Will the 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve raise interest rates again? Will inflation ever be 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: rained in? What's the number one issue in voters' minds 14 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: right now going into the twenty twenty four election. Today, 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about all of these economic questions 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: and more and why it's so important to diversify your 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: investment portfolio. I'm really pleased to welcome back my guest, 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Charles Thornngren, Founder and CEO of Legacy Precious Metals. Charles, 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: welcome and thank you for joining me again in News world. 20 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to talk with you. 21 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: It's my pleasure, thank you. 22 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: So I thought we might start things off by talking 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: about the latest news from the Federal Reserve and their 24 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: efforts about inflation. The Federal Reserves September twentieth meeting Chairman 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: Pale afterwards said economic activity has been stronger than we expected, 26 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: stronger than I think everyone expected. Doesn't this put real 27 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: pressure in them to continue to raise interest rates until 28 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: they can bring the economy down dramatically. 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: When the Committee speaks, you have to look at it 30 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: from what they're trying to accomplish versus what they're trying 31 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: to let people feel. The economy. They have a dual 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: edge that they must maintain, and their goal is to 33 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: achieve maximum employment and inflation rates at two percent over 34 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: the long run. Of course, they can't do that immediately. 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: You have an issue where how do we get from 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: five and a half percent now back down to that 37 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: two percent without the big fear of creating a very 38 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: hard landing and a recession. So they have to address 39 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: the situation and continue to provide guidance that doesn't scare people, 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: and that's a difficult thing to do. So looking at 41 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: two percent, and how do we get there. It's going 42 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: to require additional raises, but the more important thing is 43 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: going to require a higher interest rate for a much 44 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: longer period of time. And I think when you look 45 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: at this scenario, it brings us to a place we've 46 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: never been before where we're talking about higher interest rates 47 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: for an extended period of time. And we have to 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: draw back to, you know, the scenario that President Reagan 49 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: had to deal with and that you were part of 50 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: getting us out of that situation as well. So it 51 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: brings us back to a bygone era that we must 52 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: address and we must protect ourself with. 53 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: So I mean, if they do go through even more 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: interest rate hikes, and I have a good friend who 55 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: makes a bit of money at this who said he 56 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: fully expects him to go police another half a percent 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: in the near future. I mean, in a way, this 58 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: is a classic demand side play of trying to weaken 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the private sector economy enough that it stops creating inflation, 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: but at a time when the government is spending so 61 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: much extra money that the government is actually the primary 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: cause of the inflation. 63 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: That's true. 64 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Isn't this the kind of turmoil that people need to 65 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: really sort of buckle down and realize what we're going through. 66 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: I think it is. I think, like you said, the 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: government printing is one of the leading reasons for the 68 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: inflation that we have. But again, we have interest rates 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: going up in that classic event, trying to push down 70 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: purchasing to help create less of a demand. But at 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: the same time we have to consider too that we 72 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: have a government that's now saying, let's raise the amount 73 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: that everyone gets paid, let's raise minimum wage, let's pay 74 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: people more. You're run into an issue there. If you're 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: paying people more, they spend more, so you almost effectively 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: cancel your interest raises with the effect that they're going 77 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: to have, which creates a bigger issue because sooner or 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: later that will break and we will see the recession coming. 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: I was struck with the amount that the United Auto 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Workers are demanding in their strike of the traditional American 81 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: Big three companies that would be so unbelievably inflationary and 82 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: would potentially put the companies out of business because they 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: literally would not be able to compete in the cost 84 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: of building cars. I mean, once this inflationary psychology sets in, 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: everybody wants to get more because they want to try 86 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: to get ahead of the curve, which then increases the 87 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: pressure for more inflation. 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's an evil self fulfilling circle at a time 89 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: where American auto workers, we're going to be competing on 90 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: just the price of cars based on a stronger dollar. 91 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: We haven't really talked about that much, but we're automatically 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: making our vehicles more difficult to buy overseas and here 93 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: as well. The weaker other currencies are means the cheaper 94 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 2: their cars are when they come to the United States. 95 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: So if we're going to do this and this is 96 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: the way out, we have to realize we're hurting our 97 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: automotive industry while trying to say we're doing something good. 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: People making money is a good thing. But when it 99 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: costs jobs, because this will in the long run and 100 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: it costs sales, that's going to lead us to much 101 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: bigger problems. And we're going to have another scenario where 102 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: we're going to have to come out with a campaign 103 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: that says buy America first, because we're going to make 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: our cars two defensive. 105 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: I just ran across a note that the Federal Reserve 106 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: is actually going to cut its staff by five hundred positions. 107 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I have no idea why they're doing that. 108 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: That's pretty unusual for them. 109 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: It's very unusual. It's over a decade since it's happened 110 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: last and it's difficult to understand what exactly that's leading 111 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: to and why it's the biggest drop since twenty ten 112 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: at a time when they're doing more and more. So 113 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: it's a little confusing. And this is one of those 114 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: things that sends mixed signals to fellow Americans. If the 115 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve's cutting jobs, how can we say the economy 116 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: is strong. They have numbers that say that it is, 117 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: but yet they're even in the process of laying off people. 118 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: This is a warning sign. This is what we typically 119 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: look for when we see that there's a recession coming, 120 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: the layoff of people. Companies know better, and in this case, 121 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve knows better. So it does indicate some 122 00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: of the other concerns we have. 123 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: The American people are sufficiently worried about inflation that when 124 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: I asked if they want to cut spending to balance 125 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: the budget and reduce inflation, seventy eight percent said yes. 126 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: Only eleven percent disagreed. I mean, this is a really 127 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: high number favoring a smaller. 128 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: Government absolutely, and I do have to question who those 129 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: eleven percent are, but that's another conversation. But when you 130 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: see an overwhelming number like that, that lets you know 131 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: that we all feel that, we all get it, and 132 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: it's time for our government to react in a way 133 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: that supports us, that takes themselves out of the way 134 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: from what is coming. Americans don't need that much government. 135 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: We say that over and over again, but here it 136 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: is in a poll proving that point, because we see 137 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: what they've done hasn't really helped us. They are part 138 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: of the problem that we're going to be suffering in 139 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: the recession that's yet to come. 140 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: I do a lot of polling at a project called 141 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: the America's New Majority, projecting forty five percent of the 142 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: voters now say we asked the question, with inflation and 143 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: higher prices, we're struggling to keep up and afford basic necessities. 144 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Forty five percent of the voters last month said yes. 145 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean that is a staggering impact on their lives 146 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: and their ability to go out for dinner or to 147 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: just go to the grocery store. 148 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: The incredible thing is these are the things that begin 149 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: to take the toll, that bring about the recession that 150 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: we're worried about. When people aren't able to go out 151 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: and spend. You have mom and pop companies, smaller companies, 152 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: small business. They become affected by this, and then it 153 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 2: affects the overall economy as well. And we're going to 154 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: be dealing with this with higher interest rates to where 155 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: some corporations can't go out and effectively refinance their bonds 156 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: because the rate is so high right now, so forty 157 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: five percent. If you look at that number, to say 158 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: that forty five percent of us are entering a level 159 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: where they can't keep up with their base technies, it 160 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: makes one begin to think, you know, a third world country, 161 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: and that's troublesome for me that we spend so much 162 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: money overseas and other things, but yet forty five percent 163 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: of the people are saying they're struggling. We need to 164 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: reevaluate what we're doing well. 165 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: And of course that gets us to the fight we're 166 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: having right now about paying for the government and whether 167 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: or not there be a government shutdown because Speaker McCarthy 168 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: in the House side has a very very narrow majority 169 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: and has a very hard time getting to two eighteen 170 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: because he only has a three or four vote margin. 171 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: They're at least trying to cut spending, which is what 172 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: the country says they want. The Senate, I think, is 173 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: just cheerfully saying, oh, can we just surrender, go ahead, 174 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: pass something, keep the government open, even if we spend 175 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,599 Speaker 1: a lot more money, Who cares? It just seems to 176 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: me that that's totally out of touch with the daily 177 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: reality of most Americans now, where continued inflation is on 178 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: the verge of becoming a real disaster. 179 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: Continuing inflation is a real disaster, but also unlimited government 180 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 2: spending that's equally as bad, if not more so. And 181 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: I think that, like you said, we have Speaker McCarthy 182 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: trying his best. You know, no one wants a shutdown. 183 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: It doesn't benefit us as Americans now. Is it a 184 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: tool that needs to be pushed. Yes, there's issues that 185 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: need to be addressed. But if there was a way 186 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: to keep the government open and still find the means 187 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: necessary to bring the Senate in line, so they begin 188 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: to understand we want fiscal responsibility. It's not about yes, yes, yes, 189 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: we'll pay for it later. At some point we have 190 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: to take those reins and we have to tighten them. 191 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: And this is the problem, and this is a big 192 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: problem for Speaker McCarthy. How does he balance that. Obviously, 193 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: we want the vote right, we want to keep the 194 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: government open, but we need responsibility. 195 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: If you beeping up with the news lately, you know 196 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: that we're living in challenging economic times. Americans are suffering 197 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: from supply chain problems, soaring grocery prices, and high inflation. 198 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: All this economic turmoil means increased volatility in the stock market, 199 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: which can impact your retirement investments.

Visit by Legacy goold dot com. I ran 213 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: across the headline that said the bond market has never 214 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: sounded recession alarms for this long and says that the 215 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: bond market has been warning about a recession longer than 216 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: any time in the last sixty years. I will plead 217 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: ignorance and ask you what does that mean. 218 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: It's an interesting statement, and it's not an easy one 219 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: to understand. Most people don't really get in depth with 220 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: the bond market, even though it is the largest market 221 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: that we have. It is massive in size compared to 222 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: even the equities market. But really what they're talking about 223 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: is the fact that if you look at treasure yields, 224 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: a three month yield as a better return than a 225 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: ten year yield, and that inversion is important, and the 226 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: length of time that has been inverted is very important. 227 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 2: They say sixty years. We're really talking about one of 228 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: the largest times in the US's history where people had 229 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: more faith in the next month than they do ten 230 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: years from now. Because that's what that signals. No one 231 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 2: wants to invest their money for the next ten years 232 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: at these rates. They don't feel safe, so they move 233 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: money into the three month yield, which means it's so 234 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: limited their faith in this government they're not willing to 235 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: give it more than a quarter at a time of 236 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: their investment money. And when you say that this has 237 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: been happening right for over two hundred and twelve days, 238 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: that's almost a year. It won't be that much longer 239 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: that it's an inversion factor of getting close to a year. 240 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: This means that we've been right all along when we've 241 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: talked new it. There's a problem here. There's a recession 242 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: coming because the economy can't stand with that much doubt. 243 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: When people know and money knows that the long term 244 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: outlook is worse than tomorrow's, you have problems. And this 245 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: is why you have Bloomberg and other things beginning to 246 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: talk more about precious metals as a protective asset, because 247 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 2: it's one of those things that steps in when you 248 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: see this kind of uncertainty. But more important than that, 249 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: we need to know that whatever we are invested in 250 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: it has the ability to withstand that test. Because the 251 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: general consensus and the money consensus is the future is 252 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: not as bright as tomorrow. The long term future. We 253 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: see consequences coming, and this is why we talk about 254 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: recessions and such so much because it's staring us in 255 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: the face. Whether regular people and mainstream media want to 256 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: address the situation, the bond market has shown it in 257 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: fact and in number. 258 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: So the bond market has started telling us that people 259 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: who are sophisticated are so nervous that they're charging more 260 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: to loan their money for shorter periods. I mean, is 261 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: that a way to put in that is correct normally? 262 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: That signals that there's a real problem coming. At the 263 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: same time, there's a book by Jeremy Siegel called Stocks 264 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: for the Long Run, which has been called the buy 265 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: and Hold Bible. You knew this one was coming because 266 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: it's a really good topic. Was first published back in 267 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, and he's a professor of finance at 268 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. So it 269 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: takes a very long term view of the financial markets, 270 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: starting way back in eighteen oh two, and he argues 271 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: that stocks have returned and average of six point five 272 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: to seven percent per year after inflation over the last 273 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: two hundred years, that it was actually a compound rate 274 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: of return up through nineteen ninety one at about seven 275 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: point seven percent but that from nineteen twenty six to 276 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: the present the behavior of both long and short term 277 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: interest rates changed dramatically. During the Great Depression, short term 278 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: interest rates fell to nearly zero, and in October forty one, 279 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: the yield and the twenty year Treasury bond fell to 280 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: a record low of one point eight two percent of 281 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: that's loaning your money with a real faith in the future, 282 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: if you're willing to take one point eight two percent. 283 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: But during the war, the government obviously was borrowing huge 284 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: amounts of money. Gold prices soared to eight hundred and 285 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: fifty dollars an ounce by January of nineteen eighty they 286 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: were thirty five dollars announced in nineteen thirty two by law. 287 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: When inflation was brought under control, gold prices fell, but 288 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: they rose again after the two thousand and eight financial crisis, 289 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: when the flood of credit issued by central banks led 290 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: people to be afraid of inflation, and by the end 291 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: of twenty twelve, the price of gold reached sixteen hundred 292 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: and seventy five dollars per ounce, and a dollar a 293 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: gold bullion purchased in eighteen oh two was there at 294 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: eighty six forty while the price level itself had increased 295 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: by a factor of nineteen. So what is your take. 296 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, over time, how do you measure gold, silver, 297 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: and stock as places to invest in. 298 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: It's a great question. My philosophy has always been diversification. 299 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: I'm not telling anybody they shouldn't be in equities, but 300 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: equities aren't the only thing. You should be in precious metals. 301 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: That's another diversification. And when you look at those numbers, 302 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: you'll see that precious metals, gold and silver do the 303 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: job they're meant to do. When you see downturns in 304 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: the economy, metals move up. When you see interest rates 305 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: and inflation moving up, metals will move up because that's 306 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: what it's there to protect. If you look at all 307 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: the numbers, and this is one of the things that 308 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: equities people do very well. They like to cherry pick 309 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: the numbers that they talk about. But if you look 310 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: at equities over a longer period of time and you 311 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: look at metals, you'll see very similar returns. The big 312 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: difference is that metals are metals. When you talk about equities, 313 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 2: you're talking about specific equities that they choose to use 314 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 2: in those parameters. It doesn't use every equity there are 315 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: many times that you'll have a stock that was in 316 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 2: an index fall out of favor and get removed from 317 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 2: the indexed. Now, if you didn't take that out of 318 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: your portfolio, you didn't get the return of that portfolio. 319 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: Very few people get the return of the index when 320 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: they're investing in the equities market, whereas with precious metals 321 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: you get the return of the increase of the metal. 322 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: So there's an inherent difference. Again, not to say don't 323 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: do one, we say diversify. So in those years when 324 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: the market's doing well, you reap the benefit. When it's not, 325 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: you have the protection that you need. And that's the 326 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: important part because and the end of the day, we're 327 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: looking at protecting our purchasing power. When everyone retires, I 328 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 2: don't want to talk about so much, Oh I have 329 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: so many shares of this stock and that stock. They 330 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: want to talk about how they have to protected their livelihood. 331 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: They can do the things they want to do. You 332 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: can help the grand kids, you can take the trips 333 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: you wanted to do. You've worked hard. It's time to 334 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: benefit now. And that's where your precious metals come in. 335 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: They offer you that buffer, and they offer you that safety. 336 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: From that standpoint, you would look for people to recognize 337 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: that the world is volatile and that things will go 338 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: up and down, but that if you have a very 339 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: balanced approach that might include some bonds and some stock, 340 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: but would also include precious metals, that balance approach gives 341 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: you the best possible guarantee against a real downturn and 342 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: the best possible framework for a long term upside because 343 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: each of the three sort of balances off the others, 344 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: and between the three of them you get a kind 345 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: of stability. I mean, is that a reasonable way to 346 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: think of it. 347 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 2: That's the perfect way. That's the way that the regular 348 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: man says it instead of the long winded way that 349 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: I just said it. But that's exactly right. 350 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: Part of the reason I always like talking with you 351 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: is you have such a broad historic view of this 352 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: and you bring in the whole concept of precious metal 353 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: in a way that I think a lot of You know, 354 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: if you're a stock salesman, you have a pretty good 355 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: case you want to make for why people ought to 356 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: buy stock. If you're a bond salesman, you've got a 357 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: pretty good case for why people want to buy bonds, 358 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: Because that's where you get a commission on. Every time 359 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: we've talked, you've always talked about balance, and you've always 360 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: talked about having a commitment to think through what's the 361 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: right formula for you personally given your age and your 362 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: circumstance and your income. And I think it's that kind 363 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: of very balanced approach which makes me think that the 364 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: things you're doing at Legacy Precious Metals. By the way, 365 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: the information people can get by going to Legacy Precious Metals, 366 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: there are a lot of specific things about having precious 367 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: metals in terms of your IRA and other things that 368 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: are fascinating.

You know, 393 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 2: one of the things that it's also important for us, 394 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: it's full transparency. Having real time pricing of where the 395 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: medals are at now, calling and being able to find 396 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 2: out what the price is today, and if you're on 397 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 2: our platform, you know, looking and seeing exactly what the 398 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: price is. We do this because we want this to 399 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 2: be as simple and informative for each and every individual 400 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: that decides to buy metals. This is the way metal 401 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: purchasing should be giving you the information you need, being 402 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 2: fully transparent, very low transaction fees. And these times you're 403 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 2: going to hear stories of other companies that are charging 404 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 2: astronomical amounts of money for precious metals. We're not that company, 405 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: and when you call us, you'll see that, and it's 406 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: a big difference. I think it's important to know that, 407 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: even if you've called somebody else, spend the fifteen minutes, 408 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: give us a call so that you can see why 409 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: we're different and the information that you have. I think 410 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: it just opens every individual up to making the right decision, 411 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 2: to underst standing why we talk about this diversity so much. 412 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: One of the things that we've looked at and we 413 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: have encouraged everybody on our team at Gain, which three 414 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: sixties who have an IRA, the ability you have to 415 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: take your existing IRA and in a sense get diversity 416 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: within your current investment framework. Why going to part or 417 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: all of the IRA having a precious metals component? Can 418 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: you describe that? For second, apparently the law allows us 419 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: to literally take money we've already got to sitting there 420 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: in an IRA, in a sense hedge against inflation by 421 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: taking part of that and putting it into a precious 422 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: metals IRA exactly how does that work? 423 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: You are correct, and it's so important to address this too. 424 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: You've taken the time, and Indieville's taking the time to 425 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: think about the retirement as first and foremost. Congratulations. Some 426 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: people aren't doing that, but if you have, you want 427 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: to understand that you're not limited no matter what your 428 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: broker may tell you right now. When the IRA rule 429 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 2: is first established in nineteen eighty six or it really 430 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: became popular to fund retirement accounts, precious metals were always 431 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: allowed as part of that process. It just wasn't talked 432 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: about as much because everyone was thinking equities and brokerage 433 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: firms came out and they were promoting this new retirement 434 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 2: account that people didn't understand, and that's where the money 435 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: flowed because they spent the time talking about it. But 436 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: it's important to understand that that retirement account is probably 437 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 2: one of the largest things that you've vested beside your 438 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: home for your retirement, so you want to have the 439 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: ability to protect that as well. I would say that 440 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: retirement account is probably more important than the cash account 441 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: you may have because that retirement account was established specifically 442 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: to fund your livelihood. When you decided to quit working, 443 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: when you remove the ability to pay your day to 444 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 2: day bills and pay for your monthly expenses, you said, 445 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: this money is going to be there until I pass 446 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: it on to my children or my grandchildren. To me, 447 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 2: that's a much more important process and a much more 448 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: important vehicle to make sure is diversified because it will 449 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: go a longer period of time. Some my iras get 450 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: passed down from generation to generation, so it's not just 451 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: your livelihood, but if you're looking at your grandkids and 452 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: how they're going to get to college or how they're 453 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: going to have funds, this is what that IRA can 454 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 2: do for you. So you want it to have something 455 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: that has legs, that has the ability to stand that 456 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: test of time that we don't see from many of 457 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: the other investment vehicles. 458 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: Right now, if you've been keeping up with the news lately, 459 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: you know that we're living in challenging economic times.

This 503 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: is a great chance to learn and one of the 504 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: reasons I think that Charles created Legacy Precious Metals was 505 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: to try to educate people and put the power in 506 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,239 Speaker 1: your hands for you to make an informed decision. Now 507 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: this next thing I've never done before. I'm really intrigued 508 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: with this and we have some very exciting news to 509 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: announce today. Charles, why do you share with our listeners 510 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: about this project that we've been collaborating on, which I 511 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: have to tell you I think is just great fun. 512 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: I would love to. Through the course of time that 513 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 2: we've been chatting, I've always said there's some more we 514 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: can do, and in helping people, we wanted to not 515 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: just help them with their medals, but also honor the 516 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: people who care about their livelihood and who care about 517 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 2: America and have done such an amazing life work of 518 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: doing it. So we were talking with the speaker and 519 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: we said, you know what we should do. We should 520 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: make a silver coin with you on it. Let's honor 521 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: somebody who spent his entire life in service of American people. 522 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: So that's what we did. We created the Contract with 523 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: America theme silver coin. It's an amazing coin, ninety nine 524 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: point nine to nine percent silver. We have the image 525 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: of a newt on it. We have some of the 526 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: tenets of the Contract with America on the back of it. 527 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: And what it does. It gives us the ability to 528 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: make an investment in something, but also honor someone. And 529 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: I know that the speaker is a little modest, but 530 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: he deserves to be honored the life work that he's 531 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: had and the work that he's done for us as 532 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: American people. We should honor that, and that's what we 533 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: want to do. But also it gives us the opportunity 534 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 2: for those of you who are like me and you 535 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: purchase metals. Gives me the ability to pass it on 536 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: to my children and have that conversation. Let's talk about 537 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: what happened. Let's talk about how if you dedicated and 538 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: you have conviction and you care, you can change the 539 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: course of America. You can make America a better place. 540 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: And I think for me, that's one of the great 541 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: reasons that we really wanted to do this coin was 542 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: so that we could commemorate the life work and the 543 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 2: effort and one of amazing benefits we've had from that 544 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 2: life work. So we did create the new Gingrich Contract 545 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: with America Themes silver coin, and I have. 546 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: To confess I was skeptical when this first came up, 547 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: but the folks who designed this coin did an amazing job. 548 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: It really does have a real relationship back to the 549 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: contract with America, So that's on one side of the coin, 550 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: and then basically a silver version of my official portrait 551 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: that hangs in the capitals the other side of the coin. 552 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: It came out, I was amazed. You know, my mother 553 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: would be so happy to have something like this, So 554 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: I really appreciate, first of all, the very fact that 555 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: you would be willing, Charles to do something like this 556 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: as extraordinary. It's something that we're going to treasure.

That's Newt gingrichsilvercoin dot com. 559 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: And as I said, I was blown away when I 560 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: saw what they did at the Mint. It is really 561 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: going to be remarkable, and I'm just personally so grateful 562 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: to you, Charles, for thinking up something like this and 563 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: for making it historic in a way that I would 564 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: personally never have dreamed of. 565 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: It was our pleasure. 566 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: I want to thank you for helping create the coin. 567 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: I want to thank you for the educational conversation we 568 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: try to have once a quarter.
