America’s Secret Trust Fund

Instead…

For more than a century, it was sealed off from the public.

But now, thanks to a Supreme Court Decision…

And some unprecedented moves by the Trump administration…

It is starting to get unlocked.

Our guest today says…

“America is anything BUT broke.”

And if you understand what’s bound to happen next?

You could watch your own net worth soar in the years ahead.

According to Jim Rickards, former advisor to the White House and Federal Reserve…

You and I are sitting on a “national inheritance” worth $150 trillion and counting.

Enough to pay off the national debt, four times over…

To put that in perspective, that’s enough money to make EVERY American family millionaires.

As this “national inheritance” gets unleashed, which Jim correctly predicted would begin this past summer…

It will silence Trump’s most outspoken critics.

And hand a growing number of Americans a chance to retire wealthy.

So, where did this so-called “endowment” come from?

Why was it kept secret, for more than a century?

And how can you claim your share?

Joining us now is our special guest, Jim Rickards.

Jim has spent his fifty-year career in the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking, making him one of the most politically connected men in America.

• Back in the 1970s, he co-crafted the Petrodollar Accord. A single act which granted the U.S. dollar “reserve currency” status.
• In the 1980s, he helped the U.S. end the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
• In the 1990s, he was summoned by Alan Greenspan to help save America from a $1.9 trillion banking crisis.
• And in 2007 he testified in front of the U.S. Treasury, warning of a looming financial crisis… Supplying them with a detailed plan to avoid disaster.

Jim – it’s an honor to have you with us.

JIM

Glad to be with you.

AARON

Now, moments before we went “on air,” you told me we’re in the beginning stages of a profound transfer of wealth.

Yet very few people seem to be talking about this…

JIM

Right. And there’s good reason for that. This “trust fund” is not a pile of money to be equally distributed to all citizens. And it’s not part of a government program or handout.

AARON

Interesting. So tell me…

If it’s true the government is sitting on $150 trillion… how have they kept it quiet for so long? Where does the money come from?

And how can the average person profit?

JIM

Sure. I can answer those questions – starting with your first. Why all the secrecy?

Decades ago, the U.S. Congress inserted a key provision in Title 30 of the U.S. Code creating what one could call a “national trust fund.”

You can go read the sections 22 to 42 to be exact… it’s pretty dry stuff.

I got my law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. One of the top schools in the nation. I promise you, we never talked about this change to the U.S. code… or this “trust fund”… even once.

It’s been this big secret for years.

Yet over time, the estimated size of this fund has grown and grown… to the point where its raw value sits near $150 trillion and counting.

AARON

Forgive me – but I’m hung up on the size of this. $150 trillion?

How?

JIM

It didn’t start out this way.

But the nature of this “trust” is such that politicians haven’t been able to raid it… which has allowed it to grow untouched… for decades…

AARON

A number this big. It’s just… It’s unfathomable.

JIM

I know… just to put it into perspective…

$150 trillion is enough to pay off the national debt, four-times over.

It’s enough to take a 100% stake in EVERY company listed on the NASDAQ. From NVIDIA, to Google, to Amazon.

And buy EVERY private home in the United States.

If you divide this figure by the number of households in America, each family would get a check for $1.1 million.

Now of course, I don’t expect any of this is going to happen. I am just trying to point out the sheer magnitude of this situation.

This is not some kind of government program like those COVID relief checks a few years back.

But it is a chance for the average American to become richer than they ever imagined. And a chance for a few little-known companies to become household names in the years ahead.

AARON

You know, for all the times we’ve had to navigate “debt ceilings” and government shutdowns…

I’m surprised no one has ever mentioned this “trust fund.”

The only one we hear about is Social Security.

But this seems different…

JIM

No, no. This is different. Very different.

The government has raided the Social Security trust fund so many times, it is practically gone.

Even NPR admits, it could run short of cash in just 8 years.

But this “National Trust” is different.

If Jimmy Carter… Bill Clinton… Obama or Biden tapped into it?

They would have unleashed a socialist nightmare and destroyed this country.

As luck would have it, they failed for one specific reason, which I’ll share in a moment.

The key thing to know is…

For the first time in our lives, the government is set to unlock this massive asset.

And it all ties to a pivotal decision made by Trump’s Supreme Court.

AARON

I’ve got to say that sounds great, on paper. But I have so many questions.

JIM

I figured you might. Take your time.

AARON

Why would the government release something so valuable?

JIM

Well, as it turns out, this has happened before.

Back in 1862, America was a young nation. And it needed people to populate the Western states.

That’s when President Lincoln signed the “Homestead Act.”

Instantly granting any American citizen the right to claim 160 acres of public land for $18.

AARON

160 acres for $18? That’s got to be the “deal of the century!”

JIM

For many it was.

Their $18 investment equates to about $577 today.

While 160 acres of farmland is worth about $900,000.

AARON

Wait. So these people had a chance to make over 1,000 times their money?

JIM

Indeed. But there was a catch.

To get all this “free land,” they had to pack up, move to the middle of nowhere and stay put.

AARON

Ah – well. No such thing as a “free lunch.”

JIM

No… And to be clear, this story is not about real estate.

You see…

Despite giving away 10% of all land in the United States…

The government retained the most valuable part.

For 163 years, it’s held on to it.

But thanks to a recent Supreme Court Decision, it is starting to release this vast $150 trillion asset.

And just like we saw with those 160 acres of farmland…

It’s not only the government that will profit…

It’s the people who act on this opportunity.

AARON

And who might that be?

JIM

I’m talking about the businesses who get a jump on this, and the regular folks who know how to take advantage. They could come out way ahead.

Only in this case, you don’t have to uproot your family. Or endure months of back-breaking labor.

You don’t even have to write your congressman or fill out a form.

With a small investment, you could set your family up for generational wealth.

AARON

All that sounds incredible.

But there’s a hole in this story…

What is this national endowment? And where is the money coming from?

Far as I know, the government isn’t cutting million-dollar checks to people. Or giving away land.

JIM

You’re right…

President Trump is freeing up something far more valuable than land. On a scale we’ve never seen.

AARON

Before we get to that… I’m wondering where on earth could the government store such a huge endowment.

At the Federal Reserve?

JIM

No. The Fed manages about $6.8 trillion in assets. Which is nothing compared to this.

Take a look…

It’s held on deposit across all 50 states.

• $516 billion is here in the Salton Sea area of California…
• $3.1 trillion is held in Nome, Alaska.
• And $7.35 trillion is here, in Midland, Texas…

AARON

Woah – $7 plus trillion in Texas, alone?

But how do we know the government didn’t just sell it off? You know…

I was just thinking about Ft. Knox.

It holds 147 million ounces of U.S. gold reserves.

But is it still there?

The government hasn’t allowed an audit since what…

JIM

Since 1953.

Oh, I see what you’re getting at. How do we know this $150 trillion endowment still exists?

Aaron, I can’t vouch for the gold at Ft. Knox.

But this “national trust” is different.

Unlike a stash of gold, they can’t sell it off with the push of a button. That’s a key reason why it has grown, untouched for so long. But I believe all that’s starting to change.

AARON

Now we’re getting somewhere.

So we’re NOT talking about a pile of stocks… cash… bonds… real estate or gold bars.

JIM

That’s right…

And it’s not an actual “trust fund” or “endowment” like you’ve seen before. It’s not earmarked for any specific individual. I’m just trying to use terminology that will make the most sense to viewers.

That’s why very few people know about this.

And here’s the thing…

If you’re over age 50, what happens next could be your final chance to build generational wealth.

That’s why it’s critical to know what’s happening and how you can profit.

AARON

I’m beginning to see the big picture. But if this endowment is as HUGE as you say… why have so few people heard about it?

JIM

It’s beyond the imagination of most people – including most officials employed by the Federal government…

Or the media reporting on recent events.

But Americans who can see it and stake even a modest claim – with a small investment – could see an explosion of wealth in the years ahead.

There will be surprising political effects as well.

AARON

Political effects. What do you mean by that?

JIM

Donald Trump could become a national hero… one of the most powerful Presidents in memory.

I won’t be surprised if his face gets chiseled into Mt. Rushmore.

Or immortalized on the new $1,000 bill.

AARON

Trump?? On par with Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt?

JIM

Look, Aaron, I can tell from the look on your face what you’re thinking…

AARON

It seems crazy.

But that’s why I invited you to join us.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen dozens of “off-the-wall” predictions. And we’ve done our best to poke holes in them.

But when we investigated your record, Jim…

An astounding number of your predictions have proven RIGHT.

Few believed you back in 2008 when you warned of a looming stock market crash. But that’s precisely what happened. Stocks cratered 53%.

Then, in 2016, you said Trump would become our next President. At the time, polls gave him a 1 or 2% chance. But again, you were right.

Then came 2020…

We all know what happened that year. But few people saw it coming. And hardly anyone listened when you warned of the coming pandemic and lockdowns.

When it comes to President Trump – you’ve been flawless.

You were one of a few people who knew he’d become President in 2016.

And last year, you predicted he’d win in an electoral landslide. Including the exact number of electoral votes he’d receive. It’s uncanny.

But your latest call? It’s something else.

JIM

I don’t blame you if you think my latest prediction sounds a bit crazy…

Even though if you pay attention, you can see that it’s starting to play out.

Like I said.

Almost no one has a reference point for this.

Because nothing like it has happened in more than a century.

Now what I’m about to say might sound like it’s coming out of left field…

But I promise it will make sense in a minute.

Do you remember when Trump spoke about new American cities?

AARON

I do recall him saying something like that.

JIM

Right. During his campaign, he mentioned America could build as many as 10 new “Freedom Cities.”

Trump said:

And this all ties back to our national “endowment.”

Of course, CNN made fun of his plan, calling it “light on details.”

And Forbes piled on, too, saying, “There are a lot of problems with this idea.”

Not surprising…

Because these people rarely stop to think. All they do is parrot political talking points.

But have you ever wondered…

Where did our cities come from?

I’m not talking about colonial New York, Philadelphia, or DC.

Why did so many new cities spring to life during the 19th and early 20th century?

San Francisco and Denver…

Houston… Salt Lake City… and Birmingham.

And why would so many people leave everyone they knew, to move hundreds to thousands of miles away?

It all ties back to the story I’m sharing with you today…

San Francisco was a sleepy village of less than 300 people for decades.

It didn’t become a city until the gold rush of 1849. And tens of thousands of speculators joined the fray.

Birmingham, Alabama was a quiet cotton-picking district. Until we discovered vast deposits of iron, coal and copper in the 1870s. Overnight, it became known as “The Magic City.”

Denver was sparsely populated until the late 1800s.

Then, it burst to life thanks to gold fever and the birth of the transcontinental railroad.

Houston was known as “Mexican Texas.” But all that changed in 1901 – with the discovery of the giant oil field, Spindletop.

An explosion of mineral wealth rained down over our nation…

And anyone of modest means could stake a claim and strike it rich.

AARON

Jim, I get it. This idea of a “gold rush” is embedded in our culture. But I’ve got to be honest. Everyone I know who’s making real money? They’ve bought and held stocks for decades… or made a fast buck trading crypto or A.I. stocks.

JIM

You’re right, we haven’t seen a REAL mining boom in our lifetime.

But the last time this happened in America?

So many people cashed in… a phrase was invented to describe it:

“Rags to riches.”

And now, it’s about to happen, once again.

These seemingly obscure minerals… from gold to copper and silver to lithium.

They’re the building blocks for everything from NVIDIA chips to advanced military weapons… to ChatGPT… to the new “freedom cities” Trump has proposed.

AARON

Well, you put it that way, I guess “new cities” don’t seem so crazy.

JIM

Right, and to be clear, you don’t have to move anywhere to take advantage of this opportunity.

AARON

That’s a relief.

But there’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around.

Why haven’t we seen any new cities spring up since the early 1900s?

JIM

That’s a great question…

With a simple answer.

It takes vast amounts of wealth to build a new city.

Not just dollars and cents. REAL mineral wealth. The building blocks of life.

And unfortunately, the government got in the way.

For the past 50 years, or so…

Washington backed all kinds of crazy things, from electric cars and solar panels to offshore windmill farms.

All in the hope that these technologies would “save the planet.”

But they’ve been a disaster.

They cost us trillions of dollars and make next to zero impact on the climate.

And they made it next to impossible to tap into our vast resources, here in the U.S.

One former insider at the Department of the Interior says…

AARON

So, all these minerals were “locked up” by insane environmentalists – for decades?

JIM

You probably noticed…

Obama and Biden chose to protect plants… birds… and fish instead of protecting and enriching the American public.

AARON

Alright. I mean, I’m all for a clean environment. But what kind of person would sacrifice his family for the sake of a bird or a plant or a fish?

JIM

Look, I appreciate the unspoiled beauty of nature too. But these people are mentally ill.

To protect the “environment” they destroyed our middle class. They shipped our key industries overseas. Then bottled-up America’s most valuable resources.

Capital Research reports:

That’s equal to every square mile of ALL these states, COMBINED!

So, all this time – we’ve had this rich “endowment” right under our feet.

Yet for years, we refused to touch it.

AARON

You know, when you put it that way… I can’t help but think of Norway. For years, it’s tapped into its own oil and gas fields and passed the wealth along to its people.

JIM

That’s right. Norway’s endowment has around $350,000 set aside for every man, woman and child.

You can find similar sovereign wealth funds in Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE.

JIM

Thanks to its vast oil endowment, its citizens receive everything from interest-free mortgages to free healthcare. To 11-cent gasoline. And believe it or not, they pay ZERO personal income taxes.

AARON

I wish you hadn’t mentioned that. It seems unfair.

JIM

Well, don’t lose hope just yet.

At the start of his second term, Trump established a Sovereign Wealth Fund for America. Something that has NEVER happened before.

Now, I’m not saying the government will give any of this money directly to American citizens.

No one knows how they will use this Fund. Or exactly what will go inside it. But there are clues.

As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “We’re going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet.”

Contrast that with America’s Social Security fund, which is set to run out of cash by 2033. Just 8 years from now.

AARON

It makes me sick – to think how badly it’s been managed. And how Social Security has become kind of a Ponzi scheme. Will this new Sovereign Wealth Fund help fix our broken safety net?

JIM

There’s no telling how he’ll deploy this fund as it grows in value. Anything is possible. We’ll just have to wait and see.

But Aaron, if Social Security running out of money makes you sick? Brace yourself…

Because guess who profits from this mess?

CHINA!

In addition to taking most of our manufacturing jobs…

The U.S. government admits…

We rely on China for 100% of 20 key minerals.

These are critical to everything from NVIDIA’s A.I. Chips to Elon Musk’s EVs, robots and satellites… to advanced military weaponry like F-16 fighters and drones. Practically every device with an “on” button.

And last year, China cut us off!

AARON

Cut us off in what way?

JIM

China blocked the export of these critical minerals to the United States.

And if that wasn’t enough, recently they’ve been tightening the screws.

Meaning if we don’t act – our whole economy could tip into crisis.

This reminds me of the 1970s, and the Arab Oil Embargo.

Back then, I was working with the Nixon administration. I was part of an elite team plotting a secret take-over of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields. It was our plan-B if they didn’t agree to our demands.

Anyway… I bring this up because the same kind of thing is happening today in the market for critical minerals.

Which is why Trump is moving fast to unlock this $150 trillion endowment.

AARON

Wow – I mean – you put it that way, it’s no wonder.

So to recap: We’ve been sitting on a fortune. All the resources we could possibly need.

And meanwhile…

Our leaders have acted like we’re broke!

Borrowing and printing money to fund our government. Going hat in hand to China.

JIM

Yes – but all that stops now.

Recently, Trump said:

So today, for the first time in a century, he’s re-opening our mineral-rich Federal Lands.

And fast-tracking companies that will recover trillions of dollars’ worth of resources, right here in America.

You can see on this map – the shaded area – it belongs to the public. It adds up to roughly 28% of all the land in the U.S. About 90% of this land is concentrated out west. And it contains world-class mineral deposits, many of which have never been touched.

AARON

Well, judging by what we’ve learned so far… It’s about time we tapped into this treasure!

There’s just one problem.

JIM

And what’s that?

AARON

Trump’s got a track record.

He has already served a full term as President.

In that time, he failed to unlock this $150 trillion endowment.

He couldn’t get the Keystone Pipeline approved.

Or greenlight Alaska’s famous Pebble Mine.

He didn’t resurrect the coal industry… or expand offshore drilling.

So what’s changed?

JIM

You’re right…

Most people don’t realize…

Trump was sabotaged from day one.

His first two years in office were wasted fighting the “fake Russian hoax.”

His third year was destroyed by a “fake” impeachment trial concocted by the intelligence community and liars like Adam Schiff.

His fourth year was consumed by the COVID pandemic and the collapse of both the stock market and the economy.

AARON

So he never had a chance to do things HIS way.

JIM

Right. But this time is different.

Recently, his Supreme Court made a pivotal decision. And it’s now having a massive impact.

I don’t want to get into the weeds.

But for decades, there’s been a law on the books. The Chevron Doctrine.

But it’s clear to me, its purpose was to prevent businesses from operating in America.

Have you ever wondered what happened to our shipbuilding industry? Our consumer electronics industry? Clothing and furniture makers? America used to be a bustling economy – full of hard-working, innovative businesses.

But most of them disappeared…

Thanks to a web of insane rules and regulations.

AARON

Right. Most of them outsourced their labor to China.

JIM

And why does everything seem to be “Made in China?” If you ever wondered why it’s so cheap to make a product way over there… and ship it thousands of miles back here. This is it – they don’t have all this red tape.

For the past 50 years, fake-experts have strangled us from within the government. They tied us down with reams of regulation. And they ushered in one boondoggle after another.

Like the “Green New Scam.”

So they hollowed out our economy… And we wound up with toilets that can’t flush… gas cans that don’t work… shower heads that barely spit water… and annoying paper straws that disintegrate in your mouth.

And these same bone-headed policies? They gave agencies like the EPA “kill shot” power to stop any mining project they wanted, at any time, for any reason.

Look…

Recently, S&P Global put together a list of the top mining countries on earth… based on how long it takes to tap a major deposit.

And guess where the United States ranks?

AARON

We’re the richest nation in the world.

Ah, I’m guessing somewhere near the top.

JIM

No!

We came in second-last.

One notch above poverty-stricken Zambia.

AARON

You’ve got to be kidding!

JIM

Think about this…

When it comes to extracting rare and priceless minerals…

Our country is slightly better than one of the poorest nations on earth!

We have truly massive mineral wealth here. It’s not hard to extract. We know where it is. And how to get it.

But the government got in the way.

AARON

That’s just… brutal.

JIM

You have no idea…

There’s a huge copper deposit in Arizona. It’s called Resolution Mine. And it’s been sitting there for 29 years. It’s got enough copper to supply 25% of what we need, right here in America.

Then there’s the infamous Pebble mine in Alaska. It’s one of the greatest sources of mineral wealth ever discovered. Yet it’s been mothballed since 1990!

Or how about this…

The Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in Nevada is the largest known deposit of its kind in the U.S.

Guess how long it was stuck – waiting for U.S. government approval?

AARON

I don’t know. 25 years… 30?

JIM

Since 1978!

AARON

That’s insane.

JIM

It’s beyond crazy. It’s criminal. They have deprived us of OUR Birthright.

But now…

That’s all beginning to change.

AARON

And so what’s changed, exactly?

JIM

In 2024, Trump’s Supreme Court overturned the Chevron Doctrine.

Most people have never heard of this policy.

Like I said, it essentially gave so-called government experts “kill shot” power.

And they used it again and again to block us from touching dozens of world-class resource deposits across the country.

But that’s all over now.

We know exactly where these minerals are. We know they’re worth trillions of dollars.

Now… for the first time in half a century – we can go get them!

Not only is the Chevron Doctrine dead.

But its vast power now lies with the Trump administration… its courts and its judges.

And Trump is racing into action.

AARON

OK, so this is the huge land-rush you’re talking about. And perhaps, the core of Trump’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund.

But Jim – to my knowledge, the United States government cannot extract these minerals.

JIM

Of course not.

These are public lands.

But to unleash all this mineral wealth, the government is partnering with investors.

In fact, Trump has rolled out the red carpet, as we speak.

AARON

OK, I’m told we have his exact words on the screen. This is from a post on Truth Social.

AARON

One billion dollars or more?

JIM

But look…

You don’t have to be a billionaire or even a millionaire to profit from this opportunity.

I’ve found a backdoor way you can profit from mineral rights tied to the most valuable untapped deposits in America.

In fact, you could get started with $500 or less.

AARON

Mineral rights? As an investment?

JIM

That’s right.

As Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick said:

Why is that? Because for the first time in our lifetime, the government is going to monetize America’s real, physical wealth. Not just our gold reserves. But all our federal lands and along with the priceless metals and resources hidden under the surface.

And if my research continues to prove correct, investors who tap into this opportunity right now could become wealthier than they ever imagined.

No one alive has seen anything like this before.

I project we will see 50 years of trapped mineral wealth unleashed in a single presidential term.

For investors…

It’s a chance to cram decades worth of gains into the next three years.

But, Aaron, that’s only part of the opportunity Trump is creating with this $150 trillion “endowment.”

AARON

What do you mean? What you’ve described is pretty extraordinary already.

JIM

I know. It gets better.

In the last few months…

As the government has been unlocking this $150 trillion national endowment…

We’ve seen the Trump Administration make some truly unprecedented moves.

Nothing like it has ever been done on American soil.

And I believe it ties directly into Trump’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund that we’ve been talking about.

AARON

How so?

JIM: Let me back up for a sec.

I didn’t define it earlier, but a Sovereign Wealth Fund is a pool of wealth set aside for the benefit of its people.

And while it’s a new idea to us, other countries like China, Norway, and Saudi Arabia have had them for decades…

AARON

OK. So I want to be sure I’m hearing you right…

As Americans, we’ve been behind the curve on these sovereign wealth funds.

But now thanks to Trump, it’s finally our turn. That’s great.

JIM: Sure is.

AARON

But Jim – there’s a problem.

All the countries you mentioned – they produce far more than they consume…

While we’re at around $38 trillion in debt and counting.

Where will all the money come from to fill America’s Sovereign Wealth Fund?

JIM

A lot of that is still to be determined.

But, I believe this is where Trump's recent and unprecedented moves come in.

And they relate directly to the $150 trillion worth of minerals we’ve been talking about.

AARON

Tell me more.

JIM

To cut straight to it, two things have happened since our Sovereign Wealth Fund was created.

First, on March 20th, Trump signed Executive Order #14241, which allows government agencies to invest with a “dedicated mineral and mineral production fund.”

Then, this summer, they took action.

And each time, individual stocks soared…

AARON

Wait, you’re talking about the equity stakes the government has been taking in mining companies?

JIM

Exactly.

Like MP Materials, which jumped over 100% in the month after the Pentagon bought a 15% stake…

Or Lithium Americas, which jumped almost 100% within days when word got out about a potential deal…and then another 34% in after-hours trading once the government pulled the trigger…

Or Trilogy Metals, which soared 200% the day the White House announced it was buying in.

And these examples are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.

Have You Heard of a “GPO”?

We’re looking at investment opportunities we’ve never seen before in America…

I call them “GPOs.”

And they could create an amazing windfall for people who are prepared.

AARON

Now, Jim, what’s a GPO? And why does it matter to investors?

JIM

We’ve all heard of Initial Public Offerings or IPOs. That’s when a private company goes public on a major stock exchange. For insiders and wealthy investors, these events can mint millions or even billions of dollars in profits.

But unfortunately, IPOs aren’t accessible to average Americans.

These GPOs – these Government Participation Offerings…

They are different.

Anyone can buy in. Even for $100 or less.

But here’s the key – you have to buy the stocks of specific publicly traded companies before the government does.

If you do, as we’ve seen, you could see incredible gains…

Even overnight.

AARON

But if you don’t? If you don’t get in before the government participates?

JIM

You’ll miss out.

But the good news is this…

We could see dozens more of these “GPO filings” by the government in the months ahead.

Getting ahead of this could be one of the best ways to profit on this $150 trillion “endowment” of mineral riches.

Aaron…I’ve seen a lot in my days…

But I’ve never seen something like this.

AARON

Jim, everything you’re saying is so incredible…it’s almost hard to believe…

But I understand what you’re saying…

Trump’s unlocking of our $150 trillion mineral reserves…

Amplified by these unprecedented GPOs…

What an opportunity for investors.

JIM

Truly.

AARON

Now Jim, I need to know…

Can ANYONE really get in on these opportunities?

I mean, your GPO idea is so straightforward – you just have to know which stocks to buy.

But the first part…

The whole idea of owning mineral rights… that sounds complicated.

JIM

Right. Don’t worry.

Let me explain.

I’m not talking about doing anything complicated like directly owning mineral rights. You don’t have to be rich or an accredited investor.

With these GPOs, it’s as simple as owning shares of a few specific stocks.

In fact, there are five ticker symbols you can type into any brokerage account that will give you a stake in five companies I believe will skyrocket in the years ahead.

Each with the potential to double… triple… or more during the rest of Trump’s second term. Conservatively speaking…

AARON

And what makes the mineral rights these companies own so valuable?

JIM

Sure…

Let’s pretend you own the rights to a huge copper deposit. Copper, by the way, is one of the most critical metals used in the production of A.I. chips, by companies like NVIDIA.

Alright. So you’re sitting on a $50 billion copper deposit.

How much are your rights worth?

AARON

No idea.

JIM

Well, it depends.

During the Biden administration… you had to deal with all kinds of roadblocks and red tape.

AARON

In other words, my copper was off limits.

JIM

That’s right.

AARON

OK. In that case, my mineral rights could be worth less.

JIM

Much less. Pennies on the dollar.

But with what’s going on now, these same mineral rights could soon be worth a fortune!

And this is not a hypothetical.

This is precisely what happened with a company called First Quantum.

Remember Zambia?

AARON

Yeah.

Well, back in the early 2000s, the Zambian government approved First Quantum’s Kangashi Copper Mine. And its shares exploded from 84 cents to more than $22. That’s a gain of 2,583%.

AARON

That’s an incredible return.

JIM

Keep in mind, it took place over five years. But this just goes to show what’s possible over time after the feds finally get out of the way.

I could show you dozens of examples.

Take Northern Dynasty. Back in 2002, our government allowed it to acquire a 100% stake in Alaska’s vast Pebble Project. In the span of five years, its shares leapt from 50 cents to almost $15.

AARON

What’s that… 3,000% or more? You don’t see that very often.

JIM

Well, in rare moments like this, anything is possible.

There’s a firm called Paladin.

It’s a uranium miner with a massive property in Namibia, Zambia’s neighbor.

At one point, you could have bought shares for less than 15 cents, adjusted for splits.

But when the government approved this mine – it raced to $92. Roughly 61,000% higher, in four years.

AARON

Ok…one second. That’s enough to turn a $500 stake into $300,000.

JIM

Now you’re getting it.

This is what makes today’s situation so unusual.

And potentially profitable.

Now it goes without saying, these are “best case scenarios.” Most people aren’t going to get in at the absolute bottom and sell at the top.

It just goes to show what’s possible.

It’s rare to see an opportunity like this.

But just think of where we’re at today…

For decades…

The U.S. government has blocked us from tapping into our Birthright. Trillions of dollars of minerals and metals, right here on American soil.

But now, for the first time in half a century, Trump is shredding the government's crazy rules and regulations.

His massive 10-to-1 deregulation initiative is already clearing the way for miners and drillers to finally access our untapped resources.

His Supreme Court has reversed a decades-long ban. He’s issued multiple executive orders to unlock our vast energy resources. And his administration is buying stakes in companies which could form the bedrock of America’s first Sovereign Wealth Fund.

When you put it all together, the opportunities are huge.

It’s why I believe five specific mineral rights companies are about to soar!

AARON

This sounds great on paper. But what can regular folks do about it?

JIM

I’ve found a simple way you can own stock in companies with the rights to some of the most valuable mineral deposits in America. Even if you have less than $500 to invest.

And I’ve had my research team put it all together in one easy-to-follow report.

It’s called… THE AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT: How to Claim Your Share of America’s $150 Trillion Mineral Endowment.

And today, we’re making it available to anyone who requests a copy.

AARON

Free of charge?

JIM

All I ask is you join forces and take a look at my work.

AARON

OK. Tell us a bit more about your team… and your research.

JIM

You know, for years, I’ve given advice to members of Trump’s cabinet.

I’ve been inside the West Wing of the White House… the Treasury… and our central bank, the Federal Reserve.

I’ve attended private gatherings with people close to the President.

And these inside connections have given me a rare window into what’s going on in his second term.

So each month, we take everything we’ve learned and break it all down into a simple, 20-page update.

In the past year, we’ve covered everything from the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and the U.S. military… to the potential for a new gold standard to the hidden effects of major elections on our economy and stock market.

I’ve got to tell you, Aaron.

When people see what’s coming next?

They’re going to be shocked.

AARON

So in this first report, THE AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT. I take it that’s where you’ve put all your thinking and research on this massive $150 Trillion endowment?

JIM

That’s correct.

Inside, you’ll find the name and ticker symbol of five companies I believe are positioned to profit…

As Trump unleashes all this pent-up wealth, locked within Federal Lands and launches America’s first-ever Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Keep in mind…

We haven’t seen anything like this in more than a century.

The last time the government allowed regular Americans to tap into our vast endowment was 1872.

That’s when Congress and President Ulysses S. Grant changed Title 30 of the U.S. Code and established this secret trust for the American people.

Back then, anyone could make a claim.

All you had to do was pay $2 to $5 per acre… and do a minimal amount of work.

Again, so many people cashed in on this… a phrase was invented to describe it: “rags to riches.”

But then, the doors slammed shut.

What excites me today is…

We finally have a similar asymmetrical opportunity – but this time in the stock market. Where a small investment could ultimately grow into a fortune.

As this story plays out – investors could see 2-times… 4-times their money or more.

Of course there are no guarantees, so you should never invest more than you can stand to lose.

But hear me when I tell you: This is the opportunity of a lifetime.

That’s why billionaires from Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos started pouring a fortune into this corner of the market over the past year.

JIM

Chances are, they see what Trump is doing.

So they’re moving a mountain of money to get in front of this trend.

But in this case, regular investors have an advantage.

AARON

WE have an advantage. Over Bezos and Gates? How is that possible?

JIM

The big guys are too wealthy to meaningfully invest.

To put it in perspective there’s a company that controls one of the most valuable copper deposits on earth.

With a TOTAL market cap around $400 million.

AARON

That doesn’t seem small.

JIM

It’s miniscule, compared to Jeff Bezos’s net worth of $255 billion.

He could invest one-tenth of 1% of his wealth…

And take over the whole company!

Which doesn’t leave much upside.

To put it in perspective… it’s like this:

Imagine you have a net worth of $200,000.

And you go and buy a business that’s worth just $300.

Even if it doubled or tripled… or 10x’d – it wouldn’t change your life.

AARON

Ah. Now I see. So, a guy like Bezos has his hands tied. It would be like me putting in $300 and making $3,000. A fantastic return – but it’s not going to change my life.

JIM

Right. This is why I say small investors have an edge…

And the potential for life-changing upside.

But only if you ACT on this knowledge, to begin with.

AARON

OK – we’ll share how to do that, in a moment. But a minute ago you upped the ante, Jim.

You said, and I quote, “People are going to be shocked in the months to come.”

What did you mean by that?

JIM

Well, what I’ve shared with you today is just the beginning.

We are entering a new era.

And this all has to do with Trump’s great rally cry: MAGA.

AARON

Make America Great Again.

JIM

That’s what it stands for – but few people know what it really means or what Trump is planning next.

Because, in addition to unlocking our vast $150 trillion mineral endowment – I believe Trump is working to re-set the clock on our republic. And return us to something known as the “American System.”

AARON

The American System? How is that different from how things work today?

JIM

The American System dates to the late 1700s. And it was supported by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all the way up to Dwight Eisenhower.

AARON

And what does this system look like?

JIM

I’m sure you’ve heard Trump talk about getting rid of the IRS. And axing the income tax.

It turns out…

Historically, it’s not a crazy idea…

We didn’t have an income tax for much of our history. Instead, the government drew revenue from tariffs.

AARON

Tariffs instead of taxes?

That’s a pillar of Trump’s policy.

JIM

Right.

Remember when Trump said, “It’s time for the United States to return to the system that made us richer and more powerful than ever before.”

AARON

The “American system?”

JIM

Correct.

That’s why Trump has proposed a new agency called the External Revenue Service.

A new branch of Treasury focused on protecting American jobs and raising revenue by taxing our trade partners, instead of the American public.

And it could reshape our economy in the months ahead.

AARON

OK – what else should we expect with this new system. Or should I say “old” system?

JIM

I’ve asked my team to assemble all our research into a second special report. You’ll find everything you need to know inside.

It’s called Inside Trump’s Secret Plan to “Reset” America.

AARON

A moment ago, you mentioned this could rewire our whole economy…

Can you share what that means?

JIM

Of course.

As a result of all the new tariffs – three American energy stocks could really take off.

Trump has opened the door to revive the Keystone XL pipeline. I’m sure you heard about this – it’s been a political football for years. Biden and Obama did everything short of nuking it. But now it could become a reality.

Trump is also planning to re-fill our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Most people don’t realize how insane Biden’s policies were. During his presidency, he drained a record 180 million barrels!

That’s more than the previous SIX presidents combined.

To refill our stockpile, Trump’s working to increase oil production here at home.

And that’s only the start.

Trump’s plan is to increase U.S. oil production by 3 million barrels per day. But I’m not recommending you buy any of the U.S. oil majors.

You see, there’s a huge bottleneck in the system. We don’t have enough refining capacity.

And the more oil we produce, the more profits could flow to one specific company.

You’ll hear all about it in our report: Trump’s Secret Plan to “Reset” America.

As you’ll see, this story goes way beyond oil and gas…

As we return to the American System – we’re going to see a whole lot more than oil and gas produced here in America.

As you know, Trump is applying immense pressure on U.S. companies to re-shore the production of everything from auto parts to A.I. chips. It’s all coming back.

AARON

So is it fair to say there are two paths here. Companies that re-shore jobs to America will thrive. While those that refuse will get hit hard?

JIM

Precisely right.

So, in addition to my report on Trump’s new American System – I’ve asked my team to put together a vital report on the companies most likely to LOSE under this scenario.

If you own the wrong stocks now, you could suffer a huge loss as Trump returns America to its roots.

In the weeks and months ahead, their shareholders could be wiped out.

That’s why I asked my team to compile all the key details…

Including the three most popular companies out there that could crash 30-50%… or even go to zero.

These three popular companies popped up in our search.

I consider them ticking time bombs that are sitting inside millions of 401(k) and IRA accounts…

We put all the details inside another special report called Trump’s Takedown Trade: 3 Stocks to Sell, Immediately.

If you have even one of these in your portfolio…

This is your chance to get out, before it’s too late.

AARON

OK – so to recap, you’ve assembled three reports our viewers can claim, with zero risk.

• THE AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT
• Trump’s Secret Plan to “Reset” America
• Trump’s Takedown Trade: 3 Stocks to Sell, Immediately

JIM

Yes, that’s it.

We worked to assemble these reports for good reason.

Massive changes are in the works. And most people are going to be caught off-guard.

That’s why I want to give folks watching a chance to claim these reports, along with full access to a project I’ve been working on called Strategic Intelligence.

AARON

Can you give us a little background on that?

JIM

Happy to…

The whole point of Strategic Intelligence is…

We want to help you understand and profit from the vast and often unseen forces shaping our economy and stock market… through the rest of Trump’s second term – and beyond.

What will happen after Trump regains control of the Panama Canal?

Or negotiates a deal to make Greenland a U.S. Territory?

What assets will be funneled into American’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund? And how can you front-run the government?

Not to mention, everything going on with A.I. Recently, Trump inked a deal with NVIDIA and AMD that gives the government a 15% royalty on any chip sales to China.

And around the same time, he directed the government to take a 10% stake in Intel – making Washington its #1 shareholder.

Fortunes will be made as we move forward.

And through my research you’ll see what’s coming, weeks to months before it becomes common knowledge.

AARON

I love that – it’s like you’re giving us a look behind the scenes of what’s really happening.

JIM

That’s exactly what we do.

Each month, you’ll receive a new issue filled with ideas and strategies to help you protect and grow your wealth.

In the past year, we’ve covered everything from…

Supreme Court Decisions to the Dismantling of the Deep State…

To the race for A.I. supremacy and how to profit from it.

Before Strategic Intelligence, I only provided this kind of research to my high-net-worth clients and members of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

But now, you can have the chance to hear my best ideas on an ongoing basis.

AARON

I’m curious, Jim – who is behind all this?

JIM

Oh, we don’t have any sponsors or backers in a traditional sense. Our research is 100% independent.

No one on our staff collects commissions on anything we recommend.

In other words, we are 100% independent, beholden only to our readers.

AARON

And really, Jim, what surprised me is your generosity. If I’m understanding this… you’re giving folks a chance to look over all your research and all the reports you mentioned – at no risk.

JIM

That’s right. All we ask in return is you take a risk-free trial to Strategic Intelligence…

When you do, my team will immediately send you all the special reports I’ve mentioned.

AARON

Can you fill us in on the details and how much all this costs?

JIM

Happy to.

Membership to my newsletter typically sells for $299 per 6 months.

But my publisher has arranged a special discount for you.

We want to help as many Americans as possible prepare for what’s coming and profit from the companies most likely to soar in the rest of Trump’s second term. Because odds are they won’t look anything like the stocks that soared over the past 5 years.

So today we’re not charging anywhere near $299.

My publisher just agreed to make Strategic Intelligence available to our audience for a single payment of $49.

AARON

$49 per month?

JIM

No, not per month. For one low price. You’ll get 6 full months of my research.

And if you don’t like what you see… and you’re not 100% happy?

You can get a full and prompt refund.

Anytime in the first 3 months.

All you have to do is call or email our customer service team and they’ll take care of it, no questions asked.

Go ahead and print out everything you received.

(As of this moment, there are several you can act on right now.)

AARON

So it sounds to me like there is no risk here. They can keep everything. No matter what.

JIM

That’s right.

AARON

OK – there’s a button popping up on the screen below this video. It says “Join Now.” And it’s a secure link that will take you straight to Jim’s order form. Don’t try to look this up anywhere else. You won’t get this special price. Make sure you use the button below.

So go ahead and click that button.

When you do, you’ll get a full summary of everything on offer today. All the reports. And everything else you’ll receive as part of your trial subscription.

And Jim – I think there’s one thing we left out, right?

JIM

That’s right. For the folks who do join today, I’ve arranged to send you one more bonus report that will help you prepare for the most explosive profit opportunity of the decade.

It’s called: “Trump’s A.I. Arsenal: How Investing in A.I. Superweapons Could Turn $1,000 into $162,000.”

Today, our military is a mess.

The Air Force is still flying B-52 bombers, built in 1961.

And it’s not just our planes that are out of date. Everything from ships to tanks – they’re 30-40 years old.

One retired Naval Officer reports:

“We have almost zero capacity to repair any battle damage forward or at home. We gave it all away.”

But here’s the thing…

Trump isn’t going to remake the military of the past.

He’s building a new one – supported by the most advanced technology on earth.

I’m sure you’ve heard him talk about the “Iron Dome.”

AARON

Right, that’s the anti-missile system made famous by Israel. But Jim – that country… it’s got to be 100 times smaller than the United States.

JIM

444 times, to be exact.

Now can you imagine the investment it will take to cover America, the same way?

AARON

My gosh. Someone is going to make a fortune.

JIM

It’s inevitable.

As we speak, one company is working to replace the old Minuteman system, which dates to the 1960s – before we even set foot on the moon.

It’s partnering with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to develop something called Star Shield. This tech is built on Elon’s Starlink platform. And it will act as an early warning system for America.

And that’s just one of several firms poised to profit from Trump’s new Iron Dome.

We’ve put all our research down in a fourth report called: Trump’s A.I. Arsenal.

Inside you’ll find our favorite ways to invest in this new military mega-trend.

Another company we’re tracking is much, much smaller. And we project its shares to soar 10,000% or more in the decades ahead.

Its AI-powered long-range drone can take out targets up to 3,000 miles away. It weighs just 2,500 pounds and can accelerate to Mach 0.85, at altitudes up to 45,000 feet.

On top of that, it can be launched from aircraft carriers or small airfields.

All at a huge savings.

Think of it…

An F-16 costs the military more than $60 million. But this AI-powered drone comes in under $6 million – one tenth the price. I believe this firm is poised to magnify our military might, while trimming our defense budget. And for investors, it could be the ultimate speculation.

AARON

So, if I’m hearing you right – the best way to play A.I. is at the intersection of the military and technology.

JIM

That’s where the money is flowing. I know the Mag 7 companies are the poster-children for A.I.

But few of them are making money on it.

OpenAI hasn’t earned a penny in profit.

Meta has blown through tens of billions of dollars.

And even Microsoft – the largest software maker in the world – has yet to see any significant profits from A.I.

AARON

That raises the question who WILL profit from this technology?

JIM

We have the answer…

My research shows a handful of defense companies are poised to make money hand over first.

After all… Their products are not “free.” They’re supported by massive and growing investments from the Trump Administration.

AARON

OK – so to recap…

You’ve created an additional report – Trump’s A.I. Arsenal: How Investing in A.I. Superweapons Could Turn $1,000 into $162,000.

Which brings the total to FOUR reports. And six issues of Strategic Intelligence – all for just $49. And that covers six whole months.

And you’ve backed all this with a 100% unconditional money-back guarantee.

JIM

That’s correct.

AARON

Jim Rickards – I want to thank you for joining us. This has been an invaluable experience. I was wondering do you have a few more minutes to spare? We’ve received dozens of questions… and a few of them are so good, I wish I had asked them, myself.

JIM

I’ve got a couple more minutes, sure. Go ahead.

AARON

OK – so for the folks at home, there’s a link below this window. If you click it and follow a few simple instructions, you’ll get instant access to Jim’s research, risk free.

Don’t worry, this window will stay open and you won’t miss our final Q&A.

Jim, I want to respect your time.

So I’m going to move through these questions, fast.

JIM

Fire when ready…

AARON

First one: Why hasn't this $150 trillion trust fund been widely reported on by mainstream financial institutions or government agencies?

JIM

Oh it’s definitely been reported on. But mostly in a negative light. Unfortunately, most liberals don’t seem to like mining. Which is ironic! Their whole “green transition” would require massive amounts of new minerals. And they don’t just fall out of the sky. But we’ve already established the fact most of those people are insane.

To answer the second part – I think you asked, why haven’t government agencies reported on this. Well, the U.S. Geological Survey does indeed report on the vast store of wealth locked on our Federal Lands. But they don’t look at it from a financial standpoint. They’re basically a bunch of rock-kickers. It’s hard to listen to what they say without falling asleep!

And if you somehow manage to find their reports, you’d get lost in a sea of data. But to be clear, the $150 trillion endowment as I like to call it is well documented. It’s just been trapped in place for decades.

AARON

Well said. OK – Moving along. We’ve got another question here. This one is a bit of a curveball.

How does unlocking this trust fund not trigger hyperinflation or devalue the U.S. dollar?

JIM

Oh, I love this question.

Whoever asked this has a keen grasp on history. In the past, when gold was money – any significant gold discovery would literally expand the supply of money. Which is, of course, inflationary.

But today, there’s not a single currency on earth that’s backed by anything of real or lasting value. So I don’t think this would be “hyper-inflationary” in any sense of the word.

You could argue a greater supply of gold or other minerals could push their price down in dollar terms. But that’s only if demand remains the same. All my sources indicate soaring demand for these minerals in the months ahead.

AARON

OK – I know you said you only had a few minutes, Jim. And I don’t want to abuse that.

Do you have time for two more?

JIM

Sure – I’ve got time for that.

AARON

OK, here we go. How does this compare to existing sovereign wealth funds in places like Norway or Saudi Arabia? What makes the U.S. version different?

JIM

Fascinating question.

Every other fund of its kind that I know of has included a massive stockpile of commodities. Or cash equivalents.^. The big question is – will America follow in the footsteps of Saudi Arabia?

Will we offer subsidized, interest-free mortgages? Will we use this windfall to slash taxes or get rid of the income tax, entirely? Nobody knows.

But I believe all the new acquisitions Trump is making in the stock market could form the basis of this first-ever Sovereign Wealth Fund.

And that’s why I’m advising Americans to buy shares of these companies – before the government makes its next move.

We can’t know for certain what the government will do next. But with moves this big – they always leave clues. And we’re going to interpret these clues to our best advantage to help you come out way ahead.

AARON

That’s enlightening. Thanks again, Jim. OK – this is it. In the interests of time – last question.

If these mining and mineral rights are so valuable, why aren’t major institutional investors pouring money into them?

JIM

Oh, they absolutely are! That’s a great point. One I neglected to make.

You know, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway of course. Well, they’ve continued to scoop up shares of Occidental Petroleum. In fact, they now own around 28% of the company, which has huge interests in expanding oil production in the U.S.

And then there’s PIMCO, the huge bond manager. It made some big moves when it snapped up 354 million shares of a natural gas exporter called Venture Global.

One more example is Elliot Management. They invested $1 billion in Anglo American – a mining firm that was once involved with the infamous Pebble project in Alaska – which has been blocked from production for many years.

So yes, wealthy investors and institutions are involved. But like I mentioned before – there’s not an incentive for them to own smaller, publicly-traded companies the way you and I can.

Like Warren Buffett once said… if I had only $1 million to invest instead of $200 billion, I could earn an annual 50% return.

And that’s why smaller investors almost always have more upside.

AARON

Jim, we’ve taken enough of your time. I want to thank you again for being with us today. I’ve learned a lot. And I’m looking forward to claiming my own little slice of the American Birthright.
