This Millionaire Ran To the Hills & You Could Join Him - Mike Maloney's Amazing 'Plan B' (Part 2)

追加: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]I sort of felt that everything was out of equilibrium that there could that I needed resilience. Robert Kiasaki used to teach the five Gs. Well, I've changed it to the 6Gs. Ground, grub, gas, guns, and gold. But to that, I need to add another G, and it's called group. You need a group of like-minded people. And we are developing that right now. I've already got uh a very nice group of people up here, but we're expanding that with something I call plan B. It wouldn't surprise me to see gold over $20,000. Silver is destined for mid triple digits somewhere. It's got to go over 150. Uh it really needs to go to 300 or 500. It's studying the fundamentals, seeing what is out of balance, and taking action early. And you don't wait. You don't chase price.

[00:00:56]You don't wait for your house to be on fire before you go and try and buy fire insurance.

[00:01:04]We're in search of resilience in Puerto Rico. I'm here with Mike Maloney. And Mike, we're now back in your beautiful outdoor community kitchen uh which is here on your 900 acre farm. Uh and that's the end of the story. But before that, when you and I first met, it was over 20 years ago. you were in the booth next to us at a show that Robert Kiyosaki was speaking at and you mesmerized us about gold and silver and the medals and all of that. Uh, and then we got in a conversation about your long-term game which was to invest in the metals as you saw a huge opportunity coming. You were right, by the way, and ultimately pivot into real estate and that's what you've done. Before we tell that story, I would be remiss if we didn't spend a minute on gold and silver. When I first met you, I think I bought my first silver for $6, something like that. Yeah. Uh, today silver's been bouncing between 70 and 80. We're in early May of 2026, depending on when you're watching this. The biggest question I get when I talk to people about the metals is, well, yeah, I missed that. I missed that $6 and is it too late? Where are we with gold and silver? And where does it belong in someone's portfolio?

[00:02:11]>> You know, I just made a video and the title of the video was, "Is it too late?" And uh the answer is it would have been if they hadn't done all of the inflation and everything else that they've done and if we didn't have these giant historic bubbles. No, it is not too late and not by a long shot. Back in the crisis of 2008, Ben Bernani changed the economics of how currency is created with quantitative easing. I call it Bernankanomics.

[00:02:44]and what he's done has put us in extreme danger. And I'm uh finishing up another book and it'll be a video uh that comes out later this year, early next year.

[00:02:57]And uh in it there's a section where I explain what he has done and it is the currency creation when it dilutes the currency supply. Uh it's it's basically fraud, theft and enslavement. It's it's when it dilutes the currency supply, it steals from all other units of currency and that causes inflation. After co we went through this big inflation. Uh that's a transfer of wealth. It's theft.

[00:03:25]So it's it's accomplished through fraud.

[00:03:27]Uh when currency is created, they uh you know, I shouldn't go into this, but they a bank, you find a house, a bank uh will loan you currency. It's not currency that they have. They make it up. It's brand new. Uh and so but quantitative easing uh was all this currency that came out of nowhere uh and basically steals purchasing power and every dollar that they create has to go into the financial markets. So Ben Bernani and Jerome Powell are the ones that have inflated the financial markets into these hyper super hyperbubbles that we have right now that are going to burst.

[00:04:06]uh we will see another wave of printing and that printing is going to cause I wouldn't be it wouldn't surprise me to see gold over $20,000. That would not be a surprise. Uh silver is destined for mid triple digits somewhere. It's got to go over 150. Uh it really needs to go to 300 or 500 short term. You know, it will go back down. Uh it but the problem is the supply demand fundamentals. There just aren't enough uh mines. And not only is silver money, but it's also the most useful, one of the most useful commodities there is after oil. The second most useful commodity is silver.

[00:04:50]It's the most reflective, most conductive, most thermally conductive.

[00:04:54]Uh it is required for every solar panel.

[00:04:57]uh electric cars uh use up large amounts of silver and we're using more and more of it every year, but we've had a fundamental uh deficiency of silver supply. Uh the supply demand uh is way out of balance. The the supply has been going down and down and down while the usage has been going up and up and up and we've drawn down above ground stock piles uh to where it's sort of at dangerous levels. And now the United States has declared it a critical mineral. So, uh, it's one of the items that are on a critical list if we were to get into like a conflict with China.

[00:05:37]China has stopped exporting silver. They used to be one of the largest exporters in the world and they've stopped. You have to get a special license in China now to be able to export. They all over the world. uh uh everybody's developing these defensive postures and the flows of these things are and we just don't have enough and so there's only one thing that sets supply and demand in equilibrium and that is price and so the price has to rise and the fact that silver most silver supply is a byproduct of mining copper uh lead zinc gold uh and uh if the world goes into a recession or a global depression. Those things, I believe, because of this war, because of all the stuff we just showed you, are inevitable. Now, there's always a rush toward the safe haven investments, the things that have been money for uh 2500 years and been the predominant store of wealth for 5,000 years, gold and silver. uh and when people rush back to that just when all of the supply is drying up because we're not making as much copper wire, we're not making as many car batteries, we're not making as many zinc castings. So the the uh copper uh zinc uh lead uh when when we stop mining those 60% of the silver supply goes away. it's gone just when we're running the above ground stock piles have been drawn down to these critically low levels and then the commodities exchange is a fractional reserve scheme. Uh the number of paper claims on the same ounce of silver sometimes run 300 to one.

[00:07:23]>> Wow.

[00:07:24]>> And uh uh that can't possibly last without the price setting things in equilibrium. And it will.

[00:07:32]>> So I'll take that as a no. It's not too late to get gold and silver. If you want to learn more about gold and silver, the best resource I can think of is Mike's awesome book called The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century. You can find it wherever great books are sold.

[00:07:45]And uh not only will it cover gold and silver, but a lot of the economics that we've talked about. So, Mike, when I met you all those years ago, uh you said, "Hi, and a warm welcome to everyone.

[00:07:56]Yes, this is my brand new YouTube channel, and no, I'm not AI. Uh, I've been getting a ton of questions lately and I need to clear some things up. On the very last day of last year, December 31st, 2025, I left goldsilver.com.

[00:08:14]Now, golds.com is still an excellent place to buy precious metals, but I'm no longer with the team. Instead, I'm focusing on my health, and I'm honoring a one-year non-compete clause that was in my contract. So, I can't be active in the precious metals industry until January 1st, 2027 when I become a free agent and I can do whatever I want. I can however comment on the markets and I can speak my mind and that's exactly the reason that this channel exists. So, before we go any further, please, please, please hit that subscribe button. I'm not going to be posting as often and it's going to be quite random, but you know, I think some of the things that I put together uh can be important to you. I know they're important to me and uh I hope that I give you new perspective on things. Uh now, right now, I'm working on the most important thing in my life, the biggest project I've ever done. I've been working on it for many years and it's uh just about done at this point and I need to dedicate as much of my time toward that as as I can and it will dwarf anything previous that I've done my books, my video series, Hidden Secrets of Money.

[00:09:34]It's going to be much larger than that and I can't wait to share it with you when it's ready. Anyway, drop a comment below on what topics you want to hear about most and I'll I'll try to get to those. Uh, also any investment decisions that I make, I'm going to reveal them here and on x.com. And so for X.com, it's atmike Maloney. You know, there's probably going to be some pretty rough economic waters ahead, but I think it can be clear sailing and a very bright future for anybody who is prepared. I want to thank you for your support.

[00:10:13]>> So, Mike, when I met you all those years ago, uh you said, "Guys, you know, I love gold and silver. I think there's a great opportunity here." Thank you for that, by the way. Uh and my endgame is real estate. Here we are on your amazing 900 acre farm. How did this happen? Uh, well, I'll tell you that, but I want to introduce you, the audience, to Zip. The full name is Zippityd Dog.

[00:10:38]So, uh, anyway, um, well, you know, I sort of felt that everything was out of equilibrium, that there could that I needed resilience. Robert Kiyosaki used to teach the 5Gs. Well, I've changed it to the sixgs. uh because Chris Martinson points out in his uh is it eight seven forms of capital? Eight forms of capital uh uh that you've got to have community >> and uh to be resilient. And so uh what I've done here is I've created this uh organic, sustainable, regenerative permaculture farm. Our first product is pasture-raised eggs and and we've got um several hundred orange trees. Uh and we're acquiring more. The farm is expanding. Uh and so right now we've got about 800 chickens producing 800 eggs a day. Uh and but within the next couple of years, it's going to be 20 to 30,000 chickens, as you know, uh producing that many eggs every single day. And our pasture-raised eggs have approximately three times the nutrition in them as regular store-bought eggs. Uh the the sunlight, eating all of the plants, the greenery, and the bugs and everything uh being natural. And so the vision uh is to u do this permaculture farming where you rope off a pasture, you graze the pasture first, you put a mobile chicken coupe on it, and you build a compost behind it. And as soon as the chicken start coupe starts to produce a smell, you move it uh like a length and a half, two lengths to get it into a brand new they defoliate everything for about 50 ft. Uh so you move it to where there's lots of greenery for them to eat. Uh and then start another compost pile. And you do this and then repeat the process on this pasture and then take that compost and till it down into you create these uh swailes where uh it's it's rows where you've got on contour lines that capture the rainfall and we don't need irrigation on up here. We're up at uh 2500 to 3850 ft. This farm is the I believe it's the largest high farm in Puerto Rico. high altitude farm and our air temperatures here are between 10 and 25° cooler than all of the other farms.

[00:13:10]So, we aren't we're going to inherit 30,000 coffee trees shortly uh with the expansion of this farm. I wasn't going to grow any coffee because um everybody else does. I want to grow the stuff that other farmers in Puerto Rico can't grow.

[00:13:27]And there's this ancient discriminatory law called the Jones Act that uh means that everything that comes into Puerto Rico has to leave for there's only a couple of ports that service uh Puerto Rico, a couple of shipping companies, they don't really compete with each other. they uh you have to if something comes from Europe, South America, China, whatever, it has to go to this port and get transferred onto a boat that is an uh uh that uh then leaves and services Puerto Rico. And that raises the cost of everything. So the food that I am going to be growing and selling which includes you know after the chicken coops you plant uh broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, collarded greens, Brussels sprouts, all of these green vegetables that the far other farmers here cannot grow. We can even grow wine grapes up here up on my mountain where we were. Uh very often it seems like Northern California. a cloud comes in and you're up in a cloud and it it's like you're in a fog in Napa Valley. Uh, and so, um, we're we're growing these. I mean, I've got the best tasting asparagus I've ever had in my life. And I'm from California where all the asparagus is grown. Uh, and so, and we're doing it uh, organically with no pesticides, no herbicides, no chemical fertilizers. and the cost of all of those inputs just went just skyrocketed for all of the other farmers. So, uh, what happened in Iraq because of my sustainability plans has been very good for me. Well, this is a this is a really good point. So, originally your vision for having a sustainable organic regenerative farm was not about what's happened with the conflict. It was about that kind of farming takes more time and is more expensive but delivers a better result. Right now the uh the pasture raised eggs sell for $9 right here in Puerto Rico at the special $9 a dozen.

[00:15:33]>> Yeah.

[00:15:34]>> So that was the original vision that it would be less expensive to go the traditional monoculture route but that doesn't produce the quality of the food.

[00:15:44]Now, ironically, with this increase and low supply of fertilizer, it's going to be cheaper to do it this way, >> right? And then on top of that, we've got our we're right at the top of Puerto Rico. We've got some of the purest water and air in the world. Uh, and we are at the headarters of I've got three rivers on the property. Uh, two of them are tributaries to our main river, but the headarters to this main river come from an area where there's never been grazing or farming or chemicals or anything.

[00:16:15]It's absolutely pure. And, uh, then we have our own energy. Uh, this is entirely solar powered. And we've got, uh, two Model Y, two two Model 3s, Tesla Model 3s, a Model Y, and a Cybert truck.

[00:16:32]The Cybertruck is a great farm vehicle.

[00:16:34]Yeah, >> we've also got a Ram truck, but the Ram truck, I mean, it's it's a good farm vehicle, but uh you know, it go we do the same things with both vehicles, and the Ram truck is now one big dent from the beginning, from the front of it to the end of it. Uh it isn't as good. Like the Ram truck gets stuck. We pull it out with the Cybert truck. Uh the Cybert truck is by far the best pickup I think ever made. Yeah, it's oddlooking and it's got some really bad design decisions, but other than that, the performance is amazing.

[00:17:09]>> So, you bring up the power, which is huge. Back uh with the last major hurricane here, this area was without power for more than a year.

[00:17:18]>> Yeah. 14 months, no power. Uh probably 10, 15 miles every direction from the farm. Thousands of people stranded without power, generators going everywhere. They ran out of diesel, they ran out of gasoline. Uh and then there are still power failures. Uh we had one when I was made just before I made my presentation down in San Juan. Uh but um which which proved my point to >> the whole hotel lost power for 45 minutes.

[00:17:49]>> Yeah. Right. And then uh on a regular basis, this will happen sometimes several times per week. The employees of the farm next door show up and then they have to send them home because there's no power. They are out of business that day. We find out about it later when they tell us. We don't even we don't notice when this area is without power.

[00:18:11]We continue doing what we're doing. It's wonderful.

[00:18:14]>> And this feeds into the whole resilience conversation. How can you be a resilient person? You mentioned the five now 6Gs.

[00:18:22]Let's talk about those.

[00:18:24]>> People know about the the 5Gs, but uh and take us through why that builds a resilient effort, >> right? Well, Robert Kiyosaki used to say you need the 5Gs. You've got to have ground, which is a a defendable piece of real estate. Uh I have a very defensible place. We've got facial recognition.

[00:18:46]We've got very high fences and gates and then we've got all of this jungle protecting us. If somebody wanted to come in from uh like just from the road, you need a m a machete crew to do it.

[00:18:58]You can't get here. Uh you can come in through the main entrances, but it's all very defended. Uh um so you want ground, grub, food. Yes, I've got my own food source. We are not going to run out of food on this property no matter what happens. Right.

[00:19:16]>> Ground, grub, gas, and we don't need gas. We've got solar, and so we've got our own energy. The gas represents energy. Uh guns. I'm not really a fan of guns myself. Uh I never owned guns, but now I've got a small arsenal. Uh and grub, uh or and gold. I've got gold. But to that, I need to add another G, and it's called group. You need a group of like-minded people, a community as Chris Martinson uh says. Uh and we are developing that right now. I've already got uh a very nice group of people up here, but we're expanding that with something I call plan B. So, that's a really big topic is how do you develop a plan B? So, Mike and I are going to do a separate video about that. We'll tell you how you can get a hold of that if you're interested. Not everyone listening to the show or watching today is that interested in a plan B, but the reason you want to have one is just in case. It's the same reason you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen. You hope you never use that thing, but if you need it, you want it to be there.

[00:20:22]Having a plan B is could you pick up and go somewhere where you have personal security, a roof over your head, food security, water security. look around where you live and if the power were to go out for 14 months, how long until you don't have any food? So, we'll have a separate offer for you to come uh learn all about that a plan B side, but this is Mike's plan B and it's a way to be resilient. So, at the very least, people get their thinking spurred on by what you've done.

[00:20:52]>> Yeah. But I'm trying to create a plan B that is still fun. You know, if if if the worst does not happen, you want to be able to enjoy it. Yeah. And so up here, we're going to be building a golf sim a state-of-the-art golf s uh uh simulator. Uh Dan already has the equipment that Tiger Woods uses. We just don't have the large building and huge projection screen uh yet, but we will.

[00:21:16]Uh I'm my background from the uh 80s and '90s was in high-end audio and home theater, and I'm going to be building a state-of-the-art home theater up here for between 12 and 20 people. Uh we're we've been talking about doing farm-to-table restaurants. Uh you know, one that is uh on the road that's more of a beer and pizza place and and hamburgers, but one up at the top of my mountain that is a destination restaurant for foodies all over the world. And then the uh plan B uh cabins I'll call them or uh bugout places are going to be beautiful with views and in a beautiful area. We discovered this waterfall. Uh and uh they are going to be something that you can also get a cash flow from. And so you can enjoy it.

[00:22:08]You can get a cash flow from it. And on top of all that it is your plan B. if if if the worst happens and in Puerto Rico 85% of the food is imported. If international shipping stops because of war, uh then uh all hell will break out break out in city centers. It's going to be very dangerous places to to be. And so this will be the safe place. Well, it's a great way to think about how do you take the things we talked about at the beginning of the show and do something about it. And I've watched you do this, Mike, for the last 5 years.

[00:22:45]It's been extraordinary to see this thing come together. Uh, if you want more information about what a plan B really would look like, and we'll get into some details with Mike on what he's done here, just send an email to plan B at real estategu.com.

[00:23:00]plan Balestateguerradio.com, and we'll dive in uh deep on that topic.

[00:23:06]Uh, but I think in closing, you have to take action. So many people hear and see the charts, they see the bubbles, they think, "Oh no, woe is me." A propensity to action. I've watched you over the years. You don't just think about stuff.

[00:23:19]You spend a lot of time thinking about stuff and then what can you do about it?

[00:23:22]What might you say to someone who hasn't done anything to prepare yet?

[00:23:26]>> Well, uh, I studied all of the fundamentals of what was happening with the economy and in, uh, 2002, I sort of determined that, uh, I started investing in gold and silver. Uh in 2004 I decided I was going to wrap my life around it and I got out of my previous business. I had founded the business. I was the majority shareholder. I had given some to a business partner. I just gave him the rest and left uh as a gift all of my shares. Uh and that business is still in business today making a profit. Uh but uh I saw what was coming. I got prepared for it. And in the crash of 2008, the global financial crisis, because I saw that coming and I got prepared for it, I had never made that much money in such a short period of time in my entire life.

[00:24:17]In fact, I think I made more uh in two I was born in 1956 and in 2008 I made more than I had made in my entire life during that crash and it really uh got golds.com rolling uh my business and then uh I I saw CO coming early. I was watching Chris Martinson and uh uh Dr. um I can't remember his name right now in England.

[00:24:45]Uh and uh so in late January I started learning about it. In February I started preparing for it. By early March before the American public even knew about it, I could lock my door on on I had a penthouse in San Juan then and uh and uh not come out for like 6 months if I wanted. I mean I was really prepared. Uh and then for this I've sort of been preparing now for the last 5 years. So I've been early on all of these things and people will consider consider you a nut. Uh you know um when when I first started got into gold and silver um I' I'd tell people about gold and silver and they'd say gold it's been going down for 20 years. And I'd say, "Exactly.

[00:25:36]It's been going down for 20 years. Buy it." And uh and that was back when it was my first gold was $315 an ounce spot price back then when I first started buying. So it's studying the fundamentals, seeing what is out of balance, and taking action early. You don't wait. You don't chase price. You don't wait for your house to be on fire before you go and try and buy fire insurance. Uh you take action early.

[00:26:07]People will call you a nut. You might think for a couple of years, oh my god, why did I do that? Well, uh for me, it has really paid off. So, I'm taking action early. Uh the Iran war, this could be it, maybe it's not. uh things go up and things go down. But uh basically uh Benjamin Draeli was a novelist who was uh the prime minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain for uh two terms. Uh and there's a famous quote and this is paraphrasing his quote. There's uh I'm uh prepared for the worst but I hope for the best. And this is exactly what we're doing by building this beautiful place and this destination restaurant is hoping for the best. But uh if the worst happens, you've got the food, water, energy, uh you've got the six G's. Well, good stuff. And if you are interested in learning more about uh what Mike's doing here, he actually does uh once or twice a year a trip to the farm. And if you're interested in that, send us an email [email protected].

[00:27:19]It'll put you on the invite list so you can come join me and Mike here in beautiful Puerto Rico. Not sure when that's going to be, but we'll do another one of those trips. And I have one more resource for you. Especially if you have kids and you want them to understand the difference between money and currency, you want them to understand real assets.

[00:27:36]Mike's over a long period of time put together a wonderful video series called the hidden secrets of money. It's absolutely free. There are lots of episodes produced by his great friend uh Mr. Dan Rubach who's with us today. Dan is uh helping us out on this video. So, thank you sir for that. Uh but check out the hidden secrets of money. You can find it on YouTube. You can find it at goldsilver.com. Places you can uh easily watch that. Watch it with your kids.

[00:28:03]It's interesting. They film it all over the world. And Mike brings to life uh the excitement because every kid is interested in money and they won't be too deflated when they understand that they know what money is and their friends don't. Mike, this has been great. Thanks for being back on the program. Final words.

[00:28:20]>> Uh yeah, I'd like to let everybody know that um I have left my old business and I've uh moved on and so we've got a new YouTube channel. There's only that I mentioned the video, Is It Too Late?

[00:28:33]It's on there. There's only a couple of videos on there. Uh, and if you just do an internet search for Mike Maloney Freedom Farms, you will find it. Uh, so go to YouTube and you can watch those videos and uh, uh, and then if you go to ffpr.farm ffpr.farm, uh, you can get on our list if you want.

[00:28:57]You can see what we're doing with this farm.

[00:28:59]>> Thanks for being on the show today.

[00:29:01]>> Thank you. It's been awesome. There's Mike Maloney. We'll uh bid you a do from beautiful Puerto Rico. I'm Robert Helms.

[00:29:08]We'll see you next time.
