Borders were your go to source for cutting edge insights from
00:01:01
the world of finance. Of course, Genesis Gold Group
00:01:04

00:01:06
silver are integral part of a balanced portfolio.
00:01:09
Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been
00:01:11
more crucial. Join us as we explore the forces
00:01:14
shaping global markets, the power of precious metals,
00:01:18
digital assets, and the dynamics that influence economies across
00:01:21
the globe. George Ballantine, Round two,
00:01:25
brother Round 2. Round 2, it's pouring, raining
00:01:27
out. I did my physical therapy this
00:01:30
morning, but you know what? Round 21 more to go after this,
00:01:34
but you know, it's a pretty good financial week.
00:01:37
If I have to say, though, you know all those naysayers and you
00:01:41
know deniers, things are starting to look up.
00:01:45
Yeah, there's good stuff going on.
00:01:46
There's good stuff all across the the board.
00:01:48
But let's start off by just thanking our sponsor, of course,
00:01:51
Genesis Gold Group. I'm holding up a silver prepper
00:01:55
bar, the 62.2 grand prepper bar perforated, easily broken down
00:01:59
to your choice of three different denominations, fit a
00:02:01
multitude of needs. You know, you can use this for
00:02:04
asset protection from inflation or for economic turmoil or its
00:02:07
unique utility for barter and trade.
00:02:09
Prep Bar makes a perfect gift for all those precious metal
00:02:12
lovers out there. And with the digital dollar
00:02:13
company, you're going to want some security outside of that.
00:02:16
Because of course, with that digital dollar comes more
00:02:19
control of your money. If your credit cards aren't
00:02:21
working, your cash isn't working, you're going to want to
00:02:23
have a substitute. Gold and silver is the solution,
00:02:27
mined and minted in the US, so no worry about counterfeit
00:02:30
bullion. And there is a lot of that going
00:02:32
on. Forewarn you, of course, you
00:02:34
guys at Genesis Gold Group include an assay report all
00:02:37
ready to go. Head over to the big migbar.com.
00:02:39
That's right, the big migbar.com.
00:02:43
All caps prepper. PREPPER get 10% off on the
00:02:49
silver and 5% off on the gold. The big migbar.com.
00:02:54
Bring me off a piece of that prepper bar please.
00:03:00
Please. All right, lots to talk about
00:03:04
today, man. Lots on the move.
00:03:08
So a lot of people didn't think it would ever happen.
00:03:11
Of course, it finally has. The SEC and Ripple have settled
00:03:16
this, this lousy, crappy thing that was going on.
00:03:21
Yeah. That's on.
00:03:24
Finally, you know, they agreed to settle and I guess Ripple's
00:03:27
going to pay $50 million of the original $125 million penalty
00:03:32
with the best of the rest being returned to them.
00:03:35
So they actually got a discount. Of course, in the very
00:03:38
beginning, Gary Gensler was threatening just these crazy
00:03:41
fines and crazy penalties. And of course, both sides agreed
00:03:45
to drop their appeals of the court agrees to lift the
00:03:48
injunction placed on Ripple, which means Rippleites XRP
00:03:52
holders. Things are looking good.
00:03:57
Let's throw up the settlement agreement, George.
00:04:00
OK, we could do that. Just the announcement for it.
00:04:03
I got it right here. Boom Chaka laka laka laka boom
00:04:09
security. Brad Darlinghouse Yeah, this is
00:04:11
good news. I agree with you, George.
00:04:12
I'm excited about it, too. Could finally mean that the XRP
00:04:16
is on its way to new, new exciting times.
00:04:21
At the end of the day, you can't help but be excited when you see
00:04:23
things like that. And I think it's the
00:04:25
administration. Of course, I'm excited about
00:04:27
this administration. When it comes to crypto, it's a
00:04:29
big deal to get away from it, you know, to get away from this
00:04:33
restriction. And I think what's XRP?
00:04:35
It's already at $2.34. It just went 24239.
00:04:41
It's floating right now. Yeah.
00:04:43
And you know what, Lance, now that the settlement is
00:04:47
officially done and over with, all those Ndas, with all those
00:04:52
countries and different companies that Ripple has, they
00:04:57
can now start unleashing them and letting the public know.
00:05:00
I mean, this is, I think, just my opinion.
00:05:04
Ripple's going to start taking off people.
00:05:07
Yeah, and, you know, that SEC had put a restriction on XRP.
00:05:10
They weren't allowed to really, you know, disclose a lot of the
00:05:14
press. In the meantime, Ripple kept
00:05:16
working behind the scenes, making agreements with foreign
00:05:19
governments, financial institutions, banks.
00:05:22
And of course those were disclosed not completely, but in
00:05:26
the SEC legal documents between Ripple and the SEC, there was
00:05:31
some mention of around 3300 and some odd contracts that were
00:05:36
under NDA. And, you know, to me what that
00:05:40
did was falsely suppress the true value of XRP.
00:05:44
I think things are on the move now.
00:05:46
I think things are looking up. And I think the whole market in
00:05:48
general, I think you have to be excited, George, about the
00:05:51
market in general when it comes to crypto.
00:05:53
Well, we've got an administration that's finally
00:05:55
not going to cause a bunch of havoc.
00:05:58
I mean bitcoins what 102 and?
00:06:01
I was just going to go no bitcoins right now at 104.
00:06:04
Wow. So I honestly, you know what,
00:06:07
hold on Lance, you know it's I, what did I say it would be
00:06:13
100 like a week ago, right? Or a few weeks ago, I said that
00:06:16
about two weeks, but so if you look at now Bitcoin 104 and
00:06:24
what have we been talking about from our sponsor block
00:06:28
trustira.com. Yeah, maybe.
00:06:31
Maybe it's a good time to tell them about that.
00:06:32
Product. You know what, Lance?
00:06:33
That's what I was going to do. And let me just do say one
00:06:35
thing. Animus Technologies is the
00:06:38
number one AI, Bitcoin and Ethereum trading platform in the
00:06:42
world. They've been.
00:06:43
They've actually determined by outside companies that have
00:06:46
audited them. There's nobody better.
00:06:48
But go ahead, George. Alliance, I'm going to keep you
00:06:50
on the screen for this one, baby.
00:06:52
OK, let's do it. So block trustira.com, they are
00:06:55
your partner in your Bitcoin journey that's powered by Animus
00:06:58
Technologies. They are empowering all
00:07:00
Americans to take control of their financial future by
00:07:02
providing secure, intelligent, and accessible cryptocurrency
00:07:06
investment within the familiar structure of an IRA.
00:07:10
So in a world where traditional retirement strategies are
00:07:13
struggling to keep pace with inflation and economic
00:07:16
uncertainty, Block Trust IRA offers a clear alternative
00:07:21
geared to work with individual investors to cure their future
00:07:24
financial wealth. So if you have a four O 1K or an
00:07:28
IRA and you would like to transfer it over to block
00:07:30
trustira.com, you can do that. If you just want to start a new
00:07:35
IRA or 4O1K, you can do that too.
00:07:38
However, if you don't want to do neither and you just simply want
00:07:41
to invest, well, guess what, you could do that too, because they
00:07:44
are the AI, cryptocurrency IRA platform, the AI investments
00:07:49
that outperforms the market, market leading management and 0
00:07:54
hidden fees, Lance, that's 0 hidden fees and they trade over
00:07:57
60 different crypto currencies, rapidly accelerating your
00:08:01
retirement wealth. So you have the QR code right
00:08:04
here with me and Lance. You take a screenshot you get
00:08:06
both of us in the QR code, save it to your photo files and take
00:08:09
your right to block trustira.com and listen we went from from
00:08:17
104 today right Bitcoin about four weeks ago went down
00:08:22
to the 80s it fluctuated so with blockchust IRA.
00:08:26
What they do is their AI, their AI systems, they, they go
00:08:31
through so much where they notice the trends and they would
00:08:35
when they see it starting to to lower, they sell their Bitcoin
00:08:40
when they see that and they then it drops down, yadda, yadda.
00:08:43
When they see the trend start going back up, they buy back in.
00:08:45
So you can just think about the profits or your for your
00:08:48
retirement or just simply investing with them.
00:08:50
It's remarkable. And that's why they were what
00:08:53
Bitcoin Magazine is #1 plant. Yeah, yeah, Bitcoin Magazine did
00:08:57
did a contest for the top AI Bitcoin trading platforms in the
00:09:01
world. People competed from all over
00:09:03
the world and they gave away $1 in seed capital.
00:09:07
And Animus Technologies is the company that won that seed
00:09:10
capital. And what's incredible is you
00:09:12
have to remember that the crypto market is 24/7 365.
00:09:17
It's not like exchanges, you know, like the and the Hang Seng
00:09:20
and, and you know, the Dow or S&P, the clothes that have a
00:09:24
limited amount of hours. So you really need something
00:09:27
like this to manage your portfolio.
00:09:28
And if you want to participate in crypto block trust IRA is the
00:09:32
way to do it. Jonathan Rose and the team over
00:09:34
there, really good people. You know, we've been doing
00:09:36
business with them in Genesis Gold Group.
00:09:37
This is a new entity of theirs and I've got to tell you, Jacob
00:09:41
Diaz and the rest of them have really hit this one out of the
00:09:43
ballpark. It's a great opportunity.
00:09:45
If nothing else, contact them today and say, hey, I always saw
00:09:48
you guys on the Big Mink show and I want to just ask you about
00:09:51
it now. Again, these guys are a sponsor,
00:09:52
but I we really believe in this product.
00:09:54
We own the product ourselves. It's a great product.
00:09:57
It's a great way to participate in the market.
00:09:59
I'm excited that you guys have an opportunity to get involved
00:10:02
in it. So check it out.
00:10:04
Block trustira.com. All right.
00:10:08
So a lot of people think this is a massive turning point for the
00:10:13
US and I think they may very well be right.
00:10:18
There's lots of talk right now that if you're not invested in
00:10:21
the markets, if you're not invested in digital assets, you
00:10:25
might be making a big mistake. You know, we always say you want
00:10:27
to be diversified, you want to have a certain amount of your
00:10:29
portfolio, have some gold and silver on hand, have that just
00:10:32
in case it's, you know, but I think I think some of the long
00:10:36
term, the short term pain is going away and what we're going
00:10:41
to see here is long term gain. Donald Trump feels like it.
00:10:45
He made a public statement. It says, you know, you better go
00:10:48
out and buy stocks. Now.
00:10:49
This country is going to be like a rocket ship.
00:10:51
He's very optimistic about what the impact of them collecting
00:10:54
tariffs. And I think, George, I'm going
00:10:56
to make a prediction. Let it RIP, Lance.
00:10:59
I want to hear it. I think that that there's going
00:11:04
to be such massive income tax breaks on the federal income tax
00:11:09
that people are going to be shocked.
00:11:10
I either see them going down to a very, very, very low flat
00:11:14
rate, maybe with the potential to completely wipe out capital
00:11:20
gains tax and or I could see them even completely wiping out
00:11:26
the federal income tax at certain levels that's coming out
00:11:30
of DC guys, just so you know. So very interesting.
00:11:36
I just want to put another statement out there, right,
00:11:39
because I don't want to hear the left and the media saying, oh,
00:11:42
Trump was insider trading. He just told everybody once
00:11:45
again, what do you do? Told everybody you better buy
00:11:50
stocks now, right? That's what he's saying.
00:11:53
Last time you said you better buy something, he put it out and
00:11:56
then you all want to accuse him of trading or making his friends
00:12:01
richer. This and that.
00:12:02
No, he told the whole world. Matter of fact, he's telling the
00:12:04
whole world again, you better buy stocks now.
00:12:07
Yeah, I don't see this being a private message.
00:12:09
I don't think this is a private message, George.
00:12:10
I feel like since it's on the news, it's a public message.
00:12:13
I mean how much more clearer can you get?
00:12:15
Better buy stock now. Let's play the clip.
00:12:18
Let's yeah, look at that. Better buy stock now, Liz.
00:12:24
You better go out and buy stock. Now, let me tell you this.
00:12:27
This country will will be like a rocket ship that they go
00:12:30
straight up. This is going to be numbers that
00:12:32
nobody's ever seen before. That's a very important element
00:12:36
of all of this. You know, if we get that, if you
00:12:38
don't and the Democrats are fighting it only because they
00:12:41
want to fight, they have Trump Derangement syndrome.
00:12:43
You know, if it was somebody else, they wouldn't fight.
00:12:45
If you had a normal person who had some stiff sitting behind
00:12:48
you, they'd be fine. But they have Trump Derangement
00:12:52
syndrome. You know, Senator Schumer has
00:12:54
become a Palestinian welcome. I, I don't know when they're
00:12:58
going to give him the ceremony, whatever the ceremony may be.
00:13:02
It's terrible what's happened to the Democrats.
00:13:04
So very, very important element of, of everything of what we're
00:13:09
doing unrelated to today, but related in the sense that we'll
00:13:14
do if that passes, we'll do even more business with the UK.
00:13:17
We'll have so much it's. You know, if you just, if you're
00:13:24
so worried about tariffs, just buy made in the USA or move the
00:13:27
companies here because even the Pope avoided tariffs.
00:13:31
He's made in the USA too, right? The new Pope made in Chicago,
00:13:35
he's made in the USA, so you know.
00:13:39
People, there's no doubt that these historic tariff agreements
00:13:42
are going to have a massive impact for people.
00:13:44
Historically, just so you know, this country was never supposed
00:13:47
to have federal income tax. It was supposed to be run on the
00:13:51
ports duties and tariff fees. That's what the founders had in
00:13:54
mind and that's how we were supposed to run the country.
00:13:57
Federal income tax was supposed to be a temporary solution to
00:14:01
overcome some debt issues the the US had accumulated.
00:14:04
But of course, it's also because they weren't doing a good job on
00:14:07
the ports duties and tariffs. And that is what Trump is trying
00:14:10
to get us back to. But the UK landmark agreement,
00:14:14
this USUK trade agreement, you know, it's absolutely in the
00:14:19
favor of the US. And that's what's going to
00:14:21
happen with every country if they want to do business here.
00:14:22
That includes China. China's having horrendous issues
00:14:26
right now. For you people over there that
00:14:27
are underestimating what's going on in the Chinese market, don't
00:14:31
be fooled. They're in serious trouble.
00:14:34
They're they've got major layoffs.
00:14:36
The people are, you know, going out and buying 414 dollar one
00:14:40
meals, which is a four one meal. I don't mean dollar, I mean Wan,
00:14:43
the Chinese Wan, a very inexpensive meal, mostly noodles
00:14:46
and vegetables. That's what people are living
00:14:48
on. They're living on noodle cups.
00:14:50
I can tell you that a lot of the shopping places are are their
00:14:55
numbers are dropping. We saw a 22% decrease in online
00:14:59
buying in China along with their retail sales going into the tank
00:15:03
because people don't have any disposable income.
00:15:05
So they're not spending money and they were already in
00:15:07
teetering on insolvency. So I can tell you that if they
00:15:10
don't hurry up and make a deal, they're going to have a major
00:15:12
problem. It's not going to be enough just
00:15:14
to say we're not going to send the precursor chemicals to the
00:15:17
US because I believe they have some back channel stuff.
00:15:20
Now. Listen, if you guys want to know
00:15:21
more about this, you can always tune into the regular big men
00:15:23
show over on Rumble. We cover a lot of this, you
00:15:26
know, our car, a lot of our shows have some overlap.
00:15:28
You know, we talk about crypto, talk about finance, you know
00:15:31
that the big men shows a rumble as a Joe Rogan style show on
00:15:36
rumble. That's what we do.
00:15:37
You know, we had we we we've had great guests.
00:15:39
We had a great guest today, Martha Fayne.
00:15:41
If you know her, she's a big deal.
00:15:43
She's one of the runner and gunner show some amazing events
00:15:46
at Mar a Lago that I've attended and she's going to be throwing
00:15:50
some incredible events coming up this year.
00:15:51
She hobnobs with all the top celebrities and top political
00:15:54
leaders, including Donald Trump. So, but I can tell you that this
00:15:58
template, George, this is how they're going to proceed.
00:16:01
Peter Navarro, who I'm a fan of, he's a senior counselor to the
00:16:05
administration. You know that he was before they
00:16:07
went after him because of his relationship with Trump.
00:16:09
He stayed strong. He's back in the saddle and he's
00:16:12
saying this is how they're going to do things.
00:16:14
Either sign up or don't get up. This is the template, right?
00:16:21
Yo, they're giving good deals. It's it's, it's long overdue
00:16:27
that you guys, other countries been taking advantage of the
00:16:29
United States. We're always helping everybody.
00:16:32
You know what? I need help.
00:16:33
Lance needs help. The big, big Moffy needs help
00:16:35
now. Can we get a magic money
00:16:37
computer please? Please Elon Musk?
00:16:40
Can we get a magic money computer brother?
00:16:42
I mean, all right, but it's just, you know, let's.
00:16:45
Play the clip bro, let's. Play it all right the.
00:16:49
UK troops and American troops walked hand in hand and
00:16:54
liberated Europe. And it's it's symbolic that the
00:16:59
liberation from the trade war that's being waged against
00:17:03
America starts today with this great deal between the UK and
00:17:08
the United States. There's going to be a lot of
00:17:10
these to come. Trust in Trump.
00:17:12
He promised you that he would do this kind of thing.
00:17:15
But I think that the, the bigger part of this deal will, if you
00:17:20
break it down is, is it's a template for how we are
00:17:24
proceeding with all the other countries.
00:17:27
You know, it's like fingerprints.
00:17:28
They all cheat us in different ways.
00:17:30
So you have to attack their higher tariffs, the non tariff
00:17:35
barriers, which in many ways are the worst part of the whole
00:17:37
problem, the digital taxes and all of this IP theft and all of
00:17:42
that. So this is, this is a good deal.
00:17:44
I want to make one small correction there.
00:17:46
So this doesn't take on a life of its own.
00:17:49
We're not getting rid of all tariffs on steel and aluminum.
00:17:53
There will be an alternate agreement that we're hashing
00:17:55
out. The Brits are going to be very
00:17:57
happy with that, but that's not what we're doing.
00:18:03
The Brits will be happy though. You know what?
00:18:06
You ain't got a choice. Take it or leave it.
00:18:09
And I have to say this for anybody, that anybody in in
00:18:12
politics that's talking crap about these tariff deals,
00:18:16
they're doing the American public a disservice.
00:18:18
They're doing you a disservice in the audience.
00:18:20
It doesn't matter. I don't care what your political
00:18:22
beliefs are. You know, this is a finance
00:18:24
show. None of that matters to me.
00:18:25
What matters to me is a great, strong country with strong
00:18:29
policies and these foreign policies they're putting in
00:18:32
place for tariffs are important, they're necessary.
00:18:35
And I'd love to see tax breaks for all the Americans out there.
00:18:38
You guys can talk about it in the chat.
00:18:39
And by the way, we want to thank you guys for compelling us and
00:18:42
pushing us forward to being the number One Financial and Rumble.
00:18:45
We appreciate that. We're going to continue to
00:18:47
probably lift the bar on this show, bring you the right guests
00:18:49
in the interviews. I've got a really good interview
00:18:51
that I'm lining up now that I think you guys will be excited
00:18:53
about. But in the meantime, thanks for
00:18:56
all the help. But the Banjima Army converts,
00:18:58
of course, the big, big mafia, all you guys have come over to
00:19:00
the finance show to support us. It's a big deal for us.
00:19:03
We really appreciate it. And let Rumble know you can
00:19:05
always go over to Chris Pavlovsky feed or Rumbles feed
00:19:08
on X or true social or any of the other platforms and just
00:19:13
jump into their feet and say, hey, we love the big, big show.
00:19:15
We love the global finance farm. And don't forget today the
00:19:17
crypto power hour. We've got a big guest, one of
00:19:21
the guys early on the team at Polygon and you know they can
00:19:25
control 40% of the traffic out there on the in the blockchain.
00:19:29
They're doing crazy transactions, making big moves.
00:19:32
He's going to explain it from the ground level of how what
00:19:34
that means. Polygon is a great opportunity.
00:19:36
I always recommend learning about what I consider the top of
00:19:39
the food chain in companies in cryptocurrency.
00:19:42
So join us for the Crypto Power Hour at 3:00 PM.
00:19:44
That'll be our third and last show of the day, running and
00:19:47
gunning like we do. U.S. companies are jumping on
00:19:49
board with this enthusiasm. They've announced $233.8 billion
00:19:55
in stock buybacks in April, the second highest amount since the
00:20:00
data began in 1984. This is a sharp reversal.
00:20:05
From the 39.1 billion announced in March and the least since
00:20:09
October 2020, that's the what was now year to date, repurchase
00:20:12
announcements have reached a record 665.1 billion.
00:20:17
Now, if that doesn't tell you that when insiders are buying
00:20:20
and the companies are buying back stock, you have to know
00:20:24
what the market's going to do. That is a signal and I can tell
00:20:27
you that's as that's as strong a single as you're ever going to
00:20:30
get. So for you people out there that
00:20:31
are in Wall Street, this is telling you go, go, go take the
00:20:36
ball down field. Do not look back.
00:20:40
You, you know, pass, go collect the 200, do whatever you got to
00:20:43
do, but get that money moving. Money moving.
00:20:47
So you're saying this is a good thing?
00:20:50
I'm saying this is as positive as it gets because look how
00:20:54
early we are in the year with this massive buyback.
00:20:56
And they're telling you, they're basically signaling to you we're
00:20:59
buying our stock because we think it's undervalued at this
00:21:01
point based on where the market's heading.
00:21:04
And what a strong reversal. When you look at what the how
00:21:07
these guys reacted to the tariffs, which was really just
00:21:11
tariffs everybody worried about, you know, Oh my God, what's
00:21:15
going to happen including Congress and all the mainstream
00:21:18
media just bitching and moaning. This is telling you what to do.
00:21:22
This is an obvious sign right now XRP is up 100% in sales.
00:21:27
That's a signal when you see buyers buying, you have to get
00:21:31
on top of that momentum and that includes XRP and that includes
00:21:33
the stock market, Bitcoin 104.
00:21:36
These are positive signals coming on and I think right now
00:21:41
we're going to start turning the corner and as more as these
00:21:43
tariffs deals. I'm going out on a limb here
00:21:44
George, and you can stop me. You can stop me from jumping
00:21:47
I'm. Going to let you go I'm.
00:21:49
Jumping off the Cliff right now. I'm telling you right now that
00:21:52
this is just the beginning as they close these deals and there
00:21:56
are 100 countries already in full negotiation process as they
00:22:00
close these deals, those are going to be positive signs.
00:22:04
Watch the digital asset MarketWatch the stock market,
00:22:07
but don't sit on the sidelines. Talk to your financial advisors.
00:22:10
This isn't financial advice. This is common sense.
00:22:16
Common sense is not so common with some people though I will
00:22:19
say if you know, look 1st 100 days, President Trump has done
00:22:28
more than any other president and you can't we always we talk
00:22:32
about this. You can't always look at the
00:22:33
economy of what he inherited 4 years of, of so much damage to
00:22:39
be fixed in 100 days. However, if you look at the
00:22:43
track record, Ron, it's going to, it's getting better, things
00:22:48
are being fixed. It's going to take more time,
00:22:50
right? Short term gain for long.
00:22:53
No short term pain for long term gain but.
00:22:55
You you you did a reverse. Reversal.
00:22:58
Yeah, but you know what? So I'm going to give you an
00:23:06
example. So when I've come into
00:23:09
businesses where I got hired as AGM to, you know, because they
00:23:12
had problems and stuff and it's relevant with business,
00:23:15
different style businesses and you go and you get hired to fix
00:23:18
it. You're going to look at like you
00:23:21
try to do as best you can, but you look, some of the workers
00:23:23
will look at you as like the bad person because now you're making
00:23:26
them change, change your ways and, and everything's going to
00:23:29
get changed. And I always tell them says, you
00:23:31
know what, just wait. I says you'll be making more
00:23:34
money. Just wait.
00:23:35
Be patient and you're you're the disruptor and you, but you're
00:23:42
disrupting things in a for to be better in a good way and it and
00:23:46
it takes time it but I tell you always at the end of the road on
00:23:50
that everything got better for the workers, the business,
00:23:53
everybody. So it's just going to take time.
00:23:56
You know, I like disruptors are, I think good because that means
00:23:59
you're doing something positive. Disrupt them.
00:24:03
You know what Trump is doing. You know he's shaking up the.
00:24:05
World no doubt listen it it's going to take a while This isn't
00:24:09
easy it's never going to be easy sure I'd like to see the
00:24:11
government make make some governmental arrests.
00:24:15
I know they're going after Leticia James, but we're talking
00:24:17
about the finances of the United States here on this show.
00:24:19
And what I'm telling you is this is the time to get on board talk
00:24:23
to your financial advisors double down if you can make the
00:24:26
right moves. I'm I'm not telling you don't
00:24:28
have some security. You've got your fall back plan
00:24:30
because we talk about gold and silver all the time.
00:24:32
I know gold's down right now. We're going to talk talk about
00:24:34
that in a minute. But if you bought gold a year
00:24:36
ago, you wouldn't be down. You're up.
00:24:38
You're just down from its high. And that's a lot of what's going
00:24:42
on now. They're talking about gold falls
00:24:43
more than 1% after Trump announces UK trade deal.
00:24:46
And that's probably going to happen.
00:24:47
We might see some pull back and we're going to see some profit
00:24:50
taking in gold and silver. You know.
00:24:52
Because again, China's loosening its gold import quotas.
00:24:55
And I think part of the impact, George, and I'm going to throw
00:24:58
to you, I think some of this stuff that's going on is because
00:25:03
the bricks thing is not looking as hot to trot and good as it
00:25:07
did a little while ago. Well.
00:25:09
I'm going to go back on tariffs real quick.
00:25:11
I'm going to say something. Yeah.
00:25:13
If tariffs didn't work, then how come the other countries been
00:25:18
tariffing us in other countries for forever excessively, right.
00:25:22
If if they don't work. But now you have to look, you're
00:25:25
going to look at like all these people in Congress, and this is
00:25:29
both sides because we have a lot of Republicans too trying to
00:25:31
fight back. All are trying to take the power
00:25:32
of tariffs away from Trump must be looking like idiots.
00:25:37
And I'm just going to say start primarying them, vote them out
00:25:42
because they don't know what they're doing.
00:25:43
They're out for their own agenda, not for the American
00:25:45
people. Tariffs work if done properly
00:25:48
and correctly because let's face it, the UK had tariffs on us and
00:25:52
we're there was a trade deficit and we weren't hitting tariffs
00:25:55
back like we are now. But if they didn't work, then
00:25:58
why did UK have all these tariffs?
00:26:00
Why did China have these tariffs?
00:26:01
India, Canada, all of them. We just had past presidents that
00:26:09
for some ungodly reason, let everybody take advantage of us.
00:26:14
That shit's over. Done.
00:26:16
They now what we need. What now what we need, Lance, is
00:26:19
law put into place to make sure that tariffs always reciprocal.
00:26:23
They're fair, not like they were before.
00:26:27
Can we see that? Probably not because Congress
00:26:29
sucks. They can't even freaking get an
00:26:33
attorney and produce the attorney they're.
00:26:34
Pathetic. I agree with you.
00:26:36
But here's the deal. There's lots of tariff, tariff
00:26:38
deals getting negotiated right now.
00:26:39
They're all going to come to the table.
00:26:41
Even China. I'm predicting that China is
00:26:42
going to come today quicker than you think they are because they
00:26:45
don't have a choice. If they don't get this back
00:26:48
online, and I'm not telling you it's going to come back online
00:26:50
all the way because Trump is not going to be very forgiving about
00:26:53
it. At the end of the day, if they
00:26:55
don't get this back online, they are in serious, serious trouble.
00:26:59
I'm telling you this. I know it.
00:27:01
We've been doing the research. George and I, we did a show the
00:27:03
other day called Paper Tiger Burning.
00:27:05
I think. I don't remember the exact
00:27:06
title, but if you want to see that show, we have some, we have
00:27:09
some original content clips out of China that we we gathered
00:27:13
from some some different, you know, offshore and online sites.
00:27:17
And I want to tell you, you want to go over there and check out
00:27:20
that episode and you'll find out exactly what's going on.
00:27:22
It's important to know that. But of course, gold, you know,
00:27:25
now it's back up today. We started off where we dropped
00:27:28
1%. I think it's back up to 3348.
00:27:31
We were at 33 O 7 on the gold spot price.
00:27:34
So that's 30. Back up right there on the
00:27:36
screen tickers 3343. Yeah, so it's back up again.
00:27:41
Gold and silver are part of your long term investment portfolio.
00:27:45
I'm not telling you to bet the farm.
00:27:46
I'm saying make sure you have some of it on hand and hold on
00:27:50
to it. Don't buy stock.
00:27:51
Don't buy the gold Sox. Buy the actual bullion.
00:27:55
Put it in your stock drawer, your safety deposit box, in your
00:27:57
home safe. Hide it somewhere in your
00:27:59
basement so that just in case you ever need it, it's there
00:28:02
because had you bought gold and silver when we first started?
00:28:05
Really pushing you guys and letting you know about it a year
00:28:08
and a half ago. You'd be way up right now.
00:28:10
So these little these little ruminations, these movements
00:28:13
back and forth would be very unimportant because of course,
00:28:15
let's talk about Trump and the British Prime Minister Kerr
00:28:17
Starmer, that this is a breakthrough deal.
00:28:19
That's what's impacting it. They and if they and that right
00:28:24
now, this is the kind of a statement that was made by the
00:28:26
Trump administration. If we also get a deal ironed out
00:28:30
between the US and China, there'll be a lot of resistance
00:28:32
to the upside and cold gold is going to trade back.
00:28:35
So you got to understand this. There's going to be some upside
00:28:37
about that, some downside. Every time you, you bring that
00:28:40
point up, Lance, I I have to go back and say this because, yeah,
00:28:44
last year, January 2024, the price of gold per oz was 2063.
00:28:52
That's 2063. What is it now?
00:28:57
3300? What did we say?
00:28:58
Let me see 3344 from 2063 to 30, look at the difference in profit
00:29:05
margin right there. And it's a great hedge against
00:29:08
geopolitical uncertainty. You have to realize that it's a
00:29:10
great hedge. You'd be up 30 some percent had
00:29:13
you listened to us. And I think we actually started
00:29:15
recommending gold, at least telling you guys about gold.
00:29:18
It wasn't so much a financial recommendation saying, hey, you
00:29:20
might want to think about gold and silver.
00:29:22
I think it was at 1900 and change, if I remember correctly.
00:29:25
That's kind of what's in my head that we started talking about
00:29:27
gold and silver quite a bit. And a lot of people think, oh,
00:29:29
it's for preppers. It's not for preppers.
00:29:31
It's for everyone. Nobody doesn't like gold and
00:29:33
silver. Having a couple of those gold
00:29:35
Krugerrands or the Maple Leafs or the Eagles in your drawer
00:29:38
always makes you feel good. All right, stay tuned to the
00:29:42
Global Finance Forum. We come back.
00:29:45
We'll be talking about the Saudi silence standoff.
00:29:49
It seems like the Saudis might be ghosting bricks.
00:29:52
That's big news if true. And the Chinese have pulled back
00:29:56
and accumulating gold, another sign that maybe bricks isn't
00:29:59
going the way it should be. Global Finance Forum with George

that Saudi Arabia is treading cautiously on full bricks
00:33:56
membership. Gee, I wonder why they're
00:33:58
signaling hesitant to upset his strategic relationship with the
00:34:02
United States. Damn right they are.
00:34:04
I'm going to. I'm going to say they're going
00:34:06
to probably pull 4 out. But sorry Raby, they're flirting
00:34:11
with a multi polar future and it's not ready to burn bridges
00:34:15
with Washington. They don't want to do that with
00:34:17
Trump, but that will not be good for them.
00:34:21
Well, here's the thing, you know, as everybody knows.
00:34:23
Treasury. Secretary Treasury Secretary
00:34:26
Scott Besant and the US Trade Representatives Jameson Greer.
00:34:31
They're set to meet with China's top economic officials on
00:34:34
Saturday in Switzerland. You know, and of course, like
00:34:37
George said, George is going to be, I mean, Trump is going to be
00:34:42
in Saudi Arabia here very quickly.
00:34:44
So this silent stand up. I think what we're seeing here
00:34:47
is some hesitancy that they're not.
00:34:49
They were very confident on the Biden administration about what
00:34:51
the success of BRICS could be. Now we see that, you know,
00:34:56
groups like Saudi Arabia, countries like Saudi Arabia are
00:34:59
actually not sure about full BRICS membership.
00:35:02
They're worried about what that could do to impact their
00:35:04
relationships to the United States.
00:35:06
Donald Trump has made it very clear that he's not going to
00:35:09
accept anybody, you know, undermining the US dollar in any
00:35:14
way. So Saudi Arabia hasn't finalized
00:35:17
their BRICS membership, as you guys know, even though it it it,
00:35:20
it did signal that it was going to join.
00:35:23
And I think this, this delay stems from its reliance on US
00:35:26
security partnerships, you know, the Petro dollar, because that
00:35:31
was always the plan, right, for BRICS to destabilize the
00:35:33
petrodollar and actually replace it.
00:35:37
So I don't know, even Russia, I think is, is wondering about
00:35:41
BRICS. We've heard some comments coming
00:35:43
out of that administration about it.
00:35:45
I think this move is signalling the BRICS may not be ready yet
00:35:48
to rival Western institutions without a lot of consequences.
00:35:52
And with Donald Trump in the seat, George, I think these
00:35:55
countries are playing with fire if they continue to push this
00:35:57
forward. I think so too.
00:36:01
I mean, I would like to see, is there going to be another event
00:36:05
with Trump getting the sword and doing the sword dance?
00:36:08
I don't know. That was always a weird thing.
00:36:10
I never really knew what that was all about.
00:36:11
Sign of respect, give it hand. It's it's their traditions that
00:36:17
they hold value. But a lot of people tried to
00:36:18
read more into that than I think it was.
00:36:21
You know, you had all the queue guys jumping on board with that.
00:36:24
Oh, look, what's going on? Trump's going to be the world
00:36:26
leader. You know, it's all weird.
00:36:28
But I think what's really important about Saudi Arabia,
00:36:30
you know, they've got a technique, right?
00:36:31
Saudi Arabia always kind of remains quiet, calculated, non
00:36:34
committal on a lot of things. You hear them come out, of
00:36:37
course, they swing a big bat because they've got a ton of
00:36:39
money. Of course, petroleum at the base
00:36:42
of that. You know, I think even though
00:36:44
despite this formal invitation and a lot of enthusiasts out of
00:36:48
the gate, since they haven't signed officially on the dotted
00:36:51
line, I'd have to say that this is this is a big sign and it may
00:36:56
be very well that they're going to pull completely out.
00:36:59
Even though I know the Kingdom, they've definitely deepened
00:37:01
their ties with China. They've hosted all the Russian
00:37:04
envoys. They've diversified all their
00:37:06
oil dealings and non dollar denominations.
00:37:08
You can buy oil there now and non dollar.
00:37:11
But when bricks made this big announcement about a new member,
00:37:14
they sat quietly and refrained from fully committing.
00:37:18
I think that's even though I think there's technical
00:37:21
discussions going on, at least that's what we hear.
00:37:24
I think this really kind of this is a real statement here.
00:37:28
I mean, look, there's a difference between exploring
00:37:30
your alternatives and abandoning your foundations.
00:37:34
You know, this is what the Gulf analysts who requested an
00:37:37
anonymity said. So you know Saudi's keeping his
00:37:40
options open as they should. Like they always do.
00:37:43
Yeah, they're, they're not dumb. They know what you know, they're
00:37:45
smart. But now if it was Biden, they
00:37:50
would be bricks all the way. But now, because Trump's in the
00:37:52
picture, you have a real leader. I ain't going to take shit too.
00:37:57
They're going to they'll rethink their options now they're going
00:38:00
to look at the pros and cons of everything with this deal.
00:38:04
Because I mean, me person, my opinion with with strong
00:38:08
leaders, I don't think bricks would survive.
00:38:12
But I could be wrong. We could be wrong.
00:38:13
Here's my take. I think it would.
00:38:15
Be better though. Hold.
00:38:17
On well, here's here's my if. The United States went back to
00:38:23
the gold standard. Yeah.
00:38:25
Do we have any gold? Are we ever going to do the Fort
00:38:27
Knox? Gold, I told you it's not in
00:38:29
Fort Knox. Fort Knox Fort Knox audit what?
00:38:31
What audit there's? No, there's no gold in Fort
00:38:35
Knox. I'm going to keep saying that
00:38:37
there's none. There might be.
00:38:39
Well, there's not. There might be some, but not
00:38:41
what you people expect. That's why they only value out
00:38:43
of $60.00 an ounce. Lance and.
00:38:44
That's why there's no audit. Is it kind of like the Epstein
00:38:46
files? Audit.
00:38:48
What's an audit? Audit Epstein files.
00:38:51
What Epstein files? All right, here's my take.
00:38:56
I think Saudi Arabia is very good at playing both sides of
00:38:59
the chess board. Of course, we know now it's
00:39:01
taking Juan for oil, which is dealing in Juan.
00:39:04
Of course, it's talking up bricks.
00:39:07
It's making headlines with all these, you know, Belt and Rd.
00:39:10
Initiative, China broker deals. But it's still doing all its
00:39:14
banking in dollars and it's arming itself through the
00:39:19
Department of Defense and the Pentagon and it's hosting U.S.
00:39:22
troops. If that's not a a fickle
00:39:25
mistress, it's just floating around between all her sugar
00:39:28
daddies. I don't know what it is, George.
00:39:31
I mean, this is clearly, you know, it's, yeah, this is she's
00:39:36
this is to me is the fickle mistress with all her little
00:39:39
sugar daddies. And she's over here with China
00:39:41
and she's over here with Russia and she's over here with the US
00:39:44
getting the best of all worlds. You know, they're, they're, you
00:39:47
know, they're sophisticated business people.
00:39:49
They've got a lot of money and they know how to use that
00:39:51
leverage. So sugar Daddy, can I have some
00:39:54
more please? Are you tired of winning?
00:39:59
Yeah. They're not tired of winning.
00:40:03
To find they, I mean Saudi. Arabia.
00:40:09
Listen, they got they got a lot of money.
00:40:13
I mean, and they're actually, you know, I will say I give them
00:40:17
props because they invest their money very wisely.
00:40:21
One thing that I'll say in that in that region though, and I
00:40:24
won't understand this is, is it Dubai or the UAE?
00:40:28
And they're bringing in Disney over there and it's hard to
00:40:32
understand because they're so against, you know, the gay stuff
00:40:36
and all that. It's like, and they're bringing
00:40:38
in Walt Disney. Disney better turn it around
00:40:41
quickly because their shareholders are not very happy
00:40:44
with that. I I guarantee you that wherever,
00:40:47
wherever I think it's in UAE, but or for Dubai, but wherever
00:40:52
that Disney place is, there ain't going to be no gayness in
00:40:55
there, no characters, none of that crap.
00:40:58
They won't allow it. No no, no pronoun.
00:41:00
Disney characters for the Dubai people.
00:41:01
What? Hell no.
00:41:05
All right, you know. It was China.
00:41:11
I got to tell you, I'm going to, I'm going to cover this, but I
00:41:14
don't believe this is accurate. I think this is fake news and
00:41:18
that's why I stuck it in here. Yeah, fake news.
00:41:21
But. But unlike regular mainstream
00:41:23
media, we're going to preemptively tell you this.
00:41:25
China's been promoting. They're saying that their
00:41:27
exports have surged as shipments to Southeast Asian countries
00:41:31
offset plunge in U.S. trade. I do believe this is accurate.
00:41:38
I think these are, these are fake numbers put out by China.
00:41:42
What I'm understanding from the shipping companies, all their
00:41:45
shipping is down. Specifically the US shipping is
00:41:47
down, but all their shipping is down.
00:41:49
And I, I went behind the scenes and I checked with a bunch of
00:41:53
the shipping companies numbers that were being posted to see if
00:41:57
this was accurate and I'm crying bullshit.
00:42:00
This is not accurate. They're talking about all their,
00:42:04
even though they're outbound shipments to the US plunged 21%
00:42:07
and I'm hearing it's more like 2728%.
00:42:11
And their imports, of course, dropped nearly 14%.
00:42:14
They're saying their exports in general jumped 81 point 1%,
00:42:19
according to the data released by their customs authority.
00:42:24
Now, Chinese government agencies are notorious for putting out
00:42:30
the information that the CCP tells them to put out.
00:42:33
I'm hearing this from shipping companies.
00:42:35
I'm not hearing from the Chinese shipping companies, but all the
00:42:37
other companies that all their shipping is down.
00:42:41
Why is that? Because there's a lot of
00:42:43
economies. It isn't all of a sudden that
00:42:45
the US economy is cutting shipments because of tariffs.
00:42:48
And of course, even our economies made it difficult
00:42:51
because of course a lot of people have suffered under
00:42:52
inflation. But that means that we're we're
00:42:55
not the only ones, guys. So when you see news like this,
00:42:58
I want you to think outside the box.
00:43:01
I want you to use your common sense and say, well, how can I
00:43:04
find out if this is really accurate?
00:43:07
And you do what I said. You go check with the shipping
00:43:09
companies. You go take a look at their
00:43:11
numbers and what they're posting, how their first quarter
00:43:14
of the year was, how their last quarter of the year was, And
00:43:17
you're going to see that the shipping is down, not up.
00:43:20
So how the hell are they landing these goods?
00:43:22
What are they sending them by? They must have one of the Star
00:43:24
Trek transponder, you know, transporters.
00:43:27
Beam me up some goods, Scotty. Yeah, it doesn't work like that.
00:43:32
It goes by ship or plane. Well, on our Tuesday segment
00:43:36
about China, we showed video and stuff about how the ports are.
00:43:40
Some of them are like obsolete. There's ghost towns.
00:43:42
George, can you pull up one of those videos?
00:43:44
Not right now, no. That'd be great if you could.
00:43:47
I'd like to share that. No, but what we in some of the
00:43:53
videos when we talk about people that plants manufacturers, they
00:43:57
said that they would have they would ship job ship to another
00:44:00
country to try to get the products to the United States.
00:44:02
So in it could be somewhat that what those numbers are
00:44:06
reflecting Lance, because they're in order to try to get
00:44:08
around the tariffs, they'll take the products from China, ship it
00:44:12
to another country and then from there ship it to US to get
00:44:15
around it. But I will tell you that the
00:44:17
shipping company's numbers are down.
00:44:21
So to me. Well, they're going to be down,
00:44:23
yes, but they're not going to be.
00:44:27
They're down a lot, yeah, but I'm just saying like slightly,
00:44:29
some of this manufacturer, not all of them are going to do it.
00:44:34
But all you have to do is if, if our custom agents, they look at
00:44:37
anything coming in and look where it's made.
00:44:39
Unless China is putting on fake stuff made somewhere else, you
00:44:43
never know with them bastards. Made in India, right?
00:44:47
Fresh on the shelf. Well, the Chinese government,
00:44:49
they're, they're definitely trying to help the exporters
00:44:50
divert sales to the home market. But the home market market's not
00:44:54
buying it. The home market economically
00:44:56
isn't doing well. Their real estate market is
00:44:58
tanked. Their, their, their, their,
00:45:02
their savings rate has gone way down.
00:45:04
The Chinese have notoriously had excessively high savings rates.
00:45:09
The people are living, they're living on less.
00:45:11
And I mean, don't get me wrong, they're pretty thrifty people.
00:45:13
They do a good job of it. But I think they're going to
00:45:16
drive themselves into deeper deflation.
00:45:20
So that's really important. But I do believe that the
00:45:23
Chinese government is going to try to settle this trade war as
00:45:25
quickly as possible. But I can tell you they're not
00:45:28
going to settle it to their benefit because Trump isn't
00:45:31
going to do that. They've been, they've been
00:45:32
taking advantage of us for too long and he wants to see
00:45:35
manufacturing come home. But of course, to see
00:45:37
manufacturing come home, we're going to have to get on top of
00:45:40
our inflation here and our high-priced homes and our
00:45:44
excessive high-priced rents. And I think what Donald Trump
00:45:47
really has to do if I'm going to give advice to the
00:45:49
administration, stop BlackRock and all these companies from
00:45:53
buying up all the rental properties, from buying up all
00:45:56
the residences. Tell them that's it.
00:45:58
We're going to come up to you for a monopoly.
00:46:00
If you monopoly laws, if you continue, we're going to break
00:46:03
you up. They have to stop them from
00:46:05
buying up all the pricing the homes because they're driving
00:46:08
these rates into the roof. I think that the the prices of
00:46:11
homes in Colorado is ridiculous. A piece of shit sells for. 300
00:46:15
you want some crazy and I think I forget who sent it to me house
00:46:21
close to my area. Yeah, went 51% over the asking
00:46:25
price. I I mean, how's that you think
00:46:27
about that? It doesn't make any sense.
00:46:29
And it doesn't. But it it wasn't a great house.
00:46:31
There's like people are just bidding for this stuff.
00:46:34
I doesn't. How do you even find you have to
00:46:36
pay cash? You can't even get a mortgage on
00:46:38
a house if you pay 51% because asking prices usually equal to
00:46:42
market value or appraised value. I don't know.
00:46:44
You know, but but that's with point.
00:46:46
The desperation for homes is being driven by these big
00:46:50
conglomerates buying up all the properties.
00:46:52
Donald Trump, you got to put an end to that.
00:46:53
This is a personal message to you and the administration.
00:46:56
Stop even need to tell them, hey, you got to put that to an
00:46:58
end. That division's got to stop.
00:47:00
You can invest in other things, but that's over with.
00:47:02
Stop. You guys have enough.
00:47:04
You need to stop Colorado. It's ridiculous.
00:47:07
The prices of houses here, garbage is is like 300 and 5400
00:47:10
thousand. I mean garbage.
00:47:13
Yeah, I mean, it is what it is. Yeah.
00:47:17
I want to move on bigger and better things.
00:47:19
I'm tired of China. Fuck China.
00:47:21
China. We got Coinbase.
00:47:24
Yeah, right. They just bet 2.9 billion on the
00:47:27
future of Bitcoin. Oh, my God.
00:47:29
On Wall Street, you're going to. They they they should be
00:47:32
shitting in their pants. They should be nervous.
00:47:35
That's a big 2.9 billion. Oh my God.
00:47:38
That is a big. That's a big That's the biggest
00:47:39
power play yet, right? Yeah, and we're talking about
00:47:42
them striking a, you know, $2.9 billion deal to acquire, acquire
00:47:46
Durabit. Unless you've been living under
00:47:48
a rock, you probably know that the Durabit's the largest
00:47:51
Bitcoin options exchange out there.
00:47:54
Wall Street was dead asleep on this one.
00:47:56
They just locked in the infrastructure to become the
00:47:58
cryptos dominant derivatives Titan.
00:48:01
So I can tell you the Coinbase, that is their plan Durbet and if
00:48:05
you guys know this, they're Panama based platform, they're
00:48:08
built for institutional level options trading.
00:48:11
They've got over 90% market share in Bitcoin and Ethereum
00:48:14
options. Think about that, 90% market
00:48:17
share in Bitcoin and Ethereum options.
00:48:19
And now Coinbase has that. And I think the secret sauce in
00:48:22
this, in my opinion, is they have this lightning fast
00:48:25
matching engines for it's got really low latency AP is and
00:48:30
iron got ironclad guaranteed liquidation systems built for
00:48:34
specifically for professional traders.
00:48:36
So there's never any lack of liquidity.
00:48:39
So with this, Coinbase is just becoming a monster.
00:48:43
They've got this Durbis, you know, turbocharged back end.
00:48:47
I think this is going to be the birth of the first truly global
00:48:50
vertically integrated crypto exchange for both spot and
00:48:54
derivatives. And I think this is what we're
00:48:56
looking for out of Silicon Valley.
00:48:58
These are the kind of unstoppable hybrids that you
00:49:01
create trust, I think and incredible high speed
00:49:04
transactions. It'll be interesting because
00:49:07
this has basically been for institutional investors.
00:49:08
I wonder if Coinbase is going to open it up to the regular
00:49:12
traders on their platform. And my statement is, yes, I
00:49:16
think they are. So I think this is, this isn't
00:49:18
just a buyout, this is it's a signal, another fire signal,
00:49:22
George. This does but this listen, this
00:49:25
is just making Coinbase more than a brokerage firm right now.
00:49:28
It's making it a crypto clearing house and a market king maker.
00:49:32
You know, when I think of when I look at Wall Street, right, and
00:49:37
how they're just, you know, falling asleep on this, it, it
00:49:41
may, it reminds me of politicians, these old
00:49:44
politicians who are just so antiquated in their ways that
00:49:47
they don't see what the future is.
00:49:50
And this is what it reminds me of because it's like, well, I
00:49:56
think Wall Street's actually banking on like crypto not going
00:49:59
anywhere. Lance.
00:49:59
I, I don't know what they're thinking.
00:50:01
I'm I would love to figure this. I'm going to tell you what
00:50:03
they're missing here and I'm going to give this to the
00:50:05
audience. This is why you want to be
00:50:06
paying attention to a better house like.
00:50:08
Maybe it's better than Wall Street.
00:50:09
It might be. It might keep a.
00:50:10
Decentralization. But here's what's important to
00:50:12
know. You have to look at what they're
00:50:15
getting for this. 2.9 billion people are like, oh, that's a
00:50:17
lot of money. They're getting 1st to get
00:50:19
access to what I believe is over a $20 billion open interest, you
00:50:23
know, from all the institutional traders, right?
00:50:25
So you're talking about $20 billion worth of trading.
00:50:27
They're getting instant dominance in the crypto options
00:50:30
market, OK. And they're saying that market
00:50:33
and when you know about the crypto options market, they're
00:50:35
saying that market is going to grow 10 to 20 fold by 20-30.
00:50:40
That means 10 times where it's at or 20 times where it's at.
00:50:43
In exchange, you're getting direct exposure through this
00:50:46
this merger to to non-us markets, Durbits offshore
00:50:50
licensing and clientele. They've got clients all over the
00:50:53
globe where Coinbase is now getting access to all them.
00:50:56
So they're getting a new built in customer base in the
00:50:59
Coinbase. And you know, I think when you
00:51:01
start looking at this, Coinbase is really trying to hedge
00:51:03
against US regulatory issues. You know, any kind of gridlock
00:51:07
by having an established offshore derivatives powerhouse
00:51:11
that doesn't have to comply with 100% of the SEC crackdowns or
00:51:16
any harder US based derivatives legislation.
00:51:19
You now have this Plan B for Coinbase, which if they decided
00:51:23
to, they could move everything offshore and that takes them out
00:51:26
of the claws of the SEC because let's face it, most traders are
00:51:30
dealing with a lot of the offshore wallets and offshore
00:51:32
enemies. I think this makes Coinbase more
00:51:34
than a brokerage. I think this is just like you
00:51:37
said, George. I think Kingmaker is the right
00:51:39
combination of words. This is a big deal, and you got
00:51:42
to look into the crystal ball, right?
00:51:44
Crucial options are definitely the future.
00:51:46
Yeah. And they're definitely the
00:51:47
future of institutional risk management.
00:51:49
And who and whoever controls them controls the Kingdom,
00:51:53
George. It does, you know, Lance, and
00:51:56
it's funny because I was just we're just talking about like
00:52:00
Wall Street and the old politicians brings us to our
00:52:05
next thing. Why the US Senate, they blocked
00:52:08
stable coin legislation over what?
00:52:12
Over Trump, a meme coin that he's not involved in his family.
00:52:16
All his assets are turned over to his family.
00:52:18
He's got he's not in charge of him just like he did the last
00:52:21
time. But these these politicians, you
00:52:24
know, this bill was to promote stable coins.
00:52:26
You know, it was blocked. This was on Thursday over.
00:52:29
It's over. Just bullshit political
00:52:31
disagreements. Congress once again can't get
00:52:34
out of its own way and they're impacting the growth of the
00:52:37
crypto market and digital asset market here in the United
00:52:40
States. Every time they do this and they
00:52:42
try to use Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,
00:52:44
Trump for their justification, it just continues to enforce the
00:52:47
fact that Congress is a worthless sack of shit.
00:52:51
It doesn't matter what side of the aisle we are on.
00:52:52
Get non political on this show. This is a finance show and we
00:52:55
want the best for your finances. We want you to have generational
00:52:59
wealth. We want you to be highly
00:53:00
successful. We want you to know everything
00:53:02
you need to know. That's why we have the Crypto
00:53:04
Power Hour, 3:00 PM today. You want to tune in for that?
00:53:07
Got a great guest and you're going to want to hear what he
00:53:08
has to say about the marketplace.
00:53:11
I'm telling you right now that this is the problem with
00:53:14
Congress. You've got all this BS.
00:53:17
It's always Trump, it's always Doge.
00:53:19
Oh, it's they can't get out of their own way.
00:53:21
This bill is good for the country, it's good for America.
00:53:25
And this stable coin legislation, the strategic
00:53:27
reserve are all important. What, George, what is up with
00:53:30
Mike Johnson? Can this pussy ever get anything
00:53:33
done? It's not Mike Johnson, it's the
00:53:34
Senate. This has nothing to do with Mike
00:53:36
Johnson. This is the Senate.
00:53:38
Yet 2 Senate Republicans. Good point.
00:53:41
You need 60 votes, first of all, and but the Republicans only got
00:53:46
48 votes, so we have what, 54 what?
00:53:50
Happened to our control of the of the Senate.
00:53:54
Well, we have 5354, but you still need 60.
00:53:57
So you're going to need some Democrats to jump on board of
00:54:00
this. But you know, you have people
00:54:02
like Warren, Senator Warren, you know, she's just calling it all
00:54:06
blatantly corrupt because of the Trump meme coin.
00:54:10
But it's got nothing to do with Trump.
00:54:13
But how many Republicans opposed the bill?
00:54:15
You had Rand Paul again. Here's Rand Paul and.
00:54:18
What is with him lately? But surprise, I'm surprised
00:54:21
about this one, Josh Hawley. But here's the thing to get it
00:54:25
off the floor and actually bring there was actually Democrats and
00:54:28
Republicans that actually worked on this bill, believe it or not.
00:54:32
So there was bipartisan effort, but you still have these other
00:54:35
holdouts. So in order to advance it to get
00:54:38
off the, you know, to get it on the floor and actually people,
00:54:42
they can now, you know, if they want to make changes or
00:54:43
whatever, but they can't do that because they they can't even
00:54:46
vote on that. It's just no matter what Trump
00:54:49
does, they're going to just knock it down.
00:54:53
That's why it was so important, you know, for our financial
00:54:57
future, for our future. But even financial was the
00:55:00
security elections because it's just this is what happens.
00:55:04
I didn't want to know what's going to happen in 2026 with the
00:55:08
midterms. I don't even.
00:55:11
Nothing's yet done. We'll see what happens, Lance.
00:55:13
I don't know. Yeah, it's crazy.
00:55:15
All right, well, listen, that's a wrap for today.
00:55:17
