And, of course, you can get to Tony through David Knight.Gold,

lets them know that you came through us.

Thank you for joining us, Tony.

It's been another interesting week, hasn't it, with gold and silver?

Interesting week. Yeah, when I got off air with you last week at this time,

gold was trading around 5,500, 5,600 an ounce. And then the next day, I woke up and I set

prices, and I started to see just the red on the screen. And the same thing with silver. It went from like

$110 an ounce down to $70 something. Yeah, about 30% or something. Gold dropped almost

$1,000 an ounce and then bounced back. So yeah, at the top, it was $5700 that's last week, and then down to 4,700 or so.

And that happened in a 24-hour period. So, yeah, Wise Wolf survived the largest downturn of gold and silver in history in a flash like that.

Wow. I don't interview you. I don't know how you do it because I tell you, this is, you know, this is absolutely crazy, the big swings that are going back and forth. What do you think? I mean, some people have said that they think that, of course, a lot of people are getting out of Bitcoin, perhaps, getting into gold. Maybe these guys are then selling off gold because they've got to cover short

positions that are starting to drop. What do you think was going on behind that?

I think it's a lot of factors. The Warsh nomination carried a certain psychological weight to it.

A lot of people went back to his previous remarks about a strong dollar

and his support of things like Bitcoin and other things. And there was this feeling that,

oh, well, the dollar is going to be strengthened. That was at least some of the press release that

was out. But if you're following any of this or paying attention, you know, the Trump administration,

Trump himself,

has talked about the need for a weak dollar. The whole premise of everything that, if there is a

strategy here at all, the strategy is just a weak dollar and the, you know, the berating of Jerome Powell

for not lowering rates over the last year. You think that the new nominee is not going to just lower rates?
