Financial Bombshell: Epstein Distraction vs. Real Economic Collapse
Financial Bombshell: Epstein Distraction vs. Real Economic Collapse exposes how JP Morgan and banking cartels allegedly suppress silver prices—from $121 to $68–$74 in days—while $48.1T in U.S. retirement accounts face confiscation risks, despite Dodd-Frank’s hidden fees. The dollar’s 9% drop (DXY at 96–97) and $3.8B sent to Israel in early 2026 distract from systemic collapse, as the speaker promotes Green Money Solutions—non-qualified accounts tied to life insurance, exempt from seizures or CBDCs—to grow wealth tax-free, like converting a $500K IRA into a $4M Roth equivalent. FDIC banks hold just 0.74% reserves, while AI-driven strategies offer 21% NASDAQ returns, urging listeners to abandon "high-risk gambling" for asset protection before the next financial crisis. [Automatically generated summary]
Got to catch you up because while the entire world has been glued to their screens obsessing over the latest Epstein file dump, you know, those three and a half million pages that the DOJ just dropped full of elite pedo connections, redacted names, redacted videos, redacted images, ties to powerful creeps like Bill Gates and European politicians.
And in the meantime, the real financial bombshells are getting completely buried.
This is the mainstream media doing what they do best, distracting with salacious garbage to hide the economic collapse that they themselves are engineering.
First off, the jobs numbers.
That scam just got exposed in the biggest way since 2008.
The BLS admitted that they overstated 2025 payrolls.
Get this, by a massive 862,000 jobs.
That's down from an initial claim of 584,000 added to just 181,000, meaning that the average monthly growth was a pathetic 15,000 instead of 50,000.
That's not a strong labor market.
What that is, is a fabricated illusion propped up by government bureaucrats and healthcare sector padding.
The economy actually contracted in four months last year, and this revision is the largest in over a decade.
So they lied about this robust recovery to keep the sheep calm, but now the truth is out, and it screams recession incoming, especially with the Fed possibly handing the keys to someone like Kevin Warsh, who might actually challenge the status quo.
And then there's the silver debacle.
That should have everyone's attention.
Silver skyrocketed to a record high at around $121 in late January, up massively, by the way, from last year.
That was driven by supply shortages.
We've covered this.
There was an increase in industrial demand.
And then bam, just like Carlos Cortez told us, it crashed over 30 to 40% in days with a single day drops of 26 to 38 percent.
Well, that wiped out leverage retail traders and billions in value.
And this obviously wasn't organic.
All of this, as Carlos was saying in the Money Minute, reeks of manipulation by the same banking cartels, JP Morgan and their ilk, who have rigged precious metals forever to protect their fiat Ponzi scheme.
Volatility is now hitting levels that we haven't seen in 50 years.
And while the media ignores it, it just exposes how they suppress real money.
They suppress real money like silver to hide dollar weakness.
Long-term deficits could actually push it higher, but the engineered squeezes are designed to flush out the little guys.
And speaking of the dollar, forget the strengthening narrative.
The DXY is hovering around 96 to 97 right now, down over 2% this month, 9% over the past year, hitting multi-year lows.
So, no, it's not surging.
It's eroding as rate cut expectations and massive debt and fiscal nightmares weigh it down.
Forecasts see it drifting lower to the low 90s by year end, and this isn't strength.
This is fragility.
It's boosting gold and silver, and the real safe havens are there.
The elites need a weak dollar for their globalist games.
But you know what?
They bury that story while they hype the Epstein distractions every single time.
On stocks, well, the S ⁇ P kicked off 2026 strong, up about 1.5%.
Flirting with 7,000 with rotation of overvalued tech into value in smaller caps, but the Fed held rates steady.
Maybe Powell's last dance before a new chair.
But geopolitical risks, tariffs, policy shifts, all of this brewing volatility that's getting zero coverage needs to be covered.
So that's why we're doing this.
Analysts, by the way, is still predicting 12% gains this year on earnings and easing.
But you know what?
Elevated valuations?
Scream caution, especially when the real economy is rotting underneath.
And don't sleep on Japan's brewing meltdown.
Whispers of banking cracks under yen volatility with the U.S. potentially on the hook for a taxpayer bailout in the shadows.
This is exactly the kind of contagion that could ripple globally, propping the dollar short term as a haven, but then exposing the whole rigged system.
Yet we have crickets in the headlines because Epstein's elite network with all of its Zionist ties and Mossad whispers is the perfect smokescreen.
So we're going to get into this.
We've got Carlos Cortez here with us for Stew Peters Financial.
You know, while they flood us with Epstein filth to protect these powerful elites, many with Jewish connections, by the way, running the media, finance, government, the real theft is happening in plain sight with these manipulated markets and fake data, suppressed metals, and the dollar is on life support.
But you're saying, hey, it's time to wake up because as we're seeing the retracement in silver, what does that mean for the dollar?
It typically means the dollar is going to strengthen.
What say you?
Yeah, they have an inverse relationship.
And so as the Bolivian mountains are gutted with silver and everything with an on and off switch has the need for silver.
And like you say eloquently many times, every single, every single missile needs about 40,000 ounces of silver.
It's it's the demand is there.
And what we're seeing, Stu, is that there's a huge discrepancy on physical value of silver versus paper value of silver.
And as this pant plays out, we're going to see a lot of volatility because the banks love manipulation.
And there's plenty of articles out there.
Back in the early 90s, JP Morgan got screwed or they screwed over the major population on spoofing.
Got to be kidding me.
We never guessed that.
Shocker, right?
Yeah.
It's all public information.
You can just do a search, internet search on spoofing, big banks.
And just recently in 2020, JP Morgan had a $930 million settlement that just paid out during COVID times, all the spoofing they did with the gold prices back then.
Speaking of COVID, we also have a gold-silver ratio that people always call our office, which we appreciate and we welcome all the calls.
They always ask me, when's a good time to buy silver?
And obviously, when I was $17, $18, that would have been ideal.
But if you don't know when to buy silver, always look at the gold slash silver ratio.
And all you do is you take the price of gold and you take the price of silver and you divide it and it creates a number.
If it's over 60, this is a good time.
Actually, if it's over 80, sorry, that would mean that gold is more expensive than silver.
And that would be to your benefit.
If it's lower than 40, it will be to your detriment to purchase silver.
And what this actually does, it takes all the bro investor noise.
It takes all the hype.
It takes all the, you know, the paid, the paid fake actors that are just acting on promoting, you know, the, I don't want to say the company's name, but you know who these companies are.
I'm William Devane.
There you go.
The guys that advertise their precious metals on Fox Business or even some highly paid off podcaster networks, typically they're conservative networks.
And you'll see these precious metals dealers just really, really pushing the narrative with them.
Call them and see how much they charge.
Call them and send me their docu sign.
Call them and send me their paperwork.
And I'll show you exactly how they're making a killing off of you.
Typically, they charge 25 to 35% when you buy it and 25 to 30% when you sell it, if you can sell it.
But imagine it, silver crashed to $68.
Like I predicted, and I got laughed at.
And I said, I could care less about your feelings because this is the truth.
And, you know, Jesus wasn't a positive thinker.
Jesus wasn't a negative thinker.
Jesus was a truth teller.
The truth.
He was the truth.
He is the truth.
Yep.
He is a truth still to this day.
And he got persecuted.
So we don't need to try to be perfect.
We're all covered by his grace.
Amen.
However, silver, I want to kind of talk about two major points on this segment is that we'll talk about the 401k, how it's meant not to make you rich, but also silver is also being suppressed at an all-time high.
What I love about silver is that it's right now it's freely traded, supposedly.
But once it is truly freely traded and the banks are not, the global banks or the central banks are not buying the gold and the precious metals to back their weak fiat currency.
2030 Silver Suppression00:11:45
You will see if you took all that out, you will see the truth of the dollar.
Now, the dollar has been coming down.
And I think I've sent you accidentally the same chart over and over again, Stu.
That's fine because what we're going to do, I kind of got a structure here.
Okay, we'll stick to it.
A lot of people, so I want to get into the objective stuff.
I want to get into the charts.
But first of all, I think what we should do is address what our audience might be seeing out there.
So let's go with the headlines and let's go with what's being pumped into, you know, the digestion system of, you know, the digestive system of our audience and the propaganda that's out there.
Let's just talk about the headlines because people get worked up over this kind of stuff.
This is from the National Institute on Retirement Security and the headline, 401ks substantially more costly than pensions.
So this is a press release and this goes over this warning about the cost of 401ks.
So in a nutshell, so that we don't just have to read through this, in a nutshell, just kind of explain to our audience what that headline means and what they're explaining in the fine print throughout the article.
And people should go get this.
The National Institute on Retirement Security and the press release is that 401ks are substantially more costly than pensions.
So go through this with us and talk about the panic that this might create.
Yeah, so 401ks in a 2008 era.
What's interesting is I worked for a financial advisory firm in 2008 called a Merrim.
Sorry, America.
I call it American.
And it felt like I was a part of a Scientology cult.
They had a room where they taught you how to think.
It was bad.
And it was a red chair.
And Dennis Hopper was a spokesman at that time.
If you remember those commercials with the Red Chair, that was a Merrime.
Anyways, I started, they bought out my firm that I started with.
And what they actually taught us was that 401ks were out of compliance.
And basically, they taught us how to basically take people's 401ks and put it into their proprietary products.
Half of that was manipulative.
The other half was the truth.
And the truth is, Stu, is that the reason why this article says that it could be more costly is because you don't know the fees in your 401k.
So when the Dodd-Frank Act came out in 2010 after the TARP, the toxic asset relief program in 2008, Congress got all together and they said, you know, even people in the financial professionals didn't know the stock market was going down.
They had nobody to call.
If our financial professionals with 401ks lost money in 2008, what is a doctor?
What is a pipe fitter?
What is a dentist that has a 401k?
How are they going to manage it?
And so what they came out with was the Dodd-Frank Act.
That if you're a W-2 employer or employee, as an employer, you're supposed to give financial education to your employees as a part of the 401k Department of Labor Fiduciary Act that they came out with.
So many laws came out.
But what you need to understand is in those laws, created more compliance, created more regulation, created more room for fees.
And at the end of the day, you get a prospectus of all these mutual funds, which there's about 100 mutual funds in a 401k.
How in the hell did they get on that platform at your Johnny Hancock 401k or your Empower Network 401k or your Fidelity 401k?
How did that particular mutual fund get on that chassis?
And do you know when you put money in a 401k, you're paying money to the mutual fund manager?
By the way, most 401k providers have a crap ton of 401ks because that's all it is.
It's just a vomit cesspool of 401ks.
They don't manage your money for free.
So now you have a mutual fund operation expense.
You have an investment expense.
Also, you have a custodial admin.
All these fees, guys, I'm telling you, back in the day, they were over 4.5% in fees.
So you take that with the 08s, the 01s of the world.
Now you have no downside protection.
You see, a pension allows you to have a guaranteed income for life.
You could work 30, 40 years, you would get a golden watch, and you would get a retirement party, and they would give you a pension.
Mom and dad had that.
If I had a room full of 50 retirees and I said, hey guys, raise your hand if you know what a pension is.
All of them would raise their hands.
All right, keep your hands up if you have one.
90% of those people would drop their hands because they traded the pensions for a 401k and a silver watch, not a gold watch, when you retired after 30 years.
So unfortunately, the 401k is designed to make you poor because when you pull that sucker out and you take welfare, also known as social security, and they limit you on how much you could make, which is another scam.
We can talk about another SPF.
That's a whole nother hour segment.
No shortage of scams.
Yep.
So the government has literally created and formulated a way to steal money from your 401k, also known as an IRA.
And if you contact my office, I have some amazing, I'm not going to disclose it on SPF, but I have some amazing strategies that we can utilize right now.
Obviously, with our 29% bonus on our green money side, we can use that to pay the taxes on your IRA so that you can pull money from a Roth IRA.
And it doesn't count towards the calculation and the penalties of your social security.
So, when you are 66 and you got to go on, you know, welfare, also known as social security, um, because that's how they view you as all the income from your 401k and all your traditional IRAs now hit another different bracket that you got to pay a penalty if you go over a certain amount called an earnings test.
We'll talk about earnings tests here in the future, but they actually limit you if you take social security earlier than what you are allocated or told to by birth.
Um, and if you take it afterwards, there's still a penalty, it's just not as high on the earnings test.
So, there's a whole nother subject there.
But, yes, the 401k is designed to trick and manipulate you.
You know, when you get a job, your mom and dad, possibly not yours, but you know, the average American would say, get a job, get married, get the house, get the white picket fence, invest in your 401k.
You go in day one, you're happy with your cute little lunch box and stand or thermos, and you go into work at your own desk, you got the little name placard, you're feeling important, shoulders are rolled back, head held high, you're poofing your chest out a little bit.
I'm gonna make it all the way to the top at this company.
Yep, and Miss Sandy was like, You know, I'm really proud of you.
Your parents may be proud of you.
You need to start your 401k.
Here's your packet.
And I'd recommend that you by the way, this is your first job at McDonald's.
We're talking about here.
Yeah, I recommend.
I'll work my way up to manager.
I'm gonna work real hard.
I'm gonna get off of this fry line.
I'm gonna work real hard, and then I'm gonna rob this motherboard.
Yeah, I recommend that.
And she says, I recommend you invest in the 401k to the match.
It's 5%, and you get a free 5%.
Well, great.
You put your match in and it's 5%.
And guess what, Stu?
You don't know how much taxation that that nest egg is going to grow to.
You don't even know how long that money is going to last.
But guess who does?
Guess who does?
So I like to say Satan is in it for the long term.
He can feed you a little bit of lies early.
That's right.
Just wait on you and wait on you and wait on you.
Come on.
Come on.
It's satanic.
He's in it for the long game, but so is the government.
They know that if they give you a free break here and there, free release, free break.
Oh, yeah, tax reduction.
Absolutely.
Tax deduction.
Yeah.
It's always the carrot.
It's always dangled out there in front of you.
And literally, you'll have millions of dollars in a 401k and it's fake because you own literally none of it.
None of it.
And they could take it.
And by the way, if you start pulling it out, I mean, 50% of it's the government's anyways.
If you don't lose it, if you stay aggressive and said it, forget it.
Listen to the Mario Buateromos of the world and you buy this and think you never have to do anything in the world.
Oh, I've been saving silver and precious metals my whole life.
Well, good luck trying to retire and let me know how long it's going to last you.
I believe precious metals will go high, but you're dumb if you think it's always, always going to go up.
So this is the New York Post in the business section, this article written by Ariel Zilber.
Junk IRA is set to drain $43 billion from Americans' nest eggs by 2030.
That 2030 number just keeps on coming up.
$43 billion is going to be drained from Americans' nest eggs.
That doesn't sound great.
That doesn't sound like the robust economy that I have been hearing about.
It's the uncontrollable inflation.
It's the stealth tax.
It's the tax that people don't see.
I mean, look, I don't really like talking about the Jews and Israel and Taiwan and Ukraine.
How do you avoid it?
It's connected to everything.
Yeah.
The only thing I care about is: is your heart right with Jesus?
And is America okay?
If it's outside of that, I could get it's all noise to me.
It's all noise because we know how this story ends.
We know who has a victory.
So, to me, it's like pointless.
But what I will say, I will say, is that you are responsible for your retirement.
You're responsible to be a man and provide for your family for the rest of your life.
If you have children and a spouse, God gave you that family to provide and protect them.
And one of the things that you have to understand is that setting and forgetting it is a lazy way.
And this is how you get hurt because you're responsible for the happiness of your home.
But more importantly, there is something coming, and it's a huge overhaul to track trace of control.
The 2030 agenda is a real deal, and we're just a few years from that.
I don't think it will exactly be 2030.
I think it's happening now.
Just 2030 is the target, but they've been CBDC and us, face recognition us, track trace to control us this whole decade and some.
So it's already here.
And what's going to happen is that they're just going to increase taxation.
Do you remember how many billions of dollars they sent during COVID stew?
I don't even have, I mean, you could probably uncensore it AI.
And it was an ungodly amount of money that they spent during COVID to stimulus to other stupid things like, you know, figuring out mice in Zimbabwe, figuring out how people think when they hear the word COVID.
Silver Price Manipulation00:15:11
Like it was just in godly amount.
Guess who's paying for the billions of dollars that have been spent during COVID?
Now, you're actually really low, really low.
Uncensored AI says the U.S. government spent over $6 trillion to stimulate the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yeah, I was being $6 trillion.
Well, they shut down your mom and pop businesses.
They shut down your favorite bistro bar, pub, restaurants, and they're closed permanently.
Yeah.
And then they took your tax dollars to stimulate.
Yeah, but by stimulate, what they mean is the pockets of the elites that are probably on the Epstein list.
That's who they were stimulating.
Man, I didn't know it was in the trillions.
I thought it was in billions.
$6 trillion, according to uncensored.ai.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know that.
Let's talk silver manipulation.
There's a silver price manipulation article that I have here.
It's not letting me put it up on the screen.
I don't know why.
It won't even completely load here, but this is from Kit Gun News.
And basically, I'm just going to read like the first paragraph here.
Many precious metals investors have heard about silver manipulation or suspected it, but few fully understand how it works or can clearly explain it.
Carlos can.
Many also intuitively sense that silver's price is artificially low and should be much higher, but struggle to identify what or who is keeping it suppressed.
We don't struggle with that.
I have committed myself to studying silver price manipulation, documenting the evidence, educating others, blah, blah, blah.
This is the writer of this article.
Simply put, the goal of silver price manipulation is to keep silver's price artificially low, as well as present it from breaking above key technical levels that could trigger a full-blown bull market.
So I think that basically is where I kind of want to leave it to you to explain the manipulation of silver and the highs and the lows.
There's a parameter, there's a box that has been set.
And there are money makers, there's movers and shakers.
There are basically market makers that are putting all of this together to keep this thing within those parameters.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
So there's a lot of timing efforts on this.
So there's a huge, like, there's a huge, massive shift.
Like, I trade, I've been trading silver almost every morning, and I'll see it at night.
The commodities market is open 23 hours a day.
It's closed for one hour.
But I can see around seven, eight o'clock Eastern, what happens to is that just this morning alone, I'm sorry, yesterday morning alone, you see that silver had all the traffic lights.
It had everything popping up.
And as soon as 9.30 hits, the Commodities New York or the Chicago Board of Exchange opens up, you just see this massive sell candle and it just switches and it jigsaws like crazy.
And the only thing, the only way that would ever happen is pure, pure manipulation.
So this is silver.
And what's interesting about this chart is that you see how it just skyrocketed and it's been going down and going down.
I get a buy signal flag.
It's for option trading.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to go up, but it did go up just a hair and then it just slammed right back down.
And the only way that happens if you have the institutions just buying, buying, buying puts on the market.
And so there is this, the box that you're referring to was a resistance line.
And right now, I believe Jesse Colombo, who was gracious enough to write this awesome article, is that there is a resistance anywhere $32 to $33 on the support level.
But on the high side, I would add that a key level would be around $121 is where it touched last time before it came crashing down.
So that's going to be our ceiling, so to speak.
So as long as it stays between $64 and $121, those will be our support and our resistance levels.
They can play ball all day, every day within that massive of a spread.
Silver right now is trading this week.
It was trading at, well, it went from 84 literally to 74 on Thursday.
And I think it could go down to $68 again, probably in the next few days.
And then it's going to come screaming right back up.
And the banks, that's what they want.
This is what these investment banks want.
They want the volatility.
They want to shake all the little guys out.
They don't want you to have this.
They want you to panic sell and create more supply.
They don't have access to this right now.
If you go to Asia, the physical, the physical is over $163 an ounce.
They don't have access to silver right now.
It's incredible.
So the banks are literally going to be manipulating so much.
There's no way I can show up on a trading session and have green traffic lights clear to buy, and all of a sudden it just whipsaws to the negative side as soon as the bell rings.
There's just no way other than the market makers putting pressure on the little guy.
And that's what we're seeing here.
You sent me this chart, I think, several times, didn't you?
The silver chart.
Yeah, I think I sent it accidentally.
Yeah, okay.
I'm just trying to figure this out.
Okay, so this directly correlates to the U.S. dollar.
And again, normally they have this inverse relationship.
So getting away from the headlines and just getting into the objective, the charts here.
Let's just go through this.
What are you seeing here on the U.S. dollar futures?
Yes.
So when a dollar pumps up, you will see silver come down.
So guess what?
If they can't control silver, the true, well, they're going to suppress it.
This is a classic inverse relationship.
So all they got to do is just pump up the dollar.
And how easy is that?
They raise interest rates.
They lower interest rates.
They manipulate it.
They pause interest rates.
They play that game.
They increase the rates so the treasuries could get more attractive and bring in more money.
There are so many ways that you can manipulate the dollar.
And once they manipulate the dollar, which you know darn well, they can manipulate the dollar.
Silver gets manipulated too.
You pump up the dollar, the price of silver goes down.
Guess what?
We have more attract trace of control.
All we got to do is pump up the dollar.
Just pause the rates, guys.
So, I mean, but even in this unfair playing field, these people play by a certain set of rules and there's markers that you can see when you know when the manipulation is coming.
So you can play the game.
Yes.
Yes, I can play the game.
I see what the banks are doing.
Also, also, I'm pretty well experienced with all this from a trading standpoint.
Most financial advisors, they only practice in the consulting realm, which there's plenty of amazing guys out there that mean well.
They're just handcuffed to the banks.
But less than 1% of financial advisors actually trade and actually do money management.
And this is one of my passions.
You see, part of me being a poor Spanish kid was I didn't have money.
My parents didn't have money.
I was always fascinated about trading, though.
And one guy told me, said, hey, study money, teach people how to make money and protect their money.
And then you'll get money one day.
And then you could learn a trade one day.
Well, that's me.
That's where I'm at right now.
I've never lost my passion for trading.
But what I will say is that I got real good at retirement planning that I never left it.
And I love both of them equally.
And I will say, simply put, it's that you just got to be careful out there.
Like if you have a stack, at what time are you going to start selling?
Like you have to consider let's, and it goes back to that first article, the 401k.
They're basically saying the pension was the GOAT.
The greatest of all time retirement account was a pension.
Well, guess what?
We still can get a pension on a private way and we have green money solutions.
So save your money, build your nest egg, whether it's in precious metals or not.
Get out when you can.
Look at the gold-silver ratio.
If it's lower than 40, then obviously give us a call.
You need to sell a good portion of it.
At what point in your retirement do you say, I'm tired of the moving target.
I need a stable income for the rest of my life.
That's when you and I need to have a conversation.
Or maybe you're younger, you don't trust that there's going to be social security, then you and I align alike.
Then give us a call because now you need to privatize your own retirement because there probably isn't going to be social security.
You said there's $6 trillion that got spent just in COVID alone.
Not even the crap that we just had the past two years.
You probably know without even looking it up how much we sent to Israel, Taiwan, and freaking, what was it, Japan?
There was another one.
Ukraine.
Ukraine.
Like collectively in the past three years.
Guess what, Stu?
All that is coming from the American taxpayer.
Well, how?
It's called a non, it's called a qualified retirement account.
You qualify for benefits right now, taxation-wise, but now you're going to qualify for the gauntlet that's about to hit you in the ass.
And that is, you don't know what the taxation is going to be on your qualified retirement accounts.
I'm talking about SEP IRAs.
I'm talking about 401ks, traditional IRAs, simple IRAs, every single IRA you can think of that is qualified.
The government freaking owns it, and they own exactly how much you got to pull out.
And if you don't, you're going to die and your family is going to pay a crazy taxation bill.
Does that sound like Track Trace is controlled to you?
If not, I don't know what it is.
It's like going to the car dealer and you're seeing Uncle Tony, and Uncle Tony says, Yo, just take the car, okay?
Pay me whenever you want.
Are you really going to take the car from Uncle Tony?
Well, if you have a 401k, you just took the car from Uncle Tony because you don't even know the terms.
You don't even know.
The answer is $3.8 billion so far in 2026 to Israel.
It's February.
And guess what?
$3.8 billion has been sent to Israel.
Are we about tired of this shit yet?
Are we about tired of that?
Are we about done with that?
I don't even know the number anymore.
Go ahead and ask it.
How much money is in qualified retirement plans right now?
I'm going to guess $37 trillion.
I could be way off.
Uncensored.ai, it's thinking.
As of the latest available data from the investment company Institute, the ICI, for the third quarter of 2025, rendering September 30th, 2025, total U.S. retirement assets stood at $48.1 trillion.
Okay.
IRAs, $18.9 trillion.
Defined contribution plans, employer-sponsored, including 401ks, 403Bs, 457s, and TSP, $13.9 trillion.
We've talked about that number before because that $13.9 trillion is now at risk after Trump's executive order August 12th of 25, which gives private equity access to that.
Government DB plans, federal, state, and local pensions, $9.5 trillion.
Private sector, $3.1 trillion.
And annuity reserves outside of retirement accounts, $2.6 trillion.
It all adds up to $48.1 trillion total, which was a 4.5% increase from the end of Q2 2025.
So $48 trillion.
Let's just be conservative and let's just say the government now controls.
Let's just say we pay a 35% tax, maybe not 50% tax.
That is $16.8 trillion that they can just take at 35%.
Imagine when it's 50%.
This is the problem that we have right now.
This is why they keep on sending billions to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, or whoever is on Epstein lists or whatever hidden agenda is there.
You guys get the picture.
When you have a qualified account, you are qualified with the government for them to tax you whenever they want.
You took the car from Uncle Tony.
And that's just it, man.
Like, I'm here to shed light in that.
I'm here to bring solutions to help restore your retirement so that you can have a successful retirement, not just by performance.
Everybody wants to talk about, oh, yeah, NVIDIA made 100% in the past two years and Bitcoin's done this and silver has done 150% in 2025.
If you're chasing returns, you are the return.
You will get returned.
Like, seriously, there's so many.
But I mean, obviously, everybody wants to build.
Everybody gets excited about going to the gambling table and winning.
Yeah.
Yep.
But the problem is most people don't realize that they're literally sitting down at the high-stakes gambling tables or sitting down at the blackjack table.
And guess who wins?
The house.
Yes.
Yes.
And we have to.
The house wins every time.
Okay, so let's talk solutions.
We have greenmoney solutions.com pulled up here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there's some really cool stuff going on right now.
Right now, option three should get it updated soon.
Basically, we're able to get 50% of the NASDAQ, which is AI-driven index for actually no costs at all.
So the NASDAQ did 21%.
Imagine getting 10.5% in a straight fixed account that never goes down in value.
Solutions for Cash Reserves00:02:48
Much better alternative than sticking your money in an FDIC-based bank that is a FedNow affiliate.
So if you have the FDIC bank account and think that you're safe, well, I question your acumen there because it is not as safe as you think.
They have reserves less than.
There's not going to be a member of this audience that thinks that an FDIC bank is a safe haven for their cash.
If they do, I don't even know, like pack it up, go home.
We're not doing our jobs because we have been warning about this for a really long time now.
Well, get your money.
If you can do it, get your, and everybody can.
That's the thing.
People are like, well, but the convenience.
Okay, yeah, but we're at war.
You understand that, right?
Like we are legitimately at war.
We are being attacked by a machine, a weapon of war that has been designed to kill you.
These people hate you.
You're not even a useless eater.
They just, they just, they just hate you.
They would just assume you be dead, especially us, because we are actively combating this system.
And I'm not just saying uses and Carlos and myself.
I'm saying uses and the whole lot of us.
They want us dead.
They want our kids dead because we're raising our children to understand these things.
We are a pain in their side.
We are the thorn in their side.
We're the snake in the bush.
We're the lion behind the, you know, the camouflage.
We're getting ready.
And they see that.
We're blowing the whistle and they want us dead.
The entire system has been designed to decapitate you financially, spiritually, in every way.
Yeah.
And so if we're at war and you're like, well, but the convenience, the convenience, look, I can't help you.
You know, I mean, it's like not trying to do something for your privacy.
We've had these conversations about phones.
You know, there's so many different things that you can do.
Yeah, but my kids.
Okay, well, you know what?
You're the father of your home.
You make that decision.
You know what, son?
I understand that.
I know that you want to Instagram.
I know that you want a Snapchat.
We're not going to do that.
I've decided in this household, we're not going to do that.
We're going to go in a different direction.
And someday, hopefully, maybe you will thank me.
You'll understand.
That's your job as the head of household.
That's your job as the man.
That's your job as the spiritual head.
That's the job of the fiscal head.
That's the job of the head of household.
You are the man of the house.
Don't give me this convenience stuff, guys.
You know, you can get your money out of the bank.
You could do that.
And you will thank yourself for making that decision.
You won't thank Carlos.
All glory to God Almighty, but you will be so thankful that you got your money out of the bank because it's coming.
It's absolutely coming.
Get Your Money Out00:10:05
And how is this different than keeping your money in the bank?
So, here's what I love about Green Money Solutions or any type of a privatized insured account.
In order for them to be in existence, they have to have dollar for dollar and cash reserves.
The second layer of protection is they must have a reinsurance company with dollar for dollar cash reserves.
A-rated carriers typically have anywhere from 97.5 cents to $1.10 of your money in a general account for reserves, where a B-rated carrier are still good.
They're going to have 85.5 cents to 93 cents typically to your dollar in reserves.
Whereas FDIC Bank, they only have 0.74% typically at A reserves to claim that they're FDIC.
So completely different.
And these are state chartered and they're not federally chartered.
I know that sounds different to many, but the state laws are more stringent than the federal laws in the financial world.
So, so yeah, it's a lot safer.
Get your money out of the bank.
Also, does your bank offer a bonus like 29% up front?
Yeah, I tell you what, you come make that deposit over here at JP.
You come make, you come in the city, come into Bank of America, Wells Fargo, your credit union, put your money in up to three years.
Every dollar will give you 29% bonus.
You ever heard that?
What about your 401k?
You know, when you sit down for your job and you're filling out your employment packet, you're signing up for that 401k you're all excited about.
Show me where there it says, hey, we're going to give you 29% up front.
And also, by the way, we're going to keep your money safe from all of the people that are trying to get their hands on it.
The government, the private equity firms, central banks, whoever's in business with the government, they want to take your money.
They all have their eyes on the prize.
The taxation and the criminal theft that happens by this government, it happens every day.
They can take your 401k.
They can take your money out of your bank.
They can't take this.
Explain how this is safe.
Yes, yes.
So all these green money solutions are typically with life insurance companies.
We're not buying life insurance here, but what we're doing is we're utilizing the non-qualified retirement accounts that are associated with life insurance companies because they're out of the jurisdictions of securities laws.
And most states can't take anything that's associated with your life.
Like in Texas, they can't take your wedding ring.
They can't take your car.
They can't take your home.
And they can't even take your IRAs.
So that's why a lot of people move to Texas because it was asset protection state.
Same with Nevada and pretty much same with Florida.
So now you have your money tied with a life insurance company.
You are breaking or not breaking, you are protecting and breaking the norm, I would say, but you are protecting your family's assets, your retirement from because of its classification.
It's held with a life insurance company.
So this is attached to your life, like your cars or your wedding rings.
You can't tokenize it.
There's like OJ Simpson.
I know I talked about it.
It can't be CBDC.
This can't be tokenized.
No.
No, it's attached to your life.
So it's pretty amazing.
OJ Simpson was a see you gloss over that, but this is something that we haven't talked about here before.
I mean, we've talked about how safe it is, but I didn't, yeah, I mean, specifics like that are important.
Yeah, anti-CBDC.
Look at O.J. Simpson.
He had green money accounts.
And, you know, if he killed his Nicole Brown, that's obviously we know he did, in our opinions, got away with it.
He lost in civil court.
He lost in civil court.
And he was, he had to pay millions to the Brown family.
They never were able to touch his money.
The Joker was making $50,000.
Right, wrong, or indifferent.
You know?
Yep.
I mean, not a huge fan of people who murder their wives, but yeah, I mean, it's just smart business.
Yeah.
These people probably tried everything that they could to get those millions of dollars from OJ Simpson, and they just kept hitting dead end after dead end after dead end because he was in green money accounts.
There you go.
Yep.
It's crazy.
Green money solutions are one of the three pillars of the color of money educational system and are investment vehicles such as annuities or other types of investment insurance that represent the secure side of investing.
When used, green money solutions allocates your investments into products that are considered safe and secure.
These products allow you to share in the games when the markets increase and protect you against market losses.
Now, if you are in a Cortez wealth management green money account, I can tell you that when the market is struggling, Cortez Wealth clients are earning.
So they're going the other way.
When they're strong, they're really earning.
But most of your clients are making money when everybody else is panicking.
Is that because of the diversification, because of their individual, like, how do you do that?
Is that all in this?
I mean, do you put all your eggs in this basket?
That's a great question.
So we use yellow money from a defensive growth standpoint.
We use green money from a defensive growth standpoint.
There's so many layers to not to get too technical, but our yellow money is our liquid accounts.
Typically, our brokerage are guys that trade the markets in and manipulations in your benefit.
Whereas our green money account is going to be meant for money that you want to put away for retirement.
Like $100,000 in 20 years should be anywhere $3 to $4 million in 20 years if you never touch it.
So the yellow money is going to be our short-term liquid, high growth, minimal fees, and basically moderate risk.
Generally, in yellow money, we can take half the risk of the actual stock market and keep up with the stock market returns.
So as we go into this AI-driven, revolutionary era that we're in right now, our portfolios will do well across the board on green money and as well as yellow money.
So to know those colors are important.
And that's why we do this exercise with every single client that calls.
And all of our reviews is really just going back to how much you have in yellow, if you still have money in red, or do you need to put more money in green?
Let's do that, actually.
So what are you going to want people to have prepared when they call you?
Yeah, so we're going to talk about what you know about yellow, red, and green, what they know from our podcast and from SPF and just our website.
We have a lot of content on the colors of money.
You can go to Rumble and just search color of money and you can see the whole presentation there.
Inside of green money, there's different strategies like the America First Retirement Plan.
This is where we do that Roth conversion of literally having insurance companies pay your taxes, converting your IRA over to a Roth or a tax-free account and not have to pay the taxes fully on it and save your principal.
A half a million dollar account is now worth $400,000.
But if you use some of our strategies, we can basically get 29%.
And your account is at 480, let's just say, and you're free and clear.
So 480 grows tax-free.
You don't have to worry.
Man, I was a fatty there.
You don't have to worry about.
I see that all the time when I look back at old stuff too.
Oh, man.
Jeez.
You know, before we knew, we didn't know.
But once you do, you don't have an excuse anymore.
That's right.
That's right.
So it's like, now it's time to just get ripped and jacked and strong and be fit, be a warrior.
I mean, again, we're at war.
Go ahead.
Amen.
So, no, there's just so much.
There's so much information.
It really depends on everybody's client situation.
You just have to give us a call because we need to know what your concerns are.
And I can tell you what your risks are, even the hidden risks that you don't see, the blind spots in your portfolio, because there's a lot of them.
And people are chasing returns and they don't need to be chasing returns.
They need to be talking about the what-ifs or not what-ifs, but the real problem that is coming like a freight train, and that is taxation.
Parking in the wrong parking spot in retirement is so deadly.
So we want to make sure that you're saving in the right parking spot and not in the wrong parking spot.
If you have a 401k, there's nothing wrong with that.
You just need a way to convert it to a tax-free bucket where the government doesn't have full control over you and your social security, also known as your welfare program, and your family.
And the only way you'll find out is just giving us a call and we can have a simple conversation.
