Tariffs, BRICS & BlackRock’s War on You

Time Text
Joining me now is Tony Artiburn of WiseWolf Gold.
You go to davidknight.gold if you'd like to start accumulating some gold and silver or gold or silver.
You can do both or one or the other.
Tony has many different options available.
Thank you for joining us today, Tony.
That's great to be back.
Good to see you, Trevor.
It's always a pleasure.
And I want to let the audience know that Tony will be hosting the show tomorrow.
We are going to start our reconstruction, first our destruction, then reconstruction of the studio.
So Tony has graciously volunteered to take over the show so that we can have an extra day to work on that.
Really do appreciate that.
Otherwise, this would be, it's already going to be a monumental task, but hopefully the extra day will buy us the time we need.
But yes, you can look forward to Tony Artiburn hosting the David Knight Show tomorrow.
So tune in for that.
I want to, what's foremost on your mind to start, Tony?
What would you like to start with?
Get your assessment.
Just the research lately on the, we talked off air about the increase in the money supply.
And you see that President Trump really pushing right now, even with threatening a lawsuit against Jerome Powell, unprecedented waters.
I think that's also a big tell on how the system works, that the president of the United States is like threatening a lawsuit against the Federal Reserve Chair and not just replacing him because he doesn't have the power to do that.
I mean, technically.
But I think the push to increase the money supply to create a weaker dollar for the illusion really of economic strength, and that's what they want, that sugar high of liquidity and currency being pumped into the system, which does create a temporary boon, but then we have the same problems that we always have.
We have inflation, runaway inflation, you have economic downturns, you have bubbles, you have decline and prosperity and all the stuff that comes with a bust after a boom.
So I'm looking at the big picture still.
I mean, that's my wheelhouse and where I go to.
And you look at the response from India, Travis.
You look at what they're doing right now because of the tariffs that were placed on them and even the threat of other economic sanctions with their ties to China.
They're moving closer to China.
So BRICS is, it's like almost a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We've done nothing to invite the world to do business with us.
Done nothing.
We're actually pushing people away.
This is the most isolationist policy I've ever seen.
And by the way, I mean, I've talked about this many times with your dad and you.
I'm an economic nationalist.
I want tariffs.
I love that.
But we're not playing that game.
We're playing something totally different.
And I'd just like to be clear for the record, I might even have to abandon what I used to believe about economic nationalism and policy because it's clearly this is some funhouse mirror version of that.
So you have these threats of tariffs and BRICS slowly, actually not slowly, that's probably an incorrect description.
RICS is rowing and they're solidifying their economic ties.
You're talking about what's the population of India and China together.
What is that, almost half of humanity getting together?
You add the other BRICS nations into that and the de-dollarization and the payment systems that they're creating.
And it just spells disaster for U.S. economic policy.
We're doing nothing to stop that and everything to increase, I think, the search for things like commodities, rare earth minerals, gold, and finite items, commodities.
Yeah.
I've said it before, but the time of America being able to just swagger into the room and say, this is how it's going to be.
This is how we're doing things.
You're going to do what we say or else are done.
There's other world powers out there that have economies of scale that can be interacted with.
They don't no longer have to bow and scrape before America.
They can interact with each other and not have to worry about Dealing with our belligerent foreign policy.
It's like, all right, well, if you're going to play that game, we'll simply choose not to play.
And Donald Trump doesn't seem to realize that.
If he was the president, say 50, 60 years ago, or maybe a little bit longer, when America was at the height of its economic power, he could probably get away with this kind of thing.
People go, all right, yeah, it sucks, but what are you going to do?
It's America.
But those days are gone.
And as you said, BRICS is, you know, they're growing stronger.
They're solidifying their relationships.
And as you pointed out, we're simply driving them further and further away.
Got a comment here from KWD68 says silver and gold both are up about two and a half times in the last 10 years.
People talk about silver underperforming, but it has gained.
It's a hedge and something to hold.
And of course, I know you're big on silver.
And I like silver as well when I have extra cash, if I ever do.
I need to start accumulating more of it.
But it's just, it's a good store and it hasn't run away like gold has.
Gold is definitely one of those things where it's hard to accumulate for the average person.
You, of course, offer the very small grams and things of it.
But even that, I assume, is getting more expensive and probably harder to source.
Oh, absolutely.
The Comeby bars, the 100 grand bars that come in a package and we're able to break that off and save people a little bit of premium.
Those are harder and harder to source.
And it is interesting.
The fractional gold is being swallowed up right now.
And silver, as you mentioned earlier, for the average person, just getting a little bit of silver is pretty easy.
You can still do that.
The price, and I think this is a blessing in disguise.
A lot of people get frustrated with the price of silver because it never did this parabolic take up and to the right, price go up forever, number go up.
It hasn't done that.
And I think that's for accumulation reasons.
That's a lot of the big banks, JP Morgan, obviously the largest holder, physical holder of silver in the world, private, they've been convicted of suppressing the price.
They like to accumulate.
They suppress the price.
They hold it.
But I think that game has changed, Travis, with silver.
And you can see that with Russia adding it as a strategic reserve asset.
I think that is probably one of the most important stories on silver in the last 50 years.
I think this will be a bigger story than the Hunt family in the 1970s.
I think just that, Russia leading the way.
And again, Russia's relation to BRICS.
The entire chessboard economically, if I look at it, it's a race for rare earth minerals.
It's a race for commodities.
The era of fiat.
And we're about tomorrow, is, hey, it's fortuitous because I get to host on the anniversary of Nixon taking us off the gold standard in 1971, August 15th.
Since that time, August 15th, 1971, we've been in a real-time experiment, and that experiment's coming to a close.
It doesn't mean that they won't use fiat necessarily, but it's going to go to a digitized, tokenized system as we're seeing through the Genius Act and stablecoins and the things like that.
But as far as just the standard, you know, Keynesian model of increase the money supply and inflate the bubble, we just hit $37 trillion in debt yesterday, as a matter of fact.
I mean, that's a milestone.
That doesn't even count the unfunded liability.
So the United States is bankrupt on paper.
It's bankrupt.
It's bankrupt foreign policy as a bankrupt economic policy.
And we know that.
I mean, anybody, they don't talk about it anymore because you can't do anything about it.
I mean, there was a time, perhaps a quaint time in the mid-90s when you could see that, oh, we have a resolution and there's a contract for America and all this stuff.
And then you got the debt clock stops and there's a surplus.
Remember that?
They actually had this thing.
They had a surplus.
It sounds silly now.
But the debt was around $4 trillion, $3.50, $4 trillion at that time.
And then now it's $37 trillion.
So, you know, the wheels are off on that one.
There's a lot of change on the horizon.
And if you see, you know, like the central banks, they're not going and buying up stocks and accumulating other currencies.
As we've seen with the supplanting of the Euro, the Euro used to be the dollar and then the Euro as far as what was held by central banks and reserve assets.
Now it's the dollar and then gold.
Okay, so it's because the dollar is easy to trade.
It's still that, you know, it's a somewhat stable currency system, but that's being replaced.
And we're accelerating the policies of this country are accelerating that.
So I think the big story here is the race towards commodities, the abandoning of the fiat system post-1971 and the great reset, which is they tell you they're going to do it, and we're right in the middle of it.
Yeah, earlier in the show, we were talking about some articles saying, yo, older Americans are deciding that buying a home just simply doesn't fit their budget anymore.
They're deciding they think they'd rather rent.
It's like, yeah, I wonder why that is.
Could it be because they've been priced out of it?
Could it be because inflation has gone through the roof and the cost of everything has doubled or tripled over the years?
No, they're painting it as, oh, they just decided you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
But people aren't happy yet.
I haven't worked that part out yet.
They're working towards the own nothing.
They seem to be really good at that.
It's the happiness thing they're struggling with.
Well, you saw that BlackRock, especially after COVID-1984 and the big liquidity push that came in after that.
And everybody was locked down.
You're not essential.
And they came in and just started buying giant swaths of houses.
They're using all those funds that were pumped into the system to buy up the real estate.
And of course, it continued to artificially keep the prices high.
So we didn't have a housing correction or natural housing cycles.
And the reason that housing prices are the way they are is because of the loss of purchasing power in the dollar.
And I think at the end of the day, it is a bubble.
You know, there's only so many houses.
There's only so much real estate.
And you place that value.
And then every time you create a home loan, Travis, it creates currency.
It's not like they're taking it from a reserve.
It's like, okay, well, we got so much in the deposit, so we're going to lend you this, and then you can buy this house.
That's not how that works.
Create new currency.
So every time that just inflates the bubble, we're on that system right now.
And that is, I think people are smart right now to be skeptical about getting into the housing market.
I have the ability to do Viela.
And I just kind of sit back and could do it, but I just don't.
And I'm wondering, I don't know if I see the advantage of getting in.
It's like the prices are too high.
I don't look at it as an advantage.
And you can argue about whether a home's an asset or not, but that's where a lot of people have been able to park their energy and their savings into the equity of their home in the past.
And we're seeing that system come apart.
It becomes easier.
I read an article a few weeks ago on my show from Bitcoin Magazine.
And they were saying younger people are just looking at digital assets and digital territory and real estate.
And you could say the same thing for, you know, if you can't, if you're not able to get into a house, you got to have somewhere to house your savings and other things.
So that would be, you know, physical gold and silver would be another way to do that, you know, physical assets.
I think that's going to be a big wave of the future when people continue to be priced out of these out of houses.
And I do think we'll have a correction.
But even still, it's going to be, I think, out of reach for a lot of people on the economic strategist because of the jobs that aren't there.
Yeah.
The economy is not the same as it was.
You know, there used to be a time where you could get a factory job and support an entire family on one income working at a factory.
And those days are generally long gone.
You basically need a two-person household, two people working to support a singular child.
If you have more than one child, it becomes a bit of a stretch.
We've got Epstein Island in chat says silver is $38.03 today.
And Steve Ebbs would like to know what should silver be at?
If they weren't suppressing things, if they weren't holding it down, what do you think silver would be at?
I think that we see a minimum of $100 now.
I think the true valuation of silver, and it is kind of a silly thing to look at, too, when you look at the charts of wealth and the so-called wealth in the world, and you have these big blocks of hundreds of trillions, and it's like a $500 trillion economy or something like that with sovereign wealth funds and currencies and stock markets.
And then silver has a $1.7 trillion market cap out of hundreds of trillions.
And silver was always considered a monetary metal throughout human history, but it's only, again, $1.7 trillion or whatever it is against the hundreds of trillions that are supposedly assets in the world.
I don't buy that.
It's a 200 million ounce plus deficit a year on silver.
So everything that's demanded from the mining and production, they have to take from the above-ground supply.
It's 200 million plus ounces a year.
And that's just only increasing.
And I think that so that the true price was a minimum 100.
And then if you look at, you know, you just take the gold price and divide it by 16, you know, so whatever that is, whatever that is today, it's like, you know, a 30, let's see what the spot price is right now.
The spot price, according to goldprice.org, is 33.45 on gold.
So should we do the math, Travis?
We do a 16 to 1 ratio and see if we can make that in real time.
See if I can pull it off.
Let's see.
It's 3,340, and we divide that by 16.
If we're going by the metrics by the founding fathers of the United States of America and some of the smartest men who ever lived to put that economic system together, silver was 16 to 1.
So that makes it $208.
Yeah.
We actually had KWD68 in chat said before you even did that.
Some argue that since silver is mined at a ratio of about 16 to 1 over gold, that the price should reflect that.
Since there's a lot going on with paper contracts and manipulation, in my opinion.
So that makes sense to me.
Not only that, it's geologically, Travis, is geologically 17 to 1, supposedly.
This ratio makes no sense unless you're talking about a systemic manipulation or accumulation.
I think this is one of the reasons if you want to speculate on what happened to the Hot Family in the 1970s.
They were able to drive silver to $52.50 an ounce in 1980, which again, that'd be about $208 today, something like that, maybe more.
They were punished.
They were deep stated.
Their fortune was smashed by the oligarchs and the ruling class because they exposed something, in my opinion.
They exposed something that was terribly wrong with the dollar.
Most people didn't understand because we weren't even allowed to own gold past 1933.
That wasn't, you know, the gold coins had come out of circulation.
We still had the silver dollars until running through the system until about 1965.
And people started taking notice of that and said, oh, I'm going to save these.
And they went, you know, it's Gresham's Law when bad money enters the system and good money goes into hiding.
And I think at that time, when we see the departure from having any sort of basis of your currency and then Nixon taking us off the gold standard, people were kind of sleepwalking into that.
And then inflation kicked in, and you had the oil embargoes and then all the rest of that.
And by the time, you know, the end of the 1970s, and I'm sure your dad remembers this well.
You had Jimmy Carter and the terms malaise and all this stuff.
People were looking around and go, what is wrong?
And then silver's hitting to $52.
It used to be a dollar.
It used to be, or even actually, an ounce wasn't necessarily a dollar Because every bit of pre-1965 U.S. currency, Travis, whether it's 10 dimes, whether it's four quarters or a half dollar or two half dollars and a dollar, it all has the same amount of silver.
So two half dollars and one dollar, same thing, ten dimes, same amount of silver.
It's 0.735 ounces.
So that wasn't even an ounce of silver, right?
For a dollar.
So I think at the end of the day, this is the historical trend that we're in right now.
There's a, I think, a need for people to understand the economic and monetary system.
And I think they're waking up to that.
There's a lot of, I mean, because of what happened with the runaway inflation post-2020 and the lockdowns and the liquidity injections, I think with the emergence of BRICS and everything else that goes along with that, there is a rise in consciousness on what money is.
I mean, you can find numerous new podcasts and things that are going on that weren't around five years ago, Travis, that talk about things like Bitcoin, gold, and other monetary issues that weren't there.
Just the question of money itself is a much bigger, I think, mainstay in people's minds now.
Yeah, there's a general sense of unease about the economy.
People have this sense that things just aren't right.
The dollar's not safe like it used to be.
We have Shelly A. says the BRICS website 2025 reads like the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The BRICS aren't necessarily a group of good guys.
Just because they're not playing along with America's belligerency doesn't mean they're good guys themselves.
I don't think there's really any good players on the world stage at that level.
I think as a general rule.
For the record, I'm not rooting for BRICS.
I'm not rooting for any of these other nations.
I love my country, but I have to call out what I think is absolute stupidity.
If we wanted to get this nation really booming and having economic prosperity, we would have other policies.
We would be incentivizing.
We haven't done that in a long time.
You can tell the game is rigged because if you really wanted to make the United States lead the world in everything, you just do away with the income tax.
Just do away with it.
You could just abolish that and then no corporate income tax, no individual income tax.
You could argue that then there's no need for tariffs because people just move here and build here.
In this climate, geopolitically, massive investment would pour in.
Infrastructure would pour in.
But we don't do that.
And that's for a reason.
And your dad's talked about this.
Because you have to have a graduated income tax because Karl Marx said so.
And that's what the World Economic Forum or Davos makes sure that you sign on to that.
And I think there's certain treaties and understandings that we got to have this no matter what.
We've got to have some sort of graduated income tax to make sure that people can't ever get out of their economic pre-subscribed places.
Yeah.
We have a comment here.
Angry Tiger's Den says tariffs or sanctions on the American people.
Sanctions are an act of war.
And that goes in what you're talking about.
Just, again, these countries are just like, well, if you're going to do this, we're not going to play anymore.
And like you pointed out, when they were talking about sanctions at the beginning, Trump was pushing that idea around, oh, you know, and some of his base were saying, he's going to get rid of the income tax.
He's going to do it.
He's going to do it.
Completely ignoring the fact that he just said, well, we'll make some of these tax cuts permanent.
They're like, well, you don't need a permanent tax cut if the entire thing is going away now, do you?
And you still see people online talking about how Trump is going to dismantle the IRS totally.
And it's just that they're incapable of connecting the dots here.
How gullible are you people?
Come on.
It's not those are the IRS and the income tax system itself was put in Place by the wealthiest people that were alive at the time to make sure that no one could compete with them.
And that's, I will believe that because of my study and looked into this, I've read extensively on it.
I don't take any other explanation because it's the only one that makes sense to me.
Why would you know, again, and still you look around today and you think if, and it's funny because the left thinks that they're like, well, the rich are in control, but we also have this weapon against them.
And I'm like, if they're in control, they wouldn't allow you to have that.
They're in control.
If they didn't like it, they wouldn't allow it.
You understand?
And so it always makes me laugh and like, we're going to tax the rich and whatever.
No, you're just taxing yourself and you're making sure that no one could ever compete.
It's a rigged system with that.
I'll take this administration seriously when they start making tax-free zones for the next hundred years.
You pay no taxes if you live in Detroit.
You want to rebuild Michigan?
You want to turn the economic engine back on?
Make that an edict.
You want to get tough and put an executive order down.
Instead of saying you're going to put 100% tariff on a nation that doesn't use the dollar, again, make it a, for the next century, you pay no tax whatsoever if you move your business to Detroit.
Let's see what would happen.
Yeah.
See, that's a simple solution, a good idea right there, which means that no one in Washington will ever consider it.
Ever do that.
Right.
No one will ever do that.
No one will ever do something.
That's how you know that it's, it's kind of like James Forrestal told Joe McCarthy, you know, if they were stupid, then every once in a while they'd just err in our favor, but they never do.
That's how you know it's a conspiracy.
It always ends up somehow working out good for them and bad for us.
I want to get your opinion on this article.
It says gold prices could double in five to ten years as investors become skeptical of fiat currencies.
And of course, we talked a little bit about this during the break off air.
But as you pointed out, gold is, it just kind of is the inverse of whatever the dollar does.
As the dollar gets weaker, gold gets stronger.
And so I don't see a reason why this couldn't happen.
You know, the dollar is collapsing every minute as we speak.
And as such, yeah, I definitely could believe that it could drop to half its value.
Gold could double again.
Well, for sure.
Well, I mean, gold was $35 an ounce in 71.
And then, you know, by the end of 1980, it was $800 an ounce or somewhere in the 1980s, $800 an ounce.
And then you fast forward to, and it took some sell-off and some other things that happened throughout the 90s.
And there was the stock market era and it was the tech boom and all that stuff.
And so gold took a back seat.
I remember before I went into my third foreign war, before I was deployed to Iraq, I was buying, I bought some gold.
It was about $350 an ounce.
So now it's almost $3,500 an ounce.
I think we have room, even though that was 20-plus years ago, but things move faster now, especially when there's an accelerating rate of change, not only because of the historical cycles, but because of the sheer numbers.
We mentioned the debt earlier, it's $37 trillion.
That's a number that can never be, there'll have to be a clearing of it, like in order to function because the debt ceilings continue to rise.
The debt will just start to eat up everything.
And they'll have to do a great reset.
They already told you they were going to do.
So absolutely.
Fiat has no bottom.
Gold and silver and Bitcoin have no top because of that.
I mean, you're talking about two diametrically opposed ideas.
One is finite and houses energy.
The other one is a scam that is infinite.
And we're going to test reality, basic understanding of how the universe works.
If something is more ubiquitous and, again, just thrown out there and created out of nothing, does the human beings find that to be valuable?
Other than things like oxygen.
But we find that valuable.
But when it comes to everyday life, something that is absolutely ubiquitous and everywhere, even like information today.
Information is ubiquitous and everywhere.
I don't think people value it very much.
Unfortunately.
They clearly don't because they're not smarter.
That is very true.
Everyone has this general sense of, well, you know, if I need to know something, I can just look it up.
And it stops them from ever really going and researching beforehand.
It's just this continual as I need it mentality.
It's always going to be there.
And as such, I have no reason to seek it out beforehand.
I have no reason to want to go out and learn anything and better myself.
Just, you know, well, if I need to learn how to, you know, put a new battery in the car, I'll just go Google it at the time.
I'll learn how to change my time if I feel the need.
There's not this sense of desire to accumulate information or knowledge or figure out things.
It's just this, it's available.
I don't need it.
Who cares?
Someone else already has that information and I can get that at my fingertips if necessary.
And I know that you've talked about things like this.
We've got this headline here.
Gold is a key strategic investment despite U.S. resilience and Bitcoin's rise.
But you've been pointing out that both gold and silver, people are investing in the hard assets.
It's back.
And, you know, like you said, the Russia story, how they're stocking up on silver.
People are not just crypto's big, but countries are moving more towards these metals.
They're putting them back on the books.
And that should definitely be assigned to people as well.
It's, you know, as personally, I think, you know, the countries generally tend to do what's going to favor the government.
And if the government is stacking gold and silver, it says something.
Oh, it does.
I mean, that's the central banks are buying gold.
The governments are putting gold into their strategic reserve assets and other things like silver.
But that's, you know, even commodities, timber.
I just saw an article where, you know, certain African countries are, you know, building a currency model backed by minerals and other things that are, you know, it could be gold, could be silver, could be diamonds, putting those together to create a stable currency.
Because the era of fiat is, you know, Zimbabwe.
It's the trillion-dollar note.
And the United States is continuing to double, triple, quadruple down on sanctions and other things.
It's driving these countries away and into the arms of BRICS and those systems.
And you can see with the Belt and Road Initiative and what China's done, playing a very smart loan game looking for rare earth minerals, commodities in an age of the end of fiat and to something else, which I think that's going to be the order of the day.
And a lot of the bubbles that are in the stock markets and other things around the world, there will be a reckoning eventually.
Yeah, it's just, well, maybe slightly outside my own lifetime, but borderline within my lifetime, we've had both Zimbabwe and Venezuela, and both of them have had just runaway currency collapse.
And it's funny to me that more people didn't look at that and go, well, what makes their economy so different from ours?
Why can't that happen here?
And the truth is, really nothing.
Just the fact that the American government has had more pull on the global stage, that it's more powerful.
The Federal Reserve has some slightly smarter people that are able to manipulate things a little bit better for their own advantages.
But the truth is, there's nothing that stops a Venezuela or Zimbabwe scenario from playing out because that is the natural end state of these currencies.
And the fact that more people haven't looked at it and gone, huh, has always kind of shocked me.
You know, a lot of people just look at money and they go, well, you know, money is weird.
You know, it's just these pieces of paper.
And they have a general sense that the dollar is this kind of phony system, but they don't go all the way with it.
They don't fully think about what that actually implies.
And again, just it's all ever since, I don't know, whenever I figured out when I was younger, there's always been this slight anxiety in the back of my mind.
Just, well, how long until we are Zimbabwe?
When does that happen?
And of course, there's no real way to tell because there's so many different people with their Fingers on the scales, and the system is so immensely complex.
But eventually, with, as you said, the 30-something trillion dollars in debt, and some people even put it as high as $150 trillion, you know, it has to happen eventually.
There's no way out of this.
It's an astronomical number that's impossible to get rid of.
Yeah, and I think it's a low probability that we'd be something like Zimbabwe or Venezuela, and that's mainly because of the entrenchment of the dollar around the world.
So, I'm not a doomsdayer when it says, oh, there's going to be Weimar and Republic-style inflation with wheelbarrows full of cash to buy a loaf of bread or whatever.
I don't see that, but I do see the massive amount of change that has to happen in order for there to be a great reset.
A lot of people are going to get left behind.
There will be massive austerity.
The people are going to get wiped out.
There's going to be a great swath of people that played by the old rules that are going to lose and lose big time.
So, I think there will be a class of people that do really well, and we've always seen them do well.
That's why I think BlackRock embrace Bitcoin and Larry's Bink and those guys.
I still have to hang a question mark over that.
Not exactly sure why, but I think it has something to do with stablecoins, Dravis.
I think it has something to do with what they want to build digitally with the public-private partnership of stable coins and the dollar out of a backdoor CBDC so they can control, contract, and expand the money supply in real time.
I think that's ultimately one of their goals, along with surveillance and other things.
But the economic system will change, not necessarily because there will be an absolute collapse of the dollar to zero, it'll be a collapse of the dollar to digital.
Yeah, that is their goal.
As you've pointed out, my dad's pointed out, and we've talked about the tracking ability that comes with stable coins, the ability to shut off your entire bank account and just completely deprive you of any ability to pay for things, to interact with the economy at all, is what they really want.
It comes with surveillance, it comes with debanking built in.
It's the ultimate tool for them.
I know we're just about out of time.
You've already stayed 10 minutes over.
I've got a few more comments that I'd like to get through if you're up for it.
Got it.
Fantastic.
Dougalug says the gold back is a great idea, easy to collect and easy to use for barter, just like silver.
And of course, you have been putting people onto the gold backs for quite a few years now.
I love gold backs.
It gives you, because the gold has gotten so expensive, I can't put it in.
We used to be able to almost, we fit a gram of gold for a limited time back.
Well, first started Wolfpack into the Warrior Wolves at $125.
I can't do that anymore.
The cost is almost that.
So we can't do that.
So Goldbacks makes it a lot easier for people to get some actual 24-karat gold.
And those are those notes that they use gold.
Gold's very valuable.
I think you can take, I was reading something every day.
I try to look up a gold fact, but I think you can take an ounce of gold.
And because gold's so malleable, you can spin an ounce of gold out of about 50 miles with one single thread, something like that.
It's an amazing metal.
Yeah, it's an amazing metal with how much elasticity it has and malleability it has.
It's very, very interesting metal.
There's really nothing like it.
So that's where they're able to make those kind of notes.
And we put those in the gold notes, the gold backs.
We put them in the Warrior Wolves at $125 and the loans.
And even in the kids, Wolf Cup gets a gold back.
And that's another reason you should go to DavidKnight.gold and start getting some for yourself.
Tunnel Lord 1337 says, if we really wanted to revive the economy, we would be removing all the unconstitutional regulations on every aspect of our lives.
That would immediately reduce the price of things.
Additionally, it should allow private banks to make their own fiat so Americans can stop using the dollar that is devalued each year.
It was when my family and I went to China to adopt my sister.
When we were in Hong Kong, they allowed each bank to issue their own currency.
So you would have just a mishmash, a collection of random different bills with different colorations and feels and people on them.
And it was very interesting to see.
And their economy was booming.
They were doing just fine.
And DG8 says, can you ask Tony about XRP?
It's been pointed out to me it's the only crypto that is a business partner with the World Economic Forum.
I don't own any XRP.
I've looked into it.
I'm sure I could have made money off of it.
Somebody will.
I own a few different cryptos, and that's from like a relic of five years ago.
I mainly just buy Bitcoin.
That's the only crypto that I really believe in at this time.
And it's not that some others aren't good, like there's some privacy coins I like, but just economically and the way that I run my business, I use Bitcoin.
XRP will do something.
I mean, they're funneling it into the system as a clearing currency, like between banks.
And there's some interesting technology there.
I'm not against other cryptos.
I don't like, I'm not a total Bitcoin maximalist where I think that every other coin is garbage.
I just know my wheelhouse.
I stick with that.
So I'm Bitcoin only right now.
But certainly, I mean, I've watched the price of it.
I hold some for a customer of mine.
So I look at the app every day.
So I see the price going.
And it has fluctuated back up.
I think it was over three bucks for XRP the other day, down a little bit today, maybe.
But yeah, it's something to watch.
They're definitely integrating that with the system.
Like you talked about the World Economic Forum.
They're going to use other cryptos.
And Ethereum will be one of those that they use as well.
Yeah, they're digging their hooks into the digital realm.
They're worming their way in.
And that's one of those things.
No matter what system you implement, these people will try to find a way into it.
It doesn't matter how perfectly you build it.
Eventually, someone will find a way to exploit it.
But some are better than others.
And they're worth looking into.
They're worth getting outside of the fiat dollar as much as you can is always a good idea, in my opinion.
Well, Tony, I want to thank you for being on the show.
I want to thank you for hosting the show tomorrow.
In case people are just tuning in, Tony Arterburn will be hosting the David Knight Show tomorrow.
And as he pointed out, it is the anniversary of, you said, Nixon taking us off the gold standard, right?
Or yeah, off the gold standard.
So it's a fortuitous event.
We didn't plan it that way, but that's how it works out.
And you've got a show coming up after this.
So let the people know where they can find you, Tony.
You can find me.
My website is Tony.gold.
If you want to go find my website, all my shows and links to everything that I do.
And yeah, we'll be live over on the America Unplugged channel on Rumble and on my ex at Tony Arderburn.
Go find us there.
We'll be at 12 p.m.
Eastern, 11 a.m. Central Time, going live.
Fantastic.
All of you, go check out Tony and go to davidknight.gold, get yourself some gold or silver.
Again, Tony, thank you for that.
And thank you for being on the show.
It's always a pleasure to talk with you.
Really do appreciate it.
Same to you, man.

The common man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing in the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
