She's a terrific staffer with Johnny mcintee and 43 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: the team over there in the first Trump administration and 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: she's did a terrific job and now she's over Text Network. 45 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: Got this for the worm Posse doctor Thayer, I want 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: to pull the camera back for a second of to 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: ask you on this Saturday morning, given everything we got 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: going on militarily, you've seen the methodical way that the 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: sendcom is going down this target set to make sure 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: what President Trump calls unconditional surrender. He has now been 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: a little more precise and says when they don't have 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: the ability militarily to either project power on their own 53 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: people or project power against their neighbors, that's what he 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: thinks is unconditional strended when they don't have the ability 55 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: to do it anymore. But the concern a lot of 56 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: people have is with the Russian supposed to given targeted information. 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: You got the CCP out there. This is now going 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: You know there have been certain missiles launched towards Turkey 59 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: and Cyprus aser Beijon I think up near the Caspian Sea. 60 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: Also the golf is being hit. You have people concerned 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: is this metastasizing into even forming up with Gaza in 62 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: the Ukraine as a broader part of the kinetic part 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: of the Third World warsaw. 64 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: Great to join you, it might be My concern would 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: be this that when he talks about unconditional surrender. And 66 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: Caroline Levitt yesterday on Friday said that when the President 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: determines that Ron no longer poses that threat, that's when 68 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: under unconditional surrender will take place. 69 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: But hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on right there, 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: hang on right there, hang on right there. I want 71 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: to be very precise when Caroline came out and said 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: that poses that threat, to find that threat because the 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: president said it, and then Caroline said, I think we 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: use that as a benchmark when he said no longer, 75 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: they no longer can have that threat. What does she 76 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: mean by that? 77 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: Well, there's there's an element of ambiguity there. I think 78 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 4: what is what she's saying is this. My interpretation is this, 79 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: when they no longer have the military capabilities to harm 80 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: their neighbors or to harm their people, that's when unconditional 81 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 4: surrender will take place. And she envisioned the campaign lasting 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: four to six weeks in her statements on Friday. So 83 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: my concern is this that you take a war against 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 4: the theocracy, which is a limited war now, and we're 85 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 4: turning it into a potentially into a total war against 86 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: the Persian people, which a different type of war. So 87 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: the war against the theocracy has great support in Iran, 88 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: among the Persian people and among the ethnic minorities that 89 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 4: live in Iran, principally the Azaris, who are about sixteen 90 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 4: percent of the population, and the Kurds, which are about 91 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: ten percent of the population. So you can see there 92 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: that about one out of every four people living in 93 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 4: Iran is either a Zari or Curd. If we say 94 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 4: unconditional warfare against Iran, so that they no longer have 95 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 4: the ability to harm their neighbors or to harm the population. 96 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: My fear is that this turns this into a national 97 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 4: element begins the surface, and the Persian people will begin 98 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: to unite around the theocracy, which is what we don't want. 99 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: About six out of every ten people living in Iran 100 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: is Persian uh, and so that's a concern. The air campaign, 101 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 4: the military campaign more broadly, does seem to be on 102 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: track to a treating Obviously. 103 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: Has Hang I want to go through. You laid out 104 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: five elements the other they five elements of this campaign. 105 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: I want to do an update, and I agree with 106 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: you one hundred percent. If the Persian people this turns 107 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: into a nationalistic that it's about the nation of Persia, 108 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: these people will dig in. Even some people are potentially 109 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: allies of ours, and that's why we're it's a very 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: thin line, and especially on some of these bombing campaigns 111 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: that Sencom as the execution Department of Policy is really 112 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: under pressure here and that's why maybe not having all 113 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: diminitions that we originally thought we're going to have, because 114 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: we're getting into Ukraine, they've been in Gaza, you know, 115 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: some of the some of these precision instruments, when you're 116 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 1: talking about it, I'm I have to use gravity bombs. Well, 117 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: even with some precision guidance on gravity bombs, they're still 118 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: generally it's generally gravity and that puts only more pressure 119 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: on Sencom. And you're right, you don't want to segue 120 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: in to have a fight with the Persian people as 121 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: a nationalist entity. Then these folks could dig in. I mean, 122 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: it's ninety million people six and so what fifty five 123 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: million Persians, some of whom hate the regime, A lot 124 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: of them that are underneath a zorastaurants, right, they hate it. 125 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: But if it has to be, you know, it's an 126 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: ancient and proud people. So if it doesn't, you know, 127 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: if you turn it to that, you can have a 128 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: long tough fight in hand. Now you laid out five 129 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: elements the other day of how you grade the military 130 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: campaign from sencom Let's go through that and see what 131 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: you're great is today. 132 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: Certainly well, the underlying point is that this is a 133 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 4: traditional warfare, right, this is like Muhammad Ali fighting Joe Fraser. 134 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 5: We're pounding on the Iranian. 135 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: And so what we need to recognize Iran really in 136 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: this campaign there's five it's a five front war. The 137 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: first front really is the missile front, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles. 138 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 5: The UAV drone campaign. 139 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 4: And here there does seem to be progress in a 140 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: tridding that is grinding down due to their own launches 141 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 4: as well as what Israel and the United States have been. 142 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 5: Able to destroy. 143 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 4: Second is the air war, and the air war seems 144 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: to be very successful from our perspective. The corridors have 145 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 4: been cut into Iran, the shoulders have been widened, and 146 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: there's been successful destruction of enemy air defenses. So they 147 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 4: do seem to be suppressed, although there's always the possibility, 148 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 4: of course, that they're lying in wait and they ambush 149 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 4: American bombers or American aircraft or Allied aircraft the third 150 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: front really is the naval war straight up hor moves 151 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 4: as well as more broadly, and here we have some 152 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 4: concern of course, Steve, as you stressed in the last 153 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: few days on War Room, that Iran is using a 154 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 4: variety of measures to intimidate, which is to coerce through 155 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 4: the threat of attacks, actual attacks and the threat of 156 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 4: more attacks to come, naval traffic, civilian traffic in the 157 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: Gulf and in the Strait. 158 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 5: And then we have the ground front. 159 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: Fourthly, the ground front would be purportedly led by the Kurds, 160 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 4: potentially with backing from the US intelligence community, from Israel's 161 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: intelligence community, and potentially other actors as well, to serve 162 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: as the boots on the ground as a ground force 163 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 4: that would be able to seize and hold territory within 164 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: Iran that might be used as bastions, or that might 165 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: be used to project additional attacks ground attacks against Iran. 166 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: And then for the fifth and final would be this 167 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 4: the front is also the fifth front is proxies the 168 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: fact that the war is expanding, and this is shown 169 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 4: most clearly in Lebanon, where you have a proxy war 170 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: between Hesba Law and Israel. 171 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: Although with Iran strong support for terrorism. 172 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 4: We can see that proxy attacks occur, for example, the loan, 173 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: the attack in Austin, Texas that we've had that we 174 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 4: might see other attacks and sustained attacks due to the 175 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 4: fact that there are Iranian sleepercells operating in the United States. 176 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 4: So when we think about the war, the kinetic aspect 177 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: of the war right leaving inside the economic aspect of it, 178 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 4: leaving aside the political aspect of it, we see those 179 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 4: five fronts going on simultaneously today, and there's variation in success. 180 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 4: The US has been very successful in sinking Iran's navy 181 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 4: and keeping ARMUS open. We can see that the fifth Fleet, though, 182 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: is going to be tasked with a very great responsibility 183 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 4: to ensure that civilian traffic is able to transit the 184 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 4: straight The missile campaign, again as a result of Iranian 185 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: launches and Israeli US strikes, has been successful at destroying 186 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: any fixed launcher, but also finding what they call the taels, 187 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: the transporter or rector launcher vehicles that would actually carry 188 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: ballistic missiles. But that's an ongoing campaign and it's quite 189 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 4: reasonable to suspect that Iran is husbanding some missiles. They 190 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 4: launched a lot at the outset of the war, and 191 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 4: then you see a fall off because of the success 192 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: of the air campaign, but also because of Iran's desire 193 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 4: strategically to keep some of those ballistic missiles and their 194 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 4: tails in reserve so that they can be launched to 195 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 4: lengthen the war, to draw out the war, and for 196 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: Israel and the United States never to be sure that 197 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: we've had we've been able to. 198 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 5: Destroy all of their ballistic missiles. 199 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: Likewise, the air war, their air defenses seem to be 200 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: greatly weakened as a result of the cyber actions that 201 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 4: we've likely taken in conjunction with Israel and the kinetic 202 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 4: actions that we've taken with Israel and the US. But 203 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 4: we always worry about essentially a surface to air missile, 204 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: an ambush of an aircraft. The ground war, Steve, we 205 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 4: worry about that a lot because of the possibility if 206 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 4: you're using Kurds, that's going to cause a Persian nationalist reaction. 207 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 4: If you're using Kurds to break down the door on 208 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: the ground and to seize a chunk of Iran, the 209 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: Persians are the Persian people are going to react to that, 210 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: I would suspect vociferously. And that's going to feed support 211 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: for the regime, and that's not an outcome that we want. 212 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 4: And then, of course the proxy front will be ongoing. 213 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: As long as this war is right, we will always 214 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: be worried about a terrorist attack in the United States 215 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: on American soil, or against the US military targets abroad, 216 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: or against allies of. 217 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: A Suncom goes down what I refer to as the 218 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: punch list or the target set, however you want to 219 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: describe it. And now you can answer this after the break. 220 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure were going to keep you for a 221 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: short period of time in the next next segment, as 222 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Sencom goes through systematically this punch list in those five 223 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: categories or at least three of the categories of war, 224 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: to make sure that we've degraded and or destroyed because 225 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: President Trump now saying there's no need for combat troops 226 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: because we're going to so destroy what they've got as 227 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: they do. That is one of the concerns. How this 228 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: is metastasizing on Persian versus Arab, Muslim versus Muslim, as 229 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: this metastasizes into the Gulf, the Financial Times of London, 230 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, of course, obviously Bloomberg they're very 231 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: focused on some of they should be focused on, and 232 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: that's all assets being taken offline in the golf, whether 233 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: that is the tank or fleet, whether it is refineries, 234 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: desalination plants, all of gas fields, all of it. We're 235 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna take a short commercial break. We're returned to Saturday 236 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: morning in the warm in just a moment. 237 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: War room. Here's your host, Stephen Kvas. 238 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: Doctor Bradley Thayer, thank you for giving us time on 239 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: a Saturday morning Persian versus Arab because to me, this 240 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: is the most fascinating part of this so far is 241 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: that and this is a big time military campaign. Folks 242 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: ought to understand that since, as you guys know, as 243 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: a young naval officer over there in the North arabiancy 244 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: and Persian golf, it amazes me, you know, forty seven 245 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: years later, the types of power naval power we can 246 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: project that we couldn't project back then. So as a 247 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: former naval officer, it's awe inspiring. What's happening. That being said, 248 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: what really and doctor Thayer, you were just in Australia. 249 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: If we'd ask you at the time, I think all 250 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: of us have been stunned to see Persian versus Arab, 251 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: Shia versus Sunni. This kind of outright attacks on the 252 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: the in the golf on oil Asset's desal nation plans, 253 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I think the Saudise and other people 254 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: punching back your thoughts about that, is that the new 255 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: center of gravity in this war. 256 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: I think it's a key element of the war. 257 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: I think what what the Iran has done has escalated 258 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: the war horizontally by attacking the Gulf shakedoms in Saudi 259 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 4: Arabia and Azerbaijan and many other states as well. Their 260 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 4: effort is to undermine support for the US. There's a 261 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: logic for what they're doing, a military logic, strategic logic 262 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: for what they're doing. 263 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 5: They want to inflict pain on the Arab states. 264 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: And then by so doing, of course, that also reveals 265 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 4: the cleavages the tensions that exist between Sudi and Shia, 266 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: Arabs Iranians largely. 267 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 5: Shia, and between Persians and Arabs. 268 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: So Iran's efforts to hurt the US, to draw out 269 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 4: the campaign and inflict pain on the Arabs is to 270 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: a degree self defeating because it's generating at least at 271 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: the elite level support. Another issue which needs to be 272 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: addressed is that by attacking Azerbaijean. Remember, sixteen percent of 273 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 4: the population of Iran is a Zari. So by attacking Azerbaijean, 274 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 4: you're opening up a window for Azerbaijean to reach out 275 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 4: to essentially their population, the diaspora population in Iran, likewise 276 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 4: for the Kurds. So by Iran escalating, and again there's 277 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 4: a logic to do that, they're also complicating their strategic situation. 278 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 4: They're adding to their enemies, and they're adding to the 279 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 4: might arranged against them. Their calculus must be at least 280 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 4: with the Arabs, that there'll be a revolt that at 281 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: the mass level in the Gulf Shakedoms the people don't 282 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 4: support the US and they don't support this war, and 283 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: they don't support essentially their governments. That's there's a logic there, 284 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 4: but whether that's going to obtain well. 285 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Part of the logic, part of the logic is they 286 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: see they see this as the Israeli Anglo the Israeli 287 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: American demons, going after, going after, going after Muslims. Go ahead, right. 288 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 4: Saddam Musaying attacked Israel right as a way to draw 289 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: in the desert storm, desert shield in ninety one, soda'most 290 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 4: saying attack Israel as a way to essentially break up 291 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 4: the coalition as well as attacking Saudi as well as 292 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: attacking the Gulf shakedoms Rain very famously. So again there's 293 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: that military logic there, but whether that's going to be 294 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 4: successful or not is you know, is certainly very difficult to. 295 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Your your f You're falling the war very closely. Where 296 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: do people go on your on your twitter feed? You've 297 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: also worked on a huge book that we'll talk about 298 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: that hopefully comes out the spring of not early summer, 299 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: that I think puts us on a perspective. But where 300 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: do people go to get your constant updates on this 301 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: war and particularly your your thoughts on are we segueing 302 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: into the kinetic part of the Third World War and 303 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: uniting all these fights in a massive kind of World 304 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: War One type fiasco? 305 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: Right? 306 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 5: Brad theair an axer, Bradley their getter and truth. Uh uh? 307 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 4: And so Steve, you know, the major caveat is let's 308 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 4: not turn this into a national conflict. Let's not turn 309 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 4: it into a war against the Persians, uh, which is 310 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: going to greatly complicate the conflict. 311 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: Amen, that's why Sentcom, the airmen, soldiers, naval officers, the 312 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: crews of those ships. I mean, they're on they're on 313 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: the razor's edge right now. Thank you, sir, appreciate you. 314 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 5: Thank you, Steve. 315 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: The Syncom. That's what we really try to do as 316 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: many SINCOM briefings as possible. That's cutting edge. I want 317 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: to since they had this DHS, we didn't get a 318 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: lot of time to get into it because so many 319 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: other things going on. But the Senator Mark WAYN Mullen, 320 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: I want to get Shila Matthews on here. He has 321 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: been and obviously you're very supportive of the president Shila 322 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: and able Child is I think able Child you're coming 323 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: having your twenty fifth anniversary gala this week. I want 324 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: to make sure everybody knows about that. You're very supportive 325 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: full MAGA, but there's some issues. You've been out constantly saying, hey, 326 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: we're missing the point on this mental illness thing. We're 327 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: not getting into the psychiatrist records. This is a huge 328 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: industry for big pharma. We don't have our arms round it. 329 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Way Mullins does have some legislation out there 330 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: that you're saying, hey, I think this thing needs a 331 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: mid course guidance. Can you walk us through what's the 332 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: what's this legislation, what's the fundamental problems with it, and 333 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: what do you think we need to do to kind 334 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: of rectify it. Now that he's going over to DHS, well. 335 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: Able child works with everybody, and we're looking at Senator Mullens, 336 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: co sponsor of the b h I t Act, which 337 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: is the Behavioral Health Information Technology Act. What it is 338 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 3: is it's a big electronic network where they collect all 339 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 3: our consumer mental health documents and they pass them around 340 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 3: to behavioral health vendors and doctors. And there's a flaw 341 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 3: in this bill. And what the flaw is is it 342 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 3: does not collect the data associated with the violence that 343 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 3: the psychiatric drugs have. 344 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: So what we're. 345 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 3: Excited about is that he is the co sponsor of 346 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: this bill, So maybe he missed it. Maybe he missed 347 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: that loophole. So we need to put a patch on it. 348 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: So we need to open that system up, and he's 349 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: the guy to do it. Now that he's got this 350 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: big job and he doesn't need a bill to push through, 351 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: he can look at this flaw and say, you know what, 352 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: we need to collect the data from the psychiatrists that 353 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: are associated with these mass shoes, so it protects the consumer. 354 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: There's a consumer loophole here. This bill is that he 355 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 3: co sponsored, is more protective of the behavioral health and 356 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: the drug company, so able child wants. 357 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: It seems like this is the fight that you've had. 358 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: It seems like every just won't understand. It seems like 359 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: everything we have is to protect the psychiatry, the industry 360 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: of the psychiatrist, because they're kind of the physician, the 361 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: attending physician that prescribes this. And this is how big 362 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: pharma makes so much money. I mean, is everything that 363 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: we have here is it just like you said, Hey, 364 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: may overlooked it. It sounds like this is a This 365 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: is not a bug. This is actually the way the 366 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: system works. 367 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 5: Well. 368 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: These bills are crafted by the behavioral health industry and 369 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 3: they're pushed onto senators and congressmen, and the voice of 370 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: the consumer is often lost in there. They go to 371 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 3: the senators, we have a great idea, we're going to 372 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 3: do this whole new database, and it was bipartisan. So 373 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: we're all often always cautious of that because we have 374 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 3: to make sure that the consumer is protected. It took 375 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: us two years to get the Tennessee bill passed to 376 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: test for the therapeutic levels for psychiatric drugs in mass shooters. 377 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 3: This bill that he sponsored has a loophole, so able. 378 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: Child's been chasing this data. 379 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 3: So you're absolutely right, this is a flaw in this bill. 380 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: And he's going to be the Homeland Security head and 381 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 3: we have mass shootings that become unsolved, and you know, 382 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: as consumers, we need this protection. We need this data. 383 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: It's a data vacuum for the consumer. We need it 384 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 3: patched up. And you know, we're willing to work with him. 385 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: We're aware of this flaw and we are going to 386 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 3: stand on the mountain shout about this flaw because it 387 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 3: protects it protects the psychiatrist, it protects these records, and 388 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 3: we're forever fighting to get these records released to the public. 389 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 3: And the consumers want to go to movie theaters and malls. 390 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: They don't want to be shot up by psychiatric patients 391 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: that are on these dangerous black box suicide warning drugs. 392 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: We got to bounce, but does a drive you crazy? 393 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: Every time we have a mass shooting, they all come 394 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: on TV for a couple of days and say no 395 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: police are really looking for a motive when when the 396 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: first thing you hear is that they were under psychiatric 397 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: care and taking these drugs.

Here's your host, Stephen k. 443 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: Bas Welcome back. We've got Philip Patrick. Patrick joins us. Philip, 444 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: let's walk through why just generally because I want to 445 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: get into this specifics of this war and what it's 446 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: causing the turbulence in capital markets and commodity markets. But 447 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: first off, why has gold been a Because we're here 448 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: for the for a discussion that we've kind of come 449 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: full circle about. Remember one of the rushes to gold 450 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years is that, Philip Patrickston 451 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: we partner with Birch Gold to talk about the end 452 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: of the dollar empire. Now that was not about specifically 453 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: about gold as a hedge, but gold as a financial asset, 454 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: which became as the dollar was essentially the purchase power 455 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: of the dollar was destroyed by are the elites that 456 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: run this country right, and particularly the massive overspending that 457 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: when the purchasing power dropped, that the world would go 458 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: to particularly central banks and others would go to buying gold, 459 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: and gold would have a floor, and then it would 460 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: become a financial asset, as it has right in much 461 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: like the nineteenth century. But classically gold has been a 462 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: hedge against times of financial turbulence. It's been a safe harbor, 463 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: and you definitely have financial turbulence. Now I use the 464 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: term geopolitical risk, and I tell people that's just a 465 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: fancy schmancy term for war or the rumors of war. 466 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: When it gets down to it, and now we're in it, 467 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, we're in a conflict that is in the 468 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: conflict as our theory, the case is the center gravity 469 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: of the conflict is not the military conflict. Part of 470 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: it is Tehran in Persia itself, which is being pounded 471 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: to degradate their ability to have weapons system that actually 472 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: can attack their neighbors of the United States, also to 473 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: have a command structure that's still run by radical Islam. However, 474 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: the other part is what's different than all these other wars. 475 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 1: It's Muslim versus Muslim that's metastasized. That's shifted over to 476 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: the Persian golf and whether you like to admit it 477 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: or not, until we are up to more full capacity, 478 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: still much of the world, obviously Europe in Asia run 479 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: on Persian golf, all in gas, and so gold has 480 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: been a traditional hedge. What does that mean and what 481 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: does it mean particularly a time like this, Well, we're 482 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: in a shooting war, in a massive shooting war that 483 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: is quite frankly even now forget a rock in Afghanistan. 484 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: It's bigger than the Gulf War. 485 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 6: Sir, Yeah, this is I mean, there's a lot to 486 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 6: unpack there, certainly. You know, even prior to this, as 487 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 6: you mentioned, we had the perfect storm for for gold. 488 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 6: We've printed the dollar into oblivion. We've made it a 489 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 6: much less attractive store of wealth. We've talked about how 490 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 6: we broke the trust, specifically Biden through sanctions and weaponization 491 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 6: of currency, which made the dollar far less attractive. People 492 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 6: have to understand, gold has been the standard for international 493 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 6: currency throughout all of human history because ultimately, for most 494 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 6: of human history, countries didn't trust each other. And sort 495 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 6: of post World War Two, this belief was born that 496 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 6: the world had transitioned and we moved away from gold 497 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 6: towards government debt, and specifically US government debt. But I 498 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 6: think clearly that illusion has been shattered. First of all, 499 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 6: the dollar is a store of wealth, isn't what it was. 500 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 6: It's lost twenty eight percent of its buying power since 501 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 6: the pandemic. It is an unattra much less attractive store 502 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 6: of wealth than it was. Secondly, broadly, the trust has 503 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 6: been broken. So I think what we're seeing now is 504 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 6: the world is reverting back to on money what has 505 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 6: always been the standard. 506 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: Now. 507 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 6: Obviously, a war in Iran adds another dimension and more instability, 508 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 6: and you're correct in your assessment. Look, the Uranians can't 509 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 6: wage a military war, can't win a military war against 510 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 6: the United States, So the best way to do this 511 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 6: is to morph this into an economic war. I think 512 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 6: it's why they're hitting the Gulf States currently, to create 513 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 6: uncertainty and chaos, and I think it's going to be 514 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 6: a very effective strategy. Obviously, oil prices increasing on the 515 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 6: back of it significantly. If the war is long drawn 516 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 6: out and protracted, that's going to increase even more, and 517 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 6: that puts pressure on things domestically. Ultimately, we said this 518 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 6: a lot under Biden. Oil is the most inflationary commodity. 519 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 6: Oil prices go up put pressure on pricing across the 520 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 6: board domestically at a time heading into the midterms, when 521 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 6: we really don't need it. So the Uranians are smart 522 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 6: and I think they're going to continue to play a 523 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 6: smart game. So we'll have to see how this pans out. 524 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 6: But economically this is problematic. 525 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: When you see when you're on the day, you know 526 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: we've had Eric Bowling on now. He used to be 527 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: a trader of all in gas features, all of it 528 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: in the Pittsford about a dozen years. When you're talking 529 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: to traders, particularly in people in the commodities market and 530 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: people in the gold market, what are you hearing today? 531 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 6: Listen predictions that what I'm hearing is this is the 532 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 6: perfect storm we're seeing now for prescious medals. Right the 533 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 6: world is turning into chaos. Sadly, the silver lining is 534 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 6: it bodes well for investors in precious medals. Predictions now 535 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 6: are increasing dramatically. Ubs JP Morgan Bank of America have 536 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 6: scrambled to up predictions now on precious medals. They're projecting 537 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 6: sixty three hundred now for gold by the end of 538 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 6: the year. We're trading in the fifty one hundred, so 539 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 6: significant upside from where we sit. This ultimately strengthens the 540 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 6: long term fundamentals, and I think the longer the duration, 541 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 6: the better it is for precious metals, the more strain 542 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 6: it puts on the dollar and government debt. 543 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: Well, you say, there is though, there is this, There 544 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: is this flight to quality with the dollar. The dollar 545 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: has strengthened since it started, so people are fleeing certain assets. 546 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: It's not the end of the bricks movement. But clearly 547 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: some of the money market folks have said, hey, given 548 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: I don't understand what's going on, maybe I get more 549 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: into dollars. Obviously Goal too, but the strength of the dollar. 550 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: You've seen that in the last week or so because 551 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people said, hey, I think Goal could 552 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: be exploded. I could get to the six thousand or 553 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: sixty five hundred. Remember, we don't forecast the price of 554 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: Goal here. What we want to do is get you 555 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: the information and get you into like end of the 556 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: dollar empire, and you take you know, take your phone 557 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: out and text ban and b A n n owing 558 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: at ninety eight nine, and you get the ultimate guide 559 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: from investing, totally free, no obligations. All the information from Birtz, 560 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 1: Goal and the warroom on this topic are always free. 561 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: Because we want a smart investor in a smart in 562 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: a smart you know, a smart consumer. So, but what 563 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: was this about the strength and the goal Over the 564 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: last couple of days, the gold strengthened. 565 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 6: You make an interesting point, though, initially saw the dollar strengthen, 566 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 6: and it has done, and it's good news. People ultimately 567 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 6: moved to cash, and it shows that for liquidity people 568 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 6: still want dollars. What was interesting though, is historically during 569 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 6: times like this, investors run to government debt and yields decline. 570 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 6: But the opposite happened. Yields actually increased on the debt, 571 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 6: and what that suggests is people are less worried about 572 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 6: collapse more worried about inflation, I think, particularly the impact 573 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 6: of higher energy costs on top of today's already elevated 574 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 6: price levels. So as much as the dollar did strengthen, 575 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 6: which was good news, yields on debt increase, which is 576 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 6: bad news for the government. So sort of a mixed 577 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 6: bag there. In terms of precious metals, though, like I said, 578 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 6: I think demand will still increase broadly for medals. It's 579 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 6: still being driven by central banks. The dollarization is still 580 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 6: happening very actively. I think we're thirty eight year lows 581 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 6: now for central banks around the world holding holding dollars 582 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 6: for reserves, so that trend I think will continue long term. 583 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 6: Nothing is linear, right, the dollar is not going to 584 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 6: go like that. There'll be peaks and troughs, but I 585 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 6: think long term the trend, at least at this point, 586 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 6: is not changing. 587 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: You were the first to bring up. This is years ago. 588 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: In fact, this is the beginning of the year. So 589 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: I think if we're working with you guys, you had 590 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: this blinding insight. They're really not just turbocharge goal at 591 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: the time, but really had such a massive geopolitical impact 592 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: when people in this in the beginning of the Ukrainian War, 593 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: I guess we might have been into it for the 594 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: first year when the people that were so gung ho, 595 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: you know, that were driving the Ukrainians to put more 596 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: people in and more the resources in really fighted. They 597 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: came with this idea of first freezing the Russians assets 598 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: and then essentially stealing the Russian people's assets dollar denominated 599 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: assets that were in essentially basically European banks. And you 600 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: came on, he said, hey, this again, this is a 601 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: game changer. It's one of the reasons people have had 602 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: a problem with the swift system. They've had a problem 603 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: with the because the Americans can actually weaponize the dollar. 604 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 2: But we've never. 605 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: Done this to the Nazis. We didn't do this to 606 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: Imperial Japan, we didn't do this to the Bolsheviks. This 607 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: is a game changer. And you saw the shift in 608 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: the kind of the sentiment to goal, particularly among central banks, 609 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: because they realized, hey, maybe we can't be so dollar denominated. 610 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,959 Speaker 1: We just had in the last twenty four to forty 611 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: eight hours the same situation in uh in the UAE 612 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: where the UA's warned the Persians, and ninety nine point 613 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people didn't understand this because they said, hey, 614 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: I thought the Arabs in the in the arrangs and 615 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: the Persians were kind of a at a war with 616 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: each other, and you know, the Iranians were always saying 617 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: they were threatened them militarily, and they had all these 618 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 1: proxy groups in there, and so this thing's not never really, 619 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: it's it's been in the Abraham Accords showed that UAE 620 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: and others were prepared to work with the Israelis. The 621 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: biggest problem was was Tehran. And then it comes up 622 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: that Dubai is that I called Tortuga to the to 623 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: the pirates in the Caribbean in the in the in 624 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: the eighteenth, six, seventeenth and eighteenth century. Uh, it's Dubai 625 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: is like the pirates den and you had all the 626 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: resources and all their cash wasn't in wasn't in Switzerland. 627 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: It was in Dubai. And now UAE is threatening to say, hey, look, 628 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: not only might we freeze it, we might take it. 629 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: How is that? Tell me how that's a game changer 630 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: in this war. It reflects what happened with the Russians, 631 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: but it's also going to be another indication of countries 632 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: throughout the world in central banks that hey, maybe I 633 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: just can't be keeping my cash sitting around I got 634 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 1: maybe I have to go to gold, sir. 635 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 6: This was the point that I was making earlier. Right, 636 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 6: for all of human history, gold was the standard because 637 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 6: trust didn't exist broadly between nations. 638 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: And like I said, this sort of post. 639 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 6: World War two US led order meant that the world 640 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 6: broadly trusted each other. And when the trust broke down, 641 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 6: America was there to police it. So we saw this transition, 642 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 6: but that illusion has clearly been shattered. The world now 643 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 6: is sort of turning to blocks and I think assets seizures, 644 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 6: things like that have ultimately escalated the inevitability. 645 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: I'd love to sort. 646 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 6: Of take credit for some genius foresight when it came 647 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 6: to the Russia thing, but ultimately it's it's common sense. 648 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 2: Right. 649 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 6: If you want to incentivize the world to hold your 650 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,439 Speaker 6: currency and trade in it, you know you can't do 651 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 6: things like seize people's assets and threaten to give them 652 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 6: to a country that they're currently at war at to 653 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 6: fight against them. That's not only a message to the 654 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 6: country you're sanctioning, but it's a message to every other 655 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 6: country around the world that may want to do things 656 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 6: that don't align with your more moral compass. It's that simple, 657 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,439 Speaker 6: and the more it happens, the more the world will 658 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 6: revert to gold. 659 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: Philip Kenia hang on recessarily, but just hang on through 660 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: the commercial break, because I want people to immerse them 661 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: avail themselves of the opportunity that you have to immerse 662 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: themselves in information here and become wiser. I think you'll 663 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: become financially more and more stable if you do this, 664 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: but you'll still learn how the world works.

Use your host, Stephen k Maas. 683 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to make sure everybody to think 684 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: about this crypto was supposed to be digital gold, correct, Philip, 685 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: and it was going to have all these attributes of gold. 686 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: One of the things for the audience to understand that 687 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 1: history has kind of proven the last couple of years 688 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: is that particularly as the central banks stepped in from 689 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: throughout the world, particularly the Chinese Communist Party, right, but 690 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: the central banks have stepped in and doubled and tripled 691 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: on their gold reserves. Is that gold has has been 692 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: very liquid. I think in the past there were some issues. Well, 693 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: if I got physical gold, you know, it's not like 694 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: going in a stock on the New York Stock Exchange. 695 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: I can't call my broken cross a trade. But just 696 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: the depth of purchasing in the gold market gave you 697 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: liquid it. If you wanted to offload your gold or 698 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: sell it, you weren't looking at taking a twenty five 699 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: percent discountciling like this because of recent statistics, and crypto 700 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: was supposed to be the same way. I think what 701 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: we found one I want you to talk about. It 702 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: turned out it didn't move with gold. It turned out 703 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: to be instead of countercyclical with the cycle. And I 704 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: believe more importantly, and this is why you saw a 705 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: lot of the tech brows very early on when President 706 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,839 Speaker 1: Trump won. I remember these guys all climbed on board 707 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: and they want not just regulation, they also wanted some 708 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: the US government step in with these kind of these 709 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: reserves to essentially add liquidity to the market. And now 710 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: we understand, particularly specifically now that we're in the shooting 711 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: war and crypto has been all over the place, there's 712 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: just not one it's not countercyclical. Number two, it is 713 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: there's a liquidity issue. And so it turns out it's 714 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: actually not only not digital gold, it's kind of anti 715 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: digital gold, is it not, sir. It's a good good 716 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: way to put it. 717 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 6: And I think not having the American taxpayer being the 718 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 6: backstop that is very, very important. With the benefit of hindsight, 719 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 6: it's clear to see what would have happened. On top 720 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 6: of that, the digital gold story just doesn't hold up anymore, 721 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 6: and honestly it hasn't for quite a while. Gold is 722 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 6: a safe haven asset. It performs incredibly well during times 723 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 6: of stagflation. Things like higher inflation, weaker growth, monetary instability, 724 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 6: dollar decline, they all drive gold up. But what it 725 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 6: is is defensive, boring. It's essentially insurance for a portfolio. 726 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 6: Bitcoin has not behaved that way at all. Right, When 727 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 6: liquidity has been abundant, when rates are low, speculative appetite 728 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 6: is high, Bitcoin absolutely soores and people can do incredibly 729 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 6: well when liquidity tightens, and when real rates rise, sentiment 730 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 6: turns from risk on to risk of the thing can 731 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 6: absolutely plum it right drop fifty sixty percent, as we've 732 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 6: been seeing. So you know, gold is on the opposite 733 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 6: end of the spectrum to that. Going to buy gold 734 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 6: and it's worth double, triple, quadruple two weeks from now, 735 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 6: but by that same token, it doesn't drop in half 736 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 6: in a week. So when it comes to sort of 737 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 6: risk profile, I'd put it on the opposite end of 738 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 6: the spectrum. And as you rightly point out, you know, 739 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,919 Speaker 6: gold has thousands of years of history, and what we've 740 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 6: learned over those years is how it performs in relation 741 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 6: to other assets, So we understand very well it's defensive 742 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 6: and it's countercyclical. It does very well when things are struggling. 743 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 6: Bitcoin seems to be the reverse, right, and in climates 744 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 6: like this, when people are looking for safe havens, they're 745 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 6: looking for wealth preservation. Bitcoin just doesn't achieve that. So 746 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 6: I've always viewed it as a speculative asset and I 747 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 6: still do today. So as some sort of support for 748 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 6: the US dollar, definitely not. 749 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 1: I also want people to note that both Fulliver and 750 00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: myself came out of investment banking. We are not gold bugs. Fact, 751 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties when I really you know, 752 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: left Tarvard and went to work for Goldman Sachs, I 753 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: have my own firm, it was it was really John 754 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: Maynard Keynes, I think it was. It said it was 755 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 1: a historic relic, a barbaric relic. This has only been 756 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: really this focus on the crushing of the US dollar 757 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, because the US l 758 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: is still the backbone of the system, as you're seeing 759 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: right now in this war. The reason we partner with 760 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: Birch Gold is that, you know, I never talked. It's 761 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: not the price, it's the process, and it's learning. This 762 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 1: was a great learning experience for you to understand how 763 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: the world works. Even if you never invested, or you 764 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: never did anything. It's just to have another error in 765 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 1: the quiver. That the reason you're the smartest, most powerful 766 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: political audience in the world and have really bent the 767 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: arc of history is that you use your agency and 768 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: you're engaged. And we've done this on geopolitics, we've done 769 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: it obviously on politics itself. On culture, one of the 770 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: most important things we do in the show is to 771 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: talk to a blue collar and a middle class audience 772 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: on things I think are more sophisticated than CNBC or 773 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: forget Fox Business that's just cheerleading, almost like Bloomberg TV. 774 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,959 Speaker 1: We really try to get people in here and break 775 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: down what's going on, because we say, if you don't 776 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: understand that, you're not going to understand how the world works. 777 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: And that's why the partnership with Birch Gold and all 778 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: the work we've put in together the birch Gold team 779 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: and the Worm team to do it. But Philip, I 780 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: want people if you go to birch gold dot com 781 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,240 Speaker 1: promo code ban and you get access to all the information, 782 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: but most importantly get access to Philip Patriot team. And 783 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: I've had so many people come to me and say, hey, 784 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,759 Speaker 1: in my relationship with Birch Gold has changed my life 785 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,879 Speaker 1: because I got in it cold at fifteen hundred bucks 786 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: and it's over five thousand a day. But it's really 787 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 1: the learning experience I want. We got about a minute, Philip, 788 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: Where do people go? How do they get access to 789 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: you and your team? It's really simple. 790 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 6: It's birchgold dot com forward slash banning again, birch gold 791 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 6: dot com forward slash span and get the End of 792 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 6: the Dollar Empire reports, access to guides on how and 793 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 6: why to invest in pressures, medals in today's climate, and 794 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 6: is you rightly point out you know your viewers, your listeners, 795 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 6: they have a real desire to learn.
