WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.879 All right, folks, welcome back and joining us now is Tony Ardeman of 2 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.640 Wisewolf Gold, and Tony has been a big supporter of this program for a 3 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.560 long time. He's set up David Knight, not Gold, so he knows 4 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.079 if you're coming from us, and I want to talk to you. We 5 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.280 got a lot of economic issues that are happening right now. We got budget 6 00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.800 deals, we got massive inflation. But it's all fixed now, isn't it, 7 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.320 Tony. We're not worry about We got the soft landing that's coming in, 8 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.079 but we still haven't landed. We're still and as we look around, 9 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.079 it looks like the door's blown off on side of the plane, doesn't it 10 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.600 for you? For you and I I thought that was a that Alaskan Airlines 11 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.159 flight. That's a pretty good analogy for what's happening to the Western economy in 12 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.560 general. But hey, but now David, we have a bitcoin etf Everything's 13 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.039 fine, that's right. You can get black Rock to buy your bitcoin for 14 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:57.439 you. I am so confused by the interest in this, and it's I 15 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.039 understand that a lot of the crypto traders of people. We'll go into FIAT 16 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.640 and we'll get into the system, it'll become normalized. I'm thinking, well, 17 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.799 that's the last place you want to go. But okay, you know, 18 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.040 well we'll go ahead and let this ride. Yeah, And I've seen 19 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.719 an article one person saying, well, I think that one bank, And 20 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.319 now an analyst at one bank says he thinks a bitcoin is going to hit 21 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:25.920 two hundred thousand dollars after the CTF approval. I don't know. I've seen 22 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.400 a lot of volatility. I don't like volatility on something that I've invested in. 23 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.159 It's like, seems to me like it's kind of like a crap shoot, 24 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.239 which is everything that's in the stock market. And once you roll the 25 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.040 bitcoin stuff into ETFs and make a derivative out of it and then trade it 26 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.359 on the gambling floor, I don't know that's a good thing or not. 27 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.120 My favorite part of the whole thing was the descent of the SEC board and 28 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.480 what they the holdouts that didn't want this to happen, and they're mostly on 29 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.280 the left. Yeah, and they believe that that bitcoin finances terrorism, that 30 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.159 it's used for monality and money laundering, and I think it's nothing. It's 31 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.799 nothing compared to what the US dollar is. Are you paying attention, and 32 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.199 of course they know that, but it just really exposes the establishment's love and 33 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.879 lust for unlimited fiat currency. Yeah, and you know, I was staying 34 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.039 of bitcoin. I mean, that's not what I do primarily, but I 35 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.879 started buying bitcoin when it was three hundred and eighty dollars back in twenty sixteen, 36 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.400 putting in my bitcoin ATM so I know a little bit about it, 37 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.400 and I think right now we're going through a phase where it's there's gonna be 38 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.240 a lot of interest pique now because of the ETFs, but it really isn't 39 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.639 the point of it. I think that's the funny part about the whole thing 40 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.000 is that it's a it's a completely different system, but you're still still interested 41 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.199 in what the fiat banking system thinks about it. I'm not. I'm looking 42 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.840 at parallel economies and what we do moving forward away from this. Yeah. 43 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.000 Yeah, they're saying, yeah, we're going to get institutional money in. 44 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.759 As you point out, you're looking at these institutions that are failing and corrupting. 45 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.319 But and that was the thing that I didn't read what the left said 46 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.039 about it, but that was the big question mark in my mind about it. 47 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.800 It's like we've been We had this campaign from Elizabeth Warren, we got 48 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.159 to destroy all crypto, the competitors to our CBDC right now, and yet 49 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.400 you know they on the SEC they approve this again. You know, it 50 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.199 really kind of surprised me. But you might even look at this and saying, 51 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.439 so are they trying to sabotage it like they did with their derivatives and 52 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.360 the real estate market? You know, real estate is good stuff, but 53 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.759 look what they did with their derivatives. Is that what they're going to do 54 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.599 to bitcoin now? With these derivatives, I'm not real for the dot com 55 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.759 bubble? Yeah, exactly are you sabotaging it from the That's a great question. 56 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.680 It's an open question. Or maybe it's just because there's an inevitability of 57 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.919 cryptocurrency in the face of what's happened globally. I mentioned maybe on your so 58 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.879 last week on my show. I mean, it's fifty two times more currency 59 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.360 today in the world than there was in nineteen eighty mm hmmm. Right, 60 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.879 that's a bubble of all bubbles, something we've never seen before, and it's 61 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.879 going to crash. Yeah. I was talking to you off air about this 62 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.360 Swiss National Bank. There's a systemic banking crisis on the horizon for twenty twenty 63 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.199 four and beyond. I think we've seen that last year with Silicon Valley Bank 64 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.039 and First Republic. But the Swiss National Bank two years in a row. 65 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.360 Now again this is this is Switzerland, where you go for a banking safe 66 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:23.800 haven. The Swiss lost money at the Swiss National Bank level two years in 67 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.839 a row. But they made money on one thing, and that's the gold 68 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.079 they purchased that they have in their holdings. And that is a little bit 69 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.959 ironic. That's what we're seeing around the world is that you know, these 70 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:39.160 central banks are buying gold, but the fiat currency system is imploding and they're 71 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.800 all moving away at different systems, and especially you know, again, unfortunately 72 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.560 right here, the US dollar is on its way out and it's not going 73 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.000 to happen tomorrow. But we're seeing the signs and of course, you know, 74 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.240 inflation, and they're telling us inflation has been licked now because of the 75 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.800 election, not because of any data. And you know, you see the 76 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.000 data from Chick fil a prices increased twenty one percent in two years. But 77 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.680 that's not even the worst of it. Take a look at what you say 78 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.079 at the grocery store and other things, and they can manipulate the price of 79 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.720 stuff like fuel, and they can do that temporarily for the election. But 80 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.600 we know what the trend is for the longest time. We know that Biden 81 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.519 does want to destroy it for the long term, but they're going to profit 82 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.279 from it in the short term, and they're going to use it to profit 83 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.600 in terms of politics in the short term when we I don't know, of 84 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.439 course inflation. I think they're going to do everything they can to pull every 85 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.600 manipulation they can this last year, but it still remains this next year, 86 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.680 the selection year, but it still remains to be seen if they can really 87 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.800 do anything about it or if it's going to blow up in their face. 88 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.199 Well, these financial products that we are so ubiquitous today for a one k's 89 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:56.360 iras, just the amount of advertising that you see to open up a stock 90 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.279 buying account, all these things, in my opinion, were put in place 91 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.199 after nineteen seventy one, so you wouldn't pay attention to the fact that your 92 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.639 dollar buys less and less every single year. The purchasing power is diminishing, 93 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.879 and yeah, the inflation rate they always pegg it it's a seven percent, 94 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.600 it's eight percent. We're getting it. We have now they have the what 95 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.279 Jerome Palwet referred to as the terminal rate, which I think that's more apropos 96 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.959 to what they've done. But you have to think math isn't political. Math 97 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.639 just is it exists outside of the realm of what you believe. You know, 98 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.480 it just it just is going to reinforce reality. And I think that's 99 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.000 what happened with you know, the last three or four years. You have 100 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.120 eighty percent of all the dollars ever created in history, in the United States 101 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.360 history made in the last forty eight months. And that's going to create inflation. 102 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.600 It's an inflation of the money supply, and that makes the cost of 103 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.040 goods go up. And of course you don't even factor in a lot of 104 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.680 these retailers like Chick fil A. It's not just the rising cost of goods. 105 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.480 But you have to recalculate what your profit margins are. That's a whole 106 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.920 other that's an entirely different calculation because when the prices increase, guess what else 107 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:11.959 increases? Fees get credit card fees. Most consumers don't know the entity that 108 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.800 makes the most at your gas pump. It's not the gasoline retailer, it's 109 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.079 the credit card company. The credit card company makes more per gallon than the 110 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.680 person who owns the store. Yeah, oh yeah, I promise you that 111 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.759 it's at three dollars a gallon. That's three cents on every that's nine cents 112 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.920 a gallon that goes to Chase Manhattan, or it goes to Blackrock. Okay, 113 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.160 that doesn't go to the person who owns the convenience store. So you 114 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.279 add those fees in, So there's all sorts of hidden fees anytime the prices 115 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.040 increase. And I will tell you something, folks, if the big banks 116 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.600 thought inflation was a problem for them, then they would be talking about fighting 117 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:54.720 inflation and wanting to do something about monetary policy and budget policy. But they 118 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:59.040 don't. They like higher prices. They make more. Yeah. Oh yeah, 119 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.279 we had our You had the experience of having been involved to a gas 120 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.519 station. You know what those margins are in our retail operation. The credit 121 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.360 card fees are just crushing, you know, and there really wasn't anything that 122 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.439 we could do about it, you know, as everybody would move to a 123 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.800 plastic you know, that's another reason to use cash is to cut out these 124 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.399 big credit card companies and big banks that are working on ways and how they 125 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.800 can dbank us and take our money and steal our money from us. You're 126 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.879 feeding those evil institutions that are out there, and it'd be better for you 127 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.559 to feed the local businesses that you're dealing with and then also keep your anonymity. 128 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.399 But it's just the convenience of the credit card for the consumer, and 129 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.399 that's the way this thing has been going. You know, there's Mike Michael 130 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.879 Mahari who is with a tenth Amendment Center. I've interviewed him many times, 131 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.759 but of course he also talks about gold. He said, there's three things 132 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:58.120 that have been driving a bull market in gold into the new year. He 133 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.159 said, there's the demand factor of the fed fact after the January factor, 134 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.240 he said, as far as demand goes, he said, gold has been 135 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.240 up thirteen percent this last year, and that's what you're talking about in terms 136 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.200 of the one thing they're making money in Switzerland with. But he said, 137 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.039 there's also the January factor, and the fact is that gold makes these big 138 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.440 price increases in January. For the most part, it goes up. Have 139 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.720 you noticed that I do, and you know, Michael's right about that. 140 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.080 I read that article on the Wise Wolf Golden Crypto Show on Monday, and 141 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.759 I think he's spot on. I follow his work. He's now over at 142 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.120 Money Metals, smart guy, and you know, I think he's right about 143 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.279 historically in about January he did there was a couple of asterisks there that I 144 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.320 think it is twenty twelve or a couple of different years that that didn't happen. 145 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.639 But we're seeing a bump and I think, you know, right now, 146 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.279 gold's trading a little under two and thirty dollars per troy ounce, but 147 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.080 we're in a lull right now. There's been a lot of profit taking. 148 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.360 But it does it. I don't think it takes a psychic or any with 149 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.320 any sort of skills to look into the future and say that Gold's going to 150 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.799 break its all time high again in twenty twenty four. I think that. 151 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.200 I think the horses out of the bar. And you look at what happened 152 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.399 in the last quarter of twenty twenty three, and I think that's nothing compared 153 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.120 to where we're going. There's been a lot of delayed reaction to David. 154 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.919 This is something I study every single day, and it's in my business, 155 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.559 it's my life. And I remember back in twenty twenty when gold hit its 156 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.799 all time high. Before that, there was a lot of reports coming out 157 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.279 in major financial institutions. They don't talk about this anymore, but they were 158 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.000 just throwing out easily gold at three thousand. This was like City Bank and 159 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.720 other major corporations and making institutions. That was kind of put to bed because 160 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.879 there was I think again, gold is an enemy of the Federal Reserve. 161 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.720 Gold is an enemy to the Fiat banking system. The more that the price, 162 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.320 when you see the price of it go up, then there's something wrong 163 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.399 with the currency. And so I think they constantly try to keep that in 164 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.480 balance. And those wheels are coming off. Is because the bricks nations and 165 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.360 these other nations, like we just talked about the Swiss, they want to 166 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.440 see their gold holdings go up. And if the pricing model is tagged to 167 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.320 what the West has now, which has been for decades, it seems odd 168 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.639 like what is happening? Why don't these prices move, especially with the loss 169 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.159 of purchasing power. I think we're seeing the beginnings of what the reset is 170 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.279 actually going to look like, and the price of gold will go up. 171 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.320 I'm not giving you investment advice. We make that clear. It's not an 172 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.320 investment. The price isn't really going up. It's just your dollars losing purchasing 173 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.879 power, that's right. Yeah, And you know we're talking about Michael Maherry 174 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.039 and his big interests are gold in the tenth Amendment, you know, trying 175 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.519 to get power away from Washington, and we talk about that inherent competition between 176 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.799 the Federal Reserve and gold in general. It's very interesting to see what's happening 177 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.159 in Texas. You've got a primary coming up in March, and so they 178 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:03.240 put a lot of ballot initiatives in the primary, and that can come in 179 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.039 from the grass kind of the grassroots Republicans, but they still involved in the 180 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.320 political party, but it's fairly large, and so they've pushed in some things 181 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.879 like you know, the Texas Secession, that's one of them that they keep 182 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.080 putting in there. But they've had in the past things like, you know, 183 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.000 a ballot amendment for the primary to show the Republican support for protecting kids 184 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.559 from transmutilation stuff, for example, and those have frequently found their way into 185 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.960 legislation by the Republicans because it's a Republican state, heavily Republican, and if 186 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.799 they see that there's a lot of support on these particular issues at the primary 187 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.879 level, there's a chance that they'll put it in and enact that policy. 188 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:56.240 And so they've been able to get a ballot proposition onto the Texas Republican primary 189 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.919 that'll be in March that would have the Texas government used the Comptroller's office to 190 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.799 start a program to quote administer access to gold and silver through the Texas Billion 191 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.799 Depository for use as legal tender. And we're seeing this happening, as you 192 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.200 know, and as I've talked about in the past, we're seeing this happen 193 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.759 in a lot of different states. Here in Tennessee, we've got Senator Nicely 194 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:26.039 and some others who have been working on trying to get a first they call 195 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.399 it a state bank in the state, and the local banks thought that might 196 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.720 be competition to him, so he wisely renamed it a Tennessee Reserve System to 197 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.799 get them to understand that this is something to get away from the central control 198 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.759 of the federal Reserve and then also to set up a depository like Texas has. 199 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.679 They are the only ones who have that right now. But the real 200 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.759 issue is going to be if you can deposit and keep gold there and then 201 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.120 write checks on it. That'll be an interesting move and it'll have consequences. 202 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.919 I think if the first state that does it is going to be a breakthrough, 203 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.720 and I think a lot of other states are poised on this talking about 204 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.240 it. I think they'll probably follow through on that as well. What do 205 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.559 you think about that? How is that going to affect this competition between the 206 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.679 federal Reserve and the states who are trying to pull power away from it. 207 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.799 Well, if you recall, I think it was about mid twenty twenty three, 208 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.960 the Texas legislature is also considering a digital gold currency that will be run 209 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.320 by the state of Texas. I'm all for states exploring this and having boullion 210 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.840 banks. I think you need to be cautious when you talk about the state 211 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.240 running anything that would resemble a currency. I don't know that I like that. 212 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.480 I don't think that's needed. But if there's a way for the state 213 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:45.000 to at least enforce that gold and silver or legal tender, I think that's 214 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.639 great. This is part of the decentralization process, and I think if you 215 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.679 put it to a vote. Just looking at Costco, David, looking at 216 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.159 Walmart, we know that they're selling goal bars and they're running out. The 217 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.960 public is hungry for something different than needs. They want some stability, and 218 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.159 gold and silver are always been a safe have and I think people are starting 219 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.360 to pay attention again, especially when you're talking about, hey, you're it 220 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.720 hits you where it hurts. It hits you where your chicken sandwich. You 221 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.840 know, your chicken sandwich went up to twenty five percent. People start paying 222 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.000 attention eventually. And my dollar is starting to look like a waffle fry. 223 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.039 You know, it's the holes in it, and it's a shrink inflation. 224 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.120 You're like, well, there's not enough chips in my bag of chips anymore. 225 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.240 All that stuff that hits people and that they're starting to pay attention. 226 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.200 So I think this will be part of our's, part of our future. 227 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.720 It needs to happen on a state by state basis. Branting you know, 228 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.720 legal tender status to gold and silver, even throwing in things like bitcoin. 229 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.960 There's some states that allow you to even use some of your crypto to pay 230 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.600 for property taxes. I think Ohio does that. There's a couple of states 231 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.440 to do that. I think this is important, especially move into the future. 232 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.000 What you have to be cautious about and what you mentioned is creating another 233 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.679 fractional reserve banking system out of the state. This and this, this get 234 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:07.440 a greed always creeps in. I don't trust politicians. I was on a 235 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.919 ballot in Texas about was it ten years ago or so, so I was 236 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:18.360 in that same primary ballot was one where they you could vote to initiate the 237 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.360 Texas secession. They actually had something on there. It was like a preliminary 238 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.759 test model. And I think there's any kind of ballot there again this year. 239 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.240 Thanksasis well those that's growing to see. You know, ten years ago 240 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.559 when I ran for Congress in Texas, even in like deep East Texas, 241 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.080 when I when I would say we need to end the FED, people didn't 242 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.039 know what I was talking about. But now they do. See this is 243 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.679 like I was. This was you know, Ron Paul's book in the FED. 244 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.240 I was on that. That was part of my plank, Like right 245 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.039 up on the top of my campaign website is auditing and ending the Federal Reserve. 246 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.240 I wanted audit. I want to figure out where the money went and 247 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.600 I want to, you know, create a new sound money system. And 248 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.559 I think that was a little bit over people's heads at the time, not 249 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.359 everybody, but right now that would be a huge thing, like if you 250 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.839 were and you don't see many people doing that, but I think that will 251 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.160 be part of the future too. And I think that's the key thing. 252 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.759 I think what you're saying, people's awareness of the federal system, you know, 253 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.200 the federal reserve system, and that's really what's behind the thing they call 254 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.119 it a Tennessee Resources. It's not like they're going to set up some kind 255 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.319 of a Fiat currency fractional reserve system thing here. But they're saying, you 256 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.519 know, for those small banks away. It's worked in North Dakota. They 257 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.720 have far more small banks and local banks there than they do anywhere else, 258 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:41.559 and so it's a move to try to decentralize and keep competitive the financial situation. 259 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.039 So you know, it's cutting some loans and things like that and kind 260 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.759 of backing up the loans with them on some of the things that that type 261 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.480 of thing. But I think, you know, regardless of the details, 262 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.480 and of course, the devils are in the devil is in the details on 263 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.319 these bills, you know, the Texas thing. But what it shows is 264 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:06.240 that there's a tremendous amount of awareness of the untrustworthiness of the Fiat currency and 265 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.720 that there's a lot of demand at the grassroots level to try to move to 266 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.640 something that is legitimate, like gold, that's constitutional money, you know. 267 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.960 And so there's an effort to try to get away from the central, centrally 268 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.240 controlled, corrupt, manipulating financial system, trying to get back to honest money. 269 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.279 And that's at a grassroots level. I think that's a big takeaway. 270 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.960 I don't know what the details are in the proposal, and again you would 271 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.920 have to see what they actually proposed if they do something in the legislature, 272 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.319 and the details will be very important. But what we can see right now 273 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:45.400 is thisot grassroots demand to get away from this corrupt, centrally controlled system. 274 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.240 And I think that's really what's driving all these efforts where you're talking about Florida 275 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.160 or Oklahoma, or Texas or Tennessee, it's to get away from this federal 276 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.160 reserve control. Well, it gives me a little bit of joy. You 277 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:03.000 have to realize that somewhere a bankster has a lot of anxiety over this simulation. 278 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.279 They're wait, wait, that wasn't supposed to happen. It's they're supposed 279 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.359 to beg for the to be biometrically scanned and give up all their data and 280 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.720 their freedom for this central bank digital currency, this CBDC. They're still going 281 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.119 to implement it. There's still I mean, this is still we're on the 282 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.559 path for central bank digital currency. But will it when it lands, will 283 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.559 it be inert That's the question. If enough of us and the grassroots and 284 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.000 the states continue to make give you, you know, outs, give you 285 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.079 a way out of it, or a parallel system, then it's toothless. 286 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.839 Yeah, And I think that's that that should be the goal. It's not 287 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.279 that we can completely stop the central bank digital cred currency, because they're going 288 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.680 to implement it. I mean, you're talking about BIS, the Bank of 289 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.880 International Settlements im F. This is coming from the top down. They're going 290 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.480 to do something with it. But if we continue to see this trend, 291 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:56.039 which I'm very excited about, I think, you know again, and it 292 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.480 may even hurt my business. I don't I don't know, some of it 293 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.599 may hurt my don't care. I think freedom and liberty are the most important 294 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.319 things I want to you know, this is this is our legacy, is 295 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.440 what we fight for. So I like the fact that, you know, 296 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.279 make gold legal legal tender, makes silver legal tender, you know, and 297 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.160 I think people would rather trade in that once you could become familiar with it, 298 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.839 David. Once you know, once people start using gold and silver on 299 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:25.640 a daily basis or to trade amongst themselves, then you'll you won't use dollars. 300 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.640 Now you've made big steps along those ways. We had a lot of 301 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.759 states that I have taken off, you know, capital gains tax on the 302 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.880 sale of gold and silver and things like that, so that you know, 303 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.680 they're not treating it as a commodity. And so that helps to facilitate people 304 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.359 being able to use it to you know, in private exchanges to buy and 305 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.319 sell stuff. And so we're seeing these these steps being taken, and I 306 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:53.119 think that awareness of you know, all these different things, regardless of you 307 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.519 know, how they might ultimately work out, it really shows us that people 308 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:03.960 are aware of the dangers of this centralization. And you were talking about how 309 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.920 sensitive they are to criticism of the Federal Reserve. Is just this week that 310 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.079 I realized that when this wonderful life came out. The FBI was putting out, 311 00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.880 and it's been publicized by a lot of people how much they hated that 312 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.359 movie. They called it a communist movie. They started investigating people that were 313 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:25.799 involved in it. We that explains a lot of the censorship that I've seen 314 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.960 with that one report, because you know, just to criticize bankers, not 315 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.079 even the Federal Reserve, but just to criticize bankers in general. Oh well, 316 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.480 then you were a communist if you don't like mister Potter in that thing. 317 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.960 This guy is a villain, and you know, the FBI is not 318 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.160 interested in what he did with the money that he stole from. That's grand 319 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.559 lars, and especially in those days, eight thousand dollars. I think it 320 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.039 was more than he quoted for the price of the house. He said, 321 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.279 you know, George, you can have like a five thousand dollars house or 322 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.759 so, you know, there's a substantial amount of money, even today, 323 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.119 but especially back then. But they're not worried about that crime. The crime 324 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.319 that they saw in all of it was criticizing bankers. That's what we hear 325 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.599 those alphabet agencies. You know, the alphabet agencies have a long history of 326 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.880 connections to international banking. Even go back to the founding of the Central Intelligence 327 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.240 Agency. You'll see a lot of connections these. You know, there's a 328 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.000 reason why in twenty nineteen, the last quarter twenty nineteen, you saw the 329 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.759 largest exodus of CEOs and history. You're telling me that the multinational corporations and 330 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.759 finance don't have connections to intelligence. Yeah, give me a break. There 331 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.559 was an article by the Mesas Institute kind of in that same line of logic 332 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:44.039 about the Secret Service and their history as an enforcer of the Fiat currency system. 333 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.119 They actually had some stronger language to it. But there's an article that's 334 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.599 up on zero Hedge. I think they called them a gestapo and I I 335 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.799 was reading over the article before we went live, and I say, I 336 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.880 knew that I'd read that before. There's a lot of criminality in the banking 337 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.960 system. I mean, there was a meme being shit and I hate to 338 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.880 debunk it, but there was a mean I liked a lot and it showed 339 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.799 a kilogram bar of gold. Okay, so thirty two point one three ounces 340 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:12.279 of gold, and it said ten of these in nineteen twenty would buy you 341 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.880 a house, buy you the average house. And then it says, ten 342 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.440 of these in twenty twenty four will buy you the average house. Well, 343 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.839 it's supposed to be a ten ounce bar. Sorry, I had recalculated it. 344 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.240 But they're exactly right, you know. So the crime again they were 345 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.720 right about the premise was right, but it's too much gold. It's basically 346 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.640 you need ten you know, of the bars will be two hundred thousand instead 347 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.319 of the they had like six hundred thousand. That's not the medium price of 348 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.839 a home. Yea, but the premise is right, and so the crime 349 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.839 is in that meme. Think of the crime of that, Like you how 350 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.680 much wealth was stolen when they decouple the dollar from gold, when they take 351 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.519 the silver out of our coinage? How much crime is in that? I 352 00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:00.839 mean, it's massive. You've you've created a completely new class of people that 353 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.079 are going to be dependent on government. That's what they've done. They've they've 354 00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.480 made the American dream so far out of reach. I was reading, was 355 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:15.000 it ten percent of investors in America own ninety seven percent of the stock? 356 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.880 Wow? Wow, that wealth disparity. That's because of our fiat system. 357 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.599 And you look at you know, the Federal Reserve, and then of course 358 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.480 also Wall Street which concerns me so much. This natural asset company thing, 359 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.960 right when when you look at if they can just go in and you know, 360 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:38.599 ban gold or confiscate gold and set up central bank Fiat currency and you 361 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.720 know, wave their hands and make this happen, and okay, this kind 362 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:47.720 of derivative thing over here, you know that they're perfectly capable of doing something 363 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:52.640 like this natural asset company where they you look at the president's especially Trump, 364 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.440 his metric of success was always what's going on with the stock market? You 365 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:02.839 know he wasn't when you look at what Biden is doing with jobs created, 366 00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.720 it turns out that about two thirds of his jobs that were created they now 367 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.039 admit were not there at all. But we always see that being done. 368 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.039 They always come out and manipulate the unemployment figures a cup a quarter or two 369 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.039 down the road so that they can create a new trend, right the cut. 370 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.759 First they put stuff out and say, look at all the different jobs 371 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.599 that we created, even though they didn't create them. And then next quarter 372 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:33.160 or two quarters down they revise those previous numbers so they can make this quarter's 373 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.839 numbers look better. That is a trick that they have always done, just 374 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.640 like this whole thing going on with this deal that's gotten some of the Conservatives 375 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:47.960 upset with Johnson about them saying that they had massive cuts to the IRS. 376 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.640 Republicans achieved massive IRS funding cuts in the spending agreement, says Daily Caller, 377 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.599 Well, they didn't cut anything at all. They cut the proposed increase, 378 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.319 but they made it five and a half times bigger. So these types of 379 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.200 lines, that's why I think, you know, the inflation stuff. Even 380 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.000 though they say that they are going to pull out all the stops for the 381 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.960 election and appear to be trying to do that, I don't think they're going 382 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.920 to make any dent on this at all. Really no. And it reminds 383 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.039 me a lot of remember John Kerry, what was it the two thousand and 384 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.359 four election, and it was eighty seven billion that was in a defense budget 385 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.160 and he's, you know, you vote. He was for it before he 386 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:26.960 was against it, the kind of thing. And that's the way Trump ran 387 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.720 against the stock market. I remember this. Yeah, he said, it's 388 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.000 a bubble, it's based on nothing. We got to do. We got 389 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.079 to goudit the Fed. There's so much debt. And then he was elected 390 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.759 and that was all about his presidency was all about how wonderful the stock market 391 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.599 was. And I remember you, if you've paid attention to history at all, 392 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.720 you're going to look at the stock market and these numbers. And I 393 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.799 opened up Wisewolf in twenty eighteen. I was down in San Antonio. I 394 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.880 had Fox Business on every day, and of course I'm I'm completely inoculated against 395 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.759 it doesn't affect me, so I'm just watching it just kind of his intel, 396 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.720 and I'm thinking, this isn't gonna last. This is fake. But 397 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.079 I would see the prices of metals were down. I mean, goal was, 398 00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.720 you know, twelve hundred dollars an ounce eleven hundred an ounce at sometimes, 399 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.920 and you know that that is so dirt cheap. And I would look 400 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.319 at just what the price of the dollar index and everything else at silver. 401 00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.880 I was buying American eagles at sixteen dollars. I mean that just seems like 402 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.799 a quaint time. But where'd all that so called wealth go? You know 403 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.519 it, it's all fake. And yet they're going to have They've got, 404 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.759 you know, three lowering of rates in twenty twenty four. They got more 405 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.599 planned for twenty twenty five. Are they even going to I don't know that 406 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.839 that can they plan monetary policy anymore that far out, David, I don't 407 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:48.000 think they can. I don't know that even the so called experts really understand 408 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.200 the implications of doing what has been done to the dollar, not only through 409 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.039 the expansion the money supply, but through our arrogance and the sanctions, what 410 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.200 we've done to weaponize the doll That blowback that is happening, and it's happening. 411 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.400 It doesn't just you know, overnight all these nations rise up and start 412 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.960 dumping the dollar. It's just you know, gradually and then suddenly, And 413 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.799 that's I think that's what work. Yeah, yeah, it's true. And 414 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:19.359 the ability to create these these fake illusions of wealth here and then remove them. 415 00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.119 That's why when I look at these things like this bitcoin etf like the 416 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.559 natural asset companies and all the rest of the stuff, is like, I 417 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.680 just don't want to participate in this fraudulent fantasy football league. You know that 418 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.960 they've got going, And that's what it looks like increasingly to me, it's 419 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.480 like there's nothing real about it, but they can make it really miserable for 420 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.279 you. They can manipulate even something like real estate, you know, once 421 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.079 they get people leveraged into that they can really do a ropodope and a pump 422 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.440 and a dump, and they got so many different tricks up their sleeve. 423 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.960 And it really is concerning when I see something like this, you know, 424 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.480 just a last week, looking at the great taking and looking at the natural 425 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.440 asset companies. Why I tell you, they've got some jumongous schemes on the 426 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:10.480 horizon, which makes me want to run to something that is private and something 427 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.279 that I hold that retains its value all the more. That's why I think 428 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:21.279 gold I really don't have a problem telling people about what valuable and secure investment 429 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.000 gold and silver are. And it's just key, I think, to try 430 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.079 to get out of these schemes. Well. As a young soldier, the 431 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.680 army teaches you the motto is adapt and overcome. That's what I think that 432 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.200 is our charge in these coming years, in this decade of the Great Reset 433 00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:45.400 of Agenda twenty thirty is adapt and overcome. The old system that we're watching 434 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.839 implode is not going to be there for you. I'm sorry, it's not 435 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.640 the history. If it's history is your guide. If every fiat currency goes 436 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:59.759 to zero and the United States dollar is the world's oldest living fiat currency. 437 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.559 Okay, since nineteen seventy one, decoupled from gold. The average lifespans twenty 438 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.759 six years for a fiat currency. We're fifty years plus on. Yeah, 439 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.720 this isn't going to end well. And I would say, can you have 440 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:14.759 the other countries transitioning away from the dollar system. This is going to affect 441 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.720 us on individual level how our economy operates. But you'll see. But the 442 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.119 silver lining to all of it, it's like just what we've been talking about 443 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:27.799 states decentralizing. You see the bitcoin even though they're they're looking at the ETFs 444 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.720 and I find it silly, but it's opening up new interest. Yeah much. 445 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.039 I've got a comment here from Amos Pool on a tip. Thank you 446 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.319 very much, Amos. I appreciate that. On why Fanny said, I've 447 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.960 heard with the bitcoin having halving, getting it in half right in April, 448 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:51.359 and the likelihood of the sec approval of ETF which has happened, there'll be 449 00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.240 a large rally in bitcoin and other cryptos. So yeah, that probably will. 450 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.160 I think it will go up quite a bit. It's just I look 451 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.400 at it and I look at the volatility, and I've I've and I'm old 452 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.920 enough to have been in the stock market, had massive paper gains that then 453 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:14.599 disappeared and then some you know, the volatility scares me. The virtual aspect 454 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.720 of it is something that scares me. And when I look. But the 455 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.599 thing, more than the investments, I think i'll get your comments on it, 456 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.200 Tony, But more than the investments, it's just these these manipulations with 457 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.240 CBDC and the NAC and things like that. I just I want to get 458 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.200 out of that system. I want to get out of a digital system. 459 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:34.359 I want to get out of a Wall Street system. I just don't want 460 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.720 to participate in. That's just my personal thing. Well, I'm skeptical on 461 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.640 so many fronts with this because, first of all, that's how you manipulate 462 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.559 the price of silver and gold or through ets, through paper, that's right, 463 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.880 So you're not actually holding bitcoin, And who knows if they're going to 464 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.759 have that. We've talked about that. Did they really have that silver and 465 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.559 gold in the Shanghai exchange or are they using the Shanghai exchange to shanghai the 466 00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.839 price of gold and silver? Yeah, show me, you know, And 467 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:04.920 I've often I just wonder, like counterparty risk would you rather hold it? 468 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.319 I mean, because right now I can buy bitcoin. You can buy it 469 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.319 pretty much anywhere. Now it's ubiquitous. Same thing with gold or silver. 470 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.960 I don't have counterparty risk if I have that that gold coin or bar or 471 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.200 silver bar, or if I have bitcoin and it's my own wallet, not 472 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.799 attached to an exchange. It's just again, this is just the beginning. 473 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:29.200 Though. You know that the crypto space was built, you know, the 474 00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:34.119 cipher punks, the cryptographers back, you know, the whoever Satoshi Nakamoto was 475 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.720 after the two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine debacle. This is 476 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.720 what bitcoin was born out of that. And you have to be for ten 477 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.039 years they've been trying to get this ETF pushed through. They finally got it. 478 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:45.480 So I have, you know, mixed emotions on it. Fine, 479 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:50.000 but I just I'm looking at the new systems that are being created. It's 480 00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.319 actually exciting because there's a there's so much more awareness now of what money is 481 00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.599 or what currency actually is. The two things sometimes go together that they're not 482 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.920 They're not exactly the same all the time, and so I think, I 483 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.319 think when you see people becoming more aware, it's good. It's not going 484 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.640 to be perfect. But I think it's good that people are becoming more aware. 485 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.960 I think that bitcoin and crypto will rally. You need to be skeptical, 486 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.759 though I'm not telling you that this is not I'm not in that space 487 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.039 to make anything. And you know, I think that there's there's hope on 488 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.680 it. I think there's there's it's a it's a good space to be in. 489 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.200 It's exciting, but be very careful because there's going to be a lot 490 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.240 of things and I think they're counting on that too, by the way. 491 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.519 I think they're counting on, you know, something like an FTX moment where 492 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:39.359 they say, well, well we like the digital stuff, but what we 493 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:44.000 really need is regulation, and the best way to regulate that is through the 494 00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.039 Central Bank, and here's your CBDs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It 495 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.559 is surprising to see them in a sense, you know, the community in 496 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.759 general thought that they're going to approve of the ETF thing. But it is 497 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:59.000 surprising as much as you know, the Democrats have hated, as you point 498 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.920 out, to see that go through. I kind of thought, well, 499 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.480 maybe they'll stop it because they've been at war with crypto all this last year. 500 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.719 But again, tell us a little bit about what's going on at Wisewolf 501 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:15.920 got Gold, Well, lot's going on. We've been securing product going into 502 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.360 this first quarter. It's weird out there. The prices are strange. The 503 00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.639 premiums dropped a lot on silver, so we're able to offer some lower prices 504 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.559 right now on a lot of different items, especially some of our ninety percent 505 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:31.199 silver and other things that are pre nineteen sixty five US coinage. But we've 506 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.440 got a lot of exciting things that the wolf pack is growing, so I'm 507 00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.760 happy to see that. You know, anytime you join, you can go 508 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.960 through David Knight dot Gold and put in promo code seventeen seventy six gets you 509 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.320 some free constitutional silver, which is going to be great in the coming months 510 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:51.000 and years when you know you've got a silver dime. They made fun of 511 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:53.760 Ron Paul because he said he could get gasoline back down to a dime mcgallon 512 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.039 and he said, actually, silver dime's worth three dollars. So it's something 513 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.360 like that I think you're going to see in our new economy that's emerging after 514 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:05.760 what the damage has been done to the dollar. So we've got the two 515 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:10.639 locations Branson, Missouri and Dennison, Texas. Both of them there just bricks 516 00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:14.599 and mortar to serve the general public. If you're in those areas, we 517 00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:15.920 can take care of you there. Well, you can go to David Night 518 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.559 dot Gold. We serve nationwide. A lot of people right now, David 519 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.280 are rolling over their four one ks and iras getting into physical precious metals. 520 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:28.199 That's something we can do. It's pretty seamless. We've done a lot of 521 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.039 them now. We made it a really quick process. We've got a great 522 00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.800 partner that does all the legal called New Direction Trust. They made stuff really 523 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.280 easy. We can get in there and roll over your paper. You got 524 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:43.320 to be careful all this, even your bitcoin. You go on the ETFs 525 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:46.880 and you buy ETFs, it's paper. You don't want that. It's derivative. 526 00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:52.239 Yeah, it's derivative. And so a lot of good things are going 527 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.039 on. I've opened up a lot of supply chains and we'll just see what 528 00:35:54.119 --> 00:36:00.239 happens again. This is it's a privilege to be able to be here at 529 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.280 this point in history, to sponsor your show, to do what I do. 530 00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.559 We've got great things going on. Also, you know the Freeworld dot 531 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:12.800 FM, our new online station, is doing well. We look forward. 532 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.719 Soon you'll be over there. We'll have you broadcasting on Free World. It's 533 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:19.800 just another we built a lifeboat for free speech. That's something we've done with 534 00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.280 some of the money that we've made off of Wise Wolf and wolf Pack. 535 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:28.400 I'm just reinvesting into free speech and liberty. And that's key because I think 536 00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.719 that's another part of it too. You know, we look at the CBDCs 537 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:31.880 and we look at the nacs and stuff. Of course they're going to be 538 00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:37.320 weaponizing their censorship and AI is going to give them all kinds of power that 539 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.079 they haven't had before. So these other outlets are going to really be key. 540 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:44.880 So I really do appreciate you doing that. And Tony, and thank 541 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:46.760 you so much for your support of the program. It's always great to have 542 00:36:46.800 --> 00:37:00.119 you on and get your insights.
