And officials are telling us that this is not a bailout.
Andrei JikhHOST
2:19
So the question I had is, why are we doing this and where are we getting the money to pay for it? And it turns out the money is going to come from something most people have never even heard of, which is a fund inside the treasury called the ESF, the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Andrei JikhHOST
2:39
It's only been used a couple of times throughout history, and now it's going to be used to prop up and essentially bail out an entire foreign economy, which happens to be at the expense of American farmers and taxpayers.

especially now that President Trump has floated the idea of bringing down meat prices by importing beef from Argentina, which cattle ranchers across the country say will not help.
Andrei JikhHOST
4:29
So before I get into what this means for the US and for China and the dollar, let me first explain how it actually happened because obviously what the treasury did was not approved or passed through Congress, wasn't voted on, and it didn't even come from the Federal Reserve.
Andrei JikhHOST
4:46
It actually came from a completely separate pool of money, and it's one that very few people even know exists.
Andrei JikhHOST
4:53
It's called the ESF, the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Andrei JikhHOST
4:57
Now, the ESF was actually created way back in 1934 during the Great Depression, with profits the US made from revaluing gold.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:17
And because these are levels that a regulated bank would not risk without an exemption.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:21
Now, the ESF, the Exchange Stabilization Fund and the Fed and the Asian banks transacting on behalf are really among the entities able to operate under such exemptions.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:36
Now, the sell-off, fueled by momentum selling and long liquidation, was exacerbated by the rout in AI stocks and rising energy prices.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:47
And so to answer some questions on this, so the questions were, why did we evidence an unusual correlation between gold and AI? I mean, that should not be the case.
Andrew MaguireHOST
33:47
You sell the dollar, it benefits gold.
Andrew MaguireHOST
33:50
However, illustrating an FX market intervention, gold also fell alongside the dollar.
Andrew MaguireHOST
33:59
Now, this was because Besant's exchange stabilization fund once again intervened against gold in support of treasuries, while simultaneously serving to clean out the leveraged speculator gold and silver deck.
Andrew MaguireHOST
34:15
Strategically ahead of a revaluation so don't read the bearish action as this there is a real reason for this and keep in mind that spot gold and silver because they're both fx currency crosses against the dollar and along with any other currency cross against the dollar are they're obviously regularly intervened in And to suit, last time we looked in detail as the ex-Saurus trader Besant now heading up the Exchange Stabilization Fund and his active open use of it.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
9:57
So no one, no one even thinks twice while it's sitting in JP Morgan's vault or it's sitting in this one's vault.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
10:02
Who cares if it belongs to the treasury through the exchange stabilization fund who is knocking down the price because they're both critical mineral for national security.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
10:12
Well, no one's going to notice.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
10:14
And when it leaves the vaults, like the 39 million ounces that left COMEX in February, the silver, everyone freaks out.

Andy SchectmanGUEST
17:37
But won't that affect our balance sheet? Yes, Mr.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
17:40
President, you're right, it would.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
17:42
But because the Exchange Stabilization Fund through national security can do this without congressional approval, if we import it through them by proxy by the banks and just leave it in the COMEX account, it won't hit our balance sheet.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
17:55
No one's gonna know it will quietly be transitioned to the treasury at a certain period of time.
Chris NaghibiHOST
29:40
And I'm truly admitting to you, I'm only putting this in here because I thought the word tequila crisis was awesome.
Chris NaghibiHOST
29:46
Congress balked at a bailout, so the Treasury used something called the Exchange Stabilization Fund, which did not need a vote, to put together roughly a $50 billion rescue with the IMF.
Chris NaghibiHOST
29:57
And here is a punchline.
Chris NaghibiHOST
29:58
Mexico paid it back early, and the U.S. actually made about $580 million on it.
SeanHOST
28:21
I think that the U.S. government is secretly stacking gold much in the same way the Lannisters probably should be doing to pay back the Iron Bank.
Stuart EnglertGUEST
28:32
Well, that's what Andy is speculating, that the U.S. government is quietly accumulating gold and silver as critical and strategic minerals through the Exchange Stabilization Fund, which allows, by the way, the Treasury Secretary to take financial action or measures for national security reasons without congressional approval.
Stuart EnglertGUEST
28:56
You know, I was amazed when I was listening to Andy.
Stuart EnglertGUEST
28:59
He said he admitted he had no evidence to prove this, but that he's been connecting the dots, which include the appointment of gold bug Judy Shelton as a treasury consultant and passage of the Genius Act, which, by the way, takes effect in January.
SeanHOST
28:21
I think that the U.S. government is... secretly stacking gold much in the same way the Lannisters probably should be doing to pay back the Iron Bank.
Stuart EnglertGUEST
28:32

Mario InneccoGUEST
8:48
Yeah, no one really can prove it, but we know that they manipulate all the other markets.
Mario InneccoGUEST
8:56
They have something called the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Mario InneccoGUEST
8:59
They've manipulated the oil price.
Mario InneccoGUEST
9:02
They manipulate bond yields.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
2:23
But the interest on said treasuries is not transferable.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
2:28
And so you look at a company like Tether, and I will tell you right off the bat, I believe that the 81 plus billion in gold that has been delivered to COMEX this year, the almost 18 billion in silver that has been delivered to COMEX this year by the commercial banks, if you told me that the Exchange Stabilization Fund, Secretary Besant, who runs it, who has the authority through the Exchange Stabilization Fund, if for national security, to bypass congressional approval, to leave it on the balance sheets of the banks, because the pushback is, well, it doesn't leave.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
3:03
It doesn't leave.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
3:04
A lot of it stays there.

Andy SchectmanGUEST
19:09
So he understands it very well.
Andrew MaguireHOST
19:11
Absolutely.
Andrew MaguireHOST
19:14
And so I think basically he is, I think the ESG, sorry, the Exchange Stabilization Fund is active in the market.
Andrew MaguireHOST
19:28
I think they know what they're doing.
Andrew MaguireHOST
29:06
The return of these Chinese physical participation combined with sustained international sovereign demand created the conditions for the holiday period short overshoot to be absorbed and reversed upwards.
Andrew MaguireHOST
29:20
This was until Besant's Exchange Stabilization Fund once again intervened against gold.
Andrew MaguireHOST
29:31
Now, what indicates that the current interventions in gold are officially driven is the scale of themselves into otherwise declining open interest, COMICS chips, and we've uncovered sell tickets that exceed single entity position limits, levels that a regulated bank would not risk without an exemption.
Andrew MaguireHOST
29:57
Now, these ESF and Fed and Asian bank transactions on their own behalf obviously are transacted through other Asian banks.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:50
Gold suppression is directly related to slow down US treasury migrations into gold.
Andrew MaguireHOST
32:56
Create enough volatility and a lack of interest It's not working, but essentially that's what it's designed to do.
Andrew MaguireHOST
33:06
However, the exchange stabilization fund holds less than 220 billion.
Andrew MaguireHOST
33:12
Now, Besant's self-stated intervention posture is therefore mismatched against a roughly one trillion a week foreign exchange gold market.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
10:54
I don't know this to be true, but it's what I believe.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
11:00
What if it were the Exchange Stabilization Fund? What if it were Scott Percent? Now, he's a self-proclaimed gold bug.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
11:07
We know that.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
11:09
And we do know that silver was classified a critical mineral, right? And if it were silver that they wanted to stand for delivery for, for critical mineral, for national security, doesn't need congressional approval if it's through the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
11:26
And they openly admit they work in the gold market.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
11:29
using the commercial banks to run proxy for them to keep them at arm's length because if everyone knew they were accumulating metal the way the rest of the world is, look at the central bank acquisition.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
12:00
It's for a customer.
Andy SchectmanGUEST
12:02
Always.
