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 I've got a variety of guests that come on that you will talk about these specific subjects of, okay, here's exactly what's going on right now with a court case or, you know, an audit of some sort. I've also got people that I like this having these big picture discussions with. And one of those people is Aaron Brickman.
Seth Holehouse:Now he hasn't been on a while, but he was on before talking about some stock market stuff, but also the much bigger picture of that. And so today, we're gonna be getting into a discussion about everyone in America is focused on these the the day to day. It's the Fauci hearing. It's even the election. These are significant events, but there's something much bigger that we need to focus on.
Seth Holehouse:And so Aaron's gonna walk us through what that is and why there is a massive, massive storm coming that he's extremely concerned about that very few people are really focusing on. So folks, please enjoy the interview with Aaron Brickman. Mister Aaron Brickman, it's been a while. It's great to have you back on the show. Thank you for being here.
Todd Callender:Well, thank you, Seth. This is awesome. It's always a privilege, and I, it really is a privilege and honor. I I watch most of your programs, and, I love what you're doing. I love, I know you're reaching a wider audience and just continuing to grow.
Todd Callender:And thank you again for having me.
Seth Holehouse:Of course. So as usual, there's about a million things that we can talk about. But I wanna hand it to you. You're, you know, you're somebody that you're following a lot of different aspects of what's happening in the world. You've got a great blend of of faith and and and spirituality that that guides what you're focusing on, what you believe to be important.
Seth Holehouse:So you're one of those guys that periodically, it's good for me just to say, what's in your what's on your radar right now? What are you focused on? What do you think is the most important? Is it the is it the Fauci show trial? Or is it something else?
Seth Holehouse:So I'll go ahead and hand it to you then. Just just kinda see what you wanna talk about. Because know you before beforehand, you mentioned, you know, there's no time for, you know, pleasantries anymore. We gotta be pretty matter of fact and pretty frank with these discussions. And and I I agree, and I look look forward to that.
Todd Callender:Yes. Thank you again. You know, in the I've probably been interviewed maybe over the last couple times many times, maybe over the last two years, and it really started I don't know if it was right before or right after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And at the time, there was a number of podcasters that wanted me to get pretty excited, oh, you know, dun dun dun. Here we go.
Todd Callender:And I was pretty, I was pretty relaxed. And I was relaxed because I understood where that was leading, but, again, that was just the opening act. And it's not like the movies. You don't go, you know, you don't go to the end of the world and wrap it all up in in ninety minutes. Wars take decades, and there's plenty of warning, and you just slowly creep into the abyss.
Todd Callender:It's not like you just jump headlong. And so for over the last two years, I've I've I'm I'm definitely a macroeconomics guy, stock market cycles, definitely historical cycles, political cycles, revolutionary cycles, war cycles. And in my approach and and so I'm really watching geopolitical events. And I think I had stated to you at one point that I consume a lot of information a day, whether it's books or journals or articles, interviews. And I'm not overwhelmed, and I'm able to absorb a ton of information because I kinda know how to catalog it.
Todd Callender:Meaning, my paradigm is the fourth turning. We're in the fourth turning. We're in the back nine, which is we're gonna go into the intense part of the storm. And everything you're everything that you're either interviewing people about or that we're consuming in the news is just the details. It's the details, and a lot of people get sidetracked by the details or start unraveling that specific detail and not understanding the context, the historical context, or even the context within today's world, what's going on.
Todd Callender:So how do you connect the dots? And then once you connect the dots, what do what do those dots mean? And then where where are those dots in history? Have we seen this before, or is this something new? And so let me just so I'm gonna be very matter of fact today because, a, this isn't, 02/2022.
Todd Callender:We're way farther down the road. And there's some things that that the audience might disagree with me on, and we we all agree to disagree. But I will stand by my statements that I'm saying right now or I'm about to say, and we'll let history, judge the accuracy, of what I'm about to say. And, and, again, we all see in part. Right?
Todd Callender:Like Paul wrote in the bible, we're not you know, I'm not clairvoyant, but, hopefully, God's given us some wisdom to look at these events in context and make some some accurate projections. So with that, that's kinda a long preamble. But with that being said, everything right now, the bat the the the only topic that matters is war. That is the only topic that matters. Everything else is a a is a subfolder of that.
Todd Callender:And that war, at a spiritual level, is war on humanity. Okay? It's war on the family. It's war on your body. It's war on the church.
Todd Callender:It's war on your spirit. What's going on in the schools is war on the children's minds and their moral like, it's war. Okay? Even DEI and all all the green poll all of this is war on humanity. Okay?
Todd Callender:And I know you've had discussions on transhumanism and where they want to take humanity. Part of what is confusing the public as we head towards war, and I'm talking about physical kinetic war with the Russians and Chinese and Muslims, is that I keep hearing a number of conservatives not understand they're they're confused on how we're going to win this war. How does the West, how does Biden, how does Macron in France, how do these leaders actually think they can engage the Russians and the Chinese in a in a nuclear conflict and win. They don't. That's not the goal.
Todd Callender:The goal is the destruction of humanity. It is literally the death of billions of people. Like, I I I I know that that is hard for the average listener to understand that this is very demonically inspired. As you all know, if you get into the history of the third Reich, it was so satanic at its core. I mean, it was and we didn't know that in 1939 or 1943.
Todd Callender:But postwar, it is very it's documented. It's historical. It was the satanic roots were deep within the SS and within the party. Okay. And it literally was trying to do genocide.
Todd Callender:Okay? We had never seen that face of evil. That that was something that the average even the average GI fighting in Europe could not comprehend what the face of evil was until they liberated those camps. And I'm telling you, the West does not understand and has not seen this face of evil that is about to rear its head. We have been told Neil Neil Howe, William Strauss, wrote the book The Fourth Turning.
Todd Callender:We don't have to discuss that. We that is a every that's required read. Okay. And they've been very accurate in the they were very accurate in their predictions, and and we're here. And now that we're here and war is at the doorstep, it's at the doorstep.
Todd Callender:Colonel MacGregor's interviews will will I'm not gonna cover what he his knowledge is you gotta listen to Colonel MacGregor. The the what what is what is taking place in Europe in time, we could talk for five hours, Seth, about troop movement in Eastern in Western Europe. We could talk about all the red lines that that we that NATO has crossed crossed, the Russians gave two years ago. I'm not talking about red lines for conventional conflict. I'm talking about red lines for nuclear attack.
Todd Callender:We are closer to nuclear war than the Cuban missile crisis. K? This this is Europe is openly talking about war with the Russians. Germany is calling for 900,000 reserve troops to be activated. We could go on Taiwan is now mining the waters off its shores for an invasion.
Todd Callender:We could do an entire program on the Mideast with Iran in The in Israel, in Hezbollah, Hamas, in Lebanon, in in Egypt now having two soldiers shot by Israeli IDF troops last week. Like, these are theaters of World War three. It started in World War two started in Europe. It went to North Africa and The Mideast, and then it opened up in The Pacific. These are the three theaters you're now watching open up.
Todd Callender:Okay? It is not a probability of whether World War three is going to happen. It is an absolute I will make a statement right now. You are going to see it. And it is not five to ten years off.
Todd Callender:How can I say that? I can say that because of the cycles that we could get into that are within the fourth turning that pinpoint the timing. We could talk about Martin Armstrong and his cycle prediction, which has been dead bang on for thirty years. It's the reason they put him in jail is they wanted access to the source code. This is a guy that predicted within weeks the fall of communism.
Todd Callender:His cycle had a massive turn on September in advance, and he has been pounding the table saying war when you get to the summer of twenty twenty four. And he was saying that two years ago when everybody thought it was gonna happen then. He said no. He was worried about the summer of twenty twenty four. I can tell you, I just had the, luxury of, watching his, London conference.
Todd Callender:He is not pulling punches. The war is about to begin. The United States, he he officially put out last week that The United States will fall in eight point six more years. We have eight point six more years. That is how long it took for Rome to fall, was eight point six years.
Todd Callender:Okay? That's a thousand year empire that literally goes into phase transition in the last eight point six years. What's phase transition? Phase transition is take a is likened to, boiling water. How long does it take to boil water?
Todd Callender:Well, it takes quite a quite a couple of minutes. But in the blink of an eye, there's phase transition where it goes from a liquid to a gas. Okay? And that's what we're in right now, is this thing is boiling in in a blink in a flash. Okay?
Todd Callender:It happened in World War one with the assassination of the archduke. By the way, they just attempted to assassinate the prime minister of Slovakia. Slovakia was part of the Austro Hungarian empire. You're even seeing the same events rhyme through time. The winter World War one started with that assassination and officially was declared in June, July of of '19 '14.
Todd Callender:World War '2 started on 09/01/1939. That that is not the reason that Martin Armstrong he's making predictions for other cycles, but we're even entering the historical window, okay, which is the summer months for the outbreak of World War three. I have argued for two years that we have already World War three started two years ago. Okay? And it's it's it's mission creep, and it's and it and and and it's different spheres of combat, different theaters that are slowly opening up, like the Israel, like the Pacific, like Eastern Europe.
Todd Callender:Okay? But the Russians we have passed all the Russian red lines. Martin Armstrong is adamant The United States will cease to exist by the end of twenty thirty two. That's not my words. That is Martin Armstrong's.
Todd Callender:This is the guy that OPEC calls during their meetings. This is the guy that the central banks of the world, including the Swiss bank, the Japanese central bank, the Chinese central bank, our fed calls because he knows because of his cycles.
Seth Holehouse:Folks, perhaps you'd agree with me when I say that over the past five years, the mainstream health care system's credibility has plummeted. Alternative health care systems that aren't beholden to medical consensus or big pharma are on the rise. Sweetamine is time tested and proven to boost your life with better health. It's one of the leading products that helps with inflammation and daily aches and pains. Just because you get older, it doesn't mean you have to feel old.
Seth Holehouse:And folks, did you know that most of the diseases that make people sick and die these days are rooted in chronic inflammation, oftentimes due to glycine deficiency. So sweetamine is composed mainly of the amino acid glycine, the nutrient that the immune system uses to regulate inflammation. So with once daily sweetamine, most people feel the reduction in pain after just a few days. So I challenge you to the twelve day sweetamine challenge to fight inflammation and take control of your health today. So folks, buy sweetamine online at sweetamine dot com or call 855 That's (855) 438-7933.

Todd Callender:When I hear conservatives continue to push the goal line, they continue to move the goal. So in 2022 with the invasion, it was like, no. No. We got three to four more years, five years. Then we get to here.
Todd Callender:Now we're, three to four more year. Like, we're constantly moving the goalpost. Okay? But but there's gonna come look. They are now getting ready to introduce the draft in Europe, both men and women, through the age of 60.
Todd Callender:Now maybe that's a good thing because maybe that means that the entire population will revolt against this nonsense. If it's just a bunch of 18 to 24 year olds, I think that the the the most people would, would still be passive. Maybe they won't be if if everybody is is getting pulled into this conflict. I will tell you for as a matter of fact, they are quietly preparing that in The United States. Okay?
Todd Callender:It's already it is already in the works. I had a conversation with a gentleman who, 20 let's just put it this way. Almost thirty years navy. K? Basically, had achieved the rank of admiral.
Todd Callender:Alright? And what I'm what he is telling me is the same thing that the cycle guys are saying. Okay? That that they want more time, but they're not sure they have any more time. Okay?
Todd Callender:So when you hear and I know that you're privy to to military officers as well. So it's it's not a in the civilian world and when I was in the military, there was all kinds of things that were going on that my parents didn't know about, the average person didn't know about. Okay? And that's the way it's supposed to be. But when you get this late in the game and everything everything on the everything on the news is is telling you, but they're not telling you.
Todd Callender:They're they're they're giving you the hints, but they're not connecting the dots for you. I'm just very adamant right now that I believe that the war kinetically will start in less than eighteen months. Less than eighteen months. And it could be thirty days from now. The Russians have told we we've we've passed all the red lines, all with the they just pulled Scott Rudder's passport to prevent him going to Russia to try and downplay this, to try and diffuse this situation that's going on with the ramping of the military.
Todd Callender:So let me be specific. Let's get into timing of the fourth turning. The fourth turning to me has always been problematic because it's a generation. It's a twenty year window. Okay?
Todd Callender:And that's awesome when before you and I understood about the turnings. Okay? So when we first read the book, we're like, oh my gosh. Now we can dial it in. Well, okay.
Todd Callender:Twenty years. Well, okay. We dialed it in, but that's a long time. You know? If you're lucky, that's a quarter of your life.
Todd Callender:Okay? And so and I've and I've known that the war, and it's always an existential crisis. Right? I've known that that was going be in the back half of the fourth turn. I mean, that's kinda how you end it.
Todd Callender:Okay? But the timing has always been was it 2022? Was it COVID outbreak in '20 like, where where and then you're hearing Marty talk about all the way into 2032. You're like, well, if it's 2032, maybe we have till 2028, '20 '20 '9 before it goes kinetic. It's always been very nebula it's good if you don't if you don't I mean, it it's helpful to know about forward throwing versus not knowing, but you don't dial it in.
Todd Callender:And there is a cycles guy, by the name of L David Linsky that I discovered his work about a month ago, and I've been deep diving it. And I do believe that he has the secret to the timing. And what he discovered was the Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini. Now for everybody that that just heard me say that, they probably went right over their heads. It's now into Astro stuff.
Todd Callender:And so we can, we can tune this out, and, it's not gonna it's not gonna have any relevance. Okay. My retort to that is God hung the stars and in Genesis said they were for signs and seasons. Signs. They are signposts.
Todd Callender:You can get into the math. You can get into the orbit, all that stuff. So for example, Uranus' orbit is eighty four years. Well, that's interesting because all the fourth turnings are around eighty to ninety years. Okay?
Todd Callender:So he started looking at the exact configuration of the planets and what's going on for the triggers, for the trigger of war, whether it's 1940, '18 '60 '1, '17 '70 '6, you just start running this backwards all the way to the founding of Jamestown. K. We could do two or three hour program on the exact timing, but suffice it to say, the start dates of war let me make this point for your audience. The start dates for war is historically inaccurate at best. The more you start studying World War one or or World War two or the Civil War or the Revolutionary War so for example, they'll tell you that the revolutionary war began at two time frames, either the signing of the declaration of independence or in in April of seventeen seventy five when shots were fired in in Lexington.
Todd Callender:But if you go back and read your history, the British declared martial law in Boston in '72. Okay? The Intolerable Acts were then passed where troops now were entering Boston and being quartered in your own home. They were not allowing people to be tried in front of a jury of their peers, in front of the local, judges. The British started appointing their own judges and then even hauling colonialists back to England to stand trial.
Todd Callender:Like, you're are if you're in that time period, you're already in it is my point. Okay. When that final shot, that first salvo is fired where everybody, even the, you know, even the idiot baker now knows you're in a war, that's not what we wanna wait for. You fast forward to a civil war. So they're gonna tell everybody again.
Todd Callender:So when you get to the civil war, they're gonna tell everybody that the war started in April 1861 when when the southerners basically fired the first shot. Really? Well, let's go back to 1857. '18 '50 '7 is the Dred Scott decision by the Supreme Court that says that blacks in The United States are not citizens and do not have any rights. That sent the North into a tizzy.
Todd Callender:Okay? You then go into '68 where you have the Lincoln Douglas debates. Lincoln loses the senate race in Illinois. That sets him up to run-in 1860. But what happens in 1859?
Todd Callender:'18 '50 '9 is where John Brown and a bunch of abolitionists attack the federal weapons depot in Harpers Ferry, and the general the general that is in charge of putting down and defending that is a general by the name of general Lee. K? We don't record that the civil war starts there. Then you get into 1860 and the presidential election, and Lincoln wins the presidency by 39% of the populace. K.
Todd Callender:You can see if you're in that moment. The reason I'm taking time to go through history is if you're in that moment, you already the every all the signs are around you for what whether it's the revolutionary war or the civil war of what this war is going to be about. Okay? And you it's for the historians to arbitrarily assign a start date is my point. But but there are years and years that are proceeding the actual conflict, and you know what that conflict is going to be about.
Todd Callender:Okay? Life in the colonies was forever changed. You're not going back. Also, what was being contested at that time was the loss of justice within the court system. Fast forward to the civil war, the events preceding it, loss of justice within the court system, Loss of life, loss of liberty.
Todd Callender:Look. Antebellum South was destroyed, never to be seen again by 1865. That that it socially, it was gone. Let's go to World War two. I ask people all the time, when did World War two start?
Todd Callender:And I always get these, well, 12/07/1941. Well, that's if you're the Americans. When did it start for the Polish? Right? It's gonna be 09/01/1939.
Todd Callender:But what if you're the Chinese? You gotta go back into the nineteen thirties and the occupation and what the Japanese are doing. Or what if you're in Spain or Italy? Right? And the civil war that was going on there, that was literally the testing ground between the communists and the Nazis.
Todd Callender:Okay. The point of all this is that you know what the war is going to be about years in advance in in this is my frustration now. I I continue to hear people talk about praying that it doesn't happen. And look. I'm a man of faith.
Todd Callender:You're a man of faith. I understand where prayer is, but you praying that it doesn't happen to me. The Christians in the colonies in 1776, I'm sure we're praying. I'm sure I'm sure our Christian grandparents going into World War two were praying. Like, that is not a strategy is my point.
Todd Callender:It needs to be a part of your daily life, but that is it it that is not you've got to understand that most of the time, God takes you through the fire. He doesn't pull you out of it. Okay? And now we come to this moment in time. What are we seeing?
Todd Callender:Are we seeing a lack of justice in the judicial system? You think that's new? What I'm saying and what Martin Armstrong is saying is when you come on the other side of this, whatever life you have now is done. You will never see it again. I know those are strong words, but somebody has to look at the historic at history and where we're at and tell you if you you're nine eleven.
Todd Callender:You're on the day of nine eleven, you're not going back. When COVID broke out and everybody wants to go, you're not going back to that world. Okay? There are there are moments in history that are like lines of demarcation, and they are phase transitions, and you're never going back. Okay?
Todd Callender:And I know that the American I know that people don't like to hear that. I know it's hard for them to understand. But there is a line that we're about to cross, and we are not coming back to this time. And it is going to be, we're not prepared for it. We're not prepared for it physically.
Todd Callender:We're not prepared for it mentally. We're not prepared for it spiritually. We are not prepared in the in in right now, in in the final months or may maybe when we have eighteen months, it's the now is the time to literally go to the gym, start watching what you eat. If you need to lose weight, lose weight. If you need to return to God, return to God.
Todd Callender:If you need to get right with your family, get right with your family. Like, if you need to get beat start being financially responsible, I don't know what you're waiting for. Like, there's there there like, there is no more time. There's not time for distractions. There's not time for games.
Todd Callender:There's not time for for petty jealousy and arguments and, you know, we're gonna let's argue about, you know, let's argue about Building 7. Don't wanna hear about building like, like, we are so far down the road from those type of arguments in in rabbit trails. So I'll say this lastly, that if you've I believe Trump let me make a couple of statements. So here here's where I think we're going. I think the financial system and I've been trading the markets for twenty five years.
Todd Callender:I'm trading with guys that have traded for about forty five years. And we all commiserate and laugh in an are in awe. We have never seen such a perversion of capitalism, a perversion of markets that has been growing increasingly over the years. But I'm telling you, Seth, the last two years is we're we're we're beyond we're beyond 1929 valuations. We're beyond 2,000 and cent.
Todd Callender:Like, it is so normalized now that when I say it, people are like, what do you mean? Like, one company, NVIDIA, it has accounted for 50% of the S and P 500 gains for the year. Do you understand that if NVIDIA crashes, if there anything negative happens to NVIDIA, then the entire market goes with it? And people go, well, that won't happen. Really?
Todd Callender:Well, NVIDIA has their chips manufactured in where, Seth? Oh, Taiwan? Oh, yeah. That might be a problem. If that was a cryptocurrency chart, we know what comes on the other side of it.
Todd Callender:That is in math, we all learned. That is a parabola. What goes up must come down. That is a vertical ascent. We could we we that that is identical to Cisco in February.
Todd Callender:It's identical to the Nasdaq in February. Alright. But, hey, it's AI and, you know, that's the new flavor of the month and nothing bad could happen with that. Right? Okay.
Todd Callender:So here's my predictions. The financial markets will come a part of the seams over the next two years. I expect at least a 70% drawdown in the Dow and the S and P five hundred. And for anybody that tells me that can't happen, 02/2003 bear market and 02/2009 bear market were 50%. Fifty %.
Todd Callender:And we're going into World War three. At the outbreak of World War one, the stock market began to crash and they immediately shut the exchange down for four months. When they reopened the exchange, it crashed. When World War two broke out, the market crashed. Now what comes after that is different.
Todd Callender:Okay? So what I'm saying is we will have a stock market crash. When when the war comes, we will have a stock market crash. And it will probably be it will be, at least into into 2026, at least, maybe even in the spring of twenty seven. It will be horrific.
Todd Callender:Massive job losses, massive. Then the markets will begin to recover and take off as the war intensifies. And that happened in World War one and World War two. So the backdrop over the next two years is we're almost out of time. The financial system is is already on borrowed time.
Todd Callender:I do not believe and this is gonna get us into the election. I believe that Trump is going to win. I believe he is going to be the next president. Regardless of all the chicanery and shenanigans and all the Biden, he's going to be the president. And he is gonna preside over a complete collapse in the financial system, incoming war, both with the deep state.
Todd Callender:If you think what they've done to him and what we've endured in this country for the last since the assassination of JFK is bad, wait until the final battles they're awaiting the deep state and his administration. Okay? They are not going quietly into the night. I also believe for the people that think that Trump is somehow going to avert World War, I think he could very well get us into it. Well, let me rephrase that.
Todd Callender:The generals will have this war already keyed up. Okay? The Pentagon, look at look. Go back to JFK. Go back to what they were trying to get with Eisenhower.
Todd Callender:Go back like like, the war is coming is my point. And for conservatives to go, no. Trump will avoid it. Okay? Like, it didn't matter who was elected president in 1860.
Todd Callender:It's coming. It doesn't matter who is sitting in Philadelphia in 1776. They're signing a document, and the war is going to begin. Okay? And that's my point in in the conservatives putting their faith in one man that somehow he's gonna avert historical cycles and crisis.
Todd Callender:Okay? He can be used by God to navigate this nation through those crisis, but to put the weight of the world on him and say somehow he's gonna avert historical crisis periods? Don't put that on me. Don't put it on you. Like, that but but but come on.
Todd Callender:So I think that, and I think that we we will be the world will be in war no later than '27. No later. And it could be as early as this year. I mean, it's coming fast. And it's going and for the people that think that war is going to be fast, instantaneous, all of a sudden nukes are going off in a thousand cities and it's the end of the war.
Todd Callender:That's not history either. History is that's easy. That's your easy way out. A fast war is always your easy way out. What's hard is the perseverance of the saints.
Todd Callender:What is hard is year after year after year. Okay? And that's what all wars historically have been way longer. Look at the war on terrorists that we just got. I mean, twenty years, Vietnam.
Todd Callender:Right? World War two, World War oh, you get civil war. Like, they're always at least, a minimum, five years. Minimum. Sometimes they go on one or two decades.
Todd Callender:So when Martin Armstrong is saying it's about to begin and it's eight point it's at least eight point six years, He's right there in the historical average. And that I'm not prepared for that. I'll be honest with you. Because we've all been conditioned by watching these movies that, oh my gosh, in ninety minutes, somehow the whole thing is resolved whether positive or negatively. And it's a lifestyle.
Todd Callender:What what these wars are is they fundamentally alter society, and you don't do that in five minutes. Okay? It takes it it they're altering a generational mindset. That takes time, and it takes attrition. Whether it's it's find it phenomenal that today is June 6.
Todd Callender:You know, we didn't coordinate this to be talking about this on June 6. '80 years ago, one of the greatest battles. Like like, I've said it on your program, and I'll say it again. I'm not the reason I'm doing this, the reason I'm passionate about this, and the reason that I'm being very direct with you today is because I'm not gonna walk the streets of heaven and apologize to the founding fathers. I'm not doing it.
Todd Callender:I've already just I'm not doing it. I'm not having that conversation with our forefathers who who who gave everything so that you and I could have the freedom that we have today. I'm not doing it. And and and and so what I mean by that is it's time for all of us to stand up and be light. It's time for all of us to speak our mind.
Todd Callender:It it's it no. We don't have the luxury to acquiesce and to be silent anymore about anything about anything, especially things that we know are morally reprehensible. Okay? And we keep thinking we're just gonna let's be quiet. We'll go along.
Todd Callender:We'll get along, and somehow it's gonna get better. In my lifetime, it's never gotten better. We just are continuing to just step towards the abyss. And I I think that there's and maybe that's why I'm being direct There's a time when people just have to stand up and say, we're done. You're not going to take us to World War three.
Todd Callender:You're not gonna destroy the planet. You're not going you you're not gonna eviscerate the constitution and eviscerate our freedom and eviscerate like, and and where are where are they at? And and everybody's like, oh, no. It's gonna be at the ballot box. Really?
Todd Callender:Okay. You tell me how that works out. Seriously, in '25, '20 '6, '20 '7, tell me how much change was made at the ballot box. Okay. That's a starting point.
Todd Callender:We were given that, thank you, god, from our forefathers, but that's like that's not that's not a magic pill. That's one of the many responsibilities we have as citizens. But it doesn't start and stop there. And and and even on the right, that seems to be like we've forgotten about social contracts. We've forgotten about what our role and responsibility is as men and and fathers and husbands and like, what?
Todd Callender:You understand my disc I'm just very disconnected with the the right and what the whole strategy that's going about. Like, they're not it seems that the conservatives are always fighting yesterday's battle. The last person that showed us how to do this, there's three people in modern history. Gandhi brought down the British Empire, okay, by nonviolent means. Shortly thereafter, Martin Luther King Junior revolutionized this country and propelled his people forward through nonviolent means.
Todd Callender:We could go back two thousand years and Jesus and the revolution, he kick started through nonviolent means. All of them set set a vision. What what could life be like for the Indian people for blacks in The United States, for humanity? We haven't had that person in The United States since Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Todd Callender:Right? Morning in America? He began to speak to the American people and set forth a vision and call forth the best that was in all of us. K. If if we're gonna continue to talk about policies in in in in in debate legal rulings and laws, I'm telling you we're gonna descend into madness because that's ultimately what it's not about.
Todd Callender:It's about the gift God's given us that our forefathers fought out for, and it's calling forth and reminding every American of truly what we once were and what we can be again. And until we get men and women speaking like that, as far as I'm concerned, nothing is gonna change. We're just gonna cycle the drain and continue to debate the election and cycles and policies and that doesn't inspire anybody. It doesn't inspire me. I don't know if it inspired.
Todd Callender:And that's what we're getting out of leadership.
Seth Holehouse:At the very heart of our democracy lies a principle we hold sacred free speech. It's the cornerstone that supports every freedom we cherish. Yet in today's digital age, discussions about our wealth, our rights, and our future are being silenced or overshadowed in mainstream narratives, leaving many feeling voiceless in conversations crucial to our financial independence and security.

Seth Holehouse:So folks today, text ideas to 76626 to claim your free copy.
Todd Callender:But what I'm calling for, what this rant is about today is that you're a leader, and I'm a leader. Anybody can be a leader if they just stand up and speak truth to power. And it's speaking truth to power. We're not talking about grabbing a gun and going violent and all the nonsense. We're we're talking about literally not going quietly into the night.
Todd Callender:We're talking about speaking to evil and calling it out. And that's the problem in The United States. We've normalized this behavior, everybody's afraid to call it what it is. Okay? And they just keep moving the bar.
Todd Callender:We just keep moving the bar. We and we just keep waiting. That's my rant for the day, Seth. I'm sorry. That's
Seth Holehouse:It's it's it's important. And without, you know, going into to further details, because I think it's important to end at the right place as well with these discussions and and and capture the momentum of the conversation where where it leaves you to a place that people are reflective after hearing this. And what I'm again, what I appreciate with you is that you see this hundred thousand foot view. You're not getting lost in the day to day, and this makes a lot of sense to me. I know that you're a student of war.
Seth Holehouse:You're a former Special Forces. You're very well connected with people still active and retired, and not just the military, but also Pentagon level, you know, staff. And that what you're seeing, it's almost like go back to middle, you know, Middle Ohio where I grew up. Everyone's, you know, in Ohio, they're arguing at the town council over whether or not to build a new bridge, and there's a series of heated discussions, and the people that are running for things, and and there's a there's a giant, like, f five tornado coming. And that tornado tornado changes every aspect of the city council.
Seth Holehouse:The bridge won't even matter when the tornado arrives. And that's what you're seeing. And what you're seeing through looking at patterns, through looking at cycles, through looking at signs. I mean, even one sign will pull up here. Right?
Seth Holehouse:How Ukraine is now using our US weapons to strike inside of Russia. This is significant. So what I'm seeing is that you're recognizing all the different factors they're showing and telling us that war is coming and real war. Not just the five g psychological warfare, which is Operation Mockingbird, and it's it's, you know, that's here. We know that.
Seth Holehouse:But actual real war in ways that changes the face and the landscape of the entire earth. And I think that, well, of course, don't want that to happen. I also agree with you that there are cycles of history. And there's cycles of history that even Trump himself can't change. Even We the People can't necessarily change.
Seth Holehouse:So we have to rise up within that. So I think that your message today is important. And it's the kind of message I think is really important to have because it's not focused on the trivial day to day. What what Marjorie Taylor Greene look what she said to Fauci. And look at this, you know, this person this reporter was roasting Dan Crenshaw, and all that stuff is it's again, it's going back to the the analogy.
Seth Holehouse:There's a tornado coming, and people are arguing over, you know, the decorations on the table, the entryway to the city council meeting.
Todd Callender:You've got NATO telling you that war is coming. The head of NATO is telling you. The the the the prime ministers of these European countries. The United State the generals, the individual generals, whether it's in the Pacific Theater or in the European, are telling you it's coming. Okay?
Todd Callender:And and yet the American people, I guess they're deciding not to believe the generals and the leaders. I don't like, it's crazy. And then they're gonna I know people will listen to this broadcast and go, ah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Fine. Stick around.
Todd Callender:I mean, like, cycles, you you cannot alter cycles, whether they're economic cycles or historical cycles. But what you can do, and this is where God has given you individual choice and freedom, you will be held accountable for your decisions and for your choices made within these historical times that you find yourself in. Right? So I don't get to choose my parents, but I can honor them. I can obey them.
Todd Callender:I can respect them. I I might not agree with them all the time, but there there's a way that I can behave and I should behave. And I think that that's what what my call to is is, look, we need to be grabbing responsibility. We need to be taking it upon ourselves right now. We don't need to be pushing it away.
Todd Callender:In fact, we're in this mess because we've abdicated our roles and our our responsibilities for generations, not for five or ten years, for generations. We have handed it over to the professionals, the professional health care, the professional lawyers, the professional politician, like, the professional teaching class. Like, we're the minister. Like, we're we're constantly pushing all areas in our life back to the professionals instead of taking responsibility. And, that's one of the many reasons why we're in this mess.
Todd Callender:And and and and it's gonna come that's part of the fourth turning is where all those institutions fail. They all fail. The educate we go through education, health care, legal, the justice, the election. But all the institutions fail, and you're left with yourself, your family, your faith, your community. Maybe if you build some relation like, that's what's left.
Todd Callender:Okay? And so my so the question is, are you are you building those? Because if you're not building them now, you might as well stay asleep, seriously. You might well, I mean, enjoy the rest of the of the sleep. Don't even bother waking up.
Todd Callender:I mean, sir I mean, you know, it's we got people we got people that wanna argue about COVID. Like, four years later, we're moving on we're moving on. Like, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, like, we can debate the you can get locked up into that debate, but we're moving on. Like like, history is progressing, and that's what a lot of the American people are failing to comprehend.
Todd Callender:And and and then it's the speed. Right? It's the speed of everything. And and and you it's almost like a quickening. You you you know?
Todd Callender:It's it's and it it's it's because it's energetic fields and it and it's you're headed to that breaking point. And and when you start feeling these events, know, continuing to accelerate, that is your warning. That that it it's it's not it's not just gonna dissipate. Something's going to break, and it's and it's gonna break in ways that, you and I don't understand, and it's not going to be what you're looking at. So for example, back to the civil war and and all those wars, like, that flashpoint, nobody could predict the flashpoint.
Todd Callender:That's not the point. You don't get bonus points for a prize from predicting the flashpoint. That's why I don't care about getting locked into the details even even right now. Right? It's gonna be impossible to predict the day and the hour and and what the flash point is.
Todd Callender:But you can certainly look around you and go, this is the topic. What what do I mean by the topic? The topic in The United States over the next eight point six years is gonna be our role in the world among the Bricks, the Russians, the Chinese. Are we going to share that role, or are we going to fight an existential battle with them? And then it's the complete evisceration of the constitution and the justice system in The United States.
Todd Callender:Everything else falls into one of those main topics. Okay? And and each of us have been called to maybe fight in different domains. So people that are they're fighting against trans. Okay.
Todd Callender:That's great. I'm not telling you to abandon that. I'm I'm just giving context of what all these other battle spaces are really about. And to your point with the tornado in the town, that's exactly right. Look.
Todd Callender:If you're in combat, you do have battle spaces, and we've gotta take that village. And when and we and that village leads to that city and and that city, that country. And you've gotta be you've gotta be very in the game and paying attention to the details to take that. There's there's theaters of battle within theaters of battle. Right?
Todd Callender:But what? If they're gonna nuke the entire country, Does it really matter? And what's your and what's your plan b? What how are you gonna fall back out of that and not get just lured in? And there is a luring in to battle spaces by design.
Todd Callender:Right? And I think that that's part of what is happening even with the American people is they're being lured into these to deep into this this morass. Right? You follow where I'm going? They're being lured deeper into the countryside, deeper into these these domains of battle space and when they should be withdrawing.
Todd Callender:Okay? Getting perspective and understanding exactly where the danger is and where those the real battle. What is the real battle over? Yeah. Somebody could anyways, that's I I'm adamant stuff that we had time, you know, the last four or five, six, we had time.
Todd Callender:2016 was was a reprieve by God because we were close. And we got a four year reprieve, but I don't think we're getting a reprieve. I think we're I think time is almost out. And yeah. But what do I know?
Seth Holehouse:If not now, then when? Aaron, it's, been great speaking with you. I appreciate you coming on. Important messages. And we'll have to do an update at some point, you know, as the, the year unfolds.
Seth Holehouse:I think it'll be very eventful. I hope a lot of this hasn't come to pass, but I think that that's not within my own control. So thank you for being a voice of wisdom and discernment in in these topics. It's it's it's an important conversation we just had.
Todd Callender:I appreciate that stuff. And I appreciate all that you guys are doing and really enjoy your your shows as well.
Seth Holehouse:Fantastic. Well, take care and God bless Aaron. Alright, folks. I hope you enjoyed that interview. I'm not gonna be jumping into a very, very important interview that's very short.
Seth Holehouse:As you know, if you've been watching this show, one topic I've been consistently covering is the battle, the financial battle between the BRICS nations, right, primarily, you know, Russia, China, India, some of these these powerhouse nations, in addition to all the other nations that are joining Middle Eastern countries, Turkey, etcetera. What they're doing in their economic war against the Western financial system that is fundamentally tied to the US dollar, the fiat currency that we know of as the US dollar that has maintained its its dominance in the world as the world reserve currency, primarily because it is the petrodollar. It's a fifty year old agreement that basically says, hey, Middle East, if you trade oil in our US dollar, we'll protect your crimes, and we'll protect your oil routes, and we'll do all kinds of stuff with our military, which we're funding by overprinting the dollar insanely, that is propped up because you're making bill trade oil in the US dollar, creating global demand for it. It's all supply and demand. It's how currencies work.
Seth Holehouse:Something absolutely significant and historical has just happened, and this is such an important episode for you to tune into folks. Because just yesterday, right on Sunday, the fifty year agreement that Saudi Arabia, One of the world's largest oil producers had with The United States, the fifty year petrodollar agreement came to an end. Now the question is, was Saudi Arabia going to renew that? And they said, no. So the petrodollar, as we know it, is officially over.
Seth Holehouse:Now, these things don't happen, and you'll see instant effects where say you go to, you know, to this store tomorrow, and you can't buy a loaf of bread with a hundred bucks. No, it's not like that, but this is kicking off a series of significant events. Now, simultaneously, what we've had happen is that the BRICS nations have officially announced the development of their new currency, which is also massive. And the fact that this is happening within a couple of day window of Saudi Arabia rejecting the petrodollar is absolutely significant and not just a coincidence. You've also got the development of Enbridge, which we're getting into today, which is a global payment system that will help basically tie in all these central bank digital currencies, potentially backed by gold, which is also significant.
Seth Holehouse:So folks, this is gonna be a wild episode, and the ramifications that, you know, this might seem like some financial news. Right? Might be like, oh, okay. You're talking about what's happening with the dollar. This right here is the what underpins almost everything that we know in our lives.
Seth Holehouse:The success that we've had here in America, the beautiful lavish life that we've lived here, we want for very few things here for most people. Even people that are on poverty level, we're still, you know, a lot of them still have cell phones and TVs and everything. We're not, you know, living in a third world country, though it feels like it sometimes, but what we've achieved here in America is so so tied to the fact that our dollar has had global demand because of this petrodollar agreement. Right? So this is what has propped up our currency.
Seth Holehouse:It's what's allowed the Fed to print untold amounts of US dollar. It's what's allowed us to keep raising the debt ceiling because there's just been this demand for the US dollar. Well, folks, this is a major, major blow to that demand, and honestly, we'll get into it in today's episode, but I would expect that we're gonna start seeing countries really starting to back away from the dollar, start dumping treasuries, and what you're gonna see happening at the same time as that is our people and our government freaking out absolutely. Now, one thing I'll tell you is that if you go to, CNBC, right, one of the biggest financial news websites is talking to your average mainstream person in America that wants to understand what's happening in the markets. Guess what's not anywhere to be found on CNBC?
Seth Holehouse:Nope. There's no mention of the petrodollar. There's no mentions of bricks or mentions of the bricks currency system or Putin. So you can see that most people in America, unfortunately, are gonna be blindsided by this turn of events because people aren't being told what's really happening. And what's really happening in these this global financial system is absolutely significant.
Seth Holehouse:So folks, joining us today is my good friend Kirk Elliott. Please enjoy tuning into this interview because it's gonna be a very important one. Kirk, it's great to have you back on. And boy, is there some big news for us to discuss today. So thanks for being here.
Speaker 3:I mean, monumental paradigm shifting things that we're gonna talk about. I mean, it's I don't know, quite honestly, Seth, if I've seen any financial news that ultimately is gonna have a larger impact than what we're gonna talk about.
Seth Holehouse:I agree. And me saying
Todd Callender:that
Seth Holehouse:is different than you saying that. Someone who's lives in the world of of economy and has a PhD in economy economics and understands this exactly. So let's just jump right in. You and I have been talking about bricks, the petrodollar, all this for quite some time now. So let me just let me just read this because the news speaks for itself.
Seth Holehouse:Saudi Arabia's Petrodollar exit, a global finance paradigm shift. So and this is just out today. It says, the financial world is bracing for a significant upheaval following Saudi Arabia's decision not to renew its fifty year petro dollar deal with The United States which expired on Sunday, 09/2024. So this is exactly what we've been talking about, that the petrodollar, the world you know, the dollar as the world reserve currency has its value because of global demand, and global demand is because it's the petrodollar. And we've seen a lot of these countries, especially in The Middle East, shying away from the dollar, opening up oil and gas trades in, you know, Chinese yuan, the ruble, the Indian rupee, But that's huge news.
Seth Holehouse:What do you make of this, Kirk?
Speaker 3:So the reason why I think this is so massive is look throughout time. I don't think you and I can remember a time when every single year at the end of the fiscal year, the U. S. Government didn't come up for a vote to raise the debt ceiling. Right.
Speaker 3:So easy decision for politicians to make because we have a printing press that has a built in demand for our currency. Doesn't matter if we treat it like monopoly money. It doesn't matter because we could print, print, print, print, print, and there's always going to be demand for US dollars because oil settlements are traded in US dollars. That's the petrodollar. And you go back to the 1970s when it became the petrodollar, and it was used as a mechanism to provide stability to the global marketplace and oil settlements.
Speaker 3:Right? That's why they did it. That's also why you have a reserve currency is for the same reason. So transactions between country have some kind of stabilizing force or else it's just willy nilly all over the place. So what currency are we going to use?
Speaker 3:Right? So that's why you have a reserve currency, and that's why you have a petrodollar. So pretty much in one fell swoop, The US lost both of them this year. Right? So the reserve currency status, it's not like they've actually renamed a Bretton Woods 4 or something like that and named it yet.
Speaker 3:But for all intents and purposes, with 70% of the world's population, you know, a part of the BRICS nations, and they, A, started to trade in their own currencies back and forth to de dollarize the world. Well, now taking it one step further, they want to have their own common native BRICS currency. Right. And to actually amplify matters, it's like you can't just come up with a currency and say, We're going to be the world's reserve currency. No, the US dollar still was, right?
Speaker 3:So they to eliminate the dollar standard. That's what this decision just did, which is why I say it's so monumental, because now when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling, they're going to have to think twice. It's like, do we raise it? Do we devalue the dollar even more? What's that going to do for international demand?
Speaker 3:Boy, we're going to have to raise interest rates because that's inflation. What are we going to do? Every time they have a spending bill, some kind of an omnibus spending package, any time they decide they've got Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, women, infant, children program, food stamps, any entitlements or Department of Defense spending or infrastructure or you name it. We now have to think about it, which they should have always thought about it. I mean, let's be real.
Speaker 3:But when you have built in demand for the currency, politicians simply just didn't for decades. The world is about to change at this pendulum shifting moment. And this is, I believe, when Putin said back in August of last year that he's going to de dollarize the world, that's the BRICS objective and it's irreversible. I think he knew that this day was coming, right, because they were talking in the BRICS nations about adding United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Argentina, Iran. Right?
Speaker 3:They were talking about that. And so now, as of last week, Turkey wants to be admitted into the BRICS nations. Well, Turkey's possibly the largest Muslim population country in The Middle East and part of NATO. What's that going to do to NATO if Turkey leaves? It's like, Oh boy, this is going to be wild, right?
Speaker 3:So for all intents and purposes, the BRICS nations added six of the nine largest oil producers in the world. If they get Turkey, they add even more. And so there was this article that I saw, and this is all pertaining to the Saudi Arabian speech that you just talked about. So when you look at some of these stories, some of the things that are happening, the Fed on Let's see the date of this. So on May 30, the Fed admitted that some countries are moving towards gold.
Speaker 3:Okay, so it's like, But it's only a few, not a big deal. Which which four countries were they referring to? China with 1,400,000,000 people, India with 1,400,000,000 people, Russia with a 44,000,000, Turkey with 85. So that's 3,000,000,000 people. That's 37 and a half percent of the world's population.
Seth Holehouse:Well, look look at this. This I'll read this. It is it's almost comical. Says the decline in the dollar preferences of a small group of countries, notably China, India, Russia, and Turkey. What a small you know, it's not like, you know, Uruguay, and and, you know, Madagascar, and I mean, these are these are those three or four countries, China, India, Russia, Turkey, it's it's almost half the world's population.
Seth Holehouse:It's it's it's insane. But I'll throw one more thing in there just to add to the overall insanity is that right now, just just checking, you go to cnbc.com, which arguably is one of the the main financial hubs for your common retail investors and your people that are looking to understand what's happening. Not a single mention that I can find just in a quick look on the entire homepage, talking about how Saudi Arabia has declined to renew the petrodollar agreement, or not a single mention of the BRICS new BRICS currency, which we're gonna talk about, which is also massive right now, and then in in the news that matters, it just shows you is that they're hiding this from people. The folks that watch this show, they know what's going on, but the average person, you say, you follow what's happened with the bricks? And they're like, yeah, you know, they're using lumber a lot more in building.
Seth Holehouse:They're not using really brick anymore. It's like, most people just don't know, but the folks that are watching you and I, of course, like that they're they're smart people, but just it's insane that the that the Fed downplaying the fact, like, again, going back to this that, well, you know, the decline in the dollar preferences of a small group of countries, half the world's population bay almost, and the large increase in the quantity of reserves held by Switzerland explain most of the decline in the aggregate dollar share of reserves. I mean, this is the is de dollarization. This is the beginning of the end of the this this dollar based fiat system that they they've been using to absolutely destroy us and keep us enslaved. Sorry to steal steal away from you.
Seth Holehouse:I just had to jump to that.
Speaker 3:It it was a great jump because okay. So this is step number one. Right? So they're saying that they're not going to use dollars in exchange for oil. So what are they going to use?
Speaker 3:Right? That's the second part of the equation. Well, I would say since Saudi Arabia is now part of the BRICS nations, they're either gonna use the yuan or they're gonna use a common BRICS currency because that's the end goal here. Right? And when you look at statements that Putin's making, even statements that the BRICS nations are making, they're ready for their own common currency.
Speaker 3:But until they get to that point, they will probably use the yuan, right? Because maybe it's not ready yet, maybe it's coming. But either way, it's away from the dollar, pushing demand for currencies in the BRICS nations up. And and you can see this pendulum shifting from the West to the East. And and here's the thing.
Speaker 3:I don't think we're going to get it back. Right? So even here's here's the ugly reality. Even when Trump comes back, what is what is he gonna do if 70% of the world says we're not using the US dollar? Not even Trump could get that back.
Speaker 3:Now what Trump would be able to do is amazing things and start to actually have reason with our spending and do it within the constraints of what we should have been doing for decades. And it's like, hey, if we don't have the revenue, we're not going to spend it. Right? You can make America very profitable and prosperous once again, even without a reserve currency. I mean, look at some of these countries like Switzerland and others that are very prosperous countries.
Speaker 3:They just don't carry a lot of debt. And so we can do that. But I think our days are numbered, it's almost like having the reserve currency status is a curse, because at some point, the rest of the world, you lose favor. The rest of the world doesn't want your currency because it's not like America has been the reserve currency since the beginning of time. No, it's been since 1944.
Speaker 3:Prior to that, it was the British sterling pound. Prior to that, you had the Dutch currency, the Portuguese currency, the Greece. I mean, it never lasts. And it's almost like a curse because the country that has the reserve currency will print more of their currency to establish the monetary supply needed for international demand, and that leaves you with a bunch of debt. And when the rest of the world says, we don't want that anymore, you've squandered your time in the sun, what are you left with?
Speaker 3:A bunch of debt. So here's where I think we are headed towards that. And China really, really, really wants what we had, and that is to be the global manufacturing, economic, political, military superpower of the world. And having the reserve currency is is part of that. And I think they just got it.
Speaker 3:Right? For all intents and purposes, they got it with 70% of the population trading in their own currency. And now Saudi Arabia getting rid of the dollar as the petrodollar It's now going to be the petro you want. Or if Russia has their way, it's going to be the petro bricks currency backed by gold. I mean, it's it's because they want to peg a barrel of oil to one gram of gold in Russia.
Speaker 3:It's what one of their Russian main economists had said. It's like, this is their goal. Decouple oil from currency altogether and simply couple it with gold. Now who would that benefit? That would benefit the countries of the world that own massive amounts of gold, like China, that have 30,000 tons of gold backing their currency.
Speaker 3:That's who it benefits. If you're trading oil and it's pegged to gold, that would only benefit them. See, there's masterful type thinking behind some of these decisions that they're making in the BRICS nations, and sad to say, we're we're losing that battle.
Seth Holehouse:We completely are. Absolutely. And it's it's, you know, he who, you know, he who holds the gold make the rules. Right? Makes the rules.
Seth Holehouse:And we're seeing that. So who does it benefit? It it benefits the sovereign banks, the countries that are buying up and holding gold, which we've talked a lot about. It benefits the companies, the individuals that have bought gold and silver. They've been patient.
Seth Holehouse:They're waiting. They see the storm coming and see what what's on the horizon and know how how vulnerable the US dollar is, especially with the amount of printing and the amount of debt that we're in. It's like, it's it's it's almost like something you see it spinning faster and faster and faster, and you're just waiting for the whole thing to come apart. You know what's gonna happen. We're blowing a balloon You know what's gonna pop after a certain point, and so a lot of people are really patient.
Seth Holehouse:They they bought gold and silver five, ten years ago, they're waiting and waiting, but they're smart because they know what's coming. But what's crazy, if you look at the timing, so June 9, the fifty year Petrodollar agreement ends, Saudi Arabia declines to renew, and at the same time, and it's what the you know, this is June 7, Brix officially announces independent payment system. So this is absolutely insane timing. So here that this article, this is on, watcher.guru says, in what is a landmark development, the Brix Economic Alliance has officially announced that it is launching an independent payment system. Indeed, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed the work being done on the project at the SPEIF, twenty twenty four conference taking place in country.
Seth Holehouse:So he just disclosed that the alliance is, quote, working on our own independent payment system free from political pressure, abuse, and external interference. Conversely, the discussions of an of integrating a BRICS center payment system have been a focus of the block for much of the last year. So this is huge. This is huge. The fact that this is happening I mean, they they you know, they're master strategists, right?
Seth Holehouse:The the Chinese, the Russians, they're master strategists. The US should be, but we've got, you know, we won't get into what's going on in The United States, and so you can see the same timing of that they know that the the Petrodol agreement is coming to an end. It's ending. They probably they've probably known for months Saudi Arabia was not gonna renew. Right?
Seth Holehouse:And now, just happened to be coincidentally, here's their new Brix payment system that is probably very close to launching, which a lot of people are speculating will be backed by gold or tied to gold in some way, or tied to other, commodities, oil, silver, etcetera. I mean, this is just this is significant. This is absolutely significant.
Speaker 3:Massively significant. And the Bank for International Settlement, Seth, has been working on Project Embridge. I mean, can Google it. Just go to look up Project Embridge, the letter M in bridge for Bank for International Settlements. That's the mechanism that's going to tie all these central bank digital currencies together specifically.
Speaker 3:Yes, that particular one right there. They're ready for financial integration between countries, including central bank digital currencies backed by gold. They're figuring out the exchange rates and how all these different digital currencies can come together. And I think the next logical step is, remember a couple of weeks ago when the Fed announced or the House basically said, No, we're not going to allow central bank digital currency issued by the Fed, and everyone was cheering about how amazing that was. It's like, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3:It's going to be issued by the IMF or the Bank for International Settlements or the World Bank, some kind of global entity. And that project there proves that they want to pull all of these together under one central clearinghouse. And to me, it's weird timing that you would have Saudi Arabia, Putin's comment, the BRICS nations and Project Enbridge all happening within a week of each other. And I think that's not a coincidence. And I think how do you prepare yourself and protect yourself against that juggernaut?
Speaker 3:Because that's big. These are tectonic shifts in the global monetary system. And that's why gold and silver make so much so much sense. I mean, literally so much sense to get out of their digital world, to get out of that. Enslavement is what I would call it when they can cut you off from buying or selling if they don't like you or they don't like your ideology, they don't like what you're doing.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's And whenever anybody can tell you what to spend and with whom and when and why and how, that's enslavement, right? So you get out of that by having something that's tangible, having something that's real, having something that's not digital, having something that's not a certificate, just a random worthless piece of paper. And I think that is our exit strategy out of this kind of a unified ledger system.
Seth Holehouse:Well, it's also uncoupling from the dollar. It's it's understanding what what gives the dollar its value, and what takes away the dollar's value. And if you look at the overprinting, you look what's happening with bricks, I mean, the US dollar is a runaway train. It's speeding up faster and faster, and it's headed towards a cliff. And and there's no like, when you piece all this together, right?
Seth Holehouse:Socrates talks about how there's not it's very hard to arrive at absolute truths. What you do is you look for patterns. You look for patterns that appear to help show you what is true, because truth will manifest as truth in all different scenarios you look at it. And so what we're seeing with this is that we're seeing everything pointing towards the dollar having hyperinflation as the more and more, you know, countries around the world start dumping treasuries because they've lost confidence in the dollar, because they've lost confidence in The United States under the current administration. And you see where all this spells, what all this spells is a collapse.
Seth Holehouse:Right? A fine, you know, extreme financial difficulty for the dollar and wherever it's wherever it's it's basically injected itself. And so for it's almost like people are on that train, and it's speeding up, and you know, no conductor, and you see the cliff in the horizon, like, know what, it'll be okay. It's always been okay. I'm just gonna keep doing things as I've always done it, you know, keep things just as you know, safe in the 401 ks and the stock market, hey, it's doing great.
Seth Holehouse:It's a it's a willful blindness, think, of what is actually happening in the world. And and I think what you and I have talked about, you want you want to see a pattern that shows what's really happening, that helps point toward the truth, this is it. Mean, we're really rapidly heading towards that cliff of true de dollarization, and true, potentially, I would say hyperinflation, which is what it looks like.
Speaker 3:I would say so.
Seth Holehouse:We say de dollarization, what it really means is hyperinflation until the currency dies. And and yeah. So anyway, gold and silver. So this is the other train. Right?
Seth Holehouse:This is the the the slow moving, reliable train. It's not heading towards a cliff. It's heading towards a mountain of of, you know, probably on you know, that we haven't seen before, which we're already at right now. So if folks want to talk to you specifically, Kirk, someone I trust personally, about gold and silver, what's that process look like?
Speaker 3:So one of two ways to get in touch with the first, you can either go to the linkgoldwithseth.com, or you can just simply call us. See if you wanna jump the headline, I suppose. (720) 605-3900, and just say, Seth told you to call. Then what we'll do is you'll talk to one of my amazing schedulers. They will ask you a few questions on what you want to protect, right, and get you an appointment with one of our consultants where we'll dig in deep.
Speaker 3:We'll hear your fears. We'll listen to your concerns, your goals, what you want. Do you want growth? Do you want income? Are you close to retirement?
Speaker 3:Are you young? So then we can craft a strategy for success moving forward to get out of the path of this hurricane using precious metals to do so. That's what we'll help you with. And it's a really easy process. We want to make the transition easy, the burden light, just let you know what we think.
Speaker 3:And then your decision after that is, Hey, Kurt, go take a long walk off a short pier. I'm not interested. Or you can say, That sounds amazing. It's totally up to you. Our goal and mission and calling is to just equip you with what you need to make a decision for yourself.
Seth Holehouse:I'll also just say, as we finish up, that not all gold companies are equal. And I used to work in the the metals and and jewelry industry, and there's a lot of corruption. And there are a lot of companies, and I've talked about with this with you, off, you know, off camera, where you've you've revealed, you know, showing me invoices for different companies that people have sent you. A lot of companies, and professional companies are targeting individuals or targeting conservatives that understand what's happening, and they're selling gold and silver at insanely inflated rates. So Yeah.
Seth Holehouse:Just a just a word of warning, if you have someone that you trust, great. If you don't though, make sure you find someone you can trust. I trust you. That's why I work with you. That's why I'm confident sending even my best friends and family to you because I trust you.
Seth Holehouse:And that's key. So Kirk, thanks again for coming. Pretty significant. I'd say it's a historical announcements that we've been reviewing today. I'm looking forward to reviewing this and and continuing to follow this story because to me, this is the biggest story, I think potentially of our generation, like the the implications of this.
Seth Holehouse:And thank you for for being a a knowledgeable guide on this journey.
Speaker 3:You are welcome. It's my pleasure.
Seth Holehouse:Alright, man. Take care, God bless. So a lot of folks are not a big fan of all fruits and veggies. Some taste great, but many don't. And you have to admit when you're in the produce section, all those vibrant colors of fruits and veggies, so good.
