They don't know how to do it. 76 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.479 The AI is basically going to plagiarize what other people 77 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.120 put out there. They're not thinking, they're just collecting what 78 00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.159 other people put out And if The New York Times 79 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.400 other people like that aren't paying attention to it either, 80 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.039 you're certainly not going to get it from AI either. 81 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.560 And it's not the New York Times, it's the New 82 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:07.439 York slimees. 83 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.280 Yeah, that's right, it's right, right, that's right. Well, let's 84 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.280 talk about the trends coming up now. You know, we've 85 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.759 had an amazing year for gold and silver, and it 86 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.800 kicked off again at the beginning. 87 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:19.160 Of this year. 88 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.480 Already, the predictions that we saw from a lot of 89 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.680 the different banking institutions and their analysts, that's already back 90 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.079 in the rearview mirror and we've already sailed past a 91 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.839 lot of those that have been put out there. What 92 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.199 do you think is going to happen with gold and silver? 93 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.600 And this is the key thing, because instead of predicting 94 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.360 a price, I mean, I'm looking at gold and silver, 95 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.920 I'm not looking at it like some kind of a 96 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.079 commodity that's going to be going up and down, up 97 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.199 and down. I see this as a as part of 98 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.680 a reset of the financial system. I imagine you do too. 99 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.800 How do you see it? 100 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:59.800 All? Right? Again? I mentioned the book Trade Tracking nineteen 101 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:04.560 eight nine. I began buying gold in nineteen seventy eight 102 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.839 when the Iranian conflict broke out in the orders to 103 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.240 Hate run without anybody knowing how the AI, the AI, 104 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.079 the CIA and MI six back in nineteen that's fifty 105 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.120 three the most of their government because he said the 106 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.839 oil belongs to the Iranian people, not BP or standard oil. 107 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.879 Back then it was exon standard oil and Anglo Iranian oil. 108 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.600 He said belongs to the Iranian people. 109 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.120 Same mistake as as Chavez right in Venezuela. 110 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:38.079 Same thing. 111 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.680 So what happened I started buying gold back then. What's 112 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.839 going on now has nothing to do back then. Back then, 113 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:52.360 the United States was number one. China's gross domestic product 114 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.000 back in nineteen seventy eight under one hundred and fifty 115 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.439 billion dollars, and this is a billion people under one 116 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.360 hundred fifty billion today when you put the real numbers in, 117 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.800 it's way above twenty trillion. 118 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.079 Wow. 119 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.600 The United States rule the world back then. Now we 120 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.879 have the death of the dollar coming. Trump wants to 121 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.639 lower interest rates. The lower interest rates go, the deeper 122 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.319 the dollar falls deep, the dollar falls, the high goal. 123 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:21.959 Prices go up. 124 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.079 Gold again. Trends Journal subscribers know it as well. You do. 125 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.319 What was our top trend for twenty twenty four Golden 126 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.959 Year for gold?

I said there's going to 129 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.560 be a correction. The gold is going to go down 130 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.279 five at least five hundred dollars. It did about a 131 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.639 week later. It's going to be correction. Nothing goes straight 132 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:57.040 up and straight down. But gold is the future because 133 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.879 of the geopolitical and socio economical and certainties that have 134 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.519 never existed in your lifetime or mine. 135 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.199 Yeah, I agree. 136 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.279 Most times of our lives, and that's why the precious 137 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.000 metals is skyrocketing on the silver d And by the way, 138 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.720 as we're going on the air today, what is gold 139 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.920 is selling for about four thousand, six hundred and twenty 140 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.120 five dollars an ounce. 141 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.560 Yeah, and let me say this, just let the audience know. 142 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.639 We're recording this on Wednesday afternoon, and so you know, 143 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.879 the way things are moving very quickly, it looks like 144 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.319 we're probably by the time this airs, we may be 145 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.319 at war with Iran.

And if that catches on, 190 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.480 I mean I could almost see the US government mandating 191 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.799 it because of the fire hazards with the lithium stuff. 192 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.799 But if that catches on, that's going to be a 193 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.399 huge sink for silver, isn't it. 194 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.840 Yes? And again think about it. Where's Samsung. What country 195 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:29.480 are they from? 196 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.399 Yeah, that's right, South Korea? Right, Yeah, yeah, Asian. 197 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.159 The Asian country is going to take over Ai. Chinese 198 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.600 is going to the world in it, and there's going 199 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.279 to be a dot com bust. They overinvested in these companies. 200 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.279 That's one of our top trends in twenty twenty six. 201 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.720 Ks are born, they grow, they mature, reach old days. 202 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.559 You don't invest in the companies that are infants that 203 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.120 were just born. In twenty twenty two, let's go back 204 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.159 a year ago. About the week a year ago, in 205 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:01.480 a week there was a bust called the when Nvidia 206 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.320 stock lost six hundred billion dollars in one day, when 207 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.679 a company called deep Sea came out from China. Yeah, 208 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.799 oh what about that? Yeah again, you don't invest all 209 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.559 your dough in the companies that are just born. China's 210 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.639 going to lead the world in AI. I've just said 211 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.600 we've done well. I mentioned to you before Slick Willy 212 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.799 Clinton brought them into the World Trade Organization twenty five 213 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.480 years ago. Ten percent of Chinese eighteen year olds went 214 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.279 to college. Today nearly seventy percent, and they're AI high 215 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:36.799 tech addicted and jumping hundreds of billions of dollars into AI. Again, 216 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.639 it's the future. Love and hate it, want it, don't 217 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.759 want it. It's it. And you're going to see a 218 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:47.320 dot com bust if or when the United States and 219 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.399 Israel attack Iran, you're going to see Brent crude go 220 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.720 over one hundred dollars a barrel. That's going to sink 221 00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:00.159 the global economy, the equity markets, and get ready, the 222 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.879 greatest depression. Don't worry when all else fails. They take 223 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.200 you to I'm a Yankee doodle. 224 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.639 Well, while we're on the well, we're on the economy 225 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.159 and gold. As you've always said that Trump is very 226 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.360 good for gold, and now it looks like he wants 227 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.240 to be a one man federal reserve instead of ending 228 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.159 the Federal Reserve, instead of auditing the Federal Reserve. He 229 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.879 wants to get rid of drum Powell. So he's going 230 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.960 to audit the Federal Reserve building. They're not going to 231 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.240 audit the gold that's in Fort Knocks, but he's going 232 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.240 to take it over. He's got some ideas of what 233 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.039 he's going to do to manipulate interest rates and his 234 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.399 own version of quantitative easing that's going to also stoke gold, 235 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:39.840 isn't it. 236 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:40.440 Yep? 237 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.600 And and by the way, I think Trump is going 238 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.720 to be golden for gold. 239 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.879 Yeah, hey, let's go back. 240 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.159 Let's go back to February last year to go the 241 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:57.559 Fort Knox right right, right? Hey, God, so not come 242 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.720 in and go there. They know in there. Hey, no, 243 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.360 it's in they're going to come out with this story. 244 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.799 By the way, according to the data, the United States 245 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.720 has more gold than anybody else in the world. 246 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.039 Well, there's a lot of people that believe that China 247 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.200 has hidden a lot of their stuff. 248 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.799 What do you think they'll say, we got make up 249 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:26.919 a number, and we're raising the price of gold. We're 250 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.360 the ones that set the price and we're changing it. 251 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.399 And now gold is going to be worth ten thousand 252 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.879 dollars an ounce, and we just wiped out our thirty 253 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:45.399 eight trillion dollar budget deficit. Here it'll make up some crap, 254 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:49.799 I'm telling you. Yeah, old is it? Man? Gold again, 255 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.000 there's going to be a correction. Nothing goes straight up 256 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:57.000 the straight down again again you go October sixteenh TNS. 257 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.360 I did a podcast. I said there'd be a correction gold, 258 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.639 it could go down five hundred dollars an ounce. Five 259 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:08.279 days later it went down five hundred dollars. So something 260 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.960 goes straight up, straight down. 261 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:10.799 But this. 262 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.799 Gold and silver, it's the commodity. 263 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:16.960 It is the trend. 264 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.279 Yeah, it is the trend, isn't it. Well let's talk 265 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.399 a little bit about Iran and of course thanks you 266 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.080 change very very quickly in the next twenty four to 267 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:29.840 thirty six hours. But you believe that it's girl. You're 268 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.480 going to send a shockwave through the oil industry and 269 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.759 create a depression. 270 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.200 Right. 271 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.080 Oh yeah. If the prices go up above one hundred 272 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.919 as we're talking now, bread cruise is about sixty five 273 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.799 dollars and change your barrel. This time was about eighty 274 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.320 dollars a barrel. All right, it goes over one hundred 275 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.480 dollars a barrel, you're going to see inflation go way up. 276 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.720 And right now there's more supply than demand. That's why 277 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.559 the prices are so low. And supply than demand needs 278 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:07.039 the whole economies on slowdown. Mm's a spike above one 279 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.399 hundred dollars a barrel, you're going to see an equity 280 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.279 market crash. 281 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.679 Yeah. 282 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.799 Well again, when we look at this with all of 283 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.039 it is in Venezuela. Trump had meeting last week and 284 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.919 he had these different oil company executives in and the 285 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.600 X and CEO said he thought that Venezuela was uninvestible, 286 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.159 and right after that, drum says, well, he's out. You know, 287 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.440 he's not going to get so it is actually uninvestable 288 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.679 for his company, I guess. But when you look at it, 289 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.799 you know, not factoring in what's what the shock to 290 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.440 the oil system that an Iran war is going to do. 291 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.919 But when you look at where we are right now, 292 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.399 without that being there, what incentive would the oil companies 293 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.399 have to go in there and put a glut of 294 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.080 oil on the market. They don't want to see the 295 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.840 price go down. This might be more of an incentive 296 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.120 for them to get in invested in Venezuela. But it's 297 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.679 still a long time to get this infrastructure to where 298 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.960 it's productive again. Right, What do you think about that 299 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.240 in terms of the oil aspect of change? 300 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.200 I think economies go up and down. And what you 301 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:21.639 about Trump throwing a guy from excell Now, this is Trump. 302 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.399 Last week in The York and the New York Times, 303 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.159 they said they asked him if there were any limits 304 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:30.919 on his global powers. 305 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:40.679 Oh yeah, said quote, yeah, yeah, there is one thing, 306 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.679 one thing. 307 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:49.600 My own morality, my own mind. It's the only thing 308 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.759 that could stop me. I don't need international law. All right, 309 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:59.320 we'll stop. Yeah, my own mind. How about what somebody? 310 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.639 What the hell you're talking about? What someone else's thinking? 311 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:11.079 Only my mind counts. I know everything you know you 312 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.799 as you know. I taught close combat for many years, 313 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.799 and like the guy you used to write for the magazine, 314 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.400 may rest in peace. Bradley Steiner, top close combat guy 315 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.440 in America who taught my teacher, John Perkins. The first 316 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.519 thing number one that we learned in close combat the 317 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:38.759 only time you use your ego is when your life 318 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:45.480 is on the line. That's my ego. That's what matter. 319 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:51.240 Trump is pure ego when he says that only his 320 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.880 mind counts, would other people? Facts, data show that doesn't 321 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.039 count at all. It's only my mind. It's pure ego. 322 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:08.599 Yeah. Yeah, the ego has landed. That's basically. It's amazing. 323 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.759 And what is amazing to me is so many people 324 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.200 that can't or won't see that and just how dangerous 325 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:15.680 that is. 326 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:17.680 Yeah, it truly is amazing. 327 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.880 Well, you know, when we look at this, there's another 328 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.240 aspect of the Iranian thing, which you've talked about in 329 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.920 the past as well, gen Z revolt, and so there's 330 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.160 been a massive revolt that's there. And I looked at 331 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:30.640 this and I thought, you know, why in the world 332 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.359 did anybody in their right mind, assuming they had in mind, why. 333 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:35.920 Would you interfere with that right? 334 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.119 If he interferes with this, of course, that's going to 335 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.079 only help the iatola because, as you've pointed out over 336 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.640 and over again, when people have and we've seen this 337 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.400 throughout history many times in our lives, we've seen that, 338 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.480 you know, governments will take people to war because things 339 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.240 are difficult domestically, and they get people's minds off it. 340 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:58.920 We saw it with Israel and that and Yahoo, right, 341 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.880 take them to war because he's struggling politically in his 342 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.480 own country. And so if somebody is struggling politically in 343 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.880 their own country, they want to have a war, Why 344 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.480 would Trump give that to them? If he had any 345 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.880 inkling of a strategy? 346 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:14.279 Why would you ask that question? 347 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.319 That's a rhetorical question. 348 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.359 Why Yeah? Why is it? Insane? Person? Insane? I mean, 349 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.160 you know, let's look back to gen z Revolution. First 350 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.720 of all, you med about Nen Yavu. Everybody forgets there 351 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.640 were thirty nine weeks a protest going on in Israel 352 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.279 before the Hamas attack. Yeah, because the Trump's Trump's Trump, 353 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:42.880 Nen Yahoo, Greenberg, Iceberg. What's the difference? Yeah, Nen Yahoo 354 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.960 wanted to do weag with the court system and say 355 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.880 the government was in control. There were thirty nine weeks 356 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.680 of protest because of his Judicial Reform Act. Not my language, 357 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.559 the language from Isaac Herzog, president of Israel. There's a 358 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.400 civil war going on. There was a civil war going on. 359 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:10.680 Master attacks. Everybody forgot going back, hah, that's Israel. You know, 360 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.000 we only write the facts three days. Everybody forgot this. 361 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.440 Three days after the attack, it was reported that the 362 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:21.200 United States and Egypt had warned Israeli attack was coming, 363 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.279 and other newspapers have since reported they all knew it 364 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.119 was coming. They let it happen, not the people's mind 365 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.440 of it. 366 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.279 That's right. 367 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.960 So when all else fails, they take you to war. 368 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.680 And the global economies are failing.
