#506 While You're Distracted by Headlines, Central Banks Are Hoarding Gold

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Thank you.
I seriously have no idea theamount of technical difficulties
I've had, like the last threeweeks with between texas and
missouri and road casters, andI'm on my laptop right now in my
home studio in branson,missouri, where I have all the

(00:57):
sophisticated equipment and Ihad to plug in the laptop.
Folks, it is, uh, it's.
I've gone into disrepair forthe Arterburn radio transmission
my fault.
I've been traveling, I've hadconferences to go to, beans the
Brave and myself have been allover this planet themes and I'm
just going to have to take sometime to redo everything.

(01:21):
And I was kind of looking atthe landscape today and I don't
even know if I'm on.
I'm supposed to be streamingout on my Twitter and I can't
see that that's going on.
It's so funny.
I just I'm being tested.
I love it, I'm embracing it,I'm going to give it a big kiss
on the mouth.
It's fine, I'm not going tolose my patience.

(01:41):
I'm good.
I thought about hey, how do Iwant to open up the show?
You know something profound.
Do you want to do a poem, tony,that you haven't been on in a
month?
Do you want to do something?
You know you want to leavepeople with something to think
about.
No, just my technicaldifficulties, but I did want to

(02:03):
do something a little different.
I regret not having the all thebees.
Remember the bees?
It was so much fun.
The build back better.
Uh, biden, beelzebub, baphomet,bilderberg, bohemian grove,
bankster bunch.
And then melissa told me she'slike you know, you just replace
biden with the big beautifulbill, because Biden's irrelevant

(02:24):
, and maybe he always was.
Maybe he always was irrelevant.
But you know, maybe the bigbeautiful bill, we'll put that
up there.
Uh, in all the bees, maybe I'llstart off the show next time.
I've just got to that's a lotof repetition.
You know that, uh, you got toremove one of the words and then
get three new ones.
I think we can do that Speakingof, and then get three new ones
.
I think we can do that Speakingof.

(02:44):
Hey, how's the headlines going?
I mean, are you enjoying yourpsyop?
Is it sinking down into yoursubconscious?
Are you afraid?
Yet that would be the end goalof the overlords trying to
project that into your mind.
You know, if you don't knowhistory, if you don't know

(03:06):
previous political cycles, ifyou're just like, um, what's
that movie?
The memento, where he has totattoo all the things?
Uh, because he has to remindhimself.
What was that guy, sammyjenkins?
He had to write down all thethings that happened the day
before, because he has noshort-term memory or long-term
memory.
He has nothing and, um, hewakes up and he has to remember

(03:31):
and so he uses the tattoos.
I, I remember things and um, notthat I'm not that I'm some sort
of, uh like, genius or a savant.
I'm far from that.
Uh, I'm a paratrooper who likesbooks, but I remember previous
historical cycles.
So a lot of the stuff that I'mseeing now it's just a repeat of

(03:51):
previous things that happened.
And you have to remember whatthe Hegelian dialectic is.
You have to remember whatproblem-reaction-solution is,
folks, and you look at stufflike the riots and other things,
folks, and you look at stufflike the riots and other things
and we've seen this before, ifyou recall, and 2020 was a good
example.
1992 is another good examplekind of stirring the pot,

(04:15):
post-cold war, about to deliveryou to, or deliver bill clinton
to you via, you know, ross perotand all that happened in 92,
the LA riots and all this stuffthat's happening and some of
it's organic, but a greatportion of it is not and these
are things that are happening.

(04:38):
I listened to a podcast todaythat made me think I didn't
agree with it per se, but itmade me think.
That I made me think I didn'tagree with it per se, but I made
me think, and it was carrieluntz and he.
It's a good little podcastabout finance and, um, smart
guys, a former attorney has goodguests on, but he talked about
ai and the use of ai in thislast election by the trump team

(04:58):
and how they anticipateddifferent threats, already had
things pre preset for responseson whether it's lawfare or or
the election process itself, andit does make a lot of sense
that ai was used and, um,there's been a lot of offset of
the, the continuity of the deepstate which I've seen, you know,

(05:23):
and I think a lot of theresponse is coming now.
It's kind of been slow to move,but, uh, 2020 was a, you know,
a complete op and then by may ofthat year, if you guys remember
, it's the summer of love andeverything's burning down.
It's, you know, fiery butpeaceful protests.
Remember that.
Uh, remember the pallets ofbricks and nobody asked, uh, who

(05:45):
put them there or who's fundingthis.
See, that's what I always ask.
So we're looking at this.
You know what's going on in laand what's going on elsewhere,
and I do pay attention to that,but I'm more interested in what
else is going on, because whatelse is going on is the reality

(06:06):
and that's more, I think, moreimportant, which is the big
macro picture.
Macro, ladies and gents,worldwide geopolitics this is
what you're needing to look atbecause that's what's going to
affect you a year from now, fiveyears from now.
Um, these other things willwane and they'll go away.
And we always need to bevigilant when it comes to

(06:32):
government overreach or tyrannyor the use of the military
against civilians and all that.
I mean we've gone through this.
I remember the Obamaadministration when Rand Paul
did a filibuster asking whetheror not the Pentagon and the
Department of Defense coulddrone, could use a killer robot
to murder an American citizenwithout a trial, and never got

(06:55):
an answer.
Yeah, we're already there.
I mean, this stuff has beenasked and it's going to continue
to be a challenge for all of us.
But look at the macro pictures.
Matter of fact, if you look atthe headline of drudge and we'll
go there, hold on, you know.
So I'm on my laptop.
This wonderful, I have this.
I have this massive setup inhere and all I have is my

(07:17):
computer plugged in.
That's so much fun.
But if you look at the headlineof Drudge and I'll share my
screen I want to show yousomething that they're showing
you.
This is, I think, apropos forwhere we are.
Here's the headlines.
It has all the right gear andeverything that's happening in

(07:40):
LA and kind of setting you upfor the next phase of division.
But you keep going down.
Of course you look at theairlines scary things, you know,
airline crashes and stuff.
But here you go right to theright.
It's got the all-seeing eye.
Bilderberg Group.

(08:01):
It meets in Sweden amidUS-Europe tensions.
Well, there you go, folks.
That's what else is going on.
That's what's always going on.
You have the Bilderberg Groupmeeting set up in 1954.
Very secretive.
All your favorite people go.
You're not allowed to seetranscripts of that.

(08:23):
They have the Chatham Houserules is uh, everything kind of
stays within, you know, withinthe bilderberg group or or
bohemian group, that same thing.
Right, they have the same.
It's a big club and you ain'tin it.
And I was looking up earlier,just just a little history of
the bilderberg group.
I found a couple of articlesthat, first of all it.
It harkens back to 1954, andthey wanted to post-World War II

(08:48):
.
And this is after the dustsettled, after Operation
Paperclip, the hunt for all thebest nazis, not to punish them
but to bring them to work for us.
You know, to build our rocketsand our uh bio labs and you know

(09:10):
to infiltrate and, you know,use them for the intelligence
that they had.
All the men the nazis had thismassive network of scientists
and, uh top of the line stuff,like bernard von braun, you know
he.
He eventually got his own likedisney program.
You know that, like that's thev2 rockets.
Uh, it's so funny when youreverse engineer war and you're

(09:32):
supposed to this is the good war.
You know, this is what you'resupposed to have.
You know, world war ii was 50million dead and a cataclysm and
europe in ashes.
Japan smashed, you know.
Again, 50 million peopleperished and the reason we went
to war was to because Hitlerinvaded Poland and at the end of
the war, after all that, wegave Poland to Stalin.

(09:54):
So you know, if you knowhistory, reality looks a lot
different.
But this is 1954.
You get the Bilderberg Group,which is what's happening now.
So all this stuff is stillgoing on New world order carving
up the world.
You get the Bilderberg Group,which is what's happening now.
So all this stuff is stillgoing on.
New world order carving up theworld, new monetary great reset,
all that's happening.
But you only have so muchbandwidth so you cannot yet pay

(10:17):
attention to the politics.
Hey, what are the Democratsdoing?
What are the Republicans doing?
What's going on with this orthat?
It is important, but try to payattention less to it, because
it's just going to do its thing.
But what's the macro picture?
That's what's world changingright now, and they're deciding
a lot of things that you don'tget to be a part of.

(10:38):
A lot of times democracy istouted.
It's a it's, uh, it's, it's avirtue.
Right, karl marx loveddemocracy, um, and you hear that
all the time.
It's, it's like a god to beworshiped and they put it out
there, but it doesn't reallyever get practiced.
Not really, I mean, because thesuper they tout democracy but

(11:03):
then they go behind closed doorsand decide the fate of mankind.
During World War II, the Nazieffort to unite all of Europe
and ultimately the rest of theworld through war failed
miserably.
When the war ended, those thatbelieved the dream decided,
another approach would benecessary.
Instead of war, a united Europe, dominated by Germany, would be

(11:24):
achieved through internationaltreaties and diplomacy.
In 1957, the European EconomicCommunity was established, and
it began with just six countriesBelgium, france, italy,
luxembourg, the Netherlands andWest Germany.
Since that time, it hasexpanded to 28 nations and
become known as the EuropeanUnion.
More about the European Unionin a minute.
But the idea of a commoncurrency that the European Union

(11:46):
uses today the euro wasconceived and developed by the
Bilderberg Group.
This organization has alwaysbeen at the forefront of
European unity, but most peoplehave no idea where it came from.
It says the truth is, theBilderberg Group first met in
1954, and one of the keyfounders of the group was Prince

(12:10):
Bernard of the Netherlands.
Not only was he a founder,prince Bernard actually served
as the organization's chairmanuntil 1976.
So why is this important.
Most people do not realize this, but Prince Bernard actually
belonged to the Nazi Party.
Okay, so just fun history.
That's Operation Paperclip.

(12:30):
That's what's going on.
Those are the actual headlines,and you know I try to stay
focused on the macro, especiallywith this show, and guys
appreciate all your patience.
I went to the Bitcoin conference.
It's another thing thathappened.
I was out in Virginia.
I was speaking at ahomesteading, a sovereign living

(12:53):
farm.
It's really cool.
People were going to learn howto better grow a garden and
raise chickens and other things,and I spoke about my wheelhouse
, which is gold, silver andBitcoin, and there's just a
growing trend of people, I think, being more and more aware of

(13:16):
just how much change ishappening, and it seems like,
well, every day kind of blendstogether and it seems like it's
the same.
I promise you it's not.
There's a few articles that Iwant to get to today, and then I
want to talk about the othermacro issue.
I think that is the mostimportant.
If you want to talk aboutpolitico headlines and political

(13:38):
headlines, and that's foreignpolicy and war and the threats
of that.
I think that could affecteverything.
It would definitely throw awrench in whatever timeline
we're on right now, so we wantto pay attention to that.
I want to bring up, though, inthe realm of precious metals

(14:02):
economics.
There's some stuff happeningright now.
If you've noticed, silver ishaving its breakout moment and I
gut level believe I've been inthis a long time.
I want to put this article upfrom Kitco.
To put this article up fromkitco.

(14:29):
I, gut level, believe that thisis probably on the uh the
spectrum for where thehistorical shift happens, like
where we start seeing, uh, thetrue price revaluation.
I was talking to travis knighton the david knight show this
morning.
He's got me thinking about that.
I mean, do we we take forgranted we've had this
suppressed silver price for solong?

(14:50):
And there's a whole host ofreasons.
Maybe we answer ourselves, youknow, as far as who's
responsible, like why did wehave, why did it stay like this
for so long?
Um, but a lot of those entitiesaren't able to control it like
they used to, and I think, a lotof analysts.
And this is.
We'll throw this up on thescreen real quick.

(15:11):
Yeah, this is kitco.
Let me go back to the article soI can scroll through it.
Silver will see a mini squeezeevent to address london.
New york imbalance price couldhit 40 this year.
This is td securities.
Golly, that's coming up that,after gold sustained rally to a

(15:32):
succession of all-time highsover the past two years, silver
prices have finally started tobreak out over the last two
weeks and the unresolved marketdistortions between new y and
London could see the gray metalhitting new highs in its own
long term, according to DanielGhaly, senior commodity
strategist with TD Securities.

(15:53):
He says right now the silvermarket is buzzing with
excitement because prices brokethrough $35 an ounce.
That's very difficult to breakthrough over the last several
years.
That's very difficult to breakthrough over the last several
years.
The last time silver pricesbroke through this level, we
traded at $50 an ounce withinsix weeks.
So of course, the excitement isbuilding and what he's

(16:14):
referring to is the 2011 run,where silver hit $50 an ounce
and again it's all time high is1980 at $52 and $50 an ounce,
and again its all-time high is1980 at $52.50 an ounce.
I bring that up because thisbreakout, this metric, where,

(16:36):
when it breaks 35 and themomentum starts to build, I
think what the cascading eventwhich I think was trying to be
avoided was a lot of the papercontracts that have been the
ability for the larger holdersof physical silver to suppress
the price.

(16:56):
I think a lot of it's going tobe set for on-time delivery and
all these other I think it'sgoing to wheels are going to
come off.
This is my opinion and I'm notgiving you investment advice.
This is not an investment show.
This is about history andparapolitics.
This is about intelligence.
Well, this is about I try to beas intelligent as I can, but

(17:18):
it's about intelligence, folks.
And you look at the timeline.
It makes no sense.
When you hit a ratio of 100 to1 for silver that's what it was
a couple of weeks ago, threeweeks ago it's $3,500 an ounce
gold and $35 an ounce silver.

(17:39):
It's 100 to 1.
And no part of history is evenremotely close to that.
It's always been 10 or 20 toone.
The united states had it at 16to one, that's ounces of silver
to make one ounce of gold.
This has stayed skewed for toolong and I think that's going to

(18:01):
start bending back because evengeologically it's 17 to 1.
I mean, it just makes sense.
There's about a 20 to 1 ratiowhich is probably conservative,
okay which takes and revaluatessilver to its actual price and
mining becomes profitable.
There's too much of a deficitthat's been sustained for the

(18:23):
price to continue to be that low.
So just giving you a heads up,I think this is part of you know
.
You look at the BRICS nations inBrazil, russia, india, china,
south Africa.
You look at their race towardsgetting commodities, rare earth,
minerals.
The Chinese with the Belt andRoad Initiative and all of that.
It's a race for commodities andwe live in a we're awash in a

(18:47):
fiat world of fake currency andthey want to trade and get into
and I'm going to talk a littlebit about AI here in a second.
They get into hard assets overtheir fiat currencies and I
think that's going to be thetrend and something to watch

(19:08):
would be silver.
We think it's been a long timecoming, he added, and we think
that the current marketstructure favors these kinds of
mini-squeeze events goingforward.
He says the breakout itself whenwe crossed through that $35 an
ounce level, it was a future-ledbreakout.
He said the contrast, thiscontrast with what you might

(19:29):
expect, given that there werenow five years running into a
structural deficit.
That deficit has erodedphysical inventories and you
would expect such a breakout tobe led by the physical side.
That hasn't been the case.
Breakout to be led by thephysical side.
That hasn't been the case and,as a result, it suggests more
speculative activity in silvermarkets, which makes it more
difficult to forecast what mightoccur as a result.

(19:50):
So he's saying, even with thephysical deficits, that really
hasn't driven the short-termprice, so that's not even
factored into this, according tohim.
According to him, I think, thatultimately the physical
shortages and the reality kicksin, and I don't know this to be

(20:10):
true, but it's estimated thatfor every 250 ounces of paper
silver traded, one ounce ofsilver actually exists in
reality, in the real world.
This demand is doing just fine.
The one thing I will say, sincethe threat of the trade war
became more apparent, is thatmost analysts out there expect a

(20:31):
downturn in demand for rawmaterials, a downturn in the
global economy, and we've notseen any sign of that yet.
Now and I want to get into it'sinteresting A lot of this is
happening faster than I'danticipated.
I wanted to read you a tweet.

(20:52):
Is that what you still could?
You still call the x thingstweets, but first of all, you
always get your tomorrow's newstoday over here because, um, I
told you a while ago that the,the gold, supplanted the euro,

(21:13):
is the second most held reserveasset by central banks, and
that's a headline on kitco.
So I feel like either I jumptimelines or I've just been
reading that for a while it'sbeen over, like a year or more.
But, yeah, gold supplanted theeuro and only one more currency
to go.
Only one more.

(21:34):
The first held reserve tier oneasset held by central banks is
the dollar.
But that is eroding slowly.
The dollar, uh, but that is, uh, eroding slowly.
Now let's, uh, let's jump overto this article on ai, and this
is kind of what I've beenthinking, but this is just a

(21:57):
little.
In this.
We're trying to do trends here,folks, it's an art, not a
science.
Well, apparently, because Ihave to broadcast off a laptop
with my roadcaster, let's, um,let's share this, let's go to
zero hedge.
Just an interesting,interesting piece here.

(22:21):
Something to think about Now,if you want to.
I always thought, you know, backin 2000, I was 27 and 07, and
this is right on the cusp of the, the great recession and the
housing bubble and all thatstuff that happened the subprime

(22:42):
meltdown and TARP.
I was paying attention.
I was running a real estatecompany, so I had like six
agents or so and I remember allof a sudden the phone stopped
ringing.
There just wasn't any deals andit wasn't like I didn't have
marketing, I had all that.
So I just kept watching thistrend, watching this trend, and

(23:05):
I would tune into financialnetworks and they'd be like
everything is great and themarket is strong because they're
always selling that.
You know they're selling thestrength of the market and
everything's great.
And I thought, wow, this isreally weird because I'm not
seeing that.
I wasn't old enough yet torealize that most of that's just
garbage and I kept listening tofinancial radio.
I wasn't old enough yet torealize that most of that's just
garbage and I kept.
I listened to, you know,financial radio.

(23:26):
I'm watching the shows, I'mlike I'm trying, I'm reading the
wall street journalEverything's great, everything's
great.
One day I walked.
I trusted my gut, though it waslike beginning of 08.
And I just went in and pulledthe plug and I just told the
agents I'm like I can't sustainthis.
So you know, I'm not going tolike keep putting it on the card

(23:46):
.
I'm not going to keep bettingon this market that doesn't
exist.
If the deals aren't there,they're not there.
So I just slowly started toback up and lo and behold, you
know, here it comes.
I think it was like September,october, going into 08.
We all remember.
And then, you know, you hadHank Paulson begging Nancy
Pelosi for $750 billion.
George W Bush, what did he say?

(24:07):
This sucker's going down.
But I kind of anticipated thatand it was based off just
reality, like what was happening.
I'm doing the same thing with.
You know I don't rejecttechnology.
I think it can be wonderful.
It's in the wrong hands, it'skind of like a gun, you know,

(24:30):
like if you have a or any kindof weapon, if it's in the wrong
hands, then it can be used forevil.
I think technology in and ofitself can be good, and this
article up on Zero Hedge, Ithought was just a glimpse.
I thought it was just well doneand a little bit of a glimpse

(24:51):
into what the future could looklike, because it's not going to
be like the past.
I mean, there's certain thingsyou know.
History doesn't repeat itselfbut it rhymes, so you can glean
a little bit of knowledge fromit.
But that's not, especially withtechnology.
You can't always rely on that.

(25:12):
Ai is going to generate amassive boom in hard assets, so
that in and of itself, I thinkis a smart headline, because
I've been saying that Artificialintelligence, ai, is going to
ignite a boom in hard assets.
This is by Phoenix CapitalResearch.
As I've said in the last fewarticles, the AI revolution is

(25:34):
moving into the next phase,physical AI.
This is the phase in which AIsoftware is integrated with
physical hardware robots,appliances, automobiles, etc.
Some recent developments Teslais preparing to launch a robot
taxi, full self-driving, thatcan transport a passenger

(25:56):
anywhere, even throughpedestrian-clogged cities,
without assistance assistance.
Meta has launched a new aimodel, vg jepa2, designed to
interact with the physical world.
The model is capable ofunderstanding physical reality
to the point of acknowledgingthat items out of sight continue
to exist and move, and nvidiaintroduced a physical ai

(26:23):
software update, the, the IsaacGroup Dreams I don't know what
that means that will be used tosynthesize motion data for
robotics.
Thus far, we focused on techaspect of these developments,
namely tech companies that areinvesting in and developing this
technology.
However, there's anothercomponent the physical AI

(26:45):
revolution, hard assets andenergy.
Robots, cars, appliances, etc.
All require tremendous amountsof materials and energy for
development and manufacturing.
The IEA, the InternationalEnergy Agency, forecast a 160%
rise in electricity demand by2030, driven by ai related items

(27:08):
.
You notice that you don't hearanybody complaining about
bitcoin not really aboutbitcoin's energy draw anymore.
You know, as it kind of justwent away, it used to be like a
big thing, like we can't useBitcoin.
Cryptocurrency takes too muchenergy.
Energy usage is not an issue.

(27:31):
You just got to make moreability.
You have to make the ability toproduce energy.
That's your task.
It's not to use less energy.
It's to make better, cleaner,more efficient energy, not less.
That's.
That's the difference betweenthe, like the uh world economic
forum, getting your pod and eatbugs for greta crowd, because

(27:54):
they just want you to go away.
They don't want them.
They really don't want moreenergy.
But then it's, they got to runtheir ai stuff so they don't
know what to do.
So they don't complain about itanymore, because AI uses a lot
of energy.
Robots, cars, appliances allrequire tremendous amounts of

(28:14):
energy for development andmanufacturing.
Ai data centers alone areexpected to account for 21% of
all global energy demand by 2030.
And that's not even accountingfor the impact of physical AI.
The AI revolution will createmassive demand for copper,
aluminum, tin, steel, silver anda slew of other natural

(28:37):
resources.
Put simply, the AI story is notjust about advanced tech.
It's about the commodities andhard assets.
This is true.
So, again, this is just anotherexample of what I've been saying
, because it's the reset of theglobal monetary order.

(29:02):
So what are these centralbanksters?
What are the countries?
What are the multinationalsdoing?
They're acquiring hard assets.
That's why, if you only have acertain amount of bandwidth, pay
attention to the macro to thebest of your ability.
That's what I try to do,because these little sparks and

(29:24):
things that go on, they areimportant, but careful how much
you pay attention to them andnot the big picture, because
what's going on?
You're still inside the greatreset.
It's a fourth turning thecyclical history.
You know, 80 years ago, at theend of world war two, and we had
the IMF, was created, the WorldBank, gold was pegged at $35 an

(29:46):
ounce and then the dollar wasmade the world's reserve
currency and by 1971, weabandoned that Bretton Woods
Agreement and created what we'rein right now.
So there's going to be another.
It might be the Mar-a-LagoAccords, it might be something
else, but there's going to haveto be because of the massive
amount of currency creation anddebt.

(30:08):
There has to be, and they'vecalled for and they have the
plans drawn up for a reset ofthe monetary system.
So that's what I'm payingattention to, and even the ai
revolution is pointing towardsthe use of hard assets.
That's not going away, whetherit's silver copper you talk

(30:31):
about platinum today on theDavid Knight show.
I think that's probably anoutlier too.
It's funny.
People ask me what prices aregoing to go up, and I'm like all
of them, hard asset prices willgo up.
And I'm like all of them, hardasset prices will go up, uh,
against the dollar.
And I know silver is that weirdthing that's been suppressed a

(30:52):
long time.
And uh, you know, believe me,if a conglomerate of
billionaires got together anddecided they wanted to corner
the physical silver market anddrive the price up to hundreds
of dollars an ounce, they could,easy, you could expose the
weakness in that market anytime.
Nobody's done it, because thelast people to do it were the

(31:14):
hunt family in texas and theywere deep stated because they
were exposing the weakness inthe dollar by showing you that
in 1980 you could get silver togo over 50 bucks an ounce, and I
remind you that $50 an ounce in1980 is like $300 today, in
purchasing power at least.
Right, what could you get for50?
But you go into Safeway inGarland, texas, in 1980 and come

(31:39):
out with a whole bunch ofgroceries.
You go into Walmart today with50 bucks, you might come out
with half a bag bunch ofgroceries you're going to.
You're going to walmart todaywith 50 bucks, you might come
out with half a bag full ofstuff.
So you know, do the math, folks.
All right, let's see if I've gotany comments before we jump on
to to foreign policy.
Oh, let me read this first.

(31:59):
Let me go.
I want to read this tweetbecause I I talked about the
european central banks but Ithought this was good.
Let me see.
This is june 9th, I think, overon gold telegraph.
A great, a great account overon gold telegraph.
Let's see, yeah, gold is on theoffensive.

(32:23):
This is from June 9th.
Central banks are hoardingCostco can't keep it on the
shelves.
Brics is eyeing a new preciousmetals exchange, by the way they
are.
And China is expanding theShanghai Gold Exchange.
Yeah, they're doing that tosatellite offices for physical.
Even the European Central Bankfears gold demand could crack

(32:43):
the system.
The writing is on the wall.
See, that's.
That's a concise tweet.
There's a lot of wisdom in that.
Let's go to.
We haven't I'm sorry guys, wehaven't streamed over on rumble
in a long time.
Some got that stream up andrunning.
I see guard Goldsmith overthere and nights of the storm.

(33:07):
Thanks, guys.
Guard Goldsmith said I loveKitco, me too.
They always have good articles.
Good to see you guys, and Ithink I had some.
Uh, I think I've got somecomments over on YouTube.
It's just, you know, I wantedso badly to run my show off my

(33:33):
regular network but I couldn'ttoday.
Freethinker 59.
Hey, somebody reposted thestream.
That's good.
So I am streaming over onTwitter.
That's good.
So I am streaming over onTwitter.
That's good.
All right, that makes me feelbetter, because that's where my
audience at Worldwide ChristianRadio picks up the transmission

(33:56):
so it can go out worldwide onshortwave.
So I wasn't too sure.
All right, guys, let's jumpover.
Now we're going to cross overinto some parapolitics.
At least all these kind ofstories come out that I'm going
to take you to, because we knowwhat the headlines are.

(34:16):
First of all, we'll look atantiwarcom, and then I'm going
to go into this article.
Going to go into this article,by the way, just for a little
bit of more intel.
Wells Fargo is predicting$3,600 an ounce gold into next
year.
So always conservative, let'ssee.

(34:38):
Yeah, this is antiwarcom.
We'll do a couple of theseheadlines, and then I want to
take you to the article that Ithought was most relevant,
because there's some historyhere that we need to talk about
US anticipating potentialIsraeli attack on Iran.

(35:00):
Iran warns it will hit US basesin the region if attacked
Inside.
And this is what we're going totalk about inside the MAGA
versus HAWC battle to sway Trumpon bombing Iran.
And then Iranian media saysdocs show IAEA an instrument for

(35:23):
Israel, that's theInternational Atomic Energy
Agency.
Let's, let's this.
This is a politico article.
Stop the screen.
This is the one that they'reinside.
Inside MAGA versus the Warhawks.

(35:46):
There's some history here,though.
Pull this up real quick.
Yeah, this is brings backmemories.
One second I may have to Toomany articles open and selling

(36:12):
me doesn't like me anymore.
Let's go back to this one moretime.
And this is Politico not that Ilike Politico articles, but
they've kind of broken downwhat's happening inside the MAGA

(36:32):
vs Hawk battle to sway Trump onbombing Iran.
Trump allies are trying tocounter a private pressure
campaign to ditch SteveWitkoff's diplomatic effort and
join Israel in attacking Tehran.
An influential group of GOPhawks has launched a

(36:53):
behind-the-scenes lobbyingoffensive pressing President
Trump to not only back off hisadministration's quest for a
nuclear deal with Iran, butgreenlight an attack on Tehran
by Israel.
The campaign is raising alarmsamong Trump and his allies, who
have launched a counteroffensiveto keep the president's

(37:13):
diplomacy on track.
During a private lunch with thepresident at the White House
last Wednesday, conservativetalk show host Mark Levin told
Trump that Iran was days awayfrom building a nuclear.
First of all, are you tired yet?

(37:36):
I saw a?
Uh, a great video by this guynamed sultan of savage over on
instagram.
This is an older guy, justgives men advice on living in
this world and, uh, it'sinteresting fella, you know I
like him smart.
He's got a beard, you know, andhe's like he took a poll and it

(37:58):
said, um, just ask people.
Um, you know, are you, are youinterested or are you willing to
send aid and military effortsto help other nations?
Are you worried about thestruggles of other nations or
are you more concerned with theUnited States and infrastructure

(38:21):
and your own life and what'sgoing on here?
It was like overwhelming.
It's like 80% to 90% of peopleoverwhelmingly said, oh no, I
care about here.
But then he said well, that'snot what goes on, though,
because we're more focused onwhat's over there.
This has always been my problem, because what that says is that

(38:43):
we're not in charge.
It's not a majority.
The majority is not beingaccounted for.
You have no representation.
Your will is not being carriedout because, again, this is a
small group of influencers.

(39:07):
If you will, that put us ontrack for these disastrous wars
and a lot of times it's nevergood enough.
I mean, I remember readingstories about Reagan.
Anyway, you can read DonJeffries on Reagan and if you
want to read Hidden History notperfect, but Reagan believed in

(39:33):
the total abolishment of nuclearweapons.
Yeah, he called the SovietUnion an evil empire.
He created the well, thesemblance of SDI, which was the
Strategic Defense Initiative,and then Star Wars, you know
like, with this supposedtechnology so we can intercept

(39:53):
nuclear weapons and ICBMs andall that.
But luckily he had Gorbachevand Gorbachev was willing to
work with him.
The Soviet Union was hurtingfinancially.
They were bogged down.
In Afghanistan we had the CIAand the Musha Hadeen and Tim
Osman, osama bin Laden and AlQaeda killing Russians, and they

(40:16):
were bogged down.
And you know, economically wewere with the Saudis.
This was part of thepetrodollar and Reagan basically
put the Soviet Union out ofbusiness.
So that's pretty much what itis.
It's like they couldn't competewith us in the Cold War.
And again, some of this ispapered over a little bit and
I'm painting a broad brush.
I understand that.

(40:37):
But even then, when he wassigning deals with Gorbachev,
you'd have people at the WhiteHouse, like part of the order of
things, like the staff andstuff, that were such staunch
Cold Warriors that they wouldturn their backs on him, like
during the signing of things.

(40:57):
It's like it's never goodenough and you got to think
where did those guys go likeduring the?
And, by the way, a lot of the,a lot of the, the virulent
anti-soviet Soviet Cold Warriorsin the 1980s became or were

(41:18):
neocons.
They were neoconservatives andit's not because they really
opposed communism, they opposedStalin's version of it, because
they were Trotskyites.
The Bolshevik Revolutionproduced Lenin and then Stalin
and then Stalin and Trotskyright.
These were part of this.
Like there was a breakaway andStalin eventually had Trotsky

(41:40):
killed in Mexico by the nicepick in the 1930s.
Well, there was an intellectualcast of people that were born
out of that.
They were called Trotskyitesand they eventually became
neoconservatives.
You can look this up, by theway, the wing of the Republican
Party that I'm talking abouthere, whether they know it or
not and I think they do, becauseBill Kristol, his father, is

(42:03):
Irving Kristol Trotskyite theseare revolutionaries that believe
in Marxism, just the perpetualrevolution of it.
They abandoned a lot of theMarxian things, but they're
still Marxist and it's why it'simportant to understand that
Like why do they want to?
A lot of them are Zionists too,or actually the majority of all

(42:28):
neoconservatives are, and youwonder why they're so fixated on
them.
During a private lunch with thepresident at the White House
last Wednesday, conservativetalk show host Mark Levin told
Trump that Iran was days awayfrom building a nuclear weapon.
Ok, I remember it wasn't.
Go back to like the mid 90s andyou have Netanyahu saying you

(42:50):
know Iran getting the bomb isimminent.
Do we need to redefine the wordimminent?
First of all, it's an oldtechnology.
It's 80 years old.
You know the mere fact thatpakistan has one, like you know
india has one.
I mean, come on, north korea,whose gdp is 40 billion okay,

(43:12):
has one.
I mean, come on, north Korea,whose GDP is $40 billion okay,
supposedly has a bomb.
Pretty sure they do.
Levin has been waging a publicwar against Trump's longtime
friend and special envoy leadingtalk, steve Witkoff, who's
attended the meeting.
They were joined by GOPmega-donor Ike Permutter, the

(43:37):
one-time Marvel Entertainmentexecutive Okay.
On a separate front, magaloyalists have been warily
eyeing Rupert Murdoch's papers,particularly the New York Post,
as they've savaged Witkoff,suggesting at one point that
he's another mouthpiece forQatar.
The allegations have infuriatedsome in Trump's inner circle.

(44:01):
Oh yeah you get.
If you're for trying to keepthe semblance of peace, you will
be destroyed.
Adlai Stevenson that happened tohim during the Cuban Missile
Crisis.
He even knew he's like I'mgoing to you ever seen anybody

(44:23):
slit their own throat before.
If you know who Adlai Stevensonwas.
In the 1950s he ran forpresident against Eisenhower and
lost twice and then eventually,when Kennedy won in 1960, they
put Adlai I think he was thegovernor of Illinois at one time
and just, I mean, if you lookat him, he's a thoughtful man,

(44:48):
he's well-educated,self-educated too and was
thoughtful.
I mean he wanted peace in anuclear age.
You know a sane person?
And Adelaide.
When they found out there wasmissiles in Cuba that were 90
miles off the coast of Floridaand there was nuclear missiles

(45:09):
pointed at us or about to bearmed, everybody wanted to do
airstrikes followed by invasion.
Nuclear missiles pointed at usare about to be armed.
Everybody wanted to doairstrikes followed by invasion.
You know which?
Basically world war three.
You know like, even though wehad missiles in Turkey pointed
at the Soviet union.
They went and that was, seemsit was seen as an offensive

(45:30):
action.
And in the meeting AdlaiStevenson, who was a man of
peace, said um, is there any waywe could have a communicate
what?
What can we trade?
So he suggested it at first andthen that basically ended his
career, although he had one more.

(45:50):
Um, he did really well in theUN and Kennedy thought about the
maxim of Sun Tzu that thebattles are won in the temples
long before they're fought.
And he put Adlai up there andhe did a really good job
confronting the Sovietambassador.
But that's neither here northere.
You talk about being dispatchedto a wasteland.

(46:15):
You know, be the one who'strying to keep peace.
They're trying to push thepresident to make a decision,
since it's not what he wants.
A senior administrationofficial told Politico.
This person, like others inthis story, was granted

(46:36):
anonymity to speak freely.
There's clearly a lobby for warwith Iran versus those who are
more aligned with the presidentthat know he is the one that has
to be able to bring them to thenegotiating table.
He is the one that has to beable to bring them to the
negotiating table.
The lobbying has triggered acoordinated effort to defend

(47:03):
Trump and Witkoff's diplomaticposture.
Hours after Levin's meetingwith Trump, tucker Carlson, who
had clearly been alerted to thegathering by someone familiar
with what happened, took to X toaccuse Levin of trying to bully
the US into war.
And this is Carlson.
There is zero credible evidence, intelligence that suggests
Iran is anywhere near building abomb or has plans to None, said

(47:25):
Carlson.
So why is Mark Levin once againhyperventilating about weapons
of mass destruction?
To distract you from the realgoal, which is regime change,
young americans heading back tothe middle east to topple yet
another government.
Well, thank you, tucker carlson, because it's exactly what that
is.
You understand that there's apowerful lobby, a foreign entity

(47:49):
in the united states thatpushes us and because of
self-interest which they have aright to do, by the way, and we
have a right to call it out fortheir own interest of chaos in
the Middle East, regime change.
And what's the latest?
From Saddam Hussein, you know,or Gaddafi or Assad Assad, you

(48:11):
know, they use Westernintelligence.
Along with Assad, they useentities like ISIS and al-Qaeda.
Matter of fact, al-qaeda meansthe database that was the
database of Musha ad-Dinfighters to take on the Soviet
Union in 1979.
It's run by US intelligence.
They use these to create eitherboogeyman or affect regime

(48:38):
change.
And you've got to ask yourselfwhy.
The private lobbying and publicsniping highlight a vast breach
in the GOP over US foreignpolicy just months into Trump's
first term in the GOP over USforeign policy, just months into
Trump's first term.
While many hawkish members ofthe old guard have viewed
Witkoff's diplomatic effort withskepticism, the more restrained

(49:00):
wing of the party has beenadamant about diffusing tensions
with Iran.
Well, let me tell you what Ithink too.
Not that I ever hold back, butI believe that there are so many

(49:23):
pitfalls ahead for thisadministration as far as holding
and seizing power.
And you know, with tradetensions and the, it's almost an
impossible game to win anyway,even if you're playing it
perfectly Because of theconditions that already have
been set for you with thede-dollarization and breakdown
of the US empire.
But there most likely will be abig Democratic sweep coming
soon which will tie up thisadministration and impeachment

(49:47):
here.
That's what we'll do.
We'll do like nothing will gethappen.
It'll just be wave after waveof impeachment hearings and
there'll just be one thing afteranother on that front.
So, so if, if you're Israel andyou want to hit Iran and affect
regime change or do somethinglike that, that's what you would
do, you would do it sooner thanlater.

(50:09):
That's why there's like why nowis it?
Is it because Iran's emimminently getting the bomb?
And, by the way, what if theydid?
Can we live with that?
It's silly.
When you actually put on theboard about nuclear

(50:31):
proliferation, which I do notagree with.
I don't.
You know.
If you can stop theproliferation of nuclear weapons
, it should happen.
But does that mean that we haveto do?
We have to sacrifice ourmilitary, our sons and daughters
and blood and treasure, boggeddown in a Middle Eastern war
with no winning.
For what?
And Iran is.

(50:51):
Look at the landmass of Irancompared to Iraq, which was a
holy hell to try to run.
I mean, you're going to do that.
It is, once you break it, youown it.
And it looks like you knowwe're being pushed right now to
get into this thing, and it maybe because they're trying to do
a hurry-up offense in some wayTo get into this thing, and it

(51:17):
may be because they're trying todo a hurry up offense in some
way In the Middle East, in themiddle of the tug of war is
Trump, who ran on a promise ofending what his followers see as
an endless US foreignadventurism and war.
Some Trump allies believe thepresident will stand his ground
and even predict the pressuretactics are starting to grate on

(51:38):
him.
Levin and Murdoch are all overTrump all the time.
I actually think they hurttheir case because I know Trump
said one time long time Trumpconfidant.
Well, I hope they're correct.
I don't really see much of adistinction.
I'm glad that there is thesemblance of trying to do a

(52:01):
settled negotiation or something, but on the other end you have
Israel who wants to hit.
They'd rather us do it.
You know, just like when I wasin the Middle East never saw an
Israeli troop, saw me and allthe Americans.
We're always going everywhere inthe Middle East, if you notice.
Or they'll just send Al-Qaedaand ISIS in, like they did in

(52:25):
Syria with the white Toyotas.
They always had the bestToyotas.
They always had the bestToyotas, yeah, so again there's
infighting and there's a lot ofpush.
Right now you need to understandthe history of who pushed us
into the Iraq War.

(52:46):
By the end of his presidency,even George W Bush called them
the bomber boys.
You had Bill Kristol andWilliam Bennett, charles
Krauthammer, all these thebomber boys, and they were all
Arden Zinus and they were allvery much neocons and you have

(53:07):
to understand what a neocon is.
If you truly grasp that, thenyou understand US foreign policy
is.
If you truly grasp that, thenyou understand US foreign policy
and you understand theleft-right paradigm and just the
total nonsense that's builtinto that.
It's not real, right?
It is not real.
It is real.
All right, let's do a littlebit of gold and silver pricing.

(53:33):
I want to tell you about somedeals we have.
We'll close out the stream fortoday.
It's good to be back and bynext week I should have all my
equipment running and I've got anew podcast coming out I'm
working on.
I'm going to continue to dothis show and I'm going to buy

(53:54):
some stuff.
So, even if I'm on the road, Ijust didn't have the equipment.
That's one of the reasons Ididn't run the show.
Even if I am traveling, I'm ina hotel or whatever, if I can
get Wi-Fi, I'm going to get somenew stuff so I can do the show.
Because I want to be consistentwith you guys.
I know you're tuning in and itmeans a lot to me because we got

(54:19):

happening it's like hard tocatch up, so I'll make sure that
we do that.
So art of burn radio willcontinue to be live thursdays 11
am central, 12 eastern.
And um, we've got, you know,paratroopers will drop it's.
Mr anderson and myself areworking on some and those will
periodically hit.

what day I'm going to do it, butit's going to correspond with

(54:41):
our newsletter and I'm workingon that.
It's going to be in line withmacro, kind of what we talked
about.
You'll always be able to tunein here for parapolitics and my
take on the world at large andreality, and that's good.
We'll always be able to diginto that.
But this will be moregeopolitics, precious metals,

(55:03):
bitcoin, things like that, thefinancial system, and we'll stay
focused on that.
So let me pull up gold andsilver prices real quick.

ounce of the yellow metal.
Gold's up $59.46 since openingof trade in the last 24 hours.
Silver's $36.21.
Again, it broke that $35 anounce range, which means there's

(56:14):
a lot of underlying supplyissues and I think this is, as
