Seth Holehouse is a TV personality, YouTuber, podcaster, and patriot who became a household name in 2020 after his video exposing election fraud was tweeted, shared, uploaded, and pinned by President Donald Trump — reaching hundreds of millions worldwide.
Titled The Plot to Steal America, the video was created with a mission to warn Americans about the communist threat to our nation—a mission that’s been at the forefront of Seth’s life for nearly two decades.
After 10 years behind the scenes at The Epoch Times, launching his own show was the logical next step. Since its debut, Seth’s show “Man in America” has garnered 1M+ viewers on a monthly basis as his commitment to bring hope to patriots and to fight communism and socialism grows daily. His guests have included Peter Navarro, Kash Patel, Senator Wendy Rogers, General Michael Flynn, and General Robert Spalding.
He is also a regular speaker at the “ReAwaken America Tour” alongside Eric Trump, Mike Lindell, Gen. Flynn.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. So you know that we've been tracking on this show the status of the dollar. Well, Janet Yellen, our favorite person in the US treasury, has come out now and affirmed a lot of what we've been talking about. At the same time, I came across this article from over ten years ago that is almost prophetic in what it's saying.
Seth Holehouse:So this is gonna be a really interesting show, and joining us today we're gonna have Doctor. Kirk Elliott to help us make sense of it so folks enjoy this interview with Doctor. Kirk Elliott. So Kirk it's so great to have you back on the show today man how are you doing?
Speaker 2:I'm doing really well. How are you doing?
Seth Holehouse:Actually, good. It's weird. As crazy as everything seems, like the whole world's like imploding, you know, there's this kind of peace that's come over me lately where I I maybe because I've just really put things into God's hands and instead of trying to control everything with my hands. It's like there's been some shift in me that I just feel I feel light. It's kind of it's kind of nice actually, because I've been pretty stressed the past couple of years.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, there is, you know, when when you listen to God, and you're you're following His ways, and he gives us wisdom and peace and discernment and courage in times of a storm. Right? It's like because so many of the people that I'm talking to every single day are just gripped and paralyzed by the storm that we're seeing economically. But there is peace in the midst of it, and we have a solution, which is why I have a smile on my face, because there's a solution. But if I focused on the storm, I wouldn't I'd be full of anxiety, right?
Speaker 2:But because there is a solution, you know, I do have a smile on my face. But here's where, you know, people who have been watching us for quite some time know that our solution has been for a while, you know, allocated into silver, right? And something broke my heart the last couple of weeks. And so, you know, like on this show, we're talking about allocating to physical silver, physical gold, but really silver for right now. But here's the thing, not all silver is equal.
Speaker 2:Not all gold is good gold. Not all dealers are good dealers, right? So I threw out this fleece, and I'm gonna do it on this show too, on a different program that I was on. It's like, look, with silver being $24 an ounce, if you paid more than $30, you really got ripped off. Like bad, right?
Speaker 2:Because with bullion silver, maximize your ounces, minimize your cost. You shouldn't pay you should be in like the $29 range for an ounce of refinery round silver, which is bullion, which is what I recommend to everybody to maximize your ounces. Well, and I said, if you've and I'm letting people on your show too know, it's like, hey, if you've purchased silver or gold and it's at a higher price than that, send Ashley, our CEO, at ashleykirkleighphd dot com a statement from the place that you bought it from. Because here's what I mean, yeah, I'm an emotional guy, right? But I cried like literally 12 times over the last week seeing some of these statements because these are from big companies that we see on TV and on the Internet a lot, right, that are advertising.
Speaker 2:One client paid $71.15 an ounce for silver. Another one paid a hundred and $23 an ounce for silver. Some one paid through almost $3,700 an ounce for gold. Gold is less than $2,000 an ounce, like almost double. Right?
Speaker 2:And then the icing on the cake. But I'm seeing between 70 and $90 an ounce silver is almost like the norm on these portfolios. But the icing on the cake was $999 an ounce silver, and it wasn't even an old rare coin. It was like a nineteen ninety six proof Silver Eagle. It's like, what?
Speaker 2:I mean,
Seth Holehouse:just got a thousand dollars an ounce?
Speaker 2:An ounce for a modern day issue Silver Eagle coin that was MS 70 proof condition. It's like, here's the garbage behind that. If it's modern day issue, if it's done by a mint press, modern day, it should be in perfect condition unless there's something wrong with the mint press. Right? So whenever you have these advertising gimmicks but here's the sad part.
Speaker 2:These people have been working their whole life hearing you and I talk about silver or gold and happened to hear it on another show and bought it from a place, it's like, and then they totally got ripped off. The sad reality is staying in those things, they will never ever, ever, ever recover from that, like ever. So the only way to get out of it, and we're helping so many clients do this, is to liquidate those, take a loss, go into bullion that's going to go up dollar for dollar with the markets. And over time, as silver doubles, triples, or even more, that's how you can overcome that. But I'm looking at these, and it's like, I don't know how these people that are selling this garbage, which it is, can sleep at night.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's disgusting to me. And the only time somebody should actually pay $999 an ounce for silver is if you're like a collector and you've got some really rare piece of something. Right? I mean, you worked in the jewelry industry, and there are sometimes if you know what you're doing and you are a collector, then, yeah, that would be fine. But I'm not a collector.
Speaker 2:I'm an investor. Buy low, sell high, minimize your risk, maximize your return. At some point, you're going to sell that at some point down the road. So you can't ever make a profit on some of these things. If you're looking at a collectible as an investment, they don't operate the same.
Speaker 2:And so I'm just mad because some of these are in people's IRAs accounts. That's not for a collection. Right? That's an investment. And so I just wanted to say that if you have overpaid and your gut is telling you I did something wrong here, just reach out to our firm, ashleykirkalliaphd dot com, and send us your statement.
Speaker 2:We'll see if there's anything we can do to help you get out of that because it truly is just breaking, breaking my heart. It's just I can't believe that some of these people got into this mess that they're not going to get out of real easily, and this is their life savings. And so anyways, I just wanted to open up with that because I've seen enough of it this week that it really bothers me, and I had to say something about it because I want to try to help as many people as I can get out of those positions.
Seth Holehouse:And I know that you said you have you've actually helped a couple people undo the sales, like, basically, because they're that's, like, that's serious. It's funny because, you know, I I worked in the jewelry industry for quite some time, And I saw the same thing happen all the time where on both ends, know, I some, you know, I was involved in lot of people that were buying jewelry from the public. And I've had to have these these dealers coming, and they they would have say like a hundred thousand dollar sapphire ring, right? That at a wholesale level is a hundred thousand. And they'd be bragging about how they bought it for $5,000 from some old lady that had no idea what it was.
Seth Holehouse:And to me, like that was just, it was robbery. Like that was not how I how I did things. Like for me, it's like, I'd be like, okay, well, you know, it's worth this much and I'm gonna pay you this, you know, this much so I can still trade it and make a profit. But I just saw that where there's a lot of money involved, especially in a very unregulated industry, you know, no one's going out and buying an apartment that's only worth half a million and paying $5,000,000 for it, you know. But a lot of people will go out and pay $5,000,000 for half million dollars in jewelry or half million dollars in precious metals because it's high value assets that you can't go on to Zillow and do a price check on.
Seth Holehouse:So a good, a slick salesman, especially for an older person sitting at home watching the their favorite podcaster and he's saying, Hey, use this gold company. And they're like, Oh, okay, I trust that company because that person trusts them. And this is why, and this is why I work with you. And look, I mean, just being transparent, I get a lot of other companies that come to me and say, hey, work with us instead. And I refuse to, because, and actually a lot of them, they pay a lot more.
Seth Holehouse:Like they really do because they're making a lot of money. So when they rip someone off like that, of course, they can give out fat commission checks. And it's like, just I won't touch that because for me, it's like, I gotta sleep at night. So anyway, thanks for sharing that. So just for yeah.
Seth Holehouse:So just make an email at ashley@kirkelliottphd.com. That's I'll put her email actually in the description of the show. That way people have it.
Speaker 2:Oh, perfect. Yeah. Yep. Perfect.
Seth Holehouse:So Kirk, there's something that I wanted to talk about. You know, there's a lot to always talk about. But so so Janet Yellen, I guess she just came out and we're recording this on on Tuesday and this is like within the last hour and I want to bring this up because this this is gonna set the stage for our discussion. So Janet Yellen, everyone knows who she is, US Treasury Secretary has come out and said that one should expect a slow decline in the US dollar as the reserve currency. So this is something that we've been talking about for some time and a lot of people, I feel like they don't want to look at it, They don't want to talk talk about it, whether it's the media or even people that they might follow the story, and then they say, oh, the stock market is doing pretty well, and they forget about it because they think that, okay.
Seth Holehouse:Well, things are actually pretty normal. But I think it's just I I wanna have a really sober discussion about this because, like, when you have Janet Yellen coming out and finally admitting something, it's like, yeah, it goes slow until it goes all at once. Right? It's like it starts off slow and then it happens all at once. And I came across this article, which was like mind bending for a few different reasons.
Seth Holehouse:But so let me pull this up because this is this is just significant. Okay. Okay. So this is an article I'll bring up. I'm gonna read a little bit.
Seth Holehouse:So I apologize if my reading isn't fantastic, but I'll do my best. Okay. So this is an article that came out in 2,012. And it's titled The Media Won't Touch This Story About the End of the US Dollar. Now and there's a reason why I'm bringing this up because it really helps us to understand where we're at today.
Seth Holehouse:So this is back in 02/2012. So I'll read a little bit and this is like this could have been written today. Like it's eerie actually. So I'll read a few parts I've highlighted. So the author says, there's a major shift underway, one the US mainstream media has left largely untouched, even though it will send The US into an economic maelstrom and dramatically reduce the country's importance in the world, the demise of the US dollar as a world reserve currency.
Seth Holehouse:For decades, the US dollar has been absolutely dominant in international trade, especially in markets. This role has created immense demand for US Dollars and that international demand constitutes a huge part of the dollar's valuation. Not only did the global currency role add massive value to the dollar, it also created it almost for US Treasuries as countries around the world sought to maintain stores of petrodollars. The availability in all this credit denominated in a dollar supported by nothing less than the entirety of global trade enabled the American federal government to borrow without limit and spend with abandon. The dominance of the US dollar sorry, the dollar the dominance the dollar gave The United States incredible power influence around the world, but the times they are changing as the world's emerging economies gain ever more prominence, The U.
Seth Holehouse:S. Is losing hold of its position as the world's superpower. Many of the long listed nations that dislike America are pondering ways to reduce American influence in their affairs, ditching the dollars a very good start. Over the past few years, China and other emerging powers such as Russia have been quietly making agreements to move away from the US dollar and international trade. Several major oil producing nations have begun selling oil and currencies other than the dollar and both the United Nations and the IMF have issued reports arguing for the need to create a new global reserve currency independent of the dollar.
Seth Holehouse:So I'll jump down a little bit here and read this section. So as nations continue to pursue increased bilateral trade, at some point they will decide that involving US dollars in every transaction is unnecessary and expensive, and they will ditch the dollar. So it says the value of the US dollars, the key paragraph here, the value of the US dollar is based on this role as the conduit for global trade. If that role vanishes much of the value in the dollar will evaporate, massive inflation, high interest rates, inflation, substantial increases in the cost of food, clothing, and gasoline will make the February look like nothing more than a bump in the road. This will be a crater.
Seth Holehouse:The government will be unable to finance its debts, the house of cards built on the assumption that the world would rely on the US dollar forever will come tumbling down. It's a scary proposition, but don't bury your head in the sand because countries around the world are already starting to ditch the dollar. Russia and China are leading the charge. More than a year ago, the two nations made good on talks to move away from the dollar. Similarly, a new agreement among the BRICS nations promotes the use of their national currencies when trading instead of the US dollar.
Seth Holehouse:So there's just there's there's a I definitely want to hear your thoughts on this, Kirk. I have a few comments just based on a few pair particular paragraphs. So, you know, for one, it's like if we're looking at this and we're saying, okay, they saw this was coming and there's these early warnings. And it's like, is it the cart before the horse? Is it that everyone looks around and says, okay, the dollar has has bottomed out.
Seth Holehouse:It's no longer the reserve currency because, you know, you're watching specifically or is it the the indicators that you're seeing? And so, like right here, again, this is ten years ago, they're saying that if the the the if the roll vanishes, if the dollar loses that world reserve currency status, much of the value will evaporate. So they're saying at that time, there's gonna be massive inflation, high interest rates, and substantial increases in the cost of food, clothing, and gasoline. So it's like, if you look at that as one example, it's like ten years ago, or say twelve years ago when this was written, you know, we weren't experiencing massive inflation. We weren't experiencing high interest rates.
Seth Holehouse:We were experiencing Right. You know, crazy prices of food. And while they've blamed a lot of these things on the Ukraine war or something else, like, to me, kind of pulling this together, it's like, what they've been warning about, like, it's here. Like, it's on our doorstep. And it's easy to say, Well, yeah, they've always been warning about that.
Seth Holehouse:And that was 10, you know, over ten years ago, and it's the same old song and dance, the dollars collapsing. Well, it's almost like looking back ten years ago and saying, Alex, you know, Alex Jones was warning us about a pandemic and forced, you know, jabs, right? You can look back at that and say, Well, that was ten years ago. He's always saying that. Or you look at and say, Oh my gosh, he was right.
Seth Holehouse:How did he know what was coming? And I feel like that's more the case when we look back at this and say, oh my gosh, like people have been warning about this and while the timing may not have been immediate, like everything that they're talking about is now coming to pass. And so I really, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that. And sorry for kind of hogging the line for that moment, but I really wanted to frame that this discussion. Alright, folks, I've got a quick message for you.
Seth Holehouse:I have one simple question. If today you could no longer go purchase more food for your family with the food stores that you have in your home, how long would you be able to feed your family? Would it be a week, three weeks, a month, two months, a year? This is a really important question folks that we have to be very realistic about because the elites are proactively trying to put us into a state of food crisis and a state of famine. I'm sure you've seen all of the different food processing plants and farms that are blowing up.
Seth Holehouse:You've got cattle dying by the tens of thousands. They're proactively trying to collapse our food system because they know if they can control our food, they can control us. And so one of the best ways to be outside of their control is to be able to have our own stores of food and to be able to produce our own food. So there's really two things I would recommend. One is having heirloom seeds that you can grow your own food with, making sure that they're non GMO heirloom seeds.
Seth Holehouse:That way you can harvest your seeds this year, use them next year. You can use these seeds for generations. Literally, it's how it will work. The other thing though is this high quality storable food. This is food that's sitting somewhere, it's hidden in your basement, buried in your backyard, whatever it is.
Seth Holehouse:So that way, if there is a crisis, if there is an emergency, you might have three months set aside to get through that time period. And so for this, I would highly recommend a company called Heaven's Harvest. This is an amazing Christian owned patriot company and what they're doing is they're making high quality storable food. Again, lot of the food companies, they say these food buckets, they're all about maximizing calories per dollar. They're filling the buckets with a bunch of filler and junk like sweet beverages, etc.
Seth Holehouse:But Heaven's Harvest, they focus on very high quality food that will last up to twenty five years on the shelf. They also sell heirloom seeds. You can buy all of your seed, you can buy all of your restorable food. And look folks, personally, I would recommend having at least three months per person in your household, if not six months or even a year. Again, depends on your budget, but I'll definitely make sure you have some seeds because that seed those seeds could be worth their weight in gold, if not more in the future.
Seth Holehouse:So to go ahead and do this right now, go put up a new tab and go to heavensharvest.com. And if you use the promo code Seth, that's s e t h, promo code Seth, you'll save 15% off of your entire order. So again, the time is running out and you'd rather be three months or one year early than one day late. Again, heavensharvest.com and use promo code Seth to save 15% today.
Speaker 2:No, it's it's perfect because some of the stuff it's not prophetic. Right? It's just math. Right? So as you start to see okay.
Speaker 2:And how do I put it into historical context? Every country that's had a world reserve currency has had a lifespan. Right, throughout history. We're not the first one. The US dollar is not the first world reserve currency.
Speaker 2:Before us, it was The United Kingdom. Before The United Kingdom, it was like Portugal and Spain, and you had you had Greece in there and the Dutch currency. Right? So so but the average lifespan or the range goes from forty five years to a hundred and ten years. But why?
Speaker 2:Why? Why do they span out? Well, it's because to produce enough currency to actually fund all oil settlements like with
Seth Holehouse:the
Speaker 2:petrodollar or all international settlements of anything between countries globally, you have to print more than what you need for domestic use. Well, over time, people say, wait a second, America. You print way too many dollars. You're flooding the world with this stuff. You're creating way too much debt.
Speaker 2:We gotta have another reserve currency. You squandered your time in the sun. And if I were a policymaker in America, I would say, wait a second. We had to. Right?
Speaker 2:It's just we have to we have to print more than what we need. That's what the world's reserve currency is. But during that time, you've got built in demand for your currency so you can amass, like we did, $32,000,000,000,000 worth of debt. You can fund all these expenditures. You can have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, women, infant children programs, food stamps.
Speaker 2:You can fund all these stimulus programs and earmark things and everything else. Right. And you still have built in demand for the currency. Well, once that changes because the rest of the world says flooded the market with it, we're going to go to somewhere else. You know, it just happens.
Speaker 2:Right? I'm sure that The United Kingdom didn't like it when the British pound sterling was no longer the world's reserve currency, because then they had to print with discretion or else you're no different than Venezuela, Argentina, Cyprus, Greece. Right? Or prior to them, you know, the the the Spanish currency or the or the Dutch guilder, right? It's like it just happens.
Speaker 2:And so we happen to be the generation that's alive while this is happening. So during this time, we're amassing debt. Our debt grew greater than our GDP, so we now have more debt than we have gross domestic product 100% of the time throughout history. And I'd like to look back because I can't remember off the top of my head. I bet our debt was approaching gross domestic product numbers when that article was written, because that's a for sure sign.
Speaker 2:A % of the time, like not even a part, a % of the time when that happens, country's currency ceases to exist or it fails. Right? So so that's not good odds to overcome. So whoever was writing that new history and knew what happens to countries when their debt surpasses their GDP levels, And we did, we're now at 120%. It's like, dude, we went way past it.
Speaker 2:Right? There's no way that we can economically
Seth Holehouse:Here you go. Here's a debt versus GDP chart for the past, since 1970. So when that article was written, yeah, February, it was just spiking, right, it was just like, when that article was written, it was just after a massive spike coming after 02/2008.
Speaker 2:So what was it at around there when that article was written? Was it close to 100?
Seth Holehouse:Almost exactly at 100.
Speaker 2:Yeah. See, the person who wrote that article knew understood history, Right? And that's probably how they knew. It wasn't that they were being prophetic. They just knew that at some point it becomes unsustainable to have a debt that's greater than GDP because there's not gonna be enough tax revenue to pay it off.
Speaker 2:So this is why countries fail, right, economically, and and we're we're no different. But we've now surpassed that so far that it's that it's a point of arrogance or pride to think our our dollar is never gonna go away as the reserve currency. Right? This is what politicians would think, but you can't have that when you've you've amassed the amount of debt that we have globally.
Seth Holehouse:Exactly. Exactly. And what's also interesting, so I want to pull up a different article that you had sent me, because so that article was honing I read, it's funny because it was like I think that in one of the earlier shows I was talking and saying that China and Russia are leading the charge. Think actually in one of my old ads I used to run it was like that exact you know it was like the world is going through de dollarization and China and Russia are leading the charge. It was like the exact verbatim, which is just kind of mind blowing, but you you see that in these in the article in a lot of our discussions is it's these bricks characters that are at the forefront of that.
Seth Holehouse:Like they're the ones that are building this new system, they're the ones that are leading the charge and really it is China and Russia, you know, kind of at the head of leading BRICS away from the US dollar, but what's interesting, so you shared this article with me, I'll pull up right here, which was the one about Humpty Dumpty. But then within that article, you have this chart, which is showing the largest reported gold buyers in tons from 2010 to 2022. So tell us about what we're seeing here.
Speaker 2:So you look at that, that's a twelve year span, and look at the people that are buying or the countries that are buying gold. You've got Russia at 1,400 tons, you got China at almost a thousand tons. You've got Turkey in there. You've got Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India. Where on that list, Seth, is Germany or The United Kingdom or America even.
Speaker 2:It's like, oh.
Seth Holehouse:What's crazy is
Speaker 2:that if I
Seth Holehouse:look at it, AC bricks, okay, Brazil, check, Russia, check, India, check, China, check, And where's South Africa? Oh, yeah. South Africa doesn't need to buy gold because they're mining all the gold, right? Because they're sitting all kinds of So it's like, gosh, this was even, again, this this was from 2010 to 2022. The article came out in 2012.
Seth Holehouse:It's like you you can see it's like everything is happening right in front of us. And yeah, I think a lot of people, especially when the stock market's doing well, it's just so easy for folks to be like, Oh, the dollar's fine, the economy is going well, and the CPI numbers weren't quite as bad as they thought they were going to. But there's a there's a storm brewing and it's the the indicators are all over the place.
Speaker 2:They're they're all over the place. And what's interesting about that chart is Germany, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Japan, none of the Western economies are on that list at all. We're too proud and arrogant about central bank digital currency and how they're going to use Western banking stuff to fix this. No, they are not, which is the BRICS nations are realizing that. And I'm not saying that the BRICS nations are great or fantastic or anything like that.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying because central bank digital currency, they're issuing that too, right? They're using gold as the carrot to draw people in saying, our CBDC is better than everybody else's. You should use go into ours. Because once you go into that system, you're never coming out. But here's where there's something interesting that's starting to happen.
Speaker 2:Central bank digital currency is not a guarantee that it's actually going to gain public acceptance. Right? Just because 10 nations around the world are now moving headlong into central bank digital currency. Here in America by July, the FedNow app will be released to all banks, small, medium, and large, not just the four big money center banks that are beta testing it. So we're gonna be headlong into that.
Speaker 2:But but a a poll just last weekend showed that at a rate of two to one, Americans do not want a digital Federal Reserve currency that can track all of your purchases. Two to one. So we're starting to see that now. And then you see what happened two weeks ago, DeSantis in Florida passed a bill that said, We're not going to accept CBDCs in Florida at all. Not an allowable mechanism for transactions.
Speaker 2:And you've got countries like it was either Hong Kong or Singapore basically telling China, we are not going to accept the BRICS nation's CBDCs. Right? So there's all of a sudden this grassroots level support of opposition towards central bank digital currency because it's a complete loss of freedom. So here's what I believe is going to happen. Right?
Speaker 2:The BRICS nations in that chart showed us what are they doing. They're amassing gold. Don't listen to what they say. Look at what they do, right? Because they're going say, oh, gold and silver, it stinks.
Speaker 2:It's ancient relic. You want to buy a central bank digital currency. But yet at the same time, they're amassing mountains, not ounces, not pounds, not tons, but thousands of tons of gold. Right? It's a lot.
Speaker 2:And when they do that, they're telling us what they're projecting is, A, we're going to see problems with central bank digital currency, and we want to backstop it, or b, they realize the only way to get people to accept it is by giving them something that they want that there's accountability and transparency for, which be gold, right? And the arrogance of the Western nations not even having any of it is actually, I think, a foreshadowing of problems to come as well, being that the central bank, as we know it, the Federal Reserve, it's hitting the skids. And we're seeing all of the spending. We're seeing America's debt surpass their GDP. We've got some serious problems.
Speaker 2:But still, people kind of have faith and confidence in The US banking system. Right? Well, I think that's about to fade. You and I had talked about Weiss research, right, about how the 4,243 banks that are that are poised for destruction. Martin Weiss this week sounded like one of us.
Speaker 2:Right? In an article that that they wrote about there's there's problems coming. There's a fracturing of the system that's happening. More banks are gonna fail. Central bank digital currencies are coming.
Speaker 2:And what what's interesting about this article is he was pointing out what happens when banks start to fail and governments start to go rogue with their policies and they can't fix it. Executive orders. So in the past, you've seen an executive order that confiscated gold. You saw an executive order that caused bail ins in the Dodd Frank bill. You've seen you saw executive order that that got rid of closed the gold window during Nixon and created the petrodollar.
Speaker 2:Right? So so during times of crisis, you're gonna see executive orders that start to come, that start to erode our freedoms, take away our financial freedoms, take away our personal freedoms, take away our religious freedoms. And we're heading into that again because nobody at the government level knows what to do to fix it. But part of me thinks that they don't want to fix it. So that previous article that we were talking about, the Humpty Dumpty one where we talked about the number of amount of gold, what was the headline of that article?
Speaker 2:It's like that word at word at crossing point, save the system or the currency? See, this is so true, and I don't believe that they want to save the US dollar. So therefore, they want to save the system, but they're not gonna have this current system that we have now. They're ushering in a new system. But you can't have both because the US dollar is the world's reserve currency.
Speaker 2:So you save the dollar, you don't get a new system. You let the dollar go the way of the Dodoburg, you can get a new system. This is what they want with central bank digital currency. The two of those things, saving the system and the dollar cannot coexist together. So you look at the the rulers and the decision makers globally, the World Economic Forum, the Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, the IMF, what do they want?
Speaker 2:They want a new global system where they're in control. So therefore, I do think that the dollar is dying, which goes back to that original article that you started with that said debt to GDP. Or they didn't say that, but that's the rationale behind it. I'm convinced of it, has gotten too far. The dollar is going to die.
Speaker 2:They're going to usher in a new system. I mean, it doesn't take rocket science once you understand how economics and politics and finance all intertwine and things can actually be be be understood and almost foretold, and this is why we're shouting it from the rooftops, allocate into silver because that too can be foretold with everything that's happening financially, globally, politically, reserve currency status going away, countries leaving the petrodollar system, all that political instability and wars and rumors of wars and everything that's happening, gold and silver will thrive where this where normal traditional assets will come sinking down to earth.
Seth Holehouse:Yeah. It's just it's interesting seeing all these things together. And sometimes that's the only way to find, form a picture of something, is by putting everything together and looking at it collectively. And so, as I mentioned before, I'll put Ashley's, who's your CEO, I'll put her email in the description to the show. So folks that if you look at, if they've, if you've made a purchase of gold and silver recently, even a year, two years ago, whatever, and you want, you know, an independent eye looking at it, I mean, I know that, you know, with Kirk, your philosophy is very just straight and narrow.
Seth Holehouse:Just, you know, okay, silver is silver. There's a there's a small premium that is always gonna be on silver, but anything beyond that is highway robbery. Unless, again, you're you're some collector of rare coins, which I hope you're not investing in rare coins, you know, might as well go invest in rare cars or rare paintings and hope it turns out, right? So there's that also, you know, folks do want to learn more, goldwithseth.com. They can also fill the form out there and say, Hey, I want to talk to you about some purchases I've made.
Seth Holehouse:And if they just want to call and set up an appointment or whatever, what's the best number to reach you at or your team?
Speaker 2:Yeah, call (720) 263-0010. That's actually my personal cell. If you can't get in touch with Ashley, then you can actually text me those forms too. But to set up an appointment to reach one of our people, (720) 605-3900. That's (720) 605-3900.
