Is It Time To Pull the Covid Shots Off the Market?

Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here live from the Bitcoin.com studio. Dr. Marty McCary, commissioner of the FDA, joins the program and he makes some major news. We talk about should the Covid shot still be on the schedule for children, the child vaccination schedule? We talk about the food pyramid and are we going to get rid of pharmaceutical advertisement on TV?

Big news made here with Dr. Marty McCary. Then we also have my very good friend Colin Plume from NobleGoldInvestments.com. We talk about a lot but also including why drinking is really bad for you, why maybe you should stop putting poison in your body. Really fun conversation.

Go to noblegoldinvestments.com. A great honor to have with us the commissioner of the FDA and on this very exciting news day, Dr. Marty Makary. Doctor, great to see you. Congratulations in your role, of course. Tell us the significance of President Trump's announcement and declaration today. Well, thanks, Charlie.

Great to see you and good to be with you. So politicians have been talking about this for a long time. And this is one of those common sense things that nobody has been willing to actually do. And this is what I love about President Trump. Here you have Americans paying 10, 12 or 15 times more for the same medication that Germans or British folks or people in France are getting at the lower price.

And nobody has said, stop, wait a minute, what's going on here? By the way, sometimes these are American companies that are price gouging Americans as other wealthy nations get these sweetheart low prices. So the president has basically said no longer. And he's not saying it as a, you know, looking for small incremental changes. He wants dramatic changes to create a level playing field. He wants to make sure Americans can get the same most favored nation status price that these other countries are getting.

And I think you're going to see a real change in the price of these medications when you pick them up at the pharmacy and in the medical bill, meaningful changes that are going to be pretty massive. So talk about what is most favored nation status? This sounds so rational.

This sounds so common sense. Tell us what is favored nation status. And then, if you will, strongman the opposition argument as to what is some of the opposition we can expect now that this has been signed.

Yeah, good point. So most favored nation status is a declaration that Americans deserve, they deserve the best price of a medication that is sold to wealthy countries, what we call OECD countries. So we're not saying we need the price that Ethiopia has or other poor countries. We're saying we want the price that wealthy nations get. They negotiate prices.

They have a free market. Why is the United States paying for all this R&D and upfront costs from basically price gouging Americans? Now, some will say that it will mean lower profits for pharma. Well, pharma has to figure out why they are charging such a lower price in other countries. They need to reconcile this massive disparity. And some might say that there might be less money for R&D.

Well, I don't think so. Pharma is pretty smart. They're going to create a level playing field because we are asking them to and we're doing it in a kind way. But we are also letting them know that we have the full regulatory authority of Medicare, of the Federal Trade Commission, of the Trade Representative, of the Department of Justice to ensure no monopoly pricing. And even at FDA, we have good relationships with pharma and we also have some carrots and sticks.

So you're seeing an incredible coordinated effort come around now to try to bring this, to bring it home and to actually make it happen. This is something politicians have talked about, but no one's made it happen. They've probably been worried about the pharma lobby, which is a massive lobby in Washington, D.C. I actually think when we see lower prices for Americans, you're going to see more access for lower income and minority communities. They have had a tough time paying high prices in the health care system across the board.

Hospital bills, doctors' bills, drug prices. So we're actually going to see more access, not less, as some may argue when they say that, you know, R&D is going to take a hit from this. That's going to mean less going to mean less drugs available. I think you're going to see more availability.

Yeah. So that has been the response I've received just by text messages, friends, donors, a turning point. Oh, my goodness, this is going to bankrupt the pharmaceutical incentive model.

But I think, first of all, their profits are at all time highs. And again, it's amazing to me that Joe Biden didn't do this. Barack Obama didn't do this. Is this just a matter of the act of the will? It took enough courage to stand up to the pharmaceutical companies.

Is it as simple as that? Yes, it is, because Barack Obama talked about doing this. Bernie Sanders has talked about this a fair bit. Bill Clinton talked about this.

Matter of fact, in his second term, he talked about it a lot, but all of them came short of actually doing it because it takes a bold move where you're willing to go up against massive special interests and lobbyists to get this done. But it's also something that sort of polls very low among the lobbyist community, but polls very high on Main Street among everyday Americans. So I think you're going to see some really amazing activity on this. And I'm excited to be a part of it.

Yeah. And so let's go deeper into that means so many Americans have to go into medical debt and have to compromise their lifestyle for necessary drug medications. I'm sure that you have a lot of data to support that. There's a debate now of how much money people actually save. What estimates do you say that the average American can now save on their prescription drugs?

Well, we're going to say we're going to work hard at this. There's a lot of things we can do at FDA. One of the main issues in drug pricing is monopoly pricing. So at the FDA, we can do more to bring more generics to market. We can move drugs to over the counter where there's more price transparency. And we can also facilitate the generic version of these expensive drugs called biologics.

There are the things that are running nonstop. After I do a TV interview, they, you know, OK, thank you, Dr. Makary, for coming on and then nonstop ads for these biologics. Why is it because there's an epidemic that's new around the conditions that they treat?

No, it's because they're gouging Americans and the proxy payers for Americans, their employer groups and their insurance plans. And so those biologics have generic versions that are much less expensive. They're called biosimilars. And the FDA has been slow to get those biosimilars to market.

There's a lot of reasons for it. We're going to streamline that and we're going to encourage more biologics. And let's remember, we got the Maha Commission report coming out next Thursday, May 22nd. And the best way to lower drug prices in the United States are to stop taking drugs we don't need. That's right.

That's right. I'm so glad. So this is a breakthrough to hear from the FDA commissioner.

This is why I worked so hard to get President Trump elected. Is it true, Mr. Director, that we don't need a pill for every ill? We don't. And it's not helping. The more antidepressants we prescribe, the more depression there is, the more ADHD medications we prescribe, the more ADHD there is, the more opioids that were prescribed, the more opioid addiction there is. I mean, we are going backwards.

We're not in a good place. We're watching our nation's kids sick, putting their hand on their belly because they don't feel well. That makes them depressed.

It brings on so many problems. There's learning loss. There's all kinds of neurodegenerative disorders that are on the rise. I was told a lot of lies in medical school. One of them was that Alzheimer's was going up because we have an aging population that's expanding.

Well, guess what? Early onset Alzheimer's has gone up threefold in recent decades. That's not explained by an expanding early population. Kids are not overweight and have diabetes and pre-diabetes because of a willpower problem. This is something adults have done to children. And the F in FDA stands for food, which is why we're looking not just at removing all petroleum-based food dyes, as we announced two weeks ago, we're looking at all chemical ingredients in the U.S. food supply that are banned in other countries that have concerning health issues. And that is our focus. It's on food, not just on drugs. Are you challenging these pharmaceutical companies about the efficacy and the safety of some of these drugs? Sometimes these drugs have side effects that a lot of people are not always properly read into.

About one minute remaining. Absolutely. Look, we have to safeguard public safety. That is the number one mission of the FDA.

That means no more pill popping, having no idea what you're taking. It means we take a look at ads on television to make sure you're getting accurate claims as to what the side effects are. So we're going to use the full extent of all the regulatory authority we have to make sure people are properly informed and not just... We are drugging our nation's kids at scale, and nobody has been talking about root causes.

We need to look at everything. food you can actually trust. Unlike imported meat, all Good Ranchers products are 100% boring, raised, and harvested in America from local family farms. Now more than ever, you need to switch to Good Ranchers because Good Ranchers is tariff proof due to their 100% American supply chain. So while new tariffs make grocery store prices unpredictable, Good Ranchers stay consistent. And if you subscribe to any Good Ranchers box today, you'll get your pick of free meat for life. That's Wagyu burgers, hot dogs, bacon, or chicken wings in every box for the lifetime for your subscription. Use my exclusive code Kirk at checkout, you'll get an extra $40 off your first box.

So a question, doctor, that I'm getting from a lot of people, and I know that you're getting it as well, and feel free to answer it however you feel appropriate, is whether the COVID shot will remain on the child vaccination schedule. And I know that this is hotly debated. We believe on this program, it should not be on the child vaccination schedule. Are you guys thinking about this? Your thoughts, commissioner? Look, I'd love to see the evidence to show that giving young healthy children another COVID shot, you know, a sixth COVID booster would help them, but that evidence does not exist. And so we're not just going to rubber stamp things at the FDA. And I don't think you're going to see a push at the CDC to be pushing COVID shots in young healthy children. That is something that's being discussed right now. I think you're going to see some announcement on that in the coming weeks, but I know they are trying to review all of the scientific data.

And guess what? There's no data, there's no good randomized controlled data that the current version, the latest formulation of the COVID shot is necessary for young healthy children. Other countries have already recommended against it. Other leading countries in Europe have recommended against it for young healthy children. So I think you're going to see a look at this and you're going to hear something forthcoming.

Well, I'm thrilled to hear that. And as you know, the significance also is once you are on the childhood vaccination schedule, with it becomes other immunity protections. So there's other kind of very sinister elements associated the liability protections. So Mr. Commissioner, what I love about your approach is that the FDA sometimes only focuses on the D and not the F. It seems as if all the focus is on the drugs and not the food. One of the let's just say charter mission statements of my life and of this program is that the thing you do the most is the stuff you eat. So you should be eating good stuff, not bad stuff. Are you thinking of blowing up the food pyramid?

This is like the third rail. I know that this might have a whole committee associated with it, but how we ever got to the place where we think that carbohydrates like gluten and wheat and rice are better for you than healthy fats and meat, the entire food pyramid honestly is, I think, largely propaganda by some of our food companies. I know that's another tough issue to tackle, but talk about the F in the FDA, please.

Well, I think at minimum it's propaganda. It's probably one of the greatest pieces of misinformation put out by the United States government on health is that food pyramid. That was not about what's good for your health. It was about what companies wanted you to buy.

And so that has done a tremendous amount of damage in all seriousness. You have kids now that are growing up sick because of that food pyramid. You have companies that got rich because of that food pyramid. You have doctors and scientists who put their head in the sand because they were afraid to challenge that food pyramid.

Well, we're not afraid to challenge it. The FDA is actively involved in revising our nutrition guidance. The secretary has asked us to make that front and center. You're going to see a new framework for health put out by the Maha Commission next week. You're seeing an enlightenment right now, recognizing it's not calories in, calories out.

That's the old misinformation dogma. It matters what those calories are. Your macros. That's right. Exactly. Your macros. You can't just pump in ultra processed foods and think, you know, all sugar is you can't it can be broken down into a calorie energy expenditure.

It matters. People have got to be eating whole foods, natural foods, things that appear in nature. And we have turned a blind eye to that as a government until now.

The final one, doctor. And, you know, it's all I know this is another toughie, just something to think about is one of the reasons why the pharmaceutical companies are able to basically put forward a pill for every ill is the fact that they're able to dominate our news networks. I know you talked about this during covid and they're able to buy so much television advertising. Is it even legal to say that you're not allowed to advertise certain drugs on TV? Is it good for us? Has the amount of advertising that pharmaceutical companies do, has it improved the health of our Americans? And what are you guys thinking about here? Well, we're looking at that, Charlie, the secretary and the president have asked us to look at that because people may not be getting a fair representation of what these drugs do and their side effects. You're not always dancing and singing every time you take one of these medications. I mean, sometimes you watch these commercials nonstop and you think, OK, I give up, I'll take it.

I don't know what it's for, but I'll take it. And so we're looking at everything. As you may know, one of my first actions as FDA commissioner was to remove pharma and industry members from FDA advisory committees wherever statutorily possible. We want American pharma companies to thrive and businesses doing a business in the United States to thrive. But we want a user friendly process for pharma. We want to partner with them. We want to facilitate innovation and discoveries and cures.

But the scientific review process and the integrity of the FDA must remain independent. And that is our commitment as a administration. Could not agree more. If you ask my opinion, ban it all. There's no good use to be able to advertise, I don't know, this nonsense on TV of people dancing in the hills and the meadows. Ban it.

We'd be a better country because of it. Thank you so much, Commissioner. Great to see you. Thank you.

Good to be with you, Charlie. The world is waking up to the power of gold. National banks are scrambling to secure it. According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying. They understand what many investors don't, gold is real money. Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending or market crashes. Now, Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.

As our new administration works to reverse the economic chaos of the past, market swings are inevitable. When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom. Gold can be that foundation. And right now, when you make a qualified investment, Noble Gold will send you a free tenth ounce of a cold coin. Visit NobleGoldInvestments.com. That's NobleGoldInvestments.com. The world is turning to gold. Shouldn't you be looking into doing that, too? We are just having a great conversation with my friend here, Colin Plume.

Colin, great to see you. We were talking about not drinking. Yes. Yes. We should talk about that in a second.

Please. Yeah. So I saw your interview with Newsome and it was a great interview overall. But the thing that stuck with me is he asked you about why you quit drinking. And you said, I want to be more successful or I want to be successful or I wanted to be more more successful.

Yeah. And I quit drinking a year and a half ago. And I'm actually writing a book about it that will come out about quitting drinking.

Yeah, that's amazing. Tell me about what it's done for my life. And well, I just I think as a business owner and a father and I, you know, you even if you didn't drink all week and then Friday night you had a few, I would wake up Saturday morning, just be tired and not engaged with my kids as much as I wanted to. And then so that was one aspect. And then it was just the ups and downs of owning a business. You know, the stress, the anxiety. I mean, you know.

Oh, yeah. And I wanted to just test it out. So I had a major surgery.

I had my hip replaced and I said, I'm just going to try it after the surgery. And I just felt better and better. And I felt quicker. Yes. And I could and I think the most important thing is, is that I was able to like when I had struggles, I was able to recover from them quicker. Right.

I mean, I don't know what you have, how it's. No, I mean, like, look, I mean, I haven't had a drink in, what, four or five years and I was never a serious drinker at all. But it was one of those conscious decisions that, you know, I wanted to be more successful. Yes. And I would go long.

By the way, I would go like a year without a drink or nine months. Right. Yeah.

But it wasn't I wasn't like hard stop. And then I got married with my wife, Erica, and I was like, I want to go to the next level. I want to remember things. Yes. With more clarity. I want to be sharper. I want to be more precise.

I want to be able to study. And then I also, to your point, the mornings are way better, way better. Absolutely. And also, you do not sleep. I mean, literally, you do not sleep if you have too much alcohol in your system. Correct. Your body's not sleeping. You're just sedated. You don't get into actual deeper.

I'm sure you've done all the research. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I have a good friend that I've been trying to convince him to take some time off. And the first month that he stopped, he's like, I'm not sleeping as well. And I'm like, actually, you're finally sleeping. You're actually finally sleeping.

He just didn't know what sleep was. Correct. And by the way, that increases your inflammatory markers and all that. Sure. Do you think it's helped your business? One hundred percent. Yeah, absolutely. Just, you know, clarity, conversations, employees, like interactions like my I'm not as I'm never a pretty even keel person generally.

But from time to time, I would, you know, get frustrated. That's most of that's gone. You know, frustration with your kids is gone.

I mean, it's never gone away, but it's gone centered. You're more present. Right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It's just been a really smooth I'd say the hardest part was the reaction from other people. People are a little taken aback by it.

I see. I don't I don't mind as much. I just got used to that. But that's a really so honestly, when I break it down with people, they're like, honestly, I have to drink because it would look weird if business I would. How do you overcome that?

I don't know. I just I I just go into all the social settings like everybody else. And then I just I can hang out in any environment and I just talk.

It's amazing. You could still talk. I could still communicate.

Yeah, I could still do it. And and I don't judge anybody like, you know, if they come to me and they want to ask questions or whatever. But I have found a lot of people around me have slowed down just because they have seen what it's done for me and how they and they they're so they have and I haven't pushed it. But it's I think it's becoming more of the. Oh, it's becoming trendy, right? Trendy. Yeah.

And I'm not doing this to start a trend. It's just from Dennis Prager, who we should pray for. Amazing man. Tucker Carlson, President Trump to Elon barely drinks. Like I think he's not like I don't drink.

I think I might ever want to drink a year. The top performing people I've ever been around. It's they are very against alcohol, against substances. And they'll tell you they perform better. They think clear. They have better memory, better recall, more energy, more pace.

And I also find that some of the people that drink the most, they're hiding something, they're matching something. Sure. So it's just so amazing. Yeah, it has been.

It's been extraordinary. And just like to be able to gather more information, I feel like I can just take in a lot. And like if you and I have a conversation like a more I'd remember, I want to remember more. Well, and people say, you know, Charlie, how do you remember all this stuff?

Like, first of all, I have a good memory. I work hard at it. I eat very clean, you know, but also I don't drink. I'm not poisoning my body. Again, I don't mean to attack people that drink.

Plenty of good people do. But it is poison. I mean, there is no it is actual poison.

Your body metabolizes it as if it is an arsenic. Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah.

I mean, Andrew Huberman has lots of and I've watched her scan. It's bad. Yeah, it's bad for all those every everything. Yeah. So it's it's been good.

And yeah, it's definitely helped. And we've been so busy, you know. Well, yeah, let's talk about that. So, I mean, it's a great connection.

So now you're like superpower Colin. Yeah. Right.

Superhuman. Thank you. And what a time because so just our own background, I need to do a good job introducing Colin Plume here for NobleGoldInvestments.com. They are our partner for gold, silver, all that good stuff. Yeah. No, precious metals is the right way to say it.

NobleGoldInvestments.com. We have you on frequently. We love talking about economic news, but you've had a surprisingly good year.

It's a good time not to be drinking. Yes. What's going on with gold and silver?

Yeah. Well, I think that when President Trump got elected there, people didn't know what was happening in the markets. I think everyone just paused, you know, for a few months.

And then once he moved forward with his agenda, which, you know, the big agenda would be the terror of your conversation. I think a lot of the money was didn't know what was going to happen. And so we just had this real flight to safety, coupled with the fact that the last corner, if you remember, but when we were talking about gold last year, which was already running total, the retail U.S. retail market was late to the game. So the European market was buying. Central banks have been buying. They bought a thousand tons of gold for four years in a row. But our U.S. market was late. So the last quarter of last year, they started this dive into gold.

You started to hear about it. Hedge funds are buying gold, big, big groups, Apollo Group, all these started buying by Mark Rowan. Yeah, exactly.

And and then this year, it just, you know, people still they didn't know where to go. They know what's going to happen. There's this is inflation going to be around. How is that going to affect things? So gold started up. So since President Trump's been in office, gold is up 34 percent.

And so here's what's amazing about that is that, well, there's a lot and I'm actually going to just fact check myself here. So, yeah. So while gold was going up, Bitcoin was going down. Yeah. And that actually was a really interesting test of what do you trust more? Again, I'm very pro crypto.

Sure. But when the cards were down, the actual flight for safety was not cryptography, cryptography. It was gold. Yeah.

That must have been very educational. Yeah. And I think it's we've been seeing this for a long time. And also, gold hadn't moved up as much as some of the other things that had gone up with inflation. I mean, we all saw all the inflationary numbers over the last two years of electricity costs and everything that had gone up pretty substantially.

But gold hadn't moved. But yeah, I think it was a testament to gold that investors that were typically gun shy were diving into gold. And the U.S. sentiment right now, they just came out of the report. Twenty five percent of Americans feel more confident about gold than they feel about the dollar. And they feel even about equities. But less than 10 percent of Americans actually own physical gold. So they don't all own it, but they feel pretty good about it.

So that consumer sentiment, I think, is really telling when I started the business 16 years ago, I think it was less than three or four percent. So just interesting. So if again, we don't do investment advice here, we legally cannot. We just present the options. You do whatever you want. No, we'll go investments that come. I can, however, vouch for Collins integrity and his character and how the company up that I will endorse the company. You guys make your own decisions.

You have your own agency. But let's talk about facts. If somebody would have listened to one of our our partnership, you know, conversations and they would have been drawn to buy gold a year ago, how would they have done a year ago? So since Trump got an office, it's up thirty four percent a year ago today. It's like forty two percent.

Forty two percent up. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Yeah. So it's out.

It's it's outpaced. What about like five years ago? Five years ago or in 2020. So 2020.

Well, it's a pens. That was 20. There was a spike. That was it. Yes. Let's just say a couple of years ago. Yeah.

A couple of years ago. You know, it was the thing was is that that two thousand dollar an ounce was a really telling number. That was like, is it going to break through?

Is it a psychological barrier? Right. Like what's going to happen at two thousand? I remember people having this conversation like it's got too expensive. It broke two thousand and it kind of hovered around two thousand, two, three years ago. And then it obviously broke through. Now it's a thirty two hundred.

We're at thirty two hundred. Yeah. And today is actually a great day to buy because it's down today because of what happened with what the China deal. So it pulled back today. So, you know, it's like a stair step.

Right. You see these stair step kind of moves. But the tariff situation is it's like a it's like a high stakes game of musical chairs. And like what happened today, the way I think about it was like what happened today is that like we put one more chair back. We've been pulling chairs away and we put a chair back.

So it feels a little better. The stock market bounced. So gold's down today. Silver is very resilient today. So that's pretty interesting. Yes.

Silver's around thirty three dollars and thirty to thirty three dollars today. Yeah. So it had the it's up 11 percent this year. It hasn't had the massive. That's very good. It's still very good.

Yeah. Hasn't had the massive run of gold. But, you know, silver is different because it's not a monetary metal. It's it's an industrial metal. So it's technical. It's a technical use metal. So I think, you know, in the if you're looking at where things are right now and silver still hasn't made that big move and it has so many industrial uses, I really, you know, I think silver is going to be interesting. So what talk about the incoming of phone calls you're receiving and then the trends that you are processing?

Yeah. Well, I think it's this year has been the most interesting year of phone calls because people have, you know, started they they start some paperwork, they get a little bit and then they're trying to figure out what's going to happen. They're looking at their stocks.

You know, they're deciding what's what am I going to do? So I think it's been a lot of start stop. But for a lot of people, and this is what we've always said, is like this is just one piece of the pie is diversification. And people are really liking the idea of getting the actual physical as opposed to the stock form. Yes.

So are you doing a lot of home delivery, home delivery? And I think that was spurred a lot by what happened with the London Bullion Exchange. What happened there? Basically, what happened was that people started calling their contracts right before the tariffs were kicking in. And the London Bullion Exchange didn't have enough gold.

And so people were like, well, I have a contract. It's supposed to be there. And what was happening is that people were wanting to get their gold and shipped to the US. And so the London Bullion Exchange is like, sorry, we don't have it. And it's like, well, I own it.

It's supposed to be there. And that caused more of a hysteria. It created a run. It created a run on gold. People wanted to get their gold.

They wanted to get it closer to home. So I think what's happened this year, which has been interesting, is that people have been selling their gold stock and then just buying the real thing. Is so is is there a fractional banking?

Well, that's that's what that's what they're saying. Are you legally allowed to fractionally store gold? I mean, you could if you if you told people that, but they didn't know. Yeah, right. They didn't tell people that. We all know we all exist in a fractional fractional banking system.

Money's not actually there. Yeah. But if gold's that that's really bad. That's not good. Yeah.

And that that did cause his I mean, we're talking about big institutions at the exchange that wanted it. And they were being told, like, we'll have it in four to six weeks. And it's like, well, you're supposed to have it there all the time. It's not you're not supposed to have it there part time. Yeah, it's it's kind of like the it's the Seinfeld episode where Jerry goes to get the rental car.

It's like I have a reservation. All right. Right. It'll be a couple hours.

No, no. But it's right here. The car, the reservation. Give me the keys to the car. It's like, oh, no, no, we'll get it later. We don't have the we don't have it.

We don't have it in the car. Yeah, that's that's scary. Noble Gold Investments dot com like 20 seconds. Just talk about the website, how people navigate yet. Noble Gold Investments dot com. Been in business will be 10 years next year.

Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Someone says here a long time ago, someone told me that in a social setting, people do not care what you drink, but that you drink. So he would order sparkling water on ice and no one would know the difference. There is some truth there.

I always drink sparkling water. Yeah. And I also I'm of the opinion that actually is a good conversation starter.

We're like, oh, you don't drink like I don't drink and I'm better for it. Like, yeah, you might actually prompt somebody to get out of, you know, alcohol. Yeah. And people need that sometimes they need that prod.

You know, they need they need to hear. And you shouldn't shame people. That's not that's not what we're saying. No. Right.

You should. Everyone has their free will. They have agency. But yeah.

Also, we need to be clear that it's it's not good for you. Yeah. Yeah. And you're right.

What you said was right. You're more successful. I mean, listen, let's let's not take away what you've done the last four or five years.

I mean, that it has a part in your success. I say this. I could not do what I do if I even had moderate consumption of alcohol.

Impossible. Yeah. And so you have to choose. Do you want to be buzzed or do you want to be successful? So, yeah, this one says, Charlie, I drink heavily for 30 plus years. One day I decided I had enough and I never looked back. It's been five years since I had a drink and I don't want another.

It has helped me be a better husband, father, employee and friend. Nice. It's great stuff. OK, let's there's this funny kind of this. This is why I was laughing. There's this ad in Thailand about stopping drinking. This will make you laugh.

Play cut 226. Well, that's that's why we should run into commercials like that. We're low on time. No, no one gold investments dot com. Tell us about the silver gold ratio.

Yeah. So there's only been a few times, very short amount of times that it's broken this hundred to one. So one hundred ounces of silver to one ounce of gold. And typically when you see these kind of ratios, it doesn't stick for a long time.

It it got down even in 2011, it got down to 30 to one. Wow. Which, by the way, if we want, you know, even 60 to one today, you're talking about silver being, you know, well over 100 dollars an ounce so that, you know, there's a lot of it. So there's a lot of these silver bugs that believe, like, what's going on with silver?

Where's that going to move? And so the thing that I like about silver is that there is a silver shortage. It's used in, you know, everything.

Solar panels, electric. I mean, you name it. It's it's in their drones and actually drones.

Big time. The government, you know, a lot of people know this. The government last year, they buy gold and silver every year. Last year was the first year they bought for over 400 million dollars of silver and a little over 100 million dollars in gold.

Wow. Not for reserve. We wish they bought it for reserve, but they just bought it for, you know, industrial utilities and mostly for defense. They use it a lot for drones, all that stuff. They need silver. So I like that usage.

18 to 30 grams goes on the solar panels that, you know, that seems to be growing and growing. So I just like the continued usage. And if you're worried about where gold is and you're worried about the price, I think that there's a story to be told about silver.

It hasn't made that big run. You have a whole new book. Silver is the new oil. Correct. Right. Yeah.

I don't know if we're plugging that today. But it's great. Yeah. We can find it at noblegoldinvestments.com.

It's at noblegoldinvestments.com. And it's great. Very compelling. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. I wanted to catch up to you and all your books. Maybe one day I'll be there. I have a new one coming out soon. Oh, you do? Oh, OK. All about the Sabbath.

You'll love it. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, OK. But why taking a day off from work could change humanity.

Because Prager, didn't he talk to you about doing this? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I incorporated it in my life. And the book is called Stop in the Name of God. Oh, wow.

OK. How honoring the Sabbath will transform your life. OK. So I'm finally finishing it.

Anyway, that's a... I'm excited. Yeah.

Oh, you'll love it. No, I say this. It's written to change your life.

Yeah. Because you need that day. And you need to work for six and have a whole day for family, for God to disconnect.

And I make an argument that you actually get more done in six days if you take one day of rest than if you were to work all seven. That's true. Anyway, so that's it.

So the talk about so the goal of Silver Ratio. Yeah. You get calls.

What is one thing that you wish that you could tell millions of people just kind of like, man, I wish everyone knew this educational element about what you're doing? Yeah, I would say the first thing is that you were buying it. You're buying the real thing. And you don't we sell bullion coins and bars. And when I say that means like we sell that because it's the highest purity and the lowest you get the most value. And I think what happens is you go to a lot of websites and you see they have so many different coins and bars. And any time you make a special coin or special bar, either the company is going to try to make a huge amount or it just costs more or whatever it's going to be. But at the end of the day, all those modern day ones, they're not worth anything different. Listen, if you get an old shipwreck coin, I remember I brought a shipwreck.

I loved it. And OK, that's from 1855. And there's only a few of those. But any of this new stuff get focus on weight and purity. The other thing is, is like, what kind of relationship are you going to have with the dealer? Because and that's where I can vouch and start to. Yeah, there's a lot of shysters, a lot of bad people in the gold space.

Collins, the real deal. Keep going. Yeah.

And so like, you know, people are like, great. Let's say you bought in gold a year or two ago and then you try to go back to that place and they don't want to buy it back or they're not. They won't give you a great price.

It's got you need a two way street. The beauty behind us, because we only sell 10 to 12 different products. I'm happy to buy back because I'm going to sell it to somebody else. I'm not like a pawn shop.

I don't have 4000 different items, so I don't need to be concerned. I'm always going to you sell me back a bar. I'm going to sell to the next person. So I think it's important to think about not only how you get in, but also your exit. And it's the same thing in business, right? People always say that, like, if you're going to get into a business, think about who's going to buy you.

It's the same thing when you're buying a physical item. You want to know how you're going to liquidate that later. So that's the thing that I think is most important.

And then the last thing is like the markets up or down. You want to have a relationship like we build relationships with people. People can call one of my top guys. Josh is actually here today and he came to meet you and be a part of this. But the ultimate experience is just having that relationship with noblegoldinvestments.com.
