00:00You know what I mean when I say I've got something locked up like Fort Knox, right?
00:04Well, security at Kentucky's Fort Knox is famous and for good reason.
00:07The vaults are full of gold and they have long been the stuff of intrigue,
00:12sometimes even conspiracy. Attention skewed toward the conspiracy side last year when Elon Musk,
00:19at the time the head of Doge, reacted to a social media user who suggested he should check on that
00:24gold for fear that it could have been stolen. Now, it's not entirely clear what came of that
00:29exchange, but now, all this time later, President Trump is getting involved. Here he is on full
00:34measure with Sheryl Atkinson. Well, we wanted to go knock on the door, Fort Knox, very thick door,
00:40and to see whether or not we have any gold in there, you know, because if we take a look
00:44at it,
00:44it's a very interesting question, yeah? We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort
00:50Knox because they steal a lot. No need to really do that, though? Well, I don't know. I think it's,
00:55I do want to go to Fort Knox sometime. I want to see if the gold is there, which I'm
01:01sure it will
01:01be. First off, very thick door is just a very funny descriptor for Fort Knox of all places.
01:07Anyway, Fort Knox is no longer the largest repository of gold in the country, but it's
01:12believed that there are over 9 million pounds of it in there, so yeah, not nothing. While Fort Knox gives
01:18that Scrooge McDuck vault vibes in pop culture, the largest gold deposit is actually just a couple
01:24miles from where I'm sitting right now, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York building near Wall Street
01:29in Manhattan. If I could just find 10 more people, Becker's 11 has a nice ring to it, right? It's
01:35better
01:36than oceans.
