Vince explains the importance of setting up a gold-convertible exchange and how the supply and demand of gold is moving east. He also explains how the West is combatting this by forcing pricing in dollars, while Saudi Arabia and other BRICs are pricing in Brent. They discuss in depth the factors at play in the war of currencies and sanctions from a geopolitical perspective, and Luongo says the dumbest thing Trump ever did was putting shock and awe sanctions on Iran. They also discuss the free market, the MI6, and the US's weak ground game in Russia.

The conversation then turns to the future of global currencies in light of the BRICS+ meeting in August. Tom believes it is an incremental shift and not any major change, and is more worried about something like a false flag that would put the world beyond a point of no return. Vince wants to talk about the note about the German central bank needing a bailout, and Tom believes Europe marking their gold to market is a negotiation or bluff. He also finds it interesting that the SOFR futures indicates that the Federal Reserve is not likely to pivot before the end of the year. Vince argues that some form of inflation must happen in order for the private insurance and pension systems to be fixed.

Lastly, Vince says prepare for the worst but notes that things will probably play out slowly.
