. And you're helping her make moral choices
- 10:03Speaker 1: and save herself. $ 28 provides an ultrasound. So you can
- 10:07Speaker 1: do five for 140, two eighties, 10, $ 20 a month,
- 10:10Speaker 1: save a baby month all year long, $ 15, 000. That's a
- 10:14Speaker 1: tax deductible donation that could save babies with a full
- 10:17Speaker 1: ultrasound machine. Amazing stuff. Consider that. Really should.
- 10:20Speaker 7: 833-850-BABY. 833-850-2229.
- 10:21Speaker 1: That's the number. Or go to alexmarlow.com. Hit that pre-born banner.
- 10:37Speaker 1: So you've been waiting to try medical-grade red light therapy
- 10:40Speaker 1: for your pain, but the cost has been holding you back. Well, no,
- 10:43Speaker 1: not now. At SunPowerLED, you can use eligible HSA and
- 10:47Speaker 1: FSA funds towards any device. I've personally been using the
- 10:50Speaker 1: SuperPalm 1050 handheld at home for my back and knee.
- 10:54Speaker 1: And wow, what a difference it makes. I even have
- 10:56Speaker 1: the helmet for a friend. The incredible science behind it
- 10:58Speaker 1: is called photobiomodulation, or PBM. According to the PBM Foundation,
- 11:02Speaker 1: more than 100 million patient treatments have been performed without
- 11:05Speaker 1: any documented side effects. The medical-grade SuperPOM-1050 also has a
- 11:09Speaker 1: patent-pended cooling system, so its wall-of-light technology spreads the light
- 11:14Speaker 1: evenly across a wider treatment area, making it more effective
- 11:17Speaker 1: than many alternative technologies. My friend Tom has made it
- 11:20Speaker 1: affordable with your eligible HSA and FSA funds. Help your
- 11:23Speaker 1: joints aches and pains without drugs. Oh, and then there's
- 11:26Speaker 1: another savings on top. With Code Marlowe, you get 10% off. HSA, FSA,
- 11:31Speaker 1: and Code Marlowe, there's no excuse not to buy it now. SunPowerLED.com.

- 11:39Speaker 1: Can You Hear Me Now? featuring Charlie Kirk. Stream it
- 11:42Speaker 1: now exclusively on SalemNow.com.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Oh, it's so good. Good to be back here at UAW.
- 11:52Speaker 4: It's about truth and.
- 11:54Speaker 6: Justice, I just wrote on the words back here.
- 11:59Speaker 4: I'm honored to be here.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Okay, listen, listen. This is important. You and me, we're
- 12:06Speaker 1: going to fix everything. Shut up, shut up. I'm not
- 12:10Speaker 1: even drunk. Cassie says I can't drink, but I can drink.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And we're going to solve all the problems. War, no
- 12:16Speaker 1: more war. Climate change. You and me, you and me,
- 12:21Speaker 1: we're going to plant trees, lots of trees, and no
- 12:25Speaker 1: more straws. Okay? We did that. We fixed it. Is
- 12:29Speaker 1: that what it sounds like? It's like it's the last
- 12:31Speaker 1: conversation you have at the sorority party. She could be
- 12:33Speaker 1: the governor of Ohio if we're not careful. And if
- 12:36Speaker 1: we're not careful, it's because the establishment media, I think,
- 12:40Speaker 1: has done a– they've reinvented fake news. We're in fake
- 12:43Speaker 1: news 2.0. I feel like we're in a huge fake
- 12:46Speaker 1: news moment. The vice president did a town hall with
- 12:50Speaker 1: Jesse Waters, I think it was last night, and I
- 12:52Speaker 1: got a cut of it in a young woman. I
- 12:55Speaker 1: think earnestly asked a question, which was a fairly interesting
- 12:58Speaker 1: question about cost of living and the vice president. This
- 13:03Speaker 1: is the cut. OK, I want to play for you
- 13:06Speaker 1: the question and the vice president's initial reaction. And then
- 13:10Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you his full context reaction.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I'm going to explain to you why I feel like
- 13:15Speaker 1: I'm concerned about the rate of fake news in this
- 13:17Speaker 1: particular election. Cut 16, please, guys.
- 13:21Speaker 8: That my generation hears from the right is to get
- 13:23Speaker 8: married young, have kids young, have as many kids as possible.
- 13:27Speaker 8: And I think what the right doesn't acknowledge most of
- 13:29Speaker 8: the time is how disincentivized we are currently because of
- 13:32Speaker 8: the cost of owning a home and the general expenses
- 13:35Speaker 8: of raising a family. And so my question is, how
- 13:38Speaker 8: does the right and yourself expect us to start families
- 13:41Speaker 8: young when the average price of a home in America
- 13:43Speaker 8: now costs more than $ 415, 000, which just feels out of
- 13:45Speaker 8: reach for us?
- 13:48Speaker 6: Sure.
- 13:48Speaker 5: Sure.
- 13:49Speaker 9: Well, first of all, again, thank you for the question
- 13:50Speaker 9: and thanks for the support. I want to point out
- 13:54Speaker 9: that I think that I've been asked four or maybe
- 13:56Speaker 9: five questions by my count. I've only been asked one
- 13:59Speaker 9: question about John Houston. And it was by Jesse Water.
- 14:03Speaker 9: That's what people are talking about. Maybe you should run
- 14:07Speaker 9: for Senate on the Democratic side here in Texas.
- 14:11Speaker 8: OK, so.
- 14:12Speaker 1: All right. So that's good, guys. So that's how it begins.
- 14:15Speaker 1: It's a good question. Young people feel concerned about the
- 14:18Speaker 1: cost of living, particularly home prices, and it's disincentivizing them
- 14:23Speaker 1: to do what a lot of conservatives say, which is
- 14:25Speaker 1: get married and start a family and then try to
- 14:26Speaker 1: buy a home. So Vance goes and he makes a
- 14:30Speaker 1: silly joke about John Husted, which is probably– I'm guessing
- 14:33Speaker 1: he would have taken that back as his initial response.
- 14:37Speaker 1: That clip right now on the Aaron Ruppar account, which
- 14:39Speaker 1: is a very popular left-wing account, is at 6.6 million
- 14:42Speaker 1: views right now as I'm recording the show. Now I
- 14:45Speaker 1: want to play for you the rest of the vice
- 14:47Speaker 1: president's answer. Play cut 17. It's going to be a little.
- 14:49Speaker 9: Bit of a complicated answer because I think we have
- 14:51Speaker 9: to take stock of the fact that the reason why
- 14:55Speaker 9: housing exploded in the United States of America is in
- 14:58Speaker 9: part because we allowed 20 million illegal aliens into our
- 15:02Speaker 9: country to buy homes that ought by right go to
- 15:04Speaker 9: American citizens. Another reason why housing got too expensive in
- 15:09Speaker 9: this country is because we allowed homes to be bought
- 15:12Speaker 9: up by Wall Street and foreign investors when those homes
- 15:15Speaker 9: ought to go to American citizens. And part of the
- 15:18Speaker 9: reason I'm so proud of our work on the Trump
- 15:20Speaker 9: administration is that on both of those issues, getting illegal
- 15:23Speaker 9: aliens out, stopping the housing benefits that were going to
- 15:26Speaker 9: illegal aliens, but also banning the practice of Wall Street
- 15:29Speaker 9: buying up American homes. We've done all of that in
- 15:32Speaker 9: the last 18 months.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And that is absolutely a fantastic answer. And that, from
- 15:38Speaker 1: the Vice President's account, the Vice President of the United States,
- 15:40Speaker 1: his official account, at VP on XE Everything app, is
- 15:43Speaker 1: at 165,000 views. So you guys want to do the
- 15:47Speaker 1: math on that? We are talking dozens of times more
- 15:53Speaker 1: views for the joke about Houston and nothing with the
- 15:58Speaker 1: actual content, which is fantastic. Which is the major problems
- 16:02Speaker 1: here is, first of all, we've got to understand this,
- 16:04Speaker 1: where the root causes. The number one issue here is immigration.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Too much immigration legal, too much immigration illegal is driving
- 16:11Speaker 1: up the cost of housing. And who do you trust
- 16:15Speaker 1: more on immigration? Do you trust the people who opened
- 16:17Speaker 1: the borders completely and then allowed for way too many
- 16:20Speaker 1: H-1B workers to come in? Or do you trust the
- 16:22Speaker 1: MAGA wing and the conservative movement? That is the response.
- 16:25Speaker 1: But we don't get to that response in the viral clip.
- 16:27Speaker 1: What we get to in the viral clip is just J.D.
- 16:29Speaker 1: makes kind of a silly joke. And also there's more
- 16:32Speaker 1: to the answer that I think would be important to
- 16:35Speaker 1: point out. is that first of all, you have kids
- 16:37Speaker 1: and you start a family because it's fulfilling. And the
- 16:40Speaker 1: alternative to buying a house is worse, regardless if the
- 16:42Speaker 1: houses are expensive. But we can't just look at the
- 16:44Speaker 1: average price of a home. You shouldn't necessarily get an
- 16:47Speaker 1: average home when you're in your 20s. It'd be nice
- 16:50Speaker 1: if you're a real baller, you can do it. But
- 16:51Speaker 1: for the most part, maybe look at a smaller home
- 16:54Speaker 1: in a community with a lot of opportunity for a
- 16:57Speaker 1: good community plus good job opportunities. And the fact is
- 17:01Speaker 1: that a lot of private equity, a lot of predatory lending,
- 17:04Speaker 1: a lot of younger people getting indebted to universities for
- 17:07Speaker 1: useless liberal arts degrees and way too much immigration is
- 17:10Speaker 1: the reason why we have this problem. And so who
- 17:13Speaker 1: are the ones who are offering any sort of reasonable
- 17:15Speaker 1: alternative to fix it? It's the MAGA Republicans. Do people
- 17:18Speaker 1: know that, though, heading to Election Day? I'm not so sure.
- 17:20Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So I spent all this time
- 17:27Speaker 1: sending the radio audience to the podcast feed. But the
- 17:30Speaker 1: podcast feed, if you don't listen live, you miss all
- 17:32Speaker 1: Sean's bangers. DJ Sean McConnell here. Some Kate Bush. Nice. Okay.
- 17:39Speaker 7: All right.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So I got to tell you guys about what we're
- 17:40Speaker 1: going to do on election night here at Salem. We've
- 17:43Speaker 1: got something. We're calling it Decision 2026. Decision 2026. I'm
- 17:47Speaker 1: going to make that pronunciation a little smoother. But we're
- 17:51Speaker 1: going to have election day coverage all day long. So
- 17:53Speaker 1: obviously on the Salem radio stations... and on the Salem
- 17:56Speaker 1: News Channel, which is OTT, over-the-top streaming. If you have streaming,
- 18:00Speaker 1: you probably have Salem on your cable provider, whatever you got, satellite.
- 18:05Speaker 1: You probably have it, and if you don't, you should
- 18:07Speaker 1: go to the Salem News Channel, and you should figure
- 18:08Speaker 1: it out because we're going to have some fun. I'm
- 18:11Speaker 1: co-hosting with Gallagher for a couple hours, but I know
- 18:13Speaker 1: we're going to have up-to-the-minute results all night, and it's
- 18:16Speaker 1: going to be fun. I will be there as well as,
- 18:18Speaker 1: I think, pretty much all my colleagues, probably all of them.
- 18:20Speaker 1: It's going to be fun. Decision 2026. That is November 3rd.
- 18:23Speaker 1: That is Tuesday. And please be there because I don't
- 18:26Speaker 1: want to do this stuff just for Gallagher's audience. I
- 18:28Speaker 1: want my audience there, too. So show up. It's going
- 18:30Speaker 1: to be fun. I'm telling you guys about the Z
- 18:32Speaker 1: stack as well. This is something that is a great
- 18:35Speaker 1: partners on the show. And they also have do something
- 18:38Speaker 1: I like, which they boost your immune system. You guys
- 18:40Speaker 1: remember the late Dr. Zev Zelenko? He was a guy
- 18:44Speaker 1: who's out there as a frontline doctor during the pandemic
- 18:47Speaker 1: and saying that, you know what? People need help. They're
- 18:49Speaker 1: getting freaked out by the headlines. And the initial responses
- 18:53Speaker 1: from the medical establishment are not helpful. He was a
- 18:56Speaker 1: frontline physician. He did interview everywhere. He was consulting with
- 18:59Speaker 1: the White House. President Trump, you might recall, cited him
- 19:01Speaker 1: in a press briefing. And he formulated the Z-Stack based
- 19:05Speaker 1: off of all this stuff. It helps you build up
- 19:08Speaker 1: your immune system to fight back. It's the exact doses
- 19:10Speaker 1: your immune system needs. needs, and he titrates this perfectly
- 19:14Speaker 1: so that he is optimizing your own body. He was
- 19:19Speaker 1: a platform for it. He was a tax for it,
- 19:21Speaker 1: but he was proven right. And today, his original formula
- 19:23Speaker 1: carries on that legacy, and you don't have to wait
- 19:25Speaker 1: for the next scare to get involved. Take control of
- 19:27Speaker 1: your immune system and give your body what it needs
- 19:29Speaker 1: to fight. Z-Stack is right now offering their biggest discount ever,
- 19:34Speaker 1: $ 4. 95 plus shipping and handling. That is less than a
- 19:38Speaker 1: third of the price of one of Amy Acton's appletini's.
- 19:40Speaker 1: $ 4. 95 plus shipping and handling at ZStackLife.com slash Alex. That's
- 19:46Speaker 1: ZStackLife.com slash Alex. You owe it to yourself to give.
- 19:50Speaker 1: it a shot. Yeah, it's a, looking at some of
- 19:53Speaker 1: the radicalism, the fact that the Democrats are cheating in
- 19:56Speaker 1: the Alaska race, that they're trying to disenfranchise, they're trying
- 19:59Speaker 1: to trick the voters of Alaska. Do you guys believe
- 20:03Speaker 1: how appalling this is that they put a fake Dan
- 20:05Speaker 1: Sullivan on the ballot? The Mary Peltola campaign was well
- 20:08Speaker 1: aware of it, if not actively involved in it. That's
- 20:11Speaker 1: the Democrat campaign. Trying to trick the voters to vote
- 20:14Speaker 1: for the wrong Dan Sullivan. And this is tolerated. This is,
- 20:18Speaker 1: in fact, encouraged. The media is acting like this isn't
- 20:22Speaker 1: even a big deal that this is happening. I want
- 20:25Speaker 1: to play this cut. This is Robert Garcia, who is
- 20:28Speaker 1: likely to lead the Oversight Committee if the Democrats win
- 20:32Speaker 1: the House. So this frames up the state pretty big league,
- 20:35Speaker 1: in my opinion, because Robert Garcia, if he becomes oversight committee,
- 20:39Speaker 1: he's saying flat out, we have no interest in figuring
- 20:41Speaker 1: out the blatant election fraud in Alaska. Let's play cut 11, please, guys.
- 20:45Speaker 10: I mean, look, obviously, Chairman Comer will be chair for,
- 20:48Speaker 10: I think, a couple more months, and he can certainly
- 20:50Speaker 10: bring up any hearing he wants.
- 20:51Speaker 1: I think what's important is it appears.
- 20:53Speaker 10: That whoever was involved in this was fired by the
- 20:55Speaker 10: Patola campaign over the summer. I think the state of
- 20:58Speaker 10: Alaska should take any lead in investigations.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I'm sure that they will.
- 21:03Speaker 10: And it's interesting, of course, that Donald Trump has been
- 21:05Speaker 10: trying to also cause issues and havoc with the Alaska
- 21:09Speaker 10: election now for weeks. And the idea that Donald Trump
- 21:12Speaker 10: is somehow the arbiter of good ethics in elections is crazy.
- 21:16Speaker 10: This guy, all he tries to do is cause chaos.
- 21:19Speaker 10: And so let's let the people of Alaska vote. If
- 21:22Speaker 10: there's going to be an investigation, we'll find out what happened.
- 21:25Speaker 10: But I suspect that this isn't going to be a
- 21:27Speaker 10: big issue in an election day.
- 21:28Speaker 1: People understand. This is Donald Trump is a bad guy,
- 21:32Speaker 1: so we're allowed to cheat in Alaska. They're trying to
- 21:35Speaker 1: disenfranchise Alaskan voters. That someone who is trying to impersonate
- 21:40Speaker 1: a Dan Sullivan, he's not campaigning at all. Do you
- 21:43Speaker 1: guys know that? The fake Dan Sullivan is not a
- 21:45Speaker 1: real candidate. He's not going on the campaign trail. Does
- 21:48Speaker 1: anyone in the media care about this? So a local
- 21:52Speaker 1: Alaska reporter pointed out that Sullivan has not done a
- 21:57Speaker 1: single campaign event. He doesn't do campaign events. The fake
- 22:00Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan, the decoy Dan.
- 22:02Speaker 8: Why?
- 22:03Speaker 1: Because he's designed just to trick voters. And the person
- 22:05Speaker 1: who's in charge of oversight for the Democrats in the
- 22:08Speaker 1: House said it's actually Trump is a really bad guy,
- 22:10Speaker 1: so we're not going to look into it. We're going
- 22:12Speaker 1: to completely ignore this. Frames up the stakes a little bit, right?
- 22:17Speaker 1: People who are thinking of staying home because maybe you're
- 22:19Speaker 1: not 100% satisfied with parts of the Trump agenda. All right,
- 22:22Speaker 1: we have our guests on the line, guys.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Okay, cool.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Well, Mike Beltran is with me. He's running for a
- 22:28Speaker 1: crucial seat in Florida right now where he's taking on
- 22:31Speaker 1: incumbent Kathy Castor in the 14th Congressional District. And you've
- 22:36Speaker 1: got an interesting story there, Micah. Glad to have you
- 22:39Speaker 1: on the show. So you're a guy, deeply educated, Harvard Law.
- 22:43Speaker 1: You find yourself down in Florida. Give me that trajectory.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Graduated Harvard Law School right before the recession. I worked
- 22:51Speaker 3: for a little while in New York, and it wasn't
- 22:53Speaker 3: a great situation, either economically or in terms of individual
- 22:57Speaker 3: freedom in New York City. So in 2010, in the
- 23:00Speaker 3: middle of the recession, I moved down to Florida to
- 23:03Speaker 3: clerk for a federal judge. I started my law practice.
- 23:06Speaker 3: I do business litigation here in Tampa, and I started
- 23:09Speaker 3: my family. And that was all... 17 years ago, the
- 23:13Speaker 3: Tampa Bay area has given me so much. When I
- 23:16Speaker 3: was a bachelor and I moved here, Kathy Castor was
- 23:18Speaker 3: a congresswoman and I lived in her district and had
- 23:21Speaker 3: to live with that. And I moved to the suburbs
- 23:25Speaker 3: and I served six years in the Florida House from
- 23:27Speaker 3: 2018 until retiring in 2024. And then they redrew the
- 23:32Speaker 3: districts and she was going to be my congresswoman again.
- 23:35Speaker 3: And this time I had some political experience and I
- 23:37Speaker 3: had some money and I think I had a reputation
- 23:40Speaker 3: in the community. And I figured this was the time
- 23:43Speaker 3: for her to go. I didn't want her to be
- 23:44Speaker 3: my congresswoman again.
- 23:47Speaker 1: All right, so it's a super high-profile race. The battleground
- 23:50Speaker 1: here is very well-funded. There's a lot of money going
- 23:53Speaker 1: into this, and it should technically be a Republican-leaning area,
- 23:56Speaker 1: but it's been redrawn, so there's always a lot of
- 23:58Speaker 1: concern here. You have a lot of high-profile endorsements. Tell
- 24:02Speaker 1: me about some of the endorsements, and tell me about
- 24:04Speaker 1: some of the policies that you'd like to see enacted.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Well, we've got all the endorsements you'd expect me to have.
- 24:11Speaker 3: We have Rick Scott, Ashley Moody, the Governor Ron DeSantis,
- 24:15Speaker 3: the President. We had Jim Jordan come down. The Speaker
- 24:18Speaker 3: came down. Leader Scalise came down. Whip Emmer's coming on Sunday,
- 24:23Speaker 3: along with some other members of the leadership. So we've
- 24:27Speaker 3: got a lot of great endorsements. We kicked off in
- 24:29Speaker 3: the primary. I had over 100 local endorsements, including some
- 24:33Speaker 3: of the congressional delegation from here in West Florida. So
- 24:37Speaker 3: we're doing really well, and then we've... We've got the
- 24:41Speaker 3: Hillsborough Firefighters. We've got the FOP, PBA, some other first
- 24:47Speaker 3: responder organizations. So we've got all the endorsements we would
- 24:51Speaker 3: expect to have. And we've got some good turnout, too.
- 24:54Speaker 3: We're about even with going into the last weekend of
- 24:58Speaker 3: early voting. They're up in mail and we're up in
- 25:01Speaker 3: early voting, early in-person voting, that is. And then we
- 25:05Speaker 3: tend to do very well on Election Day.
- 25:07Speaker 1: So give me your top three issues for you in
- 25:09Speaker 1: this campaign.
- 25:12Speaker 3: The first one is the deficit. We spend $ 2 trillion
- 25:16Speaker 3: a year more than we take in. That's unacceptable. Half
- 25:20Speaker 3: of that is interest on previously accrued debt. Most of
- 25:23Speaker 3: that debt has been accrued on my opponent's watch during
- 25:26Speaker 3: the last 20 years that she's been in Congress. She's
- 25:28Speaker 3: never voted for a balanced budget. When we were in Tallahassee,
- 25:32Speaker 3: we always had a balanced budget. And a lot of
- 25:35Speaker 3: that debt is being monetized, meaning we're printing and borrowing money,
- 25:39Speaker 3: and that's highly inflationary. It's leading to the second issue,
- 25:42Speaker 3: which is affordability. My opponent voted against the working family's
- 25:45Speaker 3: tax cut. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
- 25:49Speaker 3: no tax on Social Security. She's against all of those things.
- 25:52Speaker 3: She has done nothing for affordability. She complains about various
- 25:56Speaker 3: problems that have existed for all or part of the
- 25:58Speaker 3: last 20 years. She either attempted to solve these problems
- 26:02Speaker 3: and failed, or she didn't try to solve these problems, or,
- 26:05Speaker 3: as is often the case, she created some of these problems,
- 26:08Speaker 3: such as the deficit, such as the debt, such as
- 26:10Speaker 3: the affordability issues. And and so we need to go
- 26:15Speaker 3: to Washington. We need to obviously enforce immigration laws. We
- 26:19Speaker 3: have anchor babies and birth tourism here in the United States.
- 26:22Speaker 3: I've pledged to file a constitutional amendment to address that
- 26:25Speaker 3: and to file a constitutional amendment to redress the deficit
- 26:29Speaker 3: spending in Washington.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Give your take on immigration and the border.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Well, my opponent has voted against border funding. She, of course,
- 26:40Speaker 3: votes for trans surgeries for minors, but she votes against
- 26:43Speaker 3: border funding. She also votes against hurricane relief, by the way. Look,
- 26:47Speaker 3: we need to enforce the border laws. We need to
- 26:51Speaker 3: enforce immigration laws. The only people who should be coming
- 26:54Speaker 3: across the border should be at designated checkpoints subject to
- 26:58Speaker 3: government approval and subject to our immigration laws. We've largely...
- 27:03Speaker 3: accomplished that. But we have a lot of people, millions
- 27:06Speaker 3: and millions of people who crossed the border illegally during
- 27:09Speaker 3: the Biden administration. And I wish we didn't have to
- 27:11Speaker 3: deal with that problem. Biden and Harris and my opponent
- 27:16Speaker 3: should not have let that problem occur. They should not
- 27:19Speaker 3: have let all these illegal immigrants accumulate in the country.
- 27:23Speaker 3: They should have allowed legal immigration. And so now we
- 27:27Speaker 3: have to deal with that problem.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Okay, so talk to me about turnout because this is
- 27:32Speaker 1: all all that really matters at this point and there's
- 27:35Speaker 1: not a ton of polling that's public on the race
- 27:37Speaker 1: a lot of the various crystal balls considered a toss-up
- 27:40Speaker 1: even a lean republican some of the betting markets are
- 27:43Speaker 1: betting on your opponent right now so this is really
- 27:45Speaker 1: a nail biter an expensive one uh what do you
- 27:48Speaker 1: what are you seeing so far in the turnout for
- 27:50Speaker 1: the early voting and what's the key to getting over
- 27:53Speaker 1: the finish line on tuesday Sure.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Well, look, this is a Republican district by registration. My independence,
- 28:00Speaker 3: even in years like 2018 and 2020, which may not
- 28:03Speaker 3: have been great for Republicans, my independence tends to skew conservative.
- 28:08Speaker 3: That's the vibe I've been getting at the door. I
- 28:10Speaker 3: was at the Bloomingdale Library yesterday, and it was extremely busy.
- 28:14Speaker 3: And that's in my old territory here in East Hillsborough County.
- 28:19Speaker 3: And Because she lost so much of her territory over
- 28:23Speaker 3: in St. Pete and because I represented such a large
- 28:25Speaker 3: population over here in East Hillsboro, we've both represented a
- 28:30Speaker 3: large portion of the district before. So it's not like
- 28:33Speaker 3: I have those typical issues challenging an incumbent. And as
- 28:36Speaker 3: to the betting markets, I'll say that the betting markets
- 28:39Speaker 3: had me down in the teams even in the single
- 28:42Speaker 3: digits in my primary, and I won by almost 16
- 28:45Speaker 3: points in an eight-person field. So the idea that the
- 28:48Speaker 3: betting markets are accurate, I think, is kind of laughable.
- 28:51Speaker 3: They weren't accurate in the primary. I don't think they're
- 28:54Speaker 3: going to be accurate in the general. And in terms
- 28:56Speaker 3: of the turnout, we're not seeing the issues that there
- 28:59Speaker 3: are maybe countywide or other areas of the state. We're
- 29:03Speaker 3: roughly even in Republican versus Democrat turnout in my district,
- 29:06Speaker 3: which is a great position to be in going into
- 29:08Speaker 3: election day.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a tough road to hoe for the
- 29:13Speaker 1: polling people thus far. And so we'll see how Tuesday goes.
- 29:17Speaker 1: But that could be a big story if the polling
- 29:20Speaker 1: doesn't turn out to be what was promised. I got
- 29:22Speaker 1: about 30 seconds here. Mike, tell me a little bit
- 29:25Speaker 1: about what you want. Make a closing argument to me
- 29:27Speaker 1: and tell people where they should go to find out
- 29:28Speaker 1: more about the campaign.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Yeah, well, look, we can continue the course we have
- 29:32Speaker 3: in Florida with individual liberty, separation of powers, and limited government.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Or we can choose runaway inflation, confiscatory taxation, infringement of
- 29:40Speaker 3: the Constitution, court packing, open borders, and crime-filled streets. Those
- 29:43Speaker 3: are all things that my opponents voted for. You can
- 29:46Speaker 3: go to BeltranforCongress.com to get more information. Find out more
- 29:50Speaker 3: about me, and please vote on her before November 3rd
- 29:53Speaker 3: to cast her out. You can vote 7-7 anytime this weekend,
- 29:57Speaker 3: and then from 7-7 at any early voting place in Hillsboro,
- 30:01Speaker 3: and then 7-7 on Election Day at your local polling place.
- 30:04Speaker 3: The information's at VoteHillsboro.gov. Vote for Mike Beltran.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Perfect.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Mike Beltran, thank you for joining the show, and best
- 30:11Speaker 1: of luck to you on Tuesday. Guys, I've got to
- 30:14Speaker 1: tell you, after the election, I don't know what's going
- 30:16Speaker 1: to happen, but the bond market right now is hot.
- 30:19Speaker 1: And I don't want you to sleep on gold because
- 30:20Speaker 1: I got a prediction. I do think it's going to
- 30:22Speaker 1: go up. I'm not a financial advisor, but I think
- 30:24Speaker 1: it's going to go up regardless of who wins after
- 30:26Speaker 1: the election. I could be wrong, of course, but that's
- 30:29Speaker 1: just my thought. And it is a buyer's market for it.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Monetary gold has been the game for 25 years. And
- 30:34Speaker 1: they specialize in rolling over IRAs and 401ks. So if
- 30:38Speaker 1: you left a job and you got a retirement account,
- 30:41Speaker 1: these could be the guys that could help you get
- 30:43Speaker 1: that more activated in physical gold, which is a very
- 30:46Speaker 1: safe bet in the long run. And with a growing debt,
- 30:50Speaker 1: a weakening dollar, high demand from central banks, some central
- 30:52Speaker 1: banks buying up a bunch of gold, moving their gold around.
- 30:54Speaker 1: They'll help educate you. Super nice guys, too. You're going
- 30:56Speaker 1: to hear from one of their top people after the break.
- 31:00Speaker 1: But alexlovesgold.com is the website. alexlovesgold.com, 800-888-0807. That's 800-888-0807. Monetary Gold.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Good guys. A lot of information for you. They could
- 31:13Speaker 1: help you out a lot. Check it out. All right,
- 31:17Speaker 1: the precious metals market is always super exciting and something
- 31:21Speaker 1: we can talk radio business. Keep a very close eye
- 31:23Speaker 1: on Matthew Sullivan, the head of marketing for monetary gold
- 31:26Speaker 1: is with me. And Matthew, we get a lot to
- 31:28Speaker 1: get into. There's a lot of economic items that are
- 31:30Speaker 1: always front and center for me, but gold right now,
- 31:34Speaker 1: Could we be seeing a gold correction? Gold fallen pretty
- 31:37Speaker 1: significantly from its record highs earlier in the year, but
- 31:40Speaker 1: at the same time, we're seeing a lot of Americans
- 31:43Speaker 1: put billions of dollars into gold-backed funds. So what's going
- 31:47Speaker 1: on here? Clarify what's the difference, and What should people do?
- 31:51Speaker 1: What should they make of this correction?
- 31:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:53Speaker 5: So as you said earlier, we have coming off of
- 31:56Speaker 5: our second month in a row of all-time, of gold
- 31:59Speaker 5: being down, right? Back in March, February, gold hit its
- 32:03Speaker 5: all-time high, over $ 5, 000. Today's prices were sitting at around $ 4, 000.
- 32:08Speaker 5: So about a 20% difference, correction, whatever you want to
- 32:12Speaker 5: call it, discount, what have you. So right now is
- 32:15Speaker 5: kind of a very interesting time with gold, right? As
- 32:18Speaker 5: you said earlier, about $ 3. 8 billion was put into gold-backed
- 32:24Speaker 5: ETFs just in September. And gold-backed ETF is an opening
- 32:29Speaker 5: to the price of gold. It's not the actual physical
- 32:31Speaker 5: gold itself. But if we look at Q3 as a whole,
- 32:35Speaker 5: $ 31 million was spent on these ETFs.
- 32:38Speaker 7: Now, again.
- 32:39Speaker 5: Difference in gold bars and coins, of course, but it
- 32:42Speaker 5: is showing that there is still a lot of resilience,
- 32:44Speaker 5: a lot of effort, and still a lot of attention
- 32:46Speaker 5: put onto gold. Now, if you are thinking about gold,
- 32:49Speaker 5: now might be a great time for you to buy
- 32:51Speaker 5: because you are buying at a discount. It's the old
- 32:54Speaker 5: idea of buy low, sell high. This is your buy
- 32:58Speaker 5: low point. So if you are thinking about gold, right
- 33:00Speaker 5: now may be the perfect time to do it, especially
- 33:02Speaker 5: with kind of all the things going on right now
- 33:04Speaker 5: and might be facing a new Washington, new government, new
- 33:07Speaker 5: bunch of everything. this might be your time.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting. And then a lot of the
- 33:12Speaker 1: time with these midterms that things like precious metals go
- 33:15Speaker 1: up right away. So again, the buy low, sell high
- 33:17Speaker 1: thing is definitely something for people to consider at this time.
- 33:20Speaker 1: But I want to get into why is gold falling
- 33:23Speaker 1: when the economy is uncertain? But there's a lot of
- 33:26Speaker 1: positive signs. My live show audience will have heard me
- 33:30Speaker 1: break down some of the GDP numbers that came out today,
- 33:33Speaker 1: and they were sparkling. And people are not walking around
- 33:35Speaker 1: as if GDP is is doing as well as it is.
- 33:40Speaker 1: And the Fed saying they're not going to cut rates
- 33:42Speaker 1: right now. Break some of that down, Matthew, and tell
- 33:45Speaker 1: me exactly where you think gold fits in with all this.
- 33:47Speaker 5: Yeah, so you've made some really good points. You know,
- 33:50Speaker 5: GDP is up to 3.4%. Last quarter, we're sitting at 2.2%.
- 33:54Speaker 5: So 1.2% of drives, which it doesn't seem like a lot,
- 33:58Speaker 5: but it does show that there are some very positive
- 34:00Speaker 5: signs of the economy growing.
- 34:02Speaker 7: It's stabilizing.
- 34:03Speaker 5: There could be some of the weak points that we
- 34:05Speaker 5: saw over the summer with the war starting to potentially
- 34:08Speaker 5: ease out. Now, that does not mean things like inflation,
- 34:12Speaker 5: government spending, debt, overall uncertainty are going away anytime soon.
- 34:17Speaker 5: In fact, we are increasing more and more debt on
- 34:20Speaker 5: a daily basis. You mentioned inflation. Inflation is still holding strong.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Fuel prices are still very, very high. We're looking at
- 34:29Speaker 5: things like shipping costs, transportation costs. All those are all
- 34:33Speaker 5: factoring into this really big pile of inflation. And gold
- 34:37Speaker 5: is not what we would call a typical weather bell.
- 34:40Speaker 5: Maybe we'll have inflation, right? Inflation goes up, gold goes up.
- 34:42Speaker 5: That's not necessarily the case every single time. In fact,
- 34:45Speaker 5: we're actually seeing the exact opposite of that right now.
- 34:48Speaker 5: But what gold is doing is it's paying attention to
- 34:51Speaker 5: a lot of these things. It's seeing the markets are
- 34:53Speaker 5: starting to even out. It's seeing that there was no
- 34:56Speaker 5: rise in overall growth. that interest rates, right? They're still
- 35:01Speaker 5: holding at 3.75 to 4%. A lot of people were
- 35:04Speaker 5: hedging that interest rates were going to come up in
- 35:06Speaker 5: the last day or so, but they didn't. They stayed
- 35:08Speaker 5: sent They stayed where they were, even though it was
- 35:10Speaker 5: not a completely unanimous decision. Gold sees all that, and
- 35:13Speaker 5: it's taking kind of signals like, hey, there are some
- 35:15Speaker 5: interesting things going on here. This might affect the dollar's output.
- 35:19Speaker 5: This might be affecting the next round of policy that
- 35:21Speaker 5: comes through Washington. And gold's sitting back, and it's biding
- 35:24Speaker 5: its time. It's not a one-to-one-to-one ratio. X goes up,
- 35:30Speaker 5: Y goes down, gold goes up. That's not how this works.
- 35:33Speaker 5: So again, going back to it, gold's its own independent thing.
- 35:37Speaker 5: Unlike stocks, bonds, the markets doesn't pay dividends, right? It
- 35:40Speaker 5: goes up, it goes down. And it's all based off
- 35:42Speaker 5: of these things that we're seeing right now.
- 35:44Speaker 1: So here's what I'm finding confusing. We've got inflation, we've
- 35:47Speaker 1: got high energy prices, and there's all sorts of things
- 35:50Speaker 1: that are uncertain. Jobs market, very stable. We've talked about that.
- 35:53Speaker 1: We also know we got the rising debt, debts now
- 35:55Speaker 1: surpassed GDP, which it has in 70 years. It's not
- 35:58Speaker 1: a good thing. So what of all this combined at all,
- 36:01Speaker 1: what would make people interested in gold, especially when we
- 36:05Speaker 1: see gold going down right now, but what would compel
- 36:07Speaker 1: people to get interested at that this particular moment?
- 36:10Speaker 7: I mean, it's a really interesting time.
- 36:11Speaker 5: Again, we are about to hit a potential political turmoil spot, right?
- 36:16Speaker 5: If things go the way that things have been slated,
- 36:18Speaker 5: and let's just say the left does take the House,
- 36:21Speaker 5: even potentially gets more power in the Senate, it's possible
- 36:23Speaker 5: Washington comes to a complete and utter standstill. And here's
- 36:27Speaker 5: a really important thing. I believe the government budget is
- 36:31Speaker 5: coming due on the 11th. Now, the last time something
- 36:33Speaker 5: like this happened, Washington shut down for 43 days, right?
- 36:37Speaker 5: Really long amount of time where nothing was done. If
- 36:41Speaker 5: that happens, markets could panic. People could panic. Tax bills
- 36:44Speaker 5: that were coming due are going to be sitting there.
- 36:47Speaker 5: Interest payments on debt potentially might not be made. So
- 36:50Speaker 5: it could cause this massive, I don't want to call
- 36:52Speaker 5: it wave, but let's call it tidal influx of all
- 36:57Speaker 5: these things coming together that's going to be making this
- 36:59Speaker 5: really big kind of nasty stew of what's going to
- 37:02Speaker 5: happen next, right? And when things like turmoil, I'm not
- 37:07Speaker 5: even talking about war or anything like that, just internally
- 37:09Speaker 5: for now, all that kind of comes together, gold's going
- 37:11Speaker 5: to see kind of some interesting changes in prices potentially,
- 37:14Speaker 5: especially we start seeing a weakened dollar, right? When the
- 37:17Speaker 5: dollar goes down, typically gold goes up. People lose confidence
- 37:20Speaker 5: in the U.S.
- 37:20Speaker 7: Economy.
- 37:21Speaker 5: Yeah, GDP is up right now, but what is that
- 37:23Speaker 5: going to look like at the end of Q4 as
- 37:25Speaker 5: we're transitioning potentially to a whole new government body?
- 37:28Speaker 7: So again, it is a very, very positive outlook for gold.
- 37:31Speaker 5: And with the discount in price right now, this is
- 37:34Speaker 5: a fantastic time to really be looking considerably at gold
- 37:37Speaker 5: because there is a potential in the next six months
- 37:39Speaker 5: gold could skyrocket again.
- 37:41Speaker 7: We don't know.
- 37:41Speaker 5: We don't have a crystal ball. But if things continue
- 37:43Speaker 5: on the path they are, it does look pretty solid
- 37:45Speaker 5: for gold going forward.
- 37:46Speaker 1: So people who listen to my show have heard me
- 37:48Speaker 1: mention that central banks moving its physical gold right now.
- 37:52Speaker 1: And I want to provide some context we have admitted here, Matthew.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Netherlands in particular. they moved a
- 37:59Speaker 1: huge amount of its gold reserves from North America to London.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Why would a country go through all that trouble? And
- 38:06Speaker 1: most importantly, what does that tell us about the importance
- 38:09Speaker 1: of physical gold?
- 38:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 38:11Speaker 7: So what they did, they did this back in September, right?
- 38:14Speaker 5: I don't know if they had a crystal ball seeing
- 38:16Speaker 5: what was happening now, but they took 86 tons of
- 38:20Speaker 5: their gold out of central banks in the United States
- 38:22Speaker 5: and Canada, and they moved it to London. Now, the
- 38:24Speaker 5: reason they said this is they want it closer to
- 38:27Speaker 5: home if Economic uncertainty, or in case of emergency, needs it.
- 38:32Speaker 5: So what they're seeing right now is all the things
- 38:34Speaker 5: that were happening in the United States, potentially a bit
- 38:37Speaker 5: of a kerfuffle happening here, and now what's happening in Europe,
- 38:40Speaker 5: they're now bringing, kind of calling all their cards in
- 38:43Speaker 5: to say, hey, if the If dollar tanks, if the
- 38:47Speaker 5: Euro tanks, if God forbid something happens with our government
- 38:50Speaker 5: and our economy starts going down, we have this now
- 38:53Speaker 5: massive stockpile of gold that we can fall back on,
- 38:56Speaker 5: keep ourselves afloat, sell it out at a premium, use
- 38:59Speaker 5: that to help pay our covers, help pay our bills,
- 39:03Speaker 5: and make sure that we stay afloat. Now, this is
- 39:05Speaker 5: a really important lesson to kind of think about when
- 39:08Speaker 5: you're an individual as well, right? We all have bills
- 39:10Speaker 5: to pay. We all have rising costs that are hitting
- 39:12Speaker 5: us every single day. If a big major shift happens
- 39:15Speaker 5: here and the dollar tanks, what does that kind of
- 39:18Speaker 5: leave you? Especially if you've saved, right? Your 401k gets
- 39:22Speaker 5: depleted if all you're in is stocks and bonds. Bull's
- 39:25Speaker 5: not necessarily going to have that exact same crazy market
- 39:27Speaker 5: correction as say a dollar, right? Where you could lose
- 39:30Speaker 5: potentially $ 100, 000 or a million dollars in retirement fund. Gold's
- 39:33Speaker 5: going to be a much more, could potentially be a
- 39:35Speaker 5: lot more of a stable option for you to hold.
- 39:37Speaker 5: And central banks see this.
- 39:39Speaker 7: That's why they.
- 39:39Speaker 5: Continually added more and more and more gold, not just
- 39:42Speaker 5: every month, every quarter. They've been setting records every single
- 39:45Speaker 5: year for the last two or three years now.
- 39:47Speaker 7: So I think a U.S.
- 39:48Speaker 5: Saver can really take a note from that and say, hey,
- 39:51Speaker 5: It'd be biggest banks in the world that are not
- 39:54Speaker 5: just considering about tomorrow, not considering about next month, heck,
- 39:56Speaker 5: not even considering about two years from now. They're thinking
- 39:59Speaker 5: decades down the line. They're investing in gold right now.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Maybe there's something that I need to look at as
- 40:03Speaker 5: an individual consumer as well.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Yeah, so many people in my audience and conservative talk
- 40:08Speaker 1: radio audience love the idea of the gold standard, and
- 40:10Speaker 1: yet not all of them own gold. So it's a
- 40:13Speaker 1: ask yourself that question. If that's you, if you like
- 40:15Speaker 1: the gold standard, but you don't have gold, then why
- 40:16Speaker 1: is that? So let's talk about physical gold ownership, what
- 40:20Speaker 1: that actually looks like, because you guys have a specialty,
- 40:22Speaker 1: which is gold IRAs, and you take your IRAs, you
- 40:26Speaker 1: can roll it over, you can take an old 401k.
- 40:28Speaker 1: So many of us have a retirement account from a
- 40:30Speaker 1: past job that we're just letting Atrophy, we're not really
- 40:33Speaker 1: thinking about it at all. Break it down specifically, what
- 40:36Speaker 1: are the options? And I should give the address, alexlovesgold.com
- 40:40Speaker 1: is the web address. There's a hotline, they're standing by
- 40:42Speaker 1: right now, 800-888-0807 for Monetary Gold. They're great partners in
- 40:44Speaker 1: this space, 800-888-0807, alexlovesgold.com. Tons of information there, tons of education.
- 40:54Speaker 1: But let's say someone is sitting on one of these IRAs,
- 40:57Speaker 1: one of these 401ks. It's not really working for them.
- 41:00Speaker 1: It's not optimized. What does this actually mean? What are
- 41:03Speaker 1: their options? What do you guys do?
- 41:05Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 41:05Speaker 5: So with what we do and what other gold IRA
- 41:08Speaker 5: companies do out there, if you have, say, that 401k IRA,
- 41:11Speaker 5: you're not pleased with the yield you've been getting. You're
- 41:14Speaker 5: getting a little anxious about what the stock market's going
- 41:16Speaker 5: to do next. You can actually roll that over into
- 41:19Speaker 5: a self-directed gold IRA. Now, the difference between that and
- 41:23Speaker 5: the stocks and bonds... Everything is still insured. Everything is
- 41:26Speaker 5: still safety. You can treat it just like your own IRA,
- 41:29Speaker 5: but instead of your traditional assets, you're investing in gold. Now,
- 41:32Speaker 5: the process is pretty simple. Let's just say you have
- 41:35Speaker 5: your 401k with $ 100, 000 in it from a company you
- 41:36Speaker 5: worked at 20 years ago. What you could do is
- 41:41Speaker 5: you can open a self-directed IRA and you transition those
- 41:44Speaker 5: funds directly from IRA A to self-directed IRA B. Usually
- 41:50Speaker 5: it's tax-free, penalty-free, the.
- 41:51Speaker 7: Whole nine yards.
- 41:52Speaker 5: You're not paying a distribution tax or anything like that.
- 41:55Speaker 5: From there, the account holder is going to set up
- 41:58Speaker 5: their account once the funds are available. Instead of picking
- 42:01Speaker 5: the stocks and bonds you want to do, you're picking
- 42:03Speaker 5: the precious metals coins that you want. Now, not every
- 42:06Speaker 5: single coin that you're going to see off the street,
- 42:08Speaker 5: say that really cool Star Wars collectible coin or this
- 42:11Speaker 5: fun Mickey Mouse coin, is going to be eligible for
- 42:14Speaker 5: an IR. For a precious metal IR, geez, that's a mouthful.
- 42:18Speaker 5: They're very, very select about what all you can do.
- 42:20Speaker 5: And the FDIC, the government, tax authorities, all government bodies,
- 42:24Speaker 5: they really watch this very carefully. And they're very, very
- 42:26Speaker 5: specific about what can go into a specific gold IRA.
- 42:30Speaker 5: I mean, that's really the whole process as a whole.
- 42:33Speaker 5: And as far as if people are interested in it,
- 42:35Speaker 5: the number one thing I would recommend is get educated.
- 42:38Speaker 5: Do your homework. Do speak to a company like us
- 42:42Speaker 5: here at Monetary Gold. I've been doing this for over
- 42:45Speaker 5: 25 years, helped over 45,000 customers. Yeah, a lot of
- 42:48Speaker 5: people really make that transition from traditional retirement savings into
- 42:52Speaker 5: a gold IRA. And really what's important is when you
- 42:55Speaker 5: are looking for a company like this, You want to
- 42:58Speaker 5: know the facts. You got to ask your questions. You
- 43:00Speaker 5: want to do your homework. You want to get straight answers.
- 43:02Speaker 5: And you really want to feel like, yes, my security
- 43:04Speaker 5: is here. I trust these company. This is really the
- 43:07Speaker 5: right decision for me. And that's the best part about
- 43:09Speaker 5: a gold IRA. It's all about personal choice.
- 43:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 43:12Speaker 1: And you guys have a free guide. So if you

- 43:36Speaker 1: So that's one reason why I recommend it. I'm pro-education
- 43:39Speaker 1: here on The Marlowe Show. So if you've been thinking
- 43:41Speaker 1: about physical gold, why wait another few months? Because who
- 43:45Speaker 1: knows if we could be on the verge of something
- 43:47Speaker 1: big here right after this midterm. I feel like today
- 43:49Speaker 1: is the day for many of you. So you should
- 43:51Speaker 1: definitely look into that option. But let's talk about monetary
- 43:55Speaker 1: gold in particular, Matt. What is monetary gold? How do
- 43:58Speaker 1: you guys differentiate yourself from a pretty crowded space when
- 44:01Speaker 1: it comes to the gold industry.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Yeah, look, you know, monetary gold is the oldest, I believe,
- 44:06Speaker 5: gold IRA company in the United States, right? We've been
- 44:09Speaker 5: doing this for almost three decades, right? 25, 26 years
- 44:12Speaker 5: of in business. 45,000 plus happy customers. If you want
- 44:17Speaker 5: to do your review homework, I find it very unlikely
- 44:20Speaker 5: you'll find a bad review based off of all of us.
- 44:23Speaker 5: We're extremely upfront. And with that age comes experience and
- 44:27Speaker 5: overall education. We have some of the best precious metal
- 44:31Speaker 5: specialists in the space. You know, they've been doing this
- 44:33Speaker 5: for a very, very, very long time. They know all
- 44:36Speaker 5: the ins and outs. They understand all the rules and
- 44:38Speaker 5: they're able to really communicate, you know, and help people
- 44:42Speaker 5: decide if this is right for them. It's not like
- 44:44Speaker 5: we need to push you into this, right? That's the
- 44:47Speaker 5: last absolute thing that you want to look for in
- 44:49Speaker 5: a gold IRA company is a fast, hard, heavy sales
- 44:51Speaker 5: pitch and somebody that really doesn't have your pure, pure
- 44:54Speaker 5: interest at heart. that's not monetary gold. You know, we
- 44:57Speaker 5: really do take the time to make sure that gold
- 44:59Speaker 5: is right for you. Because there are many instances where
- 45:01Speaker 5: it might not be right for you, right? And we
- 45:03Speaker 5: want to be able to communicate that to, you know,
- 45:05Speaker 5: our customers in a way that makes sense, you know,
- 45:08Speaker 5: not only for them, but, you know, for us, you know,
- 45:09Speaker 5: it's a two-way street, right? But yeah, monetary gold has
- 45:14Speaker 5: been doing this for a very, very long time. I've
- 45:15Speaker 5: been with them for a while now. And I have
- 45:17Speaker 5: to say, I've worked in this space for a while.
- 45:18Speaker 5: And They are some of the best that do it.

- 45:23Speaker 5: pursuing your own gold area of yourself, I invite you
