this is unbelievably wrong.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
painful especially since we are looking
at the possibility of an economic
recession globally broken Miller says
the U.S debt crisis is worse than he
imagined the mainstream media is
fear-mongering like never before in fact
Nick T is telling us that three-month
annualized core inflation fancy word is
going back up oh my God is the chart
actually accurate is the mainstream
media accurate to be regularly
interviewing fear mongerers and
highlighting the depths of Despair that
are coming and taking advantage of
Americans ordinary hard-working
Americans who are not well versed in the
data they're being presented
probably in fact in this video we're
unfortunately going to have to tear a
new one into the mainstream media and
that is going to include Nick T of the
Wall Street Journal because I hate to
say it usually I like what he says but
boy oh boy he is blatantly wrong with
the chart that he's presented we're
gonna break all of this down in this
video this is a critical video on what's
going on with inflation because if you
misunderstand the concepts that I'm
going to break down in this video you
could be horribly Mis positioned no this
is not personalized Financial advice for
you you gotta look at this data and
figure it out yourself yeah I'm a
financial advisor yeah I run an actively
manage ETF and I got courses on building
your wealth I got all that oh yeah we
have a price increase tonight email us
for bundles at kevin.com that's going to
be the biggest price increase tonight so
make sure you get in before that but
look we gotta understand what's going on
because when the mainstream media
initially looks at soft inflation data
and then their first reaction is oh okay
what can we resort to to create more
fear you you know what they do they
start talking about El Nino I kid you
not Bloomberg is now resorting to
talking about El Nino because El Nino is
going to reanimate inflation that supply
chain woes are going to come back and
high prices are coming because of El
Nino now and if it's not El Nino it's
gonna be the banking crisis and if it's
not the banking crisis it's the debt
ceiling they've always got to Pedal use
some form of fear I understand the game
I get it I have dramatic titles
sometimes in the videos but every time
you look at my videos and you actually
listen to the content of the video
we break down what's actually going on
whereas you look at the depths of some
of these articles on in the mainstream
media the core of their argument is fear
that's the problem it's the Titleist
fear and the core of their argument is
fear
and I think they're purposely misleading
people and I think that's disgusting I
feel like the Bears are shocked that the
consumers are actually holding up and
look if the consumers were falling apart
I'd be the first to flip-flop and tell
you we're screwed I've done it before
I'll do it again
every single day I make like seven cups
of coffee and I sit here and I study
myself with my team you name it and we
go Are We Wrong every single day every
single day and I will be the first to
tell you but we need to understand
what's going on with consumers and I'll
tell you it's not what we expected look
at the beginning of the year we saw
household savings fall before the
pandemic household savings were like
five thousand bucks
then in January we were at 12 700 which
is like a huge boost right but that was
down from 13 700 so we saw a decline in
savings and that made people think okay
here we go all right savings are gonna
go down the bear argument is going to be
right we're soon enough going to see
people lose their jobs and then we're
going to have a massive earnings
recession and a slump that's yet to be
priced into stocks well what actually
happened was mind-blowing Bank of
America just released their 2023 survey
of consumers their middle income
consumers they say quote feel fairly
confident near term and have Financial
buffers to draw on should economic
headwinds start to blow harder in fact
not only do they highlight the strength
of spending of consumers and Airlines
and Food Services but they suggest that
consumers now have higher savings
balances than they did in Q4 in other
words savings balances have started to
rise again which if you actually look at
the St Louis fed and you look at the
savings rate it's true the savings rate
for consumers has skyrocketed 80 percent
since 11 months ago in June of 2022 in
June of 2022 the savings rate was 2.7
percent people were spending more on
credit and it was actually the same
month that we hit our technical
recession two quarters in a row of
negative GDP q1 Q2 of 2022. that's when
the savings rate was the lowest and
since then it's been in rebounding again
it's up 80 percent it's at 5.1 percent
and it's rising on top of the fact that
people have excess savings this is
leading some on Wall Street now to say
huh it seems like households are quote
coping with higher inflation on top of
that you have a bear like TS Lombard
they're always the bear that I go to
because they're usually so bearish in
addition to Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson
what does TS longboards say
well Consumer Price pressures remain
elevated but have moved past their Peak
and inflation angst is more or less
quote old news
in other words normal hard-working
Americans are becoming convinced that
yes inflation happened prices went up
insurance for our cars and homes and
prices for groceries restaurants all of
these prices are up but that rate of
growth is falling which is what the
Federal Reserve cares about the rate of
growth falling unfortunately most
Americans misunderstand inflation
take this tweet from a conversation this
morning
Sam writes quote I am not seeing any
prices going down yet I'm not sure what
these reports are or where they get them
from
well first of all the reports are coming
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
which we understand they put together
the CP lie we know okay yeah maybe the
data is rigged all right maybe it's just
designed to make Joe Biden look good but
then again his approval ratings are at
the lowest since a World War II of
presidents this far into their
presidential first term and uh let's
just say there's only been one president
that has had a lower approval ratings
and that was Reagan other than that
Biden is number two in terms of lowest
approval ratings right now so if if the
government's trying to rig the data and
make Biden look good
it ain't working now of course some
people are like oh well maybe the dad is
so so bad they don't want him to be the
number one worst president they just
allowed to read overdue
maybe but then you look at private
surveys like what's actually happening
with wholesale car prices s p or ISM
purchasing manager indices and you
reiterate falling prices or at least
that price increases are slowing now
that's a really complicated sentence so
I decided to draw it out what if I could
prove to you that inflation could go up
23.75 or prices could go up 23.75 and
the Federal Reserve would cut rates
you'd probably think that I'm crazy
you'd probably think there's no way in
hell well that's actually how a lot of
people start when they get into my
programs on building your wealth like
real estate zero to millionaire real
estate investing stocks and psychology
money or this AI program people like
what am I going to learn and then they
they listen to the lectures and they're
like I never thought about it that way
that's called an aha moment well
hopefully I could try to help you with
an aha moment right now so I drew it out
to try to make it simple to this Twitter
user Sam Sam this is dedicated to you
Sam
let's say you and your girlfriend
or boyfriend whatever you go to
McDonald's and you used to spend twenty
dollars on a meal but now it costs 21 or
it used to cost 21 in other words it
went from 20 to 21 then it went up to
twenty three dollars and then went to 24
and then it went to 24.5 and then it
went to 24.75 in other words prices
skyrocketed twice prices went up from 20
to 24.75 at a rate of
23.75 over this time period
23.75 that's insane now you might think
Kevin there's no way in hell with a
23.75 percent inflation set or or a read
of price increases of 23.75 that the FED
could cut rates there's no way
well there is see the Federal Reserve is
concerned with stable prices not low
prices they do not have a mandate to
give you low prices now that's
unfortunate that prices are higher but
that's just reality we have to talk
about fact and truth and the reality is
prices are higher and they're not coming
down at least not anytime soon so where
on this chart are there stable prices
well prices are stable over here and
yellow on the left and prices are stable
over here on the right and where on the
chart are prices unstable well in the
pink zone right where prices went up
five percent then 9.5 then 4.35 percent
but the stable prices are over here
where prices are rising at two percent
and 1.02 percent
and in the pink environment the Federal
Reserve raises rates in the yellow
environment the Federal Reserve reduces
rates the FED cares not about the
23.75 they don't care at all they only
care about unstable prices that's it and
once you understand that the Federal
Reserve doesn't exist to make things
cheaper for you they exist basically to
make rich people more Rich uh but once
you understand the game you could join
that right you understand that the way
to get rich in America is to own assets
businesses stocks and real estate that's
how you get rich in America it's very
simple once you understand the game you
can get started with like three percent
down on a house it's insane the tools
they give you to actually build wealth
in America and then people like open
mortgage insurance
so little Financial education it's a
problem in America but that's okay
that's why we have a channel and that's
why we're trying to provide insight so
what does this mean going forward well
it means a lot of consumers are very
confused about inflation they hear oh
what inflation's coming down can't can't
be true man my hamburgers are more
expensive my insurance is more expensive
yeah and that's true and those are the
same people who unfortunately don't even
realize what's coming
that disinflation will lead to rate cuts
and then they'll miss out on the asset
boom where prices of stock start
skyrocketing again they'll miss out
because they misunderstood inflation
it's kind of like when I pitched Open
Door in my course member live stream on
April 20th 4 20. and I told everyone
this is going to two or three dollars
from a buck 40. buck 50 right around
there and that's exactly what it's doing
right now because we actually looked at
the core fundamentals and we're like oh
my gosh they just burned the bondholders
real estate prices are going up Open
Door is going to kill it even though I
hate the company they're going to kill
it in the short term that's exactly
what's happening
that same kind of blindness it's what's
going to happen to people when they
don't adopt artificial intelligence I
mean consider what the financial times
this morning said they said that
artificial intelligence could boost GDP
by seven percent above what GDP is going
to be over the next 10 years globally
Global GDP boost by seven percent means
American GDP will probably go up 30
percent over the next 10 years that is
going to be a boon to stocks it is going
to be amazing for American stocks
however it's going to be bad for up to
300 million jobs the financial times
thinks up to 300 million jobs
could end up being exposed to automation
this is exactly why you want to start
learning how to incorporate artificial
intelligence into your productivity
cycle and join those courses on building

because you want to get in before that
big price increase it's coming tonight
so where are people spending money and
what does this mean for CPI why is Nick
T wrong then
well first of all people aren't spending
money on meat literally Tyson Foods
thought their business would be
resilient and that you know they'd have
strong pricing power because meat is
inelastic oops apparently meat is
actually an elastic business which means
people spend less when prices go up now
all of a sudden Tyson's beef business is
considered to be struggling even as
cattle prices are really high because
Supply is down so cattle is expensive
because Supply is down but they can't
sell meat at higher prices because
nobody's buying it anymore well less
people are buying it instead people seem
to be spending money on luxury air
travel with more people looking for
perks in first class travel or booze
coming back to Airlines
and less people are spending money where
the media is telling you there's pricing
power the media told you just a few days
ago that Nestle has pricing power that
they raise prices on kitkats by nine
percent
while reports are now coming out that
consumers are actually skipping snacks
and grocery lines more they're spending
more money on experiences not on those
kitkats but then again media lying to
you is not a surprise so what did we
learn from Nick T Nick T just posted a
chart that said core CPI is up on a
three-month annualized basis and
obviously if Nick T the fed's mouthpiece
is talking about this this is concerning
right
well there are two problems with Nick
T's chart from The Wall Street Journal
mainstream media same corporation that
just fired Tucker Carlson Tucker Carlson
by the way now bringing his show to
Twitter which I by the way think is
absolutely brilliant I personally think
on a tangent here that Tucker Carlson
could probably 10x his income by going
to Twitter if his contract was 35
million dollars and he gets a million
subscribers on Twitter paying him 10
bucks a month he's looking at 120
million dollars that's almost triple his
income on top of that he would keep
sponsor Revenue he could potentially 5
to 10 x his income it's absolutely
brilliant but let's analyze what Nick T
said on Twitter so he told us well the
six-month rate of inflation is 4.8
percent but the three-month rate of
inflation is 5.1 percent oh my gosh
that's an acceleration oh fodder for the
Bears the Bears are like oh yeah oh give
me that tweet um so good so delicious
they say two problems with the chart
one the chart is partly propped up by a
4.4 rise in used car data
4.4 rise in used car data that sounds
bad
well it sounds bad but Wall Street is
already looking right through that
because if you actually look at the last
four months of wholesale used car prices
they're plummeting
a lot April was one of the biggest
declines year over year in used car
prices why isn't that showing up in CPI
data because the CBI lags a lot
and so that means prices are actually
falling so yeah some of the data lags in
the CPI report but this has been the
problem for a very long period of time
the CPI data is lagging fortunately it
is falling so it's obvious even with it
lagging it's falling but let me try and
experiment with you let's take Nick T's
5.1 compared to that 4.8 right let's do
one adjustment to it let's just remove
used cars well if Nick T's chart says a
three-month annualized inflation is 5.1
percent then the way he achieves that is
you could take 5.1 and divide it by 4
and then you'll get how much they're
multiplying an average three month
inflation by right so they're taking
1.275 for a three month period and
they're multiplying it by four and
they're getting to 5.1 okay well quick
math if we take 11.4 basis points which
is how much used car prices went up in
this last month
we multiply that by three assuming zero
impact from used cars
not even deflation yet then what you're
going to do is you're going to subtract
from this
0.34 minus
0.342 to be exact okay 1.275 minus 0.342
what do you get you get
0.933 multiply that by four to get back
to an annualized figure and what do you
actually have not 5.1 percent but
3.73 in otherwise in other words the
annual rate of inflation on Nick T's
chart if you just removed this big surge
you got from used car prices which we
already know used car prices are falling
would actually be substantially lower on
all accounts on Nick T's chart so once
again looking at lagging data but folks
it's not just used cars look at housing
which historically lags not only does
housing historically lag but housing
accounted for sixty percent of the
inflation we just saw in this inflation
report
now this isn't to say that high rents
are a good thing but rent growth is
slowing in fact rent growth slowed to
the lowest level since July of 2022
which is exactly what Jerome Powell told
us to look at he told us to look at
Services X housing which is the most
important part of what the Federal
Reserve is paying attention to and that
number came in at just
1.36
annualized that's nothing here it is on
the chart
well below two percent in fact some are
going as far as saying whether you look
at some good segments like Apparel News
or Services segments housing Leisure
Hospitality they're all indicating
softening pressure hotel rates fell at
their largest rate in the last 20 years
personally I think that has a lot to do
with Airbnb this morning in the course
member livestream we reviewed the
fundamentals of Airbnb in in the
dramatic pressure the company is now
putting on Supply and marketing that is
Airbnb is trying to do everything they
can to get more people into Airbnb to
list properties on Airbnb but that's
going to have the effect of forcing
prices down so they can get their nights
booked up a very important metric for
their stock their stock is falling
because Knights booked fell
now unfortunately if you increase Supply
you're going to squeeze prices down
which squeezes the profit for hosts
it actually potentially hurts the whole
point of doing Airbnb which is to make
money but now you're squeezing that out
and you're potentially creating an even
worse service which I'm not the biggest
fan of the service you often get on
Airbnb I think it's very inconsistent
now obviously one report from Airbnb or
one CPI here report does not make a
trend but let's put it this way the
consumer is still strong and it's
actually strengthening not weakening
which is mind-blowing per Bank of
America survey on top of that housing is
recovering which is bullish for our real
estate startup and if this trend
continues for the next four months by
let's say September 20th 2023 mark this
date and hold me to it by March 20th
2023 if we stay on this trend I believe
the Federal Reserve will initiate their
first 25 basis point cut if we have four
reports like this this one and three
more we'll get a 25 BP cut
what do you think stocks are going to do
at that point
thanks so much for watching if you found
this perspective helpful consider

I'm building a rough link down below and
we'll see in the next one now I want you
to know this when it comes to AI
time is what's going to make you money
and if you can prove that value to an
employer you'll always be able to be
employed so this is another way of
making sure that you don't get replaced
