- 0:28Speaker 2: Well, hello everybody, I'm Andy Schackman. I suppose you all
- 0:32Speaker 2: know that by now. To my right is Carrie Lutz,
- 0:34Speaker 2: and I'm sure all of you know that by now.
- 0:37Speaker 3: And for a.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Long time I've been going on everyone else's show and wondering, well,
- 0:42Speaker 2: maybe I should attempt to do my own. So Carrie,
- 0:46Speaker 2: my new neighbor, was kind enough to come over and
- 0:50Speaker 2: help get me set up, and we figured we.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Launch show number one.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I don't even have a name for the show yet,
- 0:57Speaker 2: but it's something I've been meaning to do.
- 0:58Speaker 3: With the Miles Franklin Report.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Oh oh, all right, the mild strengthening part there it is,
- 1:02Speaker 2: so yeah, little by little. Maybe we'll call it little
- 1:06Speaker 2: by little then all at once. That's my favorite mantra.
- 1:09Speaker 2: In fact, I got a picture over there that speaks
- 1:13Speaker 2: to that. I had it made Little by Little then
- 1:15Speaker 2: all at once. It means a lot to me. There's
- 1:17Speaker 2: a lot you could say for logarithmic decay and how
- 1:21Speaker 2: it feeds into the world these days, whether it be economically, socially, morally,
- 1:28Speaker 2: you name it.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Things just seem to be.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Changing little by little, and then you wake up one
- 1:32Speaker 2: day and it's all at once. And so anyways, so
- 1:35Speaker 2: too is my aspirations of starting a show.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Little by little by little.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I've been attempting to do this, getting pieces and having
- 1:44Speaker 2: them sit unopened on my desk and finally carry twisted
- 1:47Speaker 2: my arm enough to get this going. So we figured
- 1:51Speaker 2: since we just got everything set up, we talked a
- 1:53Speaker 2: little bit about silver. Carrie was prodding me to ask
- 1:58Speaker 2: me why silver wouldn't get above thirty. I mentioned that
- 2:01Speaker 2: it did today, and he was saying, do you think
- 2:03Speaker 2: it would stay there? And why the hell hasn't it
- 2:05Speaker 2: gone higher?
- 2:06Speaker 3: Is that about right? Yeah? I think that pretty much
- 2:09Speaker 3: sums it up.
- 2:09Speaker 4: But before we get into that twenty five hundred dollars gold,
- 2:14Speaker 4: So technically twenty five hundred means nothing, but psychologically in
- 2:19Speaker 4: the world that's a quarter of ten thousand. I mean
- 2:22Speaker 4: it's a big, big number, okay, And we finally breached it,
- 2:28Speaker 4: and we're met universally with yawns all across the globe
- 2:33Speaker 4: except for the people who know.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I find that crazy.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Actually, to be honest with you, the lack of any
- 2:41Speaker 2: media participation, in the lack of any fanfare whatsoever, is
- 2:47Speaker 2: shockingly quiet. I mean, coming from someone who's done this
- 2:51Speaker 2: for thirty five years almost. You know, when gold was
- 2:55Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty two dollars, if you told me
- 2:57Speaker 2: it would be ten times that price, and it would
- 2:59Speaker 2: have virtually no attention and virtually no investment by the
- 3:05Speaker 2: United States mainstream. Rick Ruhloffen talks about one half of
- 3:09Speaker 2: one percent allocation from Joe and Jane six pack all
- 3:13Speaker 2: the way up to the Harvard Endowment Fund, and something
- 3:15Speaker 2: that you follow, perhaps a little bit more closely than
- 3:17Speaker 2: I do, the mining shares.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Now.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I have a mining share portfolio because I've worked very
- 3:22Speaker 2: closely with sprot USA for a very long time, and
- 3:25Speaker 2: out of respect, since they have been kind enough to
- 3:28Speaker 2: trust me with their clients, I haven't managed to count there,
- 3:31Speaker 2: and I don't even know exactly all the shares that
- 3:34Speaker 2: I own. I trust my broker there, who's a friend
- 3:38Speaker 2: well enough to represent my best interests and that might
- 3:40Speaker 2: not be the smartest way to do things. But the
- 3:42Speaker 2: bottom line is is that I know I have a
- 3:45Speaker 2: nice allocation to mining shares. And what's even more startling
- 3:50Speaker 2: to me is that if you told me gold would
- 3:52Speaker 2: be twenty five hundred dollars and the mining shares would
- 3:54Speaker 2: be beaten down the way that they have, I would say,
- 3:56Speaker 2: there's just no possible way that that could happen.
- 3:58Speaker 3: What do you think?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Good?
- 4:00Speaker 4: And little by little, you know, but Neumont just to
- 4:08Speaker 4: just announced it a couple of weeks ago, like record earnings,
- 4:12Speaker 4: and I almost bought options on that stock, but doesn't
- 4:15Speaker 4: count didn't do it, but it was at forty forty
- 4:18Speaker 4: one forever and it didn't move, and then all of
- 4:21Speaker 4: a sudden, hey they had four hundred million dollars a
- 4:25Speaker 4: higher profit.
- 4:27Speaker 3: And Numont went up.
- 4:28Speaker 4: So the quality juniors are going to get bought up.
- 4:34Speaker 4: There is no other choice because the majors, the Nuance,
- 4:37Speaker 4: the Achnigo's, the the barracks, they're all seeing declining reserves.
- 4:43Speaker 4: So that's the argument for it. Why it hasn't gone up. Well,
- 4:48Speaker 4: I think that there's a lot of people have lost
- 4:51Speaker 4: a lot of money in the sector over the years,
- 4:54Speaker 4: and they're they're literally going to have to be dragged,
- 4:58Speaker 4: kicking and screaming get back into it. But that's the opportunity.
- 5:02Speaker 4: You know, Hey, how long do we sit around and
- 5:05Speaker 4: wait for gold to get this point?
- 5:06Speaker 2: I think that's really it, though, Carrie's I mean, I
- 5:09Speaker 2: think that is really hitting the nail on the head
- 5:11Speaker 2: is that it's like the little boy you cried wolf
- 5:15Speaker 2: and the market doesn't believe it. I think that's what
- 5:18Speaker 2: it is. In fact, I think even the bulls don't
- 5:20Speaker 2: believe it. That we've witnessed so many pullbacks that are
- 5:27Speaker 2: counterintuitive that were so far past when this should have
- 5:32Speaker 2: all happened, and it's happened.
- 5:33Speaker 3: So many times, and how many times do I need
- 5:35Speaker 3: to hear it?
- 5:36Speaker 2: And I think the market just doesn't believe it. And
- 5:40Speaker 2: that's what to me potentially makes this so very strong.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Rick was talking about Rick rule about in this environment
- 5:48Speaker 2: he would expect to see the majors go first, the
- 5:50Speaker 2: ones that you mentioned, the barracks and the numents, and
- 5:55Speaker 2: the the mid tier majors, and then the juniors, and
- 5:59Speaker 2: then the explorations and of course also the maybe my favorite,
- 6:03Speaker 2: the royalty stocks that royalty is for sure, but it's
- 6:08Speaker 2: interesting when you put it in that light. And I
- 6:10Speaker 2: think the same thing is true about Silver. People just
- 6:15Speaker 2: don't believe that it will go. And I think that
- 6:19Speaker 2: that that's fair. That's a fair point. We've watched it
- 6:24Speaker 2: get hammered for so many years and so many times
- 6:27Speaker 2: when the fundamentals would say that it shouldn't. And yet
- 6:31Speaker 2: Gold here we are showing or leading the way. Now
- 6:35Speaker 2: that's also typically the way things go. Gold typically leads
- 6:38Speaker 2: the way in these moves and Silver follows suit, oftentimes
- 6:42Speaker 2: outpacing percentage wise, Gold's gains.
- 6:46Speaker 3: He said something to me.
- 6:48Speaker 2: This afternoon that made me say, well, why didn't I
- 6:50Speaker 2: show the PowerPoint that I did at Rick's show, at
- 6:54Speaker 2: least a few of the slides to explain in my
- 6:57Speaker 2: mind why Silver has been back. I'm going to share
- 7:01Speaker 2: my screen if you don't mind, Carrie, and I'm going
- 7:03Speaker 2: to show people here.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Gre England. So we go.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I'm still a rookie year, all right. I hope we're
- 7:12Speaker 2: sharing our screen. I think we are all right of it.
- 7:15Speaker 2: So we're going to skip past this one. We don't
- 7:19Speaker 2: need any of that nonsense. But here's a smoking gun,
- 7:22Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned, Right, So let's start here. Now,
- 7:26Speaker 2: this you can google all of this. This is and
- 7:29Speaker 2: this is courtesy of the pickaxe. And John Little is
- 7:31Speaker 2: a hell of a hell of a researcher. I will
- 7:36Speaker 2: give him that. And he's he's brought a lot of
- 7:38Speaker 2: things to the market that a silver bug should be
- 7:42Speaker 2: thankful for, and this is one of them. There's a
- 7:45Speaker 2: subcommittee in October of nineteen forty two, a subcommittee subcommittee
- 7:49Speaker 2: hearing on banking and currency. You can see at s
- 7:52Speaker 2: dot two seven sixt eight, And it was a bill
- 7:55Speaker 2: to authorize for war purposes the silver held are owned
- 7:59Speaker 2: by the United States. And as you can see here
- 8:01Speaker 2: just by reading the first couple of paragraphs here, the
- 8:05Speaker 2: present consumption of silver for war purposes is at a
- 8:08Speaker 2: rate of about one hundred million ounces a year and
- 8:10Speaker 2: is growing rapidly. According to the War Production Board, it
- 8:13Speaker 2: is only a matter of months before war demands will
- 8:15Speaker 2: have increased sufficiently to require at least two hundred million
- 8:18Speaker 2: ounces a year. All right, So that's nineteen forty two, right,
- 8:22Speaker 2: And if we think about where we are now, I
- 8:26Speaker 2: gave a speech where at Jay Martin's conference in Vancouver
- 8:30Speaker 2: two years ago where I said to the audience, there's
- 8:34Speaker 2: five hundred ounces in the tip of a Tomahawk cruise missile.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Excuse me.
- 8:38Speaker 2: And the man came up to me after the speech
- 8:41Speaker 2: and he said, you know, I'm a consultant for the DoD.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I worked on the team that developed the Tomahawk, and
- 8:50Speaker 2: I know that they're silver, and I don't know how
- 8:52Speaker 2: much I'll let you know. And I never heard from
- 8:54Speaker 2: him again. But I went back there this year in January,
- 8:58Speaker 2: gave a different speech, and there he was and was
- 9:00Speaker 2: standing there with a handful of photos. Said you remember me.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I said, I do, and he showed me a bunch
- 9:06Speaker 2: of photos said, don't worry, this is all declassified. He said,
- 9:08Speaker 2: but you're right. There is between thirteen and fourteen kilograms
- 9:12Speaker 2: of silver in the tip of a Tomahawk. And he
- 9:15Speaker 2: showed me all sorts of pictures and how they had
- 9:17Speaker 2: difficulty getting it to launch vertically because it was meant
- 9:20Speaker 2: to design to come out of torpedo tubes of a
- 9:24Speaker 2: submarine and all sorts of stuff.
- 9:25Speaker 3: It was an interesting conversation, but what I took.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Away from it is that in these high tech weapons,
- 9:30Speaker 2: silver is used and copiously at that. So in any case,
- 9:34Speaker 2: keep that in mind as we move forward. Here in
- 9:36Speaker 2: nineteen forty two, where told two hundred million ounces would
- 9:39Speaker 2: be need for military equipment, and the level of sophistication
- 9:43Speaker 2: is exponentially higher. Now so here are the supply demand
- 9:48Speaker 2: numbers that come out of the Silver Institute. And if
- 9:51Speaker 2: we look at the demand section here, first of all,
- 9:54Speaker 2: we see once again there's one two hundred and sixty
- 9:56Speaker 2: million ounce shortfall projected between supply and demand. But look
- 10:01Speaker 2: at the demand totals. We have industrial demand which is
- 10:06Speaker 2: solar nine percent, electrical and electronics, of which photovotalics twenty percent,
- 10:12Speaker 2: raising alloys and solders three percent.
- 10:14Speaker 3: By the way, I have a client who is.
- 10:16Speaker 2: A mechanic for United Airlines, is said, the amount of
- 10:21Speaker 2: silver solder inside these airplanes is extraordinary. Anyways, other industrial
- 10:27Speaker 2: three percent or nine percent, photography negative three percent, jewelry
- 10:31Speaker 2: for silverware seven net investments sol Nowhere in here do
- 10:35Speaker 2: we see military applications at all zero And yet we're
- 10:39Speaker 2: told there is a two hundred plus million ounce shortfall.
- 10:42Speaker 2: We are told that we are running out of silver
- 10:46Speaker 2: in above ground. And when we look at the supplied
- 10:49Speaker 2: demand numbers, nowhere on there does it mention military and
- 10:52Speaker 2: in nineteen forty two we know they were using up
- 10:55Speaker 2: to two hundred million ounces a year.
- 10:57Speaker 3: And as a.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Result, take a look at this and maybe this chart
- 11:02Speaker 2: will help unders go or what's happening.
- 11:07Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 11:07Speaker 2: If that's in your way, it is to get another
- 11:09Speaker 2: micro good here. So this is the comax market. And
- 11:13Speaker 2: if you can see, the red line represents the four
- 11:16Speaker 2: largest commercial banks short and the green line represents the
- 11:21Speaker 2: eight largest. So the four plus the other four. So
- 11:24Speaker 2: there are eight banks in essence right now, eight banks,
- 11:27Speaker 2: all Western banks, and we can say they would be
- 11:29Speaker 2: Standard Charter, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JP, Morgan City Bank, Bank
- 11:35Speaker 2: of America, Goldman Sachs, and I don't know who else.
- 11:39Speaker 2: But the point of it is is that there are
- 11:41Speaker 2: eight commercial banks right now that have the largest concentrated
- 11:46Speaker 2: short position of any commodity ever traded in the history
- 11:48Speaker 2: of the comex market period. And you have to ask yourself,
- 11:52Speaker 2: why the hell would eight banks be shorting silver wind
- 11:54Speaker 2: Countries like India have imported over seven hundred million ounces
- 11:58Speaker 2: last year over the last two years. Rather, why would
- 12:01Speaker 2: they do that when China right now, according to Shan
- 12:05Speaker 2: Kun Kun from Dali Varden and according to others that
- 12:08Speaker 2: I've talked with who have publicly told me in videos recently,
- 12:12Speaker 2: that China is going all around Latin America buying up
- 12:15Speaker 2: the dore bars and the silver concentrate, paying way more
- 12:19Speaker 2: than the West will pay, and doing so to get
- 12:22Speaker 2: it in unrefined fashion, send it back to China and
- 12:25Speaker 2: refine it there so it's not pulled off of an exchange,
- 12:28Speaker 2: it isn't factored into any pricing mechanism, it's in essence invisible.
- 12:32Speaker 2: And this from the second largest producer of silver in
- 12:35Speaker 2: the world, China, who has just become a net importer
- 12:40Speaker 2: instead of a net exporter. So when you look at
- 12:43Speaker 2: countries like China and India who are voraciously accumulating silver
- 12:47Speaker 2: using this stupidity, this brain dead weaponization of the commodity market,
- 12:52Speaker 2: where eight banks are suppressing the price of silver to
- 12:55Speaker 2: this degree, to the degree of the largest concentrated short
- 12:58Speaker 2: position ever seen. And look when we contrast it to
- 13:00Speaker 2: crude oil way down here. Remember how they put crude
- 13:02Speaker 2: oil and negative forty of barrel in twenty twenty. The
- 13:05Speaker 2: fact that you have eight banks shortening this price tells
- 13:07Speaker 2: you there's something important about silver. Now, think about what
- 13:10Speaker 2: we were just saying. Think of all of the weapons
- 13:14Speaker 2: that are being created, the high tech weapons and aerospace
- 13:16Speaker 2: and stealth bombers and all of this stuff that the
- 13:20Speaker 2: military industrial complex is involved in.
- 13:23Speaker 3: We just voted to.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Give another I don't know, one hundred and fifty million
- 13:26Speaker 2: dollars or so on top of all the billions they've
- 13:29Speaker 2: given the Ukraine, and almost all of it is in weaponry,
- 13:31Speaker 2: all of it. They're giving all of this money to
- 13:33Speaker 2: the military industrial complex to make high tech weaponry. And
- 13:36Speaker 2: the only way that they're able to create this stuff
- 13:40Speaker 2: and to sell it all around the world is to
- 13:42Speaker 2: keep the price of silver down. And what is interesting
- 13:46Speaker 2: about that when you see this and then look at
- 13:48Speaker 2: this frame, we can see that the people around the world,
- 13:53Speaker 2: like China and India are using this suppression against us.
- 13:56Speaker 2: They understand what we are doing, They understand that we
- 13:59Speaker 2: are holding down the but they were never motivated, coordinated, sophisticated,
- 14:03Speaker 2: wealthy enough and to stand for delivery.
- 14:06Speaker 3: But that's what they are doing.
- 14:07Speaker 2: And this is the LBMA and the London Bullion Metal
- 14:09Speaker 2: Association who said it's the second lowest or nearly the
- 14:13Speaker 2: lowest amount of silver they have ever had in their
- 14:15Speaker 2: vaults since they.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Started keeping records. You're seeing the same thing on comes.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Massive deliveries and rehypothication on comex of over fifteen hundred percent,
- 14:25Speaker 2: where fifteen people think they own the same contract. If
- 14:28Speaker 2: everyone stood for delivery, one may get the silver, the
- 14:32Speaker 2: rest get cash settled. It was like Bernie Madoff had
- 14:34Speaker 2: a good deal going until people said, give me my
- 14:36Speaker 2: money back. So this is what I wanted to show
- 14:38Speaker 2: you and get your opinion. You're feeling on it. So
- 14:42Speaker 2: the question really to me is if silver is it
- 14:46Speaker 2: more or less? Not even industrial? To me, it's strategic.
- 14:49Speaker 2: It's needed in so many things, including military, and they
- 14:52Speaker 2: strip it from the supplied demand numbers. We have eight
- 14:55Speaker 2: banks shortening it to the degree that no one's ever
- 14:57Speaker 2: seen in any commodity ever. And then we see this,
- 15:00Speaker 2: We see the vaults being bled dry, and they're being
- 15:02Speaker 2: bled dried by the countries who are now smart to
- 15:06Speaker 2: our Khan and are using it against It's kind of
- 15:09Speaker 2: like jiu jitsu, where you use your opponent's leverage against them.
- 15:13Speaker 3: This is why silver hasn't gone.
- 15:14Speaker 2: And this is what I think when we talk about
- 15:16Speaker 2: little by little, by little by little bit bang all
- 15:18Speaker 2: at once. The all once moment is when there is
- 15:20Speaker 2: no silver left to be delivered on these Western exchanges,
- 15:23Speaker 2: and then it moves to the Shanghai. So this finished
- 15:26Speaker 2: one more thing, and I'll let you jump in here.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Shanghai silver has been priced four bucks and an ounce
- 15:31Speaker 2: higher for the past couple of months than LBMA, and
- 15:34Speaker 2: then by COMEX. It's continuing to go higher. And in
- 15:37Speaker 2: the past roughly three months, the combined volume of the
- 15:43Speaker 2: Shanghai Metals Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange has gone
- 15:46Speaker 2: up over two hundred percent, and that volume now surpasses
- 15:49Speaker 2: the COMEX, effectively making it the second most highly traded
- 15:54Speaker 2: exchange in the world behind the LBMA. It is gaining legitimacy.
- 15:58Speaker 2: And when these exchanges are viewed for the scam that
- 16:01Speaker 2: they are. This leveraged, rehypothecated game where no one ever
- 16:06Speaker 2: stood for delivery allowed us to fool the world into
- 16:10Speaker 2: thinking our bond market and our currencies and all of
- 16:13Speaker 2: these commodities we needed. You know, one was of strength
- 16:17Speaker 2: and the other is to suppress the price. All of
- 16:19Speaker 2: this will be exposed and you will see I believe
- 16:22Speaker 2: a repricing of metals and repricing of commodities off of
- 16:26Speaker 2: these exchanges to exchanges across the globe where the people
- 16:30Speaker 2: who run these exchanges are the ones who produce it,
- 16:33Speaker 2: accumulate it, and understand it. And we have really squandered
- 16:37Speaker 2: I think the privilege of being able to set these
- 16:40Speaker 2: prices with a fair exchange, because the concept of a
- 16:43Speaker 2: fair exchange, in my opinion, through rehipoplication through the LBMA
- 16:49Speaker 2: able to trade almost three billion ounces of silver per day.
- 16:53Speaker 2: That's three and a half times annual global mind supply.
- 16:56Speaker 2: It's coming to an end, and that's why I think
- 16:59Speaker 2: silver hasn't on yet.
- 17:00Speaker 3: And this is what I wanted to show you. So
- 17:02Speaker 3: what do you think. Am I on something or on something?
- 17:05Speaker 4: Do you remember the guy Beerman and he was around
- 17:08Speaker 4: like when I first started in the space, and he said,
- 17:13Speaker 4: silver is the worst investment in the world, and it's
- 17:17Speaker 4: going to continue to be the worst investment in the
- 17:19Speaker 4: world until one day you're going to wake up and
- 17:22Speaker 4: silver is going to be the best investor.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Yeah, in the world.
- 17:25Speaker 4: And it seems to me that that's where we're we're heading.
- 17:31Speaker 4: I don't know if those the actual military consumption is
- 17:35Speaker 4: hidden in those numbers. I don't know if they're sitting
- 17:38Speaker 4: on a huge, huge mountain of it someplace in the US.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Very possible because my understanding was for World War Two
- 17:48Speaker 4: they accumulated way more than they ever needed. They needed
- 17:51Speaker 4: it from the atomic bomb, I believe, and they were
- 17:54Speaker 4: sitting on, like, you know, billions of ounces of it.
- 17:58Speaker 4: I have no idea how much. And you know, I
- 18:02Speaker 4: think it's very likely though, that there's an awakening coming here.
- 18:07Speaker 4: And just like we figured out the emperor had no cortex,
- 18:12Speaker 4: we're going to figure out that the emperor's jewelry is
- 18:16Speaker 4: is eight carrot gold filled fake stuff right that the
- 18:20Speaker 4: crown jewels got hopped a long time ago with the crown.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Well, you know, Big Sweir did a great interview last year.
- 18:28Speaker 2: I remember I was out in the backyard. You know,
- 18:31Speaker 2: I do a lot of research for my podcast, and
- 18:33Speaker 2: so i'll listen to your show. I listened to the
- 18:35Speaker 2: one with Martin Armstrong recently and which was fantastic, and others,
- 18:40Speaker 2: and to gather information to talk about I spent a
- 18:42Speaker 2: lot of time researching, and I remember laying on the
- 18:45Speaker 2: raft and my swimming pool listening to Big Squear's three
- 18:48Speaker 2: part interview with Jack Sermon, and he's the man who
- 18:53Speaker 2: developed really the silver eagle program for the US Mint.
- 18:55Speaker 2: He seventy five years old, and I don't know if
- 18:57Speaker 2: he was clearing his conscience or what, but I literally
- 18:59Speaker 2: fell almost into the pool after he said what he said.
- 19:03Speaker 2: And I think it's an interview people should really listen
- 19:05Speaker 2: to and ask yourself, you know, is there a fine
- 19:08Speaker 2: line between conspiracy and reality? And I have a hard
- 19:11Speaker 2: time believing that there isn't And I don't look at
- 19:15Speaker 2: myself as being conspiratorial, but when you look at the facts,
- 19:19Speaker 2: it just continually all around us. And one of my
- 19:23Speaker 2: favorite lines lately is is it too stupid to be stupid?
- 19:26Speaker 2: Or is it too stupid to not be planned? But
- 19:28Speaker 2: when we listened to what Jack Sermon said, he said, look,
- 19:32Speaker 2: this was in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, he said,
- 19:36Speaker 2: you know, the Mint came to me and they said,
- 19:38Speaker 2: we want you only to release as few silver eagles
- 19:42Speaker 2: as you possibly can to hold back public outcry. And
- 19:48Speaker 2: in all of twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,
- 19:51Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, most of it the US MINT was
- 19:53Speaker 2: the model of inefficiency, where I could import coins from Australia,
- 19:58Speaker 2: South Africa, United Kingdom at fractions of the price of
- 20:02Speaker 2: silver eagles, which we were buying back from the public
- 20:05Speaker 2: at eleven bucks over spot, twelve bucks over spot selling
- 20:08Speaker 2: for thirteen overspot or fourteen overspot. Massive premiums, massive spreads,
- 20:14Speaker 2: not enough silver to go around. And he said he
- 20:17Speaker 2: was told to do that from his superiors. Well, who
- 20:19Speaker 2: would his superior be. That'd be Janet Yellen.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yeah, the Secretary of the treasure.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Right And so Janet said, you know, just as few
- 20:25Speaker 2: as possible. This went on for three years. He said,
- 20:28Speaker 2: you know, before I was working for the MINT, I
- 20:32Speaker 2: was on the supply side. I was an authorized purchaser
- 20:35Speaker 2: for one of the big companies, and I know how
- 20:37Speaker 2: this side works. And they came to us at the
- 20:39Speaker 2: end of last year. At the time, it would have
- 20:41Speaker 2: been twenty twenty one. I probably are twenty twenty two
- 20:44Speaker 2: he was talking about, and he said, we'll take another
- 20:46Speaker 2: thirty six million, or they said we'll take another thirty
- 20:49Speaker 2: six million coins, and we gave him like another twelve million.
- 20:52Speaker 2: The point of it is is that the US MINT
- 20:54Speaker 2: is supposed to issue as many silver eagles as is
- 20:56Speaker 2: demanded by public. It's in the chartered law, and they
- 21:00Speaker 2: didn't one hundred percent.
- 21:02Speaker 3: They didn't.
- 21:02Speaker 2: So were they Are they stockpiling silver? Were they putting
- 21:06Speaker 2: it away and viewing it as strategic? And when you
- 21:09Speaker 2: look at at the goal that went missing, uh, from
- 21:13Speaker 2: Saddam Hussein and from Kadafi? Where did all of that
- 21:16Speaker 2: gold and silver? And what about the twelve billion that
- 21:19Speaker 2: that the Ukraine sold to fund the war? My point
- 21:22Speaker 2: is is that we don't update any of these numbers
- 21:25Speaker 2: gold and silver. But I will tell you they, in
- 21:27Speaker 2: my mind carry the military industrial complex is probably the
- 21:30Speaker 2: ones pulling the string.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Uh not not Biden? And sure everything right.
- 21:35Speaker 2: And so if you need silver to make these weapons
- 21:38Speaker 2: and to make high tech aerospace and weaponry and even
- 21:42Speaker 2: you know, even things like you know, nuclear submarines, you
- 21:45Speaker 2: need lots of silver. You have to keep the price
- 21:48Speaker 2: down or very quickly you end up in trouble. I mean,
- 21:51Speaker 2: and maybe it is a conspiracy, maybe I am off base,
- 21:54Speaker 2: but when you see them take it out of the
- 21:56Speaker 2: supply demand numbers, and when you see seven Western banks
- 22:01Speaker 2: shorting a commodity that is globally demanded and running out
- 22:05Speaker 2: of availability. In terms of its geologic footprint, it's at
- 22:09Speaker 2: a seven to one ratio right now, meaning seven ounces
- 22:12Speaker 2: of silver for every one ounce of gold mine. It
- 22:15Speaker 2: was sixteen to one for five thousand years. So it's
- 22:17Speaker 2: decreasing in nature really at the same time it's accelerating
- 22:21Speaker 2: and its uses take military out of it. You have
- 22:23Speaker 2: green and digital applications and ed copious amounts of it.
- 22:27Speaker 2: You know, this green new deal. Without silver, you're in trouble.
- 22:30Speaker 2: And of course the new Samsung battery. As someone who
- 22:35Speaker 2: you know, I think you might drive at Tesla and
- 22:37Speaker 2: now they're talking about state. Yeah, they're talking about these
- 22:40Speaker 2: new batteries that will charge in nine minutes and will
- 22:44Speaker 2: you know, go like six hundred miles or whatever it is,
- 22:47Speaker 2: And that's a game changer. But they will take over
- 22:50Speaker 2: a kilo of silver per car, And so, you know,
- 22:56Speaker 2: is a conspiracy?
- 22:57Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do know that there was
- 22:59Speaker 3: a whole.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Disortium of companies in Canada that have petitioned the Canadian
- 23:03Speaker 2: government to reclassify silver as a strategic metal. In my mind,
- 23:07Speaker 2: there on to something and we ought to do the
- 23:10Speaker 2: same thing too. Maybe we have we just haven't been
- 23:12Speaker 2: honest about it and instead are doing the shenanigans like
- 23:15Speaker 2: this in order to fund the ever, ever increasing war
- 23:19Speaker 2: drum that we see all around the world.
- 23:22Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's definitely beating loudly now, that's for sure.
- 23:27Speaker 4: You know, it's hard to know. It's kind of like
- 23:32Speaker 4: going to have to connect the dots after it happens,
- 23:35Speaker 4: because we're not able to connect the dots as it happens.
- 23:39Speaker 4: We get some glimpses here and there, we get some indications,
- 23:43Speaker 4: but we never really know for sure until the dam bursts.
- 23:47Speaker 4: But clearly something isn't right. Why silver, of all the
- 23:52Speaker 4: commodities in the world, is there that kind of short position.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Is it just oh, we make so much money at it?
- 23:58Speaker 4: And remember remember what happened to bear Stearns right, and
- 24:03Speaker 4: then they had to hand off the shorts because they
- 24:06Speaker 4: were gone. So it seems like something is a miss. Well,
- 24:11Speaker 4: that's another video that people need to watch. That's probably
- 24:13Speaker 4: the most important video I've ever watched in this industry,
- 24:17Speaker 4: and that's Chris Marcus Arkadie Economics. His video with Bart Chilton,
- 24:22Speaker 4: who was the former head of the CFTC, the Commodity
- 24:24Speaker 4: Future Trading Commission the Commodity Police, where he admitted to
- 24:28Speaker 4: Chris in an interview, he said, yeah, bear Stearns failed
- 24:31Speaker 4: and we called we being Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke
- 24:37Speaker 4: called Jamie Diamond into the office and said we need
- 24:40Speaker 4: you to take over bear Stern Short position. I think
- 24:43Speaker 4: the way it happened was, hey, Jamie, it's great to
- 24:46Speaker 4: see you. You are now the proud owner of bear
- 24:50Speaker 4: Stern's silver short position, right, welcome to Wall Street.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Well, and that's pretty much the way it went. And
- 24:55Speaker 2: Jamie said, well, listen, guys, I'll do it, but I
- 24:57Speaker 2: don't really want it. I'll be in violation of position limits. Okay,
- 25:01Speaker 2: that's fine. Just to get your house in order. You
- 25:04Speaker 2: have like ninety days to do so, and all is good.
- 25:07Speaker 2: While at the end of the ninety day period, he
- 25:09Speaker 2: said he went into his superiors and said, well, Jamie
- 25:12Speaker 2: didn't in fact didn't shorten his position. He's increased it.
- 25:14Speaker 2: He's in violation of our agreement in antitrust law. They
- 25:17Speaker 2: need to be prosecuted. And he said this on Chris's
- 25:21Speaker 2: podcast and google it Chris Marcus Arcadia Economics Part childon
- 25:25Speaker 2: he said he was told to back down that it
- 25:28Speaker 2: was a political decision, whatever that means. And he died
- 25:33Speaker 2: about a week later. And I'm not saying there's a
- 25:35Speaker 2: coincidence there.
- 25:36Speaker 3: But he did. He died, and he admitted this.
- 25:38Speaker 2: In Chris's show. Maybe he was clearing his conscience. I
- 25:41Speaker 2: don't know. But when you think of of JP Morgan
- 25:45Speaker 2: receiving a nine hundred and twenty million dollar fine for
- 25:47Speaker 2: suppressing the metals market, they're head trader Michael Noak, who
- 25:50Speaker 2: I had lunch with in New York City a few
- 25:53Speaker 2: years back. He didn't even know I was at the table.
- 25:56Speaker 2: There were about twenty guys there, and he's in prison.
- 26:00Speaker 2: And yet that year their medals desk, JP's metals desk
- 26:04Speaker 2: made a billion dollars. They were fined nine hundred and
- 26:07Speaker 2: twenty million, they get to keep the eighty million, and
- 26:09Speaker 2: they're still allowed to be the custodian of the world's
- 26:12Speaker 2: largest silver trust.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Something is wrong.
- 26:14Speaker 2: But when you think he was then told the back
- 26:17Speaker 2: down was a political decision, And now think about what
- 26:20Speaker 2: I was saying about suppressing the price of silver to
- 26:22Speaker 2: fund military industrial complexes, acquisition and development of high tech weaponry.
- 26:27Speaker 2: So this is a lot bigger than it just being
- 26:29Speaker 2: a commodity that is used for solar panels. And there's
- 26:34Speaker 2: a lot that goes on that we don't know about,
- 26:36Speaker 2: but I will tell you this. Martha Stewart went to
- 26:38Speaker 2: jail for insider trading and JP Morgan is handed the biggest,
- 26:43Speaker 2: the biggest fine the Justice Department ever laid out, and
- 26:45Speaker 2: yet they're still allowed to be this custodian of the
- 26:47Speaker 2: of SLV talk about the filest guard in the henhouse
- 26:50Speaker 2: in trust shaving. Well, that's the point. And I just
- 26:54Speaker 2: think people when we talk about connecting the dots, it's
- 26:57Speaker 2: you know, I've been doing this for four years publicly
- 27:00Speaker 2: saying this is what I think a lot of it's
- 27:01Speaker 2: come true, which is very scary, and I'm out here
- 27:04Speaker 2: saying this.
- 27:05Speaker 3: It's too stupid to be stupid. Wake up.
- 27:07Speaker 2: And you know, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm stupid per
- 27:10Speaker 2: saying it, but I will tell you this carried nothing
- 27:13Speaker 2: I have ever heard would would explain why you have
- 27:16Speaker 2: eight banks shorting a commodity like this that is in
- 27:21Speaker 2: a massive you know, this is a shortage now going
- 27:27Speaker 2: on three years.
- 27:27Speaker 3: This is a structural shortage.
- 27:29Speaker 2: It's not getting better in an asset that is, it's
- 27:32Speaker 2: depleting in nature, it's increasing in industrial applications and monetary applications,
- 27:37Speaker 2: and yet you have all these banks shorting it, with
- 27:39Speaker 2: countries like India and China voraciously accumulated.
- 27:42Speaker 3: It seems as dumb as a mud wall to me.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Well, our government has never been the brightest, that's for sure,
- 27:49Speaker 4: and they certainly haven't gotten smarter over the years.
- 27:53Speaker 3: So there and they're they have.
- 27:55Speaker 4: It's run by sociopaths, so they have no limits, no
- 28:00Speaker 4: constraints to anything they do. So anything you're telling me
- 28:04Speaker 4: would not surprise me. It's true. It seems more likely
- 28:08Speaker 4: than not something is going on there. Something's amiss, something,
- 28:12Speaker 4: doesn't they add out, you know, the biggest commodity market
- 28:16Speaker 4: in the world energy, right, and the hedges out there
- 28:20Speaker 4: are like mini school compared to this.
- 28:23Speaker 3: So that's the point.
- 28:24Speaker 2: That's that's the point in silver is such a small
- 28:26Speaker 2: market why And I think that if it were one
- 28:30Speaker 2: or two banks, fine, but eight banks holding down the
- 28:32Speaker 2: price of the way that they are, it's just something
- 28:36Speaker 2: is silly about all this. And like I said, when
- 28:38Speaker 2: you see China flying around the world paying way more
- 28:41Speaker 2: than the West will pay for unrefined silver and concentrate
- 28:44Speaker 2: and sending it back and refining it there. That means
- 28:46Speaker 2: all of that silver they're buying directly from the from
- 28:49Speaker 2: the miners themselves isn't coming off of an exchange, and
- 28:53Speaker 2: so the price isn't affected. And not to mention, how
- 28:57Speaker 2: many people know, they're the second largest producer of silver
- 28:59Speaker 2: in the world behind Mexico, and the largest producer of
- 29:04Speaker 2: gold in the world. And they were always net exporters
- 29:07Speaker 2: because of all the by product mining they do of
- 29:09Speaker 2: other metals, and they would have tons of extra silver
- 29:12Speaker 2: if they're smelters. That's now all being kept in house,
- 29:15Speaker 2: and they are a net importer. I think Zolty and
- 29:18Speaker 2: Posar would be the guy that I would like to
- 29:20Speaker 2: have on your show if I were you and someday
- 29:23Speaker 2: online doubt because he's talking about Bretton Wood's three he
- 29:27Speaker 2: or she who has the commodity's wins, And I think
- 29:29Speaker 2: China and India and the bricks nations are trying their
- 29:31Speaker 2: best to show us that without.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Showing it to us. If you will, Yeah, what is
- 29:36Speaker 4: Celeni say? Went in doubt to start a laurer right?
- 29:39Speaker 2: And he also says when people lose everything, they lose
- 29:41Speaker 2: it is it? Well, Harry, I really do appreciate you,
- 29:46Speaker 2: you know.
- 29:46Speaker 3: I know this was a little bit raw for our
- 29:48Speaker 3: first first goal. We didn't have anything really to talk about,
- 29:52Speaker 3: or I always got things glad to talk about. My
- 29:54Speaker 3: wife tells me, and I never shut up. I can
- 29:56Speaker 3: always go.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Just put a quarter in me, but I know, yeah,
- 29:59Speaker 2: she should. I do appreciate you hooking me up like
- 30:03Speaker 2: this and nourice. This will be number one of a gazillion,
- 30:06Speaker 2: and I'll make sure that you're back again sometime soon, Joshua.
