They suggest that to find the truth, one must look beyond mainstream media and explore alternative sources. They also discuss the complexity of tax policy and the challenges of debt management. Lastly, they express concern about the lack of transparency and accountability in financial transactions, citing an example of trillions of dollars that have gone missing from the Treasury Department.
➡ The U.S. government is borrowing a trillion dollars for a new defense package, despite only saving 160 billion. This has led to the Federal Reserve buying $55 billion worth of treasuries in a few days due to lack of demand. The world is losing confidence in our monetary and fiscal responsibility, leading to inflation and potential economic instability. This situation is worsened by the media’s misinformation and the government’s manipulation of economic metrics.

Lastly, it mentions the need for justice against those who have caused harm to the country’s economy and culture.
➡ Be careful when buying special edition coins as they can be overpriced and not as unique as claimed. Instead, opt for well-known, easily priced items like American Gold and Silver Eagles or Canadian Maple Leafs. Some gold companies charge higher premiums than necessary, so it’s important to shop around. There are reputable companies out there, but also some that should be investigated for overcharging.

Sam Sa but that’s neither here nor there. Look, I mean everything is, is cycles, everything is. But the truth of the matter is is that this is far more than just what we would call liberal. This is, it’s almost, it’s almost moving towards, you know, a socialist communist dictatorship of thought. It’s yes, it’s a central bankers dictatorship. It’s exactly what it is and it’s moving towards this, you know, this one world order. Just a brief interruption to the program to talk to you about peptides. I’m working with Dr. Diane Kayser to bring you guys peptides. I’ll have a link below so if you have any questions on any of this you can join join her tribe for a dollar and get all your questions answered.

But I have some exciting ones to bring to you. I’m using them too. I have this anti aging one that works wonders on helping the cell generation and building up your collagen. And then I have the Rita Troutide, if I pronounced that right the Rita Troutide has shown in studies, it’s amazing. And 36 weeks in human trials have shown an average of 24% reduction in body weight. Incredible. And then I have another one, slupp332. That one you can get in capsules. I call it the moron proof because you can get it in capsules, you don’t have to inject yourself, it’s not nasal spray but that one has is making in the bodybuilding industry is just game changer because in mice in the trials it showed a 12% reduction in body weight in four weeks.

It is, it mimics exercise, they’re seeing 70% greater endurance. I mean it’s just incredible. It’s taking that industry by storm and you can get it in capsules. And I have a link below as well. I’m very excited about this so I hope you join me in this journey and try some of these peptides. Okay so I have the link below or you can go to sarahwestall.com under shop. Welcome to business Game Changers. I’m Sarah Westall. I have Andy Schectman coming back again for Miles Franklin. This is our weekly financial update and we’re going to talk about the power plays again that’s going on worldwide.

But I wanted to ask him what his thoughts are of the central bankers and the high level financial guys and we’ll talk about that a little bit in the show coming from Canada and Mexico and you know, Carney being placed, what does that mean? It’s not just a politician being placed. This is a high level central banker being placed here. So we’re going to talk about what that means. We’re going to talk about what the. The Federal Reserve is buying back their debt. We’re going to talk about the fact that Doge uncovered 3.7, 3.7 or 4.7.

I should have that number in my. I should have had that written down. It’s one of those. It’s trillions of dollars coming out of the Treasury Department that it’s just untracked, untraced, like, where the heck is it? And I’m sure there’s more than that. That’s just what they found. And I have feeling this is my, I have no proof of this, but when that kind of hit the core kind of stuff happens. That’s the pushback. That’s probably why it got shut down. No more Doge. You can’t do that. You can’t disclose this kind of stuff. This is off.

This is too hot. You can’t go there. I think that’s kind of what’s happening. And then we’re seeing the convulsions between all these. And I talk about. It’s really bugging me that of these companies, some of these places, these outlets I used to go to to be able to find financial, good financial news, I can’t trust them anymore. They seem like they’re just DNC propaganda magazines right now. Anybody that’s quoting Maxine Waters now as a major source, like, what’s going on? It seems like, I mean, they’ve gone off the deep end. It’s like that everywhere. And you start to wonder what’s going on.

I can understand pushing back against what Trump’s done. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a unbiased, objective journalist. But this is not what we’re seeing. We’re seeing Trump derangement syndrome from, from these people. That’s what I’m saying. It’s not objective reporting anymore. I’m seeing that from people who supposedly are conservatives. Trump derangement. What is going on? I can’t take you seriously when everything you see is through the lens of that and you spin everything like that. I just, I can’t take you seriously anymore. I want the information and the facts and you can criticize it all day long, but when you are deranged and everything is that way, it’s hard to take you seriously.

And that’s what we’re seeing with so much of the media. I just want to see objective financial information. I, you know, I was telling them, I’m like, I look for this stuff. I just want those nugget of by facts and then I can come up with my own interpretation because I don’t trust those interpretations anymore. And I don’t even know if their facts are right because their interpretations are so skewed and biased. I don’t know, I mean, what is going on? So I just want to warn everybody to be careful right now because there’s a lot of funny business going on and you have to be really careful what you’re reading and where you’re getting your news.

That’s why having these weekly conversations with Andy is so important and knowing who to talk to. You know, people that look, he’s like he was saying he spends hours every day looking for nuggets of data and information, financial information from all over the world because you can’t trust the western media right now. It’s really sad. And you got to get out of the country. There’s, there’s some that are still reporting the best they can, but you got to almost get out of the country to find all the. You got to have a well rounded look is my point.

So, so we talk about that. We also talk about the continued scams, IRA scams that are being uncovered. I have sent him dozens and dozens of people this week. If you are somebody that thinks that your IRA has been scammed, don’t be ashamed. It’s happening to a lot of people. Go I. This is what I urge you to do. If you converted an ira, go to your ira, see if you’ve converted quarter ounce gold coins or if you bought before this year, converted it before this year and you were still underwater. Those two things are a major red flag.

You. Nobody should be underwater if they bought it more than a year ago. And then if you have quarter ounce gold, the problem is it’s really hard to sell and liquidate those and so you get hose twice. So look for those red flags and don’t be ashamed. If you’re somebody who’s been scammed, you are not alone. There’s thousands of people. It’s really sad. If you have go to sarah wessel.com Miles Franklin fill out that form and we can help you. I’ve been sending it to Andy directly and he’s giving it to his top guy. And they are making people whole.

It’s really. I’m telling people, I’m just. This is something that’s refreshing for me that I can do something where I know it’s helping people so if that’s you, do you know, please. And then also know if, if you are looking for a reputable gold company to use, know that Miles Franklin is somebody that’s not going to hold you over. You can trust them. You can trust them with your ira. You can trust them buying, you know, where you can buy gold and silver. Plus, I really want to support a company that’s like this, that has these kind of values and morals.

Right. That’s the kind of people that we want to be in business with and associate with. Okay. Sarah westall.com Miles Franklin. Okay, let’s get into this really good conversation I have with my friend Andy Schectman. Hi, Andy. Welcome back to the program. Good to see you, Sarah. Thanks for having me again. Yeah. Well, our Friday night, I tell people we’re starting to get a following on this, our Friday night review. Economic, worldwide economic review. And I was telling you before we joined the program, I always had these staple places that I would go to review what’s going on in just the basics.

And I can’t even use that anymore because it’s like some of these people are just hemorrhaging and they, it’s gotten so, even these places have gotten so political that I can’t find good information without diving a lot deeper. And so it’s, it’s disappointing that we have so few sources of good financial information. Yeah. And that’s, that’s the part about people being very well read, just reading the wrong information. It is, you know, as someone who’s been doing these podcasts, not as long as you, but, you know, for going on five years now, and I do several a week, I need to spend an awful lot of time.

I have a narrative that I’ve been following for five years, but along those lines, there has to be pieces of new information to add to it every week. And it’s, it’s a grind. You have to spend an inordinate amount of time and you can’t just look on one or two sites. You have to scour everything from Twitter to Zero Hedge. I, you, I go to Taas, which is a Russian website. I go to Israeli websites. I go to Middle Eastern websites. I go to Chinese websites. I use different search engines that aren’t in the United States, all sorts of stuff to find information that maybe has a different bias than the Western bias, which is slanted fairly severely.

So, yeah, I agree with you. It is difficult. And, but you can get to that. Hold on. You can get every, every news station, magazine, newspaper, radio, they’re owned by five companies, so it’s hard to get diverse information. Well, and the thing is, is you can get that nugget of financial data. You don’t need to use their analysis of it, but you get the financial data and then you’re like, okay, now I need that. And you get that and that and then you put your own picture together because you can’t use their picture because their picture, a lot of times, depending on who it is.

I’ve been so disappointed. I’ve been in this game for a. So now when I see this I’m like, oh, this is bad. I know it’s being biased and spun and, and so I just look for nuggets of data and then, and this is, I’m just trying to. So people can start to see through it themselves. You look through nuggets of data and then you’re careful about their spin on it. Because the spin on it is almost always an agenda. Of course. Absolutely. And that’s the hard part. I mean there is very little non biased reporting of anything any longer.

And typically the media bias is slanted against anything that is Trump related or anything that he’s trying to do to positively affect the economy or the country is spun negatively. Isn’t that crazy? Because then you start wondering why would you purposely try to harm. Unless they really. But see, when I’m reading this, I can tell that there is a lot of this isn’t genuine. So I’m wondering where is this coming from? And I think it comes back to the five, the five companies that own this. And then maybe above that there’s even less. That’s where I think it’s coming from.

And so this bias is true. And you know, I did that thing on mind control and fifth generational warfare and some of these people might actually be manipulated and they don’t know it for sure. I mean, that’s what, you know, that’s what media is in essence. It’s a form of propaganda, which is a form of manipulation. I mean, call it what, what you want, but it is a form of manipulation. And you know, it’s a very powerful tool. Just look at the divisiveness between the left and the right. It’s epic. We’re supposed to be the United States of America.

We’re supposed to be united. You’re supposed to have, you know, polite discourse even if you don’t agree. But you know, it’s become visceral and, and you know, you can owe a lot of that to the media, I think, and the way that they portray things, misinformation, disinformation, fake news, whatever you want to call it, not fair, not balanced, not unbiased. And, and that’s, that’s why people need to. So I’ve always said, you’re more than the news and the media, than the news and the media are you. We. People need to, unfortunately, in this day and age, spend a good deal of effort if they want to know the truth by exploring alternative media.

And that’s true, you know, and, you know, people like you have always substantiated what you talk about, too, so that. That’s important. And it’s becoming harder and harder and harder to substantiate things when you have to dig further and further and further to even find the. The beginnings of the truth. I know. That’s what the hard part is. Okay, well, I had the Assistant Secretary of Tax policy on my show back years ago. He was under Bush 1. And one of the things that he taught me was, and we met a lot back then, and one of the things he taught me was that tax policy is how they make policy, because they can’t.

It’s so hard to move the needle in any other way that they use tax policy to change behavior. And so when Trump says that he wants to eliminate tax, what is the likelihood that Congress, because my understanding is Congress needs to approve it. What is the likelihood that they would do that, knowing that tax policy is so much what they use to direct behavior? Well, I mean, I think it. It makes sense to do it, albeit you’re right, the President does not have authority to unilaterally eliminate the taxes. Tax code changes have to come from Congress.

It does make sense to do it, though, for certain, for sure. I mean, it’s become so complicated that, you know, even your CPA can’t guarantee that what you’re doing is legal. And you’re probably, probably all breaking the law 12 times in doing our taxes. But they can propose tax reforms that do need legislative approval. You know, when you talk about eliminating it, it depends. Like, a 10% universal tariff wouldn’t even bring in $250 billion. Far below. It’s about 10 times below, if not 20 times below, what they actually bring in, in income tax revenue. So, you know, it’s one of these deals where you would fall significantly short, maybe tariffs, along with a universal flat tax on consumption, which would probably be far more fair.

But at this point, it just represents something of wishful thinking as far as I’m concerned. And you got the Congressional Budget Office, which is a nonpartisan group in Washington, maybe the last one that has said by 2031, 100% of all of this tax revenue that we bring in will go just to pay the interest on the debt and the mandatory entitlement payments, most of which are off balance sheet like Social Security and Medicare. That doesn’t take into account all of the discretionary spending like military, which has to be borrowed. We have to come up with 6 or 7 trillion by next month.

I believe it’s in June. That comes due in rolled over treasuries and 28 trillion by 2028. So, you know, in just a couple of how the hell do we come up? Even if you assume we take in 5 trillion a year in taxes, that gets us half the way there by 2028. So it’s become a situation where our indebtedness and the acceleration of the debt maintenance has put a hindrance to the ability to enact something like that. So I would think it’s more fluff and less substance. But making changes to things like no tax on Social Security, which is as it should be.

You already paid tax on Social Security. Why do you need to pay tax on what you get back of your own money? No tax on tips and overtime. Yeah, those are cool things that can be done. But eliminating the income tax, short of a complete overhaul of the system at this point, I wouldn’t bank on it. Well, you know, that’s trillions of dollars. Where is this money going if we owe, who do we owe it to and where the heck. That’s a lot of money that we’re giving to somebody. Well, the majority of the tax revenue is going right now.

Interest on the debt and mandatory entitlement payments and over a trillion dollars in interest on the debt alone each year to where whoever is, whoever owns our Treasuries. So we have to pay interest on those Treasuries. Yeah, I’m just, I’m just thinking, geez, think of the, the money and how that flows back. But Doge found three. I think it was $3.7 trillion just in one of their deep dives in the Treasury Department. And that they, I think this is what got them kind of in hot water. Is this because this is probably the most serious thing that they found, in my opinion.

I mean, there’s a lot of serious stuff they found, but this, because this hit at the heart. 3.7 trillion, I believe it was. Maybe it was 4.7 trillion. It was a lot. It was a 3.7 or $4.7 trillion of uncoded, like it was coded improperly. They can’t trace it to anything from the Treasury Department. That’s a significant amount of money. And what does that mean? And how can we continue in do running anything when there’s trillions that just go missing? Yeah, well, they only admit to saving at this point, 160 billion. So a lot of the things that they’re finding they’re not getting any help with Congress on.

And, you know, it’s a disappointment as far as I’m concerned. And it’s crazy that there’d be any pushback on what Elon Musk and the Doge team is trying to do. All of these politicians forgot that they have families, these people who are vilifying him and pushing back on his attempt to expose the corruption. And the malthesis is absurd. And even on the Republican side, you’re not getting a ton of help. You know, we save 160 billion, but we borrow a trillion for the new defense package. So, you know, Trump on one end is trying to expose this stuff and on the other hand is asking Congress to once again extend the debt ceiling, which it’s very complicated, confusing thing.

But I think it’s very, on one hand kind of disheartening that he’s only been able to really save us 160 billion, maybe highlight more, but not getting much in the way of assistance or help or follow through in, in doing anything about it. And this is part of the reason, I think, why we had to see the Federal Reserve step in last week and in essence purchase, let me give you the exact numbers here. They had to step in and purchase $34.8 billion worth of 10 year treasuries over two days, 14.8 billion one day, 20 billion the next day.

And that was on top of purchasing three year treasuries. 20.4 billion in three year treasuries, 14.8 billion in 10 year treasuries. So it’s 34.8 billion in 20 days. And then they bought another 20 billion in 10 year treasuries after the fact. So $55 billion in three and 10 year treasuries because there’s no demand for it. And normally the demand for our Treasuries is overwhelming by our foreign creditors. It’s the safest, most liquid market in the world. We’re told they’re all bailing, but they’re bailing and buying things like gold, which are outperforming it as a tier one asset with no counterparty.

Risk and yet we’re told everything is okay. So they look at our country as indebted, choosing inflation over austerity. That’s why the Fed chairman Powell had hinted at perhaps having to abandon the dual mandate that the Fed works under, one being stable prices a la inflation and the other full employment, basically saying if we don’t lower rates, which is highly inflationary, then the economy grinds to a halt and you see massive unemployment. But this here is lies the problem. So they try and bring rates down and they’re supposedly tightening right now, but quietly. They don’t tell anyone through a group called soma S O M A and it is, I don’t even know what the acronym is, but it’s an agency that goes into the market and buys these things on behalf of the fed.

It bought 3 and 10 year treasuries quietly as we’re still supposedly quantitatively tightening. That is stealth QE, that is inflationary. And it also is scary in the respect that where’s the demand for what is supposed to be the bellwether treasury, the 10 year, where’s the demand for it? And if you don’t even have demand on the three year, which is a short term duration, paying a decent rate, that should speak volumes that the world is tired of our monetary and policy, our fiscal irresponsibility, our sanctioning, which is a form of bullying. All of this stuff is, this is an effect of all the things that you and I have talked about for the last four years.

De dollarization, the growing brics conglomerate which is growing, accelerating and it’s accelerating. Yes, it’s starting to go up that curve. It’s accelerating and then we’re not getting help from anybody. You know, I want to recircle back to that Doge thing. I was talking to somebody the other day and they were saying that, you know, the state run media, CNNs of the world, they’re telling everybody that what you’re hearing on about Doge is all a lie. And I made the comment when I was talking to some people, I’m like, are these the same people that still believe in Covid? And they do, right? So it’s like, well if they still believe in Covid, we can’t believe them.

But the point of this conversation or why I’m bringing it up is, is that the media is telling people, the CNNs of the world are telling people that everything that Doge is coming up with is a lie. And how dangerous is that? That’s, that’s the point. That’s the underlying current of what we’re hearing. But what I wanted to ask you with Trump and Powell, they had very publicly a big public feud. Right? Powell and Trump have been feuding in the public. How much of that do you believe is actually occurring and how much does Trump have influence on what Powell does? It seems like he’s starting to have some influence.

Allah. The Fed buying $55 billion worth of treasuries over the period of three or four days. And normally you don’t see them coming in and buying the 3 and the 10 year. Typically they only will mess with the overnight lending rate, the federal funds rate. And if they’re going to buy anything other than that, they buy like Freddie and Fannie, you know, agency debt, mortgage backed securities. The fact that they’re using the SOMA group to quietly, with very little fanfare, come in and buy the three and the 10 year, that is yield curve. And if you control it, if you go back a month or so, you have Treasury Secretary Bessant saying that the real focus was on the ten year.

Because the ten year treasury is what so much of the world works off of. The credit card companies and to an extent the mortgages and the home equity loans and all of this stuff that makes the world go round. That’s mostly based off the tenure. The overnight federal funds rate is the very, very short end of the curve that doesn’t have the same impact on business lending as the ten year would. And so for them to come in and buy the three year and the 10 year, they’re trying to push those rates down. But the interesting thing is I haven’t looked yet today.

Let me see what it is. It’s been climbing higher. Let me just see. But this is, you know, the fact that they have to is important because if this collapsed, I mean, how, let’s just be honest here, if they don’t do some of these band aids and it collapses and the confidence collapses, a lot of people will die, won’t they? Because they won’t be able to eat. They won’t. It’ll be chaos. Well, I mean, but, but that’s, you could argue the confidence has already been lost. The. But it hasn’t collapsed completely though. Well, it hasn’t collapsed completely again, partially due to the western media which isn’t telling the story.

But if we really, if people really understood the relationship between interest rates and inflation and bond values, and if they really understood it, they might. And even though on paper they tell us inflation is coming down, the cost of living keeps on somehow keeps on going higher. And that’s because they lie even about the metrics by which we are being told. Everything is running under the CP lie issued by the bs, I mean the bls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It should be the BS in the CP lie because it is. They exclude food and energy and housing and if coffee is too expensive, they’ll replace it with tea.

And they continue to change. That’s right. And so all of this stuff is a lie and the world is catching onto it. You have treasury yields at 4.45% right now. Now, and that’s about where they were a month or so ago when he said he was going to start, you know, they were going to start making sure that rates would come down and, and the yields in the 10 year would come down. Now here they are coming in and buying 50 plus billion worth of treasuries, most of it in the 10 year and the, the rate is still at 4.45%.

So that, that’s a problem. And you can’t continue to lower rates from here because no one will buy your Treasuries. The fact that no one is buying them, the Fed comes in is a way of the market saying ah, you’re pretty strong and powerful Federal Reserve. But the market for the treasury market, which is enormous, the biggest in the world, the bond market, is more powerful than the Fed. And that’s the world’s way of saying no, we don’t want your Treasuries at this level. There’s a buyer for our debt at some rate. But my guess is it’s north of 5%.

And that’s a problem for what they’re trying to do to stimulate an economy. You’re looking at right now what amounts to an inflationary acceleration because the Fed’s coming in and creating money to buy the bonds at the same time. Rates aren’t cooperating, they’re sticky. Which leads to a slowing business cycle, to layoffs, to a more difficult time maintaining and servicing the debt. It’s stagflation. You’ve heard that word before. And if it got really bad, it becomes hyper stagflation where they just give up on inflation altogether and do their best to create yield curve control where they’re the only ones stupid enough to buy the 10 year treasury.

They create money, they buy the treasury to push down yields, but that creates hyperinflation. That’s the road to Weimar Republic. They’re in a very bad place right now where they should have just, you know, in 2008 Sarah, when the great financial crisis happened, the Fed’s balance sheet was at 800 billion. Today it’s gotta be, let’s see what it is. It has to be north of 8 trillion, but let me just see what it is. So in 2008 they had 800 billion and now they’re at 6.71 trillion. Supposedly right now it was as high as 9 trillion.

So but since 2008, all of those trillions of dollars that have been put on the Fed balance sheet would be buying things like Treasuries like mortgage backed securities, all of which are in an attempt to suppress interest rates. And it is the suppression of interest rates or the messing with mother nature that has created all these problems to begin with. Because when you suppress interest rates, you create distortions and misallocations in asset prices and in resources and in capital. Businesses expand thinking money’s cheap forever. People buy a bigger house, take out a bigger home equity loan, they’ll buy souped up version of the car and take out a 70 month loan, no interest, et cetera, because that’s what low interest rates or zero bound interest rates do.

They incentivize indebtedness and expansion. And then all of a sudden rates go up and now you got a problem because how do you service that debt? And that’s kind of where we’re at. So if rates go up, everything collapses. But if rates stay down and you reignite the inflation, it’s the same. It’s like given the guy that’s going through convulsions, who’s, who’s trying to get clean from heroin, giving him another shot so he shuts up. That’s kind of where we’re at. What’s happening. That’s exactly what’s happening. That’s a problem. Well, this is the most important thing in the world.

This and I, I think the two of the most important priorities in the world is this global economic shift that we’re having. And then also the mind control propaganda thing, that’s, I keep saying those are the two most important things in the world, period going on. And they’re all connected and they are. And let me ask you what this means. Carney, who just was elected Prime Minister of Canada, he’s one of the most, he was one of the most powerful central bankers in the world. Right? He was high up there. And then we have a former finance minister of Mexico who now I believe is the head of the bis.

You know, these are, these are big players on the world stage that represent a couple countries Right around us. What do you think that means to our region and what’s going on? Just by having Carney there or the former finance minister of Mexico up at the very top, what does that mean? It means we’re surrounded by liberal party on either side. It means that what Trump is trying to do, if indeed he is really trying to push back against the establishment, you can see that they’re not giving up easily. I’m shocked that Canada went with another leftist regime and, and, but a central banker on top of that.

I mean, these people do. People should not underestimate how he was one of the top central bankers, period. Right. And, you know, I mean, you’re talking. If we want to be realistic about it, this is an uphill battle. And let’s just hope that he does a good enough job, Trump does, so that we, you know, we don’t get engulfed by this same poisonous liberal ideology that is now surrounding us to the north and to the south and, and in the UK and, and when you say liberal, I want you to qualify this because I, I don’t think, because I know your background and stuff.

We’re not talking traditional liberal values that the United States was founded on. No, I mean, that’s not what we’re talking about. This is a different liberal attitude that you’re. This is the communist. This is a different thing. It’s not even communist. It’s a goal. It’s a worldwide takeover. Right. Yeah. I mean, look, my parents are hippies. I grew up in a house that was right out of that 70s show. I’m all about lifestyle and, and, you know, freedom of choice and expression. I’m far closer to a libertarian than anything. But this is, this is where something else meritocracy is usurp for lifestyle.

This is where, you know, they’re allowing biological men to play in women’s sports. This is, this is open or the fake climate change and, and going around governments to come up with their budgets based on carbon credit. Well, if you look at all industry and manufacturing, you know, you don’t hear much from the climate, you know, screamers. But if you look at the polar ice cap, it’s actually expanded this year instead of contracted. I know most people don’t really believe that. Do a little research and you’ll see it to be true. So there was a famous.

Hold on. There was a famous. Yeah, there was a famous scientist that was talking about the polar bears that were actually increasing a population and they fired her. She was like the top. I don’t remember her name, but she was the top scientist in that area and she, they fired her. Yeah, well, I think, again, follow the money. And it, to me is just another way for them to control. It is a form of control. But as far as stuff I’ve been reading lately, the polarized caps are actually expanding. But that’s neither here nor there. Look, I mean, everything is cycles.

Everything is. But the truth of the matter is that this is far more than just what we would call liberal. It’s almost, it’s almost moving towards, you know, a socialist, communist dictatorship of thought. It’s. Yes, it’s, it’s a central bankers dictatorship. It’s exactly what it is. And, and, and it’s moving towards this, you know, this one world order. Could it, could it. Yes, I could see it reigniting if indeed, you know, this Trump administration fizzles out and, and you have, you know, we elect, God forbid, someone like Gavin Newsom or whatnot next time, you know, you might as well just pack up ship and move on, because once they get a stranglehold, I think it will be very difficult to wrestle it back.

So let’s hope that these changes that President Trump are making are significant enough to at least encourage a little bipartisan support from the public and reunite the country under common sense. And, you know, it’s like I spent the first several years of my career talking to people your grandparents age from World War II, and, and you understand the struggle and, and the hard work and their relationship with God and religion, their, their relationship with honesty and integrity and individualism, and all of the things that were so important to those generations have completely and totally been forgotten.

And we go back to where we were the last four years. It’s a very frightening thought for the future of this country. So I’m hoping at some point, even with all of the media pushback, that the country can see that the things that he is doing are actually for the benefit of this country. Like lowering the cost of pharmaceuticals, like reshoring our critical infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, steel, AI, microchips, military or airplane parts. I mean, you can’t fight a war if you’re, you know, buying your, your military equipment from other countries and, and you can’t, in a pinch, help the sick.

If you’re buying your pharmaceuticals from China. I mean, all of these things need to be done. It’s going to be painful. And my only, my only fear is that the pain that will come as a result of doing these things will be focused on more than the ultimate benefit for future generations and our children and that’s, that’s the scary part. He’s fighting an uphill battle, whether it be with the media or the countries on either side of them and the rhetoric that we will see or even in the UK and you know, this deal that we supposedly did with the uk, this trade deal, it’s silly.

You know, one of my friends, Vince Lancy said it’s like two drunk guys leaning against each other, trying to prop each other up. You have the largest indebted nation on the planet and the second largest and they have a trade deal. Right. So big deal. Anyways, the bottom line is. That’s right. So what he’s trying to do is noble, but it won’t be easy. And hopefully people can see through the adjustment period and see the benefits on the horizon. That to me is something to be optimistic about. And hopefully that carries over into another four years of a regime that is focused on, you know, making this country self reliant and much stronger in giving our children a future that they can, you know, be hopeful and, and excited about rather than wondering what the heck they’re going to do in a world that is becoming less and less, having less and less opportunities, I guess you could say.

Yeah. And I, I’d like to see that administration, the Trump administration, tighten up their media, whatever’s coming out of the White House, because they’re doing some weird stuff. Well, I know that they let Zero Hedge into the, into the press room. I mean, they ought to have people like you, they ought to have independent journalists who, who are on, who are on the Internet, not just the big behemoths that, that distort and misrepresent the truth. Yeah, well, and I also hope some of their press releases they had, and some of these make America great again. I, you know, they put out a picture of the White House, put out a picture of Trump with the Pope hat on, and then they put out another video of them turning Plaza into this dream resort.

They gotta tighten up that kind of media stuff because they’re create. If they’re trying to truly do this noble thing that we’re talking about here, which we’re seeing actions, which is, tells me they’re really trying to do something they can’t, they gotta tighten that up. You can’t do stupid crap like that. Yeah, no, absolutely. And you know, we’re seeing more investment going into manufacturing. And you know, there you have companies that are pledging money, whether it be Apple or. Exactly. Big things right into building factories. And that’s good for the commercial real Estate. It’s good for employment, it’s good for all of this stuff, but it will take time.

And so, you know, those things have to be reported on also. That’s right. It has to be objective. Right. Not just the negativity that he inherited a tub of crap. The economy. And in order to do what he wants to do, which we need to have done, the hollowing out of our manufacturing, especially of strategic assets, can’t happen. We can’t bring all of our manufacturing back, but we damn well ought to have our pharmaceuticals and our strategic things like microchips and AI. If there’s a problem with the supply chain coming out of Taiwan, we shouldn’t have to have, you know, no cars being made because they all need microchips or, you know, and massive delays.

Those things are just silly. And, you know, if we’re trying to build ships and airplanes, we shouldn’t have to buy the steel first from China because we mothballed all our steel factories in, in Pittsburgh and all of these things. They’re true. And, but that’s the problem when, when you know, you’re. In order to, to make profits for these companies and make everyone’s stock portfolio go higher, you hollow out your manufacturing. Because the cost of manufacturing is so much less expensive around the globe. To bring that back not only takes time, but it has ramifications in supply chains and increasing costs, perhaps in business profits.

But in the end, it’s very, very important. We’ve kind of lost our bearings along the way and we need to get it back. Well, a country that makes things, then that’s true. And we, we can’t deny a manufacturing plant or steel plant or, you know, something that does rare earth minerals because of the pollution, if you will. We have to. Not that we should pollute, but I’m saying that you can’t have a zero tolerance and then send it to China or another country that’s polluting at 25 times what we would have done if we built it here.

Because that’s a false idea of helping the planet. You can’t be so warped where you want zero pollution here. So we’re going to send it someplace else. It’s going to do 25 times the pollution and then feel good about that. And then we no longer have our plants in the United States. Yeah. And. And are at a competitive disadvantage. And yes, all of a sudden they could say, well, we’re not going to send you pharmaceuticals anymore or the rare earths, which they did put a, you know, a halt on five of the rare earths that they send.

But we’re not gonna send you pharmaceuticals or steel or any of these things and watch how fast things go pear shape, so. Exactly. But they, but these are the things that they, the media should be focusing on, not the negative impact of them or as they do. And, you know, how can anybody, how can anybody be successful in this kind of media environment in the eyes of the American public if everything that happens, happens as negative? I mean, there’s a certain point where it’s like you’re trying to take down this country. And I, I think we have to be unbiased.

I mean, we have to be as unbiased and objective as we possibly can be. But when I see something so extreme in the other direction, it’s like, wait a minute here. You’re just trying to make people fail at that point. The one thing that I would say, and I don’t care that it’s vindictive. I mean, I think it’s deservant, is that it would be nice if Pam Bondi and the Justice Department came out and just opened the gates of hell on these people who have done these things with fact and proof. And let’s let people see for themselves that what these people did is beyond treasonous.

It destroyed people’s lives, it destroyed businesses, it destroyed the culture of this country in so many ways. And, you know, they’re kind of quiet about that. You know, why? Where’s the P. Diddy list? You’re right. That’s why we’re seeing everything. We’re seeing, we’re seeing a complete attack because they don’t want this information out. Well, and that’s just it. And, or their money train being dried up, what she did to Trump. And yet, you know, you hear a little bit about it on Fox. Why don’t you hear about it anywhere else that, that what she did was 10 times worse.

I hope they open up. I hope they prosecute her. But, you know, that’s the thing. These people who did all of these things and said all of these things and, and did what they could to, to turn this country upside down and the kickbacks and, you know, the, the, the bleaching of your computer and hammering it with the Clinton, all of this stuff, if they want, I think, to make some serious change, it would be about leveling the playing field. And it’s, it’s not about, you know, I’m going to one up or, you know, it’s about a media that’s portrayed this other side as being, you know, or really vilifying the other side and Trump in in particular, I think they need to open up to the public and say, well, here’s about a dozen things that had happened and maybe you’ll look at, at this effort and the, and the man himself in a different way.

I think that could very quickly level the playing field. And all of a sudden, all of a sudden you have a more united frontier where the pushback is against the institution, the government itself and the people within it who have corrupted it. Not one man who’s trying to bring change in in a positive manner. Yeah, that’s right. Okay, well, let’s talk about how people can get contact you. We’ve had, I’ve sent you what, 30 different people or more, just this or way more. And it’s really heartbreaking. Sarah, we’re doing the best we can to help these people who have been taken advantage of.

You know, obviously we do much more than that. But those people who have been taken advantage of, we try our best to counsel them, tell them what they can do, how they can, you know, the people they can contact, whether it be district attorneys or Better Business Bureau or commissioner of Commerce or, you know, any of these entities statewide that will expose and help them recoup their money, which is as far as I’m concerned, as egregious of outright theft as anything I’ve ever seen in 35 years of finance. At the same time, people who would like just to receive our price list, which we don’t publish, and provide a special one to your listeners, if you would indulge me, Sarah, what is sarah.com Miles Franklin I’d figure that out by now, but yes, and we will send that out immediately.

Any questions that people have on anything they ever hear here or establishing a precious metals IRA or questions about the one they already have, thinking maybe I was one of the victims of these. They shouldn’t be ashamed of it either, should they? Because they’re not alone. There are, I think there’s, we’re just talking to the tip of the iceberg. I think there’s thousands and thousands of people out there right now. Well, and again, I can say this because it was said publicly yesterday I was on with Mike Adams, the health ranger. He’s smart guy and he that’s where I really, I think, started talking about what I had been seeing with some of my clients who had gotten really messed up and tangled up with these other companies.

He told me he was offered a million dollars a year by these companies to promote them. One company in Particular turned it down immediately knowing that it just that’s not how things work and they’re a lot like that. So yeah, we’re happy to help any way we can and I think we’re making some headway. But any questions that people have or just the price list or anything we can do to help, we’re excited to do so well and to know what to buy from somebody who is honest. I mean there are so many with your ira you need to make sure you’re going to somebody who’s honest and know that you’re not going to be scammed and know you’re not going to be charged higher than you should premiums.

Well and that’s the key here. So the stuff that these companies sell, you can’t price shop. You can’t find it anywhere. And they say they’re special limited edition coins, which is a bunch of crap. You want to make it easy. Remember what your third grade teacher said? She, he or she would say kiss. Keep it simple. Stupid. American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs. Brand new coins. Not proof coins, just regular coins. The mint issues and sells for the dealers. One ounce gold bars that you can buy at Costco. One ounce silver rounds or 10 or 100 ounce silver bars.

This is all vanilla bread and butter stuff that you can price shop on every single major company in America like that and have liquidity like that and no subjectivity. And I mean that’s it. And it’s very easy. I mean if I had my choice, I would buy American Gold and American Silver Eagles almost exclusively assuming price because there have been times where the eagle prices go parabolic. But a gold and silver Eagle or a gold and silver Canadian Maple Leaf, you’re talking Pepsi and Coke. You’re talking vanilla generic, mainstream. Everyone knows what it is. If you’re a smoker, it’s a pack of Marlboro Lights.

I mean it’s just, it’s well known. It’s you’re not very liquid and non subjective and you can’t get ripped off, period. Well, and the other thing is, and this is something I’m learning too, is that the premiums that some of these gold companies are charging are higher than people should be paying. This is not high margin business. You’re talking. We’ve seen premiums in excess of probably 7:70. No, that wouldn’t be right. Yeah, it would be 70 times what we make. We’ve seen premiums in excess but I’ve seen some pretty reputable companies that, that aren’t necessarily scamming people with IRAs but are still charging four times the premiums.

Yeah, there are some items in which they do that and there are some items in which they create a market where there isn’t, for example, backdate Gold and Silver Eagles. I sell for less. A lot of companies sell them for more. If I have a mint box of 2022 Silver Eagles or 2019 Silver Eagles or 2017, I’ll sell them for less than a brand new 2025. Most of the companies out there sell them for more. I mean, look, the truth of the matter is it is a low margin business and a lot of these companies have to do something to make a living to stay in business.

Some of them don’t, some of them just choose to do this. But there are a lot of good companies out there, you know, I mean Money Metals and Atmex and SD Bullion, JM Bullion. These are good companies. Miles Franklin. These, these are companies that are legitimate, that have good track record, good customer service and I have no problem with it. And I would say that to anyone who asks me and there are others out there that should be criminally investigated and slash or prosecuted. And unfortunately, I wish I had the nerve or the stupidity, one or the other to say this publicly.

The names of the companies, I don’t, but it’s not hard to figure out who they are. And, and like I said, if you bought quarter ounce gold coins between 1000 and 1300, you probably got ripped off by these companies. And if you bought silver coins that are either fractional from like 3/4 of an ounce or a half ounce up to 2 ounces between 60 and 120 an ounce, you got ripped off. This is the MO on every one of these companies and it’s like they’ve all came from the same genesis and sprung out thinking, well, heck, if, if, if he can start a company and screw the public, so can I.

And that’s kind of the way that it’s all, you know, it’s incredible. They actually just do it. It’s absolutely incredible. But thank you so much for our weekly chat and we’ll see you next Friday. People are liking these. A live stream, isn’t that, is that. Oh yes. The 28th at, I think it’s 5pm Central Time. On the 28th of May, we are going to do a webinar live chat. I’m looking forward to it. Sarah, thanks for having me again. You stay well and chat with you soon. Okay, thanks. Bye. Bye. Sam.
