🚨SHOCKING🚨 China's SILVER Price "RUG PULL" on the COMEX... (Gold Price Too) · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD Meme Coin Investing & Global Economics

• 0:02
  Silver is at a major crossroads right now.
• 0:05
  We're going to look at a chart that will show you definitively
• 0:08
  we are in for the fight of our lives at $29.00 per oz in
• 0:13
  silver. What about $33 per oz silver?
• 0:16
  You want to sell your silver for $33 per oz?
• 0:19
  I'll show you where you can do that.
• 0:21
  And and on top of that, it's going to be real interesting
• 0:24
  when you consider that this place where you can sell your
• 0:27
  silver for $33, they're running out of silver.
• 0:31
  But let's go to the chart 1st and see why we are in for the
• 0:35
  fight of our lives. This one comes from our friend
• 0:38
  Oren over at the hold on a second.
• 0:42
  We're gonna slow down. There we go.
• 0:49
  OK, The silver hermit. Oren.
• 0:51
  Right. Silver's approaching A moment of
• 0:53
  decision. Guys, we are in a big fight
• 0:55
  right now. This is the chart of silver
• 0:58
  going back to March. Remember back in March?
• 1:00
  Let's take a, let's take a second to how do you feel when
• 1:04
  you remember that just back in March, we had silver around
• 1:09
  $22.00 per oz, OK. But look at this trend line
• 1:13
  going up, up, up, up, up. We can see right here.
• 1:17
  Not too long ago, what about a month ago, we were at $32
• 1:21
  silver, again, $32 silver. As you know, we've been at a bit
• 1:25
  of a downtrend. We did not.
• 1:27
  We failed yesterday. We failed to hold $30.00 an
• 1:31
  ounce. I warned you guys.
• 1:32
  I said I thought we could have a big surprise with the inflation
• 1:35
  numbers. And then during yesterday's live
• 1:37
  stream, we talked about the Fed could throw cold water on the
• 1:40
  situation. They have indeed done that.
• 1:43
  OK, Doesn't mean that everything's done, everything's
• 1:47
  over. It just means we're in for a
• 1:48
  fight right now to hold support right here at the $29.00 range.
• 1:54
  You see the red line coming up, the blue channel coming down.
• 1:58
  As you can see, $29.00 had been kind of a resistance level.
• 2:03
  Hey, look, if we get below 29, I'd said it a few weeks ago, we
• 2:06
  could go to 26. I don't think that's going to
• 2:09
  happen right now. We're going to be optimistic and
• 2:12
  we're going to believe basement dwellers that we can hold the
• 2:16
  line on the silver price at $29.00 per oz.
• 2:21
  Even 2850 per oz is OK, right? Let's go out and get an update
• 2:26
  on the price right now live. This is not the actual price.
• 2:30
  I need to press the refresh button.
• 2:33
  OK, Hey, not too bad guys. Gold is trading right now at
• 2:37
  2315 dollars, Silver $29.18 per oz.
• 2:44
  Thanks to our friends at Pinbec's where you, if you're
• 2:47
  interested in buying some silver, gold or platinum group
• 2:49
  metals, can get the best prices, best service and a great
• 2:54
  selection of metals. And if you ever want to convert
• 2:57
  all or part of an IRA into precious metals, you'll always
• 3:01
  find that you get more metal for your money at pin backs.
• 3:05
  Give them a try. Thank you pin backs for the
• 3:07
  quote as well. Let's go back here guys.
• 3:10
  So yesterday yesterday was a weird day.
• 3:13
  What, what if I told you that we don't even really have to worry
• 3:17
  about the inflation numbers. We don't even really have to
• 3:20
  worry about what the Fed says. We're going to talk more about
• 3:23
  that later. But I also, I forgot to tell you
• 3:26
  we have a big special guest today, Patrick Holland is going
• 3:29
  to join us. You know Patrick, right?
• 3:31
  He's been on liberty and finance.
• 3:33
  He's becoming famous and rightfully so, because this guy
• 3:38
  can share insights with you on the silver and gold market,
• 3:41
  things you've never thought of. Every time I talk to Pat,
• 3:44
  there's like a new just when, just when you think there may
• 3:48
  not be another light bulb in this head or maybe your head as
• 3:51
  well. Pat Holland can turn on some
• 3:53
  light bulbs for you. So we'll look forward to seeing
• 3:55
  Patrick here in just a little bit.
• 3:57
  Where can you? What if I told you you could
• 4:00
  sell your silver for $33.00 an ounce right now?
• 4:04
  OK, last night we had a big beat down in the silver price, right?
• 4:07
  But, but nonetheless, I want you to take a look at this because
• 4:13
  when we go to our friend the Oriental Ghost, he points out
• 4:16
  for us that, yes, last night AG, that's silver on the Shanghai
• 4:22
  Gold Exchange closed at $33 per oz.
• 4:27
  On the Shanghai Futures Exchange, OK, silver closed at
• 4:31
  3320 per oz. That's the physical market.
• 4:36
  I'm going to say it every day till the end of time.
• 4:38
  That's a physical market. That's not a make believe
• 4:41
  Unicorn fart dust paper leverage derivative market.
• 4:46
  That's a real market. But what if I told you that the
• 4:50
  amount of metal and you have to actually have physical metal to
• 4:53
  trade in the Shanghai Gold Exchange market, to trade
• 4:57
  silver, you have to have the silver on deposit.
• 4:59
  What if I told you at this market where they're selling
• 5:02
  silver for, if they're selling for $33.00 an ounce, wouldn't
• 5:05
  you think they'd have like mounds and mounds and mounds of
• 5:09
  it? Wouldn't you think that would be
• 5:10
  the case if their price is so unreasonable compared to the
• 5:14
  United States of America, where we're fighting for $29.00 per
• 5:17
  oz? Wouldn't you think that on the
• 5:20
  Chinese market, the physical market where they're charging so
• 5:23
  much more, $4.00 per oz more for one ounce of silver, that they
• 5:29
  would just have mount? No, because when we look at it,
• 5:32
  the vaults of the Shanghai Futures Exchange dropped to a
• 5:35
  new low and fell below 700 tons for the second day since 2020.
• 5:43
  Look at this guys. The red line is a chart of the
• 5:48
  amount of inventory at the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
• 5:51
  OK, look down, down, down. Despite.
• 5:56
  Doesn't that make you go huh? Like what Doesn't that doesn't
• 5:59
  that make you a little curious that if they're charging such a
• 6:02
  high price for physical silver in China, why is the amount of
• 6:07
  inventory they have available for sale going down, down, down?
• 6:12
  I don't know. I'll let you, I'll let you
• 6:15
  ponder on that one because it doesn't make sense, right?
• 6:19
  It makes absolutely no sense. But it does make sense when you
• 6:23
  look at it through the prism of the fact, right, that the silver
• 6:27
  price is blatantly manipulated in the United States and in
• 6:31
  London at the COMEX and the LBMA, those boys over in London,
• 6:35
  England, they've been manipulating the price of
• 6:37
  precious metals for decades and decades.
• 6:40
  And the East is taking control of the market.
• 6:43
  OK, so we're at this war. We're at a critical juncture
• 6:47
  right now in the silver market. Look, we could go lower, but
• 6:51
  remember this guys, right? Think about it.
• 6:54
  Think about it. It's funny.
• 6:57
  Almost. I mean, it's sad and funny.
• 6:59
  Look, I gotta, I gotta be honest with you.
• 7:01
  I have to give you a a confession, OK?
• 7:04
  I have more than half of my net worth somehow tied to the value
• 7:08
  of precious metals. So I eat my own cooking, right?
• 7:11
  I am. I am all in on the idea that the
• 7:15
  metals are undervalued. I know it's painful, and I know
• 7:19
  if we go to $26 silver, it's not gonna be any fun, but it's
• 7:23
  almost humorous when you really take a step back.
• 7:26
  You ever do that? Take a step back and look at
• 7:28
  what's what's really going on in the world?
• 7:31
  What are the real fundamental drivers, right?
• 7:33
  The solar demand for silver, the all the supply demand, just the
• 7:37
  whole big picture of what's going on with the BRICS
• 7:39
  countries, the fact that they still in the West are attempting
• 7:44
  to suppress the value of silver and gold.
• 7:47
  I mean, it's sad, but it's almost funny at the same time.
• 7:51
  OK, let's run over to our friends at the at the Silver
• 7:55
  Academy. This was from two days ago.
• 7:58
  This was before the even more egregious down, down downdraft
• 8:03
  in the amount of silver, physical silver.
• 8:06
  Remember the people that are selling it for this sky high
• 8:10
  price of $33 per oz, they can't keep it in stock.
• 8:14
  What does that tell you? Huh?
• 8:16
  It's kind of like if you wanted to go buy some hamburger, if you
• 8:18
  needed to buy some hamburger meat and, and, and the Walmart
• 8:22
  grocery store had it for $5 a pound, but the local ALDI had it
• 8:26
  for $4.00 a pound. But you go to the ALDI and
• 8:29
  there's no hamburger, right? Obviously the hamburger's worth
• 8:33
  more. Wow, what a horrible analogy I
• 8:36
  just gave you. I apologize.
• 8:37
  Shanghai bolts bleed to 8 year low.
• 8:42
  Vaults sink. This is from two days ago.
• 8:45
  Listen to this. What does this tell you?
• 8:46
  Vaults sink to a level where India could wipe out the
• 8:50
  Shanghai Gold Exchange vaults in one month.
• 8:53
  OK, silver bleed continues at a fierce and intense rate,
• 8:57
  draining the vaults to an 8 1/2 year low. 722 tons or 23 million
• 9:03
  oz. We know now guys, let's go back
• 9:06
  here real quick. We know now it's no longer 722.
• 9:10
  It's like below 680. I mean, it's just unbelievable.
• 9:16
  Now, keep in mind, keep in mind, just just one of these little
• 9:20
  things you might wanna keep in the back of your mind.
• 9:24
  There's been no significant silver discoveries on the
• 9:27
  planet. The world is running out of
• 9:30
  silver. There's another chart of the of
• 9:32
  the inventories. It's unbelievable here.
• 9:36
  Here's a great silver, starting to look very good.
• 9:38
  Let's take a look at this chart from Rashad, right?
• 9:40
  This guy's a very smart guy. There's that updraft we looked
• 9:44
  at earlier. There's that zone where we are
• 9:47
  right now, OK, And he shows it. Boink.
• 9:51
  Wow. He actually predicted the
• 9:52
  future. Boink.
• 9:53
  Boom. Let's hope he's right.
• 9:55
  OK, let's hope this level right here where you see that
• 9:58
  hourglass is $29.00 per oz that this holds.
• 10:02
  If we go lower, guys, it's not the end of the world.
• 10:06
  OK, I want to show you something.
• 10:07
  I see my friend Pat Holland is on.
• 10:10
  We're going to get with Pat in like 60 seconds because I just
• 10:13
  want to, I want to go out to Pembecks one more time quickly,
• 10:17
  and I want you to look at these numbers.
• 10:20
  OK? All right, Sure.
• 10:24
  Gold 2310, silver 29 on the dot. Wow.
• 10:28
  Took a little downdraft since last time we looked.
• 10:30
  Nonetheless, guys, we have $29.00 silver.
• 10:34
  We have $2300 gold. OK, all is not lost and I'm
• 10:39
  going to bring on. I need to put on my headphones
• 10:41
  and we're going to have Pat Holland on here.
• 10:42
  We're going to have some fun. Hello, Mr. Holland, and there
• 10:48
  you are. Hello, Pat.
• 10:49
  Hey there, Ron, good to see you again buddy.
• 10:51
  And hello to all the basement dwellers out there.
• 10:54
  Yeah. And on behalf of all the
• 10:55
  basement dwellers, thanks for joining us, Pat, you're always
• 10:58
  so much fun to have on the channel.
• 11:00
  We were just talking about the, the, the, the, the mini carnage
• 11:04
  that we've been having in the silver price.
• 11:07
  Any any insights, any thoughts you have on what what you've
• 11:10
  been seeing going on in the silver market?
• 11:12
  Well, the insights are, are are big picture, broad scope
• 11:15
  insights and that is gang. You have to understand it is
• 11:20
  literally their prerogative because they have control to
• 11:24
  control the price of silver. The reason being it is
• 11:27
  competition to the dollar. It is the only way to make the
• 11:30
  dollar look better then then, and I'm talking about not better
• 11:34
  than necessarily silver and gold, but better against all the
• 11:38
  other currencies of the world. This is literally what they do.
• 11:41
  This is how they do it, and they've done it for a long, long
• 11:45
  time. Long time.
• 11:47
  They, they, they've been at it. They do not want gold or silver
• 11:51
  for that matter, to do well. Do you think, Pat, that that if
• 11:56
  we, if we do broaden the scope and look, look back at history,
• 12:00
  though that history teaches us that gold and silver actually
• 12:03
  always come shining through in the end?
• 12:06
  Sure, absolutely. There's lots of examples of this
• 12:09
  if we could go through actual, honest to God history of
• 12:13
  economies in the world. Or we can even go to the movie
• 12:16
  The Wizard of Oz that tells us that gold and silver are the
• 12:20
  way. Gold and silver.
• 12:22
  Let me let me pull this up real quick and then we are going to
• 12:24
  talk about the way. But our old friend this is from
• 12:26
  Alan Greenspan and, and, and, and this tells us, right?
• 12:30
  A former Fed chief said this himself.
• 12:32
  He said in the absence of the gold standard, there is no way
• 12:36
  to prevent confiscation of savings through inflation.
• 12:41
  He actually said that in 1966, right?
• 12:43
  He probably changed his changed his tune a little bit later, but
• 12:47
  in his early days he was telling the truth.
• 12:49
  Yes, he was. And Fed presidents have been
• 12:52
  known to tell the truth about gold and silver before in the
• 12:55
  past. Of course, their mantra now is
• 12:58
  the US dollar. The US dollar and the Fed, by
• 13:02
  the way, it should be collecting gold that you would think that
• 13:06
  they would be collecting gold right now in the basement.
• 13:08
  And the reason being is because all the other central banks in
• 13:11
  the Eastern hemisphere are collecting gold in historically
• 13:15
  high increments right now. They have never collected as
• 13:19
  much gold as they're collecting right now.
• 13:21
  They have plans that include gold. the United States have
• 13:24
  plans that don't include gold. And that's literally digital
• 13:28
  enslavement through a central bank digital currency.
• 13:31
  Yeah, the whole, the whole idea of everything being based on
• 13:34
  credit, right. And the whole idea of a, of a
• 13:37
  dollar that under the best case scenario loses only 2% of its
• 13:42
  value per year really is, I mean, I mean, it, it, it's, it
• 13:47
  sounds, I feel extreme when I say this, but it, I just, I
• 13:51
  can't, I can't say any of the way it is like enslavement of a
• 13:54
  vast majority of the population, right?
• 13:57
  Like we're gonna pay you with these, with these, these, this
• 14:00
  paper currency that's guaranteed to lose value.
• 14:04
  While we benefit from, you know, we benefit from inflation,
• 14:08
  right? The wealthy, the ultra wealthy
• 14:09
  benefit. They, they don't call it
• 14:10
  inflation. They call it a bull market in
• 14:12
  the stock market or, or their, or their real estate portfolio
• 14:17
  does well or whatever the case may be where the average working
• 14:20
  person is, is is is can't even tread water.
• 14:26
  That makes me mad. Pat Yeah.
• 14:28
  And and here's the worst part. You know, this is campaign
• 14:31
  season. I'm not going to get all into
• 14:33
  politics right now, guys. I'm going to tell you, during
• 14:35
  campaign season, I have seen so many Missouri politicians
• 14:40
  literally tell, you know, the people in their messaging how
• 14:44
  much they care about the Missouri people.
• 14:46
  But I have seen these people up in Jeff City.
• 14:48
  I see what they do. Politicians, by it far and
• 14:52
  large, not all of them, but most of them literally don't care
• 14:55
  about you. They care about their job.
• 14:57
  They care about power. They care about money, that's
• 15:00
  what they care about and you can see it in their work when
• 15:03
  they're working in their state capitals.
• 15:05
  So don't be confused folks. You know, basically you're going
• 15:09
  to have to take care of yourself in this matter.
• 15:11
  You're going to have to demand that your state acknowledge gold
• 15:14
  and silver as legal tender in your state.
• 15:16
  I'm sorry, I tried not to get into politics because we're
• 15:19
  we're out of session in Missouri finally.
• 15:21
  Yeah, yeah, No, no, I mean, that's really the way that I
• 15:24
  mean, the, the basement dweller, the viewer who's joining us
• 15:26
  today, Pat is, is a gold and silver enthusiast, right.
• 15:30
  So they, they need to hear this and they'll benefit from hearing
• 15:33
  and, and I think most of them, I can, you know, this third person
• 15:38
  who's joining us right now knows that, yeah.
• 15:41
  You know, silver and gold are probably historically speaking,
• 15:46
  the best chance that they have at protecting their wealth, at
• 15:50
  protecting their family as they, you know, as they as they, as we
• 15:54
  go into the future, 'cause it's not getting any better.
• 15:56
  I mean, we could look at the US debt clock, right?
• 15:58
  I mean, well, let me let me back up.
• 16:00
  I wanted to throw something in here.
• 16:01
  You're talking about Missouri and how, let's say non concerned
• 16:08
  are most of our politicians are with the general population.
• 16:13
  I'm sure if we go to Washington, DCI mean it's even worse, right?
• 16:17
  I mean, they're not looking out for they're not looking out for
• 16:19
  the average person. Jerome Powell does not care
• 16:23
  about the average. And they'll they'll all say
• 16:25
  these things and you know, and and try to try to make everybody
• 16:29
  feel warm and fuzzy, but the reality is they don't care.
• 16:32
  And if people want to if if if their viewer cares about
• 16:35
  themselves and cares about their family, which they do right,
• 16:39
  Most of them are interested in protecting themselves with with
• 16:43
  things like silver and gold. And now there's some other real
• 16:46
  assets also. Yeah, nothing's more important
• 16:48
  to gang and I, you know that I used to do a lot of financial
• 16:52
  stuff, you know, on truth, money and freedom.
• 16:54
  But one thing that I've talked about is inflation is killing
• 16:58
  everyone's savings. So this is really important to
• 17:01
  understand. A lot of people who have
• 17:04
  $1,000,000 or so in their, let's just say their retirement,
• 17:08
  whether it be a four O 1 Kira or, you know, even a convertible
• 17:13
  life insurance policy. We could go through all of these
• 17:16
  aspects of things, gang, but they're all losing out to
• 17:19
  inflation. What is literally keeping up
• 17:21
  with inflation is gold and silver.
• 17:23
  If you don't have a very good portion of your retirement in
• 17:26
  gold and silver, just look at Venezuela.
• 17:29
  That's the future of America. It's unfortunate.
• 17:33
  Go ahead. Sorry, Pat, I accidentally
• 17:36
  deleted you for a second. Pat was saying look at
• 17:38
  Venezuela. That's the future of America.
• 17:41
  Yeah, I work with the the in the evening where I work, there's a,
• 17:46
  a cleaning crew of Venezuelans. Mama, she's in her 70s.
• 17:50
  Some people on the channel, I've I've, I've brought her up before
• 17:53
  and her two sons and their spouses, and it was absolutely
• 17:58
  horrible, right? And I have a chart somewhere I
• 18:00
  could dig out maybe when you're talking all behind the scenes,
• 18:03
  that shows the price of silver in Venezuelan bolivars, I think
• 18:07
  is their currency. I mean, yeah, it, it, it saved
• 18:11
  people's lives. And that's what that's what Mama
• 18:13
  says. She's like, you know, and it's
• 18:14
  hard for, but it's like, you know, gold and silver literally
• 18:18
  saved people's lives in that, in that situation.
• 18:22
  So yesterday we got a big, big news from the Fed, right?
• 18:25
  Was a big Fed day and Jerome spoke and, and now they're not
• 18:28
  gonna lower rates. Or maybe instead of doing it
• 18:31
  three times, they're saying maybe one time.
• 18:34
  Is it all just a bunch of BS? Pat, I, I, well, let me, let me,
• 18:37
  I'm, I'm just gonna say it. I think it's all a bunch of
• 18:39
  noise. It's all a bunch of BS.
• 18:42
  It's all a bunch of distractions.
• 18:44
  Why the Federal Reserve has become more of a public
• 18:48
  relations firm than a bank, right?
• 18:51
  I mean, they really have, right? And, and, and, and why have they
• 18:54
  had to become a public relations firm?
• 18:56
  Because they're, they're managing competence.
• 18:59
  They're managing, you know, they're not managing anything
• 19:01
  real. They're managing make believe in
• 19:04
  people's beliefs. And, you know, any thoughts on
• 19:07
  on that whole situation? And, and as you, as we talk to
• 19:10
  our viewer here, I mean, I know it's so confusing, right?
• 19:13
  Like the rates are going up, rates are going down, inflation
• 19:18
  and every and all this stuff. But at the end of the day, is
• 19:21
  it, is it just true that like, like the value, the real value
• 19:25
  of silver and gold are gonna, are gonna come shining through?
• 19:28
  It will, they always do and it it did give me the name of a
• 19:31
  country and they always do. In fact, gold and silver are has
• 19:34
  historic highs in most nations around the planet in their
• 19:39
  indigenous currency. However, there is something I'd
• 19:42
  like to ask you because United States is rolling something like
• 19:46
  $7 trillion worth of debt this year.
• 19:49
  And if they have to do it at the Fen fund rate, I suspect that
• 19:52
  we're gonna be paying about $1.5 trillion of interest per year
• 19:58
  after this debt rollover if they do not lower interest rates.
• 20:02
  Can the United States afford that?
• 20:03
  The answer is no. They will borrow more money from
• 20:06
  the Fed to make their interest payments on their debt.
• 20:08
  That's what they do. And so that borrowing more money
• 20:12
  into the economy will increase inflation, the very same problem
• 20:16
  we started this conversation with.
• 20:18
  It's a snaking its own tail and there's just no way out.
• 20:21
  Unfortunately, there really isn't.
• 20:23
  They can lower interest rates, gang.
• 20:25
  And by the way, it it's a very precarious situation for the
• 20:29
  Federal Reserve right now. We've been talking about this in
• 20:32
  truth, money and freedom since 2015.
• 20:34
  They're, they've painted themselves into a, a corner now.
• 20:38
  There is too much debt out there.
• 20:39
  And the problem is there's a lot of interest with that debt.
• 20:43
  The Federal Reserve does not print the interest when they
• 20:46
  print the principal. So the next following year they
• 20:49
  print more principal that's meant to have a dual role pay to
• 20:54
  help pay interest from the previous year's debt and then
• 20:57
  add more into the system that can be fractionally reserved
• 21:01
  through the commercial banking network.
• 21:03
  Guys, this will not end well. Now, am I saying it's going to
• 21:06
  all end this year or next year? No, I my crystal ball is broken.
• 21:10
  But I will tell you, I think it and Ron, you can correct me if
• 21:12
  I'm wrong. Is it a right around $7 trillion
• 21:16
  of debt the US has to roll? Yes, yeah, but I've heard
• 21:19
  different numbers, but it's a lot.
• 21:21
  And I and I, you said something fascinating, Pat and I want, I
• 21:23
  want our viewers to to to, to to consider this, OK, all this debt
• 21:29
  needs to be rolled. We have the 35 trillion in debt,
• 21:32
  right. So if, if the Fed, if the Fed
• 21:37
  lowers interest rates, let's say three times by the end of the
• 21:40
  year, right, and the, and the rate on the debt goes down.
• 21:44
  The problem is nobody wants it. We already have China, we
• 21:48
  already have Saudi Arabia. All these countries that are
• 21:51
  saying are, are selling our debt right now, right?
• 21:54
  Who's gonna buy the debt? Who's gonna buy a 30 year
• 21:56
  treasury note at a lower rate than it is?
• 21:58
  They're gonna be like, if you want us to buy your debt, the
• 22:00
  rates have to be higher, right? So then, like you said, the only
• 22:04
  option is for the Fed to come in.
• 22:07
  And I think they call that what yield curve control.
• 22:09
  It's what Japan's been doing forever now.
• 22:12
  And the Fed says, well, OK, nobody wants to buy the debt.
• 22:14
  So I guess we'll just make up some new money.
• 22:18
  We'll turn on the printing press and we'll buy the debt, right, I
• 22:21
  mean. There's all kinds of interesting
• 22:23
  mechanisms to make exactly what you say happened, but the repo
• 22:27
  window is a big one. These member banks, these big
• 22:30
  six member banks, you guys know them, Citibank, JP Morgan,
• 22:34
  Morgan Stanley, you guys know who I'm talking about, Goldman
• 22:37
  Sachs. What they can do is they can buy
• 22:40
  these bonds that Saudi Arabia sells and then they could sell
• 22:44
  it right back to the Fed. They'll buy it at, you know,
• 22:47
  basically a premium. They'll sell it back to the Fed
• 22:50
  for that same premium and get cash in return. the Fed is the
• 22:53
  buyer of last resort gang. This is called monetizing the
• 22:56
  debt. This is something Ron Paul has
• 22:59
  warned about for 35 years. It's happening right before our
• 23:03
  eyes, but the average American is far too busy watching what's
• 23:06
  going on politically, you know, basically in Washington, DC
• 23:09
  right now, rather than watching what's going on with the
• 23:12
  financial system. But I assure you, the actions
• 23:15
  being taken right now will cause a financial earthquake.
• 23:20
  And I don't know when it'll happen.
• 23:21
  But I'd like to float a theory with you, Ron.
• 23:23
  How about a Black Swan event so that the Fed has to lower
• 23:27
  interest rates suddenly. So for an unforeseen
• 23:31
  circumstance, something that happens in the next month or two
• 23:35
  and then suddenly they say, oh, because of this event that no
• 23:37
  one saw coming, we're going to have to lower interest rates.
• 23:40
  But guess what? Banks are popping.
• 23:43
  It's just not in the media. Banks are actually starting to
• 23:46
  go down again. And gosh darn if I can't
• 23:49
  remember the last one that went down.
• 23:50
  It went down about two weeks ago, but it was a fairly big
• 23:53
  bank. But there's a, there's several
• 23:57
  more coming gang. These banks are not going to
• 24:00
  stand the pounding right now. I mean people and, and by the
• 24:03
  way, people may ask why banks are failing, Most of it's on the
• 24:06
  commercial real estate side. Businesses are going out of
• 24:09
  business. The The new inflation is killing
• 24:11
  their business. So go ahead.
• 24:14
  Well, so, so, so and, and, and if the, and if the Fed were to
• 24:17
  allow interest rates to go up, right, which nobody talks about,
• 24:21
  but really that's what the market is going to demand.
• 24:25
  The market is would demand that. No, if you want us to buy this
• 24:28
  debt because nobody wants it and you have so much of it for sale,
• 24:32
  you have such a huge supply, nobody wants it because oh, by
• 24:36
  the way, we can work a calculator.
• 24:38
  You need to pay US 7 or 8% or 9% if you want, if you want us to
• 24:43
  give you money for 30 years that just that the banks are, are
• 24:46
  done. I mean, right, yeah, I mean,
• 24:48
  they're, they're already done right now, right.
• 24:51
  I mean from a if you weren't doing Disneyland accounting on
• 24:54
  the bank's balance sheets with commercial real estate and their
• 24:57
  and their treasury holdings, literally unrealized losses,
• 25:01
  Disney World type accounting, the banks are done.
• 25:04
  So if they did let the rates go up, then the whole, I mean the
• 25:08
  consumer everything, everything would just complete.
• 25:11
  The only thing they can do to perpetuate the system, I think
• 25:13
  we figured it out, Pat, is to print more money.
• 25:16
  That's all they're going to be. And and and devalue the dollar.
• 25:19
  That's right. That is the only thing the Fed
• 25:22
  has left in their quote UN quote tool kit.
• 25:24
  I love when they say that their tool kit, the tool kit is to
• 25:27
  literally, literally keep printing money and interest
• 25:31
  rates be darned one way or the other.
• 25:33
  They go up, they go down. It doesn't matter.
• 25:35
  They're going to print money. And The funny thing right now is
• 25:39
  they are not taking as much money out of the system anymore.
• 25:42
  What that means is people are not paying down debt.
• 25:45
  The reason people, entities, corporations, you name it, and
• 25:50
  the reason being is they can't afford to.
• 25:52
  Inflation is killing them. They literally don't have enough
• 25:55
  money to make debt payments anymore.
• 25:57
  And that makes what we call zombie companies, zombie
• 26:01
  corporations walking around, still operating, but operating
• 26:05
  at a net loss every year because they can't afford the interest
• 26:09
  payments. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did well
• 26:11
  during the zero interest rate environment, but the zombies and
• 26:14
  it's kind of like the United States government, right?
• 26:16
  It did pretty well during the zero interest rate environment.
• 26:20
  But the party is over and, you know, the only, the only outcome
• 26:25
  is it's unfortunate we don't like it.
• 26:27
  Look, we're both, I think you and I are patriotic people.
• 26:30
  I love what Andrew Jackson stood up for and Thomas Jefferson and
• 26:34
  these guys. But the reality is the value of
• 26:36
  the dollars going down. I mean, there's just no other.
• 26:39
  I mean, it's there, there's, there's it, it's, it, it, it,
• 26:43
  it, it sure. You know, maybe they could, they
• 26:46
  could inflate our way, which is what they'll try to do.
• 26:48
  Inflate the way out of it. Mean inflation's going up and
• 26:51
  the dollar's going down. And the value of gold and
• 26:53
  silver, the real value, whether you measure it in in loaves of
• 26:58
  bread, gallons of gasoline, how many ounces of silver it takes
• 27:03
  to buy a house, or, or if you decide to measure your dollar,
• 27:06
  your your, your silver and gold and Fiat dollars, it, it's going
• 27:10
  up. The real value of the metal is
• 27:12
  going up. That's right.
• 27:14
  And it also because of the historically high value of gold
• 27:17
  and silver in many currencies around the planet, it's creating
• 27:20
  an arbitrage opportunity to suck the physical out of the United
• 27:23
  States. Yeah.
• 27:25
  So this is something a lot of people aren't talking about
• 27:27
  right now. I believe in China right now
• 27:30
  silver is the equivalent of $38 per oz.
• 27:34
  Yeah, I think that's 3333. Yeah.
• 27:37
  Here, I can pull it up. Hold on.
• 27:39
  We, we, we looked at this earlier, but let me do this real
• 27:43
  quick and I can show you. This is from the guy, the
• 27:46
  Oriental ghost. He posts this every day.
• 27:50
  So right there is silver on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, if you
• 27:53
  can see that, 3309 and then on the Shanghai Futures Exchange
• 27:58
  30. What's interesting though, Pat,
• 27:59
  we were talking about this before you joined us.
• 28:02
  Is that the, the vaults over there that the Shanghai Gold
• 28:07
  Exchange is a physical market, right?
• 28:09
  It's not like the COMEX and the LBMA, you have to have the metal
• 28:11
  on in the, in the, in the, the inventory of metal, even though
• 28:16
  they're, they're the high-priced provider, right?
• 28:18
  They're $4.00 an ounce higher. The amount of metal in their
• 28:22
  inventory available is like plummeting.
• 28:25
  So, you know, I mean that. What does that tell you, right?
• 28:29
  Yep. That tells you if you don't hold
• 28:31
  it, you don't own it. And Chinese follow that same
• 28:33
  rule too. I don't speak, you know,
• 28:35
  Cantonese or anything funny like that, but I believe they
• 28:38
  probably have a saying that's very similar.
• 28:40
  If you don't hold it, you don't own it.
• 28:42
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to say one more thing
• 28:44
  about the about the Fed and to remind our viewer of this,
• 28:47
  right, 'cause even this morning Susie was watching the Today
• 28:50
  show and she's like, oh, I paused this for you, 'cause
• 28:52
  they're going to talk about the Fed, you know, and they had some
• 28:54
  person on there saying about raising inflation and raising
• 28:58
  interest rates and lowering rates and blah, blah, blah.
• 29:01
  I think it's so critical for us to remember the Fed's full of
• 29:04
  poop, OK? I mean, we can remember three
• 29:07
  years ago when the Fed said, oh, inflation's temporary O,
• 29:12
  inflation's transitory O, inflation's not a problem.
• 29:16
  And we all know how that worked out.
• 29:18
  And I want to point out, Mr. Holland, that, that, that the
• 29:21
  Fed had also been on their dot plot for so long that everybody
• 29:25
  talks about had been predicting that they weren't even going to
• 29:27
  start raising interest rates until the end of 2023, right?
• 29:32
  And we know that they started raising interest rates like 2-2
• 29:34
  years earlier and significantly. So whatever the Fed says, it's
• 29:39
  like, you know, they're, they're full of it, right?
• 29:41
  They also say that they're looking out for the average
• 29:43
  middle American, which, Nope, is complete.
• 29:46
  I love how they say that they're, they're data reliant,
• 29:49
  that they make their decisions based on data.
• 29:51
  No, they're decisions they make are really, really based on hold
• 29:56
  on to the seat of your pants. You know, there is a financial
• 30:00
  firestorm coming because of what we did last year.
• 30:03
  And we have to do this to avert, you know, absolute, total,
• 30:06
  complete disaster. That's how they operate, gang.
• 30:09
  They don't know what they're doing.
• 30:11
  You know, these fancy, you know, degrees, you know, saying, oh
• 30:14
  geez, well, we're smarter than the average bear, you know,
• 30:18
  because we have these fancy degrees and we're, we're the
• 30:20
  smartest people in the room. No, these guys literally it's
• 30:23
  modern monetary theory now, gang.
• 30:25
  It's not even Kansian anymore. Kansian is dead.
• 30:28
  We're monetary Monet, Modern monetary theory.
• 30:31
  Print as you go, print as you need it.
• 30:33
  That is literally the way the Federal Reserve is working now
• 30:37
  and believe a lot of western central banks are doing the same
• 30:40
  thing too. However, they're going to start
• 30:42
  doing it in Canada and Australia next year with their new digital
• 30:47
  currency being put forth by their central banks.
• 30:50
  It's coming, gang. Yeah.
• 30:52
  You know, and you and you talk about Pat, how how, how they're
• 30:56
  kind of flying by the seat of their pants.
• 30:57
  I think it's also critical for us to remember that we're in a
• 31:00
  new environment, a new, a new geopolitical worldwide
• 31:03
  environment. I mean, they had a hard enough
• 31:05
  time, right? They, they, they screwed it up
• 31:08
  real good. I mean, if they're so smart, how
• 31:10
  did I mean, a lot of what we're dealing with now is fallout from
• 31:14
  the 2008 great financial crisis where they just kind of papered
• 31:17
  over everything. If they're so smart, right back
• 31:20
  in 2006, 2007, when America was a completely 20 years ago, it
• 31:26
  was a completely different world geopolitical environment. the
• 31:30
  United States exerted much more control and authority over the
• 31:34
  world financial system. Why couldn't they see that
• 31:36
  coming? So now, right now that they're
• 31:39
  dealing with the ramifications of having never really dealt
• 31:42
  with what happened during the great financial crisis.
• 31:44
  We're also coincidentally in a new world, a new world
• 31:49
  geopolitical environment where obviously of the BRICS
• 31:53
  countries, you have different countries that are that aren't,
• 31:56
  aren't aren't just so willing to just go along with whatever the
• 32:00
  United States says. Is that is that safe to say?
• 32:03
  I would say so. In fact, you know, you could
• 32:06
  stretch that point out into many, many different arenas.
• 32:08
  But guys, I'm here to tell you the Fed literally is flying by
• 32:12
  the seat of their pants right now.
• 32:14
  And in fact, it's all looking out for the Fed and the six
• 32:19
  member banks. That's all the Federal Reserve
• 32:21
  does. They don't care about the United
• 32:22
  States government. And but I want to remind you one
• 32:25
  thing, we we have to go back to 2000 for this.
• 32:28
  And this was when Alan Greenspan printed up, I believe it was
• 32:31
  $435 billion to bail out the stock market.
• 32:36
  I don't know if everyone remembers that or not, but we
• 32:39
  had a stock market crash in 2000 and another one in 2001.
• 32:44
  And in response, there's something called the Plunge
• 32:47
  Protection Team. You know, there's the Exchange
• 32:50
  Stabilization Fund. These are both arms of the
• 32:53
  Treasury. They're not official, but they
• 32:57
  are unofficial ways of actually stabilizing the economy when
• 33:00
  there's a stock market crash. Now, here's what Greenspan did.
• 33:05
  Because the NASDAQ took such a massive hit, he printed up some
• 33:09
  435 billion with AB dollars. Back then.
• 33:12
  That was a lot of money gang, by the way, but he printed up that
• 33:17
  much money. And that's what led to the
• 33:19
  housing crisis in 2008 because even though that money was
• 33:23
  placed into the stock market, it eventually got fractionally
• 33:26
  reserved into something, you know, akin to about $6 trillion,
• 33:30
  six trillion with AT so 435 billion became, you know,
• 33:36
  trillions of dollars. And that went into real estate
• 33:38
  because when the Federal Reserve prints money, that money sloshes
• 33:42
  around the system looking for a home and it inflates markets.
• 33:46
  And that's exactly what Greenspan did that caused the
• 33:49
  2008 crisis. And then what they did, to quote
• 33:52
  UN quote, you know, treat the the symptoms, the problems of
• 33:56
  2008 was to bail out the banks, the very same entities that
• 34:01
  caused the problem in the 1st place.
• 34:04
  Is there another Black Swan coming like 2008?
• 34:07
  I don't know, but I'm telling you if if the Fed has to roll
• 34:13
  over its debt at what is the Fed funds rate right now?
• 34:16
  5.25 Ron. At 5.25.
• 34:19
  Yep, If the Fed, literally, or I'm sorry, the federal
• 34:22
  government has to roll over its debt at 5.25% interest, I'm
• 34:26
  telling you, gang, you'll see it in the debt clock next year.
• 34:29
  It'll be pretty stark. You're going to see the interest
• 34:32
  that we're paying on the debt, which is really about a trillion
• 34:35
  dollars, are getting really close to it per year.
• 34:38
  You'd have to collect a trillion dollars from you and me, Ron and
• 34:41
  all the citizens every year just to pay interest on the debt.
• 34:45
  This doesn't even hit the principal.
• 34:47
  It'll go up to 1.5 trillion, another $500 billion if as they
• 34:52
  roll over 7 trillion of debt at the today's interest rates.
• 34:56
  Yeah, it's a, it's a debt spiral.
• 34:58
  I mean, and you and I and I and I agree with you.
• 35:01
  I think, you know, obviously the Fed's not going to let on to the
• 35:04
  fact that that they're in crisis mode, but I believe they are in
• 35:07
  crisis mode. I think, you know, I think from
• 35:10
  a number, from a geopolitical perspective and also just from a
• 35:14
  pure mathematical perspective with the amount of debt that
• 35:17
  they have that that they are in absolute crisis mode.
• 35:22
  Knowing that, I mean, Jerome's in a box, right?
• 35:25
  I've got a box down here with Jerome in it.
• 35:27
  I mean, they are in, in big, big trouble and you know, and I
• 35:33
  think the world knows that as well, you know, and I think it's
• 35:36
  true what you, I, I agree with you about the fact that all this
• 35:40
  printed money had to find a home really since 2008, right, is
• 35:44
  what you said. And, and all that money that's
• 35:47
  been fractionally reserved. And then you look at what
• 35:49
  happened during the C19 crisis and the amount of money that was
• 35:52
  printed then where did it go? Well, it went to my house, went
• 35:56
  up two times. Supposedly my house has worked
• 35:58
  twice as much as it was four years ago.
• 36:02
  I mean, are you kidding me? Right.
• 36:04
  I mean, and oh, by the way, a loaf of bread cost about twice
• 36:06
  as much as it did four years ago.
• 36:08
  And, you know, everything's gone up.
• 36:11
  So. And, and then on top of that,
• 36:13
  though, I think the biggest bubble of all that nobody that,
• 36:16
  you know, everybody, nobody really is the general stock
• 36:19
  market, right? These unbelievable valuations in
• 36:23
  the stock market, the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, and, and I mean,
• 36:28
  are, are people just asleep? I mean, and, and you like to use
• 36:32
  this word nominal confusion, right?
• 36:34
  Like people, I mean, people are like, oh, well, you know, I just
• 36:37
  put money in the stock market and it goes up and up and up.
• 36:40
  And, and I don't care if I, if I, if it's down, 'cause I know
• 36:43
  it always comes back because that's all it's done for the
• 36:45
  last, what, almost 20 years, right?
• 36:47
  You just put money in the stock market and magically it becomes
• 36:51
  more money. But that could change, right?
• 36:53
  I mean, that could that could come to an abrupt ending.
• 36:57
  Yes, it could. And abrupt is the proper word
• 37:00
  here because we've seen the abrupt ending of of a bull
• 37:04
  market before 1987. I mean, I was alive to see that
• 37:08
  and and I'm sure you were too, Ron and we're paying attention.
• 37:12
  That was really huge and it came out of the blue.
• 37:15
  No one saw it coming. At least no one in in
• 37:18
  traditional banking saw it coming.
• 37:20
  Maybe the big bank saw it coming, I don't know.
• 37:22
  But but you're right, an abrupt end, you know, basically to this
• 37:26
  gravy train of printed dollars, I, I believe is actually already
• 37:31
  here because most people are not keeping up with inflation now.
• 37:34
  So that's the end of the train for you and me, Ron, We're done.
• 37:38
  We just have to pay more by getting the same amount of
• 37:40
  income. We have to pay more for
• 37:42
  everything. So we have less expendable
• 37:44
  income. And this is where people have to
• 37:46
  start making tough choices. And by the way, I'm a big, a big
• 37:50
  advocate of people using YouTube University to learn how to fix
• 37:54
  the stuff in their house. I'm a big proponent of that as
• 37:58
  opposed to paying for a professional to come out if you,
• 38:01
  if you were hurting for money, learn how to fix things
• 38:04
  yourselves. And, and it's a great trip to do
• 38:06
  that too. And it's a lot of satisfaction
• 38:08
  in fixing your own stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, I I do it all the
• 38:11
  time and it's absolutely satisfying.
• 38:13
  And a friend of mine once said, we'll get back to gold and
• 38:16
  silver here in a second. But a friend of mine once I put
• 38:18
  a new power steering pump and our Acura, I've, I've fixed,
• 38:22
  I've been fixing stuff my whole life.
• 38:24
  I love, but I'm not a car mechanic.
• 38:26
  But a friend of mine once said, you know, if you try to do it
• 38:29
  and it doesn't work, you're not gonna usually not gonna hurt
• 38:32
  anything. You're not gonna make it any
• 38:34
  worse, you know, So it doesn't, it doesn't hurt to, it doesn't
• 38:37
  hurt to give it a shot to try to, to try to fix it yourself,
• 38:40
  you know, and you're right because, you know, you a lot of
• 38:43
  times, and then I'll, I'll promise, I'll, I'll just go back
• 38:45
  to silver and gold basement dwellers.
• 38:47
  But a lot of times you can fix things with a $15 part that you
• 38:52
  buy on Amazon that if you brought your car to the
• 38:54
  dealership, for instance, they're gonna charge you 400
• 38:57
  bucks to do the exact same thing.
• 38:58
  I mean, it's nuts. It's absolutely, absolutely
• 39:02
  crazies. Oh, last week, Pat, we had this.
• 39:07
  We had this, this big downdraft, almost $80.00 per oz in gold.
• 39:12
  And the reason why was because the Chinese central bank, they
• 39:16
  didn't sell gold. They just stopped buying for one
• 39:19
  month, right? And I think Peter Schiff was the
• 39:21
  first person who I heard bring this up.
• 39:23
  He said, well, let's remember that that the the month of May
• 39:28
  now we know the Chinese central bank didn't buy any gold, but we
• 39:31
  also hit an all time high in gold for the month during the
• 39:34
  month of May. You know, to me, do you think
• 39:38
  there's a concerted media effort to jump on any reason available
• 39:43
  to push down and to and to speak poorly about the precious
• 39:46
  metals? Yes, it is because it's getting
• 39:48
  big in the States. It's not so much guys.
• 39:52
  I mean that's another thing too is, you know, we haven't even
• 39:55
  talked about the States and what the states are doing.
• 39:57
  But if you think the federal government hasn't noticed our
• 40:00
  efforts in the states to make gold and silver legal tender,
• 40:03
  you're mistaken. They have noticed.
• 40:05
  They know this. In fact, there's been efforts,
• 40:07
  you know, even though half hearted ones, because we know it
• 40:10
  can't work on the federal level. There's been efforts on the
• 40:12
  federal level to go back to a gold standard and somehow back
• 40:16
  up the dollar with gold. But the problem is it'll never,
• 40:19
  ever, ever, ever happen on the federal level.
• 40:22
  Never. But look at the states are doing
• 40:24
  it. And this is actually a very,
• 40:27
  very good thing. And it's very timely.
• 40:29
  And let's talk about one state here real quick.
• 40:32
  Let's talk about Louisiana, Louisiana this year.
• 40:36
  And by the way, we should do another show.
• 40:37
  I'm not prepared for this right now, but there's like 9 or 10
• 40:40
  states that have actually done stuff with silver and gold.
• 40:43
  But I do know Louisiana literally has the golden ticket.
• 40:48
  They got, you know, silver and gold as legal tender in their
• 40:52
  state. They actually got it done wrong.
• 40:55
  And so they're the only state that got it done.
• 40:58
  Now, we should talk about Missouri at some point why we
• 41:00
  didn't get it done. But I think most people know
• 41:02
  that. In fact, I think Daniel Diaz
• 41:04
  came on your show and talked about that.
• 41:05
  But the fact is only Louisiana got it done, but other states
• 41:10
  did other things that are. Here, Pat.
• 41:12
  Hey, Pat. Pat, I'm gonna interrupt you for
• 41:14
  a second because I'm gonna pull up the an article briefly about
• 41:19
  what you're talking about. This is wrong one here it is
• 41:23
  from silver Seek Louisiana reaffirms gold as legal tender.
• 41:28
  JP Cortez wrote this and I had some highlights.
• 41:32
  Louisiana Sound Money Bill simply affirms that any gold or
• 41:36
  silver coins, specie or bullion issued by the US government is
• 41:40
  considered legal tender whenever voluntarily agreed upon by both
• 41:44
  parties to a contract. The measure enjoyed popular
• 41:48
  support, receiving only one no vote on the floor throughout the
• 41:53
  Louisiana House and Senate. What do you think about that,
• 41:56
  Mister Holland? It makes me wish that we had the
• 41:59
  Louisiana General Assembly in the state of Missouri.
• 42:05
  There's it. By the way, Congratulations to
• 42:08
  them. This is a huge move for the
• 42:12
  state of Louisiana to protect their citizens.
• 42:14
  And this is what many states are trying to do across the United
• 42:17
  States of America. But there is resistance in the
• 42:20
  case of Nebraska. Nebraska actually got rid of
• 42:24
  capital gains tax on gold and silver.
• 42:27
  That's another huge move. Some people call it income tax
• 42:29
  on gold and silver, but what it is, is you pay a tax on gold and
• 42:33
  silver as the value goes up, right?
• 42:36
  You, you, you hold on to physical gold and silver and
• 42:39
  then you go and sell it. And then suddenly they, they
• 42:41
  want to tax your income and you made on the difference from your
• 42:44
  purchase price versus the sale price.
• 42:47
  So you, you got to get rid of that when you do legal tender
• 42:49
  too. Nebraska is clearly moving to
• 42:52
  legal tender and they got done what they thought they could get
• 42:55
  done in 2023 or I'm sorry, 2024, which was get rid of capital
• 43:00
  gains tax. So any states that are actually
• 43:03
  moving in this direction and, and I have been involved in that
• 43:06
  the Citizens for Sound Money have been involved in this and
• 43:10
  others. But the fact of the matter is
• 43:12
  this is the only way I have thought about this for decades,
• 43:17
  gang, decades and decades. This is the only way to protect
• 43:20
  citizens from inflation from and now from the threat of a central
• 43:25
  bank digital currency. This is it.
• 43:27
  This is all you got. This is why the, the Eastern
• 43:30
  hemisphere is actually collecting gold in their central
• 43:33
  banks gang. This is why they see it too.
• 43:36
  Yeah, well, and, and, and, and, you know, I think it's wherever,
• 43:41
  whatever state, right, most and, and not everybody who's with us
• 43:44
  is in the United States. A lot of people are maybe in a
• 43:47
  country that that holds gold and silver in a different regard,
• 43:51
  but probably 80% of the people. So for the viewer, I'll ask you
• 43:56
  if you are in the United States and if you want to hold silver
• 44:02
  and gold to protect yourself, to protect your family, then this
• 44:06
  legal tender legislation is, is exciting and it's, and it's
• 44:09
  happening state by state by state.
• 44:12
  I know it's probably not the best analogy, but I, to me, it
• 44:15
  feels like a lot like, like, like when marijuana was
• 44:19
  legalized throughout the country, right?
• 44:21
  It was little by little by little.
• 44:23
  And then suddenly, even though on a federal level it's not now,
• 44:26
  it's pretty much been been accepted in, in many, many
• 44:30
  states throughout the country. And that's what it feels like is
• 44:33
  happening with the gold and silver legal tender legislation.
• 44:35
  It's, you know, it's not all gonna happen in one year.
• 44:38
  But you know, I think Wisconsin passed some type of legislation.
• 44:42
  There's been all types of these little pieces that are coming
• 44:45
  together protecting people's constitutional right to use
• 44:49
  silver and gold as legal tender. That's right.
• 44:52
  And so that makes Louisiana officially the 6th state.
• 44:58
  We're hoping it would be Missouri.
• 44:59
  The the weird part is, gang, I'm, I've been in touch with
• 45:03
  some politicians in other States and they're getting this stuff
• 45:08
  done without even a massive grassroots effort, without any
• 45:12
  grassroots effort whatsoever whatsoever.
• 45:15
  In fact, when I was talking to representative in Arkansas
• 45:18
  talking about how they got it done so easily and so quickly,
• 45:21
  they said it just is common sense.
• 45:24
  There was no resistance to this in in Arkansas.
• 45:27
  There was none in Tennessee. There was none in Louisiana.
• 45:29
  There was none in Alabama last year.
• 45:31
  There's just no resistance in Missouri.
• 45:34
  It's political resistance. It's a Dean Plocker who is
• 45:37
  actually running for Lieutenant governor, decided single
• 45:40
  handedly for two years in a row that the state of Missouri
• 45:42
  cannot have silver and gold as legal tender.
• 45:45
  He made the decision. He did this unilaterally.
• 45:48
  Dean Plocker. And so at any rate, Dean Plocker
• 45:52
  has termed out Gang so he will not be Speaker of the House next
• 45:55
  year. So we could see what we can get
• 45:57
  done with Dean Plocker finally gone.
• 46:00
  And so this is literally what it was, gang.
• 46:04
  It was a single man deciding that Senator Eigel, who
• 46:08
  sponsored the bill, can't have a win because he's running for
• 46:12
  governor and Dean Plocker hates him.
• 46:15
  That's literally what it came down to.
• 46:17
  That's how petty things are. And one more thing I'd like to
• 46:19
  say, you know, before we get off the subject, I want to make sure
• 46:22
  it's covered. Daniel Diaz came to help us here
• 46:24
  in the state of Missouri with Citizens for Sound Money.
• 46:27
  He has never seen anything as dysfunctional as he's seen in
• 46:31
  the Missouri General Assembly. Never.
• 46:34
  Never. He's been to a lot of states,
• 46:35
  lobbied in a lot of states. I don't lobby in other states,
• 46:38
  gang. I make a lot of phone calls to
• 46:39
  other states. I'm, I may or may not have made
• 46:42
  a trip to a capital here and there close by Missouri, but by
• 46:46
  far and large, I do my work by phone and by e-mail and by
• 46:49
  video, by video conferencing. And the fact of the matter is I
• 46:55
  have had an easier time dealing with most other states than I
• 46:57
  have dealing with my own. But it's because of the power
• 47:00
  brokers like Dean Plocker, who literally refused gold and
• 47:04
  silver legal tender in the state of Missouri.
• 47:06
  By the way, I'm saying this very deliberately, gang.
• 47:09
  Dean Plocker single handedly decided for the state of
• 47:12
  Missouri, we can't have gold and silver.
• 47:14
  And the reason being is because he hates the sponsor, Bill
• 47:18
  Eigel, who is running for governor.
• 47:20
  That's why. So that's how petty things can
• 47:22
  get in Missouri. Absolutely petty.
• 47:24
  So remember this, Dean Plocker's running for Lieutenant governor
• 47:27
  in the state of Missouri. He's he has shown how petty he
• 47:31
  is. Do we want him in his Lieutenant
• 47:33
  governor? Absolutely not.
• 47:35
  You know, pick someone else. In my opinion.
• 47:38
  By the way, I don't tell anyone who to vote for, but I tell
• 47:40
  people who not to vote for, you know, all the time because I
• 47:44
  have experience up at the Capitol.
• 47:45
  I know all these players. I know these people.
• 47:48
  And for that reason, a lot of people are asking me who to vote
• 47:51
  for. But I generally just say who not
• 47:53
  to vote for on our live streams. I'll tell you who I am voting
• 47:56
  for, but I don't endorse folks. But so you need people in your
• 48:00
  General Assembly. And by the way, Ron, you and I
• 48:03
  should plan on probably between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you
• 48:08
  and I should plan on doing a special one hour episode after
• 48:12
  elections are over about getting gold and silver legislation in
• 48:16
  your state. And actually, you know.
• 48:18
  Step by step guide, we can provide you all the materials to
• 48:22
  make it real easy for you. Every state should be working
• 48:25
  towards this. Or it's legal tender.
• 48:27
  Yeah, because the world is working towards it.
• 48:29
  You know, we were, we were, we were talking anyway.
• 48:32
  Yeah, the Eastern world. Well, because, you know, we're
• 48:35
  talking about how in the United States this is, is starting to
• 48:39
  catalyze, right? It feels like there's more and
• 48:41
  more people waking up, right. And we know state by state
• 48:45
  efforts of people like you and Daniel Diaz from Citizens for
• 48:48
  Sound Money, it's growing in the States.
• 48:50
  But I, I wanna run through this list.
• 48:52
  There's just some recent headlines that I've seen.
• 48:55
  We know in China, right? Hundreds of thousands of people
• 48:58
  are lining up at times to buy physical gold.
• 49:02
  There's been some recent reports in Vietnam.
• 49:05
  I've got I I pulled up a couple live stream to the Vietnamese,
• 49:09
  the Vietnam Vietnamese newspaper showing people lining up at the
• 49:13
  banks because they can buy physical gold.
• 49:17
  Korea has has now has these like are starting to put the gold
• 49:22
  vending machines in their convenience stores.
• 49:24
  And interestingly enough, North or I'm sorry, South Korea has
• 49:29
  more convenience stores than anywhere else on the planet.
• 49:32
  People, all young people, young people are buying this gold all
• 49:37
  over the world, right? It's happening all over the
• 49:40
  place and starting to, I think catalyze here in the United
• 49:43
  States and it's and it's been it was part of our history.
• 49:46
  I mean, we gotta remember, right, like we were, we were a
• 49:49
  country that was based on gold and silver.
• 49:52
  And during that period, right, the United States accomplished
• 49:57
  economically what would have never been accomplished in the
• 50:02
  history of the planet. So, you know, going back to some
• 50:04
  type of gold backed, silver backed system, it, I think now
• 50:10
  it's like, it's like, oh, you're, you're acted like an,
• 50:12
  you're treated like an outcast or, or whatever the case would
• 50:15
  be. Well, it worked pretty darn
• 50:16
  well, right? And it's worked pretty well for
• 50:18
  other countries throughout history as well.
• 50:20
  What about the Wizard of Oz? Pat, what are your, what are
• 50:23
  your thoughts on the, the, the the classic movie that before it
• 50:27
  was a movie was a book, you know, that really, I think had a
• 50:32
  lot to do with the struggles with silver and gold in this
• 50:35
  country. Yes, in the, in the 1890s, Frank
• 50:38
  Baum, I, I, I think it's L Frank Baum is the author, I think of
• 50:42
  The Wizard of Oz. And I do believe it might be the
• 50:44
  year 1900 or 1901 that the book came out, The Wizard of Oz.
• 50:48
  But it was based on what was going on in the presidential
• 50:51
  election cycle of 1896 because silver was temporarily
• 50:56
  demonetized. So in in in the 1890s, they were
• 51:00
  talking about doing that and keeping on a very restrictive
• 51:03
  gold standard. The people wanted silver.
• 51:07
  They were OK with gold too, but they definitely wanted silver.
• 51:10
  It was much easier to transact with for smaller transactions.
• 51:14
  So the, you know, that's The thing is the Ruby slippers on
• 51:18
  Technicolor, you know, actually were supposed to be silver
• 51:21
  slippers because that's what they were in the book.
• 51:23
  But silver did not show up as well in color back then with the
• 51:28
  technology they had as Ruby the eye popping Ruby slippers.
• 51:33
  Interesting. So that's what it was, but the
• 51:36
  the fact of the matter is silver will save you, silver will bring
• 51:40
  you home. And so that was the kind of the
• 51:43
  message in the book. And so the.
• 51:46
  So the yellow, so the so the yellow brick road.
• 51:49
  And, and it was my understanding, and correct me if
• 51:51
  I'm wrong here, that at the time the big bankers wanted gold.
• 51:56
  And the reason the big bankers wanted gold was because the big
• 52:01
  European bankers, who at the time, this was before World War
• 52:04
  One and World War 2, the European bankers were kind of
• 52:07
  the equivalent of what the United States is now, right?
• 52:10
  They were the world hegemony. And they were pushing the
• 52:13
  American bankers to, to, to be more focused on a gold backed
• 52:18
  system 'cause that would have benefited them as well.
• 52:21
  But it's, pardon my language, screwed over the average
• 52:25
  American, who at that time was generally a farmer, as I
• 52:28
  understand it. Right, that's correct.
• 52:31
  So the yellow brick road was this this idea they were trying
• 52:34
  to lead the Dorothy's of the world who was a farm girl,
• 52:38
  right? Yeah.
• 52:39
  The. Average person.
• 52:40
  Yeah, the followed followed the yellow brick road to the Emerald
• 52:43
  City, and then when they got there, they realized the man
• 52:47
  behind the curtain was a dirty banker, right?
• 52:49
  Sure, sure. As a dirty banker, you know, it
• 52:51
  was a facade of prosperity in in the the land of Oz, the Wizard
• 52:57
  of Oz OZ short for ounces and you know that's you know, it's
• 53:04
  an abbreviation for Oz, which is the measure for gold and silver
• 53:08
  speak to the economic policies and the illusions of wealth that
• 53:12
  dominated during bombs time. This representation of the
• 53:17
  economic system in the quest for financial stability kind of
• 53:21
  reveals the complexities of the American dream and the
• 53:24
  challenges of achieving at the landscape marked by inequality
• 53:27
  and illusion. I meant this was the Wizard of
• 53:30
  Oz was literally a slice of history that basically keeps
• 53:36
  repeating over and over and over again.
• 53:39
  And the reason it does, and it's so relevant, whether or not
• 53:42
  you're you're living in America, it doesn't matter the monetary
• 53:46
  system effects you. It doesn't matter what country
• 53:49
  you're in and the world reserve currency effects you, and it
• 53:52
  doesn't matter what country you're in.
• 53:54
  So this story still remains pertinent today, and it always
• 53:58
  will be. And so, but yeah, there was talk
• 54:01
  of getting off a silver standard.
• 54:03
  And that's why Dorothy, the average person, had the silver
• 54:06
  slippers that could always save her.
• 54:08
  They always had the capability of saving her as an individual.
• 54:12
  And she just didn't know how to use it.
• 54:15
  So she had to be taught by, you know, the the good witch
• 54:18
  Gwyneth, I believe, you know, literally how to use silver to
• 54:23
  save yourself. And also, you know, there's a
• 54:26
  lot of underlying tones in that movie.
• 54:28
  But it was based on what was happening in 1896 in the
• 54:31
  presidential election cycle. That's what it was truly based
• 54:34
  on. And, and, and one of the
• 54:35
  candidates got got assassinated, which that was very one of the
• 54:40
  guys who was in favor of going back to the silver at the same.
• 54:43
  Time I didn't know he was assassinated.
• 54:45
  I I knew he died. But was shot or or well, OK,
• 54:48
  maybe maybe I may have misspoke there.
• 54:50
  So I want to clarify that for the audience.
• 54:52
  But he died shortly after. It was very, let's say there's
• 54:57
  there's a an air of suspicion over his death, is what I read,
• 55:01
  Yeah. Sure.
• 55:02
  And so at any rate, when you're watching The Wizard of Oz, you
• 55:06
  know, wonderful tale, just remember it was based on
• 55:09
  political and economic heat upheaval in 1896.
• 55:13
  That's what the story was based on.
• 55:14
  And it was based on gold and silver and how literally silver
• 55:19
  can save you just like it saved Dorothy in the end.
• 55:22
  She just didn't understand silver.
• 55:24
  She didn't understand how important it was intrinsically.
• 55:27
  She didn't understand, you know, basically the the fact that it's
• 55:31
  used in industry. In fact, they were starting to
• 55:33
  use silver and industry back then because they were making
• 55:35
  film with silver. The silver screen.
• 55:38
  They made movie screens in the early 1900s basically
• 55:42
  impregnated with silver. So you know, they that mirror
• 55:46
  like thing going on there. That's why we still call it to
• 55:49
  this day the silver screen that has nothing to do with silver
• 55:52
  anymore in the screens they, you know, project movies on to but
• 55:55
  but still it's in your TV screen gang.
• 55:58
  So you still have the silver screen at home.
• 56:00
  But this is the importance. Go ahead.
• 56:02
  Go ahead. No, you go ahead.
• 56:03
  No, this is the importance of the lessons we should learn from
• 56:07
  the movie The Wizard of Oz, which was based on a book.
• 56:09
  Now, it's an entertaining film. I get that.
• 56:12
  But there's so many lessons in there.
• 56:14
  And for those who have not read the book, I do recommend you
• 56:17
  read the book if you want to get, you know, some of the
• 56:19
  deeper meanings that that that Baum was trying to get across in
• 56:23
  that timeless book that. Timeless class?
• 56:26
  Yeah, I think 99% of people including me that have watched
• 56:29
  The Wizard of Oz that have no idea that what it was really
• 56:33
  truly stating. Do you have 5 more minutes pack
• 56:36
  'cause I have one more subject I wanna cover with you and get
• 56:39
  your opinion on this one. One of my viewers, well we're
• 56:41
  we're gonna talk about skyrocketing and demand for
• 56:44
  silver. OK, possibly skyrocketing prices
• 56:47
  as we go into the next decades. But one of my viewers pointed
• 56:51
  out this idea and I don't know if it was original to him or it
• 56:54
  doesn't really matter, but that that oil and as you were talking
• 56:57
  about the industrial uses of, of silver just coming onto the
• 57:01
  scene then. But oil really around the 1920s
• 57:05
  became like oil was nothing up to that point, not very
• 57:09
  important. But oil over the last 100 years
• 57:12
  from 1924 through today has become like the base of the
• 57:16
  world economy, right? The the energy source, the used
• 57:20
  in plastics, all this stuff. This gentleman brought up this
• 57:23
  idea that that silver going into the next 100 years could almost
• 57:27
  become like the new oil, right? And if you think about it, it
• 57:31
  does make sense, right? Because silver now is being used
• 57:34
  in solar panels. Like unbelievable amounts of,
• 57:38
  of, of silver are being used up in solar panels.
• 57:40
  It's used in everything electronic and electronics are
• 57:43
  permeating every corner of our lives, he said.
• 57:48
  He said silver, his prediction is like silver could become the
• 57:52
  new oil. Any thoughts on that one?
• 57:55
  Absolutely, it's the second most useful commodity on the planet
• 57:57
  after oil. Oil's number one gang silver's
• 58:01
  number two. And by the way, hemp is #3 just
• 58:04
  in case, you know, that's the packing order.
• 58:06
  And we're talking about the versatility of, of, of minerals
• 58:10
  or, you know, basically resources that we have in the
• 58:13
  planet. Oil is number one.
• 58:15
  It's incredibly versatile. It just, it's not just for
• 58:18
  getting your plane to and fro and your car to and fro.
• 58:21
  Oil is plastic, oil is pharmaceutical.
• 58:24
  I mean, we could. Go on fertilizer, Yeah.
• 58:26
  That's right. Yeah.
• 58:28
  But as we go ahead, well, I mean, Dan, but as we go into
• 58:31
  this next 100 years and we look at like where is energy gonna
• 58:34
  come from? Go ahead.
• 58:36
  Yeah. That's right.
• 58:37
  That's exactly right. And, and I have got a tail for
• 58:39
  you and a warning. Everyone's seeing their energy
• 58:43
  prices go up. My wife and I were talking about
• 58:46
  our energy bill recently, electricity bill.
• 58:49
  We're on a Co-op and our, we, we're getting all hit with all
• 58:53
  kinds of new fees and increasing prices in electricity.
• 58:57
  What you may not know is this is a federal mandate for the prices
• 59:03
  of electricity to go up. Where is the extra money going
• 59:07
  when it's literally federal red tape or EPA regulation that's
• 59:12
  causing electricity prices to go up?
• 59:14
  I can tell you exactly where it's going.
• 59:16
  It's not going to make you happy, or it may make you happy.
• 59:19
  We're subsidizing solar panels. Remember what I was talking
• 59:22
  about? When the the corporations, the
• 59:24
  big corporations and the rich people and the bankers never pay
• 59:28
  full price for anything ever, They get a discount, right?
• 59:32
  Well, that's exactly what's happening.
• 59:34
  They're getting a discount on solar panels and that discount
• 59:38
  is coming right out of your wallet in the extra subsidies
• 59:41
  that you are paying your electric company.
• 59:45
  So silver for solar panels is being directly, the price of
• 59:49
  silver is being directly affected by this.
• 59:52
  So this is something a lot of folks may not know about, but
• 59:55
  This is why your prices have increased for electricity.
• 59:59
  Is your subsidizing the people getting silver, Believe it or
• 1:00:04
  not. So Ron, it's directly linked.
• 1:00:07
  So thank you for bringing that up.
• 1:00:08
  I probably would have forgot about that otherwise.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, yeah. And the number of of solar
• 1:00:12
  panels and the most recent data I read is there's about 2/3 of
• 1:00:16
  an ounce of silver per solar panel using the using the
• 1:00:20
  current kind of dominant technology.
• 1:00:22
  But this next level, I think it's top con is the next type of
• 1:00:26
  panel gonna come out. We'll use some people say up to
• 1:00:29
  50% more, but let's just say there's like an ounce of silver
• 1:00:32
  eventually in every solar panel. And Jim, one of my other viewers
• 1:00:37
  brought up a great point. He works in the electric field.
• 1:00:39
  He said you got to remember too, when that silver goes into that
• 1:00:43
  solar panel, you can say bye bye to it for at least 15 or 20
• 1:00:47
  years, right? And we don't know that we'll
• 1:00:49
  ever be able to get it back out of that solar panel.
• 1:00:51
  And when you look at the amount of panels it being manufactured
• 1:00:56
  in China and India right now, it's staggering.
• 1:01:00
  And you, and when you think about India, let's just look at
• 1:01:02
  India quickly alone. India has like the, the, the
• 1:01:06
  most rapidly expanding consumer class in the world, right?
• 1:01:10
  The Indian economy is doing well.
• 1:01:11
  You got hundreds of millions of people that are suddenly moving
• 1:01:16
  from huts to little houses. And guess what they want?
• 1:01:19
  They want electricity. And what's the easiest way for
• 1:01:22
  them to get electricity, right? Put some solar panels on the
• 1:01:25
  roof and run a wire and they have electricity.
• 1:01:28
  It's like instantaneous, it's clean, right?
• 1:01:31
  So this that this demand for for silver, for solar panels will
• 1:01:36
  likely just continue to explode. Yep, and just so you remember,
• 1:01:41
  the folks out here that are paying the sky high electricity
• 1:01:44
  bills are literally helping to keep the price of silver down.
• 1:01:49
  Believe it or not, this is the mechanism they put in place.
• 1:01:52
  You and I, Ron, by paying higher electricity bills are
• 1:01:55
  subsidizing the undercutting of the actual value of silver.
• 1:01:59
  These are the kinds of tactics they use, gang, whether it be
• 1:02:03
  central banks, businesses, government, but the Subs, the
• 1:02:07
  subsidizing of solar panels is not a new thing.
• 1:02:09
  They've been doing that for quite some time now.
• 1:02:11
  But that is also a way to keep the, the silver gold ratio nice
• 1:02:16
  and high. I mean, what is it right now,
• 1:02:18
  like 80, you know, 85 or something right now, Silver gold
• 1:02:22
  ratio. Yeah, around there, yeah.
• 1:02:25
  It's absolutely insane gang. It should never have been that
• 1:02:28
  high. And even at its worst in
• 1:02:30
  America, the ratio was 16 to one, you know, basically when we
• 1:02:36
  were still on a precious metal standard.
• 1:02:38
  So, yeah, silver is getting whipped and, you know, and, and
• 1:02:42
  being taken to the woodshed daily by the United States
• 1:02:45
  government. I want to remind you all that,
• 1:02:48
  and this is once again from a guy who's been looking at this
• 1:02:50
  for a long time, You have to remember now the the COMEX is
• 1:02:55
  controlled by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which is
• 1:02:58
  controlled by the Treasury. So actually, the lineage goes
• 1:03:02
  directly to the executive branch of the United States government.
• 1:03:05
  That's the president of the United States.
• 1:03:07
  It doesn't matter who the president is.
• 1:03:09
  Silver and gold are manipulated, particularly silver.
• 1:03:11
  Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't.
• 1:03:14
  It doesn't matter if it's the Democrat or Republican, they're
• 1:03:16
  gonna they're gonna keep pushing down the price of silver.
• 1:03:19
  And I know John Little at the silver Academy's dug in and,
• 1:03:23
  and, and even like the defense industry needs massive amounts
• 1:03:26
  of silver, the space industry needs massive amounts of silver.
• 1:03:31
  Like everybody needs massive amount.
• 1:03:32
  It just doesn't it just it. And I know it's frustrating for
• 1:03:36
  me and for I know you're a silver.
• 1:03:38
  I mean, to me, I just kind of keep a long term generational
• 1:03:41
  view that the price of silver, the value and at the price, you
• 1:03:46
  know, I mean the price. Who knows what what, who knows
• 1:03:48
  what a dollar is gonna be worth 15 or 20 years from now or five
• 1:03:51
  years from now, Who knows but that the real value of silver is
• 1:03:55
  there. And you know, it's just insane
• 1:03:57
  too, Pat, when you think about the fact that there's less and
• 1:04:00
  less silver coming out of the ground every year.
• 1:04:02
  I mean, they can't find it. There's no, there's no money.
• 1:04:06
  This is. And then I promise we'll, we'll
• 1:04:08
  wrap this up, but there's no, there it, it makes no sense to
• 1:04:11
  me that the entire market capitalization of the entire
• 1:04:15
  silver mining industry is less than 50 after a day like today,
• 1:04:20
  probably less than $14 billion. The market cap of GameStop was
• 1:04:26
  over that last week, right? The market cap of Home Depot,
• 1:04:29
  and I know it's a big chain about hardware stores, but it's
• 1:04:32
  $300 billion. That means that the entire
• 1:04:36
  silver mining industry is, is worth less than 4% of the value
• 1:04:41
  of Home Depot, a big box hardware store.
• 1:04:44
  I mean, that's right. It's, it's just insane.
• 1:04:47
  So there's no money going into it.
• 1:04:49
  And you know, and then you got Mexico who's who's, who's like
• 1:04:53
  doing everything they can to stop any mining development in
• 1:04:57
  their country. I mean, the Mexico's the number
• 1:04:59
  one provider of silver in the world production.
• 1:05:02
  There's down like almost 30% in the last two years.
• 1:05:05
  It doesn't it's it's crazy. It's absolutely.
• 1:05:08
  Well, you talked about silver being the energy of the future.
• 1:05:10
  Mexico realizes this too. And they have literally, they
• 1:05:15
  have underground banks, you know, because they have so much
• 1:05:18
  silver underneath their soil. They want to hold on to that.
• 1:05:22
  And if it's mined out, it is much more likely it's going to
• 1:05:25
  actually enter the system, which is not what they want at this
• 1:05:28
  time. They want to hold on to the
• 1:05:31
  silver that they have until it's really worth what it's truly
• 1:05:34
  worth and you know, in terms of pesos, dollars or whatever the
• 1:05:39
  next World reserve currency will be.
• 1:05:41
  Yeah, Mexico. Is smart and they have a lot of
• 1:05:44
  oil too. Mexico is just is just resource
• 1:05:47
  rich. They have a lot of stuff in
• 1:05:50
  Mexico, Mexico. And by the way, I foresee a time
• 1:05:53
  when we're bowing to Mexico because they have all the wealth
• 1:05:57
  they have all the oil, they have all the silver.
• 1:05:59
  This is the energy gang, the energy that moves the planet and
• 1:06:03
  Mexico's got it in spades. So, you know, this is something
• 1:06:07
  that the United States knows, understands, and that's why we
• 1:06:11
  try to keep Mexico as a friend. And also, Mexico has been
• 1:06:15
  exploited for years for its cheap labor and for its
• 1:06:18
  resources. But the new Mexican government,
• 1:06:22
  or at least in the last five years, have anticipated this has
• 1:06:25
  to stop because they are the energy kings of the future.
• 1:06:29
  They have oil and they have. Silver, yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:33
  And silver is in a lot of ways, a big component at minimum of
• 1:06:38
  the energy of the future, but it's also obviously a massive
• 1:06:42
  component of the technology revolution going on in the world
• 1:06:46
  as well. It's gonna.
• 1:06:47
  It's gonna be an interesting ride.
• 1:06:49
  Pat. We've had 900 people join us.
• 1:06:51
  That's massive. Yeah, I know.
• 1:06:53
  Everybody. Everybody, please say thank you
• 1:06:56
  to Pat in the comments section. If you wanna learn more about
• 1:06:59
  Pat, I have a link to his organization in the description.
• 1:07:04
  Pat, you wanna give everybody a a little.
• 1:07:06
  A little. First look, want to let you guys
• 1:07:10
  know and thank you for that run. Want to let you guys know I will
• 1:07:14
  be literally in New Hampshire for a week and it starts next or
• 1:07:19
  this coming up Sunday all the way through the a lot of folks
• 1:07:23
  would recognize that time frame. That is what they call Pork Fest
• 1:07:27
  or Porcupine Fest. It's a libertarian thing.
• 1:07:30
  Now I do not associate with the the Libertarian Party.
• 1:07:34
  I have lots of libertarian friends, but but Daniel from
• 1:07:38
  Citizens for Sound Money and myself and many others like Rob
• 1:07:43
  Kines is going to be there. Keens and are going to be there
• 1:07:47
  actually with the sound money management machine in our tent.
• 1:07:53
  So we're actually introducing a lot of folks to Sound Money or
• 1:07:57
  helping them with legislative efforts, basically spreading the
• 1:08:01
  word about Sound Money. And we're going to have a live
• 1:08:04
  stream on, not this Saturday, but next Saturday, and that will
• 1:08:09
  be on Citizens for Sound Money's YouTube channel, and it's going
• 1:08:12
  to be a Yuba Tuba Thon. We're going to have a lot of
• 1:08:14
  really, really cool people. Come on, Ron, I think you may
• 1:08:17
  know several of them personally. You may even be one of them,
• 1:08:22
  actually. Yeah, I think they, they, I
• 1:08:25
  talked with Daniel this morning. I think I'll be on there and
• 1:08:27
  then I'll be doing a live stream on Thursday morning, I think
• 1:08:31
  9:15. With Central.
• 1:08:33
  With Adam Band. Right.
• 1:08:34
  With Adam and Dan, you'll be on there.
• 1:08:36
  So it's going to be, it's going to be really exciting.
• 1:08:40
  If people want to support you, it's the Missouri Freedom
• 1:08:43
  Initiative. Is that right?
• 1:08:44
  That's right. And we don't take financial
• 1:08:46
  donations, gang. We're not that kind of
• 1:08:48
  organization. But please do if you're,
• 1:08:50
  especially if you're in the state of Missouri or if you're
• 1:08:53
  in another state and you want to get gold and silver legislation
• 1:08:57
  done in your state, one thing you can do is sign up to our
• 1:09:00
  e-mail list. There's no charge and we don't
• 1:09:02
  sell or share your information with anybody.
• 1:09:04
  Get on the e-mail list. And we do talk about other
• 1:09:07
  things other than silver and gold, but that's our top
• 1:09:09
  priority legislatively with the Missouri Freedom Initiative and
• 1:09:13
  getting depository in the state of Missouri.
• 1:09:15
  So that's Missouri Freedom Initiative's top priority and
• 1:09:18
  Citizens for Sound Money are doing this in other states as
• 1:09:21
  well. So you know, basically we're
• 1:09:24
  teaming up, you know, basically with the people who of like mind
• 1:09:27
  that are that the same exact goals to get the same exact
• 1:09:30
  thing done. And Citizens for Sound Money is
• 1:09:33
  doing this fantastic job doing this as well.
• 1:09:36
  So please do. And by the way, we'll give you a
• 1:09:39
  heads up when we do this, but should be a lot of fun.
• 1:09:41
  We should have a lot of really, really cool guests coming on.
• 1:09:45
  But the main message is, and always has been, literally sound
• 1:09:50
  money legislation in all 50 states.
• 1:09:54
  Get it done, turn it into laws so we can start using gold and
• 1:09:57
  silver again and protect ourselves.
• 1:09:59
  No matter how much inflation Uncle Sam throws at you, you'll
• 1:10:02
  be protected because the business down the street deals
• 1:10:05
  in gold and silver. You deal in gold and silver.
• 1:10:08
  Your local bank is actually dealing in in in gold and silver

  as well. This is how we survive as as a
• 1:10:15
  country. Yeah, just like the the
• 1:10:17
  legislation in Louisiana points out, right, that businesses can
• 1:10:20
  deal with each other and so that's correct.
• 1:10:23
  So thank you. Pat, given the choice, that's
• 1:10:25
  it. That's all we're asking for is
• 1:10:27
  that people get a choice. We are not trying to get rid of
• 1:10:30
  the dollar. You know, the dollar will still
• 1:10:33
  be there, gang, and it will still be the, the, the, the
• 1:10:36
  currency that they measure everything else against.
• 1:10:39
  It'll be there. But if you have the option, you
• 1:10:41
  can save your wealth and save your savings.
• 1:10:43
  Save your retirement, save your family.
• 1:10:46
  And and silver and gold, Pat, on behalf of myself, on behalf of
• 1:10:51
  our viewer who's been with us today, you've been very generous
• 1:10:54
  with your time. As always.
• 1:10:56
  It's always fascinating to hear from you and get your
• 1:10:58
  perspective on things. Thank you and we'll look forward
• 1:11:01
  to seeing you next time in the basement.
• 1:11:03
  Thank you very much, Ron. God bless all of you guys.
• 1:11:06
  Keep up the good work, gang.
