What is your message for today's Money Minute?
49:52
So a little, obviously a little different gear I wanted to shift into.
49:58
Basically, interest rates got people pretty much down, real estate's down.
50:03
Credit card, if you have credit card debt, you're crapping bricks right now.
50:08
People with mortgages, they're having issues with adjustables if they have adjustables, unfortunately.
50:14
So interest rates and inflation have been hurting pretty much everybody.
50:19
But what I want to say is that when you do have a green money account, you are literally not just making money, but you're almost hedging yourself and hoping that interest rates do go higher.
51:26
lot of ways that probably these people don't anticipate.
15:57
Petrodollar, war in Iran, where you see the market right now, very quickly, the Money Minute is on.
16:03
Yeah.
16:03
So next Tuesday, they're coming out with the Fed is coming out with this interest rate.
16:08
It's kind of like two sides of the fence here.
16:10
The economists are saying there is going to be a rate hike.
16:12
You know, pretty much all of them are saying there's going to be another rate hike where the Fed is saying that it may stay unchanged.
16:20
who knows what's going to happen next tuesday uh at two o'clock in the afternoon eastern um but stu if they raise the interest rates again even if it's 25 25 basis points borrowing becomes more expensive mortgages become more expensive car notes just everything in general accessing money becomes so expensive and at what point are we trying to fix economy or are we trying to fix inflation so This fake Fed that's out right now, it's a huge pickle.
21:04
Visit freedomlawschool.org slash stew today.
53:11
We're sucking it all out of the American economy, and we're injecting it into the Indian economy." What say you?
53:19
Yeah, JD was spot on.
53:20
I was listening, uh, to it.
53:22
Shout out to my boy JD.
53:24
Uh, what up? [laughs] Thanks for having me, Stu.
53:26
Uh, when it comes to Larry Fink, look, they're...
53:29
These billionaires are literally in bed with each other.
55:01
I, I'm promoting them.
6:24
Yeah, of course.
6:24
Yeah, simply put, simply put, uh, the whole AI story, how everybody is wanting to be in AI.
6:31
Every- everybody wants to just get in on this big tech.
6:35
And what's interesting is all this, this drama, even, even the noise with, um, with whatever you're doing, and, and you're gonna expose JD Vance.
6:45
I, I completely, completely am excited to see that, uh, what you're coming up with.
6:50
Um, and, and there's gonna be a lot of truth.
6:52
But the fact of the matter is this is, this is all, uh, happening with so many distractions, Stu.
9:02
Based
43:28
Uh, de- describe why you call it that.
43:31
Because it, it's very similar to COVID, uh, safe and effective, and we're gonna see those same w- words with this, uh, planned plague that is not from Russia, as you corrected from me-- uh, corrected me yesterday on.
43:47
And, uh, it, it's, it's the planned plague, and they're gonna use these words, uh, on this mRNA, uh, jab where, uh, I, I don't know if he was a doctor, but I like that Tom guy.
43:59
Uh, he said that, what, one out of, um, one out of five people are now taking vaccines, which that's an incredible flip from what it was, you know, six, seven years ago, uh, where eighty percent were taking-
44:10
Yeah, he was a US, uh, a US Air Force major and data analyst, and what he did is he spent years, uh, surveying embalmers on their findings to, to determine whether or not this white fibrous clot was actually a real thing, and it turns out that absolutely it is.
44:28
Yeah, incredible.
44:29
Incredible information.
44:31
Uh, and the same thing happens with, uh, with our finances.
19:05
Uh, what can we expect this week, and is the system somehow unrigged now?
19:11
Well, y- here we go.
19:13
You know, I don't wanna speculate, but I am speculating.
19:16
The yield curve that we talked about immensely is starting to get closer, almost like to uninvert or to invert again, uh, where that two year is, is coming up on that five year and the five year is coming up on a 10 year.
19:30
And what's interesting is the three-month Treasury is getting closer to the five-year Treasury.
19:35
It's only one, 100 basis points away, which is 1% in re- in English.
19:40
In financialese, it's 100 basis points.

7 MINS LATER

26:57
Is that right?
10:47
What do you remember of that moment, uh, leading up to, uh, Kurtz coming up and swatting that fourth home run, um, back in July of last year?
10:57
I was just trying to get my, what was it? My first career multi-hit game.
11:00
I just wanted my second hit of the game, so [clears throat] I was worried about that.
11:04
And then I get on first, they're like, "Oh," like, "Let's see if he'll get four." I, I didn't think anything of it.
11:09
I didn't think ahead anything, so [laughs] I wasn't thinking about him, honestly, selfishly.
11:13
But yeah, um, that was really cool.
11:15
Just crazy moment for him.
12:47
Is that a position that you've found yourself, uh, in a lot in the minor leagues and, and in college? Is this something that, uh, you, you find that you fit in? Um, a- and how has that transition, uh, changed for you this year?
51:16
That's the only two ways that this will end, because it's their stated objective, they're moving forward, and this war shows no end in any near sight.
51:25
It, that is definitely, uh, the two absolute truths I see as well, Stu, because it's like silver.
51:33
Silver has been ...
51:35
Uh, silver's a perfect example of what's really, really going on.
51:39
Uh, silver has the ability to be suppressed, although it can't be suppressed for so long.
51:45
Uh, and when we pump up the dollar like they're doing right this second, the dollar is being pumped up so that the silver could be pressed down.
51:53
And I think if ...
53:54
He is the son-in-law of Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress.
39:24
Anyway.
39:25
So it's what the pro investors are, are spewing, right? So we have, going to what you were saying earlier, alluding to, is that we, we have a Israel first agenda, and we see it financially.
39:38
We see it tremendously in so many ways where America, the federal government, has already stepped out, and we'll talk about this on SPF.
39:49
They have already stepped out and admitted that we have a retirement crisis.
39:53
We have a retirement problem, and if we've been focusing on sending money out to other countries and not really establishing our foundations here, taking care of our senior citizens, taking care of our American blue-collar workers, that hasn't been on the agenda, Stu.
40:08
And it's proof, because just last month they came out with Trump IRAs, and this past month they already...
40:16
Or I'm sorry, today, today, effective today, uh, May 28th, they're coming out with the new app called the Trump Accounts.
44:06
Talk about that real quickly, what greenmoneysolutions.com and Cortez Wealth Management has to offer for the Money Minute, and then highlight what we're gonna be discussing more of this Saturday on Stu Peters Financial at 11:00 AM Central, noon Eastern.
41:37
Uh, I was trying to buy something and, you know, using my credit card, bank d- or excuse me, my debit card, and, you know, the money was in the bank, but they were like, "Yeah, no, you can't spend this much."
41:46
Yep.
41:47
Yep.
41:47
Yeah, they throttle, uh, they throttle, uh, the funds, and a lot of that, um, if you remember, I wanna say dur- after '08 there was a lot of NSFs, um, after '08 and, and the res- the last Great Recession we've had.
42:00
The, uh, Bank of America, Wells Fargo all got booked and fined for delaying, and Fifth Third Bank actually, uh, got, um, feed and penalized, uh, for delaying actual transactions so people primarily can get a lot of, uh, NSFs and, and bank overdrafts, and they made a gazillion dollars off of bank overdrafts.
42:22
So it was disgusting what these banks were doing, uh, during that time, and you're gonna see a lot of funny business, uh, moving forward with the credit crisis happening, uh, with private, well, private credit and, uh, private equity.
42:35
There's a lot of stuff.
45:52
Cortez Wealth Management is a way to protect your money, and describe how.
49:49
And what's different about your firm than what the guy down the street at Thrivent or at Wells Fargo or at Citi or Ameriprise, what's different at Cortez Wealth Management with Green Money Solutions than, you know, these guys?
50:05
Yeah, the number one thing is that we're n- I'm not a public traded company, nor do I ever aspire to be.
50:10
And so if you're with a public traded company and your advisor's with that firm, somewhere along the lines you become secondary, in my opinion, because they have to constantly, constantly promote products that make the public, the public's, uh, shareholders profitable.
50:30
And so if they're profitable, they have to align your objectives, your growth, your investment outlooks on your dime and your risk and your time and your time horizon to fit that mold.
50:46
So it-
54:01
Knowing what a green money solution is, what red money, what yellow money, what green money is, is, like, a critical step in freeing yourself from this economic slavery.
54:12
Amen, brother.
54:13
Yeah, it really is, and that's why I started a firm, uh, a decade ago, i- is simply to get you out of the rat race, to get you out of the manipulations.
46:46
Yeah, of course.
46:47
Uh, e- event- eventually, uh, you know, we started with student loan crisis.
46:51
We started with, uh...
46:52
We never had a really resolution on, on, uh, the PPPs.
46:57
You remember during COVID, they were just printing money out and sending out money.
47:01
Uh, we sent all this money to Ukraine.
47:02
We sent all this money to Taiwan, not even to mention Israel or, um, and other, other countries.

6 MINS LATER

53:30
There are other options for your health
33:17
This is something that you have to prepare about, and this pilot called you and said, "I'm gonna be out of a job." I mean, so what was the temperature like at that point? I mean, a state of complete panic, or was there some preparation? Did he have any idea that this was coming?
33:33
Uh, yeah, uh, thanks for having me, Stu.
33:34
No, we get calls like this all the time, not just specifically to, uh, pilots.
33:38
It just happens to be that a lot of our listeners are pilots, um, and we welcome them.
33:44
Uh, you know, we see it in the dental field.
33:46
We see it in real estate.
33:47
We see it in banking, believe it or not, uh, as well as, um, [clicks tongue] uh, healthcare.
36:26
... affixed to your skin.
