Transcript
Let’s go, go, go, go, go. Broadcast loud for the world to know. Here we go. Much welcome, everybody. Good to see you again. Welcome to the future of money and finance. Today’s episode is all about the blockchain. Now, if that term is new to you, the blockchain is a secure shared digital ledger that records transactions in linked blocks across many computers, making the data transparent, permanent, almost impossible to tap. With me, as always, are the two guys that make this video possible. I’m gonna bring them up so we can see their faces. Hi, guys. We have of course, our techno cool cat, our future financial technologies, tools and concepts expert, Rob Cunningham.
Rob, good to see you. How are you? Good morning. Great to see you. Great to see you, Jim. Yeah, you too. We have Mr. Jim Pugh. Jim is at the center of international finance and the absolute authority on all things spiritual about money and finance from a biblical perspective. It’s good to have you guys. I’m so blessed to know you guys and be able to work with you on this video series. Thanks to you guys, we can make this video series even possible. In today’s episode, our blessings are going to magically grow as the future of money and finance is now presented by our new partner in financial education, Iron Hawk Financial.
Featuring financial insights from Joe Lombardi. Joe is waiting backstage to enlighten us with financial strategies of the uber rich. Joe is the only one I know that’s sharing this and offering these strategies to us. The average investor, Joe is offering these strategies. He’s not your typical investor guy. He’s here to share the strategies of the super elite to protect grow wealthy your wealth exponentially. Stick around for our segment featuring financial insights from Joe Lombardi. This is not your typical financial advisor. As I said, he’s the only guy helping 4,000 clients and you to be your own bank.
Providing insights into using financial tools of the financial elite to gain greater control over your money and build wealth on your terms. Just like the central bankers do. Joel Will join us later in the show. Well, let’s get started. Rob, I’m going to come to you. First, let’s talk about the blockchain. The thing that is a secure shared digital ledger that records transactions in linked blocks across multiple computers, making the data transparent, as you call it, immutable, permanent, and we always want to point out it’s almost impossible to tamper with. It’s a sound money system that allows for decentralized banking.
The blockchain, doesn’t it, Rob? It does, Scotty. And you know, in preparing for this segment, I wanted, I asked myself, or challenged myself to write a single sentence to define blockchain. And I’d like people to, at least for a moment pause and think so much greater, so much bigger, so much beyond money and finance and think of it in this terms. This is a sentence that I wrote it. A blockchain is a decentralized cryptographically secured. Cryptographic just means it uses cryptography, an ancient form of codes and numbers to keep it secret, safe, okay? Cryptographically secured, immutable, which means it’s per, it cannot be muted.
It means it’s forever. It is a record of truth that can’t be silenced, can’t be erased and can’t be ignored, okay? It’s an immutable ledger that enables anyone, all people, all humanity, anyone anywhere to verify, exchange and permanently record truth, okay? Truth, ownership and value without requiring us to trust in any centralized institution. So when you understand what blockchain can do in every industrial complex, immutable, perfectly recorded truth, military industrial complex, the medical industrial complex, the media industrial complex, the money industrial complex, though this thing called life blockchain helps us record truth so we can live in truth.
That’s the point. I wanted to open up the show with Scotty. Excellent, excellent, Jim. When you first talked to me about the blockchain, you were explaining how it’s going to be much harder to bring the dark monies from the NGOs, the Soros, the ill gotten funds from human trafficking and drug trafficking. Explain how this is a much more secure system, Jim. Well, it starts out by identifying the type of transaction and the transaction is tied to a user because you have to have an account to be able to do the transaction. And the connection point between the user and the type of transaction that you’re doing will generate an audit string that will prevent the ability of bringing in any money that is not already pre registered because every one of the transactions that go through the system from the time that the system is loaded now you got to remember when we go to this blockchain system, all the currency, digital currencies that goes into the system has a pre coded identifying number on that transaction.
And it’s only those monies that can transacted inside the system. So there’s no money outside of the original loading of the system that can come into the system because the database user transaction and they begin to move money. If they try to move money that is not preloaded into the system, it is going to reject the transaction. So this presents the dark money, the money that is is generated from illegal activities that is not pre registered in the system to be, to be basically taken out of the system and not being able to put into the system, preventing then the dark money from ever entering into the hub.
Very interesting, Rob. From the standpoint of using the blockchain as a person moving money around, there’s not much I’m gonna need to learn about how to use the blockchain. That’s all happening in the background. Isn’t, Absolutely is. I mean it’s. Blockchain is a protocol. It is a, it is an infrastructure. How many of us think about every time we breathe in and exhale and inhale or send an email and we analyze, oh my God, I wonder how many hops this thing took and hover over many servers and if how did it get from my Apple account to your Gmail account? We don’t, we don’t think about infrastructure.
But infrastructure doesn’t just happen. There have to be defined protocols and a common language of truth in order for interoperability via the blockchain to happen. And if we want interoperability and truth among 207 nations and 8 billion people, there has to be a defined protocol that only lets truth be recorded and not let false counterfeit shadow people, fake accounts, bots that are unregistered, doing all kinds of nefarious things off camera, behind the curtains and unknown in an invisible way. If we want to have accountability in this world, we have to have accounts and the accounts have to be real and registered and there has to be, as Jim said, an audit trail.
The blockchain is a protocol that gives accountability to true account holders, to hold them accountable to truth that’s immutably recorded on the blockchain. A lot of people don’t want that, Scotty. A lot of people would rather see Trump, Fed, MAGA go away and the blockchain never be approved because they don’t want to be held accountable. Blockchain holds everybody accountable. I was Just going to ask Jim about it. You know exactly where I’m going, Rob. So Jim, you’ve been around international finance, you’ve worked around the cabal central bankers, Rob is spot on. They don’t really, they’re not too excited about this, are they? No, no.
Because in essence what they do is they get cut out of the system. This process of tagging every dollar in the system, you got to realize that when the treasury loads the system up, every dollar that is in the system contains a unique code tied to a database inside the system that’s controlled by the treasurer. So you can’t bring dollars into the system that’s not preloaded and you can’t utilize the dollars in the system for any illicit activities. So this is something that basically takes the cabals agenda and tears it apart. And they, they don’t like it because they, they’re in the process of generating dollars.
And with the fiat system they can actually have a printing press to do it because they could bring money in in various ways, off ledger, own ledger, so forth and so on. Pallets of cash Barack Obama sent to Iran. Okay. So they can do things in, within the fiat systems. It will not be allowed to be done in the blockchain systems. It’s really interesting. We’ve all been frustrated at times with the long time it’s taking. We’ve heard about this reset. I’ve heard about it going back to 2014, Jim. I know you’ve been working on it longer than that, Rob, you’ve probably been aware of it for a decade or more.
And one of the reasons it is taking this long is the adoption of the blockchain. This is not going over easy with the central banking cabal and the. We’ll just call it spade a spade. The Luciferian satanic cult that’s run the world doesn’t want transparency. So Rob, this is really going to create the secure money system we’ve been waiting for. The blockchain, isn’t it? Yeah. And if you consider truth to be security and truth, if we live in truth, truth will set you free. I’ve read that somewhere. You know, I’ve also read that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
If that’s what we worship, if that’s what we seek to solve everything about every. If the ends justify the means and more money equals more power, more control and more happiness or more success, then you’ll do anything and everything to get more of what you think is going to provide you happiness and success. If you Think it’s God, you’re going to get more God, get more money. You can’t serve, right? I mean, it really comes down to a simple binary equation. Who are we going to serve? If we turn this system around and we build it correctly, Money serves us, we don’t serve.
And orient our lives around the IRS tax code and do the behavior modification dance just so we can rationalize everything that’s immoral or ignore evil just so we can have more stuff. We, it’s a binary equation. Who are we going to serve? Is money going to serve us? Are we going to serve money? And that’s. That brings along an energy and a spirit with it, Rob, doesn’t it? And it all kind of ties into my question for Jim. Jim, there was a guy that turned the tables on the money changers. His name was Jesus Christ. What does the Bible tell us about technology? Were there any clues in the Bible to technology one day coming along and turning the tables on the money Changers? Oh, sure, there’s scripture that talks about technology all through, through the Bible.
You just have to decipher the words in the context by which the words are being used. But techno is in the Bible and it talks about technology over time. It was even present in Genesis 6 when the fallen angels came and took daughters of Adam and created the hybrid race called the Nephilim. They brought the technology with them in order to change society at large. But going back to what Rob said a bit, I want to point out that the system, because it is predicated on the fact that it is God’s assets that is going to house the value of the digital currency, that’s key because in essence, the assets that God gave us at creation are the assets that are basically the underpinning of the value of each country’s currency.
And in doing that, then we become not an enslaved group of people anymore, we become free. Because the system then works for us, as Rob was saying, not we working for the system as it exists today. And in that regards, we now not only understand the truth and truth from various ways, biblical ways, our physical world ways, but we understand what it means to have sovereignty, control over our own destiny, associated then with the relationship that we have with Jesus Christ. It completely upends the cycle of this tyranny and slavery that we’ve been in for 250 years.
Ever since we started this country, we’ve been enslaved. You know, it’s interesting as you’re talking about that, Jim. It reminds me going back to 2020, when I was at A radio network in Texas and negotiating a business deal and explaining the Federal Reserve to the executives of the network. And when they understood the Federal Reserve and the fiat system a little better, they said, you know, we got an open hour later today. We want to get you on the air to talk about it. And that’s where Sovereign radio was born. And the name sovereign was very specific because of the slavery born out of the fiat money system.
That is how I thought of the name Sovereign Radio. Because we indeed will get our sovereignty back in large part of this thing called the blockchain. Rob, I’m going to let you say some final words. What do you want to part us with? Impart onto us your wisdom on the blockchain before you go. Well, the blockchain helps us reverse course back to one nation under God. It actually helps us for the 207 nations that want to participate. They can all be nations under God. Okay, but mankind under money are slaves. Mankind under God are stewards. We’re here to reign as the creator created creative co creators to create, steward and serve one another.
Not to barely get by and beg for porridge and hope. There’s a We’re not going to kill the planet with junk science and we’re going to run out of water and run out of oil. No, we have an abundance world. And blockchain will in fact prove to everyone in the world how much value is underneath the feet of 207 sovereign nations. How much, how much, how vast the resources are and put a lie to scarcity, which puts a lie to fear, which puts a lie to the narrative that the narrative makers and the fake news and all of these non governmental organization tyrants of terrorism use to make us stupid, to turn us into slaves and then regulate our behaviors and tell us what we can and can’t do.
Not the way God set the system up. When we get to live in truth, documented truth and see the abundance of this world and live as free stewards instead of money debt slaves, it changes everything. Very well said Rob. Where can our listeners find you online? Well, right there on the screen Scotty. My website is Cool show. I. I do an okay job trying to consolidate all of my interviews and blog, podcast and substacks and expost and articles that I write. I don’t always keep it up to date but all of my social media properties are available from my website and I spend about, I’m going to say 90% of my time on x x.com@cool show.
No.just cool show. And that’s how you can find me amazing work. I saw a pinwheel, a ripple pinwheel that you created that is the most in depth explanation of everything around ripple, surrounding ripple and you put it in a pinwheel. I think I found it on X. So Rob, thanks for all the great work and for sharing here on the future of money and finance. Thank you for having me. Scotty. Great to see you, Jim. You too. All right, thanks to Rob, as always. Rob will see you next week. Of course. This is Scotty Saks here.
If you’re watching the video series the Future of Money and Finance sponsored by our good friends and at Ironhawk Financial, you’re probably well schooled in the money system that we’ve been living in for decades. So let me ask you a question. Why should the wealthy and elite bankers have all the best financial strategies? Why is it reserved for them? Well, Joe Lombardi, America’s financial qb. Joe knows he’s made it his business to learn these strategies. Joe studied these strategies used by the ultra wealthy and elite financial institutions, including how sophisticated investors use the tax code strategically to protect and build wealth.
Here’s another question. Did you know the IRS tax code contains financial advantages that the ultra wealthy have been using for years? They’re not tax secret loopholes, they’re built into the tax code. The problem? Most average investors and even many financial advisors aren’t looking for them. Joe Lombardi is as America’s financial qb, he knows the playbook. And now those strategies can be part of your financial playbook. Joe and his sister Marianne run a Patriot family owned business where you get personal one on one attention. You’re not a number on a spreadsheet or or at some big financial firm.
And you don’t have to be a millionaire to get started because Ironhawk works with investors at virtually every level. Whether you’re building wealth, protecting what you’ve earned, or planning for the future, you need financial strategies that keep you winning.

That’s GoWithHawk.com GoWithHawk.com Tell them Sovereign Radio, Scotty Saxon, Jim Pugh sent you. Thank you very much for listening. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are very blessed to bring on our next guest. He is now a part of the show. He is helping us to educate our audience on the future of money and finance. He is our partner in education now. And I want to share something he said before, before I bring him in. I have never in 40 years heard a financial advisor, a financial strategist, a financial wealth guy ever say there are demonic forces leeching off of we the people.
Never heard those kind of words. I’ve heard them from Jim Pugh. But to come from a guy who’s entrusted managing billions of dollars to say that was really, it hit me like a ton of bricks. And we’re just so blessed to have Joe. I’m gonna bring Joe in, but before I do, Joe, I want you to sit back a minute because your sister and I, we cooked up a little surprise for you today, and we’re going to introduce you as America’s financial quarterback, Joe Lombardi from Ironhawk Financial. Joe, I really think this is as fitting as it comes.
You are, as I see it, the kind of guy that quarterbacks people’s wealth strategies, helps them protect and grow their wealth. And with that said, Joe Lombardi. Great to see you. Thanks for having me, Scotty. Good to see you too, brother. Nice to see you, Jim. You too, Joe. I want to start because although there are four episodes, we’re going to go back and record your Part 2 and edit you in. This is the first time you’re joining us, so I want my audience to hear a little bit about Joe Lombardi and Ironhawk Financial. You got on my radar screen through Dave Hodges and the work you were doing and Sarah Westall.
And we’re just all kind of astounded that you are bringing strategies Uber. The uber wealthy use the central bankers themselves Use only. You’re bringing them to the average investor. So tell us how you got there. How did this come about? I mean, it came about living a life full of suffering. You know, my mom wanted to murder me before I was even born. Begged my dad to kill me. And my dad was pro life or I wouldn’t be here. So you can wonder what side I’m going to be on for the rest of my life in regards to politics.
Right? And then you fast forward, Grew up in an attic, no running water, bullied every day. Poor fat, smelly kid. No shower. You know, bucket was the bathroom mattress. On the floor was the bedroom, underneath the. The sofa. So, you know, eating noodles and eggs and ketchup and Hamburger Helper without the hamburger meat. So I came from nothing. And I, I realized that, you know, can you pick yourself up by your bootstraps and become very successful in America. Sure. Has it gotten extremely harder for the next generation? As the next generation? As next generation it unfortunately it has.
Wealth is being hoarded, wealth is being not distributed. I mean, if more money was printed during COVID than our entire existence as the United States of America, why hasn’t the entire country been enriched? Why was those dollars only going to the ultra wealthy? So you have to understand that we’re living in a game that’s rigged and, and you have to figure out what are the wealthy doing to win. Because there’s three classes, right? You have your peasants, your squires and your kings. Don’t ever think you can be a king unless you’re born in blooded and you’re going to those weird rituals on islands and you know, Epstein island type weird stuff that you know they’re all going to burn in hell.
But on earth they’re technically kings because they have power, control and can manipulate whatever the weather, the financial system crisis is. They could take planes, throw them into buildings. They can release deadly stuff on us to kill all 15 million grandmas. And so when they do whatever the heck they want. So I don’t think, you know, I don’t teach anyone how to do a. Kings do because they, they break the law, you know, so when you look at it, you know, you’re just trying to figure out what do the squires do? You know, squires are people between, you know, five to $30 million, $50 million, what are they doing, how are they doing it? And they usually have a team, right? They have a financial planner, they have an investment advisor, they have an insurance agent, they have a cpa, they have an accountant, they have an estate planning attorney.
They have trust, they have C Corps, and they have irrevocable life insurance trust. And they, they have LLCs and they have all these things. Well, the average American complaining about that, but we know our quadratic formula. Thanks United States of America education system. So all this stuff is taught unintentionally. Not to us. So working in Wall street, working with very wealthy people, millionaires and billionaires, what I found is that they don’t do the traditional investments, they don’t do IRAs, 401k step symbols, pension brokerage accounts. They don’t keep their money in banks. You know, why would they? If I have $20 million, I’m not going to keep it in a bank where 250,000 is FDIC insured.
Makes no sense. So what do they do? Right? So I, I was in Those rooms with very wealthy people in Wall street and in Manhattan. Very, very wealthy place. If you’ve never been to Manhattan, it’s very nice, you know, so when you look at it, I just said, you know what? I’m just gonna copy what the millionaires and billionaires do, and I’m gonna bring it to the blue collar market, to the roofers, the masons, the landscapers, excavators, the painters and all that was my niche market because of my father. My father was J.B. lombardi Builders. He.
He grew his business really successfully after, you know, my grandmother gave him a loan in the mid-90s. If you had a van and a. And a hammer, you know, you’re making six figures a year on the housing market. So that’s. That’s where my. My, you know, I was like, wow, I have money. I can go buy a pair of Jordans. You know, my feet weren’t, you know, clawed up because there were three sizes too small. I wasn’t wearing the same Tasmanian shirt with a hole in it, you know, 73 times in a row before I dropped off my grandmother’s house to wash it.
So my life changed when I was extreme four to wow. I was actually, like, not ultra rich, but we had money. It was nice. And then, you know, we’re growing. I’m living that lifestyle for maybe a few years. Then my dad falls three stories, bone in his foot, totally disintegrates, permanently disabled, loses his business, and now we’re back to being poor again. So I was able to see both sides. Most people don’t, right? They’re either born in poverty and stay in poverty. They’re born in wealth. They stay in wealth unless there’s some sort of crazy event.
So me, a young age, being able to see both sides, and my dad doing jobs for the ultra wealthy in Greenwich, like the CEO of Coca Cola, the CEO of the NFL. I was in that gentleman’s basement, you know, the last one, because this was late 90s. We had every single signed hall of Famer helmet in the. In the, you know, around the room. It was the coolest thing. And like, you know, being around this extreme wealth and then being around extreme poverty, I said, there. There’s something I’m missing. Why is, you know, Bob number one broke and Bob number two wealthy? And I realized it comes down to knowledge.
Knowledge is power, and. And they withhold that knowledge. Just like King James withheld the book of Enoch. Right, Jim? So when you withheld something from somebody, you take away something that they don’t have that you have, which gives them an advantage over us. So what I’m trying to do is I’m trying to scream from the top of a rooftop and say, listen, Wall street is not your friend. I work there. They high five when they screw people and steal money. It’s like, cool thing. Look at Bernie Madoff. It’s one of those things where negativity and demonic energy is celebrated, ignorance is taken for profit.
And your retirement accounts are getting gutted not just from Wall street and federal taxation, but now from inflation. So these are the things that the average American has no idea. I mean, it’s like, think about it. If you had to, if the wealthy are speaking Chinese and you’ve never had one minute of learning Chinese, you’re never going to be able to communicate in their language. So it’s having the ability to come out, try to teach very complex, advanced strategies to people to wake them up, to teach them that when you deal with the government, the government doesn’t care about you.
Your Social Security number is your slave number. If you don’t pay them, they’ve come with people with guns to your house and throw you in in metal bar jail. But if you don’t pay your neighbor or a contractor or your car payment, you don’t go to jail. Nobody with guns shows up at your house and said, you didn’t pay your AT&T bill today. So you have to understand it’s rules for thee, not for me. The US the gold has the golden rules. We are their cattle. So you have to be able to wake up, find legal ways.
Like when Donald Trump and Hillary were on stage. And Hillary goes, you’re a bad orange man. You don’t pay any taxes. And Trump says, I’m not bad. I’m smart. I use the same IRS codes your donors use you 30 years. Close the loophole. He didn’t. That was said 10 years ago. That went over hundreds of millions of Americans heads. I mean, if I was watching that, wouldn’t I say, wow, what is Donald doing? Wouldn’t that be the number one Google thing if people were awake? But so many people are asleep and I’m trying to wake them up.
Jim, you’ve been around Wall street and international finance. You don’t see too many guys talk like this, do you? No, you don’t. Because like Joe’s saying is absolutely true. Wall street doesn’t care about anything but themselves and the bankers that support them. And you don’t find truth in this anymore. And I think that’s what Joe brings to the table in a lot of ways. He’s able to identify with what I would call the common man and he’s able to talk truth to them in a way that could be understood. He doesn’t try to, it’s my research is shown.
He doesn’t try to convince them of something that they can’t understand that he gives, works with him to give him the opportunity to do that. So no, you don’t hear these words on Wall street at all. Yeah, it was really nice to be able to bring a truth teller in and help our audience protect their wealth, grow their wealth. Joe, how do you see the blockchain impacting your industry and how you manage your clients wealth? How does it directly impact you guys at Ironhawk Financial? Well, I don’t see the blockchain having some crazy huge change. What I do see is quicker, faster, more transparent.
Instead of me having to wait six business days to roll over an IRA from Fidelity over to let’s say Allianz Life, instead of taking six days, it might take six minutes. Now that’s awesome for the client because a lot of people, when they transfer money it just sits there and earns nothing. And when I roll millions and millions of dollars from a 67 year olds 401k that contributed, you know, for 40 years and to have a week, two weeks, a month where money’s in limbo, it, it does create anxiety for the client. So I think having transparency of, of how quick things can go, having the client be able to see on the ledger because I get calls all the time.
Joe, my 2.8 million is out of my account. Do you have it yet? And I’m like let me call, I don’t know, like. And sometimes it’s like it’s not there yet. And they’re like where’s my money? So it’s, you know, it’s nerve wracking, you know, and, and most people don’t trust liars so they rather do the check route because they could physically tangibly see it. So when you, when you look at it, I think it’s going to be a bonus to somebody like myself who runs a financial planning company, you know, national one with agents across the country.
I think it’s going to be easier for me to pay clients or agents, you know. So I think overall the ease of business is, is going to be very nice. But you have to understand when you, when you get safety, you usually give up freedom. So you know, my biggest fear with all of this is turning into the CCP where we. Because next, once they bring in blockchain, guess what the next thing’s coming. Social credit scores. You bought too much steak on Thursday. I see here you spent USD to buy 8 pounds of steak this week.
You can’t buy steak anymore, Carl. But I’m a bodybuilder. Doesn’t matter. You can’t, you can’t buy. And, and I think there is consequences to ease of life. Always comes with something in the background of losing freedom and control. Control. Yeah. There’s a video out of China of a girl driving around. Exactly what you just said. She goes to the grocery store, she opens, goes to open the steak, the meat refrigerator and it tells her she’s already used her allowance for the month. And they suggest for protein, grasshoppers. And you see her leaving the store with grasshoppers instead of the steak she wanted to buy.
So Jim, jump in here. What? How do you alleviate that concern and a lot of people share that concern with Joe, that this whole system with the blockchain and crypto and ease of, ease of transfer of money peer to peer, that it could be turned easily into more centralized social crypto credit score system. I don’t think you see that happening, do you? I don’t see it happening in the near term at all. Because if it were, then some of the acts that have been approved to support the system and those that are being done by executive order through agency would not have been put in place.
What the system is initially going to be in a blockchain world. And this is, I would hope that Rob might have touched on this, but he didn’t, but he might do it next time. Is that the fact that it’s just a technology, that’s all. And it’s just the transaction processing system that gives us space, speed, as Joe pointed out, but it not only gives us speed, it gives us auditability. It gives us standard weights and measures according to biblical scripture. Therefore it provides you truth. As Rob was pointing out today. It’s something that’s very, very unique.
But I don’t see the social scoring to take place at this time in our history. But we got to remember something. We have a book of Revelation in the Bible that talks about a one world government and a control system that manages what you can do. And if you don’t have the mark of the beast, you can’t buy anything economically. You’re cut out. Now you have to understand that everything that goes on in this world goes towards that plant. Regardless. The reason why we have stopped the tyranny that exists today is, to be honest with you, God stepped in and says, it’s not the right timing.
You want to accelerate this new world. I’m sorry, it’s not my timing for you to do that. But there will be a time in the future where that will take place, because that’s described biblically as well. The system that’s supporting the beast system is being developed now. This system will go into that system. And we just need to understand at some point in time in history, in the future, as Joe pointed out, all of the feature sets that existed today that we’re getting rid of, plus all of the feature sets that the Bible talks about that will exist will become part of the system.
We’re at the end times of the age, as scripture tells us. And what is being developed is the process by which the end of the age can actually take place. Is it going to happen now? No. If it was, why would God step in and change the system and the process, the geopolitical stance of the world? Why wouldn’t he just let it go on? So in my opinion, it’s not going to happen soon. But it is part of the system that will take place in the future in order to bring about the end of 8. Joe, the blockchain and technology notwithstanding, you’re very old school in the sense that you teach your clients not to dance with the devil.
Who’s the devil? The IRS and the tax man. So I don’t think it’s too soon for you to explain our audience how you get around the tax obligations that come from capital gains and all those things. How do you protect your customers wealth from a tax strategy standpoint? Yeah. I mean, it boils down to IRS codes. When people invest in a 401k, they don’t know what it is. They have no clue. They tell me what it does, but they don’t tell me what it is. And people do that for 40 years. A piece of their time every week is going into this thing they know nothing about in regards to what it is.
Like what is a 403B? What is a 457? What is a college savings 529. These things are are in the IRS code book as codes with rules, regulations, and what I call containers, wrappers on your money. So people are putting their money in wrappers that hurt their money. Wall street has infiltrated it because 401ks used to be tax free. 401ks weren’t tied to any risk. You were sort of like a pension. And then Wall street was Sitting there licking its chops, like, oh, all we got to do is buy off some politicians and we can make billions of dollars off of these dumb American retirement accounts.
Look at it just sitting there like, like fat cows and fat cattle. We can go in there and slaughter it and eat and eat any. And so government opened up the walls and said, oh, come on in Wall street, charge your 12b1 fee, your class A share fund fee, your money management fee, your annual account fee, your mutual fund expense fee, or you know what, go to investment, do a flat asset center management fee. And I was part of that world where you bring in money. Oh, I’m gonna help you make money. Well, yeah, of course.
I mean, you could just throw it in an index. You would have made money. S P, nasdaq, it does. Like, okay, and then I’m gonna charge you one and a half percent. Now, if the market goes up, look how great Joel Lombardi is. Yeah, good boy. Let me earn my one and a half percent. Now. What if the market goes down? Hey, client, great time to buy. Great job, Joel Lombardi. I’m already my one and a half percent. So either way, I’m screwing you and I’m making money. And I’m telling you that no matter what happens in the market, it’s a good thing.
It’s demonic. I don’t know how to explain it. Like, like to me, I, I, I, I. It didn’t like it. I felt icky. I felt like, this isn’t what God built me for, is to rob old people. So I got out of Wall street and I started my own firm. And I said, you know, there is good guys, right? We know there’s black hats. We know there’s white hats, right? We. You can’t have evil without good. You can’t go without evil. So there is good people in Wall street, believe it or not. And those are the ones that are doing very complex alternative planning.
And this is for estate planning. This is to kick out the federal and state governments. When you transfer assets to a child or grandchild, you can legally do that. These are strategies to keep you out of a 10 by 10 jail cell known as a nursing home, where you can’t hire or fire your career cook, and you’re with a stranger that if they want to blast the mets games till 3am sorry, you’re up till 3am hearing, you know, batter number seven at 2:18 in the morning, nothing you do about it. To me, that’s jail, right? Look at a jail cell.
Look at a nursing home. Same Exact thing. Look at a school and look at a jail. I mean, anything, government, it all has cinder blocks. A jail, a nursing home, and a school are all built the exact same way. So when you, when you understand exactly how things are done and you understand, do I want to be part of that? When I legally, I don’t have to. If I want to take my dollars, go to the private sector and have companies fight for my dollars and give me better benefits and, and innovation. Whenever there’s competition, there’s innovation.
When you have the government, which is a monopoly. But yet I have seen several congressional hearings where they go, Mark Zuckerberg, facebook’s a monopoly. It’s bad. Amazon is a monopoly. It’s bad. It’s like you’re the most demonic, biggest monopoly on the planet, and you’re trying to convince the American people that you honestly believe monopolies are bad when you don’t have the same rules that we do. So everything is a, is a movie, everything is a stage. And so when you understand that, and you understand that, what do rich people do? Do you have to invent the wheel? Just copy them.
That’s it. If you want. How did I become a multi, multi millionaire? I copied this guy, Michael lynch, at a radio show on WICC in New York City, Smart Money Radio. And I partnered with him. I brought him deals for years, and I just sat there and learned and learned and I gave up 50 of the deal because in, in the investment world, if I bring you a deal, I get 50, you get 50 to close it. But I learned how he did it, and then I took everything that I learned and I started Iron Hawk Financial.
And then I taught other agents across the country what is, in my opinion, the right way to invest money so you can’t lose, diversify, you know, money. So if the market goes down, you have no loss. If taxes go up, you lose nothing. When inflation, interest rates go up, you make more money. This is all factual evidence. Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t lie. So when you look at the numbers and you compare what the traditional investment does and what the private sector does, you’re talking about companies have been around hundreds of years, A plus rated, survived the Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II.
Never had a bank run like Silicon Valley bank or Signature Bank. And you see what the rich do and why they keep getting richer when we can barely just stay where we’re at, when we’re in the middle class. The reason for it is their dollars are multiplying while yours aren’t very, very interesting. 99 out of 100 of our listeners are going, I’ve had a stockbroker, I’ve had a wealth manager, I’ve had a financial advisor. He never said any of these things to me. You know, I’ve got friends who work for Wells Fargo. I’ve got a friend at Chase Investments Strategies.
They get fired, Joe, if they spoke like this to their clients, they’d lose their job in a New York second. They’d be shown the door for speaking the truth the way you are. Jim, I know you have a hard stop. You want a final word and tell our audience where they can find Goddess government and your great work online. Sure. Well, thanks, Scott. Thank you, Scotty. I do have an appointment here soon. What I’d like to do is just for the audience that will be listening as it relates to the network that I’m associated with where this will be published.
I support what Joe is doing. I have. Those of you who know me basically would know that in my investment banking days, we did a similar thing, what Joe’s doing. So I’m familiar with the product and I know that the product works because I used it in the oil and gas situation of funding oil and gas wells in a different type of setting, but for the same result. And so the product works. The opportunity of getting involved in this, it doesn’t matter the amount of money that you have. It’s something that you need to look at and determine for yourself whether or not it works for you.
As far as my work, Scotty, you can get it as God is government or any other platform out there where podcasts are done. We have Bible studies that we put out three times a week. We have focused studies. We’re starting one on August 10th about the new Age movement and the truth about the New Age movement. So that’s where you can get me. And get me also on the connected with you on your siren radio as well. So appreciate the opportunity of being here. Joe, thank you for seeing you again. I’ll see you next week. All right, Jim, we’ll see you next week.
Joe, stick around you and I’ll wrap things up. Thanks, Jim. Appreciate you as always. Well, Joe, we’re going to knock down our first episode here. I. I gotta ask you, how do you like the branding that we created for you? It’s beautiful. It’s. It’s our colors and it’s good picture. You know, I switched to the hat, but yes, I do have a nice set of hair like that. So, yeah, you know, you you generally wear a hat. Usually that means the guy’s hiding his hairline. Like, I don’t wear hats. I should, but you got a good head of hair there.
But, you know, I’ve been thinking about this idea for some time. I just didn’t have the right guy to give it to. And I’ve done business with a lot of financial firms over the years, and it was a marketing thought that I’ve had. I said, I’m always one day gonna release this in August during training camp. I’m gonna give some guy the campaign, and it’s all yours, my friend. Use it forevermore. If it works, if the shoe fits, wear it. If not, no offense taken at all, but I think this is something that we can build a lot of good taglines around the playbook for protecting and growing your wealth.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are building a page for you to reach out to Ironhawk. The URL will be on the screen here. It’ll also be in the description below. Joe, go ahead and close us out. Give us our final thoughts for today. Technology is scary. New things are scary. With every new thing that’s shiny, you know, there’s always something negative, right? Like a yig and yang. Even a beautiful big piece of half the yang is white, but it has a little bit of black in it, right? So you just have to be wary when new things come.
And, you know, I. I read a quote that says, you know, think of our grandkids. Twenty years ago, we used to carry checkbooks. Now we carry credit cards. 20 years from now, we’re not going to be carrying either. So it’s going to come. It’s going to change. I’m excited for the blockchain. I know that there’s risks and everything, because that’s what I’ve done for a quarter century of my life. But at the end of the day, if we can, as a people, stick together, you know, we. We failed Covid horribly. Let’s not let that happen. With the next issue that comes.
Let’s work together. Let’s communicate. I love Scotty Saks and, you know, Westall and Hodges because it’s a real truthful from the heart. No teleprompters, no message that goes out to everybody that says, push this fear fake narrative to trick people to so we can get what we want. It is. It is a very transparent thing that we are doing right now. And if there’s any value I can bring, you know, that’s all I’m trying to do is. Is God gave me talent try to give that talent and, and value that I’ve learned in those trenches for decades, let them know what the pitfalls are and say, you know, at the end of the day, my goal is when I’m dead, that I’m, the labor I did in my life is still providing value to a world I don’t exist in anymore.
Well, when it comes to risk, you’re in the business of risk mitigation. That’s what you do. You’re in the business of helping people protect their wealth and grow their wealth. And I think it was meant to be that we cross paths and bring you on to this series that we started a month ago because we needed an honest truth teller to help our audience execute the strategies and to understand better. I know you and your sister Marianne take an awful lot of time with your customers. You guys will talk 24, seven, pretty much to your customers.
You’re on the phone all day and you hold people, people by the hand and you don’t care how much they have to invest with you. You’re, you’re going to work with them. You’re going to help them grow their money and protect their money. So we appreciate you, Joe, and we’ll see you next week. Again, ladies and gentlemen, the URL on the screen and in the description below is how you can reach out to talk to Joe and Marianne at Ironhawk Financial. For Joe Lombardi, Rob Cunningham and Jim Pugh, I’m Scotty Saks. And we’ll see you next week on the future of money and Finance.
Thanks, Joe. See you next week. Thank you.
