Hello, everyone.
0:05
We got a big news day. Really good
0:07
to have you here. big headlines we're gonna get
0:09
through apparently. Climate change is no
0:11
longer the biggest priority at
0:13
the UN summit. You see, president
0:16
Biden and Emmanuel Macron out
0:18
of France, they've decided they wouldn't
0:20
attend some of those meetings because it seems
0:22
there's more pressing issues right now,
0:24
like, global stability, thanks
0:26
to some allegations that
0:29
Russia is making right now. It's funny
0:31
how reality creeps in and messes
0:33
with those good old climate change plans.
0:35
Anyway, all of this happening, of course,
0:38
as Vladimir Putin threatens aggression,
0:41
like, of the nuclear kind. So we'll get into
0:43
that Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is out with
0:45
its interest rate hike to seventy five
0:47
basis points, and
0:50
it's admitting that it has no idea
0:52
whether or not it can actually
0:54
prevent a recession from coming. Of
0:56
course, a little news alert, our guys.
0:59
We already have one. at least,
1:01
technically speaking, two
1:03
quarters of negative GDP.
1:06
One more thing we gotta get to Leticia James,
1:09
the attorney general of New York, is
1:11
back out old called shy hair. She's
1:13
coming out and announcing a loss
1:15
suit that she's filed against Donald
1:18
Trump, former president Trump and his
1:20
children. It has certainly been her life's
1:22
mission. political mission to
1:24
go after Donald Trump. It makes you
1:26
wonder if she doesn't have a
1:28
little appreciation, right, for the guy's
1:30
existence, given that, I guess,
1:33
she owes her entire political
1:35
career to him. It's good to have you
1:37
here. Welcome to the program, everyone.
1:39
As I said, lots of news to get to you today.
1:41
I wanna point out the portions of the program
1:44
are brought to you by legacy precious
1:46
metals. It's never done a better time to invest in
1:48
precious metals right now. Obviously,
1:50
given this inflationary trajectory,
1:53
the concerns, of course, about a recession,
1:56
gold is one of those things that helps even
1:58
out. some of the volatility in your
2:00
portfolio. So you could get something like
2:02
gold backed IRA help preserve
2:05
the value of your dollars in the future.
2:07
And if you do, I'd like you to
2:09
give my friends our legacy precious metals
2:11
and ring legacy p m investments dot
2:13
com is their website. We'll talk a little bit
2:15
more about it coming up, but First,
2:18
to the news that's happening in
2:20
New York, reality
2:23
really, you know, kind of stinks. Right? When you
2:25
can't, even you play a whole conference think
2:27
about that. This whole conference
2:29
was planned around the idea of
2:31
climate change. And
2:33
suddenly, there's been this shift. I mean, you
2:35
can't get the president of the United States to attend
2:38
the breakout sessions because, well,
2:40
I'll have Lanra Putin. That guy's in the way
2:42
again. course, it didn't really change
2:44
his speech. He has his
2:46
priorities after all right? Listen.
2:49
As
2:49
I said last year, the
2:51
United States is opening an era of relentless
2:54
diplomacy to address the challenges
2:56
that matter most to people's lives, all people's
2:59
lives. tackling
3:01
climate crisis as a previous speaker
3:03
speaker spoke to, strengthening
3:05
global health security, feeding
3:08
the world, feeding the world.
3:11
You know,
3:11
and it gets a little tough when
3:14
Russia decides to cut
3:16
off that pipeline, that
3:19
supplies Europe with its natural
3:21
gas, it gets a little tough when you
3:23
lose the bread basket there in Ukraine.
3:27
That's the time when you probably
3:29
ought to be saying to yourself gee, maybe
3:32
just maybe. You know, I'm gonna go on a limb here.
3:34
we might wanna think about
3:37
investing in our own sources
3:39
of energy and our own sources
3:41
of food and anything that's vital.
3:44
to our existence as a
3:46
country because we certainly don't
3:48
wanna be in a situation like Europe is
3:50
right now. we don't
3:52
want to ignore
3:55
the reality of this moment.
3:57
And the reality As by the way, Jamie
3:59
Dimon totally gets. Jamie speaking
4:03
on Capitol Hill, telling Congress,
4:06
need fuels in the here and
4:08
now. You don't wanna ignore that reality
4:10
because if you do, you could very well find yourself
4:12
in a very vulnerable state. As
4:14
we see, of course, with Germany. So
4:16
this is kind of important stuff. I'm gonna get to
4:18
Gene Messer in second because we gotta explore that a
4:20
little bit more. But before I do, given,
4:22
as I said, the world that we are in right
4:24
now, given growing inflation,
4:27
I can tell you this, I
4:29
don't think that the Federal Reserve seventy five
4:31
basis points will be enough, not at
4:33
this point in time. and I think you
4:35
have only to look at what we had
4:37
to do in the early eighties
4:39
to combat inflation with Paul Volker.
4:41
Raising rates. Imagine this is the benchmark
4:43
rate to twenty percent were nowhere near
4:45
that. And I don't think this
4:48
Federal Reserve has the
4:51
confidence the political capital,
4:53
if you would, to be able to really
4:55
do that. I mean, heck, they won't even tell you you're in a
4:57
recession. They're wondering if maybe
4:59
Maybe we'll still get one. I mean, as I've
5:01
always said, by the time these guys figure it out,
5:04
hopefully, hopefully, we'll be out
5:06
of it. But this is one of the reasons why I
5:08
think it's important to diverse to find your portfolio,
5:10
and there's lots of ways to do that.
5:12
One of my favorites, of course, is by investing
5:14
in gold. You can also invest in silver,
5:16
go to legacy PM investments
5:18
check them out. Legacy PM investments dot

5:35
But like I said, you know, it really
5:37
kinda stinks when you
5:39
have to deal with the very
5:41
real threat. right, of global
5:43
stability, energy prices, things
5:45
like this. It's why it was
5:47
important for Jamie Diamond
5:49
to say what he said. I mean, there's been such
5:52
a kind of woke culture that's
5:54
been enforced upon Wall Street,
5:56
enforced upon corporations. And
5:59
as such, The only game in town
6:01
is ESG. Environmental, social,
6:04
governance. You have to
6:06
live by a certain number of
6:08
rules if you want investors
6:10
putting money in your company, so Jamie Diamond
6:12
saying, look, we need
6:14
more clarity on this. And and that matters
6:16
because he runs one or most respected
6:18
investment banks in the world, JPMorgan.
6:21
So for him to come out and say that
6:23
to lawmakers, that was kind of a big deal because
6:25
he is a very respected voice.
6:27
He said that we're not getting it
6:30
right. If you wanna ensure that
6:32
you are going to have a reduction in
6:34
greenhouse emissions, then you
6:36
need to be thoughtful about investing in
6:38
the proper projects, which also
6:40
includes still, if you wanna
6:42
have an economy, the
6:44
traditional energy sources.
6:46
So again, an important message
6:48
because that somehow gets lost.
6:51
reality doesn't seem to
6:53
matter anymore. And I think that it's
6:55
not fair for the American people to wind
6:57
up paying the price because
6:59
there's a particular agenda. And let's be very
7:01
clear, it is an agenda and there's a lot
7:03
of money involved. There's a lot
7:05
of people that will become
7:08
very rich as a result of
7:10
all this ease. And they already have been, by the way.
7:12
I just worry about middle class consumers
7:14
that are facing these escalating energy
7:16
costs and these escalating food costs that
7:18
are going to continue growing worse
7:20
as the conflict escalates
7:23
overseas. So I'm glad
7:25
that he did that. I wanna get to one other
7:27
story because I'll tell you never a
7:29
dull moment if you would in the
7:31
Trump though. arena Leticia
7:33
James who has made it basically
7:36
her life's mission to take
7:38
down Donald Trump. and
7:40
his family. She is out
7:42
with a lawsuit against the
7:44
former president and
7:46
his children laying
7:48
the law as part of his
7:50
efforts to generate profits for
7:52
himself, his family,
7:54
and his company. The
7:57
complaint demonstrates that Donald
7:59
Trump falsely
7:59
inflated his net worth
8:02
by billions of dollars to
8:05
unjustly enrich himself
8:08
and to cheat this system. Conceding
8:09
those big banks. Don't forget.
8:12
because it was the big banks
8:14
that did their own due diligence and
8:16
decided that he was a worthy credit
8:19
risk. So I guess we gotta
8:21
protect them. Right? I mean, that's effectively
8:23
what she's kinda saying. He he
8:25
cheated those banks. I
8:27
don't know is that's really gonna play in Peoria as
8:29
they say? She's gonna keep trying. Right? I mean, she's
8:31
gotta she's gonna go for something. This is her entire
8:33
political existence that's dependent
8:36
on it. I think a lot people would argue
8:38
that she's crossed the line by
8:40
personalizing it so much, by making
8:42
it so political because it
8:44
detracts from any kind of case
8:46
she might have. And
8:49
again, I'd get back to she
8:51
might have because
8:53
don't you need the banks to be kind
8:55
of upset, They think that they
8:57
were defrauded out of something? And
8:59
what does that say about them? I mean,
9:00
did they not do any due diligence to
9:03
figure out what his real estate assets
9:05
were worth get a think on all those
9:07
things. Anyway, wonderful to have you here. As
9:09
always, tomorrow, we're gonna talk a little bit
9:11
more about investing in this environment. I've
9:13
got TC Capital's Charlie Diamondback joining
9:15
the show, so make sure you tune in for that.
9:18
I'm a chat
9:18
then.
