Martin Armstrong: The US Gov’t Will COLLAPSE, and WE Will Rebuild the Future America · Man in America Podcast

• 1:27
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Wilhaus. As the situation continues to escalate in The Middle East, All eyes are on that, but there's also other many significant things continuing to happen, like the absolute destruction of our southern border, the inflow of people, the tensions continuing between the western alliances in Russia and China. It just seems that the whole world is kinda crazy right now, and that that seems to be the norm. And so joining us today is actually one of my favorite guests and someone I find just unlimited wisdom from, and that's Martin Armstrong.
• 2:04
  So you are probably familiar with him. You've probably seen him on the show before. He's someone that I think is one of the top people when it comes to understanding not just geopolitics, but war and finance and the global economy. And so we're gonna be diving into a pretty deep discussion of not only what he sees happening in The Middle East, but how that ties into what's happening in America heading into 2024, but also where he sees us at in the stage of history and what he sees unfolding in the course of the next say five to ten years. And he's got some pretty strong predictions that he's making about just where the deep state or the cabal is and how it's actually in it's in days and how it is collapsing in that he goes into detail into why he actually sees there's a light at the end of tunnel and we just have to get through that.
• 2:56
  Also, before this interview today, I asked a lot of you what questions you had and one of the common questions that came up was, what can we do to prepare? And so at the very end of our conversation, he gets into some very practical advice on how to prepare and also, you know, into how the black market comes into play, especially amidst turmoil. So folks, please enjoy this interview with Martin Armstrong. Martin, it's always great to have you on the show. Thank you so much for making the time to be with us here today.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for inviting me. It's always a pleasure to talk to you.
• 3:31
  Seth Holehouse: Thank you. Thank you. So, you're one of the people I think of very quickly whenever there's any discussion or in the news of big wars, global economy, what are the ramifications? And right now, as we've witnessed over the past couple of weeks, there's a pretty significant war brewing in The Middle East with Israel and the Gaza Strip, and then Iran and all the other countries getting involved. And so I guess just starting kinda just with the with the more broad picture, what do you see happening in The Middle East right now?
• 4:07
  And is it something that your Socrates saw coming?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. We had forecasted this would all start, around this time for 2023. What you have to understand is that, in all honesty, I think we have these neocons. And communism fell all by itself. It was simply completely inefficient.
• 4:42
  It's like I've said, when I was called into China actually to try and help them become, more capitalistic, it it was they were monitoring everything, but they were not interfering. And they had 249 varieties of tea. And, you know, the questions that I had to handle were, very enlightening as far as that is concerned. You know, they were like, this one tea was selling for, like, a dollar here, but $5 over there. Where under communism, it's the dollar everywhere even if it costs you $10 to get it there.
• 5:23
  You know? And, you know, I said, first, you have transportation costs and things of this nature, and people will pay more for something they like. And it was like teaching kindergarten. It was very fascinating. So these neocons, all they ever want is war.
• 5:44
  And and honestly, I think that, I mean, I know some of them personally and and made for more than twenty some years. So I think when Khrushchev came out and said, we will bury you, you know, they got all riled up and and decided they're gonna send democracy to the rest of the world. Well, communism fell. The Cold War ended. Right?
• 6:15
  Neither China nor, Russia are communists. I mean, they have communism. Government owns everything. And and, you know, so, I mean, you have a lot of Chinese billionaires, Russian billionaires. I mean, that that didn't exist under communism.
• 6:38
  So they are still just trying to constantly create war that, you know, it's over with. Okay? Knock it off. You know, Putin is not interested in conquering Europe and and occupying it. We're not interested in in in occupying China.
• 7:00
  I mean, those days are gone. So, I mean, here with the Middle East, you even had, Putin come out and offered to be a mediator, you know, because this is really, it's against Russia to start another front, and these people are relentless. They know that, I mean, they don't even think things through. When they took out Saddam Hussein and I I know Bill Crystal who wrote the book to justify going into Iraq. This their theory was if they take down all these dictators, that the people will cheer for their version of democracy, which we don't really have democracy anyhow, and they would get like a ticker tape parade.
• 7:59
  So they took Saddam Hussein down. And then what did they do? They created you know, he was the check and balance against Iran. And then you had, you know, ISIS form, all these you know, he was not, one of these religious fanatics, and neither was Gaddafi. I mean, yes, they were dictators.
• 8:21
  Okay. But sometimes they needed to keep that that extreme religious sect, under control. And once you remove people like that, then then you ended up with ISIS and and beheading people and and all this sort of stuff. So now you have really excuse me. You really have Iran, you know, pushed into Russia's sphere.
• 8:54
  So, you know, this whole thing with Hamas and everything, it's it's really against Russia to drag them into there, and and they think, I mean, you can even Google it. I mean, Hillary Clinton even came out and explained it, and she's one of the neocons. Oh, you know, the way to beat Russia is like Afghanistan by attrition. Wear them down. And that was her idea for Ukraine.
• 9:23
  Of course, 500,000 Ukrainians are already dead. Almost 10,000,000 have fled. And now they're starting on, in The Middle East. I mean, there is no way that this was a surprise. It just was not.
• 9:42
  And I can tell you with 09/11, it was the same exact thing. The the first World Trade Center guys drew the World Trade Center on the wall of their prison cell with planes going into it a year before. They even prosecuted their lawyer, Lynn Stewart, and put her in prison for passing notes back and forth. They came down, took pictures, and everything else. And when they've created Homeland Security, they said, oh, well, some agencies knew but didn't share the information.
• 10:13
  That was the excuse. And this is the same thing. There's no way a thousand people can even join together in a group, you know, on the other side of the fence and prepare to come in without them noticing. I mean, it's just absurd.
• 10:33
  Seth Holehouse: Do you see this escalating into a World War three, which I think you could see with Ukraine, they were trying to get that to happen. They were kept poking Putin there hoping he'd use some sort of nuclear so that NATO could get more involved and pull The United States. You can see that, yeah, of course, like they're they're trying to foment World War Three. It seems like it failed with Ukraine. Do you think that with what we're seeing unfold in The Middle East, that this could unfold into a much bigger war where The US ends up getting involved and maybe Russia gets involved and, etcetera?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, this is this is the end goal. It is it these people just want war. And they're not Republican or Democrat. They're on both sides.
• 11:25
  Victoria Nuland has been there no matter what administration is there. Republican, Democrat, she's still there. Blinken is, you know, a full blooded neocon. These people, I don't know, they just, they want war all the time. Victoria Newland's, sister-in-law is the one running the, Institute for the Study of War.
• 11:56
  And all they do is put out propaganda. Oh, Russia's weak. Russia's this. Russia's that. And mainly so that you don't say Russia's strong because then why would you go fight them?
• 12:10
  Oh, they're weak, and we can take them down. This is all the propaganda. When I had put out initially that a hundred thousand, Ukrainians had had already died in the war, I mean, people were, oh, that's Russian propaganda. I said, no. My stuff is coming directly from Ukraine.
• 12:32
  And then, the head of the EU put it in her speech, and Zelenskyy made her take it out. I mean, it was, oh, that's classified information. You know, there he's drafting 16 year old boys. It's you know, oh, we're fighting for democracy. No.
• 12:53
  You're not. The Minsk agreement was supposed to be that the dumb boss got a right to vote. Period. And so they're not fighting for democracy. This is all, you know, propaganda on every which way you you look at it.
• 13:10
  And in The Middle East, on top of all this stuff, you have, the real zealots, which are basically just trying to I mean, they you know, look. There's nothing you're gonna do with these people. All they do is see violence. Okay? And I feel sorry for the Palestinians because, like, I get you know, I know people there.
• 13:37
  There's, like, 2,000,000 people, and they view Hamas as as thugs. You know? And they're just trying to use them as a shield. So they want, you know, Israel to kill as many as you possibly can. See?
• 13:49
  Then we'll get, you know, all the everybody up in arms, and we'll go you know, what is the end goal here? Do you really think you can wipe out all of Israel or force all the Jews just to leave the Middle East? What is the object here? It's just violence constantly. I mean, you're not going to to do that.
• 14:15
  You're not gonna eradicate Israel, and you're certainly not going to kill every Palestinian that's that's over there. So there's never a solution here. The same thing in Ukraine. You know, Zelensky refuses to even negotiate. So how many Ukrainians do you wanna kill?
• 14:37
  When is enough enough? You know? And I don't know. I mean, these people just there's no negotiation with them. And that's the real problem.
• 14:48
  Is. Do not see any, it's just hatred. I mean, in Ukraine, if you brought a bottle of Russian vodka to dinner in Kiev, it would be an insult. I mean, we've had employees both from Donetsk and from Kiev. They wouldn't even talk to each other.
• 15:12
  We had a conference in in in, Athens, And, the one from Kyiv went every which way because the the fastest route was basically from Athens to Moscow, from Moscow to Kyiv. Absolutely refused to go for even a connecting flight to Moscow. I mean, the hatred there is it's systemic. You you you're it's there is no solution. I've been to these areas.
• 15:43
  I've driven down the the West Bank. There is just this is just what you're looking at. And so it's only going to be war. There is no peace agreement that's ever gonna be possible. It's the same thing on the religious side between the Sunni and the Shiite.
• 16:05
  You know, the the the Shiite believed that the church should run the state and the Sunni does not. And there's no compromise between the two.
• 16:15
  Seth Holehouse: How do you think the timing of this now we've established it seems, you know, from, yourself and a lot of people I've spoken to and interviewed as well that this was a false flag event, meaning it was an intentional allowance as a trigger for entering into war, similar to nine eleven. Nine eleven became the great pretext for the war on terror and the stripping of our rights with the Patriot Act. So how do you think this and the the start of this particular war as it escalates ties into the timing of us entering into the twenty twenty four election cycle, for instance, as one as one of the major things. So, we saw that COVID just so happened to be released just in time to, you know, create the cover for the theft of the twenty twenty election. So, how do you how do you see this war fitting into the strategy of keeping Biden in an office and making sure Trump doesn't get into office?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's part of the whole thing. It's, I've I've put out for months that that, you know, they will create a war before the twenty twenty four election. They think, from their playbook, no president has ever lost an election during war. That's what they look at. Okay?
• 17:32
  It doesn't matter if he even knows his name. Alright? That's what they're what they're they're looking at at this stage in the game. And everything they do is always rigged. You take Dianne Feinstein.
• 17:48
  She was in her nineties, I mean, told, no, you cannot step down. You have to die in office. Why? So the governor can pick, handpick his own person, and they don't have to be elected. So every little thing they do is always about power and and and whatever.
• 18:10
  And, you know, I've said before, I had the mandate from Hong Kong that and I they knew I knew the government of Australia. So I met with the former prime minister Paul Keating. And I was trying to initially buy an island off off the coast. No. Everything I proposed, no.
• 18:30
  And I finally said, look, I've got a blank check here. I can pay off your national debt. Alright? No. No.
• 18:38
  No. And and I got so frustrated. He said, what is this? Is this racism? And he said, no.
• 18:46
  The issue was he was labor. And he actually said to me that the people fleeing from Hong Kong back for 98 turnover would vote conservative and change the politics of Australia. And this is what you're seeing with these migrations into Europe as well as into United States. These people are coming in and giving you know, I mean, somebody that's worked their whole life on Social Security will will get $1,500 a month. They're giving them 2,200.
• 19:24
  You know? Of course, they expect them to vote for Biden. I mean, that's what this is all about. They changed the politics. I I went through this.
• 19:32
  I saw it firsthand with Australia and Hong Kong. People don't realize, but these we are the people above are just absolutely evil. There's no other way about it. They don't care about you and anybody that that, you know, they really think that all of these people with the you know, they don't know what politics really is.
• 20:00
  Seth Holehouse: Hey, folks. I've got a quick message for you. So I'm sure you've heard a lot of people, myself included, talking about the importance of buying precious metals, gold and silver. But what's really behind that? Is it just a thing of, hey, buy this gold, buy this silver.
• 20:15
  Right? Or is there something deeper that we should be looking at? So I recently came across some figures about house prices. So in 1930, the average family home was approximately $4,000. Fast forward to 2023, the average family home is just over $400,000.
• 20:32
  So you have to ask yourself, why is that? Is it because things have just gotten more expensive? No, it's actually because the dollar has lost 99% of its value since 1930. Right? When people talk about the collapse of the dollar or inflation, this is what it means.
• 20:46
  Now, let's take a look at gold. So in 1930, if you wanted to purchase your home in gold, it would take approximately 200 gold coins. So 200 gold coins would purchase the average family home in 1930, about $4,000. Now, if you instead of buying a home with that gold or cash, you set those aside. If you set aside $4,000 in cash in 1930, it would be worth $4,000 today.
• 21:13
  What can you buy with $4,000? Can you buy a family home? No, you can't even buy a crappy used car. But if you set aside $4,000 worth of gold coins in 1930, which is 200 gold coins, 1 ounce coins, that would be worth approximately $400,000 today. And this is the key lesson about precious metals.
• 21:34
  It's not about getting rich. It's about putting your money into an asset that protects you against inflation and against the destruction of the currency, which is what happens to all fiat currencies, especially now we're in the end days of the dollar. And so that's why it's important, maybe not all of your money, but a portion of your money, a portion of what you have, I highly recommend putting it into precious metals of gold and silver because what it's doing is it's protecting you. This is an asset that has stood the test of time, not just stood the test of time since the 1930s, we're talking about the rise and fall of civilizations. Gold was used to buy houses back in ancient Rome.
• 22:14
  It's still around. It's an asset that will forever have its value. So folks, if you want to do this and you need someone you can trust, there's no person I can recommend more than Doctor. Kirk Elliott. He's a very good friend of mine.
• 22:26
  He's a strong Christian patriot, and he's out to really help people to protect their savings and what you've worked for against the destruction of the dollar, not to mention also protecting it against the dangers of a central bank digital currencies.

• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can run for office and say, vote for me. I'll save the whales. You know, whatever you wanna hear, I'll I'll I'll tell you. And then you get there and they say, okay. That's very nice.
• 23:19
  There's a meeting and all newbies come in and say, okay, now this is how it works. You will vote according to party line. So whatever you ran for, that's very nice. Just say whatever you need to to get here. You cannot make a motion on the floor.
• 23:37
  All motions must come from committee. Now who decides the committee? The head of that party. Okay? So if you don't play ball, you don't get on one of those important committees.
• 23:51
  It is so rigged in every which possible way. You know? And then to have the audacity to say that, oh, we live in a democracy. We do not. Alright?
• 24:03
  Or or we ask, should we go to war against Russia? No. They just do whatever they want. Alright? That's not democracy.
• 24:12
  We have no right to vote on any of this. I mean, back in Vietnam, the big issue was, you know, you could be drafted at 18, you were too young to drink, and you were not allowed to vote. But that was democracy. You can go there and die for your country. You know, you know, this is just such nonsense.
• 24:33
  We live in a republic, which is always historically the most corrupt form of government on the face of the earth. That's why Caesar crossed the Rubicon. Caesar was not this ruthless dictator or whatever. I mean, that was the fake news of Cicero basically trying to to trash him. And all you gotta look at is when Caesar crossed the Rubicon, all the cities cheered and they opened their gates.
• 24:57
  It was the Senate that fled to Asia. Alright? I don't think that was you know, Cicero and those boys were doing a very good job. You know? They had no support from the people.
• 25:12
  And we're back to that again. We need our, you know, eventually, you know, a seizure that crossed the Rubicon today. And and then you would see the same thing. I mean, you're, you know, talking about confidence in government. It's just collapsing.
• 25:29
  The more this happens, it it's crazy. I mean, I've been speaking to a number of people from Israel, even military. I mean, there's even ex Massad that have come out all against this. They this is for this to have happened. You know, I've been told that people that were on the border were called away and reassigned two days before.
• 25:59
  You know, how you get, you know, and a thousand people across the border and nobody knows? I mean, if a cat touches that fence, they know. They have automatic drones, and then they say, oh, I I ran hacked that so so the drones didn't work because they would immediately shoot at something. No. They were just turned off.
• 26:28
  I mean, if Iran hacked that, then how come all everything else was okay if they were jamming it? Then the communication systems, civilly would have been disrupted as well. They were not. So, I mean, everything they say is just you know, they just assume we're stupid, will believe whatever they they they throw out there. And, that's the way it is, unfortunately.
• 26:57
  But, you know, our computer says that this, you know, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And because it's getting so corrupt at this point that even the average person is starting to notice. Yeah.
• 27:12
  Seth Holehouse: What is that light at the end of the tunnel that you, that you're seeing?
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: This is one of those periods, where we get to redesign government. The last one was a revolution against monarchy. And unfortunately, our founding fathers, they believed Cicero. And so we created a republic rather than choosing democracy. And part of that was Aristotle saying that, you know, maybe democracy is not so great.
• 27:56
  These people don't really know what they're voting for. And that's been around for a long time, his book on politics, which has influenced even, you know, Karl Marx. But, you know, we will get a chance to redesign government after 2032. This is all collapsing. I mean, what we're talking about now is just showing how desperate these people really are.
• 28:24
  Seth Holehouse: I see. So it's almost like what you're seeing as they're trying these desperate attempts to maintain power in the world. It keeps waking up more people to what's really going on, and that what you're saying is that their time is limited. And within less than a decade, all the structures that they've created, all the fake and phony governments and rigged elections and corrupt bureaucracy, all that will fall along with them. And that we, the people, that the people on this earth will then be able to build, in a lot of ways, almost a new civilization.
• 29:03
  Is that is that accurate?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, I mean, look, what they're doing to Trump, all of a sudden, said, oh, hey. That's a good idea. And they criminally charged their front runner in the opposition. I mean, this is spreading.
• 29:19
  I mean, it is not just The United States. I mean, Europe is so corrupt. You know, the head of Europe refuses to release her, emails with Pfizer. You know? How did you come come up with this stuff?
• 29:35
  You know, politicians in Australia have been caught, you know, taking $10,000,000 bribes from Pfizer. I mean, this is is just insane. You have, you know, Klaus Schwab who, you know, you know, I've known, I mean, for a long time back and forth. I mean, even when Nigel Farage came and spoke at our World Economic Conference in 2019 in in Rome, he stood up. He says, of course, I'm here.
• 30:05
  And he says, Marty is the alternative to Davos. It's it's just the way it is. It it it's these people Schwab is an academic, and most academics I've ever encountered are, oh, equality has to be fair. They're all communists. I've I've never seen one that isn't in that area.
• 30:38
  I mean, we're equal in rights, not equal in talent. You wanna give me, you know, $20,000,000 to throw a football and be the quarterback? I don't think I would be qualified. You know? We're we all have different talents.
• 30:53
  And and so one job, if there aren't that many people, you know, that can do it, is gonna get paid a lot more. Simple as that. It's supply and demand. And same thing if there is a great, you know, the drought and wheat got really, you know, wheat crops were all destroyed. Their price a week is gonna go up.
• 31:16
  You know? There are just certain things that are are fundamental. So we get to redesign the government. And, I'm hoping that, you know, this time maybe we will learn from our mistakes, and not just take, like, the fake news of Cicero all over public. Yeah, that sounds good.
• 31:42
  You know? Let's look at this a little bit, you know, more in-depth. And it's not, you know, rich versus poor. One of the best forms of government that I ever found was actually Genoa, where the head doge or, like, president rotated annually among the rich families. And the interesting thing was was that no family would then put in some law because that was detrimental because they were on the other side the very next year.
• 32:21
  You know, it it was an example of why career politicians are so bad. If they never have to be subjected to what we have to be, then no problem. You know? Yeah. Digital IDs, digital currencies, take it all away from them.
• 32:38
  They don't know what they're doing anyhow. You know, that's that's kind of their view. But, you know, Genoa was actually a very good model. And it wasn't rich versus poor. They were a city, know, competing against Florence and and and Venice.
• 32:59
  So everybody in the city benefited, not just the rich. It it was, you know, competing against another competitor, another city. So it it it was Marx that turned all this stuff into, you know, this hatred of the rich and and all this other kind of stuff. Know, sometimes, you you you know, that's why communism failed, that there was nobody there that was allowed to think, allowed to invent something. Everything came from the government.
• 33:36
  I mean, there is that movie mister Jones, which showed, you know, the, you know, the whole, you know, starving of of Ukraine and everything. Because communism, they seized all the all the farms. And then you had somebody like in the DMV deciding when to plant. They never planted anything in their life, you know, and everything collapsed. So then they went and stole the food from Ukraine to pretend that communism was working.
• 34:05
  I mean, this is what you're dealing with. Those people in in Washington are just they're they have no experience in what they're doing. I mean, we had some, you know, ancient Roman coins. And when I went down to the post office to mail one off, I put down ancient coin and ended up in an argument there. You can't send money.
• 34:29
  I said, it's not money. Okay? The government failed in 04/7680. It's money. I could not mail it.
• 34:35
  I had to take it back and call it an antique. Then it was okay. Anyway but that shows you the the mentality of the people basically in government. They don't have to think They, you know, if they had a half a brain, they would be getting a real job in the private sector. But this is the way it is.
• 35:01
  You cannot deal with these people. And I've been in meetings for over forty years warning them. And the reason we're going where we're going is because the monetary system is collapsing. And they've been borrowing for basically for forty years with no intention of paying anything back. And I've warned them.
• 35:27
  I said, this is not going to be sustainable. Okay? And then you have the neocons who could care less about the economy. All they want is war. So then they go and they threaten China.
• 35:41
  Oh, well, with Taiwan. Well, China is the number one buyer of US debt. You know? Hello? Don't you understand what you're doing here?
• 35:51
  You know? They did the same thing with the sanctions with Russia. Oh, we'll sanction them, take them out of SWIFT. That was a huge mistake because, one, it not only split the world economy in in half, but now you have China setting up its chip system. Even Iran has an alternative to SWIFT, but you send a red flag to all these other countries.
• 36:16
  You either do it, we dictate, or we'll remove you from SWIFT. And so you mentioned You can't do this.
• 36:25
  Seth Holehouse: With the financial system collapse, what do you see as the timeline for that? Because it's kind of been on the edge for quite some time, it seems. And then the second question is, you mentioned the government's being having collapsed by the early 2030s, and that's rebuilding. So, do you think that the financial system collapsed after that, that we will be the ones rebuilding? And perhaps, is it a some sort of gold backed currency, or, you know, so, like, what do you see happening with the the the timeline of the of the financial system collapsing and what do think comes next?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: We're probably looking more at the collapse by '27, '20 '8. That comes before. And the currency cannot be fixed, like a gold standard or something like that. And the reason for this is that there is a business cycle. Okay?
• 37:26
  And it's impacted by, just about everything, including weather. You know? So if there's a significant drought and most of the food supply is is wiped out, prices are going higher. Okay? So that's why you can't that's why the gold standard has never actually worked.
• 37:47
  Alright? Sounded nice. Brenton Woods. Okay. We're gonna fix it at $35, but it just shows how you know, what idiots we have for government.
• 37:57
  They fixed the price of gold at $35, but they continue to print dollars. Don't you think I mean, I think a three year old with a pocket calculator can figure out at some point, you're gonna have more dollars than 35. You know, it's not gonna work. And but this is the problem. You know?
• 38:15
  So it it can't be a fixed exchange rate. And that's why the euro, the same thing. They were retrying to to to recreate Bretton Woods all over again. And they came to me when they were doing that, and I warned them this is not going to work. You're just transferring the volatility from the currency to the bond market.
• 38:42
  I said you have to consolidate the debts. But, again, go back to how corrupt politicians are. At the time, the chancellor of Germany was cold, And he knew if he submitted it to the German people, they would vote against the euro. So he did it without a vote. And so what he did was, well, okay, fine, but you can't consolidate the debts because that would make me look bad.
• 39:12
  So you ended up creating a single currency with every country still having its own individual debt. So then if I'm an institutional investor in in what country do I buy in Europe? I can't buy a European bond per se. You know? And you go, okay.
• 39:30
  I need some Italian. I need some French. You're back you just changed you shifted the volatility from the currency to the bond markets. That's it. Nobody that I have have encountered in government, and either Asia, Europe, America has a clue about how the world economy really functions.
• 39:58
  They really just don't.
• 40:00
  Seth Holehouse: Alright, folks. I've got a quick message for you. I have one simple question. If today you could no longer go purchase more food for your family with the food stores that you have in your home, how long would you be able to feed your family? Would it be a week, three weeks, a month, two months, a year?
• 40:20
  This is a really important question folks that we have to be very realistic about because the elites are proactively trying to put us into a state of food crisis and a state of famine. I'm sure you've seen all of the different food processing plants and farms that are blowing up. You've got cattle dying by the tens of thousands. They're proactively trying to collapse our food system because they know if they can control our food, they can control us. And so one of the best ways to be outside of their control is to be able to have our own stores of food and to be able to produce our own food.
• 40:53
  So there's really two things I would recommend. One is having heirloom seeds that you can grow your own food with, making sure that they're non GMO heirloom seeds that that way you can harvest your seeds this year, use them next year. You can use these seeds for generations. Literally, it's how it will work. The other thing though is this high quality storable food.
• 41:13
  This is food that's sitting somewhere, it's hidden in your basement, buried in your backyard, whatever it ever it is. So that way if there is a crisis, if there is an emergency, you might have three months set aside to get through that time period. And so for this, I would highly recommend a company called Heaven's Harvest. This is an amazing Christian owned patriot company, and what they're doing is they're making high quality storable food. Again, lot of the food companies, they say these food buckets, they're all about maximizing calories per dollar.
• 41:43
  They're filling the buckets with a bunch of filler and junk like sweet beverages, etcetera. But Heaven's Harvest, they focus on very high quality food that will last up to twenty five years on the shelf. They also sell heirloom seeds. You can buy all of your seed, you can buy all of your restorable food. And look folks, personally, I would recommend having at least three months per person in your household, if not six months or even a year.
• 42:07
  Again, depends on your budget, but I'll definitely make sure you have some seeds because that seed those seeds could be worth their weight in gold, if not more in the future. So to go ahead and do this right now, go put up a new tab and go to heavensharvest.com. And if you use the promo code Seth, that's s e t h, promo code Seth, you'll save 15% off of your entire order. So again, the time is running out and you'd rather be three months or one year early than one day late. Again, heavensharvest.com and use promo code Seth to save 15% today.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: You take the '87 crash. I warned them, you know, in '85, you're gonna cause a crash. You can't force the dollar down by 40%. They're gonna sell. Why?
• 42:56
  Because it's worth 40% less. Alright? You just sold a third of the national debt to to Japan, and now you're gonna reduce its value by 40%. Don't you think they would sell? And it's like, a light doesn't even go on.
• 43:12
  Well, why would they do that? You know? It's like, oh, you know, it you you just shake your head and you just, you know, are the stupidest people always running for office? I mean, because they don't you know, and they wanna tell everybody else what to do. But it's everywhere.
• 43:31
  It's Europe. It's America. It's South America. Asia. I mean, I I I haven't seen an exception yet.
• 43:39
  Seth Holehouse: And so you mentioned so the the more of the global financial system crashing by say, you know, around '27. Do you see with the stock market, which has done quite well this year amidst everything, do you see the stock market crashing or having a significant change before '27? Or do you think it will kind of maintain its ups and downs until we get to that point? Or do you think do you think something will happen sooner to the stock market?
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: No. I mean, eventually this, you know, you have to understand. I know you have a lot of these people out there all doom and gloom and, and the stock market is going to crash by 90%. All they're doing is looking at the great depression charts. They failed to realize the Great Depression.
• 44:26
  Why did that happen? The US had a balanced budget. Europe all defaulted on its debt in 1931. The US dollar was the only game in town. So, yes, they bought government treasuries.
• 44:40
  Alright? Ask yourself today. When the problem is the government and not the private sector, are you gonna sell all your equities and buy, you know, US treasury bonds from Biden? You know? So this is the opposite of '29.
• 45:02
  This time it's the government in trouble and not the private sector. So what you're looking at is effectively, private assets rising. That's why real estate has been going crazy. I mean, I'm down here in Florida, and it is not backed off at all. I still get calls, you know, two or three times a week.
• 45:27
  Gee. You wanna sell your house? I said, yeah. No. Thanks.
• 45:30
  Where am I gonna go? Chicago? You know? You It's I mean, this is it. I've spoken to realtors down here, and they said houses, 1 to 5,000,000, they're selling for cash.
• 45:44
  They don't care about the mortgages. So it's clearly a lot of people are taking money and just putting it in various different things to get off the grid.
• 45:56
  Seth Holehouse: And what how do you think that relates to precious metals and what do you see happening with precious metals?
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: What you're looking at, what is really behind the rise in precious metals has got nothing to do with inflation. Look. Inflation went up for nineteen years after 1980, and gold went down for nineteen years. Alright? It's a matter of confidence.
• 46:24
  Gold had gone from a hundred to 400 between '76 to December of seventy nine. It went from 400 to $8.75 in the last six weeks. Why? That's when Russia invaded Afghanistan. Alright?
• 46:40
  So you buy gold when there is uncertainty and your your confidence in government is declining. That's why gold has been pushing up. It made three runs up there. The fourth time it's gonna make, it it will go through. But the catalyst has got nothing to do with the Fed, nothing to do with interest rates, nothing to do with inflation.
• 47:04
  All that is nonsense. It is when you suddenly, you know, wake up and say, I don't trust anything these people say. And we're not talking about, you know, typically the investor, the gold bug, etcetera. They already know this stuff. Alright?
• 47:22
  We're talking about the average person. Alright? It's that's what's gonna make that run through the fourth time. Alright? When they start saying, wait a minute.
• 47:34
  What's going on here? Questioning everything. You're starting to get it with, you know, this is Israeli attack. Ukraine, I mean, some peep there are people now starting to talking about, you know, the Ukraine is just like, okay. Fine.
• 47:51
  We've been doing this for a long time. It's kinda getting boring at this stage. So, you're talking about the average person suddenly saying, hey, something's not right. And that's what we're looking at. That's what it looks like, particularly after '24.
• 48:14
  Because '24, I mean, our computer has projected that it it doesn't matter. Nobody's ever gonna believe who this election doesn't it just doesn't matter. And that is going to be, like, driving a stake through the heart of, of of confidence, really. You you already have a lot of people that, you know, simply look at the twenty twenty election and see that it was rigged. The this one is you know, the next one in a row that's that's it.
• 48:58
  It's it's you start you're gonna look at things, a lot differently after '24. And I think that's where it starts to go, and that's why these people are desperately trying to create war. They needed diversion, and they could care less how many people die. They really don't care about that. I remember watching a video of veteran from World War one saying that, you know, forty five million people died.
• 49:30
  He said we should have just put all the politicians in a room and let them fight it out, which is true. You know, Goring, when he was put on trial at at at Nuremberg, oh, how did you convince all the German people? He says, that's no big deal. Just call me on patriots. This you're gonna be attacked, whatever.
• 49:54
  And it's always very easy to to, you know, lead the majority of the people into something. And that's, you know, wasn't unique to Germany.
• 50:05
  Seth Holehouse: But it seems like they're losing that power and that control over the narrative, which seems to be one of the big changes, especially as you mentioned in 24 of people finally, you know, en masse, not the people like myself and yourself and those that are investigating and watching alternative news, but when the general public wakes up to this, like, that seems to be the the moment of of a of a pretty big shift happening. Is that correct?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, look, you have all this fake news now. You know, everything that they put out is nothing but propaganda at this stage. And, honestly, I think, you know, a lot of people are starting to wake up to that. And this whole cancel culture nonsense, and, oh, COVID, you know, taking people off.
• 50:59
  I mean, I know too many people that have been seriously injured by COVID and died. I mean, even my my lawyer got the vaccine so we could fly, ended up getting the blood clots, now we can't fly. You know, twenties it it seems to be the ones in the twenties have died from the heart problems. There's a girl that lives next to me, and she had COVID, got vaccinated. So she'd go on a family cruise, and then the very next day took her out of here in an ambulance.
• 51:32
  She at least survived, but she you know, it, you know, that has disturbed a lot of people. And so the COVID, people are beginning to realize that, you know, that was ridiculous. And it was overdone from a standpoint of, you know, people that were dying of the flu normally were, you know, attributed COVID. You know? I mean, it was a joke.
• 52:01
  A guy jumped out of an airplane, forgot his his, parachute, you know, and he but he had COVID, so he died of COVID. You know? But, I mean, so that was part of it. Then you take the this whole cancel culture. Going after Trump is I mean, I have clients overseas.
• 52:18
  They say, what is going on in America? You people who have succeeded in in in making it you and United States Guatemala. You know? It's just absurd. I mean, the whole, you know, Russiagate stuff.
• 52:37
  I mean, I was in the middle of that back then. They were trying to get me to to put in money to this hermitage capital so they could take over Russia. I've refused. I mean, they were rigging the the Russian two thousand election. And that's when Yeltsin turned to Putin, and that's how Putin even got in.
• 52:57
  And that's why Hillary blamed Putin because she's, oh, he interfered in my election for a payback. The the stuff that's been going on is just it's off the charts. It really is off the charts. So you're looking at the collapse in confidence of government. And that, I think, looks like the twenty twenty four election is gonna be the final nail in the coffin.
• 53:21
  And then after that, I mean, look. You got people, you know, doing three to five years in prison for taking a selfie in in in the Capitol Building on January 6. That's absolutely ridiculous. And it's but this is what we're facing. It's just absolute sheer tyranny.
• 53:45
  And, I mean, you had, you know, Dianne Feinstein call Edward Snowden a traitor. How is he a traitor by telling us that the government is illegally listening to our our so who is the sovereign? It's not the people, government, other people, by the people. It's either you know, it's you. So how you know, he wasn't a traitor to the people, only a traitor to the politicians.
• 54:12
  Seth Holehouse: And so with the collapse in confidence after 2024, which, you know, eventually, as your timeline goes, leads to the collapse in in governments heading into the end of the decade. Do you foresee after 2024, say '25, '20 '6, etc, are those times that you see as being great turmoil on American soil?
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Globally. We're we're looking at World War, most likely by, you know, I would say certainly by '25 starting. These people I mean, you even take Taiwan. There was the one China policy. So we we tended to agree as there's only one China.
• 55:03
  And it was just maybe you know? And China was satisfied with that. They didn't need to go into Taiwan. Then all of a sudden, you get, no. We're gonna defend Taiwan.
• 55:13
  Now you're slapping them in the face. Now they have to go. It's you know, this is the same nonsense. I mean, what they did is Saddam Hussein. They think you take them out and you go in and the people will cheer, you know, get a ticker tape parade.
• 55:32
  Didn't happen. Alright? Tony Blair, you can Google it on YouTube. His apology. Yeah.
• 55:38
  We thought we'd remove him and it got worse for people. They they dream. I don't know what it is. They just think that, they're they walk on water. You know?
• 55:51
  And but they I have actually heard them say that if they went in, removed Putin, the Russian people would cheer them. It's not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen.
• 56:03
  Seth Holehouse: Hey, folks. I have a quick message for you. Thank you so much for watching, listening to this interview. I have one small request. If you're enjoying what you're listening to, could you please share this interview with one person, just one person.
• 56:16
  Because of censorship and shadow banning, it's so hard to get this content out to more people, and the only way we can really do it is when you help by sharing it. So if you like what you're listening to, hit pause, share it with one person. It helps so much. Thank you so much. Shifting directions a little bit, so a lot of folks are really concerned about central bank digital currency and and concerned about, you know, the China social credit system being applied to that same.
• 56:43
  And so given all of this, we've talked about this a lot before, I think it's a really important topic. Do you what do you see the timeline? Do you think that they're gonna roll out and it'll succeed for some time? Or do you think it's just gonna be a failure? Or is it something we should be really concerned about?
• 57:00
  What's your what's your perception on CBDC?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look. That's the final nail in the coffin for total control. I mean, just look at what Trudeau did in Canada. Alright?
• 57:18
  He froze people's accounts who even donated to the truckers. Alright? That is showing you what these people really think of us. Suddenly, oh, no, we don't like Trump. So, and oh, he's charged with 91 felonies.
• 57:36
  You're not allowed to donate to him. This is what we're looking at, total absolute control. And they know that. The Bank of England was the one first articulating some of it. Oh, a mother should be able to prevent her child from buying a chocolate bar for lunch.
• 57:57
  So she should be able to control it. Well, if she can control it, so can they. I think you're probably gonna be looking at, the end of cryptocurrency. You may not once they put in the CBDC stuff, they will probably block you from even buying gold or silver, and go back to the way it was in the 30s. No, you can't, you know I don't think you're gonna come knocking on your house door and say, give me everything you got.
• 58:28
  But they will shut down any alternative. I know gold producers right now, they have to say, report to the government where every gram of gold comes from and where it went. So they're already doing that. So I I would say, honestly, they will probably prevent you from buying gold or silver under the CBDCs. So once that comes, I think that to them, that's gonna be total control.
• 59:08
  But that's gonna push everybody off the off the charts. And and that's probably I would say you're looking at '27, '20 '8. And it it's gonna result in a lot of civil unrest and protests and things of this nature. And then I don't see this form of government republics. I don't see them as lasting certainly beyond around twenty thirties where it's really gonna start to get nasty.
• 59:46
  And but after 2032, you know, we have to sit down and roll up our sleeves and say, okay. Fine. You know, we have to redesign government. And there should no be no possible career politician at all. A government by the people and for the people is only done by the people and not a career politician, because they will always vote against our our best interests.
• 1:00:20
  And I the main reason they I would say that they are against Trump, is the same reason they were against Kennedy. Kennedy was against war. I had gone when Trump was president. I went to dinner at Mar A Largo in March of twenty. And this and I've met so many heads of state over the years, but he was the first one that actually impressed me.
• 1:00:49
  He said he wanted to pull the troops out of Afghanistan, but the reason was, he said he was sick and tired of writing letters to their families to say your son died for, you know, god and country. And to actually quote him, he said, what are we doing there? They've been fighting over borders for a thousand years. What difference are we gonna make? You know, immediately, you had John Bolton, you know, coming out against him.
• 1:01:13
  When Iran shot down a a a drone, Bolton wanted to to invade Iran. These people just love war. You know, like I said, I think it's because communism fell. And to them, they're still the enemy. We gotta get them.
• 1:01:36
  Why? Because we always I grew up that way. You know? I I don't know. But they don't look at it from an economic standpoint at all.
• 1:01:47
  So No. We're going the light at the end of the tunnel is we get to redesign this, and we have to look at it carefully. No career politician, period. Taxation is always one of the number one reasons for revolutions throughout history. Biden's already preparing to raise taxes by up to $7,000,000,000,000.
• 1:02:16
  They're even talking about, you know, putting a federal fee to have a, a pet paying a thousand or $2,000 for like a dog license. You know, he's they're saying that, you know, dogs account for dogs and cats account for, 30% of of global warming. So, you know, they want to take our pets, they want to take the cows, we can't drink milk, can't have meat, and you know, you're going to eat bugs. That's about it.
• 1:02:50
  Seth Holehouse: Until we all say that's enough and we fight back.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Something. I mean, I'm not eating bugs. I'm sorry. Over worms.
• 1:02:58
  Seth Holehouse: So, we're coming up to the end of our time here, but I asked folks before the interview what questions they had that they'd like me to ask. And one of the most common questions was how to prepare? Because obviously, if you look at between now and 02/1932, life as we know it will probably change very significantly with a lot of turmoil. So whether it's financially, food, you know, homes, real estate, whatever it is, what are some of things that you'd recommend for people to make sure that they have what it takes to get through this time period to be one of those people that gets to then redesign what government life is like on the other side?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you should have at least a two a two year supply of food. Alright? And I'm not talking about, you know, filet mignons and stuff. But I mean, you know, boxes of minute rice or something. That things, you know, pasta that will that will survive for, you know, at least a few years.
• 1:04:03
  Mainly because you're you're you're looking at shortages. You have, you know, John Kerry out here, you know, putting out more propaganda saying, oh, farmers, they're 33% of global warming. We have to knock this off. I just googled it, and the EPA, you know, has the figure of 11%. So, I mean, they will say whatever they need to say.
• 1:04:29
  And they are going after the farmers, and they want to reduce the food supply. At the end of the day, they are, against population. They also wanna reduce the population. That's why war is so great to them. Kill as many as you possibly can.
• 1:04:51
  And, you know, I mean, even the Wall Street Journal had a secret meeting that they exposed to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett and how to reduce the population. I mean, these people are crazy. But second of all, there's always a black market. No matter what period in time we look at historically, a black market always exists. So what I would suggest is buying the old silver coins because you're also looking at, a novice.
• 1:05:28
  Alright? And there are videos on YouTube. They were offered a chocolate bar and a silver bar, they took the chocolate. Alright? Not everybody knows what it you know, how do I know it's really silver?
• 1:05:40
  You know? The average person would know a bar of nickel from silver. You know? They just wouldn't know. I think probably you're gonna see the best premium to the old coins 1964 or back.
• 1:05:58
  You know, they can look at it. Oh, okay. I know the date. That's good. Something very simple like that, and there will always be a black market.
• 1:06:08
  Always. I suspect it will be more on the gold and silver side. The silver coins are probably better for, small, you know, transactions. I mean, you're not gonna buy be able to buy a skinny vanilla latte or something at Starbucks with a $20 gold piece. You know?
• 1:06:31
  How are they gonna make change? So I would say the the silver coins, you wanna basically look at that and just stick them away and understand that when there is a black market like that, canned foods, things of that nature become money. In Japan, the government lost the ability to even issue money because every time the emperor changed, he would devalue all the money that was outstanding to be worth just 10%. And, oh, my new coins now are worth a lot more. Eventually, what happened, people realized, hey.
• 1:07:18
  This doesn't work. They wouldn't accept Japanese coins anymore. They were using Chinese coins and bags of rice. Japan lost the right to even issue coins for 600. You can go look at a catalog on Japanese coins, and there's no coins for six hundred years.
• 1:07:40
  I mean, that is a collapsing competition government that which, I don't think we're looking at six hundred years over here. But, we're certainly looking at a healthy period where it's going to take quite some time to rebuild confidence in a government. But that's what all this is about. The CBDCs, the cancel culture, they know they're losing. And why do all this crazy stuff, going after Trump?
• 1:08:19
  I mean, nobody has ever, going after, you know, the the head of the opposition. And you had the former head of, the CIA came out. I couldn't even believe it. He said, oh, Trump should be subjected to the death penalty for taking documents. What well, you know, I think Biden took documents as well, and and they were in his corvette.
• 1:08:47
  You you're gonna execute the president too? I mean, I I don't I don't know. I mean, these people are just they are the real terrorists in all honesty. I mean, I can't believe that, the former head of the CIA would even suggest that Trump should be executed. I mean I mean, it's this is what I'm talking about.
• 1:09:11
  It it there is no sustainable government anymore. It's just it's it's crumbling before our eyes. And I think the twenty twenty four election is gonna be, you know, probably the final nail in the coffin.
• 1:09:29
  Seth Holehouse: Which is difficult to accept. It's easy to understand, but it's also I I agree that it gives there is some hope for the future. And I think that as people have awoken how much evil there is in this world, we're thinking, okay, how can we get rid of it? And like, what I see when I hear you talking, it's like, well, they're kind of getting rid of themselves, and we just hold tight and stay strong and we're gonna outlast them. So before we sign off, I want to bring up your website just so folks know where they can follow you, where they can learn more.
• 1:09:58
  So this is armstrongeconomics.com, which is your main site for people. What can they find here?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Just about everything. You don't have to register. You don't have to put in, your your email. We're not tracking people. We keep it open for a, really as a public service, and we don't sell ads.
• 1:10:25
  So you don't have to keep clicking on things to get rid of them, etcetera. So it's we try to cover the entire world because we have clients just about everywhere. But, I mean, look. There is light at the end of this tunnel. And this is just simply we we get there.
• 1:10:49
  But to get there, you have to also go through the collapse. You know, we can't just walk down and say, okay, we don't like this guy. We're gonna create a new one. They're not they're gonna fight. Alright?
• 1:11:03
  This is this is a knockdown fight. That's basically it. So that's what you're you're seeing with these people that they are they know they're losing power. They know it. And that's why they're getting so aggressive and so hostile.
• 1:11:19
  And they lie about everything. I mean, you had Janet Yellen saying that, oh, we're we're gonna, you know, track $600 transactions on eBay to get the rich. I don't think Elon Musk is selling a used bike for $600. You know? I mean, it's it's just nonsense, all of it.
• 1:11:40
  And just understand this is what we're facing. Make sure you do have some food stashed away because you're looking at disruptions of of deliveries and supplies and things of that nature. And, I, you know, highly recommend, like, some silver coins 19 60 4 and before because at least you're recognizable to a to a 15 year old. You know? So I I think that's what you're really gonna look at.

  Be careful about the the cryptos because when a CBD comes, they're not gonna allow any sort of competitor. Cryptocurrencies, gold, silver, I really think that they will just block your ability to buy them as they they did in 1934? Not confiscate it, but they're gonna you know, if they confiscate it, it's gonna be from, banks and formal, what you would say is storage facilities. They're not gonna come and say, give me everything you have in your sock drawer, you know. But so I think you're kinda looking at that sort of thing.

  And the exemption before was mainly because Teddy Roosevelt was an ancient coin collector. So, throughout the seventies, you could buy a gold coin as long as it's dated 1947 or before. So then you had Austria and Hungary issuing restrike to their coins dating in nineteen o eight, '19 '15 so they could sell them to Americans. So there's always a way around different things.

  Seth Holehouse: Well, you. I mean, that's the message that I get is that really that we're we're witnessing the collapse of the cabal, the deep state, whatever it is, this this evil system, this evil empire, and that we just have to hold tight, be strong, prepare, We're going to get through it. And we're going to build something hopefully far, greater on the other side of it.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, it's, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It really is this type of the system. Just look at it. They're just getting so desperate because they know they're losing power.
• 1:14:07
  And, they're just not gonna be able to sustain it. Period.
• 1:14:16
  Seth Holehouse: Well, Martin, it's always just such a pleasure to have you on. I really enjoy talking with you. And I know you're very, very busy. And I thank you for taking the time. You're one of the top guests I have on it whenever I have you on the audience, just they love the interviews.
• 1:14:31
  It just goes far and wide. And I really just appreciate you giving me the opportunity to speak with you today.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Well, it's, it's always a pleasure. Like I said, we're we we just have clients everywhere, so it's more of a global perspective rather than just, oh, gee. What's the fed doing tomorrow?
• 1:14:50
  Seth Holehouse: You know? Yeah. Exactly. Well, Martin, thank you so much. Take care and God bless.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much. See you again soon.
• 1:14:58
  Seth Holehouse: Thank you. Alright, folks. I hope you enjoyed that interview with Martin Armstrong. And look, know it's doom and gloom, which it is and look, turn on the news, whether it's fake news or real news, and that's just the state of the world today. But if you take a step back and you look at things through the lens that Martin provides, I think a lot of reasons why it feels like it's doom and gloom is because we're witnessing the doom and gloom of the cabal of the deep state.
• 1:15:25
  We're witnessing the end of their empire and their empire is a lot of what we see around us, the structures, the governments, the stability that we see around us has in fact come from this empire that the evil has constructed. And so as that falls apart, we are going to see turmoil. But I really like his perspective and it actually aligns a lot with my perspective as well that on the other side of that, there's something that we can really look forward to and that I know that for my children and my grandchildren of the future, that I really believe we can leave a society for them that is far far better than our current society, even far better than our society has been for the past many, many decades, because this cabal that's been controlling our world has been doing it for a very long time. It does seem like they're at their end. It's also worth noting, I mean, you know, I when I asked Martin, for instance, his thoughts on preparation or his thoughts on gold or silver, I'm not, you know, editing anything that he says or prompting him to say something.
• 1:16:21
  I mean, he's someone that I I really give a lot of weight to his words. And so it makes me feel good because I know that, you know, two of my major affiliates and advertisers have been gold and food. And so the fact that I've as I've explained many times, like I would never recommend something to you that I don't firmly believe in. And I genuinely firmly believe in the importance of having a food supply and also having some of our assets in precious metals, again, for these black market scenarios, or so you can still trade for food and everything. And I've also before it's like, in the future, a can of beans could be worth more than 1,000 US dollars, right?
• 1:16:58
  Because that's just what happens in that. So if you have places that you can you're buying food in silver and gold, great. If you do want someone that you can trust, you know, I've heavily vetted Heaven's Harvest for storable food, you know, thirty plus year shelf life on a lot of their foods. And I really agree with what Martin said in terms of having a two year food supply. And I know it's a lot of money, and it might take some time to build up towards that, but even a couple months, six months, one year, I think in the future, it look, it's maybe a sacrifice right now, but in the future when there are global shortages, that food will be worth more than its weight and gold will be worth more than its weight in almost anything because that's going be what's going to help us sustain.
• 1:17:38
  And then as for precious metals, again, silver, which you hear Rick talking more about silver, which again is also what Kirk Elliott talks a lot about a lot. GoldwithSeth.com, that's where you can find a link to that if you want something you can trust, Doctor. Kirk Elliott. And again, Heaven's Harvest also, if you put in promo code Seth, that's me, you save 15% off your entire order. And so all the phone numbers, links, websites, etc, for those services will be found in the description below.
• 1:18:01
  And also know that whenever you use, whether it's Kirk Elliott or Heaven's Harvest or unless I recommend, it's a very direct way of supporting me and continuing this mission with Man in America to do my best to bring you the truth and do so in a way that is calm and cool and collected and hopefully doesn't bring too much fear and, trepidation into your life. So folks, thank you so much for tuning in to today's show.
