To learn more. Call (800) 702-2212 or visit Real Gold. That's real gold. Now here's your host, Walt Philips.
All right, all right, all right. And welcome to The Gold Show, folks. I am the best host in the entire world, Walt Philips. And I'm so excited to be here with you today, folks. Remember, you call 1-800-702-2212. That is the number for my great friends who are sponsoring this very show at the Reagan Gold Group. Again, that's 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com com and you can take the personalized quiz over there, fill out a few questions and somebody will get right back to you. And boy folks, do I have a show to unpack with you today? Because there is so much going on in this world. Before we even get into that, do you hear the happiness in my voice right now? Do you hear the happiness in my voice? And it's for two reasons. One, because I have some amazing things to tell you about metals today.
But two I'm born and raised in New York Giants fan, and as of last week, the New York Giants are now a winning football team again. Under coach John Harbaugh, who I love, thank you, coach John Harbaugh. We actually look like a football team. We played the Dallas Cowboys and we won. We played the Dallas Cowboys at home and we one. And it was an amazing thing to see because the Giants as a story of a franchise as they are. They have been in a dumpster fire for a decade.
So I am happy and I'm looking forward to seeing them win again. But folks, listen, let's pivot to metals a second, because right now today's show is about opportunity, opportunity, opportunity and opportunity. Because right now the window to buy gold and silver is still wide open. That's wide open. That's not half open. That's wide open. You can still get in and buy gold and silver, and you can buy gold and silver at a discounted price, because it's not going to be discounted for long.
Folks. The sale is not going to go on forever. I would love to live in a world where sales went on forever, because then I probably live in department stores, right? I go to my favorite places. I'd go to Best Buy because I love buying tech gadgets. I'd go to Macy's, I'd go to all different stores and I'd be buying different things, and my wife would kill me. Even though I don't like to shop. I'm not a shopper, she's the shopper.
But if we lived in a world where everything was on sale, boy, would I have a lot of stuff. But you know, what's the crazy thing is that metals go on sale and people don't want to buy them. People don't want to buy them. Why is that? Why is that? It doesn't make sense. If gold is on sale, wouldn't you want to buy gold when it was cheap? Wouldn't you want to buy silver when it was cheap? Because right now the experts are saying that it's about to go to the moon. Jim Rickards has gold going to $10,000. Michael Oliver has silver going to 3 to $500.
Folks, this is this year. This isn't in five years from now. This is this year. That's a huge upside. David Hunter, another respected analyst, has gold going to $10,000. He has silver going 180 $200. I could go on and on and on here. But the window is open. We're living in a land of opportunity, and the only way that you can pick up on that opportunity is if you call the Reagan Gold Group 1-800-702-2212, or you go to OwnRealGold.com again, folks, that's 1-800-702-2212. And when you call that number, you're going to speak to an amazing person. You might speak to one of the best people that you've ever spoken to in your entire life, unless you were speaking in Donald Trump, because Donald Trump would be the only person that I think you could speak to directly.
That would be a better conversation than somebody over at the Reagan Gold Group, because the people at the Reagan Gold Group know what they are doing, and they have helped so many folks, especially recently, because you folks have been listening to this show like crazy. You've been listening to this show like honeybees, and you have been calling in, you've been buying your gold, you've been buying your silver, you've been positioning yourself. And I'm so happy. I am so glad that you're calling that number, because the world is a crazy place, folks.
Let's face it, we have wars going on. We're $40 trillion plus in debt. 40 trillion. We weren't supposed to be here for another six months to a year. We were here as of about a month ago. We got to 40 trillion. How crazy is that? How crazy is that? 40 trillion. There's a crazy number on trillion, and I don't even know what it is. But it's like like I think it's like, so a 100,000 billions or I don't know what it is, make up a trillion. I don't want to say something and not and not sound good, but 1,000,000,000,000 trillion by itself is an insane number.
Now you add 39 more of them and get to $40 trillion in debt. I mean, that's crazy. Folks were living in a crazy world. Oil is through the roof. The gas prices are through the roof, the grocery stores through the roof. And our wonderful president, our wonderful president is fighting with the man that he appointed, that he appointed, who you think would listen to him and want to do what the president wanted him to do, but instead he wants to raise rates in this country, which isn't helping anybody at home. And let's face it, folks, this dollar is cooked. The dollar is a silent robbery. It's a currency that is failing. It is lost 97% of its value. I was crunching some numbers the other day, and if you would have bought 50oz of gold five years ago, I think it would have cost $88,000. Right. Follow me here, folks. Follow me. Five years ago, if you would have bought 50oz of gold, it would have been $88,000.
And with that same $88,000 today, you'd only be able to buy 20oz of gold. Why is that? It's because the dollar keeps losing its value and gold keeps going up. Silver keeps going up. So are you going to let the dollars that you work your little touches off for your behinds off for that? You put in those blood, sweat and tears? Are you going to let those dollars go to waste? Because that doesn't sound right to me. The math doesn't add up to me. You're going to lose all that percent of your money and your savings account. For what? For what?
But when you put it in gold and silver, it appreciates it appreciates that same figure I just told you about that $88,000. If you would have bought $88,000 worth of gold five years ago, today, it would be worth $217,000, folks, $217,000. That's almost $130,000 in profit in just five years from that gold. That is the power of gold. And you know what? If you would have taken that $88,000 and left it in cash, you'd still have $88,000, so you wouldn't have any money. And that's why I need you folks to call that number one 807 022212 1-800-702-2212. Because that is the number that is salvation, that is the number that is going to help you get answers to the questions that I know you're all thinking about. And it's not because you're listening to me. Well, it is because I'm a pretty great guy and I know you folks at home. You're you're liking me. You're warming up to me. I hear it when you guys are calling in.
Everyone at the Reagan Gold Group was telling me, folks, they say I was listening to Walt, and he said this, and he said that, and and it's music to my ears when I hear that, because a lot of you folks are making the switch. And my goal in life, I'm a man on a mission right now, I want to, I want to this is my mission, folks. I'm going to say it out loud. I want to help every senior in this entire country if I can, which I will, because I'm I'm determined.
I want to help them get into gold and silver, because there is no way that any senior should be living in this country, in the state that it's in right now and have their money in dollars. They just shouldn't. They just shouldn't. I wouldn't let it happen to my own mother. I talk about it all the time. Carl, who's on the show with me in after the break? He'll be he'll be with us. He's coming into the studio. He helped move her into precious metal. She hasn't worried a day since. And that is the beautiful thing about it.
So folks make the call. It could be the most important call that you ever make. And, you know, let's pivot here, folks, because the analysts who I was talking about, the most brilliant minds in the country, they're all saying the same thing. They all have these amazing predictions. It's not only analysts, it's the banks to it's everyone. Everyone is saying whether it's banks, whether it's analysts, they're all saying the same thing. Gold and silver are headed towards a parabolic move. They're headed towards a crazy, crazy move. And I want you folks to be here for that move.
But they're making crazy calls, you know, and I know I shouldn't use the word crazy because it sounds crazy, but it's realistic. Back in January, let's let's let's let's go all the way back to the beginning of this year. Silver alone in 29 days, move $50. It moved $50 in 29 days, it moved $50. Our president, Donald Trump, all you folks at home, if you listen regular. You know I love Donald Trump. I'm probably one of the biggest Donald Trump fans that you'll ever meet. Donald Trump is in precious metals. Trump has Trump coins. He's in precious metals. He he he he he is a big advocate of gold and silver. Huge. And at the end of the day, the best thing that you can do in life is protect yourself, right? You have insurance on your car in case you get into an accident. You have insurance on your house in case there's a fire. You have insurance on your life.
God forbid folks, God forbid if something were to happen, but you have insurance on that to right? You have insurance on everything that is near and dear to you. So what is going to help you ensure your own security, your own money? And that is gold and silver. Gold and silver is not a get rich quick scheme. Gold and silver isn't something where you buy it on a Tuesday and you flip it on a week later and you're making millions of dollars.
But gold and silver is what's going to give you that nest egg. It's what's going to give you that, that that feeling of security at night. If you're listening to this and you're worried about your future, it's something that you think about. Gold and silver helps take those worries away, because gold and silver has been around for 5000 years. You ever watch those historical movies? I'm sure you all have. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies ever. Gold and silver is in Gladiator. I'm almost positive it is on Game of Thrones. On any historical show that you look at when they go to pay for something, well, Game of Thrones might not be the best example because Game of Thrones is more like fantasy, but still, it's meant to be a long, long time ago, thousands of years ago.
But all the shows that you watch on TV, they're not trading in dollars. You want to know why? Because there was no such thing as a dollar wasn't invented yet. Right. And all the shows that you watched, the trading in gold and silver, whether it's in the early 1900s, the 1800s, or whether it was 1000 years, whether it was ancient Egyptians, you see gold and silver, because that's how long it's been around. That's what you put your faith in. You put your faith in something that's been around forever. You don't put your faith in something that's that's not doing well. It's only been around for a little while. And listen, folks, I don't want to seem like I'm badmouthing the country. No one loves America more than me.
But at the same time, I can see when a ship is sinking. I can see it. And right now, gold and silver is going to preserve that. So you need to call that number 1-800-702-2212 and ask the questions you need to ask. Don't be afraid to ask either. You can also go to OwnRealGold.com. And folks, you do not need to know everything about metals. You don't need to be shy about calling. You don't have to feel like, oh man, if I call in today, I don't know what I'm going to say because I don't really know that much about gold and silver yet. That's okay. That's what the folks at the Reagan Gold Group are for. They're there to help you, there to educate you. They're there to guide you. If you have a if you have a 401, if you have an IRA, you probably qualify for a rollover. And the cool thing is that it's completely tax free. It's a tax free event.
I have folks all the time that say, Walt, I would love to get into gold and silver, but all I have is a 401. I was a federal worker. All I have is a tsp. All I have is an annuity. All I have is this. All I have is that. And they don't realize that you can turn that into a precious metals back to IRA. And that's the coolest thing ever. Because now you're in metals. It's a tax free event. And the folks at Reagan handle every single aspect for you. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing, folks. Like I said, I did it for my own family.
So for me, my message going back to my my mission, I want to get every senior in this country invested in gold and silver, every single one. And I know that might sound ambitious to you, but it's important because the seniors are the ones that have built the country that we've lived in today. You've built the foundation for the next generation. You've built that foundation. You've built that. You've built that country moving forward.
So right now, you should be taken care of. Right now, you shouldn't be sitting at home in your 70s, 80s, 90s and worrying about your money or worrying about your livelihood. That shouldn't be. It shouldn't. When I saw my own mother worrying every single day about the stock market, every single day with with wrinkles on the poor woman's forehead. Worrying, worrying, worrying, worrying. One day I said, mom, what are you worrying about? She was worried because she didn't know what was going on with her money. She did not know. And gold and silver will never tell you a million different stories. It tells you one straight up story. And that story is, is that you can count on it. You can count on gold and silver, folks. Again, that number get somebody right now. Right now as I'm speaking 1-800-702-2212. Again that's 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. You take a three minute quiz and somebody will call you.
Now folks, listen, we don't have a lot of time left before the break, but I want to talk about silver for a minute, because silver and I don't think I've ever told you folks at home this before. I love both gold and silver, but silver I especially love. And do you want to know why? Because silver, in my opinion, in my humble opinion, folks, is the most undervalued asset on this entire planet. And you folks might be like, well, how could you say that? How could you say on the entire planet, are you crazy? Maybe I am crazy, but it is the most undervalued asset on this entire planet. And I'm going to tell you why. Because right now, folks, we live in the information age. 2026 is the information age. And it might be a little bit scary because it's AI, it's solar, it's it's electric vehicles.
And do you know what the information age is powered by silver AI data centers, which is a multi, multi, multibillion dollar build out right now in the trillions. I believe the entire thing is built by Silver Electric Vehicles, Tesla, all of it, all the batteries that run them, all the components that make up the cars. It's all made from silver solar panels which everything all the light, all electricity. It's almost solar. It's all made from silver. And you want to know the crazy things, folks. Silver. Silver is it's been hovering around 60 or $70 back in January. It went up to $121 an ounce, and then it came back down.
But right now we're poised for another parabolic move. And this time it's not going to go to 121, where the analysts are saying it's going way higher than that. And there is a huge, huge, huge opportunity in silver. Huge. And it is a beautiful medal on top of it. I don't know about you folks, but I like to wear some jewelry here and there. Maybe a nice little chain, a ring, a bracelet. But silver is beautiful. Gold is even more beautiful. I mean, I love gold, I love it, I love it, but isn't that cool that you can have metal that that that you can get you can wear it, you can store it. You can do everything with it. That's the coolest thing about these metals. I mean, you can't wear a bracelet made out of a dollar. I mean, I guess you could, but you might look a little bit ridiculous, right?
If you went out to dinner with your wife, or you went out to dinner with your husband, and you're wearing a necklace made out a dollar bills, or you're wearing a bracelet made out of dollar bills, it would look a little bit crazy, right? But, folks, silver, there's a huge opportunity in gold as well. Gold is is one of the biggest opportunities ever right now is well, gold is not undervalued. But but it is. It's not a valued in comparison to silver.
But but gold is I mean we ain't seen nothing yet to where gold is headed right now. Gold is headed for a moonshot a moonshot. And folks, that's why I get so animated on here. That's why I get so crazy on here. And that's why every single week I'm back on the radio and I'm always saying, folks get into gold and silver, get into gold and silver, and I'm not going to stop because it's such an amazing opportunity. And it's also a way to feel secure, a way to feel secure. I'm in gold and silver. Personally. I don't preach anything that I don't practice. My whole family is in gold and silver because I made sure that they are.
My friends at the Reagan Gold Group are the ones that can make that happen for you. So again, folks, one last time, that number is 1-800-702-2212. Again 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com if you're not a phone person, if you're still a little shy, even after I'm saying all these things about how wonderful the people are. Reagan. Let's face it, folks, some people don't like to talk on the phone, or they might need to build up the courage.
So they might want to take that quiz. You go to that quiz, you fill out a few questions and somebody will give you a call back. But folks, do not wait. Do not wait. Don't wait. Pick up that phone today. I promise you, the people on the other end, that Reagan Gold Group are not going to bite. They're not going to bite. I promise you, they're not going to yell. They're not going to scream. They're not going to say a bunch of things you don't understand. And if they do say something you don't understand, you tell them, listen, explain it again. You can ask them 12 questions. You can ask them 30 questions. You can ask them 50 questions. And they will keep answering them until you feel comfortable, until you have no everything that you know. And you tell them that Walt sent you. You tell them that Walt told you to do that, to ask as many questions as you like. And, folks, I want you to take that leap. I want you to make the call.
Trust me, I do. I get so happy every single week when Carl and Team tell me all the people that are calling in, all the people that they're helping, all the people that are mentioning my name and saying that they're listening to this show. And with that, folks, that's all the time we have until we got we have to take a break here, I think. Yeah, we have to take a break here in a minute. But coming up next, folks, after these messages, I have Carl on the show. We're going to talk about a lot together. I'm going to ask him for his opinion on things, as I always do. And we're going to see what Carl has to say from the Reagan side. We're going to see about the calls that he's been taking. We're going to see what his opinion is on the state of this world. And with that, folks, I am Walt Philips, and we'll be right back after this break. And welcome back to The Gold Show, folks.
I am your favorite host, Walt Philips, and thank you for joining us back after the break. And folks, we talked about a lot in segment one. And Boyle. Boyle boy, do I have an amazing segment two for you because my best friend and my confidant and the man that I talked to everyday folks, I swear I'm not in any bromance. But Carl was with me today on the show as usual, and I'm excited to talk to Carl as always, because he gives you folks the best insight and you get it straight from the horse's mouth, not from the cows mouth, not from your wife's mouth or your husband's mouth, but from Carl's mouth. And that is a golden mouth. So without further ado, Carl, thank you so much for joining me again. How are you, man?
I'm good, buddy, I'm good. I would say our wife's probably would call this a bit of a bromance, so.
But I think you're right. I think you're right. Yeah. My my wife said the same thing. Carl, this might be a bromance. Jeez, Carl, we got a lot going on in this world that we live in, We have a lot going on and.
A ton going on right now, and it's definitely a time for everybody to really take notice. I mean, I I've seen some really interesting things. I mean, I, I woke up this morning and the number one topic that popped up on Google for me and the search engine was stock market crash.
Yeah, yeah. It's listen, there's talk about a stock market crash. There's talks of everything crashing right now because we're $40 trillion in debt. You know, everything is going belly up. A gold reevaluation needs to happen. Our president our amazing president was, you know, talking about revealing everything in Fort Knox. I think he started talking about it over the summer. But that needs to happen because right now, Carl, the only thing left in this world that I believe in right now are gold and silver, because they're both headed towards a parabolic move right now. And the cool thing for everyone listening at home is that you haven't missed the boat, you haven't missed the window yet, and you can still get in. And Carl, I know you've been busy as heck. You've been busier than my wife on a Sunday night cooking dinner with getting all the calls that you've been getting. How's that been going, man? What are people saying?
People are scared. I mean, I think people the indecision and the fact that there's so much, you know, so many unknown factors right now are what are really causing people to pause. I mean, people are going, okay, wait, what do I do here? I want to retire. I want to make sure my money's there. I don't want to be working till I'm 80. And, you know, people are very scared. I mean, listen, a lot of people lost in weight, and there's a lot of similarities to what's going on now to 2008. And that's why so many folks are calling in. They just want to protect. I mean, no way. Gold and silver both went up, you know, triple digits, you know, multiple triple digits. And people, you know, they really believe that's going to happen again. And so do I. I mean, there's so much data to support that and so much information out there talking about the growth potential. And the reality of it is, is either you got to get on the train and protect what you have or unfortunately, get left behind. And that's really what I'm hearing from people on the phone. They're just like, listen, I don't want to get left behind. I can't afford to get left behind. And that's really the bigger thing is because unfortunately, none of us are getting any younger. So what do you do?
What you do is what you do is, is you call the Reagan Gold Group. And folks, if you don't want to get left behind, that number to call Carl directly is 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com folks again 1-800-702-2212. And the man that you were listening to on the radio. Mr.. I call him Mr.. Half a billion. Do you want to know why I call him that, folks? Because Carl single handedly last year sold over a half $1 billion, a half a billion folks in metals to satisfied customers that are now thriving because they have their assets protected. And Carl is phenomenal. And I highly suggest not continuing to just listen to the men, but talk to him, call him, call him, speak to him. Carl is there. If he is not available, he is a huge team working underneath him.
So Carl will get back to you because, listen, he always get back to me, right? Carl, I don't I don't know if maybe I'm just special treatment, but you always get back to me. At least.
Know for sure. Listen, here's the thing. And you, first of all, thank you so much for the kind words. But the reality of it is, is I just like helping people and letting them know that they have options. You know, like I tell everybody and you'll hear me say this if we chat on the phone. This is your money, not mine. It's not Reagan gold. It's not waltz, it's yours. You just need to figure out what you want to do with it. It's not your financial advisors or, you know, your companies. It's. It's yours. And you need to be the one to protect it. Because unfortunately, things happen. Life happens. Things you know, markets move, things drop out. You need to do something to protect yourself and make sure that you have what you need to enjoy retirement, essentially. I mean, you know, $40 trillion in debt is just you can't even I don't think anybody can truly fathom what that really means. And now, Adam, the fact that, you know, the Fed's talking about raising the interest rates again, I mean, you know, which they kind of have to do, I mean, because of the position that we're in. You know, I mean, we're we're coming into a time where we're probably going to see a situation similar to the either the.com bubble or the crash. And, you know, I mean, Warren Buffett's indicator, you know, we talked about this, I don't know, a month or two ago. You know, his indicator is showing this. Markets headed for a major major major collapse.
So absolutely.
What do you do I guess the question is what do you do. Do you do you take it on the chin and wait for it to come back, or do you protect yourself and diversify into an asset that's never been at zero? Never.
And that's the biggest point, Carl. It's never been in zero. You can't print an ounce, you can't print an ounce. And folks again that number is 1-800-702-2212. Call today. Don't just listen but call. But Carl let's pivot a set because there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world. But Jim Rickards is calling for $10,000 gold by the end of the year. Michael Oliver is calling for 3 to 500 silver by the end of the year. David Hunter is calling for 180 to $250 silver and 10,000 gold by the end of the year. These are some of the most brilliant minds in metals that have been calling markets correctly for anywhere from 30 to 50 years. And, you know, I like listening to experts. I don't know about you, Carl, but, you know, I know a lot myself. But these men have been calling these markets and they've never missed. So that tells me.
Yeah, here's the thing. These guys are all smart guys, Walt. You know that?
Yeah.
These are guys. Listen, folks, I know those numbers may sound crazy. Like, oh. Gold can't do that. Silver is not going to go up that much. It can 100% sure can. I mean, and these are guys that are, you know, very well known, very level headed folks. I mean, yeah, you get people out there that throw crazy numbers out there. And, you know, there was a big people like that have been around for years. But the reality of it is, is right now we have a opportunity to a hopefully make quite a bit of money, but also protect what you have and make sure it's there when you need it. And that's what this is all about. This isn't meant to put a new Ferrari in the driveway, even though it could. This is meant to be that hedge or that insurance policy against all these factors, that.
It's a long play, Carl. It's not it's not a get rich quick scheme. And people that think about metals like that, I always tell them not to. This isn't something you're going to buy in a Wednesday, sell on a Friday and right off into the sunset. This is a 3 to 5 year play. This is a 3 to 5 year play. And this is how you build your wealth. This isn't how you give yourself an income. This is how you build your wealth and protect what you have. And I think that's a confusion that people have a lot of time, you know, they get all excited and see numbers and they're like, I'm going to put some money into gold and I'm going to put some money into silver. And in two weeks I'm going to be driving around in that Ferrari. I think you just mentioned a Ferrari, Carl. And, you know, listen it, you know, if life worked like that, that would be great. I'd love to see everyone in the world riding around in Ferraris. I know I, I personally might not go for Ferrari. I'm more of a Rolls-Royce Bentley guy if we're going that route. But but you know, that being.
Said, I mean, yeah, listen, it's about being able to preserve, grow and protect. That's it. Three things preserve, grow, protect. And that's what we're doing here. I mean, it's it's that simple. That's why gold and silver have been around for as long as they have been and why they'll continue to be around. I mean, it's that simple. It's it's about giving yourself an opportunity to make sure all that hard work, all those years of, you know, working in the factory or waiting tables or, you know, being, you know, the keyboard in an office all pays off. You know, you you did this for a reason. You saved that money for a reason, so you could enjoy it in your retirement and not work till you die. And really, what it comes down to is putting yourself in a position that you know you have the ability to, you know, relax and retire comfortably. I mean, that's really what it comes down to. I mean, the number of calls I've gotten in the past couple of weeks has been a lot. I mean, it's astronomical. I, you know, been talking on the phone at awful lot. And that's why my voice may be a little scratchy today, folks. So I apologize as him, not my normal self. But, you know, I've been talking to so many people. What it comes down to is putting yourself in a position where you could just kind of sit back and relax and pop the popcorn. I mean, essentially, and with what we have going on right now, I mean, this is just the time to really make that move. You know, don't be scared to do it. I mean, I get people all the time say, well, I don't know anything about gold and silver. And I say, wonderful. Do you know any everything there is to know about the stock market? And they all know. Well, exactly. I mean, metals are a boring, conservative, safe haven investment. That's how people look at them. I hear those words used from customers all the time. So what's the what's the deal here? You get yourself into a boring, conservative safe haven investment that's never been at zero. That has continued to grow. Yeah, there's up yours and down yours. It's like anything. It's a commodity. But like you were just saying 3 to 5 years. Yeah. Most people hold their metals that long. Some hold them even longer.
Yeah. And listen, folks, like Carl said, you don't need to know everything about metals. All you need to know is that you need to call 1-800-702-2212, because that is the number that is going to connect you with Carl. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. If you're not a phone person, you can go there. You fill out a few simple questions on that little gold quiz that we have prepared for you, and you get a call right away.
Now, now, Carl, I want to tell a little story. I'm going to tell a little story here. And this story is actually about you. And I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I got to tell this story. Folks, I've said this before, but I haven't said it in a while. And when I first met Carl, way back when my mom, my my dear, dear mother, who I loved to death, was heavily, heavily, heavily invested in the stock market. She had annuity, she had IRAs. And Carl was telling me way back when, Walt, you should get your mom into gold and silver. And I talked to her about it and she didn't want to do it. She did not want to do it. Fast forward 8 or 9 years, and my mom's up there. She's up there. I caught her worrying and I would see her staring at her phone, and I didn't know what she was looking at. And one day I grabbed her phone folks, and I saw her trying to figure out the stock market app, and she had this stressed out look on her face.
I asked her what was going on and she said she didn't know. He didn't understand what was even going on because someone, a financial advisor, was handling her money that she had never met before, and she didn't even know what she was invested in. And at that point I told her, we need to call my friend Carl. And she finally listened. And folks, Carl got on the phone with her and helped her. In two hours. I stayed out of it. I stayed out of it because that's how much I trust Carl. That I just stayed out of it with my own mother's personal wealth. Everything that she's had in her 83 years on this planet, everything. That's how much I trust Carl. And he was successfully able to move the majority of her wealth over into precious metals in a bunch of different programs that Carl had going on. And I have not seen my mother stress a day since a day since. And that is why Carl's with me every single week on this show.
And that is why I always tell you to please call him at 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to Goal.com. Because that help and that peace of mind that he gave to my mother, I feel like every single person that listens to this show, that tunes in to us every single week, day in and day out, should be able to have that same experience. Now, Carl, I just talked about you like you weren't here for about four minutes. So I'm going to let you respond to that. I know it might have been kind of weird, but I had to tell that story. Carl.
No, listen, I appreciate the kind words, like I said, I mean, listen, it's about helping people, letting people know that they have options and making them, you know, answering those questions, taking your time and making sure that all the options are very clear and laid out. That's really the most important thing, is making sure all the options are laid out. Because this is your money. It's not Mike. So you choose what you want to do, you know, I mean, like you were starting to say before and I was a child, I was going to say, listen, you could go online, you could call us. We're here to answer questions. We're here to get you information. There's no pressure. Do this at your own pace and we make it happen, you know? But at the same time, you also don't want to sit at it in forever because we're watching markets move. And you know, again another down day in the equities market. So you know, why not put yourself in a position to lift yourself up and have at least some stability and not be on that roller coaster? I mean, people all the time telling me they just can't handle the up and downs of the markets. I mean, and I get it. I mean, I.
I mean, Carl also.
Your mom's biggest thing. Your mom. Yeah. Biggest fear was literally like you said she was. And I don't know if I've ever told you this, but she told me she would look.
At it. No, you actually never told me anything about it. I I've actually purposely stayed away from it. Yeah.
No, I know that. But she literally said she would look at her phone 5 or 6 times a day to look at the markets and see what her accounts were doing. And that's no way to live. You know, metals are set it and forget a kind of investment. You get it, you put it in there and sit back and relax and know that it's there. It's kind of your ace in the hole or, you know, whatever you want to call it. But it's just definitely your ability to protect yourself and make sure you know, you know what what you have going on. I mean, listen, the forecast for metals right now are so astronomical to me. It's just it's mind boggling how people are even waiting. I mean, it's just, you know, I don't see many people in the market talking about how great the stock market's going to be. I mean, like I said, I woke up the Googles morning first thing on there was stock market crash. I mean that's what people are looking up. And that's where there's a ton of there was a tremendous amount of articles about that. So I mean, they have the ability to not have to worry about that. I mean, come on, that's I don't know, I to me, that would be, you know, something that I would very, very seriously look at to know I have something to just kind of set it, forget it and not have to stress out daily. That's just, you know. Yeah. My opinion and what I hear from folks all the time.
Absolutely. And again, folks, I'm going to say it again, I'm not going to stop saying it. But that number is 1-800-702-2212. Again 1-800-702-2212. And folks, let me ask you a question okay. And I'm speaking to you directly at home. Now let's say you had a friend and that friend was severely in debt. I was going to say, let's say that friend was $40 trillion in debt. But if you had a friend that was $40 trillion in debt, I don't know if he'd be alive.
Let's say you had a friend that was $40,000 in debt, or $400,000 in debt, and he owed money to everybody, and he wasn't sure about himself. And every single day he told you a different story. How much faith would you put in that friend? Because that's exactly what this country is doing. It's $40 trillion in debt every single day. It's telling us a different story. Why are you putting your faith in that? Why are you putting your faith in that monetary system that's in debt? The same way you wouldn't put your faith in a friend that was $400,000 in debt asking you to invest in a business. You would think he was crazy. You'd say, I'm not going to do that. You're 40 $400,000 in debt in every single day. You tell me a different thing. I'm not going to invest in you. I'm not doing that.
But if you had another friend that was solid, that had been solid your entire life, that had never zeroed out, that had never told you a lie, that had never done that, it was always just there in rock solid. Of course you did invest in that. And that's your big pile of gold and silver. That's the friend that's never gone away. That's the friend that's seen every crisis through to its end and nothing has ever happened.
So again, folks, we only have a few minutes left here on the show. But that number to get Carl 1-800-702-2212. That could be the most important call that you make. And Carl will take that time and be with you and walk you through everything. You don't have to worry. You can ask him all the questions you want.
No question is stupid, folks. Seriously, this is what we're here for. We're here. I'm here for education. I'm here to make sure you know what's available to you, to make a decision that you're comfortable with. You know? I mean, and, you know, unfortunately, once again, there's people out there that are just, you know, spreading false information and, you know, other people that are on the radio you need to be careful of because of the nonsense that they're spewing and what have you. So make sure you're working with a reputable company and a company that you know has your best interests at heart and really is going to protect you. You know, I mean, there's a reason why I've had the successes I've had. And, you know, I very big and believe in it calmly. You treat people the way you want to be treated, and it works out for everybody. And, you know, there's a reason why we have the reputation that we have here at Reagan Gold. I mean, it's a great company. Fair with folks, does a great job. Everything works out really well for everybody. So it this is really a opportunity I encourage people not to pass up. Really. You can't afford to pass this opportunity up. Reason being is we we're providing a service that not everybody has access to and that, you know, a lot of people aren't going to even tell you about. And that's really the sad part, because, you know, a lot of these companies don't sell metal, so they're never going to tell you about it. Here at Reagan, I, I don't tell you to not invest in other things. I mean, it's real simple. You need to have diversity. You know, if you called me and told me, hey, I want to put everything in gold and silver, I tell you. Well, I don't know if that's right. And if anybody's telling you to put everything in the gold and silver. I mean, come on, you don't want all your eggs in one basket. And I know there's people out there spewing that, you know, put everything in a gold and silver. Hurry up. Do it now. Come on, folks. Common sense. You know, give us a call and let us help you. I mean, that's really what it's about. Give us a call.
