1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: Especially with silver the people's money. You know, it's been

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
suppressed for so long people don't even really consider it

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,039
to be money anymore. But then again, for those who

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,400
are awake and aware and know and understand importance of possession,

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,439
you possession beats price any day.

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,119
to the Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Carrie Lutz.

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,159
It's October seventh of twenty twenty five, and I got

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,560
my good friend Mike here from Rethinking the Dollar. And Mike,

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,359
I love the time title of your site, of your channel,

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,719
because certainly the world is rethinking the dollar right now

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,560
as we speak. And if you don't believe it, look

19
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:12,480
at the price of gold almost four thousand dollars a

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,599
hair's breath away and silver a mini raid. It's down

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,599
to forty eight dollars, but it's going to blow pass

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,079
fifty dollars. Martin Armstrong says seventy five. Eric Sprott says

23
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:30,120
three hundred. I'm of the opinion somewhere between seventy five

24
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:32,439
and three hundred is where it's going to be. Assuming

25
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,200
there is a dollar left, there will be a dollar.

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,200
But again we're talking reset here, right right, right, one

27
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:41,079
hundred percent. Okay, thank you for having me on the show.

28
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned before, we win live mat just

29
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,040
so many stuff happening, and it's very interesting times. And

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,280
so in reference to the spot price that you just mentioned,

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,239
especially with silver, the people's money, you know, it's been

32
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,359
suppressed for so long, people don't even really consider it

33
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,319
to be money anymore. But then again, for those who

34
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,719
are awake and aware and know and understand important of possession,

35
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,840
you possession beats priced any day. And outside of the

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,959
spot price, we're seeing at forty eight dollars or so,

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,680
to actually get possession in your hand today, it's well

38
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,759
above fifty because you have the premium. And then also

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,280
I'm noticing a difference or a decoupling of the Western

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,719
and Eastern hemisphere actual physical possession price. And so here

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,879
in the US we can get possession of silver just

42
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,120
by going online and grabbing it, because this appears to

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,759
be a nice supply. But what I'm seeing in Europe,

44
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,439
from what I've witnessed, a lot of people post screenshots

45
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,599
of either limited supply or restrictions on how much you

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,120
can buy because of the unavailability of silver rounds especially

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,439
and even bars in a lot of European countries. So

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,080
the price for Spot physical in your hand out in

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Europe is close to the fifties five, fifty six, efty

50
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,879
seven and so literally that to me is more of

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,080
what the real price is. So we've already surpassed fifty

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,759
in my opinion, but it just hasn't been reflected in

53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,159
the total number of federal reserve units that I believe.

54
00:02:59,159 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Will one day.

55
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I have to be accounted for in the real price,

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,919
you know, Spot price wise. So yeah, but yeah, it's

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,719
interesting times.

58
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: I just got to tell you a funny, funny story.

59
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,520
You know. I was at the SPOT conference in Florida,

60
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,919
and I was talking to somebody who's an expert in

61
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,599
medals bullion dealer silver gold, and said, what do you

62
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:27,680
think of forty percent Kennedy half dollars? Oh? Oh, nobody

63
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:34,159
wants them. They trade below spot and they're undesirable. I said, well,

64
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,319
then I'm not even going to mention war Nichols. And

65
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,039
you know, I'm just laughing because the last time when

66
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,800
silver got down to eight to ten dollars an ounce,

67
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,400
right after the crash, I picked up a bag of

68
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:53,400
forty percent Kennedy's one thousand dollars face value. I think

69
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:56,400
I picked it up below spot at the time for

70
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:59,639
around two thousand and now that thing is worth I

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,400
think around six thousand without and it might be a

72
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:08,520
little bit under melt value now. I use spot and

73
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:12,639
melt interchangeably, so if I confuse you out there, I'm sorry,

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,680
but it's probably right at melt value now and I

75
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,800
bought it. I think around ten percent below milt when

76
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,240
I bought it. And so the point is when there

77
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:31,240
is a silver shortage, when the supply is tightening, people

78
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,279
just want the metal, and you know, they're not worrying

79
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:40,279
about how much a smelter is going to change to

80
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,319
charge to melt the thing down. And that's a change

81
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:46,439
in perspective. One thing you said, I want to make

82
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:50,519
clear about most people not remembering when silver was money.

83
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,639
I was eight years old or seven years old, and

84
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,639
I think probably eight years old when they took silver

85
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,639
out of coinage in the United State. That means that

86
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,639
most of the people alive today don't remember when silver

87
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:10,879
when you actually drop the coin and you got that

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,480
chime because it's got silver in it, they don't know.

89
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:17,600
So there's a relearning process taking place here, Mike that

90
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,920
I think you and I and many of our colleagues

91
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:26,079
out there are assisting with. And for ten twelve years,

92
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,920
they just kind of laughed at us because everything seemed

93
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,959
to be under control. Silver was, you know, at twenty

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,879
bucks and most of the What they didn't realize is

95
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,160
that most of the deposits around the world were uneconomical

96
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:45,560
from a pure silver perspective. I mean, there's a company

97
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,160
I saw their mine out in Nevada. They were sitting

98
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:55,360
on like fifty million ounces that was almost exposed in

99
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,319
leech pads, and there was like they couldn't they couldn't

100
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,680
make a go of it. It wasn't economically feasible, even

101
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,800
with the government paying the money to get rid of

102
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,360
a super fun site. So my point is a remodetization

103
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,480
of silver is definitely on its way, and all the

104
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,920
metals I mean, look what's happening with platinum. It's over

105
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:22,439
sixteen hundred dollars an ounce. For years, it's been under

106
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,439
a thousand, and I keep saying there's no way it

107
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,160
can stay there. Of course I didn't buy it. The

108
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:32,199
reason I didn't buy it really is because it's just

109
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,920
people don't understand it. And that means that if you

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,319
need the liquidity of it, it's going to be hard

111
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,959
to sell it. You're better off with silver. It appreciated

112
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,720
more than platinum has. But that's the story for another day.

113
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,560
Point is the things that were taken as valueless for

114
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,959
so long are now considered valuable. And that's a big deal.

115
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,399
Speaker 1: Right right, you're true, And I think a lot of

116
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:02,680
that has to do with the mis education or the

117
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,519
misdirecting of information, and it happened to be centered around

118
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:09,160
the whole idea of financial literacy, Like financial literacy has

119
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,759
always been geared towards you know, whatever you earn and

120
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
then putting into the hands of somebody who can operate

121
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,639
on your best interests supposedly, but it's always into the

122
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:21,040
legacy trad fied markets with buying products such as indexes

123
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:24,399
or funds or whatever that might be never about the

124
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:27,319
true essence of what money was, is and will always

125
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,639
remain in this da nag. So financial literacy was literally

126
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,879
designed to distract people to where That's why this generation

127
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:35,680
they understand in the ports of metal. So you know,

128
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:37,920
that's why I kind of coined the phrase, you know,

129
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
monetary literacy. If people understood the monetary journey of what

130
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,199
a dollar is, you'll see how easy it is to

131
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,120
really appreciate the affordability of silver right now, especially a

132
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,399
fifty dollars. It's extremely cheap given you know where it

133
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160
should go in the future. So yeah, education has been key.

134
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,879
Speaker 3: Man, and that's we're really in the educational business, the

135
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,439
education in street. When you get down to it, we're

136
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,920
using monetary history to explain to people what's going on today,

137
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,079
why you need to prepare, because it's not just the dollar.

138
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,000
It's every piece of paper, digital or otherwise out there

139
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,560
that purports to be a store of value and a

140
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600
medium of exchange. You know, the dollar is still a

141
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:29,720
medium of exchange, but its store of value is greatly diminished.

142
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,200
I don't think it's going away tomorrow, but the trend

143
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:38,799
is inexorable. And whether Martin Armstrong's right, and it's twenty

144
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:42,399
thirty two, whatever it might be. This way, you need

145
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,120
to buy this book. Here. I'll get in a little

146
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:49,799
book plug here. The world according to Martin Armstrong Conversations

147
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:55,320
with the Master Forecaster, because twenty thirty two is it right? Now?

148
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Everything appears to be normal to the untrained eye, though, Mike,

149
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,759
how do you how do you explain to your your

150
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,159
people out there that it's not what they think it is?

151
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,879
Speaker 1: Well, I would first point to just a lot of

152
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:14,720
the what appears to be distractions, Like I always looked

153
00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:16,840
at look at you know, I know that a lot

154
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:19,799
of the agenda is to distract people from paying attention

155
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,200
to key issues. And so they're they meaning whoever's you know,

156
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,679
they're they're they're ready to navigating, you know, these times

157
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,960
we're in, they're throwing distractions of all kinds. And so

158
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,960
you have the technological a distraction. So we got the

159
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,279
AI situation with Sora and deep fakes and all those

160
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,759
things on one side. Then you have the whole military

161
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,480
conflicts and geopolitical events, so that's another issue. Then you

162
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:42,639
have the political rifferent rap between the left and right paradigm.

163
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,519
And so now we got a government shut down and

164
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720
then you have you know all, you know, just the

165
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,559
the financial issues that our government has with you know,

166
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,639
the deficits and the dad and so it's more so

167
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:56,879
pick whatever you know resonates most with you. Where do

168
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,879
you personally feel that you're being shafted or being lied to?

169
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,600
And just start with that. And so everybody might be different.

170
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,200
Everybody's sitting in a different position these days, experiencing a

171
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,879
different level of irritation and frustration. And so once you

172
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:12,519
can pinpoint that, now dive deeper. And then that's where

173
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:15,240
you get to the education side. Because once you dive deep,

174
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,679
you got two choices. You can stay and attach to

175
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,200
the mainstream narrative or you can then go to the

176
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,080
alternative contrarian point of view, where you'll be more than

177
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:25,879
likely to get some counter narratives to the lives that

178
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:28,440
we're being told from the mainstream media. And then from

179
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,360
there it's like, okay, then what do you do with

180
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:34,559
that information? Because it's definitely going to disrupt your conventional

181
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,759
way of thinking. And now with that extra information you have,

182
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,840
what are you going to do with it? Are you

183
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,200
going to put it to action? And it alstomately leads

184
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,480
you to realize that you're responsible for yourself. No one

185
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,919
in a suit and a tied the podium can make

186
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,799
the change that you know we need as a people

187
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,600
and spell especially individually.

188
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 4: So it all boils down to education once again.

189
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: So once once I lay all that out, then at

190
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480
that point the next response is okay, so what do

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,600
you do what pains you most?

192
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,399
Speaker 4: And then that's when I go back to rethinking the dollar.

193
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,039
Speaker 1: The whole idea of just starting my channel was the

194
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,919
narrative of b dollarization, like witnessing the removal of the

195
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:15,320
dollar out of the world system bit by bit, and

196
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:17,960
as you mentioned, the dollar's not going to where of course,

197
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,519
but every fiat currency is literally being rebranded right now,

198
00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:24,840
and so de dollarization has been my primary focus. But

199
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,240
what we're witnessing now, I believe with the response of

200
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:31,039
gold and silver, you know, probably getting more attention that

201
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,679
you know, the people in power would like for it

202
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,080
to be. I think it's more so to do with

203
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,759
what I call the defiatization, where every government's in the

204
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,799
same boat looking for similar solutions. And that's why I

205
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,720
believe a lot of this is coordinated efforts by governments

206
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,480
in a unified sense to try to create disruptions, distractions

207
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,240
because ultimately debasement is all that can take place, and

208
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,159
that's where we get into the digital slide of thing.

209
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,679
So you know, everything is interconnected. But you know, gold

210
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,519
and silver is revealing truth because they are monetary constants

211
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:06,440
and they're not going nowhar but the price that we

212
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,919
perceive them as is based upon the destruction of the

213
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,720
fie currency. So yeah, and that's why that's what excites me, man,

214
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,080
just realizing that we're literally in the midst of a reset,

215
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,879
but not the way.

216
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,639
Speaker 4: Most people might typically think of it to be so exactly.

217
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:24,919
Speaker 3: Could not agree with you more. I mean, there's so

218
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,519
many things happening, and like you say, a lot of

219
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:34,120
noise out there, but the reality is that something big

220
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,080
is happening here, and you know you need to be

221
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:42,519
aware of it because the who the heck knows what's

222
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:44,039
going to happen here right.

223
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: Right, right right.

224
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: And so the good thing is and I'm sure you

225
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,120
know with Martin Armstrong and his forecast, you know it's

226
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,279
it's it's possible to get an idea based upon trends,

227
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,200
based upon the continuous reactions of those that are in

228
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,240
positions of power and this where I go back to

229
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,559
the dollar concept, realizing the journey of what we call

230
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:10,759
a dollar. We've witnessed the debasement as well as the

231
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:15,159
degrading of our financial structure for decades now, so that

232
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:18,120
it doesn't take a PhD to realize that there's only

233
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,360
so much readily available purchasing power left and what we

234
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,279
call a dollar. And that's why I also continue to

235
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,000
remind people that not all dollars are created equal. And

236
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:32,600
so what I'm holding my hand is a Federal Reserve note,

237
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,000
and so if you look at it from a technical standpoint,

238
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:37,879
it's a debt instrument, and all debts must come do

239
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:40,679
and so if you look at it from that standpoint,

240
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,799
then obviously there's a day of reckoning coming for that

241
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:47,720
unit there. But then also there's the American silver Eagle

242
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,200
version of a dollar, and on the back of it

243
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,559
it says a dollar as well. Now that has been

244
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,559
the recipient of the debasement of this note here, And

245
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,799
so just from that technical standpoint there you can see

246
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:01,320
what one you might want to hold onto a little

247
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,320
bit longer. But you know, narratives make a world of

248
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,759
difference as well as terminology at this point because every

249
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,720
little detail matters, I believe.

250
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: Oh yes, that's for sure, and you know, they tell

251
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,759
us everything's fine. And that's that's why I got into this,

252
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:23,519
because the disinformation after the financial collapse, you know, eight nine,

253
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:27,919
was like staggering, and many of you out there didn't

254
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,559
understand what was taking place. So I felt like, that's

255
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,120
why I got into this. And now it's kind of inescapable,

256
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,519
isn't it. Right?

257
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: Right, we were beyond any point of return, and a

258
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,519
lot of it has to do with you know, the narrative,

259
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:49,639
of course, and propaganda. Propaganda will pick up intensively in

260
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,840
the next couple of years because the goal is to

261
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:56,960
distract the masses from truth while keeping them hopeful of

262
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,600
some type of positive outcome. And so one again, I

263
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:04,919
don't necessarily mean to be critical of any individual person, candidate,

264
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,679
political party, but you have to realize that we didn't

265
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,399
get to this problem that to this point in history

266
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:13,639
without there being a lot of problems compounded upon each

267
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:16,879
other throughout the last decades. And it's been a left

268
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,679
and right paradigm issue. And so whether you left wing,

269
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:22,159
right wing, it's all a wing on the same bird

270
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,960
heading in the same direction. And so the question is like,

271
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,159
what are some key indicators that really really pay attention

272
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,120
to to witness this change as it unfolds. And I

273
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:35,399
believe it has everything to do with this current administration,

274
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,840
the team of advisors around him, the ongoing encroachment of

275
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,679
the government and.

276
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 4: To our lives.

277
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: We're hearing narratives about digital ID, We're hearing the investment

278
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,759
of our government buying actual publicly traded companies for the

279
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,759
sake of making our country data great again. But they're

280
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:57,759
not telling you the ultimate agenda, which I can go

281
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,000
down that rabbit hole, but I want to be too

282
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,720
doing gloom. But you see all these narratives for me

283
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,639
and with special tariffs, tariffs have been very hard on

284
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:11,679
the average John Jaye, because someone's gonna eat those costs,

285
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960
and I doubt it's the people who are in business

286
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,159
to make a profit at the end of the day,

287
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,960
so they're just going to pass those costs on to

288
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,840
other people, i e. The consumers. And then you have

289
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:22,399
the government fiasco to shut down. So all these things

290
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,399
here point to a day of collision where we're going

291
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,360
to either have a public that gets tired of being

292
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,559
lied to as they find out truth and they're going

293
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:35,080
to push back or you're going to have a government

294
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,639
that loses the ability to control and deceive the masses

295
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:41,639
to where they now have to up the anti And unfortunately,

296
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:45,159
whatever you up to, Annie, it's usually to keep people

297
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,200
within the as the quote unquote sheepspan of control with

298
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,120
a much bigger distraction, similar to the health event we

299
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:54,120
had a couple of years ago which got everybody to

300
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,399
obey and comply and stay within the lines, and every

301
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720
other event we've had, so there's always some type of

302
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,399
com that brings things back front center for the powers

303
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,599
that be I aka the government's and you know, the

304
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,960
special interest group. So I foresee an event coming because

305
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,880
you can't continue this current pathway without there being a

306
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920
bubble bursting of some kind, and then that'll be an

307
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,400
excused for the next round of you know, plans and

308
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:21,519
operations for this reset that we're experienced.

309
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: I believe it is so correct, and you know it's uh,

310
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,640
it's it's always sleight of hand. You see this hand,

311
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,759
watch out for that one, and that that's kind of

312
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,640
where we're at here. So best way is to prepare

313
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,119
for this. And by the way, uh, bitcoin, as I

314
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720
knew was going to happen. I wrote articles about it.

315
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,319
It's in the midst of a short squeeze. And whether

316
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,079
it's an illusion and it's going to collapse and only

317
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,319
gold and silver will prevail, or whether it is the

318
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,519
digital gold of the future. That's for you to decide.

319
00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,519
But certainly having a small exposure to it not one

320
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,319
that if it goes to nothing is going to break you.

321
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,559
It's in't such a bad idea, is correct? I agree?

322
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: And so another little phrase I coined prior to this

323
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,759
administration is to be on the lookout for what I

324
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:17,640
consider to be the Maga wealth effect. And so, knowing

325
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,279
Donald Trump non highly operates, you know, he wants to

326
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,680
literally leave a lasting impression, and he loves to boast

327
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,200
when things go well, and then he loves to blame

328
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,880
when things go wrong. And I believe he wants to

329
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,920
own what he would consider the biggest boom in American history.

330
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,400
And I think crypto is a part of that bold

331
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,079
And so right now we're witnessing rents of all time

332
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,880
highs and everything priced in USD terms, and so you

333
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,079
have to look at it from the standpoint of are

334
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,880
they really appreciating and value that much from a utility standpoint,

335
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,799
from a you know, a benefit to mankind standpoint, or

336
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:55,680
is it our currency literally is being deflated away that

337
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:58,799
much faster from on a global scale to where you

338
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:02,119
have nations that are sitting on stockpiles of our AKA

339
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,319
reserves deciding to dispense some of those things for their

340
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,839
benefit and protection as well. So crypto is gonna go up,

341
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,519
Goals gonna go up, mine is gonna go up, Stock's

342
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,880
gonna go housing might go up, and so like that

343
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
to me is the truest sign of distortion awhere. Because

344
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,160
of this monetary reabity we in, we can't really decipher what.

345
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,559
Speaker 3: Will stick and what will not.

346
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: That's why having some skin in the game, you know,

347
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,920
especially at a proportion that you will be willing to

348
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,480
lose if it was to be Yeah, I exposed as

349
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:30,839
a fraud or phony, you know, won't really hurt you,

350
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,039
hopefully as long as you got gold and silver as anchor.

351
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:38,599
Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah, this is it, man exactly, and you

352
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,720
need to you need to be aware of this stuff

353
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,319
because it's real. This is not your imagination or my

354
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,680
imagination or delusions. I mean. The fact is the dollar's

355
00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:56,000
value since the Federal Reserve. It's virtually been completely debased.

356
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,400
The only thing that saved it and kept it where

357
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,119
it is obviously the military, but also technology, and maybe

358
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,400
AI is going to be the next step. Look, I

359
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,119
thought we were head for collapse at the beginning of

360
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,079
the two thousands, but then we got this thing called

361
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:20,440
the internet, right, and the Internet dramatically boosted productivity in

362
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:25,279
ways that the bean counters at all the various departments

363
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:29,160
in the government are unable to calculate. You know, when

364
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,880
I'm sitting here and when I had my IBM original,

365
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,680
IBM PC or clone, and I waited for it to

366
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,400
do something, it took like a minute to do it.

367
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,799
Now it's instantaneous. So my productivity has gone up. And

368
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:49,799
now with AI, my productivity has gone up one hundredfold.

369
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,079
Like literally, I've written six, actually nine books in the

370
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,559
past six or eight months. Not have the AI writing

371
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:03,559
them for me because that doesn't work because it has

372
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,480
hallucinations and stuff. But the ability to write my material,

373
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,839
dictate it and then have it put it into a

374
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,079
first draft where I can really get to work on

375
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,279
it and clean it up. And you know, that's how

376
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:20,759
I partly wrote the world. According to Martin Armstrong. I

377
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:25,880
took all my interviews, I transcribed them through an app.

378
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,559
Then I took the AI and cleaned up, got rid

379
00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:33,000
of the o's and o's, and edited the pertinent parts

380
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:40,720
of the conversations. Then I wrote summaries and takeaways all that,

381
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:43,160
and then I had to clean it up. And then

382
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,240
I had a human editor go through all of it

383
00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:47,759
and fix all the stuff it couldn't do and that

384
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480
I missed because I'm better writer than I am editor.

385
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,160
But I would say, man, I would urge anyone in

386
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,440
this business write a book because it will have untold

387
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,359
advantages that you will know ever ever anticipate. So like

388
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:09,039
three predictions for the coming let's say year for twenty

389
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,200
twenty six, what you see happening?

390
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:14,799
Speaker 4: Okay, man, Okay, that's a good one.

391
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: So finished off this year, I see, of course, golden

392
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:19,279
silver touching all the time highs that we you know,

393
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,839
wouldn't have foresaw happening this fast.

394
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: So that's one.

395
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: I want to get price predictions just because you know,

396
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,279
I could be proven work. But everything will continue to

397
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,359
go up. As I mentioned before, I think Trump's legacy

398
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,880
is at stake here, so he's going to do whatever

399
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,440
he can to make sure the things continue to trend out.

400
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,319
Speaker 4: So from a financial standpoint, you know, if you got

401
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,599
skin in the game, you should be good.

402
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: One of the issues with that is also realizing that

403
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,599
it can't last whatever, So how do you either get in,

404
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,480
get out x or whatever.

405
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,319
Speaker 4: That that's gonna be a strategy in of itself. Okay,

406
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,240
second thing I would.

407
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,839
Speaker 1: Like to put out there is a probability of a

408
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:53,839
military conflict, some type of event as a distraction away

409
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,400
from the market activity if it doesn't happen to go

410
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,880
in a favorable way that this administs would want to go.

411
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,920
I believe that there's always the threat of some type

412
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,839
of conflict that could be an instantaneous boost for the

413
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,079
markets because our government then.

414
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: Has to borrow and create and we're off the races again.

415
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:13,599
Speaker 1: And then next I would imagine I'm keeping an eye

416
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000
on this, you know, Middle Eastern conflict. I think that's

417
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:20,039
going to be a real determined as to how the

418
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:23,240
rest of the world responds in reference to whether it

419
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:26,759
be military, financial, whatever, because you know that you know,

420
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,079
issue between Gaza and Palasinian and the Israelis, that's really

421
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:32,759
something to keep an eye on. Also, from a spiritual

422
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,079
standpoint as well. So those are three areas that I

423
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,480
think will be hot topics from here on out. And

424
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,880
the outcome could be favorable for those that are aware

425
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:44,160
ahead of time, but you know, uneventful unfortunate for those

426
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,160
that catch it on too as late. So yeah, educate yourself,

427
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,400
take action today people. Time is taking all right, man.

428
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,039
Speaker 3: I love it. And I think Armstrong says, look out

429
00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,759
for Ukraine, whether it'll still exist because the Russians will

430
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:04,279
not accept the defeat there because that will be the

431
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,200
collapse and the splitting up of the Russian continent subcontinent.

432
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,240
They won't accept it. They're not going to allow it.

433
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,400
And that's something that you absolutely have to be aware of.

434
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,720
And I would say that bitcoin. I think bitcoin is

435
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,400
part of the plot to reset the dollar, and that's

436
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,880
why you had these stable coins and that's why you've

437
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,799
had all this acceptance. I was at the Bitcoin conference

438
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,920
Mike in Las Vegas, Bitcoin twenty twenty five and Trace Mayor,

439
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:42,839
one of the original Bitcoin whales. If I had only

440
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,799
listened to him, I would own my own island now.

441
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,839
He said that over half the contributions coming to the

442
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:57,319
Republican Party are from crypto interests. All right, and that

443
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,119
is a switch because those are younger people. Alignment of

444
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,680
the parties is totally changed. Not that I care about

445
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,759
the parties that much, but my point is that I

446
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,480
think they're going to inflate bitcoin to fifty million dollars

447
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:14,799
a coin and then use it to pay off They'll

448
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,279
issue a stable coin because the US government sitting on

449
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,400
a huge hoard of bitcoin. We don't even know how much.

450
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:24,880
We are totally clueless about it. It's hundreds of thousands

451
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,119
of coins. But if you would put a dollar into

452
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,359
bitcoin in twenty ten, it'd be worth one point two

453
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,720
five million dollars now. So for them to make that

454
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:41,519
thing go up another twenty or thirty times, isn't that hard?

455
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,480
Maybe fifty times. You do that, then you issue a

456
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,240
stable coin backed by bitcoin, you pay off all that debt,

457
00:25:50,839 --> 00:25:57,160
and you reset social Security the leftovers, and the problem solved.

458
00:25:57,319 --> 00:25:59,559
Whether the rest of the world goes along with it

459
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,559
or not is another issue, but that's what I'm predicting.

460
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,559
In any event, just tell us where we find you,

461
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,160
your website, your social media, all that good stuff, good stuff,

462
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,920
good stuff, good Carrie.

463
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: Thank you as always for having me rethinking a dollar

464
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,119
just type in the search engine and it'll take you

465
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,839
to YouTube to rumble and then read thinking a dollar

466
00:26:16,839 --> 00:26:18,839
on all the socials is where you can find me.

467
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,880
And I try to do any news updates, interviews, you know,

468
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,480
you name it. Any way I can to get information

469
00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:26,400
is not common knowledge into the hands of the people

470
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,400
so that they can have a choice as to what

471
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,079
type of information they want to receive. So readthink a dollar,

472
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,440
just google it, you'll find you my friend.

473
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: Thank you all right, then it's been a pleasure and

474
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:38,319
appreciate you coming on. And you really are making a difference,

475
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:40,519
even though there was a period of time where we

476
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:44,680
felt like we weren't making a difference. We really are,

477
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:46,759
aren't we a right? One hundred percent?

478
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:49,039
Speaker 1: There's more people waking up, and it's a clear indication

479
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,599
by go to silver activity right now. You know when

480
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:53,640
people want family and friends wain contacting me in a

481
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,359
minute on this subject matter reaches out. Yeah, they were

482
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,279
listening back in the day.

483
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,519
Speaker 3: And the sad thing is that the power that be

484
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:06,519
have have really suppressed our message, done everything in their

485
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:10,880
power to stop us, and yet the message still has

486
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,960
gotten out. We've still managed to get this thing done.

487
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,759
Here Man that's pretty I'm pretty proud of it because

488
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:22,160
you and I both know the suppression is real. Uh,

489
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:28,720
you know, certain big tech platforms still suppressing us after

490
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:34,240
all these years, man, and uh somehow we've managed to

491
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,640
to still actually get it done mat So that's off

492
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,079
to you. Appreciate you coming on. If you've got a

493
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,359
question for Mike myself, shoot me an email kl at

494
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,559
Carrie lets dot com. Financial Survival Network dot com is

495
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,839
now a stub a substack site because I just got

496
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,119
tired of maintaining the site. It was costly. Honestly. Substack

497
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,759
does ever everything all in one, so it's khl FSN

498
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,160
substack dot com or Financial Survival Network dot com. Mike
