Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report. Today, we have a special guest,

Philip Patrick, from the Birch Gold, and he's been with us many times, and guess what we're going

to talk about today? We're going to be talking about gold. Philip, welcome to the program again.

Thank you so much for having me, Dr. Paul.

Very good.

No, we always talk about up-to-date items, and the economy provides that, and gold provides it,

monetary policy provides that.

But today, we awaken, and although people have been a bit euphoric the way I describe how the response so far to

Trump has been. They've been very happy except for the last week. Things seem to turn a little bit

differently. But today, for many people, it was a shocker because if you see, for people who have watched gold, as you have

for a long time, and we know the significance of gold, but to see some of the charts now say,

gold went up 60 bucks before, that does get our attention. But we don't talk about the price

of gold. We talk about the value of the dollar. And that to us means that the

dollar is going down and there has been some positive things. And we, we hear at the Liberty Report,

make an effort that when Trump does something that looks good and if he follows through, it'll be good. So we haven't been

after him. But right now, this looks like maybe a significant setback, but it's an expression now

that the market is realizing some of the things that we have been worried about, such as tariffs and spending,

and what the Fed's going to do and a fight between Trump and a Powell on who's the smartest

man in the world to know exactly what interest rates ought to be. So welcome to the program

and what's on your mind this morning.

Yeah, a lot, a lot.

As you mentioned, gold prices shot up this morning.
