Scriptures And Wallstreet- Stacked Against Us

Time Text
Thank you.
Hey guys, Carlos Cortez here.
You know, the name of this episode is called Rigged Against Us.
For many, many reasons.
Do you ever feel like...
Stock market's going down, you're doing bad at work, or just things in general are just negative and nothing is working.
Well, welcome to the spirit of negativity.
Welcome to life is not the bubble world that you plan it out to and Honestly, the only thing we have to do is just focus on the plan.
What is that plan?
Many of you guys don't have a plan.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt kicks in.
Our brain is always going to seek comfort.
Warmth, comfort, and excuses.
Because it's our flight to survival.
Our brain is wired to seek comfort.
Actually, it is the culture to seek comfort.
And I'm not saying you have to be uncomfortable, but name me one person that has grown in a comfort zone.
And I'll sit and wait.
That was my little crickets there.
In all reality, in all seriousness, we have to get used to getting uncomfortable.
It's very uncomfortable.
With this idiotic president.
It's very uncomfortable with me telling you, I don't know what the banks are going to do.
I don't know what they're up to.
I'm like the weatherman.
We know there's a financial crisis that will happen.
We know there's a financial Armageddon that will happen.
I can't tell you when.
I may be able to tell you how.
But I'm like the weatherman.
Like, hey, the storm is coming.
This is some of the survival kits you need in order to survive this financial storm that is going to come.
Part of it is having these puppies in your gun safe.
Right?
Silver bars.
I like them better than gold.
Gold can be taken back by the government.
Silver is industrial metal.
Silver has ability to To be used to make lithium batteries, to make EV cars, to make athletic gear, to make clothing, to make medical devices.
There's a lot of uses for silver, and the government really can't even reclaim all the silver back.
It's very liquid.
It acts as a hedge against your portfolio.
There's a lot of benefits to silver.
Right now, it's priced around $23 an ounce.
I like the bars.
You can liquidate these very well.
This is a 10 ounce bar.
Also, I even like the silver with Bible scriptures on them because you can get them qualified for religiously exemption.
Religiously exempt, however you want to call it.
But hey, this podcast is called Rigged Against Us because I just kind of wanted to tell you a story.
I just wanted to have a conversation.
Guys, I grew up in the business as a stockbroker.
And when I was that, there were companies out there that was willing to pay me X amount of money to promote their products.
I didn't have any clients.
I didn't have anything.
I was just licensed and I was thrown into the trenches.
And I quickly learned what Wall Street was about.
And come to find out...
We have a legal way of bribery when it comes to the investment banks.
So if you have a mutual fund, if you have a variable annuity, if you have anything that's a package, they call it a package product.
Where everything's mashed together and they sell it and you have to pay a commission to buy it.
It's called a package products.
Very, very popular with the cookie cutter advice.
The guy that sells mutual funds, variable annuities, and that's all he sells.
You only need a series 6 license to do that.
You are acting as a broker and not a fiduciary.
But long story short, these investment firms, they actually are willing to pay big banks walk-in fees.
To name something, like American Funds was paying a bunch of money to Edward Jones, Franklin Templeton, Columbia, all these investment or mutual fund companies were paying a boatload of money to Ameriprise.
This has been my experience when I used to work for them.
And so what happened basically is these investment companies would pay millions and millions of dollars to the broker-dealer firms so they can have just the opportunity to speak to the advisors so the advisors can actually recommend it to their clients for those of the advisors that actually had clients.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think that those investments, that these big banks were actually paying to do the walk-in fee so they can present to us so we can learn from their script, their story, their breath on how to project it and really find a fit for the client?
They call it educational events.
There was nothing educational about it.
Here's the crazy part.
These expensive dinners that you have, a lot of them are paid by these investment companies because they are completely, completely supporting Supporting that advisor,
that brokerage firm, that financial institution to go ahead and preach about this financial package product that has high fees and high risk and really doesn't even benefit the client at most times.
But yet, that young advisor, that new and know better, had this pressure of...
Selling and only offering these products so the company can continue to receive these walk-in fees.
And really, the crappy part is the advisor, if he goes against the grain, it is like a concentration camp for us advisors that were just starting out.
Like, if we didn't follow suit, they would actually...
Send us to the principal's office and threaten to fire us and mark up our license so we can never work in the industry again.
And I just got sick of it.
I got sick of it.
And one day I said, you know, I know Matthew 6.26 says, If God can provide for the birds in the air, how much more can we provide for us as children?
I will not walk in fear.
I knew God's promises.
and my integrity was never for sale so I got out of that crappy rat race disgusting and I just I'm actually my heart is actually doing a whole documentary on this because it reminds me of the pharmaceutical industry like the the young kids they go to doctors they want to be a doctor they really really want to help people and help patients But then they learn the medical school way.
And I don't really need...
I'm preaching to the choir here.
But Big Pharma is now paying these students.
I remember growing up in the financial...
In my financial career, at one...
At one office I had, it was next to a CVS, and I would see this young kid, very nice guy.
He would just come in right after school, right after the bell rung, the stock market bell rung.
I would go out, throw the football at my teammates after the bell rung.
I was a stockbroker, and then we were pretty much done for the day at 4 o'clock.
So, I see this guy going into CVS, like, around the same time I'm throwing a football in the parking lot.
And I get to know him because I see him every day.
Same time, drove a Lexus, a brown Lexus, ES300 Lexus.
And he said, yeah.
I said, hey, what's your name?
And, you know, I see you coming this time every single day.
He said, oh, yeah, I'm a student.
I'm doing a co-op CVS. CVS has a program where they will help pay for my college.
They actually give me a new car.
They'll pay a huge bonus.
And actually, I'll get a new Lexus if I work for CVS as a pharmacist.
I said, wow, that's really cool.
I didn't know anything.
I wasn't woke.
I didn't bat an eye.
I just was really genuinely happy for this kid.
He was excited.
And he was going through the same thing I was going through.
The bribery.
The bribery of the young innocent.
And we didn't know better.
Here I am in the financial world.
He's in the medical world.
He seems like he comes from a good family.
He has a good heart.
But he was just doing what his parents told him to do, is to get a good job, get a great education, work 40 years, hopefully you have a 401k, hopefully you get married with a white picket fence, and you live the American dream.
Speaking of which of the 401k and IRAs, I want to talk about that.
And so the reason that this whole thing is called rigged against you is because it is rigged against you.
From where you get your advice is terrible.
Like, all the big box advisors give you terrible advice because they're being taught the Luciferian, draconian, nasty, big pharma-like, communistic advice that they're giving you has no authority over God's fearing patriots.
I mean, it's disgusting.
Like, all of these products that I was taught as a kid that I had to regurgitate back to clients, and if I didn't, I would get in trouble, and then my license would be suspended, and they would mark it up and all this junk, and I wouldn't be able to find a normal job in my field.
I would have to find another field.
That's what they're threatening me about.
Well, obviously, I got out of that, and I created my own firm.
That was the long story of it, but...
This is going on and on and on.
So when you interview advisors, when you talk to them, understand where they're coming from.
If you go to Wells Fargo, Edward Jones, Morgan Stanley, all these big bought companies, they are there to protect the bank, not you.
Their interest is the shareholders.
If you have a financial firm that is publicly traded, Their interest is for the shareholders, then you, the client.
I got sick and tired of it.
I got really, really pissed off, man.
I'm just disgusted of how this is happening, why this is happening to hard-working Americans.
God will never, ever question The million bucks I make.
Or two million bucks.
Or whatever money I make.
God will never question the money you make.
I hope you guys are very prosperous.
You've been following me for a while.
I hope that you're prosperous.
God will never ever question how much money you've made from your business.
From your consulting.
Whatever it is.
As long as it's a legal, ethical way of making a living.
But He will question your character.
That it took to make that money.
So, this is why I don't have sponsors.
This is why I pay a lot of money for my show.
This is why I am a self-sponsor.
I self-sponsor my own show.
I pay for my own show.
Because I'm so sensitive to the agenda that other people have.
I don't want you guys to think that, hey, this gold company is paying me $30,000 a month.
And this nutraceutical company is paying me money.
And this guy is paying me $15,000 plus a month.
I don't want that.
I don't need it.
I want to speak the truth.
I want to get the truth out to you.
Because God will not judge me for how much money I make.
He will judge me on my character.
I want you to understand that.
I am not a sellout.
I am not a sellout.
I don't even need to talk about that.
So, the whole thing is...
I am truly, truly wanting the best for you.
Even if I don't have a financial gain in it, I truly care about your financial well-being.
I feel that I've been led by God to give the actual positive 110% truth of what really is going on.
And so that you can know what is best for you and your household.
Whether you decide to do business with us or not.
It's irrelevant.
Because at the end of the day, God will judge you by your character.
So the whole reason about this podcast is that I feel like this whole daggone ecosystem is rigged against you.
And so, from the nature of the financial advice, the banks, oh my god, the banks, they are a joke.
Complete joke.
The whole FDIC, I mean, you guys just listen, go ahead and listen to my podcast just last week.
The FDIC, I mean, they simply can just take your money out of the banks.
So, one year worth of expenses.
If you're a business owner, maybe two years worth of payroll.
Get you some of these puppies here.
Silver bars.
I have a great contact.
If you want some, give us a call.
813-448-3446.
Or book an appointment online at corteswm.com.
I've got to say my disclosure here.
Obviously, you guys know that this is not financial advice.
Everything I say on this podcast and all other podcasts is not financial advice.
Please seek a financial licensed professional investment advisor that can give you advice.
This podcast is simply for educational purposes.
Now, if you're interested in speaking with us, simply just give us a call at 813-448-3446 or visit us on our website at corteswm.com.
So, the other aspect rigged against us.
While I was going back to that story of the kid that was graduating from pharmacy school and his mom told him, save, save, save into your 401k.
Let me ask you.
Is that the best advice?
Save into your 401k.
I'll wait.
I don't think it is.
Because you're saving into a financially inoculated account.
The government owns your 401k.
The government owns your IRA. And so what really, really happens here is, check this out.
By the time you are, let me call it, by the time that you reach retirement age, well, what is retirement age?
You know the government determines when your retirement age is.
Just look it up.
It's called the earnings test.
Just go on your internet, do a little quick search, and look up earnings test, age limit.
And you'll quickly find that the government determines when you need to retire.
How does that make you feel?
Doesn't feel too good, right?
Because the government now can determine if you take Social Security, you are literally on a welfare program, so here...
Hear me how ass-backwards this is.
You save.
You graduate.
You do everything mom and dad told you to do and what the college system tells you.
You work your 40 years.
You save into a 401k.
You get your match.
No one has told you different.
The market goes down.
You're feeling like a champion because you're 40 years old.
The market fell off 40%.
Now it's time to double down, baby.
Double down.
You feel like a rock star.
And then guess what happens?
What?
Come Social Security time, they got you by the shorthairs.
Now tell me how long that money is going to last you.
Tell me how long they're going to tax you.
Tell me everything that, what you're going to do with this money.
And quite frankly, you're going to quickly learn that you've been financially inoculated.
Because when you take Social Security and you make over $19,500 in a year while taking Social Security before...
That federally mandated earnings test, where I told you they determine when you retire, you will be penalized 50%.
Then comes the new Secure Act of 2.0, which was established last year.
Trump came up with the Secure Act of 1.0, and what it basically did, the 1.0 was simple.
They basically moved...
They got rid of inherited IRAs.
Well, that was Secure Act 2.0.
But Secure Act basically meant that you needed a fiduciary license to even give advice.
But they were messing around with the maximum age withdrawal rate.
So, it used to be 70, 70 and a half...
Now it's 72 in the Secure Act.1.
And so what that technically did, it changed the withdrawal rate from 3.65.
So if you had $100,000 in your retirement account or 401k or IRA, traditional IRA, SEP IRA, what have you, whatever government-written contract that you had, You have to take money out at age 72, and if you don't, you get penalized 50%.
You have to take 3.65% out with the Secure Act 1.0 that no longer is, it's not even in existence anymore because Secure Act 2.0 came out last year, and it's effective this year.
So it can be very, very confusing if you don't know the Secure Act 2.0.
But basically, I'm here to educate you guys.
The new number is 73.
Right?
So they changed it from 70.5 to 72.
Now it's 73.
The SECURE Act, at 73 years old, if you don't take money out, you will be penalized 50%.
You have to take over 4% of your total account in traditional IRAs or qualified accounts other than your Roth.
If you don't take out 4.0% by the time you're 73, you will be penalized 50%.
There is talks that they're wanting to increase the penalty on the RMD amount.
You will lose half of your money.
So, everybody is so wrapped up about this financial collapse, and the dollar's going to crash, and oh my gosh, the CBDC is coming out with the blockchain, we gotta run to the fences, the Great Reset, the Global Reset, and boom!
Like a freight train.
Like a freight train, they hit you with taxes because no one's talking about it.
And that's how the government works.
They create these little distractions so you don't do the Roth conversions, so you don't convert your IRAs into a tax-free cash value life policy, so you don't do anything proactive.
They create these little PSYOPs.
Guys, if you have a 401k IRA, you are going to get financially inoculated.
If you take Social Security, you are going to get smacked up.
Your 401k and IRA is worth half.
Straight up, it's worth half of it, what it is right now.
Quit messing around with this BS of, oh, the dollar's going to crash.
Oh my God, this, this.
Listen to yourselves.
You're like in a panic.
Calm the heck down, dude.
Like, focus.
Focus.
You're acting like crazy.
You're acting in a spirit of fear.
Do you not believe?
Do you not believe Matthew 6, 26?
Look at the birds in the air.
They neither sow nor reap nor gather to the barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Some of you trust the money in your bank more than God's Word.
Straight up, man.
I know this is an uncomfortable message, but if that's you, if you're fear-mongered and you live in fear, I'm not the dude for you, man.
Please, don't give us a call.
Don't do it.
You're acting like an atheist.
And I really can't give you advice if you're so frantic and you think the whole world is going to collapse.
We are America.
When have you...
Laid your guard down.
We are America.
I mean, it would take like 14 Joe Bidens for us to fail.
My father and many other brave men and women have died for this country, have fought for this country, have served this country because they believed in it.
Go to Cuba, go to Venezuela, go to China.
Heck, go to Europe, go to Australia.
They would die to be over here.
Don't listen to the Canadians say, oh, I'm glad I'm in Canada.
They don't have a backbone.
We are the only country that has a second amendment.
We the people can take charge.
We don't have to falter into weakness.
The wokeness is bleeding into the conservative movement and coming up as a victim card.
Guys, we, the people, own.
We are fully loaded.
Every home in America has an average of two and a half gun, two and a half firearms.
I mean, I got a bunch myself.
I know Stu's got a killer amount.
And most of my clients are like an armory.
You know?
So, I literally stocked up since Obama.
I was only like 25, 24, 25 years old.
And I was buying ammo every time I went to buy eggs and bread at Walmart.
I had a Walmart grocery store near me.
I just bought eggs, bacon, ammo.
Eggs, bacon, toothpaste, ammo.
Eggs, bacon, toilet paper, disinfectant cleaner, ammo.
Like, every time I just went, I just bought ammo.
Ammo, ammo, ammo.
Now it was diapers, formula, ammo.
Every time I went, I just picked up a box.
Doing that for five years, I have a stash full.
So...
We are fully armed.
We are America, guys.
No one's not going to come knocking on door, trying to jab us, trying to take our gold.
Good luck.
It'll be hard to do a 5-5-6 or 2-2-3 lead flying around you because you are not welcomed in my home.
My home will be protected, not just by my firearms, but the blood of Jesus.
And we will not live in fear.
Are you joking me?
Are we atheists right now?
Like, do we not believe...
Do we not believe God's word?
Do we not believe the red letters in this book?
Do we not believe the stories that he tells us over 200 times?
Do not fear.
And here we are.
We're fearing.
Some people are taking their financially inoculated accounts And buying gold and silver IRAs, that is ridiculous.
Don't do that.
IRA is still owned by the government and you just bought a commodity that is going up, up, up, up and down and traded and manipulated by the Chicago Board of Exchange.
And you really can't retire when you have a whole, when all of your IRAs is a moving target.
So, the SECURE Act, you need to know what that is guys.
Honestly, they got rid of inherited IRAs on top of all that, of them increasing the withdrawal rates.
So when you withdraw money and they force you to withdraw money out of that financially inoculated owned government account called the IRA, when you take money out of the IRAs, you got to pay taxes on it, man.
The government feels that since you've never paid taxes on that money, it is theirs.
You're investing.
You're like this kid, 40 years in the job, investing in your 401k.
You got a million bucks.
Great.
You made the match.
Oh, I do 12% Carlos of my salary because they're going to match up to 5%.
Okay, great.
Okay, great.
You just created a huge tax bomb for yourself.
Ain't it funny that cash value life insurance...
Gets all the jokes.
Gets all the bad stuff.
But yeah, it's actually one of the best, best products for you in this day and age.
Now, I don't like Whole Life.
I like High Growth Index Universal Life.
Because you can save into that.
In a Roth 401k, you can only save up to $7,000 a year.
And then there's catch-up provisions if you're over the age of 50.
But they limit you on how much you can put in.
And...
They say it's tax-free with the Roth 401ks.
Be very careful, guys.
It's still owned by the government.
What do you think the government's going to do 20, 30 years from now?
Maybe 15 years from now or 10 years from now.
They're going to go ahead and say that the Roth 401ks are, yes, tax-free because you paid taxes on it.
But when it comes to Social Security...
I can see them saying that it's going to count towards that calculation of that $19,500, which they can change that $19,500 earnings test to $18,000 or $17,000.
They can lower it.
They do not want you making an income while you're on Social Security.
If you're pulling money from a tax-free source, it does not count towards that income.
So they are wanting to get rid of the tax-free buckets that are around.
They've been trying to do that for 50 years with life insurance.
Cash value life insurance.
But they can't because it's based on your life.
And this is why I like insurance contract law.
Especially when it comes to social security planning.
The SECURE Act.
Inherited IRAs is what I wanted to mention.
Inherited IRAs.
Think about all the single people that have died with a traditional IRA.
Do you know that they don't have a spouse to give it to?
If they did have a spouse, then it would be basically a tax-free, no problem, no probate transaction.
Husband passes away, gives it to his wife.
His wife assumes IRA.
They can commingle it together, no problem.
You're still going to have to pay taxes when you pull money out, but all intents and purposes, But when Uncle Bob passes away and has a beautiful niece, Diana, and Diana's just a teacher, she only makes $40,000 a year, but Uncle Bob had a half a million dollar condo on the beach here in Florida.
He sells it.
I'm sorry, he passes away and gifts his heir, Diana, his lovely niece.
She gets a half a million dollar condo.
It's being sold.
Now she's got to pay taxes on that condominium on $500,000.
She made $40,000, so next thing you know, she is in a whole other tax bracket.
What the government wants to do when it comes to inherited IRA, not what they want to do, they are doing it, is they want you to pay the taxes within 5 to 10 years.
All of it.
Doesn't matter how big your IRA is.
If you don't have a spouse and you pass away, you literally got to pay all that taxation.
Remember the RMD amount with the earnings test?
They want you to pay that taxation within 5 to 10 years.
They got rid of stretch IRAs.
This is how they're able to print and print and print and print and print and print because, unfortunately, they have a plan to take your retirement through taxation.
It is not fun, guys.
It's not a joke either.
So...
It really is...
I'm a bearer of bad news.
So this is why I say it's rigged against you.
This is why I say it's rigged against you.
I can go on and on and on about the bribery from me being in the business at a young age, how my company was paid by these investment companies to literally promote a product that was never good for the client.
I can tell you about some of the policies that Washington has done that really hurts the American retiree.
I can tell you about the greed that my peers got involved in and how they got hurt.
I can tell you That the shareholders are the ones that are running everything and not the advisors or not even the money managers, the shareholders and the greed behind the shareholders.
I can tell you that the fees that are associated with 12B1 fees inside of your mutual funds Are literally how most of these companies are paying for these million dollar walk-in fees to bribe advisors to write their business, to write their company's business.
Not the pharmaceutical rep, but the financial representative of that particular is called a wholesaler.
The financial wholesaler could get paid just like a pharmaceutical rep.
Very similar to a pharmaceutical rep Hooking up with a doctor and giving him tickets to basketball, sideline tickets, boxing fights, you name it.
And so if you look into 12B1 fees and your mutual funds, it's called the distribution fees.
This is how they're legally able to bribe these advisors to promote these particular products.
And this is how they're able to pay for the Super Bowl ads.
This is how they're able to market and you actually pay for it.
So if that's you, give us a call.
If you have mutual funds, that's why I don't like mutual funds, are the 12B1 fees.
The unnecessary fees.
I would rather those fees go to somewhere prudent.
Like back in your pocket.
Or...
I'm going to come out with a whole documentary on all this stuff.
I don't want you guys to fall victim to this.
So we have the rigged against you.
We have the secure 2.0.
We have the social security crisis that is going to happen.
The forced RMDs.
The printing of money.
The FDIC, which is a joke.
The CBDC, which the federal government can't even control Bitcoin.
So what do they do?
They make their own cryptocurrency system and blockchain.
I think your money is going to be safe, in my opinion.
I think your cash is going to be safe.
I really feel that you should not have money in a bank more than a year worth of expenses.
If you're a business owner, maybe two years worth of payroll, anything else, contact us.
We want to buy precious metals for the remainder.
Follow our covenant process.
Like I said, I'm the weatherman here.
I'm going to tell you a storm's coming.
I can't prevent it, but I can tell you how to survive.
And that's all I'm trying to do here.
And our covenant approach is very simple.
We're going to have anywhere from 15 to 20 to maybe even 30 if you're more bullish on precious metals.
In precious metals, a third into a cash Insurance on your cash contract.
A high growth.
I'm talking 7% to 12% annually long term is what we can get.
And then the other third into the market.
Manage with a bunch of day traders that can literally get in and out of the market.
Time the market.
Get out of the COVIDs and the financial disasters of the world.
And get back in when the market starts to rise.
When there is a conservative movement back in the office.
But right now...
We're very, very defensive right now.
Right now, we have a solution.
For those of you that do not want to invest in the banks, which I don't recommend having more than a year worth of expenses, we can get 4.5%.
I can't say the word guaranteed, but 4.5% of what it's been averaging, and it's 100% liquid.
You put a million bucks in, you can take a million bucks out the next day.
Granted, there is some little bit of interest rate risk, but the standard deviation is 2.
How sick is that, man?
I mean, you're like a rock star.
You're literally keeping up with inflation, not losing money, and you can pull out of it whenever you want.
Then, when the market gets better, time to rock on.
But we want to make sure that it's prudent.
We want to make sure that we have a ducks in order.
The covenant process, metals, cash, value, insurance on your money, and obviously money in a managed fund that can generate a very decent interest.
Inflation is going to be over 5%.
So you need to be able to keep up with inflation.
Now, as inflation cools, so as the interest rates go higher and higher, there's going to be like a rubber band effect, just like how inflation shot up.
Now we're going on the ride down.
And so when inflation goes down, the prices tend to go back up in the market.
So if the inflation goes down, you're going to see prices come back up in the equity markets.
So they're saying that there might be Like the liberal media is saying that there might be a rally in a market and we're not really in a recession.
Believe what you want to believe.
We all know what the real problem is.
So we have the FDIC and we spoke about the FDIC. The FDIC, if there's over $250,000 in your bank, they can simply take it out.
Don't believe me?
Call your bank and pull up a service, what's called a service agreement.
Something that you had to sign and agree to in order for the bank to open up an account with you.
And basically, a large cash withdrawal, I promise you.
If you got over $100,000 in a bank, call them.
Say, I'd like to liquidate my $100,000.
You have to call and reserve your own money, by the way.
Call them, just to test them.
And they will, I mean, I promise you, I promise you, they're going to say, well, we don't have it, and we need it roughly 20, 40, 40 dollars.
Guys, they were going to lent it five times sideways.
So this whole thing is rigged against you.
Do you want me to talk about ESGs?
Oh my god, the list goes on, man.
Like, I'm tired.
I'm tired.
I worked the whole day, and I'm doing this podcast just to keep content alive.
Secure Act, Social Security Crisis, Force RMDs, the FDIC, the CBDC, the bribery with these investments, ESG. Ron DeSantis came out and said Florida's going to lead the pack.
So the problem with ESG is they're trying to make it all...
What was that dumb term that these idiots use?
Democratic Socialism?
Like I had people telling me that democratic socialism is different from socialism.
Tell a Cuban refugee that, or a Venezuelano refugee.
See how they feel about that.
They don't even ever want to hear the word socialism.
Their family literally almost died because of socialism.
And to say democratic socialism is different...
That's a joke.
That's a joke.
ESG, Environmental Science Government.
So now, from my experience as a small little peanut in the industry, you've seen the bribery, the walk-in fees through the 12B1 fees.
You've seen that.
Imagine what's going on with the Environmental Science Government investments.
These investments are in bed with Washington.
And you have people like AOC that would love to have solar panels and fartless cows and the Green New Deal and all this stuff and all these liberals running around with no brain destroying our country, giving away our GDP to everyone else.
The ESG is here.
And so they want the ESG because at the end of the day, it's funding China.
It's funding China.
They're going to be in our environment.
It's going to be in our science.
They're going to be in our government.
The ESG is terrible.
If you want to do good, I am literally a huge giver of my church.
I tithe.
I sing and do praise and worship at my church as a leader of my church.
I am a huge giver.
I give every time I go to a third world country to vacation or whatever country.
I always try to find the poorest town.
I'm known to buy shoes for the kids in the villages because it tears my heart to see them that they don't even have shoes to run around in.
We got to be salt and light in the earth, guys.
There is bribery with the ESGs.
There will be.
That's the only way it can possibly come together.
I don't have any hard proof, but I'm sure it will not be very hard to find based on my experiences and what I know.
So, this is really what's going down, is the legal bribery.
The legal bribery is a real deal.
And this is why I labeled this podcast rigged against you.
I know the storms are out there.
I know the inoculations are out there.
But you gotta do the covenant.
Have a little bit in precious metals.
Have a little bit...
In actual the stock market, through money managers, have a little bit in insurance contracts.
This is how you beat the system.
And there's nothing wrong with cash in your pocketbook.
There's nothing wrong with cash in your gun safe.
You may lose money to inflation, but guess what?
What do they want to do?
They want to control you.
They want to trace you.
As you guys remember, I talked about transportation as a service.
You're going to need a wallet, a digital currency, to have a robot come pick you up.
Uber, if they don't morph, Uber will be gone.
Because there will be no need for Uber when all you've got to pay is $200 or $300 for a self...
A self-driving subscription car that can take you anywhere you want.
But you're going to need that digital coin.
You're going to need that digital crypto to ignite the steering wheel or ignite the subscription because they're going to trace us that way.
And it doesn't stop there.
They're talking about boats.
They're talking about airplanes.
They're talking about transportation all in general through the blockchain.
That's what's coming down the pipe.
So I have a 1999 Cobra Mustang.
It was my college car.
It's red with tan.
It's pretty rare, but it's all beat up to heck and back.
Anyways, I'm going to restore it, and I give it to my son when he turns 18.
He's 10 years old now.
So eight more years will come by really quick.
And then he goes, pops.
I don't know if I want the Mustang because everything's going electrical.
He's only 10 and he's saying this.
And he says, I don't want a Tesla.
They're ugly and it's for girls.
He says, for girls.
I think he used another word.
He goes, I don't want a Tesla, Pops.
I don't want a Tesla.
I want a muscle car.
I want a big engine.
And obviously, I love cars and I love big motors, and he probably gets that from me, but how sad is that?
How sad is that?
I wanted to cry when I heard that.
Because I remember just watching my dad growing up.
My dad was a blue-collar worker.
And he would just spend a lot of late evenings in the garage just fixing our cars, fixing the neighbors' cars, fixing cars from women in church that their cars broke down.
And When he would spend a few hours fixing the motor, to hear that crank and that sound, it was just such a sweet victory.
Like, my son will never ever be able to experience that.
A, because I'm not handy like that.
And B, you don't get that with an electronic vehicle.
But he was literally concerned.
He's like, Pops, there's not going to be any gas stations to fill the Cobra.
Everything's electrical and digital.
And he could be right.
He could be right.
So maybe he's a predictor and not me.
But all in all, guys, we just got to follow the covenant, have our money diversified.
Even in our different buckets, we have diversifications within those buckets.
