Walt Philips

And welcome back to The Gold Show, folks. I am your host, Walt Philips. And this broadcast is brought to you by my wonderful friends at the Reagan Gold Group. Now, folks, before we get started, as always, I want you to pull out a pen, a pencil, a marker, whatever you got on you. And I want you to jot this number down 1-800-702-2212. Again, that's 1-800-702-2212. And a big surprise, folks. We have a new URL this week. And it's going to be a New York moving forward. And that is OwnRealGold.com, OwnRealGold.com. And that is if you are not a phone person and you'd like to contact the Reagan Gold Group, you can fill out a questionnaire there really quickly and somebody will be in touch with you folks, I want to do something a little different today.

Most weeks I bring you 3 or 4 different stories of forecast here or supply number there, and there's nothing wrong with that. But today I want to sit with one idea for the entire show because I think it earns that kind of attention. I want to talk about exactly where we stand right now in July of 2026, and why I believe that this specific moment is the one folks are going to look back on. Here's the idea in one sentence. We're living in the information age, and the informational age runs on metals, not on promises, not on a balance sheet, somewhere on actual physical gold and silver. And the fundamentals behind that idea have never, not ever in my career have been stronger than they are right now. And I'm going to walk you through why I believe that.

I'm going to tell you a little bit about my own story. And by the end of this hour, folks, I want you to understand exactly why waiting any longer right now is the single most expensive mistake that you can make. All right, so let's start with where the country actually stands right now because you need this kind of backdrop before anything else I tell you today will make sense. Earlier this month, this country celebrated its 250th birthday. About a week or so ago, 250 years, folks, 250 years old. This nation has survived a civil war, two world wars, the Great Depression, and more currency crisis than most folks can even remember. And through every one of those moments, one thing has held true. The dollar in your pocket changed in value sometimes a lot.

But gold never stopped being gold. I want to remind you of one of those moments specifically, back in the 1970s, this country lived through some of the worst inflation in its history. It took Paul Volcker at the Federal Reserve, jacking interest rates into the high teens just to choke it back down. And it came with a rough recession before things got any better. Meanwhile, gold went from around $35 an ounce at the start of that decade to well over $800 by 1980. That's not a coincidence, folks. That's what happens to a hard asset while a currency is losing its grip. Now, here's where we sit today. This country is carrying a national debt that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. And the Federal Reserve is caught in nearly the same bind that Volcker was trying to keep inflation in check without triggering a recession on their own watch.

And just this past month, we got a live demonstration of how fragile that balancing act has become. Going into June, the market had priced in roughly a 75% chance that the fed would raise interest rates. Then the June jobs report just came in, which was the weakest hiring number in years, and those odds fell to basically a coin flip overnight. That kind of whiplash is exactly why gold pulled back more than 20% from its record high earlier this year, and it's exactly why it's roaring back this week. One government report moved the entire direction of monetary policy in the world's largest economy. That's not a stable system, folks. That's a system being run on reactions and not certainty. And every single time uncertainty like that shows up.

Every time the fed looks cornered, every time a jobs number wobbles, every time the debt conversation gets louder. In Washington, gold and silver do the same thing they've done for thousands of years. They get bid up because when paper promises get shaky, people go looking for something real to hold on to. And that's the backdrop. Now, let me tell you why I believe this exact moment is different from every other moment that I've ever talked about on this show. So I got into precious metals about two decades ago, and I'll be honest with you folks, it wasn't obvious at the time. There was no AI boom. Nobody was talking about data centers or robotics or anything. I'm about to tell you today. If anything, there was more skepticism about precious metals back then than there is now. Plenty of folks told me I was being overly cautious.

Some said I was putting money into something that just sits there and does nothing, but I. I made a decision back then that I thanked my lucky stars for every single day since. I decided that no matter what story Wall Street was telling that particular year, that I was going to keep a portion of what I had in something physical, something that existed outside of anybody's ledger, anybody's promise and anybody's spreadsheet. And I bring this up not to talk about myself here, folks, but because a lot of you listening right now are standing exactly where I stood 20 years ago. You're not sure if this is the right moment? You've got other priorities pulling at you right now. Maybe you're skeptical. I was, too, but here's what two decades in this market has taught me.

The moment never feels obvious while you're living through it. It only looks obvious looking backwards. They say hindsight is 2020, and the folks who wait for it to feel obvious are always the ones who move too late. And here's the thing, folks. The case for gold and silver today isn't just as strong as it was 20 years ago. I believe it's stronger. I believe it's a lot stronger. And that's because it's something brand new that didn't even exist as a concept back then. But before I get into that part, let me give you the number now again, because I don't want you hunting for a pen in 15 minutes. So that number is 1-800-702-2212. Again, folks, that's 1-800-702-2212.

Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. Write that down for me. The call is free. It's a conversation with a real person. No pressure, no obligation, no commitment to buy a thing. Worst case, you learn something and hang up. Best case, it's the most important call that you end up making all year. Now, a quick disclaimer, folks. As always, I am not a financial advisor or a tax advisor. Everything I share is my own opinion built on decades of watching this market. Please do your own homework as well. All right, so here is what is different now folks. And I believe it's the most underappreciated part of this entire story. For years when folks talked about industrial demand for silver, they meant solar panels, electric vehicles, basic electronics.

Real demand, meaningful demand. But demand. You've heard about 100 times already. It wasn't any new information, but we're stepping into something genuinely new now. The buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure and right behind it, which is something that probably a lot of you right now have not heard of, is humanoid robotics. And I'm sure you guys have seen some commercials on TV or some interesting things on YouTube or something like that. But folks, this is not the first time a giant leap in technology has depended on silver to make it real. Back in 1969, when NASA put men on the moon, and I'm sure you all remember that the Apollo spacecraft ran on silver zinc batteries. Because when a mission absolutely could not fail. Silver was the metal engineers trusted to conduct power reliably without letting them down.

Now, that wasn't a coincidence either. Silver is the single best conductor of electricity of any metal on Earth. Bar none. Nothing else does the job efficiently, as efficiently rather. Now. Now, take the same principle and let's apply it to today. Every AI data center full of processors, every humanoid robot that's getting built with sensors and actuators that need to react instantly and reliably, reliably, reliably. Whoa, folks, sorry about that. Need some more coffee? All of it leans on Silver's conductivity. You know, the same way that NASA did 50 plus years ago. We were at the very beginning of an entirely new category of industrial silver demand, stacking directly on top of solar and EV demand that was already straining supply. Now, this is exactly why the phrase I opened with matters.

The informational aid runs on metals. Every AI breakthrough, every robotics company raising money, every data center going up in this country right now requires physical silver to function. Not hypothetically, folks. Literally like right now. And remember the supply side of this equation, because I brought this up in an earlier show and it's still just as true. This is the sixth consecutive year the world has used more silver than has come, than then has come out of the ground. Think about that. Right. We're in a six year deficit. Over 760,000,000oz have already been drained from above ground reserves since 2021, just to meet demand that existed before this new wave of technology even arrive. Now you're layering a brand new category of demand on top of a market that was already structurally short. Folks, think about a farmer. Or if you are a farmer buying seed for next season, you don't wait until planting day to see if the price went up before you buy.

You buy when the price makes sense and you know for certain you're going to need it. That's exactly the position we're in with silver right now, except the planting season here is an entirely new wave of technology that is not slowing down. So if any of this new information that I just gave you folks, if any of it makes sense, that's exactly why this calm matters. And that call is the call that you make to Ragan gold Group. The one the one that can possibly change the trajectory of your future. And again folks that number is 1-800-702-2212 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. Ask them directly how this new industrial demand is shaping the market. It's no cost to you, no obligation, just a straight conversation with someone who watches this stuff every single day.

All right, now, I've spent a lot of time on silver just now, folks, but because I think the industrial story is the part most people are missing. But gold is walking through the same moment right alongside it for a related but different reason. While silver is being pulled by an industrial demand, gold is being pulled by something else trust or more precisely, the lack of it, the central banks of the world, the very institutions that print national currencies, have been buying physical gold with both hands at a pace we have not seen in generations.

They're not doing it because gold pays interest. It doesn't. They're doing it because when you sit inside the system and see exactly how it's run, you understand better than anyone why it makes sense to hold something that isn't somebody else's liability. JP morgan's own research desk has told their clients to prepare for gold, averaging around $6,000 an ounce by the end of this year, Bank of America has gone even further on silver, telling clients they haven't ruled out a run as high as $309 an ounce.

In an extreme scenario, I believe there what was their exact range was $135 to $309. So think about that, folks. $135 is the low end of their forecast on silver. Now, I'm not telling you that these numbers, you know, I'm not telling you about these numbers to get you chasing a lottery ticket or something. I'm telling you this because when the biggest, most conservative and that's the key word, your conservative institutions on Wall Street put forecasts like that in writing. It's not a guess. It's the math, the debt, the deficit, the demand. It's all forcing their hand. Now, here's the part I want to hit the hardest today, folks, because I said something to Carl in our conversation last week that I believe with everything in me, if you actually understand the fundamentals behind gold and silver, right, if you actually understand them, today's price almost doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters about today's price is whether it's low, because if it's low, that makes today the best day to act, not a day to wait around on. Think about that. These two metals are in trajectory that I personally believe is unstoppable. It's driven by a national debt that is not drinking. A Federal Reserve that's boxed in central banks buying gold with both hands, and now an entirely new wave of technology that needs physical silver just to exist when the trajectory itself is the story, the day to day price is just noise. A dip is not a warning sign, folks. It's an opportunity sitting right in front of your face. So let me be really blunt here for a second about what I do, not what I don't want you to do right. This is what I don't want you to do. Folks, I don't want you to hang up on this show.

I don't want you to turn off your radio and tell yourself that you'll think about it for a week, or you'll think about it for a month. Or maybe you jot the number down and you just lose it. You know what I'm saying? You put it in the glove box, or you leave it out on the counter for it to get washed away. I don't want you waiting to see if the price climbs another $1,000 in gold before you finally believe me. Now, this is exactly backwards. You don't want to wait for proof after the fact. You act because you understand the fundamentals now. And now is when the price still makes sense. And that is why every single week on this show, I try to do the best job that I can to explain to you folks all the fundamentals that are working in both metals right now.

Now, I want you to do what I did 20 years ago, except with the benefit of everything we know today that we didn't know back then. And I want you folks to call the Reagan Gold Group at 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com, that's OwnRealGold.com, and let them walk you through rolling an existing IRA or a 401 into a gold IRA, a simple tax free move with no penalties. Or if you'd rather by physical metal outright, they'll help you pick what fits your budget and first time buyers get a free safe for home storage on top of it. Again, folks, that's 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. Now, folks, I just want you to get this idea into your head right now. And it's one main idea and not five different ideas or all these different topics.

Right. And this is something that I mention a lot, right. Gold and silver both have value that precedes time itself. They've been around for 5000 years. I know you folks probably see crypto pop up in this coin and that coin and, you know, blockchains and some of you know what that kind of stuff is, and some of you have no clue what it is whatsoever.

But silver and gold have been around throughout generations. They've been around for your parents, for your grandparents, for your great grandparents. And they'll be here for your children, for your grandchildren, your great grandchildren and generations to go beyond that. And that is the true power of this metal. And that is why, in an ever changing world right now, with so much uncertainty, with wars going on, with, you know, our country being in the kind of, you know, debt that we're in, a $40 trillion debt that a lot of people want to have something that is certain they want to have something that's going to help them sleep well at night.

And this is something that I've referenced in a lot of my previous shows, folks, and that's my mother. And, you know, getting her into precious metals was one of the best things that I ever did, because coming home every single day and speaking to her and seeing the worry on her face because all of her money was tied up in the stock market, it would break me inside, folks. It would break me because I love that woman. And you would want to call me a mama's boy. You know what I sure am? But seeing that look on her face and, you know, being in her in her later years and not knowing if her money was going to be there the next day or gone the next day, or go up or go down, it was causing her so much unneeded stress.

And that same principle that I just mentioned to you, I mentioned to her and I said, mom, listen. Gold and silver have been there. It was something she could relate to because silver was around when she was a kid. Gold was around when she was a kid. It's something that we can all relate to it, something that we can physically hold. You know, when I, when I talk about bitcoin or folks bring crypto up to me, I always tell them the same thing. The day that you can hand me a Bitcoin and I can put it inside of my pocket, and I'm not talking about a commemorative bitcoin from the US mint, but a real bitcoin that I can put in my pocket and bring to the store and buy myself a nice soda pop with.

I'll be all in. But until then, physical metals are what give me comfort and what there's something that should give you comfort as well. And that's why I always stress that making this call not only will be great for your future and your financial security, but for your day to day happiness, your day to day security. You knowing that your family will be secure for generations to come. Because if gold and silver have been around for 5000 years, you can know that whether you have it or whether it's something that you, you know, pass on to your kids or whether you give it as a gift, whatever it may be, that it's something that's always going to be there. So, folks, unfortunately, we're closing in on all the time that we have for segment one.

And I have an amazing segment two lined up with Carl as he's back on the show with us this week. And I know a lot of you have been calling into Reagan gold. A lot of you have been requesting to speak to him and getting him on the phone, and he's told me about a lot of wonderful conversations he's been having with you folks. But let me close with this today, and I want to close with it the way that I open folks with one idea the informational age. It runs on metals, every data center, every AI breakthrough, every humanoid robot rolling off an assembly line in the next few years needs physical silver to exist, the same way NASA needed it to put a man on the moon.

At the same time, the institutions responsible for the world's currencies are buying physical gold because they understand something about their own system. Most folks will never get told directly, and underneath all of it sits a national debt and a Federal Reserve that can be knocked off balance by one Friday morning jobs report. I made my decision 20 years ago without any of this information in front of me. You get to make yours today, folks, with all the information in the world. So here's exactly what happens when you call a real person answers, not a machine. You tell them what you've got, whether it's an IRA of 401 or cash sitting in the bank. They explain everything in plain English. And that's the entire process, folks. That's the entire process.

They do all the heavy lifting from there for you. So again 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. Folks, I don't want you to be the person who looks back on this exact week, the week the country turned 250, the week a single jobs report flipped the Fed's hand, the week you first heard how silver and this new wave of technology are tied together, and you wish you made the call. While the price still made sense, the time is now. Not next week, not after it jumps another $1,000. Now, while it's still low enough to really matter, pick up that phone 1-800-702-2212 or go to OwnRealGold.com. Once again folks, it's a free call. No pressure, no obligation, just the conversation I wish somebody had put in front of me 20 years ago. This is The Gold Show. I am Walt Philips and we'll be right back with segment two.

And welcome back to The Gold Show, folks. Once again, I am Walt Philips. Before the break, we talked about a lot. We talked about gold pulling back more than 20% off its record high and then roaring right back this past week or so. After a week jobs report shook things up. We talked about JP Morgan telling their own clients to expect gold at $6,000 an ounce by the end of the year. We talked about central banks buying gold with both hands, and we took a trip back to the 1970s to remind ourselves, what happens to your money when the government can't get inflation under control? And we talked about silver sitting on six straight years of using up more than the world can dig up more supply, that is, than the world can dig up.

And if you missed any of that, stick around because we're about to go even deeper. You know, every week, folks, I get calls and emails from people who say the same thing to me, I hear you, but is now really the time? Prices already ran up so much nobody wants to feel like they're buying at the top. But here's the thing nobody tells you. Nobody rings a bell at the bottom. The people who did well in this market over the last few years weren't the ones who waited for some perfect signal. They were the ones who picked up the phone, had a conversation, and made a decision they could live with. That's all this really is, folks. And that's exactly why I bring Carl on every single week.

Because I can give you the headlines and the numbers. But Karl's the one actually talking to families every single day about what to do with what they've got. He hears the real questions. He sees what's actually moving in this market. But before I bring him on, let me give you the number one more time, folks. It's 1-800-702-2212. That's 1-800-702-2212. Or go to that new URL that I just got to make things easier for you folks. Once again, OwnRealGold.com. That's OwnRealGold.com. And as always, folks, I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not a tax advisor. I'm a broadcaster who spent a lot of years paying attention to the market. Everything you hear on this show is my opinion, and Karl's based on publicly available information.

Please do your own homework before making any decision with your money. All right, folks, it's about that time to bring on my good friend Carl. He is the top precious metals expert over at the Reagan Gold Group. This man and I have been friends for over ten years, and he's been on this show with me almost every single week. And with that, Carl, welcome back to the show, my friends. Oh well, thanks so much for having me, buddy. Hope you had a great holiday. Absolutely, man. Yeah, the fourth was great. Luckily I didn't blow any fingers off. Carl. I hope you have all yours. All mine are still here.

Carl. So this is my question today, man. And I guess we can kind of dive into this, but. So we've got gold pulling back over 20% from its record high in this past week or so. It's been coming back hard after that jobs report. Is this actually, in your opinion, a good moment to get in? Does it feel too late for them? Well, I don't think anything's ever too late. I mean, it's real simple. You got to do something and not be a deer in headlights. This past week, after the holiday, our phone was on fire. People were calling in just saying, hey, wait a second here. We got to do something to protect what we have. I mean, unfortunately, the market's just uncooperative.

I mean, you know, there was a great article out I read from Market Watch a few weeks ago. They was talking about how the market's not up. It just keep it up with inflation gold and silver up. It's a physical tangible asset. It's a real thing. What we do here it's not paper. It's not an ETF. It's not a miner. People are coming to us saying hey listen, I got to do what I have to do to protect myself and not listen to anybody else and listen to my gut. And I always tell people that's the most important thing. I mean, this isn't our money. This isn't Reagan Gold's money. This isn't your money, Walt. This is their. They need to do what they have and grab the bull by the horns as they ate and just protect themselves.

Yeah. And you know, Carl, I mean, listen, good points, man. And to your point, to, like, about the phone ringing nonstop. I mean, it doesn't really surprise me, man, because, you know, that seems to be the pattern, isn't it? Like people wait wait wait. And then the second the market moves just a little bit, everyone wants in all at once, right? And that's exactly the problem, man. I mean, that's the problem once everybody's calling at the same time, you know, you know we're not getting in late, but you know, you're not getting in as early as you could for when the sale was at the highest point. Right. You're getting in with, with the, you know, you're getting in with the crowd that's now seeing, you know, the sale for the first time.

But you know, that's that's the thing about precious metals, Carl, is like, you know, it's like if you go to the car dealership, right? And you know, you want to buy yourself a new pickup truck and you know, what is that called the December to remember or truck of the month or whatever, whatever. One of those. Yep. You know what I'm saying? You go if you go into the truck of the month, whatever month that may be, and you folks at home were probably like, well, come on, man. You know, come on. I have three trucks sitting in my driveway right now. Well pardon me guys, you know I'm not perfect, but you know, if you go in to buy that truck and you have a $10,000 rebate, you're not going to walk out and be like, oh, you know what the truck is like actually $10,000 less.

And, you know, I don't know. I don't know if I should get that truck now. No, no, you're like holy, holy. You know, I don't want to say any, you know, customers right now, but I feel like it. But, you know, you're you're excited as all heck you want to get that truck. And not only are you get in that truck, but you're going home to brag to all your friends about it and say, look what I got. I got this brand new Dodge Ram fully loaded, or this brand new Ford F-350 fully loaded, and I got it for 30,000 off the sticker. You know, whenever you're sitting around the dinner table and that always comes up between fellas, you know, and you're like, hey, would you pay for yours? Would you pay for yours? Would you pay for yours? There's always the one guy who's super proud because he's like, you're not going to believe the deal that I got on my truck.

Everybody loves the deal, Walt. Yeah, yeah. But when it. Comes to put anything for full price. But, Carl, when it comes to precious metals, no one's like. Hey, Carl, have you ever had anyone call you up and say, hey, you'll never guess the deal that I got on this gold? And that's the funny thing about it, is that people want to wait for the opposite. They want to wait for gold to be at 6000 before they want to start buying, instead of just understanding the fundamentals and getting it when it is the, the nugget of the month, let's say for the best comparison.

Yeah, I mean, listen, I tell everybody all the time and we say this before, it's about being proactive not reactive. And the thing is, is you got to be able to know why you're doing this. You know, you got to do this for the right reasons. And metals are meant to be a hedge. You buy them, you hold them for the long term, set it and forget it. Know that it's there in your back pocket. You know, it's like the folks that live in Florida, you know, or in California, you know, they have their hurricane or earthquake, you know, ready bags or whatever when that happened. That's what metals are for, for your retirement account. You know, it's meant to be there when you need it, you know.

And the thing is, is, yeah, metals took a dip the last few months. So what? Look at the long term there. I mean, in the last 12 months. Gold still up over 20%. What's wrong with that kind of a return? Absolutely nothing. And you know, I think, Karl, I think I discussed this last week when I made this analogy and, you know, it was something to the effect of, you know, and I don't remember the exact date here, but like 30 or 40 years ago, right. If you took $35 in cash and you buried it under your bed or buried it in a hole, let's say in your backyard, and he took $35 in gold, right?

That was pretty much what an ounce was going for, which was the time frame that I was referencing. And he took an ounce of gold for $35 and buried in your backyard. And you pulled it out today in 2026, that $35 in gold would be 4200 bucks, give or say, right? That $35 would be $35. And instead of buying wood it bought you 30 or 40 years ago, it would buy you a hamburger. And for you, the wife and the kid at Arby's. Whereas the gold would be worth over $4,000. And I think that's the real value for the people at home of understanding the power of this metal and the fact that it's been around for 5000 years. And it's like, you know, sometimes I feel like a broken record call because I say it's so much on the show.

But here's the thing. You're not a broken record. I mean, people got to understand there's a reason why central banks and governments throughout the world are buying as much as they can get their hands on, you know, I mean, look at these banks. They're selling all these stocks and bonds and paper. I mean, if it was so valuable, where aren't they keeping it for themselves? Exactly. And Carl, I think the stat just went up and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the stat, you know, I think it was I forget who was released by was probably Reuters. They just said that going into this next year, banks are going to be looking to buy 45% more. More correct. More, you know, and if gold was something that was falling or this that why are the bank why are the banks using the cash to buy the gold?

Yeah, I mean it's it's common sense, folks, right? I mean, listen, I tell people, you got to do this and you can't wait. Now is the time. Wouldn't you rather buy low and sell high? I mean, why would you want to buy high and open gets higher. 100%, 100%. This truly is. And a game of understanding the fundamentals. And I always recommend to everyone, Carl, that they do their research. And you know, you're the king of that with the guy that literally is speaking to hundreds and hundreds of people a week. But I always say that people should really understand, right. They should understand gold and silver because that is the ultimate weapon, because once you fully understand gold and you understand silver and you understand the unstoppable trajectory right now that they are both on with fiat, which for those of you that don't know that term, it might be a little too macro, but our monetary system going in a direction where,

you know, I'm not going to say that it's going to fail tomorrow. I'm not here to fear monger, but let's folks, let's face it, you know, $40 trillion in debt. We're not in the best place. But if you understand gold and silver, which is something that I do my best to educate people on this show, the daily price doesn't matter, Carl, because you know where those metals are going. And, you know, someone said to me today, you know, this morning they had said, oh, Walt Silver is might be headed down $5, you know, next month. And it's worrying me. And I said, that's the best news that I've heard all day. That's amazing. If silver is headed down $5, if that actually comes true, that means you can back the truck up and buy a lot more of it, because the long term trajectory of the metal is not even has nothing to do with the daily price right now, people.

Well, listen. Well, excuse me. Let me interrupt real quick. Sure. Go back about a quarter of a century. Okay? You know, if you're 2250 bucks an ounce silver, four bucks an ounce, approximately. If I was to tell you, in a quarter of a century, gold's going to be 4000. Silver is going to be around 70 bucks. What would you said to me. Back then? I probably would have thought first that you were crazy, and then second, and then second, I'd be like, whoa, if this guy is right, I gotta go get as much money as I possibly can and by as much of this stuff as I can right now, because I want to be a millionaire or a billionaire one day.

Correct. And that's what it's all about. Once again, it's a hedge. It's an insurance policy. It's a diversification tool. It's about not having all your eggs in one basket, folks. I mean, I tell people, you have to do this and you can't sit and wait. You know, I mean, there's no pressure here. Call in for me. I'll talk to you. Answer any question you have. This is what I do for many, many years. I love what I do. It's great. You know, it's able to help people and give them some diversity with something that is real. I mean, it's because the value of provides, you know what I mean? I mean, if $35 from, you know, 30, 40 years ago. Come on, 35 bucks much anymore 30, 40 years ago. Used to buy a heck of a lot.

Yeah, yeah, 30 or $40. Doesn't even take the kids to the movies, you know? No, it doesn't even take the kids to the movies. And that's the, the power of these metals. And real quick, Carl, before we shift, because there's another very important question that I do want to ask you. I just want to remind you folks at home that if anything that we just said resonated with you at all, at all. I want you folks to have your pens out right now and make sure you jot this number down 1-800-702-2212 again, that's 1-800-702-2212. Or if you're not a phone person.

Goal.com, you're going to fill out a few questions. And somebody from the Reagan Gold Group is going to call you within minutes and be able to sit there and answer every question that you may have. Now, Carl, the next question that I have for you, and it's something that I've been bringing up every week, you know, it's a question that I ask you every week, but not everyone listens every single week, or they might not catch the episode. And to me, it's one of the most important questions. But can you walk people through one more time? For me, Carl and I hate to be a pain in the butt, but one more time. Can you walk people through for me? What happens? Like if I were to pick up the phone right now and I said, all right, well, I'm listening to what Walt and what Carl are saying right now.

And I do want to know a little bit more about this. I'm going to pick up the phone and I'm going to call that number 1-800-702-2212. Can you give the folks at home an idea of how that phone call goes? Yeah, I mean, it's real simple. Just call on some portions, ask, you know, just tell me what your concerns are and why, and we'll let you know what gold can or can I do for you? I mean, there's no pressure. I always tell people all those and cost anything and never hurt anybody. It's about giving yourself an opportunity or, you know, I'm a sports guy.

It's giving yourself a bat and baseball, you know, do you want to give yourself a chance to get that hit and, you know, protect your retirement and your hard earned money, or you want to just sit in the sidelines and sit in the dugout and wait and do nothing and let it get gobbled up. I mean, too many people have short memories. Look at 2008. Most people did not do very well. I mean, I still talk to people weekly who still haven't got their money back from then. Yeah. You know, I mean, basically what you're going to do is give us a call and, you know, the process to do it is simple. You know, if you have fun sitting in a checking or savings or brokerage account, you just write us a check or where's the money? And we send the medals to your home. Now call.

For an IRA. We could do the IRA. It's rolling the funds over. It's a nontaxable event in the precious metals IRA. And then buying the gold and silver with those funds. Sorry I interrupted you there for a second, but what you were saying sparked another idea in my head. And obviously I want. I've been wanting to ask you this myself, and I'm sure you have a million of these stories and obviously we can't name any names, but can you think of, like, any recent success story, maybe recently, maybe the last few months, last year, whatever timeframe comes to mind of someone that called in for you, to you, and they hadn't been in silver or gold or any precious metals or anything like that. You were able to, you know, get them into the market and them calling you back. However, however much time later and telling you how it changed their lives, does anything come to mind?

Yeah, I get too many of those come to mind. I mean, it happens all the time, you know? I mean, I guess really the one that really pops into my head, this woman was with a financial company and she knew her gut that she. I don't want to say she was getting taken for a ride, but she knew that something wasn't right and she wanted to do something about it. So she reached out and said, could I do a rollover? I said, no problem. As long and short of it is, we ended up rolling her funds over. I mean, she was losing 2 to $3000 every month, according to what she was telling me. You know, since she started working with us and me, she's up about 18%. I mean, that's in the last nine months, ten months, approximately. And really happy birthday right now.

Wow, wow. Yeah. I mean, I think it's important for, you know, the folks at home to hear that because for people that just don't understand how powerful, you know, moving out of the stock market or moving out of, you know, maybe you're just hanging on to cash and it's just not doing anything for you. And the power of getting into the precious metals space and being backed by real physical assets, you know that not only the power that you just explained and, you know, going from losing money to being up 18%, but also the security men, I mean, that security alone, you know, just not having to wake up and look at stock market tickers

the moment you open your eyes before you even add a cup of coffee to see if you're up for the day or if you're going to have a terrible day because you just found out you lost a bunch of money. And you know, with gold and silver. Sure, there's a little bit of volatility here, but you know, they don't lose value like that. You know what I'm saying. There's ebbs and flows. There's ups and downs. But ultimately you have that safety. And I think it's just so important. And that's kind of why I scream from the rooftops not only here on the radio show. Carl. You know, I got my own mother into it. As you know, you're the one that helped her get into everything.

But I just, you know, tell as many people as I can, because just having that sense of security, man, you know, and just knowing that, you know, what you own, you can put in your pocket. You know what I'm saying? You can fit $100,000 in gold in one of your pockets, you know, and if you try to do that same thing with cash, obviously, $100,000 in cash isn't fitting into any pocket unless you shop at the biggest big and tall store on the planet. Correct? I mean, listen, it's simple. It's just doing something to give yourself some protection. There's no reason to wake. Nobody has a crystal ball. Nobody could time the market. Nobody knows what's going to happen, you know? I mean, the thing is to. Yes. Battle took a little bit of a hit lately. I tell people I love it. Why didn't they go?

Why do you love it? Because I don't want anything that goes straight up. Because guess what? It's going to come straight down. Exactly. I mean, it's common sense. Just do something to protect yourself. But don't sit on the sidelines and don't sit there and do nothing. Because if you sit there and do nothing, that's when you get gobbled up. And folks listen. And Carl, I unfortunately that is all the time we have for today. But I kind of want to end the show there. And, you know, you just kind of hit it on the head. When you do nothing, you get gobbled up. When you do nothing, you get gobbled up. And Carl, I want to thank you so much again for being here, for giving us your time.

I know you were busier than ever right now on those phones and, you know, getting these precious metals into people's hands. So I want to thank you for being here, and I look forward to you coming back on next week and us doing our segment again. So thank you so much my friend. Oh my pleasure. Thanks so much for having me. Absolutely folks. Listen just remember it's about protecting yourself, giving yourself a little bit of diversity. Please call me. As for Carl, whatever I could do to be of assistance, I'm here to help. Our team here is great if you don't get me. But whatever you need. We're here to assist.

Carl. Thank you so much, man. And, folks, unfortunately, that is all the time that we have. And, folks, I want to leave you with this. I want you to think back to the people who made that call a year ago, two years ago, five years ago. They're not worried about this week's headlines. They made a decision when the window was open, and they have been glad ever since. And that could be you starting today with one five minute phone call, 1-800-702-2212. Again, folks, that's 1-800-702-2212. Or you can go to OwnRealGold.com. I appreciate you all for spending this time with me today. I don't take it for granted. Make sure to protect what you've built. Take care of your family and we'll see you right back here next week on The Gold Show.
