Tucker Carlson

You have the U.S.

dollar, which is real because people have decided it's real.

It's an act of faith.

And their faith in that is declining because it's been used as a political weapon, as you, I thought, so crisply explained.

And so you need to replace it with something.

Why would Bitcoin be any different from the US dollar, except you start anew?

So that, Lee, I mean, you're making a very, I would say, I'm biased, of course, but you're making a pretty compelling case for gold on a bunch of levels.

But one, most obviously, is a hedge against whatever the hell is going to happen next.

Like, so if you were giving advice to someone you love, like, I've got $100, what do I do with it?

I think the wise, the loving advice would be put some of it in gold.

But so why isn't that advice ever uttered on any of the financial advice channels?

I think that's weird.

You know, I don't mean, why doesn't, you know, JP Morgan tell you to buy gold?

Why doesn't CNBC tell you to buy gold?

I mean, you know.

But you started this conversation by describing the rise in the S&P relative to gold.

I mean, the fall in the S&P relative to gold.

Well, the S&P has risen, but once you root it in gold, because all measures are comparative, you see that it's actually fallen compared to gold.

So gold is the better buy.

But that's even I understand.
