Everything has become so volatile that the big 9 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.039 swing is happening all the time, so getting it over 10 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.000 a period of time is a wise way to accumulate 11 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.840 this at Wise Wolf and he has wolf Pack that 12 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.039 you can sign up and set up a particular savings 13 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.280 program to extend, you know, just budget a certain amount 14 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.280 that you want to set aside in gold each month. 15 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.880 That's a great way to accumulate. Thank you Tony for 16 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:47.679 joining us today. 17 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.000 Well, it's great to be back. David. 18 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.320 Good to see I'm wearing shoes that fit, by the way, 19 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.280 I've got that by buy my own shoes. I've got 20 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.280 some actual some moccasins. They're nice and comfortable. I don't 21 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.520 have to impress anybody except for my dog Beans. 22 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.159 Got them golden slippers and golden them golden slippers. Well, 23 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.840 a lot of people are looking at this chaos, and 24 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.799 right away we had gold shoot way up over the weekend. 25 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.959 You know, on Monday, it was way up, and then 26 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.400 the American markets open, as Gerald Slinty said, goes down. 27 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.680 Same thing happened with oil. Oil was way up because 28 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.480 people are reacting to the reality of it. And then 29 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.879 apparently there's some manipulation that's happening in the American market somehow, 30 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.280 the plant Protection team or whatever, this spike protection team, 31 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.599 I guess, trying to make sure that gold and oil 32 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.359 don't spike. Nevertheless, the reality is there. It's the same 33 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.719 type of thing that people we've been talking about for 34 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.280 a long time. We look at what the federal government 35 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.599 is doing with debt and deficit, and when you look 36 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.760 at the inflation and the money creation, all the rest 37 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.599 of the stuff, those are real factors that are going 38 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.000 to have an effect. They can manipulate it in the 39 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.840 short term, they can try to play games with it, 40 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.680 but it's going to win out in the end. And 41 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.519 so I went back and looked at I thought, you know, 42 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.319 there's so many parallels between nineteen seventy three and the 43 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.439 OPEC coal embargo, and I was kind of curious as 44 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.319 to how gold had taken off, and it took a 45 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.199 while before it started taking off because everybody was focused 46 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.759 on oil, and we see that happening again this time. 47 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.280 It was the average price in nineteen seventy three, even 48 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.560 with the Opek goal embargo, was ninety seven dollars. But 49 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.680 then by the time we got to nineteen seventy nine, 50 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.280 it went from two twenty five to five sixty something 51 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.879 that year, and then by the beginning of nineteen eighty 52 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.719 it jumped up to eight hundred and then went back 53 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.520 down to like the five five sixty level after that. 54 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.680 But that's kind of the pattern that we're looking at 55 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.400 an eight and a half time. You know, the peak 56 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.680 was eight and a half times larger than where it 57 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.000 was even after the embargo had started. 58 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.039 And so I'm looking at this. 59 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.319 And thinking, well, if history rhymes, you know, we could 60 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.159 be looking at something that's like eight to nine times 61 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.199 higher and in a couple of years as this stuff 62 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.520 is perclaying through because old was reacting not just to 63 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.680 the immediate oil spike, but it was reacting to the 64 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.919 fact that it had to percolate through the system. And 65 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.520 we're going to see the effects of the oil price 66 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.400 increase percolate through the system, and the inflation and the 67 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.719 stagflation that was happening with all that was percolating through, 68 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.400 and so it may take a while. But we're seeing 69 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.960 articles here on KIKO when guy say, well, you know, 70 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.560 six thousand dollars, another guy says ten thousand dollars, But 71 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.400 if it went up anywhere close to what it did 72 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.360 in nineteen seventy three, from nineteen seventy three to nineteen eighty, 73 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.080 it'd be up to forty thousand dollars. Forty five thousand 74 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.879 dollars is crazy, And. 75 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.159 Of course to do that out those similarities between those timelines, 76 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.599 and you're also right to point out there's some sort 77 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.400 of plunge protection team here in the US when the 78 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.800 financial sector trying to suppress these prices that are running 79 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.360 away from us, the price of gold and the price 80 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.240 of crude oil. As a matter of fact, I was 81 00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.960 spending some time with a friend of mine I'm known 82 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.000 for over thirty years who's now a high up executive 83 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.479 and an oil drilling company. 84 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.719 He travels all over the world. 85 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.560 This is a very smart guy, and we were watching 86 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.280 in real time the foreign markets as they opened up 87 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.600 on Sunday what the prices accrued were. And he just 88 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.519 looked at me and said, I've been doing this for 89 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.279 twenty five years. I've never seen anything like this. Has 90 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.920 never happened. This percentage and jump and the price accrued 91 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.759 that fast has never happened. And he said, it may 92 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.279 just start running away where they can't stop it, where 93 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.759 it's going to get to two hundred dollars a barrel. 94 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.600 He said, that's a real possibility. So given that in 95 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.600 his knowledge on that, I looked at the markets as 96 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.120 they opened up. 97 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.000 You're exactly right. 98 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.839 But the difference is, David, if you go back to 99 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.199 the seventies, in nineteen seventy three was the last year 100 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.399 that the United States ran a trade surplus. We never 101 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.720 ran a trade surplus again. After that, it was trade 102 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.199 deficits and to the trillions, and that's a massive transfer 103 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.519 of wealth that went to places like China. But at 104 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.639 the end of the seventies, you're right, gold was near 105 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.600 six hundred dollars an ounce and then hit eight hundred 106 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.160 dollars an ounce in nineteen eighty. But you had the 107 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.160 ability for the United States and the financial sector to 108 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.800 suppress that, and they did. They did, They had they 109 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.439 raised interest rates to the teens. There was a lot 110 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.680 of financial maneuvering to take focus away from the loss 111 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.800 of purchasing power of the dollar, and they used that 112 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.879 system for a lot and it worked for a long time. 113 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.199 They can't do that anymore. The dead of the. 114 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.879 US in nineteen eighty was one trillion, and it took 115 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.040 us from the beginning of our history in seventeen seventy 116 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.800 six to nineteen seventy nine eighty to get there. Now 117 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.920 we do a trillion every ninety days or so, and 118 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.839 you and I have covered that. So I don't think 119 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:49.480 they have the ability to suppress that runaway gold price 120 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.120 anymore like they did in nineteen eighty. And you're right 121 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.079 the predictions of six thousand and ten thousand dollars gold, 122 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.199 I don't think that's off the mark at all given 123 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.680 our current economic climate. Last week we talked about and 124 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.040 again I looked all over to try to see if 125 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.560 any major network covered this, but you and I talked 126 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.519 about it. The dollar got surpassed by gold as the 127 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.120 world's reserve asset. Yes, right, and we've talked about that 128 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.439 for years. It was always number one was the dollar. 129 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.279 But because of the massive accumulation by central banks of 130 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:28.600 physical gold and then the repricing going into five thousand plus. 131 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.759 That creates a holding that gold is higher than the 132 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.040 dollar in the reserve holdings of the central banks. So 133 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.240 we've crossed a lot of boundaries with the de dollarization 134 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.759 and the world you know, monetary system. So there's no 135 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.319 way they can suppress what's truly happening, which is de 136 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:48.839 dollarization across the board. 137 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:49.639 That's right. 138 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.959 As a matter of fact, this article that's talking about 139 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.920 six thousand dollars gold said, well, you don't have to 140 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.800 beat the US militarily. All you have to do is 141 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:02.480 beat the bond market. Heavy reliance on US dollars by 142 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:07.800 foreign nations that are concurrently dependent on imported energy, and 143 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.040 when all oil price spikes and the dollar strengthens, foreign 144 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:17.079 entities are forced into a difficult position. He points out 145 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.279 that they have to have energy, they have to have food, 146 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.800 they have to have these commodities, and so they will 147 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.600 sell their dollar assets, starting with treasuries because they're the 148 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.600 deepest and the most liquid, to essentially buy oil. The 149 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.160 dynamic creates a cycle where foreign nations effectively use the 150 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.439 US pond market to finance their energy deficits, driving eels higher, 151 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.240 and so that's what it starts to become a cycle 152 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.360 feedback cycle with that as well, and so it's going 153 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.920 to put pressure on them to basically more pressure on 154 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.959 them to dump their treasure bills, which there we don't 155 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.680 like because of the actions of both Biden with his 156 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.079 sanctions and Trump continuing the sanctions and adding tariffs and 157 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:03.959 other things like that. So people are already trying to 158 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:09.920 move away because we are the mad Hedgemon. Sounds like 159 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.199 some kind of a Pokemon thing, a mad Edgemond that's 160 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.519 out there, and so everybody's trying to pull back away 161 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.399 from this anyway, but they'll have to do it out 162 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.519 of necessity. So time is really on Iran's side, and 163 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.600 they've thought about this from a strategic standpoint, which obviously 164 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.560 the Planners and the Pentagon never thought about anything other 165 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.600 than we have the most planes and the most bombs, 166 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.399 and we can you know the kind of stuff that 167 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.840 you hear Pete Hes boasting about all the time. 168 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.840 Well, it reminds me a little bit of the von 169 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.799 Schliefen Plan from World War One with the Germans. They 170 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.799 had all this time, the decades to draw this thing up. 171 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.080 They were always looking into the best way to use 172 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.919 troop movements and whatever. They're trying to keep up with technology, 173 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.759 and it was it wasn't even about any sort of 174 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.320 real goals other than just defeating something. But they kept 175 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.120 drawing up this plan and drawing up this plan, and 176 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.000 finally it got into action the von Schleepen planet World 177 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.720 War one, and they thought it was about a quick victory. 178 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.720 And of course you fast forward, you know, four plus years, 179 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.440 and we just had the Great Civil War of the 180 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.840 West and millions died and it's a waste land, just 181 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:23.080 an utter carnage and evil. So you know, these military 182 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.039 types when they they have this. 183 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.000 And it's also the aggressors too, isn't it. It's like 184 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.320 the people who started off, they always want to but 185 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.840 srieg or something. You know, that's exactly right. 186 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.440 The Lightning War, shak and awe remember sha Kanah, I 187 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.360 followed behind Shakanah, didn't shock. It are all very much 188 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.759 in effect, you know, I can attest to that there 189 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.799 was a there was I think a delusion behind uh 190 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.279 this type of thinking, and it's it's demonic in my opinion. 191 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.159 They always have some arrogance, their uburs behind them that 192 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.000 the rest of us are just we don't think this way. 193 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.000 I'm looking at I don't see any upside. I mean, 194 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.960 how can you not convince me that this is just 195 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.320 some sort of humiliation ritual for chaos and uh like 196 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.320 we're being destroyed from within with bad policy. Does anybody 197 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.679 really think that we're going to win this in some way? 198 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.200 And what is winning? When the world markets? You know 199 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.000 how fragile this system is. You look at the price 200 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.639 of cruit. It's going to destroy whatever if you've if 201 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.639 you had any economic growth or any sort of progress, 202 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:32.440 it's being destroyed right now. 203 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:34.799 You're going to take to recover. 204 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.399 War Pete thinks that we're going to win this because 205 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.399 he doesn't think about anything other than destruction and death. 206 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.000 And what a clown he is. 207 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:44.559 I saw just a clown. 208 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:50.879 I saw, you know, a couple of retired colonels and generals, 209 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.159 and Gregor was one of them, and another guy, not 210 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.039 in one interview, but in a couple of different ones, 211 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.519 and they were saying, look at this press briefing that's 212 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.159 being given by war Pete and by Dan Kine, the 213 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.279 chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, And he said, 214 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.039 Dan King gets up there. He starts giving the standard presentation, Well, 215 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.039 we got this many planes that we sunk, this many 216 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.720 ships and all the a lot of the stuff that's 217 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.600 kind of like what warpete does. But he says, I've 218 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.159 set through those briefings, you know, through these different wars 219 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.240 we've had, you know, Vietnam and Iraq and all the 220 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.320 rest of the stuff, and it's meaningless. You know, this 221 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.759 is like Robert McNamara's body count. It really doesn't mean 222 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.279 anything in the bigger picture of things. And they've lost 223 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:34.159 the bigger pictures. 224 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:38.279 You point out, well, there's a lot of echoes of 225 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.720 McNamara and Rumsfeld here. 226 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.840 But we've reached a new level of stupid. 227 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.840 We're in a new and I'm sorry it is terrifying. 228 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.360 This is this is the Secretary of War. I mean 229 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.159 you renamed it, you own it, and you're right, a 230 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.320 secretary of war crimes. I mean this just to start 231 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:57.759 off the war by killing what is one hundred and 232 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.679 seventy seven members of a girl's that's confirmed of anti 233 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.759 war dot com And that's been confirmed. 234 00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.919 They can deny it all they want, but that's what 235 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.039 they did. That's right, And this. 236 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.440 Is just and more importantly, Tony. They don't have the 237 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.240 decency to apologize for it, and they don't have the 238 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.639 respect for the intelligence of the American people to even 239 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.840 come up with a plausible denial. Right, that's what Trump 240 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.879 was doing. Oh, tomahawks, everybody's got tomahawks. Ron's got tomahawks. 241 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.600 I'm sure Ron did that to their own people. You know, 242 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.399 that kind of stupidity. And you know, oh, well our accurate, 243 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.519 Our missiles are accurate. Well, if you're saying it was 244 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.440 a Tomahawk, then that's an accurate missile. Like I said, 245 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.039 when I was talking about this earlier in the week, 246 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.399 I had a friend who was in the military, and 247 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.200 he said, yeah, we talked about the cruise missiles. We 248 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.759 can pick which window of the Krimlin we want to 249 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.600 put it through. That may have been a little bit 250 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.720 of an exaggeration, but not by much. And so he says, yeah, 251 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.879 everybody's got tomawks. Absolute lie. I mean, they don't even 252 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.639 sell those to Israel. And then he proceeds from there. 253 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.519 That's the same kind of lives we saw in Minnesota. 254 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.720 They have no respect for intelligence and why should they 255 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.200 people voted for them, Well. 256 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.320 It's all based off a lie. 257 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.279 Whether or not they intentionally did it or they just 258 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.840 skipped over the fact that they're doing their due diligence 259 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.559 of what target. 260 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.799 Both are lies, both have. 261 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.279 Ill intent, and every aspect of this I've seen in 262 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.639 real time. I've seen, you know, they're so called smart 263 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:34.519 bombs that hit civilian targets, and it is so awful. 264 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.200 You have to imagine if you're hitting civilian targets and 265 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.039 maybe it's not on purpose, but they are collateral damage, 266 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.080 you are exacting a toll, and you are creating death 267 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.759 and destruction. It should be such a solemn thing that 268 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.279 you have to you're forced to do it. We just 269 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.639 went and did this with no provocation, with no reason, 270 00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.600 and there's no strategic or defense advantage to this. So yeah, 271 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.720 I mean the people that did this in in my opinion, 272 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.080 I mean somebody like Pete. This is just a devoid 273 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.240 of any sort of Christian character or understanding of the 274 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.120 real consequences of war. 275 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.399 And I'm afraid from my. 276 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.440 Country when I see stuff like this is this is 277 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:18.639 complete arrogance. 278 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.360 Well, Senator John Kennedy apologized for it, and he's the 279 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.799 only one Democratic Republican who's apologized for it. Now, some people. 280 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.919 Some Democrats applauded him for apologizing for it. So we 281 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.039 got it wrong. We didn't mean to do that. But 282 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.559 that was not the response of Trump, not the response 283 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.039 of Warpete. Warpete says, you know, uses it as an 284 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.039 occasion to boast about the fact we don't target civilians 285 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.559 and our missiles are accurate and so forth. So you know, 286 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.399 that's his response. Couldn't possibly happen. That's Scott Ritter, when 287 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.919 he was talking about it, said, you know, he is 288 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.519 still haunted by one particular case like this that he 289 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.120 was involved in. He said, we did our due diligence. 290 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.480 We had really good reason to believe that that was 291 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.679 where some of Saddam Whu Saints people were. But he 292 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.840 said it turned out we were wrong with all the 293 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.200 due diligence. He said, I live with that every day. 294 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.320 I think about the consequence of that. But he said, 295 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.039 what's happening with this. They've got so many targets. It's 296 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.720 kind of like what they did in Minnesota. They said, 297 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.679 we want X number of arrests every day, Just go 298 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.039 out there and grab people. And he said, that's that 299 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.360 leads to sloppy work. And yet you know it might 300 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.879 be something might involve this anthropic clauds AI because they 301 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.080 were using that in terms of targeting. And yet when 302 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.320 you look at that, what Pete Hegseth wants to do 303 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.480 is give even more discretion to AI if AI made 304 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.120 the mistake, or if it was old data that they had, 305 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.320 or whatever it was. He wants to He's already shut 306 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.240 down a lot of the oversight and he wants to 307 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.799 shut down even more oversight of this. And he has 308 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.159 the audacity to say, we don't target civilians. Yeah, they 309 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.559 just kill everybody. Right, it's crazy. 310 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.480 I will tell that to the people in Dresden and 311 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.200 the fire bombing of Tokyo. 312 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.639 That's right, you know me Li we had, we had. 313 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.000 You could go on and on if you know history, 314 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.480 and that happens. 315 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.720 That's all countries. 316 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.720 This happens to in any sort of military power that's 317 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.639 fighting a war, there's always some sort of darkness by 318 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.559 nobody gets out of that one scathe. 319 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.879 But to fight this war you have to. 320 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.919 I have not seen a plausible explanation other than this 321 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.440 is Operation Epstein Fury, that we're acting on behalf of 322 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.720 a foreign government during their bidding. 323 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.240 It's all. 324 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.919 That's all I see, Yeah, some sorts of this is 325 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.039 not in the American interests. 326 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.399 It's despicable and it goes against everything he promises his 327 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.919 own voters. I don't understand why there hasn't been a 328 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.200 bigger price, but there may be a bigger price to 329 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.200 pay by the time they get to the election. 330 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.000 I don't know. 331 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.759 But so that was one person saying, you know, six 332 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.000 thousand by mid year in terms of gold, based on 333 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.799 what he's looking at. You've got another analyst saying he 334 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.720 thinks ten thousand by twenty twenty nine. And he said, 335 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.320 you know, everybody talking about ten thousand dollars gold just 336 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.960 a year or two ago. But I thought you were crazy. 337 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.200 Now it doesn't look see doesn't, because it spiked up 338 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.640 to what fifty three hundred? Was that about fifty three 339 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.400 hundreds were it? God? 340 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.319 Yeah, over the first at the weekend of the strike 341 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.119 on the twenty eighth, going into the first part of March, 342 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.759 it was fifty three hundred. And then there's some profit 343 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.559 taking and some self But we've crossed so many boundaries here, David, 344 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.799 it's hard. We're not going to go back to the 345 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.319 way that gold pricing used to be. And there's a 346 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.799 few different times when twenty and eleven is another great 347 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.240 example of when they were able to suppress gold again 348 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.519 by outwardly showing that there's going to be fiscal responsibility 349 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.319 and that the Fed's not going to do massive quantitative 350 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.400 easing and tarp and all the rest of that stuff 351 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.880 and bail out these banks anymore, and people calm down. 352 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.440 Silver sold off, gold sold off. I don't think that'll 353 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.759 happen again. I don't think that they can truly suppress 354 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:01.359 either crude anymore or the the gold markets. 355 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.640 I don't think they can suppress. And so ten thousand 356 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:08.319 dollars gold very plausible within this decade, and all we 357 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.279 would need is just to continue down the path that 358 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.480 we're on right now. I mean, gold was I remember 359 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.240 I went to the trading floor in August of twenty 360 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.079 twenty four and I was leaving and I did a 361 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.279 post about it, and I thought, this is really historic. 362 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.920 There's twenty five hundred dollars gold. 363 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:29.759 That's so crazy because I've followed this for so many years, 364 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.880 and I was like, twenty five hundred, what a milestone. 365 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.279 Well here we are, and it's twenty twenty six, not 366 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.279 quite two years later at all, and we're looking at 367 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.960 talking about ten thousand dollars gold at the end of 368 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.119 the decade. I think completely plausible because in six thousand, 369 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.759 definitely within striking distance. 370 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.839 Just let this keep going. Yeah, you got to well. 371 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.480 That's the thing. It will they have war game this out. 372 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.759 We didn't plan this, but they did. They planned the 373 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.000 response absolutely. 374 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.480 All they have to do, like IRN right now, and 375 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.400 think about the oil exporting countries and those who rely 376 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.920 they're going to get a windfall profit from this. Of 377 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:08.759 course there's going to be massive downturns in other parts 378 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.480 of the economy, but think of the amount of margin 379 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:13.880 that these countries are going to be able to bring 380 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.079 in just the price of crude alone, and the fact 381 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:20.000 that the straight of Horror Moves is blocked ninety percent, 382 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.160 and that's where what twenty percent of the outflows used 383 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:28.279 to come from globally, so that all bets are off. 384 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.200 And it's twenty five percent of all shipping that goes 385 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.279 through the straight of Horror moves because there's a lot 386 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.839 of other stuff that besides oil that goes through their food, 387 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.839 clothes and electronics and all the rest of the stuff. 388 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:43.440 And so it is a massive, massive, oversight to have 389 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.640 the arrogance to think that we're going to take them 390 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:47.960 out so quickly. We don't even have to worry about that, 391 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.920 we don't have to plan about that. Hatchcar sixty one said, 392 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.200 please send to thank you to Tony and his crew. 393 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:59.279 Receive my wolf pack package today. Stacking made easy.

They said their gold flows have 396 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.839 been crushed because it's not just as trait of removes. 397 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.440 These are flights. You know, they're putting the they're not 398 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.359 putting the gold on a tanker, it's not that heavy, 399 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:19.039 but they're putting on airplanes, and so many problems with 400 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.880 air flights being restricted as well. 401 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.200
