Latest / SILVER / GOLD / $UFD Meme Coin Investing & Global Economics / 🚨 ALERT! 🚨 Prepare NOW for Big CHANGES -- SILVER & GOLD
Transcript
- 0:00I understand. You want to know where is the
- 0:03gold price headed? Where is the silver price
- 0:06headed? We got some big clues yesterday
- 0:10and today from the Federal Reserve when they announced
- 0:14their monetary policy decision. We're going to talk about why
- 0:17things are so different right now and as we head into the end
- 0:23of the year and why we could see a record all time high price in
- 0:29gold. I believe it's within the realm
- 0:32of reasonable possibilities. Sure.
- 0:35We don't know absolutely what will happen, but when we piece
- 0:38it all together, what happened yesterday and what it means, I
- 0:44think we've got good news ahead for the silver price, the gold
- 0:47price and the platinum price. We could see silver hit that 30
- 0:53to $35 range by the end of the year.
- 0:56Hey, the clock is ticking, so let's get started talking about
- 1:00what happened yesterday. Hey, we had talked about this
- 1:03here in the basement. We had talked about the fact
- 1:05that the Fed wasn't going to do anything.
- 1:09But what was most important was what they said.
- 1:12But we also talked about how whatever they said was likely
- 1:17going to be a bunch of BS. And that's just what we got
- 1:22yesterday. And I've got a few bones to pick
- 1:24with our old friend Jerome Powell in the United States
- 1:28Federal Reserve. But let's just recap briefly.
- 1:33What was the action? Pay attention to the actions.
- 1:37Remember, actions speak louder than words.
- 1:41The action yesterday was they held interest rates steady.
- 1:46What were the words? The words were essentially
- 1:49higher for longer. Oh, we're going to keep up this
- 1:52great, great, great price with the great fight with the with
- 1:57the inflation. You guys are asking about the
- 1:59hot dog. Can't you see it?
- 2:01Is it on the screen? Hold on a second.
- 2:03We got a hot dog break. For those of you who don't know,
- 2:06we do play Hide the hot dog during every live stream and
- 2:11somewhere on this screen should be a hot dog.
- 2:14But I don't know for sure if you can see it.
- 2:18Hold on a second. Keep looking for the hot dog.
- 2:27Tell me if you can see it. Anyway, the action was nothing.
- 2:32The words were a bunch of BS. We've talked about this.
- 2:36It's almost like it's almost like they, Jerome has a case of
- 2:44verbal diarrhea. OK Oh, we're going to be tough.
- 2:48Oh, we got to be tough. And how did the market react?
- 2:52I warned you and we talked about this.
- 2:54They were going to do nothing. But now all they can do, and
- 2:59this is so critical for the future of the silver price and
- 3:02gold price. All they can do is talk.
- 3:05All they can do is talk. I could be wrong.
- 3:07Maybe they'll raise rates a couple more times by the end of
- 3:10the year. Good luck with that.
- 3:13The bond market already raised rates.
- 3:15We got the 10 year bond at 4.5%. We're going to cover that ad
- 3:20nauseam a little bit later and why That is devastation on many
- 3:24levels for the US economy. But the reality is when it comes
- 3:28to the Fed, they're out of ammunition.
- 3:30All they can do is talk tough. Now it'd be like if if two
- 3:35countries were at war with one another and one of them ran out
- 3:39of mortar shells and then they just started saying, oh, well,
- 3:42we're going to, we got something else.
- 3:44We're well, you better be careful.
- 3:45We got more to come and you're going to be in big trouble.
- 3:48And eventually the other side calls, what's that word?
- 3:52BS, for lack of a better term. And guys, that's just what we're
- 3:57on the cusp of experiencing with silver and gold where they're
- 4:02going to call BS on what's going on when the feds just talking,
- 4:07talking and talking. But, but the suckers fell for
- 4:12it, right? The general market, the sheeple,
- 4:14they're all like, oh, the feds going to raise rates, the feds
- 4:17going to raise, the Fed doesn't have any real ammo left.
- 4:21Do you think that right now Jerome Powell's going to raise
- 4:25rates by another 1% in the coming year?
- 4:28Do you think a year from now that we're going to see 5.5% on
- 4:32a 10 year bond yield that would be absolute devastation for the
- 4:37US economy? Because a key thing to remember
- 4:40is way different now than opposed to the 70s and 80s when
- 4:44they could raise rates. The debt levels, the corporate
- 4:47debt, the government debt, the consumer debt, all debt is
- 4:50extremely higher right now than it was back then.
- 4:55They can't raise rates without wreaking havoc in the economy.
- 5:01Look at what 4% interest rates did to the banking sector.
- 5:05Look at what, 4%? Four and a half percent rates?
- 5:09This is on the 10 year bond yield have done to credit card
- 5:11to the consumer what it's doing to companies, what it's doing to
- 5:15the commercial real estate market.
- 5:17It's done. It's over and we're likely
- 5:20heading into a new era for the precious metals.
- 5:23Because guess what, Jerome can't stop inflation.
- 5:26And if he can't stop inflation and he can't raise rates any
- 5:30further, we're in an environment where inflation is going to be
- 5:34persistent and sticky and and is going to outweigh going to
- 5:40become greater than the prevailing interest rate.
- 5:44We'll be heading right back into a negative real interest rate
- 5:47environment and that will be nothing but gold.
- 5:50Good for the gold and silver price.
- 5:52Thank you, Neil for the Super chat my friend.
- 5:55Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
- 5:57So when we look at what's going on right now, proof, what proof,
- 6:00what more proof do we need that they can't raise rates any
- 6:05higher, right. We've talked, the banks are on
- 6:08life support, OK. We've got, we've got a couple of
- 6:11the 30 year bonds now there are U.S. government bonds that are
- 6:15trading at $0.50 on the dollar. That's the extreme example.
- 6:20But the banks are in massive trouble because of their bond
- 6:24portfolios and their commercial real estate portfolios.
- 6:27You know, the consumers and massive trouble because of
- 6:30credit card debt. You know, the government's in
- 6:33trouble, OK. You know, businesses are also in
- 6:37trouble because they've got the government's got a ton of debt,
- 6:40businesses have a ton of debt. Rates cannot go any higher.
- 6:44It's wake up time. It really is guys, it's wake,
- 6:47it's go time. It's time to watch some feathers
- 6:50fly, you know. Now let's talk about Jerome
- 6:56Powell. I have a couple observations.
- 6:58Did you watch, what did you think if you watched Jerome's
- 7:03press conference yesterday? Thank you again, Neil, Super
- 7:06appreciated. What did you think about Jerome
- 7:10to me? I made some notes.
- 7:12Here, let me read this to you. Let me read this to you.
- 7:16I thought he looked horrible. I thought he looked tired.
- 7:19I thought he looked worn out. And then I thought, it's not
- 7:22easy to be full of BS and to know like it felt.
- 7:28I. I sensed that his conscience was
- 7:31weighing on him yesterday. OK.
- 7:33And I thought, you know, Jerome, it's better just to be honest in
- 7:36life, right? Nobody's perfect.
- 7:38I'm sure you've told a few fibs in your life.
- 7:40I'm 53 years old. I've learned it's better to be
- 7:43completely honest all the time with my friends, with my family,
- 7:47with anyone out there. It's a heck of a lot easier than
- 7:51living in a world of lies. It weighs on a person.
- 7:55And I just really sensed I could be wrong.
- 7:58Maybe. Jerome, do you believe Jerome is
- 8:01being completely honest with us? But he looked worn out.
- 8:04There was even a point during the press conference where you
- 8:06like, hesitated and and it was like he was having a like a
- 8:11senior moment, which hey, we're all headed for that.
- 8:13So again, I'm not putting down elderly people.
- 8:16We're all headed for the same thing.
- 8:18But it just felt like Jerome was was not natural, was not normal,
- 8:25wasn't real right. And isn't that what it is?
- 8:28You know, I had this unbelievable conversation
- 8:31yesterday with an executive from one of the big bullion dealers
- 8:36and we were talking about how yesterday was a big day, right,
- 8:39for the gold and silver market. You know, it was going to be a
- 8:42huge, huge day. And and we said, I Can you
- 8:45believe that we're living in this world, this fantasy world
- 8:48where we're like we're, we're so dependent on the Fed.
- 8:51It's like the Wizard of Oz is going to speak.
- 8:54And that's what it felt like yesterday when I listened to
- 8:57him, actually, then talked during the press conference.
- 8:59Like, none of this is real. And what I talked about with
- 9:02this executive from the bullion company was the very simple fact
- 9:06that if we still had real money in this country, if we still had
- 9:11a gold standard and a silver standard, like, we wouldn't even
- 9:15there wouldn't maybe there wouldn't even be a Fed.
- 9:17There'd be no need. We would just have real money.
- 9:20And then he brought up, I thought, one of the most
- 9:22pertinent points. He's like, and there wouldn't be
- 9:24any inflation. And then and then I mentioned to
- 9:28him, I said, yeah, I said think about, think about this, think
- 9:31about this. We're shooting for 2% inflation.
- 9:36Our government that's supposed to be looking out for the
- 9:38wellbeing of you and me is shooting for the fact that
- 9:42you're going to get 2% of your money stolen from you on an
- 9:46annual basis. Money that you work for, right.
- 9:50Money that you that you that that you labor for or work or
- 9:54you know that 2%. That's what we're shooting for.
- 9:58Heck, last year they took 10%. I mean isn't this insane?
- 10:03Isn't it crazy for as if we were on a gold like we were.
- 10:08I know it's. I know it's nutty, right?
- 10:10You're you're a you're a nut case to even even even to
- 10:16propose considering backing currency with silver or gold.
- 10:20But we were up until 1971 and it worked pretty darn well.
- 10:25I digress. The whole I I want to.
- 10:29I want to. The the take away for me from
- 10:31watching Jerome yesterday was that he was scared.
- 10:35He didn't seem natural. I think that this is all
- 10:40nervous. I think it's all catching up
- 10:43with them. I think guys, here's here's the
- 10:46here's the truth. OK, here's the truth.
- 10:49And and if you don't agree with me, you can say it in the
- 10:52comments. But the truth is, whatever
- 10:55Jerome Powell talked about yesterday during that press
- 10:58conference, that was the tip of the iceberg of what's really
- 11:03going on. And if it's even the tip, we
- 11:07don't even know if it was true, OK.
- 11:09I mean, unfortunately, if we look at it, it history in
- 11:14reality that's that's the case, OK.
- 11:17And now everybody, all the pundits, and you know, I did
- 11:21notice that Silver had made a comeback this morning.
- 11:23Yes, it's waking up. Gold, last I looked, was down
- 11:30about $10 per oz. Yes.
- 11:32OK, yes, I'm fine with that given the fact that the general
- 11:38sheeple, the crowd, whatever, whatever you want to call,
- 11:42right. Those other 99 out of 100 people
- 11:45that don't invest in silver and gold are all reading are.
- 11:48They're all watching TV and they're all reading their papers
- 11:51and it's saying, oh, the feds going to be hawkish. the Fed is
- 11:55hawkish. There's a headline here.
- 11:57I copied it somewhere. Hold on a second.
- 12:00Hold on. Bear with me.
- 12:02Here's a Yahoo Finance headline. Interest rates.
- 12:05Staying quote UN quote higher for longer means at least
- 12:11through at least through 2026 for the Fed.
- 12:17So everybody's believing now that we're, you know, that Lucy
- 12:20pulled the football again. Well, you know what, right in
- 12:23the gold price. We've made that analogy like
- 12:26Charlie Brown trying to kick the football and Lucy keeps pulling
- 12:28it. Thank you lost for word.
- 12:30Thank you for that super chat that Lucy pulled.
- 12:33Lucy didn't quite get the football all the way out of the
- 12:36way this time, guys. We are in a new era.
- 12:39We are in a new environment for the silver price and gold price.
- 12:46It's not, it's not what we've been used to.
- 12:50It's a it's a an awakening. All right.
- 12:53Right. But but but now in in proof,
- 12:57proof of this you want proof of this is like I said all the
- 13:01people. The other 99 out of 100, you're
- 13:03the one in 100, maybe one in 200 that understand silver that
- 13:07understands gold. But everybody else, the the, the
- 13:10herd, the market, the whatever you want to call them, they're
- 13:14all believing, oh, the feds going to be hawkish.
- 13:16Oh, the feds going to be hawkish.
- 13:18Well, if that were the case, that the Fed were really about
- 13:21to embark on any type of hawkishness, gold would be down
- 13:27at 1700. Silver would be down at $18.33,
- 13:32maybe 30-4 cents per oz. Platinum would be at, what, 780?
- 13:38And that didn't happen. OK, the worst case scenario, the
- 13:43verbal abuse. That's what we'll call it.
- 13:47The verbal abuse that we've endured over a long period of
- 13:51time, but especially yesterday from the Fed, didn't have it
- 13:55lost its potency. OK, there's like the real the
- 14:00real power of the Fed to affect the gold and silver price didn't
- 14:06come to fruition yesterday. I want you to think about that
- 14:09for a minute. All right.
- 14:11Gold is still above 1900. Now I'll be completely
- 14:15transparent with you if gold gets the 1840 three $1843 if
- 14:21silver dips below 20. I'm a little scared, right?
- 14:25But in terms of the feds real ability to fight inflation,
- 14:30they're done. They've, they've, they've
- 14:31they've shot all their mortar shells.
- 14:33They've gone through all their ammunition.
- 14:35So now all they can do is verbal threats.
- 14:39Oh, you better not. You better not inflation.
- 14:41You better not put poke your head up because if you do we're
- 14:45coming after you. We don't have any animal.
- 14:48But everybody, everybody look tough, right?
- 14:50All 12 of you fed governors look tough.
- 14:52Look like we're going to be tough.
- 14:55New, new day, new era this 10 year bond yield.
- 15:01Oh man, it is going to wreak if it stays at 4.5.
- 15:06All I can say is it it's going to, it's going to cause problems
- 15:12on many levels if it gets above 4.5.
- 15:15And for those of you who don't know, the 10 year bond yield is
- 15:18the bellwether, the 10 year U.S. Treasury bond yield and it's
- 15:22sitting right at right below 4.5 the last I checked.
- 15:27Boy, you know, I'll repeat it because it's exciting.
- 15:31The banks, the government, the consumer and businesses are on
- 15:37the ropes with these higher interest rates.
- 15:40The days of bye bye, you know, 0% interest rates, they are
- 15:44gone. You know Coin Shop, listen to
- 15:46this, listen to this. What if I told you that Ray Coin
- 15:50Shop Chris shared this with me earlier.
- 15:51Thank you Coin Shop Chris for sharing this because I'm going
- 15:54to talk about it right now and it's crazy and we're going to
- 15:58talk about it more in a video we're going to do this coming
- 16:00weekend. But guys, two years ago the
- 16:05interest rate on a 30 year mortgage was around 3%.
- 16:09Okay, today that same interest rate sit down because this is
- 16:13crazy. Is 7.3% OK?
- 16:18Is that a big increase? That's like 143% increase.
- 16:22But what's crazy, what's what's devastating for people and for
- 16:28the real estate market for that matter, is the simple fact that
- 16:33a $300,000 mortgage, the payment today, would be more than double
- 16:39of what it was two years ago. And that's not all.
- 16:42That's only half of the problem. The other half is the actual
- 16:47house that somebody might want to buy today is likely 60 to 70%
- 16:52more expensive because of Bidenomics.
- 16:56You know, Joe Biden's economic miracle, where everybody's doing
- 17:00so darn great, We are headed for trouble in River City.
- 17:06Is that a common saying? I don't know.
- 17:08Tell me. My mom used to always say that
- 17:10we got trouble in River City and that was never a good sign we
- 17:14got. Hi, mom, I hope you're watching
- 17:17today. We got trouble in River City,
- 17:22you know, where my my parent, my parents, my parents are at a
- 17:25casino on a little. They don't go to the casinos a
- 17:27lot, but they're on a trip and they're they're on the border of
- 17:31Oklahoma and Texas at this massive, massive.
- 17:35My dad keeps sending me pictures like the casino.
- 17:38It's like a city. It's massive.
- 17:40It's like a miniature Las Las Vegas.
- 17:42That's how they say it. Las Vegas, anyway.
- 17:45They're like, you wouldn't believe all the people here.
- 17:47And I'm thinking, number one, look, you do whatever you want.
- 17:50I used to gamble a lot. I got some incredible gambling.
- 17:53I used to love to gamble when I was younger.
- 17:54I don't gamble anymore because it's you're going to lose.
- 17:57OK, so all those people losing, but I'm like, where are they
- 18:00getting all their money from? Maybe it's oil money.
- 18:03I don't know. But what is going on out there?
- 18:05It's just absolutely, absolutely crazy.
- 18:10And and before I finish with Jerome, you know what?
- 18:14We get him out real quick. Say yeah.
- 18:17Hey, guys. Hey, everybody.
- 18:19Hey, all you 99 out of 100 people.
- 18:22Not you. I'm not.
- 18:23You're a basement dweller, OK? You've got a you know, but
- 18:27everybody else out there, thanks for taking me hook, line and
- 18:31sinker yesterday. OK.
- 18:33Thank you. Yeah.
- 18:35I mean, come on, man. Heck, I could do the, the
- 18:38Federal Reserve press conference down here in the basement,
- 18:42right? Oh, we got 100 thumbs up.
- 18:44We got 100 thumbs up. That means I'm going to ring the
- 18:47bell 10 * 1 time for each ten thumbs up.
- 18:50That's called ringflation. There you go guys.
- 18:57Don't forget, please do give this a thumbs up.
- 18:59We got almost 300 people on a Thursday.
- 19:02You guys are awesome. Please takes a few seconds.
- 19:05Press that thing that looks like that and I would be greatly
- 19:09appreciative. The The final thing I want to
- 19:12say about Jerome was then at some point during his press
- 19:15conference he said he had this. Like saying that he put out.
- 19:19It made me sick, made me nauseous.
- 19:21He was like, you know, we're following our mission, which is
- 19:25to look out for the wellbeing of the average American person.
- 19:29We understand how hard it is with inflation.
- 19:33And I thought that is the cherry on the top of BS that I've
- 19:37heard. All they have done, all the Fed
- 19:40has done over the last number of decades.
- 19:42I'm sorry, I'm mad, OK? So if you don't want to hear me
- 19:46be mad, go watch Roadrunner cartoons like Coin Shop, Chris
- 19:49says. But I'm mad because all the
- 19:52Federal Reserve, everything they've done, and you know what?
- 19:56The Treasury is complicit with them in this as well, has
- 19:59allowed the top half percent, the top 1% of the wealthy in
- 20:05this country to accumulate vast, more, vastly additional to get
- 20:10wealthier. The wealth distribution in this
- 20:12country is off the charts. And that's a hard number.
- 20:17That's a fact, right? You don't hear about it on CNN
- 20:20or Fox News or or MSNBC or anything else.
- 20:23So for him to sit there and say that that, oh, we really feel
- 20:26for the for the average man out there who's having such a hard
- 20:30time feeding his or her kids, right.
- 20:34Making their house payment, making their car payment,
- 20:37whatever the case may be. It made me mad to hear that.
- 20:40Well, if you really feel that, then why don't you address
- 20:44wealth disparity in this country?
- 20:47Because it's at a level that it's never been in history.
- 20:50Jerome, in all of your policies over the last 2025 years have
- 20:55done nothing but but perpetuate this problem.
- 20:59I wonder why. But now all of a sudden you're
- 21:02concerned. Here's the bottom line, guys.
- 21:05Here's the absolute and this is the little nugget.
- 21:08This is the Big Nugget, OK. This is the big Nugget. the Fed.
- 21:14And I heard, I heard there's a was a great conversation with
- 21:19Frank Gestra, Robert Friedland and Pierre Lausanne.
- 21:24These are veteran guys that are super intelligent and they said
- 21:28the same. the Fed needs inflation.
- 21:31There's no way, there's no way, there's no other way that the
- 21:35system works without inflating away the debt.
- 21:39That's just a fact. And OK, so all the all the
- 21:43verbal abuse that he gave us yesterday and oh, we're gonna
- 21:46fight inflation and Ababa, it's it's all a bunch.
- 21:51It's all a bunch of BS and for people.
- 21:54OK And. And the silver price and gold
- 21:56price got kneecapped a little bit yesterday.
- 21:58A little bit today. Because suddenly everybody's
- 22:01like, like, again, I'm going to read this Yahoo Finance headline
- 22:04to you, right. Interest rates staying higher
- 22:07for longer means at least through 2026.
- 22:10Everybody's like, oh, the feds going to be tough for the next.
- 22:13What is that? 2 years?
- 22:15Don't forget. Okay, this makes me This makes
- 22:18me mad too. Don't forget two years ago,
- 22:21that's the same Fed who was telling you we aren't going to
- 22:23raise interest rates till the end of 2023.
- 22:26We're not even at the end of 2023, right?
- 22:29And we've been through this Uber.
- 22:31So why suddenly are these people dent?
- 22:35Why do they all of a sudden believe them?
- 22:37Why? Why?
- 22:39Right. Why?
- 22:40Remember he said two years ago he's not going to raise interest
- 22:43rates until the end of 2023. Why do you suddenly?
- 22:47Why did why? Why?
- 22:49I want to ask that, not you, because I don't think you do
- 22:51believe them. But why did why do all my
- 22:53neighbors? Because the newspaper told me
- 22:56that's what he said. Or that's because that's what
- 23:00the Children's news network, CNN, told me.
- 23:02So it must be the truth, because my TV told me, well, no, think
- 23:07for yourself. Think for yourself.
- 23:11Don't. Don't think the way I think.
- 23:13Don't think the way CNN tells you to think.
- 23:17Don't think the way anybody tells you to think.
- 23:20Absorb the information, right? Do it from an objective
- 23:24perspective and make up your own darn mind.
- 23:26But why would we believe this guy?
- 23:28Do I even have to tell you about the fact that he said inflation
- 23:31was temporary, transitory and also not a problem two or three
- 23:36years ago? Oh, but now all of a sudden,
- 23:39instantly, this little scared sheep is what he looked like
- 23:43yesterday. He looked like a little boy who
- 23:46was who was who got caught stealing cookies from the cookie
- 23:49jar. We're going to believe him.
- 23:53I don't. Whatever.
- 23:55I don't know. Jerome.
- 23:56He's always welcome to join me here in the basement.
- 23:58I would love to have Jerome Powell.
- 24:00He could sit right there on the bear with the Pin Becks Box.
- 24:03Now if you think silver and gold are a good way to protect
- 24:05yourself, go check out Pin Becks, Pi, MB, EX Pin backs.
- 24:11I love to say it. Read the reviews.
- 24:14Become comfortable with the company.
- 24:16I think you will. I'm comfortable with the
- 24:19company. Check out their prices.
- 24:21Check out their products. I think you'll like what you see
- 24:24for me. They check all the boxes, pardon
- 24:26the pun. Now let's move on to what The
- 24:29Wall Street Journal. You want some some great news
- 24:31about what it's like to be an American, though, that most of
- 24:35you are in America, some of you are in other countries.
- 24:38Okay. And I think it's this way all
- 24:40around the world from what I understand.
- 24:43But the Wall Street Journal delivered a whopper, I mean a
- 24:49whopper of an article today about what's going on in the US
- 24:56economy. Where are you joining me from?
- 24:58Because you know what? Wait a minute.
- 25:00I think I see you. Yeah, right.
- 25:04You are the most important part. There is no live stream.
- 25:08There is no Ron's basement without you.
- 25:11So I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, thank you
- 25:14for being here. Thank you for being a part of
- 25:16this community. You guys are awesome.
- 25:20The moderators are awesome. We we are just a group of people
- 25:23that like to get together and navigate these difficult times
- 25:28together. All right.
- 25:29We want to be safe. Thank you, Tony, for the Super
- 25:32chat. Super chats are always
- 25:33appreciated, never expected. So thank you.
- 25:37I'm going to get a drink of water, and then we're going to
- 25:39go right into the Wall Street Journal.
- 26:02Are you still there? OK, thank you.
- 26:05Let's talk about the Wall Street Journal.
- 26:07And I'm going to do it in my nighttime voice.
- 26:10All right. Susie's yelling at me.
- 26:13Wall Street Journal article, Bidenomics.
- 26:16So remember what Joe says. This is just what he says, and
- 26:19this is how he says it. So it's not political.
- 26:22Bidenomics. It's working.
- 26:24OK, Wall Street Journal. They must.
- 26:28They must have missed that message from Joe because they
- 26:31said headline how US households got turned upside down by
- 26:39interest rates. Wait a minute.
- 26:44Didn't we just get news yesterday that supposedly the
- 26:47feds going to be tougher for longer and that means higher
- 26:51interest rates and like we talked about already, the 10
- 26:54year bond yields already at 4.5%.
- 26:58Wait a minute and things are already a little screwed up.
- 27:01Let's just we're going to talk just a few of the key key things
- 27:04that the Wall Street Journal brings up.
- 27:06Housing cost. Housing cost.
- 27:09It's it's economics 101. You probably learned this in
- 27:13high school. You probably learned it in
- 27:16college. If you went to college, or if
- 27:18not, you've heard it, you should never spend more than 30% of
- 27:22your income on housing, whether rent, mortgage payment, whatever
- 27:26the case may be, it's always been around 30%.
- 27:30Now, right now, because the housing cost have gone through
- 27:33the roof, people are spending 43% of their income on housing
- 27:39cost alone. Are you above that or are you
- 27:41below that? Because that's the average.
- 27:44Hopefully you're below that. Okay.
- 27:47We talked already about how mortgage rates have gone through
- 27:50the roof, real wages and again, the Wall Street Journal knocking
- 27:54this out of the park. Real wages and purchasing power
- 27:58Down, down, down, excess savings, down, down, down.
- 28:05The Wall Street Journal, they're not pulling any punches.
- 28:09They're actually out right now in the public saying Bidenomics,
- 28:13if it's such a great thing and it done so, so great.
- 28:17The reality is for America it's much, much different.
- 28:22It can't get much worse without causing a major issue crisis in
- 28:29this country. Is that what they're trying to
- 28:31do? I mean is that what is that the
- 28:33plan here? Default, right, A massive reset
- 28:38of everything. That's one of the options
- 28:40definitely. Really we're at a point where we
- 28:43have a fork in the road right now because of the screwed up
- 28:47financial condition and monetary condition that our country as a
- 28:51whole finds itself in, right? Government, business, banks,
- 28:55consumers, everybody else. We're at a fork in the road.
- 28:59Are they just going to go for a complete utter reset?
- 29:02Could it be, you know, a crisis that will allow them to then
- 29:06roll out the much feared CBDC where they can control how much
- 29:12money you get, where you spend it, how fast you spend it, how
- 29:16slow you spend it, right. That's one of the options.
- 29:19Another option, right? The other fork in the road is
- 29:22what I think is probably a little more likely, which is
- 29:26mathematically the only way out of this hole and not even out of
- 29:31the hole. But to sustain the screwed up
- 29:34situation we're in a little bit longer is to inflate it away.
- 29:39Okay. Either one of those two options
- 29:42present a very conducive environment for the price of
- 29:47gold, for the price of silver, for the price of platinum.
- 29:51Is it any wonder right now we've just we've we've just spent a
- 29:55whole half hour. And I am so glad that you're
- 29:58with me. You're a basement dweller.
- 30:01Welcome. A whole half hour just talking
- 30:04about the United States. You're watching me implode live
- 30:12on camera anyway, just talking about the United States.
- 30:17So is it any wonder that when we talk about China or Russia or
- 30:23India or Brazil or Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates or
- 30:29Iran or North Korea or any any number of a growing number of
- 30:37countries that they're looking at what we're doing and saying,
- 30:42you know, guys, we're not interested in playing, playing
- 30:45with you anymore. We're not interested in your
- 30:49rules and your you can't even take care of your own house.
- 30:55And you're over here telling us how we need to take care of our
- 30:58house and potentially bullying us around.
- 31:01Is there any, is there any wonder think about this, Why
- 31:05would any of those countries? I'm just throwing this out
- 31:08there. I don't like it.
- 31:09I don't think you like it either, but it's just the
- 31:12reality of the situation. Why would any of those countries
- 31:16want to hold a material amount of U.S. dollars or U.S.
- 31:21Treasuries when they look at what's going on in the United
- 31:24States? Again we don't like it and we
- 31:27didn't cause it, but it's just the facts of the matter.
- 31:31They're looking and they're saying well you're not in a very
- 31:35your your your situation doesn't look too good.
- 31:38Even if we do hold your treasuries or we do hold your
- 31:40dollars as a reserve currency, we're guaranteed to lose money
- 31:45right because it inflation it's the value of the real value of
- 31:49the dollars going down. Oh, and there's this other
- 31:52factor that we're not real keen on if we're Russia or we're
- 31:57Brazil or we're Argentina or we're China.
- 32:01And that is that you can decide on a whim because of what they
- 32:06what what is commonly referred to as the weaponization of the
- 32:09US dollar to seize our assets from us.
- 32:13Is it any wonder that they're that the world is bifurcating
- 32:16and that those countries are working together now to say we
- 32:21didn't want to do this, It was kind of nice while it worked,
- 32:24but now we don't think we want to play with you anymore.
- 32:29And when it comes to silver and it comes to gold and you're
- 32:33talking about this bifurcation and you're talking about over
- 32:37half of the world's population and you're talking about massive
- 32:43amount of economy and you're talking about growing economies
- 32:47and and double, double kicker. I like to we like to talk about
- 32:52the ick where if we just talk about two of those countries,
- 32:55India and China, right, 2.8 billion people like 9 times what
- 33:01we have in the United States, their economies are expanding.
- 33:05Oh, and their middle class, what's going on in the United
- 33:09States. Thank you, Jim.
- 33:10Thank you for that super chat. Thank you.
- 33:13Thank you. What's going on in the United
- 33:14States. Our middle class is getting
- 33:16annihilated thanks to. I can't, I'm sorry, I just got
- 33:21to say it. Thanks to Bidenomics, right.
- 33:23India and China, massive population growing, economy
- 33:27growing middle class. Oh, and by the way, I'm just
- 33:32going to leave you watch there at the barrel.
- 33:34Talk to you by the way, By the way, Henry, all those things I
- 33:40talked about about just India and China, the people in those
- 33:43countries, they also love precious metals.
- 33:47I heard last night that since 1995, there's been 45,000 metric
- 33:52tons of gold that has moved from the West to the East.
- 33:59America's screwed up. You didn't cause it.
- 34:02I didn't cause it. The world seems to be
- 34:05recognizing that. OK, I'm sorry.
- 34:09I don't like it again. I know I say that 15 times.
- 34:13I'm an American patriot, right? I love my country.
- 34:16I don't love what some of the decisions that our leaders have
- 34:19made over the last several decades.
- 34:21The world doesn't like it either.
- 34:25Yeah, and when we look at gold and silver right now, don't
- 34:28forget, don't forget, don't forget they used to base the
- 34:33money in the United States up till 1971 on gold and silver.
- 34:37And suddenly that became a bad idea.
- 34:40But the world has valued gold and silver for thousands and
- 34:43thousands of years as a base, as a tether.
- 34:47Thank you for that super chat. My friend split.
- 34:50I can't read it. Splits, splits.
- 34:52Split splits in truth. Thousands of years.
- 34:56What's in truth, right? Gold and silver been valuable.
- 35:00Has always been the base of money.
- 35:04And I think it's funny, I like to throw this out.
- 35:07It's not just us. And it's not just a belief.
- 35:11Those are facts. Those are hard facts.
- 35:14But I love to throw this one out.
- 35:15What do you think? What if I told you that there
- 35:17was a Federal Reserve economist, right?
- 35:20A long time, and he didn't die that long ago who thought the
- 35:25same darn thing, huh? How would you feel about that?
- 35:30But suddenly, just here in the last 50 years, everything's out
- 35:32the window. Yeah, whatever.
- 35:34You know, all kinds of stuff's been thrown out the window.
- 35:37We won't go down that rabbit hole.
- 35:39But John Exter, who developed Exter's Pyramid, the upside down
- 35:43pyramid that shows that gold and silver, the base of real money.
- 35:46He was from the Federal Reserve. He believed it as well.
- 35:50It's going to be interesting. the Fed is out of ammo,
- 35:55unfortunately. Right?
- 35:57The numbers don't lie, right? The Power of Mathematics.
- 36:01Mathematics Show NO00. Mathematics show 0.
- 36:08Forgiveness on the altar of truth.
- 36:10There's no subjectivity. There's no judgment call as to
- 36:14whether or not 8 + 8 = 16. There's no judgment call
- 36:19regarding whether or not $33 trillion in debt is a problem
- 36:26and a $1.4 trillion deficit is a problem.
- 36:31And a $1 trillion annual and growing interest expense for our
- 36:37government, which just adds more to the national debt, which adds
- 36:40more to the interest expense. That right, there's no judgment
- 36:44call on that. That's that's numbers, that's
- 36:47hard facts. Just like 8 + 8 = 16. the Fed
- 36:51may want to think that 8 + 8 equals, I don't know, 14 or 20.
- 36:56But no math shows no forgiveness on the altar of truth.
- 36:59That's the that's the the reality.
- 37:02Hey, if you want to protect yourself with some gold and
- 37:05silver and if you like mining stocks, please our other
- 37:09sponsor, First Mining Gold Company, started by Keith
- 37:13Newmeyer, the founder. Go check them out
- 37:16firstmininggold.com. If you have any questions, reach
- 37:20out to their Director of Investor Relations,
- 37:22paul.morrispaul@firstmininggold.com. He's a great guy.
- 37:27He knows that company. The most exciting thing right
- 37:31now is they have a literally millions of Oz of gold in the
- 37:35ground in Canada. Two big projects, Spring Pole in
- 37:37Ontario and Du Parquet in Quebec, both of which have 5
- 37:41million ounces of gold in the ground already been drilled,
- 37:46already been defined. All that and they're actually
- 37:50exploring for possibly right? You never know with exploration,
- 37:53but possibly to find even more gold.
- 37:56It's a stock I've owned for years.
- 37:58I only take sponsorships. Same thing with PIM Beck's, with
- 38:02companies that I either own right?
- 38:04And I'm an owner of first mining gold technically, or that I do
- 38:08business with OK, I eat my own cooking, right?
- 38:11So just my opinion, I think it's a great value.
- 38:16Mining stocks are risky. Do your own due diligence, OK.
- 38:20But I think it represents a great value and I kind of like
- 38:23the fact that I own a bunch of gold in the ground in Canada.
- 38:26And by the way, they've got four other projects as well on top of
- 38:30those two that I mentioned, the two 5 million ounce projects.
- 38:34So check them out. Hey, be good.
- 38:36Thanks for being here today, you.
- 38:38I want to wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- 40:02place to tell them that. I heard about them from you.
- 40:04While I appreciate the thought, I don't get a Commission or
- 40:07anything like that on on sales, but I do like it when you guys
- 40:12tell Pin Becks that you heard about the company through Ron's
- 40:15basement. All right, guys.
- 40:17Bring it hard. All right, Jake.
- 40:22See you guys. Be good.

- 40:26we got some bright days ahead, months ahead for the silver
- 40:30price and gold price.
