- People may ask, how did gary get into this?
- 00:02:00.076 --> 00:02:02.345
- You founded the foundation
- 00:02:02.345 --> 00:02:03.846
- In 2011, but your role back in 94
- 00:02:03.846 --> 00:02:06.783
- As lieutenant dan, that really sparked the interest
- 00:02:06.783 --> 00:02:09.752
- And the passion in you, right, for supporting our veterans?
- 00:02:09.752 --> 00:02:13.990
- I think that was one yeah, definitely
- 00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:16.426
- One of the one of the keys there.
- 00:02:16.426 --> 00:02:19.762
- I was i got involved in, let's see,
- 00:02:19.762 --> 00:02:22.532
- 94 with the disabled american veterans.
- 00:02:22.532 --> 00:02:25.902
- After playing lieutenant dan and forrest gump and,
- 00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:28.972
- You know,
- 00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:29.839
- I met a lot of a lot of wounded folks
- 00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:31.241
- Going all the way back to world war two and all the way
- 00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:33.843
- Up to the gulf war at that at that time.
- 00:02:33.843 --> 00:02:36.379
- Yeah.
- 00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:37.547
- And, you know, that impacted me a lot, just meeting them
- 00:02:37.547 --> 00:02:40.984
- And seeing, you know, what showing up can do.
- 00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:43.720
- And so i wanted to show up some more and show up some more.
- 00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:46.356
- And then after september 11th, you know,
- 00:02:46.356 --> 00:02:48.992
- When we deployed to iraq and afghanistan, i just felt
- 00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:52.695
- Called
- 00:02:52.695 --> 00:02:53.730
- To kind of get out there and and make sure our
- 00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:57.233
- Our folks that were serving knew that they were appreciated
- 00:02:57.233 --> 00:03:01.371
- And that we weren't forgetting about them.
- 00:03:01.371 --> 00:03:02.972
- Gary, can you talk about we know about the physical wounds.
- 00:03:02.972 --> 00:03:05.408
- Obviously,
- 00:03:05.408 --> 00:03:06.709
- There's psychological issues to a lot of times guys come home
- 00:03:06.709 --> 00:03:09.979
- And they're dealing with the trauma of war.
- 00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:12.148
- Can you talk about some of the challenges our veterans face?
- 00:03:12.148 --> 00:03:15.385
- Well, it's very, very challenging.
- 00:03:15.385 --> 00:03:17.754
- Transitioning from the military
- 00:03:17.754 --> 00:03:19.656
- To the civilian sector is very challenging,
- 00:03:19.656 --> 00:03:22.125
- Obviously, for a lot of people
- 00:03:22.125 --> 00:03:23.426
- That have been in the service for a long time.
- 00:03:23.426 --> 00:03:26.329
- But coming home
- 00:03:26.329 --> 00:03:26.996
- From deployments,
- 00:03:26.996 --> 00:03:27.797
- Multiple deployments over the years,
- 00:03:27.797 --> 00:03:29.565
- I've just seen a lot of people
- 00:03:29.565 --> 00:03:30.733
- Struggle with all kinds of things.
- 00:03:30.733 --> 00:03:32.235
- And then, of course, after the withdrawal in afghanistan,
- 00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:36.172
- When that that happened and it was it was poorly managed
- 00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:40.243
- And we lost people during that withdrawal
- 00:03:40.243 --> 00:03:43.880
- That the country was handed back to the taliban after 20 years.
- 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:47.784
- You have a lot of afghanistan
- 00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:49.118
- Veterans that are struggling with that.
- 00:03:49.118 --> 00:03:51.387
- So in the gary sinise foundation, we provide
- 00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:54.057
- Mental wellness initiatives.
- 00:03:54.057 --> 00:03:56.426
- We have a lot of programs addressing these things
- 00:03:56.426 --> 00:03:58.728
- Because it's a very serious problem.
- 00:03:58.728 --> 00:04:01.431
- Also housing.
- 00:04:01.431 --> 00:04:02.432
- Gary, talk about the smart homes
- 00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:04.334
- Initiative that the gary sinise foundation is pushing forward.
- 00:04:04.334 --> 00:04:10.239
- Years ago, i was approached by
- 00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:14.877
- Some folks in new york city who wanted to build
- 00:04:14.877 --> 00:04:18.481
- A specially adapted smart technology
- 00:04:18.481 --> 00:04:22.585
- Mortgage free home for the first
- 00:04:22.585 --> 00:04:27.523
- Surviving quadruple amputee.
- 00:04:27.523 --> 00:04:30.059
- And there was a soldier who was injured in iraq in 2009.
- 00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:35.798
- He lost both his arms and both his legs.
- 00:04:35.798 --> 00:04:38.568
- And so i volunteered to raise money by
- 00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:43.339
- Donating my band there
- 00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:45.174
- To do a concert, to raise money to build this special house.
- 00:04:45.174 --> 00:04:48.611
- And that led to another house for another quadruple amputee.
- 00:04:48.611 --> 00:04:51.848
- And then three more after that and then
- 00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:54.751
- Many more wounded after that and eventually
- 00:04:54.751 --> 00:04:58.287
- It was the catalyst for the creation of a program
- 00:04:58.287 --> 00:05:01.791
- At the gary sinise foundation called rise
- 00:05:01.791 --> 00:05:04.861
- Restoring independence, supporting empowerment.
- 00:05:04.861 --> 00:05:08.431
- We want to empower
- 00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:10.133
- These veterans who have been severely injured
- 00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:12.902
- In battle to be more independent in their home.
- 00:05:12.902 --> 00:05:16.172
- And when they're more independent,
- 00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:17.640
- Their family is more independent.
- 00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:19.442
- So we have provided nearly 100
- 00:05:19.442 --> 00:05:22.678
- Specially adapted mortgage free homes.
- 00:05:22.678 --> 00:05:25.348
- We're very, very badly wounded folks
- 00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:28.351
- Who have given a lot for our country.
- 00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:30.052
- So the gary sinise foundation, that's our program
- 00:05:30.052 --> 00:05:33.389
- Rise, restoring independent, supporting empowerment.
- 00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:36.526
- And we're helping a lot of people through that program.
- 00:05:36.526 --> 00:05:40.229
- Folks, you see gary's website there on your screen.
- 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:42.565
- Be sure to check it out
- 00:05:42.565 --> 00:05:43.699
- And see how you can support our brave veterans.
- 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:46.903
- Coming up after the break, gary
- 00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:48.271
- Isn't just honoring our nation's heroes.
- 00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:50.573
- He's actively stepping in to support them
- 00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:53.643
- When disaster strikes like the devastating wildfires
- 00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:56.813
- In california,
- 00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:58.014
- First responders put everything on the line to save lives.
- 00:05:58.014 --> 00:06:02.251
- But who's there for them when the smoke clears?
- 00:06:02.251 --> 00:06:05.855
- Gary shares how he's making a real difference and why
- 00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:08.758
- Living a life of purpose matters now more than ever.
- 00:06:08.758 --> 00:06:13.095
- That's next.
- 00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:18.008
- That's next.
- 00:06:18.008 --> 00:06:21.405
- Welcome back to stakelbecktonight.
- 00:06:22.172 --> 00:06:23.807
- In recent years, california has faced
- 00:06:23.807 --> 00:06:26.777
- Some of the most destructive
- 00:06:26.777 --> 00:06:28.278
- Wildfires in its history, devastating communities
- 00:06:28.278 --> 00:06:31.815
- And putting incredible strain on first responders
- 00:06:31.815 --> 00:06:35.319
- Who risked everything
- 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.587
- To protect lives and property even after the flames died down.
- 00:06:36.587 --> 00:06:40.424
- The recovery process is long and difficult,
- 00:06:40.424 --> 00:06:43.594
- And many firefighters, police officers and emergency crews
- 00:06:43.594 --> 00:06:47.598
- Are left to pick up the pieces with little support.
- 00:06:47.598 --> 00:06:50.734
- But one man who has never forgotten
- 00:06:50.734 --> 00:06:52.970
- Their sacrifice is academy award nominated actor
- 00:06:52.970 --> 00:06:55.973
- Gary sinise through the gary sinise foundation.
- 00:06:55.973 --> 00:06:59.142
- He has been on the frontlines providing aid to first
- 00:06:59.142 --> 00:07:02.779
- Responders and their families when they need it most.
- 00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:06.617
- Here's more
- 00:07:06.617 --> 00:07:08.952
- Place you spent a lot of time through your career.
- 00:07:08.952 --> 00:07:10.854
- Southern california, obviously the wildfires recently.
- 00:07:10.854 --> 00:07:14.725
- Any news there that you know of in terms of what
- 00:07:14.725 --> 00:07:17.794
- They were facing?
- 00:07:17.794 --> 00:07:18.729
- First responders battling those wildfires?
- 00:07:18.729 --> 00:07:21.231
- That was a horrific scene.
- 00:07:21.231 --> 00:07:24.635
- Yeah, i've been to both the palisades
- 00:07:24.635 --> 00:07:28.472
- Where they lost hundreds if not thousands of homes in there.
- 00:07:28.472 --> 00:07:32.543
- And also altadena.
- 00:07:32.543 --> 00:07:34.011
- I went there to both places.
- 00:07:34.011 --> 00:07:36.380
- We have a program at the gary sinise
- 00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:37.948
- Foundation called serving heroes.
- 00:07:37.948 --> 00:07:40.984
- We provide free meals for firefighters,
- 00:07:40.984 --> 00:07:43.620
- Police officers, military personnel.
- 00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:46.823
- We go to the hospitals.
- 00:07:46.823 --> 00:07:47.858
- We do that.
- 00:07:47.858 --> 00:07:48.992
- It's not so much about the food, you know, the free food
- 00:07:48.992 --> 00:07:52.896
- That they get
- 00:07:52.896 --> 00:07:54.131
- As it as it is about the message of support and appreciation
- 00:07:54.131 --> 00:07:57.401
- And remembrance for what they're doing.
- 00:07:57.401 --> 00:07:59.403
- It really was a devastating firestorm there.
- 00:07:59.403 --> 00:08:03.373
- And we just want those firefighters
- 00:08:03.373 --> 00:08:04.942
- And first responders
- 00:08:04.942 --> 00:08:06.009
- And the national guard folks that are out there,
- 00:08:06.009 --> 00:08:08.445
- Police officers that responded to that.
- 00:08:08.445 --> 00:08:10.447
- We want them to know we appreciate them.
- 00:08:10.447 --> 00:08:12.382
- Gary, you're doing god's work, no doubt.
- 00:08:12.382 --> 00:08:14.251
- You're a man of faith. you're also a man of purpose.
- 00:08:14.251 --> 00:08:16.720
- You've talked a lot about that in your book, grateful american.
- 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.423

- 00:08:54.491 --> 00:08:55.459
- Very rare cancer called cordoba in 2018.
- 00:08:55.459 --> 00:08:59.296
- And it really knocked our socks off.
- 00:08:59.296 --> 00:09:02.633
- He had his initial tumor taken off his spine
- 00:09:02.633 --> 00:09:06.203
- In september of 2018, and we were hoping that
- 00:09:06.203 --> 00:09:11.274
- They got it all and it wouldn't come back.
- 00:09:11.274 --> 00:09:13.210
- But unfortunately, about eight months later they told us
- 00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:16.380
- The cancer's come back and it was spreading now
- 00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:20.050
- And there's no drugs
- 00:09:20.050 --> 00:09:22.519
- That have been developed to fight this particular cancer.
- 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.057
- You fight it with radiation, chemo,
- 00:09:27.057 --> 00:09:30.627
- Other cancer, chemo, medications,
- 00:09:30.627 --> 00:09:34.798
- Surgery.
- 00:09:34.798 --> 00:09:36.266
- Mac had multiple surgeries.
- 00:09:36.266 --> 00:09:38.001
- He was an excellent drummer.
- 00:09:38.001 --> 00:09:40.937
- He was disabled by the cancer.
- 00:09:40.937 --> 00:09:42.706
- He was paralyzed from the chest down.
- 00:09:42.706 --> 00:09:44.474
- He really had to put music away and just fight cancer.
- 00:09:44.474 --> 00:09:47.811
- But the beginning of the year of 2023,
- 00:09:47.811 --> 00:09:51.381
- He said to me, dad, there's a piece of music
- 00:09:51.381 --> 00:09:53.383
- I wrote in college that i never finished,
- 00:09:53.383 --> 00:09:55.719
- And i'm thinking, i want to finish it.
- 00:09:55.719 --> 00:09:57.554
- And he hadn't been focusing on music
- 00:09:57.554 --> 00:09:59.356
- Because he's in a hospital bed, he's in a wheelchair.
- 00:09:59.356 --> 00:10:02.192
- He's just
- 00:10:02.192 --> 00:10:03.393
- Trying to get through the daily grind of fighting cancer.
- 00:10:03.393 --> 00:10:06.430
- And so when he said that, i was like, all in favor.
- 00:10:06.430 --> 00:10:09.299
- Yeah.
- 00:10:09.299 --> 00:10:10.400
- And he went to work with a buddy of his, oliver schnee,
- 00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:12.402
- Who was a fellow composer at that usc music school,
- 00:10:12.402 --> 00:10:17.541
- And they finished this piece called arctic circles.
- 00:10:17.541 --> 00:10:21.311
- Beautiful, beautiful music.
- 00:10:21.311 --> 00:10:22.713
- I was blown away by that.
- 00:10:22.713 --> 00:10:25.348
- It took on a life of its own.
- 00:10:25.348 --> 00:10:26.950
- And then max said, hey, let's create a whole album.
- 00:10:26.950 --> 00:10:29.619
- So he wanted to make a whole album.
- 00:10:29.619 --> 00:10:32.155
- So he did an album that he called resurrection and revival,
- 00:10:32.155 --> 00:10:37.160
- And he was resurrecting an old piece of music and reviving it,
- 00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:40.931
- Giving it new life.
- 00:10:40.931 --> 00:10:42.599
- He wanted to you know, the theme of that of the of the album
- 00:10:42.599 --> 00:10:46.603
- Is kind of taking something old and making it new again.
- 00:10:46.603 --> 00:10:50.373
- So he plays harmonica on amazing grace, and he
- 00:10:50.373 --> 00:10:53.744
- He does his own version of the star-spangled banner
- 00:10:53.744 --> 00:10:56.513
- On this record, playing harmonica on it.
- 00:10:56.513 --> 00:11:00.050
- It's a gorgeous record.
- 00:11:00.050 --> 00:11:01.852
- After he died, he he never saw it.
- 00:11:01.852 --> 00:11:05.255
- He never saw the album, the actual album.
- 00:11:05.255 --> 00:11:07.424
- He wanted to create some vinyl to be able to give to people.
- 00:11:07.424 --> 00:11:10.727
- He never actually saw it, but he heard all the music.
- 00:11:10.727 --> 00:11:13.663
- And after he died, i found all this other music
- 00:11:13.663 --> 00:11:16.700
- In his files that he had written and tucked away.
- 00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:19.669
- Some i'd heard, but a lot of it i hadn't.
- 00:11:19.669 --> 00:11:22.806
- And so i went to work and said, for mac,
- 00:11:22.806 --> 00:11:30.213
- Yeah,
- 00:11:30.213 --> 00:11:31.748
- I'm going to.
- 00:11:31.748 --> 00:11:33.717
- I'm going to produce resurrection and revival part
- 00:11:33.717 --> 00:11:36.553
- Two for him.
- 00:11:36.553 --> 00:11:38.688
- And that that has recently come out.
- 00:11:38.688 --> 00:11:42.392
- The albums themselves, the vinyls are being sold
- 00:11:42.392 --> 00:11:45.562

- Foundation. he worked for the foundation
- 00:11:51.034 --> 00:11:53.703

- 00:12:12.622 --> 00:12:14.958
- I miss him more than i can articulate.
- 00:12:14.958 --> 00:12:17.961
- He's such a talented young guy and the apple doesn't fall
- 00:12:17.961 --> 00:12:21.097
- Far from the tree in that regard.
- 00:12:21.097 --> 00:12:22.699
- Gary and i want you to know
- 00:12:22.699 --> 00:12:23.700
- You probably know this, but millions of people,
- 00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:26.069
- Quite literally, our viewers of tbn, were praying
- 00:12:26.069 --> 00:12:28.872
- For you and your family throughout everything with mac.
- 00:12:28.872 --> 00:12:31.842

- Thanks for sharing that.
- 00:12:34.845 --> 00:12:36.046
- And gary, lastly, you're a very busy guy,
- 00:12:36.046 --> 00:12:38.348
- Even though you haven't acted in a few years.
- 00:12:38.348 --> 00:12:39.983
- We miss you on the big screen, in the small screen.
- 00:12:39.983 --> 00:12:42.285
- But what's next?
- 00:12:42.285 --> 00:12:43.220
- What do you have lined up next?
- 00:12:43.220 --> 00:12:44.421
- Now you're traveling a bit with the lieutenant dan band.
- 00:12:44.421 --> 00:12:46.790
- Obviously, the foundation is very busy.
- 00:12:46.790 --> 00:12:48.758

- 00:12:48.758 --> 00:12:50.760

- That may come to fruition sometime next year.
- 00:12:58.869 --> 00:13:03.106
- In the meantime, i'm continuing to take the band

- Was there where i bring my band and we bring food and we get
- 00:13:14.351 --> 00:13:17.420
- Get the patients out of the hospital.
- 00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:18.955
- That's one of the programs at the gary sinise foundation.
- 00:13:18.955 --> 00:13:22.492
- I have several different tours between now
- 00:13:22.492 --> 00:13:25.128
- And the end of the year.
- 00:13:25.128 --> 00:13:26.463
- We have multiple programs, the gary sinise foundation
- 00:13:26.463 --> 00:13:29.332
- That we're doing.
- 00:13:29.332 --> 00:13:30.700
- Last year we played at the grand ole opry
- 00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:33.904
- For the the 30th anniversary of forrest gump,
- 00:13:33.904 --> 00:13:37.941
- And the opry wanted to do something with us.
- 00:13:37.941 --> 00:13:40.944
- And so they did.
- 00:13:40.944 --> 00:13:41.811
- An event called
- 00:13:41.811 --> 00:13:43.013
- The opry celebrates 30 years of forrest gump.
- 00:13:43.013 --> 00:13:45.315
- My band played and a bunch of other artists played.
- 00:13:45.315 --> 00:13:48.151
- We all played songs from the forrest gump soundtrack.
- 00:13:48.151 --> 00:13:51.755
- It was a lot of fun.
- 00:13:51.755 --> 00:13:52.722
- We hope to go back to the opry this year again
- 00:13:52.722 --> 00:13:55.659
- And we have multiple concerts on that, on the books
- 00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:58.395
- And lots of events.
- 00:13:58.395 --> 00:13:59.529
- I'm just all over the place
- 00:13:59.529 --> 00:14:01.264
- And in the meantime, i'm right here at home, at the office.
- 00:14:01.264 --> 00:14:04.067
- That's where i am right now and taking care of the family.
- 00:14:04.067 --> 00:14:07.103
- And my wife has been
- 00:14:07.103 --> 00:14:08.672
- Totally supportive of me all these years doing this.
- 00:14:08.672 --> 00:14:11.741
- If my wife and family hadn't been supportive of me going out
- 00:14:11.741 --> 00:14:15.545
- And leaving home and doing all this work,
- 00:14:15.545 --> 00:14:18.548
- There would be no gary sinise foundation.
- 00:14:18.548 --> 00:14:20.717
- So they get a lot of credit for supporting me in this work.
- 00:14:20.717 --> 00:14:24.020
- Yeah, well, gary, we can't thank them enough.
- 00:14:24.020 --> 00:14:25.822

- 00:14:44.908 --> 00:14:49.312
- And political upheavals
- 00:14:49.312 --> 00:14:50.981
- As the ultimate symbol of security and value.
- 00:14:50.981 --> 00:14:54.751
- But in today's uncertain world, what role is gold
- 00:14:54.751 --> 00:14:57.988

- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:15:14.771 --> 00:15:16.506
- Through wars, economic crashes and political upheavals.
- 00:15:16.506 --> 00:15:20.143
- Gold has stood the test of time as the ultimate symbol
- 00:15:20.143 --> 00:15:24.447
- Of security and value.
- 00:15:24.447 --> 00:15:26.316
- Daniel boston
- 00:15:26.316 --> 00:15:27.584
- Is founder of preserve gold and he brings a fresh perspective
- 00:15:27.584 --> 00:15:30.987
- To the precious metals industry grounded in faith,
- 00:15:30.987 --> 00:15:34.557
- Integrity and transparency.
- 00:15:34.557 --> 00:15:36.893
- So what can we expect from the economy in 2025
- 00:15:36.893 --> 00:15:40.897
- And why is now the perfect time to secure
- 00:15:40.897 --> 00:15:44.200
- Your financial future with precious metals like gold?
- 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.071
- Daniel is here to break it down. daniel, great to have you.
- 00:15:48.071 --> 00:15:50.607
- Have you with us.
- 00:15:50.607 --> 00:15:51.941
- And look, you've been in the precious metals metals industry
- 00:15:51.941 --> 00:15:54.844
- For a while, for ten years before launching preserve gold.
- 00:15:54.844 --> 00:15:58.915
- What inspired you to branch out
- 00:15:58.915 --> 00:16:00.817
- And launch your own precious metals firm?
- 00:16:00.817 --> 00:16:02.986
- Yeah.
- 00:16:02.986 --> 00:16:03.653
- You know, i've been doing this
- 00:16:03.653 --> 00:16:04.687
- For a decade, like you said, and in my experience
- 00:16:04.687 --> 00:16:08.725
- Working for other top firms in the country.
- 00:16:08.725 --> 00:16:12.328
- For me personally, just left
- 00:16:12.328 --> 00:16:13.563
- A lot to be desired in terms of transparency.
- 00:16:13.563 --> 00:16:18.334
- I witnessed some bad, bad actors firsthand.
- 00:16:18.334 --> 00:16:22.138
- And i kind of realized that if i wanted to do things
- 00:16:22.138 --> 00:16:24.507
- My way on my terms,
- 00:16:24.507 --> 00:16:26.409
- Things just need to be done a little bit differently.
- 00:16:26.409 --> 00:16:28.745
- So reserve goal was founded with the
- 00:16:28.745 --> 00:16:32.282
- Really the messaging being we want to be transparent.
- 00:16:32.282 --> 00:16:34.851
- There's nothing to hide.
- 00:16:34.851 --> 00:16:35.718
- Gold is a great investment
- 00:16:35.718 --> 00:16:37.687
- And there's plenty of money to be made for investors
- 00:16:37.687 --> 00:16:41.324
- And also for us doing it the right way.
- 00:16:41.324 --> 00:16:43.893
- Hey, you mentioned transparency, daniel,
- 00:16:43.893 --> 00:16:45.862
- And you're a man of deep faith.
- 00:16:45.862 --> 00:16:47.864
- You're a strong christian.
- 00:16:47.864 --> 00:16:49.065
- You've worked at the dream center in l.a.,
- 00:16:49.065 --> 00:16:51.367
- A skid row, helping people out there.
- 00:16:51.367 --> 00:16:53.636
- Tell us more about how your faith and your christian faith
- 00:16:53.636 --> 00:16:56.773
- Helps drive your mission to preserve gold.
- 00:16:56.773 --> 00:16:59.242
- Well, you know, i was born to two god fearing,
- 00:16:59.242 --> 00:17:02.112
- God loving parents was raised in church my entire life.
- 00:17:02.112 --> 00:17:05.949
- I did a lot of work at the dream center, as you mentioned.
- 00:17:05.949 --> 00:17:08.985
- I volunteered there for almost three years
- 00:17:08.985 --> 00:17:12.355
- And participating in almost every ministry you can imagine,
- 00:17:12.355 --> 00:17:15.492
- From being homeless to going out to the streets.
- 00:17:15.492 --> 00:17:19.996
- You know, spreading god's love and and things like that.
- 00:17:19.996 --> 00:17:22.665
- So, yeah, to be able to work
- 00:17:22.665 --> 00:17:27.504
- In an industry where we continuously help people.
- 00:17:27.504 --> 00:17:30.373
- And our audience, you know, tends to be more god fearing.
- 00:17:30.373 --> 00:17:34.144
- It's just,
- 00:17:34.144 --> 00:17:35.345
- You know, it's kind of like the gift that keeps on giving.
- 00:17:35.345 --> 00:17:37.413
- Yeah.
- 00:17:37.413 --> 00:17:38.381
- And integrity, i think is the name of the game
- 00:17:38.381 --> 00:17:40.216
- With what you do it preserve gold.
- 00:17:40.216 --> 00:17:42.051
- Why is this a great time for people
- 00:17:42.051 --> 00:17:43.987
- To have gold in their portfolio
- 00:17:43.987 --> 00:17:46.122
- And to diversify with precious metals?
- 00:17:46.122 --> 00:17:48.525
- Yeah, i think gold is just a representation of stability.
- 00:17:48.525 --> 00:17:51.861
- And right now there's uncertainty that persists.
- 00:17:51.861 --> 00:17:55.498
- You know, everyone tries to
- 00:17:55.498 --> 00:17:58.668
- Make a
- 00:17:58.668 --> 00:18:00.737
- Make, you know, everything's so politicized these days.
- 00:18:00.737 --> 00:18:03.673
- And the way i look at this is
- 00:18:03.673 --> 00:18:05.008
- This is just an economic issue that people need to look at.
- 00:18:05.008 --> 00:18:08.111
- You know, regardless of who's in president
- 00:18:08.111 --> 00:18:10.547
- Now, we still have $36 trillion in debt now.
- 00:18:10.547 --> 00:18:14.584
- We've had administrations that seem to believe
- 00:18:14.584 --> 00:18:17.187
- That we can solve debt problems by creating more debt.
- 00:18:17.187 --> 00:18:19.923
- As we both know, that's usually a recipe for disaster.
- 00:18:19.923 --> 00:18:22.425
- Spend, spend, spend.
- 00:18:22.425 --> 00:18:23.960
- Correct.
- 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.894
- And gold is a it's a form of stability.
- 00:18:24.894 --> 00:18:26.696
- Like i said, you can't print gold out of thin air.
- 00:18:26.696 --> 00:18:28.898
- Yeah, it's portable.
- 00:18:28.898 --> 00:18:30.400
- It's fungible.
- 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.234
- It carry it
- 00:18:31.234 --> 00:18:32.335
- Carries all the characteristics of what a currency is.
- 00:18:32.335 --> 00:18:34.537
- Mm hmm. it's been stable.
- 00:18:34.537 --> 00:18:36.506
- It's really a direct measure of strength
- 00:18:36.506 --> 00:18:38.541
- Or weakness against the us dollar. yeah.
- 00:18:38.541 --> 00:18:40.743
- So if i had two suitcases, one had $100,000 in cash,
- 00:18:40.743 --> 00:18:44.881
- Another one had $100,000 worth of gold.
- 00:18:44.881 --> 00:18:47.650
- I'm going to choose that gold. all day long.
- 00:18:47.650 --> 00:18:49.519
- The economy, you mentioned it.
- 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.753
- You're concerned about the dollar.
- 00:18:50.753 --> 00:18:51.955
- What's your forecast? you live and breathe this stuff.
- 00:18:51.955 --> 00:18:54.190
- What is your forecast for the us economy going forward?
- 00:18:54.190 --> 00:18:57.961
- Obviously, new administration, a lot of optimism there,
- 00:18:57.961 --> 00:19:00.763
- But how do you think 2025 and beyond
- 00:19:00.763 --> 00:19:03.099
- Could potentially play out on the economic front?
- 00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:06.002
- Yeah, we've got.
- 00:19:06.002 --> 00:19:07.103
- Ever since really the 1970s when we were pulled off
- 00:19:07.103 --> 00:19:10.340
- The gold standard, you know, we had the gold.
- 00:19:10.340 --> 00:19:12.308
- The dollar is backed by gold.
- 00:19:12.308 --> 00:19:13.610
- Then we use the petro dollar.
- 00:19:13.610 --> 00:19:15.478
- And now the only thing that gives the dollar
- 00:19:15.478 --> 00:19:17.347
- Any real value is the faith of the public puts into it.
- 00:19:17.347 --> 00:19:20.316
- So for 2025, you know,
- 00:19:20.316 --> 00:19:23.786
- There's a lot of talk of tariffs
- 00:19:23.786 --> 00:19:25.722
- And tariffs can be highly inflationary.
- 00:19:25.722 --> 00:19:27.590
- Ultimately, american businesses pay those tariffs,
- 00:19:27.590 --> 00:19:30.627
- Those costs get passed on to the consumer.
- 00:19:30.627 --> 00:19:32.996
- So i think that that's a very it's a great solution long term,
- 00:19:32.996 --> 00:19:37.600
- But it's going to cause some real short term pain.
- 00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:39.702
- Daniel, great insights.
- 00:19:39.702 --> 00:19:40.903
- Okay.
- 00:19:40.903 --> 00:19:42.038
- Someone the just the average person watching at home,
- 00:19:42.038 --> 00:19:43.373
- They might say gold, that's above my pay grade.
- 00:19:43.373 --> 00:19:45.441
- That's over my head.
- 00:19:45.441 --> 00:19:46.376
- How can just everyone watching
- 00:19:46.376 --> 00:19:48.077
- Be a part of this and get involved
- 00:19:48.077 --> 00:19:49.646
- With preserve gold and add gold to their portfolio?
- 00:19:49.646 --> 00:19:52.181
- It's pretty easy, right?
- 00:19:52.181 --> 00:19:53.216
- And you don't have to be a millionaire to do it.
- 00:19:53.216 --> 00:19:54.651
- No, i mean, if if gold's not, you know, out of your budget,
- 00:19:54.651 --> 00:19:58.688
- Silver is a great option, too.
- 00:19:58.688 --> 00:20:00.089
- And arguably, i think silver has more upside than gold.
- 00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:04.460
- In 2008, when the market crash during the financial crisis,
- 00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:07.897
- Gold prices reached record highs of almost $2,000 an ounce.
- 00:20:07.897 --> 00:20:10.900
- In response to that event, silver prices.
- 00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:13.269
- At the same event,
- 00:20:13.269 --> 00:20:14.370
- They went from roughly $10 and change to almost $50
- 00:20:14.370 --> 00:20:16.739
- An ounce over the same time frame.
- 00:20:16.739 --> 00:20:18.341
- Wow. right now we have gold prices sitting around 28 $200.
- 00:20:18.341 --> 00:20:21.911
- So if you're buying gold today,
- 00:20:21.911 --> 00:20:24.113
- You're pretty much buying gold at the at the top of the market.
- 00:20:24.113 --> 00:20:27.650
- And for me personally, buying anything at the top
- 00:20:27.650 --> 00:20:30.553
- Never sits right with me.
- 00:20:30.553 --> 00:20:32.322
- But i will say this
- 00:20:32.322 --> 00:20:33.923
- When gold prices reached all time highs in 2011,
- 00:20:33.923 --> 00:20:37.327
- Silver prices reached all time
- 00:20:37.327 --> 00:20:38.861
- Highs at the same time, just shy of $50 an ounce.
- 00:20:38.861 --> 00:20:42.098
- Right now, silver is trading around 30.
- 00:20:42.098 --> 00:20:44.300
- So for silver to go back to the previous
- 00:20:44.300 --> 00:20:46.402
- Highs, for the simple fact that gold's already there now
- 00:20:46.402 --> 00:20:48.771
- And they do track each other,
- 00:20:48.771 --> 00:20:50.440
- You're almost doubling your investment
- 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.008
- Dollar from current levels.
- 00:20:52.008 --> 00:20:53.509
- Gold and silver really do the same thing.
- 00:20:53.509 --> 00:20:55.211
- They're both going to hedge
- 00:20:55.211 --> 00:20:56.112
- Inflation, they're going to hedge against
- 00:20:56.112 --> 00:20:57.347
- Stock market or bond market volatility.
- 00:20:57.347 --> 00:20:59.782
- But in terms of upside, you do have a lot more upside
- 00:20:59.782 --> 00:21:02.518
- Right now in silver with a lot less downside risk.
- 00:21:02.518 --> 00:21:05.822
- Economies come and go, they crash, they collapse.
- 00:21:05.822 --> 00:21:08.224
- But gold, silver, undefeated throughout the centuries.
- 00:21:08.224 --> 00:21:10.993
- As you said, it preserve gold is a great place to do it.
- 00:21:10.993 --> 00:21:13.629

- Or economic uncertainty or personal struggles,
- 00:21:58.241 --> 00:22:01.344
- Living a life of purpose is what gives us true fulfillment.
- 00:22:01.344 --> 00:22:05.681
- And that purpose can be found in serving others and standing
- 00:22:05.681 --> 00:22:09.252
- Firm in faith.

- 00:22:14.090 --> 00:22:18.060
- Which god prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
