Should indeed major pressure break out in the financial markets,
00:00:03.180
or historically has outperformed, it allows investors to get well outside of the financial
00:00:08.380
system. Because when you hog physical gold, you don't need someone else, some other exchange or
00:00:14.520
some entity to invite you with the capital to do what you want. You have it in your possession.
00:00:19.040
Hello, my friends. We're going to be speaking in this show with Drew Mason, whom I'm sure many of
00:00:31.300
you know by now. He's the one we partnered with at LifeSite News to get you the gold you need to
00:00:37.140
supply to your families. He's with St. Joseph's Partners. As you also know, he speaks a lot about
00:00:41.520
spiritual things, about fasting. He's here to discuss today, spiritually speaking, how war has
00:00:48.140
been declared on the USA and on the church. And then we get to the portion about gold and what's
00:00:54.580
upcoming. In addition to the severity of our situation politically and economically, he's
00:01:00.900
suggesting that gold may go as high as $50,000 an ounce. I know that sounds incredible, but for
00:01:07.560
that explanation, please join us on this episode of the John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

Why don't you begin with a short prayer, and we'll start and end with the Son of the Cross. How's that?
00:04:04.200
In the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

all of your blessings, our favorite blessings, and those we're not even aware of.
00:04:23.060
Father, we ask you to rain down your Holy Spirit upon all who hear this broadcast.
00:04:29.620
Father, we ask for a moment of grace, that whatever is true, that will resonate with these
00:04:37.260
viewers, to help them protect themselves spiritually, financially, in every way.
00:04:43.000
So we ask this in the sweet name of Jesus. Amen and amen.
00:04:49.160
So, Drew, please tell us what's going on in the world today. Start with spiritually, if you would.
00:04:55.900
What we'd like to share with viewers, John Henry, is something that inherently they probably
00:05:01.520
already have been thinking about, but to really call to mind the severity of the moment. War
00:05:09.400
has been declared on the United States of America. And war has been declared on the Christian church,
00:05:18.180
with the epicenter probably being the war on the Catholic church.
00:05:21.220
And as Jesus has told us, as St. Paul says in scriptures, there's no reason to wonder why these
00:05:30.420
things happen. Everything that happens has to do with the battle of good and evil for our salvation.
00:05:35.880
And what we know is that Jesus doesn't declare war, but Satan does. And he influences people,
00:05:47.580
many of whom are his direct followers, to agitate and to confront all that the Holy Spirit would have us do.
00:05:57.420
Truth has a power of its own. It moves hearts and saves lives. It heals wounds and restores souls,
00:06:05.020
but only if it is heard. That's why our enemies are working nonstop to suppress the truth. That's why
00:06:12.320
LifeSite News is the most censored life, faith, and family news source in the world. They are working
00:06:18.280
to keep you in the dark. They are working overtime to make you feel alone and forgotten. But God says,
00:06:25.760
I will never forget you. God never leaves us without hope of victory. And LifeSite News will never stop
00:06:32.040
sharing the truth that sets us free. We will tell the truth without fear. We will tell the truth
00:06:38.180
without compromise. And as mainstream platforms silence us, we will build our own. That's why I'm
00:06:45.200
pleased to announce today the launch of the new LSN TV app, which can bring all LifeSite News' top video
00:06:52.220
content direct to your phone, tablet, computer, and TV so that you can bypass the censors and keep
00:06:58.680
fighting with us for life, faith, family, and freedom. Don't be alone in the darkness.
00:07:03.800
We've been canceled. Fight the cancellation. Download the app.
00:07:10.060
The attack on the church and the attack on the United States has been strikingly similar.
00:07:15.760
It's been going on for years, for decades. In Medjugorje, Our Lady had told us this war
00:07:24.720
was going to break out years ago. And I would say to every Catholic who is watching this,
00:07:32.380
and also to every Protestant who is watching this, if you care about your faith, you must
00:07:39.940
delve into Medjugorje. I would submit to you that Jesus' words prove, from the Gospels, its truth.
00:07:49.440
And in Medjugorje, we have something that's never happened in the 2,000-year history of the church.
00:07:53.940
The church, which has only approved about a dozen apparitions in 2,000 years, has approved
00:08:00.180
the beginning apparitions, even though this phenomenon has not concluded. And you think about that,
00:08:07.100
and you think that is such an imprudent move to make. Yet Benedict was so calculating, so careful.
00:08:14.660
What was he seeing that led him to begin to open that door, approving Medjugorje before it was done?
00:08:21.640
I think the only logical conclusion is that Benedict saw, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this clear
00:08:29.000
supernatural phenomenon was from God because of, again, what Jesus triangulated on Scripture.
00:08:35.140
And I think he was worried that as the evil continued to seethe into the Catholic Church,
00:08:42.020
that it may be stymied and stifled, and a great opportunity would be lost because people would not
00:08:47.800
know of these teachings and the power that comes from it. So in Medjugorje, Our Lady told us this war
00:08:54.500
was about to break out. And what we've seen has been a very ambitious plan by Satan to infiltrate,
00:09:03.000
in the case of America, every layer of government, of our regulations, whether it's the federal
00:09:09.060
government, the states, the local government. You look at their actions and you say, it doesn't make
00:09:13.820
any sense what they're doing. Every decision they're making seems absurd, unless you look at their
00:09:22.340
decisions through the prism of, they have been bribed by our enemies to do what is most opportunistic
00:09:31.240
to destroy the country. And then suddenly everything they're doing makes perfect sense,
00:09:37.300
as does the fact that they have become such multimillionaires, even though they're in service,
00:09:43.240
in positions that don't nearly compensate for such wealth. And you look at their agencies that they
00:09:49.760
have surrounded themselves with, the FDA, that now clearly pushes poison, not only in our drugs,
00:09:56.360
but in our foods. Americans who have been so hurt and think of things such as gluten problems,
00:10:04.000
not realizing the poisons that are put into processing, and obviously our drugs. You look at
00:10:10.920
the legal system that has been totally compromised, is unrecognizable as the Christian republic that we
00:10:18.640
were created to be, where no judge could supersede the Ten Commandments as the foundation of our
00:10:25.340
country dedicated to King Jesus. And the list goes on. Every area in the church, it's been similar.
00:10:33.520
We have an imposter at the highest level who has surrounded himself with satanic worshipers. In
00:10:40.440
the case of the Vatican, they've been open about it. They have shown us the satanic worship of
00:10:46.100
Pacamama. And the bishops, like the American government, continue to push policies that are in the
00:10:53.820
worst interests of the church and of believers. On the one hand, this may seem very discouraging.
00:11:01.260
But what I would really want to do is to tell believers, if we will awaken, this is a moment of
00:11:09.320
great opportunity. Our Lady has said, this is a moment of great grace. The grace is spreading through
00:11:15.160
the world. We just need to know how to defend ourselves. We've talked about fasting in the past.
00:11:20.360
Now, the Catholic bishops insidiously rewrote scripture in the 1960s to take out one of
00:11:28.500
Jesus's most important teachings, the teaching on how to defeat evil. When he said, when evil is strong,
00:11:34.920
Christians, you can pray all day long and you're going to lose every time. The only way to defeat
00:11:41.080
evil when it's strong is by incorporating fasting into your prayer. And so twice a week fasting,
00:11:48.140
John Henry, is what Our Lady has said, and to all of our Protestant brothers, what some of your
00:11:54.380
greatest ministers, like John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church, concurred with Our Lady in
00:11:59.680
Medjugorje saying, we are obligated to fast Wednesdays and Fridays. But obligation just keeps us out of
00:12:05.560
trouble. To go beyond that, in this moment of war, when I know so many patriots in our country,
00:12:13.960
so many believers in our church who desire to see great things happen, this is an opportunity for
00:12:20.820
us to step up because when believers have fasted in the past, great things have happened. And John
00:12:29.260
Henry said, what we would like to ask believers to consider joining is joining us, to join a spiritual
00:12:36.720
militia of King Jesus. And at least for this wonderful upcoming month of May that's ahead of
00:12:42.780
us, we ask you to do what may sound implausible, to join us in the fast six days a week. The specific
00:12:51.320
prescription we would submit would be Wednesdays and Fridays, 24 hours, bread and water, all the bread
00:12:57.000
you want, all the water you want. You want some butter, olive oil. It's relatively simple. And then on
00:13:02.300
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, so the days other than the Sabbath, you'll limit yourself
00:13:07.060
to having just one full meal, bread and water on the other two. So it's very doable. But every day,
00:13:14.180
believers will then be on the offensive. And Scripture tells us there is exponential power
00:13:19.640
to our prayers. So we have to remember there will be regrets in heaven. And most likely those regrets
00:13:28.540
will be people who we loved, who won't be with us. Because Jesus is clear, the road is narrow.
00:13:34.360
In Medjugorje, at least two-thirds from what Our Lady has triangulated are not going to heaven.
00:13:41.040
By fasting in this way, we will trigger so many conversions and such a turn. So that is what
00:13:48.860
spiritually we're embarking on. You don't want the regrets of having had some weapon in your arsenal
00:13:57.220
that could have saved so many, including those you loved, and didn't make the effort.
00:14:01.820
We have every conviction. You will be so happy through all of eternity that you made this effort.
00:14:07.920
And that was what spiritually we wanted to update everyone with and share with you, John Henry.
00:14:12.660
Amazing. Amazing. I know a lot of parents are doing some form of fasting for their kids,
00:14:18.180
giving up chocolate or whether it be drinking or whatever, in order to hopefully bring their kids
00:14:26.180
around. And that's very powerful stuff. So Drew, what's happening though in the financial world?
00:14:33.180
Since we've last been together, John Henry, gold has moved to an all-time high. And we're seeing
00:14:39.540
headlines of major nations buying more gold and more silver than they have in the past. We're seeing
00:14:48.860
clear indications that many in Asia, including the young, who previously gravitated towards
00:14:56.140
cryptocurrencies, stocks in real estate, have become the largest buyers of gold, saying that
00:15:02.780
they are concluding it is the only safe haven. So that's what's happening. But John Henry, what we are
00:15:09.180
experiencing with investors when we speak with them is they're saying, wow, gold's moved now to 2,000,
00:15:16.600
2,200. What is left? Is it maybe going to 2,400, 2,500? Is that the ultimate trade we're looking
00:15:23.880
for? And so we wanted to share an idea with people. And that is, we think gold is going to $50,000 an
00:15:34.100
ounce. Now, the first thing I have to say to the audience is you have to understand the market doesn't
00:15:39.640
care what I think. It can laugh. I can be totally wrong. We may never get there. There are no
00:15:45.960
guarantees. At times, gold has lost money. But where do we go from here? Why do we think it's going to
00:15:53.360
$50,000 an ounce? The argument that we think is deserving of consideration would be to ask you a
00:16:01.920
simple question. Mr. Investor, Ms. Investor, show us one currency from the history of the world
00:16:11.780
that when that nation became hopelessly indebted, you didn't ultimately see gold move to 50,000 units
00:16:19.820
in that currency. And we don't think you're going to be able to find one where that hasn't proven true.
00:16:28.080
So this may take our entire lifetimes. Again, we could be wrong. We could be wrong. But let's say
00:16:34.320
we're wrong and gold goes to 10,000 an ounce or something like that. Considering that the primary
00:16:39.840
reason we're allocating to gold is for defense, we think that is very noteworthy. And John Henry,
00:16:46.840
as it relates to incorporating gold into portfolios, we have submitted to your viewers before that we
00:16:54.600
think 20% is an optimal allocation. Now, great news, John Henry, as I think you and your audience
00:17:01.940
are aware, science, real science has proven that atheism is baseless. There is no intellectual
00:17:09.120
ground to stand on to claim atheism. In the world of finance, the science of money, which is finance,
00:17:18.320
the study of finance, has shown empirically, that if you desire to optimize your portfolio for your
00:17:27.260
family, you need healthy allocation to gold. We went back and we looked at what if you combine
00:17:35.060
physical gold into a financial portfolio? We went back to the Great Depression. We said,
00:17:42.360
what will the optimal mix be? And we defined optimal, and that is the highest return. Because
00:17:48.880
you could get a super high return, but you take extraordinary risks, and that's not worth it.
00:17:53.900
But we measured it by what's called the Sharpe ratio in finance, which tries to count for how much risk
00:17:59.480
is taken for a unit of return. And going all the way back to the Great Depression, you optimize a
00:18:06.180
portfolio with 15% allocated to gold. Since America left the gold standard, portfolio has been optimized
00:18:14.620
with a 20% allocation. And when we looked at the most inflationary years since we left the gold
00:18:22.600
standard, what we did was we ranked the years from highest to least inflation, and we looked at the top
00:18:28.900
20%. In that setting, the optimal portfolio came out to be 100% gold. Now, we are absolutely not
00:18:38.920
saying people should go 100% gold allocation. The Bible tells us that we should diversify our wealth
00:18:48.300
into a handful of different investments in order to optimize our situation, what we've been entrusted
00:18:56.020
with as stewards. But what we think this really does highlight is we are likely moving into a period
00:19:03.040
where inflation is persistent. And in periods of inflation, higher levels of gold are warranted.
00:19:14.220
So we think the question is for each witness, each observer here, to go to your financial advisor,
00:19:20.960
that's who sets your portfolio. Have them explain to you, why doesn't it make sense?
00:19:26.020
For you, in this time, to have a 20% allocation of your net wealth, the defensive gold, knowing that
00:19:33.180
gold has never lost all its value, that it has uncorrelated the financial assets, which means
00:19:39.400
should indeed major pressure break out in the financial markets, gold historically has outperformed.
00:19:45.240
It allows investors to get wealth outside of the financial system, because when you have physical
00:19:50.400
gold in the financial markets, you don't need someone else, some other exchange or some entity
00:19:55.560
to provide you with the capital to do what you want, you have it in your possession. The returns
00:20:00.380
have been more than credible for a defensive asset. So for all those reasons of knowing that
00:20:06.140
our debts are simply unpayable, and that is not Armageddon. Viewers, do not think this is about
00:20:13.600
Armageddon. We have hundreds of case studies in financial history. Every time governments are
00:20:20.240
overly indebted, wealth transitions to gold. We never have Armageddon. So what that has meant
00:20:24.340
is the families that look forward, instead of looking in their rearview mirror, and they positioned
00:20:29.880
for this debt transition, were given opportunities that were fabulous. And Christians and investors who
00:20:37.480
had gold were able to have more influence on society, which is absolutely what we want as we move into
00:20:42.840
this new paradigm, John Henry. And if you want to invest in gold, this is why we partnered with
00:20:48.680
Drew and his company. Please go to the link below that you'll find in this video. You want to invest
00:20:56.100
with people that you can trust. And as I've said before, when we were looking to do this, find a good
00:21:01.740
company that we could do this with, Drew gave us a call. He was actually an advertiser on Lifesight
00:21:07.940
already. When we called about, you know, partnering up like this, it was very interesting because he
00:21:14.460
first told me, well, we've got to pray about it. And I was like, okay. And I got the call to pray
00:21:20.380
while I was in an airport. And he said, let's pray a rosary. Not even so much to decide right away to do
00:21:28.540
it, but just to help in the discernment process. So there in the airport, I walked up and down and we
00:21:34.000
prayed the rosary together. But it was beautiful because it showed the kind of character Drew is
00:21:39.140
and his company. And we are so very proud at Lifesight to partner with St. Joseph's Partners so
00:21:44.340
that we can provide you with someone trustworthy to invest your wealth with so that you can provide
00:21:50.320
for your family. Drew, thank you so very much for being with us and God bless you.
00:21:55.200
And God bless all of you. And we'll see you next time.
