- 0:00So you want to. Be a silver.
- 0:02Gold and mining stock millionaire.
- 0:05Somebody says that could. Happen within the next five
- 0:07years, we're going to hear. Why?
- 0:09But first. Most importantly, welcome to the
- 0:12basement, where we are basement dwellers right now.
- 0:15We believe in the future. Of silver and gold because we
- 0:19understand. History and basic mathematics.
- 0:23We also got some other big. Stories to cover today.
- 0:26In the precious metal sector. The rally.
- 0:29Of a lifetime in silver. We're going to hear why.
- 0:32We're going to check in on those $300.
- 0:34Silver calls, are they still? Telling us $300.
- 0:38Silver. And how soon?
- 0:40Something really. Crazy.
- 0:42Interesting. A new concept.
- 0:44That's very supportive for Silver about the big AI bubble.
- 0:49Trend, whatever you want to call it, that's going on right now,
- 0:52but something we haven't talked about and really nobody's
- 0:55talking about. That is very good for silver,
- 0:59also copper, but particularly silver.
- 1:02It sheds a whole new light on what's going on.
- 1:05We're going to talk about a move by our.
- 1:06U.S. government, Yeah, the most powerful government on the face
- 1:10of the. Planet.
- 1:11That has to do. Directly with the precious
- 1:13metals, also Russia, Russia's doing something with gold that
- 1:19is fascinating. It all ties in with what's going
- 1:22on in India and China and. We're going to have our daily.
- 1:25Dose of doom and gloom. The world is ending.
- 1:29We are heading towards. Catastrophe.
- 1:31But we'll save that for the end. Let's start with the.
- 1:33Rally of a lifetime. After.
- 1:36We check on the silver price and gold price.
- 1:39This is the live spot. Price, we are down 1.
- 1:42Dollar and $0.35 in silver. There will be.
- 1:45Green days there will be red days, both of which are
- 1:48volatility. Do you remember it was like. 3-4
- 1:52years ago if we had a one. Dollar move and silver look.
- 1:55I don't like it. You don't like it when we see.
- 1:58Red on the screen. But we're kind of.
- 2:00Used to this like but 3-4. Years ago, this would have.
- 2:03Been like Oh my. God, what's happening the.
- 2:06Is falling and really. Guys with what?
- 2:08We've been going through lately and you know what?
- 2:10Let's let's run out and take. A look at the silver chart.
- 2:14This is not as concerning. As it probably was to us, like I
- 2:20said two or three years ago, this is the July silver.
- 2:25Futures contract on the COMEX and that's a one year chart, OK,
- 2:30I mean. Look at that.
- 2:32It's, I mean, truly incredible. I have to draw it again, right?
- 2:36We are in this zone right here. And as long as we stay in that
- 2:41zone. We're going to be OK.
- 2:43And the longer we stay in that zone.
- 2:47The stronger the silver price. Becomes building an incredible
- 2:52base, right And same thing for gold, from which we could.
- 2:55Catapult. Much.
- 2:57Much. Higher in the coming what, 6
- 2:59months a year? We're going to check in on the
- 3:01next the $300. Prediction within months, but I
- 3:05mean guys. Really.
- 3:08Right. We are just.
- 3:09Like consolidating and building a great base.
- 3:12I know red days are no fun but look, think back one year ago
- 3:16right now. We had to sell.
- 3:17Over price at what, $3334? I I digress.
- 3:21Let's talk about the silver. Rally of a lifetime.
- 3:25And then we got a ton more to. Cover So glad you're here with.
- 3:29Upstairs, Susie and I today. This comes from the.
- 3:32Ferocious research for Rocky. And they look legit.
- 3:36Don't they? It's says you right he's.
- 3:38Talking to us silver bowls silver.
- 3:43Balls. Get ready for the.
- 3:45Rally of a lifetime in the next few months.
- 3:49And it's interesting why they're saying this.
- 3:51Sit back and enjoy. The Feroshi Research Show.
- 3:55In real time, OK in this he's he's relating this to oil.
- 4:01Or she, I don't know. If it's a he or she, but anyway.
- 4:03WTI crude oil sell off? Is almost.
- 4:07Here right, because higher oil. Prices have.
- 4:10Have resulted in higher interest.
- 4:12Rates and most everybody. Saying that's.
- 4:14Why silver and gold aren't? Breaking out.
- 4:17OK, WTI. Crude is.
- 4:18Officially gone 70 days. Without printing a new high
- 4:24since its initial peak back in March historically.
- 4:27And we like history when? Crude fails to make a new high.
- 4:31Within an average of 60. 8 days of a strong run it.
- 4:34Begins a staircase lower if this is the cooling.
- 4:39Factor for the 10 year bond interest rate to briefly put a
- 4:43halt on its recent. Surge Metals and silver.
- 4:47Silver. Can wake up from here and
- 4:50forward. So what they're calling?
- 4:52For is a decrease. In the crude oil price, look, I
- 4:57think that's in the best interest.
- 4:59Of the political. Leadership of the United States,
- 5:02I think that's in the best interest.
- 5:04Of the political leadership of. China, the two most powerful
- 5:09countries on the face of the earth.
- 5:11If oil goes down, OK, look not. But if when oil goes.
- 5:16Down it will be rocket fuel, absolutely for the gold.
- 5:21Price and the silver price. What he lays out there.
- 5:24Actually makes sense. It'll make.
- 5:26Interest rates they need. Look the US.
- 5:28Government right now, especially think about it with midterm
- 5:31elections coming up. The the the leadership in
- 5:34Washington needs lower interest rates and lower for oil.
- 5:38Prices you can rest assured. In China needs the same thing.
- 5:42Again, those are the two most powerful countries on the face
- 5:45of the. Planet, you will rest assured.
- 5:48That that they will do. Everything in their interest for
- 5:50that to be the. Case and by the way, the gold
- 5:52and silver price will. Skyrocket from there.
- 5:54OK, let's talk about. A tantrum in the silver price.
- 5:59Let's check in with Michael Oliver.
- 6:01We're going to watch a few minutes of a very recent
- 6:03interview he did. Where he addresses this idea
- 6:07that we could have 3 to $500 silver sooner as opposed to
- 6:12later. He was on with the Gladiator and
- 6:18I've got this all. Queued up for you let's.
- 6:20Hear what he has to. Say about.
- 6:22Upcoming moves in the Silver. Price.
- 6:26The next phase should get silver, I think in a tantrum
- 6:29mood and level probably within three or four months.
- 6:34The issue is to break up out of this consolidations violent
- 6:37consolidation zone. I think we're in the process of
- 6:40that right now despite today's pull back.
- 6:44Right. So we're going to go through a
- 6:46period of consolidation, a lot of chop back and forth.
- 6:48And then we're about to emerge. Yeah.
- 6:50Right. And so do you still have the
- 6:52three to $500 target by sometime in the summer, maybe late
- 6:56summer? Yeah, I still think it's quite
- 6:59reasonable. I can come up with it so many
- 7:01different ways. And this pullback that we had
- 7:06measured by our momentum trend metric.
- 7:08So he's still calling for that within the next.
- 7:12Three months. Let's go out here a.
- 7:14Little bit further. I wanted to play the last minute
- 7:16for you as well because he has some keen insights to share.
- 7:20We call that sharp break in January.
- 7:22February stopped at 66 bucks on silver.
- 7:25We shot back up to 90. We lived in a range and when the
- 7:29war came out in early March, we have a sell off began in silver
- 7:32again and gold they both went out and they knocked out that
- 7:36low. The Feb low at 66 on silver went
- 7:40to 61 for about two hours. That's how fast it was.
- 7:45They broke the low, ran all the cell stops goodbye and
- 7:50immediately reversed and shot back up into the range like haha
- 7:53fooled you. OK, it was a bear trap.
- 7:56And I think that was the low, the March 23rd low at 61.
- 8:00And I think now you probably got support right around where you
- 8:02are in the mid 70s and all you got to do now is inch back up
- 8:06again toward those highs. The the the high we saw the week
- 8:09this week, 90 bucks and you're out of here.
- 8:12OK, once we get the 90 bucks, then we are out of here.
- 8:15I want to give proper credit. That's James Conner from Bloor.
- 8:19Street Capital, they're a respected.
- 8:21Firm in the precious metal sector.
- 8:23Michael Oliver, right? Talking, telling us once we get.
- 8:26Above 90, once this violent, excuse me consolidation that
- 8:31we've been living through for what, two months?
- 8:34I don't know, three months? Was that January 4 months?
- 8:39It's longer than we thought. OK, once we break out.
- 8:43It could be smooth sailing again, so hang on.
- 8:47Guys because is the future looks bright for silver I.

- 9:58VIP. Like very important person RB
- 10:02Ron's basement and would. It would it have been a good
- 10:04idea? For us to buy silver.
- 10:07Back in 1964, I wasn't born yet, but maybe you were.
- 10:12Or maybe your dad or your grandpa was.
- 10:15Would it wait till you see this? Would it have been a smart idea
- 10:19to buy silver? Back then, let's head out to
- 10:23this. Hold on here, I love this from
- 10:31the Silver Crusader. Even a smoked out knuckle
- 10:35dragger like myself can see the money's broken.
- 10:39Cheeseburger math says silver beat inflation from 1964 to
- 10:441926. This is very interesting. 10
- 10:51Dimes in 1964 bought about 5 McDonald's cheeseburgers. 10
- 10:56modern Dimes. Won't buy half of 1 cheeseburger
- 11:01but 101960. 4. Dimes today by about 20
- 11:07McDonald's cheeseburgers. Same face value, totally
- 11:12different money. And look at the graphic.
- 11:15That shows it right there. Right, 1964 with 10.
- 11:19Dimes. You could buy yourself those
- 11:21five McDonald's cheeseburgers with today's.
- 11:24Fiat. Dimes right?
- 11:26You can buy 10 with 10 Dimes for $1.00 you can buy about.
- 11:31Half of a cheeseburger. But those 1964 Dimes when you
- 11:37account? For the silver.
- 11:38That's in them. Will buy about. 20 cheeseburgers
- 11:43the big key take away here is we talked about silver maintaining
- 11:47its value well I. Would say measured in
- 11:50cheeseburgers. From. 1964 through today it
- 11:55actually increased in. Value right?
- 11:57You can actually. Buy.
- 11:59Four times more cheeseburgers today.
- 12:02With your with your silver. Dimes then you could have been
- 12:0619. 64 But those Fiat. Dimes that you in 1965 traded in
- 12:12your 10 silver Dimes for 10 new Dimes made out of what?
- 12:16Zinc and maybe a little. Copper.
- 12:19Those 10 Dimes. Today would buy you half of 1
- 12:23cheeseburger. What?
- 12:24About, I mean guys. We got to realize.
- 12:26Something powerful if this commodity.
- 12:29Super cycle materializes like I believe that it will like.
- 12:34All the top analysts. Right.
- 12:36Even people in the AI sector are saying are moving money from AI
- 12:40into the commodities because they know that AI needs
- 12:44commodities it. Are we?
- 12:46Are we? On the verge of potentially
- 12:48becoming millionaires. We're already basement dwellers.
- 12:53And that's fine. We know.
- 12:54The future of Silver. And gold.
- 12:56But what about actually? Becoming millionaires.
- 12:59Multi millionaires. Or or just.
- 13:01Wealthier than we are. Listen.
- 13:04We're going to listen to. A short clip.
- 13:06From from someone who's in the mining.
- 13:09Sector. He's the CEO.
- 13:10Of a mining company, Terry. Lynch shared this with us.
- 13:14Mining will create more millionaires than AI.
- 13:19Over the next decade yet? Everyone is chasing chips and.
- 13:24Software. Here's why.
- 13:26Real money is in what? Powers.
- 13:28All of it it all. Needs metals, it all needs in
- 13:32particular silver and I've got something I'm going to share
- 13:35with you about AI and and silver in a little bit.
- 13:38It's a whole new concept that'll get us even more.
- 13:41Excited about the future of silver supply?
- 13:44Is constrained from discovery to.
- 13:47Production. The average mine takes around
- 13:4918. Years to be built.
- 13:52And demand is growing faster than at any point in the last.
- 13:5730 years. Let's listen to this.
- 13:59Clip This guy is the. CEO of Power Metallic.
- 14:06So they're a big mining company. Let's listen to what he has.
- 14:09To say about what the future looks like for metals investors.
- 14:14Firmly believe over the next five years there'll be more
- 14:16millionaires made in mining investment than any other form,
- 14:19IEI, you name it, let's double click on that.
- 14:21Why? Well, because it's it's so
- 14:24undervalued right now. You're buying it $0.10 in the
- 14:26dollar and it's so desperately needed.
- 14:28So capital is definitely going to come.
- 14:30There's no stopping it now. It's so desperate, so urgently
- 14:33need it. Do you think, you know, three
- 14:35years ago, nobody was talking mining at a, at a presidential
- 14:38level or premise level. Now everyone's talking mining.
- 14:41So, so yeah, the mainstream is about to come into this sector
- 14:44in a big way. And it's a, it's a very small
- 14:46pipe. There's a lot of water wanting
- 14:48to get through it, you know, So, so so as a result, you know, the
- 14:52things will go tenfold and a hundredfold here, just like they
- 14:55did in crypto firmly save over the next five years, they'll be
- 14:59more millionaires made in mining investment than any other form
- 15:02IEI, you name it. OK, we we hope.
- 15:07And I personally. Believe he's right, but he'd
- 15:10like he talked. About right when the mainstream
- 15:12wakes up. When the other 90. 8% of the
- 15:14people. Out there.
- 15:16That have no idea what's going on with metals we like to
- 15:19affectionately refer. To those people as the the
- 15:23sheeple that it's a. Very That concept is so
- 15:27powerful. It's a very small pipe.
- 15:30That a lot of money. A lot of water, however.
- 15:33You want to think about it is going to want.
- 15:36To get through he. Also brings up another important
- 15:39point. The government, right, The
- 15:41governments around the world think.
- 15:43About it are on a scramble it's literally a scramble to secure
- 15:48metals now next I want to. Talk to you about something that
- 15:51that I learned yesterday about AIA.
- 15:55Whole new concept that gets me even.
- 15:57More excited about silver? And I want to.
- 16:00Share that with you first. I want to say thank you to
- 16:03channel sponsor First Mining Gold, their Canadian gold
- 16:06development. Stage Company.
- 16:08That has that has 2. Multi million ounce development
- 16:12stage gold projects in Canada. Right, that's a rarity.
- 16:17Number one. To have multi million.
- 16:19Oz development stage projects #2 For it to be in a great
- 16:24jurisdiction like Canada, they're working these projects
- 16:28through the development phase spring pole in Ontario.
- 16:31And one that I. Actually visited called du
- 16:34Parquet. In Quebec.
- 16:36It's real, it's there, it's. 1,000,000 ounces of gold in the
- 16:39ground. You can learn more about them at
- 16:42their website, firstmininggold.com.
- 16:45Now let's talk about this. Exciting new concept about AI we
- 16:49all know. Like AI is the big.
- 16:51Thing, It's all everybody is talking about.
- 16:53The AI stocks are like what most people.
- 16:56Say are in bubble. Territory.
- 16:58That's not the point. AI chips use a lot.
- 17:02Of silver, we know that as well. Right, we've heard about it.
- 17:05Electronics, there's nothing as electrically.
- 17:07Conductive in the world. As silver silver.
- 17:11Conducts electricity and it's. Critical to all these big AI
- 17:14chips that are. Being produced at a very.
- 17:18Rapid and increasing pace, but. Something that nobody talks
- 17:23about, which is a secret bonus factor for silver, is this.
- 17:28Those AI chips have a very short.
- 17:32Shelf life a very short. A cycle life to them, because in
- 17:38AI in the chip world, things advance so quickly that the
- 17:42chips may work great. For like a year or two.
- 17:45But then there's new chips. That come along that are.
- 17:48Faster that are better right that's that's you know how that.
- 17:51Works with technology. Things change so quickly.
- 17:54There's some. Rule law, I forget what it's
- 17:55called like processing speed, whatever.
- 17:58So the chips, it's not like, oh, we.
- 18:01Build an AI dead data. Center, we got all these.
- 18:03Chips in there. And they're going to last for.
- 18:0520 years or 10 years? No, right, They all need to be
- 18:09replaced. On a very short cycle basis,
- 18:13which means right that they're going to.
- 18:15Need more and more silver? It's not.
- 18:17Like copper, right? Like.
- 18:19Copper wiring. Heck, the copper wiring that
- 18:21runs to my house here was installed 50 years ago and it's
- 18:26still working great. OK.
- 18:27But with silver? In these chips.
- 18:30It needs to be replaced in a very.
- 18:32Fast cycle speed. And nobody's talking about that
- 18:36even. They talked about it in.
- 18:38Regard to the Internet bubble the Internet boom that happened
- 18:43in the late 90s when they. Remember, they were Elaine.
- 18:45I remember they were Elaine Fiber Rob you could get.
- 18:47Traffic jams. Around Saint Louis because they
- 18:50were laying fiber optic cable everywhere.
- 18:52Well, that fiber optic cable that works for years and years.
- 18:56Heck, that was. 20 years ago and a.
- 18:58Lot of it's just now. Being lit up, they call it right
- 19:01now. That's not the case with silver
- 19:04when it comes to these chips and the demand for these chips.
- 19:08We aren't even. Talking about solar, we're just.
- 19:11Focused on chips. The demand for these chips?
- 19:13From think about it, AI data centers.
- 19:17But also right the other. The other thing that very.
- 19:20Few. People are talking about
- 19:22robotics. We're going to have robots.
- 19:24Right. I mean, guys.
- 19:25Seriously. In like 10 years.
- 19:27When I'm down here, I will always be live.
- 19:30I will never be. This is not people.
- 19:31Said are you? AI is that Azure?
- 19:34Basement. No, this is all.
- 19:35Real will always be 100%. Real.
- 19:38That's our community. AI can't replace us.
- 19:40But I may have a robot, I may be able to replace upstairs Susie
- 19:45with a robot. But also those robots have tons
- 19:49of chips in them, OK. And they're going to need.
- 19:51To be replaced. I'm telling you, robot.
- 19:57Robot. Yeah, robots.
- 19:58Right, robots. OK.
- 20:01Well, that's a great. Example Everybody say hi to
- 20:04upstairs Susie I. Guess I'm saying robot wrong.
- 20:08But that's a great. Example of why I may.
- 20:11Decide to replace her with a robot.
- 20:13Robot. Robot.
- 20:14No. She's irreplaceable.
- 20:16We love you, Susie. So think about it, OK, Then on
- 20:21top of that, you got solar. Remember, Bloomberg just told us
- 20:27yesterday that by 2032. I know that seems like a long
- 20:33time from now, but it's not. That long?
- 20:35It's like 6 years from now. Solar.
- 20:38Will be the numero Uno. Source of electricity in the.
- 20:43World. Think of all those solar panels
- 20:46on all those. Roofs, right, Powering all those
- 20:50chips. That need to be.
- 20:51Replaced every two or three years, whatever, right?
- 20:54Short cycle time chips, Microchips don't last 20.
- 20:59Years or 10 years? OK.
- 21:01It's incredible. And then on top.
- 21:04Of that. We're having a little silver.
- 21:08Party this morning because that's.
- 21:09What we like to do? I'm telling you demand.
- 21:12For silver jewelry, because silver is the most beautiful.
- 21:15Metal in the world? I love gold, I love gold.
- 21:18Mining stocks but I personally. Think silver's the prettiest.
- 21:20Metal in the world is going to explode.
- 21:22And then on top of that, guys? The big sleeper don't fall.
- 21:28Asleep. I know you're here.
- 21:30With me in the basement, Basement dweller is tokenization
- 21:33of silver. Big companies buying big
- 21:37amounts. Of physical silver they got to.
- 21:40Buy the silver first. And then put it in a big vault
- 21:44and that's what they do. That's what their specialist at.
- 21:46Just like Google's good at storing data, Microsoft, Amazon
- 21:50with their cloud, all that. The big bolts are good.
- 21:52At storing metal better than we are they're going to store all
- 21:56this silver in these vaults and then they're going to tokenize
- 22:00it so that people. All.
- 22:03Around the world with their phones.
- 22:06Right can carry. Their silver with them
- 22:08everywhere. It's not.
- 22:09Digital silver. It's a real.
- 22:12World Asset. It's a token that is backed.
- 22:14By real metal it's going to be crazy I I don't know I.
- 22:17Can't wait when I'm sitting down here in 10 years with my robot.
- 22:21Who's full of silver? And and upstairs.
- 22:24Susie is still here. And we got solar panels on the
- 22:27roof. We're going to be having one big
- 22:30silver party, OK? I think I hit all the all the I
- 22:33get I. Have my notes?
- 22:37But let's see. Yeah, I think I hit.
- 22:39All the notes there. Oh, it's just like this idea
- 22:42with the silver needing to be replaced.
- 22:44It's just like what we talked about yesterday.
- 22:46That's that's what the basement dwellers we're a little sharper.
- 22:50Than the average bear OK, you got a little more intellectual
- 22:53horsepower you just don't look at the facts you dig in and then
- 22:56you. Dig a little deeper.
- 22:58And it it this deal with the silver?
- 23:00In the in the. Microchips is just like what we
- 23:02talked about yesterday. With the miners something
- 23:04nobody. Else is.
- 23:05Talking about, right? Where does silver, Where does
- 23:08gold come from? It comes from the miners.
- 23:11What are the miners have to do every?
- 23:12Time they dig up think. About this every time a mining
- 23:15company that's happening. Right now is we're live, there
- 23:19are mines all. Around the world digging up.
- 23:21Silver and digging up. Gold.
- 23:23But guess what? Every time they dig.
- 23:25Up an ounce of silver gold they got.
- 23:27To have a pipeline of. Future projects right in that
- 23:31pipelines are running. Dry.
- 23:33In the big, big, big thing we talked about yesterday with that
- 23:38is the. Fact is the big.
- 23:40Mining companies on aggregate. Are not investing into their.
- 23:45Pipelines. What are they doing?
- 23:47They're paying down debt. That's what they've done for the
- 23:50last 10 years. They're all trying to get.
- 23:52Out get rid of their. Debt, which I admire, that's
- 23:54great. But all this cash they're
- 23:56generating, they're not in, in, in, in, in net, in aggregate.
- 24:00They're not using it to explore for more gold and silver.
- 24:03They're paying down debt. Number one and the other.
- 24:07Thing they're doing is US share buybacks.
- 24:10They're buying back billions of dollars worth of their shares.
- 24:13They're all announcing. That it's like the new.
- 24:15Thing they like suddenly found, you know, discipline.
- 24:19They're not investing in their. Pipelines.
- 24:21So that pipeline of metal. Right, let's say for silver to.
- 24:25Put in those robots and those microchips and solar panels and
- 24:31all. The other stuff we already.
- 24:32Talked about, there's the. Pipeline is like not.
- 24:35There, it's not being invested. In OK, let's go here, the
- 24:38government gave a $3 billion loan to a precious metals
- 24:42company. What is that telling us about
- 24:45what's going on right now? Here, this came from CNBC.
- 24:51Miner. Perpetua Resources secures A2.
- 24:55Point $9 billion US loan. For an Idaho.
- 25:01Gold and Antimony project mining company Perpetua.
- 25:06OK, we just read that next bullet point.
- 25:08The agreement comes. As US looks to secure.
- 25:11Access to critical minerals and break China's stronghold on
- 25:16essential supply chains. Wait till you hear about.
- 25:19What Russia's doing, we're going to talk about.
- 25:20That later, but we'll focus. On the United.
- 25:23States of. America right now and I
- 25:26highlighted something there. It is OK in green.
- 25:31In February, the White House unveiled Project Vault, a first
- 25:36of its kind public private partnership focused on
- 25:39stockpiling minerals. Critical Minerals.
- 25:43Like the US Geological Service? Included Silver on that list
- 25:49Back in what? October of last year.
- 25:53The 12. Billion initiative includes 10
- 25:55billion from the import. Export Bank and additional. 2
- 25:58billion in private capital. The administration has also.
- 26:02Taken equity stakes in mining companies directly, including
- 26:06Rare Earth. 'S.
- 26:08Producer MP Materials. In July, the Pentagon announced
- 26:13an investment in the company that includes an off take
- 26:15agreement. As well as a price.
- 26:18Floor So our government, right? What the the?
- 26:22The big key point here is that our government, and it's not
- 26:26just the United States government, we know what's going
- 26:29on with China and India, and now we're going to talk about Russia
- 26:32next. But the government is
- 26:34recognizing the scramble in the world that's going on right now
- 26:39for critical minerals that includes.
- 26:42Silver, buckle up guys. Like the the guy said earlier,
- 26:47right? Potentially more millionaires
- 26:50are going to be made in the precious metal sector in the
- 26:53coming years. Then then probably most of us
- 26:58realize and and and and think is.
- 27:01Is possible. OK, let's talk about Russia.
- 27:04Next, before I do that, I want to say thank you to channel

- 28:17There's this. Weird.
- 28:18Thing going on in the world with with India in China as well,
- 28:23kind of this like institutionalization or
- 28:26collateralization, gold and silver are truly reclaiming
- 28:31their their place in the world. As the world's reserve.
- 28:34Currency, but now we get. This out of Russia right now.
- 28:38Remember, Russia is still a. World superpower, and this comes
- 28:43from the Moscow Times. Who shares this with us?
- 28:50Sanction payment platform A7 plans Russia's.

- 30:49OK, what's going on with China? China is encouraging their
- 30:52citizens to buy gold and silver. OK, big things going on with
- 30:57China with precious metals. What's going on with India,
- 31:01Right? India is encouraging their
- 31:03citizens to hold gold and silver.
- 31:06They have 4 decades. Then they come out with these.
- 31:11A new taxes or they reincur not new, but increase the taxes,
- 31:15import duties on silver and gold the Prime Minister.
- 31:19It tells people don't buy silver, gold, but what what
- 31:22we're? Seeing and we talked about
- 31:23yesterday in India. Is what appears to be.
- 31:26Kind of a. Again, an institutionalization
- 31:29a. Collateralization they're trying
- 31:31to suck gold and silver into. Their monetary system, OK, it's
- 31:38going on with China, it's going on with India and it's going on.
- 31:43With Russia. Think about that, China.
- 31:46India and Russia, those together, right, that though,
- 31:49though they're big company, the big countries individually, but
- 31:53together, that's a big powerful part of the world, right?
- 31:57When? At the same time, let's go to
- 31:59the doom section right now, OK, The world is moving away.
- 32:04From the US dollar. We're going to get, we're going
- 32:06to talk about that. You know what, I'll go straight
- 32:08to that and then we'll. Talk about like.
- 32:10Collapse it put. I don't.
- 32:12Want to be the town? Crier, but potential collapse in
- 32:15the United States economy. Hey, I live here.
- 32:17I don't want to see it. But let's talk about what's.
- 32:20Happening right now in the. World when it comes to the US
- 32:25treasuries in the. World de dollarizing, it says.
- 32:28From hold on now we got it up. This came from Zero Hedge
- 32:35Foreign treasury selling is getting.
- 32:38Serious at this? And we're going to, you're going
- 32:40to learn something. If you don't know this already,
- 32:44very interesting about the real way the world financial system
- 32:48has worked. For the last 50 years.
- 32:50But is changing now. You said we already know or knew
- 32:55that the bond market was starting to call BS on America.
- 32:58'S fiscal and monetary policy. According to CNBC, foreign
- 33:03holdings of U.S. Government that fell sharply in
- 33:06March as central banks. Sold.
- 33:09Treasuries to defend weakening currencies during the
- 33:12geopolitical and energy. Shock.
- 33:14Tied to the escalating Middle East conflict and I think we.
- 33:18Got a chart? Yeah, that's just that's the
- 33:20chart we've looked. At a million times, that's
- 33:22Chinese holdings of U.S. Treasuries, right in trillions.
- 33:26I mean, look at this back what, just 10 years ago, it's
- 33:31basically dropped in half. The Chinese have sold.
- 33:35Half of their U.S. Treasuries, $600 billion.
- 33:38Worth. This is.
- 33:39Where it gets interesting, this is where you can learn
- 33:42something. And we're going to talk about
- 33:43this because this underlies everything that's happened in
- 33:47the last. 4050 years but also tells us why.
- 33:51Things are changing so drastically right now and will
- 33:54be good for silver and gold. They said for decades.
- 34:00The global economy has operated on a relatively.
- 34:03Simple arrangement the United States issues.
- 34:07The world's reserve. Currency foreign governments
- 34:10recycle trade surpluses into. U.S., Treasuries, OK.
- 34:16The the and then America finances their massive.
- 34:20Deficits that we racked up because because the.
- 34:24Rest of the world willingly. Absorbs its debt.
- 34:27That that system only works as long as there is.
- 34:31Confidence in the dollar, confidence in the Federal
- 34:34Reserve, and confidence that the US government debt remains the
- 34:39safest and most liquid place on earth to park capital.
- 34:44But when major foreign holders begin reducing.
- 34:48Exposure during a period of. Rising inflation, exploding
- 34:52deficits and growing fiscal instability.
- 34:56It creates A potentially dangerous chain reaction in the
- 35:00timing for the world to be dumping Treasuries right now
- 35:05could not. Be worse.
- 35:07OK guys, this is. This is so.
- 35:11Critical to understand what happened in the world really
- 35:14since Nixon in 1971 temporarily took the United.
- 35:18States off the gold standard. We essentially racked up tons of
- 35:23debt in our country. How did we do that?
- 35:26We went to the other worlds in the country at. 1st.
- 35:29It was the Middle East, the petrodollar.
- 35:31We said yeah. Sure, we'll buy your oil.
- 35:34From you with U.S. dollars, OK. But but you have to use.
- 35:40A good portion of the proceeds. Of those dollars that we give
- 35:44you for the. Oil to buy United States.
- 35:47Debt. To buy our United States.
- 35:49Treasuries that allowed our. Government to spend more.
- 35:52Money than it was bringing in it was a.
- 35:55Wonderful arrangement some. People say we were.
- 35:57Exporting inflation, but we. Did the same thing with China
- 36:01and a number. Of other countries in more.
- 36:03Recent years, we told China, yeah.
- 36:05Sure. You know, back in the 80s and
- 36:0790s. When they were developing, yeah.
- 36:09Buy all your stuff and we'll you you can sell it to.
- 36:12Walmart you can sell. It at the dollar store, right?
- 36:15Now it's become more advanced. But yeah, we'll we'll buy all
- 36:19this stuff. From you.
- 36:20We'll run a huge trade. Deficit with you OK, we'll.
- 36:24We'll send you. All these dollars but the.
- 36:27Deal is. You got to put a.
- 36:29Portion of those dollars back into.
- 36:32U.S. Treasuries, you got to buy our
- 36:34debt. That allowed our government to
- 36:37rack up and get out of control, right?
- 36:40Spend more money than we were bringing.
- 36:42In and rack up this incredible now, right?
- 36:46Everybody's calling BS. Right, the Middle East countries
- 36:49because of what's going on. Aren't selling a lot of.
- 36:51Oil #1. And they were.
- 36:53Already starting to sell oil in Chinese yuan, some people say in
- 36:57gold in China. Is doing the same thing.
- 37:00Look the Chinese, they know how to look at the US debt clock.
- 37:04They know how to. Work a calculator.
- 37:06Things are changing. What could?
- 37:07What could? Happen could be cataclysmic for
- 37:12the US. But also for the world.
- 37:14Economy in a lot of ways, because now the.
- 37:16World we've racked up so. Much debt.
- 37:18That is, the world moves. Away from this debt.
- 37:22It's going to put the. Fed, it's going to put the US.
- 37:24Government, it's going to put the US Treasury in a very scary
- 37:28situation. Where emergency actions like
- 37:33money printing might be the only option.
- 37:37I mean, really, right, You don't.
- 37:38Have to be Albert Eisenhower, Albert Einstein.
- 37:41Whoever to look at the. U.S.
- 37:43Debt. Of fiscal situation and realize.
- 37:46That really the only way. Out.
- 37:48Is like a collapse or. B.
- 37:51Print a bunch of. Worthless worth.
- 37:53Less and less dollars. To keep the keep.
- 37:57Kicking the can down the road, a little bit further right and we
- 38:02could be at a point. Where it's coming to a real.
- 38:04Crescendo a real a real make or break.
- 38:07Type moment, right? We could be in a situation
- 38:11where. Look, I'm not calling.
- 38:13I don't want this to happen, but.
- 38:15Boy, I tell you what. When you just apply basic laws
- 38:19of mathematics. Right.
- 38:21To to what? The fiscal.
- 38:23Situation is in the United States right now.
- 38:25It is really downright scary, right?
- 38:27And you know. I don't want, but we don't want.
- 38:31These bad things to happen, but I tell you what.
- 38:34It could be a. Situation that transpires where
- 38:37you and me and other people. Who?
- 38:40Who are protecting? Ourselves with gold and silver.
- 38:45Could be very glad. That we've done that.
- 38:47Now let's look at a few more doom and gloom.
- 38:49One more segment. Of doom and gloom.
- 38:51This is about the US. Economy specifically, and this
- 38:56comes from metals and miners. I'll tell you what, I'm becoming
- 38:58more and more of a fan of metals and miners.
- 39:02They also have a YouTube. Channel, he says one crisis.
- 39:05Away. From a catastrophe.
- 39:07OK, look. Guys.
- 39:09That's the US consumer confidence.
- 39:11Level. It's the lowest.
- 39:13Collapse one of the. Lowest levels ever recorded.
- 39:17Why is that important? Because the US economy.
- 39:22Remember, we are a consumer. Based our.
- 39:24Economy is based on consumers and we're a consumer based
- 39:27economy. I don't know how to.
- 39:28Say it right, we lost. A lot of our manufacturing.
- 39:31We were. We were.
- 39:33An economy that was based on buying things from the Middle
- 39:37East. Oil.
- 39:38From China, from the from. The from.
- 39:41Asia from all these countries that manufacture and it's
- 39:45falling through. The route the US consumer.
- 39:47Confidence is drastically going down.
- 39:49But. This is where.
- 39:52This could be this is. Real.
- 39:54Data, they say the real time. Distress signal Google searches
- 39:59for. I can't pay my credit cards.
- 40:02Have hit an all time high. So wait a minute, consumer.
- 40:07Confidence hits an all time low and people going on Google and
- 40:12searching for see if I can circle this for you.
- 40:15Here it is, right here. Can't pay my credit card.
- 40:19Has hit an all time high. In the important thing to.
- 40:23Remember about. This is this is real data, this
- 40:26data, right? From Google.
- 40:28From the Google. Searches.
- 40:30Can't. Be fudged.
- 40:33I mean, heck, the. Consumer confidence numbers They
- 40:35can. Be fudged the inflation.
- 40:37Numbers that they give us. From the Bureau of Labor.
- 40:41I think it. Is and statistics.
- 40:43They can be fudged. This can't be fudged.
- 40:46This right here is. Americans going online and
- 40:51saying. I can't pay my credit cards.
- 40:54What do I do? I'll go to Google.
- 40:57And search and see what they say.
- 40:58I mean, look at how that is absolutely.
- 41:01Skyrocketing. Few more things here.
- 41:04The. Buffer is gone.
- 41:05Our personal. Savings, That's the other thing.
- 41:08I'm the I'm the bearer of bad news.
- 41:12The personal savings rate has. Plunged, confirming that
- 41:15consumers have exhausted their pandemic era buffers and are now
- 41:21living. Paycheck to paycheck, yeah, you
- 41:23see this data that like. 60 something percent of Americas
- 41:27are are living. Americans are living.
- 41:29Paycheck to paycheck the K. Shaped Illusion The top 10% of
- 41:35earners now account for about half of all.
- 41:38Consumer spending masking the severe deterioration in the
- 41:43bottom 90% of the economy, right.
- 41:47And let's talk about. That for a second.
- 41:49Why that's so important? Basically, if you live in
- 41:52America, and a lot of you do, but if you don't, what's
- 41:55happened in this country is it's become essentially a country of
- 41:59haves and have nots. Right, they called AK shaped.
- 42:02Economy where there's that 10% that are are buying are doing
- 42:06all the all the consumerism buying all the ones that.
- 42:09Get to go out to. Eat and spend. $100 or 150.
- 42:13Dollars for a family of four. It's becoming this very
- 42:16segmented economy. It's not going to work.
- 42:19There's 22. Big things to remember about
- 42:22that, number one. That 10%.
- 42:25The reason they feel so? Rich.
- 42:27Is because of the stock market and a lot of people think the
- 42:29stock market's in a bubble. If the stock.
- 42:31Market were to have a major correction.
- 42:33That part of the economy. Would go bye bye.
- 42:37The other thing to remember, just overall, generally speaking
- 42:41at some point. It's they've become so.
- 42:44Greedy the top 1%, two percent, 10%.
- 42:48So. Greedy and things have become
- 42:51so. The inequality is so, so strong
- 42:56in the country. Right now that the bottom. 90%
- 42:59might just say forget it, think about this.
- 43:02I like to use. This analogy, it'd be like if me
- 43:04and you went to a poker game together.
