Podcasts about Fort Knox

Stefan Gleason, President and CEO of Money Metals Exchange, joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's really inside Fort Knox - and why central banks just bought 244 tons of gold in 90 days while your dollar quietly dies in your pocket. Here's the part nobody wants audited... the US gold reserves haven't had a legitimate audit in DECADES, 83% of it isn't even pure gold, and the experts say it would take 20 years just to refine it to modern standards. So what happens if we finally open the vault... and it's empty? Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the biggest unanswered question in American finance. We walk you right up to the vault door. Stefan - a guy who runs one of the largest precious metals depositories in North America - explains why the way Washington manages your gold "wouldn't pass muster in any private depository," why the new Fed chairman quietly admitted the government plays in the gold market, and whether the most secure building in America is actually holding what they say it is. The dollar in your pocket is a political tool. They can print it, freeze it, weaponize it, and devalue it overnight by design. Gold and silver? They can't touch. So why do most Americans still own ZERO ounces of either... while central banks around the world quietly stack it by the ton? You'll hear the truth about whether it's too late to buy gold in 2026, the #1 rookie mistake that leaves beginners 50% underwater the second they buy, how to spot a rare-coin scam from a fair deal, and the surprising state-level wins happening right now while DC sleeps - 45 states now exempt gold and silver from sales tax, with Maryland and Alaska being the latest to move.

Börsenlegende Dr. Marc Faber warnt vor manipulierten Inflationszahlen, einer drohenden Aktienblase und zweifelt öffentlich daran, ob die US-Goldreserven in Fort Knox überhaupt noch existieren. Ein Interview, das es in sich hat.

This week, 3 Guys in a Flick are reporting for duty with Goldfinger, the 1964 Bond classic where Sean Connery fully locks into 007 mode and the franchise formula turns to solid gold. From Shirley Bassey's unforgettable theme song to the Aston Martin DB5, Oddjob's deadly hat, Goldfinger's over-the-top villainy, and the legendary Fort Knox finale, the guys break down why this film became the blueprint for generations of Bond movies. They discuss the film's massive blockbuster impact, Guy Hamilton's influence on the Bond/Q dynamic, standout performances from Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, and Harold Sakata, and whether the movie still earns its golden reputation today. Expect spoilers, trivia, gadgets, gold paint, questionable villain decisions, pacing debates, and plenty of shaken-not-stirred banter as Don, John, and Ken take aim at one of the most iconic entries in the James Bond franchise.

The episode kicks off with a unique pest control challenge: termites found on a houseboat. This leads to a discussion on the unusual places infestations can occur and the complexities of dealing with them, especially in a marine environment. The conversation then shifts to unexplained disappearances in national parks, highlighting the lack of evidence in some cases and the theories surrounding them. This is followed by an exploration of the significant financial investment and specialized world of show horses and well-bred dogs, touching on their value, temperaments, and the breeding industry. Finally, the episode delves into governmental mysteries with a look at Fort Knox, questioning the secrecy surrounding its gold reserves and the number of people involved. It also touches upon the secretive Bohemian Club and a viral anecdote about frogs and their environmental impact, wrapping up with a reflection on the unique bond between humans and animals.

The 10-year average falls to 166 inches. Here's the year-by-year breakdown:Trail count: 110 (24% beginner, 25% intermediate, 51% expert)Lift count: 13 (1 pulse gondola, 2 high-speed quads, 2 fixed-grip quads, 4 triples, 1 double, 3 carpets)Why I interviewed himLet's start with a superficially troubling number: Taos' long, steady decline in average annual skier visits:That doesn't look so good, especially when laid alongside the long-term increase in national skier visits:Taos not only declined in the context of national skier visits, but also among its peers. In winter 1983-84, Taos drew more skiers (241,000) than Telluride (132,460), Big Sky (136,000), Jackson Hole (177,000), Whitefish (I'm lacking an estimate for that winter, but the ski area then known as “Big Mountain” logged 209,000 skiers in 1980-81 and 170,581 in 1985-86). Taos (dark blue line below), continued to out-duel this group through about the mid-90s before falling off a cliff:So what happened? 1995 Taos, a freeride mecca before freeride was cool, should have been perfectly suited to flourish in a cultural moment when skiers began demanding more interesting terrain than the groomed superhighways that had become the industry's default setting. Sure, Taos was remote and a bit harder to access than, say, Keystone or Park City, but so were Jackson and Whitefish and Big Sky and Telluride. A partial explanation: Taos stopped modernizing. After replacing the Lift 2 double with a fixed-grip quad in 1994, Taos didn't install another new chairlift for 19 years. The first detachable didn't arrive until 2018. The resort banned snowboards until 2008. Meanwhile, Big Sky laced a tram to the summit of Lone Peak in 1995 and started pushing detachable quads up the mountain; the first high-speed quads arrived at Telluride in 1986 and Whitefish in 1989.It's not a perfect narrative – while Jackson Hole rolled out its short Sublette detach in the mid-90s, the mountain didn't install an upper-mountain high-speed chairlift until Casper in 2012. Skier visits went up and up and up all that time, probably due in large part to aggressive improvements at the Jackson Hole airport.Maybe, though, it's as simple as this: banger snow years descended upon Taos – and New Mexico in general – from the late ‘80s through mid-‘90s. It's little surprise that attendance ups-and-downs largely mirror snowfall patterns:But, as the corresponding trendlines show, Taos' skier visits have not declined at the same rate as the mountain's average annual snowfall. And while Jackson's long-term average snowfall has remained relatively constant, attendance has crept steadily upward. Attendance spiked at both mountains when the 2018-19 season brought both plentiful snow and the introduction of the Ikon Pass:Unfortunately, Taos stopped reporting skier visits after the Covid-shortened 2019-20 season, so we have less concrete insight into whether the mountain's recent investments in a reconfigured beginner area and a second detachable on the backside have insulated it from two historically poor snow years. This is why it's nice to have basic visitation data, and why I'm pushing the ski industry to again publicize annual attendance for ski areas occupying public lands (since going live with a chart of 2,406 years of skier visit data for 97 ski areas with 10 or more years of attendance available, I'm up to 2,822 years across 108 ski areas, and I have a total of 3,802 years of data across 184 active U.S. ski areas for which I could find at least one year of attendance).We do know this: Taos doesn't want to return to the world of 300,000-plus skier visits. Somewhere between 250,000 and 275,000 is the “right number for the experience we want Taos to have,” Kelly tells us on the pod. Meaning: fewer skiers spread via a modern lift network is a better business than 364,000 skiers funneling onto double chairs. This flips the busiest-equals-best narrative that made skier-visit counts a 20th-century bragging point. I've heard the same logic articulated by the leaders of Killington, Waterville Valley, and other ski areas that have created a better business even with fewer skiers on their mountains. Jackson Hole, too, halted its relentless upward surge – that 2020-21 dip was deliberate, as the mountain exited Ikon Base and implemented a reservation system.This approach makes sense to me. With U.S. skier visits surging (until this year) and an Ikon or Epic pass in every pocket, no one wants to brag about being busy anymore. Space is the new volume. Social media can still transform one bad liftline into an eternal meme, but at least most skiers on the ground will have a better day most of the time than they probably would have 30 years ago.What doesn't make sense to me is why, in a less-is-more era, ski area operators have suddenly decided that skier visits should be guarded like Fort Knox. If fewer skiers is a good thing and a stated goal, why hide the numbers? The resorts ought to just say “Hey we've deliberately reduced our annual skier count from 300,000 to 250,000 [or whatever] to create a better mountain for you.” Instead, this secrecy around volume just looks cagey - if national skier visit numbers are up, then why should skiers just believe ski areas when they say “trust us, it's better now,” and offer no data to support it? Perception is reality, and today's skiing zeitgeist, as channeled by social media, tells us that American skiers perceive busier mountains today than they did a decade ago.But I'm getting off track. Since Louis Bacon bought Taos in 2013, he's funded an almost-complete renovation of what had become America's most decrepit destination ski resort. I don't think any mountain operating on U.S. Forest Service lands has more completely remade itself in the past decade (rapidly changing Big Sky, Deer Valley, and Powder Mountain operate on private property). Glimmering new but reset to 1970s volume, Taos is beautifully positioned to tap a skiing public that's burned-out on Colorado and Utah crowds but accustomed to modern lifts and snowmaking.What we talked aboutTaos as a family ski mountain; last winter's Chair 7 upgrade and custom terminals; owner Louis Bacon's mission to “improve everything without changing a thing”; why Taos changed from Skytrac to parent company Leitner-Poma for its newer lifts; Taos' great base-area reorganization; the story behind the Free Tacos run; a green run from the top of every lift other than the fierce Kachina triple; Taos' massive evolution since 2015; whether the mountain is committed to long-term independence; the founding Blake family's legacy and presence at Taos today; executing rapid development on Forest Service land; [VIDEO BONUS: Cat photobombing]; running Taos with the context of having worked at also-independent Telluride; becoming a skier growing up in Nashville, Tennessee; Telluride's evolution from semi-affordable to gigantic housing puzzle; employee housing at Taos; the logic behind the proposed base-to-base gondola and navigating local opposition; thoughts on the evolution of lifts 2 and 8; preserving parts of the hike-to ski experience; Taos' evolution after the Kachina Peak lift; lift 7A; the Minnesotas glades from the masterplan; avalanche mitigation; old-school boot-packing; parking lot evolutions; an ideal annual skier visit number and why that number is below historic highs; and getting to Taos.What I got wrong* When we discuss the wood-paneled terminals on Taos' new Lift 7, I ask if they're thematically related to the “wood RFID gates.” This is a reference to an earlier conversation that I cut, about Taos finally installing RFID for the 2025-26 ski season (the gates carry a wood theme). * I said that the trees skier's left of the Pioneer chair were not a named run, but they in fact are, and “Free Tacos” has a pretty awesome story behind it.* I accidentally asked Kelly to, “lay out the housing landscape for Telluride” but meant to say “Taos.” I didn't catch this in real time, but Kelly – who spent several years at Telluride before moving to Taos in 2015 – caught it and course-corrected.Questions I wished I'd askedTaos' 2010 USFS masterplan proposed a 7,045-foot-long, 2,363-vertical-foot detach quad that would have run parallel to Lift 1 to the top of Lift 2:We did, however, discuss the proposed 545-vertical-foot, 991-foot-long Ridge Lift off of Lift 8, and why Taos nixed that machine from its latest MDP:Why you should (or shouldn't) ski TaosTaos, like Jackson Hole or Snowbird or Palisades Tahoe, has a toughguy reputation. The place ripples with hike-to chutes and glades. To calm visitors shocked by the vertical bump run rocketing skyward beneath Chair 1, Taos to erected this base-area sign decades ago:The sign refers to the infamous Al's Run, which typically ripples with moguls, but was closed on my last visit, in March 2025 (Lift 1 was open):Taos certainly has plenty of nasty. The terrain ripping off the Kachina Peak triple is among the steepest inbounds terrain I'm aware of in America. But what shocked me about the place was how approachable it was for my then-8-year-old son, a solid but very intermediate skier. Every chair other than Kachina offers a top-to-bottom green – and some mostly mellow blues – making Taos one of the better family mountains in America.A lot of the solid-black terrain sits above the lifts, and requires a short, easy hike. If you've ever humped up Catherine's at Alta or Spanky's Ladder on Blackcomb, the ascent off of Lift 2 over to Highline Ridge or West Basin Ridge isn't much longer, and it flattens out considerably after the short incline. Unlike East Wall at A-Basin or Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands, this is hike-up terrain that's approachable for people who (like me), live at sea level and only like going up the mountain on machines. The runs are steep, and solo missions are discouraged, but the easy-in and proximity to lifts means a strong skier could reasonably expect to tuck a half-dozen hike-up laps into an afternoon. Here I am huffing and puffing right off Chair 2:Dang those trees are steep even right off the jump. Crunch crunch crunch:Go up a bit higher, and things get Lord of The Rings pretty fast:Taos' only real buyer-beware statistic is its insane base elevation of 9,350 feet, which makes everything, especially sleep, a bit more challenging. That altitude is actually a bit lower than the bases at Copper (9,712) or Breck (9,600). I start to have trouble functioning around 8,000 feet, which is the Vail (8,120), Snowmass (8,110), Snowbird (7,760), and Mammoth (7,953) range. So maybe see how you do at one of those burners before leveling up above 9,000 feet. Or at least arrive knowing that Taos will try punching you in the face. Hydrate and lay off the beer bongs for a day or two. You'll be fine.Podcast NotesOn Stadeli liftsWe've got 16 of these guys left across 10 U.S. ski areas, including Lift 7A at Taos:On the character of old chairliftsI wrote last year that U.S. ski lifts' overall design aesthetic has deteriorated with the decline in number of manufacturers and a tacit emphasis on technology over beauty.And I love old Riblets and Halls and Yans, but sentimentalism that locks skiing in a time capsule ultimately stalls long-term growth and invites disaster-by-disintegration. Rather than fight to live in a museum, I've adopted a quest mentality to ride as many of these dinosaurs as I can before they go extinct:On Taos' base-area fliparoundOn Taos' current masterplanHere's the conceptual overview of Taos' 2021 U.S. Forest Service master development plan:The major unrealized part of this is the base-to-base gondola - here's the most recent plan for that lift:On “class A avalanche mountains” with more than 200 slidepathsKelly mentioned that Taos' more than 200 slidepaths earn it the designation of a Class A avalanche mountain. I of course went looking for a list of U.S. ski areas so classified, and of course did not find one. In a rare exercise in self-restraint, however, I also did not create one. A quick Google search suggests that that such a list would include Alta, Kirkwood, and Stevens Pass alongside Taos. I would also assume that Alpine Meadows, Palisades, Mammoth, Snowbird, Big Sky, Silverton, and Crested Butte are among the most avy prone. That is not a complete list or an attempt at one so please don't write that I “forgot about” some particularly avalanche-prone mountain that I'm not trying very hard to remember.On The Storm's first Taos podcastThe Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the "flippening" of gold and treasuries as we see for the first time ever, gold making up a larger percentage of foreign reserves than US treasuries. The European Central Bank reported this week that gold has overtaken US treasuries internationally. Gold holdings are at 27% while US treasuries are at 22%. This is a sign of a massive shift away from the US hegemony system while at the same time a sign of a massive move towards gold and precious metals in general. In this video, Mark delves into what this actually means to treasuries, the US economy and of course gold and silver. Simultaneously we have once again word from President Trump that he wants a full physical audit of Fort Knox. This comes as multiple countries attempt to repatriate their gold. This includes France which interestingly was a major reason the US went off the gold standard in the 1970s into the fiat system. President Charles de Gaulle in 1969 demanded France's gold back. The US didn't actually have that gold. Nixon paid them back in debt during the transfer into the fiat system. Interesting to see such history rhyme in this way. It is highly unlikely Fort Knox has the gold they claim they do. This could lead to the market recognizing vast volumes of scarcity. What does all of this mean for you?

A century ago, when depositors lost confidence in a bank, they'd rush to withdraw their cash. In 1971, US president Richard Milhous Nixon faced a similar dilemma. But his problem wasn't ordinary citizens fearing for their savings. Instead, it was America's closest allies who were nervously eyeing the dwindling supply of gold in Fort Knox at a time when the dollar's value was tied to gold and allies' currencies were in turn tied to the dollar. And just like a beleaguered bank manager of yore, Nixon chose to shut America's doors to further withdrawals. His decision threatened to pull the plug on the entire international monetary system established at Bretton Woods in 1944. It was so unexpected and outrageous, it became known as the “Nixon Shock”. In the first of two episodes on the topic, hosts Gillian Tett and Robin Wigglesworth get the story from economist and ex-financier Jeffrey Garten – a man with a CV so long that he once even worked for the Nixon administration himself.Further reading:Three Days at Camp David: How a Secret Meeting in 1971 Transformed the Global Economy, by Jeffrey E Garten (2021)Gold and the dollar crisis, by Robert Triffin (1960)Credits: Getty Images, the Richard Nixon Presidential LibraryTo enjoy future episodes, be sure to subscribe to The Story of Money wherever you get your podcasts, also on the show's dedicated YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@FTTheStoryOfMoneyHosts: Gillian Tett and Robin WigglesworthProducer: Laurence KnightExecutive Producer: Manuela SaragosaOriginal music: Breen TurnerBroadcast engineers: Bianca Wakeman and Petros GioumpasisPodcast Development: Laura ClarkeVideo editor: Kristen Kenyon and Josh Divney at Podcast DiscoveryLearn more at www.ft.com/tsom or get in touch at thestoryofmoney@ft.com.Read a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast.

The Fort Knox audit may be the spark—but not the real fire. America's gold problem just got harder to ignore because the real issue may not be buried inside Fort Knox. It may be hiding in plain sight on the U.S. Treasury balance sheet. Why does the U.S. government still value its gold at $42.22 per ounce when the market price is thousands of dollars higher?Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

On today's episode, we discuss everything from haunted houses and immigration law to sewage mysteries in New York, all with Madeline in the legal hot seat and the regular crew chiming in. The show opens with a deep dive into Stambovski v. Ackley, the famous “haunted house” case, using it to explain the difference between legal defects, caveat emptor, and equitable remedies like rescission when a buyer discovers the home's ghostly reputation only after signing. From there, the conversation shifts to a bizarre asylum story about an illegal immigrant from a Muslim country claiming to be gay, raising tough questions about how persecution-based claims are proved, sham marriages for citizenship, and the line between genuine protected classes and convenient identities. In the middle segment, they lighten things up with a long riff on coffee culture and local shops, then pivot to Tina Peters' commuted sentence, housing bubbles in Tampa and Ruston, college baseball taunting, and Pizza Hut's planned return to its 1980s sit‑down restaurant model after a franchisee's retro experiment reportedly doubled sales. The episode closes with a series of rapid‑fire news hits: a suspicious group of men entering and exiting a New York manhole at night, speculation about what could be done to a city via its sewers, questions about trillions in government asset forfeitures and undervalued Fort Knox gold, and cautious optimism about a promising new pill in human trials for pancreatic cancer. Don't miss it!

Chris Paul delivers a full argument: if you pass everything in one bill and you don't care about the midterms, the logical conclusion is that Trump never trusted congress and never intended to rely on it. The Atlantic's "Trump might already be a lame duck" article gets a thorough dissection as pure narrative seeding, with the guys noting that the outlet is simultaneously running Trump collapse and Trump dominance stories in the same news cycle because they genuinely do not know what the results will be. The NDAA Section 224 US/Israel defense cooperation provision gets a fair reading, with Jon pushing back on the viral "full merger" framing and arguing it is disclosure of an already existing relationship. The Ken Paxton Texas win raises the age of Trump vs. age of Trumpism question. The aliens.gov rug pull, the summer ICE protest cycle, CIA gold bars, Fort Knox, and Polymarket as a measurement of narrative consumption round out the show.

Matthias Braun, Mainz, Evangelische Kirche: Gott öffnet sein Fort Knox!

Savage evaluates President Trump's record through a self-styled "Trump scorecard," grading key campaign promises, successes, or unfinished business. He offers concern about the war with Iran, the growing national debt, the failure to abolish the IRS, unresolved conflicts in Ukraine, unreleased Epstein and JFK files, the lack of a Fort Knox audit, and what he sees as a failure to hold officials accountable for past scandals. At the same time, he credits Trump with creating DOGE, exposing an estimated $300 billion in government waste, and securing the border without additional spending.

According to Daily NK, the regime ordered local officials to stop street vendors from selling rice above a state-imposed ceiling. This action was in response to rice prices rising above 30,000 North Korean won ($33.33) per kilogram. Officials and undercover agents are now inspecting markets, checking sellers' account books, and confiscating rice from those accused of charging too much. Traders are responding by pulling rice from public stalls and selling it privately from homes or other hidden locations. For North Koreans, the state's actions make rice harder to find and more expensive.

Broadcasting live from hole 15 at the Maple River Golf Course in Mapleton, North Dakota, host Scott dials in a unique, mobile "broadcast-beer cart" experience for the Red River Valley Fair Foundation's sold-out annual tournament. In a jam-packed episode that seamlessly shifts from local philanthropy to international dynamics, Scott sits down with two major candidates fighting for the future of Minnesota ahead of this weekend's critical Republican endorsing convention in Duluth: House Speaker Lisa Demuth and candidate Kendall Qualls. Both pull back the curtain on their blueprints to dismantle "Minneapolis-itis," establish law and order, and rescue the state's plummeting school systems. The episode takes an elite detour into global economics, featuring custom clips from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant's White House cabinet address, highlighting record-breaking tax season statistics, Main Street wage gains, and the launch of the highly anticipated "Trump Accounts." Plus, financial guru David Fisher from Landmark Gold sounds a historical alarm on global stagflation, China's push to lower the US dollar, and President Trump's looming mandate to execute the first audit of the physical gold holdings at Fort Knox since 1953. Finally, Red River Valley Fair CEO Cody Cashman and event director Aaron Fos check in to detail the inspiring Livestock Enrichment Program—which allows local city kids to house, raise, and sell animals at the fair for college savings—while previewing a massive 75-foot grandstand stage and a nightly patriotic drone show imported directly from Sydney, Australia.

If the IRS goes ahead and gives in to Donald Trump's demands for a MAGA slush fund, it would be outright theft of the public's money and corruption on a scale that we've never even contemplated in this country.

But just as the pair lands a special tour to the top-secret gold vault, a couple of mysterious Fort Knox enthusiasts throw a wrench in their plans.

The gold revaluation question is back in the headlines after President Trump again raised the idea of going to Fort Knox to see whether America's gold is still there. Trump said he wanted to “see if the gold is there” and questioned whether it had been left untouched, reviving a debate that has haunted U.S. monetary policy for decades.Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

When most of us hear of Fort Knox, we think of gold.  While gold is there, there is much more to the story, for this...

Today, we are joined by Philip Diehl, former Director of the United States Mint and President of U.S. Money Reserve, for a timely conversation about gold's renewed role in a world shaped by inflation, geopolitical stress, central bank demand, and uncertainty around fiat currencies. Philip explains why gold's recent rise is not simply a speculative move, but part of a broader shift in how governments, institutions, and individuals think about wealth preservation. From central bank buying and Chinese retail demand to Bitcoin, ETFs, physical coins, and the limits of the U.S. dollar system, this episode explores why gold is once again moving from the margins of portfolios toward the center of the macro conversation.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Philip on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why Philip Diehl believes investors should “buy the dip” in gold01:14 - Philip's career from public policy to the U.S. Mint06:08 - What U.S. Money Reserve does and why physical gold matters08:08 - The forces behind gold's powerful multi-year rally13:08 - Central bank buying, dollar risk, and portfolio diversification19:05 - Why some central banks may sell gold during stress22:18 - Chinese demand, cultural memory, and the role of retail buyers28:32 - Why Philip does not see Bitcoin as “digital gold”32:44 - Physical gold versus ETFs and the question of ownership37:10 - How retail investors behave during gold bull markets41:16 - Portfolio allocation and the changing case for gold45:52 - Why Philip expects gold to outperform equities over the next decade48:15 - Why today's gold market is not a repeat of the 1970s52:21 - Gold miners, production limits, and rising extraction costs55:58 - Fort Knox, revaluing U.S. gold reserves, and political reality59:24 - Lessons from Philip's career and how to learn more about goldCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Everyone knows that much of the nation's gold is at Fort Knox.  Or is it?  That's the question many wondered a few decades back…

The bulk of the US gold reserves held in Fort Knox are made up of impure “non-standard” bars that don't qualify for use in international settlements.Original article: https://mises.org/power-market/ft-knox-full-impure-gold-unfit-international-transactions

You've heard of the gold at Fort Knox, and while we can't go inside the vault, we do know much about the beginnings of that...

Beth thought everything was smooth with her man Beau…until his CAR started talking.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a funny podcast accidentally unlocks a new fear you didn't need — flying.The crew kicks things off with a ridiculous song lyric bit that spirals into one of the most chaotic episode starts in recent memory, before immediately taking a hard left turn into a real-life airplane disaster story that is… honestly nightmare fuel. We're talking about a plane losing part of its roof mid-flight, passengers staring directly into the sky at 24,000 feet, and the kind of “what would you do?” conversation that somehow turns both scientific and wildly inappropriate.Naturally, this funny podcast doesn't stay serious for long. The conversation quickly shifts into classic Rizz Show territory — debating whether you'd survive a fall from the sky (spoiler: probably not), questioning airplane bathroom timing like it's life or death, and imagining the worst-case scenarios with just enough humor to make it okay… kind of.Then it's time for “Crap On Celebrities,” where the crew digs into everything from Justin Timberlake's alleged ongoing drama to Taylor Swift locking down her voice like it's Fort Knox in the age of AI. There's also a deep dive into movie theater chaos — specifically people turning biopics into full-blown concerts — which sparks a debate that will absolutely divide listeners between “sit down and shut up” and “let people have fun.”And because no episode is complete without a little unhinged energy, Steven Seagal becomes the unexpected villain of the day, with story after story painting him as the coworker nobody asked for but everyone somehow survived.Add in overpriced movie tickets, OnlyFans million-dollar stories, superhero movie debates, and the usual off-the-rails tangents, and you've got a funny podcast episode that perfectly captures what The Rizzuto Show does best — turning everyday topics into absolute chaos.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And that's the doorway into today's theme: dismissing distortions. Not just correcting them, not just debating them, but dragging them into the sunlight like a raccoon that's been living too comfortably in the attic of American politics.Because those 51 experts weren't an anomaly.

He detonated a narrative. The so-called cabal, the machine, whatever label you want to use, had been humming along for decades, and suddenly somebody unplugged it mid-sentence.

Democrats like to put a number on their lies.Somewhere along the line, we were taught to stop asking whether these people actually knew anything, and instead just trusted the lanyard around their neck like it came with divine certification. Democrats love to put numbers with their lies…Fifty-one intelligence experts told us a laptop wasn't real. Not “we're not sure,” not “still investigating,” but full-throated, choir-level certainty. 130 climate scientists12 former generalsAnd that's the doorway into today's theme: dismissing distortions. Not just correcting them, not just debating them, but dragging them into the sunlight like a raccoon that's been living too comfortably in the attic of American politics.Because those 51 experts weren't an anomaly. They were a prototype. A beta test of how confidently wrong you can be if your job depends on staying wrong.Think about it. We were told elections are secure.

Garrison Commander Col Dave Holstead stops by to talk about the events at Ft. Knox.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 15, 2026 is: mayhem • MAY-hem • noun Mayhem refers to needless or willful damage or violence, and especially to a scene or situation that involves a lot of violence. In figurative use, it may refer to any instance of excited activity. // The director's newest thriller is brimming with murder and mayhem. See the entry > Examples: "The storage space is a veritable Fort Knox safe from tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and all manner of mischief and mayhem, where the 68-degree temperature and 45% humidity are ideal for preserving paper and film." — Lisa Gutierrez, The Kansas City Star, 3 Mar. 2026 Did you know? Legally speaking, mayhem refers to the gruesome crime of deliberately causing an injury that permanently disfigures another. The word comes via Middle English from the Anglo-French verb maheimer ("to maim") and is probably of Germanic origin; the English verb maim comes from the same ancestor. The "disfigurement" sense of mayhem first appeared in English in the 15th century. Centuries later, the word came to refer to any kind of violent behavior. Nowadays, mayhem is frequently used to suggest any kind of chaos or disorder, even in far less fraught circumstances, as in "there was mayhem on the field after the winning goal was scored."

We don't really know what's inside the Fort Knox gold depository because the government refuses to do a comprehensive audit. But even if we take the government's claims at face value, we do know that the bulk of the U.S. gold reserves is made up of impure "non-standard" bars that don't qualify for use in international settlements.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo, Mike Maharrey explains the Fort Knox audit problem, how all that impure gold got there, and why it matters. Along the way, he also underscores the failure of the fiat money system.  This week, Mike also covers an interesting move by the Chinese that could exacerbate shortages in the physical silver market.

Watch the Devotion Based on 1 Peter 1:3-9 Hope because He Lives At 0430 the first boom sounded over the water. Over 4,000 booms would be heard the next 34 hours over Charleston Harbor as confederate artillery rounds pounded Fort Sumter on this date, April 12, 1861. Four years later almost three quarters of a million people lost their lives. Can you imagine the entire population of Denver, CO perishing within four years?   I won't enumerate the numbers of American lives lost in wars, conflicts and terrorist attacks since then. As I reflect on this and the lives lost in the current conflict in the Middle East I am reminded of Jesus' words, “There will be wars and rumors of wars until the day I come back to earth.” This can lead to a spirit of despair, thoughts of inevitability – there will always be a need for armed forces. We will always need brave men and women to raise their right hand and say, “I will prepare for war and go to war if need be.” I will always be thankful for you and at the same time I will be sad that we need military at all. I will pray for peace, but Jesus says there will be war. I will pray that lives are spared, but people will die as they always have. That makes some wonder, “Could I die that way, in war, in combat, even as a civilian, could it happen I die because of collateral damage?” Sometimes life feels hopeless.   You and I need to look at our hopeless situation, the world situation, through Jesus' words as he speaks through Apostle Peter, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). Hope. Not so much a “I really hope my paperwork goes through today”, but a “I hope, I know for certain this thing that God my Father promised me will happen.”   The sure and certain thing? Jesus died. Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus lives today, in a very real, physical way. Your sure and certain reality, your living hope, is this: no matter how you die, and you will someday, I will die someday, because Jesus lives, we, too shall live. We have a resurrection from the dead. Peter describes it this way, “. . . This inheritance is kept in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4). You have an inheritance because someone died. Jesus died. But he came back to life and lives so that you might know and believe with living hope: this resurrection from the dead is yours right now, kept in a safe place, safer than the Fort Knox depository, and not even civil war, not even WWIII, not even death can take it from you. That is the hope you have because a dead man came back to life and lives for you.   Prayer: Heavenly Father, in a world of wars and rumors of wars, we confess our hearts grow heavy with despair. Yet you have raised Jesus from the dead, and in him you have secured for us a living hope — an inheritance no grave can snatch away. We give you thanks for those who serve in our nation’s military, who stand watch so others may sleep in peace. Sustain them in body and soul. Remind all of us that because Jesus lives, we too shall live. In his victorious name we pray. Amen.  Written and recorded by Rev.

Built to defend Maine from an invasion that never came, Fort Knox became a granite monument to fear, pride, and a war that had already passed it by. But inside its cold stone corridors, visitors still report drifting tobacco smoke, heavy footsteps, shadow figures, and the voice of a child calling for her mother... as if the fort has spent all these years guarding something far older than the river.

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm joined by Jim Zimmerman, Founder & Fund Manager, and Abby Zimmerman, Research Analyst, of Lowell Capital Management to talk about their disciplined small-cap strategy built around what they call the “Fort Knox” balance sheet. At its core, it's about owning resilient, cash-generative businesses with little to no debt—companies that can not only survive volatility but use it to their advantage. We dive into why they focus on operating cash flow over EBITDA, how they hunt for overlooked “boring” niche leaders trading at value prices, what they look for in management teams, and why constant re-underwriting—“buy and homework,” not just buy and hold—is critical to long-term compounding in microcaps. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.
