Now, this is an interesting one. This story may not hit everyone the same way. It's a bit of foreshadowing, but it is what it is. This from the epic times. Copper demand surges, but supply deficit is hard to solve. Experts say with heavy investments in artificial intelligence, future copper demand will be staggering. According to a veteran natural resource investor, for the hard assets and the money metal types on a low budget, silver was long the answer. It was one of my answers. Putting money in assets is vital right now, not many people are talking about it. You can't talk about it that much because you know, you're talking about collapsing the stock market. Once people realize that artificial intelligence is gonna rob for one case, and is gonna rob cryptocurrency, yeah, it's gonna be problems. So for the longest time, you know, money in hard assets has been safe. It's always been safe. It most likely always will be safe. You get it's very hard to argue against gold and silver and history and time. Copper is as the world grows in the increase, the increased need for copper grows, right, and it's really grown. It's really grown. Most pipes and homes are like PVC now, So the copper thing in pipes I don't think has anything to do with demand whatsoever. Copper is the ultimate conductor, right. Copper plays an essential role in electrification, digitalization, and technologies like AI, data centers, electric vehicles, and defense. How much copper goes in the drones, that's the only question you need answer. Ask yourself. Right, copper price risen signific. Upper futures in New York Mercantile Exchange settled at six twenty a pound on June twenty eighth, doubling their post pandemic low of three dollars twenty three cents. This is a pound now, Okay. Why I'm telling you this is it may not be a bad idea to start buying some copper coins. You can get you can get a pound. You can get copper bars right now from a lot of metal dealers. And like I said, worst case scenario, your money goes into this and you have money in an asset as opposed to money in the bank. It's really shaky. Money's in banks for me personally, seems really weird. Seems like it's a limited time offer, you know what I mean. Just doesn't seem like the bank. They you get a little hack here and there, and they give you your money back, you know what I mean, and send you a new card when the whole bank gets hacked, when the four oh one k's get hacked, when the crypto whilets get hacked in mass Once the Pakistanis and Indians learn how to use AI to hack bank accounts, hallelujah, hallelujah. Got some interesting news on the AI front from major major company. Five you'r AI assistant here. We've got a bit of a news situation. This is a wild story. Man Ford rehires experienced engineers after AI misses the mark. This is I did a story about this on Monday. Fords were hired experience human engineers to help address the shortcomings of AI tools meant to tackle quality issues in the automaker's production process. Could you imagine now, I know that what we've been told. Yeah, it's gonna be smarter than you. It's gonna be smarter than every human that's ever lived, times ten. It's gonna be blah blah bah bah bah bah. I'm just gonna throw this out there. Can you imagine if it didn't work. Can you imagine if we look back on this moment when we find out, like, yeah, it was a really cool tool man. We made like fake movies and stuff on it. But when it got to engineering and really doing things that were oh not just human driven complexity but also desirable, it just didn't meet the mark. And then it lost all its funding. A lot of companies dropped it, bubble burst, and that was the end because right now we live in this idea that it's going to become God right or some type of demon. The hiring push helped Forward top the JD Power twenty twenty six US Initial Quality Study for the first time since twenty ten. I'm in improvements in quality of its vehicles and follow some hard learned lessons about the ability of AI to replace human knowledge in the production process. Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, says Charles Poone, but it's only as good as the information you use to train it. I wonder who's making the communist AI. I wonder who's making the communist AI. As I mentioned, I wanted to talk US history this week. I wanted to talk some really big events. One of the craziest events in my opinion, right is somehow you take a seventy year old Benjamin Franklin, throw him in in France and tell him to make a miracle, to make a miracle. Right picture at December seventeen, seventy six, Right, we are losing no way around it. Washington's army is We've been chased out of New York, chased out of Philly. Right, the Continental Congress is completely broke. We're short on powder. It's it's ugly. We sent Silas Dean to France on a secret mission for supplies, but it wasn't nearly what we needed to beat the Brigands, the Brits. So on October twenty sixth, we send a seventy year old Benjamin Franklin on a on a small fast ship out of Philly on a brutal, really a rough ride, storms and British controls hunting for him. He'd have been hung if he was found, and he didn't particularly he wasn't particularly seaworthy, a lot of sea sickness. Right, December thirty lands in France. Think about he leaves October twenty sixth, he's on the boat till December third. What. Yeah, he shows up with the spectacles in the Quaker style clothes that you know him as you know what I mean. Remember, like this is a merit. This is like the beginning of American ambassadorship. Right. He meets, he moves into this nice house and passy outside of Paris, provided by a frenchmance who's sympathetic to the whole And there was a lot sympathetic to the whole movement because they had just got their asses handed to him in the Seven Years' War. Right, So, in the Seven Years War, France loses badly to the British. They're pissed, you know what I mean. And Franklin's like, oh, I can use that, you know, we can use that, and he playcates to the you know, to the French, largely King Louis. He tells him, you know, we got eighty thousand men under arms. We had like ten thousand. He quietly works with French merchants and playwright turned spy Pierre bomar Chi boomar Chai to keep secret shipments of guns, powder, and uniforms flowing across the Atlantic. This is literally what gets us through the ugliest of days. You know. Then in early December seventeen seventy sevent a year later, Right, he's been patient, he's been cool, he's been you know, chilling with the French leadership, hanging out, probably blowing their minds with his genius and and inventiveness. A carrier burst into Franklin's house in Passey with electrifying news the Americans have won a stunning victory in Saratoga. General Burgoyne and six thousand British troops have surrendered. That's a big one. That's a big one. That let the French know the Americans weren't playing. Maybe we should get invested in this, right. So, then almost a year later, in Paris, Franklin and Silas Dean they signed two historic documents, the Treaty of Amity and Commerce and the Treaty of Alliance. Big one. Treaty of Amity and Commerce recognizes American independence and opens trade between them in France. Right, so there's this place now, it's called American, it's not a British colony. It's called America, and we're going to trade with them. The Treaty of Alliance is a full defensive military pact if Britain attacks France or vice versa, the other side joins the fight. It's like a mini NATO, you know what I mean, It's like a micro NATO between them. We get attacked, France joins, France gets attacked. We have to join and to defeat. You know, it's an alliance, it's basic alliance. A few weeks later, on March twenty, seventeen seventy eight, Franklin is formally presented to King Louis at the glittering palaces of Versailles. While the French court sparkles and silks, jewels and powdered wigs, Franklin appears in a simple brown suit, no sword, and his spectacles hard to believe. Crowds outside shang shout vive Franklin as his carriage passes. Then, in just a few months later, in June seventeen seventy eight, France declares war on Britain. They take out massive loans for the war. Thousands of troops are given to the Alliance under Rochambeau, and of course the Admiral de Grasse insane navy enters the Fray, which would you know, win the battle that ended the war. Largely at Yorktown in seventeen eighty one, right down the street by the way. So cool living Virginia, man, you're living in the center of American history. Really cool. But yeah, I mean, all of this on the back of a seventy year old guy who was sent over to France to largely do the impossible, win the French over and you know, it's reminiscent of like of Donald Trump, it's reminiscent of It's just a reminder that some people have it. Some people just have it. Doesn't matter the age, you know. I mean, you call upon this person because they got it. And there's people out there like that. Man, it's just it's hard to believe, but it's real. Some people just got it. Doesn't matter if they're in their twenties and they're you know, they're handsome and full head of hair and everything's going well. You know, they don't even have to be in their prime because they're always in their prime because they're the best of what they do. And you know, Franklin was a psycho a little bit, but he was just a man. But he was the guy for the job, and he got it done. He got the unthinkable signed inked, dotted on the line. And we're celebrating in three days because of that, because of that big time all right, folks, don't forget, okay, the big all day, twenty four hour Fourth of July Extravagance PBN. Look for it live. It is. It's a great background jam session historical Lincoln for the fourth of July. Talk to you tomorrow.
