And joining us now is Tony Aardman, a longtime great friend and supporter of the show. And he set up David Knight Gold to help you to bring your gold home. I guess that's kind of the theme of the show. And he set up David Knight Gold to help you to bring your gold home. I guess that's kind of the theme of our show. We've got central banks that are repatriating gold and bringing it home. Tony will let you do this on an individual basis. Thanks for joining us, Tony.

Always great to be here, David. Good to see you. Yeah, there was a great story. I don't know if you saw this or not. A guy in Kentuckyentucky he found a gigantic stash of civil war era coins gold and other things like that and uh so you know gold was um right there in the cornfield on his farm uh had been missed for you know 160 years or whatever and um 161 i guess because there weren't any coins that were older than 1862, just one,

uh, one of the types of coins that he had, uh, they've recently sold at auction for a hundred thousand dollars. He has 18 of those. So that's 1.8 million right there. And he's got a lot of other stuff. They got a picture in this article of this massive stash of coins and a lot of these things are in mint condition and they're coming from very rare mints and so um he's already had this certified by the numismatic guarantee company and they've called it the great kentucky horde and they've got all kinds of a list of all kinds of coins that they found in this thing but that's that's uh uh one way of uh bringing the gold home isn't it well it is and uh step one don't call the fbi when you find gold i've heard people do that i don't know why yeah but there was that uh the

one gentleman years ago that had treasure hunters and they found they felt i thought they found the gold yeah that's up in pennsylvania i came in and. Yeah. That's up in Pennsylvania. Wasn't it? I came in and took it. Yeah. That's up in Pennsylvania. Wasn't it? Right. The FBI came up there and they said, you know, look, we got this and they

tried to do it above board and then the crooked FBI comes in and they sealed off the area and they said, we could hear them working at night for a very long time and then after they get finished, I said, no, there's nothing there because they took it. Well, there's a lesson in that in that, too, about the gold. I've even bought gold coins from the Roman era. And the reason that they're still valuable is because they are gold. And I think that's missed on a lot, just because they're old.

I've seen coins from the Roman era that are not gold, that are just the debased copper coins. And they're not worth that much, unless they're in great condition. It's the same thing with currency throughout history it keeps its value with with being precious metal silver or gold yeah this would be worth a lot of money just on the metal basis of it but again this is a has a numismatic uh aspect of it they said uh they got an 1860 uh one mint condition 1863 double eagle they, would be an important event. But finding a roll of these things, and they weren't 1863s, they were 1862s. And just a massive, over 700 gold dollars that they found.

Wow. That sounds pretty amazing. Yeah, just the metal. Gold dollars. I think I've brought them up on your show before, just showing how they're little bitty little things, you know, but they're worth about $200, which just shows you the total debasement of the dollar itself. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah. At least that much that has dropped. But, of course, it's not just this guy bringing it home or finding it on his home. As you and I were saying at the break, we've got a lot of gold that's being repatriated by central banks who don't want to leave this uh abroad this is something that's been happening for several years but it's really escalating now isn't it and there's a headline up on kitco and because of the sanctions on russia again leading back to that

they had the u.s froze 640640 billion in assets that were gold and forex investments of Russia's. And that really scared a lot of the other central banks around the world. They're repatriating their gold from foreign vaults. That's a trend that is accelerating and surprising a lot of people in the precious metals sector right now. Yeah, they're doing it because this article I've got here from Zero Hedge, 85% of the 85 sovereign wealth funds and 57 central banks said they think inflation is going to be higher. And yet it is really what's driving it is what you pointed out, the fact that we had this freezing of Russia's stuff. And then from a personal standpoint, what we saw with Trudeau, freezing the accounts of people who are protesters,

and what I just talked about, where you've got people like Nigel Farage or parental rights groups that are getting kicked out, or Christian priests who's getting kicked out of their banking accounts because of their political or religious beliefs. You're giving me a pep talk now about being a pep politically exposed person that's uh the part of the new AML rules you know that's coming and that's why precious metals and decentralized tokens are so important right now with the the rush towards central bank digital currencies and again, just crushing liberty with the overreach of these totalitarian governments on currency.

It's more important than ever to understand what gold, what silver is, being outside of the system. There's a reason why these banks are repatriating. They don't like their exposure. There was a story, what about a year ago, David, that the Vatican started pulling all their assets back to the Vatican. They started closing down foreign assets in their holdings. So I think, again, you start looking at these signposts on what these foreign entities are doing, and you'll see the volatility built into that. I think that's what we're witnessing right now is a major sea change geopolitically when it comes to the dollar, when it comes to finance. Yeah.

As you pointed out, they froze about half of Russia's gold and, and, um, assets like that with this, um, uh, NATO movement, but going back to 2019. And I remember when this happened, Poland said, well, we're going to bring home 100 tons of gold. We don't want it abroad. Then Hungary, then Romania did it. Then the summer of 2017, actually preceding that, you'd had Germany start to do that. And prior to that, in 2015, you had Australia bringing in half of its reserves. Netherlands, Belgium have also done that.

But it has really, really escalated. And people are concerned, even the central banks are concerned about the London gold exchange and just leaving it outside of their country. They want to have it in their possession because, as you and I have always said, gold is real money, but also if it's not in your possession, you don't really own it. If you can't get that. And they're seeing this over and over again. And then you take a look at what is happening with the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

And these derivatives, the ETF derivatives, people are, you know, that's, you've talked about that many times. How that allows them to manipulate the price of gold but it's also um a very uh it's not even a good investment from standpoint of following the price of gold because it doesn't uh really track the price of gold which i thought was kind of interesting when i started seeing go i used to have money in paper gold for my IRA and paper gold and silver. And I noticed this is really disconnected from the price of gold and silver. What's up with that? So I started looking at it.

I was like, no, I don't want that. Oh, it's totally disconnected. There's something called counterparty risk. You know, you got counterparty risk when you're investing with, and you're looking at to allow someone else to hold your money and back it up with their assets, supposedly, that you can't see. So I don't like that. I like to, when I invest, I want to be able to hold it in my hand. I want to be able to possess it, whether that's gold and silver or real estate or even things like Bitcoin. I want to hold the keys.

If I can't hold it, I don't invest in something that you can print. Let's put it that way. Yeah, that's right. Speaking of Bitcoin, I thought it was funny that Britain is going to call their CBDC Britcoin. I had to do a double take when I saw that. It was kind of an odd. I guess I figured it's so close that people really won't notice. I think people will kind of scope in on that.

It's better than FedCoin. That doesn't really inspire anybody at all, but at least it's a better name, but same evil. Same. I didn't know that, Dave. That's news to me. It's really about branding. I can't see how anybody would confuse the two. Yeah. You know, you've got some central bank controlling digital currency as opposed to some decentralized finite resource like Bitcoin. That's crazy.

The people of Nigeria certainly didn't. Yeah, it was Prime Minister Rishi Rich. That's the spoiled little rich kid. He's now the Prime Minister. He's the one who coined that term, Bitcoin, as a nickname. That's not going to be the official term, but, you know but that's the way they're going to sell it to people. They're CBDC. Well, they're very clever with their nomenclature, aren't they?

Yeah, yeah. But when you look at what is happening, they made it very clear at Davos in January, CBDC is going to be the future of money. But then they talk about how they're not quite ready for it just yet. But at the same time, we see a competition that is developing. There was an interesting article Brian Shulhavi had at healthimpact.com where he's talking about how we see the global, the geopolitical divisions between NATO and the U.S. and Europe in the five eyes.

They're on one side with their current system, the IMF and the Bank of International Settlements. They're on one side. And you've got this rapid escalation of people who are rushing in to the BRICS, which was Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It was only about five countries for quite a while, and they were doing their own thing. But then it rapidly jumped to 19, and then within the last two months, it's gone from 19 to 40-something. It's more than doubled again, and it's still about a month or so away

before they have their uh next meeting and all these people are clamoring to get into this to get away from our system of slavery financial slavery yeah two major points coming out of that one uh they're meeting in august to talk about uh linking a currency to gold which is is monumental. But the other thing, and it's not covered as much, is that President Macron out of France asked the Prime Minister of South Africa if he could also join or at least attend the meeting, which is huge. And go back a few months ago, Macron also visited China to make sure that France wasn't associated with the United States stance on Taiwan. There's a major geopolitical shift going on right now.

And you talked about the Five Eyes. Again, the BRICS isn't going to save us. Don't start cheering for that because of the evil U.S. hegemonic dollar dominance. I don't want that. But I know what's going to come out of this deal with the BRICS and China and the surveillance state as well. It's just a different side of the coin. But that's a huge story that you see Macron wanting to attend the BRICS summit. And I think that's going to be more and more countries. I mean, you look at the the headlines i just did all i did is i typed in on bing

i typed in uh bricks august just bricks august and the headlines are can the bricks countries break the u.s dollar the new world reserve currency will kill the u.s dollar this is these are the headlines off of bing and uh things like reS currency, the opportunities and the pitfalls. BRICS explores creating new reserve currency. I mean, they just, again, these are just all over. Just by typing in BRICS in August for the meeting, it's massive. I think there was Zimbabwe is another headline in here. They're going to be asking to join BRICS.

So this is something that's accelerating rapidly, David. I can't stress this enough. I mean, normally we've had to wait a long time for these massive political changes but I look you know to an example of like what happened to the Soviet Union at the beginning of the 1990s you know it's just all of a sudden it was gone you know Gorbachev comes on television on Christmas Day and it disappears and breaks into 16 pieces these are things that happen in our in our lifetime and as as the technological age it's just rapidly advancing since the invasion of

Ukraine by Russia which they were goaded into doing I'm not a russify I'm just saying I know the history behind that yeah uh that was uh I think we you know our side the NATO the West wanted them to do that since that time uh we've lost uh what was it i did the calculations of the day it was like we'd had 60 of the world's transactions in dollars prior to 2021 and uh just right right prior i think you know 2020 and then in 2022 it's uh dropped to 46 it's declining rapidly every year now and now these headlines popping up and we weren't talking about the brics nations two years ago not like this i I mean, it was in the periphery of things I discussed, but nothing like this. And there's a coordinated effort to get away from the dollar. And if you read further

into that article about gold repatriation, there's a frustration at the end of the article on Kitco where these central banks are saying, well, we still don't see any alternative. We're pulling our gold home. We want to own gold. We're trying to get rid of the dollar and get out of dollar holdings but there is no alternative that's what this summit in august is all about is uh getting having an alternative that's the term tina there is no alternative creating alternative will further accelerate uh the demise of the dollar being the world's reserve currency and i'm not saying this to be doom and gloom of the dollar being the world's reserve currency. And I'm not saying this to be doom and gloom, like the dollar's going to zero.

I think that the dollar is going to digital. To me, these kind of moves that our so-called leaders or our overlords are making, to me, it looks like a controlled demolition. You wouldn't be making these moves if you wanted to keep the world's reserve currency status. Somehow, I think this is baked into it. So we that are paying attention need to see what our options are. We can't stop this. There's no political movement in the US, David, that can stop the dollar's demise now as the world's reserve currency. I think that horse has left the barn, so to speak. So I think right now, all we can do is just see where we're going to land, how we can protect ourselves. And there's a couple of different things, you know,

protecting your wealth against inflation, loss of purchasing power. But more importantly, what you talk about, and that is being outside of the system. We have to have a parallel system of value, and history shows us that that's precious metals. That's right. And, of course, you know, that's a big part of what this whole BRICS thing is about as well. It's not just, well, they seized this money from Russia, and they could do that to us as well.

But they understand that once this system that they're pushing so hard gets in place of digital currencies, and it's going to be a global system. They've been very open about that, even openly talking about, well, it's going to require, said the IMF, it's going to require that laws be changed and maybe even constitutions be changed in various countries so that we can have the central bank digital currency. They understand what a pervasive system of control it is because they want to do it to their own people as well in China and in Russia. But they want to escape that complete control system for themselves in the same way that Trump would talk about how 5G, if the Chinese have the technology, it's going to be used to control everything that we do. So we've got to have our own independent 5G. He wants to control and watch everything that you do,

just like everybody else in Washington wants to with 5G. But we don't want the Chinese doing it. So the Chinese are going to do the same thing. The Russians are going to do the same thing. They want to control and surveil everything that their people do, but they don't want to be caught up into that thing as well. And so that's a lesson for all of us, because they see these control tactics coming and they want to get businesses like yours.

It really is a big geopolitical realignment that is happening right now, isn't it, Tony? I mean, just like we saw with the unification of Europe. You pointed out how slowly that's happened in the past. It was Bilderberg met for the first time in 55, and then in 56, they talked about having a euro. And it took a very long time for them to accomplish that. First, they had to create trade zones and other things like that. And then they created some political structures. But then the glue, of course, that's going to hold all that stuff together is going to be some kind of a common currency.

And that's why they're trying to glue this UN, NATO, World Economic Forum, these multinational corporations, trying to glue all that together with some kind of a global digital currency. That's what's coming well if i recall uh trump's answer to the chinese and 5g was 6g i think if my memory serves me he said we need to start talking about 6g yeah i was noticing too there was a i think it was a finance minister from uh india that was talking a couple weeks ago and said uh talking about central bank digital currency and what the premise of that was and say well you ago and said uh talking about Central Bank digital currency and what the premise of that was and say well you know in real time uh the governments the treasuries could control whether and and whether you could buy ammunition or you know or a firearm or food

yeah right right any anything that uh that they would deemed uh you know or fuel uh that they would say well you can't buy that this week. That's what this is all about. Again, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, these are not your saviors. You know, a lot of people are talking about, well, the BRICs are going to they're going to have a new reserve currency. You're going to link it to gold. Well, I hate to break it to everybody. We already have a gold standard. It's called gold. It's around the world it's universal i i i find this argument about whether currency should be backed by gold or what what the government should do the government shouldn't be in the currency business this is how we got into this mess in the first place and we have a fake

world built off fake money it creates some real monsters yeah um you know it's funny too david i i read a lot of history of gold but i also go back to the uh just the story of the origin stories of communism and you're seeing this today um the communists always need gold they always need money you always got to get you know they loaded down trotsky uh he was a newspaper reporter in new york uh you know 1917-19, and they loaded him down with gold and sent him to Russia. Same thing with Lenin. The Max Warburg was the brother of Paul Warburg. He was the head of the central bank in Germany.

They loaded down Lenin in a sealed boxcar with millions of dollars in gold. So it's the hypocritical part of the commies and the Marxists. They always act like they don't want money, but that's truly what it's all about is the control of wealth and the power. They want that. And so again, this is something that we look at history, they're going for the gold, they're going for the wealth. And they like fiat currency because it allows them to create a fake deep state. But at the end of the day, they're always looking for the value somewhere. And that's why it's important for us to understand how to be outside of their system. Yeah, they're always looking for the value somewhere. And, uh, that's why it's important for us to understand how to be outside of their system. Yeah.

They're not, uh, anti materialist, uh, their followers may be their followers may have bought into that idea, but, uh, no, they just want everything that you got, uh, that's the Marxist they're the, they're the, uh, kleptocrats that are out there trying to steal everything from everybody. Yeah. That's interesting story. And, and I always thought it was funny. I had somebody send me a link to where I could get the movie. I haven't gotten it yet, but, uh, they actually did a movie with Ben Kingsley about Lennon, uh, being put on that train seal train going from Switzerland to Germany to start the communist revolution. They gave him $10 million in physical gold, uh, to go do that. And, um, that movie had, uh, Ben Kingsley in it. I thought that's interesting. I've never seen that here. It's not even available in the U S they don't want you go do that. And, um, that movie had been Kingsley in it. I thought that's interesting.

I've never seen that here. It's not even available in the U S they don't want you to see that in the U S you can only get it typically in a European format, unless it's kind of a, a bootleg version of it. So, um, uh, I, I thought that was, uh, interesting that that story, they don't want told, uh, of, of, uh, the central banks and, and using gold to start, but the Russians, the Russian communists in power. But of course that's, uh, uh, they've always been behind that type of thing. And, um, they are always the ones who push war, push revolutions and all the rest of this stuff, because that's how they make their big bucks.

It's, it's just, uh, it's not doing the fees and everything from us that they do on a regular basis. Well, these are bankers wars. Yeah. You know, that's the 20th century is a slaughter pen of bankers wars. And, uh, you know, I talking on my show, even going back a year, I talked about us allies, you know, allies that we've had in the past, uh, people that we leaned on and people that we supported like Saddam Hussein, you know, or, or Gaddafi, you know, and these people that are dead now. And, uh, I was thinking about, uh, the, those really pathetic pictures.

Or Noriega. Of Zelensky. Take, take. What's that? Noriega, Manuel Noriega. Noriega. Who became. Right.

Absolutely. He's a strong man. It's like, what does that mean? It's strong man. Had to take him out. Said George HW. Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, be careful when you're a us ally.

I was thinking, and I did the, uh, the pathetic pictures of Zelensky at that NATO summit and his outfit, the Babylon B had a great headline that said, uh, man, a man, a tense party thought it was a costume or something like that. And he regrets wearing a costume. he's just standing there by himself everybody else is all dressed up and his wife's in a very nice dress because you know she shops at paris and spends what was it forty thousand dollars in an hour or something but uh you know she's uh she's meeting somebody and he's just kind of standing there by himself looking that's a really funny picture yeah it's funny how things can change very quickly you know stay

humble but that guy certainly wasn't and that and if you know about Bankers Wars if you know about what they prop up and what it brings but that imagery really just looks to me that's going to be the the dollar soon like I just think about like it's just let nobody wants it anymore I think that's going to happen not not tomorrow and not next week but that's coming i mean just when there's an alternative it's just going to be left out of the party because of how of its behavior yeah you know the the i think it was the defense minister of britain said we want to see gratitude like they're just like why are you not grateful that's what happens you know you get somebody like a

zielinski that you prop up and you put up there and you tell him he's the most important person in the world. Definitely not grateful. I mean, he got very angry with these people and they pushed back on it. You know, Biden says, well, we gave you more than everybody else combined. It's like, yeah, we noticed. And, uh, you got other ministers, they're pushing back against him. He's demanding that he gets a, he's become this petulant child.

Of course, I think he always was, but, uh, he's not even trying to hide it anymore. Uh, not, not a very good look, not a very wise move to make in that, uh, group of people and, uh, a really dangerous individual, a little megalomaniac, you know, who wants to escalate the war and he doesn't care what happens to his own people or the rest of the world. It truly is amazing. But, um, well, what's going on at, um, wise wolf gold. Tell us a little bit about, uh, uh, what's happening there.

Well, as you can see the spot prices of gold and silver have gone up, uh, silver's up 4% over the last month, uh, gone up since we've been on air. I've got golds at 1, at 1961 luciferian banks or notes per troy ounce on the yellow metal uh 1961 silver is at 24.73 that's kind of surprising to me because with all the talk about i hadn't checked the price but with all the talk about it uh the fact oh we've conquered inflation you saw that right i was going to bring that up there's two headlines that i i love to find contradictory headlines. That's one of my favorite hobbies now.

But you see Dredge, it's got a smiling Ben Franklin on the $100 bill. It's like inflation eases, Fed emergency over. But if you go to just one, a couple of links over when I do my search, there's MarketWatch. There's gold and silver near one month highs as US dollar weakens. Well, which one is it? Is it we had a great dollar, inflation stopped is it is that we got a great dollar inflation stopped or is we've got a weak us dollar and gold and silver up well i'm i'm going to be betting against the drudge headline as i usually do now uh yeah i don't think people are buying the pr uh

release out there i think they're going to put their money where they think things are actually going which is uh they're expecting more inflation well there will be more inflation it's just mathematics I mean again 80 of all the dollars created in the last 48 months and uh you've got the that's another thing is dollar velocity right you've got dollar velocity and the strength of of a currency is based off of how much it's it's there's demand and how much is uh units in circulation we created this massive amount of units but we're losing the demand and it's not again it's not you know uh it's very subtle it's a percent at a time and it's going down so i think the the real uh you know money is on is on what's going to happen

to commodities and the shift away from from the dollar so what i'm looking at david is just continuing getting supply uh right now there's a little bit of ease it's never it's never going to back to the way it was before 2020 i don't see how it will um but we still got supply we've got uh pretty quick turnarounds right now uh if you want to place an order we don't have a minimum you can go to david knight dot gold if you want to get some physical precious metals uh we'll we'll help you i've got uh kenzie uh placing trades for me and uh helping customers i got a great team here in branson i've got my location in denison texas and my son houston is helping me he's 18 he's learning the business and uh helping me there so i'm kind of floating

back and forth i'm in branson right now um but we have wolf pack and that's another thing that that's growing every day and we're getting more and more people uh more people that we get the stronger that we get um and so I just bought yesterday I told Kinsey we bought a lot of the 10 ounce silver pieces I'm trying to get people more fractional silver um just for trading and bartering and things like that we've got a lot of pre-1965 coinage in great condition uh that's going into the wolfpack packages and then i offered all david knight listeners and this isn't valid anywhere else it's just david knight if you upgrade or join wolfpack i'm sending you a complimentary silver

dollar if for any reason you don't get one please email my staff and we'll we'll get we'll get you your silver dollar but i've got i don't know about 70 left wow i think we had about 30 people join last week so uh i got about 70 left so I think we had about 30 people join last week. So I got about 70 left. So if you'll go to davidknight.gold and hit join Wolfpack, go check us out there because that's a great way just to join and let us buy your medals for you. You will, again, my cancellation rate's so low.

That's just, I think, a testament to people liking their packages and the variety. Well, it's a great plan, and I really do appreciate what you do for us with a special offer just for our listeners. And always the support that you've given us has always been so kind, and we really do appreciate that. And it's great to know somebody that you can actually trust. And I've known you for a long time, trust you. And it is like last time you were on, we talked about how these people were taken in by this site where they thought they were buying, I think it was crypto of some sort. And they were hustled. The site, it was just a dummy site. I mean, you've got to know who you're doing business with.

So it's very important. And so we really do appreciate what you're doing. That's a great offer for people. Setting up a regular savings program is such a powerful thing and I think people don't realize the value of that but it's especially true to have something that is going to be not only a hedge against inflation

and bad economic times but against this ruthless plan of surveillance and control that they're trying to impose on us. I mean, that to me, that is still the biggest aspect of these metals. So thank you for doing that, Tony. Appreciate it. Thank you, Dave. Thank you.

And again, you can find, you can get to Tony with David Knight gold that he set up and that'll take you to wise wolf gold where Tony can give you a hand with that. Thank you. Have a, have a good week. We'll talk to you next week. Yes, sir. See you then. Thank you. All right. We're going to be right back, folks. hand with that. Thank you. Have a good week. We'll talk to you next week. Yes, sir. See you then. Thank you. All right. We're going to be right back, folks. Stay with us. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
