👻 SCARY Times 👻 - Silver and Gold Stackers MUST Listen! -- (Lynette Zang Precious Metals Price News) · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD Meme Coin Investing & Global Economics

• 0:00
  $200 silver. What about the potential for a
• 0:04
  financial crisis? Today, we're fortunate to be
• 0:07
  joined by Lynette Zhang from Zhang Enterprises.
• 0:10
  She's a trusted voice and a respected voice in the precious
• 0:13
  metals community. Lynette, welcome to Ron's
• 0:16
  basement. I am very happy to be here.
• 0:19
  Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, We've had some really
• 0:23
  entertaining conversations over the last few years.
• 0:26
  And I think since last time we talked, the price of silver and
• 0:29
  gold have done very well. I'll start out by asking you
• 0:33
  because I know our viewers want to know when you think about
• 0:35
  silver and you can touch on gold as much as you like as well.
• 0:39
  But I'm starting to feel like we could see much higher silver
• 0:42
  prices if we use the US dollar as the unit of measure here in
• 0:47
  the coming months, years. Any any thoughts on that?
• 0:51
  Oh, absolutely. And I mean technically what we
• 0:55
  have in silver and when you talk about $200, frankly that will
• 0:58
  still be chump change because we are it seems like we are rapidly
• 1:03
  approaching the end of a massive double cup accumulation pattern.
• 1:10
  And I, you know, frankly and all the charts that I've seen you,
• 1:13
  you don't see that, you do not see that.
• 1:16
  And that was that was that was something that was started in
• 1:18
  the 70s and then went to 2011. That was the first Cup and now
• 1:24
  we're coming to conclusion on the second somewhere above $50
• 1:29
  on the spot silver market will conclude that double cup.
• 1:34
  And then I think it's off to the races in terms of the spot price
• 1:39
  and in terms of of of dollars and and where you hear me
• 1:43
  stumble, it's because I 100% know that there is no good price
• 1:50
  discovery coming from Wall Street.
• 1:52
  And so when you're looking at the Spot gold in the spot silver
• 1:55
  prices, it doesn't real as a trading market.
• 2:01
  That's not a true fundamental market.
• 2:03
  And ultimately, I can't give you a lot of guarantees, but I can
• 2:07
  100% guarantee that at some point all assets, all
• 2:12
  instruments go to their true fundamental value.
• 2:17
  And silver's is much higher than two $200.00 an ounce.
• 2:22
  Yeah. And at the end of the day,
• 2:23
  Mother Nature market forces went out.
• 2:25
  I agree with you 100%. I also want to throw in, you
• 2:28
  mentioned this massive cup and handle pattern, those $50 prices
• 2:33
  that we had in 1980 and I think 2011, that $50 price that we're
• 2:39
  looking at, those are in $1980 and 2011 dollars.
• 2:43
  You adjust that for inflation. Where do we go, Lynette?
• 2:46
  Right? Exactly.
• 2:48
  You know really spot silver should be if it's going to be
• 2:52
  somewhere near a fair market, somewhere in the vicinity of
• 2:55
  2000 bucks. Which sounds outrageous, except
• 2:59
  that's only because people put value in government Fiat money
• 3:05
  and honest to goodness it cost them nothing to create it.
• 3:08
  And its fundamental value is 0, as witnessed by this $10
• 3:13
  trillion Zimbabwe note of which I can buy nothing with.
• 3:18
  It has 0 purchasing power value. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's a,
• 3:24
  it's absolutely incredible what the period of time that we're
• 3:28
  living through. You know, of the very first time
• 3:30
  we talked, you said something to me that I will never forget.
• 3:33
  And I, I sat down here, I said, Lynette, everything feels, you
• 3:37
  know, so crazy out there. You know, when you look at all
• 3:40
  these politically, what's going on monetarily, what's going on
• 3:44
  fiscally, what's going on? And then you look at the economy
• 3:47
  and like everything feels a little crazy.
• 3:49
  And you said to me, well, it feels crazy because we're
• 3:52
  probably getting near the end and, and, and, and you know,
• 3:57
  when, when you talked about earlier about what's the
• 4:00
  prospect of 2000, I always say, I think the price of silver as
• 4:04
  measured in U.S. dollars could go to Infinity at some point,
• 4:08
  right? When the dollar becomes, most
• 4:09
  people don't get that. Most people scratch their head
• 4:12
  and you know, like they're living in this little aquarium
• 4:15
  or bubble, But it's like, how much does silver cost in
• 4:18
  Confederate dollars? Ask somebody, you know, from 100
• 4:21
  years and years ago. You know it's Infinity at this
• 4:24
  point, except for the collective.
• 4:27
  Right. And I happen to have a
• 4:28
  Confederate note and it's worth pretty much.
• 4:32
  And I probably paid because I don't pay a lot for this stuff,
• 4:35
  right? They're worth the same thing,
• 4:38
  which is nothing. Nothing.
• 4:41
  And guess what? It's true with this stuff too.
• 4:46
  It's nothing to create it. It costs less if they create it
• 4:50
  digitally and they don't use paper and ink.
• 4:53
  And so how can it have any value?
• 4:56
  Because quite honestly, the easier it is to create and spend
• 5:01
  money, the more Fiat money that will be created and spent and
• 5:08
  push all of that Fiat money products, those Fiat money
• 5:13
  products up in nominal terms to 10 trillion.
• 5:19
  What difference does it make? You know, this is not an
• 5:21
  outrageous number to me because I understand it.
• 5:25
  Yeah. Yep.
• 5:26
  And then and it goes back and I'm sure you've heard this and
• 5:29
  I've heard it too, but we're almost like we're brainwashed.
• 5:32
  Like I would probably consider myself to be a little more, I
• 5:36
  want to say, for lack of a better term, enlightened than
• 5:38
  the average person out there. But I still think of of the
• 5:42
  value of this, right A1 oz silver.
• 5:45
  I think of it in terms of U.S. dollars, but really what we need
• 5:50
  to think of it in is in ounces, right?
• 5:52
  I mean because, because. What you can convert it into?
• 5:56
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:58
  Right. And what silver does is it
• 6:01
  maintains its ability to purchase the same goods and
• 6:06
  services over time. I have done so many studies on
• 6:10
  it. And when you look, I mean the
• 6:13
  Bureau of Labor Statistics, how good was that data to begin
• 6:17
  with? Now, I mean, it doesn't mean
• 6:19
  anything well, but even using that basket where they track the
• 6:24
  same thing from 1913 on, the last time I did it, I think that
• 6:30
  basket was up something like 2500%, something like that.
• 6:35
  That basket of food, but silver at that time was up like over
• 6:40
  3000%. So you see, it maintains your
• 6:43
  ability to buy the same thing. But during that same period of
• 6:47
  time, Spot gold was up like 16,000%.
• 6:51
  So not only does it maintain your ability to buy the same
• 6:55
  goods and services, but it actually expands that ability.
• 7:00
  Yeah, yeah. Because as the economies expand
• 7:03
  and the populations expand, I like to think of like my
• 7:07
  grandpa, let's say, you know, he was out in his yard working back
• 7:11
  in 1950, and he had his overalls on.
• 7:15
  And in one pocket, he had an ounce of silver.
• 7:18
  And in the other pocket, I don't know what the price of silver
• 7:21
  was in dollars in 1950, but let's say he had two paper
• 7:25
  dollars, $1.00. Yeah, right.
• 7:28
  Because of the silver. Yeah.
• 7:29
  So he had $1.00 in one pocket, an ounce of silver in the other
• 7:32
  pocket. He unfortunately died of a heart
• 7:35
  attack and they hung his overalls up in the closet.
• 7:38
  And, and and you know, grandma just died a week ago.
• 7:42
  We find grandpa's overalls. What's that dollar worth?
• 7:45
  And what's that ounce of silver worth?
• 7:47
  Right. It's not no comparison.
• 7:50
  Exactly. And you know, you brought up
• 7:52
  1980 and you brought up what was the, the price of silver then?
• 7:57
  Because it was always amazing to me.
• 8:00
  Actually, one day not that long ago, I lift weights.
• 8:04
  And so I was with my trainer and he's an attorney turned gym
• 8:08
  owner. So he's a pretty bright guy and
• 8:11
  we have some really interesting conversations.
• 8:13
  And I've probably been going to him for five years already or
• 8:18
  something like that. So this is a very long period of
• 8:20
  time. And I don't know quite how we
• 8:23
  got to talking about this, but silver as our coinage happened
• 8:29
  to come up in the conversation. And his response was we had
• 8:34
  silver in the coinage. And this guy is a history buff.
• 8:38
  And I looked at him and I said, you didn't know that?
• 8:42
  And he said, no, I had no idea. And So what I ended up doing,
• 8:46
  which I don't have here right now, and we're we're making it a
• 8:51
  little bit different so we can pass it out.
• 8:54
  But what I realized is that what you and I are asking people to
• 8:57
  do is believe in sound money when anybody that was born in
• 9:02
  the vicinity of 65 or later has never really used it as money.
• 9:08
  Like I'm 71, almost 71. So I remember it being our
• 9:14
  money. So what we did was we came up
• 9:17
  with what we call our coin cards and we have a silver quarter on
• 9:21
  it pre 1965 and then we have a new quarter on it.
• 9:25
  Because people need to understand that governments and
• 9:29
  central bankers have a lot of experience in shifting from one
• 9:34
  currency 1 Fiat money into the next Fiat money.
• 9:38
  And the way that they get you to do that with your, that you have
• 9:42
  to volunteer. If they force it, you know about
• 9:45
  it and they don't really want you to understand it.
• 9:48
  So they make things look as close to normal as possible.
• 9:54
  And so I know that this is hard to see, but I think I, I do OK.
• 9:59
  But this is 1957 silver quarter and this is a 19, a 2024 or
• 10:08
  2023, whatever, it's a new one. And you can see that they look
• 10:13
  very similar, right, except for the edge.
• 10:16
  This one's all silver. This has some copper color in
• 10:19
  there. This has value.
• 10:22
  It's almost 1/4 of an ounce because it's 90% silver and a
• 10:25
  quarter is 1/4. I mean, they were kind of
• 10:28
  logical. A dime is roughly 1/10 of an
• 10:31
  ounce, 1/4 quarter of an ounce, a half dollar, half an ounce,
• 10:34
  and it's silver dollars an ounce roughly because 65, They're all
• 10:38
  90%. But that's the way they do it.
• 10:41
  And I love showing this example. Give me two seconds.
• 10:45
  I'm sorry Sorry about this. Oh, you're great.
• 10:49
  I could do this. And, and 99% of Americans today
• 10:54
  wouldn't care which of those quarters that they got, if they
• 10:57
  got, if they got the 1954 silver quarter, most people, they'd
• 11:02
  spend it, you know what wouldn't realize that it's worth whatever
• 11:06
  8 or 9 dollars, $10. Except, you know, you don't find
• 11:10
  them in circulation. And I'll tell you as we passing
• 11:13
  them out, 'cause I, I hand them out everywhere I go.
• 11:16
  I go to the doctor's office, I give it to them and I explain
• 11:19
  it. And I encourage people to join
• 11:21
  the Citizens for Sound Money movement because we've got to
• 11:25
  get gold back in the system again.
• 11:27
  But I want you to look at this, OK, and I and there's a reason
• 11:31
  why I'm doing this, but well, that's not actually an accurate
• 11:35
  one. This is more accurate, OK,
• 11:37
  'cause this is pre 1933. So first you had this, then they
• 11:41
  came up with the certificates because there's so much more
• 11:44
  convenient to carry a bill in your wallet than this all is so,
• 11:49
  so heavy coin. Oh my goodness.
• 11:51
  And you could, right? Yeah, you can walk in with this.
• 11:56
  You can walk out with that. But at the same time, and this
• 12:01
  is critical for people to understand because it is
• 12:03
  happening again right now as you and I are sitting here speaking,
• 12:10
  corporations converted their corporate debt and I have all
• 12:14
  the proof and evidence from the Frazier.
• 12:17
  So from the Federal Reserve itself, corporations converted
• 12:21
  their debt into Federal Reserve notes.
• 12:26
  So corporations were instrumental in shifting us into
• 12:33
  the system cause governments wanted to tax and spend, so they
• 12:36
  created the inflation tax and corporations wanted to pay you
• 12:40
  less. So inflation covered that puppy
• 12:43
  as well. So 20 years, people worked with
• 12:46
  all three of them, all three of them.
• 12:49
  And you can see there's the little gold thing to remind you
• 12:52
  of this. There's this $20 bill to remind
• 12:55
  you that when these two things went away, people didn't think
• 12:58
  anything had changed. But in reality, everything had
• 13:03
  changed because by giving up this, we gave up our power over
• 13:10
  the central banks and the government's because up to that
• 13:14
  point, if you did not like what they were doing, you'd walk in
• 13:17
  with this and you'd walk out with this and that.
• 13:23
  Well, you could have your physical, but it was more than
• 13:25
  that because it when you took the gold out of the system,
• 13:30
  there were more restrictions on how much debt our government
• 13:36
  could grow. And they took us from this.
• 13:42
  This TD Little 20th of an ounce, which is a $1.00 gold coin which
• 13:47
  was equal to A1 silver dollar and equal to where do I have it
• 13:53
  in here, a silver certificate it's I have.
• 13:56
  Yeah, I've got it. Hold on.
• 13:57
  I have it. I have it, Lynette.
• 13:59
  I'm prepared. How's it?
• 14:01
  Gonna yay. OK, so all of these three things
• 14:04
  were the same when this went away, they still had those two
• 14:08
  for a while until 1965. And then that goes back to to
• 14:14
  this change. So, and the other piece of that
• 14:19
  that is critically important is that our government, I, I can't
• 14:23
  believe that they got away with this.
• 14:25
  And I mean, and I see it now and I'm understanding it better, but
• 14:29
  it's still just crazy to me because the sitting president
• 14:33
  that that time President Johnson actually said that if anybody
• 14:39
  tries to hoard this silver, which is what the Hunt brothers
• 14:43
  did, drove the price to $50. And then, and then our
• 14:46
  government said we stand ready to sell silver at at $1.29 an
• 14:53
  ounce to maintain its price. I mean, why didn't people go
• 15:00
  wait a minute, a government is talking about going in and
• 15:03
  manipulating the markets? No, what I, I, you know, I was
• 15:08
  alive then. I remember it.
• 15:10
  I was a child. But I remember that and I don't.
• 15:15
  And I remember sitting with my parents and my aunts and uncles
• 15:20
  Friday night. I used to love listening to all
• 15:22
  their discussions around the table as they were playing Penny
• 15:25
  Anti poker and I never heard them talk about it.
• 15:29
  So that means it didn't impact them.
• 15:31
  And my uncle Al was 1 smart guy, very smart guy.
• 15:35
  He knew how to accumulate gold when it was illegal to hold more
• 15:39
  than 5 oz any other way than this.
• 15:42
  So the reason why I bring that up is this is a physical
• 15:48
  representation of etherium because there is no physical
• 15:52
  etherium, right? And it's an awful lot like that.
• 15:57
  How about Bitcoin, right? And what do they call Bitcoin?
• 16:02
  Digital gold without XRP, right? Why, Ron, why are
• 16:10
  cryptocurrencies, the physical depiction of them, gold, silver
• 16:16
  or platinum? Are they trying to do the same
• 16:22
  thing? Yeah, the answer is yes.
• 16:24
  Yes, they are. They want you to think that
• 16:27
  that's just like gold and silver, but it's not.
• 16:32
  And, and there are lots of reasons for that.
• 16:35
  I, I, I always called silver the original form of cryptocurrency.
• 16:39
  I told you that before we, we went on here because of its
• 16:42
  ability. I mean, as, as I understand it,
• 16:44
  silver was used as money before gold was for several 100 years
• 16:50
  and then gold came on the scene. You know, I do want to ask you a
• 16:54
  question and see if you agree with this or can clarify it for
• 16:58
  me. I've heard it said recently that
• 17:01
  not now we're in this situation where a government, it can do
• 17:04
  whatever they want with money, obviously are, you know, with
• 17:07
  currency can print with currency can print, print.
• 17:10
  And we're in this situation where we have $37 trillion in
• 17:14
  debt and is, is the debt in the backing up of of the debt higher
• 17:21
  and higher and higher is I've heard it called the inflation
• 17:24
  tax. Are they say are people saying
• 17:26
  that because the more money that the government prints that that
• 17:31
  that and is the prices of everything then as a result of
• 17:34
  that dilution as the prices of goods and services that average
• 17:39
  people need to buy go up and up that it really is like a hidden
• 17:42
  tax on people. I'd like to thank the sponsor of
• 17:46
  this video. First meant there are silver
• 17:48
  meant located in Las Vegas, NV creating world class silver
• 17:53
  bullion products. As a matter of fact, here's a 5
• 17:57
  oz silver bar. You can check this out for
• 18:00
  yourself on their website, firstmint.com.
• 18:04
  Couple things unique about First Mint.
• 18:06
  They're owned by First Majestic Silver headed up by Keith
• 18:10
  Neumeyer, so they're getting the silver out of the ground to the
• 18:14
  mint to you from the mine to the mint.
• 18:18
  Again, you can check them out at First mint.com.
• 18:21
  Thank you to 1st Mint for sponsoring Ron's basement and
• 18:24
  sponsoring this video. Well, absolutely.
• 18:27
  And actually if you read the documentations when and they
• 18:31
  were creating this whole Federal Reserve System, that is actually
• 18:35
  what they said, what they said is for governments, we need to
• 18:40
  be able to tax more and spend more.
• 18:43
  But gold creates restrictions on what we can do if, how and so
• 18:49
  and so that's why they did that. I mean, this little 20th of an
• 18:53
  ounce backed $1.00 when they installed the Federal Reserve
• 18:59
  because what they needed and see if you haven't heard this more
• 19:02
  flexible money right now, this little thing, instead of just
• 19:09
  backing $1.00, it backed $2.40. And that's what I'm trying to
• 19:15
  bring out when I'm talking about these Federal Reserve notes,
• 19:20
  because the Federal Reserve's neither federal, you know, nor
• 19:23
  do they hold reserves. But the, it was corporate debt.
• 19:29
  And I, I'm telling you, I have all the evidence on it.
• 19:32
  Corporate debt was converted into Federal Reserve Notes and
• 19:37
  that's what actually created the Roaring 20s.
• 19:41
  But if you look on the purchasing power chart, you'll
• 19:44
  see and, and a very rapid loss of roughly 50% between 1913,
• 19:51
  actually 1914, the beginning of 1914 into 9 and into 1920.
• 19:58
  And then in the 20s, you regained a little bit of its
• 20:02
  purchasing power because that was the beginning of it.
• 20:06
  And then with that new money, that flexible money.
• 20:11
  Pushing around the system they started that was when the US
• 20:16
  started their consumer driven economy because that was also
• 20:21
  the first time in history where just the general public had
• 20:26
  access to credit right now so and and they let them have lots
• 20:32
  of credit especially in 1928. It's really an interesting when
• 20:38
  you, when you look at this because I see it again, right?
• 20:42
  It's it's history repeating itself.
• 20:44
  But in before 19, actually before 1927, I believe it could
• 20:54
  be 28, but I'm right in there. All central banks had a limited
• 20:59
  charter, right? So they were allowed to be in
• 21:02
  existence for between 15 and 20 years.
• 21:06
  Those were the typical terms, 15 or 20 years.
• 21:09
  This Federal Reserve was given a 20 year charter.
• 21:13
  Considering that they came out in 1913, that would put it that
• 21:19
  the end of their charter was 33. Well, is that a coincidence?
• 21:25
  I'm not sure, but OK. I just think it's interesting,
• 21:29
  1927 for the first time in history, the Federal Reserve
• 21:35
  where a central bank and happened to be the Federal
• 21:38
  Reserve was given an unlimited charter, an unlimited charter.
• 21:45
  And so I think it's coincidental that in 1928, that's when the
• 21:53
  big industrialists that knew that they had built this paper
• 21:57
  pyramid in the stock. Well, the public started getting
• 22:02
  into the stock market in like 27 and it kind of ratcheted up by
• 22:07
  1928, all of that that roaring 20 money was flooding into the
• 22:13
  stock market owned more by the general public.
• 22:18
  And then the Federal Reserve took the credit punch bowl away
• 22:22
  and we had 1929. OK, Now I don't know about you,
• 22:27
  but I'm watching an awful lot of risk transfer that has been
• 22:30
  taking place in here. And so I think we have a
• 22:35
  repetition. And I do not think that it's an
• 22:38
  accident that they're depicting cryptocurrencies as if they're
• 22:44
  gold. But you know what a huge
• 22:46
  difference is? I mean, there's lots of
• 22:48
  differences. Number one, this is used and so
• 22:51
  is silver. These are both used in
• 22:54
  everything single sector of the global economy.
• 22:58
  These are used in one place when you mine gold.
• 23:03
  I, I have to speak about gold particularly because silver gets
• 23:07
  used up in industry. Gold is indestructible, so it
• 23:10
  takes labor and energy to mine gold.
• 23:14
  But then, because gold is indestructible, it can be used
• 23:19
  over that same level of energy can be transferred to every
• 23:24
  single sector of the global economy an infinite number of
• 23:30
  times. Because gold is indestructible.
• 23:33
  They want you to believe that this has value because it took
• 23:36
  energy and water to create it, but it doesn't store that energy
• 23:42
  or that water. It is used up.
• 23:48
  So these are like really interesting pieces that that
• 23:54
  people don't seem to talk about or understand.
• 23:57
  But what you do need to understand, everybody needs to
• 24:01
  understand this. I mean, so I'm, I'm like as
• 24:04
  serious as a heart attack on this is there is officially
• 24:08
  virtually no purchasing power left in the currency.
• 24:12
  And so they have to create. That's what the stable coin act
• 24:16
  was about, the genius act. So I'm sure it's a genius, but
• 24:20
  OK, the genius act is about creating an additional
• 24:25
  artificial market for dollars because there's a huge race
• 24:29
  going on. We've just had abysmal, abysmal
• 24:34
  auction results from our treasuries.
• 24:37
  But it's the 10 year Treasury that underpins the global
• 24:41
  economy. So if, if, if countries and
• 24:47
  banks are not showing up to buy and hold that stuff.
• 24:52
  And that's been shifting for a long time.
• 24:54
  That's not something that's new. Then somebody needs to be buying
• 24:59
  that stuff. And what they're really doing is
• 25:01
  transferring the risk to you through stable coins.
• 25:04
  And not not necessarily to you, but all those third world
• 25:08
  countries, particularly in Africa where their currencies
• 25:12
  are hyperinflating. And so people have glommed on to
• 25:18
  the US dollar stable coins because it's not losing value as
• 25:22
  quickly. But to your point, the more of
• 25:26
  this that they do to, the less value everything out there has.
• 25:30
  And they've already gotten your purchasing power, so now they
• 25:35
  got to attack your principal. And it's that simple.
• 25:39
  It's that simple. It's, it's a, it's a actually a
• 25:42
  sad situation. And you know, I heard AI heard a
• 25:44
  data point yesterday, and I'm sure you've heard this as well,
• 25:48
  that 60% of Americans now have a negative net worth.
• 25:53
  And, and I kind of circle back to what you were saying earlier
• 25:57
  about what happened in the 19 tens 1920s.
• 26:01
  It feels like, like they kind of turned.
• 26:05
  And I can't think of a better way to say this, except you use
• 26:07
  the word slavery. But they've kind of worked to
• 26:10
  turn the country into a into a kind of a debt slavery nation
• 26:15
  where your average person from the time they go to school
• 26:20
  through the time they either graduate high school or college,
• 26:22
  never really learns about what they're taught is get into debt,
• 26:26
  get into debt, get into as much debt as you can, and then work
• 26:30
  the rest of your life to try to pay that debt off, which you
• 26:33
  probably we won't ever really be able to pay off.
• 26:35
  And and that most people, and I think that's reflected in these
• 26:39
  numbers that we've got 60% of Americans that have a negative
• 26:43
  net worth. First Mining Gold is a Canadian
• 26:45
  gold developer with two multi million ounce projects in
• 26:50
  Canada, Spring Pole in Ontario and Duparque located in Quebec.
• 26:56
  Millions of Oz of gold in the ground in Canada.
• 27:00
  Moving through the permitting process.
• 27:02
  The company has 0 pro debt and many big catalysts on the
• 27:05
  horizon. That is insane.
• 27:09
  How do they have a negative net worth?
• 27:11
  And think about the new system that was just put in place
• 27:15
  because there is not one teeny weeny itty bitty doubt.
• 27:18
  I've lived through it. I lived through it in 65 as a
• 27:21
  child, 71 as a teenager. So you know what I'm seeing is a
• 27:27
  repetition. But they just changed the system
• 27:30
  and they do say what Gold is the money of cake things, silver is
• 27:35
  the money of I think it's merchants or something like
• 27:37
  that. Gentlemen.
• 27:41
  Gentlemen, Yeah. Do you know the quote?
• 27:46
  So and debt is the money of slaves and 100% there is
• 27:51
  absolutely 0 doubt in my mind because I read their documents
• 27:56
  from the IMF. That's what I'm referring to
• 27:58
  when I say there it'll be the Federal Reserve or the
• 28:02
  International Monetary Fund or the Bank for International
• 28:06
  Settlements or the World Bank or the World Economic Forum.
• 28:10
  You know, you got to read that because most people don't.
• 28:13
  And so they're probably a bit more open and honest in there
• 28:17
  because they know people are not going to be reading them.
• 28:21
  But what the tokenization is about, and wow, I mean, the
• 28:25
  first time I came across this and started talking about this
• 28:28
  was back in 2015, was to enable people to hold all of their
• 28:34
  wealth on the phone. And let me tell you what's
• 28:37
  happening with AI and the ability to to manage people's
• 28:43
  perception by feeding them information and moving them in
• 28:48
  the direction that they want us to go in.
• 28:52
  You know, people are so dependent.
• 28:55
  And if you have have all of your wealth and all of your equity on
• 28:59
  your phone and now you're out and you're being nudged to spend
• 29:03
  that equity and you have so much of it, it's just a little bit
• 29:07
  there. And the smart contracts are on
• 29:09
  top of that. Before you know it, then we've
• 29:12
  fallen into what the World Economic Forum was talking
• 29:16
  about. Out by 20-30 you will own
• 29:19
  nothing and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself.
• 29:24
  Psychologically, you will not understand that you were
• 29:28
  encouraged to do that and I've seen that before.
• 29:31
  I've seen that with business owners, small business owners.
• 29:35
  I mean, Amazon came in in what the late 90s and Wall Street
• 29:41
  funded them. They didn't have to make money.
• 29:43
  They didn't have to charge state taxes.
• 29:46
  They didn't have to. They had a lot of advantages.
• 29:50
  But a mom and pop shop in your local community, they can't
• 29:54
  afford those losses. They have to make a profit.
• 29:57
  They have to charge you taxes. And so once Amazon had the big
• 30:02
  enough pie, well then they had to start charging taxes.
• 30:07
  But this was a set. It wasn't a level playing field.
• 30:11
  And so I know small business owners that couldn't survive
• 30:15
  because of this. This is a riggedy game.
• 30:18
  And the sooner people realize it become their own central bank
• 30:22
  and become as independent and self-sufficient in community,
• 30:25
  'cause we gotta do it in community, the better off we're
• 30:28
  all gonna be. That's our battle.
• 30:31
  Communities, everything and as you were talking, I thought most
• 30:34
  Americans when this does happen will be scratching their heads
• 30:38
  thinking how did this happen? All I did was I did what they
• 30:42
  told me to do, you know, cuz like you said, I think I don't
• 30:45
  want to, you know, sound crude when I say this, but I think
• 30:50
  that the reality is that us humans, we are very easily
• 30:53
  trainable animals. Most of us like, you know,
• 30:59
  likely myself, you know, I mean, so it's going to be an
• 31:03
  interesting ride, you know, especially when I think about
• 31:08
  and I never get political on my show.
• 31:09
  I don't say pro or Connie, but when I objectively look at
• 31:13
  what's going on in Washington, DC right now and and, you know,
• 31:17
  when I look at the big picture, like we could probably talk
• 31:20
  another two hours about this, but with the national debt and
• 31:24
  what the administration is going to do, I don't, you know, I
• 31:28
  think objectively we can look at at Donald Trump's past and
• 31:32
  realize that he's a guy that likes that and he's a guy that
• 31:35
  likes to, you know, run up. He hasn't exactly how do I say
• 31:40
  this? I guess he's accumulated a lot
• 31:43
  of wealth, but he's not a a person who's likes austerity and
• 31:48
  and you know, and that and that let's just open the floodgates,
• 31:51
  Let's cut rates. Let's do, you know, let's get
• 31:53
  this economy. And it's, it just seems, I don't
• 31:57
  know, like the the best long term interest of of, of what
• 32:01
  would really make for a long term sound to kind of like those
• 32:04
  decisions aren't going to be made.
• 32:06
  Maybe some good short term decisions, big parties, but any
• 32:09
  thoughts on that? Yes, I have a lot of thoughts on
• 32:13
  that. And I don't get political either
• 32:16
  because quite honestly, I've studied this stuff enough.
• 32:19
  And it didn't matter whether it was a debtor, a Republican in
• 32:23
  office. Things have been moving right
• 32:25
  along according to schedule. And I do believe that President
• 32:30
  Trump is a change agent. And here's the thing, right?
• 32:34
  The thing is, is that when you have this level of debt that is
• 32:40
  not payable, so if you know you're going bankrupt and you
• 32:45
  get some credit cards in the mail, you will spend them.
• 32:49
  But you see, we need a big crisis to shift us into the next
• 32:56
  system. Additionally, what I want to say
• 32:59
  is President Trump also likes gold and has been known to gold
• 33:05
  for lease payments and other things.
• 33:08
  So I honestly do believe that this is the best shot that I
• 33:12
  have seen in my entire career of getting gold back in the
• 33:17
  monetary system. But it must be redeemable
• 33:24
  because if it is not redeemable, it doesn't mean anything.
• 33:29
  And that's critically important for all of what Wall Street
• 33:32
  wants us to believe are asset backed securities, right?
• 33:38
  If you cannot convert that token into the underlying asset, then
• 33:45
  what do you have and how do you even know it exists?
• 33:49
  You don't you have to be able to redeem the asset or I mean, I'm
• 33:56
  sorry, I am not an engineer nor am IA specific kind of engineer
• 34:00
  that can understand all of that stuff behind the scenes.
• 34:05
  And that kind of makes me go, let's see, can I be taken
• 34:08
  advantage of? Probably.
• 34:10
  And just like inflation has robbed you of your purchasing
• 34:15
  power. Really interesting thought
• 34:18
  experiment is anybody can do this.
• 34:20
  Go on the Federal Reserve, Education Department, the Fred
• 34:23
  Fred, and in the search bar put purchasing power of the consumer
• 34:28
  dollar and put your birthday in there and speak how much you
• 34:33
  have been robbed since the day you were born.
• 34:36
  But you know, the problem with this stuff is that it can only
• 34:41
  go 1.00 and maybe they'll take it out a couple more zeros.
• 34:47
  But basically, this creates limitations and it would make
• 34:54
  inflation more obvious once we're fully in a digital system,
• 35:00
  OK, they can. They can still, they can't keep
• 35:03
  this game going, this debt base going, but in the new system.
• 35:07
  So this is about burning that off so they can start anew.
• 35:11
  But in the new digital system, you won't even be able to see
• 35:16
  that loss. Right.
• 35:19
  Or necessarily feel it as acutely.
• 35:22
  Yeah, Yeah. You know, it's interesting
• 35:24
  because as you were saying about I was born in 1970 and when I
• 35:29
  was a little boy, 1/4 meant something like if my mom and dad
• 35:33
  gave me a quarter because we had a dime store near our house,
• 35:37
  whatever, that was cool. You know, that was a big deal.
• 35:40
  My daughter's now are 13. And this is interesting because
• 35:44
  it was just yesterday or the day before, they had a couple
• 35:47
  friends over and they'd gone to the, we don't have a grocery
• 35:50
  store by our house. And they came back and they had
• 35:52
  change and I heard two of them, I forget how they said it, but
• 35:55
  they were like, oh, I don't even want that stuff.
• 35:57
  I don't even I don't want to deal with like like they didn't
• 36:00
  even want the change, right, Like it was worthless basically
• 36:03
  is what was communicated. I didn't say anything, but I'm
• 36:06
  thinking why? I'm like, well, what about
• 36:08
  That's money, you know, and that's what you know, But it's
• 36:12
  like these are that's it's worthless.
• 36:15
  They don't even want that. They don't even want it.
• 36:16
  They like, throw it away basically.
• 36:19
  I, I mean, I hate to tell you this, but I kind of feel the
• 36:22
  same way. I mean, as as young child,
• 36:25
  right? One of the jobs that I love to
• 36:28
  do was clean out my mother's purse for her because my was
• 36:33
  whatever change I found in the bottom of her purse.
• 36:37
  And then one day I got away with that for a few years.
• 36:40
  Honestly, that was a great gig. One day she happened to walk in
• 36:46
  when I was finishing up and she saw how much change was on the
• 36:51
  table that I got to keep. And I never got that deal again.
• 36:54
  But you know, today when somebody gives me change,
• 36:57
  because I do like to use cash, so I use a lot of cash.
• 37:01
  You know, it goes right in the tip jar.
• 37:03
  I don't even want to deal with it.
• 37:05
  So I, I can relate to that that example even inside of my
• 37:10
  lifetime where it mattered, right that that.
• 37:15
  I have a question for you. You're walking out of the local
• 37:18
  grocery store. You got your cart.
• 37:20
  You're walking to your car and out of the corner of your eye
• 37:24
  you see a nickel laying on the ground.
• 37:26
  Do you stop and pick it up or do you keep walking?
• 37:30
  I hate to admit it, I keep walking.
• 37:33
  OK. There was a day where if I saw a
• 37:36
  penny on the ground, I'd pick it up.
• 37:38
  Remember, find a penny, pick it up and all the day you'll have
• 37:42
  good luck. If it's heads up and you'd put
• 37:44
  it in your shoe and you'd walk around with a stupid penny and
• 37:49
  your shoe on me. I mean, I'm like, you know,
• 37:54
  because then I got to deal with it and I don't want to deal with
• 37:56
  it because it has no value anymore and it doesn't.
• 37:59
  It doesn't. Now if it were a silver coin,
• 38:03
  then I feel differently about it, but.
• 38:07
  It was 1/4. You might pick it up and see
• 38:08
  what year it was made, right? Right.
• 38:10
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:12
  You know, the the last thing I want to say, you said something
• 38:13
  that was very interesting to me that I hadn't really thought
• 38:16
  about. Maybe I knew, but I hadn't put
• 38:19
  together. And that is, and I'll go back to
• 38:22
  what I said earlier, One of the most powerful things you said to
• 38:24
  me the first time we talked was that things seem crazy because
• 38:28
  we're getting near the end where, you know, big, big events
• 38:31
  could happen. But what you just said now that
• 38:34
  really caught my attention, yeah, that I hadn't really
• 38:37
  thought of is that President Trump is a change agent.
• 38:41
  And and I think, like, right now, hey, the markets doing
• 38:45
  great. I know I look at the VIX index
• 38:47
  and the VIX is low and, you know, everything's dandy.
• 38:50
  Economy is, you know, but that we might be sleepwalking.
• 38:54
  Like Donald Trump is no stranger to major events.
• 38:59
  He likes kind of, and again, I'm not being political here, but he
• 39:03
  likes, he likes big things and big things to happen that that
• 39:07
  there might be some surprises around the corner.
• 39:11
  You know, I think it's going to be an interesting go.
• 39:15
  Ahead, we entered an extraordinarily interesting time
• 39:18
  and my personal opinion is that we have entered the melt up
• 39:22
  phase of this and the melt up phase.
• 39:25
  So, so markets keep going up, cryptos keep going up.
• 39:29
  I mean they're already at Nosebleed valuations, but So
• 39:33
  what that can keep going up as long as they keep doing this and
• 39:36
  putting more money out into the system that makes things look
• 39:40
  like they're going up. But that is also a trap because
• 39:46
  what we're, I also believe because of the monetary velocity
• 39:51
  that we are already in the beginning stages of the
• 39:54
  hyperinflation. It's just not quite obvious yet,
• 39:59
  but we are super close to it because I pay a lot of attention
• 40:03
  to consumer confidence. This is a con game.
• 40:06
  It requires confidence. And so we keep bouncing off of
• 40:12
  the bottom support level, in other words, the lowest that
• 40:16
  confidence in our dollar has ever, ever been.
• 40:20
  And so we that and then we kind of bounce off of it.
• 40:23
  But I'm paying attention for when we breakthrough that
• 40:27
  because technically when we breakthrough that, I think it's
• 40:32
  game over. No, I mean the beauty part about
• 40:36
  understanding the technicals is it doesn't matter what you're
• 40:39
  looking at, it all works the same.
• 40:42
  And so you know that support level.
• 40:45
  So I believe that we've entered the melt up phase.
• 40:48
  The markets will get a lot higher, crypto will get a lot
• 40:50
  higher. The bond markets, you know, I
• 40:54
  mean, now there are going to be three members on the FOMC
• 41:01
  meeting that can push the lower interest rates.
• 41:04
  And and people need to understand that what that
• 41:07
  actually means is that they want a a less valuable dollar, right?
• 41:13
  When interest rates go down, more people borrow and spend and
• 41:17
  more of this happens, right? So it puts the visible price of
• 41:21
  stuff up, but at the same time it pushes the purchasing power
• 41:26
  down. Yeah.
• 41:28
  And so, yeah, it, it's it, it's a trap and it's the way they do
• 41:34
  it. And they've done it every time.
• 41:36
  And this time is no different. And these transitions, people
• 41:41
  think we'll just slide from one end to the other.
• 41:44
  It's not the way it works. There's pain, right?
• 41:48
  You know, there's a saying that that I read years ago that stuck
• 41:51
  with me, and I apologize if I said this to you already, but I
• 41:55
  think it applies to everything we've talked about.
• 41:57
  And that is that mathematics shows no forgiveness on the
• 42:02
  altar of truth, and that not even God can change the fact
• 42:06
  that 2 + 2 = 4. You can't just, you can't just
• 42:09
  make value and wealth out of nothing.
• 42:12
  And, and I love what you said earlier because I agree with you
• 42:16
  100% that it feels like as a country where I think you use
• 42:20
  the analogy of a family, but like as a country that if you
• 42:24
  know you're, if you know you're going to be claimed.
• 42:26
  Like if I knew that Susie and I were going to be claiming
• 42:28
  bankruptcy and I go out to get the mail here in a little bit
• 42:31
  and somebody sends me a credit card with a $8000 limit on it.
• 42:35
  And I know that I'm doomed or we're doomed already, we're
• 42:38
  going to go spend the $8000, right?
• 42:40
  And it really sadly feels like as a country as a whole, that's
• 42:45
  where we are right now. So always fat.
• 42:49
  I want to show your website, I need to show your website and I
• 42:51
  need to show your YouTube channel.
• 42:53
  But before I do that, there's somebody who wants to say hello
• 42:56
  to you. If you have just 30 more
• 42:58
  seconds, I know it's one of your favorite, one of your favorite,
• 43:01
  one of your favorite people. I don't know if you remember
• 43:04
  him, but he's he's inside this box and he has a recession on
• 43:09
  one side and inflation on the other.
• 43:11
  And it's your old friend Jerome Powell with his toilet paper
• 43:15
  money in there. So he's he got he was shaking.
• 43:20
  He was shaking when he saw you shooting your dollars.
• 43:23
  And then one other last question for you.
• 43:26
  Who Who cleans up all those dollars after you're done
• 43:29
  filming that you shoot out during the?
• 43:34
  Go to the gym, I do it all day long.
• 43:36
  And you know, Tiger Stacker gave me this.
• 43:38
  I love that. I might just use it.
• 43:40
  But you know, opium, right? Not a plan.
• 43:46
  It's not a plan. And that is what at Zang
• 43:50
  Enterprises is that we have our sound money strategy that I
• 43:55
  developed for myself since I've been studying currencies and
• 44:00
  currency life cycle since 1987. And so they're all customized,
• 44:05
  but it's about making sure because here's the reality, when
• 44:09
  1 Fiat money dies, another one is going to pop up.
• 44:13
  But what gold and silver do for you is they are the bridge to
• 44:18
  hold your purchasing power intact from one system into the
• 44:24
  other system and dare I say it, enable you to take advantage of
• 44:29
  the crisis. Never let a good crisis go to
• 44:32
  waste. Why is it always the 1% that
• 44:34
  take advantage of it? Because wealth never disappears,
• 44:38
  it merely shifts location. How about having the wealth
• 44:43
  shift your way? What a flipping concept.
• 44:47
  Yeah, yeah, And it's, and it's and gold and silver have a
• 44:51
  perfect track record of defeat, of winning against Fiat
• 44:55
  currencies for thousands of years.
• 44:57
  You know, all those different bills you have that you can hold
• 45:00
  up. This is not what the what, what
• 45:02
  gold and silver are facing right now with the US dollar.
• 45:06
  This is not their first rodeo. They've been doing it.
• 45:08
  Yeah, they've been doing it for a few years.
• 45:10
  They've been at it for a few years.
• 45:12
  I'm going to pull up your. I'm going to pull up your
• 45:14
