And it took Mike Adams, his podcast, for me to go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me look at this a little more. And he had a couple great guests on that were talking about this, and it made me research it. But Japan has got a real problem. Their prime minister, Giro Ashiba, says that they’re in huge financial difficulties right now, and that they are worse than Greece right now. Only problem is, is that Japan prints its own money. Japan manufactures goods that we buy, you know, you can think of Toyota cars, you can think of all the different electronics and everything else that Japan sells.

So they have a country there that makes something. What does Greece make? Okay, other than debt. But with that, you know, they wanted to lower interest rates at a cost to the country. And the prime minister said, no way, please don’t do this. It’s going to be a problem. But it is it is absolutely unbelievable that they’ve said that they are worse than that they are worse than Greece right now. The other thing to think about is that this is coming home, guys, the credit problem that people like Greg mannerino have talked about for years is coming to town.

And you’re going to see a crunch where the banks are going to not have the money, you’re going to go to your ATM someday, and there won’t be any money and cash in there. And Japan is on the cusp of having something major happening. But it goes one step further. I want you to think about this. There is a rice shortage in Japan, which when you say that it’s insanity. It’s just it’s stupid because I mean, I’m not trying to make a joke. It’s kind of the rice capital of the world. They had all these restrictions put on the farmers.

Don’t create so much rice. Don’t, you know, don’t work your farm cut back in the acreage. Well, now they’re shortages. There’s, you know, rationing. There’s high prices. It’s just terrible. So, you know, they’re they’re agriculture minister who’s completely lost his mind. Also, this guy steps forward. Ito teku is his name. And he said, you know, I’ve never had to pay for rice in my life. And now I have to pay for it. Normally, I’m given this as a gift. And then he stepped down. So again, just another bureaucrat and they have them around the world. That’s the thing, guys.

You just think it’s, oh, it’s it’s in my county. It’s in my city. No, it’s globally that we have these clowns that run things. And this guy doesn’t get it. And again, all the restrictions on energy, all the restrictions on farming, watering, everything is paying the ultimate price to where there’s a rice shortage in Japan as well. You don’t even know how insane that is. It’s just it’s almost like you’re making it up. So real estate is a real problem right now. And the problem with it is the persistent high interest rates. Now, here’s the thing, guys.

Everybody says, oh, we need a lower interest rates. You know, if they do that, prices are just going to go through the roof. But who’s got a job to pay for this? I had lunch with someone who’s politically active today, who is very smart with the markets. It’s very smart with real estate and is just convinced that we’re going to see a certain sector completely lose it during this time. And it’s going to be middle America. The people like you and I that have to work our brains out to pay our bills and to budget, to go on vacation, to worry about how we’re going to pay our bills, the electric bill.

We’re just going to raise our prices. And one thing that they’re seeing is homeowners association here and around the country. They’re having such a problem with insurance, such a problem with energy, such a problem with everything that, you know, here in California, I found a great article about how our gas is so much more expensive than, you know, when you cross the border and go to the border, cross the border of our state and go to Arizona. You know, we pay over 90 cents a gallon for taxes here in California, which is lunacy. And it’s just continuing.

But the HOA’s, the homeowners associations, they’re going to have the same problem. You know, thank God we don’t have the property tax problem here that you have in other states where they just, you know, willy nilly raise it. But it’s a problem. And the other thing is the commercial real estate problem is getting worse and worse and worse. Roker Aaron, Aaron smiles, sent me a great article about a Walnut Creek office building, three, three building complex, five hundred and twenty six thousand square feet of office space in beautiful Walnut Creek. So here’s the thing. I do these stories.

People go, oh, yeah, that’s a horrible area you’re talking about. I’m talking about San Francisco. Walnut Creek, guys, is really nice. It’s really, really nice. Well, in 2018, these people paid two hundred and twenty million dollars for this office complex. Seems fair. They just sold it this week for one hundred and eleven million dollars. Do the math on that, guys. How many office buildings can you sell and take a ninety million dollar haircut on? It’s just it’s too much, guys. It’s too much over and over and over and over again. You know, again, I appreciate people like Aaron, Dr.

Marvin, Lauren Connecticut, you know, everybody, everybody that sends me everything. There’s one guy in particular that I love his stuff. And I told him, don’t send me a box of 40 different articles. Send me one at a time. And he sends me newspaper clippings. But here’s a perfect example. One medical. What have I heard of one medical for? That’s the company from that’s owned by Amazon. They’re the health care company. It’s owned by Amazon. And what happened was they had a man named Philip Tong, who died in 2023. It’s no big deal. People die all the time.

The only problem was somebody access his medical records and stole his medical records and looked at his name, his social, his. Different, you know, medical problems, health care procedures, everything that was done. That’s illegal, guys. It’s a crime that was done. So they’re suing the family is Amazon’s brains out and one medical brains out and the hospital facility, everybody that didn’t protect this stuff. Guys, I’m telling you right now, you have to have to have to go out and protect yourself. There was just another huge 1.6 million people got their data stolen. Thank you, Jesse, very much for this because it’s a good one.

Okay. But the point is, guys, is when people pass and people die. I’m telling you guys, look at this. Okay, my late girlfriend, Lisa, her dad died in 2019, day before my birthday. Okay, 2019. And he just got approved for a credit card. Now, somebody said, Dan, if you put, you know, the death certificates with the county, of course, I have with the credit card companies and things like that. Of course, we just got approved for a credit card. Isn’t that nice? Or is somebody out there actively using these dead people’s credit cards? You know, how about Mr.

Tom, you know, his family, I mean, it’s just so ridiculous that they have to sue these people to get this stuff. And then you’ve got the 1.6 million people that just got compromised. And again, data, everything, social, phone numbers, all that stuff. I’m telling you guys right now, please, please go out and change your passwords. Please go out and look at your bank account. Look at your credit card accounts. Make sure that there’s nothing willy nilly on there. Okay. I had something on one of my accounts where there was a high end hotel that I’ve been at before.

And there was a $5.50 charge. I’m like, what is that going on on my charge? And I called the credit card company. And they said, oh, we may have to give you a new card because they may be fishing to see if you catch this and then they’ll do a big charge on it. So if you get your wallet stolen, call right away. I’m telling you guys, it’s very easy to get a backup credit card. It’s very simple. And my son had to get a driver’s license and had to get it done quickly. And he said, listen, I’m traveling.

You guys got to do this right away. Okay, we can get it in four days for you because he’s traveling. Oh, you’re lucky. Normally, we say three to four weeks. Okay, guys, have an extra credit card. Try not to carry everything with you. Now, if you’re traveling, you got to take with you what you got to take. But this whole thing with the banks right now and with real estate, found a great article with the six problems with real estate. And it all stems from the interest rates right now. But I’m telling you this right now, guys, people don’t have the income.

People don’t have the jobs. Talk to a real broker, a real estate lender that knows that don’t talk to the real estate agents. They want you to buy a house. They want you to sell your house. They want it. They want it. They want you your action. You know, don’t talk to a broker. What’s it take to qualify for a loan now? Good ones that have done it. I’m talking multiple years. Don’t get somebody that decided to do it, you know, because the kids are on summer break. That’s not who you want to hire. Talking about somebody who’s done billions of dollars with the loans.

Okay, get a hold of somebody like that. You decide if they’re qualified or not. But have them explain to you how difficult the market is right now, because yes, there are different things that you can get that will get you into a house. But man, oh, man, you’ve got to have good credit. You got to have a good job. And you got to have longevity in your income. When people go out and buy a house, one of the most wild things that people do is they go out and they show proof of funds. Look, I got 400 grand in the bank.

Oh, that’s great. You qualify. That’s excellent. And then the money comes into escrow and it comes from another source. Uh oh. Where did that come from? Who’s that person? Oh, my uncle gave me the money. Blah, blah, blah. All the fraud, all the problems with this are being dealt with. Think about this also. Wells Fargo Bank this week is cutting back on wire transfers and transfer of money of any kind throughout any of its systems. And you can sit there and say, huh? What’s that have to do with us, Dan? Think about this. Do you ever use Zelle? Do you ever pay for anything online? Well, as of Thursday of this week, it’s much more difficult to do that.

And Wells Fargo, at its discretion, and you clicked on it, if you have a Wells Fargo account, they can delay the money. International money could be delayed up to a week. A week. And I’ve asked people, hey, when you send international wires, what’s the most you’ve ever had delayed? Oh, three, four hours maybe. OK. How about seven days? I couldn’t tolerate that. So Wells Fargo issues a statement that says, if you want to send money right now, make arrangements for it to be sent and have plenty of time. Because at our discretion, we’re going to freeze that.

Now, you can sit there and say, oh, they’re just worried about money laundering and the bad people. Maybe. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Or are they having trouble? Is this the beginning of the cash squeeze that we’ve been talking about, that I’m talking about right now? Don’t think that everything is on the square. My uncle always says, is it on the square? Are they trying to take us? You know, they’re trying to take us, guys. This whole thing is a scam. When you see someone like Japan telling you that we’re worse than Greece, there is a problem globally that’s affecting each and every one of us right now.

Please, please, please, please. OK. There’s a lot of political things that are happening right now that are getting our attention. And I, I got to be honest, I have a private channel. I allegedly live. I allegedly TV is reassigned up for that. We talk about all that stuff. It is entertaining times 50. OK. I love talking about that stuff. But when it comes to your finances and your privacy and everything, don’t lose the side of the ball. I’m telling you, keep your eye on the ball because this is designed. So it’s like, hey, look over here.

Look at this. Look. OK. Speaking of that, look at these great dogs. These are dog walkers, professional dog walkers. Now, this is a talent. Look at all the different types of dogs. But check this out. You guys are amazing that you can do that. Hey, how are you guys? Absolutely amazing that you guys can do that. Sure. Sure. It’s funny. One of the dog walkers was like, hey, send me that video. But I’m telling you guys, you’ve seen me with Rosie and her friends, you get three dogs going in all different directions. It’s absolutely crazy. I have so much respect for somebody that can keep that together and have three groups like that.

And they’re just all going to daycare. You know, it’s excellent. Couple of things. You know, we talked earlier this week about Selcom and how they were shut down and Selcom steps forward and other professionals. They’re the sailor company that’s in Michigan and in Wisconsin that had the hacking. And they said every single company that has a technology spin to it needs to protect themselves from this because this is going to happen. So, again, did they pay a ransom? No. Are they going to? No. But are they going to try to get their site back up? Yes.

But people have been without phone service now about 10 days. They think they may get it done for Memorial Day. Wow, absolutely terrible. Absolutely terrible. But I’m shocked that more companies don’t do this. But I’m telling you, and for my buddy today, so many people have positions in this world. And they’re so arrogant and they’re just so hey, I’m vice president of manufacturing, blah, blah, blah. And that clown’s playing golf today. You know what I mean? So I’m telling you, you’re going to see a lot of people. They’re going to lose their job still. You’re going to see millions of people lose their jobs.

The middle managers of the world, the desk people, as Mike Adams calls them, that sit there. AI is taking these jobs, people that are doing analysis, people that are doing projections, spreadsheets, software development. I’m telling you guys, you want to design a website right now? It is the easiest thing to do. And you can speak a prompt that’ll set out a website for you. Very, very easy. And it’s amazing. No, no, no, no, Dan, you don’t understand. It takes six months to make a website. Okay. Okay. Keep telling yourself that. Remember, the mother of all credit squeezes is coming, guys.

You’re going to see real, real problems with all these different companies. One thing that was approved in that House bill that was absolutely amazing. Think about this. For the first $10,000 in interest that you pay on a US made car, you can write off the interest rate on it. The interest deduction on that, on your tax return, for everybody. So if you buy a US made car and you finance it, $10,000 in interest can be deducted off your tax. That’s huge, guys. Over the weekend, one thing I’m going to do is, I think I’ll do this on Memorial Day, is I’ll do a bunch of grants that are out there right now, how to get money for your business, and how to do some personal grants too.

I think I’ll do a few videos. So while you guys are hitting the barbecues, I’ll be working for you. So final, final story, which this is crazy. A woman in her house found an old Susan B. Anthony dollar that was packed away in a child’s little pocket. And the Susan B. Anthony was a P, 1979 P wide-frame, wide-rimmed coin that went to auction. They thought, well, this could get $20,000. It got $726,000 at auction. So look into your old stuff. Whenever you go to grandma’s house and you find old stuff, look through things. Pay attention to it.

Oh, this is all crap. Who wants it? Let’s send it to the good will. Someone got rich for a Susan B. Anthony 1979 coin for the tune of $700,000. Isn’t that crazy? Okay. Hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, email me, guys. Hello, what I allegedly, I love everything you guys are sending me. Okay. Again, I thank everybody. I try to read everything myself. There’s so much going on in the world that affects each and every one of us. And I’m so grateful that you’re here. Okay. Don’t forget to sign up for the email list to the link.
