- 0:00Speaker 1: Especially with silver the people's money. You know, it's been
- 0:03Speaker 1: suppressed for so long people don't even really consider it
- 0:06Speaker 1: to be money anymore. But then again, for those who
- 0:08Speaker 1: are awake and aware and know and understand importance of possession,
- 0:11Speaker 1: you possession beats price any day.

- 0:44Speaker 3: to the Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Carrie Lutz.
- 0:48Speaker 3: It's October seventh of twenty twenty five, and I got
- 0:53Speaker 3: my good friend Mike here from Rethinking the Dollar. And Mike,
- 0:59Speaker 3: I love the time title of your site, of your channel,
- 1:02Speaker 3: because certainly the world is rethinking the dollar right now
- 1:06Speaker 3: as we speak. And if you don't believe it, look
- 1:09Speaker 3: at the price of gold almost four thousand dollars a
- 1:12Speaker 3: hair's breath away and silver a mini raid. It's down
- 1:17Speaker 3: to forty eight dollars, but it's going to blow pass
- 1:20Speaker 3: fifty dollars. Martin Armstrong says seventy five. Eric Sprott says
- 1:25Speaker 3: three hundred. I'm of the opinion somewhere between seventy five
- 1:30Speaker 3: and three hundred is where it's going to be. Assuming
- 1:32Speaker 3: there is a dollar left, there will be a dollar.
- 1:35Speaker 3: But again we're talking reset here, right right, right, one
- 1:39Speaker 3: hundred percent. Okay, thank you for having me on the show.
- 1:41Speaker 1: And as I mentioned before, we win live mat just
- 1:43Speaker 1: so many stuff happening, and it's very interesting times. And
- 1:46Speaker 1: so in reference to the spot price that you just mentioned,
- 1:49Speaker 1: especially with silver, the people's money, you know, it's been
- 1:52Speaker 1: suppressed for so long, people don't even really consider it
- 1:55Speaker 1: to be money anymore. But then again, for those who
- 1:57Speaker 1: are awake and aware and know and understand important of possession,
- 2:00Speaker 1: you possession beats priced any day. And outside of the
- 2:03Speaker 1: spot price, we're seeing at forty eight dollars or so,
- 2:06Speaker 1: to actually get possession in your hand today, it's well
- 2:08Speaker 1: above fifty because you have the premium. And then also
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm noticing a difference or a decoupling of the Western
- 2:16Speaker 1: and Eastern hemisphere actual physical possession price. And so here
- 2:20Speaker 1: in the US we can get possession of silver just
- 2:22Speaker 1: by going online and grabbing it, because this appears to
- 2:25Speaker 1: be a nice supply. But what I'm seeing in Europe,
- 2:28Speaker 1: from what I've witnessed, a lot of people post screenshots
- 2:31Speaker 1: of either limited supply or restrictions on how much you
- 2:34Speaker 1: can buy because of the unavailability of silver rounds especially
- 2:39Speaker 1: and even bars in a lot of European countries. So
- 2:41Speaker 1: the price for Spot physical in your hand out in
- 2:45Speaker 1: Europe is close to the fifties five, fifty six, efty
- 2:47Speaker 1: seven and so literally that to me is more of
- 2:49Speaker 1: what the real price is. So we've already surpassed fifty
- 2:52Speaker 1: in my opinion, but it just hasn't been reflected in
- 2:54Speaker 1: the total number of federal reserve units that I believe.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Will one day.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I have to be accounted for in the real price,
- 3:02Speaker 1: you know, Spot price wise. So yeah, but yeah, it's
- 3:04Speaker 1: interesting times.
- 3:05Speaker 3: I just got to tell you a funny, funny story.
- 3:09Speaker 3: You know. I was at the SPOT conference in Florida,
- 3:14Speaker 3: and I was talking to somebody who's an expert in
- 3:18Speaker 3: medals bullion dealer silver gold, and said, what do you
- 3:22Speaker 3: think of forty percent Kennedy half dollars? Oh? Oh, nobody
- 3:27Speaker 3: wants them. They trade below spot and they're undesirable. I said, well,
- 3:34Speaker 3: then I'm not even going to mention war Nichols. And
- 3:38Speaker 3: you know, I'm just laughing because the last time when
- 3:41Speaker 3: silver got down to eight to ten dollars an ounce,
- 3:45Speaker 3: right after the crash, I picked up a bag of
- 3:48Speaker 3: forty percent Kennedy's one thousand dollars face value. I think
- 3:53Speaker 3: I picked it up below spot at the time for
- 3:56Speaker 3: around two thousand and now that thing is worth I
- 3:59Speaker 3: think around six thousand without and it might be a
- 4:05Speaker 3: little bit under melt value now. I use spot and
- 4:08Speaker 3: melt interchangeably, so if I confuse you out there, I'm sorry,
- 4:13Speaker 3: but it's probably right at melt value now and I
- 4:18Speaker 3: bought it. I think around ten percent below milt when
- 4:22Speaker 3: I bought it. And so the point is when there
- 4:27Speaker 3: is a silver shortage, when the supply is tightening, people
- 4:31Speaker 3: just want the metal, and you know, they're not worrying
- 4:35Speaker 3: about how much a smelter is going to change to
- 4:40Speaker 3: charge to melt the thing down. And that's a change
- 4:44Speaker 3: in perspective. One thing you said, I want to make
- 4:46Speaker 3: clear about most people not remembering when silver was money.
- 4:50Speaker 3: I was eight years old or seven years old, and
- 4:54Speaker 3: I think probably eight years old when they took silver
- 4:57Speaker 3: out of coinage in the United State. That means that
- 5:01Speaker 3: most of the people alive today don't remember when silver
- 5:07Speaker 3: when you actually drop the coin and you got that
- 5:11Speaker 3: chime because it's got silver in it, they don't know.
- 5:14Speaker 3: So there's a relearning process taking place here, Mike that
- 5:17Speaker 3: I think you and I and many of our colleagues
- 5:21Speaker 3: out there are assisting with. And for ten twelve years,
- 5:26Speaker 3: they just kind of laughed at us because everything seemed
- 5:29Speaker 3: to be under control. Silver was, you know, at twenty
- 5:34Speaker 3: bucks and most of the What they didn't realize is
- 5:37Speaker 3: that most of the deposits around the world were uneconomical
- 5:41Speaker 3: from a pure silver perspective. I mean, there's a company
- 5:46Speaker 3: I saw their mine out in Nevada. They were sitting
- 5:51Speaker 3: on like fifty million ounces that was almost exposed in
- 5:55Speaker 3: leech pads, and there was like they couldn't they couldn't
- 6:00Speaker 3: make a go of it. It wasn't economically feasible, even
- 6:03Speaker 3: with the government paying the money to get rid of
- 6:06Speaker 3: a super fun site. So my point is a remodetization
- 6:12Speaker 3: of silver is definitely on its way, and all the
- 6:16Speaker 3: metals I mean, look what's happening with platinum. It's over
- 6:19Speaker 3: sixteen hundred dollars an ounce. For years, it's been under
- 6:22Speaker 3: a thousand, and I keep saying there's no way it
- 6:25Speaker 3: can stay there. Of course I didn't buy it. The
- 6:28Speaker 3: reason I didn't buy it really is because it's just
- 6:33Speaker 3: people don't understand it. And that means that if you
- 6:37Speaker 3: need the liquidity of it, it's going to be hard
- 6:39Speaker 3: to sell it. You're better off with silver. It appreciated
- 6:43Speaker 3: more than platinum has. But that's the story for another day.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Point is the things that were taken as valueless for
- 6:53Speaker 3: so long are now considered valuable. And that's a big deal.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Right right, you're true, And I think a lot of
- 7:00Speaker 1: that has to do with the mis education or the
- 7:02Speaker 1: misdirecting of information, and it happened to be centered around
- 7:06Speaker 1: the whole idea of financial literacy, Like financial literacy has
- 7:09Speaker 1: always been geared towards you know, whatever you earn and
- 7:11Speaker 1: then putting into the hands of somebody who can operate
- 7:13Speaker 1: on your best interests supposedly, but it's always into the
- 7:17Speaker 1: legacy trad fied markets with buying products such as indexes
- 7:21Speaker 1: or funds or whatever that might be never about the
- 7:24Speaker 1: true essence of what money was, is and will always
- 7:27Speaker 1: remain in this da nag. So financial literacy was literally
- 7:30Speaker 1: designed to distract people to where That's why this generation
- 7:33Speaker 1: they understand in the ports of metal. So you know,
- 7:35Speaker 1: that's why I kind of coined the phrase, you know,
- 7:38Speaker 1: monetary literacy. If people understood the monetary journey of what
- 7:40Speaker 1: a dollar is, you'll see how easy it is to
- 7:43Speaker 1: really appreciate the affordability of silver right now, especially a
- 7:47Speaker 1: fifty dollars. It's extremely cheap given you know where it
- 7:50Speaker 1: should go in the future. So yeah, education has been key.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Man, and that's we're really in the educational business, the
- 7:59Speaker 3: education in street. When you get down to it, we're
- 8:03Speaker 3: using monetary history to explain to people what's going on today,
- 8:08Speaker 3: why you need to prepare, because it's not just the dollar.
- 8:13Speaker 3: It's every piece of paper, digital or otherwise out there
- 8:18Speaker 3: that purports to be a store of value and a
- 8:21Speaker 3: medium of exchange. You know, the dollar is still a
- 8:24Speaker 3: medium of exchange, but its store of value is greatly diminished.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I don't think it's going away tomorrow, but the trend
- 8:34Speaker 3: is inexorable. And whether Martin Armstrong's right, and it's twenty
- 8:38Speaker 3: thirty two, whatever it might be. This way, you need
- 8:42Speaker 3: to buy this book. Here. I'll get in a little
- 8:45Speaker 3: book plug here. The world according to Martin Armstrong Conversations
- 8:49Speaker 3: with the Master Forecaster, because twenty thirty two is it right? Now?
- 8:55Speaker 3: Everything appears to be normal to the untrained eye, though, Mike,
- 8:59Speaker 3: how do you how do you explain to your your
- 9:03Speaker 3: people out there that it's not what they think it is?
- 9:07Speaker 1: Well, I would first point to just a lot of
- 9:10Speaker 1: the what appears to be distractions, Like I always looked
- 9:14Speaker 1: at look at you know, I know that a lot
- 9:16Speaker 1: of the agenda is to distract people from paying attention
- 9:19Speaker 1: to key issues. And so they're they meaning whoever's you know,
- 9:23Speaker 1: they're they're they're ready to navigating, you know, these times
- 9:25Speaker 1: we're in, they're throwing distractions of all kinds. And so
- 9:28Speaker 1: you have the technological a distraction. So we got the
- 9:31Speaker 1: AI situation with Sora and deep fakes and all those
- 9:34Speaker 1: things on one side. Then you have the whole military
- 9:36Speaker 1: conflicts and geopolitical events, so that's another issue. Then you
- 9:39Speaker 1: have the political rifferent rap between the left and right paradigm.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And so now we got a government shut down and
- 9:44Speaker 1: then you have you know all, you know, just the
- 9:47Speaker 1: the financial issues that our government has with you know,
- 9:50Speaker 1: the deficits and the dad and so it's more so
- 9:53Speaker 1: pick whatever you know resonates most with you. Where do
- 9:56Speaker 1: you personally feel that you're being shafted or being lied to?
- 10:00Speaker 1: And just start with that. And so everybody might be different.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Everybody's sitting in a different position these days, experiencing a
- 10:06Speaker 1: different level of irritation and frustration. And so once you
- 10:09Speaker 1: can pinpoint that, now dive deeper. And then that's where
- 10:12Speaker 1: you get to the education side. Because once you dive deep,
- 10:15Speaker 1: you got two choices. You can stay and attach to
- 10:17Speaker 1: the mainstream narrative or you can then go to the
- 10:20Speaker 1: alternative contrarian point of view, where you'll be more than
- 10:23Speaker 1: likely to get some counter narratives to the lives that
- 10:25Speaker 1: we're being told from the mainstream media. And then from
- 10:28Speaker 1: there it's like, okay, then what do you do with
- 10:30Speaker 1: that information? Because it's definitely going to disrupt your conventional
- 10:34Speaker 1: way of thinking. And now with that extra information you have,
- 10:37Speaker 1: what are you going to do with it? Are you
- 10:38Speaker 1: going to put it to action? And it alstomately leads
- 10:41Speaker 1: you to realize that you're responsible for yourself. No one
- 10:44Speaker 1: in a suit and a tied the podium can make
- 10:46Speaker 1: the change that you know we need as a people
- 10:48Speaker 1: and spell especially individually.
- 10:50Speaker 4: So it all boils down to education once again.
- 10:54Speaker 1: So once once I lay all that out, then at
- 10:56Speaker 1: that point the next response is okay, so what do
- 10:59Speaker 1: you do what pains you most?
- 11:01Speaker 4: And then that's when I go back to rethinking the dollar.
- 11:04Speaker 1: The whole idea of just starting my channel was the
- 11:07Speaker 1: narrative of b dollarization, like witnessing the removal of the
- 11:12Speaker 1: dollar out of the world system bit by bit, and
- 11:15Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the dollar's not going to where of course,
- 11:18Speaker 1: but every fiat currency is literally being rebranded right now,
- 11:21Speaker 1: and so de dollarization has been my primary focus. But
- 11:25Speaker 1: what we're witnessing now, I believe with the response of
- 11:27Speaker 1: gold and silver, you know, probably getting more attention that
- 11:31Speaker 1: you know, the people in power would like for it
- 11:33Speaker 1: to be. I think it's more so to do with
- 11:36Speaker 1: what I call the defiatization, where every government's in the
- 11:40Speaker 1: same boat looking for similar solutions. And that's why I
- 11:43Speaker 1: believe a lot of this is coordinated efforts by governments
- 11:47Speaker 1: in a unified sense to try to create disruptions, distractions
- 11:51Speaker 1: because ultimately debasement is all that can take place, and
- 11:55Speaker 1: that's where we get into the digital slide of thing.
- 11:57Speaker 1: So you know, everything is interconnected. But you know, gold
- 12:00Speaker 1: and silver is revealing truth because they are monetary constants
- 12:03Speaker 1: and they're not going nowhar but the price that we
- 12:06Speaker 1: perceive them as is based upon the destruction of the
- 12:09Speaker 1: fie currency. So yeah, and that's why that's what excites me, man,
- 12:14Speaker 1: just realizing that we're literally in the midst of a reset,
- 12:18Speaker 1: but not the way.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Most people might typically think of it to be so exactly.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Could not agree with you more. I mean, there's so
- 12:25Speaker 3: many things happening, and like you say, a lot of
- 12:29Speaker 3: noise out there, but the reality is that something big
- 12:34Speaker 3: is happening here, and you know you need to be
- 12:38Speaker 3: aware of it because the who the heck knows what's
- 12:42Speaker 3: going to happen here right.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Right, right right.
- 12:45Speaker 1: And so the good thing is and I'm sure you
- 12:47Speaker 1: know with Martin Armstrong and his forecast, you know it's
- 12:51Speaker 1: it's it's possible to get an idea based upon trends,
- 12:55Speaker 1: based upon the continuous reactions of those that are in
- 12:59Speaker 1: positions of power and this where I go back to
- 13:02Speaker 1: the dollar concept, realizing the journey of what we call
- 13:05Speaker 1: a dollar. We've witnessed the debasement as well as the
- 13:10Speaker 1: degrading of our financial structure for decades now, so that
- 13:15Speaker 1: it doesn't take a PhD to realize that there's only
- 13:18Speaker 1: so much readily available purchasing power left and what we
- 13:22Speaker 1: call a dollar. And that's why I also continue to
- 13:26Speaker 1: remind people that not all dollars are created equal. And
- 13:30Speaker 1: so what I'm holding my hand is a Federal Reserve note,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and so if you look at it from a technical standpoint,
- 13:35Speaker 1: it's a debt instrument, and all debts must come do
- 13:38Speaker 1: and so if you look at it from that standpoint,
- 13:40Speaker 1: then obviously there's a day of reckoning coming for that
- 13:43Speaker 1: unit there. But then also there's the American silver Eagle
- 13:48Speaker 1: version of a dollar, and on the back of it
- 13:50Speaker 1: it says a dollar as well. Now that has been
- 13:52Speaker 1: the recipient of the debasement of this note here, And
- 13:56Speaker 1: so just from that technical standpoint there you can see
- 13:59Speaker 1: what one you might want to hold onto a little
- 14:01Speaker 1: bit longer. But you know, narratives make a world of
- 14:05Speaker 1: difference as well as terminology at this point because every
- 14:07Speaker 1: little detail matters, I believe.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Oh yes, that's for sure, and you know, they tell
- 14:14Speaker 3: us everything's fine. And that's that's why I got into this,
- 14:17Speaker 3: because the disinformation after the financial collapse, you know, eight nine,
- 14:23Speaker 3: was like staggering, and many of you out there didn't
- 14:28Speaker 3: understand what was taking place. So I felt like, that's
- 14:32Speaker 3: why I got into this. And now it's kind of inescapable,
- 14:38Speaker 3: isn't it. Right?
- 14:39Speaker 1: Right, we were beyond any point of return, and a
- 14:42Speaker 1: lot of it has to do with you know, the narrative,
- 14:44Speaker 1: of course, and propaganda. Propaganda will pick up intensively in
- 14:49Speaker 1: the next couple of years because the goal is to
- 14:51Speaker 1: distract the masses from truth while keeping them hopeful of
- 14:57Speaker 1: some type of positive outcome. And so one again, I
- 15:00Speaker 1: don't necessarily mean to be critical of any individual person, candidate,
- 15:04Speaker 1: political party, but you have to realize that we didn't
- 15:07Speaker 1: get to this problem that to this point in history
- 15:10Speaker 1: without there being a lot of problems compounded upon each
- 15:13Speaker 1: other throughout the last decades. And it's been a left
- 15:16Speaker 1: and right paradigm issue. And so whether you left wing,
- 15:19Speaker 1: right wing, it's all a wing on the same bird
- 15:22Speaker 1: heading in the same direction. And so the question is like,
- 15:26Speaker 1: what are some key indicators that really really pay attention
- 15:29Speaker 1: to to witness this change as it unfolds. And I
- 15:32Speaker 1: believe it has everything to do with this current administration,
- 15:35Speaker 1: the team of advisors around him, the ongoing encroachment of
- 15:41Speaker 1: the government and.
- 15:42Speaker 4: To our lives.
- 15:43Speaker 1: We're hearing narratives about digital ID, We're hearing the investment
- 15:47Speaker 1: of our government buying actual publicly traded companies for the
- 15:50Speaker 1: sake of making our country data great again. But they're
- 15:54Speaker 1: not telling you the ultimate agenda, which I can go
- 15:57Speaker 1: down that rabbit hole, but I want to be too
- 16:00Speaker 1: doing gloom. But you see all these narratives for me
- 16:04Speaker 1: and with special tariffs, tariffs have been very hard on
- 16:08Speaker 1: the average John Jaye, because someone's gonna eat those costs,
- 16:11Speaker 1: and I doubt it's the people who are in business
- 16:13Speaker 1: to make a profit at the end of the day,
- 16:15Speaker 1: so they're just going to pass those costs on to
- 16:17Speaker 1: other people, i e. The consumers. And then you have
- 16:19Speaker 1: the government fiasco to shut down. So all these things
- 16:22Speaker 1: here point to a day of collision where we're going
- 16:26Speaker 1: to either have a public that gets tired of being
- 16:29Speaker 1: lied to as they find out truth and they're going
- 16:31Speaker 1: to push back or you're going to have a government
- 16:35Speaker 1: that loses the ability to control and deceive the masses
- 16:38Speaker 1: to where they now have to up the anti And unfortunately,
- 16:41Speaker 1: whatever you up to, Annie, it's usually to keep people
- 16:45Speaker 1: within the as the quote unquote sheepspan of control with
- 16:49Speaker 1: a much bigger distraction, similar to the health event we
- 16:52Speaker 1: had a couple of years ago which got everybody to
- 16:54Speaker 1: obey and comply and stay within the lines, and every
- 16:57Speaker 1: other event we've had, so there's always some type of
- 16:59Speaker 1: com that brings things back front center for the powers
- 17:03Speaker 1: that be I aka the government's and you know, the
- 17:05Speaker 1: special interest group. So I foresee an event coming because
- 17:10Speaker 1: you can't continue this current pathway without there being a
- 17:12Speaker 1: bubble bursting of some kind, and then that'll be an
- 17:15Speaker 1: excused for the next round of you know, plans and
- 17:19Speaker 1: operations for this reset that we're experienced.
- 17:21Speaker 3: I believe it is so correct, and you know it's uh,
- 17:26Speaker 3: it's it's always sleight of hand. You see this hand,
- 17:28Speaker 3: watch out for that one, and that that's kind of
- 17:31Speaker 3: where we're at here. So best way is to prepare
- 17:34Speaker 3: for this. And by the way, uh, bitcoin, as I
- 17:38Speaker 3: knew was going to happen. I wrote articles about it.
- 17:40Speaker 3: It's in the midst of a short squeeze. And whether
- 17:45Speaker 3: it's an illusion and it's going to collapse and only
- 17:48Speaker 3: gold and silver will prevail, or whether it is the
- 17:52Speaker 3: digital gold of the future. That's for you to decide.
- 17:56Speaker 3: But certainly having a small exposure to it not one
- 18:00Speaker 3: that if it goes to nothing is going to break you.
- 18:04Speaker 3: It's in't such a bad idea, is correct? I agree?
- 18:07Speaker 1: And so another little phrase I coined prior to this
- 18:11Speaker 1: administration is to be on the lookout for what I
- 18:13Speaker 1: consider to be the Maga wealth effect. And so, knowing
- 18:17Speaker 1: Donald Trump non highly operates, you know, he wants to
- 18:20Speaker 1: literally leave a lasting impression, and he loves to boast
- 18:23Speaker 1: when things go well, and then he loves to blame
- 18:26Speaker 1: when things go wrong. And I believe he wants to
- 18:28Speaker 1: own what he would consider the biggest boom in American history.
- 18:33Speaker 1: And I think crypto is a part of that bold
- 18:35Speaker 1: And so right now we're witnessing rents of all time
- 18:38Speaker 1: highs and everything priced in USD terms, and so you
- 18:41Speaker 1: have to look at it from the standpoint of are
- 18:44Speaker 1: they really appreciating and value that much from a utility standpoint,
- 18:48Speaker 1: from a you know, a benefit to mankind standpoint, or
- 18:52Speaker 1: is it our currency literally is being deflated away that
- 18:55Speaker 1: much faster from on a global scale to where you
- 18:58Speaker 1: have nations that are sitting on stockpiles of our AKA
- 19:02Speaker 1: reserves deciding to dispense some of those things for their
- 19:05Speaker 1: benefit and protection as well. So crypto is gonna go up,
- 19:08Speaker 1: Goals gonna go up, mine is gonna go up, Stock's
- 19:10Speaker 1: gonna go housing might go up, and so like that
- 19:12Speaker 1: to me is the truest sign of distortion awhere. Because
- 19:15Speaker 1: of this monetary reabity we in, we can't really decipher what.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Will stick and what will not.
- 19:20Speaker 1: That's why having some skin in the game, you know,
- 19:23Speaker 1: especially at a proportion that you will be willing to
- 19:25Speaker 1: lose if it was to be Yeah, I exposed as
- 19:28Speaker 1: a fraud or phony, you know, won't really hurt you,
- 19:30Speaker 1: hopefully as long as you got gold and silver as anchor.
- 19:33Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah, this is it, man exactly, and you
- 19:38Speaker 3: need to you need to be aware of this stuff
- 19:41Speaker 3: because it's real. This is not your imagination or my
- 19:46Speaker 3: imagination or delusions. I mean. The fact is the dollar's
- 19:50Speaker 3: value since the Federal Reserve. It's virtually been completely debased.
- 19:56Speaker 3: The only thing that saved it and kept it where
- 20:00Speaker 3: it is obviously the military, but also technology, and maybe
- 20:05Speaker 3: AI is going to be the next step. Look, I
- 20:08Speaker 3: thought we were head for collapse at the beginning of
- 20:11Speaker 3: the two thousands, but then we got this thing called
- 20:14Speaker 3: the internet, right, and the Internet dramatically boosted productivity in
- 20:20Speaker 3: ways that the bean counters at all the various departments
- 20:25Speaker 3: in the government are unable to calculate. You know, when
- 20:29Speaker 3: I'm sitting here and when I had my IBM original,
- 20:33Speaker 3: IBM PC or clone, and I waited for it to
- 20:38Speaker 3: do something, it took like a minute to do it.
- 20:41Speaker 3: Now it's instantaneous. So my productivity has gone up. And
- 20:45Speaker 3: now with AI, my productivity has gone up one hundredfold.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Like literally, I've written six, actually nine books in the
- 20:55Speaker 3: past six or eight months. Not have the AI writing
- 21:00Speaker 3: them for me because that doesn't work because it has
- 21:03Speaker 3: hallucinations and stuff. But the ability to write my material,
- 21:07Speaker 3: dictate it and then have it put it into a
- 21:10Speaker 3: first draft where I can really get to work on
- 21:13Speaker 3: it and clean it up. And you know, that's how
- 21:16Speaker 3: I partly wrote the world. According to Martin Armstrong. I
- 21:20Speaker 3: took all my interviews, I transcribed them through an app.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Then I took the AI and cleaned up, got rid
- 21:29Speaker 3: of the o's and o's, and edited the pertinent parts
- 21:33Speaker 3: of the conversations. Then I wrote summaries and takeaways all that,
- 21:41Speaker 3: and then I had to clean it up. And then
- 21:43Speaker 3: I had a human editor go through all of it
- 21:45Speaker 3: and fix all the stuff it couldn't do and that
- 21:47Speaker 3: I missed because I'm better writer than I am editor.
- 21:50Speaker 3: But I would say, man, I would urge anyone in
- 21:54Speaker 3: this business write a book because it will have untold
- 21:58Speaker 3: advantages that you will know ever ever anticipate. So like
- 22:04Speaker 3: three predictions for the coming let's say year for twenty
- 22:09Speaker 3: twenty six, what you see happening?
- 22:12Speaker 4: Okay, man, Okay, that's a good one.
- 22:15Speaker 1: So finished off this year, I see, of course, golden
- 22:17Speaker 1: silver touching all the time highs that we you know,
- 22:19Speaker 1: wouldn't have foresaw happening this fast.
- 22:22Speaker 4: So that's one.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I want to get price predictions just because you know,
- 22:25Speaker 1: I could be proven work. But everything will continue to
- 22:28Speaker 1: go up. As I mentioned before, I think Trump's legacy
- 22:30Speaker 1: is at stake here, so he's going to do whatever
- 22:31Speaker 1: he can to make sure the things continue to trend out.
- 22:34Speaker 4: So from a financial standpoint, you know, if you got
- 22:36Speaker 4: skin in the game, you should be good.
- 22:38Speaker 1: One of the issues with that is also realizing that
- 22:40Speaker 1: it can't last whatever, So how do you either get in,
- 22:42Speaker 1: get out x or whatever.
- 22:43Speaker 4: That that's gonna be a strategy in of itself. Okay,
- 22:45Speaker 4: second thing I would.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Like to put out there is a probability of a
- 22:50Speaker 1: military conflict, some type of event as a distraction away
- 22:53Speaker 1: from the market activity if it doesn't happen to go
- 22:58Speaker 1: in a favorable way that this administs would want to go.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I believe that there's always the threat of some type
- 23:02Speaker 1: of conflict that could be an instantaneous boost for the
- 23:05Speaker 1: markets because our government then.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Has to borrow and create and we're off the races again.
- 23:10Speaker 1: And then next I would imagine I'm keeping an eye
- 23:13Speaker 1: on this, you know, Middle Eastern conflict. I think that's
- 23:16Speaker 1: going to be a real determined as to how the
- 23:20Speaker 1: rest of the world responds in reference to whether it
- 23:23Speaker 1: be military, financial, whatever, because you know that you know,
- 23:26Speaker 1: issue between Gaza and Palasinian and the Israelis, that's really
- 23:31Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Also, from a spiritual
- 23:32Speaker 1: standpoint as well. So those are three areas that I
- 23:35Speaker 1: think will be hot topics from here on out. And
- 23:37Speaker 1: the outcome could be favorable for those that are aware
- 23:40Speaker 1: ahead of time, but you know, uneventful unfortunate for those
- 23:44Speaker 1: that catch it on too as late. So yeah, educate yourself,
- 23:47Speaker 1: take action today people. Time is taking all right, man.
- 23:50Speaker 3: I love it. And I think Armstrong says, look out
- 23:56Speaker 3: for Ukraine, whether it'll still exist because the Russians will
- 24:00Speaker 3: not accept the defeat there because that will be the
- 24:04Speaker 3: collapse and the splitting up of the Russian continent subcontinent.
- 24:09Speaker 3: They won't accept it. They're not going to allow it.
- 24:12Speaker 3: And that's something that you absolutely have to be aware of.
- 24:18Speaker 3: And I would say that bitcoin. I think bitcoin is
- 24:23Speaker 3: part of the plot to reset the dollar, and that's
- 24:28Speaker 3: why you had these stable coins and that's why you've
- 24:30Speaker 3: had all this acceptance. I was at the Bitcoin conference
- 24:34Speaker 3: Mike in Las Vegas, Bitcoin twenty twenty five and Trace Mayor,
- 24:40Speaker 3: one of the original Bitcoin whales. If I had only
- 24:42Speaker 3: listened to him, I would own my own island now.
- 24:46Speaker 3: He said that over half the contributions coming to the
- 24:51Speaker 3: Republican Party are from crypto interests. All right, and that
- 24:57Speaker 3: is a switch because those are younger people. Alignment of
- 25:01Speaker 3: the parties is totally changed. Not that I care about
- 25:03Speaker 3: the parties that much, but my point is that I
- 25:07Speaker 3: think they're going to inflate bitcoin to fifty million dollars
- 25:11Speaker 3: a coin and then use it to pay off They'll
- 25:14Speaker 3: issue a stable coin because the US government sitting on
- 25:18Speaker 3: a huge hoard of bitcoin. We don't even know how much.
- 25:21Speaker 3: We are totally clueless about it. It's hundreds of thousands
- 25:24Speaker 3: of coins. But if you would put a dollar into
- 25:28Speaker 3: bitcoin in twenty ten, it'd be worth one point two
- 25:33Speaker 3: five million dollars now. So for them to make that
- 25:36Speaker 3: thing go up another twenty or thirty times, isn't that hard?
- 25:41Speaker 3: Maybe fifty times. You do that, then you issue a
- 25:46Speaker 3: stable coin backed by bitcoin, you pay off all that debt,
- 25:50Speaker 3: and you reset social Security the leftovers, and the problem solved.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Whether the rest of the world goes along with it
- 25:59Speaker 3: or not is another issue, but that's what I'm predicting.
- 26:03Speaker 3: In any event, just tell us where we find you,
- 26:05Speaker 3: your website, your social media, all that good stuff, good stuff,
- 26:09Speaker 3: good stuff, good Carrie.

- 26:12Speaker 1: just type in the search engine and it'll take you
- 26:14Speaker 1: to YouTube to rumble and then read thinking a dollar
- 26:16Speaker 1: on all the socials is where you can find me.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And I try to do any news updates, interviews, you know,
- 26:22Speaker 1: you name it. Any way I can to get information
- 26:24Speaker 1: is not common knowledge into the hands of the people
- 26:26Speaker 1: so that they can have a choice as to what
- 26:28Speaker 1: type of information they want to receive. So readthink a dollar,

- 26:46Speaker 1: There's more people waking up, and it's a clear indication
- 26:49Speaker 1: by go to silver activity right now. You know when
- 26:51Speaker 1: people want family and friends wain contacting me in a
- 26:53Speaker 1: minute on this subject matter reaches out. Yeah, they were
- 26:56Speaker 1: listening back in the day.
- 26:57Speaker 3: And the sad thing is that the power that be
- 27:01Speaker 3: have have really suppressed our message, done everything in their
- 27:06Speaker 3: power to stop us, and yet the message still has
- 27:10Speaker 3: gotten out. We've still managed to get this thing done.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Here Man that's pretty I'm pretty proud of it because
- 27:18Speaker 3: you and I both know the suppression is real. Uh,
- 27:22Speaker 3: you know, certain big tech platforms still suppressing us after
- 27:28Speaker 3: all these years, man, and uh somehow we've managed to
- 27:34Speaker 3: to still actually get it done mat So that's off
- 27:38Speaker 3: to you. Appreciate you coming on. If you've got a
