Speaker: The thing that makes the current system what they would call slavery is debt-based and secrecy. And the failure of their elected representatives to require, you know, to get obey the law. So you have lawlessness, you have debt-based, and you have secrecy. The problem is not that the currency is fiat. Because if you go back through history, if you read Alexander Del Mar, the most effective currencies in the world are fiat currencies that are well governed. We have a debt-based fiat currency that is not well governed in my opinion, but it could be. Now remember, there has been almost no support in the general population for managing it responsibly. Everybody was like, no. Don’t manage it responsibly. Get me my check. And if that means you’re irresponsible, that’s okay. I want my check. But you are not gonna fix this situation by going to gold and silver. You’re gonna make it much worse. Because while we’ve done this sort of hear no evil, see no evil, you know, speak no evil for thirty years, the central bankers have accumulated all the gold. So now that they have all the gold, you’re gonna tell me we’re gonna go to a gold system? Are you out of your mind? Because now they’ve got the gold. And if you start a gold transaction system, now you need gold from them, and they’ve got you over a barrel. Right? And what are you gonna do to get gold? You’re gonna have to sell your land. You’re gonna have to sell your kids. You’re gonna have to sell real assets to get their gold. Right? Why would you do that? Why would you create, you know, you’re dependent on your enemy now. You’re gonna increase your dependency on your enemy now? You’re out of your mind. Okay. That’s not a sound money system, especially because they wanna make it digital. And so they’re gonna have fiat gold, which is even— I mean, if you think fiat is bad, where do you see fiat gold when they own all the gold? So, what we want is we want a fiat system, and we want it with, you know, lawful and no secrecy or minimal secrecy. You’re gonna have to have some secrecy and a good governance system. Can we get there? Of course, we can get there. But we can’t get there if you have an entire population that is absolutely committed to corrupt short-term behavior.

Speaker 0 argues that it's the beginning of the end of the monetary system as we know it. It's not just the US dollar; it's fiat monetary currencies in general. They note that the UK, the euro, Japan, and China have similar debt problems and share interrelationships, which is the reason central banks are choosing gold. The implication is that these dynamics are driving a shift toward gold as a preferred reserve asset. Speaker 0 emphasizes that gold has always been the main currency and identifies it as the only non-fiat currency—meaning it is not the currency that can be printed. This point is presented as foundational to the argument about why gold is being selected in the current environment by major financial actors. Building on that assertion, Speaker 0 asserts that central banks are moving toward gold, and sovereign wealth funds are likewise moving toward gold. This movement is described as the nature of the shift occurring within the monetary system. In other words, the combination of widespread fiat debt concerns among major economies and the longstanding status of gold as a non-fiat currency is depicted as driving a broad realignment in reserve preferences and asset holdings. The overall claim is that the monetary system is undergoing a transformative change driven by debt-related pressures across major economies and the comparative stability or non-fiat status of gold. The speaker links the observed behavior—central banks and sovereign wealth funds increasing gold allocations—to this larger shift, framing it as part of a systemic evolution rather than as isolated actions. In summary, Speaker 0 contends that the current moment marks a fundamental transition away from fiat currencies toward gold, driven by debt problems across major economies and the historical role of gold as the main and non-fiat currency, with central banks and sovereign wealth funds moving to gold as part of this shift.

"the dollars, days as the reserve currency are numbered." "we shortened that number ourselves with a self inflicted wound when Biden announced those crippling sanctions or hope they were intended to be crippling against, Russia." This sent "a strong message to the world that you don't want to hold dollars, that you don't wanna have the US dollar and US treasuries as your reserves because, you know, you run the risk of being punished by the US government." "And so we told the world, get rid of dollars and buy gold, and that's exactly what they've been doing." "That's why the of gold is at an all time record high, you know, despite the fact that retail investors have been selling gold all year." "Gold keeps going up, setting one record after another." "Gold is on pace for its best year since 1979." "That is not a coincidence."

We are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession, but something worse than a recession is possible if things aren't handled well. The monetary order is breaking down because we cannot spend the amounts of money we are spending. This issue is connected to the dollar and tariffs. Profound changes are occurring in our domestic order and the world order. These times are very much like the 1930s.

First speaker outlines that 1914, the year the Federal Reserve was created, coincides with the institution of the income tax, and argues these two developments are parts of the same tool. Since 1971, he says, every ill in society has expanded, and now the fruits of that system have come home to roost. He asserts the money system enables certain forces to enact their will without accountability, describing fiat money as giving those forces carte blanche to decide what money is and how much there is. He contends money is at the heart of many problems, alongside the spiritual realm, and emphasizes a strong connection between money and moral/spiritual forces, calling it a dangerous master. Second speaker asks what the US government prices its own gold at, noting that the US is the biggest gold holder. First speaker answers: $42.22 per ounce, which is far below market price (around $3,000). Second speaker asks how that discrepancy is possible. First speaker explains the Fed can choose how to value its assets, either marking to market or to cost, highlighting the Fed’s power to revalue assets on its books. He notes reports that the Fed’s balance sheet has been underwater on paper at times, and that gold on the Fed’s balance sheet can serve as an ace to revalue the balance sheet if needed. He describes it as “magic.” They discuss whether one could buy gold from the US government at $42, and acknowledge people watch the Fed’s balance sheet and market-to-market data. First speaker references James Rickards and his book The Death of Money, noting that the Fed could mark assets to market but not necessarily revalue gold, which could be used to rebalance the balance sheet. They contemplate what would happen to gold prices if the US held enough gold to back a new standard; under a 40% reserve ratio, gold price might range widely to restore a 1:1 parity with the Chinese yuan, possibly between $20,040 and $40,000 per ounce, depending on the balance sheet and reserves. Luke Groman is cited as saying achieving 1:1 parity with the yuan would require about $22,000 per ounce of gold, assuming the claimed gold stock is accurate. First speaker explains that achieving a gold-backed standard could force a reality-based discipline: a revaluation could alter international currency dynamics, reduce the ability to wage wars funded by fiat money, and end hollowing out of the industrial base and unchecked globalism. He argues that a return to an honest money standard would impose norms and transparency, forcing currency and national commitments to be truthful. Second speaker adds that lying is evil, and a society lacking truth is deeply problematic. He closes by expressing gratitude for the discussion and hope that their efforts chip away at the issue.

The year was 1871, and while the events of this year have been purposefully hidden from the masses, 1871 must never be forgotten. Much like Vatican City and the City Of London, Washington, D. C. Has its own sovereignty. Basically, D.C., City Of London, and Vatican City are totally separate territories from the nations in which they reside. Vatican City is technically enclaved within Rome, outfitted with its own special police force and political structure, the same way the City Of London is situated within the city called London, and it has its own flag, crest, police force, ceremonial armed forces, and a mayor. And sure, there are states within The United States that have their own constitution and distinctive flags, but I think most people you'd ask would know that Washington, D. C. Isn't a state. Most folks would tell you that Washington, D. C. Is where our laws are made, where our politicians congregate, and where our White House resides. But on the D. C. Flag, which is said to have been reflective of George Washington's coat of arms, there are three stars. And I wonder, are those stars representative of the three city states that exist as corporate entities outside of their respective nations? Vatican City, the religious hub, the city of London, the banking central, and Washington, D. C, the military leg of the empire. Being its own city state, DC has its own police force that shares a direct link with Congress, its own mayor, and its own set of laws. But our founding father certainly didn't set it up like this. So how did it come to be? The year was 1871. The US was going through a lot of turmoil. The nation was bankrupt and vulnerable after the civil war, and the London bankers, which included the notorious Rothschild family, were ready to make a deal with congress to remedy that turmoil. Turmoil, I might add, that is suspected that the bankers had a hand in creating in the first place. At any rate, these bankers made a lot of credit available in the aftermath of the civil war as a means to, one, fight Lincoln's greenback after he was murdered, with some theorizing that part of the motivation for his assassination came from his push to privatize the monetary system. The second reason that the bankers made so much credit available was to collect on the interest from those who desperately needed the money, which would be the United States government at the time. Now, this was nothing new, this was practice as old as time. Well, as old as Mystery Babylon. Not much has really changed since the days of Babylon, not the usury, not the debt slavery, not even the iconography. Passed by Congress, the Act of 1871 provided a government for the 10 mile parcel of land known as the District Of Columbia, allowing Washington, D. C. To act as a corporation outside of the original Constitution of The United States. So, okay, why does the Washington, D. C. Constitution have nothing to do with The United States constitution? Why exactly is Washington, D. C. Totally separate from the rest of The United States? Why does it need to be separate from The United States, as a separate territory at the epicenter of the Virgin Mary, tucked right between Virginia and Maryland? The Act of 1871 changed our country's founding fathers' original constitution for The United States for America to the constitution of The United States Of America. If you blink, you might miss it because it's a mixture of impactful wording and some weird capitalization thrown in there that pretty means nothing to the average person upon initial inspection. But these subtle changes are a huge deal in the realm of legislation. Compounded with these minor changes was clever marketing of the act as a way to unify the territorial government for the entire District of Columbia. The aforementioned are contributing factors as to how such a major act flew under the radar, ultimately overturning the United States Constitutional Republic. Since 1871, the federal government has usurped nearly all of the power that was formerly held in the hands of the people. But how on earth was Congress able to pass a separate constitution and incorporate The United States? A bunch of attorneys have contacted me about this subject, explaining it to me, thank you for everyone who's done that, but let me break it down to you in a way that won't make you just totally fall asleep. A corporation, by definition, is a legal entity from its owners. A corporation protects its owners from personal liability for corporate debts and obligations within limits. So was the Act of 1871 as harmless as some claim just an act to provide a government for the District Of Columbia and nothing more? We can answer that question by simply stepping back and taking a look at the dominoes that fell after this act was passed, and asking the question: Who benefited from this piece of legislation? Is the Act of 1871 the reason why Congress passed the sixteenth amendment, which allowed the federal government to tax individual personal income regardless of state population? Is the Act of 1871 the reason why the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed, handing over America's gold and silver reserves and ultimately the total control of America's economy to the Federal Reserve Bank. Think about it. A private corporation established their private bank, acting as the central bank of The United States, But it isn't even a government institution, but a privately owned banking system. Is it a coincidence that social security numbers started being assigned in 1935, social security numbers being the nine digit numbers given to every U. S. Citizen, and used for income tracking and taxation purposes. Ultimately, individual income taxes have been the primary source of revenue for the U. S. Federal government since the 1950s. These moves make a lot of sense when examined through the lens of The United States as a corporation and its citizens as employees, a corporate government asset before they even go through puberty. But still, throughout all this time, there was a promise that the American dollar was actually worth something. Something tangible, not just the confidence to exchange it for goods and services. A dollar was worth one thirty fifth an ounce of gold. But then President Richard Nixon came along and screwed that up for us. Severing the final link between the dollar and gold in 1971. In other words, he took the dollar off the gold standard once and for all. Steadily, the purchasing power of the dollar has declined while federal and consumer debt has increased. Currently, we're witnessing the culmination of all of these decisions, and it ain't pretty. We're one bad flu season removed from Weimar Republic wheelbarrow money. So who would you say benefited from the Act of 1871? The average US citizen, or the bankers who incorporated The United States, who have been buying politicians ever since? The same Federal Reserve who serves absolutely no real function except stealing the purchasing power of your sixty plus hour work week and then redistributing those funds to destroy your rights and enslave you on your own soil. Hey, just like they did back in Babylon. It's the same folks using the same debt slavery system, time after time. When will we learn that debt with interest is a system of perpetual debt, and is continually passed on to the people beneath, until until the debt gap consumes all but those who own the debt? Well, like I said in the beginning of this video, the most pivotal year in United States history was never taught to me in schoolpublic or privateand never taught to me at a college level. But as Americans, it's so important that we not let this information die with our generation. One of the most important lessons you can teach your children is how to obtain their own freedomhow to identify when their freedoms are being taken from them, and how to demand those personal freedoms and liberties back, instead of waiting around for a hero in the form of a politician to represent them, to offer solutions. During this time, we've seen people of all ages crying out for change. And instead of focusing on the changes we could make that could fundamentally change The United States for the better, especially on an individual level, politicians are selling socialism and communism, aka more government control, to young people looking for an answer. And they beg for it because the future seems so bleak. Whether you play with paper or with digital money, the future will always be bleak if you're a debt slave. If before your foot even touches this earth, you're scanned into the system as an employee of this corporation who does not care about you one bit. The United States is still a great country, but it has its problems, and you know you can riot and loot and protest protest all all you you want. Want, But until the Federal Reserve is ended, until the Act of 1871 is torn into a thousand pieces and thrown into the wind, until the IRS is abolished, and until we move back to the gold standard, we have no chance at experiencing any iota of freedom.

Speaker 1 describes the current situation as people living it: they are being squeezed from every angle, and it won’t stop until people say enough. The stock market’s record highs are contrasted with the destruction of the middle class from within. Currency devaluation, artificially suppressed rates, and vast debt expansion are cited as mechanisms, with war described as a means to pull dollars into the now. The speaker argues we are in a multiple crisis environment and that liquidity is drying up; without a new mechanism to pull more borrowed dollars into the present, a Mad Max scenario or worse could ensue as the system inflates into oblivion. The speaker asserts that currency devaluation fosters the greatest wealth transfer the world has seen, asking who benefits from a weaker dollar and lower rates. They claim politicians or bankers promoting a weaker dollar or lower rates are speaking to the 12% who should benefit, not to the general public. The stock market is owned by the one- and two-percenters, and artificially suppressed rates push cash into risk assets, benefiting the elite while the average person is left behind. The Cantelon effect is mentioned as a mechanism to describe how new money is created and distributed: those closest to the money—the entrepreneur class and lead class—receive cash first before it devalues and trickles down to the regular person, who loses purchasing power in the process. Speaker 0 acknowledges this perspective. Speakers discuss why low rates appear attractive on paper but, in practice, when prosperity exists with high rates and a stronger currency, the dynamic changes. The FED and the Fed-treasury complex are described as being assembled to be lenders and buyers of last resort, keeping rates artificially suppressed so cash can flow into risk assets, thereby benefiting the top percentiles and leaving others to be wiped out eventually. The solution offered is straightforward: say enough and fix the system from the bottom up, not from the top down. The elite class does not have the public’s best interest in mind. Rebuilding must start with returning purchasing power to the currency and to the people, which would require much higher rates than currently exist. This would dramatically depress stock prices, interfering with the wealth transfer to the 1–2 percenters. The core message is that broad public action is needed to reverse these dynamics, as politicians and bankers advocate for weaker dollars or lower rates that primarily benefit a small elite while the general population suffers.

The speaker argues that "the dollars, days as the reserve currency are numbered" and claims this was worsened by "a self inflicted wound when Biden announced those crippling sanctions or hope they were intended to be crippling against, Russia." This, they say, sent a strong message that "you don't want to hold dollars, that you don't wanna have the US dollar and US treasuries as your reserves because, you know, you run the risk of being punished by the US government." "If you do something that the US government doesn't approve of, you could be sanctioned, and you may lose, those reserves at a time when you really need them." Consequently, "And so we told the world, get rid of dollars and buy gold, and that's exactly what they've been doing." They note "that's why the of gold is at an all time record high, you know, despite the fact that retail investors have been selling gold all year." "Gold keeps going up, setting one record after another." "Gold is on pace for its best year since 1979." "That is not a coincidence."

Larry Johnson and Glenn discuss the shifting dynamics of the US dollar, the international financial system, and the rise of competing powers. - Johnson recalls the 1965 term exorbitant privilege describing the US dollar’s reserve-currency advantages. In 1971, the US closed the gold window, ending fixed gold value for the dollar; the dollar later became backed by “our promise,” enabling the petrodollar system as oil purchases were conducted in dollars. The dollar’s dominance rested on predictability, a stable legal system, and non-abusive use of the dollar as an economic tool rather than a political weapon. - Trump-era sanctions expanded broadly, impacting friends and adversaries alike, and BRICS nations began moving away from the dollar. Russia’s disconnection from SWIFT after its 2022 actions is noted as a turning point that encouraged the BRICS’ development of alternative financial infrastructure, including China’s cross-border interbank payment system (CIPS). This shift accelerates the decline of the dollar’s dominance. - Nations like Russia and China (and India, Brazil) are unloading US Treasuries and increasing gold and silver holdings. This is tied to concerns about the dollar’s reliability and the reduced faith in paper promises. The BRICS countries reportedly plan a currency tied to gold, with components of their reserves backing individual BRICS currencies, signaling a structural move away from the dollar. - The paper-gold issue is central: for every ounce of real gold, there is a range of 20-to-1 to 100-to-1 in paper gold. This disparity can undermine trust in the paper promise and create a run on physical gold. The price gap between New York (lower) and Shanghai (higher) for gold demonstrates a market dislocation and growing demand for physical metal. - Glenn emphasizes that a unipolar dollar system allows the US to run large deficits via inflation, which acts as a hidden tax on global dollar holders. Weaponizing the dollar through sanctions challenges trust and accelerates decoupling, prompting other nations to seek alternatives to reduce exposure. - Johnson argues that the US is confronting a historic realignment: the Bretton Woods order is dissolving, the dollar’s international dominance is waning, and sanctions and coercive policies are provoking pushback. He highlights Japan as a major remaining dollar treasuries holder that is now offloading, further increasing dollar supply and depressing its value. - The geopolitical implications are significant. Johnson warns that potential US actions against Iran—given their strategic position and the Gulf oil supply—could trigger a severe global disruption, including a price surge in oil. He notes that such actions would complicate global stability and magnify inflationary pressures. - The discussion also covers NATO’s cohesion, Western attempts to shape global alignments, and how rapidly shifting leverage could undermine existing alliances. Johnson suggests that Russia’s strategic gains in the war in Ukraine, combined with Western missteps, may prompt a rapid reevaluation of settlements and borders, while also noting that Russia’s position has hardened. - On Venezuela, Johnson argues that the stated pretexts (drug trafficking, oil control) were questionable and points to economic motives, including revenue opportunities for political allies like Paul Singer, and to Greenland’s strategic interests as possible motivators for US actions. - Looking ahead, Johnson predicts hyperinflation for the United States as the dollar loses value globally, while gold and silver retain value. He asserts that the ruble and yuan may hold value better, and that a mass shift toward de-dollarization is likely to continue, potentially culminating in a new multipolar financial order. - Both speakers agree that trust and predictability are crucial; the current trajectory—threats, sanctions, and unilateral actions—undermines trust and accelerates the move toward alternative currencies and stronger physical-commodity holdings. The overall tone is that a pivotal, watershed moment is unfolding in the global monetary system.

Speaker 0 argues that we are witnessing the end of the fiat dollar-based currency system. He states that unless someone steps in to recognize this, the purchasing power of the dollar is going to zero, and on recent indications this will happen more quickly than originally thought. Regarding investments, he says that if you’re looking at buying gold or silver, it’s not that they are going up so much; rather, the issue is the dollar’s decline, with volatility noted and silver recovering quickly, as is copper. On the topic of hoarding or taking a position, he says you have to ask yourself not the question “is gold going down?” but “will the currency stop going down?” He notes that nothing happens in a straight smooth line, but the loss of purchasing power of the dollar measured by gold—described as real legal money despite what the treasury has claimed for fifty-five years—is accelerating. He concludes that the decline in the dollar is accelerating and is quite alarming when measured in real legal money.

The speaker discusses the concept of money and its creation by bankers, particularly in the Federal Reserve System. They highlight that money has no inherent value and that printing different denominations costs the same. The speaker argues that bankers can create vast amounts of wealth for themselves by printing money, unlike other industries that have profit limits. They explain how reducing the money supply can lead to a depression and reference the Great Depression as an example. The speaker also mentions how the bankers caused the stock market and bank collapses during that time. They assert that World War 2 ended the Great Depression and that the same banks that previously refused money suddenly provided it. The speaker claims that wealthy bankers manipulate the economy by creating recessions, depressions, inflations, and panics. They mention JPMorgan and the Rothschild family's involvement in establishing a central bank, and how they caused the first major panic in 1893.

Speaker 0 argues that Venezuela may not want to ally with this Western form of economic exchange, noting they have tried to join BRICS twice but were vetoed by neighboring Brazil. They describe Venezuela as one of the few countries not controlled by private equity oligarchs and central banksters, and say Venezuela pushed back on a monetary exchange that relies on high-interest promissory notes back to Rothschild Boulevard, like Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, and Muammar Gaddafi. They claim Maduro has effectively been kidnapped, and that Trump said, “kidnapped is fine.” The question is how such events can be real and presented as beneficial to Americans, asserting that economically, there is no benefit to the average citizen or to national security, and that it puts the United States in more imminent, grave danger as the U.S. “agitates around the world,” including in relation to Israel’s enemies. Speaker 1 adds that there will be a political and economic reset, suggesting that silver and gold are at record highs and that gold and silver have tripled historically in short periods, leading to a system reset of sorts. They say Venezuela’s attempts to join the system were to be part of a new framework that Russia, China, Iran and BRICS were trying to create, which would go against the dollar as the global reserve currency and directly affect the U.S. economy. They ask whether this should change. Speaker 0 elaborates that the issue is about flipping countries into the same central banker–controlled monetary exchange system. Speaker 1 notes that Trump, from day one, warned that if you mess with the U.S. dollar or trade outside of the dollar, the U.S. will punish you via sanctions or strikes, and that this is what has been happening. They discuss the possibility that if the system resets and a combination of gold, silver, and possibly crypto or other minerals backs a new dollar or digital currency emerges, the entire game could reset and eliminate these types of issues. In such a scenario, countries might have a looser ability to choose or replace the type of system their country is under.

America's gold was supposed to back the dollar. Leaving the gold standard was the most costly mistake we ever made. After the world war, they promised gold backed dollars, but they broke that promise. They printed paper backed by nothing, funded wars we couldn't afford and shouldn't have been involved in. But France caught on and sent a warship to get back their gold. Truth is, if more countries followed, our vaults would be empty and game secretary of the treasury to take the action necessary to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold. Turns out, when you fake the money, everything else follows and you screw the next generation over. Prices shot up, paychecks didn't, life got tougher, and nobody knew why.

The US national debt has surpassed $33 trillion, with about a third of that added in the last five years. The speaker questions who the nation owes this debt to and highlights the power of bankers, particularly in the Federal Reserve System, who create trillions of dollars without producing anything of value. They quote Thomas Jefferson's warning about the dangers of private banks controlling the money supply. The speaker also points out that money, whether it's a $1 bill or a $20 bill, is just paper with no inherent value. Another speaker mentions the potential value of Bitcoin as the US dollar loses value, suggesting that micro Bitcoins or satoshis could become a common form of untraceable transactions.

"when we went off the gold standard, the governments had to convince people to accept money backed by nothing, Just be on paper that had no real value." "But what would happen with a return to a gold standard, it would require a lot more prudence on the part of governments that adopt gold again." "It would be much harder for governments to run large deficits, especially The United States." "Governments would have to act fiscally responsible in order to stay on a gold standard, which is another reason why we should be on one because they don't let governments run huge deficits when there's a gold standard." "Without a gold standard, governments can get away with this. They can create a lot of inflation and they have created a lot of inflation." "That's what's going to precipitate a return to the gold standard because otherwise, we have runaway inflation." "Otherwise, the dollar can become completely worthless and then you have real economic chaos."

Frank DeLucha, reporting for brightvideos.com, argues that universal high income would lead to hyperinflation and currency collapse. He lays out the math: 100,000,000 people × $10,000 per month × 12 months equals $12,000,000,000,000 a year. He compares this to federal fiscal data: total federal spending in fiscal year 2024 was roughly $6,750,000,000,000 and total federal revenue was about $4,900,000,000,000. He states that the single program would cost nearly twice the entire existing federal budget and about 2.5 times all federal tax revenue, effectively tripling total government spending overnight. He argues it can't be funded by taxation alone, thus would require printing money at a pace that would rapidly devalue the dollar, effectively destroying much of the purchasing power the payments were meant to provide. The recipients would get bigger numbers on their checks, but the prices on the shelves would be rising just as fast or faster. Before long, the people would find themselves right back where they started: impoverished, yet receiving a high income derived entirely from money printing that rapidly erodes the purchasing power of all the dollars they're given. Conclusion: universal high income, in other words, would actually achieve universal poverty and despair. Basic economics.

Speaker 0 said the U.S. does not need a central bank and does not need the central bank “we have.” He argued that even without a central bank, a circulating currency is still required, meaning someone must issue it, but issuance should not be unlimited and should not involve unlimited currency swaps to foreign countries. He discussed the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, noting that its first item on the asset side is “a gold certificate,” which he described as a public document. He said the gold certificate dates to 1934, when the Treasury gave the Fed gold certificates after confiscating the Fed’s gold, and he stated that the gold is now owned by the Treasury. He added that the gold certificate is valued at $42 an ounce and claimed there is approximately $1 trillion of “hidden value” in that line item, based on the difference between the market price of gold and the book value on the Fed’s books. He said an audit should be done and highlighted the idea of “a $1 trillion hidden asset” on the first line item. Speaker 0 also addressed “money printing” and the Fed’s ability to buy government bonds in unlimited quantities. He referenced the First Bank of the United States under Alexander Hamilton in 1796, describing it as not being allowed to lend to the U.S. government, not bearing resemblance to a modern central bank, and instead being allowed to lend to commerce while serving as a depository for Treasury assets and a place for the Treasury to store assets. He contrasted this with models that should not include printing money or using unlimited lending to solve problems. He cited Steve Hanke, a Professor at Johns Hopkins, as an expert on currency boards for currency stability, and said to use that approach without doing anything else. His overall conclusion was: “So no, the short answer is no, we don’t need a Fed.”

Peter Schiff and the hosts discuss how surging gold and silver prices relate to potential banking instability and a broader dollar crisis. Key points: - Silver production is about 800,000,000 ounces per year, while bank shorts on silver are claimed at 4,400,000,000 ounces according to some reports. The implication is that if silver continues to rise, the biggest banks in America could face severe coverage challenges for their short positions. The discussion notes that many banks are “barely covering their asses to stay afloat.” - Gold and silver price levels are highlighted: gold at about $4,600 per ounce after a bounce, and silver at about $92 per ounce. Peter Schiff, introduced as a silver and gold expert and economist, has authored The Real Crash, How to Save Yourself and Your Country, and America’s Coming Bankruptcy. The host mentions the book. - Peter Schiff’s perspective on timing and crisis: he says the 2013 book predicted the current situation and that gold and silver have risen significantly—gold up, silver up substantially. He believes the price moves signal a major warning of a financial or economic crisis, comparing it to the subprime warning before the 2008 crisis. He asserts this time the warning concerns the U.S. government sovereign credit and a potential dollar crisis and U.S. Treasury crisis, possibly unfolding next year. - Connection to global debt and the dollar: Schiff explains that much debt is sustainable because the U.S. dollar serves as the global reserve currency, enabling continued spending. He notes foreign central banks buying gold instead of U.S. Treasuries, moving out of dollars into gold, and cites U.S. intervention in oil-rich Venezuela as part of broader moves to keep oil prices down. He argues that the dollar’s reserve status is eroding, and a meaningful decline in the dollar relative to other currencies could soon impact consumer prices and interest rates, leading to higher costs for Americans. - Impact on the average person: Schiff asserts that the reserve currency status has long supported a standard of living that relies on importing goods paid for with dollars created “out of thin air.” As the dollar collapses and the world shifts away from the dollar, the dollars earned and saved by ordinary people will buy less, with price spikes across goods and services. He suggests a future scenario where prices rise dramatically while wages do not keep pace, giving an example of a hamburger potentially rising from $15 to $30 or $50, and services versus goods diverging in price movement. - Preparation and investment stance: Schiff emphasizes that gold and silver have performed well since the turn of the century, outperforming the Dow in real terms. He argues for moving wealth into real money rather than paper assets and notes, in general terms, opportunities in mining stocks as a hedge, including juniors and mid-tier producers. He references the broader strategy of diversifying out of U.S. stocks, bonds, and dollars to protect wealth during what he describes as a coming real crisis; he stresses focusing on real assets rather than relying on the dollar. - Final remarks: Schiff reiterates that the crisis is coming and that some Americans should consider protecting wealth through precious metals and mining opportunities, while the hosts acknowledge the outlook and thank him for the insights.

The speaker discusses the current state of the Federal Reserve note and argues that paper currency always crashes. They suggest transitioning to Treasury dollars, which Ronald Reagan had printed. They claim that the Federal Reserve does not have the gold that should back the US dollar. The speaker warns that if the country remains with the Federal Reserve note, it will lose its military might and standing. They mention that many countries are no longer using the dollar in international trade. The speaker also talks about their experience at Yale Law School and how the World Bank has been hijacked by a group called the Network of global corporate control. They accuse this group of state capture and usury. They explain that they have not been removed because they have followed the rule of law.

High taxes in the U.S. are often blamed for financial issues, but the real problem lies in how the government is funded. While taxes are high, they don't truly finance the government. Instead, the government relies on treasury bonds, primarily purchased by the Federal Reserve, which prints money to buy them. This creates an illusion of funding through taxes, but in reality, the government is financed by money printed out of thin air. If people understood this, confidence in the dollar could collapse, leading to severe consequences for Western civilization. Urgent policy changes are needed to prevent a financial crisis similar to past mistakes. There’s still time to act before the situation worsens.

The speaker reflects on a recent conversation with Tucker and says there were things left unsaid that they would have liked to address more directly. They wish they had been more critical of current fiscal and monetary policy and had warned about a coming crisis more clearly. They feel the discussion didn’t go deep enough in this area, perhaps due to the direction of the conversation. They note that the interview spent a lot of time on gold, but not enough on why they believe gold will rise significantly in the future. There was also discussion of Bitcoin, but not as much focus as they would have preferred. The speaker spent a lot of time talking about the banking system and wanted to get out there the story of the bank, and to highlight corruption in the US government. However, they believe what is most relevant to the public is the corruption that will destroy their standard of living and the lies being told daily by the media, the government, the Trump administration, and the Federal Reserve. The speaker points to Donald Trump’s approval ratings on the economy as a notable indicator, describing them as at a record low. They argue this is significant because, despite the economy being touted as a strength, the public perceives otherwise. The speaker asserts that people know the economy is bad because of their own experiences, regardless of what is said on television. They reference the personal financial pressure that many face: a stack of bills they cannot pay, little to no savings, rising prices, and no relief in sight. In summary, the speaker expresses regret over not conveying a more critical view of economic policy and a stronger warning about an impending crisis, and laments that the conversation did not fully address why assets like gold should rise, or delve into Bitcoin as much as desired. They emphasize that the most consequential issues for the public are the alleged corruption affecting living standards and the harsh economic realities faced by ordinary people, which they believe contrast with the political and media narratives being presented. The overall message highlights a disconnect between what is publicly claimed about the economy and what people experience in their daily finances.
