1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680 The Bank of inter National Settlement send. By twenty twenty five, every single 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,839 country meets to have a set an operation ES Central Bank chitual currency. And 3 00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:11,880 when I see the lights that they are going to meet their agenda and all 4 00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:15,960 of these things, I get a nervous that you know, they will put 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,960 the squeeze on things like bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. I don't think they want 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,480 to compete. I wonder if their eyes set on precious metals. I hope 7 00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:29,480 not.

Hey, we're getting down to the l 13 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,599 last week of August. Gold prices going up, silver prices going up. 14 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,000 I mean today alone, silver was up eighty nine cents nearly four percent, 15 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,239 gold up one percent, and we saw the little weakness in the metals prices, 16 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,120 but they're rebounding and no wonder when you look at the state of the 17 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:26,519 world, the impending implosion of the Chinese economy and potentially the collapse of the 18 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,439 CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. You look at the war in Ukraine, 19 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:38,439 quagmire seems like that's what the West specializes in, is quagmires, as they 20 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,640 used to call Vietnam, and every war since Vietnam has bennet quag meyer. 21 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,920 What's that going to do to the world economy? What's that going to do 22 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:49,599 to precious metal prices? Well, got a treat for you, Miles. 23 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:56,680 Franklin's CEO, Andrew Shekman is with us. Andy. Welcome back, Harry, 24 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400 my favorite. Good to see your brother. Thanks for having me. 25 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,599 Hey, So I didn't have a chance to sit down with you at the 26 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,959 Rick Rules Symposium, which I felt badly about. But I couldn't go every 27 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,199 day. But I just can't do their shows every day anymore, especially when 28 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,120 it's in my backyard and I can pick and choose. But maybe it's better 29 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:22,639 because things have progressed further. Firsts, what's your take on what's happening now? 30 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,400 Well, you know, my take is twofold. You know, for 31 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,639 a long time. My take is focused almost entirely for almost for three and 32 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,960 a half four years, over twelve hundred YouTube videos on this formation of the 33 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,199 bricks, the alliance that is being built in the Bell Road Initiative, the 34 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,439 Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Bricks New Development Bank, 35 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,479 of course, the bricks themselves, and there's growing alliance that centered around the 36 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,199 mismanagement of the world reserve currency, the weaponization of the dollar, and the 37 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:04,199 antagonization Saudi Arabia pushing them away, signing an executive order saying that by twenty 38 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,520 fifty will be eighty five percent green, by twenty thirty will be fifty hella 39 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,240 Saudi Arabian essence. Yeah, we're going in a different direction, and people 40 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,439 forget that. It is the protection of the Saudi teamdom and by extension, 41 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,199 their willingness through OPEC to denominate oil globally and dollars that has given us the 42 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,960 geminy that and the faith and credit of the US government. Let's examine that 43 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,479 for a moment before I do, I'd like people who understand that there are 44 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,120 two main economic advisors to the US government at this point, to the Biden 45 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,439 administration Number one is a man named Jared Bernstein, and Jared Bernstein's whole thesis 46 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,639 is to relinquish the world reserve currency. He's written with reports that have been 47 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:52,000 picked up in New York Times and The Washington Post, the most infamous being 48 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,439 Dethroned King Dollar, where he advocates immediately for the US government to abandon the 49 00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:00,680 world reserve status because of the distortion and trade and balances it creates. In 50 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,360 fact, he says the exorbitant privilege of being the as a point, well 51 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,400 it's out. Here's the point. If you wanted to get rid of the 52 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,039 world reserve currency, the first thing you would do would be to weaponize the 53 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:17,040 dollar to kick Russia out of Swift, to confiscate their forex reserves. And 54 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,560 the second thing you would do is to push Saudi Arabia away. Telman, 55 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,439 We're going great. We don't need you anymore. And that has enabled Saudi 56 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Arabia to join the Bell Road, along with every other old country to join 57 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,120 the Bricks. And we believe they will be formally announced today or tomorrow, 58 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,879 being that the Bricks meeting just started yesterday Tuesday, the twenty second today being 59 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:43,560 the twenty third They've also joined the new Development Bank the Shanghai co Operation Organization. 60 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,079 The shanghaik co Operation Organization is the largest regional military and financial group in 61 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:51,759 the World's Chinese Army. In essence, but you have a situation where we 62 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:59,600 have fostered this dedollarization we have. We couldn't have drawn up Jared Burnsteth's plan 63 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360 and it better. But let's talk about the full faith and credit. The 64 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:08,240 US budget or balance sheet rather came out for twenty twenty two the other day. 65 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,160 You can google this and just ask Google what is the twenty twenty two 66 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,480 US balance sheet? What does it look like? And you'll find that they 67 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,959 admit to one hundred and fifty five trillion in debt and the largest being, 68 00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:27,160 the largest indebtedness being unfunded liabilities Medicare, medicaid, a government military pensions, 69 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,519 and social security north of one hundred and thirty trillion. The key point here's 70 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,000 all of this is old to the American public. Even when you look at 71 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,759 the bonds, the bond situation right now, you have the majority of the 72 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,000 central banks of the world shedding treasuries. Yet the American public, in search 73 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,240 of yield, flooded into US treasuries, so you am the majority of all 74 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,959 of the debt owed really old to the American people, which fits very much 75 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,800 into what I'm going to get at here for a moment. The number two 76 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,920 economic advisor to the Biden administration is a lady named Leo Brainer, who is 77 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,040 a modern moneteer. She worked at the FED, she worked at the Treasury. 78 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,079 She ran coin for FED Now, which just came out of the payment 79 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,680 system like Zel, only administered by the Federal Reserve. And she's also a 80 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,040 modern monetary theorist who worked with them in developing the executive order driven central bank 81 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,199 digital currency. The Biden administration has put into motion, as demanded by the 82 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,000 Bank of International Settlements that everyone has to have one by twenty twenty five. 83 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,720 And when you look at the interest rates where they are on treasuries, when 84 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,920 you look at the ability for the commercial banks to invest their money market funds 85 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:41,279 into the overnight adverse repo market by the FED, you have a situation where 86 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,639 the regional banks putch are paying in essence one half of one percent in the 87 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240 savings account or maybe four and a half percent in a one year CD. 88 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,319 They're dead in the water. They're going to be bailed in. You're seeing 89 00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:57,160 all of these bank downgrades by Moody's, an S ANDP. You see that 90 00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:01,959 und grade by Fitch. But the law that was put into place well and 91 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,759 during the Don Frank Act says that banks need to be bailed in, not 92 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:10,680 bailed out. And that's why there was such an uproar when Silicon Valid Bank 93 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,480 could Sinatal Bank were bailed out, even though they supposed Billy said it won't 94 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600 be part of the tax fair burden. They were bailed out. They're going 95 00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:20,839 to be bailed in. Well, that fits right into wailed Brainerd's thesis. 96 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:25,079 But let's talk about the full faith and credit, just to bring it all 97 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,199 home. Well, lump sets me more than anything. If we already talked 98 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,839 about the credit, one hundred and fifty five trillion in debt, five trillion 99 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:36,160 in assets, forty percent of our assets or student debt. We take that 100 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,000 out of the equation. We have three and a half trillion in assets batching 101 00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:43,439 one hundred and fifty five trillion in debt. And remember how big a trillion 102 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,360 is. A trillion seconds ago was thirty one thousand, six hundred and eighty 103 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,639 eight years ago. But the game is all but over. We are a 104 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:54,439 Banana republic, were insolvent. Our debt to GDP ratio is one hundred and 105 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,160 thirty to one. That is a Banana republic. Only differences. We don't 106 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,360 jail our political opposition. Oh wait a minute, we don't. We should 107 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,199 probably think didn't worry though, right, And so we did, right. 108 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:09,680 And that is what is not being lost on our foes and our friends. 109 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:15,399 On top of a few other things, this country's obsession with cancil culture, 110 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:24,160 with censorship, with transgenderism, with a breakdown in law and order, and 111 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,040 the way that it is distributed in terms of justice equally or non equally in 112 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600 this case, and the weaponizing of the Justice department in the FDI, to 113 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,879 me is by far the most alarming thing of all of these things. You 114 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,320 put it all together, we have a division and divisiveness. Red versus blue, 115 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,120 black versus white, rich, verse poor vacs no vacs. We are 116 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,080 not a unified country. We are broke, We are insolvent. The justice 117 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,159 department and the rule of law is all upside down. On top of weaponizing 118 00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,519 the dollar, pushing away the lynchpin of the dollar, a gemany of that 119 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:05,799 being so to Arabia, incentivising them to go to grow or before become part 120 00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,759 of a group that represents almost ninety percent in human population. I mean it's 121 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,159 as if they are trying to reset the system end up. The best way 122 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:18,000 to reset the system is to find a villain. When body said it was 123 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,919 Putin's inflation, I knew from right then and there they're looking for a villain 124 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,080 because Kerry, you understand Austrian economics. Every single time inflation is an increase 125 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,679 in the money supply. Look at the money that we created over the last 126 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,879 four years. That submission created all these distortions and asset prices. That's inflation, 127 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,720 right. And the fact that they plainted on Putin, well, what 128 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,120 better way to blow up the whole system because we're so indebted and have nothing 129 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:52,200 in the way of assets, offshort all of our production. Then to find 130 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,240 a villain. We incentivise Saudi Arabia to at some point remember all the OLDEC 131 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,320 countries around the Bell Road, to say, hey, listen, you guys 132 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,240 are going green, sign an executive order. We appreciate the fifty years worth 133 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,840 of protection, but we'll nind ourselves. So two of the three largest nuclear 134 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,480 arsenals in the world ninety percent of human population, and guess what, none 135 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,039 of them are going green. So we respect what you're doing. We're now 136 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,600 going to take oil and other currencies. Whatever that other settlement currency is. 137 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,960 If it's the brick settlement currency, if it's yuan, if it's rupy, 138 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,320 if it's ruble, if it's gold, I don't care as long as it's 139 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,960 not dollars, because when the dollar gets dumbed globally because no one needs to 140 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,679 hold it exclusively to buy oil, it's the great reset. As the dollar 141 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,799 hits our shores and collapses and interest creates spike, it's trouble. And you 142 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,960 know, if it were just that and not what's happening inside this country, 143 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,159 where there is no more unity or law and order is not what it used 144 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,159 to be, then I think it would be easier to swallow, because this 145 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,919 country does well when it's back against is against the wall. But now our 146 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,720 back is against the wall with both arms and both legs together. Was ziptized, 147 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,960 And I don't know how this all plays out, So I wish my 148 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,360 message was not one of of being such a buzz kill. But I find 149 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:16,039 what's happening in this country to be more disturbing to me than anything economically, 150 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,519 I see offshore, which is as gross as it gets in and of itself. 151 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,840 I couldn't agree with you more, Andy, I mean these problems basically, 152 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,759 the country's coming apart at the seams, you know, I mean we're 153 00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,559 becoming a failed state, right, I mean absolutely. I mean, look, 154 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,840 you used to say the plan liberty and justice for all people walk thousand 155 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:41,200 miles through from Central America to get to the US, to find liberty, 156 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:46,559 to get a regime that treats them with respect and liberty and your injustice and 157 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,080 freedom. Well, I mean it used to say these things even exist anymore. 158 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,960 When you look at what's happening around us, it's really quite horrifying. 159 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,120 If you asked me, is if I design? That's the question? Is 160 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,679 it if Jared Bernstein's plan, in Lale Ladd's plan, get rid of the 161 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,039 banks, go modern monetary theory, lose the world reserve currency, blow up 162 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,600 the whole system, find a villain, I don't know, sure would make 163 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,360 a compelling story. It sure does. Man, if I was writing a 164 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,120 novel, I don't think it could be more exciting. Huh, Yeah, 165 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,120 I mean it certainly. It almost gives a novel, and I hope I'm 166 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,960 wrong. I got three kids, my youngest is sixteen. I truly, 167 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:28,039 honest to God, hope I'm wrong. But every day it's reinforced his idiocy 168 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:33,120 and lunacy that we see around us as being reinforced, and that to me 169 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,600 is the biggest problem. Everything else is a sideshow, the macro picture. 170 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,000 And then you take a look at the positioning of big investors out there. 171 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,519 Michael Burry just put ninety three percent of his edge pot over one point six 172 00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:50,440 billion short. He got Warren Buffett, the legendary valued investor, right, 173 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,759 he's got one hundred and forty seven billion in short term treasury. He's not 174 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,360 in the market in short term treasuries because he's waited for an event a collapse, 175 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,159 to jump the bit and buy everything pages on the dollar, which reminds 176 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,120 me of one thing. You know. Thomas Jefferson had a very famous statement. 177 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,360 I'm going to read it because I'll butcher it, but his statement was, 178 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,799 and he said this three hundred years ago. He said that if we 179 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,039 allowed the Central Bank to the United States to ben fill the money supplied, 180 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,799 we would wind up renting back the land that our fathers conquered. Well, 181 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,799 look, first fight inflation. We've already seen that everything was inflated. Asset 182 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,120 prices went to the moon. We suppressed interests for it. Look at the 183 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:35,080 housing market. What's happened now and now comes deflation. As rates keep rising, 184 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,320 it's going to blow up the entire system. And is that what they 185 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,039 wanted? Because you look at the albasine market. We keep seeing rates rise 186 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,240 and it's going to blow up the banks. It'll blow up the housband market, 187 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,840 it'll blow up the bond market. And then you've got guys like Buffett 188 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,159 and Black Rocket would come in and buy everything at tennis on the dollar and 189 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,799 we rent from them. It's almost like Cloud Schwamp's statement of the old nothing 190 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,279 and you'll be happy, you'll rent. It's coming true, and you know 191 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,200 they are they following Thomas Jefferson's advice or the opposite of it rather, because 192 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:16,080 it really, it really has some some reading to it that it's it's setting. 193 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,840 So I wish I wasn't so pessimistic these days. Carryet number was, 194 00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:24,200 but yeah, well it's hard to stay optimistic. So what do you make 195 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,240 of what's going on with cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in particular. We had talked a 196 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:33,000 while ago and you said you'd heard that they were going to crash it come 197 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,840 last November. I think it crashed in December or January, and you know 198 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,720 now it's trading below thirty thousand. What do you think is going on with 199 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:48,399 that? You know, I don't know how much power they really have to 200 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,879 ultimately derail it. I mean, they could pass each Look, there's no 201 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,879 question the Bank of inter National Settlement said by twenty twenty five every single country 202 00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:01,000 needs to have a set an operation central bank digital currency. And when I 203 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:05,159 see the lengths that they are going to meet their agenda and all of these 204 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,519 things, I get nervous that, you know, they will put the squeeze 205 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,360 on things like bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. I don't think they want to compete. 206 00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,399 I wonder if their eyes set on precious metals. I hope not. 207 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:20,440 You know, the one thing that gives me a little bit of hope is 208 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:24,679 you have all of these states out there that have made gold and silver legal 209 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,879 tender Texas, Missouri, Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, North Carolina, and 210 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:33,639 so Oklahola, Nevada. You know none. I am not a big cooin 211 00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,519 hater, but I do think that it has caught the attention of the administration. 212 00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:41,639 I wonder where all of these IRS officials or why they were all hired. 213 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:52,279 I think there is a lot of a lot of what's the word I'm 214 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,399 looking for. I think the administration and the powers that be don't love a 215 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,799 decentralized payment system. I think they wouldn't like to put the combostion on it. 216 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,639 And you know, look, I believe enough in the fact that they 217 00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:11,440 are in some ways cut from the same cloth, at least in terms of 218 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:18,279 mentality, where I don't think there's a problem with owning some bitcoin. In 219 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,080 fact, I think it's probably a smart idea, but I wouldn't put all 220 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,919 of my eggs in that basket. I think, you know, dipping your 221 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,159 toe in the water and owning some a coup of coins, maybe one coin, 222 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,919 whatever is not a bad idea at thirty thousand dollars or whatnot. And 223 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,919 if it goes down lower by some more, how it plays out in the 224 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:44,360 end not sure. But I don't have faith in a lot of things right 225 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,080 now that are pushing back or standing up to this system. And I wonder 226 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,000 to what extent this administration will go to you know to put the kaimash on 227 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,360 that, and maybe the most frightening thing I've seen yet when you talk about 228 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,000 lengths that this administration is going, and I know it's coming from a source 229 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:04,279 that some people will say, well, you know, and consider the source. 230 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:10,880 But Alex Jones came out with something yesterday and it was terrifying, and 231 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,920 he basically said that a whistleblower from Homeland Security told him this isn't debatable, 232 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:22,079 it's already in stone pandemic yep, and that by October all airline passengers and 233 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,480 airline personnel in the airports will be mask mandated, and by December they're going 234 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:33,720 to lockdowns again in full COLVID protocol out of a new variant coming out of 235 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,039 Canada. He says, this isn't conjecture, this has already been told to 236 00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,720 them, that it is happening if they do that, and they try to 237 00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:47,519 do this mail in ballot bullshit, And just along the same lines of what 238 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:52,039 I'm talking about about the denigration of what this country stands for, I think 239 00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:55,720 we're in a really world of hurt. And if I were going to make 240 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,000 one prediction to your listeners out there, it is that you will see more 241 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,160 bank failures. This is Moodies and SMP's way of saying, we told you 242 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,119 so, but this time they're going to be bailed in, not bailed out. 243 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,000 That Don frank Law said, they must be bailed in it and when 244 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,000 that happens, it's next time. I think all hell breaks loose in this 245 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:21,240 country. So these are not exciting times to me. What they are are 246 00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:26,440 very interesting times. And I'm not optimistic about the way everything plays out over 247 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,720 the next fifteen months. But if they if they really try to lock us 248 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:37,279 down the way they're trying to lock up President Trump in what is a failed 249 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:45,279 a failed mentality, a failed rhetoric, I will have lost a lot of 250 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:49,720 hold in what the future brings for this country. I honest to God, 251 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,920 Carrie, I hint even saying this stuff not who I am inside. I'm 252 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,359 a happy guy. I'm a happy, go lucky guy. And yeah, 253 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000 same here. They may beware right now, I do not. I hope 254 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:06,079 I'm wrong, but I don't like what I see all right? Man? 255 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,920 Well, hey, but in good news, you can finally order metal from 256 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,039 most states directly on the Miles Franklin website. Congratulations, Andy, it's a 257 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,559 long time coming. And we will be able to do all states very soon. 258 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,279 There are states that have tax laws like mahind state of Florida here where 259 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:26,759 on the website. We haven't opened up Florida yet because if your two thousand 260 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:30,400 dollars or under their state packs. When people pauus to buy in Florida, 261 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,240 we say, it's got to be over two thousand. But we will be 262 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,079 registered in all fifty states, in all the states that collect sales tax. 263 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,160 California's the same way. Anything over two thousand, no tax, anything under 264 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:49,119 tax. And so we can regulate that on the website without having tax software 265 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:55,400 from a company called Alvalara, which is very very complex. And so between 266 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:02,240 that and having a pop with all of our systems are CRM Management System, 267 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:07,079 all of our payment systems, it's all being integrated. We're we're almost fully 268 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,359 operational, but we've got it about seventy percent operational right now. So thanks, 269 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,759 I appreciate it all right, man, Well, hey, you know 270 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,720 the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, right, yeah, 271 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,839 it does.

So, hey, man, 283 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,039 I'm with you. Hey, my kids are going to have to deal 284 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,880 with it.
