That's up by about one 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: hundred dollars from last year. And while we're spending more 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: this year, consumer credit card debt has reached a record 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: high of one trillion, eighty billion dollars in twenty twenty three. 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: We can attribute some of that debt to families trying 14 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: to a ends meet during this past year of record inflation. 15 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: As we look at in twenty twenty four, with the 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: presidential primaries coming up soon, the state of the economy 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: is one of the top issues on voters' minds. Today, 18 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: we're going to discuss the economy and more and why 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: it's so important to diversify your investment portfolio. So I'm 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: really pleased to welcome back my guests. Charles Thorngren, founder 21 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: and CEO of Legacy Precious Metals. Charles, welcome. Thank you 22 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: for joining me again in Newts World and for sort 23 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: of helping launch our discussion about the holiday season. 24 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. It's always a pleasure to be here. 25 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. 26 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: You know, I thought we might start with JP Morgan Chase, 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: CEO Jamie Diamond's remarks from the New York Times Deal 28 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: Book Summit on November twenty ninth, and he's talking with 29 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Andrew Sorkin of CNBC. 30 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: Say, well, corporate profits are up. 31 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: This is up. 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, corporate profits up because people are spending a lot 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 3: of money where they get the money the government gave 34 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: it to them. Well, of course profits are up. You know, 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: when they stop spending money, corporate profits will go down. 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: So I'm a little worried that we're in that little 37 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: bit of sugar high and we don't understand it. 38 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: What do you think about the sugar high reference? And 39 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: how do you see the economy. 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: It's a perfect analogy. And leave it to Jamie Diamond 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: to kind of break it down the way people can understand. 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: When you have that much free money in an economy, 43 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: it gets spent, and it doesn't get spent wisely, and 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: it doesn't get spent efficiently, and you run into the 45 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: situation to where now we are dealing with that supply 46 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: being gone. So how do these corporations who have been 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: able to run basically on free money now cut back 48 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: and actually try to operate on a normal budgeting schedule 49 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: under normal account terms. And that's where the difficulty comes from, 50 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: because they're not going to be able to make that transition. 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: On top of a time when that money disappears and 52 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: the economy startings to titan we're going to run into 53 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: that recession on top of these companies having to come 54 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: off of all of that free money. So you're going 55 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: to not only see the profitability go down, but you're 56 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: going to see it really shutter some of the smaller 57 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: companies that aren't able to manage that kind of transition. 58 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: That's the thing that I'm worried about the most. 59 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: So you think there could be a genuine credit squeeze 60 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: as they bring down. 61 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: The liquidity, Absolutely, I think they'll have to be because 62 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: as the money is less prevalent flowing to the banks. 63 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: They now have to safeguard their investments. They're not as free, 64 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: so that helps to create that credit squeeze that we're 65 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: going to see. Are you qualified for it? Am I 66 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: willing to take the risk on your company? And we're 67 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: going to see that be a resounding no. 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: So you know, the next Federal Reserve meeting is going 69 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: to be held December twelfth and thirteenth. The last meeting 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: was held October thirty first and November first, and the 71 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: previous meeting notes, which were released in November first, it says, 72 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: quote recent indicators suggest that economic activity expanded at a 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: strong pace in the third quarter. Job gains have moderated 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: since earlier in the year but remained strong, and the 75 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated. Now it 76 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: seems to me that it's possible that they're saying that 77 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: they have not actually quite brought inflation under control. What 78 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: do you think the Fed's going to do? 79 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: I know what they should do, but will they do that? 80 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: That's the question. And inflation isn't under control yet, just 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: because we've had a couple of good months where we 82 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 2: haven't seen increases, it doesn't mean inflation's gone. We're still 83 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: dealing with a number much higher than we like to 84 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 2: run through our program. The FED has always said want 85 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: two percent. We're nowhere close. Because it's come down a 86 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: little bit doesn't mean that things are fixed. And when 87 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: you say things like the unemployment rate has remained low, 88 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: that's part of that equation too. The FED has come 89 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: out and Shaman Palace said it many times, they were 90 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: tasked with not just inflation but keeping employment high. So 91 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 2: those two things are hard to do. When you begin 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: to go through a runaway inflation every period. The typical 93 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: way to slow that down is to increase the rate 94 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: interest rates, but it's also to let less money in 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: the system so people aren't freely spending. It's very difficult 96 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: to say we want full employment and we want to 97 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: bring inflation down. 98 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: In that sense. The Humphrey Hawkins Act, which created that 99 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: dual assignment, is probably a mistake because is the Fed's 100 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: job to protect the value of the dollar and seek 101 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: price stability, or is the Fed's job to maximize economic 102 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: growth and jobs even at the cost of inflation and 103 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: prices instability? And it seems to me that they're constantly 104 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: zigzagging back and forth trying to meet two very very 105 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: different assignments. 106 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely, either one of those is difficult enough to manage 107 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: by itself. But this comes into big government. Big government 108 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: trying to dictate more and more of people's lives, and 109 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: part of that is trying to dictate the way business 110 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: operates as well. We know that as a country, we 111 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 2: run better when the government's less involved in the day 112 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: to day and that's where it gets fuzzy. And that's 113 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: why that act really didn't get the attention that it 114 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: should have, because it was clearly the government saying we 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: want the Federal Reserve to start monitoring business activity. We 116 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: want them to be involved in the business cycle in 117 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: ways that they've never been before and that they shouldn't be. 118 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: When you look at all of this, how much we 119 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: be concerned that you could have a dual crunch where 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: people are already deeply in debt and now jobs start 121 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: to tighten up and the Fed starts to tighten up 122 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: on the money supply. Couldn't that lead to a significant 123 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: problem in terms of people's ability to sustain their debt. 124 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and typically you don't see that credit card rush 125 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: until you're deep into the recession already or on the 126 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: way out. And I've always looked at as kind of 127 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: a leading indicator that the recession is working its way 128 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: through the issue. Having it before the recession is fully 129 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 2: felt and called out means that we're starting way behind already. 130 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: And the thing that worries me tremendously about that is 131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: that is how people are surviving now. But it's also 132 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: going to lead to the next crisis that we see 133 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: that will come up in housing, because that credit card 134 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: won't be there to save people when the race get 135 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: crazy and housing becomes a bigger issue, which is all 136 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: part of that cycle. And I know we look at 137 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: how and say, well, interest rates are kind of coming down, 138 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: won't that save that? That only saves that if the 139 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: employment stays up. But we know what happens when the 140 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: recession comes, when this contradiction happens in the economy, that 141 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: jobs will go away, so people won't have that fallback, 142 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: that safety money. And this is part of the cycle 143 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: of Americans not really saving like they should, and that 144 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: credit card number being so high is an indication of 145 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: that the savings weren't there. They had to go to 146 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: borrow money to survive. 147 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: With the rise in the interest rates leading to much 148 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: more expensive mortgages than we've seen in the last ten 149 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: or twelve years, then the price of housing has begun 150 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: to come down because people literally can't afford to buy 151 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: the house they used to want to buy because they 152 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: can't afford the mortgage. Does all that suggest to you 153 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: that there's going to be a tightening up of the 154 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: housing market. 155 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: I believe so. We see it throughout history. When you 156 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: have these elevations and interest rates, the price of houses 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 2: get so out of whack to what the average person makes, 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: it leaves you in a unique situation. And we saw 159 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: this in the last housing collapse that we had in 160 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight and nine and through twenty eleven. 161 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: The bad part is that with the market being so 162 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 2: upside down and houses being so expensive, when they begin 163 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 2: to lose value, who takes that loss. The last time 164 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: we dealt with it, you had people giving back their 165 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: homes to the banks, and that led to a bank 166 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: crisis because now they have all of this unsold property 167 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: on their hands, and banks are not in the business 168 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: of property, they're in the business of loans. So holding 169 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: real estate, the actual physical property, having the bank own. 170 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: It leads to a very troubling incident on their balance sheet. 171 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: They now have a physical property instead of a loan. 172 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: How do you value that property, how do you manage 173 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: that property? It turns into a very vicious cycle. And 174 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 2: we saw that, so, you know, looking ahead, that's something 175 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: to be concerned about. What does the housing market do 176 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: on top of everything else that's going on, You know, 177 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: this is that leading problem. 178 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: One of the things I'm proud of stof was that 179 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: when I was Speaker, we balance the budget for four 180 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: consecutive years for the only time in your lifetime, and 181 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: we actually were in the process of paying down the 182 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: national debt when I left office. And I noticed that 183 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: in a recent Yahoo financed Hipsos poll done in October, 184 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: two thirds of the voters sixty six percent believe the 185 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: national debt has become a major problem with threatens the economy. 186 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Eighty eight percent of Republicans, forty four percent of Democrats, 187 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: and sixty seven percent of independence believe that. I mean 188 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: that strikes me as a healthy shift of people begin 189 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: to realize that all of that's borrowing, both by individuals 190 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: but also by their own government, is in fact dangerous, 191 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: and that we had to move back towards a balanced budget. 192 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: Does that sort of fit your values? 193 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely? And this is kind of a key tenant to 194 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: what we believe as a company is to protect yourself 195 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: because this kind of debt and this kind of runaway 196 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: spending by the government puts everything at risk. And when 197 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: we look at what we do with precious metals, that 198 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: is that hedge against that. So this is why we 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: tell people, when you see these kind of things happening, 200 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: you want to make sure you're protected. You understand how 201 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: difficult it is. Like you said, the last time we 202 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: had a ballot budget, we have to go back to 203 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: when you're helping run this country. So it's not easy 204 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: to get out of that debt. And this debt we're 205 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 2: in right now is exponentially bigger than what you had 206 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: to deal with. So how long does that take to fix? 207 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: This is the. 208 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: Things that we begin to worry about it as Americans, 209 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: But no one's talking about how it's going to be fixed. 210 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: There's going to be pain points. That's the only way 211 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 2: it works. And we have to say we as Americans, 212 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: we're going to vote into people who will do the 213 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: things that we need get the job done. And we 214 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: will go through the pain to write the ship, because 215 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: that's what it's going to take everyone involved. 216 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: Throughout history, there are clearer moments that define our nation's path, 217 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: and now you can own a piece of that history. 218 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: I am thrilled to announce the Newt Gingrich Contract with 219 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: America Coin from Legacy Precious Metals. My limited edition one 220 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: ounce silver coin commemorates the historic victory in nineteen ninety 221 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: four when the Republican Party under my leadership took control 222 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: of Congress. The Newt Gingriish Contract with America Coin also 223 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: symbolizes the transformative political platform that led to landmark achievements 224 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: like the overhaul of the welfare system and the Balanced 225 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Budget Act. This holiday season, give the gift of history. 226 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: The Newt Gingrich Contract with America Coin is more than 227 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: an investment, is a tribute to honest government and to America. 228 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Available to order right now by calling a six six 229 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: four eight four for zero four to three.

That's Newt gingrichsilvercoin 232 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: dot com. One of the signals that people are worried 233 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: about the future, and that people don't feel very comfortable 234 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: with the current monetary policy. The price of gold reached 235 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: an all time record high on Sunday, December third, at 236 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: twenty one hundred dollars an ounce. Now fell bound a 237 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: little bit the next day. But when you start getting 238 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: up in that spot gold level of twenty one hundred 239 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: dollars an ounce, considering that as late as the late 240 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties it was thirty five dollars by law, that's 241 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: really pretty dramatic indication of sort of a flight to 242 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: safety and a fear about the future. I mean, would 243 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: that be an accurate way to think about gold at time? 244 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: Twenty one hundred dollars. 245 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: It's very accurate because that is the job of gold, 246 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: That is the job of silver. When you see those 247 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: elevated prices, you want to understand there's a common thinking 248 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: out there that, oh, it's at us all time high. 249 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: It's true, you know it's up there in those elevated levels. 250 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 2: But what we want to consider when we look at 251 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: that is the value of that gold now compared to 252 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: what it was when we had a balanced budget. Right, 253 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: So it's moved up dramatically, but not near as much 254 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: as our debt. Our debt is so significant that the 255 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: increase in gold doesn't cover the amount of additional debt 256 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: we need to service as a nation. So it does 257 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: move in those reasons, and it is why it has 258 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: moved up. That's correct, But it has a lot further 259 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: to go based on what it's going to take to 260 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: fix this economy. And that's the thing people want to 261 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: keep in mind. It may seem expensive now, but it's 262 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: nowhere near as expensive as it's going to be because 263 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: we have trillions and trillions of dollars that need to 264 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: be cleaned up in system. So it's really important to 265 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: understand that. So, yeah, we're moving to safety, but remember 266 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: we've just started. This market will be a market that 267 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: lasts for many, many years. It could be more than 268 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: a decade before we see it begin to pull back 269 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: with any real strength, because it's going to take some 270 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: time to fix the scenarios that we're living in right now. 271 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: I recently ran across the fact which I didn't know 272 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: that Congress by law when they went off the thirty 273 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: five dollars per round standard day by law set in 274 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a forty two or forty three dollars 275 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: standard per rounds, and we still score all of the 276 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: gold owned by the federal government at forty three dollars, 277 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: even though on the market it's now around twenty one hundred. 278 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: And the US government owns a pretty good bit of gold, 279 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: which if you then valued it back up to twenty 280 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: one hundred, is a very significant amount of money that 281 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: could be used to offset a variety of things. People 282 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: tend to look at gold, and I know every time 283 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: we've talked you also think there's a significant role for silver, 284 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: and the silver is going to play a big part 285 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: of the future. Could you talk about how you think 286 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: about gold and silver together. 287 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: Gold and silver, To put it in simple terms, it's peanut, 288 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: butter and jelly. They belong together. They're made for each other. Right, 289 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: Gold has that allure, It has the higher price per ounce. 290 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: So when you're dealing in transactions of larger dollar amounts, 291 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: gold makes a lot of sense just because of the 292 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: storage requirements needed. When you start dealing in millions of 293 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: dollars of the metals, you know, a million dollars of 294 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: gold can be stored in a shoe box. A million 295 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: dollars in silver, we're going to take over your entire garage. Okay, 296 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: So from that point of view, you'll see why large 297 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: institutions and banks and central banks talk about gold and 298 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: not silver necessarily. But we as average people should be 299 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: looking at silver because it is so undervalued. It's affordable. 300 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: If you look at standard pricing and standard pricing ratios, 301 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: silver right now should be much closer to seventy dollars 302 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: an ounce than the twenty two to twenty three dollars 303 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: an ounce that it is now. That valuation is important 304 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: because that will eventually catch up. We have to look 305 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 2: at silver for very specific things. And you know we're 306 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 2: talking an electric world now, right. None of that happens 307 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 2: without silver. Silver is so vital to all of these 308 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: green technologies and every solar panel and all these electric vehicles, 309 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: and transferring away from fossil fuels takes a lot of silver. 310 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: It takes other elements as well, but silver is definitely 311 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: one of them. And every electronic instrument you own, and 312 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: every phone and every device that has silver in it. 313 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: So not only do you have the economic factors for silver, 314 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 2: you have the industrial factors for silver. If you're not 315 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: sure if you should be buying silver, I don't say 316 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: this often, but I'm going to say this, Trust me, 317 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: you should absolutely be buying silver. You will thank me 318 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: in a couple of years when you see what silver 319 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: does because it has no choice but to move up dramatically. 320 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: From your standpoint, I guess because silver is much more 321 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: intensely used as an industrial metal than gold is, there's 322 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: a much bigger potential demand in the market. Just at 323 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: a practical level. You see that as a significant long term. 324 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: Play absolutely, because we're not becoming less advanced in technology. 325 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: It seems like every year we become more and more 326 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: dependent on our device, on technology, on an instrument to 327 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: do things for us, and every one of those devices 328 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 2: is using silver in some form or fashion. So when 329 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 2: you look at that and you realize that like cars, 330 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: for instance, they're using substantially more silver now than they 331 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: have in the past. Every car has a computer, most 332 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: of them have some form of electric equivalent to it. 333 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 2: That's all silver, and a lot of that doesn't get 334 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: refined and come out and get recycled. So that's a 335 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: big issue. It's a scenario to where the demand on 336 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: silver is so great because of the multiple streams of 337 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: value to it, that it's going to have to move 338 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: up dramatically. It has no choice. 339 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: I thought it was such a clever thing to talk 340 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: about peanut butter and jelly and relate them to gold 341 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: and silver. I've decided to add in that platinum could 342 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: be the marshmallow of anybody who's ever had a marshmallow 343 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: and peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We don't talk much 344 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: about platinum. Why is that right? 345 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: Platum it's a great metal too. The reason we don't 346 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: talk about platinum as much is when currencies were being 347 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: created around the world and we began a lot of 348 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: trade throughout the world, it was gold and silver. There 349 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: wasn't a platinum that was recognized, so it was never 350 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: really established as a currency. Whereas gold and silver have 351 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: always been a currency. They were currency long before they 352 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 2: were jewelry per se, Right, so the world thinks in 353 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: those terms. And platinum it's a much more difficult precious 354 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: metal to deal with. To refine, it takes a lot 355 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: more effort, a lot higher heat. The applications that it has. 356 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 2: It has some graded applications and used to be in 357 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: every catalytic converter there was platinum, but then it got 358 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: too expensive and the cars got better, so they didn't 359 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: need it as much, so it moved into the world 360 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: of health where they use it on a lot of 361 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: devices that go intravenously. They have tips for all of 362 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: these capeters and things, and a lot of it's used there. 363 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: So as important as it is, it just doesn't have 364 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: the demand and it's not recognized as a currency yet. 365 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 2: It probably never will be because it's so difficult to 366 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 2: deal with recycling. It is almost impossible because of the 367 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: high heats that are required. It makes it very cost 368 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: and effective to do. 369 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: So. 370 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: This is why while platinum is a great metal to 371 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: invest in, it's a great way to diversify in your 372 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 2: metal portfolio. It shouldn't be the one to punch that 373 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 2: gold and silver are. It shouldn't be looked at. But 374 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: you want to make sure that you focus on your 375 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: gold in your silver first, and then if there's additional funds, 376 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: you look at the platinum. 377 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: This is sufficiently complicated. I think it's important for people 378 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: to realize that one of the major purposes at Legacy 379 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: Precious Metals is to simply help people think through their 380 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: investment portfolio and think through the different ways in which 381 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: they could move forward. Could you talk a little bit 382 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: about how you approach dealing with people at legacy precious 383 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: medals and how you try to organize the information for 384 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: them in a way that is to their advantage. 385 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: We want to help people protect themselves from what's going 386 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: on in the world, and everyone has a different variation 387 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 2: of what they need, so there is no one size 388 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: fits all, and that's important and it's good right because 389 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: each person has their own individual need. What we want 390 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: to be able to do is spend some time with you, 391 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: talk with you, give you some information. Let's figure out 392 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: what situation you're in so that we can begin to 393 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: talk about it scenario that would work for each person, 394 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 2: because not everyone has the same needs. Retirement dates different, 395 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: How much money do you need to live on, how 396 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: much are you giving to your heirs. There's so many 397 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 2: different little nuances in each portfolio that it's important to 398 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: know that the grand parameters are Metals are there for diversity. 399 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: Gold and silver are for your protection. When you have 400 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: a little bit more, you look at some platinum and 401 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: things like that. That's your foundation, but everything on top 402 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: of that is your home. That's where we tailor it 403 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: to your specific needs so that your investment will accomplish 404 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: what you need to have it accomplish. It will give 405 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: you the protection you need, it'll give you the growth 406 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: that you need in a way that works for you. 407 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 2: And more importantly too, when you take all of that 408 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: in there in a way that you understand that's important 409 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: to us that you spend the time with us so 410 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: that we can show you the options and that you 411 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 2: understand what they're doing. 412 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: Let's shore our listeners that you do have an entire 413 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: customer information center that if they go to eight sixty 414 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: six four eight four four to oh four three, and 415 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: I'll repeat that, eight sixty six four eight four four 416 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 1: to oh four three, that that's really an information center 417 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: for people to be able to share what they're trying 418 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: to accomplish and to ask the kind of questions about 419 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: the precious metals market and about how it fits into 420 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: a portfolio. And people can just do that without any 421 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: kind of obligation or any kind of risk. Is that right? 422 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: Absolutely? And it's so important for people to know that 423 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: we're not going to hound you. There's no high pressure 424 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 2: sales tactics. We share information because that's what matters the most, 425 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: getting the information that each person needs so that they 426 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: can make an informed decision for themselves, and that's one 427 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: of the great things about it. It makes us so 428 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 2: different from everyone else out there in this industry. We're 429 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 2: not just a bunch of salespeople on the phone. We 430 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: take more of the role of as an advisor to 431 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 2: show you what options are there, but more importantly to 432 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 2: answer questions. Because again, if we can go back and 433 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: have each individual understand why they've done what they've done, 434 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: and why they're invested the way they're invested, it gives 435 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: a peace of mind, because that's important. At the end 436 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: of the day. You should be comfortable with what your 437 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: investments are doing. If you don't know, that brings worry. 438 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: We don't want people to be worried. Let's remove the 439 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: fear from the investing and know that no matter what happens, 440 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: you have a plan in place that gives you protection. 441 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: That's important now as a part of that, one of 442 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: the things that's always interesting is because you are dealing 443 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: with physical commodities like gold or like silver, but people 444 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: actually have I think interestingly diverse ways of dealing with it. 445 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Can you talk to us for a second about what 446 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: the different options are. If somebody does want to go 447 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: in and buy either gold or silver. 448 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: In terms of having it delivered, absolutely, there's many ways. 449 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: I'll touch on the three big ways. People can put 450 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: metals in an IRA. That's either an IRA that you 451 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 2: you have already and you want to transfer over and 452 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: put metals into it. That's an IRA that you can 453 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 2: set up. It could be an old four oh one K. 454 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: If you're in the military or reserving a government, you 455 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: have a TSP plan that can be moved as well. 456 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: That's what we call retirement money, right, so that can 457 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 2: be protected. But then you also have medals for home 458 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: delivery if you'd like to have them in the house, 459 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 2: that's available. If you'd like medals that aren't in an IRA, 460 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: but you don't want to necessarily have them in the 461 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: house you don't feel safe with them there, we can 462 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: help you get a vault where your medals are stored. 463 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: In a vault, you know they're safe. So we have 464 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 2: everything available as far as precious metals goes for you 465 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 2: to be able to either take delivery, have them stored, 466 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 2: keep them in a qualified retirement account, many ways to 467 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: deal with it, and we have all the options available. 468 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 2: So it's important to know that you have those options 469 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: because some people do want it at home and some 470 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 2: people don't, and the ability to do both is an 471 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: important thing, and we make that work for our customers 472 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: so that they have that protection at all times. They 473 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: don't feel comfortable with in the house. They don't have 474 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: to worry about it. They know it's secured and it's safe, 475 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: but they have that physical protection. They want it on hand, 476 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: they want to take it out of cocktail parties and 477 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: show everybody. They can do that too. 478 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: But if they don't want to take it out and 479 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: show it to everybody, Basically, you give them a certificate 480 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: and you hold the metal in a secure place until 481 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: they decide they want it. I mean, is that accurate? 482 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: Almost. What we do is we set up a vault 483 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: that each customer owns a spot in that vault, so 484 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 2: we help them set it up, but it's in their name, 485 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: so they always have ultimate control. We help them do 486 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: it absolutely, but more importantly, that's their metals in their 487 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: vault space, so they have access to it whenever they need. 488 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: I've always been a strong believer in the importance of 489 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: resting wisely. That's why I've personally invested in Legacy Precious 490 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: Medals At Legacy precious medals.

We've been talking a little 512 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: bit now and we've gotten to great detail many times, 513 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: and we've talked about what your term as Speaker did 514 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: for the country and how balancing the budget was so important, 515 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 2: and you know, it kind of struck me because this 516 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: is what we're dealing with right now. We have all 517 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: of these things that are not in the places they 518 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: should be. We don't have a flow of the government 519 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: the way that it should And I was thinking, remember 520 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 2: back when, you know, when Newton was doing it, and 521 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: Newt took the hard road and got everyone on board. 522 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't just one side across the board, 523 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: got everyone to say, let's focus on Americans for a minute. 524 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: Let's give them what they need. And I said, you 525 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: know what we should do. Let's talk with Newt. Let's 526 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: create a new Gingridge coin. Let's celebrate that contract with America. 527 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: Let's celebrate the fact that you went out there and 528 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: did what the country needed and thought of the people first. 529 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: And at first it just started as a little idea 530 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: and I was talking with a development team. I'm thinking, 531 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 2: I'd really like to do this. What do you think 532 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 2: we should do it? And the answer was we should 533 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: absolutely do it. Let's talk with Newt and see if 534 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: he's on board. And I remember the shock when we 535 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: brought it to you, and I think it took a 536 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 2: little bit for you to have it sink in and 537 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: realize that we were talking about putting you on a 538 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: silver coin. I think you're a little shy about it 539 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: at first, to be honest, but I think it came 540 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 2: around and that was good, and we've got up with 541 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 2: something I think is amazing. 542 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: What really sold me was the fact that one side 543 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: of the coin. You actually managed to put the contract 544 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: on one side of the coin, so it's really kind 545 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: of a contract with America Coin with Newt Gingridge on it. 546 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: I could live with that, And I think historically it's 547 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: very cool because you know, it was the first time 548 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: Republicans who had taken control in forty years. As I 549 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: said earlier, it's the only time in our lifetime that 550 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: we balanced the budget for four years. We did get 551 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: welfare reform done, we did a lot of stuff like that, 552 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: and so in that sense, I think it was a 553 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: unique moment in history, and to have a truly unique 554 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: silver coin to celebrate it and reflect it. I'm very 555 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: touched I have to say when I saw the first 556 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: coin that came out, I was pretty emotional because it's 557 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: not something you ever think will happen in your lifetime. 558 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: You guys did great, and it's available for order for 559 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: Christmas and beyond at Nut gingrichsilvercoin dot Com. I can't 560 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: tell you how much I am grateful to Legacy Precious 561 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: Metals and to you Charles for having come up with it, 562 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: persevered on it, talked me into it, and then I 563 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: had no idea how many different complexities there were to 564 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: actually casting a coin and how much artistry, and I 565 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: mean a lot of stuff goes into a coin. So 566 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the Nut Gingrid Silver Coin. 567 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 2: I thought it was important in the memorialize the event. 568 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: The contract with America was important. We still love your 569 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 2: humbleness about it. You were a driving factor to make 570 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: that happen. In my opinion, no new Gangridge in office, 571 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: no contract with America. I know you'll disagree, so just 572 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: allow me that levity there to say that. 573 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: You can say it, I won't, And I think it's 574 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: important for the future of the country that we get 575 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 1: back to the kind of positive, methodical reforms that actually 576 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: work that we did in that period. So in that sense, 577 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: the coin's a great reminder it has been done, it 578 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: can be done, and we need to do it again 579 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: in my judgment. And as I said, people can go 580 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: to newganngrishsilvercoin dot com and they'll see what we're talking about.
