Americans Are About to Lose Everything—And They Don’t Even Know It · Man in America Podcast

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Man in America, a voice of reason in a world gone mad. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. One of the themes to this show, Man in America, and it's not just this show, it's really how I live my life, is I'm trying to uncover and expose the hidden hands that are controlling and manipulating our society. While I was born into what I thought was a free world with freedom of choice and, you know, everything is there for the taking. You said to look for it and search for it.
• 0:44
  I soon discovered as I got older that we live in a world that is carefully constructed around us. You could call it a prison. Some refer to the Earth as a prison planet. And that's really what I've come to in a lot of my own research is that, yes, there are hidden hands controlling almost everything around us. We're surrounded by lies and deception and buried history.
• 1:08
  And, also, we're we've been fed false stories of who we are as people, you know, the history of mankind. There's so much more beyond that. But part of my own journey is trying to uncover what are these mechanisms used to control us. What are the psychological things? What are the tools that they've been used to enslave mankind, and how can we undo those tools?
• 1:31
  How can we get back to a place where we have true freedom? And so I've focused a lot on topics like the medical industrial complex, the military industrial complex, the propaganda industrial complex, the big tech, and a lot of these tools that have been used to enslave us. But I think that one of the greatest tools ever used to enslave mankind has been money. And this is goes back to the, you know, the dawn of time. Right?
• 1:57
  You know, what is the one time when Christ was angry as he was flipping over the money changer tables? There's a lesson there for that, for us is why was he angry? Well, because those coins that they were using, that currency throughout the ages has been used as a weapon against us. It's been used to enslave us. And that's why I cover economics a lot on this show.
• 2:19
  It's not because I like economics. It was probably the one that my least favorite interests growing up. But when I've understood and read things like, you know, Creature from Jekyll Island and understand the concepts behind this, I think it's really important that we understand the role of economics in our own slave system and how to get out of that. But what you also see is patterns, and this is another thing that I am very interested in. I'd rather talk about the fourth turning than talk about the latest news today.
• 2:49
  Because if you look at patterns, you can see that there's nothing new under the sun. You can see that a lot of the mechanisms that are surrounding us and the mechanisms used to control the population or to collapse a country or whatever it is, that these are the same playbooks that they've used before. And if you look for the patterns, if you look for the steps of the playbook, you can see what's coming. And when I look at what's happening right now with the economy here in The United States, and this is what we're getting into today because we just had the, you know, the Federal Reserve meeting with Powell, which I'll actually dig into a little bit. The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates for the first time in 2025, took it down 25 basis point basis points.
• 3:29
  Here you go, Epoch Times reported, The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time this year following its two day policy meeting that concluded on September 17. The members of the Federal Open Market Committee voted to reduce the benchmark federal funds rate by 25 basis points, setting the new target range at 4% to 4.25%. Okay. So it says the federal funds rate is the central benchmark that influences borrowing costs across The US economy, affecting everything from business loans to household mortgages, which we're gonna talk about today. So what I wanna show you today is just a bunch of charts and research, a lot of other people's, you know, brilliant research that I'm writing on the back of, that's painting a picture of what I think is the great reset in the financial terms.
• 4:18
  And this is something that affects all of us because a record high number of families have their assets sitting in the stock market. I'll show you the charts for that. But if you look at the patterns, you look at the charts, it paints a very scary picture. And I know it's been over quoted so many times that the Claus Schwab, You'll own nothing and be happy. But if you look at what I'm gonna show you today, I'd say that what I'm seeing is the recipe to make it so that we own nothing.
• 4:48
  Right? That's it. And this, again, you know, back to you know, I've done an interview with David Jensen recently, which I'll have him on again, I think, sometime this week, hopefully. And we talked about this is what they do. They take us, the people.
• 5:00
  They they they convince us to put all of our assets into these fake things, currencies, stocks, etcetera. They inflate those assets. We think we're getting richer and richer and richer, then they collapse those assets, and they come in with the real money and buy everything up for pennies on the dollar. Look what happened in 2008. Look at how many homes were bought up by the big banks.
• 5:18
  Right? It wasn't some random thing. It was a playbook they're following. And so today, I'm gonna do my best just to walk you through the indicators. I see that playbook is being absolutely used right now, and that there are some frightening indicators for what's coming next.
• 5:31
  So I'm gonna dig into that. I wanna first so obviously, you know, they lowered the, you know, they lowered the, the rates to, by 25 basis points. I want to first take a look at the overall state of where we're at in America, because we're being told, even from, you know, the current administration that, hey, the economy is doing great. We're we're better than ever. But that's not the reality that a lot of the data shows.
• 5:54
  Okay? So here is a post from, Andrew Lokanoth. Sorry, Andrew, if I mispronounce your name. It says, This is the definition of broken. The US housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history.
• 6:08
  Gen Z and millennials are delaying traditional milestones like This is insane. So, here you have This is The U. S. Home price, history from '19 sorry, 1890 to 2025. You can see that's not a good thing when you see at the top of that chart there where it's turning red, the 2025 bubble.
• 6:32
  Right? And this is the case. I have a lot of other data to show you here that, yes, that homes are becoming more and more unaffordable. And this is the real point though, is that Gen Z and millennials are delaying traditional milestones like marriage, homeownership, and parenthood due to high housing costs and stagnant wages. This is serious because it's not just about owning a home.
• 6:51
  A home is what is you know, for a lot of people, a home is part of raising family. It's a part of raising kids. Right? You know, I own my home. Well, I guess the bank owns my home, and I'm paying them off on a slave mortgage, unfortunately.
• 7:02
  But, you know, technically, I guess you could say I do I am a homeowner, and this is where I'm raising my children. I hope that I hold on to this home at least until I get them through until they're on to the next stage of life, you know, beyond, living under my roof. But this is absolutely, absolutely important. Let's go to the next little bit of information here. And now this is actually from, mid last year, from the Kobesse letter, but this is also important because I imagine that this data has even gone more crazy.
• 7:28
  Right? It say it's now more affordable to rent than own a home in The US. It says homeowners are now spending 35% of household income on housing costs, including mortgage, taxes, and insurance. On the other hand, renters spend 29% of their income on rent average or on rent on average, according to Zillow. So, Q1 twenty twenty four, homeowner expenses on the medium priced houses accounted for 32% of the national average wage.
• 7:53
  This is near record levels seen in the two thousand eight financial crisis. In general, it's now cheaper to rent an apartment than to own a typical home in all but one of 35 major major metros in The United States. Owning a home is a luxury. And here you can see a chart here, which I imagine that it's even gotten worse since then. So, like, what does this mean?
• 8:12
  Right? You say you'll own nothing, but you'll be happy. Well, what they've done is that they've made it so that now the average American is yeah. Well, actually, I don't know the exact stats, but it's it's cheaper to rent than own a home. But we also know that, again, since 2008 and a lot of the crony rules and new regulations are put in after that, that we've seen a massive amount of private equity and private firms coming in and buying up all these single family homes, making them more expensive, but also making it so that we can't have them, which is what we're seeing not just in the homes, we're seeing that in businesses and so many other parts of our lives that there's this massive consolidation happening, that the things that the assets that the average American, say, fifty, eighty years ago would own that became a benchmark of them saving and building up an asset.
• 8:59
  That's what it used to be, right? So, if you own a home in the 1950s, and say you bought it, you know, you pay it off, you slowly accumulate you accumulate an asset. As you're paying off your home, it becomes valuable. The price goes up, and then when you're ready to retire, you can sell that house, you can pass it on to your children. It gives you this upward mobility.
• 9:18
  It gives you a way to save. But if you're renting every month, you know, and if it's cheaper to rent, what if you rent a house for twenty years? After twenty years, you've got nothing to show for it. You have no equity in a home to show for it, which is just It's catastrophic what's happening here. But even on the rentals, you look here, it says late rental payments are skyrocketing.
• 9:41
  So, is showing the, late rent payments for since January 2021 to 2025, and you can see, again, even under the current administration, in which we were promised a golden age, it doesn't look very golden to me if you're seeing a massive spike in people that are unable to even pay their rent. So, is Again, these are indicators. These are patterns that we're seeing that something is not right with our economy. And we'll get into, you know, some of the bigger, you know, aspects of that. Here's another indicator.
• 10:13
  It says, Google searches for help with mortgage has now surpassed the peak of the two thousand and eight global financial crisis. Now, this is just one data point. You could say that Well, okay, this is showing interest over time. Okay? So it it has you know, Google has a way of of, kind of assign assigning numbers, and, you know, obviously, they have a way of calculating what is the interest over time.
• 10:36
  You can see right around the housing crisis of two thousand and eight, which is what peak was before right there, that help with mortgage was skyrocketing. Now, some people have said, Well, what if people want help with getting a new mortgage? Maybe that's so. But I think that as the as the economy starts tanking, that you're seeing more people asking, okay, how do you need help with my mortgage? Right?
• 10:57
  I I'm struggling to pay it. If you look at the same chart showing that late payments are also skyrocketing, and you look at this, this is a concerning fact that that we're at we're now past the peak in terms of how Google kind of quantifies this of people searching for help with mortgage. It's another right oh, sorry. It's another indicator. Here's another post.
• 11:19
  This is by Finance a Lot, which a great account. I I enjoy a lot of what he puts out. He says, You're right. We aren't in 2000 and It's worse. And this is also what I'm seeing, too.
• 11:28
  I'm seeing a lot of different comparisons of people saying that this what we're seeing, the data is showing that this is we're in a situation right now with the overall economy, with the markets, where it's worse than 2008, it's worse than 2000, and it's showing a lot of indicators of being similar to what happened back in the late twenties when we entered into the Great Depression. Okay. So if you look at this and again, this is just another another data point. Make what you want of it. New homes for sale in The US South Region by the thousands.
• 11:57
  So August 2006, you can see, if you follow the numbers, they oftentimes tell you this why Martin Armstrong's been so successful with his his, Socrates and his predictions predictions because because he's he's looking at the numbers and the data, and numbers aren't just numbers. They're not just arbitrary. They're patterns. They're trends. They show us things.
• 12:13
  They're cycles. And so you can see leading up to the housing collapse in 2008 that you had a a bunch of homes coming on the market. And if you then look forward to where we are right now, 2025, it's a similar trend. Not good. 2008 wiped a lot of people out in this country.
• 12:34
  So if we continue looking at the banking sector, again, more concerning information. You say, Why am I showing you this? I want you to see what's really going on. Because if you turn on CNBC, you turn on Fox News, they're gonna just kinda keep telling you, Hey, we're doing great. We're doing great.
• 12:49
  Hey, look at that Magnificent Seven. Look at Nvidia is up. Make sure you're putting your money into your four zero one ks. Make sure you're putting your money into the stock market. That's what they're doing.
• 12:58
  But the reality is, is that when those markets when the crash happens, the common people that took the advice of the Jim Cramers or their local TD advisor, their Vanguard portfolio advisor, the people that took the advice of them because they didn't know themselves, like, Oh, I'm just gonna trust the experts. Well, look what happened during COVID when we trusted the experts. But the problem is, is that now I think a lot of people say, Hey, just because you're a doctor with a clipboard and a white suit, it doesn't mean I should just absolutely trust you. You're not God. Right?
• 13:29
  I no longer just trust the science blindly, but a lot of people just still trust the financial system blindly. They just trust the banker. They trust the financial advisor. It's like, Well, do you think that if the same corrupt elite banking families and kind of the tentacles of that deep state, if they're controlling the hospital system, if they're controlling the doctors, the advisors of your health, don't you think they might also be controlling the sector that they control the most, which is the banking sector? Maybe that they're controlling and kind of feeding things to the financial advisers.
• 14:03
  The financial advisers, they're not going to you and saying, Hey, you know what, Mr. Smith? I highly recommend you put most of your money into gold and silver right now because the dollar is losing its value. And then they're not telling you that. They're saying, Well, if we move your money over here, you can make, you know, a 9% return on this stock and this, and they're just getting you they're feeding you into the system.
• 14:20
  They're feeding you into the beast system. And again, this is why I think again, why I cover money and the economy because I think that it is the ruling system. As much as you look at the big tech and military industrial complex and and the big pharma, you look at all those systems that are used as tools to control and and engineer the population, I'd say the money is the most powerful one. Right? Didn't you hear somewhere as was it?
• 14:46
  The love of money is the root of all evil. Haven't we been warned over and over again about this? So here you go. Yeah. Bet your, you know, your financial advisor is not gonna tell you about this.
• 14:56

• 16:33
  Breaking. Unrealized losses on investment securities for US banks reached 395,300,000,000.0 in Q2 twenty twenty five. This is six times higher than at the peak of the two thousand and eight financial crisis. This also marks the thirteenth consecutive quarter of losses as interest rates remained elevated. Meanwhile, the number of banks on the FDIC problem bank list reached 59 in Q2 twenty twenty five, or 1.3 of the aggregate.
• 17:00
  Unrealized losses at banks continue to pose a significant risk. If you look at this, again, since 2022 of the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, that's not a good thing, right? All those bars going down, that's not a good number. That's not really positive. As they say here, it poses a significant risk.
• 17:26
  But what's interesting, though, and I've got a really interesting video to show you, short two minute video or so, where a guy starts explaining the difference between the middle class and the upper 10%, in terms of how it drives the economy. And we'll also get into the stock market and how it relates there, too. Because this is really, really important to understand that for these elites, it's do as I say, not as I do. And you look at them, and and they're not doing what they're telling us to do. They're telling all of us to, hey, run into these places again, like, you know, the magnificent seven, and, hey, put your money here.
• 18:03
  That's not what they're doing. If you look at what they're doing, the banking families, what's happening, sovereign banks, they're pulling out of the stock markets. Right? Berkshire Hathaway, I think, has one of its largest cash positions ever. Jamie Dimon's been dumping millions and millions of dollars worth of stock, and you're seeing the same pattern over and over again.
• 18:21
  They're leaving the stock market. They are exiting the stock market. They see what's coming. They see the writing on the wall. And then you also look at a lot of sovereign banks, and again, in a lot of these family offices, they're moving their money into hard assets, whether it's land, precious metals, they're not keeping their money in the stock market.
• 18:43
  They smell something is going on. There's writing on the wall they see that they're not telling us about. Because if they tell us about it, we're all gonna panic, and that's just gonna cause everything to, you know, move so much quicker. And what happens is then it closes their window of opportunity to get out of this stuff. It's like if you know the house is gonna burn, and the house is full of, you know, 500 people, and you're in the middle of the house, if you yell, Hey, the house is gonna burn, everyone runs out at once, you may not make it.
• 19:09
  But if you quietly slip out the back door and don't tell anybody about it, you're off in the woods before the house starts burning, and you're safe. So that's exactly what they're doing. So I'll play this quick video. Also, just a quick reminder be before I forget it, I've got a Substack that I highly recommend you go check out. Right?
• 19:29
  So I cover some of the finance stuff. Most shows that I do, I actually take and also do an article that summarizes the You can watch a show on there. But I'm also now starting to publish more content and commentaries as well. Actually, let me see. Let me pull it up for you really quick.
• 19:42
  So, highly recommend I'll put the link in the, description. There we go. Let me pull up the website for you. It's just maninamerica.substack.com. So, check it out.
• 19:55
  Right? Up over here, I just published a really good, important article, I think, on the assassination. Anyway, highly recommend you check it out. Just maninamerica.substack.com. It's another way to kind of engage in the content that I'm putting out there.
• 20:09
  And a lot of the original thought, more, you know, long form written content, I'm putting out on here instead of, you know, Twitter and other places. So, gonna find things on here that you're not gonna find elsewhere. I'll make sure that the the link is in the description as well. Okay. So getting back to this this video here.
• 20:24
  Let me find this video that I was gonna play for you. Let's see here. Now wait. Where did it go? Here we go.
• 20:38
  Okay. So I'm gonna play this video for you. It's kinda funny. Says, this dude is goofy, but what are you saying is spot on? 49% of consumer spending is coming from the top 10% wealthiest households.
• 20:49
  The middle class just doesn't matter as much anymore. The wealthy are much less reliant on them, so you become expendable. So, actually, it's only minute 12. So, check this out. I'll play it for you.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Today, we got more confirmation that the only reason the economy is in good shape is because the rich are spending money. Consumers in the top 10% of income distribution accounted for 49% of all spending in the second quarter, which is the highest level with data going back to 1989. Basically, if you make less than $190 a year, you have the exact same spending with regard to inflation as you did in 2020. It's barely kept in line, whereas everybody else making 200 k and above is up there. I'd like to remind everyone that 90% of the stock market is owned by 10% of the population.
• 21:29
  So the reason the stock market is up is because the wealthy own most of the stocks. The wealthy are doing most of the spending. And in a funny way, they're generating most of the value themselves. But if any of them get skittish, then the real problems will start. Because for everybody else, we've been in a recession since 2020.
• 21:44
  For anybody not making money out the ass, it's been all about just buying what you can afford, watching necessities skyrocket in price and having no say in it. It also explains why retail spending came in higher than expected this month. It's because it's being propped up by rich people continuing to spend money on bullshit. In addition to AI CapEx powering the economy, we have this too. The moment these people feel skittish though, the stock market will come crumbling down with the rest of the data.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: There I mean, he says it pretty succinctly. Right? That when they say the economy is booming and everything, and that's what happens. You look around, it's like, I don't I don't feel like that. Like, people are struggling.
• 22:19
  If the economy is doing so well, why are, you know, rent you know, people not paying their rent skyrocketing? You know, the home no one's buying the house anymore. No one can afford to live anymore. And he actually puts it in the data shows it's because of the wealthy, because the the this is what happens, right? When there is turmoil turmoil like this, when everything gets upside down, the people it's it's the it's the upper, upper class that they they gain during that.
• 22:42
  That's the thing is that the really wealthy, they love when we're in a recession. They love when there is a crash because they they see it coming, and they're positioned to make even more money amidst the crash. That's what they're doing, but they don't want us to know that. Because they because how do they make their money is that when that crash happens, we're all stuck in it. We all lose everything we've got.
• 23:03
  We're forced to sell it for pennies on the dollar. They scoop it up. If you want a lesson in this, go watch It's a Wonderful Life. It's one of the best documentaries on how the banking system works, is that the bank systems collapse, people lose, you know, they lose confidence in it, their money gets taken away, they lose everything, and the rich guy comes in and buys up the town. It's a pretty good doc I'd call it a documentary on the financial system.
• 23:26
  But continuing though, okay, this is what's also crazy. Is, you know, I told you it's like, Oh, yeah, your your Vanguard advisors are saying, Hey, put more money in the stocks. Put more money in the stocks. Well, look at this. This is wild.
• 23:39
  So it says US household allocation to stocks hit a record 45% in q two two thousand twenty five. This share has skyrocketed over the last three years. By comparison, allocation was at 38% at the 2,000 bubble peak. Americans have never held more equities relative to their financial assets. So what this is showing is that household assets, now 45% of household assets are being poured into the stock market.
• 24:10
  This is insane. And to me, this is exactly what we're highlighting here, is that they know what's coming, and they're convincing all everybody, hey, get on top get in the stock market. Get in the stock market because they know that when it crashes, those four those people that have 45% allocation in the in the equities, that's a massive loss. Massive loss. You look at the .com bubble, it was at 38%.
• 24:37
  So this is also another frightening chart that goes into the overall pattern that we're at, like, nearly half. Right? That The US the average US household allocation into equities is nearly half of of the assets, which is frightening. It's frightening to me. It's like, okay, it's one thing.
• 24:55
  Look, say you own some, you know, some mining stocks or some junior mining stocks or something like that. Okay, yeah. To me, it's like that's that's worth kinda taking a little bit of a risk on. There's opportunity there. But this is we're not talking about this.
• 25:06
  This is something where people are just putting their money in their four zero one ks and their IRA, and they're just moving it in the stock market. Wow. Look how much Nvidia's up. Look how much Nvidia's up. It is so scary to me, all the indicators that show how weak this market is.
• 25:23
  How weak it is. But continuing, and this right here. This right here. If there's one chart that you screenshot from this video, it's this chart chart right here. It says, So what this chart represents here is it is a combination, value, basically the total valuation of the stock market compared to the GDP.
• 25:58
  So the ratio, it says the trailing P and E, forward P and E, cap, PBPS, blah, blah, etcetera, combined to the GDP, showing the value of the stock market relative to the GDP. And this is something, again, this shows you where the problem is, because what happens when the, you know, again, 45% of the equities are just dumped of the average household, you know, almost nearly half of households are have their equity or there's the majority of their equity into the stock market. This is what happens. Look how overvalued the market is. But here's the key though, it doesn't if you take a snapshot, and if I said, you know right now that, you know, that there's it's a one to one match that the the amount of money in the stock market is equivalent to the GDP, you might say, okay.
• 26:47
  Well, that's that's interesting. Right? Yeah. Stocks are doing great. But here's the key, though.
• 26:53
  The key is that, well, let's look back in history and what happens whenever we reach that same ratio. And here you go. Look at this chart. This is this is a cycles chart. This is showing you patterns.
• 27:08
  So here we are right now, as of August 25. There we were in 1999, just before a massive crash. There you were in 1965, just before a massive crash. And there we were in 1929, right before a catastrophic crash. Again, if there's one thing you screenshot in this video, pay attention to this.
• 27:33
  Because if you look at this, if you look at this chart and you can see how this plays out and you still think, You know what? I'm just gonna trust my Vanguard advisor. He says, Don't worry about it. It's the same thing as the doctor saying, Here, take this medicine. Don't worry about the side effects.
• 27:50
  Don't worry what you saw on the internet, this conspiracy theorist. You're gonna be fine. It's safe and effective. It's no different. It's them lying to us, convincing us to put trust in their institutions when these institutions have one fundamental goal, to make us poor and sick and dead and make the elites wealthy and powerful our absence.
• 28:15
  So if you look at this, this is not a good thing. Not to mention continuing, the US dollar has now lost 10% of its value this year. Right here, this right here is the dollar index. Since the beginning of the year, on the bottom, if you can see it, January to September, it's lost 10% of its value. 10%.
• 28:38
  It's like if you had a $100 in your bank account, it's now $90,000 in terms of its purchasing power. Because the dollar has he says, meanwhile, the dollar has also lost 50% of its value versus gold in the past three years, and the purchasing power of the dollar since 1950. 1950 was $1 for $1. '75 was 55¢. 2000, it was 14¢.
• 29:00
  2025, it's 0.07¢. And again, this is the overall, this is the other big lie they're using to steal our wealth from us is by purposefully inflating the dollar, devaluing the dollar through inflation. They keep print they keep printing. They keep printing. They keep printing.
• 29:19
  What happens to and what happens to a commodity? Let's just say that oil is at a $100 a a barrel, and all of a sudden, you discover a, you know, 10,000,000,000 barrel deposit in Alaska, and now there's twice the amount of oil on Earth. Is oil still a $100 a barrel? No. It should be $50 a barrel.
• 29:37
  It's supply and demand. So what happens when they keep printing the dollar? They keep printing it. This is what happens. It's also why we're seeing gold spike, because gold is the canary in the coal mine.
• 29:47
  Again, you know, check out my previous interview with David Jensen. We go over this extensively. This is why they put all the mechanisms in place to suppress the value of gold, because gold is a direct reflection of this. Everyone, you look at gold, right? So here's gold.
• 30:00
  Great. Wow, gold in one year, gold is up 44% in one year. Okay, let's see, look, what's gold up in two years. In gold in two years is up 90% in two years, right? In 2023, gold was down at $1,800 it's up 90% since then.
• 30:18
  Let's look at five years. Gold is up again, 90% in five years. Remember that's actually a lot the gold that I ended up buying was at $1,700 an ounce. It was great. At that time, was expensive because gold was like 1,700 to 2,000.
• 30:35
  It was hovering there for quite some time. But what this shows you, okay, what this shows you is that the dollar is losing its value, and that's why gold is going up. Because gold is a real asset. So it's like, you have your wealth, okay? Do you wanna store your wealth in a dollar, or do you wanna store your wealth in a piece of gold?
• 30:54
  Dollars are losing value. Gold is going up. That's just what's happening. Look at another indicator here. This is actually a great tweet from the great it's a great tweet from the great Martis who says gold.
• 31:07
  He's comparing 2008 to 2025, which I'll get into that chart, he says, Gold rises not from hype, but as a warning of an impending crisis. This is such an important sentence. If there's one takeaway, gold rises not from hype but as a warning of an impending crisis. What is this showing you? It's not from hype.
• 31:30
  It's a warning of an impending crisis. He pulls together these two charts here, showing gold price in 2025, gold price in 2008. Now, you know, if if you know how to read charts, you can see but what you can see is there's a similar pattern there. It's like, oh, it's like the same kind of rise up, and then it's gonna get, you know, kinda gets trapped. It stays stays a little bit in the same area for a little while.
• 31:53
  Then it breaks away. It goes up, then it crashes. And what we see, though, interestingly, is that it doesn't crash to zero. No. Right?
• 32:00
  So in 2008, you know, gold maybe got hit, came down, say, 20%, hit 25%, bounced around, and came back up. Came back to even higher than before. That's what happens. So I'll warn you. If if the stock market crashes and you see the price of silver and gold come down 25, 30%, do not sell.
• 32:18
  Buy. If you have the money, buy. Because it's gonna be coming straight back up. Again, I'm like, I'll give you a quick warning. You know, I'm not a financial adviser, so do your own research.
• 32:27
  This again, this is my research that I'm sharing with you. Now there's a you know, below this, someone else shared something, which I was interesting. Here you go. It says, It's the crisis of ages, a full fiat currency collapse. Gold will rise rapidly into a hyperinflationary catastrophe.
• 32:46
  This person's price targets, $5,000 an ounce by June 2026, 7,500 by February 2027, 10,000 by May 2027. And it's just gonna continue going because it's a reflection of the dollar. And this thing is, like, I've been talking about the dollar collapse for a long time, probably three or four years, maybe five almost five years now. Not in So people say, Oh, it hasn't collapsed yet. You're just you're just kind of throwing out conspiracies.
• 33:12
  You're a gold bug. Folks, the indicators are all there. It's all right in front of us. No one knows the exact timing of these things, but you can see the patterns. You can see what's happening, and this is what I fear.
• 33:26
  And now look, I'm not a person. I I'm not fearful of this, actually, because my money is not sitting in the stock market. I own a little bit of a little mining stock. Everything else, if I have extra money, it's putting in the land, food, or precious metals. So I'm not I'm not scared of these things coming because I've prepared.
• 33:42
  But if I if I was someone that was sitting with 75% of my overall wealth sitting in the stock market or in bonds or in IRA or four zero one k, I would be concerned personally. Like, I've I've told my mom. Actually, my mom, she's smart. She listened to me. I mean, her a couple years ago, I said, mom, I said, If I can give you one bit of advice, pull your money out of your four zero one k and put it into silver.
• 34:07
  And she listened to me. I think she took she took almost half of her four zero one k out, and she moved it over into silver. And now she and she bought a bunch of silver at $22 an ounce. It's now double that. Whereas her four zero one ks, maybe it would have increased 5% since then, if she's lucky, maybe a little bit more.
• 34:28
  But the key, though, is that she's safe. Because if at that time, say, you know, a year ago, say there would have been a stock crash, market kind of tanks and massive correction, her four zero one four zero one ks would have got smashed, but she's sitting in a safe asset. And if you look at it, I think this is why, and again, we've seen this exact same trend. Here you go, China is buying gold at record levels, up to 10 times the official report as the West piles on debt. Who's really hedging risk?
• 34:57
  And this is this is such an important point. If you look at what the bankers are doing, look at what the central bankers are doing, look at what the wealthy family offices are doing through the COMEX, the elites, whatever you wanna call them, they are moving their assets out of the markets, and they're putting them into gold and silver. The sovereign banks, the central banks, they are buying gold and silver at record levels. Why? Because they know the dollar is dying.
• 35:31
  It's a fiat currency. All fiat currencies have a life cycle. Gold is not a fiat currency. It's had value since the beginning of time, or I guess since it was first kind of used, you know, five over five thousand years ago. It's never lost its value.
• 35:46
  Silver even more so. I think silver is way undervalued. Actually, my personal advice is if you're buying either gold or silver right now, put your money into silver. You look at the ratio between gold and silver prices at historic lows. I think that, you know, say gold could double in price, silver could quadruple in price.
• 36:01
  That's my opinion. But that's why for me, it's mostly silver. You know? But this is it. They're saying, do as I say, not as I do.
• 36:11
  They're buying gold and silver. Because why? Because that's the lifeboat. That's the insurance policy. It's not about a speculation.
• 36:21
  Like, you don't You know, I keep this 10 ounce bar of silver on my desk as a reminder. This right here is insurance. Okay? This never goes to zero in its value. My Coinbase wallet, I think I've got maybe I've got like a thousand bucks worth of Bitcoin.
• 36:35
  I bought it a while ago for an online transaction. Anyway, that could go to zero, Right? This doesn't. Not to mention silver has all kinds of industrial uses, especially if you are entering into a war period. The amount of silver needed to make, you know, munitions and missiles, and not to mention AI and technology and everything.
• 36:53
  I expect to see silver go significantly higher than it is. Significantly. But this is a that's why I look at it. So again, this is just my own personal advice as if I was talking to my own mom or my grandfather, and they said, Seth, you know, you're studying a lot of those geopolitics things. What do you think?
• 37:10
  I would say, Get out of the markets, at least as much as you can, and put your money into things that have real value. Food, ammunition, tools, land, real assets. That's the key, is you need to have real assets. And to me, what's center to that? Gold and silver.
• 37:34
  It's a real asset. Because what happens is when the dollar keeps inflating and inflating and inflating. What it means is like, oh, you think, oh, it's inflating, it's gaining. No. It's being devalued, it's losing its value.
• 37:50
  But what you see is that they've kept it tied together, right, through the LBMA and these other crony mechanisms. They've suppressed the price of gold and silver to keep it so that the dollar and the gold or you know, gold prices and silver prices are staying pretty close together. But what's happening now is that those mechanisms are breaking, and you're seeing this is starting to happen. You're seeing the dollars going down as precious metals are going up. And so it's not only about taking your money and putting into an asset that will gain value, but you're also pulling it out of an asset that's going to be losing value.
• 38:21
  Not to mention, okay, yeah, stock market, you say, well, my returns in the stock market have been great. They've gone up 10% in the past year or whatever that is. That's it's also good until it's not. Right? Because the stock markets can crash.
• 38:32
  They can be a bubble. The housing market can collapse. So this is my own perspective on what's happening. I'm all about escaping the mechanisms that are being used to control us. You know, that's why I live in the country.
• 38:48
  You know, I try to be off grid as much as I can. We've got chickens. We've got gardens, guns to protect them, community, the neighbors, the neighbors around us. Because I, you know, I don't think that we're entering into ten years of just the golden age. I don't think that we're entering into this peaceful, nice period of time where everything's gonna be, you know, hunky dory.
• 39:06
  Maybe, you know, in December, I thought that Or sorry, December December, I thought, Well, maybe once Trump gets back in, we're gonna see these great changes. And, you know, there's been some good changes, honestly, I don't see much changing. I don't I see that we're The chaos is increasing. The funny stuff happening with the banking system is only increasing. And so, to me, my advice is get yourself out of the system.
• 39:30
  So, if you wanna buy gold and silver, if you know someone, great. Like, I used to work in the jewelry industry. I can tell you there's a lot of frauds and cheats there, so you just be careful. I wouldn't recommend buying from pawn shops unless you know the pawn shop owner really, really well. It's so easy.
• 39:45
  Because I I used to have I wasn't a pawn shop, but I bought a lot of over the counter stuff. I'd have people bringing in gold bars and gold necklaces, and a lot of it was fake. Now, I knew how to test it. If I couldn't test it with my own equipment, I had And I had friends that had, you know, really expensive testing equipment. There's a lot of fake stuff out there.
• 40:03
  They fill these that they put, you know, kind of metals that have the same weight and density as gold inside of a gold coin, and they put gold on the outside. So if you look at the outside, actually, it tests as gold. It's real gold, but it's real gold wrapped around something fake. So if you know someone that you can buy gold, great. If you don't know someone, I my personal go to is Noble Gold.
• 40:23

• 40:38
  They do that, but they're the best in the industry when comes to IRA and four zero one ks transfers because there's ways that you can do the transfers that you don't get hit with all the taxes and penalties. So if you want to pull money, say out of the stock market, out of your four zero one ks, out of your IRA, Noble Gold Investments. So it's goldwithseth.com or you just call (877) 646-5347. I'll make sure that information is also in the description below. But do your own research.
• 41:05
  That's the thing is, do your own research. You know, my goal here is I don't wanna tell you what to think. I wanna show you the research that I've done and the conclusions that I've come to. And I do believe that the whole talk of the great reset, all this stuff, it's not a joke. Like, these aren't, these aren't idle threats.
• 41:21
  This is real. The monetary system in our world is going to be reset. Everything is pointing towards it, whether you go into bricks, the de dollarization, you look at what's happening with the dollar. We're at the end of a cycle. We're at the end of a fiat currency cycle.
• 41:36
  It can't continue. The world is losing faith in the dollar. The dollar is no longer what it was in the eighties as this powerful global reserve currency. Countries are running away from the dollar because they know what's coming. And so if we're still sitting with our wealth that we have worked so hard to accumulate, our blood and our sweat and our tears have gone into accumulating this wealth, if we're still sitting in a place that's vulnerable, that's losing money, that is can be absolutely upset by the elites if they want to The stock market I look at the stock market complete sham.
• 42:11
  I think it's so controlled. It's I think it's about as controlled as our own media. Do you really think that do you really think like the the power brokers, Larry Finks, and the George Soros', and people even beyond them, do you think that there's like watching the stock market, say, gee, what's gonna happen today? No. They decide what's gonna happen with the stock market.
• 42:28
  And then they're doing this on purpose. It's at all times high. It's it's at all time highs because they've allowed it to be so. And maybe they're waiting. Maybe they're waiting till at least 50% of Americans are just dumping their money into the stock market.
• 42:42
  Because they want us to be poor. Because if we're poor, we're easier to control. So they want that to happen. But we have to take our own measures to make sure that doesn't happen. So there we go.
