Transcript
- 0:00$10,000 gold. Yes, $10,000 gold if Kamala
- 0:07Harris gets elected president of the United States.
- 0:10Thank you for being here this morning.
- 0:12Let's dive right in. We have an article from Schiff
- 0:17Sovereign telling us Kamala is going to drive gold to $10,000.
- 0:24Let's talk about why and if we think this would happen, guys.
- 0:29He says gold recently had $2500 all time high.
- 0:33The reality is there's a very good case to be made.
- 0:36The gold is still quite cheap compared to its trajectory.
- 0:40It's possible that in just a few years, $2500 gold could look
- 0:46remarkably and and expensive. He says it's because of the
- 0:50potential for a Democratic or Republican or Democratic
- 0:55President Kamala Harris. He says he's not a Democrat or a
- 0:58Republican. This is not a political show.
- 1:01I'm not making a political statement here, just reporting
- 1:04the facts of what some people see as a big potential for
- 1:09$10,000 gold if Kamala Harris gets gets elected.
- 1:14They said they talked to the Fed about this or some some
- 1:18reporters had in in policy. And to think that it was somehow
- 1:21wholesome and responsible to completely ignore perhaps the
- 1:26single most important factor that could drive the economy in
- 1:29the coming years, the outcome of the presidential election.
- 1:33But what are the reasons why people are saying that Kamala
- 1:37Harris could drive the price of precious metals higher?
- 1:40Well, they as it says, like she understands people are suffering
- 1:44and she partially diagnosis it accurately as a result of
- 1:48inflation, right? But she has no understanding of
- 1:52where inflation comes from, right?
- 1:55There's no discussion of government's role in running the
- 1:58multi trillion dollar deficits, the unprecedented fiscal and
- 2:02monetary stimulus and continuing to rack up trillions in debt
- 2:06every year even though there's no longer a national emergency.
- 2:11Her plans will undoubtedly. So she has these grandiose plans
- 2:17of how she's going to spend money.
- 2:18And again, I, I don't see either side of the political spectrum
- 2:22really addressing the true issue, but we're focusing in on
- 2:26Kamala right now. For example, this $25,000 home
- 2:32first home buyer subsidy plan, giving a new home home buyers a
- 2:36free $25,000 just means, and this makes sense, that houses
- 2:41would become $25,000 more expensive.
- 2:45It's exactly what happened during C19.
- 2:48They handed out all this free money, right?
- 2:50Remember. And what happened as a result of
- 2:53that? We had runaway inflation.
- 2:56The same thing will happen again.
- 2:59And the reality is we're in more of a, of a, of a critical
- 3:02situation because the debt has grown larger and larger and
- 3:06larger. The other thing that she's
- 3:08talking about doing is stifling competition by by by by using
- 3:16the legal system, he says, to go after private business, but more
- 3:20and more regulation, which will put more and more stress on
- 3:24business, less and less competition.
- 3:27It would create even more what a lot of people call supply side
- 3:32inflation, the attack on oil companies, as we've seen during
- 3:36the during this current administration shows us what
- 3:39happens when all of this occurs, he says.
- 3:43This is why ultimately by it's ultimately very, very difficult
- 3:48to see the dollar surviving as the OK.
- 3:51Now we're talking about the dollar losing a lot of its
- 3:55value, Very difficult to see the dollar surviving as the global
- 3:58reserve currency through a single term of a Kamala
- 4:02administration. Her policies will will create
- 4:05higher deficits, balloon the national debt and drive up
- 4:09inflation. Again, we're talking about the
- 4:11prospect of $10,000 gold, OK? The nature of a good reserve
- 4:17currency is stability. Then he goes on here to say that
- 4:20the biggest driver of gold prices is central banks.
- 4:23To me, it's clear the obvious sign that they're preparing for
- 4:26the end of the dollar is the dominant global reserve
- 4:29currency. Gold is likely and very
- 4:32reasonable reserve asset for them to hold in lieu of dollars.
- 4:36OK, 5000 year history, right? And we've talked about this
- 4:39guys. This is happening right now, OK.
- 4:44This is happening right now. And he basically ends up there
- 4:47by saying that there is a huge upward trajectory for the price
- 4:52of gold if we get and, and again, this is not a political
- 4:56statement because honestly, either candidate is not truly
- 5:00addressing the big elephant in the room, which is massive
- 5:04deficits in massive debt. But if we get Kamala in
- 5:08particular, we are going to see some government spending along
- 5:12the lines of what we never experienced before.
- 5:14It could be it. It could hasten the downfall of
- 5:18the dollar as the reserve currency.
- 5:20We're going to look next at what's going on with China, some
- 5:22new data out of China with unbelievable how much the yuan
- 5:28has grown on international trade.
- 5:30But when we look at what's going on, right, when we look at
- 5:33what's happening in the prospect of Kamala Harris as president,
- 5:37if she were to implement these spending plans, right?
- 5:40This war that we're in right now, or maybe a very, maybe an
- 5:45exaggerated term, but this massive battle that we have
- 5:48right now, guys in the world, it's happening.
- 5:51It's a, it's a battle between the US dollar and gold, OK, It's
- 5:55happening, right? We know what's happening with
- 5:58bricks. We know what's happening with
- 5:59the world central banks. The world is, is, is deciding
- 6:03basically there's only, there's only two options.
- 6:06If you're a country and you want to store reserve assets,
- 6:09essentially only two options. You either have the dollar or
- 6:13you have gold. Gold has been gaining traction
- 6:17at minimum, right? And what this author talks about
- 6:21is the fact that if the government continues, excuse me,
- 6:25with these policies that will further devalue the dollar.
- 6:30Guess what, guys? Gold and silver, precious metals
- 6:34are going to continue on this March higher.
- 6:37There's no other way about it. And what do we, what do we hear
- 6:40from Japan? Is it shocking to think that
- 6:43that the use of the Chinese yuan, the Chinese currency just
- 6:47in the last 15 years, what does this tell us?
- 6:51The last 15 years on a percentage basis, the use of the
- 6:55Chinese yuan has gone up by 470%.
- 7:00Forty. You do you do the math.
- 7:02Let's go check this out. This came from our friend, our
- 7:05friend Sean and his 11 year old daughter Neve.
- 7:10That's an Irish name and we've got a lot of great people that
- 7:13watch the channel from Ireland. We got a lot of great people and
- 7:16thank you Neve, right, our 11 year old research analyst and
- 7:20our good friend Sean. But we got a lot of great people
- 7:22all over the world, including you.
- 7:24Thank you for being here. Please subscribe to the channel.
- 7:28We'll put a new new piece of content every single day,
- 7:31whether I'm feeling under the weather like I happened to be
- 7:33today or on top of our game. We're going to talk about gold
- 7:36and silver. We're going to go through the
- 7:38ups and downs. We're going to do it together.
- 7:40Leave a comment in the comment section.
- 7:42Please give this a thumbs up and super chats are always, always
- 7:46super appreciated. I'm going to have a sip of
- 7:48coffee and then we're going to get into this Chinese yuan story
- 7:52because it is this has to do with the dollar, right?
- 7:55D dollarization the The battle right now in the world between
- 8:01precious metals and the US dollar.
- 8:10This comes from Bloomberg. The Chinese yuan, the key points
- 8:14in red that I wrote. Chinese yuan overtook the
- 8:16Japanese yen. The use of the Chinese yuan up
- 8:19470% in 15 years. The Chinese yuan is accounting
- 8:24for a This is from Bloomberg a growing share of international
- 8:27payments, while the euro share continues to ebb.
- 8:31OK. The portion of transactions
- 8:33involving the yuan rose to 4.7% in March, so almost 5% of the
- 8:40world's trades was conducted in the yuan, the highest since
- 8:44SWIFT created their new baseline.
- 8:46The euro share dipped below 22% last month and under the 24%.
- 8:52So the euro is losing ground while the yuan is gaining ground
- 8:57in purple. This is where it starts to get
- 8:58interesting. The yuan has been the world's
- 9:02fourth most transacted currency since November, according to
- 9:06SWIFT data, overtaking the Japanese yen for the first time
- 9:11since 2022. So the the the the yuan, the
- 9:16Chinese currency, is now overtaking the currency of the
- 9:19world's what third biggest economy, the Japanese and the
- 9:23Japanese yen. China's currency still trails
- 9:26the dollar, euro and pound. That this is interesting.
- 9:30The greenback share of total global payments, meanwhile, far
- 9:36exceeds that of its rival, Excuse me, holding relatively
- 9:41steady around 47%. So the dollar is still dominant.
- 9:45Now this is where it gets real interesting.
- 9:48When Swift first began tracking the yuan's usage in 2010, 14
- 9:53years ago, its share of a global total was less than .1%.
- 10:01OK, so it has gone up from .1% all the way to point I'm sorry
- 10:07to 4.7%. That is in my what is that a
- 10:13470% increase in 15 years, right?
- 10:17Sure, they're still only roughly 5% of the world's global trade.
- 10:23But look at the rate of increase in adoption of the Chinese yuan,
- 10:28and it says that here. China's increasingly carving out
- 10:32a role for its currency in global trade and finance, a push
- 10:36hastened by the levy of U.S. sanctions against Russia.
- 10:39The yuan's usage in Russian export payments, for example,
- 10:42surged in 2022, as Bloomberg reported at the time.
- 10:47So that's what we're seeing happening in the world, a
- 10:50massive battle between the dollar in some foreign
- 10:55currencies, but more importantly, a massive battle
- 10:58going on between precious metals and essentially the dollar.
- 11:03The world is not going to move to the Chinese yuan as the
- 11:06preferred reserve asset. The world is not going to move
- 11:10to the euro as the world's preserve world's preferred
- 11:14reserve asset. The world had used U.S. dollars
- 11:19in U.S. Treasuries as the preferred
- 11:22reserve asset. Now what we're talking about,
- 11:25there's trade data between countries.
- 11:27There's a difference between the dollar as a as a trade used as a
- 11:31trade mechanism in the dollar being used as a reserve.
- 11:36But on both sides, what we're seeing is a big move away from
- 11:40the dollar, whether we're talking just pure currency or
- 11:44U.S. Treasuries, and towards precious
- 11:47metals, which will only continue, which will only give
- 11:51us more and more. What about draining the COMEX?
- 11:55I got a very interesting piece of data here from one of you.
- 11:59OK, you guys, I tell you, I read your emails, I read the
- 12:02comments. Please leave comments in the
- 12:04comments section. But next we're going to talk
- 12:06about our friend Andreas in Germany, who tells us about what
- 12:10it's like to buy precious metals in Germany.
- 12:13But why when we were so focused on the on the price of silver,
- 12:17for instance, in China, really there's more opportunity to
- 12:22drain the COMEX, drain the LBMA by what's going on in Germany.
- 12:27I'll let you be the judge. We'll go there soon.
- 12:30Let's run out and take a quick look though at the prices
- 12:33because gold and silver are trading as far as I know.
- 12:36Here we are channel sponsor Pinbecks.
- 12:39Let's do an update here. We've got OK, gold is down about
- 12:43$1.50, silver down about $0.30. So not a great day in the
- 12:47markets, but not a horrible day. Hey guys, please check out Pin
- 12:51Backs channel sponsor. They make this video, this live
- 12:54stream possible. You can buy gold, you can buy
- 12:58silver, you can buy platinum group metal, OK, you're going to
- 13:01find a great selection, you're going to find great service, a
- 13:04company that has a wonderful reputation, OK and most
- 13:09importantly, ultra competitive prices.
- 13:12Compare what you can, what you pay for Auk Britannia, compare
- 13:18what you pay for American Silver Eagles to the other big online
- 13:22bullion dealers. And I think what you'll find is
- 13:25you get more metal for your money with Pembex.
- 13:27And please, please, please, please, if just this helps just
- 13:31one of you if you ever decide to convert an IRA into precious
- 13:37metals, OK, take your time #1 take your time, do a lot of
- 13:43research, shop around, compare how much actual physical metal
- 13:47you're getting for each of those IRA dollars that you're thinking
- 13:51of converting. And please give Pen Backs a call
- 13:55when you go to do that as well. I think you could be shocked at
- 13:58how much more metal you can get for your money with an IRA
- 14:02conversion from Pymbex as compared to maybe some of those
- 14:06companies that maybe advertise on Fox News and some of the big
- 14:10channels. But you need to find that out
- 14:12for yourself. I'm never giving financial
- 14:14advice. Let's go to our German friend
- 14:17Andreas. OK, He brought up something very
- 14:20interesting. See if you agree with this.
- 14:23This is draining the comex in the LBMA, according to our
- 14:26friend, our German friend Andreas.
- 14:28Fascinating data about German and European silver prices.
- 14:33This is this is good guys. What we can see the spot price
- 14:36for silver as of his riding of this was about €26 or $28.86 and
- 14:45that's at that euro to dollar exchange rates.
- 14:47OK. But he brings up a great point.
- 14:50The price is an economic theory and practice is the price you
- 14:54buy or sell things for. What he means is so this they
- 14:58they report the spot price, but what really matters is what do
- 15:01you buy for? What do you sell for when you
- 15:03buy a silver And this is focused on silver.
- 15:09He says right now I I can buy in Europe a Canadian Maple Leaf oz.
- 15:15That's the cheapest one that you can buy in Europe for about
- 15:193030.43 euro and that's reuse quality.
- 15:24That means this is not a brilliant uncirculate
- 15:26uncirculated, no special year, just random used coins, which
- 15:31converts to about $33.61 US. OK, that's almost 16% above the
- 15:37spot price. That's the first, first offer
- 15:41listed is not available. So that's the cheapest price of
- 15:45the cheapest oz that you can get in Germany.
- 15:48The cheapest ounce of physical silver in Germany right now or
- 15:52Europe that you can that he could find was about $33.61.
- 15:58That's a little bit higher than what we just saw, you know,
- 16:01because at the time of his writing here, the spot price it
- 16:05was in U.S. dollars was just under $29.00.
- 16:11He says in green. At the same time, I can sell as
- 16:14a stacker my used coins, again, used quality, no special year,
- 16:18just just you know, kind of generic used sovereign coins to
- 16:23the bullion dealers for about €29, which is about $32.
- 16:29He can sell silver, go to his LCS and sell it for about $32.
- 16:34So we can say that for physical silver, the price for me as a,
- 16:38as a, as a stacker to sell my coins is at least 10% higher
- 16:44than the spot price, right? He can go cash out his coins for
- 16:48$32 US. He says this is the real price.
- 16:52So for so for consumers, the spot price really has no
- 16:56relevance. Again, this is in Europe.
- 17:01And then in Shanghai, he points out the difference in the price.
- 17:03We've studied that right, Thanks to the Oriental Ghost.
- 17:06The price for silver in Shanghai is always much higher.
- 17:10For me, the most important question is this.
- 17:12The spot price we look at is also for for stackers, not
- 17:16relevant because we can sell to the next bullion shop for about
- 17:20$32 US in Germany. We should look more at consumer
- 17:25prices and not the spot price, right?
- 17:28So every ounce of silver guys that you have right now, if you
- 17:31were in Germany, he's saying you could sell back at the time of
- 17:34this riding for about $32 US, OK.
- 17:40In the German European price is even higher than what they're
- 17:44quoting on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 17:47Here's the important part. There's a possibility not only
- 17:50to have an arbitrage between the spot price between let's say the
- 17:53LBMA and the Shanghai Gold Exchange, which is about $3.80
- 17:58US, but also for the European market, when you compare the
- 18:03LBMA versus the German European prices, which would be $33.61
- 18:11less the spot of 2886, which would be almost five U.S.
- 18:15dollars, so the year. So the price difference and and
- 18:18possibility to drain the exchanges is also possible if
- 18:22you sell the silver in Europe for even a greater difference
- 18:30than in Shanghai, meaning there's even a greater premium
- 18:33on silver even for everyday people in Germany.
- 18:37And you do not need to transport the metal around the world.
- 18:40What he's talking about is will business people jump on this?
- 18:44Physical silver is more expensive in Germany than in
- 18:48Shanghai metal exchange right now.
- 18:50I guess the demand in Europe must have increased rapidly.
- 18:54So for the draining of the exchanges, we do not need
- 18:58Shanghai. On the contrary, if the physical
- 19:01silver retail price further increases, the arbitrage will
- 19:06further increase, which might speed up the draining of the
- 19:10exchanges, Meaning people would be crazy not to buy money.
- 19:14A metal on the on the LBMA or the COMEX and you could go even,
- 19:19you know, in theory you can go sell it in Germany for even more
- 19:24of a premium than what we're seeing on the Shanghai Gold
- 19:27Exchange. Now in his last paragraph, he
- 19:29does point this out. The only thing I do not know is
- 19:32whether taxes right, that's the caveat here.
- 19:34Import duties and the like might make this business less
- 19:38attractive. But apart from that, the
- 19:39difference between LBMA and physical retail prices in Europe
- 19:44will fuel the draining from the LBMA and the and the COMEX.
- 19:48Thank you Andreas, our friend from Germany.
- 19:51That was an very interesting. What he's pointing out is this
- 19:57in Shanghai on their gold exchange, on the on the physical
- 20:00market, the price of silver is always 10% higher, at least as
- 20:05of late. What he's pointing out with
- 20:09Germany is even for retail, we're not talking about a big
- 20:13exchange, we're talking retail. That you can sell back.
- 20:17You or I, if we were in Germany, could essentially when he wrote
- 20:21that piece. I think the price is down $0.30
- 20:23now. But anyway, you can sell your
- 20:26ounces of silver that you have right now in Germany to a coin
- 20:30shop for $32 per oz. Who wouldn't want to go?
- 20:34Maybe we should all run to the Comex, right?
- 20:36Buy a bunch of silver. And what he's saying is there's
- 20:39an imbalance there that the market through what's called
- 20:42arbitrage, which is a fancy way of saying I can buy it over here
- 20:47cheaper at the COMEX in the LBMA, drain the COMEX, drain the
- 20:51LBMA and sell it even on a retail level in Europe, in
- 20:57Germany for a substantially higher price, right.
- 21:00Depending if you're you're selling back to a coin shop,
- 21:03you'll you you could sell it for $3 higher roughly.
- 21:06And if you were an actual coin shop, in theory, again,
- 21:11independent of any tax implications, which may throw a
- 21:14wrench into all this, but if you're a coin shop, you can sell
- 21:18the silver for like $5.00 an ounce higher.
- 21:22And people in Germany love silver and gold.
- 21:24Our good German friends. Thank you, Andreas, for that,
- 21:27for that great piece of information.
- 21:28Thanks again to our friend Neve also for the information about
- 21:32the Chinese yuan. Guys, thanks for contributing to
- 21:35the channel. OK, It makes a big, big
- 21:37difference. This is a big week.
- 21:40I know it's Monday, doesn't feel like Monday, but this we're in a
- 21:43big week for the metals. Don't forget Friday, OK, jobs
- 21:47numbers come out and then about week and 1/2 after that, we're
- 21:52going to have the big Fed interest rate announcement.
- 21:55No matter what it does, the Fed can't, can't erase the fact that
- 22:00on a from a national debt perspective, from a fiscal
- 22:03irresponsibility perspective, we are in deep, deep trouble in
- 22:07this country. OK, what else do we have?
- 22:11Wow, guys, we got a lot more to cover, man.
- 22:13Thank you again for being here. What about no more?
- 22:16What about Labor Day? Happy Labor Day to everyone.
- 22:19OK? I, when I was in college, was a
- 22:23member of the Steel Workers Union Local 110 here in Saint
- 22:27Louis. We made steel baby food cans.
- 22:29Whatever you did in your career, thank you for your labor.
- 22:32That's how we that's how we contribute to each other is by
- 22:35our work, right at the very, very base of it all.
- 22:38Buckle up, buttercup. Did you hear Michael Oliver
- 22:41talking about $8000 gold? The prospect for $8000 gold.
- 22:47Let's talk about a couple things that Michael Oliver's telling
- 22:50us. This is one of the most
- 22:52respected basement dweller type guy, right?
- 22:55He's a gold and silver enthusiast.
- 22:57He's been working in the sector for for decades.
- 23:00Everybody loves him. OK, we're talking about the hens
- 23:04coming home to roost guys. Don't forget, right, the US
- 23:09economy lived like a, like a drug addict for the last what,
- 23:1315 years? We basically had 10 years out of
- 23:16the last 15 years with 0% free money in the hens are coming
- 23:21home to roost and it's happening right now.
- 23:23What they're saying is, buckle up, buttercup, OK?
- 23:27Because when the when the Fed announces its rate cuts here and
- 23:32in a couple weeks, we could likely see a drop in the stock
- 23:35market. Think about it.
- 23:37The lag effect of all those previous interest rate hikes are
- 23:41just now really starting to fully hit the economy.
- 23:45And one or two little rate cuts isn't going to immediately
- 23:49reverse things. OK, We are in for some some
- 23:52turbulent times in the market. But Michael Oliver points out,
- 23:56and I'll point it out as well, everybody, if you notice that,
- 23:59everybody says, oh, hold on a second, I'm going to tell you
- 24:03what everybody says and why everybody, not you and me, but
- 24:06everybody else can often be wrong.
- 24:16Everybody says, oh, when the stock market goes down, and we
- 24:20could very likely, and I could be wrong, but very likely, and I
- 24:24believe we will see the market the pull back once and the
- 24:29interest rates are actually officially announced.
- 24:32OK, it's already been priced then.
- 24:34But everybody says, oh, gold and silver have to go down.
- 24:38It's a rush for liquidity. It happened in 2008.
- 24:41There's plenty of examples throughout history.
- 24:44I won't bore you, but I will tell you and it's good news for
- 24:47you as a silver and gold investor.
- 24:50There's plenty of examples throughout history where when
- 24:54the stock market went through very difficult times, the price
- 25:00of gold and silver did just great, OK.
- 25:03And I think that we could be in for that right now.
- 25:08Excuse me, guys, I'm dealing with some allergies or I don't
- 25:11know what's going on. Hold on one SEC.
- 25:16So be prepared, OK? I think we're going to have the
- 25:20stock market go down and gold and silver are going to react
- 25:22ultra quickly. There might be an ultra fast
- 25:26bump down, but I don't see some like big, big draw down like we
- 25:30did see quickly. Remember how fast it happened
- 25:34during the C19 crisis and it happened in 2008.
- 25:37That's what everybody says, oh, it happened then.
- 25:39So it's got no, it does not have to happen again, OK.
- 25:43Michael Oliver points out the potential for $8000 gold.
- 25:49He does a lot of in depth like cycle analysis, chart analysis.
- 25:54He says that the current bowl cycle that we're in right now
- 25:58for gold started at around the $1000 price range.
- 26:03And typically these cycles have 800% returns.
- 26:06So it's very easy, right, to see that we could get as high as
- 26:12$8000 gold in this cycle. I believe he called the top last
- 26:17time. This guy knows what he's talking
- 26:19about, right? And I know it may sound crazy to
- 26:22US, $8000 gold, right? Where do you think silver would
- 26:26be? If we get the $8000 gold?
- 26:29I'm gonna say, you know, maybe we get our triple digit number.
- 26:32Maybe old, maybe old Smitty here, right?
- 26:36Remember the silver bear? His blindfold comes off at $85.
- 26:40Maybe we get that, but that's what Michael Oliver's calling
- 26:43for. And again, he reiterates, the
- 26:48gold and silver price don't always fall just because the
- 26:54stock market falls, right? Just because that's happened a
- 26:58couple of times doesn't mean that it absolutely has to happen
- 27:02again. OK, Are they going to get rid of
- 27:04your pennies? Remember pennies?
- 27:06I don't know if I have any pennies down here.
- 27:08We're going to talk about the New York Times.
- 27:09I think they're setting us up. I think they're setting us up
- 27:12for CBDCSI do OK. I think they're setting us up
- 27:17for the elimination of cash in the United States.
- 27:21We're going to talk about that in just one second.
- 27:23Have a drink with me. Wow, Debbie, thank you for the
- 27:38Super chat. Man, I feel like the luckiest
- 27:42guy going. I got to be honest guys, I got a
- 27:43horrible sore throat right now. So the Super chat is super
- 27:47appreciated. I am get where I am.
- 27:49We got more to talk about, but I am lumbering through this with a
- 27:53very bad sore throat. But I love to talk.
- 27:55I love the fact you're here. Debbie, thank you for that.
- 27:58It is much appreciated on behalf of myself and and Susie and the
- 28:02whole family. And thank you to the moderators.
- 28:04Yes, guys, please type 888. I'm going to do it myself to say
- 28:11thank you to those who moderate Jake from Jake's Custom Parts,
- 28:15Annie Oakley. OK.
- 28:17And of course, Big 10, the silvershire and silver Susie.
- 28:21Thank you, Debbie. Are they taking our pennies
- 28:24away? New York Times article, Right.
- 28:28Look, I don't, I hate, I don't think we're going to have cash,
- 28:31guys. I think this stuff is going to
- 28:33be gone within the next 10 years.
- 28:36Bye, bye. OK.
- 28:38We don't really like it anyway, right when we know there's that
- 28:40massive war going on in the world between real money,
- 28:44precious metals. Thank you again, Debbie.
- 28:46And and the dollar and removing cash is part of what they're
- 28:54going to do in this move towards a CBDC.
- 28:57OK, so we've got an article from the New York Times.
- 29:02Hold on here. Wrong one.
- 29:07Oh, that's our viewer comment. We'll talk about that later.
- 29:10Hold on here. Here we go.
- 29:12The penny. This is from The New York Times
- 29:14by Katie Weaver. She's a writer for The New York
- 29:17Times Magazine. OK.
- 29:19The red notes are mine. It's a sad state of affairs
- 29:22because of inflation. And you're going to understand
- 29:25that more in a second here. A sad state of affairs because
- 29:28this is part of the end of cash. And a sad state of affairs
- 29:31because we are being likely moved towards a CBDC, she says.
- 29:37If you if you live in America or used to live in America, or
- 29:40perhaps went to America at one time or another, you are almost
- 29:45certainly performing unpaid labor for the US government and
- 29:50have been for years. How?
- 29:51By storing some of the billions of pennies the US Mint makes
- 29:56every year. This is unbelievable statistics
- 29:59about pennies, guys, that virtually no one uses.
- 30:03OK, she says. Why are we still making tons,
- 30:07many thousands of tons of pennies if no one uses them?
- 30:11That's a sensible question for a for a psychiotic and psychotic
- 30:16answer. We have to keep making all the
- 30:18pennies over $45 million worth last year because no one uses
- 30:24them. In fact, it would be very bad if
- 30:27we actually did use pennies. OK, but few people ever spend
- 30:31pennies. Most people just store them.
- 30:34The one cent coins where you just leave them wherever you got
- 30:38them, right? Your change thing, whatever.
- 30:40I'm guilty of that. This is very interesting.
- 30:43You might think an obvious solution now presents itself.
- 30:49Why not encourage people to use pennies they've been lying
- 30:51around instead of manufacturing new ones every year?
- 30:54We can't, or any or any way we better not use all those pennies
- 30:59because according to the US met, if even a modest share of our
- 31:04neglected pennies suddenly returned to circulation, the
- 31:08result would be a logistically unmanageable dilemma for the
- 31:13Earth's Earth's wealthiest nation.
- 31:16As in, a penny tsunami would overwhelm government vaults.
- 31:21Basically guys, if we all started using our pennies again
- 31:24and brought them to the bank and tried to cash them in, whatever,
- 31:27the US Mint couldn't deal with it.
- 31:29It would be overwhelming. It'd be crazy.
- 31:31Only Congress can retire the American one out cent.
- 31:35OK, And if you're And if you're a penny lover, there's happy
- 31:39news for you too. This is crazy since the Since it
- 31:42first began issuing 1 cent coins in 1793, the United States has
- 31:46produced about half a trillion of them, far more than the
- 31:50number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
- 31:54Even if we get rid of the penny, there will be plenty to go
- 31:57around forever, and I think it's 1984 pennies.
- 32:00Somewhere on here it actually says why did how did I miss
- 32:04this? It cost.
- 32:06It actually cost the US Mint three cents to make a penny,
- 32:12even with the fact that they're not made out of copper anymore.
- 32:15And I believe it's 1984 and earlier, pennies are actually
- 32:20made out of copper. So again, though, what I see
- 32:23here is it's a sad, a sad statement about the because when
- 32:27you remember when we were kids and pennies meant something, I
- 32:30guess that would be my question, right?
- 32:31Do you pick up pennies when you're walking down the street?
- 32:34I do OK, But I think a lot of people don't.
- 32:37People just don't care anymore. It's a sad state of affairs.
- 32:40It's a statement about the devaluation of the US dollar,
- 32:45right? If those pennies had been made
- 32:47out of silver or gold for, for that matter, they would still
- 32:51have all their value right now, right?
- 32:54But since what, 1984? They're made out of I think what
- 32:57zinc and a tiny bit of copper or something like that.
- 33:01They're not worth anything. People don't care, right?
- 33:04I mean, and it's, and again, I think it's also a statement as
- 33:08to the fact that our government is eventually going to want a
- 33:11move to move away from coins and paper money.
- 33:16We're going to be CBDC or precious metals.
- 33:21I think that could actually be a good thing for the precious
- 33:24metals. I think another good thing is
- 33:25going to be this Western investor.
- 33:27Hold on one second. Oh my gosh, I'm on mute.
- 34:19Oh my gosh, I apologize, guys. I was on mute.
- 34:22Hopefully not for too long. Thank you all 600 of you, for
- 34:28staying with me. I'll quickly say Jake from
- 34:30Jake's Custom Parts informed us that that it's 1982 or earlier
- 34:36pennies that are made out of copper.
- 34:38I don't know if you heard that or not because Ronnie pressed
- 34:40the mute button. I have to.
- 34:42I've been a little sick, so I got a cough, whatever.
- 34:46And we have 200 thumbs up. I want you to let me know in the
- 34:51that. Yeah, Jasper, we're back on
- 34:53with. We have 200 thumbs up.
- 34:55Let me know if you guys can hear this.
- 35:00OK. That's for 200 thumbs up.
- 35:01Thank you, Jake, for saving us. Yes, 82.
- 35:06Yeah. So but the wheels fall off the
- 35:09bus sometimes here. I'm going to go to my audio,
- 35:12make sure you guys could hear that.
- 35:13Yeah, You should have been able to hear, hear the bell.
- 35:16OK, speak on the title of the video I did at the beginning.
- 35:20Absolutely that under a Kamala Harris administration, some
- 35:24people are saying that the price of precious metals could
- 35:28absolutely skyrocket because of more deficit spending more.
- 35:35It's really A2 pronged concept. We would have a lot more
- 35:39spending and a lot more regulation of business that
- 35:44would create even more supply side inflation.
- 35:48OK, those two things together could be a lethal combination to
- 35:53the value of the US dollar. That coupled with the fact that
- 35:57the world is already moving away from the dollar as both a trade
- 36:01currency and a reserve currency. OK, All right, guys.
- 36:07No problem. Blessed.
- 36:07Thank you, Susie. Thank you.
- 36:08Cowbell for the win. Yes.
- 36:11Hopefully you guys could hear the cowbell there.
- 36:13If not, please send me an e-mail.
- 36:15It has to do with the microphone settings.
- 36:17Anyway, here we go. Oh, we're you got I got.
- 36:21I don't even have myself. Boy, I tell you what, I'm here.
- 36:24We're going to go back to the viewer comment and we're going
- 36:27to talk about this Lawrence. Cool, Cole said.
- 36:31What Western investor, OK, this is in reference to a previous
- 36:37video that I made where we talked about the Western
- 36:40investor coming back into the precious metals sector and what
- 36:45a massive impact it could have on the price.
- 36:48Because we already know we've got the Eastern, the Indian,
- 36:52China demand that has driven us up, the central bank demand for
- 36:56gold, the 2500 for silver, 2850, wherever we are right now.
- 37:00But he says, what Western investor?
- 37:02I think it's already priced in. I think anything we could ever
- 37:06come up with is already priced in by people with more time and
- 37:11connection and info in the game. Hey, I appreciate your comment.
- 37:16I totally respect your point of view, but I don't agree with
- 37:20that. I do not think that right now we
- 37:23are in a situation where gold, the current gold and silver
- 37:27prices are reflecting the Western investor, OK.
- 37:32I think, I think that that that money right has just been a
- 37:37trickle and the gold and silver don't really because that's just
- 37:41pure money coming into gold and silver.
- 37:44Rick Rule often states right, .5% of the world's and the
- 37:50western financial assets are invested in physical gold and
- 37:54silver and or the mining stocks, right?
- 37:57That's just a money flow type thing.
- 38:00So now that we are starting to see a trickle, a trickle of
- 38:05interest in gold, physical gold and silver and the mining stocks
- 38:10from the Western investor, we're starting to see real support for
- 38:14the metals. If we get into well, it's not
- 38:19if, it's when, in my opinion that changes and that trickle
- 38:23turns into more of, you know, right now on a scale of one to
- 38:2510, I'd say maybe we're at A2. When we go to 4-5 or six, I
- 38:31think you could have explosive results on the precious metals
- 38:35prices. Hey guys, thank you for being
- 38:38with me today. Thank you for being part of the
- 38:40basement. I want to say thank you to
- 38:41channel sponsor First Mining Gold, their Canadian gold
- 38:44developer, 2 multi million ounce development stage projects in
- 38:49Canada and Fortuna Mining, right.
- 38:52They're a producing gold and silver mining company, gold and
- 38:56silver in Latin America in big amounts of gold right now in
- 39:00West Africa and some exciting exploration stage projects on
- 39:05top of that in West Africa, the Diamba Sood project in Senegal.
- 39:11Most important, Happy Labor Day. OK, Thank you so much.
- 39:15Please be nice to yourself. Thank you for being a basement
- 39:18dweller. Thanks for hanging out down here
- 39:20with me. Thanks for the Super chats.

- 39:26of us, right? There's there's one me, there's
- 39:28one you. Thanks for coming here, right?
