- 0:00This is bad, terrifying, shocking.
- 0:04Look, guys, even Elon Musk is pointing this out.
- 0:08But the big question you may have is, are you safe with
- 0:12silver? Are you safe with gold?
- 0:16Are you safe with precious metals?
- 0:18Mining stocks? Do we care about our children
- 0:23and grandchildren, our neighbors?
- 0:25America, we are in a very, very precarious situation.
- 0:31Let's talk about it right now. Thank you for joining me today
- 0:43here in the basement. Yes, you.
- 0:45I see you. You're welcome here.

- 0:57scary. Please subscribe to the channel,

- 1:02Super thanks. Support is always appreciated.
- 1:06Let's hear what Elon Musk had to say and how that relates to your
- 1:10silver and gold. A popular recent quote, Elon
- 1:14Musk says federal government spending will bankrupt the
- 1:18country unless action is taken to reduce government waste.
- 1:23This is what causes inflation. And he pulled up this chart or
- 1:28retweeted this chart. Guys, this is astounding.
- 1:32This chart shows the US national debt from 1900 through 2020.
- 1:39This does not even include the astronomical growth in national
- 1:44debt that we've had over the last four years.
- 1:47But just even looking at this visually, we can see that the
- 1:52United States is on a financial path to possible destruction.
- 1:58Something needs to be done and needs to be done quickly because
- 2:01Elon is correct. This is what causes inflation.
- 2:06And it's even more stunning when we go to the US national debt
- 2:10clock of in the upper left hand corner.
- 2:12As I'm recording this on September 23rd, 2024, we are
- 2:17approaching 35 trillion, 400 billion in U.S.
- 2:23National debt as you can see in the upper left corner.
- 2:26But remember, when we follow the arrow down to interest on debt,
- 2:32we're approaching 1 billion per year in interest expense alone.
- 2:38Remember my fellow Americans, you get nothing in return for
- 2:43this almost 1 trillion and growing dollars that's used just
- 2:49to pay the interest on the national debt that your
- 2:52politicians in Washington have wrapped up while making poor
- 2:57financial decisions. But think about this.
- 3:00That interest on the debt follow the next arrow that feeds into
- 3:04the US federal budget deficit, which is at almost $2 trillion.
- 3:10That makes that number bigger, which in turn then makes the new
- 3:15US national debt get bigger. And when the US national debt
- 3:18gets bigger, as it has been doing and is doing right here
- 3:22before our very eyes, that will make the interest expense get
- 3:26bigger, which will then again, make the federal budget deficit
- 3:30get bigger, which will then make the US national debt get even
- 3:34bigger, bigger. Do you recognize something here?
- 3:37It's called a doom loop, a death spiral.
- 3:41It means big trouble for those of us who are alive now, but in
- 3:46particular for our children and grandchildren.
- 3:50And Elon's right, that is the cause of inflation.
- 3:55But what really is inflation? I'll explain it to you.
- 3:58Right now, inflation is nothing more than the value of the US
- 4:03dollar going down down. the US dollar buys less goods and
- 4:08services because everything becomes more expensive.
- 4:11Now the Federal Reserve, they have a mandate to keep inflation
- 4:15at 2%. But even with their most recent
- 4:18half point rate cut, they basically telegraphed to us and
- 4:23the world that they're giving up on the fight on inflation.
- 4:27And why, you might ask? Because they need inflation.
- 4:31They need to inflate away the debt to make that cycle that I
- 4:36just showed you work to perpetuate the system.
- 4:40The only way it works is with a less valuable dollar.
- 4:43It's called inflating away the debt.
- 4:47Some people think that we're going to get to a point where
- 4:49the Fed will even need to monetize the debt, which means
- 4:53print money, right, make up new money just to buy the debt that
- 4:58the United States government needs to issue.
- 5:01Obviously that will dilute the value of the US dollar.
- 5:06It's like getting yourself 1/5 of whiskey coming home, pouring
- 5:09it into a great big pitcher, and then pouring another fifth of
- 5:13water in there and saying, hey, look, now I have twice as much
- 5:16whiskey. No, you don't.
- 5:18You've just diluted it by half. You've made it less powerful,
- 5:22which is what is happening right now.
- 5:24Like we just visually saw to the US dollar, the value of silver
- 5:31and gold will do very, very well.
- 5:34And I've got one more big point that I want to share with you.
- 5:37But before we do that, I want to say thank you to channel sponsor
- 5:40Pimbex Pi MB EX online bullion dealer.
- 5:46They make this video possible. If you check out Pimbex, if you
- 5:49give them a shot, I think what you'll find is great service,
- 5:54great selection, and just as important, a company you can
- 5:58trust and prices that are hard to beat.
- 6:01I worked with PMBEX long before they sponsored Ron's Basement.
- 6:06I was a happy customer. I'm even happier telling my
- 6:09fellow basement dwellers about the company.
- 6:12And I love to get the positive, overwhelming positive response
- 6:16from you when you have a great experience with PMBEX.
- 6:20So what makes this whole situation even crazier, even
- 6:25scarier, right then what we just talked about is that the United
- 6:29States, our government, has put us in this fiscal situation,
- 6:32right? Inflation, loss in value of the
- 6:36dollar. At a time when the world is in
- 6:39one of the more precarious situations in which we've ever
- 6:42found ourselves when it comes to geopolitical strife, when it
- 6:46comes to big sections of the world wanting to break away from
- 6:51the United States. If you heard of this little
- 6:54organization called BRICS. BRICS.
- 6:57And on top of it all, we have social and political strife and
- 7:02turmoil domestically in the United States like most of us
- 7:07have never seen during our lifetime.
- 7:09So I posed the question to you again.
- 7:13Do you feel safe with silver and gold?
- 7:16Hey, you need to answer that for yourself.
- 7:19I know that my answer is yes. Stacking silver, owning a lot of
- 7:24gold and silver mining company stocks, That's what works for
- 7:28me. You can use your own head on
- 7:30your own shoulders and find out what works for you.
