A new era of politics and media has begun in the USA and Canada. A new era where the establishment media outlets have been bypassed and replaced by alternative media outlets. A time when politicians have solid leads and support from alternative media platforms. Trump upset the establishment and solidly won this election not because of them, but because of the media outlets he was interviewed by.
00:00:30.000Hey y'all, sorry for the little hiccup there.
00:00:57.940to spend the new year's hangover getting everything together we're going to start practicing saying
00:01:02.500y'all because we're going to be 51st state pretty soon right i don't think we'll count on that
00:01:07.860happening but what a bizarre year when starting out with a discussion of a very unusual president
00:01:14.340constantly mocking canada talking about annexing us and a completely incompetent but a thankfully0.71
00:01:20.180outgoing prime minister who is uh unfortunately though not in a strong position to deal with that
00:01:26.340right now. What is it? The old Chinese proverb, a curse and a blessing, you know, asking, wishing
00:01:32.620somebody lives in interesting times. Interesting times we certainly have. I got a good show coming
00:01:38.200up. Lots to cover again. You know, boy, there's no shortage of news items to cover. Use that
00:01:42.700comment scroll, guys. Let me know what you're seeing, what you're thinking. If you've got
00:01:45.920questions, things like that. That's part of the fun of being on a live broadcast. I got a couple
00:01:50.380of guests coming on in a little while. They're Chris Holden, Chris Holden, I'm terrible with names,
00:01:55.580and Tessa Partridge Mather. They're on New World Precious Metals. We're going to talk about
00:02:00.380gold, silver, those sorts of investments, precious metals, because when you're in an unstable world
00:02:04.860actually precious metals tend to be one of the things that stays stable and constant.
00:02:09.740All right, I'll be checking in with that news update from Dave pretty quickly as well. Let's
00:02:13.500start off with gossip and this one's got me pissing and moaning today. So as more information trickles
00:02:18.620out to the public on the latest turtle debacle interesting i've got the wrong monologue loaded
00:02:26.780but that's all right i'll find it on my computer and we'll get the right one and uh deal with that
00:02:31.580so that one sounded familiar it's because it's the one i did a little while ago all right we're
00:02:35.900getting into a new new era a new era of media here in the western standard and uh uh broke my
00:02:43.980float right off but that's okay i wrote this check my mic is everybody hearing me can i get a thumbs
00:02:49.560up from somebody so uh as i said we have a few technical issues going on i just need to know
00:02:55.000people are listening before i start that monologue so any commenters if you kindly let me know if you
00:02:59.740can hear me or not it doesn't appear that you do so uh as soon as you guys hear me we'll get going
00:03:05.400on this and uh we'll see what we can do with it but uh so i got no sound going on or what well i
00:03:12.000I haven't had anybody commenting saying they do.
00:03:13.960Either way, let's try with the monologue.
00:03:15.760A new era of politics and media, get back to that, has begun.
00:03:19.480And it's going to blossom in 2025 while the last generation of politicians continue to cater to the communication platforms held by the last generation of media.
00:03:30.700Forward-thinking politicians have embraced new independent media outlets.
00:03:34.720In the USA, the established media is firmly Democrat.
00:03:37.720In Canada, the Laurentian media establishment is dedicated to the Liberal Party, of course.
00:03:42.000In both nations, the establishment elites have been bypassed by conservative politicians.
00:03:47.540And now those politicians have solid leads and support.
00:03:51.700Why? They went to alternative media platforms.
00:03:55.340So shortly before the 2024 presidential election in the United States,
00:03:58.400we all remember Donald Trump sat down for a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan.
00:05:59.060The quotes written for him could go viral, and the photo sessions of him with his hair cascading behind him in Fabio's style could be released to grace the walls of fangirls in college dorms and behind CBC news desks.
00:06:11.080Trudeau's face could appear everywhere while the words attributed to him were carefully curated, but those days are gone.
00:06:16.880People want to feel they've gotten to know the politician, vying for their support, and only long-form interviews with a real candid feel can do that.
00:09:16.980But the cops found or went to the bridge there, Lionsgate Bridge, and somebody had found an injured eagle and they were preparing to eat it.
00:09:28.060So fortunately, the bird was rescued and is now rehabilitating eagle wings, I guess.
00:20:54.440silver, because it has three unique properties, it conducts electricity and heat better than any
00:21:03.380other element. And it's also the shiniest metal. It actually has over 10,000 applications. So
00:21:09.020is one of the most used commodities on earth. And it's also considered, just given its price
00:21:16.320point right now, like one of the cheapest commodities on earth, given all of its applications.
00:21:20.980so when we're talking though about taking i mean that's where i guess a service like you guys it's
00:21:27.400not as simple then as just buying some metal keeping it home which a person you know theoretically
00:21:31.200could do and we do that too we do that too we just don't recommend that people have over
00:21:35.760approximately ten thousand dollars you know at home um for safety reasons yeah um so we have
00:21:42.100clients that they take a portion of the metals home and then they roll over a portion of their
00:21:47.100registered savings. And they also invest outside the banking system with our international account.
00:21:53.060Yeah. So taking investments outside of Canadian borders, I mean, it's just an area where a person
00:21:57.360also wants to make sure they're doing it right or doing it carefully. And that's part of where
00:22:01.600I imagine you guys are helping with this. I mean.
00:22:04.440Yeah. So we are regulated by FinTrack. We're regulated by anti-money laundering regulations,
00:22:10.880terrorist financing regulations. So we have to make sure we know our customer, we know where
00:22:15.560the money's coming from. And the average Canadian citizens that we work with are hardworking people,
00:22:22.320many of them rural. They're looking for ways that they can grow and protect their wealth
00:22:28.160and move some outside of the banking system. And actually, Canada is one of the countries
00:22:34.220with the largest amount of banking hegemony. We invest our money solely inside Canadian
00:22:42.140jurisdiction. It's very uncommon in the rest of the world. Most countries that are Western
00:22:48.100countries have portions of their wealth invested in other jurisdictions, but we solely grow our
00:22:54.820wealth within the Canadian jurisdiction. And only recently, you know, given the last, you know,
00:23:00.280nine, 10 years of our government, et cetera, have been people been interested in, you know,
00:23:04.780hey, maybe there's other places to store our wealth. How can we, alternatives to grow our
00:23:09.660wealth, basically. Yeah. So, I mean, everything has their ups and downs. Quite often, it's something
00:23:13.460you've always been able to see. If a currency goes down, often the precious metals will go up. I mean,
00:23:18.700that's where investors tend to go if they're losing confidence in a fiat currency. So, I mean,
00:23:23.900as a hedge against the Canadian dollar dropping, precious metals, I imagine, have been a good bet
00:23:28.380lately. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Over the course of the last 25 years, the price of gold has
00:23:34.400appreciated on average 9% a year. Even last year alone, the price appreciated by 27%.
00:23:41.800And if you take a look historically, back in 1913, when the Federal Reserve, the Central
00:23:48.680Bank of the United States was created, gold was trading at $20.67. And nowadays it trades
00:23:55.480at $2,600. And so if you do the math, you can see that the value of the US dollar has lost about
00:24:05.82098% of its purchasing power in terms of the value of gold. Yeah. So I mean, it's still always a
00:24:12.900person has to think very carefully. I mean, you've only got so much in your portfolio. How much do
00:24:18.240you suggest a person kind of dedicates that? I mean, you were saying some of the risk is having
00:24:21.380everything in the eggs in one basket in Canada, but at the same time, you don't want to pour too
00:24:24.580much into another investment, I guess. But I mean, you know, what's a reasonable amount of
00:24:31.300person to be looking at? I would say historically, wealth managers have recommended approximately 10%
00:24:39.500of a portfolio be in physical assets and gold and silver. But in the last few years, and the amount
00:24:46.180of global instability, a lot of products coming on the market, cryptos that can go up and down
00:24:53.160rapidly, different wars happening, that's really increased over time, where some managers of
00:25:01.480portfolios are saying, you know, maybe 40 to 50% of wealth should be moved out of markets that move
00:25:07.460a lot and into physical, but it's really up to the client's particular appetite.
00:25:13.700So, I mean, and does this, you know, is this only for large investors or are there some people with
00:25:20.440modest portfolios like I mean what does it take to get into sort of well I think I think regular
00:25:27.140everyday investors should have a portion of their wealth protected through precious metals
00:25:32.680our accounts start at five thousand dollars and we're one of the only brokerage firms in Canada
00:25:39.840that offers such a low entry point we feel like this investment is actually for everybody and
00:25:45.280everyone should move a portion, whether it's $5,000 or whether it's $100,000. Our average
00:25:50.600account sizes are around $100,000. We have million-dollar investors into physical gold and
00:25:56.740silver. So we do everybody. We serve everyone, and we like that philosophy. We really believe
00:26:02.860in this investment. We're also at the beginning of a bull market. Yeah. On the two previous bull
00:26:12.200markets. There was a bull market from 1972 to 1980 that saw gold appreciate 800% and silver
00:26:19.980appreciated 1500%. And then there was another bull market cycle that occurred between 2002 and
00:26:27.0802011, where again, gold appreciated 800% and silver appreciated 1200%. And we feel that this
00:26:36.460latest bull cycle started in 2015, where gold was just over $1,000 an ounce. And so if history
00:26:44.500repeats, we should see potentially $8,000 gold. It sounds wild, but we've been here before. And
00:26:54.100this percentage point has happened in these bull market cycles before. And they always tend to do
00:27:00.480better in times exactly like this mention of war global instability and now this bull market cycle
00:27:08.120could be even bigger because now it's global and the central banks around the world are are buying
00:27:13.780up gold year after year record-breaking levels in the last four years and and it looks like it's
00:27:20.100not slowing down so why why would these central banks be accumulating so much physical metal
00:27:25.120um more you know the same levels you know that that matched the 1950s yeah so as an asset if
00:27:32.580it's tied up in in in precious metals I mean that's still an asset a person can have on their
00:27:37.100books as well right like if you were going to leverage for another purchase somewhere else or
00:27:41.360things like that I mean it's not lost and then uh you know I mean it's not lost but it's in that
00:27:46.300it's not tied up uh out of the country I mean you can still utilize no our program is amazing
00:27:51.300actually you can buy and sell on on a well we say on a phone call usually we do deal with a lot of
00:27:57.640email and and the things these days but um it's liquid in all global markets so it can be bought
00:28:02.780and sold anytime and even better is um just by having the the gold and silver uh you have an
00:28:09.500automatic 80 percent line of credit against your holdings and when i was learning about this years
00:28:15.600ago, I was surprised to realize that a lot of the autonomy of the major players that control our
00:28:21.860globe, they're not beholden to governments or things because they actually have vast amounts
00:28:28.600of gold and the gold then becomes their bank. So they borrow off their holdings. And that's what
00:28:34.080we do in a micro way is that exact same thing. Yeah. And that's kind of what I meant. You know,
00:28:39.360it's a little harder. You're talking to the bank, secure credit. Okay. Well, I got these mutual
00:28:42.580funds, these RRSPs, but I mean, they prefer secured credit. I mean, some sort of assets
00:28:46.500that theoretically, if you default or they can get. And there's nothing that's harder and more
00:28:51.960real than saying I have X number of ounces of gold. Yeah. Right. And it's completely liquid
00:28:57.140for sale at any time. So yes, we get clients that come in and say, Hey, I need a workup on my
00:29:02.620account because I'm applying for this or that. Okay. So as far as clients go, you guys offer
00:29:08.120services across the country, like you're, you're Calgary based, but it's a national company.
00:29:14.300Yeah, we do have clients across Canada. We have, we have some clients down in the U.S. and we have
00:29:19.800some international clients as well. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, do you have a physical office? I mean,
00:29:25.060it's just kind of the new world and, and things, you know, I'm just talking to, it's one of the
00:29:28.240things too, when it comes to investment, you know, you want to talk to a person, you want to,
00:29:32.860you know, you need that help. I mean, you guys are available for that sort of thing.
00:29:35.820Yeah, you bet. Our office is just on 17th Avenue here in Calgary and where we appreciate and love when people want to come visit us there. And also we have a broker team where they work from all over the place. So we deal with online presentations, in-person presentations, whatever people's comfort level is.
00:29:58.440You know, I mean, a person can go out, I guess you could find somewhere and actually just buy some gold if you want it.
00:30:02.780But it's not really a planned investment or portfolio or means to hold it.
00:30:07.280But at the same time, if you've got a service, I don't want to phone and say, yeah, we'll put you through to the call center of somebody on the other side of the planet who's giving you chat GPT.
00:30:13.840Yeah, no, no, actually, I think that's where we excel is, you know, the feedback we've had from our clients and customers is very personalized service.
00:30:23.220education is the main thing and going above and beyond to make sure people are happy with their
00:30:28.920with their portfolios and how much silver how much gold they have and yeah personalized and the time
00:30:36.420goes fast there's a lot to cover on it I understand that and I know but I mean that's the thing is it
00:30:40.580people want to ask more questions they want to follow up they want to diversify their portfolio
00:30:45.060and I think with looking at things these days you know something as solid as a precious metal is a
00:30:49.440way to go is as you said it's withstood for thousands of years where do they find you guys
00:30:53.340what can they do for sure um well people can um can can uh you know email us my my email address
00:31:05.140is kris at newworldpm.com or people can give us a call our office number is 1-888-342-0190
00:31:18.460Okay, so a newworldpm.com, so newworldpreciousmetals.com.
00:31:21.920I mean, that's the way of it now, too.
00:31:23.220People don't even type that off and just search out new world precious metals.
00:35:18.640You know, it's not trolling any longer.
00:35:21.760It's a man talking about taking over our country.
00:35:23.660years ago those were words of war you don't uh uh well here's you know a comment or i'll read it
00:35:31.660out your comment about trump repeating us becoming a 51st state over and over have you noticed that
00:35:35.720trump repeats statements over and over in his previous now it doesn't mean that he had a chance
00:35:38.940to do it uh he has a way of negotiating that escapes the competing in the mentality i'm not
00:35:44.140quite sure what that all means i'm not going to make exceptions for the man he's supposed to be
00:35:49.040acting like a president, not a troll. And his mannerism is to say something over and over and
00:35:53.500over again. Well, no, he's adding little images. He was asked at a conference. And that was not
00:36:00.540just a little statement. That was him saying, we will take Canada through economic means.
00:36:10.120I'm tired of people saying, well, he's just kidding. No, until he says he's just kidding,
00:36:13.840we've got to take it seriously. And this little fantasy thing, thinking there would be some
00:36:18.920sort of open merger and we'd all be better off as American citizens is stupid, to be blunt.
00:36:24.020Maybe that time will come. But you know, if that time came, the way we'd have to do it is making
00:36:29.660our relationship closer. This is a marriage that's going to take some years. One of the things that
00:36:35.980he has talked about is, well, we've got to clean up our act in Canada with the border crossing back
00:36:40.520and forth between the United States and Canada. Fair enough. Absolutely. We've got a lot of other
00:36:44.820stupid things. We've got our stupid supply management. We've got a lot of trade issues
00:36:48.600we should be ironing out. One of our issues with Canada is we've been bringing in immigrants with1.00
00:36:54.240the floodgates wide open and some of the odious, terrible immigrants, because some of them are,1.00
00:36:58.700and there's some fantastic ones, but a lot of the problematic ones have been going south.
00:37:02.240And I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I remember looking those up for a call on my road
00:37:05.040a little while ago. And because the people kept saying, oh, there's barely any illegals going from
00:37:09.240Canada to the States versus Mexico to Canada. Yeah, I know, but it's the quality of the illegals1.00
00:37:13.380going south. And of, I think, 700 and some identified terrorists who'd gotten into the
00:37:20.440United States or suspected terrorists, something like 87% of them got in there through Canada,
00:37:26.540not Mexico. And, I mean, we got to worry about terrorists. I mean, you know, the New Orleans
00:37:34.220massacre, that terrible act, was done by a born American. But these radicals can come from all0.88
00:37:40.480over. You'll never totally stomp it up, but you'll want to reduce it. Well, where's the biggest source
00:37:43.880of those coming in the United States? Unfortunately, it's Canada. People say, well, it's only a few
00:37:47.100hundred. Yeah, well, look at the amount of damage one lunatic did. What does a few hundred radical
00:37:52.940lunatics do? See, these are the issues we need to seriously discuss. These are the things we need
00:37:57.040leadership to be going back and forth and having these conversations. But it's hard to have that
00:38:03.120Again, when we've got a lame duck prime minister who nobody takes seriously and a president who is insistent on constantly poking at him, Elon Musk.
00:38:16.180I mean, I laughed at first and I still kind of laugh at the poking.
00:38:19.240I mean, I'm an online, you know, rough player on X and everything, but there's serious ramifications to this thing on what's going on.
00:38:26.140We got to get serious with these things.
00:39:20.700and you know you you could tell um you can tell
00:39:26.220he still doesn't realize he did anything wrong he's a pure true narcissist he was talking about
00:39:34.920it's the infighting of those liberals that caused this and i i was gonna solve everything but you
00:39:39.340know i've been pushed out he's still ticked off he's been pushed out unfortunately this guy
00:39:43.240is gonna be as far as we could tell sitting in the prime minister's chair for a few more months
00:39:49.000these critical months. I mean, Trump has shaken things up this much, and he's not even officially
00:39:54.580the president for 12 more days. So we've got to be more careful in looking at and dismissing some
00:40:02.200of the stuff that he's saying. Because, you know, even if he's not coming in to take things over,
00:40:08.900he's shaking things up so badly. We're rocked on our heels. People talk about it as a negotiating
00:40:12.580tactic. Fine. Well, let's negotiate back. We've got to show some strength on our side and we
00:40:19.840don't have it. We don't have it at all. It's frightening. I mean, but nobody's there to get
00:40:26.740this country under control. This is a discussion that's been going online. Jared, our BC reporter,
00:40:32.580Jagger, he's been tracking that in Mississauga of all places though. These lunatics out there,
00:40:38.840radical Islamists. Again, we're not talking about all Muslims, we're talking about radical Islamists.
00:40:42.740I know we can do the whole discussion on whether there's such a thing as a moderate Muslim, blah, blah, blah. I don't want to go into that.
00:40:46.480Let's just talk about the real, true wackos among them, because there's a number of them, and there's a lot.
00:40:50.240And they put out a release, because they're going to hold them, they're trying to hold a meeting, but they're having trouble signing a venue now,
00:40:55.240to form a caliphate. What this is, it's a Muslim concept, an Islamist concept, of a theocracy, of a religious holy land.
00:41:05.460they want to form it in Canada, one where we would suddenly be under the laws of Sharia law.
00:41:11.160You know, let's put the burkas on the woman. Let's whip them to death if they're cheating.1.00
00:41:16.820You know, stonings, throwing gay people off buildings. And it's not exaggeration anymore.1.00
00:41:21.360These things happen. Let's quit sugarcoating that crap. They do. They happen all over the Middle
00:41:26.380East. They've built quite a reputation through their actions over many, many years. So why
00:41:33.740shouldn't the Americans be concerned about this when we're pouring millions of immigrants don't1.00
00:41:40.560seem to be taking it under control and we're actually considering it's free speech for these
00:41:46.900lunatics to want to form a caliphate in Canada yeah we've got some crap to get together again
00:41:53.740so rather than Trudeau having somebody on his behalf put out an x statement saying it'll be a
00:41:59.580whole day on hell before Canada becomes 51st state blah blah he should be standing up and saying we've
00:42:03.420got radicals in Canada and we gotta get them out we've got to stomp this out that's not what we're
00:42:10.080about and uh you know the other aspect of this whole thing and yes I'm gonna lay a lot of blame
00:42:18.440on Trudeau I love doing that I'm certainly never been a fan of his have I but look at the attitude
00:42:23.920we've had among Canada for years now. We're settlers. We're colonialist. Let's do land
00:42:30.520acknowledgements at every event. Let's have radio stations do land acknowledgements. Let's pretend
00:42:35.540we don't even belong here. We're beholden to some people who died 300 freaking years ago,
00:42:40.380and it's our fault. We should feel bad about it. We should stare at our shoes. We shouldn't be proud
00:42:44.540to be Canadians. John A. McDonald's an asshole. His statue should be torn down. Gee, I wonder why
00:42:51.640suddenly we have as many as 20 or 30 percent of people thinking, I don't care if we become
00:42:55.900American. Yes, because Trudeau created that post-national state. He created a country where
00:43:01.620nobody cares if they're Canadian anymore. They might not want to be American, but they don't1.00
00:43:05.580even know what they are anymore. Land acknowledgements. What a joke. I know the land. It's
00:43:10.360here. I'm on it now, and I've got a deed for the stuff I own. I owe a fair amount on it, too.
00:43:16.420This is the environment that he created. Look at the loony lefties who put right in their profile,
00:43:20.920I'm a settler oh yeah I was born in Airdrie well then you weren't a settler you moron you're an
00:43:26.040idiot you're self-loathing you jump on stupid trendy things but you weren't a settler well my0.97
00:43:32.600ancestors were well so what to go far enough back my ancestors were running around in caves swinging
00:43:37.920clubs it doesn't matter today and if we want to keep hanging up on that sort of thing gee I wonder
00:43:43.820why we don't have any national unity I wonder why we don't have pride post-national world yeah it
00:43:50.900sure is, isn't it? Good work, frigging dingbat. And you know what? I'll leave off on that before
00:43:56.760I take off. Legacy Media, it's dying, and I'm loving watching them die. That's where I did
00:44:01.920like seeing the success of Polly Evan Trump, where they bypassed Legacy Media and did it so,
00:44:07.080so well. And I mean, as I was scrolling through, you know, saying, what stories do I want to focus
00:44:11.100on today? I can see here, it keeps popping up, and they're talking about the bird flu.
