Gold, Germany, and the Great Trust Test: Fed Vault Custody, Paper Promises, Bullion Banks, and Dalio’s Empire Stages · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Good morning. Hello. Welcome. I am Samuel Trapp. This is International Flavor.
• 0:06
  I'm on DAM Radio. You can listen all the time at damradio.com forward slash live.
• 0:12
  All of my shows are recorded and put out there on internationalflavor.com. You can phone into
• 0:18
  the studio 573-746-8020 or 8020 depending on how you look at it, but I get the 80, you get the 20.
• 0:27
  Um, lots and lots of happy crappy going on in the world. And, uh, it's tons of talk about the, uh,
• 0:35
  collapse. Now, now people are starting to take it seriously. Now, mainstream,
• 0:40
  you're seeing a ton of this on, uh, on money policy, on tariffs, on, uh, sanctions,
• 0:46
  on everything that's going on. There's a big debates going on and I'm trying to follow it
• 0:50
  and learn more. I must tell you, I've never been the greatest at, uh, keeping track of this stuff.
• 0:57
  I've, I've stayed out of it. So don't, don't, don't claim to be an expert, but I watched a video
• 1:02
  that I'm going to play today, um, for you. And it was well done. Uh, I don't even know if it's true.
• 1:10
  I'm trying to find out some more stuff, but it certainly piqued my interest. And, uh, so I'm
• 1:17
  going to play it. It's about gold. And I watched a video that really, if it's not frightening,
• 1:25
  it should be okay. If it doesn't bother you, or if you have mistrust, I do not trust the government,
• 1:32
  not remotely. And, uh, I don't trust the actors in the state of Missouri at all. They are not
• 1:41
  looking out for us, period, the end of the sentence, period, the end. They, they have
• 1:50
  their own lives, their own, uh, goals and it ain't to take care of us. It's not, there may be a tiny
• 1:58
  bit, you know, they may start out thinking that they're going to take care of us. I believe,
• 2:04
  and I've always believed, and I have this argument with a lot of people, and I have always believed
• 2:10
  that term limits, term limits are the answer. And I say these term limits are the answer because
• 2:23
  our system, the way the capitalist system is set up. And we went over it yesterday. I talked about
• 2:30
  how there, I played that Chinese, uh, video for you, the guy who was given the economist,
• 2:36
  venture capitalist who is from China and when gave us an outbreak on China yesterday. That
• 2:42
  was very interesting, uh, audio, very interesting show. I really should play the whole thing for you
• 2:47
  and maybe I will. Um, today's the last show of the week. Um, I'm trying to get my Russian channel,
• 2:54
  uh, back up and operating again. And I believe I'm like 99% there. And, uh, it's a, it's a video
• 3:02
  channel and it's a YouTube channel. And I have, I only have 15,000 followers, Russian speaking.
• 3:09
  So I'm going to do my Russian speaking. I got to get my channel back up and going. And I want to
• 3:15
  talk about this. I like to talk, I get interviewed as you know, uh, fairly often, a couple, three
• 3:21
  times a year, uh, in, on Russian, uh, uh, sources. I published articles in Russian, in Russia and,
• 3:30
  uh, uh, from an American perspective and American point of view and, uh, Americans,
• 3:38
  I think we are shielded. Uh, maybe, maybe we're from the real world because we are a little bit
• 3:47
  separate. We are apart. We've been the shining city on the Hill. And we've been taught that
• 3:55
  for so long that a lot of people aren't aware that there are a good number of shining cities
• 4:01
  on the Hill and that there are great places. The, the American experiment
• 4:09
  works. Okay. It works, but every experiment by every, every well, social experiment,
• 4:17
  every experiment of this nature starts with the greatest of intentions and ends up corrupt or
• 4:24
  corrupted. Don't tell me that, that the United States has no corruption, be freaking S that is,
• 4:33
  it is not true at all. You got to kiss the right ass to get ahead. And if you're doing anything
• 4:41
  with the government, uh, in Russian, they call it licking the ass leisure job. And there are people
• 4:48
  who are in fact, they've created a noun for it. Do you want to know what an ass kisser is?
• 4:52
  It is a Joe police. It's a guy who, uh, licks, it's a suck up, you know, we call him a suck up
• 5:01
  and a Joe police is a guy who licks the ass of his, in the child, Nick and the child, Nick, his boss
• 5:06
  is your police. And the child, Nick is, is, is, is what they say. And I don't, I'm just babbling
• 5:12
  today because I watched a couple of interesting videos and, uh, uh, and one of them on gold. So
• 5:21
  I think that there are some scary, scary things happening in the world and on international flavor.
• 5:29
  We like to talk about them. And my focus is on macro large scale, big time, uh, world matters,
• 5:37
  big time, things that trickle down to us. They matter, but they matter more as a country.
• 5:43
  And our idiot governments are supposed to be looking out for the people. The one I talked to
• 5:51
  you about yesterday, the, the Chinese, uh, assessment by that, uh, Eric Lee, uh, Eric E E R
• 5:59
  I C L E L I. It was a great video if you can find it. And, uh, I summarized it for you yesterday.
• 6:07
  Well, I've been on this topic for a little bit. And when I get on a topic, I, and y'all know how
• 6:13
  it happens on your phone, on your radio on, well, not on your radio, but because you, you have to
• 6:19
  twist the dial. Yeah. Or you have to find me on your, on your channel. But when you check something
• 6:26
  out on your phone, all of a sudden you'll get 50 other articles about the exact same thing.
• 6:32
  When you click something on YouTube, you'll get 50 more videos about the same thing. And it's hard
• 6:38
  to differentiate or to be selective about what the heck you're gonna, uh, believe or exist. There's
• 6:48
  so much information out there that it's hard to ascertain what's the best or the most truthful,
• 6:59
  but none of us, if you believe the mainstream media, you need to have your head examined
• 7:07
  truthfully. If you believe anything, just because CNN reported it or Bloomberg said it, or
• 7:14
  president Trump said it, or anybody with something to sell said it well, always consider the source
• 7:23
  always. And most of the time you should get it from the real source right now. They're talking
• 7:28
  about who are they beating up on now? It's a foreign leader feet. So from, uh, uh, Serbia,
• 7:35
  is it? I can't remember. And, uh, but they're beating up on him because allegedly somebody
• 7:40
  said that somebody said that while he was at Mar-a-Lago, he felt that the conversation he had
• 7:46
  personally discussing with Trump was, uh, that Trump was dangerous and that he allegedly told
• 7:53
  this to some people. And so we hear from a friend of a friend of a friend that feet. So may have
• 7:59
  heard there said to some other friend that wasn't involved in anybody passing out the information
• 8:06
  that Donald Trump may be dangerous. Where the hell do you get this information? Okay. Somebody calls
• 8:13
  up and says, man, I saw your wife with another man. Uh, she was at, at, at some place. And I'm
• 8:19
  making this up by the way, nobody called me and said, said that there's a, but, but as an example,
• 8:23
  somebody said that she saw your man and boy, their hands touched. And it Kate, well, who told you
• 8:29
  that? Well, Jim Bob and Jim Bob heard it from slim and slim heard it from bucko and bucko saw it.
• 8:35
  Well, how many steps, you know, uh, you know, it's like the fricking, what do we got the,
• 8:40
  the two 10 cans and a string game going on here. You have to understand the source. And so I usually
• 8:49
  try to tell you, I usually try to watch it myself, especially when it pertains to Russia,
• 8:55
  to, uh, Ukraine and all the crap that I'm extremely interested in the, I have very little
• 9:01
  positive in my life. That is, that is me that are, there are things that I can be extremely proud of.
• 9:06
  And one of them is the fact that I was a diplomatic interpreter for a onsite inspection agency during
• 9:14
  a very serious period of time when we were de escalating, we were getting rid of weapons of
• 9:26
  nuclear weapons between the Russians and Americans. My Russian is very good. I still make grammatical
• 9:32
  errors. I don't care, never have cared. And that's probably why my Russian got very good
• 9:37
  because I try to correct it if I can. And I take criticism pretty well. If somebody's going to call
• 9:42
  and say, well, you missed this. That word's not that way. They don't say it that way. Oh, well,
• 9:46
  how do they say it? I'd like to know. And it's from the point of view that, well, you know,
• 9:51
  Hey, I'm human. People make mistakes. Right. And so I've always approached Russian that way. I've
• 9:56
  always been curious. Well, how do you say a slick of a, of a boss? How do you say that one day I
• 10:03
  spent one day with a, with an interpreter named Valeri Kuzmin, who is a professor from what I
• 10:09
  understand. He was a professor at Moscow state university, taught, taught kids. When I went to
• 10:14
  Russia, I ran into him or talk to him, had a dinner or something with him and his wife and met a bunch
• 10:20
  of, uh, his students from Moscow state university is freaking awesome. And when we sat down and
• 10:26
  talked to the, to them and we had a, we had a couple of drinks. It was pretty fun. Okay. And
• 10:31
  because I'm a curious non-confrontational type of guy, I like that kind of thing. I try to avoid
• 10:37
  conflict as most of us do. And so, but the curiosity is what is what I wish to expose and
• 10:45
  put out and find out and hearing it from the source directly, you know, and a lot of us do this. And,
• 10:52
  but then again, the news, you never do it. What is the news in America? Talking freaking points.
• 10:58
  They put it out in a, you know, how long did we hear Venezuela was for narco terrorism? Bullshit
• 11:06
  was not. Venezuela was to do regime change and steal the oil period. They used narco
• 11:14
  terrorism and blowing up boats against us. Just like any government agency does. That is what
• 11:22
  they do in America. They sell the masses, the lines of bullshit. What are they stupid enough
• 11:28
  to believe? What are they watching now? What are they listening to now? And you know, the salesmen
• 11:34
  are the best, the used car salesmen are the guys up on top and the guys up on top are nothing but
• 11:41
  used car salesmen. They're always selling you something. Ilhan Omar, what is she selling?
• 11:47
  What's she selling? Propaganda. She's, I, I've never liked her. You know, it's like some people
• 11:53
  are instantly, it's not offensive, but it's close. People that are repulsive, repulsive people.
• 12:02
  I don't, I don't, I'm not listening to that. You know, and there's, there's, and I still do it.
• 12:07
  You see it. Sometimes you won't do it. I have family members who won't watch, uh, pick one.
• 12:12
  Um, I dunno, uh, Robert De Niro. Oh, he's a, he's offensive. He talks about why I try to separate.
• 12:18
  I tried to, what do I call it? Compartmentalization. I try to compartmentalize.
• 12:23
  Okay. And listen to what I like to listen to and, uh, and, and, and take, take things with a grain
• 12:30
  of salt. If I have a disagreement with somebody, I definitely want to hear it. That doesn't mean I
• 12:35
  instantly believe the explanation I'm hearing from the other side. And, uh, this is called
• 12:40
  critical thinking. And I believe it's missing in a lot of, a lot of, uh, instances, a lot of people.
• 12:47
  I've ran into some real rocks. You know, you'd be sitting there talking to him. Look,
• 12:52
  this guy isn't even a box of rocks. He's one rock. You know, we got one rock. You boys are
• 13:00
  jumping a bag of hammers. And, uh, uh, uh, uh, from, uh, Oh brother, where art thou movie
• 13:06
  quoter from way back. Anyway, I, my, my rant for this morning has probably gone on long enough.
• 13:14
  And I should, I should get to the point. I think I want to share with you this entire video that I
• 13:20
  watched. And I'd like to, uh, uh, uh, uh, preface it by saying, uh, that I don't know who this guy
• 13:28
  is. Um, I don't know what he said, but I did, I did go out and check and I will continue checking
• 13:35
  while we listen to his, his audio content. And it's about gold and it's, uh, uh, I've it's,
• 13:43
  it's in keeping with things that I've talked about, uh, many times before economic, uh,
• 13:51
  what do you call it? Economic we're, we're, we're coming apart. The old system world system
• 14:02
  dominated by the United States and the dollar is collapsing is too big a word, at least in my
• 14:11
  assessment, uh, collapsing is a, is too big of a word, but certainly fragmentation is occurring.
• 14:20
  There's all kinds of people running for alternative things and it's speeding up. Okay.
• 14:29
  It is speeding up. This effort began, I would say, and, and now I'm biased in my own personal way,
• 14:37
  but I began, I mean, I mean, I've always been anti-government. I think it's just anybody with
• 14:42
  any sort of brain in their head in the nineties watching what was going on with, with, with Bill
• 14:47
  Clinton and watching Bush and watching Bush one ambush to watching all of these idiots run the
• 14:53
  country into the ground and act in regime change and crazy foreign policy that does nothing positive
• 15:00
  for America. It doesn't focus on us at all, spending our money and becoming extremely wealthy
• 15:07
  in the process by sifting their part, just like every other Ukrainian corrupt government.
• 15:14
  That is the system, the world system. Okay. And whether it's obvious corruption like it is in
• 15:24
  Ukraine or whether it's done by the experts and the very best on the planet that give examples
• 15:31
  to the rest of the world, America through the military industrial complex and how it goes.
• 15:38
  They're talking now given a trillion and a plus dollars total to Ukraine to end this war.
• 15:46
  They're trying to see whether it's called the reparations package or whether they're going to
• 15:51
  call it the reconstruction package. They want to let them join the EU by 2027. That may be
• 16:00
  part of the settlement. And I, I, so this has been going on for so long, these idiotic talks
• 16:09
  and what they do, and I'm not sure it'll ever happen anyway, but the foreign minister Ukraine
• 16:13
  came out, watched the address last night. He's an idiot. And he said, he said, we're getting a
• 16:20
  trillion and a half dollars. And we hear that there's a deal coming in and the deal is going to
• 16:25
  be between, uh, they're going to be two different deals. There's no deal between Ukraine and Russia,
• 16:31
  no deal, no sale. What they saying it, what they are saying is that there's going to be two different
• 16:37
  deals, a deal where Ukraine signs off with America to be allowed to be part of the EC by a certain
• 16:45
  date, by a date, certain, whatever, whatever date that would be. They're trying, they're pushing
• 16:50
  for 2027 and there's going to be a separate deal, separate contract, separate, separate, uh, treaty
• 16:59
  with Russia and America to build certain things and do certain things and some kind of a global
• 17:05
  security with alleged peacekeeping or a buffer zone or something like that in between, uh, the,
• 17:13
  the Zaporizhia and, uh, uh, Kherson and, uh, maybe even Nikolaev and Odessa areas on the Black Sea.
• 17:22
  And, uh, so along that front line up to the Dnieper river, like I've been saying all along,
• 17:28
  and there's talks about all of that. Okay. Who knows what'll happen. These talks don't go any
• 17:35
  freaking where, but this is the first time they've actually met in the same room since the, uh,
• 17:43
  spring settlement of this entire deal. And, uh, the, the globalists of the world destroyed that
• 17:51
  deal and destroyed Ukraine in the process that deal was made. Russia stood up and said, nah,
• 17:58
  screw that. That is not what we agree to. And we're tired of the hegemon dictating what in the
• 18:05
  hell the world is going to do. And Russia is standing up for their very existence. They're
• 18:12
  hated. Why? Nobody knows. They are, uh, even their culture is destroyed and looked down upon
• 18:18
  their hockey players. Aren't accepted anywhere. Right? Normal Russian people can't get a visa to
• 18:26
  go somewhere. Why? Because we're punishing you because you, we don't like who you picked to run
• 18:32
  your country. What kind of world are we living in where we take normal, interesting, good people
• 18:40
  and treat them poorly because we have idiot leaders. We all have idiot leaders. We all have
• 18:47
  some form of corruption in our own governments. You can think America's the greatest country on
• 18:51
  the planet. I do. And many other people do. However, we have to identify and understand
• 18:57
  that there are huge problems, man. I really am on a roll this morning. I apologize for that.
• 19:02
  Cause I really wanted to show you, uh, tell, tell you about this history video that I watched
• 19:09
  among my Jim Carrey being Rocky Balboa, which came up to Adrian, you know, we got all that going on,
• 19:17
  but there was a very, how long is this video? 17 minutes. And I believe I should play most of it.
• 19:27
  The first, uh, 14 minutes. Let's see. And this guy, uh, is just a, um, an economist and he's,
• 19:37
  he's got 35,000 subscribers. And I went and I did a quick search of the topic that he was talking
• 19:49
  about, uh, which is Germany and German gold. Okay. Now I'm not a huge gold follower. I'm just
• 20:00
  not, I, I, I, I've other things going on in my life and, uh, I'm not, I'm a conspiracy
• 20:09
  acknowledger. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. You know what I mean? I don't, I don't live as a,
• 20:17
  I don't know in fear, you know, of, of whatever. I understand it. I try to prepare for it. I told
• 20:23
  you a couple of weeks ago, I might even buy some weapons because I think the world is collapsing.
• 20:29
  And that's a huge deal for me because I'm not a violent guy and I, and those are unsafe and I'm
• 20:34
  not sure I want to have them around and, and, and stuff like that. But, you know, I'm reconsidering
• 20:39
  that. I know how to use it was in the military. You know, I understand I can do it. I can do it
• 20:44
  professionally and do it. Well, I'm an expert with a 50 Cal, you know, 50 caliber machine gun,
• 20:50
  you know, it's, it's out of a helicopter, by the way, it was a lot of fun. And at any rate,
• 20:54
  there's a, there's just a lot of crap going on in the world. So listen to this video. The guy
• 21:03
  has a channel called the archivist. Okay. I tried to do some research on it and I found it to be
• 21:11
  extremely interesting. You take it for what it's worth. Okay. And we, I intend to play all or at
• 21:21
  least 15 minutes of it. Okay. And, and let us begin at the very beginning because I don't want
• 21:29
  to say it's scary, but if true, it's certainly something that people should be aware of.
• 21:36
  I've been talking about the fragmentation, like I said, of the hegemon system of the dollar system
• 21:45
  of the financial collapses with the swift system. The scams have been going for a very long time,
• 21:56
  very long time. And so I want to talk about this and you take it for what it's worth. Okay. I'm
• 22:07
  going to find the answer to my questions about whether this is totally true, but this just came
• 22:13
  out last night. I was watching it by the time I think it had been out for an hour or so when it
• 22:21
  came out and who knows. And I, and I'm checking still the sources on it, but if true, this is
• 22:29
  frightening. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, archivist here for 10 days, the warning signs
• 22:35
  were everywhere. If you knew where to look European banks, quietly dumping us treasuries,
• 22:39
  NATO fracturing over Arctic resources, as the Greenland dispute explodes critical undersea
• 22:44
  cables sabotaged in the Atlantic, each event isolated, maybe together a system under stress,
• 22:51
  but yesterday the stress reached the core of the global monetary order.
• 22:55
  The bond market wasn't the target. The dollar wasn't the target. Gold was. On Monday, January
• 23:01
  26th, 2026, a confidential encrypted communique was transmitted from the headquarters of the Deutsche
• 23:06
  Bundesbank in Frankfurt, directly to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The contents of this
• 23:11
  letter leaked to the German financial newspaper Handelsblatt and subsequently confirmed by high
• 23:16
  level sources within the Bundestag budget committee are nothing short of explosive.
• 23:19
  They represent a diplomatic bombshell that threatens to sever the financial trust that
• 23:24
  has underpinned the Western world since 1945. Germany is officially demanding the immediate
• 23:29
  and total repatriation of its remaining gold reserves held in United States custody.
• 23:34
  We are not talking about a small symbolic transfer of a few bars for a photo op. We are not talking
• 23:40
  about a gradual rebalancing over the next decade. We are talking about the removal of 1,236 tons
• 23:46
  of sovereign gold. To put that number into perspective, this represents approximately
• 23:50
  37% of Germany's total national wealth in gold, valued at today's soaring spot prices at nearly
• 23:57
  $194 billion. The letter reportedly sets a strict non-negotiable timeline. The Bundesbank expects
• 24:04
  the physical metal to be transported, verified, and secured in Frankfurt vaults by December 31st,
• 24:09
  2026. To understand the sheer gravity of this demand, you must understand the history that
• 24:14
  led us here. During the height of the Cold War, West Germany lived under the constant existential
• 24:19
  threat of a Soviet invasion. The Fulda Gap was the likely invasion route, and Frankfurt was just
• 24:24
  miles from the front lines. It was a strategic necessity to store the nation's wealth far away
• 24:29
  from the tanks of the Red Army. So Germany moved its gold west to London, to Paris, and most
• 24:35
  importantly, to the unbreakable fortress of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan.
• 24:39
  For decades, this arrangement was a symbol of the unbreakable bond between Washington and Bonn,
• 24:43
  and later Berlin. It was a testament to the fact that American power guaranteed German survival.
• 24:49
  But the Cold War is long over. The Soviet Union is dust, and the relationship between the United
• 24:54
  States and Germany has curdled into mutual suspicion and economic warfare. Between 2013
• 24:59
  and 2017, in a massive logistical operation that was followed closely by the gold community,
• 25:05
  the Bundesbank successfully repatriated 674 tons of gold from Paris and New York. At the time,
• 25:11
  they declared the operation complete. They publicly stated that they would leave the
• 25:15
  remaining 1,236 tons in New York intentionally. Their official rationale was that this gold was
• 25:22
  necessary to facilitate foreign exchange operations. In plain English, they argued that
• 25:27
  if the Euro ever collapsed, or Germany needed urgent liquidity, having gold in New York allowed
• 25:31
  them to swap it instantly for U.S. dollars to defend their currency. It was an insurance policy.
• 25:36
  So why demand it back now? Why break the glass on the emergency alarm in January 2026?
• 25:42
  The official reason given by German lawmakers, driven by a coalition of budget hawks,
• 25:46
  the surging opposition parties like the AFD and BSW, and increasingly vocal mainstream economists,
• 25:52
  is counterparty risk. This is a polite banking term for, we don't trust you anymore.

  Michael Yeager, the president of the Taxpayers Association of Europe,
• 26:00
  publicly stated in an interview that sent shockwaves through Brussels,
• 26:03
  Trump is unpredictable, and he does everything to generate revenue. That's why our gold is
• 26:08
  no longer safe in the Fed's vaults. What happens if the Greenland provocation continues?
• 26:12
  The risk is increasing that the German Bundesbank will no longer be able to access its gold.
• 26:16
  Therefore, it should repatriate its reserves. This is not the fringe ranting of a conspiracy
• 26:21
  theorist. This is a leading voice in European finance articulating a fear that is now pervasive
• 26:27
  in the halls of power in Berlin. The United States is no longer a partner. It is a predator.
• 26:32
  Emmanuel Munk, a former head of research at the Bundesbank, echoed this sentiment,
• 26:36
  telling the press, given the current geopolitical situation, it seems risky to store so much gold
• 26:42
  in the US. In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would
• 26:46
  therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold. This is a sovereign bank run. In a
• 26:52
  normal bank run, individual depositors line up outside a branch because they fear the bank is
• 26:57
  insolvent. In a sovereign bank run, nations line up to withdraw their collateral because they fear
• 27:02
  the hegemon is rogue. Germany represents the smart money of Europe. If they are pulling their
• 27:07
  funds, it signals to every other central bank, from Rome to Tokyo to Riyadh, that the window
• 27:11
  to exit is closing. If the Federal Reserve refuses the request or delays it with bureaucratic
• 27:16
  excuses about logistics, it confirms the darkest fear of the market. The gold is gone. If the
• 27:24
  Federal Reserve agrees, it drains the New York vault of nearly 20% of its total holdings in less
• 27:28
  than a year. This creates a massive physical shortage in the very hub that prices the world's
• 27:32
  gold. The Berlin demand is the moment the West admits that the era of trust is definitively
• 27:38
  over. The handshake deals of the 20th century have been replaced by the verify and take possession,
• 27:44
  paranoid realism of the 21st. Germany is taking its ball and going home, and the game cannot
• 27:49
  continue without them. The immediate question sweeping through the precious metals market,
• 27:54
  from the trading desks in Singapore to the refineries in Switzerland, is simple but
• 27:58
  terrifying. Does the gold even exist? This is not a conspiracy theory pulled from the depths of the
• 28:04
  internet. It is a legitimate question of encumbrance and financial plumbing. The Federal Reserve Bank
• 28:09
  of New York's vault, located 80 feet below street level at 33 Liberty Street, sits on the bedrock
• 28:14
  of Manhattan. It is arguably the most secure facility on the planet, but the Fed does not
• 28:20
  own the gold stored there. It merely acts as a custodian for foreign nations and international
• 28:24
  organizations. The bars sitting in those cages belong to Germany, Italy, the IMF, and others.
• 28:30
  However, in the opaque, unregulated, and highly leveraged world of central banking and bullion
• 28:34
  trading, gold is rarely allowed to sit idle. Idle gold pays no interest. It costs money to store.
• 28:41
  To solve this problem, central banks often engage in gold leasing. They lend their gold to bullion
• 28:46
  banks, almost the giants like JP Morgan, HSBC, and Scotiabank, in exchange for a small interest
• 28:51
  rate, the gold lease rate. The bullion banks then take that physical gold and sell it into the
• 28:55
  market. Why? To suppress the price, to raise cash for other investments, or to hedge their
• 29:00
  massive derivative positions. The physical bar leaves the vault. It gets melted down. It gets
• 29:06
  shipped to China or India and turned into jewelry or coins. But on the books of the central bank,
• 29:11
  the gold is still listed as an asset. It is owed to them by the bullion bank.
• 29:16
  This creates a situation of rehypothecation. It means that multiple parties believe they own
• 29:20
  the exact same amounts of gold. One, Germany thinks it owns the gold sitting in the Fed vault
• 29:25
  because their ledger says so. Two, the bullion bank thinks it borrowed the gold and has a
• 29:31
  liability to return it one day. Three, the Chinese investor who bought the physical bar from the
• 29:35
  bullion bank actually holds the metal in Shanghai. Now, apply this mechanics to the Berlin demand.
• 29:41
  If Germany demands 1,236 tons of physical metal immediately, the Federal Reserve and its partner
• 29:47
  bullion banks have a catastrophic mathematical problem. If that gold has been leased out,
• 29:52
  and forensic analysts estimate that a significant portion of official reserves are indeed encumbered
• 29:56
  in this way, the metal is not in the vault. To fulfill Germany's order, the Fed, or the
• 30:04
  buy it back. They have to source 1,236 tons of physical gold in a market that is already in
• 30:10
  a structural deficit. Buying back 1,200 tons of gold is not like buying 1,200 shares of Apple.
• 30:17
  The liquidity does not exist. Attempting to source that amount of physical metal
• 30:21
  would send the spot price to $5,000, $7,000, or even $10,000 an ounce overnight.
• 30:27
  It would trigger a commercial short squeeze of biblical proportions.
• 30:30
  The bullion banks, who are short the metal because they sold the least gold,
• 30:34
  would face infinite losses. They would be bankrupt instantly. This is exactly why
• 30:39
  the timeline is so critical. Germany gave them 11 months until December 31, 2026.
• 30:44
  In the previous repatriation exercise, 2013-2017, the Federal Reserve initially claimed it would
• 30:49
  take seven years to return just 300 tons. In the end, it took four years. Why did it
• 30:54
  take so long to move 300 tons? You can move that much metal on a few cargo planes in a week.
• 30:59
  Rumors swirled at the time that the Fed didn't have the original German bars.
• 31:04
  The bars Germany received were not the same serial numbers they deposited in the 1950s and 60s.
• 31:09
  Many were newly cast bars with fresh time stamps. This implies the Fed, or its proxies,
• 31:14
  had to scramble to refine new gold to pay Germany back. They had to rob Peter to pay Paul.
• 31:20
  Now the demand is four times larger, 1,236 tons versus 300 tons. And the timeline is four times
• 31:27
  shorter, one year versus four years. The math does not work. The market knows the Fed cannot
• 31:32
  deliver without destroying the price discovery mechanism of the Comex. This creates a force
• 31:37
  majeure risk. If the Fed declares it cannot ship the gold due to logistical challenges,
• 31:42
  security concerns, or geopolitical instability, it is effectively a default. It is an admission
• 31:48
  that the gold is gone. It confirms that the U.S. dollar is no longer backed by the rule of law
• 31:53
  or the sanctity of contracts. It confirms that the gold in New York is paper gold,
• 31:57
  a financial fiction, while physical gold has fled to the east. This realization is why the gold
• 32:03
  price is currently disconnecting from the dollar and from real rates. The market is beginning to
• 32:08
  price in the delivery failure. The premium for physical coins is exploding because the smart
• 32:13
  money knows that when Germany knocks on the door, the vault might be empty. Why is Germany doing
• 32:18
  this now? Why, after decades of passivity and deference to Washington, has Berlin decided to
• 32:23
  pull the trigger? The answer lies in the trauma of the Russia precedent. In February 2022, following
• 32:29
  the invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the UK, and the EU took an unprecedented step.
• 32:35
  They froze $300 billion of the Central Bank of Russia's foreign exchange reserves.
• 32:39
  These were sovereign assets. Under international law and centuries of custom,
• 32:43
  central bank reserves were considered sacrosanct. They were immune from seizure, even in war.
• 32:48
  The U.S. shattered that norm. They weaponized the reserve currency system.
• 32:52
  While the West celebrated this as a tool to punish Putin, the rest of the world watched in horror.
• 32:57
  Central bankers in Beijing, Riyadh, Brasilia, and yes, Berlin, learned a terrifying lesson.
• 33:03
  If you do not hold it, you do not own it. Sovereign immunity does not exist if you cross Washington.
• 33:09
  Your assets are only yours if the U.S. president agrees with your foreign policy.
• 33:12
  German economists and policy makers have been watching the recent escalation over
• 33:16
  the Greenland ultimatum and the looming tariff war with growing terror.
• 33:20
  President Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on countries that do not align with U.S. policy
• 33:25
  against China has spooked the German industrial base. Germany is an export superpower. Its economy
• 33:30
  relies on trade. Crucially, major German corporations like Volkswagen, BASF, and Siemens
• 33:36
  rely on China for up to 40% of their global profits. Germany cannot afford to decouple from
• 33:41
  China. It would mean de-industrialization and economic depression. But the U.S. is demanding
• 33:46
  exactly that. The U.S. is forcing Germany to choose. Are you with us or are you with Beijing?
• 33:52
  If Germany chooses to maintain its trade ties with China or even tries to stay neutral,
• 33:57
  what happens? Does the U.S. declare Germany a currency manipulator? Does the U.S. sanction
• 34:02
  German companies? And most terrifyingly, what happens to the $194 billion of German gold
• 34:07
  sitting in the basement of the New York Fed? Could the U.S. freeze German gold just like they
• 34:12
  froze Russian cash? Could they hold it hostage to force Berlin to comply with sanctions on China?
• 34:17
  Before 2022, this idea was insane. It was unthinkable between NATO allies.
• 34:22
  Today, in 2026, it is a legitimate high-probability risk management scenario.
• 34:27
  The Greenland provocation, where the U.S. threatened tariffs on European goods to force
• 34:32
  the sale of Danish territory, was the final straw. It proved that the U.S. views its allies
• 34:36
  as vassal states to be bullied. Emanuel Munch's statement to Handelsblatt was explicit.
• 34:42
  Given the current geopolitical situation, it seems risky to store so much gold in the U.S.
• 34:47
  The risk is increasing that the Bundesbank will no longer be able to access its gold.
• 34:51
  The German demand is a defensive move. It is a survival mechanism. They are sanction-proofing
• 34:56
  their economy. By moving the gold to Frankfurt, they ensure that no matter what diplomatic war
• 35:01
  erupts over trade, tariffs, or NATO funding, their ultimate collateral is within their
• 35:05
  jurisdiction. They can use it to settle trade with China, India, or Russia without U.S. permission.
• 35:11
  It is also a signal to the future of the euro. The eurozone is quietly preparing for a post-dollar
• 35:16
  world. The European Central Bank, ECB, has been encouraging member states to increase gold
• 35:21
  reserves. Poland has been buying aggressively, and the Dutch and Hungarians have repatriated.
• 35:26
  If the euro is to survive a dollar collapse or a global debt reset, it needs a golden anchor.
• 35:31
  It needs to be backed by something real. Germany's 3,350 tons of gold are that anchor.
• 35:38
  It is the ballast of the European project. But an anchor is useless if it is stored in the
• 35:42
  captain's quarters of a rival ship. You cannot stabilize your currency with gold you cannot touch.
• 35:47
  The repatriation is the physical decoupling of the euro from the dollar. It is the declaration
• 35:52
  of European monetary independence. It is the end of the transatlantic trust that built the
• 35:57
  order. Germany is preparing to go it alone. The Berlin demand is the final warning bell for every
• 36:03
  individual investor on the planet. If the German government, with all its diplomatic channels,
• 36:08
  its intelligence agencies, and its special relationship with the U.S., does not trust
• 36:13
  the Federal Reserve to hold its wealth, why should you? If a G7 nation, a NATO pillar,
• 36:18
  is worried about confiscation and counterparty risk, you should be absolutely terrified.
• 36:23
  Germany is telling you that the banking system is not safe. They are telling you that paper
• 36:27
  claims are worthless in a crisis. So how do you position yourself for a sovereign bank run on gold?
• 36:32
  How do you protect your wealth when the giants are fighting over the scraps?
• 36:36
  You follow the Archivist Protocol. Protocol. Rule 1. Be your own central bank. You must
• 36:42
  hold physical gold in your immediate possession. Do not rely on ETFs like GLD or IAU.
• 36:48
  These are financial products. They are paper claims on gold stored in the same vaults,
• 36:54
  HSBC London, JP Morgan NY, that Germany is trying to escape. If the Fed declares force
• 36:59
  majeure on Germany, do you think they will honor the claim of a retail ETF investor?
• 37:04
  Absolutely not. The ETFs will be frozen. Or more likely, they will be cash settled.
• 37:09
  They will pay you out in devalued dollars at a manipulated price.
• 37:18
  And what I did is, well, first of all, I listened to it myself. Second,
• 37:26
  I went and did some, a little bit of searches on the internet to find other information. Third,
• 37:33
  I called somebody who follows this stuff much more than I do. And I'm interested in discussing
• 37:44
  this with other people. And looking at, I don't have any gold. I wish I did. Having a gold bar in
• 37:53
  the basement would be a good thing right now. Having a gold bar hanging out for the ultimate
• 37:59
  collapse could be a big deal. And so basically, one of the things that I use AI for, and you can't
• 38:10
  trust AI either, because AI, depending on where you get it, is biased one way or another. Why are
• 38:18
  all countries trying to be at the top of AI? Because they wish to control the truth. And the
• 38:26
  truth is the narrative that comes out. So even when you do some of this, you still must have your own
• 38:33
  critical thinking. I'm creating a platform, well, not just me, there's a group of us,
• 38:40
  and creating several platforms. The modern law ecosystem and civic warriors. We are government
• 38:50
  overreach warriors, and we are starting that process. And part of it is collecting information
• 38:59
  through sunshine requests, freedom of information requests, lawsuits, whatever is necessary.
• 39:05
  And analyzing these things and creating reports, kind of like lobbyists, that's
• 39:14
  kind of where we are going. And it is the most fun I've had in a project in my life. This is
• 39:24
  interesting stuff, and I would like people to get involved. And we'll talk about that another time.
• 39:31
  Today, our thing is talking about this video that I watched on the gold. And I asked AI
• 39:38
  to review this. Now, I have quite a few different AI platforms, and I'm creating
• 39:43
  our own platform for analyzing AI analysis, okay? Because I think that's important too.
• 39:52
  Because I don't trust anything. The government, screw that. You're an idiot if you trust them.
• 39:58
  And you need to trust, but verify, you know. Doverai, no proverai is how you say it in Russian.
• 40:05
  Just remember that from Reagan, when he got up on the platform, and he goes, Doverai, no proverai.
• 40:11
  And that was a lot of fun. And Americans never roll their Rs when they speak Russian,
• 40:17
  and you're supposed to roll them. Doverai, no proverai. And there's kind of a clicking
• 40:21
  of the tongue that goes on there. And I don't do it right. You know, I'm American. It's funny.
• 40:26
  You speak to women, oh, you have such a cute American accent. And then you have people,
• 40:31
  I had people claim that I had a fake American accent. They say, oh, your Russian's too good.
• 40:35
  You're not an American. And you just created that accent, kind of like we would have a
• 40:40
  southern girl yelling from around here, are you? Or you go up to Chicago, and you and guys are
• 40:46
  used guys. Yeah, used guys. You know, there's all kinds of ways to fake your accent. Anyway,
• 40:53
  that is not the point of today's show. But you can't always trust your AI. So you've got to
• 40:58
  assess where you get your information, okay? And except for me, for me, you're always getting the
• 41:06
  raw Samuel, okay? Because that's all there is, is a raw Samuel. And I am who I am. I'm Popeye the
• 41:13
  sailor man. So what I did was I said, look, to the AI gods out there, and I did it in a couple
• 41:21
  of different platforms, said, listen, and what they've come up with is this. This assessment
• 41:28
  is a classic truth sandwich. It uses quite a few real checkable facts as the launch pad,
• 41:35
  and then leaps into a big dramatic conclusion that may be unsupported or internally confused.
• 41:43
  The net is this is mostly fear-mongering marketing copy, not sober analysis. Well,
• 41:49
  yeah, but who's saying that? You know, is this Google telling me that, oh, geez,
• 41:56
  don't worry about us. You know, don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.
• 42:00
  None of us trust a damn thing anymore. And if you do, you're nuts. If you think the system
• 42:07
  is out there to protect you, you better think again, and you better hedge your bet. That's
• 42:14
  everybody else's doing. You know, they're hedging their bets. They're making sure they got guns in
• 42:19
  the basement. They're making sure they've hidden a bar of gold somewhere for themselves for the
• 42:23
  ultimate collapse. You know, maybe we've all gone, there's too many conspiracy and, what do you call
• 42:28
  it, zombie movies out there, too many walking dead. So anyway, that was the first analysis.
• 42:35
  And so Germany's action, the core claim, there are, and I checked a couple of sources, I don't
• 42:41
  see any factual basis to the actual root claim that Germany has demanded the repatriation of
• 42:52
  their gold. The text says that a real Bundesbank demand, an encrypted communique, a leaked letter,
• 43:00
  a hard deadline of December 31, I haven't been able to verify that anywhere because reputable
• 43:07
  reporting and official statements don't show it. Does that mean it doesn't exist? Why would they
• 43:13
  show it if the result would be people all running to buy bars of gold or putting weapons in their
• 43:21
  basement? What is verifiable is the rising public debate on this topic in Germany. The 1,236 tons
• 43:31
  is true, okay? Economists and taxpayer groups urging repatriation. Politicians arguing about
• 43:39
  risk. Bundesbank and finance ministry publicly say there is no cause for concern. And the New York
• 43:46
  Fed is a trusted storage location. Yeah, right. Germany is talking about it. That's true.
• 43:52
  Germany has demanded immediate total repatriation on a deadline isn't substantiated by any credible
• 44:00
  source, but Germany's definitely talking about it. I also wanted to know about this 2013 to 2017
• 44:07
  repatriation and the math part, okay? This part is real and the numbers mostly check out. The
• 44:14
  Bundesbank announced a storage plan to increase its own domestic holdings by 2020 and they asked
• 44:22
  in 2013. They completed the transfers ahead of schedule by 2017. 300 tons from New York,
• 44:33
  374 tons from Paris, 674 tons total, okay? And they received all that money back and are
• 44:42
  storing it at Bundesbank. So after completion, the Bundesbank itself says it stores in Frankfurt
• 44:49
  1,710 tons or 50.6% of its reserves. New York has 1,236 tons, 36% of its reserves.
• 45:00
  London has 432 tons of German gold, 12.8%. The total amount that they have
• 45:09
  in their own assets is 3,378 tons of gold, okay? So the 1,236 tons held in New York is essentially
• 45:19
  right, okay? And so it's a rounded number. Let's talk about this federal vault drain for a second.
• 45:28
  20% of the holdings claim is basically correct also, but it really isn't a smoking gun,
• 45:35
  according to the AI gods. The New York Fed's own materials say the vault held
• 45:43
  6,331 metric tons, 507,000 bars as of 2024. Germany's 1,236 tons is 19.5% of that amount.
• 45:58
  Where the document starts cheating is they want this back overnight. Repatriation isn't really
• 46:06
  open market purchase. It's custody. You move your bars from one vault to another. Liquidity only
• 46:14
  matters if you assume the bars aren't there and somebody has to source replacement on the open
• 46:22
  market. Now, how many of us believe that the bars are actually there?
• 46:30
  I don't know. It's a pretty strong allegation to say that the bars aren't there,
• 46:37
  but it's been how many years since World War II? How many people were there and why would it take
• 46:46
  you four years even to deliver the gold back? Is it true that they didn't receive back the same
• 46:56
  gold that they put in? I suppose it wouldn't matter, but if that didn't matter, why in the
• 47:02
  world do they serial number a bar of gold? Why serial number it if it's not yours? Now, the rest
• 47:09
  of the article that I listened to was if you buy a bar of gold, you can have something that's called
• 47:13
  allocated gold or non-allocated gold. I'm not an expert on this. I don't care to be, really.
• 47:21
  If you buy a bar of gold, keep it in your basement. Put it somewhere where it's yours
• 47:27
  is what the ultimate is in this. The guy was pumping you to buy gold at the end of the video.
• 47:33
  However, I wasn't worried about that. I'm worried about whether this stuff is true.
• 47:37
  I can't go out and buy bars of gold anyway. I might be able to get a couple, but maybe one.
• 47:47
  I'd be buying little shavings of gold. I'd be the guy, but I tell you what, I wish there was a gold
• 47:53
  rush. If Greenland is full of gold or if Venezuela is full of gold, why aren't we in Venezuela?
• 48:01
  The allegation that the Americans seized that first ship that was Russian up by,
• 48:08
  it was west of England at the time, and they took that ship, there was a lot of speculation
• 48:12
  that that ship was full of gold headed for Moscow, and that's why it was taken.
• 48:20
  I don't know the truth of that. I haven't been able to find out, but tell me.
• 48:24
  When people are silent on this stuff and they don't talk about it, it's because there's something
• 48:30
  there. It's because they don't want to talk about it. They will distract you with whatever else,
• 48:39
  just get it off the topic. The stuff you get on the news is stuff that is to keep you occupied
• 48:45
  while the real bullshit is going on behind the scenes. It's a pretty strong allegation.
• 48:52
  The Fed taking seven years to return 300 tons is a bit misleading too. The Bundesbank's plan
• 48:58
  targeted 2020, a multi-year horizon, and the Bundesbank emphasized that they finished it three
• 49:05
  years early. So the seven years is not a verifiable confession. It could be a distorted statement of
• 49:12
  what he says. The new bars and not the same bars is one of those claims that sounds bad,
• 49:19
  but it's kind of difficult to prove. The Bundesbank publishes a bar list and describes bar
• 49:25
  identification by numbers, melt numbers, and it states that it checks the authenticity,
• 49:31
  purity, weight of the gold on arrival. Bars can legitimately change identity if metal is recast
• 49:39
  or refined to standardized bar formats or improve what's called good delivery compliance, but it's
• 49:47
  not inherent evidence of missing gold. If you wanted to prove fraud, you'd need primary
• 49:53
  documentation showing that Germany demanded the return of a specific bar number and got different
• 50:01
  bar numbers without documented title transfer plus evidence of an accounting mismatch or a
• 50:09
  weight difference or, hey, they shaved off a sliver off of each bar. The document,
• 50:17
  you know, the analysis, the documentary evidence that this guy had was very, very minimal,
• 50:25
  didn't exist. It could be just rumors. Okay. Let's talk about where he was talking about
• 50:33
  gold leasing and rehypothecation of the same bar. There's, again, a kernel of truth, but who knows
• 50:40
  whether it's real or not. I'll leave this to figure out on your own. But it's interesting. Gold lending
• 50:45
  and unallocated accounts are real market plumbing. The LBMA, London Markets, explains allocated
• 50:52
  versus unallocated metal accounts and the mechanics of lending and borrowing against them.
• 50:58
  Unallocated balances are effective credit exposure of the institution. Allocated bars
• 51:07
  are specific bars, your bar. The Bundesbank historically lent small portions of gold
• 51:17
  LBMA material described in the 1990s, is when they were trying to differentiate. Here it is.
• 51:26
  But the key point, if a central bank lends gold and it's sold, the central bank doesn't still
• 51:32
  own the same bar of gold. It has a claim for the return of an equivalent bar, some kind of a
• 51:40
  receivable. Okay. Paper money. That's the scary part, is suddenly you don't have an actual asset.
• 51:47
  You just got a piece of paper saying you have it on an asset. One of the things that I find
• 51:53
  quite interesting, especially because of the Russia analysis and the freezing of sovereign
• 52:00
  money, which never happened before. It doesn't happen. It's never happened even in war times.
• 52:10
  Governments don't steal each other's money.
• 52:15
  Our governments, the Western-dominated, hegemon, globalist a-holes, from our side, trying to run
• 52:24
  the planet on their own image, create a planet in their own image and control everything,
• 52:33
  seized 300 billion plus of Russian assets. They're stealing Russian-flagged ships.
• 52:43
  Why? Because we're more powerful. We, well, here I go with the we's again. The America,
• 52:52
  you know, the West controls the system. The fact that people are bailing on the system
• 52:58
  is frightening. Okay. It is frightening. And by the way, it's definitely true. And it definitely
• 53:08
  makes sense. For Germany's gold to be gone because of leasing or sales of these gold
• 53:19
  speculators, that would need to be an instruction title transfer out as Germany's custody account.
• 53:27
  But they do make loans on it, just like they make loans on everything else. So the Fed is
• 53:31
  holding the shit pot of everybody else's stuff. And they're making loans on everybody else's stuff,
• 53:36
  guaranteed by stuff that they're holding. But the other people have a receivable against them.
• 53:41
  So all of this paper money is based on the same gold. It makes sense that you might have several
• 53:46
  different people making a claim to the same asset. So if you have a total debt amount promised on
• 53:53
  the same, say you got in your own bank, they call it liquidity. And banks are checked on this stuff
• 54:00
  all the time. And the banks, why do we have runs on banks? We have runs on banks because people
• 54:07
  are afraid that their money might not be in the bank. Because it's not in the bank. You know,
• 54:14
  it's explained best by George in, what do you call it? Oh, every time a bell rings,
• 54:24
  an angel gets his wings, whatever that thing is, a Christmas show. Anyway, George Bailey,
• 54:29
  and he explains it. He goes, wait a minute, Fred, I don't have your money here. It's been loaned out
• 54:36
  to his house and this guy's house. He's explaining simple economics when they had the run on the
• 54:42
  bank at his little savings and loan, right? Had to be guaranteed by somebody else. Well,
• 54:50
  that makes sense, okay? If all the governments on the planet, and this is true, all the governments
• 54:57
  on the planet are now repatriating their gold. That is reality. There are people hoarding gold
• 55:06
  and collecting it from everywhere. People are bailing on American debt. We've talked about
• 55:12
  that a long time. Our country is insolvent. The entire country of America is insolvent.
• 55:22
  You may not be, but as a whole, America is, okay? We have hitched our wagon to our children
• 55:32
  for the next several, quite a few generations, maybe for good. And so there could be some,
• 55:40
  and I don't know, I'm not one of these fear monger people. We can't change any of this crap anyway.
• 55:46
  And that's the point. You can't change it. All you can do is act in your own best interests.
• 55:53
  And that's it. You can do it. So if the statement about the Fed can't deliver force majeure or
• 56:10
  somewhat beyond our control, it's usually a treaty or contract term.
• 56:15
  Force majeure is a French term, and in Russian, guess what it's called? Force majeure.
• 56:22
  That's your Russian interpretation for today. Force majeure is what it is. Force
• 56:28
  majeure situations. And Fed can't deliver force majeure confiscation. The general lesson that
• 56:34
  assets held abroad could be immobilized. This is real. Russian reserves frozen after 2022
• 56:43
  on the order of roughly 300 billion. And the U.S. president has broad powers to block and freeze
• 56:50
  if there's a national emergency that is declared. But jumping from these tools exist because they do
• 56:58
  to the high probability plan to block German gold, that's speculation. It's a pitch. It's,
• 57:05
  you know, hey, buy my gold product here. Germany really did in 2013 to 2017 repatriate 674 tons.
• 57:17
  And it really does, there really is allegedly still approximately 1,236 tons in New York.
• 57:26
  The New York federal vault really does exist. And it holds approximately as of 2024,
• 57:34
  6,331 tons of gold in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 507,000 gold bars, 6,331 metric tons.
• 57:49
  There's a current German political economic debate about whether storing that gold in New York is
• 57:55
  wise under the today's geopolitics. I say it's not. There's plenty of calls for them to bring
• 58:02
  it back. And why wouldn't they? In all seriousness, why wouldn't they? If your part, if all of,
• 58:15
  because it's other things that make you less trusting of systems. It's things like,
• 58:24
  they took Russia's money. Wouldn't it be best if we held our own money? Why in the world do we
• 58:29
  trust in A-holes that we don't want to, we might not want to deal with? I mean, look what they got
• 58:34
  for the next three years, according to Bundesbank and to Germany. We got some lunatic over there
• 58:40
  running America. Now they're starting, you know, the knives are out. People are,
• 58:48
  knives are out on Trump right now. Not that they haven't always been,
• 58:51
  but they're 10 times more vocal and people are starting to listen more because of what he has
• 58:57
  done that has allowed that questioning to be, well, this is just like it is under every other
• 59:05
  president. This is no longer the shining city on the hill, which is the same thing that becomes
• 59:11
  obvious with virtually every president ever elected, at least in my lifetime. They get in
• 59:18
  there and there's all this excitement after the first part of the year. Well, people come first
• 59:23
  year, calm down. And then it's just business as usual. We're in the business as usual phase.
• 59:29
  And we know what business as usual now means. We've seen enough of Trump this term for the last
• 59:37
  year to know what is really going on. Power, power, power. It's world globally and nationally.
• 59:48
  We show power globally. We, you know, imprison. What have you heard about Maduro recently?
• 59:55
  Not a damn thing. In a few months, they'll release him and his wife quietly to some island somewhere
• 1:00:01
  and then kill him off a few years later. And they'll live well on some money somewhere else
• 1:00:08
  and the change has already happened. That's how regime change works. And the CIA will go out and
• 1:00:14
  kill him and that's how it works. It's disgusting, but that's how it works. And so, if you haven't
• 1:00:21
  heard a damn thing about that, if we go seize Greenland, you'll have a small period of, well,
• 1:00:26
  yeah, that was great. Or you'll have other people going, well, that was crap. And then
• 1:00:30
  a year later, it'll calm down and there'll be another crisis to talk about, another Maduro
• 1:00:34
  to go take. And they have plenty of those Maduro scenarios right now. You know, we're threatening
• 1:00:41
  doing the same in Iran and Greenland and, you know, pick them. You know, it's power is the play
• 1:00:49
  right now, period. And it's the same as every other presidency and it'll go back a different
• 1:00:54
  way when a different president is in because that's how America works. Okay. Let's see.
• 1:01:03
  Berlin's demand letter. Let's talk about that. The hard deadline, that is no real sourcing.
• 1:01:11
  Haven't found it. I found a story. Well, the real metal becomes unattainable.
• 1:01:14
  I clicked the guy again. I found a story in the, what is this called? This is the Guardian
• 1:01:21
  written not too long ago, January the 24th by somebody named, where is she? Kate Connolly
• 1:01:33
  from Berlin, in Berlin, that Germany is facing calls to withdraw its billions of euros worth
• 1:01:41
  of gold from us vaults spurred on by the shift in transatlantic relations and the unpredictability
• 1:01:50
  of Donald Trump. Guy named Emmanuel Munch, a leading economist and former head of research
• 1:01:58
  at the German federal bank Bundesbank called for the gold to be brought home saying it was far too
• 1:02:04
  risky for it to be kept in the US, especially under the current administration. Given the current
• 1:02:11
  geopolitical situation, he said, it seems risky to store so much gold in the US. In the interest
• 1:02:21
  of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to
• 1:02:28
  consider repatriating its gold. Stephen Cornelius, the spokesman for Friedrich Merz's coalition
• 1:02:35
  government said recently that withdrawal of the gold reserves was not currently under
• 1:02:43
  consideration. But Munch is only the latest in a string of economists and financial experts to
• 1:02:51
  argue that the move would be in keeping with the greater strategic independence that Europe's
• 1:02:57
  largest economy has been seeking from the US in recent months. And we have a caller on the line.
• 1:03:12
  And caller, are you with me? Yes, Sam. Good morning. Guten Morgen. That's German for good
• 1:03:20
  morning. Dobro jutro. Dobro jutro is Russian for good morning.
• 1:03:25
  Means how are things? Is everything normal?
• 1:03:31
  Okay. Well, you, aren't you one of those people who is a
• 1:03:47
  conspiracy gold theorist? I heard, I can't verify the sources, but I heard that you have some
• 1:03:55
  $800,000 worth of gold that you are hoarding in a shoebox underneath your bed. Is that?
• 1:04:03
  Oh, listen, nevermind the details. There's no reason to trust and verify.
• 1:04:09
  Just shoot off the hip or out the mouth. That's right. Just make, we're making,
• 1:04:14
  oh, he's making it up as he goes along. Yeah. Yeah. No, no reason to verify anything.
• 1:04:21
  That's right. You can rattle on about whatever. Just claim it. Just claim it. And therefore it's
• 1:04:26
  true. I said it. Therefore it must be true. You've heard the adage, the more you say it,
• 1:04:34
  it becomes true. The more people will believe it, right? Build it and they will come. So by now it's
• 1:04:42
  clarified. Did you listen to the little audio clip that I played from that guy on the channel
• 1:04:50
  called the archivist? Oh yeah, absolutely. So you've been listening to me this morning. Yeah.
• 1:04:56
  Yes. And Eric Lee, I'm well acquainted with that video as well. Cool. I would take you back
• 1:05:05
  citing a few real resources, right? Few real sources. So are these guys not real?
• 1:05:12
  Uh, yeah, that, that's a good one to listen to. Or are they selling, just selling something or
• 1:05:17
  are they just selling something? Oh, that's a very good point. I'm selling something. I suppose
• 1:05:25
  you're selling something. You got me there. At the very least you're selling your opinion.
• 1:05:31
  Look, you're a genius. Oh, aren't I though? And well, especially if you can steal 800,000
• 1:05:37
  worth of gold and keep it in a shoe box under your bed. Well, first of all, if you calculate
• 1:05:43
  back in the day when I was accused of this heinous crime, uh, 800,000 amounted to about 20 pounds.
• 1:05:51
  And I mean, even lugging that around, that's no easy task. 20 pounds of gold is 800,000. What
• 1:05:58
  would it be now? Well, not nowadays, not nowadays. Now it'd be 100,000, wouldn't it?
• 1:06:04
  Well, actually what I'd say... I mean a million. Now it'd be a million, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:06:09
  Closer too. However, you know, let's keep in mind a couple of things. First of all,
• 1:06:15
  first of all, I want to clarify. Okay. I'm not so much a gold conspiracy theorist, okay?
• 1:06:22
  I, I liked, just like you, I like to research all my facts and it's not really gold. Okay.
• 1:06:31
  Gold is monetary asset. All of the, a lot of the things that you're, that you're saying are true.
• 1:06:36
  And I actually do believe that these sovereign countries, we already know this, Germany being
• 1:06:41
  one of them, is hell bent on repatriating their assets. And for good reason. Well, it makes sense.
• 1:06:49
  I mean, well, if you would do it, a government would, a smart government would do the same thing.
• 1:06:54
  Right. And it's not so much about, I would say I myself, I'm, I'm, I'm more of a silver stacker.
• 1:07:02
  First off, there's a big revelation. Silver stacker, because silver to me is more useful
• 1:07:09
  than gold. And quicker and cheaper and smaller. Right. I don't even have a, and not only that,
• 1:07:15
  but it's commonly in circulation. That's right. More accessible. Yeah. It's more readily available.
• 1:07:21
  Um, but being a prepper. Okay. That's more like what I am. That's true. The,
• 1:07:28
  the apocalyptic prepper. That's true. That's just one of the many tools. How many weapons
• 1:07:33
  do you guys have under your, your, your bed? Oh, absolutely none. Of course. Really? Nothing.
• 1:07:39
  You guys don't have weapons and a AK 47s hidden out in the shed somewhere in a bunker bill.
• 1:07:46
  Nothing. You live in Idaho. I know nothing. We have, you know, all people in Idaho have bunkers
• 1:07:53
  in, uh, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm sure that people do, but they're coming. We have no gold,
• 1:08:00
  no silver, nothing to see here. No malicious, no, no weapons. Are you chairman of a militia?
• 1:08:06
  Are you a general? Well, and how do I get it? I don't know where you heard that. How do I get in
• 1:08:15
  some of this million million dollars worth of gold? First of all, the number one rule to get in is
• 1:08:22
  loose lip sinks. Chips. Good point. Good point. So really we don't talk about the 800,000 hidden
• 1:08:30
  under the bed. Oh no. Everybody's talking about that. That's a good point. Okay. So you heard the,
• 1:08:37
  the discussion of this guy called the archivist. Now I don't remember what his name was. I looked
• 1:08:41
  it up, but I couldn't remember it, but a good point to remember. Okay. People that are just
• 1:08:47
  hearing about this and are interested, I would tell them to go to the book or even go to Ray Dalio
• 1:08:55
  and he'll tell you a couple of bits about that guy. So you think his is, you think his, uh, uh,
• 1:09:03
  postulations are accurate. Oh, absolutely. But more than that, do the research.
• 1:09:11
  Do the research because he certainly has, and he can establish a historical pattern, right?
• 1:09:21
  And he talks about the economic cycles, the rises and the fall of, uh, nations.
• 1:09:29
  Well, that's what interests me. I like the macro parts, the huge, the global scale, the, you know,
• 1:09:35
  this action affects the chains of events. I mean, that's what I talk about. You know,
• 1:09:41
  I'm not a micro guy. I'm not what happens down the street. I don't think that the big picture
• 1:09:46
  has much effect on all of that. I'm, I'm interested, you know, be a good neighbor, but
• 1:09:53
  that's where you and I diverge, diverge, because I think it is all about focusing
• 1:10:00
  on your local community, even all the way up to your local region. Yeah, but we don't have
• 1:10:06
  any effect on that. Do we have any? Actually, do we have an impact? Absolutely. And that's where
• 1:10:14
  your local organizations of, uh, what you call the militia or maybe peacekeepers,
• 1:10:21
  people who are involved, they're the watchmen on the tower. So I'm much more of a solo,
• 1:10:28
  you know, I'd be the, the, the, well, in the coming, not just the coming times, but even now,
• 1:10:36
  you need to have a network. I don't care how lone wolf you are. You need to have a supportive
• 1:10:43
  network. That's the term people that you absolutely can trust, even if it's only two or three people.
• 1:10:50
  Um, that's absolutely, but as for, let's talk about the gold and the silver. Okay. Gold,
• 1:10:58
  not so much. Although if you watch the market closed just under 5,100 last Friday,
• 1:11:06
  let's say that you had one lone sovereign, maybe a St. Gaudens, double Eagle, uh, coin,
• 1:11:16
  and that's a one ouncer, right? An old one. Let's say you had one of those,
• 1:11:22
  which boy, it would be nice to get my hands on one of those, but that those, those were,
• 1:11:28
  if you went by spot price, it was just under 5,100, but silver, silver closed out at 103.33.
• 1:11:38
  Now for comparison, silver, an ounce of silver this time last year was at 28. Okay. So now it
• 1:11:49
  price 103.33. That was Friday, Monday morning. So Monday morning, and let's just take an example.
• 1:12:00
  Yesterday, gold shot up to 5555. Okay. That's, that's, that's, that's what's called their people.
• 1:12:13
  Even this guy said it would go to 10,000 over or 10,000 overnight. Now, if the Boone
• 1:12:19
  despond really did make this demand, it would go to 10,000 overnight. Right. Well, and, and yesterday
• 1:12:27
  silver, which I'm not, I'm not ashamed to say I'm a silver stacker. Silver went up to 119.31. Okay.
• 1:12:35
  Now came back down. It ultimately closed out. I think at like 117, but the markets are open.
• 1:12:43
  Let's put you, can I ask you a question or do you need to finish this thought first?
• 1:12:49
  Well, let me hurry and say this. So over the weekend, if you went from $5,100 or 50,
• 1:12:56
  94 or whatever, 5,100, and yesterday you decided, Oh, I'm going to cash in. You just made what?
• 1:13:03
  450 bucks. Okay. So that's better than any stock, any bank morning market, et cetera, so on.
• 1:13:15
  However but that's not the key for these people, the retail market, the people like Joe Schmo and
• 1:13:22
  me and you, we want stability. And if you think that we're worried about stability, what do you
• 1:13:29
  think these sovereign countries are thinking? Of course they want. So I'm not going to answer
• 1:13:35
  the question as to whether or not I think Germany, because Germany would be a fool to not want their
• 1:13:40
  money back. Okay. Now they're gold. Now I finished my, okay. So, so, and, and, and here's the point
• 1:13:47
  for me. Okay. So years and years ago, they put their tons of physical gold in the fed. Okay.
• 1:13:57
  Let's say yeah. 1,000 is not disputed. No, no, no. That's actual 1,236 tons currently exist
• 1:14:04
  allegedly in New York. Okay. Over the last, uh, since, since world war two, it's been 80 years
• 1:14:10
  celebrated the 80th anniversary last year or this year. Well, 2025. And, um, that gold was no, that,
• 1:14:19
  that 1,236 tons is a physical asset like your home. And it's been sitting in the federal bank
• 1:14:28
  inside of, uh, New York. At least that's what the fed would have. People would have you believe
• 1:14:35
  there are some 700 kind of like, it's a wonderful life. Right. And that money is not really,
• 1:14:42
  I don't believe, I don't believe it's really there. There's been argument about Fort Knox,
• 1:14:48
  the same thing. Well, there's too much of a resistance. If you know that it's there and it
• 1:14:52
  doesn't have to be returned anytime soon. Well, and everybody would take it and sell it off or
• 1:14:57
  pocket it in their own homes. Or, you know, how about I sell this bar to executive a and every
• 1:15:04
  executive at the fed has been buying himself a bar of gold for the last, you know, 80 years and
• 1:15:11
  putting it in his own home or his own safe. And it's all it is is a financial asset now. And that
• 1:15:17
  gold, right. And that gold, right. And that gold is no longer physically present. And then now it's
• 1:15:24
  worth 50 times what it was worth 80 years ago. Okay. Or more, uh, is what it was last week or
• 1:15:32
  yeah. Or what it was last week. If Germany demanded it back, the physical gold, which all
• 1:15:40
  other countries in the further East you go, the more they are stacking gold and they are buying
• 1:15:46
  the physical gold and they are doing it in massive quantities. And that is, and I, you heard
• 1:15:54
  the allegation that has been made in Russia, but also hushed up everywhere around the world, that
• 1:16:00
  the first Venezuelan ship that was headed to Russia, that was seized by the Trump administration.
• 1:16:05
  And they just released the Russian sailors. The two of them that were on that ship in the last
• 1:16:11
  few days, they just released them. Uh, there is great speculation in Russian sources that that
• 1:16:19
  ship carried Venezuelan gold and repatriation of Russian Venezuelan gold to Russia and Trump
• 1:16:27
  stole it. And that is the, one of the leverages for what's going on with trying to settle the
• 1:16:36
  Ukraine conflict or certainly, certainly a fact. One of the biggest, biggest gold producers. Yep.
• 1:16:45
  The big, the largest is what I hear in the planet. But my question was, or my comment would be, uh,
• 1:16:53
  if that, uh, gold doesn't come now, I I'm one of those that maybe I am a little far too much
• 1:17:01
  I'm more of a realist than a conspiracy guy. It seems reasonable to me to think that over 80 years,
• 1:17:09
  this gold doesn't necessarily exist. And if there really was a statement by the Bundesbank,
• 1:17:16
  which they're starting to say, we want our 1200 bars of gold there. You're not getting the 1200
• 1:17:21
  bars of gold. You're getting the value of 1200 bars of gold in paper money, because the U S
• 1:17:30
  would repatriate or take that and that paper money isn't worth a piece of crap anyway. And
• 1:17:36
  the value of that, that you get when you is like, you know, why people should hold a physical asset.
• 1:17:43
  This is basics, you know, that you get in third grade, you know, that, that, uh,
• 1:17:47
  the asset is definitely worth more than the promise of the asset. And, uh, we've all been
• 1:17:54
  building up wealth. We claim we got a million bucks, but where is it? It's not in a shoe box
• 1:18:00
  under your bed. It's in a bank and banks are subject to the gold that is in the federal
• 1:18:06
  reserve. And if governments don't trust each other, why in the world should we trust a government is
• 1:18:12
  right. Well, one, one, one comment that I want to make, cause I know you're,
• 1:18:17
  you're short on time and your fun time will end here shortly.
• 1:18:22
  I want you to, maybe you can talk about this on one of your shows is read and listen to Ray Dalio,
• 1:18:30
  what he says about, uh, somebody else told me to listen to that too. And I don't remember who
• 1:18:35
  yeah. For stage five and stage six of an empire stage five, stage six. And you tell me
• 1:18:43
  if that doesn't sound familiar. Oh, I've been saying that we're in the,
• 1:18:47
  and I don't like to call the collapse, but we're in the decline of, uh, of an empire.
• 1:18:53
  That is where we are. We're in a decline. Let's talk. It's a, it's a transformation
• 1:18:58
  because everything is a transformation. It's not like, it's not like we're all
• 1:19:03
  don't exist anymore. It's just the systems are transformed. And maybe the system comes out
• 1:19:11
  looking like it's more into something completely different than what we, and we are fortunate,
• 1:19:18
  the boomer generation and the millennials to be a part of this whole transformation.
• 1:19:26
  Well, I, I would say that's probably true. I think we had a strong education in preparation.
• 1:19:33
  That's what I think. Yep. And that's where the prepper in me comes around and that's a food,
• 1:19:41
  livestock monitor, something that you can barter and trade with. Yeah. You killed off some cows,
• 1:19:46
  didn't you? Yep. Didn't our illustrious brother tell me he went and picked up part of a cow from
• 1:19:51
  you over the last couple of weeks. That's true. And we've got several more coming up this year,
• 1:19:57
  but that's what you've got to be able to. Yeah. You got to be willing to participate and be a part
• 1:20:04
  of what it takes to not just sustain, but to help your community thrive.
• 1:20:11
  And I'm not the greatest of community spokespersons. That's for sure. And I think
• 1:20:17
  most of that goes to the fact that well, you still have to be networked with a few individuals.
• 1:20:23
  But we moved all over the country when we were kids and we made friends easily. And we had,
• 1:20:33
  you know, I've always had shitloads of acquaintances and very few friend-friends,
• 1:20:44
  you know what I mean? I actually think that's all of us. And we're certainly not
• 1:20:49
  friends. We've got little factions within our own family. Well, yeah. And I am the antichrist in
• 1:21:00
  many eyes. But I am who I am. And that's that. Yeah. But I kind of like, you know,
• 1:21:11
  and I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist, but just because you're not doesn't mean there
• 1:21:16
  aren't conspiracies. Look for conspiracy facts. Well, yeah. And I suppose this is a
• 1:21:27
  growing up trap segment would be that none of us ever believed the damn thing anyway.
• 1:21:34
  And, you know, we've been very cynical. We were always checking it out. And, you know,
• 1:21:40
  in the arguments around because so many things in our lives turned out to not be true.
• 1:21:45
  Well, that's true, too. And in everybody's lives, you know, stuff that stuff that you
• 1:21:50
  relied upon or things that you get a fundamental belief system.
• 1:21:54
  You can't. But but we all have strong fundamental beliefs, you know, of our own.
• 1:22:00
  They may be narrowed or sharpened or whatever you want to call them. And we're all extremely strong
• 1:22:08
  and opinion wise. And it's not like you're going to. I enjoy speaking with other people about
• 1:22:16
  opinions and I respect everybody's and I have no problem debating things and finding out about
• 1:22:23
  things. But I'm pretty straight up about what I don't know. And, you know, I'm not really an
• 1:22:30
  expert on that. I don't I don't really know. But if I know something, I'm happy to spout it out to
• 1:22:34
  you. You know what I mean? Yeah. The few things that I do believe I have very strong convictions
• 1:22:39
  of, you know. Well, you'd be good in the Ozarks. You'd be good. But but you're up in a bunker in
• 1:22:47
  Idaho. You're in a bunker there. How far underground are you? You know, how deep is
• 1:22:55
  your hope we'd have to kill you? Have you watched do you watch Apple TV at all?
• 1:23:00
  No, can't say I do. I'm usually out doing chores. Well, you're a workaholic. And there's one there's
• 1:23:06
  several end of the world sort of shows out there. And one of them, there's two of them that I've
• 1:23:11
  been following in one. And I kind of got stuck. And I think this one's really on Prime Video or
• 1:23:17
  whatever. But what's that one? It's called Fallout. There's Fallout that I've been watching,
• 1:23:23
  which was is interesting, but certainly science fiction. And then there's another one that is
• 1:23:29
  called Silo. And oh, I have heard of that. Silo I've enjoyed. And allegedly they're coming out
• 1:23:38
  with two more seasons this this that are supposed to come out. They were supposed to be late 25,
• 1:23:45
  early 26 are already done and in production. And I've been looking to find out when seasons three
• 1:23:51
  and four are there because they're supposed to come out and be done. Hey, did you see that
• 1:23:57
  Rod Stewart has been made Sir Rod Stewart in England? He's now a sir, just like just like
• 1:24:05
  forgotten all of his activities, just like Elton John. And didn't they? Yeah. Didn't they make the
• 1:24:13
  Led Zeppelin one or two of them from are there too? I can't remember. Robert Plant wasn't Robert
• 1:24:19
  Plant. That's right. I think it is. I think it's Robert Plant. But I can't remember. But
• 1:24:24
  anyway, they're all they're all fine sirs. Oh, they're completely changed your buddy.
• 1:24:30
  I've completely changed the topic. I apologize for that. Yeah. But we have TVs on in the studio
• 1:24:35
  and stuff gets shown. And when I'm not studying my my my things get diluted and corrupted,
• 1:24:44
  like get corrupted, just like our country. Nicki Minaj says she's Trump's number one fan.
• 1:24:50
  Hey, one final question, because you're almost out of time is but you might want to think why
• 1:24:56
  would Trump now? I'm not saying he is or he is not. But ponder this as you do your research on
• 1:25:02
  Ray Dalio. Why would it benefit Trump to devalue the dollar or debase our currency?
• 1:25:09
  Why? Well, for the same reason any politician goes, because they know something's happening.
• 1:25:15
  No, but but what's the point? What what do you want? What do you hope to achieve?
• 1:25:19
  You know, why? Why the scuttlebutt and why the propaganda and the conspiracy
• 1:25:25
  that I might have more power, 800,000 or even 5,000? That's personalizing what Trump has done.
• 1:25:32
  Give me your theory, because I've only got a couple of minutes. Tell me why.
• 1:25:36
  Oh, well, well, you do your own research. But I would say number one, let's talk about
• 1:25:41
  what he wants to put in place, a gold back digital currency.
• 1:25:46
  OK, the second of all, remember that these are all factions.
• 1:25:51
  Is he stealing? Is he stealing the German gold then? Is that what you're saying?
• 1:25:56
  I don't think that he did it per se. Yeah. But would he just
• 1:26:02
  nationalize it and say, sorry, dudes, here's your dollars. Have a nice day.
• 1:26:06
  Oh, or why not just say this? Why not just say this?
• 1:26:10
  Gold is now worth because we know that it's it. What did they do? They took it from the
• 1:26:16
  devalued government before. Right. So why would you take it from 20 and then tell everyone that
• 1:26:22
  they confiscated their gold in 1933? Turn it in. You get 20 bucks. They got a 20 dollar bill.
• 1:26:30
  And then the Federal Reserve had it all and revalued it at 33. So let's take gold that's at
• 1:26:39
  2000 or 5000 or whatever. You got to do it quickly.
• 1:26:44
  Right. And then you're you revalue it at 10 or 20,000. Well, there goes our trillions in.
• 1:26:51
  Well, I understand all that. Now we can repay everyone. So that's
• 1:26:55
  he could do the math on the other. I'd love to hear about it.
• 1:26:59
  OK, well, I'll look into it and see what I can do. I don't usually talk on this topic. And
• 1:27:04
  so I appreciate your research. It's very interesting. You can go down quite a rabbit
• 1:27:09
  hole. So have a great day. Talk to you soon, Sam. Yep. See you later. Thanks for your call.
• 1:27:15
  And there she goes. Well, folks, I've done something I don't usually do on the show.
• 1:27:20
  I've gotten into a topic that I that I don't follow myself. And, you know, but I do like to
• 1:27:26
  find out new things and check them out. And I do pay attention to stuff. And, you know, there's
• 1:27:34
  there's plenty of rabbit holes to go down in the world. And I go down quite a few of them,
• 1:27:41
  you know, that that I because I enjoy doing it. You know, I'm a legal research, you know,
• 1:27:48
  dude, I like legal research. I go in and I find minutia to and base things upon it. Heck, I enjoyed
• 1:27:57
  that part of econ and constitutional law and stuff like that when I was in law school and in university
• 1:28:04
  before that. Anyway, the show is ending. I appreciate you being here today. You can always
• 1:28:09
  listen to us at damn radio dot com forward slash live. You can send in your commentary to Samuel T
• 1:28:17
  at international flavor dot com. You can listen to all of my back programs at international flavor
• 1:28:24
  dot com. They're all there and available for you. And I'm trying to get my Russian channel back
• 1:28:32
  going and we'll see if that gets well up. I'm hoping to do a show even tomorrow in Russian.
• 1:28:39
  I hope you all have a very nice day. It's it's a tiny bit warmer in the Lake Ozark real estate of
• 1:28:49
  the art studio or outside of it. Tiny bit warmer. I'm only wearing a heavy jacket instead of a
• 1:28:56
  parka today. Have a very nice day and thanks for joining us in.
