Audio Transcription

We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created by the… You know the thing. We will shut you down. We will cite you. And if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period. I wasn’t thinking of the Bill of Rights when we did this. No amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. God actually spoke to me. He spoke about sacredness. He said to me, Kim, what I play in many, many people is sacred. And if anybody touches what is sacred to me, there is an end for them. So what I’ve done in the United States of America is sacred. And there are people on every side that are trying to destroy what I deem sacred. And it’s not going to happen. This is the definition of criminal conspiracy, racketeering and collusion. This is not a theory. This is evidence. Because I have upheld this country to spread a light to the rest of the world. When you choose to go against the sacred thing that God put into the very heart and the soil of this nation, this was sacred to God. This is exactly why I need some action from my people. There is a man by the name of Mr. Clark and there is also another man by the name of Donald. You are both watching me saying, could it be that God is speaking to me? Yes, he is. Somebody just a few minutes before you came on the show, you went out and you took the American flag and you said, I’m proud of my nation. You raise it up and God said, you have been determined through your prayers to influence this nation. You’re watching me. You’re an influential person. The Spirit of God says, hear the word of the prophet to you as a king. I will open that door that you prayed about. And when it comes time for the election, you will be elected. Folks, I’m not a doctor, but my rule I always tell my kids and my family is when in doubt, don’t put a chip in your head. And maybe he disagrees with me, maybe he’s in favor of putting a chip in your cranium, I don’t know. Is a doctor that I trust by the name of Dr. Mark Sherwood. And Dr. Sherwood, I want to get your thoughts here because Elon Musk, this video is way in the past, this is October 28th, he did an interview here at what’s called the CNS Conference here. This is the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. And he said the following, and so here we go. The device, it’s basically like having like an Apple Watch or a Fitbit that replaces a piece of skull and you’ve got these electrodes, very, very fine electrodes that are implanted with a surgical robot. The constraint on human machine symbiosis is, however, is bandwidth. Apparently, if you’re going to play a video game, you have to move your hand. So that’s like you’ve got to send signals to the muscles. The muscles have to move. Your finger takes a certain amount of time to move. So you’ve basically got to move the meat puppet. Yeah. You know, I have to say, when you’re- Slow-moving meat puppet. And if you don’t have to move, actuate the muscles in your hand. Because your fingers can move at a certain rate, in like millimeters per second. But if you don’t have to do any of that, you can literally think it immediately with no latency, you’ll outperform someone who has to use their hands. Yeah, you know, it’s funny. I think you get a couple of years, basically. The vast majority of diseases or issues, brain issues, I think are fixable with a neural link device. It’s a fine-grained means of reading and writing electrical signals in the brain. Anything that is a function of signals in or out, if that is the nature of the problem, it can be fixed ultimately with a neural link device. Okay. Dr. Sherwood, we’d love to get your thoughts. So much there. I give you the floor, sir. Well, I think that, you know, as much as it brings about curiosity in the neurosurgeon from the standpoint of trying to correct neurodegeneration, quadro or paraplegic situations or anything like that. I mean, I can appreciate trying to correct those things, but I don’t sense he’s going that direction. I sense he’s going the direction like you’ve established many times more of a brain, a web, the Internet of brains out there. And it’s almost too concerning to me because like the stimulus that we get from the outside of the brain is called the mind. The mind is something that in God’s word, it says we’re supposed to renew. If God said you’re supposed to renew it, that means you can redo it. That means that it can be filled up with one thing versus another thing. Things of the world are things of perhaps God in this analogy. So it’s really not the mind controls the brain and the mind is really controlled by the perceptions of which we view life. And so you can’t quantify that. He’s trying to quantify that and put that into action. I just don’t see it being feasible. It sounds theoretical if there’s not a God part of the equation. But there’s a God part of the equation. This creationism part of the equation, it’s beyond mankind’s ability to understand. That concerns me deeply. I wasn’t sure if I should cancel my appointment to get my Fitbit, put my skull, my Neuralink, which is basically a Fitbit for the skull. I wasn’t sure I should cancel my procedure. We’ll see, folks. We’ll decide whether I cancel my procedure after this next segment. Here we go. That’s 8 billion people in the world. I don’t know, maybe at least a few billion are going to want this, maybe more. So then how do you get, like literally, billions of devices? Unless you have the robots, it’s not happening. We can reduce the latency, so that really the moment you think of a move, it happens instantly on the computer, as opposed to what, you know, you, currently if you’re a human, play a video game, you have to, like, move your hand. So that’s like you’ve got to send signals to the muscles, the muscles have to move. Your finger takes a certain amount of time to move. So you’ve got to, you basically got to move the meat puppet. Yeah. You know, I have to say, when you’re… It’s so moving. And if you don’t have to move, actuate the muscles in your hand. And because, you know, your fingers can move at a certain, you know, a certain rate, like millimeters per second. But if you don’t have to do any of that, you can literally think it immediately with no latency. You’ll outperform someone who has to use their hands. Yeah, you know, it’s… I think you get a couple of years. The device itself in volume should not be super expensive. I mean, hopefully it’s like, I don’t know, five to $10,000 and very high volume. It should start to approximate the cost of an Apple Watch or a phone. So maybe it’s a thousand or $2,000, something like that. And then if it’s implanted with a robot, then that surgical procedure should be fast. We do have a game plan for what I call the 600 seconds surgery. So 10 minutes, you sit in the chair, in 10 minutes later, you have an implant. 600 seconds. And we’re not violating physics. So, I mean, just as with Lasik, it goes in a laser, does a whole bunch of things to your eyeball. Now, you’d have to automate basically everything here, but if you break it down second by second it is possible to have a 600 second or 10 minute surgery. Okay, he’s pushing for a 600 second surgery to put this, what he’s calling a bit for your skull, this neuro link in your cranium. Dr. Sherwood, what say you sir? Well I think one thing that hasn’t been established more over him talking about is what about any sort of rejection that the body may have to this implant device we see it all the time with rejection with joint replacement etc you see it their body can become toxic so what about that he didn’t talk about that much at all and he doesn’t talk about this either clay involuntary movements what’s an involuntary movement what is that I mean do you really think about having to brush your teeth every day? Don’t you do that automatically? Don’t you get up and do routines automatically? Don’t you drive down the road to places you frequent all the time and do that automatically without thinking about it? Our mind, as it interacts with our brain, is so awesome in its ability to quantify data and put data into memory, put procedures and maps and rows and thoughts into memory that we don’t have to think about it. That’s the beauty of the mind. So I don’t see him factoring in those concepts right there. And I’m just deeply disturbed by the idea that he would even say, call the human body a meat puppet. I mean, there’s so much more. What about our gut? You know, a lot of people don’t know this Clay but the gut sends five times more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the gut. So which one is the primary brain? Is that the gut or is that the thing between our ears? So the guy is he’s off and if he was sitting in front of me I’d tell him he’s off. He tries to look smart but there’s so many holes in his argument and he doesn’t answer questions. You see he’s interrupting the interviewer here without even giving him an opportunity to ask a clarifying question. It truly is mind boggling, this concept called Neuralink. Let’s continue, folks. So at that point, if it’s being done by a robot and the whole thing takes 10 minutes, I think it probably, the whole thing, all inclusive ends up being on the order of $5,000 maybe, similar to LASIK. I mean, we definitely are venturing into deep sci-fi here. If people are interested in some sci-fi book recommendations, I would recommend In Banks, the culture books. And In Banks actually does have this concept of a neural lace where all the humans have like a neural, sort of a kind of a neural link or neural lace throughout their brain and so and when if somebody dies their their memories are being dynamically uploaded to the cloud or the whatever the Internet is in the future and they can re-establish it into a human body if they want. Or they can live in simulation which we might be in right now. So, when you have a sort of the advent of superintelligence, it is actually very difficult to predict what will happen next. So, I think there’s some chance that it will end humanity. I think that’s, you know, like I said, I probably agree with Jeff Hinton that it’s about, I don’t know, 10% or 20% or something like that. And then I think there’s, I think that the probable positive scenario outweighs the negative scenario. It’s just that there’s a, it’s difficult to predict exactly. I think, probably the best envisioning of a semi-utopian AI future. And I think the best we can do is – it’s definitely going to happen, and it’s happening fast. So I think that really we just want to try to do whatever we can to increase the probability of a great future. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. It seems to me as though he’s wanting to create an antivirus for the mind. Prepare for this kind of world, which is coming sooner, I think, that many people realize. We need an antivirus for the brain. Let’s back it up a little bit, one more time, folks. And they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. Prepare for this kind of world, which is coming sooner, I think, that many people realize. We need an antivirus for the brain. It’s just unbelievably disturbing. And now you’ve got you’ve all talked about an antivirus for the brain. Want to get your thoughts on this. It seems as though Elon Musk is trying to do brain censorship where he wants to actually be able to censor the thoughts that you receive. Well, a few things, and I think I’m going to go on and win the elections over with now, so we’re fine. Just like we sped up Operation Warp Speed because we could, it generates consequences that should have been known because we’re moving too fast without using the wisdom that mankind can receive from God to employ in making decisions. Information and knowledge is only as good as the wisdom in application. You can have people that are smart, and I have no doubt the intelligence of these two men, but you can have intelligence but not wisdom, making the actions of the knowledge foolishness. I really believe that’s happening. I would be very cautious if I’m President Trump, allowing this man to get so close and put him in charge of things and I Said this to you on this show Before I do not believe that Elon Musk is about the people. I think he’s a great business man is about himself. I I don’t hear this about People I hear it about how he’s going to enhance his own business and you know You know, people can not like that or like that. That’s just really how I feel about it. I’m deserving this. And if we can sit there and say, well, we want a faith-based, conservative establishment to really be foundationally rooted in the concept of government again, how can you bring in someone with that type of mentality that calls the human body, that was made in the image of God, by the way, a meat puppet. It doesn’t make any sense to me from multiple levels. And I look at these long form interviews that Musk does and I watch them and I think to myself, I don’t think most people listen to these long form interviews. I think they listen to the sound bites. I think they listen to the parts that they want to hear or that they’ve chosen to hear. They’ve maybe been selected for them to hear or the soundbites the media has said are okay to hear. But most people don’t listen to these long-form interviews where he does these interviews with the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. But when I do them, I think to myself, wow, that is some disturbing stuff. Now, shifting gears for a second, everybody out there, if you’re looking for a doctor that’s not going to want to put a chip in your head, a doctor that doesn’t want to put RNA-modifying nanotechnology in your body. A doctor that does not want you to wear a mask to do forced vaccinations. A doctor who’s not excited about mask mandates and lockdowns, quarantines, curfews. If you want a doctor you can trust and a doctor that’s not trying to push the big pharma, the pharmaceutical, medical industrial complex agenda on you. You want a doctor that’s not controlled by the deep state. You want a doctor that’s going to do what’s best for you to help you optimize your health. Well, then I would highly recommend that you schedule a free consultation with SureWood.tv. Dr. SureWood, tell us about the solutions that you have available for all of our wonderful listeners there at SureWood.tv. And again, before you talk about that, you are a doctor we referred thousands of COVID patients to. Nobody died from COVID-19 that we referred your way. We literally referred thousands of people your way on the reawakened tour. None of those patients died from COVID-19. So tell us about the solutions that you provide there at SureWood.tv. Well, I can certainly, first off, echo what you said. We’re not a part of the deep state. We don’t get really any help from anybody and nobody really wants us to have a platform on really any of the social media platform absent the Clay Clarks of the world, you know? So we’re not popular like that, but people get better. So what we do is We go in and we analyze a person’s genetics We optimize their nutrition sleep stress management hormones. We use peptides. We use a lot of supplements We do have medicines if we need to but that’s not our first line therapy and having all the information We put together a plan to make their body operate the way it’s supposed to. Meaning, give the body what it needs, it will do what it does. And then we see people all the time with the most chronic contagions out here today such as obesity, such as diabetes, such as neuroinflammation, such as inflammation, all these things that we’re suffering with as a society today. Clay, we see that reversed all the time by just the simple processes we have. So, people out there are suffering right now because they’ve got nowhere to go, no one to go to, and it’s either a supplement for something over here or a pill for an ill over here. But that’s not us at all. We’re going to give people practical information, practical application, application so their bodies can get better and they can have the kind of life longevity that they should have. How do you stack up versus a traditional doctor’s office there, sir? Well, a traditional doctor’s office, you go in there with a group of symptoms and those symptoms are analyzed with an algorithmic sort of a thinking model where based upon the symptoms, you are given a prescription to quote unquote try to relieve the symptoms. So it’s a disease model. Our system is different. Yes, people come in. Yes, people have symptoms. I agree with that. But we don’t focus only on what is wrong. We also focus on what is right. So we look at the symptoms in this way. Instead of looking for a medication to relieve the symptoms, I want to know what causes the symptoms, what precipitated that, what’s the etiology of this symptom? So when you can understand that, you can correct the upstream problem that drove the symptoms, and therefore disease becomes irrelevant, and medication usage becomes absent. And it’s a complete opposite approach. We have both. People can rest assured we’re not just one directional, but we see people get well routinely. Again, folks, if you’re out there today and you have not yet checked out sure would TV I highly recommend you do that again. This is a man who’s treating patients all across America. Not just in Tulsa, Oklahoma Also, he has meal replacement Solutions if you’re out there looking for a meal replacement Shake or nutrition supplement that’s designed to last a long time. That’s also organic You can check out Kingdom fuel all that and more can be found at Sherwood TV. Dr. Sherwood Thank you for carving out time this week, and we can’t wait to talk to you next week, sir. Sounds great, Clay. I really appreciate you, man. Bye-bye. In order to have better human AI symbiosis, we must solve the bandwidth problem. Below a certain bandwidth, we are basically just stationary to a computer. And at one bit per second, you know, that’s a very low data rate when computers are doing trillions of bits per second. There’s eight billion people in the world, I don’t know, maybe at least a few billion are gonna want this, maybe more. So then how do you get literally trillions of devices? Unless you have the robots, it’s not happening. We can reduce the latency. So really, the moment you think of a move, it happens instantly on the computer, as opposed to what you… Currently, if you’re going to play a video game, you have to move your hand. So that’s like you’ve got to send signals to the muscles, the muscles have to move. Your finger takes a certain amount of time to move. So you basically got to move the meat puppet. Yeah And if you don’t have to move if you don’t have to move Actuate the muscles in your hand And because that you know, your fingers can move at a certain, you know Certain rate and certainly like millimeters per second But if you don’t have to any of that you can literally think it immediately with no latency You’ll outperform someone who has to use their hands. Yeah, you know, it’s funny. I think in a couple years. The device itself, in volume, should not be super expensive. I mean, hopefully it’s like, I don’t know, five to $10,000, and very high volume, it should start to approximate the cost of an Apple Watch or a phone. So maybe it’s a thousand or $2,000, something like that. And then, if it’s implanted with a robot, then that surgical procedure should be fast. We do have a game plan for what I call the 600 seconds of injury. So 10 minutes, you sit in the chair, in 10 minutes later, you have an implant. 600 seconds. And we’re not violating physics. So, I mean, just as with Lasik, it goes in a laser, does a whole bunch of things to your eyeball. Now, you’d have to automate basically everything here, but if you break it down by a second, it is possible to have a 600-second or 10-minute surgery. So, at that point, if it’s being done by a robot and the whole thing takes 10 minutes, I think it probably, the whole thing, all-inclusive, ends up being on the order of $5,000 maybe. Similar to LASIK. I mean, we definitely are venturing into deep sci-fi here. If people are interested in some sci-fi book recommendations, I would recommend In Banks, the culture books. And In Banks actually does have this concept of a neural lace, where all the humans have a neural link or neural lace throughout their brain. And so if somebody dies, their memories are being dynamically uploaded to the cloud or whatever the internet is in the future, and they can re-instantiate into a human body if they want. Or they can live in simulation, which we might be in right now. The vast majority of diseases or brain issues, I think, are fixable with a neural link device. It’s a fine-grained means of reading and writing electrical signals in the brain. Anything that is a function of signals in or out, if that is the nature of the problem, it can be fixed ultimately with a Neuralink device. Yeah, well I know Neuralink just got FDA breakthrough designation for blindsight a week and a half before this meeting. The constraint on human-machine symbiosis is, however, is bandwidth. What is the, especially output bandwidth. The output bandwidth of a human is less than one bit per second over the course of a day. So if you have 86,400 seconds in a day, the number of output bits that you produce, I mean maybe there are some rare cases where it’s about one bit per second, but very few people produce 86,400 output bits of, you know, that’s a rare situation. So most people are averaging less than one bit per second over a 24-hour period. And when we do speak, they say the number of symbols per second of speech or typing is quite low, especially if it’s going through a phone. But you just sort of have two slow-moving meat sticks that are trying to type letters on a phone. So you really have just a few taps per second of characters. So your phone is like sitting there, and your phone is like a supercomputer in your hands, and it is desperately trying to figure out what you want to say. We call it post-implant telepathy, which really just is interfacing with the motor cortex and it’s basically looking at signals as though somebody moved their arm and just reading that signal and then sending that signal to the patient’s phone or computer so they can then move the cursor around just by thinking. And if you’ve ever seen the videos of Noland, it’s pretty impressive what he can do. In fact, shortly after getting the implant, he spent all night playing video games just by thinking. It’s basically like having an Apple Watch or a Fitbit that replaces a piece of skull and you’ve got these electrodes, very fine electrodes that are implanted with a surgical robot. problem over time that is a result of… if you think of the brain like a computer, like a circuit board or something like that, you can say, if you’re given a circuit board and there were some short circuits or some circuits that should be there but aren’t there, and some that are there but shouldn’t, we can fix those. So basically, it’s like, it’s kind of like fixing a circuit board. I think we can better align artificial intelligence with collective human will. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. To prepare for this kind of world, which is coming sooner I think than many people realize, we need an antivirus for the brain. Christianity, the main religion of the Western world, it always takes the side of the victim. And there’s something where it is like some kind of deformation or intensification. And maybe you should think of wokeness as ultra Christianity or hyper Christianity. It’s just like an extreme intensification. And maybe there’s no forgiveness. And so it’s sort of, you still have original sin, and you have all these bad things that happened in the past, the past is terrible, and you can never overcome it, but there surely is a religious interpretation of this is sort of, you know, what happened is, as let’s say the church lost a certain amount of authority, but people didn’t become, you know, rationalist, atheist people, they went into this sort of woke religion, which I would interpret as a certain extreme form of Christianity. And Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain implant startup, raised $280 million in a recent fundraising round. The cash injection was led by Founders Fund, which is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm established by controversial billionaire and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Now Neuralink wants to use implants to connect the human brain to a computer. A gold musk has been working on for five years. So far the company has only tested on animals. The long-term aspiration with Neuralink was would be to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence and to achieve a sort of democratization of intelligence such that it is not monopolistically held in a purely digital form by governments and large corporations. Basically an effort for man to merge with machine in a healthy way. Yes. To beat machines you basically have to merge with machines. Most likely, yes. If you have a good two-way communication system directly between brains and computers, it also means you can connect several brains together to create an inter-brain net, because it’s the same system, the same communication system. And nobody has any idea what this means for things like identity. Who am I when I can access directly the brain of another person? US intelligence shows China is using advanced technologies like gene editing and brain control weapons to advance its military and to crush dissent. Today, after this, we talk about more that we can implement. When will that be? Certainly in the next 10 years. First we will implant them in our clothes, that is, wearables, as we say. And then we could imagine that we implant them in our brains or in our skin. And in the end, maybe there is a direct communication between our brain and the digital world. We call someone, we don’t even have the reflex to take the device, it’s done naturally. The technique continues the body. Yes, you speak and you say, I want to be connected with anyone now. I saw that Mr. Zuckerberg predicted that at the end of the year he will have his robot, his personalized butler, which is at his disposal. So, as in Downton Abbey, we will have his personal butler, his servant, his slave? We presume it would be consensual, because you definitely don’t want just people, you know, sending stuff into your reign without your consent. We could effectively merge with artificial intelligence by improving the speed of interaction between our cortex and our tertiary layer. But you say like, what’s the limitation? What is it that inhibits human machine symbiosis? It’s the data rate. The Russians backed up what Warren’s been saying. A lot of people are going, oh, this currency is not going to be anything. They said it’s going to be gold backed. Hello. It’s going to be gold backed. The BRICS group is set to introduce a new currency backed by gold in contrast to the credit backed US dollar with countries lining up to join the growing initiative. The BRICS countries are planning to introduce a new trading currency which will be backed by gold. More and more countries recently expressed desire to join BRICS. When the Fed has monetary policy, that isn’t what determined the money supply. That discipline was inherent because we were still on the international classical gold standard. In those days, the purpose of the Fed was to just provide an elastic currency, elastic in the sense that as a largely agrarian economy, we had to service farmers and seasonally farmers sometimes had great need to borrow for equipment, for seeds, for sowing their crops and then later in the year at harvest time they sold their crops for money and they were able to put cash back into the bank and it was to smooth out those cycles which sometimes left banks a little high and dry and then other times sort of overly full with deposits. And so the Fed was just a way to help smooth that out. It wasn’t really until I would say 1977 and 78, we had two very powerful acts of legislation that provided the Fed with its famous dual mandate, which was actually a triple mandate. The Fed is supposed to promote stable prices, maximum employment, and moderate long-term rates. You sometimes forget about that part. I’m not sure why, because to me that implies that you would have a normal yield curve. So whenever we have an inverted yield curve, as we do currently, it seems to me the Fed is violating that third part of the mandate, but their emphasis is always on the first two. It’s just that the Fed has interpreted the mandate of promoting stable prices. When you think of price stability, it means you don’t have increases in prices. that would imply zero inflation, but the Fed says no. Stable prices are if we have 2% inflation every year. So that actually means, and you can go on the Federal Reserve website, go to the St. Louis District Bank, the Federal Reserve System, and they will explain the 2% target rate means that the Fed is deliberately taking measures that will cause your purchasing power to decrease 2% every year. Now I think that low and perpetual inflation does harm over time to the economy. Just think of a house that that you own for 10 years and the change in its value at the end of that ten years is significant. It’s sort of like, maybe this is a strange example, but tectonic plates in an earthquake. If they were sliding apart 2% a year and after 10% there was a 20% gap or a change, that to me leads to instability. And I think that it would be much better if the Fed did define stable prices to mean targeting 0%. I mean, if that goes to another question, can they do it? Because the Fed wants to take credit for bringing inflation down from 9% in the summer of 2022 to closer to 2% today, then why not go all the way? And there are at least three reasons that the Fed will put up for why they want 2% versus zero. But I think we need to examine all three reasons. One is based on money illusion that people will be happier if their nominal wages go up, even if they’re actually getting a decrease in their purchasing power. So a little bit of inflation might camouflage a real loss in purchasing power even if they got a 1% gain in their nominal wage. I think people are smarter than that. I think we’ve seen through union bargaining that people are very aware that if their wage gains do not keep up with inflation, they have had purchasing power effectively expropriated by the government through an independent government agency which is our Federal Reserve. Another reason put up is that if you have some inflation, it gives the Fed more policy space. That is if the real rate of interest is about 2, 2.5% which it is historically, if you add another 2% inflation, then that gives the Fed, say, 4.5% to play with before they get down to zero. I don’t think the economy benefits when the Fed tries to artificially stimulate the economy. I think it ends up just distorting the value of financial assets, and then it takes us a long time to recover from that. Finally, there is concern that well if you ever slip into deflation, that’s put out as just a huge risk. Well in China, let’s say if you see deflation, it’s more reflection of much deeper, more fundamental economic problems. In the case of China where the government is way overly involved in managing the economy, a little bit of deflation is really a more natural state. I mean we know that as you get the advancements of technology and through productivity that the natural behavior of the price level in general is to come down. You can get phones, laptops, lots of things more cheaply today, better products than when they first were introduced and many consumer goods for many of them that is true. So I think a small amount of deflation is not so bad and in fact if the Fed targeted zero it would still be a mildly inflationary way to conduct monetary policy. So for all those reasons I think we need to reevaluate that target and that would be fundamental reform of the way our Federal Reserve currently operates. So here’s the scoop. On October 22nd, Russia rolls out the red carpet for all these BRICS nations to come into Russia. And this isn’t just a quaint little meeting of small economies. No, this is the power play. I mean, think of it like this. After World War II, right, the U.S. held the Bretton Woods Conference where it was decided then that the US dollar would become the reserve currency of the world. Well this is their Bretton Woods conference and it’s a clear signal as Putin can possibly send that the days of the United States financial dominance might be numbered. The Russians backed up what Warren’s been saying. A lot of people going oh this currency is not going to be anything. They said it’s going to be gold-backed. Hello it’s going to be gold-backed. The BRICS group is set to introduce a new currency backed by gold in contrast to the credit-backed US dollar, with countries lining up to join the growing initiative. The BRICS countries are planning to introduce a new trading currency which will be backed by gold. I’m talking about our currency being used throughout the world. You want the dollar to remain the world’s reserve current well i think it’s bigger than losing any war i think if it doesn’t uh… look we are already reverting to third world status in many ways you look at our airports you look at our terminals you look at our filthy roads and broken roads and everything else and we’re like a third world country we have something that’s very powerful and that’s our dollar all over but you take a look at what’s happening to it now with other countries not using it. And you know China wants to replace it with the yuan. And it was unthinkable with us. Unthinkable. Would never have happened. Now people are thinking about it. That could happen. Rich nations have the oil, they have their natural resources. They don’t have to put up with it. And they’re not going to put up with it. Remember, two-thirds of those hombres are not buddies, not friends of this constitutional republic we have. They’re our enemies or rubbing up on our enemies. The standard of living of all Americans can be traced back to here, the vast oil-rich deserts of Saudi Arabia. In the early 70s, after the Arab crisis happened with the oil embargoes, OPEC basically tripled the price of oil to the Western world. And at that time, America realized that they were vulnerable because they were importing about 70% of all the oil they consumed. To secure a reliable foreign source of oil, US President Richard Nixon sent his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger to Saudi Arabia for a secret meeting. The result was a pact that still stands to this day. If Saudi Arabia, which at the time was the world’s largest producer of oil, would sell the oil in US dollars, America would defend Saudi Arabia and make sure the House Assad would stay in power. As a direct result of this US-Saudi agreement, all other oil producing nations also adopted the dollar as the de facto medium of exchange. Demand for it increased exponentially all over the world, and soon it had a new name, the petrodollar. Your currency is only as strong as the demand for the US dollar. A lot of Americans don’t realize that over 70% of all the $100 bills in the world are actually outside of the US. There’s more $100 bills in Russia than there are in America. This stockpile of US dollars in countries around the world is because oil is bought and sold using the greenback. If oil starts trading in non-petro dollars, such as gold or a basket of currencies, or if China and Russia start trading in yuan and ruble rather than US dollars, that demand isn’t there. And the way of life for the average American will be done. It will be worse than the Great Depression. How concerned are you about the collapse of the U.S. dollar, sir? It’s the end of the dollar system. So the end is near for the U.S. dollar. And my concern is it’s going to wipe out stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs. Just for my generation, the boomer generation, we’re in serious trouble because the only reason our stocks, bonds, mutual funds are up is because the Fed and the Treasury just kept printing more and more money. So look, I’ve been in the financial industry since 9-11, the day before 9-11, and I’ve owned stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, crypto, gold, you name it, I’ve owned it. But the one thing that’s a very important part of my portfolio all these years is gold. I love having a percentage of my network in gold that I have access to in case of many different things. A few facts you need to know about gold. Number one, the gold market cap is $11.8 trillion. Since 2000, the compound annual growth rate for gold has been 9.24% and during times of high inflation, 3% plus has been 15.35%. Now, those are just some numbers for you, but there’s some other benefits to add gold to your portfolio. Number one, hedge against inflation. Number two, results showed recently that 93% of central banks are working on a CBDC. So this means what? That could be a manipulated currency that they own. If you own gold, it’s a non-duplicatable asset. You’re now hedging against CBDC taking place. Number three, a potential cyber threat. If it happens, you don’t have access to your money. You don’t have access to your accounts. We have access to your hard, physical gold. Number four is anonymous. No one knows you have that gold and last but not least diversification. This here is real silver. That’s about $35. Not that much. Everybody can afford $35. And this here is real gold. And I strongly, we don’t give investment advice. But right now I would do my best to get your head out of you know what and stop working hard and saving this stuff here this is fake this is fake this is real and this is real good luck to you all start going for real money not fake money thank you General Mike Flynn and I want everyone to know that I stand fully behind Beverly Hills precious metals and its owner Andrew Sorcini a great friend of mine.

Hello, I’m Michael Levine, and I’m talking to you right now from the center of Hollywood, California, where I have represented over the last 35 years 58 Academy Award winners, 34 Grammy Award winners, 43 New York Times bestsellers. I’ve represented a lot of major stars and I’ve worked with a lot of major companies and I think I’ve learned a few things about what makes them work and what makes them not work. Now, why would a man living in Hollywood, California in the beautiful, sunny weather of LA, come to Tulsa. Because last year I did it and it was damn exciting. Clay Clark has put together an exceptional presentation, really life-changing. And I’m looking forward to seeing you then. I’m Michael Levine. I’ll see you in Tulsa. Thrive Time Show two-day interactive business workshops are the world’s highest rated and most reviewed business workshops because we teach you what you need to know to grow. You can learn the proven 13 point business systems that Dr. Zellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. We get into the specifics, the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website. We’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate.

You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I built these workshops is because as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this. And because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down, real estate, Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it, it was a hollow nothingness. And I wanted the knowledge, and they’re like, oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop. And the great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know. There’s no one in the back of the room trying to sell you some next big get-rich-quick, walk-on-hot-coals product. It’s literally we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business. I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying, and I want you to Google the Z66 auto auction. I want you to Google elephant in the room. Look at Robert Zellner and Associates. Look them up and say, are they successful because they’re geniuses, or are they successful because they have a proven system? When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa, book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s going to be the best business workshop ever and we’re going to give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you and we’re excited to see it. And now you may be thinking, what does it actually cost to attend an in-person two-day interactive Thrive Time Show business workshop?

I learned at the Academy at King’s Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Harvard Kiyosaki, The Rich Dad Radio Show. Today I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona. They’re close, but they’re completely different worlds. and we have a special guest today. Definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you’re intelligent. And so this gentleman is very intelligent. I’ve done this show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts. As Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric Trump, but we’re also talking about money, bricks, and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour. So Clay Clark is a very intelligent man and there’s so many ways we could take this thing. But I thought since you and Eric are close, Trump, what were you saying about what Trump can’t, what Donald, who’s my age, and I can say or cannot say? First of all, I have to honor you, sir. I wanna show you what I did to one of your books here. There’s a guy named Jeremy Thorn, who was my boss at the time. I was 19 years old working at Faith Highway. I had a job at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV. And he said, have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad? And I said, no. And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn’t know these financial principles. So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books. And I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner to the investor and I owe a lot of that to you and I just want to take a moment to tell you thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success and I’ll tell you all about Eric Trump. I just want to tell you thank you sir for changing my life. Not only that Clay, thank you but you’ve become an influencer. More than anything else, you’ve evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power. So that’s why I congratulate you on becoming. Because as you know, there’s a lot of fake influencers out there too, or bad influencers. Anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books. That’s the greatest thrill for me today. Not a thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I’m doing this, I’m doing this, I’m doing this. I learned at the Academy, at King’s Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say.
