Episode Date: June 4, 2026

Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold and David Knight connect two dots most people are missing: Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence is Bill Pulte — the man Trump used to AI-scrape dirt on... political enemies — which Arterburn calls the clearest possible signal of where domestic financial weaponization is headed next.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, joining us now is Tony Ardibund of Wise Wolf Gold. And again, as I said yesterday, you saw all this stuff from the European Central Bank as well as many mainstream news articles. It was on Drudge for a couple of days at the top, talking about the fact that now gold has surpassed the holdings of U.S. treasury bills because people don't trust the American government for some reason. I don't know why it seems perfectly trustworthy to me, don't you think? But I said, you know, Tony told us about this weeks and weeks ago. So, you know, when we look at the slogan, tomorrow's news today, I think Tony's got this weeks or months in advance. And it's a good thing that he does because I think as volatile as the markets have been, if you didn't have some sense of the long-term direction things are going, Tony, you'd be out of business by now.
Starting point is 00:00:53 It's absolutely an essential skill to survival in this kind of marketplace. So thank you for joining us. always great to be with you david and i i appreciate i was listening to the show yesterday and putting those things together when the media the mainstream whenever they put out a headline like that it doesn't really confirm it for me but i do feel crazy sometimes yeah i'm like way out in front like hey are you watching this metric it's interesting because the european central bank put out that press release that uh gold has overtaking u.s treasuries is the number one held reserve asset we've known that for a while but
Starting point is 00:01:29 If you scroll back further into the press releases from the European Central Bank, I think it was just about a year ago. They put out that gold was actually disrupting the monetary system, that it's destructive. Gold itself was destructive to the system. So now a lot of things have changed, right? Yeah. The fact that gold is supplanting the dollar and becoming the world's reserve currency,
Starting point is 00:01:55 de facto, again, a lot of the sentiment is changing. you can see that in the headlines. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, it was also yesterday I talked about Jeffrey Tucker's article at Brownstone where he said, you know, we have been lied to over and over again. We all know the government lies with its inflation figures. It lies with its unemployment figures. Whenever it puts out a metric, it is always a lie.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And he went into detail about how many different ways they have lied to us and how frequently they have changed the way they calculate inflation. They have changed it. So eight times in 32 years or something like that, or 35 years, I think. But it's about once every four years. They completely change the way they calculated inflation. And that's the way Kevin Warsh is going to come in. The new Fed chair, he wants to come in by start out by changing the way inflation is calculated.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yet another one of these, quote-unquote, adjustments. But he went back to a project that a guy is working on. And the guy's name is Elliot. And he used artificial intelligence to go back and put these numbers together. because that's one of the things that AI is already very, very good at, and that is making sense out of a haystack of information and finding the needles that are in there. And when they looked at this and saw the actual inflation rate was quite a bit higher and notice that we've been in recession now since basically the COVID nonsense. The economy has declined. The purchasing power
Starting point is 00:03:23 has declined. I think the number was something like, let's see, I've got the, actual percentage here, but I have to take a look at it. But it is a tremendous decline in purchasing power since COVID. I mean, it's been like what we all suffered through at the end of the 1970s that was kicked off by the opaque oil embargo. And now we got a Trump oil embargo that's going to kick this off. So I think inflation is really going to start raging on us. Yeah, and the premise of that, too, I've always wondered why they don't truly calculate the impact of currency creation and the inflation numbers. That's right. Because you're not dealing with a static purchasing power.
Starting point is 00:04:10 It is transitory. Not that inflation is transitory, but the purchasing power is transitory and arcing the downward. So over time, I've always wondered. I think, again, the article is correct because the true price of inflation is the expansion of the money supply. And you go back to 1980, where we had, you know, the peak inflation from, you know, the runaway inflation in 1970s and OPEC and all the rest of that. And you had Paul Volker come in to contract the money supply. If you go back to that and you look at the purchasing power of the dollar then, we have 56 times more currency on Earth today than in 1980. So if you expanded the money supply, not just in the United States, but globally and destroy purchasing powers.
Starting point is 00:04:57 True metrics are much worse than the figures that the government puts out because they're assuming static purchasing power. Yeah, yeah, that is amazing. And they never look at the quantitative easing or any of that kind of stuff. They don't really factor that in. They only look at interest rates, don't they? That's such a tip of the iceberg. It's only a portion of it. I'm starting to think that the Trump $250 bill is because like an in run around, you know, quantitative easing by some sort of like paper or fiat, you know, decree that we're going to put out all these $250 bills to make it look, you know, somewhat stable out there and start giving people $250 bills.
Starting point is 00:05:39 That'll last for a while. Yeah. Currency. Well, you're going to need that to fill up your gas tank, right? You only pull out one of these Trump notes to fill up my. gas tank now, $250 to fill it up. I think it's going to be what the $100 bill was worth when he came in. That's going to be the purchasing power of his $250 bill when he leaves, I think. Well, it's funny. History, I was listening to a history of money yesterday on my drive back.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I went back up to, I went down to Texas. I'm back up in Branson today because I had to pick up some silver to take to the trading floor. But I was listening to a book on the history of money. and one of the key points in Roman history, the first emperor to debase currency was Nero. And if you remember you go back to the COVID era, there was that famous like post of Trump with a violin, you know, or something like you can't stop what's coming.
Starting point is 00:06:35 You know, like Nero fiddled, Rome, burn. But it was Nero who first debased the currency. And you know, it's interesting is he had his face on it. He put his face like that. So a little bit of history rhyming sometimes with great empires in the basement of currencies right now. Well, it always is a hallmark of a tyrant that they want to build monuments to themselves with their faces on the money and name everything after themselves. And Trump is just checking all the boxes, isn't he? Well, since his lockdowns, there's been a 12 percent.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I finally found it here, 12 percent GDP loss, half of the U.S. dollar purchasing power has been stolen by Trump since his last. regime. And of course, Biden helped him as well. It's not just Trump fiddling around. Trump does fiddle with the tariff rates and the taxes and things like that. And it hasn't been to our benefit. But, yeah, 12% loss of GDP and half of the purchasing power of the dollar has disappeared because the economic shenanigans attached to the lockdowns alone. And the lockdowns were done by Trump. Everybody wants to say, well, okay, it's those, it's not the lockdowns are not the problem. And it's not the vaccine is the problem. It's the mandate from Biden. That's the problem. No, you know, Biden had a role to play in it and they needed to shift it off to him so they could keep this ball rolling. If they had everything done by one guy, I think even the MAGA people would catch on eventually. It's a tag team sport. Yeah. You know, you and I were talking in 2019, and we've referenced this many times with that last quarter when the central banks around the world, not just the Federal Reserve, but,
Starting point is 00:08:15 They were propping up the repo markets and the United States Central Bank. Was it like $6 trillion? I mean, it was a massive amount of liquidity injection. It was astronomical. I remember looking at it. It's like, what is a repo market? Are they taking people's cars? What's the deal with this?
Starting point is 00:08:33 And I looked at the amount of money that they were doing. And when I first looked at it, it was the entire GDP essentially of Puerto Rico. And then a couple weeks go by and they do another one that's even bigger. I looked that up. And that was equivalent to the entire GDP of Switzerland, which is like the 20th largest economy in the world. And they're dumping that kind of printing, essentially, into the economy. And that was just before they started all the lockdown stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:02 There was a leap that happened on the timeline. And I go back and look at this. It's interesting metrics. But we talk about this if people try to compare now to the 70s. And I guess you can in some ways with runaway inflation and what happened after we went off the gold standard. But much of what Paul Volcker did weren't. I mean, it was manageable, even with the numbers that we had and the debt that we had then. And you have to look at the structure that the world economy was in and a lot of the things that the United States still made at the time and the economic power that we still had at the time.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So there was, for many years, decades where a couple of decades where nothing really happened. We were able to have, you know, seemingly, you know, Wall Street did well and stocks did well and all. And the currency was somewhat static. I mean, the purchasing power in the 1980s and the 1990s did not degrade like it is now. That's right. When we reached 2008, 2009, David, if you go back and look at the metrics, there's something interesting that happened to. name. There was an article that even with all of the risk asset sell-offs that happened after the war kicked us, the Iran war kicked off, where countries were liquidating gold. If you go look at the metrics, central banks bought 17 tons net of gold in April. So even with all of the sell-off, what happened? If you go back to 0809, the buying of central bank gold by central banks, right, was almost zero. So they still use the dollar, like even up to 2008, 2009.
Starting point is 00:10:41 It's been since then and then accelerated since 2022. So even in an environment where risk assets are being liquidated to cover shortfalls, like I think it was like 12 billion in gold at the India just liquidated. They're denying it, at least officially, but it looks like about 12 billion of gold was liquidated by the Indian central bank. There's a lot of volatility out there. but still net buying by central banks around the world. That is something different. So this environment is completely different than anything that we've seen before in recent memory.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And I mean, nothing has actually ever happened before because we've never been in a Fiat around the world Fiat interlinking system with the dollar, the dollar rising like this. So this has never happened. And but, you know, it's funny that we talk about the European Central Bank and like they're way behind. Yeah, the press release. The dollar has been overtaken. The Treasury's overtaken by gold. If you look like the infrastructure that I've talked about, which I think will be the next shooter drop,
Starting point is 00:11:47 the infrastructure being built around the world to house physical gold contracts. Hong Kong, and I just got another headline a few days ago, Hong Kong is rapidly building gold storage facility infrastructure for trading. So that's how currency and that's how deals will be done in the future. And it won't be because of the lack of trust and the lack of, well, the lack of transparency, the sanctions that have and weaponization of the dollar that have gone on rapidly moving away from the dollar. This has to be, you know, when people like Scott Besson, you know, are talking about sanctioning people using, basically becoming a wing of foreign policies, what I talked about on my show last week.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Never seen that. That's never happened in U.S. history with the sitting U.S. Treasury Secretary. Maybe Morgenthau. I think Don Jeffries brought up to me from World War II. Maybe Morgenthau, maybe. Because he had the Morgenthau plan for post-World War II, Germany. But that's the only time I've ever seen that before. And so we're in, I think, we're in unprecedented waters where the dollar is clearly in trouble.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Each day that clicks by, and we still haven't seen. The true fallout has not happened yet because of the release of oil from the Strategic Reserve, David. You know this. That's right. And they're running out of that oil because they're drawing it down so quickly. Yeah. Well, it is interesting because, you know, everybody is running out of oil, even in the United States in terms of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that they're using to try to keep that from blowing up. But, you know, we began this whole thing when Biden started weaponizing the financial system against Russia.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And we've seen that happening over and over again. And yet you talked about Bessent and we look at what is happening in terms of Trump's pick for DNI. He's got this guy Bill Pulte who basically was weaponization on steroids. We're going to see domestic weaponization. We're going to see all this social credit stuff and all the rest of this stuff. They're laying the foundation for all of this. And they're out there saying we're going to start using the intelligence agencies to identify groups who are anti-American and this and this and you know where they're going to go with this. We know where the Democrats are going to go with it once they take power, and we know where the Republicans are going to go with this.
Starting point is 00:14:07 They're going to go into anti-Semitism. Don't you dare criticize Israel, or we will call you a racist and we will punish and cancel you. And so this is what the future looks like. This is one of the other reasons I said about gold. It's not merely, for me, a play on inflation and bad monetary policy and the decline of the fiat currency. for me, it is survival in a world where I'm going to be a target. And you will, too, depending on your political and religious beliefs. You need to have something that's going to be outside of their system where they're going to do their best to shut you down. And I think we're going to see, they want to talk about weaponization and all the rest of this stuff. But they're going to do this, the same type of stuff that they've been doing, which is undermined the U.S.
Starting point is 00:14:56 dollar and financial system internationally. they're going to use that same kind of weapon against us domestically, just like Madison said. You know, the tools of war abroad become instruments of tyranny at home. And that financial weaponization is going to become a tool of tyranny. We've already seen a lot of it happening already. And Madison also said that a republic cannot survive in a state of perpetual warfare. And we're clearly seeing the end of that experiment. And who knew a guy that built crappy homes would make America about?
Starting point is 00:15:29 bad place to live in. That's right. And we're not talking about Mattes and he didn't build crappy homes, but Pulte. We're talking about Pulte. And even, you know, becoming director of national intelligence, I mean, the job doesn't really attract the best people, I guess, over time. And it's, it is sad to watch, David, but you're right. I think we just had to be prepared for how ugly the partisanship is going to get,
Starting point is 00:15:57 the tyranny from, whether, whatever. oversight takes charge. I mean, whether it's the Democrats in 28 or whether it's another, you know, Republican or whatever. It doesn't matter to me. The tyranny is baked into this system. They're building the AI data centers for this very goal of monitoring speech, monitoring movement. That's what they would like to build. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what side they're supposedly on the left, right paradigm is garbage. You know, there's no truth in that. It's it's all a race. to the great reset and the agendas that the parasite class have for us. Everything that they've talked about for decades is culminating here. At least that's the push is to get you into this surveillance system under their thumb and bypass the Constitution. I agree. So it is our responsibility at this point to start thinking, how do we stay outside of the system
Starting point is 00:16:56 to the best of our ability? Yeah. And you know, the thing that I'm surprised at, Tony, is the fact that people are picked up on Bill Pulte. A lot of people called him a thug and things like that. And they mentioned the fact that he was, you know, Trump's, I guess, bloodhound to go find dirt on his political enemies and everything. But think what it really tells us about Trump. He's going to link this with intelligence, right? Pulte is a guy whose family, as you point out, was a mass producer of homes,
Starting point is 00:17:24 predominantly, I guess, in Texas. I don't know. That's where I saw him. I didn't see him so much in other places where I've lived, but a big home builder, and he's in charge of housing and development and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and things like that. So how does a guy like that get picked to do intelligence? Well, just look at what he did for Trump.
Starting point is 00:17:43 He used artificial intelligence to ferret out information on Trump's enemies and to go down into the fine print and find a place where they could come after them for what was essentially a process crime. And why does Trump hate these? So certainly, you know, there's justification for Letitia James. I mean, she is as corrupt as they come in terms of an attorney general in New York. But, and she came after him for all kinds of frivolous stuff. Lisa Cook, on the other hand, what is her issue?
Starting point is 00:18:12 She just opposed his push to lower interest rates. That's the basis for why he came after her. And so he uses this guy, Bill Pulte, who gets this stuff and finds this dirt and gives it to them so they can come after people. Trump loves that so much. This little loyal Stalin-esque guy, you know, bring me the man, I'll find the crime type of thing. He loved that so much that he puts him in charge as director of national intelligence. And that right there screams of what Trump wants to do domestically in terms of coming after even policy enemies of his. And I just don't understand why people aren't screaming more about this.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Because to me, when I saw that, it's like, whoa, that's about the best. biggest admission of where he wants to take the spying on Americans right there and using artificial intelligence to do it. Well, it may be unfair to P.T. Barnum, but I guess we're going to find out what happens. When you give P.T. Barnum, executive power and nuclear weapons, that's, and we're building, you know, I would hope if we're building the carnival on the White House lawn, that maybe they'll do the carnival model and move on after a certain time. People realize they're being fleeced. No,
Starting point is 00:19:29 you're right, David. I mean, these things, and it's hard to watch on the outside because so much of, even alternative media is still soaked in the left, right paradigm of,
Starting point is 00:19:39 you know, us versus them or my team versus your team. We have to remember that the goal of all of this is agenda 2030. It's the great reset. And, you know, it's funny,
Starting point is 00:19:51 kind of like the carnival model or the casino model. You were talking about inflation and other numbers. So much of the financial system, and this is just my research and everything I've been looking at for years, is so fake. It's absolutely fake.
Starting point is 00:20:07 It's built on nothing. It's built on hundreds of times earnings. Unsustainable numbers. These things aren't real. It's just not real. So you're looking at the distraction, whether you're watching MSNBC or Jim Graemeer comes on. You know, you're talking about stocks and all these things
Starting point is 00:20:25 that don't really even match. matter anymore. Literally, they're building their surveillance state. The United States, there's a controlled demolition of our standing in the world, of our empire, of our currency. It's clearly going on. My friend Charlie Robinson wrote that book, you know, the controlled demolition of the American Empire. A lot of this stuff is predicted in that 2021 book. And so we're watching this in real time. So the key here is not to get distracted so much by all of, because there's so much information, but what information actually matters. And so that's why when you pick up on an article that something I just talked about three or four weeks ago that finally gets on to the,
Starting point is 00:21:05 and it doesn't always get into the mainstream, the metrics that I'm seeing are so glaring like the trends that are happening right now where we head monetarily. Like that's the story because that's how they're going to the trajectory of everything they're trying to build is through that system. It's going to be stable coins. It's going to be the reset of currency. Even Elon Musk has been talking, you know, he was on, he was being interviewed a couple days ago about Tesla stock, about how smart money is in tech, Tesla stock. But I just remember him three or four weeks ago saying basically we're just going to get
Starting point is 00:21:41 everybody high, uh, universal basic income. You know, so it's like everybody high. Let's just leave it at that. That's right. 420, you know, that's. well you might need it after you figure out nothing you have is worth anything anymore i mean it's that that's so you can't have you can't what i the point i wanted to make is you can't have both worlds you can't have a world where stocks are truly valued at 400 times earnings and universal
Starting point is 00:22:10 basic income like those two things don't go together like there's either an economy that works and people have upward mobility or you have socialism i mean you have a totalitarian socialist state So those two things don't go together. There's just a lot of duality happening at the same time. That's why I just stay away from all of that. I try to just, I'll look at some headlines, but I'm looking and focusing on the intel for what's being built. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:38 It's a lot of different things are being built right now, not just data centers. Well, that's why when you look at Kitco, for example. I mean, go to Kitko and they have the articles up and they keep them up for, you know, several days. You just see the headlines listed there. and you'll see, well, because Trump said something about a memorandum of understanding now, the stock market has jumped up and this has happened to gold and this and that. And then the very next article or something is flipping back the other way. It's just all this noise that Trump is creating.
Starting point is 00:23:07 But you have to look at the long-term trends. And it was kind of an interesting thing that also came out. I mentioned yesterday that I think it was Bank of America, an analyst that noticed something with the stock market. He said, this is exactly what happened just before the dot-com bust. He said, just before the dot-com bust, you had only 20 stocks that went up, the rest of them were going down. And he said, same thing just happened.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And it's an even narrower point that we've got right now in terms of creating essentially a pin for the bubble. And so that's kind of an interesting thing. You talk about how it's a casino, and absolutely that is true. But it's the longer-term trend. and it is the longer-term plans to have a completely controlled society that we should be concerned about. And that is coming to us through this digital world that's there. But, of course, Trump's got, not Trump, but Musk has got his big IPO coming up for SpaceX.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I think sometime next week. I had an interview yesterday. We're going to play tomorrow with a guy who is, he's from Germany. And his name was Reiner Ziedelman. and he's got a book about space, entrepreneurism, and capitalism. And he talks a lot about Mars. And we talked about that.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I said, you know, how do you monetize? Who wants to colonize Mars? How did that work out for the Virginia companies that came together to fund the people settling Virginia and in Massachusetts? If I remember correctly, those companies went bankrupt. You know, it was a good thing for the settlers who went there. Not that I would think it would be a good thing for a one-way trip to Mars. you ain't getting back from that once you go there.
Starting point is 00:24:51 And it doesn't have the kind of beauty that Virgin America did when the settlers came here. But, you know, this whole thing of SpaceX and this big pump and dump that is coming in, it's going to be drawing money out of other stocks that are there. I actually saw an article. So I said, what's it going to do to your 401K when everybody starts pulling money out of these other stocks and starts putting it into Tesla at an inflated rate. So we don't know what's going to happen with that. But it's like everything else is really is a casino.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It is a gambling casino. It's like what's the difference between that new stock and a meme coin? Nothing. I mean, it's not based off of anything or functionality. Not really. It's it's based off of perceived value. And maybe the Mars colony, well, hopefully it won't be. But, you know, what was it, Rono?
Starting point is 00:25:44 The first, the actual first colony that, They came back and it was just proetan carved in a tree. You remember that? That's right. The lost colony, they still have a play about that on the outer banks of North Carolina every year. North Carolina. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 The fakeness that's in the system and the bubble, you know, AI is not really a bubble. It's a long-term trend and it will infiltrate everything. I mean, AI will is like the- Well, the same thing was true of the Internet as well, but it got ahead of expectations.
Starting point is 00:26:15 You know, Everybody pours and everybody can see the long-term implications of it. And they pour their money in and then they don't have the patience to wait it out because that's what we see with the stock market all the time. It's like, oh, what was the news today? Okay, they trade the news today. They don't trade long-term trends. Yeah. And I think what will happen first.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I mean, there's just going to be a reckoning. And it will be, there will probably will still be fallout from mistakes that were made 2008, 2009. that will be the culmination of the end of the Bretton Woods 2 system that Nixon put us on after we went off the gold standard. The dollar reset is the world's reserve currency. All of these things are going to be happening pretty much at the same time. And that's why I think if you look at the metrics and what's being built to use physical gold or physical silver or the means of currency exchange or contracts, really pay attention to that. That's the future system that's being built for what happens after. It's not going to be a continual up into the right arc for wealth in the world,
Starting point is 00:27:22 and especially not in the United States. That's going to be a great reset. They've told you this a long time. They're going to reset the system. And what will come after will be based on some semblance of sound money, David, in my opinion, because of all of the failures previously. And a lot of these countries will re-monitize. their currency to gold.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I don't know what the United States is going to do. As a matter of fact, we're talking again about auditing Fort Knox, which is the last time we did it, was under Eisenhower. Nobody's seen it since. So I don't know if there, I don't know that there's any gold there or half the gold.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I don't know what's been promised or what's been, you know, IOUs like dumb and dumber. I don't know if it's something like that. But we're definitely, as the world's reserve currency, we have a real problem, right now. I think the alarm belt should be going off, especially with what's happening with the
Starting point is 00:28:17 price of energy and what's being converted away from that. I mean, the dollar usage is waning. And that's the, that's going to be a real issue for the power structure. Well, they tell us over and over again what their plans are. And then when we pick it up and we start talking about it, that's a bunch of conspiracy theories. You can't believe this. You know, and then they, and they use the fact we report on it on what they have said to basically give themselves cover and say, Don't worry about it. It's not really happening. So I got a couple of questions here for you and some comments. As a matter of fact, you were talking about Nero playing fiddle and Lance said Trump doesn't know how to play the fiddle.
Starting point is 00:28:50 That's why he's hosting an M.M.A match instead. It's more of his style. I've got a comment here from Guard Goldsmith. He says, I'm curious about gold and silver shipments to private brokers and dealers and the bricks and some of the African nations that are orienting towards Russia now. What are your comments about that, Tony? I don't know much about that. I have seen some intel about private buying because, yeah, we don't mention that enough. I mean, the multinationals are buying in a speed and a clip pretty much just like the central banks.
Starting point is 00:29:24 It's just, it's a lot more hidden. It's not as much transparency because there's no government official designation for a lot of these multinationals. But they're absolutely doing that. Guards right about that. I mean, where you've got and they're aligning, and he's correct. The future is not the Western dollar system. It's just not. It's not because of many factors,
Starting point is 00:29:48 but especially the weaponization of the dollar. I mean, when you've got Trump in there at the beginning of 25, saying that if you don't use the dollar, you're going to get 100% tariff on your country. Like, that's never happened before. It's so unprecedented.
Starting point is 00:30:03 It's not just about sanctions. It's not even just about entry in the United States. It's 100% tariff on all your products. you don't trade in dollars, well, no one's really going to observe that by threat. And that doesn't that doesn't bode well. So you're saying like it, they just, there's a quiet exodus from the dollar system and new systems. And so whatever bricks is building. And I think more of what bricks has done is about using technology for cross-border payment systems.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Then unifying one currency. I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, that's really what's going to happen, David. And we've been talking about this for years. I really do think that at the end of the day, gold will be used. Again, it will still have technology and maybe blockchain to solidify contracts and to back up whatever currency is there. But it'll be transparent in real time.
Starting point is 00:30:58 It won't be like the Fort Knox system with the United States where we're supposedly we have, you know, eight and a half, you know, 8,000 tons or whatever it is. Yeah, I think Bricks is really looking. like more like a confederacy than trying to create some kind of a union with one country in charge that may evolve into that with china in charge but right now they're trying to create this multilateral thing and I think you're right I think it is about the exchange of the money that is there I've got another question for you Hatchcar 612 asks has the U.S. meant halted production of silver eagles
Starting point is 00:31:33 not to my knowledge I have not I usually would know that they They do occasionally, like, halt for a minute and then catch up on supply, especially when there's a large demand. But I've gotten no. I do not know. I'll look into that and find out for next show. I haven't heard anything. I usually will get a notice from some of the mints that I do business with, but I haven't seen that.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Well, that's interesting. Anything else you want to tell us about what's going on at Wise Wolf? And again, just mentioned people, Wolfpack is a way that you can gradually accumulate gold and silver. you can determine what amount you want to do each month. And even if it's a small purchase, Tony will work with you to set up that small recurring purchase. So it's a great way to save money. You can save money in something that is not going to be losing value constantly,
Starting point is 00:32:25 like the U.S. dollar. So what else is going on at Wise Wolf, Tony? Oh, well, this week I had to go back to Texas. Then I'm up in Branson again. Just delivering product, making sure we get these packages out there we've got a lot of great stuff going into wolf pack right now i have done my best to find interesting um you know pieces of silver and other things that aren't in traditional uh you know bullion subscriptions that uh we you know i had funny i had a customer
Starting point is 00:32:55 uh recently that you know took his stuff to to a coin dealer because he wanted to verify i said well i i welcome that because a lot of the coins that you get are going to be worth more than the silver price. We just go through so much bulk, you know, with stuff. We just put even collectibles in there. So that's something I worked on this week is bringing a load of stuff that we bought in Texas up
Starting point is 00:33:17 here to Branson to sift through and to sort out. So that's something we're working on. We also got for Wolfpack, you can become an affiliate. It takes like two or three minutes to sign up. If you're interested in making a little extra money, you can go to Davidnight.govold.
Starting point is 00:33:33 You can go to Wolfpack and sign up as an affiliate or you can just send us an email. We'll send you a link. But that's the one way you can make a little extra cash by just sharing the link out with. It'll be your link. You can see what the sales are. We're really concentrating on that, David. I'm putting more of my infrastructure into the subscription program because I feel like everyday Americans and everyday people can still buy it. You know, the larger purchases are not as frequent as they used to be. A lot of people are just sitting on the sidelines. It's confusing out there. I mean, it's one of the weirdest. The The small levels of Wolfpack are that you get things like the goldbacks and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:34:11 which I think is really cool. I think that's such a useful thing. I mean, you know, especially when it comes to the point that we actually need to use it, if you've got something that's in a smaller denomination, which is what happens when you sign up for the lower levels of Wolfpack, now you've got something that's not like a million dollar gold bar or something, you know. In five years, goldback will be so ubiquitous. you won't recognize it. I've talked to some of the leadership of goldback.
Starting point is 00:34:39 They've actually come to visit me. I popped up on their radar because I was selling so many goldbacks and put them through who is this guy? How are you moving this many goldbacks? And they came and met with me and I told them what I do. And they're like, okay, well, we want to integrate you into our system. And they told me about how they use goldbacks and how it's creeping into like everyday, every day, even small towns and markets where people are just trading gold.
Starting point is 00:35:04 backs between each other. They were showing me these metrics. So there's a lot happening. Even, you know, new states are coming online. Texas will be soon. You'll have an official. Texas goldback.
Starting point is 00:35:14 There's many, many other states. And they're going to be used as currency. There will be. And the cool thing about gold back is the, it's not, I mean, it's obviously,
Starting point is 00:35:25 it's a fraction of a fraction of gold. So you've got 24-carat gold in the note itself. So you've got multiple value. But there's a fixed gold-gold-back exchange. rate. You can actually just download the app. And so when you're when you're doing it, it stays in a fixed system. And for as long as they can hold it, then they'll reset it again. Right now it's a fixed system. So whether you've got, you know, a half denomination or a five, like you just calculate what one goalback is. So when one goal back is listed, like I think it's a lot of eight dollars right now.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And you take the, the goal back and then you just multiply it or divide it by it. And it stays fixed. It's really cool. I think that's great. That's great. Having that app, I didn't know about that. that app for the gold banks. That's really important. Yeah. Goldback is, go back will be, in five years, there will be so much more ubiquitous. They're building us an infrastructure for a goldback currency exchange. Really cool. And we obviously, we take goldbacks at both my locations, or if you want to deal with us in goldbacks,
Starting point is 00:36:23 you can. It's a really neat system. That's great. Well, you've got a program immediately following this one as well, right, on Rumble as well as on X. Is that correct? Yes, sir. Immediately following this one, yes. Immediately following. We'll be live. I'll see if I can cook up a show here in the next five minutes or something.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Well, thank you, Tony. It's always great having you on, and I really do appreciate your support. One of our longest-term supporters, Tony Ardabon at Wise Wolf. And, of course, you can get there through David Knight.orgh as well. The Common Man. They created Common Core to Dumb Down Our Children. They created Common Past to track and control us. their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
Starting point is 00:37:21 They see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at the Davidnightshow.com.
