Speaker 1: Because they're so close to having this power, all right,
they suck in Biden and they've stuck in Camilla. She's
just Biden again to sign whatever's in front of her.
You know, read this the notes. That's about it. They
don't want any kind of a strong president whatsoever.

Network now more than ever.
Speaker 3: And welcome you are listening to and watching the Financial
Survival Network. Hey, unless you've been in a bunker or
totally cut off from reality, you know that what's going
on now is completely insane. We wanted to touch base
with our good friend Martin Armstrong, get his take on
the election, the economy of the stock market, gold and
the world in general. Marty, it's great to have you back. Hey,
don't forget you find him at Armstrong Economics dot com.
I suggest everybody go there sign up for his daily
missives because you really got to see what you've been writing, Marty.
So real, simple question, Marty, where are we right now?
What is going on right now?
Speaker 1: Look, this is a this is really an election between
the neocons and the American people. What you have to
understand is, as you know, I know some of these people,
I mean even some have spoken in our conferences back
in the nineties. These people have been I don't know,
I think brain dead or damaged since the fifty when
we all had a high underneath our our desks in
school because we're going to get new by the Russian
doos whatever. Yeah, but it's they were against communism and
then when communism feel they didn't change. The guys said,
I was down in in in DC, and I can
tell you when Reggie wanted to meet Gorbachopp, they were
against it. They said, oh, they couldn't call him a Russian,
I mean a communist, So they just said that you
can never trust the Russian. So these people, that's why
I've warned that, Look, and they either have to start
a war or assassinate Trump because they're so close to
having this power, all right. They stuck in in Biden,
and they've stuck in Camilla. She's just Biden again, She'll
sign whatever is in front of her. You know, read
the notes that that's about it. They don't want any
kind of a strong president whatsoever, like.
Speaker 3: The last Umber of China, right, just put the thing
in front of him and sign it and shut up.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean look, as you know, I was
part of the vetting process for people to want to
be president, and it was always do you think they're
smart enough? Et cetera. Then nineteen ninety nine it was like, well,
we want you to go down and meet Bush Junior.
I said, yeah, okay, fine, and they said, oh, but
this one's different. That said what's different? And they said,
oh no, he's really stupid. And I said excuse me,
and they really did use that word. And I said,
why would you make somebody stupid president? And the response was, look,
he's got the name and we can win. And that's
when I saw it. First. They picked the cabinet, they
picked Chening, they put all these people in. I was
even asked if I would take the Chief Economic Advice
you're in the White House. I said, no, thank you.
I'm not going to give up my company. For a
couple of years, stinting this and ever since then. You know,
this has been the game. You know, once they tasted
that power, they just don't want to give it back.
So I mean, look, Biden's not there forty percent of
the time. Camilla is running around basically campaigning. Just ask
the question, who is running the government?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to know that answer, And it's a cabal.
It's a hunt. Right, we have a hundred pages in
this country.
Speaker 1: You have to understand there are what people called the
deep state, or these bureaucrats that are non elected, and
they're always there. It doesn't matter what administration you're talking about.
Republican Democrat, that's all kind of nonsense. In fact, the
guy that wrote the thing you know, Trump's going to
be a dictator, it was in the Washington Post. She
was Kagan. Kagan is the is the husband of Victoria Neulan.
Why did he say that? Because Victoria Newlan is a
Neocon and she has been in every administration with Trump.
Thrower out all right, too, forty good reason? Yes, I
mean Sandy with John Bolton. I mean Bolton would invade
Canada to get three Russians. I mean, these people just
I don't know, they just hate them. I mean, I'm laugh.
I saw that. It's sad, right they are, it is.
I mean, I don't understand this, this nonsense, but they
I think honestly, when Kris Jeff said we will bury you,
they all got their backs up and said, okay, fine,
well we're going to spread democracy to the world. I mean,
we don't even have democracy. How's that working out? Look,
they've started every war since World War Two. And you
can go on YouTube and or buy a book of
Robert McNamara. He was the neo Kanda tuk us into
Vietnam before he died, you can look at it on YouTube,
and he did an apology. He says, you know, we
made a mistake. We were wrong. Well, fifty eight thousand
Americans died, yeah, four thousand, right, yeah, yeah. And he
said they thought Russia was involved and they worked. He
said it was just a civil war. I mean, this
has been going on since the sixties, all right, And
that guy said, I think I had to do it
with push chefs saying we'll bury you. Yeah, And then
all of a sudden, you know, Russia is the entire
world and I don't know, but you know they've been
waging wars. You take then Obama one to go into Syria.
Why because there was a pipeline that was supposed to
go through Syria from Qatar to cut off the the
fuel sales from Russia. And Assad said no. So all
of a sudden, all Asad's guessing his people all this
other nonsense, and you know he was rejected and going in.
But I believe it's now been declassified that. Uh, you know,
the the banter going into into Iraq. I mean, there
is a good movie you know called greenzell Uner with
Matt Damon about there was no weapons of mass destruction
and all this other kind of stuff. But they had
thought they were going to go into Iraq take it
out in less than thirty days. And the generals were
basically saying they will move into Tehran to right listen,
I mean this is I mean, I argue with Bill
Crystal years ago. They they are you know, he basically
the theory was takeout Saddam, Asad and Kadafi, remove all
the dictators, and we'll bring peace to Mint, to the
Middle East. I said, I don't you know, this is nonsense.
You know, they don't understand. I mean, Sodom Hussein was
not a religious fanatic. If he kept a lot of
the religious fanatics in check. What you removed him, what
did you get? You get? You know, all kind of
sectary and crazy stuff. Isis you know, beheading people whatever, sir.
You know, he at least kept them in check. And
he was also the one that kept Iran in check.
Iran as a SHII and they believe that, like the
church should run this state. And that's why they were
against Saudi Arabia because they had a kick. And so
it's more very you know, you're talking about religious things
there in Islam. It's kind of like you know, the
Catholics and the Protestants in England, you know, I mean,
these things are religiously deep and you're not going to
solve them by changing the leader. Right, That's just just
the way it is, right. It's tribal. Yeah, it's what
else you're going to say? Then you can't change the
culture of people. Uh. I mean this has been the
problem with allowing a lot of the Muslims into Europe. Yeah.
When the first New Year's Eve, you know, over a
thousand girls were raped. Uh and you know Germany said
told the police don't put the word rape in there,
and use something else. And that was you know, that
was Merkel. So you know, all these things are just
you know, they cover up their mistakes back and forth.
And unfortunately, these new econs have they have really seized
control of foreign policy and they're they're in control of
the United States foreign policy. I mean, NATO is the
same thing, and you just have these oh well, you know,
and ahead of NATO came out and said, oh well,
if we give a long range missiles to Ukraine to
to basically you know, attack even Moscow, oh they it
will not lead to an escalation of war. I mean,
come on, let's get real here. I mean, if China
invaded California and they were in five hundred miles into
California and then they started shooting missiles at Washington, would
we do nothing? I mean, put the put you know,
the shoe on the other foot. Come on, they know
what they're doing. They are poking, you know, the bear.
My concern is that Putin is not the war monker.
He knows he's being baited, all right. So the the
real problem here is Russia has their new cons the
same as we do. They're the guys behind you know, Putin.
I'm concerned that you know, you had Ukraine invade Russia,
all right, so he's been sitting on his hands. I
don't you know, if he doesn't do something, the new
coons behind him, they're gonna overthrow Putin And then what
do you got. You've got their new cons against ours,
and you know you better duck and hide underneath your
desk again. You know.
Speaker 3: It's I thought he endorsed the Camila Harris. Do you
think that was of course head fake?
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I mean, uh, he knows the only
shot of stopping World War three is basically is Trump,
who would go in there and fire all the new coons.
But and that's why I think they tried to assassinate him.
I mean, even this last assassination. Just pick up the
rug a little bit, and look, you have a guy
who comes all the way down the field, you know,
to to Florida, magically gets a gun down here somehow
and knows where Trump's going to be playing golf. Yeah,
how did that happen? How did that happen? Well, what's
interesting is Desantus is not coming out saying it bluntly,
other than he says, we're going to conduct our own
investigation alongside of the FBI. Why because you don't trust
the FBI. That's really what he's saying. He doesn't trust
the Justice Department. The rumors that are flying around is
that you know, Trump's whereabouts have been leaked. I mean, look,
I mean, anything's on the table at this stage in
the game. It's it's just completely nuts. And that's what
this is going on these people. This is a power play. Yeah,
so let's let's go to the economy. What is going
to be with the economy?
Speaker 3: You know, with what we're seeing now for twenty four
and twenty five, what's going to be with gold, with
the stock market? Are we heading for a major depression?
And perhaps most importantly, what is going to happen with
the dollar?
Speaker 1: Well, you have to understand all this stuff about the dollarization.
This is also geopolitical. It's got nothing to do with
gold or anything else. What this is about is that
when they put sanctions on Russia, removing them from Swift,
that sent a warning sign to everybody else. Then you had,
you know, Blinken threatening China. You give Russia arms, We'll
do that to you. So they set up their own
chip system. That's what the bricks is all about. All right,
Why are they going to gold because gold is neutral.
Don't look at this as the Oh you know, they're investors.
That's not the issue here. They don't care if gold's
going to go down. The problem is you go into war.
China has ten percent of the US national debt. They
dumped fifty three billion in the first quarter. All right,
they're not going to be buyers. They're trying to get
rid of stuff, all right. Why because you go into war,
do you think the US is going to honor that debt?
They'll default them on any enemy first not. So this
is why the bricks are going to gold, because they
it's not just the doward, it's also the euro all right.
They cannot really consciously own debt of the United States
or you're in when you're facing war, they're just not
going to be paid. Yeah knows that. Oh, it's not
a question. Oh, g gold's going to go to five
thousand or you know, that's not they're not investors, all right,
They're just trying to basically de invest from US and
European debt. That's what the bricks is all about. They
set up their own clearing system chips. I mean, this
is what's going on all right, And and then that
is again is these neocons. They don't care about the economy,
they will care about the people. This is all just
their agenda to conquer you know, Russia. And you can look,
I mean before you know, oh, this was all about
democracy or defending democracy in Ukraine. And then all of
a sudden, you know, Lindsey Graham actually said the truth
on face the nation. He said, oh, there is is
tended the twelve trillion dollars of natural resources in Ukraine
basically under CRIMEA. It's a gas field. We can't allow
Russia and China to have that. What happened to democracy?
You know, in democracy you got Zelenski suspending all elections.
That's not democracy, all right. My concern here is and
when we look at everything, the computer showed that from
May we were looking at we're heading into a recession
into twenty twenty eight. But this is going to be
more like the seventies and where we're looking at stagflation,
all right, meaning that the COVID had a very serious impact,
had created shortages. That's what set the inflation in motion, right,
all right. It's not the printing of the dollars or whatever.
I mean. Look, the national debt went up for nineteen
years and gold went down from nineteen eighty into nineteen
ninety nine for nineteen years. So obviously it gold's not
tracking inflation or the debt or anything of that nature.
If you go back to nineteen eighty you'll see gold
went from one hundred and seventy six to four hundred
nineteen seventy nine. It went from four hundred to eight
seventy five in the last six weeks. Why that's when
Russia invaded Afghanistan. So it's geopolitical. It's confidence in the
government that is the key. So as you see this
drum beating of wars, this is what is really May
gold go up, all right, the smart money knows what's
happening here, and then you're threatening China and that then
they start dumping you know, European debt and American debt
and swapping to gold because it's at least neutral. Yeah,
all right, they can't get defaulted on it, you know,
And that's that's it. Now what we have to worry
about and what I don't like with you know what
the computer is showing, and it's showing highs potentially in
gold and the stock market here in twenty four Why
typically you go into war, and that's what my concern is,
what do they do? They shut down all the stock
markets in nineteen fourteen, even the US did. They're worried
about capital flight. Oh gee, if there's war and people
going to sell their stocks and take them money elsewhere,
all right, so that's your all your closed at stock exchanges.
Then the US followed suit. So even if we go
back to the American Civil War, all right, gold in
terms of greenbacks ran up to about two hundred and
eighteen sixty four, and what did Lincoln do. Lincoln shut
down the gold exchange. And the excuse was, oh, these
people are making money off of you know, people dying
on the battlefield. It was rising because of war, all right.
So my concern is is that when it comes to
precious metals this wy I've been saying, you know, I
would use the coins rather than bullion and bars or whatever,
and I'd rather have you actual possession of it. Nineteen
thirty three, when they confiscated gold, what did they do?
All the institutions, they know, the banks, et cetera. All right,
you have to turn over all the gold you have
they did otherwise, you know, they're being prosecuted and losing
their license. So they know all the gold storages and
they know all this stuff, all right, they would have
to comply. They did not come knocking on every door.
Give me, you know all the twenty dollar gold pieces
you got in your sock joor you know. So that
that's why so many twenty US gold coins have survived.
That's what the people had. Okay, So I would say,
we're getting into a desperate situation. Uh huh. And just
you know, be mindful what these people will do, you know,
particularly Europeans. You know this. They keep threatening, you know,
using long range missiles to destroy Moscow and stuff. Look,
I mean I was just over in Europe, met with
you know, uh, talked to about three different governments. They're
all so pro war, it's crazy. Italy. I just said, well,
I'm very glad I came over because it's probably the
last time I'm going to see the coliseum. You know.
It is all Why you say that, I said, because
at least Hitler was respectful. He was He didn't bomb
Powis because he thought it was a pretty city. You know,
he didn't blow up the coliseum. He didn't blow up them.
But this time we're talking about news. Yeah, you know,
you can't be selected. You know, you can't bomb the
capital in Rome without taking out, you know, the coliseum.
This time the bombs are different, so you know, you
you have to understand that. And so this wars is
a bit different than what we had before war and
uh and with the carpet bombing and stuff like that.
Back then, I mean, we were after factories. You could
just take out the factory, you know, but you know
that's not the option these days. So we just have
to be mindful here and and that I don't you know.
I mean in Washington, you saying, oh, Putin will never
push the button, don't worry about that. Very nice, okay.
Uh He also said that Russia was involved in Vietnam
and that wasn't true either. What about the weapons and
mass destruction? It didn't exist, you know. I mean, these
people haven't gotten anything right yet. I mean, let's be
honest here. Uh so saying, oh, don't worry about nuclear
war because he's not going to push the button. His
dukes are all old anyhow, very nice. Yeah, you have
the Yeah, the he's got five thousand of them, even
if ten worked, I think we're in trouble, right, you know.
And in Britain you've got the former British guy there,
he's saying the same nonsense. Oh, Russia wouldn't use a
nuke because they know it would blow back on them.
You know. They just seem to be excuses to please
let us go in. And they think that they can
just invade Russia, go right to Moscow. Putin's gonna fall
to his knees and say, oh, please forgive me, spare
me my life, you know. And that's what they're using
Ukraine for. You know, they couldn't get Putin to respond.
He knows that if he attacks, it's full on. He's
not the warmonger he's been even telling Iran to sit
on his hands, don't take debate. But my concern is
that they have their new ylkons like we do. And
this is true. They throw poodin and we got trouble,
So we got real trouble.
Speaker 3: So it's gold, the silver. What about silver? Silver has
kind of been struggling at thirty. Is that gonna set
a new high at some point here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Again, I would look at the you know, the
the silver coins nineteen sixty four and older, you know,
in bags of those. That's what I would look at.
My concern is that you get into war, they will
shut down the gold exchange, they will shut down the
stock markets. We're looking at capital controls. What they will
be afraid of is like in World War One. Oh,
if we let them sell, then they'll move their money
someplace else. Rus straight Orn't you have a lot of
Chinese are in the markets they you know, so then
the excuse is, oh, we have to close it prevent
to prevent them from taking money back. You know. Of
course you know this is this is the nonsense that
you'll get. So that's my concern. That's why I say
with I think, you know, gold and silver coins will
probably be the the underground economy monetary system, so to speak.
I wouldn't countle bitcoin or anything like that either. You'll
shut it down. Huh. Well, you know all that is traceable.
That's the whole problem. You know. Look, those of us
that are in the computing world, we know that the
code that is behind bitcoin came from the c I A. Yeah,
they even though the guy that even wrote it back there. Uh,
that code has been around for quite some time. That's
why a lot of us believe that bitcoin was was
orchestrated by the CIA, because look, it's it's the perfect
thing the government wants. They even did a white paper
rditt back and I think ninety six it was I remember,
and look, if I give you one hundred dollar bill,
they don't know where I got it. Frum Well, I
give you one hundred and bitcoin, they know where it
came from. And everybody gave them the line, this is
what you know. I've been dealing with governments rising omas
fifty years and there are no mirrors in government. We
are the problem. They never look at themselves. So all right,
well we've been going at this. I think I'm going
to break it into two parts. Make sure you go
over to Armstrong Economics dot com sign up get the

taking time out of your big day and informing us
about what the real deal is. Hopefully this video will
be unfettered on our digital overlord site. If you know
what I mean, The initials are YT. Anytime I cut
something out of a video for you out there, it's
because I know that they're going to set their sights.
Would you believe Martin?
Speaker 3: They just removed some commentary I did in twenty eighteen.
They just discovered that it advocated the you know, unspeakable
acts that I don't even know what I advocated. So
that's what we're up against. You know, we didn't talk
about the tech oligarchs and what they're about. But next time,
I want to spend some time with you on it.
Because I've had to preemptively censor, self censor, and that's
because I don't want to lose my channel.
Speaker 1: You know, No, I know this is we're fighting for
democracy supposedly, Yeah, free speed, Yeah right, it's wrong downright
or William? Yeah, no it is. It's just gotten be
very very bad. So we'll go for it. We'll see
what happens.
Speaker 3: I wish there was a tunel I could run the
video through to figure out whether they would object to
it upfront and what they'd object to. But I'll look
through it. I'll do a little I'll do as little
editing as possible. That's what I always do, especially with
your interviews. Appreciate you, Martin, thanks so much for coming on, Thank.
