Biden is Weaponizing Economic Sanctions Against US Companies w/ Dr. Kirk Elliott · Man in America Podcast

  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. I'm sure you've been watching what's unfolding at the border. It's not just a small border crisis. What we're seeing is the cracks forming in our nation.
• 0:13
  We're seeing states go up against other states, states aligning with each other against the other states. We're seeing roughly half of our nation now forming an alignment. Right? We've been here before folks, and it was called a civil war. But what we're also seeing is that the states that are actually going against the other states, they're banning together because they're opposing the federal government.
• 0:33
  They're standing up against Biden's administration that is trying to force them to keep these borders open, and it could get ugly. But what we also just witnessed was basically what you'd really consider the weaponization of financial sanctions against American companies, specifically targeting a lot of companies that we based in Texas. So this is a really important topic to understand from the financial perspective. And so joining us today to help us wade through this and understand it is my good friend, Doctor. Kirk Elliott.
• 1:02
  So folks, please enjoy the interview. Kirk, as usual, it's great to have you on. How are you doing?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great. It's great to be back.
• 1:11
  Seth Holehouse: Very much so. I wish it was somewhat better circumstances in terms of the overall state of our world, our country, and this rogue government, which we're now seeing. Like, if you look at what's playing out in Texas, I mean, it's it's kinda the beginnings of I'm not sure if you caught necessarily a civil war, but of a war of states versus federal government. I mean, it's very significant, which would probably turn into civil war if it goes a natural course because you would have the states that are against the federal government's overreach, and you'd have the states that are for the government, you know, federal government's overreach. It's not pretty, but there's some interesting news about a the economic aspect of this war that you and were just talking about before we started recording.
• 1:59
  So walk us through what's happening with that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's it's I think it's more than a than a battle of states versus the federal government. Right? I think it's an ideological battle as well. Because I I was reading yesterday how this group, the army of god, is, like, caravanning down to Texas to to like, it's like the truckers' caravan. Right?
• 2:24
  So they're going down to have personal citizens help defend the border. Well, I saw what did they classify those truckers as yesterday? Christian terrorist organization. Right? So it's now it's like, okay.
• 2:40
  I see what's coming next. Right? It's it's it's gonna be mayhem and a battle of ideologies and separation of of people groups and religious groups and, you know, and it's they're using Texas as the catalyst for that in the border. Right?
• 2:55
  Seth Holehouse: So saying these So right this far right convoy is calling for civil war. Of course, it's it's it's their fault. Right?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Of course, they're calling for I mean, they're not calling for civil war. They're going down to help protect the border. Right? But but what is n NBC and MSNBC and all the talking heads on mainstream media saying, is a dangerous, dangerous Christian terrorist organization? It's like, what?
• 3:22
  They're just trying to help Texas protect its border. Right? And so, anyways, you this is the ideological battle that's going to be playing itself out, manifesting itself big. So what is the Biden administration doing to retaliate against Texas? I mean, he's using politics as a weapon, and they're weaponizing politics.
• 3:42
  So just over the weekend, this news came out that and it's from the White House. This is on whitehouse.gov. Their fact sheet, the Biden Harris administration announces a temporary pause on pending approvals of liquefied natural gas exports. So what is America really good at? Oil and gas.
• 4:03
  I mean, truly, we're really good at oil and gas. So what is Biden doing? He's basically putting economic sanctions on US companies saying you can't export liquefied natural gas to Asia or to Europe or anywhere for that matter. Right? So usually economic sanctions are held for like rogue terrorist nations like Iran or Russia or something like that.
• 4:28
  It's like, hey, we don't like what they did in Russia. It's like, we don't like what you're doing in Ukraine. We're going to put all of these sanctions on your country. They do that against Iran all the time. He just did it on his own people in America.
• 4:41
  One of the most productive things that we have as a country, oil and gas, you basically halted any new applications for exports. Man, this is getting really ugly really fast because that will kill the economy. If we can't export oil and gas, I mean, we don't use it all, but we export most of it. This is not going to be a good economic move moving forward. But here's where I don't think they care.
• 5:08
  I really don't think they care. Ideology basically Trump's or is a higher placement than economic freedom or people's livelihood. They want to send a message here that it's our way or the highway. You're going go with this globalist ideology rather than states' rights. And if you don't like it, well, then we're just gonna impact your wallets.
• 5:34
  I mean, this is what they're doing.
• 5:36
  Seth Holehouse: Well, look at even the the first sentence of this. This is the, you know, White House fact sheet. It says president Biden has been clear that climate change is the existential threat of our time, and we must act with the urgency it demands to protect the future generations protect the future for generations to come. It's like, how do you like okay. Climate change is the existential threat.
• 6:02
  It's about the terrorists pouring across our borders. It's not the mutilation of of of the genders and and the children. I mean, it's this. And so one question that I have is given what's happening in Texas, do you think that this is some sort of underhanded attack on Texas and the oil companies and gas companies? Because you know, Texas is the you know, for a lot of a lot of ways, it's the it's the center of oil and gas in America.
• 6:31
  Obviously, you know, other con you know, places like Alaska, etcetera, but you always think Texas is big oil.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Well, think that because of the timing of this, it's like, Okay, it is what it is. I mean, they've been talking about climate change forever. But why stop exports of gas to other countries earlier this week. Well, it does impact Texas a lot. And so I started thinking, I mean, this might be kind of a reactionary or radical thing to say, right?
• 7:04
  But why would they do that? You look at Texas, you look at Alaska, you look at Oklahoma, you look at Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, a lot of natural gas producing states. Who in the world is going to vote for Biden if he kills their jobs? Well, I'm thinking, I don't think they care because I think in their mind, they've already got the election thing figured out, the voting thing figured out. Right.
• 7:32
  So it probably doesn't matter to them. This ideology of this globalist superstate where they can control every aspect of our lives through a new central bank digital currency that's coming, the control of people's income, ideology based spending, where you can live, when you can travel, now possibly new pandemics coming up like what we've seen in Colorado with with the Ebola vaccine. I mean, really? All of Denver Health took the Ebola vaccine, the big hospital in Downtown Denver. And the lab that's manufacturing and testing the stupid Ebola vaccine is in Colorado Springs, Sixty miles down the road from us.
• 8:20
  And it's like, what? And then Governor Polis comes out with immunized Colorado. And it's like, why in the world are they preparing for a next pandemic that doesn't exist yet? And they're saying it's possibly going to be a hemorrhagic fever. It's like, what is going on here?
• 8:36
  And because they were asked at the hospital, why are they doing this? And said, well, we have to prepare for the next pandemic. How do they know it's a bootleg? So you've got that kind of people control. They motivate by fear.
• 8:50
  They control by fear, same way that they're doing it in Texas by saying, we're going to impact your income. If you don't comply, we're not going to let all of these amazing US companies export LNG or liquefied natural gas to Europe or Asia or anywhere else. I mean, they controlling by fear and what they can take away. Which a better way to get a populist to actually comply is the opposite spirit. It's a spirit of love.
• 9:20
  It's a spirit of freedom. It's like you work hard, look at all this stuff that you're going to get. It's completely the opposite of how they're managing things.
• 9:31
  Seth Holehouse: And so how long do you think these sanctions will will last and which may be a difficult thing to answer. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's almost impossible to answer because I can't even believe they're there to begin with.
• 9:44
  Seth Holehouse: And what effect will this have in the long term?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: My word. So you take away our ability to do what we're best at as a country. I think oil and gas is one of them. You've got all the pipelines. You've got all the refineries.
• 10:03
  You've got all the Gulf oil that's coming in all these states, Texas and Oklahoma, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania. This is a lot of jobs. I think the economic fallout is disastrous. And so what you're going to see is loss of tax revenue. You're going to see loss of wages.
• 10:21
  You're going to see companies, mom and pop store owners, in a lot of small towns and big cities in Texas and Oklahoma, it's like, they're not going to have any revenue streams coming because people are losing their jobs. They're not going to be able to afford. This is, to me, the weaponization of politics like nothing I've ever seen. Can you remember a time when a US President actually did economic sanctions on his own people? I can't think of a time.
• 10:49
  I really can't think of a time. I can think of when they did it against Libya, Iran, Russia, some of these other rogue terrorist nations. They do that all the time as a weapon to fight terrorism. But they're doing it here. Oh, but they're already calling that caravan going down to Texas the Army of God a Christian terrorist organization.
• 11:13
  So the rhetoric is increasing pretty rapidly, and it's based on ideology. It's truly based on, do you believe in the globalist agenda or not? And if you don't, we are going to hurt you economically or with any means necessary. It's like, we're going shut down your business. We're going to make you scared of a pandemic.
• 11:37
  We're going to make sure that your income is not there. We're going to tell you when you can travel and where you can't travel based on a climate change agenda. I mean, this is just complete loss of freedom.
• 11:52
  Seth Holehouse: It's also crazy the timing of this considering the Obama, his movie that just recently came out, leave the world behind, which was all about civil war, all about basically creating so much tension and confusion. Eventually, everything something pops off and you've got civil war. There's another big movie literally called civil war that's coming out soon. I mean, you can see their programming with this. You can see it.
• 12:19
  And if you look at those, I mean, you know, if, you know, rewind, say, a couple weeks or a month or so, you're watching this Obama movie thinking about, gosh, civil war in America. That'd be crazy. And and here we are. I mean, you can see that, like, I I I pray to God that we won't have civil war in America because I think it becomes a the the pretext for martial law for the UN coming in, or just it opens us up for that kind of chaos. It's just inviting an enemy nation like China or Russia to come in.
• 12:47
  Iran, you're inviting them to come in on American soil if if we're like that. So I hope that that isn't what happens. But, I mean, you seem to be pretty critical of Biden, but the GDP just saw 2% growth. Right? I mean, isn't there some isn't Bidenomics, like, really working for us, working for the average man?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing to have that 2% growth. Right? At least it's growth. However, it's not really growth. I I think that's kind of budging the numbers a lot of it, not even a little bit.
• 13:19
  So as we've talked about numerous times on this show, inflation is actually unofficially hovering around 15% plus because the way that Clinton changed the way how we measure it in 1996. But you go back to 1983 when interest rates for people that bought a house back then, they remember it was 18% on a thirty year mortgage. It was bonkers. But why? Because inflation was 14.3%.
• 13:46
  The only way you slow down inflation with interest rates is if the interest rate's higher. Well, when Clinton changed everything to artificially understate inflation, I mean, it's a lot. So inflation is not like 3.8% that they say it is. If you go back and use the same exact metrics that they did in 1983, we're hovering at around 15%. So that means interest rates have to go higher than 15 for it to make a difference.
• 14:13
  But here's where GDP, gross domestic product, is a reflection of everything you and I and everybody else in this country buy things at retail stores, at retail prices that's manufactured in America. That's everything that we make here that we buy here at retail prices. So if inflation is 15% and we're buying stuff at those inflated prices, it should reason that that GDP should grow 15% too. Right? But it's not to 2%.
• 14:46
  That was a huge difference. That tells us that the economy is actually shrinking rapidly rather than growing. But it's actually worse than that. So to get that 2% growth, there's a lot of debt. So let's play the story out.
• 15:03
  Let's say you and your wife are sitting at the dinner table and you have this eureka and this great idea. And you say, Hey, I'm going to start a business because I'm an entrepreneur and I'm amazing. And I'm going to spend $250,000 to make $100,000 What's she going to do to you? She's to say, Seth, that is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. You're not thinking with a clear mind, right?
• 15:30
  You must be breathing the air in Colorado would be my guess. But here's where this is exactly what the government's doing because the numbers that just came out, it's $2.50 of new debt to create every $1 of GDP growth. So $2.50 to create $1 of growth. That's the same as the story worth 250,000 to create 100,000. It doesn't make sense.
• 15:55
  But this is why we have the debt that we have. And if they're creating that much debt to create that little growth, that tells us that something is very inefficient, that it's not working. People don't actually have money to spend because of bioeconomics. This is why I'm critical of bioeconomics. People don't have money to spend on it, so therefore they have to create debt to have the appearance that the economy is clicking.
• 16:21
  But it's not. It's absolutely not. And I mean, if you had to create $0.50 of debt to create $1 of growth, that would be a good return. It would be doubling what you spent to get a good return. They're 250% more.
• 16:39
  Dollars 2.5 to create $1 of growth. That's ridiculous. That's awful. And that's but that's what bidenomics has created.
• 16:48
  Seth Holehouse: But how much longer can this continue? Because if you look at stock market seems like it's doing well. Like, the yes. We know that almost everything that whether it's the White House press secretary or their announcements or the mainstream media, almost everything they're telling us is a lie, especially about the economy. And if you look around, it's like, America's not booming.
• 17:13
  This isn't like the nineties, or this isn't, you know, during an under Trump where everything's just going well, and there's this optimistic spear. I mean, it seems like it's the opposite. But, I mean, the question I have is, like, how much longer can they hold this back? Because it just seems like all of the indicators, all of the the the triggers that would be needed to, you know, basically to to, you know, really crush the market to cause, great poverty here in America. They're all there.
• 17:43
  So, I mean, do you think that they're just it's like this dam, and they're just plugging every single hole until they get to the election. That way, they they can't and then it's like if, say, Trump gets in, they they they pull all their fingers out, the whole economy collapses. It's, oh, it's Trump's fault. Or if Biden gets in another four years, which, you know, we all hope not, then either way, it's like, well, say say it all collapses, and, well, you know, it's a second term, so does it matter anyway?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, we can speculate all day long, right, I I kinda don't think I mean, Biden is not strong right now, and and nobody likes Kamala, not even the Democrats. Right? So So maybe you have it get really, really bad till about August. And then it's too late to go through any kind of primaries or caucus system or anything like that. So maybe then they just replace him with somebody else administratively.
• 18:37
  It's like he's unfit to serve health wise, whatever. And so then you bring in somebody else like a Michelle Obama or Hillary or somebody that they really want. But you have to wait until there's hardly enough time to actually do anything about it. But that could happen if there's such an extreme downturn in the economy that people say, finally, somebody's got to fix it, right? So I don't know.
• 19:06
  But I don't think that this can last. I actually don't think it can last till the election. I really don't. We're at the point of critical mass. We're at the point of economic upheaval leading to social disarray and chaos.
• 19:21
  Now you've got the mayhem going on in Texas. And like you talked about, it's possibly preprogramming us for civil war type mentality. There's movies coming out about that. It's like, I don't see how this can last much longer at this rate of decay that we're seeing in American society. So I would say before the election.
• 19:46
  Seth Holehouse: I'm in the same boat.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not God. I don't control the markets. Don't know. But I don't think this can last until the election.
• 19:54
  I think something will happen before that where people will willingly want to give up their freedoms, maybe even willingly give up their right to a vote at this point. Because you just got to have order out of chaos. And it's like, I don't know. I don't know. But I don't see it lasting till then.
• 20:16
  Seth Holehouse: But how is it that so I wanna kinda shift to something as it relates to we're talking about, you know, the stock market, etcetera. And so here's an article. I want you to help explain this because, like, the stock market's booming. Like, it's I can't say it's boom, but it's doing well. Right?
• 20:32
  Yet and and tech stocks specifically are are doing well. But there's also these massive layoffs. Right? So here they're saying that the CNBC article in January, you know, close to 24,000 workers have been laid off. And this is, you know, specifically from this tech industry.
• 20:49
  So how is it that they're having mass layoffs, Yet, they're still their stock is still going up. There's still investor confidence. Help me make sense of this because I think this obviously, you I'm not look, I'm not a stock market guy, but I know that a lot of these core tech stocks are the ones that are actually holding up and propping up the entire market. Right? The entire stock markets riding off on the back of a couple of key stocks.
• 21:17
  Right?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not a stock market guy either, but I do understand fundamentals of what causes it to grow and shrink. Right? So if share prices are sky high, that would tell us that there's a lot of profits there. What are profits? It's revenues minus expenses.
• 21:34
  Right? So is are there revenues going through the roof? No. People aren't spending any money. Any revenues that they have, I would say, right now are stimulus money.
• 21:44
  Right? So but expenses have to be coming down because how can you have sky high stock prices and yet lay off 24,000 plus people in one month just in one industry? Well, as I was thinking about it, it's like, oh, I think I know the answer. And you and I have talked about this numerous times, and now we're seeing the fruit on that tree kind of manifest itself. So I think this is what Kurzweil, former way back in the day Google chief technology officer kind of a guy, basically came up with the singularity concept, which is the blending and merging of man and machine, and machine kind of wins.
• 22:27
  It's like Terminator, the first movie where Skynet and you had the machines that rose up and try to kill their creators, the humans, because they got smarter. I think this is what's happening. I think what's happening in the tech sector is all of these jobs have been replaced by computers, artificial intelligence. And companies might like that because it's like, well, if I hire a computer, I don't have to pay the computer. There's no benefits that I have to pay.
• 22:55
  I'm never going to get sued for harassment or anything like that or discrimination. So why not hire a computer? Hire a computer. Right? You just replace a person with a computer.
• 23:07
  But there's unintended consequences of that. Number one, yeah, companies might like it because they get more profitable as the stock prices are saying, but 24,000 people got laid off. So what's the unintended consequence? You don't pay a computer, so therefore, there's no income tax revenue for the government. A computer doesn't go to Best Buy after work to buy a new LCD TV for the family.
• 23:33
  And so there's no sales tax revenue. Computers don't procreate. They don't have babies. So there's no growing of society. And because of that, they're not buying gas to put in the minivan to take the baby computers to the soccer games.
• 23:50
  There is no groceries, cereal that are being purchased for the family. There's all of this stuff that's not being done. Oh, and computers, because they don't make money, they're not going to go buy houses either. So now the housing market's going to come down because nobody's buying and property tax revenues come down. See, the domino effect is every revenue stream by the government is being diminished and going away.
• 24:15
  But yet what's going to happen with all these 24,000 people that got laid off? They're going to go to the government and say, hey, I need unemployment benefits. I need handouts. I need welfare. I need Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, whatever.
• 24:27
  And the government is going to be scratching their head and thinking, uh-oh, we forgot about this. We're all excited about this new technology that's going to control people and all that. But now that they want benefits, we don't have the income streams to provide for it. So what comes next? They'll just print their way out of it because it's the only thing left.
• 24:49
  Can't raise taxes anymore because people are already tapped out. So the only thing left is to continue to print. I'm convinced, Seth, that this is why the Fed, even though they promised all kinds of rate decreases for this year, they paused. Yet two days ago when they had this meeting, they decided they're going to pause interest rates rather than lower them because I think they know what's coming with all these layoffs of people not working and they're losing government revenues and they're going to have to print money. That creates inflation.
• 25:21
  Somewhere down the road, they're going to have to keep raising interest rates to slow that down. But the fact that they didn't lower them when they've been promising, Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, Biden himself, that we've won the war on inflation. We get to start lowering interest rates next year. And how about a great time to do it during an election year. Right?
• 25:42
  It's not panning out like that. At least it doesn't look like it is. Now they might have one rate decrease so they don't lose face. It's like, well, Ted, we're going do it. Better do it at least once.
• 25:53
  But boy, I think there's so much printing of money that's about to come as the economy comes to a screeching halt or slowing down. And we're not even considering the strain on big cities in America, like here in Denver, the border issue. It's almost to me like the border has moved up to Denver. We've got so many migrants in Denver now, 710,000 people inside city limits of Denver. I mean, metropolitan areas, millions, but 710,000 in Denver.
• 26:28
  How many migrants are here? 40,000 increasing by over 200 a day. It's like, what are they going to do with all of them? So here's where in Denver, the news just came out that they used to have shelters for the homeless people and for the migrants coming in. But now there's so many of them that they can no longer stay for thirty eight days, which was the old number.
• 26:51
  It's now eight. So starting, I think, February 2, it's now eight days, which means there's going to be like 40,000 migrant families that hit the streets, living on the streets. They don't know what to do. So already this issue is costing upwards of 10% to 15% of the entire Denver budget. 10 to 15% to take care of them.
• 27:15
  So now they're asking for more federal money. It's like, we've got all these people, but now it's like, well, then don't if you don't like it, they like it for political reasons, but they don't like it for financial reasons. You can't have it both ways. Right? So here's the horrible pickle.
• 27:32
  Municipalities are going to be strapped for cash, state governments, the federal government, for all the reasons we talked about earlier, reducing income streams through taxation. It's like, man, what comes next? Massive, massive, massive inflation to fund all of this socialist communist garbage that's happening in America. That's what I think comes next, Seth, is is inflation like we haven't even seen yet.
• 27:59
  Seth Holehouse: It's just the natural course, unfortunately. I mean, it is being realistic. And so for people that are concerned, whether it's thinking, okay, hey, stocks are doing great right now. But there's gonna be that day when say, you know, Dow drops 600 points. And the next day, it's 700, eight hundred.
• 28:19
  And it's like, okay. Now, you know, the the bottom falls out, whether it's at inflation, you know, through money printing. And I agree that and to me, 2024, I'm I'm very optimistic about the the course for mankind, especially the good people. I'm optimistic for the good people on Earth, but I also think that there's gonna be a lot of chaos. And so, you know, we're in a place where we're really trying to hunker down for what comes this year, you know, and then following, you know, next couple of years.
• 28:48
  You know, really taking an audit of food supply, water sources, backup energy, any number of things like that. So financially, I know we've talked a lot about precious metals, but where is the where is the safe haven? Right? It's like if you know the storm is coming, what do you do?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to go into something that's real, something that's tangible, like like gold or silver. But I would do silver. Silver hit $22.13 an ounce last week. Well, I'm not a technical trader. I could care less about charts.
• 29:25
  But to them, to chartists and technical traders, that was a really, really good harmonic convergence of price is what they called it, where this is a resistance point and it bounced off of that. And now it's at 23 and some change. Literally, it's up almost 5% in a week. So it hits these technical support levels and bounces up. So what do we have?
• 29:49
  The convergence of fundamental forces, inflationary pressures, political chaos, unsustainable debt, all of that with a technical buying point. Now they're all in harmony with each other. And I don't know how you're going to really stop the growth of silver moving forward too, because everything is now lined up properly to get to that point. See, this is what's exciting for everybody who's getting out of harm's way. They have this huge frown on their face and say, this economy stinks and we're losing our freedoms.
• 30:20
  I don't know what to do and they're awful. But yet, this is an amazing thing that people can take advantage of. Those exact fundamentals that are causing a reduction of your freedoms, you can actually cause that to be an increase in your finances. So this is where we can't change a lot of things, but what we can do is change that because it's a singular action. It's just you deciding I'm going to make a switch out of my IRA, out of my old 4 0 1, out of my bank account, allocate into something that's real, something that's tangible.

  And just watch what starts to happen. I mean, it's amazing.
• 30:55
  Seth Holehouse: And what's the best way to go about that? I know we've got our website here, goldwithSeth.com, which will be in the link or in the description to the show, basic form there. How does that work?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: So that's the easiest. You just go to that form, fill it out, and one of my schedulers will call you. So be on the lookout for a call from Denver seven two zero because they'll schedule you with one of our consultants that'll dig in deep, answer your questions, hear you, and listen to your fears, your dreams, your aspirations, your goals, and help craft out a strategy moving forward to take advantage of these trends rather than those trends taking advantage of you. That's what we'll do. And if you want to just call, you can just simply call our phone number (720) 605-3900 and say that Seth sent you.
• 31:43
  Same result will happen. You'll talk to one of our schedulers. They'll ask you a few questions, get on the calendar with one of our consultants. Same exact scenario. One is just fill out the form online, goldwithseth.com, or call us.
• 31:58
  And then we go from there. And what's exciting to me is that's where our journey together begins, not ends. Because we'll let you know then moving forward, once we've crafted out the strategy for success, when to buy, when to sell, when to reallocate, when to lock in profits. We don't expect you to watch the markets like a hawk. That's what we do.
• 32:18
  And so that's where our journey together begins.
• 32:20
  Seth Holehouse: And this thing too is that this it's something that's why I enjoy having you on. I enjoy working with you is because it's something I believe in. Like, really do. As as much as I believe in telling a friend, hey, you have a couple a couple months worth of storeable food? You should probably get that.
• 32:34
  And I'm not telling people, hey, you dump your entire savings into this. Nick, no. It's like take a portion of it, set it aside, put it into that silver, tuck it away, bury it in the backyard, put it behind a, you know, piece of drywall when you're remodeling, whatever it is, and you just kind of forget about it. And just know that, you know, when that rainy day comes, you're already in the place that you have that. And that's that's my philosophy with a lot of things.
• 32:57
  I think it's really about being like, be difficult to kill. Like, the government, the elites, they want to kill us. So our job is to be really, really difficult to kill. Be Right. Know how to protect yourself, know how to feed your how to feed your family, have, you know, independence from their their banking systems, which they're gonna use to control us, have seeds, know how to grow food.
• 33:17
