Market Meltdown as the Reset Gets Closer

You can sign up for that as well@SarahWestAll.com and remember to give a thumbs up and to subscribe on the platform that you’re watching. Welcome to the Economic Financial Review on Business Game Changers. I’m Sarah Westall. I have my friend Andy Schectman coming back to the program. We’re going to be talking about the state of the economy, the civil unrest, what’s fueling it, some of the crazy things that are going on. What’s happening with the stock market, the top market cap companies in the world, how they’re not making money like people, you know, like they were, what’s why or, and what ones are.

And then stay for the end of this because he’s going to talk about how you can get a massive tax write off if you were somebody that, that bought silver or precious metals at the high, because they’re suppressing it right now. We think that they’re suppressing it so they can accumulate and prepare. So if you bought it high, you can get that tax write off, you can sell it back. And then he also has a way that you can sell it back so that it’s not on record. So you gotta listen to it. It’s really smart and you should take advantage of it if you can because those tax write offs are pretty, those are golden.

That’s like money in your pocket. So look at that. Also, if you’re looking at getting, buying gold and silver at by, you know, before the end of the year, especially taking advantage of the fact that it’s low right now, go to sarahwestall.com Miles Franklin, fill out that form and you’ll get copy of the special price list that is not public. The prices are lower than what you would see online. And remember, you want to buy from somebody that you trust. So always, always, always compare prices. Make sure that you’re paying a premium that is reflective of a commodity.

You don’t get scammed. There’s a lot of scammers in this industry. Okay, go to sarahwestall.com Miles Franklin. Okay, let’s get into this economic review with my friend Andy Schectman. Hi Andy. Welcome back to the show Sarah. Thanks for having me. Good to be back home and good to see you. We’re going to talk about we, we called civil unrest coming months ago be I think pretty much before anybody else was, was talking about it that it was coming and that all the indicators are pointing to that now it’s seeming that the governments of the world are coming out and telling people that with by saying to stock up.

It’s kind of a little silly that they’re telling people to stock up for three days, you know, because what kind of numb nuts doesn’t have three days of water and toilet paper? But they’re still doing it and it’s still creating and they’re doing it in unison, which to me is pretty incredible. It’s like Dam Bongino. I agree, it is. Dan Bongino just came out and said people need a 30 day supply of food and water which is on the heels of the new report or the new demand out of the Department of War saying that all of the military bases will need 90 days to prepare off grid.

90 days focusing on what they believe is a very weak and fragile power grid, which it is. And this, you know, intimating that this weakness could be exposed in the coming months. You’re seeing the same thing in the UK the same thing throughout the European Union where governments are advocating for preparation which is, you know, especially when you talk about the threat of not even military threat but the threat of technology and how the acceleration, acceleration of AI and then eventually quantum computing will, will be a problem as it pertains to net, to the infrastructure. We’re seeing what it’s doing right now to the, to the crypto space as yesterday Binance was hacked with outflows they’re saying as large as 5.7 billion in like 60 seconds.

They said it’s 1.45 billion in Bitcoin and 8.875 million of Ethereum that they know of so far. But it would be the biggest hack in crypto history. And you know, this happened in literally like 60 seconds. And then the day before that we see Polymarket was, they acknowledged they were hacked on October 29th. A third party provider compromise they say. But you know, the point of it is, is that these things are accelerating and if it can happen in crypto space, well obviously it can happen with the banks. And then by extension, what if it happens with the grid, a fragile, outdated, antiquated grid, and you look at a grid that is already being, you could argue, stretched and really being pushed to the limit with AI, which is already beginning to create limits not only on the grid, but also on how far I can go, which is high, high, high, high maintenance.

And what do you think? Okay, so I have a lot of thoughts on this. Okay, first of all, we know that the grid is fragile. We’ve known that for, you know, decades. And I remember writing this big, intense research thing on the grid being vulnerable 10 years ago. And the reason it’s even worse now is as we get into AI and stuff is they get these components from China, and in those components are probably that. Well, not probably switches. There’s a. Yes, they have backdoor switches in them. And that has been well documented. So they have backdoor switches and all these components all over the place.

And it’s, you know, they’re just sitting there, ready to be exploited. Yeah, it’s very concerning, no question about it. You have a situation where this is beyond the potential inconvenience. This is national security 1,000%. You look at the amount of money that a country like China, you know, they get, they get a lot of crap for building out this infrastructure to nowhere. But wouldn’t you rather have an infrastructure that was being rebuilt? And even if it were to nowhere, at this point, their grid, their power grid is continually being updated and modernized. They’re building power centers, even like coal plants, coal processing plants.

They’re continuing to build their electricity and their energy infrastructure. They understand that is where really the future lies. In a digital world, in a sophisticated world, you have to have energy. You look at like the Europeans, like the uk they offshored all of. They got rid of all of their power plants, their nuclear power plants, and they’re reliant upon countries like France and other countries to provide the them energy. They’re reliant on China to provide them most of their natural resources. This is not a good thing. I think this is what President Trump is focusing on, because in this new order for the military bases, they don’t just talk about being able to sustain themselves for 90 days off grid.

They want to stockpile natural resources. They even say things like rare earths and even mobile nuclear power generators. I mean, this is. It’s interesting when you hear these things happening at the same time, you start to see hacks within the system. You know, a company like JP Morgan, Sarah pays 1 billion a month, Billion. A month on, excuse me, A year. Pardon me. They make a billion a month. 1 billion per year at least. That was a couple years ago on it security. So it’s probably more than that now. And so what does that mean for the rest of the world? Who doesn’t have the ability to.

Yeah, they can’t afford it. But I have a feeling that the hacks are going on all the time and the public doesn’t know about it. The fact that it’s gotten this big is that they can’t sustain it. Well, with Bitcoin you just can’t lie about it. That was too big. So they had, they couldn’t cover it up. So the really, really, really big ones, they can’t hide. And, and it all coincides with the weirdness of preparing. So I always think I’m my conspiratorial hat. I always think there’s multiple agendas going on. Like they, they, people should prepare, people should do this.

And maybe it is altruistic and there’s groups that are saying, hey, we should tell these people that. But then there’s another group going, huh? How can we leverage this for what we want? Yeah, well, of course, you know, never let a good crisis go to waste. That’s exactly what is happening. And when you look at these crypto exchanges like Binance and Polymarket, which really isn’t crypto, it’s a betting, but sophisticated betting platform. To me, when they get hacked, it screams of we need regulation and let’s bring the feds in here to regulate everything. To regulate, you go back to the beginning of Bitcoin when it was supposed to be completely and totally disassociated from the system.

You have a COMEX contract attached to it now. So we have traders, you have it being completely ring fenced by Wall street and financialized with the ETFs. And you, you now have what is, you know, they’re showing you just what can happen, whether it is, whether there are other agendas or not. You will now have the push for regulation. So everything that crypto was supposed to be, you know, and completely decentralized and from the system is being rushed into not only Wall street, not only the CME group to trade it on comex, but now to get it regulated.

And that’s what you’ll see. I mean, because when you can watch billions of dollars in 60 seconds just siphon away, that’s not good. And I think people are going to start to really, really push for crypto regulation. And you could argue, could that be misdirection? Could it be what they’re pushing for in order to bring in the regulation into the space? Hold on one second. You’re okay? Sorry, I’m getting a glass of water. No, take your time. I’m like, trying not to cough. I hate that. Don’t you? Hate. Yes. Is that your husband? Say hi. Andy says hi.

I think you’re filtered out. Oh, so at the kids. Little kid glasses. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I’m still recording. Just can’t get yourself to throw them away, can you? I know. Do you still have all your little kid glasses? Yeah, of course. I know. Okay. What were you saying? So we can dial in? We’re just talking about how this is. Is going to push for regulation. Regulation within the space. Okay. So I think that the AI. The AI companies coming out and saying that they. The attacks were ha. You know, when they were saying the AI went rogue and that it’s going too fast.

And I think all those CEOs that came on at the same time saying that there needs. It needs to slow down was a call for getting regulation because they are not making any money. It’s too low a profit, and they want the government to come in and secure their market position. So, you know, it’s interesting. That’s misdirection and it’s different way of thinking. I’m having dinner tonight with Katherine Austin Fitz, and she’s in town, and, you know, she said something to me the last time we had dinner, and she said, you know, Andy is my belief.

She said that Trump wasn’t elected. He was selected. And what do you mean, Katherine? Well, she said, I believe that there are powers that be that wanted to show the world or the United States just what can happen if left unchecked with election interference. And that he was brought in, selected to, in essence, bring in the right side and let them be comfortable with digital money and with digital IDs. Because if you go back to Sarah back in the day, the right side would have said, I will never take a digital form of money and I will never get a digital id.

But now the digital ID just passed as a form of election integrity. Right. They showed us how bad election interference can get. They’re continuing to show us with Alaska and other places, but if you don’t have a digital id, then you can’t have the fair and balanced elections. And that at the same time, you look at the genius act that has been rolled in, that this will be about convenience and expediency. So she thinks that the Entire election fraud that happen, which was so obvious for five days, the thing went down. You’d have to be an idiot to not think that there was an issue with it.

She thinks that was part of the plan to get everybody to bring in the digital ID and to open your eyes and say, if you don’t do this, well, this is what’s in store for you. So now you have an entire right side who would have been resistant to this saying, yeah man, you know what, I’ll take the digital ID so that crap doesn’t ever happen again. You mix that with the digital money that goes into effect in January. You have entered the digital surveillance state and you’ve done so willingly, you’ve done so thinking, you know, and what is, what did Ben Franklin say something to the extent of when you give up a freedom in the name of safety, you never get it back.

And that’s exactly what, in essence, what this is. You mesh digital ID with digital money and cameras every 30ft around the world. You really are within a system, a digital surveillance system, I think. Go ahead. No, I’m just saying you look at the technology behind the digital money and Visa and ultimately how all this can integrate into a digital ID for travel. You see that there and the ability to access money and ultimately put your health records on it and all of this stuff. It’s frightening to think where this ultimately goes and we are willingly walking into it in the name of safety.

Well, I think that’s what they’re trying to sell it is safety, which is. But there are people pushing back, you know, with the flock cameras and things. And it’s actually weirdly coming from the left. Right. Probably because the rights in power. But I was in meetings lately because I’m helping to do, build, do some business development and stuff. And the, what you’re saying, you know, with tokenization and the whole infrastructure that’s coming down from above, it’s coming down from the central bankers and they’re pushing it down through governments and everybody in this space. They don’t feel like they have an option.

Like if they want to even function as a business, they, the majority of them feel like they have to do this. Well, that’s the point. And, but it’s also in many cases being done willingly without, without coercion. And I agree with that. That’s, that’s, that’s her point, that nothing is as it seems. But, but hold on one second. They’re doing it willing, willingly, sort of. I mean, in the sense that I think the people on the street that are fighting back. Those are the ones fighting back. But a lot of the people in companies feel like they’re going to lose their job if they do something different.

They’re not going to have the investment funds that they need. They’re not going to have the contracts because it’s the government contracts that are. We’ve become almost like a fascist. We’re really pretty fascist now where government’s involved in almost everything. Yeah, no question about it. And these are supposedly the good times. Wait until the, again going back to the grid when the music stops because the data centers aren’t able to be built out or the electricity infrastructure assumptions don’t pan out and you have too much froth and way too many companies I believe will end up failing.

You know, the, the rest of the economy is already in deep recession. You look at the s and P500, literally the majority over 400 stocks are trading at, you know, at, at, you know, they’re Damn well off 20% off their all time or off their highs, which would signal into a bear market. The majority of the stocks in The S&P 500 in the economy are in bear market territory where 10 stocks are leading the way. That’s happening right, right now. And then you have the cost of electricity, which is skyrocketing, which makes the cost of everyday life expensive, which hurts the quality of life, which puts strain on the businesses and the data centers.

But Andy, you know how this all plays out. They put all this investment in AI and AI is not making much money. So you have Google, you have all these big companies coming out. Google didn’t hit their margins this time or hit their price expectations. So they’re taking a bath. It’s happening across the board. Very few, most of the tech companies aren’t making their numbers because they’re betting so much in AI and AI isn’t a profitable business right now. So we are dumping all this money into capital in non profitable businesses and our nonprofit area of the market.

And so all those 10 stocks, I think Microsoft’s doing well. They still have a cash cow that’s highly profitable. But all these stocks that are just way propped up there are not profitable like they used to. You see, Microsoft just laid off 60,000 people. That’s why they’re probably more profitable this quarter. Right? Well and that’s just it. I mean the data center infrastructure is already struggling to find itself. And you think about how fast this technology is changing and they’re paying all of this money and you wonder how fast will the stuff that they paid all this money for, which hasn’t even been installed yet, be obsolete.

We’d end up with a whole bunch of half built data centers and not an ability to negotiate the power rates because the cost of energy is going up. And you’re getting so many people that are really upset in these areas about the data centers that are being built because they’re creating issues with rising energy costs. And at what point do the does the. Especially if we see things move to the other side of the aisle, is there pressure to give energy, cheaper energy back to the constituents? And what happens to the data centers, to the buildup, to the private credit that’s funded it? These are all really scary things that are coming.

I think they’re coming ahead. And the problem is that much of this build out is saddled with massive leverage. And so I think if you end up being smart in this transition, you’ll be okay. You just don’t want to be on the wrong side of it. I think being on the wrong side of this right now can be very, very, very catastrophic if this starts to unwind. And that is when you look at, at things like Google. Well, Google claims the reason they didn’t meet their numbers is because they didn’t quite believe that people would actually use AI to search things out instead of using Google.

You’re beginning to see things change and assumptions change. And so yeah, I think it’s a very, very interesting time for sure to be watching this stuff. A quick break from the program to share with you Masterpiece. Masterpiece is the only product I have found that that stands by and proves to you that their product works. It removes microplastics, graphene, oxide, aluminum, all sorts of heavy metals and crap that you see in our environment. If you want to be more intuitive and you want to dream better and you want to sleep better, you want to get that crap out of your body.

This works and they stand behind it. You can even get a hair test for yourself to prove to yourself how much your levels of aluminum and heavy metals and all the other crap that you are being bombarded with have decreased over time when you use this. If you are Interested, go to sarahwestall.com under shop or use the link below. What is interesting, when companies get too arrogant thinking that they’re going to dominate forever, there’s always something that comes and takes over and even things that you think never would. You know, like movies for example. Did you ever think that movies in the theater would ever not really be the thing to do and they still are, but not like when we were kids.

Right. Because you have, you have all the streaming services in your home and movies of one hour movie doesn’t feel the same as a really well done series of, you know, show that’s like six series or six shows long or something. Yeah, it’s sitting on your couch. You know the only thing I really miss about the movies more than anything is the popcorn. But yeah, you know, it’s these are all considerations that things change and the best laid plans need to be reevaluated from time to time. And I think we’ll see those kinds of changes not just in, in our social life, but in our everyday life.

And there’s no question about it that this is coming and automation and AI is just going to replace so much of the things that we do. I don’t think anyone can even begin to think what the world look looks like five or ten years from now at the rate things are accelerating. The one thing, the one thing I would say it is, you know, Microsoft laying off 60,000 people is what they’re, what we’re going to start seeing in these big tech. The tip of the spear. It is, it’s that’s they have to automate, they have to reduce.

Because if you look at China’s companies, their AI companies are, and some of these other countries are running AI with a shoestring budget. You know, just, they just don’t have the same people. Maybe China does, but any country now can with the brain power can really build a sophisticated AI. Right. You end up getting massive maximum efficiency at the expense of millions of jobs. And what does that look like? You get the rich getting richer, the big corporations getting more efficient and more profitable. And you can see that by watching the S and P, which you could argue is in the midst of a bear market where the majority of stocks are trading 20, 20% off their highs, which is kind of the definition of bear market territory where 10 stocks are keeping the S&P 500 profitable.

And it’s just a crazy thing. So you have a S and P that is becoming very profitable when the rest of the economy is underwater, in essence is what it’s saying. So that means the majority of people are struggling to keep ahead, but the very, very tip of the spear is making lots of money. That’s the K shaped economy. That’s the scary thing. And then you have, have, you know, this, this, this fighting between left and right and it’s almost existential. It’s like if you’re on the right side you feel this is, this is it, make or break.

If, if the left take over, you know, and they continue with their policies, their policies and their, their openness towards immigration and towards naturalization, you end up in essence, ushering a serfdom of, of lead, of a legion of voters, loyal voters who will never vote to get off, you know, the government subsidy handouts, and they’ll never vote Republican again. And you see things, just how desperate they are when you look at this Alaska controversy, which they allege, which is just a bunch of crap. It’s far past alleging and there’s proof to show it. The New York Times came out of all papers and wrote about this and more or less was saying this is crazy.

Even get the ladies from the View come out and saying this is not how you’re supposed to do it. But that they allege that there was an effort to confuse voters by putting a second Dan Sullivan on the Senate ballot list. Same name, right? Same. And that they were going all over the state looking for people with the exact same name and that it was deliberately arranged. And the New York Times says they have interviews and texts and documents that people connected to the incumbent, this Pelota Pelo, her campaign for the Democratic Senate, se. That they helped their operatives, helped recruit the second Dan Sullivan as, as part of a way to, to confuse people.

Yeah, to draw support away from the incumbent and people would be confused. That would, that would water down the votes for. So it would. That to me is enough to make that, that whole election not valid, of course. But if, and they, they say this goes much deeper, all the way up to, I think Chuck Schumer and his, his, his Cabinet, his, his staff. But that’s the point that, you know, we are right on the edge, you could say, of some major change. If they’re willing to do this right now, what do we know? What don’t we know that’s happening on a bigger scale? And if they’re willing to do this right now, you know what happens if there is a change in, in the House and the Senate and, and in the presidency.

Where does that, where does that lead us? And, and you talk about the cost of living, which, how this is going to affect people, the changes that we are seeing and why people are more disenfranchised. Why are we seeing these socialist candidates gain steam congressionally and approval. It’s because you look at a Fed 2% inflation target. It’s been almost 70 months since the last time inflation was below 2%. It was in the middle of the lockdown in 2021. Over this period, the dollar has lost almost 23% of its value. In other words, it now costs $130 to purchase the same goods that it cost $100 in 2021.

Since 2021. Right. The cost of living is accelerating, and it might even be more than that. That’s by their own books. But the costs of L cost of energy is accelerating. You have the cost of energy inflation, which is accelerating. You have all of this stuff. So at the same time, maximum efficiency for a handful of big companies and an S&P 500 where the very tip of the spear is going higher. So if you own assets, if you’re wealthy and you bought assets, you’re doing very well, but everyone else is. Their dollar’s going less and less and less and less far.

People are getting laid off, like Microsoft, 60,000 people, people. And then you have this kind of infighting. It’s like this is far more than just what we’re talking about. It’s symptomatic of. I know. It’s even hard to say what it is symptomatic of. It’s a soft civil war. It’s the fourth turning. Right. It’s like the fourth turning. There’s all of this good versus evil, left versus right, blue versus red. And it’s just. I think it’s never been more important. And the funny thing is, you look at the price of gold and silver getting destroyed, it is.

They’re killing it. Which is bothersome, however, not really. If you look at the amount of deliveries that we’re seeing, the biggest money in the world is using this softness to stand for delivery. Yes, they’re suppressing it so they can buy more just to buy the real thing. And that’s the key here. And if you look at a US Government who is classified both gold and silver critical, gold by executive order, silver by the classification of it in the geological survey. Wouldn’t it make sense if you needed to rush to accumulate, that you knock the price down, to knock the wind out of all of the speculators and then stand for delivery in massive levels without anyone really even paying attention? That’s exactly, exactly what we’re seeing happen right now.

So strange, confusing times, Sarah. They truly are. They’re very strange and confusing. But I think you take a step back and listen to your gut. You know, it is almost the holidays, thankfully, and there is a distraction. But I do think that as we head into the midterm, after the midterm, and we get a little Bit of clarity. I would think things are going to be, as the Chinese curse says, very, very interesting. May you live in interesting times. We will be living in, I think, after the new year. New year in January, I think, is when we’re going to really start seeing things get weird.

Maybe it’ll get weird right away after the election, but I think the politicians and everybody kind of, they chill out, you know, they decompress and then they’ll take their holiday and then they’ll ramp it up. That’s what I’m thinking is happening. I mean, I could be wrong, but that’s. Well, we’ll see. It’s not too far away. Certainly, I think a lot will be more clear after the midterms. And, you know, there was a very interesting video that James Rickards did where he intimated that there was going to be a, a rollout of all of these indictments.

So maybe we’re beginning to see them. Well, whether. Do you think the indictments, do you think the indictments will come right after the election or do you think they’ll come in January? Because they might do it right away because they want to do it in before all those politics, politicians take office. I think they should do it right away. I mean, you know, and, and then there’s the realization, Omar from Minnesota, that the, the, the Obama administration, that, that they’ve, they believe that she indeed did marry her brother in order to get him his green card.

And that’s. That it was factual and proven for. But, but never by the administration. And, and their head has been declassified. That they knew it but that they believed it was part, it was past the, the, the, what’s it called? The statute of limitations. Right. And so, but the point of it is, is that they understood. Hold on one second. They did understood and then didn’t do anything about it. But if it was past the statue of limitations, can they do something about it now or did they figure out a way to go after. To make a go ahead.

It’s, it’s deeper than that because they, they would get her on things like this, that she’s living under a different name, that she, she was naturalized by, by falsifying her ad. Her age. If you’re under 18, it’s automatic. If your parents do. If you’re not, you have to be naturalized yourself. And now there’s even questions as to whether her father ever got naturalized. It’s immigration. My understanding she was, she was, she lied about her age, claimed she was under 18 and she wasn’t. And so she, she shouldn’t, she shouldn’t be a citizen. Right. And, but if she’s, if, if a representative, congressional representative is lying across the board like this, you know, it’s, it’s just, it’s just not right.

You look at her wealth. She came into, into Congress with under 40,000 to her name. Now she has over 35 million. Things are not right. And I think people are beginning to understand that you have to shine a light on this stuff. And the worst part about it all is you have all of these Democratic congressmen and women who sent a petition saying they can’t believe that the Republicans would do this, this administration would do this during an election because it’s interference in the election. Well, you look back at what they did to President Trump, it’s unbelievable, the amount of hypocrisy, but that’s what I’m getting at.

This is a very, very important time. People need to get out and vote, period. And hope that we have fair elections. And because you can see just how much things will change if the left gets hold of this. When you have congressional candidates that are gaining traction on a socialist platform, you know, you’re from Minnesota, so you know how bad it can be. Well, let’s pray for Michelle Tafoya. I’ve met Michelle many times. She’s a very smart lady and she’s a cool lady, you know, Monday Night Football reporter, she’s a cool lady. Was on the K Fan, the sports station in Minneapolis.

She was on kqrs, the rock and roll station. I say this only because she was just a cool, down to earth gal who, and very smart, who you’d want to talk to about anything. She didn’t seem like a politician to me, ever. And the fact that she’s running, I think she genuinely cares about the state. I’m hoping that they pull a stunner in Minnesota because if you’re from Minnesota like you and I are, you know that when you get outside the Twin City area, whether you start going anywhere into the rural area, it’s completely red, it’s different.

It’s a big blue circle in, in the city of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Outside of that, it’s not. And I think you know it. This would be amazing to, to see that congressional seat be, be taken back. A big step in the right direction. Yeah. Gosh, it’ll be some pretty strange times coming here. And I think that the bigger, I’ve been saying forever and so many of us, you know, the, the big reset, the economic reset, I think we’re going to start seeing really what that means in January when the genius act comes through. I, I think we’re going to start seeing that.

I also think we’re going to see many companies laying off more people because they have to run more lean. AI is not as profitable and they’re investing it all there. It’s cost of money is going up to with rising inflation and rising interest rates, cost of money. And I think that I do one thing, I would say that all these jobs are going to eventually be replaced. I do think that it’s going to take time for this AI to integrate into companies because there was a survey that came out that asked a thousand leaders of companies would they rather have MBAs or people with AI skills.

And they almost 100 AI skills because they don’t have the talent to integrate the AI and automate the way they want. And so that’s the bottleneck right now is the skills to use AI to automate stuff. So I think it’s a little bit what we said at the beginning of this conversation, hacking. If you have companies like JP Morgan that spend a billion dollars a year on IT security, what happens to all of the smaller mid sized companies as this gets more and more sophisticated? Does that mean they just can’t compete? And if you can’t compete, does that mean you can even operate in a world of this kind of real threats that are out there? And so yeah, I think that your mind can go down a rabbit hole.

But it’s never been more important to kind of take a step back and try to focus on what’s really trul important. Letting this get more traction in this direction by an administration who I think would kind of derail everything that President Trump is trying to do, I think is one of the more concerning, frightening things that I can think of, to be honest with you. Because we’re kind of at that point, right at that inflection point, things are going to significantly change and we need to I think, hope and get out and vote and really hope that this works out in favor of this administration.

Not because I’m a Republican, I’m not, I’m kind of a political atheist. I would rather vote for the Common sense party. But because the left, I think has lost most of their common sense and you can see what, what efforts they will go to, what lengths they will go to to reign in power. And if you go back and look at what the previous administration, the actions that they had done, they were too stupid to be stupid and they were destroying this Country. They were following the pathway of the Clower Piven theory to bring an entire serfdom of voters that will never vote Republican again.

It’s that important that we understand that we have to bring common sense back into the equation. And it starts right now. It does. Well, wouldn’t you say that. Because I’m not happy with everything that the Republicans are doing. But if you compare it to what we had before, like you were saying, it was so bad. It was so bad. And people are saying it’s like holding your nose and voting. It’s. To a certain point, it kind of is. Because the difference between the two is one is, are they ushering. This is where people. Are they. The Republicans.

Both parties. Parties. Here’s the deal. Both parties are going to usher in the digital id. Everyone’s going to usher that in. I don’t think, I don’t think anybody that comes in is going to stop that. But the stupidity that we saw when the Biden administration was running things was so bad, if we. And in Minnesota, what we see with the fraud and the stupidity is so bad. You can’t go back to that. That. Well, I mean, look at the pushback by Governor Newsom about having to have an identification to vote. I mean, he believe he passed a law saying you don’t.

I think that can be usurped federally. But you know, just the stupid statement alone. But that, that is stupid. But are they gonna. But I don’t think they’re gonna fight the digital id. That’s my point. They’ll fight. Well, if you have to have a digital ID in order to vote, it kind of throws off the entire. Your ability to have people vote who aren’t even identified, who don’t need identification. And I don’t know. I don’t. You know what I mean? It’s like. Because the whole insidious new reset. Digital id, Digital, digital money. Track everything we’re doing.

I can’t see any party really fighting that. And all they do is make sure that whoever’s going to make sure that goes through is in public power. That’s what. Well, once it goes through, there’s no going back. And at that point, you know, think about how close you are then to a cashless society. You take cash out of the equation, then they know who you are, what you’re buying, when you’re buying it. They control the money. They control the ability to program that money. You look at the, the Genius act and, and the stablecoin legislation, they never addressed the programmability and you can see that because when, for example, example, when this hack occurred at Binance, you had both Circle and Tether freeze a couple billion dollars worth of stablecoins.

When the IRGC Iranian guard, when Tether noticed or identified four wallets belonged to the irgc, not only did they know who they were, but they were able to freeze them at the smart contract level. So they’re programmable. They know who you are, what you’re buying, where you got your money, and they can stop it. Now you take it to the digital ID and then take it a step further. You know, well, you didn’t get your vaccination. You’re out here trying to buy groceries with your digital ID and your digital money. We’re going to hang onto those and call the authorities.

I mean, now you can take it, it sounds almost, you know, that’s like 1984ish. But how far are we away from that last step? Not far. First you have to get the ID in and the digital money and the acceptance of it because it’s for our own safety and election integrity, property. And then bang, you’re one step away from saying no more cash. So anyone who has ever dealt in cash and finds, you know, sanctity and holding cash and privacy or whatever, goodbye, it’s over. And then you wonder, you know, what happens to all the black markets? What happens to these kinds of things when you can’t, you can’t be, you know, remunerated for anything that you’re doing in anything other than digital money.

It’s very concerning, it’s very frightening and it’s. But it’s here to your point. And if they usher it through, then it just goes to show there’s a bigger agenda than any of these politicians are even focusing on, that whoever’s pulling the strings wants to control all of us. That’s right. What was the statement that J.P. morgan made? I think it was J.P. morgan. It could have been Rockefeller, I don’t remember which one. But it was something to the extent of give me control of a nation’s money supply and I care not who makes its law laws.

So something to that extent might have been Rockefeller, it was Rothschild, but. Rothschild, there you go. But the point of it is, is that you give control of the, of this nation’s money, the ability to control it digitally and then you throw in the id. These are very, very crazy times. So whatever that means, it means people need to think outside the box. I think people need to get, you know, get out there and, and, and Throw their hat in the ring at least in terms of casting a vote. Well, I agree to at least get involved and get involved more.

So we always say get gold and silver. I think buying silver right now, it’s silver that I really think people need to get. I honest to God, all this, this high tech world. Silver is 40 to 50% more conducive than gold. It is the most conducive metal on the planet. I’d like to make one comment about the people who have purchased because we’ve seen a correction, quite a big one, no question, which I believe is being betrayed by the deliveries. But I want people to know that if they’ve purchased metal through us or anyone for that matter, at much higher prices.

There’s something called the precious metals tax swap that people should be aware of in securities. You can’t do this. It’s called the 30 day wash rule violation insecurities. You cannot sell a stock stock, book a loss and then buy it back immediately. You have to wait 31 days. It’s called the 30 day wash rule. With commodities you can completely legal. So let’s say you bought silver at 80 bucks. You can sell it right now for it’s about a 2% spread. 2 to 3, excuse me, percent spread depending on size of the order. Book the loss and buy it back immediately.

When you buy it back immediately, you’re buying it back with the credit that you used used to when you sold. So in essence, let’s just play this out. Let’s just say you sell $10,000 worth of silver that you book a loss on and then buy it back immediately. You get back 2 or 3% less. But the loss in privacy in repurchasing it would be writing a check or sending a lawyer. So not only do you get to write that off, capital gains or regular income, 3,000 a year, you can carry that forward as long as you’d like.

You showed the IRS, hey, I sold all my stuff in 2016. Well, what’d you do with the proceeds? Well, if you were ever audited and you had to show, well, I decided to buy it right back. It’s legal. Completely. Okay, cool. But if not, that gold and silver is invisible because you sold it, you booked a loss, you just took the proceeds and reapplied it towards the repurchase. Now this is a loophole. It is a legal loophole and I think because of crypto, which is deemed in many cases private property, it will change. The loophole is going to go away.

But we’ve been Doing it for years, and we have legal opinions on it, that it only applies to securities. You can do the same thing with crypto, and I think that that is where the attention is, is I did that with crypto. Yeah, I did that with. But you can do it with metals too. You could. That’s. People need to do that. Sell your crypto, sell your metals, buy it right back, do a lateral move on yours and get privacy. I’m getting it back because you never wrote out a check. And also with crypto, do a lateral move to get into the.

The cryptos that are backing this new system instead of cryptos that were kind of the old way, if you are even in cryptos. And then this. That’s really a. That’s really good that you told people. I’m going to tell people in the intro too, because I think that’s incredibly important. It’s huge. Huge. It’s a huge savings on your taxes. It’s huge savings. And it also gives you privacy on reacquiring the position because you, you sold it. I didn’t buy it back. I never wrote out a check. If you had to prod the truth, sure. Here it is.

It’s legal. It’s, it’s. What do you mean that it hides it? What? What do you mean? Okay, so let’s say you sell $100,000 worth of metal at a 30% loss. You have a $30,000 loss. Cost you 2 or 3% to do so. So you pay 2 or 3 grand to do it. Worth of metal or cash. If you send a check, but you now get that write off. Right. So now you sold it, but you want to buy it right back. So we just reapply the credit. Credit that you have from the sale to the purchase.

Now we can say if. Well, it costs you 3%, we’ll send you back 97%. The. The metal has to change hands. So if it’s in a storage facility, it’s really easy, but let’s use. It’s not. You send me $100,000 worth of metal. You book your $30,000 loss. You don’t want to write a check for the $3,000. You could. And then you just send you back everything you say, just send me back 97%. So we send you back 97% of the metal. Metal. You send it to us, we book the loss. We send it right back to you.

When you present to your accountants and Your, your. The IRS. You sold your metal in 2026. No one ever says you, Sarah, what’d you do with the proceeds? None of your business. The proceeds were then just reapplied back to what you bought back. You never wrote a checkout for it. It’s invisible, legally. Right. You sold it, but there’s no paper trail pointing to the repurchase of it legally. Now, you could show it if you have do. This just gives you the ability to repossess it without having to write out a check again. And in essence, it’s invisible legally.

Does that make sense? That makes sense. I didn’t. I sold all my metal in 26. Yeah, I decided to go a different direction. Okay, great. Well, now you’re sitting. It looks like you sold it, but you still have it. That’s correct. Now, we would send it back to you. The key to doing this, you can’t do it half ass. You have to do it legitimately in order to pass pass the sniff test. And that is you sent it in. We sent it back to you. If it’s in a storage facility, we move it. We move it back.

Everything is done within the bounds of legality. And we’re just showing you how you can maximize your privacy legally. Now, if the IRS said what did you do with the proceeds? Well, it’s right here. I just bought it back. Oh, okay. So I’m saying the IRS isn’t going to ask you that unless you were ever audited. You didn’t do anything illegal. You’re just maximizing your privacy within the bounds of legality. Oh, that’s excellent. Okay, I get it. Thank you. Thank you, Andy. Have a wonderful weekend. I. I am now back in town for looks like the remainder of the year.

Been a lot of travel, a lot of craziness. I thank you for. For being so accommodating. I looked off early morning. It was black outside. Yeah. Well, enjoy. Enjoy your day. Enjoy your weekend. Stay well. Well, we’ll catch up in two weeks. And as always, thanks for having me. Sarah.
