Hello everybody and welcome into commodity culture where we break down commodities markets, sound money principles and geopolitics all with the goal of making you a better investor in the commodities sector. And on this episode I'm welcoming in Bob Morardi, the founder of 321 gold.com and a former marine fighter pilot who holds 14 international aviation records. Bob believes a worldwide revolution is kicking off as Nepal's government collapses. France experiences riots and spreading civil unrest and the political divide becomes more radical than ever in the United States. Bob dives into why the fiat currency Ponzi scheme initiated by Richard Nixon in 1971 is the root of all these problems. And you're going to want to stick around to the end of the interview where Bob goes deep on both the gold and silver markets and why he thinks they will benefit massively from the continued chaos and uncertainty gripping the world right now. So strap yourselves in for my conversation with Bob Mori Arti. Bob Morardi, it is great to have you back on Commodity Culture looking very forward to this conversation. I want to start by discussing the increasingly dystopian world that is the collective west. Um, we're seeing things happening in regards to people being arrested for exercising their free speech now ballooning into what looks like the death of free speech itself as if the concept never existed. We've, of course, the UK and Germany being the main examples, but now it appears the Trump administration is also headed towards administering censorship, particularly targeted at those who oppose Israel. Help us make sense of this whole mess. Why is this happening now? Why is it spreading? And what could the consequences be? >> Well, the strange thing is that that you can't explain it in terms of logic. You can only explain it in terms of this. It's what's going on. Now, it was predicted one of the very best books to understand what's going on today. It's called the fourth turning that was published in 1997. And the authors of the fourth turning said that somewhere around 2005 2008, we're going to go into the fourth turning. and you you have an attempt by government to have full-blown totalitarianism. Now, to the extent that I have seen things that are just staggering to me, uh you mentioned West Germany. Okay. And and they're literally arresting people and putting them in jail for their opinions. In the UK, they had 900 senior citizens arrested for holding signs being anti- genocide. In the United States, an IDF terrorist named Mast Mast, who happens to be a congressman from Florida, has come out with the bill saying the the Secretary of State can remove passports from people who support terrorism. And of course, supporting terrorism in the United States now is by saying you're against genocide. But it happened in Romania where they cancelled election because the wrong guy was elected. It's happening in Germany where they're trying to put the ADF people in jail. It's absolutely bizarre. I'm going to uh I'm going to take some credit here and I don't know if you read every piece that I write, but I I wrote a piece last week and I included three pages of a book that I wrote in 2016 and I was talking about war and death and I was predicting the world's first worldwide revolution. Uh the the censorship is just part of it that scares me the extent to which the Kirk uh assassination is being used as a tool to tighten down on Americans opinions. Now we have a supposed constitutional guarantee to free speech. They don't have that guarantee in the UK. They don't have that guarantee in Germany or Romania. But uh what what we're doing is literally chopping that particular tree down and that has very ne negative ramifications. Now let me take you to the ultimate. You had mentioned that there are protests that are going on at Serbia that have been going on for months. >> Yeah. In in Nepal, the government tried to block certain social media platforms and the people literally revolted. They burned parliament down. They chased the prime minister out of the country. They burned his wife. They beat politicians. Same thing in Indonesia. Same thing in the Philippines. And what we're seeing, it all goes back to the same place. When Nixon took us off the gold standard on August 15th of 1971, he literally said, "Okay, now the US has a blank check. We can just print money as much as we want." And and by and large back then that wasn't true in Europe. Europe was fairly physically responsible, but the countries in Europe and the countries around the world looked at and said, "Well, if the United States can print money to oblivion, why can't we do the same thing?" Revolutions always start because of economics. because there gets to be too great a difference between the oligarchs who have 99% of the wealth and the rest of the people. The revolution in France 1789 took place because the cost of flower was so high that people couldn't afford it. But the interesting thing is if you go back to France in the 18th century and say why did the revolution take place? It's really simple. France got involved in a war that they didn't have to get into and it literally bankrupted France. And of course that's the American Revolution. Now, American history doesn't cover this. But the fact is if the French had not supported the American Revolution, uh the colonialists would have lost. Okay, the British should have won the war and they didn't win the war because of the French, but it bankrupted the French king. So by 1789, the women and parents couldn't afford flour. So they got upset and and started a revolution. But that's exactly what's happening in Nepal, exactly what's happening in the Philippines, exactly what's happening in Indonesia. And now because of the Kirk assassination, I think that we could look forward to it happening in the United States. The sponsor of today's episode is Ark Silver Gold Osmium. Owner Ian Everard is praised even by his competitors as one of the most honest and level-headed bullion dealers in the United States. They have some great prices.

Make sure to tell him of course that commodity culture sent you. And now back to the interview. Well, that leads to my next question, which is the question of civil war. Now, very interesting to note that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate of all people took to social media and he just wrote the words civil war. But what I want to know regarding a potential civil war in the United States is first of all, do you think there's a possibility that we could actually see an armed conflict break out on mass? And who would the sides be in that conflict? I thought it was pretty ridiculous for Andrew Tate to just post civil war. I mean, who's fighting who at this point? Is it the people versus the politicians? I feel like the left and right are more politically divided than ever in the US today. And so, I would imagine it would be the two sides against each other, which would be to the benefit of the political elite and the people pulling the levers of power behind them. What What are your thoughts? >> Well, here here's what's interesting. What kind of uniform does a leftist wear? >> Well, that depends if they're an Antifa thug or not. I'm prepared for you asking me questions this time. >> Yeah, actually, that's very funny. That's a really good answer. Thank you. You got me. But but you can't identify a Republican or Democrat by and large with what they wear. But the nice thing about having a country that has 400 million guns with 330 million people, everybody's armed and you can shoot everybody. Okay. Now, are we seeing this? And I'm going to tell you, I think so. I I think that we are seeing the veages the start of a civil war and people are angry and they're just going to start shooting each other. it. It's total insanity. It's something I predicted nine years ago. It has nothing to do with revolution and it has everything to do with economics. Trump has actually suggested they uh Congress has passed a law called the Genius Act and they're going to turn the debt into stable coins and then devalue gold or devalue the dollar by increasing the value of gold to pay off the debt. Now the United States 37.5 trillion dollar in funded debt were over $200 trillion in unfunded death. Uh the the fact is that money can never be paid. So you can inflate it away, you can increase taxes and try to pay for it. Uh or you can default. And what Congress and Trump are trying to do is have a behind the scenes default that nobody notices. But of course, people are going to notice because they think they've got wealth today and they're going to wake up tomorrow and there is no wealth. Have you watched any of the videos by Professor Jang? J A I N G. Professor Jang Shuin. Yes, he is um he is one of my favorite uh people to watch on YouTube. He has in my opinion uh the greatest lectures and classes that I've ever seen in my life. >> Well, he has a lecture on the three stages of of countries, the the start, the middle, and the end. And I watched that and and I I I gotta say I I'm surprised. I only came across him recently, but I watched this and I was actually dumbfounded. And when you get to the third stage, that's when governments turn authoritarian, which is exactly what's happening right now. But what he predicted that they missed in the forth turning was the collapse is sudden. And I absolutely believe that I see a lot of anger in the United States, a lot of dismay over people can't afford things. There is a subprime auto crisis going on right now, but it's totally under the surface and the people defaulting on their auto loads. It's higher than it's ever been. I am absolutely convinced that very shortly and I happen to think before the end of October we are going to have a financial collapse. It's going to happen far faster than anybody believes. Now the government believes they can always control this but if you look at Indonesia and if you look at the Philippines and if you look at Nepal and if you look at the UK and you look at Germany you realize maybe they can't quite control it the way they think they can and maybe the collapse will be a lot faster than people realize. He has done an excellent job and because he has predicted two potential nuclear wars and a financial collapse and I just happen to agree with that. I I everybody should go to YouTube and and watch the guy. He he is absolutely brilliant. >> Definitely agree with that. I want to quickly touch on the mass immigration component to the issues that we've been seeing worldwide, but particularly this is something pertinent to Europe. I want to give the disclaimer to everybody. I am an immigrant, so I'm not anti-immigrant in any sense whatsoever. But we are seeing issues with people being imported from countries that may not necessarily share the same cultural values of the countries that they're being imported into. And I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the reason. There's different theories. Are they attempting to import a new voter base? Are they simply trying to prop up GDP numbers and make the economy look good by adding cheap labor to the workforce? And of course, the ultimate what some call conspiracy theory, the great replacement theory, it's being called, that they're bringing in these immigrants with incompatible values to the West on purpose to seow chaos and seow division in the population um and intentionally try to destroy cultural identity to make people easier to control. Where do you stand on on this issue? That's a really good question because somebody came to me um nine months ago. I'm in the south of France and we have a hotel here that it's run as I I I don't know how to describe it. two sisters own it and they invite people to come for a few weeks or a few months to do work and help on the hotel. They're all young people. And it's interesting to me because I get to see a different point of view than I see typically. And came to me and said, "Look, I was at a conference in Spain and I met these couple from Afghanistan. Will you help support them economically for three months if they come to hotel?" And I said, "Sure." Okay. So I did. And this Afghan couple came to the hotel and they weren't going to stay 3 months. So the issue came up of what do they do next? Okay. And I went to him. I said, "Okay, what are you guys going to do next?" Okay. And they said, "Well, we've applied for residency in Portugal." And we were hoping it was easier to do in at France. So we came to France temporarily to see if we could do that. And I said, "We got to do something economically, okay? You got to pay your way somehow. Why don't you write a book?" And we talked about it. And I said, "Look, I'm going to help you with a computer and I've got an editor and if you will sit down and tell your story, the husband tells his story, the wife tells her story, and we see if we can make a book out of." So the woman wrote about 10 pages the first day. It was some of the most beautiful writing I have ever read. And she tells a story about how uh during the American occupation, the Taliban came into her village and separated all the men and that's everything above the age of five. put them in a group, took them out into a field and shot them right in front of her. She was five. And the way she wrote it was so moving. I just said, "Holy cow, this is unbelievable." Now, in general, I'm against immigration in terms of infiltrating uh invading a country for all of the reasons you just talked about. The Biden administration brought in something like 21 million illegal immigrants. And it it got to the point of absolute absurdity where countries in Central and South America were shipping wholesale their criminals to the United States. And the criminals were coming to the US border and handed cell phone and $1,500 a month in a room in a nice hotel. But it goes back to the issue of what causes immigration in the first place. If you bomb the crap out of somebody, the people would do one of three things. They either die, they fight back, or they leave. And people don't realize this, but the amount of immigration in Europe is higher now than it was after World War II. Now, obviously, during World War II, so many countries were devastated. There was a lot of immigration just because people wanted to eat. Much of the immigration into Europe today because is because people want to survive. Okay. We got immigrants from Libya. We've got immigrants from Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. All of these meaningless wars in the Middle East that I'm totally dead set against have caused enormous number of people to leave. And initially the Europeans looked at it and said, "Okay, no, we want to help these nice people. So we'll feed them and clothe them and give them money." But uh to the extent that many of the people did not want to be Europeans, they wanted to be where they were from and they were very angry at having to leave their homes. So it's created a giant crime problem in Europe. And meanwhile, the UK is bankrupt, Germany is bankrupt, France is bankrupt. So the immigration portion is just part of it. But it gives a very identifiable target. Now in the UK, there literally were grooming gangs that were running around finding 13, 14y old girls, grooming them and them. And the police were covering it up because they didn't want to appear to be racist. The real problem is not the immigration. The real problem is these stupid wars that serve no purpose. whatsoever other than to make the military industrial complex rich. And until we start addressing that particular issue, immigration is is always going to be a problem. The 21 million in the United States, an interesting issue because we've always had two cultures. There is the culture that everyone sees and then there is the subculture that people don't see but exists. The guy that I flew with in Vietnam, I was flying the F4. It was two seat aircraft. I was in the front. The guy in the back was called a radar intercept operator. My radar intercept operator's named Cly P or Clive Payatt. He was a veterinarian in North Carolina. He had a lot of land. So he raised Christmas trees. So there was a subculture of Mexicans who would cross the border in April or May. They would groom and do all the things they had to do to the Christmas trees to get them ready. They would cut the Christmas trees in November and they would go back to Mexico uh in November until the next April or May. It existed. Every Christmas tree in the United States is raised by the same people. And now the Trump administration is going after the 21 million. But it's very hard to capture the 21 million. Okay. What is easy to do is to capture the people who are actually trying to work and earn a living. So, they're going after the illegals in California and the illegals in North Carolina and the illegals that that hang around the Home Depot because it's easy to find them. And the strange thing is those are the people we want. Okay? I'm not anti-immigration. I'm just anti-immigration of criminals. So, we've got this bizarre situation where we're making things significantly worse. Uh Europe has an absolute crime issue because of the immigrants and they've been invaded. A and there's another issue to that too. Have you ever thought of or have you ever discussed the demographic problem facing the world? Yes, I've discussed it with a few different guests on this show. >> Okay. Some of the countries like uh South Korea and and Italy have a gigantic problem. You need something like 2.15 children per family to replace okay people who are dying and it's something around one child per family in Italy and below one child per family in South Korea. So what that means is that 30 years from now we've got a giant demographics problem. Now from the point of view of who cares, okay, the social security and the government pension plans are not actually pension plans. They're pay as you go plans. Okay? So when I was in my working prime, okay, I was supporting three or four of me was supporting one person who had retired. Now it's to the point where it takes two people to support my social security. And in the future, there's not going to be two people actually paying taxes. So there's the demographic problem which has to do with size of the population in a country and there's the fiscal problem which is who's going to pay for the pensions if there are no taxpayers. So what we have done is we have set up this gigantic ticking time bomb and it's all based on bad mathematics and debt and war and we have to get out of that. Now, one of the things nobody discusses other than me, and I'd love to see uh Professor Jen talk about it, is the conflict between the debt system of the West and the resourcebased system of the East and the South. That's a very real conflict. In 1492 when Columbus discovered the new world, enormous amount of wealth flowed into Spain and from Spain into Europe and the balance of political power shifted from the far east to Europe and Europe and the United States and Canada and Australia have maintained that power since we are in conflict. The debt bank system of the West is collapsing. Nobody wants to admit it. And unfortunately, Trump is the perfect president to supervise this. He's like the captain of the Titanic. Um, some of the things that are going on in government now stagger me. After Trump was elected in November, Joe Biden had the energy department hand out $90 billion in grants to Democratic institutions. One of them went to Stacy Abrams, who was a black governoral candidate in Georgia. She lost two elections and both elections she said that she lost because of racism. Uh her organization that had had a net worth of $100 the year before the grant was put into place was given $2 billion to donate low energy appliances to poor people. Now, I actually support that. But I looked at the books of this particular organization, and the $2 billion paid for two toasters and a small microwave oven. And the rest of the money went for administration. And I thought that's probably the most absurd thing of people literally the American government that I've ever seen. And that was true right up until the day before the Trump administration was was put into office. And that's when Donald Trump came out with this meme coin. I thought that's that's really weird. Okay, the guy is going to be president tomorrow. What what's he doing coming out with the meme coin? And the New York Times was nice enough to to go in and look at who had invested in the memecoin. and and they figured out that 86% of the people who invested in the memecoin lost money. I thought, what, you know, that kind of looks like a scam. But then I realized that wasn't as big a scam as the $249 perfume and the $249 cologne and the $499 gold cell phone. I thought, uh, wait a minute. We have gotten into the theater of the absurd here. And now his family has rad off several billion dollars at in crypto stable coin scams. So now you can bribe the president of the United States by putting money into stable coins that are controlled by his sons. And I'm thinking that this is perfect. Okay, this is exactly what you get at End of Empire. Now, if you were going to read a set of books that would describe the future, you got any idea what that set of books would be? >> Would it include the fourth turning? >> Uh, actually much earlier than that. H how about decline and fall of the Roman Empire? So, everything that happened in Rome is happening today. There was one year in 300 or 400 AD where there were uh three emperors in one year and the emperors are put into power by the Ptorian guard and the Ptorian guard goes to him and says look we need a raise and the guy say yeah I'm not giving you a raise you're paid enough so they stab him and picks somebody else up. I believe that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by his own security people. I I have seen videos that certainly appear there. There was some really weird stuff going on. The FBI is not telling the truth. It's just as absurd as the attempted assassination on Trump and Charlie Quirk had pissed off Netanyahu. And that's a quick way to die. >> Yeah. And that's something we're actually going to get into in the Rumble exclusive portion of this. There will be a bonus episode on Rumble, so be sure to check that out if you're watching. Um, and great summary about the immigration issue. It's very nuanced and it's shades of gray as opposed to being strictly black and white. So, I really appreciate that perspective. I want to zoom out a bit now and talk about the realm of geopolitics and America's role as the dominant power on the world stage because it does appear to be declining. Um, one there there's a number of of anecdotes and news stories that have highlighted this over the last several years, but the most recent one we can look at is Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signing a formal mutual defense pack. This is from the Saudi press. This agreement, which reflects the shared commitment of both nations to enhance their security and to achieving security and peace in the region and the world, aims to develop aspects of defense cooperation between the two countries and strengthen joint deterrence against any aggression. This comes, of course, shortly after Israel launched an attack on apparent Hamas members in Qatar. What are your thoughts on the partnership and its implications for the Middle East, the world, and and uh America is the dominant power? >> Have you ever read Robert Heinland? >> I haven't. Okay. You should. Okay. He was a master of writing science fiction. Now I grew up in Texas and I was reading his work back in the 50s and 60s and he came up with a phrase in one of his books. It was very appropriate for your question. An armed society is a polite society. The issue of nuclear weapons in the Middle East is interesting. What Pakistan and and we know they're nuclear armed has just done is literally handed the keys to the kingdom to Saudi Arabia and and there are so many nuances around the Middle East that are interesting that's going to change the balance of power enormously and is is very scary. And again going back to YouTube and President Jen or Professor Jang, uh that's a hot spot. The Arabs have woken up to the fact that uh Israel's out of control and if they're willing to attack Qatar, who who they were allies of, would they attack Saudi Arabia? And and the answer of course is yes. And that's interesting because Turkey has cut off Israel. Saudi Arabia has just put Israel. I've noticed now uh Pakistan and Saudi Arabia getting in bed together is a scary direction for the world. I want to talk about the gold market for a moment here. Obviously, as the founder of 321 gold, we have to get your thoughts on the precious metals. Um, amazing where we recently hit new all-time highs again at over 3,700, I believe, as of the time of this recording. What do you make of gold's recent price action, and what is it telling us about the fiat currency experiment we've been living under since 1971? Is it reaching its conclusion in your view? >> I'm getting a nose bleed. I was buying gold in 1968 at $35 an ounce. Uh you couldn't buy gold per se, but you could buy gold coins. The $20 gold piece had uh 98% of of an ounce. So you could pay 36 or $37 for $20 gold piece. And and I just thought this is a good idea. It seemed to me that that was a good idea there. Literally today, it it gold was up 40 or $60 on Friday. It's up 40 bucks today. Silver was up a $127 on Friday. Last time I looked, it was up about 50. Those numbers will give you a nose bleed because they are predicting financial chaos in the world. And where that stops, nobody knows. Uh I have said and I believe this firmly, you do not want to live in a world of $5,000 gold. All fiat currencies eventually collapse. And I think the rise in gold and the rise in platinum and the riots in silver uh is actually a decline in the dollar and all fiat currencies. I think we're in a rush to the bottom. It's going to be an enormous opportunity for those who have been listening to me and the other 50 fools who have been saying for years that gold is an insurance policy against financial chaos. I I am staggered. Okay. Uh from a strictly economics point of view, the gold juniors have been so hated for so long and the leverage you get in those. I think there's going to be a lot of companies that go up 10, 20, 50 fold, maybe 100fold. I own one company that I bought at 8.6 6 cents in January and it was 85 cents on Friday. There are going to be enormous fortunes made. However, for the 97% of people who have never owned gold and silver, their life savings are being wiped out. >> Well, let's hone in on silver specifically, often called the poor man's gold. Um, do you see more people out there potentially or do you anticipate more people out there stacking silver up ahead the retail buyer? Seeing as gold is rising higher, getting more expensive. A lot of people will feel it's out of their reach. Of course, if you want to buy smaller gold pieces, you can, but they carry a hefty premium, which turns a lot of people away. That feels like to me that once the rally really gets going in physical gold and people realize where it's going that they are going to turn to silver as an affordable alternative. What are your thoughts there? >> Well, that's always true. Okay. Uh buying gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rodeium is like dancing. Uh sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Gold has been the leader. Silver is always the lagard, but when silver moves, it really moves. And and if if you think gold will give you nose bleed right now, silver going up 10 or 20 bucks a day, I was really going to give you nose bleed. I am I advocate when you invest, look around and buy what's cheap and sell what's dear. The Chinese government has actually come out and told their people, "Hey, look, gold's getting expensive, but a platinum and silver are very cheap." And absolutely so. I I was buying silver in in 2001, I could buy 100 ounce silver bars for about $425 an ounce. And those same ounces are are 43 and change today and obviously going much higher. This is what Professor Jang talked about the acceleration phase of the collapse. It it's going to get real obvious to people really soon that the financial system is coming unglued. And when I say really soon, he was talking about five years. I I'm talking about five weeks. Something is happening right now and and something very scary is happening right now and gold and silver are the barometer there the temperature and you can look at the barometer and say, "Hey, wait a minute. We're in for storms." >> Well, Bob, this has been a fantastic conversation. Everybody join us over on the Rumble platform. We're going to have a bonus episode that I'm sure you're going to enjoy. Just go to Rumble and search for Commodity Culture. The episode will come up. Of course, if you're watching this on Rumble, that episode is already on the channel, so be sure to check it out. Uh Bob, tell us about 321 Gold.com. And if there's anywhere else you want to direct people, feel free. >> Well, that's that's really interesting, and I appreciate you doing that. Uh Barbara and I, Barbara, it's my wife. We were married for 30 years. I loved her dearly. Uh we started 3 to1 gold because we wanted to educate people into the value of of owning resources and and owning resource stocks and for many many years I've advocated owning gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rodium as an insurance policy, not as an investment, as an insurance policy gets financial chaos. The financial chaos is here now and the people who were listening 5, 10, 15 years ago are doing very well. But we're just at the start of this particular bubble and it will be a bubble and it will go totally out of control, but we're just at the start. The public has not even dipped their toes into the water yet. So this is going to get really interesting and and 321 goals is free website. I've written a dozen books. Uh I I've written everything from short fiction you can read in two hours to serious books about economics, finance, uh about war and those are available on Lulu and and uh Amazon. But uh I I operate 3 to one gold to educate people and I I I'm real proud of it. I think it's a good website. Absolutely. I'm going to put a link to 31Gold.com and also an author's page on one of those aforementioned websites so people can check out the books that you've written as well.

Financial Collapse 'Weeks, Not Years' Away as 'Worldwide Revolution' Ignites: Bob Moriarty
Summary
Transcript
Hello everybody and welcome into commodity culture where we break down commodities markets, sound money principles and geopolitics all with the goal of making you a better investor in the commodities sector. And on this episode I'm welcoming in Bob Morardi, the founder of 321 gold.com and a former marine fighter pilot who holds 14 international aviation records. Bob believes a worldwide revolution is kicking off as Nepal's government collapses. France experiences riots and spreading civil unrest and the political divide becomes more radical than ever in the United States. Bob dives into why the fiat currency Ponzi scheme initiated by Richard Nixon in 1971 is the root of all these problems. And you're going to want to stick around to the end of the interview where Bob goes deep on both the gold and silver markets and why he thinks they will benefit massively from the continued chaos and uncertainty gripping the world right now. So strap yourselves in for my conversation with Bob Mori Arti. Bob Morardi, it is great to have you back on Commodity Culture looking very forward to this conversation. I want to start by discussing the increasingly dystopian world that is the collective west. Um, we're seeing things happening in regards to people being arrested for exercising their free speech now ballooning into what looks like the death of free speech itself as if the concept never existed. We've, of course, the UK and Germany being the main examples, but now it appears the Trump administration is also headed towards administering censorship, particularly targeted at those who oppose Israel. Help us make sense of this whole mess. Why is this happening now? Why is it spreading? And what could the consequences be? >> Well, the strange thing is that that you can't explain it in terms of logic. You can only explain it in terms of this. It's what's going on. Now, it was predicted one of the very best books to understand what's going on today. It's called the fourth turning that was published in 1997. And the authors of the fourth turning said that somewhere around 2005 2008, we're going to go into the fourth turning. and you you have an attempt by government to have full-blown totalitarianism. Now, to the extent that I have seen things that are just staggering to me, uh you mentioned West Germany. Okay. And and they're literally arresting people and putting them in jail for their opinions. In the UK, they had 900 senior citizens arrested for holding signs being anti- genocide. In the United States, an IDF terrorist named Mast Mast, who happens to be a congressman from Florida, has come out with the bill saying the the Secretary of State can remove passports from people who support terrorism. And of course, supporting terrorism in the United States now is by saying you're against genocide. But it happened in Romania where they cancelled election because the wrong guy was elected. It's happening in Germany where they're trying to put the ADF people in jail. It's absolutely bizarre. I'm going to uh I'm going to take some credit here and I don't know if you read every piece that I write, but I I wrote a piece last week and I included three pages of a book that I wrote in 2016 and I was talking about war and death and I was predicting the world's first worldwide revolution. Uh the the censorship is just part of it that scares me the extent to which the Kirk uh assassination is being used as a tool to tighten down on Americans opinions. Now we have a supposed constitutional guarantee to free speech. They don't have that guarantee in the UK. They don't have that guarantee in Germany or Romania. But uh what what we're doing is literally chopping that particular tree down and that has very ne negative ramifications. Now let me take you to the ultimate. You had mentioned that there are protests that are going on at Serbia that have been going on for months. >> Yeah. In in Nepal, the government tried to block certain social media platforms and the people literally revolted. They burned parliament down. They chased the prime minister out of the country. They burned his wife. They beat politicians. Same thing in Indonesia. Same thing in the Philippines. And what we're seeing, it all goes back to the same place. When Nixon took us off the gold standard on August 15th of 1971, he literally said, "Okay, now the US has a blank check. We can just print money as much as we want." And and by and large back then that wasn't true in Europe. Europe was fairly physically responsible, but the countries in Europe and the countries around the world looked at and said, "Well, if the United States can print money to oblivion, why can't we do the same thing?" Revolutions always start because of economics. because there gets to be too great a difference between the oligarchs who have 99% of the wealth and the rest of the people. The revolution in France 1789 took place because the cost of flower was so high that people couldn't afford it. But the interesting thing is if you go back to France in the 18th century and say why did the revolution take place? It's really simple. France got involved in a war that they didn't have to get into and it literally bankrupted France. And of course that's the American Revolution. Now, American history doesn't cover this. But the fact is if the French had not supported the American Revolution, uh the colonialists would have lost. Okay, the British should have won the war and they didn't win the war because of the French, but it bankrupted the French king. So by 1789, the women and parents couldn't afford flour. So they got upset and and started a revolution. But that's exactly what's happening in Nepal, exactly what's happening in the Philippines, exactly what's happening in Indonesia. And now because of the Kirk assassination, I think that we could look forward to it happening in the United States. The sponsor of today's episode is Ark Silver Gold Osmium.

Make sure to tell him of course that commodity culture sent you. And now back to the interview. Well, that leads to my next question, which is the question of civil war. Now, very interesting to note that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Andrew Tate of all people took to social media and he just wrote the words civil war. But what I want to know regarding a potential civil war in the United States is first of all, do you think there's a possibility that we could actually see an armed conflict break out on mass? And who would the sides be in that conflict? I thought it was pretty ridiculous for Andrew Tate to just post civil war. I mean, who's fighting who at this point? Is it the people versus the politicians? I feel like the left and right are more politically divided than ever in the US today. And so, I would imagine it would be the two sides against each other, which would be to the benefit of the political elite and the people pulling the levers of power behind them. What What are your thoughts? >> Well, here here's what's interesting. What kind of uniform does a leftist wear? >> Well, that depends if they're an Antifa thug or not. I'm prepared for you asking me questions this time. >> Yeah, actually, that's very funny. That's a really good answer. Thank you. You got me. But but you can't identify a Republican or Democrat by and large with what they wear. But the nice thing about having a country that has 400 million guns with 330 million people, everybody's armed and you can shoot everybody. Okay. Now, are we seeing this? And I'm going to tell you, I think so. I I think that we are seeing the veages the start of a civil war and people are angry and they're just going to start shooting each other. it. It's total insanity. It's something I predicted nine years ago. It has nothing to do with revolution and it has everything to do with economics. Trump has actually suggested they uh Congress has passed a law called the Genius Act and they're going to turn the debt into stable coins and then devalue gold or devalue the dollar by increasing the value of gold to pay off the debt. Now the United States 37.5 trillion dollar in funded debt were over $200 trillion in unfunded death. Uh the the fact is that money can never be paid. So you can inflate it away, you can increase taxes and try to pay for it. Uh or you can default. And what Congress and Trump are trying to do is have a behind the scenes default that nobody notices. But of course, people are going to notice because they think they've got wealth today and they're going to wake up tomorrow and there is no wealth. Have you watched any of the videos by Professor Jang? J A I N G. Professor Jang Shuin. Yes, he is um he is one of my favorite uh people to watch on YouTube. He has in my opinion uh the greatest lectures and classes that I've ever seen in my life. >> Well, he has a lecture on the three stages of of countries, the the start, the middle, and the end. And I watched that and and I I I gotta say I I'm surprised. I only came across him recently, but I watched this and I was actually dumbfounded. And when you get to the third stage, that's when governments turn authoritarian, which is exactly what's happening right now. But what he predicted that they missed in the forth turning was the collapse is sudden. And I absolutely believe that I see a lot of anger in the United States, a lot of dismay over people can't afford things. There is a subprime auto crisis going on right now, but it's totally under the surface and the people defaulting on their auto loads. It's higher than it's ever been. I am absolutely convinced that very shortly and I happen to think before the end of October we are going to have a financial collapse. It's going to happen far faster than anybody believes. Now the government believes they can always control this but if you look at Indonesia and if you look at the Philippines and if you look at Nepal and if you look at the UK and you look at Germany you realize maybe they can't quite control it the way they think they can and maybe the collapse will be a lot faster than people realize. He has done an excellent job and because he has predicted two potential nuclear wars and a financial collapse and I just happen to agree with that. I I everybody should go to YouTube and and watch the guy. He he is absolutely brilliant. >> Definitely agree with that. I want to quickly touch on the mass immigration component to the issues that we've been seeing worldwide, but particularly this is something pertinent to Europe. I want to give the disclaimer to everybody. I am an immigrant, so I'm not anti-immigrant in any sense whatsoever. But we are seeing issues with people being imported from countries that may not necessarily share the same cultural values of the countries that they're being imported into. And I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the reason. There's different theories. Are they attempting to import a new voter base? Are they simply trying to prop up GDP numbers and make the economy look good by adding cheap labor to the workforce? And of course, the ultimate what some call conspiracy theory, the great replacement theory, it's being called, that they're bringing in these immigrants with incompatible values to the West on purpose to seow chaos and seow division in the population um and intentionally try to destroy cultural identity to make people easier to control. Where do you stand on on this issue? That's a really good question because somebody came to me um nine months ago. I'm in the south of France and we have a hotel here that it's run as I I I don't know how to describe it. two sisters own it and they invite people to come for a few weeks or a few months to do work and help on the hotel. They're all young people. And it's interesting to me because I get to see a different point of view than I see typically. And came to me and said, "Look, I was at a conference in Spain and I met these couple from Afghanistan. Will you help support them economically for three months if they come to hotel?" And I said, "Sure." Okay. So I did. And this Afghan couple came to the hotel and they weren't going to stay 3 months. So the issue came up of what do they do next? Okay. And I went to him. I said, "Okay, what are you guys going to do next?" Okay. And they said, "Well, we've applied for residency in Portugal." And we were hoping it was easier to do in at France. So we came to France temporarily to see if we could do that. And I said, "We got to do something economically, okay? You got to pay your way somehow. Why don't you write a book?" And we talked about it. And I said, "Look, I'm going to help you with a computer and I've got an editor and if you will sit down and tell your story, the husband tells his story, the wife tells her story, and we see if we can make a book out of." So the woman wrote about 10 pages the first day. It was some of the most beautiful writing I have ever read. And she tells a story about how uh during the American occupation, the Taliban came into her village and separated all the men and that's everything above the age of five. put them in a group, took them out into a field and shot them right in front of her. She was five. And the way she wrote it was so moving. I just said, "Holy cow, this is unbelievable." Now, in general, I'm against immigration in terms of infiltrating uh invading a country for all of the reasons you just talked about. The Biden administration brought in something like 21 million illegal immigrants. And it it got to the point of absolute absurdity where countries in Central and South America were shipping wholesale their criminals to the United States. And the criminals were coming to the US border and handed cell phone and $1,500 a month in a room in a nice hotel. But it goes back to the issue of what causes immigration in the first place. If you bomb the crap out of somebody, the people would do one of three things. They either die, they fight back, or they leave. And people don't realize this, but the amount of immigration in Europe is higher now than it was after World War II. Now, obviously, during World War II, so many countries were devastated. There was a lot of immigration just because people wanted to eat. Much of the immigration into Europe today because is because people want to survive. Okay. We got immigrants from Libya. We've got immigrants from Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. All of these meaningless wars in the Middle East that I'm totally dead set against have caused enormous number of people to leave. And initially the Europeans looked at it and said, "Okay, no, we want to help these nice people. So we'll feed them and clothe them and give them money." But uh to the extent that many of the people did not want to be Europeans, they wanted to be where they were from and they were very angry at having to leave their homes. So it's created a giant crime problem in Europe. And meanwhile, the UK is bankrupt, Germany is bankrupt, France is bankrupt. So the immigration portion is just part of it. But it gives a very identifiable target. Now in the UK, there literally were grooming gangs that were running around finding 13, 14y old girls, grooming them and them. And the police were covering it up because they didn't want to appear to be racist. The real problem is not the immigration. The real problem is these stupid wars that serve no purpose. whatsoever other than to make the military industrial complex rich. And until we start addressing that particular issue, immigration is is always going to be a problem. The 21 million in the United States, an interesting issue because we've always had two cultures. There is the culture that everyone sees and then there is the subculture that people don't see but exists. The guy that I flew with in Vietnam, I was flying the F4. It was two seat aircraft. I was in the front. The guy in the back was called a radar intercept operator. My radar intercept operator's named Cly P or Clive Payatt. He was a veterinarian in North Carolina. He had a lot of land. So he raised Christmas trees. So there was a subculture of Mexicans who would cross the border in April or May. They would groom and do all the things they had to do to the Christmas trees to get them ready. They would cut the Christmas trees in November and they would go back to Mexico uh in November until the next April or May. It existed. Every Christmas tree in the United States is raised by the same people. And now the Trump administration is going after the 21 million. But it's very hard to capture the 21 million. Okay. What is easy to do is to capture the people who are actually trying to work and earn a living. So, they're going after the illegals in California and the illegals in North Carolina and the illegals that that hang around the Home Depot because it's easy to find them. And the strange thing is those are the people we want. Okay? I'm not anti-immigration. I'm just anti-immigration of criminals. So, we've got this bizarre situation where we're making things significantly worse. Uh Europe has an absolute crime issue because of the immigrants and they've been invaded. A and there's another issue to that too. Have you ever thought of or have you ever discussed the demographic problem facing the world? Yes, I've discussed it with a few different guests on this show. >> Okay. Some of the countries like uh South Korea and and Italy have a gigantic problem. You need something like 2.15 children per family to replace okay people who are dying and it's something around one child per family in Italy and below one child per family in South Korea. So what that means is that 30 years from now we've got a giant demographics problem. Now from the point of view of who cares, okay, the social security and the government pension plans are not actually pension plans. They're pay as you go plans. Okay? So when I was in my working prime, okay, I was supporting three or four of me was supporting one person who had retired. Now it's to the point where it takes two people to support my social security. And in the future, there's not going to be two people actually paying taxes. So there's the demographic problem which has to do with size of the population in a country and there's the fiscal problem which is who's going to pay for the pensions if there are no taxpayers. So what we have done is we have set up this gigantic ticking time bomb and it's all based on bad mathematics and debt and war and we have to get out of that. Now, one of the things nobody discusses other than me, and I'd love to see uh Professor Jen talk about it, is the conflict between the debt system of the West and the resourcebased system of the East and the South. That's a very real conflict. In 1492 when Columbus discovered the new world, enormous amount of wealth flowed into Spain and from Spain into Europe and the balance of political power shifted from the far east to Europe and Europe and the United States and Canada and Australia have maintained that power since we are in conflict. The debt bank system of the West is collapsing. Nobody wants to admit it. And unfortunately, Trump is the perfect president to supervise this. He's like the captain of the Titanic. Um, some of the things that are going on in government now stagger me. After Trump was elected in November, Joe Biden had the energy department hand out $90 billion in grants to Democratic institutions. One of them went to Stacy Abrams, who was a black governoral candidate in Georgia. She lost two elections and both elections she said that she lost because of racism. Uh her organization that had had a net worth of $100 the year before the grant was put into place was given $2 billion to donate low energy appliances to poor people. Now, I actually support that. But I looked at the books of this particular organization, and the $2 billion paid for two toasters and a small microwave oven. And the rest of the money went for administration. And I thought that's probably the most absurd thing of people literally the American government that I've ever seen. And that was true right up until the day before the Trump administration was was put into office. And that's when Donald Trump came out with this meme coin. I thought that's that's really weird. Okay, the guy is going to be president tomorrow. What what's he doing coming out with the meme coin? And the New York Times was nice enough to to go in and look at who had invested in the memecoin. and and they figured out that 86% of the people who invested in the memecoin lost money. I thought, what, you know, that kind of looks like a scam. But then I realized that wasn't as big a scam as the $249 perfume and the $249 cologne and the $499 gold cell phone. I thought, uh, wait a minute. We have gotten into the theater of the absurd here. And now his family has rad off several billion dollars at in crypto stable coin scams. So now you can bribe the president of the United States by putting money into stable coins that are controlled by his sons. And I'm thinking that this is perfect. Okay, this is exactly what you get at End of Empire. Now, if you were going to read a set of books that would describe the future, you got any idea what that set of books would be? >> Would it include the fourth turning? >> Uh, actually much earlier than that. H how about decline and fall of the Roman Empire? So, everything that happened in Rome is happening today. There was one year in 300 or 400 AD where there were uh three emperors in one year and the emperors are put into power by the Ptorian guard and the Ptorian guard goes to him and says look we need a raise and the guy say yeah I'm not giving you a raise you're paid enough so they stab him and picks somebody else up. I believe that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by his own security people. I I have seen videos that certainly appear there. There was some really weird stuff going on. The FBI is not telling the truth. It's just as absurd as the attempted assassination on Trump and Charlie Quirk had pissed off Netanyahu. And that's a quick way to die. >> Yeah. And that's something we're actually going to get into in the Rumble exclusive portion of this. There will be a bonus episode on Rumble, so be sure to check that out if you're watching. Um, and great summary about the immigration issue. It's very nuanced and it's shades of gray as opposed to being strictly black and white. So, I really appreciate that perspective. I want to zoom out a bit now and talk about the realm of geopolitics and America's role as the dominant power on the world stage because it does appear to be declining. Um, one there there's a number of of anecdotes and news stories that have highlighted this over the last several years, but the most recent one we can look at is Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signing a formal mutual defense pack. This is from the Saudi press. This agreement, which reflects the shared commitment of both nations to enhance their security and to achieving security and peace in the region and the world, aims to develop aspects of defense cooperation between the two countries and strengthen joint deterrence against any aggression. This comes, of course, shortly after Israel launched an attack on apparent Hamas members in Qatar. What are your thoughts on the partnership and its implications for the Middle East, the world, and and uh America is the dominant power? >> Have you ever read Robert Heinland? >> I haven't. Okay. You should. Okay. He was a master of writing science fiction. Now I grew up in Texas and I was reading his work back in the 50s and 60s and he came up with a phrase in one of his books. It was very appropriate for your question. An armed society is a polite society. The issue of nuclear weapons in the Middle East is interesting. What Pakistan and and we know they're nuclear armed has just done is literally handed the keys to the kingdom to Saudi Arabia and and there are so many nuances around the Middle East that are interesting that's going to change the balance of power enormously and is is very scary. And again going back to YouTube and President Jen or Professor Jang, uh that's a hot spot. The Arabs have woken up to the fact that uh Israel's out of control and if they're willing to attack Qatar, who who they were allies of, would they attack Saudi Arabia? And and the answer of course is yes. And that's interesting because Turkey has cut off Israel. Saudi Arabia has just put Israel. I've noticed now uh Pakistan and Saudi Arabia getting in bed together is a scary direction for the world. I want to talk about the gold market for a moment here. Obviously, as the founder of 321 gold, we have to get your thoughts on the precious metals. Um, amazing where we recently hit new all-time highs again at over 3,700, I believe, as of the time of this recording. What do you make of gold's recent price action, and what is it telling us about the fiat currency experiment we've been living under since 1971? Is it reaching its conclusion in your view? >> I'm getting a nose bleed. I was buying gold in 1968 at $35 an ounce. Uh you couldn't buy gold per se, but you could buy gold coins. The $20 gold piece had uh 98% of of an ounce. So you could pay 36 or $37 for $20 gold piece. And and I just thought this is a good idea. It seemed to me that that was a good idea there. Literally today, it it gold was up 40 or $60 on Friday. It's up 40 bucks today. Silver was up a $127 on Friday. Last time I looked, it was up about 50. Those numbers will give you a nose bleed because they are predicting financial chaos in the world. And where that stops, nobody knows. Uh I have said and I believe this firmly, you do not want to live in a world of $5,000 gold. All fiat currencies eventually collapse. And I think the rise in gold and the rise in platinum and the riots in silver uh is actually a decline in the dollar and all fiat currencies. I think we're in a rush to the bottom. It's going to be an enormous opportunity for those who have been listening to me and the other 50 fools who have been saying for years that gold is an insurance policy against financial chaos. I I am staggered. Okay. Uh from a strictly economics point of view, the gold juniors have been so hated for so long and the leverage you get in those. I think there's going to be a lot of companies that go up 10, 20, 50 fold, maybe 100fold. I own one company that I bought at 8.6 6 cents in January and it was 85 cents on Friday. There are going to be enormous fortunes made. However, for the 97% of people who have never owned gold and silver, their life savings are being wiped out. >> Well, let's hone in on silver specifically, often called the poor man's gold. Um, do you see more people out there potentially or do you anticipate more people out there stacking silver up ahead the retail buyer? Seeing as gold is rising higher, getting more expensive. A lot of people will feel it's out of their reach. Of course, if you want to buy smaller gold pieces, you can, but they carry a hefty premium, which turns a lot of people away. That feels like to me that once the rally really gets going in physical gold and people realize where it's going that they are going to turn to silver as an affordable alternative. What are your thoughts there? >> Well, that's always true. Okay. Uh buying gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rodeium is like dancing. Uh sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Gold has been the leader. Silver is always the lagard, but when silver moves, it really moves. And and if if you think gold will give you nose bleed right now, silver going up 10 or 20 bucks a day, I was really going to give you nose bleed. I am I advocate when you invest, look around and buy what's cheap and sell what's dear. The Chinese government has actually come out and told their people, "Hey, look, gold's getting expensive, but a platinum and silver are very cheap." And absolutely so. I I was buying silver in in 2001, I could buy 100 ounce silver bars for about $425 an ounce. And those same ounces are are 43 and change today and obviously going much higher. This is what Professor Jang talked about the acceleration phase of the collapse. It it's going to get real obvious to people really soon that the financial system is coming unglued. And when I say really soon, he was talking about five years. I I'm talking about five weeks. Something is happening right now and and something very scary is happening right now and gold and silver are the barometer there the temperature and you can look at the barometer and say, "Hey, wait a minute. We're in for storms." >> Well, Bob, this has been a fantastic conversation. Everybody join us over on the Rumble platform. We're going to have a bonus episode that I'm sure you're going to enjoy. Just go to Rumble and search for Commodity Culture. The episode will come up. Of course, if you're watching this on Rumble, that episode is already on the channel, so be sure to check it out. Uh Bob, tell us about 321 Gold.com. And if there's anywhere else you want to direct people, feel free. >> Well, that's that's really interesting, and I appreciate you doing that. Uh Barbara and I, Barbara, it's my wife. We were married for 30 years. I loved her dearly. Uh we started 3 to1 gold because we wanted to educate people into the value of of owning resources and and owning resource stocks and for many many years I've advocated owning gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rodium as an insurance policy, not as an investment, as an insurance policy gets financial chaos. The financial chaos is here now and the people who were listening 5, 10, 15 years ago are doing very well. But we're just at the start of this particular bubble and it will be a bubble and it will go totally out of control, but we're just at the start. The public has not even dipped their toes into the water yet. So this is going to get really interesting and and 321 goals is free website. I've written a dozen books. Uh I I've written everything from short fiction you can read in two hours to serious books about economics, finance, uh about war and those are available on Lulu and and uh Amazon. But uh I I operate 3 to one gold to educate people and I I I'm real proud of it. I think it's a good website. Absolutely. I'm going to put a link to 31Gold.com and also an author's page on one of those aforementioned websites so people can check out the books that you've written as well.
