Former Navy SEAL Matt Bracken analyzes the cartel war as a national security risk that could target US infrastructure. He suggests the conflict may be a pretext for the US to intervene in Mexico to secure strategic silver mines. Bracken argues that Mexico needs a leader like El Salvador's Nayib Bukele to implement harsh measures against the "psychotic" and "death-oriented" cartel culture.
Rare Earth Minerals, China Monopoly, and Silver Market Trends
The discussion shifts to how the US is clawing back control of rare earth minerals from China's 98% monopoly. Dr. Kirk Elliott explains that silver prices saw a 30% drop in five hours due to banks exiting short positions before the new price floors take effect. They project that silver will rebound quickly as the government begins strategic purchasing for the Pentagon and national defense.
Dr. Kirk Elliott, Silver Supply Chain, Venezuela Impact
Economist Dr. Kirk Elliott joins the show to discuss how the conflict in Venezuela has disrupted global silver supply chains, particularly shipping routes from Peru and Africa to Mexican refineries. With silver prices rising toward $82, Elliott predicts a 10-year bull market driven by industrial demand for AI chips and military technology. He notes that it takes over a decade to open new mines, making the current supply shortage a "perfect storm" for precious metals investors.
Silver Price Projections, Industrial Demand, Nvidia
Dr. Kirk Elliott explains that silver is currently in a long-term bull run similar to the 1970s and 2010, triggered by the price of silver exceeding the S&P 500 per share. Despite rising prices, global mining production has actually decreased over the last decade, while demand from companies like Tesla and Nvidia continues to soar. Elliott argues that silver is a "needed" commodity for manufacturing, making its price trajectory more stable than speculative bubbles like cryptocurrency.
China has restricted silver exports to prioritize its own manufacturing, confirming predictions of a strategic minerals arms race. With new mines taking over a decade to develop, silver is expected to see parabolic price increases due to extreme industrial demand and limited supply.
Silver Industrial Demand, Military Use and Supply Shortages
Kirk Elliott makes the case for investing in silver over gold, citing its dual role as a financial and industrial metal. He explains that silver is essential for solar panels, electric vehicles, and military technology, noting that a single ICBM contains roughly 11,000 ounces of silver. Elliott warns that global silver supply is plummeting due to mining challenges while industrial demand is skyrocketing.
Urban Warfare Training, Opium Trade and Book of Revelation
The 20-year occupation of Afghanistan is viewed as a training ground for urban warfare and a means to control the opium trade and silver mining. Some observers see the current global chaos as the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation and the impending judgment of God. The segment concludes with a transition to the War Room with Owen Shroer and the American Journal with Harrison Smith.
