| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Chris Martinson here of Peak Prosperity here with my good friend George Gammon, George. So good to have you here. |
| 0:10.0 | Thanks, trying me back on. It's always a pleasure to talk, Chris. |
| 0:13.8 | Pleasure is mine. So here's what we're going to do today, people. There's going to be, this is the public portion. There's also going to be a private portion. George and I have both run into the same thing. George, you can confirm for yourself, but from my end, I know that there are things I can't really talk about freely if I want this to be seen by all the people who ostensibly follow me. There's now, listen, we live in an age of censorship. So, where you get around that is we talk about what we consider to be safe things here. And then if you want to know what we're really thinking, particularly around maybe some of the bigger issues out there, you're going to have to watch part two of this. So let's get started. George, what's on your mind? I've been, you've been doing a lot with, hey, can you show everybody, your t-shirt, just lifted up a tiny bit because it's out of frame. |
| 0:55.1 | Yeah, CBDC. |
| 0:59.6 | You've been talking a lot about central bank digital currencies. |
| 1:03.7 | I know you talked about the brick currency and the potential for a gold back currency. |
| 1:08.8 | But maybe these aren't even the biggest issues on your mind, but let's back up a tiny bit. |
| 1:10.7 | Well, let me start there, actually. What is the biggest issue on your mind today? let's back up a tiny bit. Well, let me start there, actually. |
| 1:12.7 | What is the biggest tissue on your mind today? |
| 1:14.4 | Being unbanked. |
| 1:16.4 | Being unbanked. |
| 1:21.7 | Yeah, and Nigel Farage, his story really got me thinking. |
| 1:30.2 | Prior to that, I was really pounding the table on the CBDC stuff, which is a huge issue. Another thing we should talk about, I was writing this down, Chris, is this world coin thing. If your viewers aren't |
| 1:34.6 | privy to that, they really need to understand what's going on with that. But I was really |
| 1:38.8 | focused on the CBDCs and trying to open up people's eyes that it's not a competing currency. It's very |
| 1:46.1 | unlikely that they're going to come out with something called Fed coin and you're going to have |
| 1:49.9 | to choose between using Fed coin or dollars. That's kind of the way it's presented. And when in reality, |
| 1:56.5 | a CBDC is nothing more than your dollar assets that are now a liability of, let's say, Wells Fargo, |
| 2:03.7 | just moving from their balance sheet over to the Federal Reserve. Once the Federal Reserve, |
| 2:09.3 | once all the deposit liabilities from the private sector, the non-bank sector, let's say, move over to |
| 2:15.5 | the Fed's balance sheet, now of a, you basically have the foundation is set for a CBDC. |
| 2:22.8 | All those things that we are concerned with, rightfully so, the privacy issues, |
