The John-Henry Westen Show - China and Russia are Changing the Economy

00:00:01.000 Ave Maria Mutual Funds, seeking the moral high ground for 20 years.

00:00:10.000 Pro-life, pro-family, and Catholic values have guided us to the top.

00:00:30.000 If you look at, since America came off the gold standard, it would take essentially the same amount of gold to buy the median home.

00:00:39.220 But if you were saving in dollars, you would need almost 15 times as many dollars to buy the median home today in the United States.

00:00:50.540 We'll see you next time.

00:01:20.540 Moving away from the U.S. currency as a medium of exchange.

00:01:27.120 And that is going to have massive repercussions for Americans, but really for the financial system all over the world.

00:01:33.260 With us to talk about this today is Drew Mason, who you know is a financial expert with whom LifeSite has teamed up with his organization, St. Joseph's Partners, to provide for you and your family precious metals to keep your financial situation secure during times of crisis.

00:01:52.840 This is the John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:01:55.140 Hey, my friends. Now is the time to stand up and fight.

00:02:01.420 We are just about to have the Synod on Synodality, and everything that you've seen indicates that it's going to be an absolute disaster.

00:02:10.460 We have Fr. James Martin as a personal appointee of the Pope speaking at it.

00:02:16.540 We've got Cardinal Cupich, Cardinal Tobin.

00:02:19.840 These picks of the Pope to engage in this Synod are indicative of where we're going.

00:02:26.700 We're going into heresy.

00:02:28.280 And at these times of great crisis, the church, especially those called in the laity to work for the glory of Christ and his church, are called to gather and strategize.

00:02:42.720 Back in 2014, LifeSite launched something called Rome Life Forum.

00:02:46.580 It was a gathering at that point of some 75 life and family leaders from all around the world to strategize as to what we could do.

00:02:54.920 And when we gathered, the majority of people were most concerned about what?

00:02:59.420 About Pope Francis, about what was going on in Rome.

00:03:03.340 But this was 2014.

00:03:05.260 But the life and family leaders saw it first.

00:03:09.660 Now, a decade on, we are confronted with some of the most severe challenges the church has ever faced.

00:03:16.380 And so, our tradition at LifeSite is to continue with Rome Life Forum, which has continued every year until we had to take a break over COVID because we weren't permitted.

00:03:26.360 But we're starting it up again.

00:03:28.440 Please come, if you feel so called, to Rome.

00:03:31.080 October 31st and November 1st, the very end of the Synod on Synodality.

00:03:38.600 And we'll be there to strategize with his eminence, with his excellency, and with many life and family leaders from around the world.

00:03:47.920 For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston.

00:03:50.120 And may God bless you.

00:03:53.420 Drew Mason, so good to be with you again.

00:03:56.240 Praise be Jesus.

00:03:57.460 Great to be here.

00:03:58.260 Thank you, John Henry.

00:03:59.200 And happy feast day to you.

00:04:00.440 And to you.

00:04:01.440 And let's begin as we always do.

00:04:02.860 With the sign of the cross.

00:04:04.600 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

00:04:09.300 Amen.

00:04:11.140 So, Drew, first of all, tell us what BRICS is and then what happened today.

00:04:16.760 Okay.

00:04:17.520 So, BRICS, as you said, John Henry, in the intro, stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and other nations that are gathering under their umbrella.

00:04:27.380 Many of the nations that are rich in commodities, who are coming together and they're realizing a dollar-based financial system is not in their interests.

00:04:37.640 But it's a U.S. dollar-based, right?

00:04:39.600 Correct.

00:04:40.440 Correct.

00:04:40.880 Yes.

00:04:41.320 So, just for a little history for the audience, John Henry, at the end of World War II, there was an event called Bretton Woods, when all the countries came together and they decided that they would make the U.S. dollar the sole reserve currency in the world.

00:04:56.340 That's only happened a handful of occasions in history.

00:04:59.640 And what that meant was, if you were France and Germany, rather than trading directly with your currencies, you would first buy dollars and convert into it.

00:05:07.980 So, it was an inordinate advantage for America that everyone would be trading in the U.S. currency.

00:05:15.580 And again, we've seen this a handful of times dating back to the Portuguese, Scudo, and then most recently in Great Britain, who had the sole reserve currency in the 18th century.

00:05:25.840 And in each of those occasions, John Henry, what happened was those countries became complacent, they lost manufacturing prowess, they lost their work ethic, and other nations ultimately just walked away from using that sole reserve currency.

00:05:44.220 And when that moment happened in time, especially, you know, with most data being available in Britain, when they lost theirs, you go back and you see it.

00:05:52.860 It's as though everyone in the world was aware that this was happening, but the people who were in the epicenter of this, who were benefiting the most from the paradigm, the Brits back then, and Americans today, were the last to really realize that the paradigm outside of them was shifting and the implications for it.

00:06:14.360 So, when the Brits lost the sole reserve currency, you could still go into your bank, and you could take out all those paper notes that you could save, but the implication was that they only bought a small fraction of what they bought.

00:06:28.180 The purchasing power was destroyed, and that sole reserve currency status came out.

00:06:32.700 And so, we are moving in that direction.

00:06:36.440 We've had recently some incredible statements come out.

00:06:39.300 I think we had referenced, perhaps before, the Treasury Secretary of the U.S., who should be a champion and defender of our currency, said U.S. currency isn't going to have the significance in the future that it's had.

00:06:49.380 We've had arguably the most famous investment group in the country, in the world, Berkshire Hathaway, say their working hypothesis is the currency will be worthless.

00:06:58.380 So, we're hearing these soundbites, but yet most Americans in particular, most Westerners really, are not awake to how extremely important this is.

00:07:11.320 As one of the leaders of the BRIC said, this is a tectonic shift in finance, when all of a sudden you start pricing everything in a different asset.

00:07:20.820 And what we're seeing may happen is that the BRICs are wrestling with these nations. 0.91

00:07:28.620 How do they lure other people into trading in their new currency?

00:07:34.160 Why should someone trust them when there's such distrust from any of those governments, Russia, China, et cetera?

00:07:40.080 And what we're waiting to hear is what their conclusion on that will be.

00:07:44.020 However, numerous nations have offered up the idea that they will back the BRICs currency by gold, meaning that you can exchange those paper notes into gold, like the U.S. dollar used to be.

00:08:01.080 The U.S. dollar used to say explicitly on it from the Constitution, you could exchange that $20 bill for gold.

00:08:08.680 And it said it explicitly on it, it was convenient to carry that paper dollar, it was, you know, a lot easier in your pocket.

00:08:16.320 But the only reason that had value was because the bearer of that dollar could go into the bank, and the function of the bank was to give them, give that bearer the physical gold.

00:08:25.860 And that was the underpinnings that made the dollar so successful.

00:08:30.680 So, you know, how do people then protect themselves if they know, as you said, this is 75% of the world population, that the financial sectors of that 75% is talking about moving away from this.

00:08:45.100 We know from the example in Britain that it massively devalues the currency such that, you know, and what is the percentage we're talking about here?

00:08:53.480 So, when it got devalued in England, let's say we're talking about pounds or whatever, one pound, let's say, brought a loaf of bread, how much were we paying for a loaf of bread after the fact?

00:09:07.440 Oh, dramatically, it was multiples more, John Henry.

00:09:11.160 And just to give you some data on that, on the implications of saving in currencies that are not backed by gold, for your viewers in Canada, for your countrymen there, we did some research ahead of this call.

00:09:28.920 And we went back, because it's really interesting these days, John, and just to share a little financial trivia with the audience.

00:09:36.240 The last day the world had a global currency that was backed by gold was when Nixon closed the gold window in the U.S.

00:09:46.920 That was, he chose to do that on August the 15th, 1971, the Feast of Our Lady of the Assumption.

00:09:53.920 Interestingly, today, when the BRICS are going into this coalition meeting, it is August the 22nd, 2023, another great feast day, the Queenship of Our Lady.

00:10:06.240 And in the incredible precision and order that the Lord has in the universe, beyond my comprehension, it has been exactly 19,000 days, exactly 19,000 days since that time.

00:10:18.380 And what has been the implication, well, for your fellow Canadians, who, if you had saved in gold, just kept the gold coins or gold bars within your family, when the gold standard ended, it would now take you essentially the same amount of gold, even a little less in Canada, to buy a home.

00:10:42.400 But the Canadian currency, if you were going to use Canadian dollars, and you look at the median home price of Canada, of a Canadian home from 1971 until the end of last year, you've needed five times as many Canadian dollars to buy that same home.

00:11:00.140 So if you had saved in gold, so if you had saved in gold, rather than in Canadian dollars, you see how much better off you would have been to buy whatever asset you wanted to buy.

00:11:09.540 And in America, it was even more dramatic.

00:11:11.840 If you look at, since America came off the gold standard, it would take essentially the same amount of gold to buy the median home.

00:11:19.780 But if you were saving in dollars, you would need almost 15 times as many dollars to buy the median home today in the United States.

00:11:31.620 So we don't know all that's going to transpire in terms of the intricacies of digital this or crypto or what the BRICS rulebook will essentially look like.

00:11:43.560 But what we can say is, although gold has no guarantees attached to it, it has this precedent that it has always worked in preserving the wealth of families who saved it.

00:11:57.700 And so our takeaway and our recommendation to families is not to say the world's ending.

00:12:05.780 The financial world likes to link gold with Armageddon.

00:12:09.340 And that's anything but the truth.

00:12:10.580 Gold is about having the financial resources in this new paradigm that's unfolding to provide for your family, to buy great things for your family, and for Christians and believers to have even more influence in the world.

00:12:24.020 The old saying goes, he who has the gold makes the rules.

00:12:27.880 And that's where that comes from.

00:12:29.260 So we would say to you, we believe, as a baseline, we think families want to have approximately 20% of their savings in gold.

00:12:39.660 Now, financial advisors say, that's crazy.

00:12:42.300 That's crazy.

00:12:43.500 The average account in the United States, if you look at the wire houses, the big brokers that control literally millions of family investment accounts, is 0% physical gold.

00:12:55.060 So de facto, financial advisors are recommending 0% physical gold because that's what shows up in the investors' accounts.

00:13:04.860 We say 20% is a baseline.

00:13:08.020 How can we justify that?

00:13:09.660 We again went back and looked at all the data going to 1971 through year-end 2022.

00:13:15.700 We said, okay, let's say you had had that classic financial advisors portfolio, 60% in the stock market, 40% in the bond market.

00:13:24.380 So that's the baseline approach that's the baseline approach that advisors would build from.

00:13:27.820 And say, okay, well, what if we layered in some gold?

00:13:30.640 How much would we have to layer in to maximize the portfolio?

00:13:35.660 And what we saw clearly from the data was 20%.

00:13:39.020 So that improved not only the return, but also reduced the volatility and maximize what's called the Sharpe ratio, which is a measure of portfolio efficiency.

00:13:49.360 So it doesn't mean a family has to get to that level right away, but we would encourage you to think about it.

00:13:56.500 It doesn't make sense that with all of these debts that are out here today, you know there's going to be problems in the currency markets.

00:14:05.020 You know there's going to be problems in the bond markets, and that means there's going to be problems in the real estate markets.

00:14:10.020 And when you look at the equity markets today, the valuations really should be ringing another alarm bell.

00:14:16.680 We looked at the end of the second quarter of this year, second quarter of 2023, the most recently completed quarter.

00:14:23.140 And we looked at the valuations of the stock market.

00:14:27.500 Companies today are playing games with their accounting to make their numbers look the best they can, right, the best they can get away with.

00:14:34.600 So we use what's called the Shiller PE ratio, which tries to take out some of the noise from accounting games.

00:14:42.060 And if you look at the Shiller ratio, valuing the stock market, it's at 30 times as of the second quarter.

00:14:50.560 You then go back and say, well, what has the market produced for investors when it started at a 30 times multiple, right?

00:15:00.200 So forget about looking back.

00:15:01.880 We know the last 10 years have been quite good, do we, by all this artificial government purchasing of these financial assets.

00:15:10.100 But with a starting point where we are today, looking forward, right, thinking forward of what the future is going to hold for your investments, what does history have to show us?

00:15:19.400 With this starting valuation, the median investment return investors should expect in the stock market for the decade ahead is 1% per year.

00:15:29.340 1% per year.

00:15:30.460 So as you sit there as the custodian, as the steward of your family's capital, we would say to you, look at the pie chart of your wealth.

00:15:39.760 What percent do you have in stocks?

00:15:41.900 Is that really warranted, given the outlook and given valuation?

00:15:45.160 What percent do you have in bonds?

00:15:46.640 What percent do you have in withering cash?

00:15:49.320 We would submit, you want to think about, pray about, making sure you get to that right allocation for gold.

00:15:55.800 We think history is whispering to us that this could be one of the most important financial decisions we'll make in terms of investments in our lives.

00:16:05.960 Because when this shift takes place, like it took place in Britain, whenever that is, you want to be ready for it, because then it's going to be extremely difficult to go back and reset what you had, while the financial assets were priced as they are today.

00:16:20.500 Indeed. So a lot of people, though, are going to be saying, wait a minute, in terms of my financial situation, I've still got a mortgage.

00:16:30.860 I've got no savings. We're still working on paying off the mortgage in the car.

00:16:36.980 What should I do? Should I even be involved in it at all?

00:16:39.980 Should I just, oh, that's just for people with enough money to invest.

00:16:43.040 We're not investing. We're just paying off debts. What do we do?

00:16:47.140 Yes, John Henry.

00:16:48.240 So many financial advisors will say gold makes sense if you have $10 million to invest in the portfolio.

00:16:55.880 And that is ludicrous, because the laws of finance apply, whether you have a $10 million portfolio, $100,000 portfolio, or whatever it is you have.

00:17:06.320 So we would say you do want to pay down debt.

00:17:09.560 The Bible is clear that debt is the currency of souls.

00:17:14.880 Gold is the currency of kings.

00:17:17.500 You want to pay down your debt.

00:17:18.940 But aside from your decision to do that, when you look at whatever savings you have, that's our suggestion.

00:17:28.940 Hello, friends.

00:17:29.760 To celebrate the momentous overturning of Roe v. Wade, we at LifeSite have minted just under 10,000 of these brand new limited edition pro-life silver rounds.

00:17:38.420 Now, each round is stamped with the image of the Supreme Court of the United States, featuring the date that the High Court delivered this historic victory.

00:17:45.940 And on the front of our pure silver rounds, LifeSite's logo surrounded by a brilliant sunburst and draped with olive branches.

00:17:51.980 They, of course, commemorate our 25-year anniversary of LifeSite News.

00:17:55.460 We began in 1997 in September.

00:17:58.280 So September of 2022 was 25 years.

00:18:00.760 These one-ounce silver rounds are available from our partners at stjosephspartners.com, where you can fulfill all of your silver and gold needs in this perilous time.

00:18:10.320 May God bless you.

00:18:10.820 So, John Hunter, we've talked about why the currencies have a very bleak future, because they've been, they are so overly and literally hopelessly indebted today.

00:18:22.620 And that's the case for the first time in financial history of all the world's major currencies.

00:18:28.160 They are on a synchronized path to hopelessly indebtedness, to hopeless indebtedness.

00:18:33.960 We talked about the implication that it has for the bond markets and the negative implications the stock market has, not only with those headwinds, but with valuations where we're starting from.

00:18:43.280 But think about gold, which has the attribute of being inversely correlated to those other assets, which means when they struggle, historically, gold thrives.

00:18:54.700 In the Great Depression, if you look at it from the peak to the trough, the stock market fell 80%.

00:19:00.540 Over that period, gold rose 70%.

00:19:04.040 So you can see that very desirable building block in a portfolio that offsets the stress that hits stock markets and real estate markets.

00:19:13.160 You saw something similar in many of, in really all the crises we've had financially in the country, right up to the last one, the great financial crisis in 08.

00:19:21.300 The stock market was deeply stressed.

00:19:24.360 And if you look at the trajectory from the market's peak to trough in the great financial crisis, gold was up over 17%.

00:19:31.400 Today, the tailwinds lining up behind gold are as exhilarating and positive as the headwinds are daunting for these financial assets.

00:19:42.540 When are they?

00:19:43.540 Well, first, when you're talking about asset, think of supply.

00:19:46.360 The supply of gold is very tight.

00:19:48.840 It's less than one half of 1% of global wealth.

00:19:52.580 And the CEO of the largest gold mining company in the world said, even if every blueprint works perfectly well in terms of gold projects that company is working on, the supply of gold this decade will still fall by a third.

00:20:08.900 Do you have an asset less than 1% global wealth?

00:20:12.040 And when I'm talking about the supply of that asset coming to the world falling dramatically further.

00:20:18.380 Demand for this asset is increasing.

00:20:21.520 We are seeing the central banks around the world who are the most plugged in investors, who know what they are doing to their own currencies, who know what their governments are doing, are buying gold aggressively.

00:20:33.160 2022 was a record year for how much money central banks put into buying gold, and 2023 has even accelerated further beyond that pace.

00:20:43.840 They are selling dollars, reducing their exposure to dollars, and they're adding to gold.

00:20:50.580 The demand picture from that perspective looks great.

00:20:53.340 And when you realize less than 1% of Western investors have any gold yet, you see where the demand is going to begin to rise.

00:21:01.120 As people wake up to the realities of financial history and they say higher inflation is bad for financial assets, it's great for gold.

00:21:10.020 Currency indebtedness is bad for financial assets, great for gold.

00:21:13.460 And they go through the list and they see this extraordinary setup that gold has.

00:21:19.380 It is another reason to say it makes sense to have some of this in your portfolio.

00:21:25.780 20% mathematically has worked out very well.

00:21:28.580 And why wouldn't an investor want at least 20% of their portfolio exposed assets that have such strong fundamental outlooks moving forward?

00:21:39.840 Let me just say here, if you're interested in investing in gold, do so with our partners at St. Joseph's Partners.

00:21:48.760 If you go to lifesitenews.com and click on the ad that you'll see there, it says, Protect Yourself, St. Joseph's Partners.

00:21:56.900 Tell us, Drew, if you could, as we close out here, about silver as well, because we've talked a lot about gold.

00:22:03.380 But for a lot of people, they're going to say, well, you know, even one ounce of gold is tough for me.

00:22:08.900 But silver is there, too.

00:22:11.220 What does it mean?

00:22:12.180 It's a lot more affordable, but also, you know, does it have that same kind of potential that gold does?

00:22:21.300 Does it have that same kind of power to protect your assets and protect your family?

00:22:28.480 Thank you, John Hendry.

00:22:29.340 You are so right.

00:22:30.680 Anything we say about gold, we could say about silver.

00:22:34.440 What is good for gold is good for silver.

00:22:37.280 And you bring up a great point.

00:22:39.560 A lot of, especially in the third world, where families have the same concerns and they're saying, what can I save in to protect my wealth?

00:22:47.800 I don't want to save in our currency here.

00:22:50.140 And they ask their grandparents, what can we save in?

00:22:53.600 And they say gold or silver.

00:22:54.980 That's the money that no government can destroy.

00:22:57.580 And many will go to silver for exactly the reasons you're saying.

00:23:01.540 When you speak with our advisors, we recommend, ultimately, investors have both gold and silver in their portfolios.

00:23:09.640 The mix between gold and silver depends on an individual family's situation.

00:23:15.000 And we step through that with them, learning what are their needs, what are their concerns.

00:23:20.160 But your point also, John Hendry, many investors don't realize, was fully appreciated by the founders of the United States.

00:23:28.840 They didn't put us on the gold standard in the Constitution.

00:23:32.000 They put us on a bi-metallic standard.

00:23:34.460 It was gold and silver standard.

00:23:36.360 Gold and silver were both written in the Constitution as U.S. money.

00:23:40.040 Gold for bigger ticket transactions, but silver so that the middle class, the working class, could be paid in a currency that wouldn't lose its value over time and that we can use for day-to-day transactions.

00:23:54.800 If we want to go into a supermarket and there is currency stress, what will they accept?

00:23:59.520 Historically, silver has worked extremely well.

00:24:02.560 Silver's fundamentals are also very attractive.

00:24:05.280 The supply of silver coming out of the ground relative to the demand for it is on a trajectory now to hit a record shortfall, record deficit this year, because demand for silver is very strong.

00:24:20.320 When you talk about the uses of silver today, three-quarters of it is for industrial purposes.

00:24:27.000 Only one-quarter so far is for money and investing.

00:24:30.680 And that industrial end market for silver is all the things that the financial markets are enamored with, your cell phones, your computers, any type of hybrid battery, wind power, health care.

00:24:44.380 They're realizing now silver is a natural biocidal.

00:24:48.340 So if you have a burn and you don't want to have to change the bandage if you're in a hospital because you'll rip that skin off, you lace those bandages with silver and you won't need to change them.

00:24:59.400 And the skin can heal.

00:25:01.200 Water is a filtration mechanism for water.

00:25:05.680 When the Phoenicians used to go into war and they were on their ships, they had this dilemma.

00:25:09.820 How can we keep our water pure?

00:25:11.800 They realized we just throw some silver in there.

00:25:14.880 Our water, our drinking water will stay pure.

00:25:17.280 So these industrial end markets are extraordinary for silver.

00:25:21.020 However, the monetary ratio of gold to silver now is 80 times, meaning you get 80 ounces of silver for one ounce of gold.

00:25:32.440 Historically, that has been closer to 1.5, 15 times.

00:25:36.620 And when you look at the silver that's coming out of the ground relative to gold, it's only about 7 to 1.

00:25:41.900 So, again, whatever we say about gold is very positive for silver.

00:25:47.900 We think it will also do extremely well.

00:25:50.780 And in a one-on-one conversation, we can delve into what may make the most sense for your family, either in your taxable accounts or in a retirement account, where you can also save in silver, save in physical gold to protect your wealth at this juncture.

00:26:07.020 Absolutely beautiful.

00:26:07.800 Go to LifeSiteNews.com and click on Protect Yourself.

00:26:15.000 And that's our link to St. Joseph's Partners, our partners who help you and your family prepare for the future with precious metals.

00:26:23.440 Drew, final word.

00:26:25.120 Any last thoughts for us as we close out?

00:26:28.940 John Henry, many people also don't realize that while gold has the laws of finance supporting it,

00:26:37.800 higher inflation is great for gold, higher debts are great for gold.

00:26:41.500 It has the history of finance supporting it.

00:26:44.260 Every time you've had a currency not backed by gold, it's failed.

00:26:48.980 Every time you've saved in gold, it has preserved the wealth of the families that invested in it.

00:26:54.820 But the third leg of the stool, we would say, to make the case for gold is biblical.

00:27:01.400 Gold is the only asset scripture counsels us to buy so that we will grow wealthy.

00:27:08.300 And it specifies not paper gold, not IOUs that are centuries old, but physical gold refined in the fire.

00:27:14.720 We recognize the primary meaning of that was spiritual.

00:27:20.240 However, the Bible is very precise, and there are so many layers of truth in it.

00:27:25.360 The fact that it is the only asset scripture counsels us to buy is significant.

00:27:29.840 In the Bible, God also says, the silver and the gold are mine.

00:27:35.500 We think that's a big reason why Wall Street hates it, while many in finance hate it, because God has aligned himself with silver and gold, literally.

00:27:46.800 And then the third reference we would make that we think is so noteworthy is that if you go back to the Garden of Eden,

00:27:53.240 when you wouldn't think there was any need for commerce,

00:27:55.400 before God threw Adam and Eden out of the Garden of Eden,

00:27:59.700 he told Adam where to go to find the gold.

00:28:04.360 It was the only asset he told him where to go to find it.

00:28:07.840 Why did he do that?

00:28:08.680 Why was it so significant?

00:28:10.700 We'll fully find out in the next life,

00:28:13.260 but the fact that we have that kind of a spiritual overlay on top of the laws of finance and the history of finance,

00:28:19.960 we think is something that many believers don't realize.

00:28:22.580 And we encourage them to just reflect on that as you pray about what's in the best interest for you and your family moving forward.

00:28:30.080 Very interesting.

00:28:31.460 So even though we know that the meaning is, first of all, spiritual,

00:28:36.360 scriptural has many levels.

00:28:39.180 And one of them is the very obvious, you know, literal meaning of things.

00:28:44.180 Give us a couple of those verses if you can.

00:28:47.440 John Henry, it is Revelation chapter 3.

00:28:50.820 I believe it's 15, where scripture says,

00:28:56.320 and I'm almost embarrassed to say it exactly this way,

00:28:58.680 but the literal quote is,

00:29:00.060 I counsel you to buy gold from me refined in the fire so that you may grow wealthy.

00:29:05.240 And I am almost certain that's Revelation 3.15.

00:29:08.200 John Henry, I believe it is Genesis chapter 2,

00:29:11.100 where God tells Adam where to go and find the gold.

00:29:14.440 And, John Henry, I am so embarrassed.

00:29:18.360 Maybe by the time this show is produced,

00:29:20.360 we'll have a quote here for you of the biblical verse where the Lord says,

00:29:23.940 the silver and the gold are mine.

00:29:26.100 Beautiful.
