🚨 A COUP in Washington? What's Next w/ Charlie Kirk

[Music] ladies and gentlemen welcome to man in America I'm your host Seth HH housee so we're witnessing a massive shift in the political landscape in America spe specifically within the Democratic party where their candidate you know I'm sure you probably saw the debate you know the reaction of the media afterwards and we're seeing that everything's being thrown into disarray and turned upside down but the questions that I have are was it planned this way uh is there another candidate that they are waiting to put in is everyone going to Rally around Joe Biden and support him to still continue for this there just a lot of questions that I have so joining us today to help make sense of this is Charlie Kirk who I'm sure you're familiar with he is on the Forefront of especially within the campuses engaging more Americans and getting them involved with a good cause in America so folks please enjoy this interview with Charlie Kirk I'll tell you that he had a very tight time schedule so it's not a very long interview but I think it's a very heavy hitting and important interview so folks please enjoy Charlie Kirk it's good to have you on man thank you for being here today you appreciate it very much thank you so the word I see in your Twitter feed of today seems to be shift that you're seeing a shift happening with the leadership in the de Democratic party so you've got a lot of access to various people sources Intel and just a you know pretty good understanding of us politics what do you see happening can they manage to recover with Biden and put him back up on on the pedestal they had on before or are we going to see a pretty big change that could really affect things uh in the election this year it really depends uh when you ask me so as of right now i' say it's a 50-50 chance I say that because if you would have asked me two hours ago it looked like the forces were to implement camela Harris but Joe Biden is very very defiant I'll just tell you how this this is a very live ball it's a very live situation so whoever asks me this uh don't hold me to it based on the hour that I say it but as of right now it looks like a 50-50 shot and trench warfare of team camela versus Team Biden and uh Biden obviously had like the worst debate in American history this the new cycle has not slowed down it has accelerated and it looked like okay they were going to Rally behind Uncle Joe and then a series of things happened on Tuesday um I want to make sure I don't know when people are listening to it Tuesday July 2nd just so that I could say this historically on Tuesday July 2nd um Puck News ran with a story of leaked internal Democrat polling now when was the last time we saw any leaked internal Democrat anything they don't leak unless they have a very specific Mission and objective so that was weird then Pelosi comes out like an hour later on MSNBC says that Joe Biden should take a cognitive test and that ask the question is this episode or is a condition kurn comes out and says that we might have to do a mini primary Jamie Raskin says this is a live situation and it's changing by the hour Obama leaks via the Washington Post and New York Times saying that he's not happy with Joe Biden and that serious conversations need to happen the New York Times follows up with a story and the New York Times says um a close Aly of Jo Ally of Joe Biden says that Joe Biden knows that the goose is cooked and that he's contemplating a way out then Joe Biden does his all staff me meeting and and says let me say this as clearly as I can I am not dropping out I'm staying in so who knows what to make of that the betting markets think camela Harris is going to be the nominee looks like every powerful Democrat is trying to cut Biden loose but how um they're the party of democracy and their primaries said they want Joe Biden they went through it rather um unceremoniously without any sort of conflict and any sort of issue so it's a guess right now I say it's a 50-50 shot of who's going to be the nominee um but it's nice the last week to not have the conservative movement and our Maga movement be the center of attention it's it's the first time in like nine years it's a good point do you think that there's anything they can do to recover and still win and even with whatever cheating whatever illegal aliens voting you know whatever they're going they have planned anyway do you think that there's still any way forward with all of this happening whether it's Biden himself or camela or or someone else I what do you think their chances are after this yeah yes I of course there's a way they can recover it would require uh two simultaneous things it would require a Flawless campaign on their side and a very bad campaign on our side so both those things would have to happen so let's say that Biden Harris or whatever run a wonderful campaign from now to November I don't know if that would be enough it would require us to also run a very terrible campaign ises that makes sense it would have to also be um it would have to be down and up so we would have to lose a step they would have to gain to steps um look I still give us 5050 chance of winning the election even with this they have a superior apparatus they have a big machine um they are very worried they've obviously become um you know not favored but I am inherently constantly worried that they're going to do something sneaky and suspicious that's why we're doing what we're doing at turning point to register as many voters as we can to chase as many ballots as we can um so yeah I mean look we'll we'll see what happens in that regard but if they keep Joe here here's one of two options if they keep Joe it will be The Comeback Kid narrative and they'll try to reset it at August all Americans of a comeback story at the very heart of our democracy lies a principle we hold sacred Free Speech it's the Cornerstone that supports every freedom we cherish yet in today's digital age discussions about our wealth our rights and our future are being silenced or overshadowed in mainstream narratives leaving many feeling voiceless in conversations crucial to our financial Independence and security this is where wealth protection research steps in armed with a mission that's never been more critical wealth protection research is not a financial advisory firm

time to widen the scope of what we're told to hear the ideas The Establishment does not think you can handle and to take control of our financial Destinies so folks today text ideas to 76626 to claim your free copy just curious just get some feedback so that there's the perception that the youth is not going to say totally lost in America but we know that you know based on polls that there's an overwhelming support of Marxism and communist ideas you know we've seen the lgbtq shift but you're on the campuses regularly your your entire organization is in the trenches on the campuses is there any hope in the young people in America and if there is where is it coming from oh yeah of course there's hope um now if if they pull camela Harris maybe camela Harris Buddha judge ticket it'll be it'll be harder to win that demographic but when we visit these campuses we can't find rooms big enough to fit all the students that want to attend our campus events or our campus lectur uh there's a remarkable amount of optimism and hope uh that is happening right now and I I think that um you know young people want the three M they want to be able to have a mortgage they want to get married and they want to be able to mate and those three things are increasingly out of touch right now uh for the Next Generation uh housing is too expensive uh getting married is just culturally deemed untenable and it's harder than ever to have children it's too expensive um people don't think it's a good thing so I think that we present that to the Next Generation uh we can have a much a much better uh political environment for us there's no guarantees but all things being equal we are seeing um the beginnings of a right-wing correction or a right-wing Revolution with younger voters um young men especially young men are the most conservative they have been in 50 years really incredible incredible yeah and so it's uh it's it's definitely noteworthy yeah so right ring right-wing Revolution all right so this this is your new book which is interesting right-wing Revolution it's it's such a play in words and even the you know kind of the the your cover here it kind of beckons back to you know more communist um you Revolution posters but it's the right-wing Revolution so walk us through what this is is it kind of like burn down all the leftwing things and destroy everything that's left or you know walk us through what it is not quite but I am trying to channel that revolutionary energy especially uh this Independence uh day season look um the whole book is about action it's about what you can do to improve your life um to uh become a better citizen to become more personally Sovereign um and you know to get married to have children to act ethically to honor God in all of your actions uh and we make the case that without that kind of revolutionary Spirit we're not going to save the country uh the country is in a managed decline right now it's very very hard to witness very hard to watch but we don't have to accept decline a decline is a choice and the choice we are making is the shriveling and the disintegration of the United States of America and so in the book we detail what the threat is about 10% of the book is that and then active ways that we can save the country through political means through Community organizing through our campus Outreach um and we we've just seen a ton of success uh with this at Turning Point USA and turning point action there's a lot of personal stories in this book of um things we can do ways we can better organize um people can find the book at 45 books.com great thank you for that and so one question I have I want you going back to the debate and everything you surrounding that is if you look at you take a step back you look at the debate itself okay you know that the media they they're very well aware of you know Biden's condition they've been covering for for a very long time but if you look at the the timing of the debate and the timing of all the media immediately turning on him do you think that it was a setup do you think that it was something where they KN like they kind of wanted to public to see that the emperor has no close so they could then take a pivot uh potentially I think that they looked at this debate as one of two options either we're gonna rally behind Joe Biden because he's stronger than ever before and they were ready for either or or we're gonna dog pile on him and demand a replacement um and I think the media has a lot of pent up resentment towards Biden because they haven't received a lot of access to him they haven't been able to ask critical questions of him they've been carrying his water and he's a failed president and I think you saw all that kind of just come Unleashed I think a lot of members of the media they want to be treated like adults I mean they're obviously fake but they have really covered for this guy a lot they even uh wrote very embarrassing stories that Joe Biden's mental acuity is fine that he's sharper than ever and they got exposed and uh we've been calling them out relentlessly being like you guys have been lying to us you have been deceiving us you smeared us and you said it was cheap fakes um and so yes I think I don't know it might have been a setup by camel Harris um who told her told him this was a good idea remember this was Joe Biden who did this Joe Biden was the one who wanted to debate Donald Trump early Joe Biden was the one that called for a summer debate we would not be having any of this conversation if it wasn't for the summer debate at all now if they pulled Joe Biden does that mean that is that a harder candidate for us to defeat maybe but this is exposed to the corruption this is exposed um the cultish type behavior that is involved in the modern Democrat Party last question for you you got a time limit what is give us two things people can do if they want to help the efforts for the election get involved in whatever way it is what what are two things you'd say that okay here's exactly what you can do first thing is we need to register more voters it's super simple you could do that at TP action.com vote find people that do not vote or are not registered to vote at their current address and get them registered to vote the second thing is encourage those people once it becomes voting month and Chase those ballots uh get involved in ballot chasing in um the early voting period it's incredibly important election day is actually the last day of voting let me say that again election day is now the last day of voting we have 40 days of voting that we need to engage in as um conservatives we're going to be Paving the way on that at Turning Point action get your vote banked vote early get engaged get involved you can do that TP action.com great Charlie thanks for your time and you're very busy it's been great speaking to you take care man God bless thanks so much so the stock market has been great I'm sure you've been watching it it's you know reaching all-time highs every other week now now granted there's some weird stuff happening with Nvidia and the amount of money that's really focused in that one particular stock which is some cause for worry but overall everyone's excited about the stock market except for the hedge funds so let me pull up an arle that I'll be covering today in this interview so right here this is a an article from Zero Hedge just came out and it's getting out of Dodge hedge funds are selling and shorting stocks at the fastest Pace in two years so they sense something is coming what is it what could be coming what are the charts telling us what are the trends telling us uh how is this related to what's happening with Russia and the San over there and also a recent sanction has now caused a major shift in the banking in Russia as the Bank of China is now basically backing off of Russia because they're scared of the sanctions that the United States is now putting on countries that are working with Russia so it gets pretty complex but thankfully we've got my good friend Dr Kirk Elliot to help us understand these details so folks please enjoy the interview Kirk great to have you back on man thank you for being here with us today it's so great to be with you um you know it this time of year it's you know we celebrate our independence right and it's just uh you know I was thinking about this this week and and we all celebrate our independence from from England right July 4th 1776 and but to me as I was watching the debate I started to realize this Independence Day is n a oneandone thing that we celebrate literally the war for independence is a daily battle right it's this action verb it's this longterm process because you fall asleep for even couple of months right look what could happen look at the debate look at the rhetoric look at the nonsense that's spewing out look at the egregious attack on our freedoms and what you lose if you ever give up the fight for independence right and so I was just thinking it's like a lot of we just celebrate oh it's our independence day it's when we became a nation it it should be this is our independence day to keep our nation right it's like it's this ongoing thing that we do so anyways a little bit of a rabbit Trail but you know it's Fourth of July it's a good point because when you think of Fourth of July it's cookouts pool parties fireworks where I mean it it should be maybe more of a a you know you know dads and families and parents getting together and and War gaming where the country is at and and reflecting on what our independence mean and uh or means and what the founding fathers sacrificed to give us the independence and freedom that we have and how close it is so from being taken um which you know I guess you know like most shows that that you know we put out are I guess that theme right it's like okay let's take a hard look at where we're at folks and how to get out of this so of course as we we know actually even looking at the the debate and the discussion of inflation and and the economy obviously it was Central in the debate and I thought it was comical that they're saying that oh you know $100 of groceries is now $120 of groceries whereas in our last interview we had the one guy showing from Walmart that they went from $100 bucks to $400 so there's obviously a lot that you know people are really out of touch with uh in terms of what the media is saying versus the on the ground of of what the average person's doing and of course you know you have Biden painting a picture of a strong economy and everything but all the indicators are showing that it's not really the case and so the first article I want to jump in with you that you had sent me was this one from Zero Hedge you know getting out of Dodge HED hedge funds are selling and shorting stocks at the fastest Pace in two years so this seems kind of alarming but it's only the fastest Pace in 2 years it could mean different things but how do you make sense of this and keep in mind we're not going to be digging into all these different graphs I think it's going to be way over my head and and probably a lot of the audience's head but help us understand what's the significance of this so first of all you say Okay highest rate in two years so you and I were talking it's like well what happened two years ago you know why was it accelerated then it was covid right one of the worst economies the nation has ever seen and companies these hedge funds were dumping stocks like nobody's business because why do you sell something or actually let's take the reverse why do you keep something why do you invest in something well because you expect company a whatever it is is you're going to invest in it because you know that down the road they've got great management the economy is booming it's going to grow and I want to grow my retirement right so if you're selling the contrary is true you're not expecting things to grow you're not expecting it to do well so it's human nature you pull back the reins right you I'm just gonna sit in cash and sit on the sideline I don't want to lose moving forward because I expect it's going to come down so what is this what is this accelerated selling and shorting say says they don't believe Biden's nonsense during the debate they don't believe it if they did if they believe that he's got the strongest economy of any president that that oh he inherited inflation from Trump for crying out loud or no we've got strong employment and and wages are going up when actually the opposite is all true and then you've got stupid Jake Tapper right the one of the moderators who with a straight face like he was talking about science said inflation's only gone up 20% since Biden became president three and a half years ago it's like what I mean you referenced it that video right of that kid it's it was up 185% and let's just say that that kid had some item in his shopping cart that was was heavily weighted and that went up a ton well okay let's just take half of that growth let's just say it's 90% I mean good grief even if it's 50% wrong it's still close to 100% over a three and a half year span right so so here's where these hedge fund managers are looking at the reality of the world what do hedge fund managers look at they look at the book value of companies they look at the revenue of companies they look at their expenses they look at is this going to be a good company for us to invest in in our hedge fund and they're seeing inflationary pressures sales coming down cost of goods going up I mean and so they're saying ah it's time to just lock in profits let's get out of Dodge right and so to me that's a that's actually pretty good leading economic indicator that's not really an economic indicator at all you know what are the hedge fund managers doing but but they're managing billions of dollars in each one of these hedge funds they're not stupid people right it's like but they're getting out they're selling they they don't want to come down because they're seeing that the economy isn't robust and I mean that's how I you know without looking at all the fancy technical charts it's just it's like reading Chinese to a lot of people and so we don't need to go into the technicals of it but that's kind of the nuts and bolts of why they did what they did and why they're probably going to continue doing what they're doing it's because the economy isn't strong right now well if you look at the Dow this is a chart of the of Dow Jones over the past five years um if they're saying that this the biggest they've shorted and sold off inventory since in the past two years if we look at what was happening around two years ago um on this chart uh you know I'll zoom in a little bit so we can see a little better so we came in so you know the beginning of the year Dow was at you over 34,000 right so actually in the end of last year December 31st 2021 Dow was at 36,000 right that was a high number so I remember this time this is around the time I think I had Aaron Brickman on and there was a there was a lot of discussions about um what was happening towards September heading into October and I remember there were a lot of financial experts that were positing that they thought that there was going to be some sort of crash in October now we did see um that in August from August there's a high in August of [Music] 33761 and by about a month later se you know in September it was it was down to you 28,700 so that right there you know it lost 5,000 points uh actually wait uh let's see yeah so 28 down to 28 so yeah so it lost you know about 5,000 points from August to September and a lot of people remember the discussion at that time were saying that okay this is if if a few things happen it's this is just the first loss it's going to hit another one and it's going to be pretty significant so it makes me wonder now at that time it also seemed like some sort of magical hand kept it all together like it everything was pointing towards something negative happened but it seemed to have been lifted back up probably because they were still mid you know mid through you know Biden's Administration they couldn't have him be the guy that has this huge financial crash happened right A lot of people I've talked to are saying yeah they're keeping it at Bay until Trump gets in because they think Trump will get in and they want to make sure that when Trump gets in in he he he's handed one of the most devastated economies you could imagine and so it is it's interesting though looking at what was happening um you know two years ago versus now um and seeing so as right now we're at almost 40,000 which is crazy right but as to what happens over the next few months it's it's it's hard to say it is hard to say except you know when you look at the economy and it's like it's it's hard to say that oh the stock market was doing terrible during the Biden years it didn't it was it I mean it's near all-time highs right but you have to look at the why right sometimes it's like I don't care if interest rates are higher low I want to know why they are I don't care if the stock market's high or low I want to know why so during the Trump years it was true Revenue growth the economy was growing jobs were increasing wages were going up people were spending money and the stock market is a function of Revenue first and foremost right is people spend corporate earnings revenues profits go up and therefore so to share prices now to companies investing in you know as you invest into their stocks and it brings money into those companies revenue is revenue they don't care where it comes from to them it's just an input well where did that Revenue come from during the Biden Administration wasn't from job growth wasn't from wage increases it was stimul money look at all the trillions of dollars that they've been printing to keep the economy propped up since Co never stopped which is why we've got this deficit spending a couple trillion dollars a year every single year that we're spending more than what we're bringing in and for some reason politicians say yeah that's pretty good let's just vote for it it's like what in what world I mean Seth your wife would want to just smack you upside the head if you sat down at the dinner table and said hey you know what we're we're going to spend a couple trillion dollars more than what we have this year I mean use it in in real numbers I don't care if it if you make $100,000 a year and you spend $20,000 more than what you make it's like it's still you're going into debt right but we're going into you put it into perspective we bring in about $4.8 trillion a year in in federal tax income tax revenue if we're $2 trillion dollar in deficit every year they're spending about 40% more than what they make year after year after year that's absolutely unsustainable and so the Biden Administration kind of knows this they brush it under the rug and they keep manipulating the Consumer Price Index inflation numbers and and you know what they do not want truly is for the economy to collapse while they're in office it's going to collapse and Trump mentioned this like three or four months ago and he got slammed for it because people said he's evil and he wants the economy to collapse that's not what he said and that's not what anybody wants what he said was I would rather the economy collapse now rather than when you know right after I get in right because whoever is in office when it collapses whether they were responsible for it or not they're going to get the blame he had nothing to do with it right so so that's all that he was saying is that it's inevitable that the economy is going to collapse I don't think there's a way out of that right and and you look at everything and all the reasons why I think it's unsustainable the debts unsustainable um even if Trump were to come back tomorrow as president and you know re and Trump the best economic presidents in the history of the country and I put Trump even one step above Reagan really because of of what he was dealing with in the sense of oh coming off all the massive deficit spending Reagan didn't have the massive balloon debt that that Trump had to inherit right so managing all that Trump is an amazing president for growing businesses and growing the economy well you you look at where we're moving heading forward it's like you've got you've got Russia and Putin who wants to dollarize the world they took away the Petro dollar the bricks nations are rising up the dollar is toast we're no longer the reserve currency and every time an economic sanction is put on Russia the dollarization accelerates because he just gets matter and matter and matter right so I don't even know if matter is at word maybe it's more mad but but but we look back let's take a quick little step back in history about these sanctions on Russia so first of all the I was talking to Laura Logan about this the brics Nations um became the bricks Nations because of sanctions that were thrown on those countries individually and say hey if we have a large enough trading block like the European Union right if somebody puts a sanction on one of our countries so what we we've got this big trading block we can overcome it it minimizes the damage so that's how the bricks Nation started so now when when the Russia Ukraine conflict started for whatever reason I don't know America seems to have this weird love affair with Ukraine right and it's like especially our policy makers and so that just ticks off because we're we're about to spend what is the number um I wish I I I had the number we're spending close to I think eight is it 800 billion that we've dumped into Ukraine and the number is astronomical it's just astronomical right and so what if what if you don't whenn that's just money that you threw away right so so anyways sanctions when you're dealing with Putin are different than sanctions than if you were to put sanctions on the Dominican Republic it's like Dominican Republic what did they produce bananas you know coconuts pineapples cigars sugar cane not not a big deal when you have economic sanctions on Russia what do they have oil gas raw materials like aluminum coal all this stuff right and they've got a nuclear Arsenal as a Navy that's right off the coast of Miami you've got Putin who's a wild card of a leader and you don't and he want he's just got this mission to dollarize the world it's like I'm not saying I'm against economic sanctions on countries I'm saying read the room people know your audience when you're going to do something things are going to have consequences and ramifications and every time they do that they're going to dollarize the world so this last one that they did so first you had the get out of the Swift system wanting to starve out the population and Putin got ticked three weeks ago you had basically 300 economic sanctions put on Russia by the US Treasury Department then four days ago another one and because the bricks Nations basically are as as a Col Collective whole kind of not immune to sanctions but but it doesn't impact them as much because they've got all these countries in in concert with each other so what did the treasury Department do they're sanctioning financial institutions and companies that do business with Russia right let's go after them right if going after the country Isn't So effective well one of the the like least not assuming so I I didn't think that this would ever happen quite honestly who got hurt in this sanction the Bank of China Seth the Bank of China it's like they're one of their bricks Nations biggest of the bricks Nations right and so the Russian division of the Bank of China ceased operations in Russia because they didn't want to be shut down from economic sanctions from the West so what does that mean that particular Bank does all the currency transactions between the Yuan and the ru as these two M massive bricks nations are trading back and forth with each other so this is going to have a a pretty actually detrimental impact on the economy of Russia um and what it's going to probably cause is other Financial intermediaries to jump in that maybe aren't as robust that maybe don't have the security measures and it's going to be ripe with fraud it's going to be kind of tough for Russia so again another just slap in the face to Putin he's going to get ticked and ticked and ticked and he's dollar izing the world right so so here's where I say know your audience and use some diplomacy when you're figuring some of these things out because I don't think the sanction is really going to hurt them all that bad because they'll just find something with China something with India some other way in the bricks Nations to to worm around this but but you know you look at this and there's tensions and there's chaos and there's uncertainty and now Hezbollah is rising up against Israel right and Hezbollah has an army that's probably 10 times larger than Hamas right and it's funded by Iran which Iran is now part of the bricks Nations it's like what is happening here geopolitically and we've got a weak leader at the helm it's like this stuff probably would not happen with Trump at the helm tell you that much right so so all of this stuff Trump is going to inherit the Cesspool right and and you you look so getting a little kind of political philosophy thinking here you look at what Obama's mandate and Mission was as a president and as a person as a community organizer and I'm going to paraphrase it it's like you put enough toxic sewer into the system and you create questions in people and they start questioning things and they start questioning their leaders and if you lose trust in the leaders you've won the game right so this is what they've done now you you look at the you look at the debate and and I'm actually mad at Jill B and it's like okay Dr Jill she's pushing her husband to keep running it's like he's obviously he was on on stage he was scared he's obviously not there mentally dementia whatever it is right and had to be helped walk off the stage because he's got I don't know arthritis or stiff he just old right and so it couldn't think straight and it was it was I I saw a meme it's like I think I just saw the last episode this was the season finale of America it's like oh boy like kind of funny but sad in a sort of way but anyway she's pushing him on because she loves being the first lady well now you had four or five top Democrats that came out and said Biden's got some some dementia type issues why don't we bring in somebody that's younger that's more robust that Comm communicate better so who did they bring in who's now wanting to take that PO position right you got Gretchen Whitmer you've got Hillary Clinton you've got Michelle Obama you've got Cala Harris and Gavin Newsome every single one of those people are almost devotees of Obama's philosophy right just like Biden was Biden is Obama's mini me it was his vice president right so so no matter who Trump goes against it's the same story the same Mission maybe somebody that can talk right but but it's the same and America is now saying this is too much this is too much government overreach and I I have a feeling that Trump could actually win really big no matter who they put up because it's the same rhetoric that's coming right from Obama's Camp maybe from the Clinton Camp before them maybe from the from the pages of solinsky and and whoever and Valerie Jarrett whoever wrote this book on community organizing and creating distrust with leaders this is what Trump is running against and you know what I'm I'm with the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity I'm seeing that truth is starting to Prevail over darkness and this is that continuing battle for our independence that's this on going action verb and we're starting to see Victory Seth and it's exciting to me oh I I agree it's absolutely when you look around you can see it's like you you're you're at War and you realize like wait the the enemy like their their their generals got you know pneumonia and the two other generals are in there's infighting and uh you they're completely disorganized and you can absolutely see it but you know the what worries me though is is that even if Trump does get in what's he get handed right and that's the yeah that's the frightening thing so I want to bring up one other article because this is this is the damage that's been done to America right here right so this is a Zero Hedge the US drops out of global competitiveness for the first time ever of of the top 10 right so I'll read the little introduction says Singapore Switzerland and Denmark have been ranked have been named the world's most competitive economies in the 2024 World competitiveness ranking published by The International Institute for management development on Tuesday while Denmark dropped two spots after topping the list in 2022 and 2023 Singapore left leapt from fourth place number one thanks to very high scores in government and business efficiency so let's look at this chart this is the US dropset of global competitiveness top 10 it's the highest ranks ranked countries in territories um from 2010 or sorry 2000 2010 2024 so you can see the shift that's happening here right so in at 2000 United States was number one they were absolutely number one uh followed by Singapore then Luxembourg NE Netherlands Etc going down on uh 2010 Singapore number one Hong Kong number two uh interesting you had a huge shift towards Asia right at that time United States Switzer Switzerland Australia pops up now 2024 Singapore's Switzerland Denmark Ireland Hong Kong Sweden UAE Taiwan Netherlands Norway United States isn't even on the chart I mean this is it's embarrassing it's like what's happened since 2000 you know because it's not just you can't just say it's Biden right this is the culmination of Obama of clintons of even the bushes I'm sure have had a hand in this right so and this is what do you what do you make of this well they they all did and I think that's the fabric of society starting to expose its ugly head right it's like 2000 top of the Heap 10 years later third it's like ah we're losing a little bit we're slipping we got to better pick that up right that's what any competitor would do but but since then we've fallen off the face of the cliff and you have to ask why right well well you look at the at the welfare state and and in over 28 States you make more money by being on welfare than you do with a minimum wage job so why even work I mean why you could make more money you know drinking a my taii on the beach of haai than you could being on minimum wage and if you get a job you lose that welfare so it's like let's just not do anything right so you've got those kind of entitlement policies that for a long time have been destroying America this is against what the founding fathers ever envisioned you know handouts to people benevolence I would call it should be up to to individuals or to the church never to the government right and so but the government took over because I think the church kind of did a mstep and people don't tithe like they should so so the government stepped in but then it became more of a lifestyle than a Band-Aid and that's part of the problem right now more recently why I think the massive fall off out of the top 10 for the first time ever is the diversity equality inclusionary you know social policy where employers are are being forced to hire people that maybe aren't the most qualified it's like okay that's devastating I'm all about being nice to people being fair loving your neighbor right but but when you're forced to hire somebody because of a social aspect rather than because they're the best person for the job you've got issues so to me it's like well duh of course we're going to fall out of the competitive top 10 when we've got policies like that right and so so I don't know and I think Co did a lot of damage to the economy of of an an entitlement mindset who was like I want to make the same amount of money and I'm going to work from home right so many remote workers and and when you have the remote workers what are they doing well they're probably watching Days of Our Lives and working at the same time and they're not really working as hard as they should as they would be in the office it's just human nature right so I think we are seeing the ramifications of of policy legislative action and a social decline really of of society as we know it right because as an employer all of us employers are dying for amazing employees that want to work hard and grow and Thrive and have a career and work themselves up the corporate ladder right um and if you're if you're an employee like some of the some of the you know fresh out of college people like that we have working for for our firm and so forth it's like I want to encourage them almost like a father figure it's like you know what this is your time to shot Society is isn't necessarily the hardest working right now if you work hard if you're excellent if you do research after hours if you've got a positive attitude it's going to be much easier to shine in in a world of a bunch of dim lights right it's like so there's opportunity there though but as a whole we're not there right and and you look at the backwards of society and I saw the the pride parade in Toronto right it's like I don't know if you saw it but it's absolutely disgusting you know people celebrating their pride and their gender identity and whatever else and yet how are they celebrating well let's have like a thousand people walking down the street naked it's like at a familyfriendly parade it's like what it and and any normal world that's like indecent exposure you should be arrested but no you can't do that you're celebrating Pride right it's like these are the diversity equality inclusionary measures that are actually destroying the fabric of our society but in an employment realm we're seeing that that's why I think we fell off the competitive chart for the first time ever well something else is a throw in there in terms of where our society is at morally I'm not sure you've probably seen if if you've spent any time on social media lately which hopefully you haven't if you're lucky there's this the meme of this Hawk Tua girl right have you seen her floating around her faces everywhere and it's like she's become this Obsession and and and even within a lot of the conservatives like they're obsessed with her there's they're all making memes and songs and there's like this idol worship of this woman who's gone mega mega viral but if you take a step back it's this girl in her in her young 20 that was went on some interview and talked about some you know relatively nasty and degenerate you know bedroom Behavior which you know people can do what they want to in their bedrooms I mean it's it's it's not my you know you know okay do as you will right but the the fact that you have so many people that are the you know kind of the so-called conservatives right which you for me it's you know being conservative is is it's it's a moral like fundamentally it's a moral stance on right that we've got ten commandments right we've got got you know laws that were given to us by God and our freedom exists within these laws given to us by God right and but if you just look at that and not to not to like you know blame anybody it's it's just a symptom of where our society is at that like that icon becomes the the cultural phenomena and becomes worship people have T-shirts of it people are getting tattoos of it it's like it makes me think of our founding fathers like if you sat down with George Washington and he was like okay it's 202 goes Seth you know what's what's what's really popular in your Society these days is it you know is it wood wood woodworking or furniture making or gardening and it's like no it's some online mean of some girl that talked about spitting on a man's private part like they they they wouldn't know what to think like they they it would be outside of their realm and I think that the problem is that we just don't know how far we've Fallen morally as a society right I know this is this is an economics you know kind of discussion but and and to bring this in but I think that they're interlined actually because I really really believe that like look at Sodom and Gomorrah it's like you could say that you know the lesson consistently is how our moral behavior is is reflection of what happens to us you know from the the the greater perspective that's not in to mention into getting into some of the more Eastern philosophies about you know Karma and that you know if you act a certain way like if you're bad bad things will happen well it's like that simple principle right that could you possibly apply that to America it's like if you look at America and even the people that are supposed to be protecting our our country from tyranny and evil and everything are like are we deserving of God's protection as a country at this time and you know it's it's I think it's a tossup actually I think there there's definitely this this massive Resurgence of you know just faith and and and discussion about God in the public sphere and bringing the T ten comparment back into the schools there's this great push back against it but is that great enough to turn the tide of everything else that's happening and it just makes me wonder it's like I I actually don't know I really don't know well you know the Bible tells us you know if is there 100 righteous is there 10 righteous people is there just one righteous person right and God will hear the prayers of his people in one person God will hear their prayers and can change a nation right it's like you even look at like Moses he actually changed God's mind right so so yeah never give up prayer but that's the key you got to pray right um that that faith can move mountains and you just have to believe and know that God is still in control and still in charge and we are living like practically in the days of Noah right I mean we we are it's nasty it's really nasty but but this is where we rise we shine we cast out the darkness with the light of Jesus that you know just shining through us right and and loving your neighbor and and truly trying to be Jesus hands and feet on this earth right so so there is a battle it's not easy it's getting harder and harder and harder but but you're right you do have States like look what Oklahoma putting the Bible in every classroom and wanting that mandating that it's taught about that's big that's a big move in the right direction right so hopefully the darker it gets people are going to see we need to make change right and you're going to start to see a lot of change happen I I certainly agree I certainly agree so in kind of summarizing a lot of our discussion right what we're seeing is the the as you mentioned these hedge hedge funds doing this pretty massive selloff and shorting okay that's key looking at where America is at you know globally you in its competitiveness you can see everything that that 've been talking about like this is this is really it like the the entering into the final stages of this um you know dollar denominated currency which has propped up our our nation so a lot of this I think that which why I'm fascinated with economics is because you look at what's happening in the world and so much of it is actually underpinned by economics if you understand the economics you can understand War Cycles understand the rise and fall of societies and everything and so I think that what we're seeing here is it's the end of a cycle right this is the end of a it is it's almost like you mentioned how people saying the debate is like the final episode the season finale of America um it's almost like what we're witnessing like this this year over the course of the next year or so is the final episode of this uh you know Federal Reserve dollar system that's propped us up and allowed us to fund this massive military-industrial complex and everything that it's it's it's on its last leg and so where and how do precious metals fit into this equation because you know if if one ship is burning it's like okay where do I go right if you're worried about where the ship is going what are the solutions well here's where precious metals always act you know it's hard to you know do you make those kind of dogmatic statements like always and never it's like they always do though act as a flight for safety in times like this and inflationary times things go up in price gold and silver are things right but but gold and silver act as a barometer against um distrust in the government the more people distrust the government the more gold price goes up because countries start buying it central banks start buying it people start buying it they lose faith and confidence in the system so from a from a investment standpoint that kind of fundamental pillar that's driving it up these foundational issues I mean Silver's gone from 22 to $30 an ounce in the last three months or so that's amazing right it's over 30% growth in three months people would be happy with that return for a year but it's just a little over a quarter right and so it's because of those fundamental issues driving it but don't just look at gold and silver as a good investment look at as a mechanism to protect your financial freedom and privacy in a world with big brothers jumping in you know Central Bank digital currency intrusion on your bank accounts ability to cut you off from buying or selling having something that's portable that's tangible that you could use in a barter scenario that that actually is not something digital that they can flip off with a a switch your ability to get to your money look at gold and silver as a mechanism and a tool to preserve and keep your financial freedom and privacy and as a good investment vehicle so that's what makes sense right now to me not always five years ago no but today absolutely the the whole world has changed in the last five years and who knows what it's going to look like five years from now all that I know Seth is that if you ever want to maximize your future you have to maximize each and every day how you maximize your days today is with precious metals so Kirk if someone wants to reach out to your company we've got a website set up gold with.com or 72065 39 again it's gowi se.com 720 60539 I'll make sure those those are in the description to Today's Show and yeah I think you you summarized it well it's like yeah you know we don't know where things are going to be at 5 years from now but the key is whatever assets I have right now I want to make sure that those assets are in something that I think will sustain whatever happens the next five years right if my entire net worth was sitting in a savings account or sitting all in the stock market I'd be concerned about the chance of like okay what's the chance of that net worth and that that net that egg of money surviving the next 5 years and that's why for me it's you know gold and silver is more of an insurance policy it's about preserving it's about protecting now granted yes it'd be great right I wish I could go back in time and when gold was or when silver was 17 bucks an ounce put everything I had into silver right because now it's you know 3032 $33 an ounce okay great so there's obviously opportunity there but to me that's so secondary to the thinking of for the same reason I'm buying you know you know 50 gallon 50 you know pound bags of hard red wheat in case there's food shortages it's like I want to make sure that what I'm doing right now is preserving and protecting my family so three years from now my family is not the one that has to liquidate our home and you be living out of a van because I didn't make the right choices now so uh I I highly encourage folks obviously do do their own research but if they've been on the fence about precious medals contact your team right if they're comparing a few different dealers contact your team you know if you bought from another gold dealer before send your invoice to Kirk and his team because there's a lot of a lot of shenanigans going on and a lot of these gold companies are ripping off people that sense what's happening and they're a little bit panicked which isn't a good place to be but they're they're acting and maybe they're not doing their due diligence which I didn't say look you know whatever you're spending send your invoices to Kirk's team have them look at it because you know unfortunately there's a lot of bad things happening but yeah I think now is the time right now is the time to take at least a little bit of a step towards that so we've got the the URL the phone number Kirk's team is great I trust Kirk with my my life you know to be quite honest and so yeah well Kirk any final words from [Music] you happy Independence Day week there we go keep fighting the battle for good and we'll Prevail but but you know what what we can do is is connect your heart you know your your faith and your reason all into one it does take a leap of faith to reach out to call me because you never people don't know me right they just seen me interview with you and elsewhere and like maybe I should but maybe I don't I want to have I ey of all the eyeball contact I wish he was local right well I'm not but it's just a phone call away and you'll realize wow they're going to educate they'll take care of me they'll hear my concerns and hopefully we start melting away that Financial anxiety so take that leap of faith so then the logic of why that we're doing what we're doing those two can blend and then we've won then we've won this battle in your mind of protecting and preserving and growing and thriving in a world where the foundations around us are eroding exactly well Kirk thanks again man it's always good having you on yeah it's great to be on folks perhaps you'd agree with me
