Time Text
Hello and welcome everyone to Brighton Conversations.
Today we've got a great guest for you, Bobby Pyton of PreactiveInvestments.com.
My name is Mike Adams.
I'm the founder of Brighton, and this is where we have free speech conversations that often you can't find anywhere else, certainly not on YouTube.
Now, Bobby Pyton, he's a statistician, very gifted in math, and he is the one who did the incredible analysis of the voter rolls and came out with some conclusions about Zombie voters or phantom voters, I think is what he called them.
I call them zombie voters.
Ghost voters that were being used in real time to rig elections in certain jurisdictions.
And he's done a lot more work since then.
He's got some new projects coming up, some very exciting things to announce.
And at least one thing exclusively to this interview that he's going to share with us today.
So it's with great pleasure that I bring Bobby on the show.
Bobby, it's great to be able to talk with you again.
You're a fan favorite.
It's great to have you back on.
Well, Michael, thank you so much for having me back on because I send your interview off to anybody who asks me about what my insights were from this voter fraud and explaining it to them in terms that make most sense.
And that stems from how well you were able to ask the questions and really pull Pull my analysis out in a way that is more palatable for people to kind of relate to.
So I'm very grateful because a lot of people have told me that your interview has been the best and so I'm really happy to be back on and thank you.
Well, yeah, that was the first time I spoke with you then.
And at first, I was a little bit lost, so I was asking a lot of questions.
But, you know, I've got a strong math and science background myself.
So maybe, you know, we're speaking the same language.
Everything that you're doing makes perfect sense now.
But give us an update of, you know, it's been a while.
It's been, what, a month and a half, two months?
Yeah, since we talked.
So a lot has happened since then.
You know, Joe Biden is in the Oval Office now.
Many people believe that's completely illegitimate because of the election fraud and so on.
Where do you think we are now?
I mean, the Supreme Court just threw out Sidney Powell's cases without even looking at the merits of those cases and so on.
So are we beyond math now where no one wants to see the math, no one wants to see the facts, that it's all just going to be rigged for emotional reasons?
What's going on?
Well, I think that...
I think that what's happened, as aggravating as it is and as painful as it is, I'm really glad that it has happened because for 40 years We were under this delusion or illusion, whatever you want to call it, denial, deception.
All these words come to mind that elections were fair in this country.
And from what it looks like, both parties were in on it.
And I mentioned that back in December, that the data was very conclusive that both sides were cheating.
I didn't, when I looked at the data, I did not try to single out Democrats or You know, trying to prove the Republicans' case.
I looked at it just based on what the data was saying.
And so right now we're at this interesting point in our history Because we know that we didn't get a just outcome and no amount of them trying to spin it as such is going to convince us that it's a just outcome.
So they're going to continue to try to silence people, ostracize people, hit them economically.
So, you know, I've been giving it a lot of thought, and I think about, like, what Martin Luther King did in this country, you know, peaceful protests, and I think about what Gandhi did in India, and I think we're at the point where the citizens of this country that want to remain free, we might have to start peaceful protests in size and in mass to get this turned around.
Well, I think many people certainly agree with you, and yet what they're facing right now is a situation where any time Trump supporters or conservatives gather peacefully.
There are bad actors who dress up as Trump supporters and commit violence.
And then the entire FBI comes down and mass arrests a bunch of innocent people who didn't do anything wrong.
I mean, it's a setup now where people are afraid to peacefully protest, it seems.
Yeah, and I think that one of the things that should be done, and I guess, are you familiar with GoPro?
Yes?
Yeah, so I think we might, in order to peacefully protest, people might have to get like miniature GoPros.
You know, I'm just trying to think of ways that you would protest if you had a group of people and you wanted to kind of cover yourself that somebody's not making up things about you in real time.
And maybe if we had almost like those body cams that the police have or GoPros, you know, something along those lines, and then we just record the criminals in action.
That are attending these protests and, you know, and have them arrested.
But then you have the footage immediately.
And then the next thing is, you know, we need to get, you know, We need to get conservative law firms that aggressively pursue legal action against this tyranny by our government.
We have a right to petition our government under the First Amendment.
And part of that petition is the freedom of assembly.
That's how you petition the government.
And so they're trying to trample the freedom of assembly.
They've trampled on religion.
They've trampled on freedom of speech.
And if we don't start to get arrested, so to speak, just like Martin Luther King supporters did with the civil rights movement, it's going to be far worse.
We're going to be rounded up.
So you have a choice.
Do we get arrested, a lot of us, or do we start getting rounded up?
And that's the tough spot we're in because we don't have the same resolve that we once did because they've beaten down so many Americans over the past few decades.
Well, I hear what you're saying, but let me throw in this skeptical thought about that back during the Martin Luther King civil rights marches.
When the news covered that and showed black Americans being attacked and in some cases beaten, the reason that was effective was because it appealed to the Christian principles of America that said, this cannot stand.
We don't stand for violence.
We don't stand for mistreatment of fellow human beings.
That's why it was effective.
Yet today, Look at the way conservatives, especially those arrested at the Capitol, including a trans-conservative who was arrested and then tortured in a jailing facility, stripped naked and abandoned for days in isolation.
The ACLU said nothing.
There is no civil rights morality on the left.
That's the problem.
There's nothing left to appeal to.
Because they have no morality or ethics, they would love to see conservatives tortured and killed and beaten.
To show that happening would not appeal to any humanity on the left.
That's the difference.
And I guess this is a good segue into what we talked about before I started.
And this is why, you know, I want to start, not me, God wanted me to start this party.
I got pieces of it months ago.
I didn't name it that at first because I thought it was a little too...
I don't like to wear my religion on my sleeve, but now I'm going over the Bible every night on YouTube, and I'm on day 11 today.
And I never thought I would publicly be discussing my thoughts on the Bible, because I'm just like anybody else, just reading the Bible, and I'm just giving my interpretation.
But to your point, when these violent things are occurring, if you think about apartheid in Africa...
And you think about the press was owned by the oppressors in South Africa.
And what did they do?
They still continued to protest and organize.
And we as Christians in this country, this is a Judeo-Christian country, the idea behind United Spirits of America is to put the Ten Commandments front, line, and center back on the public agenda of how we Judge how our fellow human beings are treated.
We're being attacked.
The European, you know, people of European descent, white people, are being attacked from every angle right now.
And I talked about it yesterday on day 10 of the Bible.
I said, you know, 100 million white people died in World War II in Europe.
And there's a billion fewer white people in the world today because of World War II. And when was the last time you saw people from China go save people in Africa?
When was the last time you saw China go to defend other nations being invaded?
Or are people from Africa doing that?
And so we should be proud of our heritage.
Yes, there's been some crimes of every group in this planet that have been committed against each other.
But what I think is fascinating about it is America brings people from every corner of planet Earth into one melting pot.
And we're the ones that saved the world.
So people from every race did.
And, you know, it shouldn't be ignored.
It should be celebrated.
And so, you know, I think that those Judeo-Christian values is what made the world what it is today.
It used to be a vicious place.
If people don't believe me, go look up how the Chinese would torture people.
They would fillet them.
They would quarter them with horses because their spinal cord's intact and they could feel all the pain.
I don't even want to tell you the other ways they would kill people, but there's a reason why there's no cruel and unusual punishment in the United States.
We looked at all these evil ways these people in the left would treat other human beings to maintain control, and we stamped it out.
You know, the Judeo-Christian values stamped it out.
But people back then, they weren't as bashful as we are, you know, because they'd beaten us down.
You know, I mean, what's the saying?
Don't talk about religion and don't talk about politics, right?
We've all heard it our whole life.
Don't talk about religion, don't talk about politics.
And then meanwhile, they talk about Satanism with a smile.
They sexualize little girls on Netflix and have them dance around at 12 years old looking like they're prostitutes.
They're okay with killing babies minutes before they're born and who knows if they're taking those babies and selling them into slavery because nobody wants to see that baby get killed or the dead body afterwards so we don't even know if they're really killing them or they're just selling them into slavery.
And this is happening everywhere.
Right now, not just in the United States, but worldwide.
And we need to take a stand and be like, what do we really stand for?
And this is our war.
We're fighting a social, spiritual war globally right now.
Well, what you're saying resonates with a lot of people watching this, no question.
I'm not sure Communist China ever stopped torturing people, by the way.
I think they still do it today.
But some of this is a bit of a surprise, because last time we had a conversation, it was about statistics and the mathematics, the voter rolls, how they rig elections.
But you're getting into a much deeper, and I think...
A much more important realm, which is if we don't have a spiritual foundation from which to conduct elections or economies or public education and so on, then we're lost.
We've got to get back to a basic Judeo-Christian value system.
And it seems like, I mean, has that been a real dramatic shift for you over these last couple of months to go in that direction?
I guess I've always had this view.
This is the way I've lived my life.
I've never publicly discussed it and expressed it.
I have to admit, they did a good job.
They made me feel bad about speaking about God in the greatest book ever written, the Bible.
It felt weird to say it out loud.
And it's like, wait a second, I believe that though.
So why does it feel weird for me to say it?
And then meanwhile, they've convinced us that what they say can be said and celebrated out loud.
I think there's a disconnect where I think I've come, you know, it's come out of me because as I look at the data and I see how much cheating is taking place, and I think about how much, not just cheating, but how much stealing is taking place,
how much killing is taking place in our name as a nation around the world, and I look at the Ten Commandments, and that's why I go back to the Ten Commandments as being the foundation of this new political party, You know, and then the Constitution afterwards is because we didn't judge that litmus test.
We didn't take a stand on the core foundation of who we are as a spirit, as a human being.
And I think if I didn't keep uncovering more and more fraud I found all this fraud taking place in Arizona.
Then I went to Pennsylvania.
I found more.
Then I found a bunch of it in Georgia.
Then I'm looking at Illinois, my home state, and then Wisconsin.
And I'm seeing this crime take place across the border.
And then I find out in California that anybody in the various counties can't ever share the data with other counties without some type of criminal prosecution or threats of criminal prosecution.
Then I find that the data in California is spreading.
They're doing stuff with it in Arizona.
So that tells me this is an intrastate cartel of criminals that somehow they're organizing.
And so I gave it a lot of thought and I prayed on it and I'm like, How do we stop this?
How do we stop them from stealing elections into perpetuity?
That's my big concern.
Like, how do we stop this?
And as I prayed about it and thought about it, God gave me an answer.
He goes, you know, you need to create a party that attracts honest Americans and if the fake press and the corrupt agencies of this government attack those people that are good, honest, working Americans that love God, See, I call it God first.
We should love God first, and then we'll have a solid nation.
And then if they attack them, you know what?
Then we're going to open source, and we're going to do, what do they call that?
We're going to open source a counter-strike on exposing them for the evil ways and how they do it, and get the public to expose all of the crimes of the very people that are attacking the innocent among us.
And I think if we take that approach, I think we've got a fighting chance to turn this thing.
So, wow, this is a lot of big news.
So, you're talking about a new political party.
Are you saying the name is God first, or that's the slogan, or what?
The slogan is, you know, God first, and then we'll restore American greatness.
You know, God first.
President Trump, I love President Trump.
I think he's the greatest president we've had since the founding of this republic.
He really did do, if you just look at his policies, you don't judge him for his personality.
There is no president that worked harder for the American people than that president ever.
You know, that's just the way it is.
That's the facts.
So now the question is, how do we take what he did and build upon it And what I think what might have helped in hindsight is if we all put God first and we all organized and said, you know what, God, what do we need to do?
We know they're going to try to steal it.
How do we prevent this steal?
If we would have gone on the offense instead of waiting for them to cheat, maybe things would have turned out differently.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, there are a lot of things.
I mean, censorship was happening, and the GOP didn't really do anything about censorship.
They just pretended, I guess, it would go away or something.
But when you're talking about exposing this, and I don't know how deep that you've gone into the Satanism aspect, That has infiltrated the left in this country today.
I'm even maybe afraid to ask some of these questions, but the media covers up for child trafficking.
Child trafficking is a revenue model for fundraising for Democrats and so on.
I mean, that rabbit hole goes to some very, very dark, demonic places.
And even I don't want to talk.
I mean, it's just so horrifying.
I mean, I can't make that my focus and sleep at night, you know?
Well, I could tell you that I'm 45 years old, and I have a lot of dreams at times that come from God.
I think I have my own dreams, and I know the difference between the two.
So I don't always think every dream is from God.
And what I could tell you is that a few months back, I think it was maybe right in the early December, maybe before we spoke, I had a bunch of dreams come in.
About things I never, number one, I never read in my life.
Number two, I never saw anywhere in my life.
I never heard of such things in my life.
And they came into me as movies.
So it's funny, you're talking about this child trafficking.
And what I witnessed in the dream shook me so hard that I woke up sobbing.
I was just so distraught about what I witnessed in a dream.
That I can't believe how evil these people are.
And I'm not even going to describe online what they were doing to these children.
But there is a very evil element in control.
And I think Fatima, you know, it's been 100 years, I think in 2017.
And I think that right now we have to take the power back from these evil spirits that have figured out how to manipulate people Drug us up.
Poison our food.
Poison our water supply.
You know, now they're trying to, you know, do things to create confusion in people's sexual identity.
I think through chemicals and changing our biochemical structure.
I think all these chemicals that are causing obesity in this country, as I've looked into it more, I'm sure you can relate.
You know, this is what you do, right?
You expose all this crap.
You know, I'm doing this 33-day fast to prove a point about how these allergens toxicize.
Totally mess with your metabolism and cause other health issues because they throw your whole system out of kilter.
This is all engineered.
These people are evil.
It's not just engineering to keep us sick.
They don't want any competition because if you can make people obese and perpetually sick and lower in energy, 20% of our oxygen goes to our brain.
You don't have good circulation.
You're not thinking as clearly.
Then you're an easier mark.
And they view us as just prey.
And so we've got to take a stand and say, you know what?
We're tired of this game.
And we outnumber them.
I said it once, I'll say it again.
There's 616,000 Americans for every one person in Congress.
616,000.
And now there's at least 47,000 Americans for every single elected politician across this country.
So, you know, you asked me what I've been doing in the past couple months.
I've been creating and working on creating a data set for the whole country of metadata, all 50 states.
And so that what we can do when I have all this data in place is I could show and create it so that the public owns it.
I don't want to own it.
So GOP owns their data.
The Democratic Party owns their data.
I want this data to be owned by the American public.
And what the data will show is what does each county, all 3,140 counties across this country look like?
What do the economics look like?
How much is being squandered and stolen by the politicians in these counties?
How much is being stolen from the federal government by these counties as well as these states?
And so, this is what I've been up to.
I'm taking all the data, and I'm creating a baseline, and then I'm gonna, hopefully, I haven't had the time, I'm still trying to build a lot of this stuff out, but I have about a thousand volunteers who have signed up waiting for something, you know, for me to do the next thing, but as I'm kind of building out some of this preliminary infrastructure, it's to get the public To help create the data set that's owned by the people of the United States of America.
They're the ones that helped create it.
It's open sourced and I'm working through how to legally do this so that we own the data.
Nobody can try to take control of it.
Nobody can change it after an election.
And that's how we're going to beat them in the next election.
What's that?
Well, yeah, I love your concepts there.
Decentralization, let the people own it, you know, open source, grassroots.
Are you going to launch a website?
I mean, how can people find out about this party you're creating and if they want to get involved or learn more about it?
You know, the God first slogan makes a lot of sense to a lot of people because we're tired of the demons, you know?
I mean, the actual demons that are in Congress right now, they're not even human, some of them.
So we're tired of that.
How do we get involved?
Well, right now, I'm getting a site built, and it's going to be called...
Well, I have the domain for United Spirits of America.
It's not up and running yet.
But for the time being, if people just sign up for the Preactive Investments political tab, there's a little thing where you can just click on for the political newsletter.
I have the mailing.
We started the mailing yesterday.
I'll start informing people of how it's going.
I'm looking at renting some space and signing a one-year lease and get some people here.
You know, I'm in Illinois.
A few people that I hire, two, three people to work on this.
Just so you know, I want to be clear on something with this party.
I've already talked to my wife about it.
I don't want to take a single dollar of pay for it.
All my time will be donated for, you know, Helping organize everybody to get mobilized.
And that's bringing me so much joy and it's bringing me residual benefit because some people are coming on as clients for my business and them coming on as clients for my business for me doing this charitable work is payment enough.
You know, on YouTube, if people want to pray or go over the Bible with me, I do that now.
I'm on day number 11 today.
I mean, that's one way they can get involved is just start reading the Bible.
Even if they don't go on at 830 at night, that's when I go on each night.
Go, you know, get a group going of your family and friends and just go through.
You can download an app for free.
Some of these apps, like, I think it's you, what is it, I'll tell you right now.
This app, YouVersion, has half a billion downloads.
And it's free.
And you can create a group.
And then you can do your own version of building our spiritual muscles up to fight this evil.
So the best way for everybody to get involved right now...
Take out the greatest book ever written in the world.
Look at those Ten Commandments.
Start there.
Set up groups.
And then, you know, please follow me.
Like, I don't run any ads on my YouTube thing for anything religious.
I don't believe ever profiting from the Word of God.
I have no interest in doing that.
And I'm not going to do it anytime...
You know, like, that's just...
I don't believe in it.
I think it's violating...
The third commandment, using the Lord's name in vain.
I'm not trying to figure out how to get a Ferrari off of people's belief in God.
It's far more important to live in a society where wealth means nothing if you don't have your liberty and if you don't have a society built on integrity.
Let me ask you this.
Since you brought up pre-active investments and financial issues, Just to change the subject a little bit, how do you navigate this crazy stock market bubble, the irrational environment of investing, which, you know, it's just insane.
The massive money printing by the Fed, $1.9 trillion in stimulus money about to be handed out by Biden, mostly payoffs.
You know, it's got nothing to do with COVID for the most part.
But, you know, you handle people's money.
You make investment decisions.
How do you navigate all that?
Well, the way I navigate is I start with a holistic approach of how things are pricing across the entire market.
So there's over 100 different industry groups and there's about 10, 11 core economic sectors.
And I look at how all those things are pricing across And I look at how productive the workforces are of different industries, and then what the valuation looks like.
And right now, it is sad, but there isn't a lot of value because of all the distortion caused by the amount of money that is being printed.
So you have to be creative.
And so just so you know, I'm very clear what makes what I do a little different than what most people do in the markets.
The majority of Americans, I think, now are invested in ETFs or index funds where you're just told, look, you don't know what this is worth.
So since nobody knows, just buy this.
And then you're just sold a product.
And the way I would argue, this is what people are telling you on traditional Wall Street firms.
Hey, Bobby, you want to live in this area over here?
Let's just say this zip code here.
Let's just say St.
Charles.
Nobody knows what a house is worth, so you should just pay whatever somebody's asking.
Just buy it.
With no analysis.
And you would look at them like they had two heads.
You're like, what are you talking about?
What are the taxes?
What's the school like?
You would do some analysis.
And right now, they've dumbified the investing process.
And the reason, if you want to hear why I think it's happening, you should look into it yourself.
Maybe you already know this.
BlackRock It's right in our faces.
Oil.
BlackRock is Rockefeller.
BlackRock, oil.
Blackstone, private equity, Rockefellers.
Okay?
Same two CEOs of both companies for about 30 years.
BlackRock went from $600 million in assets in 88 to $8 trillion today.
So how do they do that?
Because they've been pushing all their cash into these funds from all their money they've been taking from the oil industry.
They're oil profits for decades, okay?
So now you ask yourself a question, do you want to support ETFs that are, you know, basically Rockefeller's way in which they move money around the world to dictate policies and then try to, you know, and then these same companies, they set the boards and they set the payoffs on the boards of who does what.
And this is how they took control of our society.
So what I'm trying to navigate as an investor, to answer your question, is how do we play within this game, because these are the choices we have, to create portfolios that fit people's values and their beliefs, and that they...
You know, we try to avoid buying things that are mispriced or overpriced, and it's being hidden because it's in a package that nobody looks underneath the hood.
So what I like to do is look underneath the hood, find what I think is the cheapest underneath the hood of like 2,000 names, and assemble portfolios that way.
And so that's the approach.
And you know what the deal is?
Michael, even for you, for example, if you were an investor with me, Here's the key thing that I do that's different.
You can't be a client if you always feel you have to be invested.
Because there's nothing to do, I'm sitting in cash.
And if you've got a problem with it, take that cash out.
But keep in mind, I only take positions based on how big the account is.
So I put risk on as a percentage of how much the account value is.
So if you take the cash down, you have smaller positions.
So that's what I do.
And I can sleep at night like a baby because, you know, like I told my sister, who's okay with me telling people she's a client, I said, Chris, how long does it take you to save $5,000, $10,000, you know, working?
And, you know, she might take me a year.
Now, if you lose $50,000 and you save $5,000 a year, that's 10 years of savings.
From my perspective, preservation of capital is paramount.
I try to do everything based on that concept.
I take money very seriously from the standpoint that you sacrificed your time and energy to accumulate it.
It deserves the same respect.
So just fascinating stuff, but just to continue the question here, dollars are losing so much value now that if someone isn't earning 10 or 20% return annually on their dollars, they're losing purchasing power because prices of food and fuel and housing are going up, in many cases, more than 10 to 20% a year.
I mean, the inflationary pressures, at least on consumer goods, are extremely strong.
And the other thought that I'd like to ask you to respond to is that, remember the Japanese stock market crash of 1989?
And how devastating that was because the bubble was so huge.
Massive real estate bubble, especially in Tokyo.
Well, there was a milestone, I think, a week ago or two weeks ago.
The Japanese stock market finally returned to the level it was in 1989.
So it took 31 years to recover from the losses in a very short-term bubble when that bubble collapsed.
And 30 years of investing, that's the whole adult lifespan of a typical American investor.
If you keep your money in at the wrong time, you can lose everything you've ever worked for.
So with those two things in mind, how can anybody even protect their principal without losing some purchasing power?
Well, let me start with Japan first, because I've studied Japan and I've actually invested in various companies over my career in Japan.
Even though everything you're saying is right, the market did collapse because of them using their market.
They weaponized their stock market.
That's what a lot of people don't realize.
They pumped it up like a bubble so they can go around the world and buy up assets on the cheap.
It's a different form of mercantilism, right?
They just went and bought up stuff with their paper because they just issued paper.
When the market collapsed, there was massive deflation in Japan for the past 30 years.
So even though their assets didn't go up in value, you know, the average person in Japan's quality of life continued to go up, believe it or not.
So they had 30 years of deflation for the most part on average in Japan.
So people's cost of living continued to go down for 30 years.
Now, We kind of flip that to what's going on right now in the United States, and we're in a really weird spot because, you know, I agree with you, they've pumped up the money supply by over 25% in a year, the Federal Reserve balance sheet.
And they did that because the velocity of the economy, you know, how often money turns collapsed.
As a result of money collapse that took place, they had to put in more money to keep price stability in check.
Let me explain something about price stability.
If you get into a deflationary trap where you're a company and you think your prices will continue to go down, you will start firing people or you'll start cutting production because you don't know what the floor is.
So, even when economic activity contracts significantly, you don't want to come into a situation where deflation is too strong across all sectors of the economy.
You don't mind it if it's in pockets, but you don't want it across.
I know this is a little bit of a long-winded answer, but the expansion in the money supply, if it happens like what happened in 99-2000, it could lead to a pretty severe retracement in some asset prices.
I'm not making a call on what's going to happen one way or another.
There's a few things that have changed now versus 99 and 2000, okay?
One is there's a lot of money going in in these target date funds and they automatically buy like every week, every month.
And so there's a lot of money that kind of keeps things from spiraling out of control.
Last year when President Trump, you know, when the market, they tried to collapse the stock market in March.
A lot of people don't realize how close we came I think people underestimate what Trump did.
That's one of the reasons why he's the greatest president, because he took decisive action and made sure that the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury took over some of the Federal Reserve functions and backstopped An outright collapse of asset prices.
And so to answer your question, it's like, will we let it happen?
I don't think there's any reason we don't.
We have the tools to make sure that it never, ever happens.
And the US dollar is 60% of the world's currency.
And like, you know, as you know, there's a lot of alternatives coming up to help pull away and strip away government power worldwide right now, which is super healthy long term.
And believe it or not, it's extremely deflationary.
Because the size of the government, you know, and I've said, you know, so this is why I think we're in the middle of what's happening to get to your question.
The U.S. is experiencing this last pop of inflation, possibly.
Everybody's panicking as to what's going to happen next.
At the end of 1999-2000, we had massive inflation, and people thought I think it was WorldCom, which is the old MCI, if you recall that.
Those things exploded.
Broadband exploded.
Enron with energy around the same time.
Everything was speculative, and it just kind of went.
And there was a concern that it would permanently take down the whole U.S. economy.
It didn't.
It was a really bad hangover.
Right now, we're a little bit in that spot, but what's different this time around is there's a lot of slack already in the system, the 10 million people that lost their job, that if things do contract relative to the earnings power potential of people, We have more of a buffer in place.
Let me simplify it this way.
For 70 to 80 years in this country, the ratio of what the country was worth compared to the GDP, how much the country produced, that ratio was about 3.8 to 1.
Okay, fair enough?
So if we produced a trillion dollars, the country was worth 3.8 trillion.
All in.
All the debt, all the stock, everything.
If we produce 10 trillion, it's worth 38 trillion.
Okay?
Well, right now, the country's producing about 21 trillion dollars.
So that ratio is over five to one, probably five and a half to one.
This is the highest it's ever been in our country's history.
But keep in mind, we are also the oldest we've ever been in our nation's history.
When you're older, you have more on assets than when you're younger, collectively, because you just saved more.
So those numbers, you gotta look at them with that component as well, but because the number is already pretty high, that doesn't mean it should fall, it could stay high.
We might just be in a situation where we grind.
Nobody really makes any money, nothing falls hard, we just sit for the next five, ten years.
Where stocks and bonds just kind of grind along is what I would say If I had to bet on what's gonna happen, we're gonna go continue to skyrocket up or crash down, my money would be on, we're gonna probably grind and just fluctuate for five or 10 years and deflate the debt.
Because that's what's happening.
We're literally, we're writing down the debt whether people realize it or not with this inflation.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Okay, you covered a lot of ground there.
It brought up a couple of questions, too.
So with all this money printing that took place in 2020 and is now continuing in 2021, as you mentioned, the velocity of money was very low during that time because of the economic lockdowns and COVID shutdowns and so on.
So they threw all this money into the system, but now with states like Texas lifting the mask mandates and returning businesses to 100% normal operating capacity...
If that continues to be a trend across the country, with all that extra money in this system and velocity picking back up, doesn't that mean the Fed would have to do emergency interest rate increases?
And we could be looking at a Jimmy Carter type of outcome in the late 70s, interest rates headed to 20%.
Is that possible?
Well, see, since the election, the short rate, like the treasuries, was about 0.75%.
Okay, and now it's about 1.4.
So it's gone up, it's almost doubled in three months.
So when the short-term rate of money goes up that fast, Now, if you're a bank, right?
So let's assume, Michael, you had your own bank.
And right now, the Federal Reserve said, Michael, you can borrow from us at zero.
And rates, you're like, oh, I'll take this money at zero.
I'm going to get 75 bps.
That's not enough.
I'm not going to do anything.
But now, if bond rates go to 1.4, you're going to be like, you know what?
I'll take it at zero and buy these bonds at 1.4.
I'll take the risk.
So what could happen, and nobody knows for sure, but as Texas opens, and Mississippi just opened yesterday as well, and then other states open, if the velocity starts to kick up and the government wants to soak up that money,
it wants to pull it back and shrink the money supply, which we haven't seen in a while, Then, you know, it's a function of how do you, you know, if you drive up rates to this, if you start to tweak up those short-term rates, the money will get soaked up out of the economy.
So I don't necessarily think you're going to, what you need to worry about is the long end of the range.
Like, you know, like, you know, the 30-year bonds.
The rates I just told you about, I think that's the 10-year.
It went from 75 to 1.4.
So 10-year money still at 1.4.
It's not so bad, 1.4.
Treasury bills, I think they're like 10 basis points, like one-tenth of 1%.
We're kind of like a rubber band.
If you think about a rubber band when it's taut, when you stretch it, we're like the rubber bands.
We don't even have it at the initial stretching just yet.
And so we have some slack.
But this is something, you know, if you invite me back on, I'm more than happy to talk about it every month, two months.
We'll talk about it in real time for you if you want.
Because I keep track of all this, you know, for my own sanity and so that I can sleep at night with what I'm doing.
I need to pay attention to what might happen.
And this is one of the reasons why I told you, I don't have a problem being in cash.
Like right now, I'm very defensively positioned.
And every client knows that.
I'm I'm defensively positioned with my client's money.
I can't tell you how much I'm defensively positioned, but I tell people all the time, if you want to do the best thing for your money right now, ask yourself how much you lost last year in the market.
If you lost the same percentage this year, would you be okay with that?
If the answer is no, Figure out how much that number looks like.
If you went down 30% last year, and now you're like, I don't ever want to go down that much again, but I'm okay going down 15%, then cut how much you have at risk in half.
You know, you don't need an expert for that.
It's your money.
You should sit and look at it and be like, you know what?
I don't know what I should, you know, right now I don't ever want to feel that much pain.
I'm going to buckle down, take my money down, you know, have a little more in cash.
And you can't let it bother you if you don't do anything for one or two years where nothing, you're not doing anything with your money because it's more important that you don't lose it.
Yeah, but why not just buy gold and silver and sit on that?
Sitting on cash is a very high risk because cash is getting less and less valuable.
Gold and silver suppress prices.
They hold purchasing power over the long haul.
Why wouldn't somebody just do that?
Well, I think that if they do that, and I'm not saying they shouldn't, I'm not saying they should.
It's a careful thing because I'm subject to regulation.
Yes, I get it.
What I will say is this.
If you are concerned about the debasement of money, then I think looking at metals is much more interesting than cryptocurrencies as a starting point.
That's what I'm just saying.
If I was going to research something, I'd be like, you know what?
2000 years of history.
Gold has retained value.
Silver has retained value.
That looks like I should explore what that means.
Then, you know, with cryptocurrencies, I think it's a phenomenal technology, but unless you have a government enforce that contract, which it's, you know, it's not owned by anybody, whatever you have in it could disappear overnight.
As long as you know that when you're buying it, it could be stolen from you and you have no repercussion, you know, no recourse.
As long as you know that.
Good point, yeah.
But if you own gold and silver, you have something.
Obviously, you need to talk to an expert, is what I would say.
But I think before you talk to an expert, you should research it yourself.
There's some great books.
I think Bernstein wrote a great book about the history of gold.
You could probably read that and pick it up at the library or something.
You don't have to buy it.
Just go to the library, get that book.
Read up on the history of these things just so that you have some perspective as to how they've done through time.
And I think you're spot on.
I'd much rather have us be a commodity metals-based currency structure in this country than the criminal printing of money that takes place now.
Because we all know it's criminal.
Yeah, and I would also add, if you go to your library, be sure to read that book before it gets burned.
Because, I mean, they're burning Dr.
Seuss books now.
You know, Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham or whatever Dr.
Seuss books they don't like.
I mean, they're going to come for the gold books next.
And the Bibles, too.
They're coming for the Bibles.
That's already set in stone because, of course, the demons hate the Bible.
And Amazon said it's not going to sell any books anymore that contain hate speech.
So what's their definition of hate speech?
Well, anything that leftists hate.
So that's...
I mean, they're going to ban all conservative books, all Bible books, everything.
That's Amazon now.
That's happening.
Well, then what...
Yeah, to your point, people should buy physical copies of all this stuff.
Yep.
You know, and on the point of Dr.
Seuss, tell people, everybody that's listening to this, if you have children with Dr.
Seuss, I actually, in tribute to Dr.
Seuss, I read that book, Two Fish with My Two Daughters, yesterday online.
And I sing it to the alphabet.
So you can sing any Dr.
Seuss book to the alphabet.
No way.
Yeah.
I figured that out when I was just singing to them.
So nobody ever told me about it.
I figured it out.
And they love listening to the pages be sung to the tune of the ABCs.
I see.
Wow.
Well, Dr.
Seuss books are now, by the way, a store of value.
They're being auctioned on eBay for $600 a book now.
Seriously?
Seriously.
Wow.
I think I almost have the full collection.
I've always loved those books for my kids.
Well, there you go.
$600.
Man, that's a lot.
You hit the jackpot right there.
At some point, you've got to hit the bid.
You've got to be like, you know what?
I'm just going to get a photocopier machine, 10 cents a page.
I'll get the photocopied version and sell the other one for $600.
Oh, who knew?
You've got to tell your wife, yeah, I did all this statistical investment stuff, but the real money came from the Dr.
Seuss books.
That's right.
It would be pretty funny.
That would be funny.
Okay.
Well, we're just having fun.
But, Bobby, we're out of time.
I want to ask you for just final thoughts to wrap this up.
It's been a fascinating conversation.
We'll do this again much sooner than the last gap.
But what would you like to leave us with in terms of ideas?
I think the best thing I would say is, you know, let's all go back to the fundamentals.
You know, go back to reading the Bible, even if your church is shut down.
It's much more powerful if you read it in small groups with your family or friends.
And if your family or friends don't want to read it with you, don't worry about it.
Get online.
There's so many groups of people that want to go over it together and read it.
And you can just join different groups.
So that's the first thing I would say.
And I think that getting that spiritual grounding back is super important.
Number two, You know, with your sight and what you stress with regards to eating, during these difficult times where people are overly stressed and uncertain about the world, go back to the basics on your health and your diet.
I tell my kids all the time, I don't like to eat anything that has more than three to five ingredients in the food item.
And ideally just one.
So even if you don't do anything super complicated, just try to go back to the basics on what you're eating.
Get these chemicals out of us.
And if you have a free spirit, your digestive system is doing well, you do great.
And then on the physical world side, each hundred dollars that you spend on things that you don't really need, Think of it this way.
It's worth $2,000.
If you think about the stock market right now, it's worth 20 times earnings.
So when you spend $100, it's like you're giving up $2,000 of value over a certain cycle.
And so if you can save money by not buying things you don't need, they'll give you some peace of mind.
In terms of, you know, storing your capital.
And just, I would say with the currency stuff and everything, you should be cautious, like Michael's suggesting, and everybody is nervous about this, and just like I am professionally, I worry about it every day.
But just let's see it kind of play out a little bit more.
And, you know, don't overthink it.
Let's just kind of like, let's see how it plays out in the next few months.
Because I think that with the economy opening back up, let's see if they do the right thing and start pulling back in the money supply.
I think that'll calm a lot of people down.
And the VIX index is suggesting that we are getting into more stability with that because it's gone down from over 30, 35.
It's now, I think, in the low to mid-20s.
So as the volatility index falls, that should hopefully calm everything down.
But thank you so much again, Michael, for having me.
At some point, I'd like to interview you.
I want to hear what you think.
You're asking me what I think.
I want to hear more about what you think.
I'd be happy to join you on that.
You're a fascinating individual.
I love what you're doing.
We want to hear more about your new political party, so keep us posted about that, and we'll share that information with our audience and all the influencers that we reach as well.
Bobby, thank you so much for God bless you, by the way, and prayers and blessings to you for all that you're doing.
Stay with it.
We need you.
We need your energy.
We need your ideas.
We need your commitment to help save this country.
God bless you as well, Michael.
Thank you so much.
All right.
