SCRIPTURES AND WALL STREET – THE SILVER ILLUSION & THE 401(k) LIE- WHY RED MONEY ISN’T RETIREMENT

In today’s episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. tackles two of the most emotionally charged assets in America right now: silver and the 401(k). With volatility surging, the dollar fluctuating, and banks facing continued strain, many investors are asking the same question: Is my retirement actually safe? Carlos breaks down the dangerous myth that precious metals or a traditional 401(k) automatically equal security. While silver may rise long term, it remains a red money asset — volatile, manipulated, and heavily influenced by the same financial institutions investors claim they distrust. He explains how spoofing, naked shorts, dollar manipulation, and exchange control mechanisms create extreme volatility that retirees are not prepared to withstand. The episode goes deeper into the structural weaknesses of 401(k) plans — defined contribution structures, limited fund menus, hidden fees, and the illusion of ownership. Most participants don’t realize they are not owners — they are participants inside a Wall Street casino. Carlos introduces the critical difference between: • Red Money (risk, speculation, unlimited losses & gains) • Green Money (contract law, principal protection, income consistency) • And why retirement is not about chasing upside — it’s about locking in certainty. If you’re holding large bank balances, precious metals IRAs, or relying solely on your 401(k), this episode is a wake-up call to rethink where your money lives and how exposed it really is. This is not about fear — it’s about stewardship. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • Why silver and gold are still red money assets • How dollar manipulation directly impacts precious metals • The truth about spoofing and JPMorgan’s precious metals settlement • Why precious metals IRAs may expose you to unnecessary risk • How volatility can destroy retirement timing • The structural flaw inside most 401(k) plans • The difference between a defined benefit and defined contribution plan • Why you are a participant — not an owner — in your 401(k) • How hidden fees silently erode retirement accounts • Why unlimited gains also mean unlimited losses • What green money really is and how contract law protects principal • Why retirement must focus on income and consistency • How Roth conversions may fit into a precious metals exit strategy • Why emotional attachment sabotages financial decision-making • How stewardship and discipline apply to investing 📖 Scripture of the Day “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 FREE tax calculator http://corteztaxbill.com GALLUP -The CliftonStrengths® 34 Report https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/403127/cliftonstrengths-34-report.aspx The Color of Money https://rumble.com/v73vhby-scriptures-and-wallstreet-the-color-of-money-replay.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=e9473b97-5241-472d-a848-0bf18daac052 ———————————————————————————————————— Schedule a consultation today! https://cortezwm.com Learn More About America First Retirement https://americafirstretirementplan.com/ Get your own private insurance account! https://privateinsuredaccount.com/ ———————————————————————————————————— Follow us on Rumble! https://rumble.com/c/c-5319252 Follow us on twitter! https://twitter.com/scrptrandwallst Like & Subscribe our Channels ———————————————————————————————————— Rumble https://rumble.com/user/ScripturesAndWallstreet Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@ScripturesAndWallstreet Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0d0qrDco0pTfSjeaLEa6Ux?si=2M13CUTkQBC6mWa7B0vWrA X https://x.com/scrptrandwallst ———————————————————————————————————— Support the show!

Still Standing: How Veterans Find Peace Beyond the Battlefield

In this episode of The Richard Leonard Show, Richard steps back from the daily chaos to reflect on veteran life after service—specifically the silent weight of transition, mental strain, and the search for clarity in a world no longer scripted by military structure. Citing new research highlighted by Military.com, he explores how something as simple as access to green space—especially in cities like Minneapolis and Washington, D.C.—may play a powerful role in reducing depression, anxiety, and PTSD among veterans.
