Dunagun Kaiser appears to be the host/voice of Liberty & Finance, with a platform focused on market commentary for precious metals, retirement assets, and macro-financial risk. In the supplied transcript context, he frames conversations around retirement vulnerability, custodial risk, gold/silver markets, and systemic financial stress, often guiding guests toward warnings for retail investors. The resolved identity links point to Liberty & Finance and an X handle associated with his name, though the X lookup was not resolvable, so the identification is moderately supported rather than fully verified.
Kaiser’s recurring economic worldview, as reflected in the Liberty & Finance material, is strongly precautionary and anti-fiat. He consistently foregrounds the idea that conventional financial assets are fragile in the face of banking, custodial, or monetary breakdowns, and he tends to interpret market and policy developments through a lens of systemic instability. The repeated themes are debt excess, inflation risk, financial repression, vulnerability of retirement accounts, and the appeal of hard assets—especially gold and silver—as protection against a disorderly reset. He also appears receptive to narratives about centralization, digital control, and structural changes that could transfer risk from institutions to ordinary investors. The evidence is strongest for a sound-money, capital-preservation orientation rather than a detailed policy program.

Preview:Michael Pento argues that the U.S. is inside an unprecedented multi-asset bubble—equities, real estate, and credit—sustained by Federal Reserve monetization and that the next recession could force a far uglier reset in deficits, inflation, rates, and asset prices. His near-term stance is tactical rather than panic-driven: he is not fully in bunker mode yet, but says he is positioning carefully, favoring gold/miners and watching for warning signs in credit spreads, financial conditions, and Fed balance-sheet policy.
Preview:Alex Newman joins Liberty and Finance to argue the AI bubble is nearing collapse, driven not by market forces but by government/intelligence-community funding aimed at building a digital surveillance infrastructure. He ties AI, CBDCs/stablecoins, data centers, and the Iran-linked fertilizer crisis into a broader warning: elites are engineering a catastrophic economic crisis to force through tokenized digital currency and totalitarian control. He recommends grassroots opt-outs (cash, gold, state-level resistance) and homeschooling as countermeasures.
Preview:JT Starzki, Executive Chairman of Guardian Metal Resources (formerly Guardian Metals), presents a bullish thesis on tungsten driven by zero US domestic mine supply, a ban on Chinese/Russian tungsten for defense uses, and a depleted US strategic stockpile. The company has advanced its Pilot Mountain project through PFS (strong economics: $1.3B NPV, ~1-year payback at spot prices), listed on NYSE, and holds a second asset (Tempiute) with existing infrastructure and surface stockpiles that could provide near-term revenue. The DLA and Department of War are actively engaged, and Starzki argues the company is the nearest-term domestic tungsten solution.
Preview:Bill Holter, a former Wall Street branch manager and gold/silver bullion dealer, argues that the global financial system is mathematically insolvent and headed for an inevitable credit crisis centered on the US dollar. He frames the recent gold and silver pullback as an overdone gut check within a continuing bottoming process — not an exit. His core thesis: own physical gold and silver with no counterparty risk, hold stock certificates for commodity companies, and prepare for systemic breakdown because fiat currencies are derivatives of gold that have already collapsed 99.5% in real terms. He highlights the derivatives market as the "gorilla in the room," the Japanese yen carry trade unwinding as a potential trigger, and China's move to ban gold/silver rehypothecation as a signal that the paper market is losing credibility.
Preview:Dr. Arthur T. Bradley argues that AI and the data-center buildout behind it are advancing too fast, with too little caution, and could create major social, economic, environmental, and psychological harm. He frames AI as a kind of arms race: useful for productivity and possibly medicine, but also a driver of job loss, misinformation, dependence, and a loss of human agency. The discussion then shifts to the physical costs of data centers — electricity, water, pollution, noise, land use, and e-waste — which he sees as increasingly severe and unevenly imposed on communities, especially in places like Virginia.
Preview:Andrew Winnett argues that the legal structure of modern custodial finance leaves ordinary retirement assets vulnerable in a broad banking or custodial failure, and he frames this as a potential "Great Taking" scenario. He links that risk to a looming debt, demographics, inflation, and banking-stability problem, then recommends physical gold and silver, long-horizon real estate, and selected annuities as defensive tools. The interview ends with a promo for his film Retirement Reset and a Miles Franklin metals ad read.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the market is being driven by a narrow, crowded AI/speculation trade while central banks quietly accumulate gold and the precious-metals market is being distorted by unusual delivery, premium, and hedging dynamics. He sees the near-term setup as fragile for equities, still constructive for gold/silver over time, and thinks inflation, weaker rates, and a softer dollar are the likely policy path.
Preview:Hugh Agro, CEO of Revival Gold, joins from the Rule Symposium to make the case that gold developer stocks are trading at historically attractive valuations versus senior producers and the gold price itself. He argues the long-term gold bull case is intact — driven by continued Chinese central bank buying, de-dollarization, and a structural supply deficit from a decade-plus of underinvestment in exploration — despite a recent pullback from ~$4,000/oz. The bulk of the interview is a pitch for Revival Gold's two US-based development assets (Mercur in Utah, a 4.6M oz project in Idaho), emphasizing the team's track record, institutional backing, strong balance sheet, and management insider buying.
Preview:Andy Schechtman (Miles Franklin CEO) argues that massive COMEX physical deliveries in gold and silver signal something structural is shifting — likely government or sovereign entities standing for delivery. He discusses the non-event of Judy Shelton's gold-backed Treasury bond idea on July 4th but sees the concept as far from dead. He notes premiums have been crushed by a "perfect storm" of margin hikes, ETF rebalancing, public selling, and dealer 2026 allocations, but expects normalization. He sees new faces at the Rule Symposium as a sign of awakening retail interest.
Preview:John Rubino discusses three main themes: gold and silver testing support levels after a multi-month decline (gold at $4,000, silver near $60); widening dealer premiums on physical metals and how to navigate them; and Blackstone pulling out of a major AI data center project — which he flags as a potential "smart money exits, retail holds the bag" top-of-cycle signal for the AI/tech bubble. He also touches on junior miners benefiting from producer free cash flow and M&A, and frames the push to let retail into pre-IPO allocations as exit-liquidity engineering by tech elites.
Preview:David Morgan (the "Silver Guru") addresses the recent news about copper replacing silver in solar panels, arguing it's a real but slow-moving trend — not an overnight silver demand killer. He discusses the multi-year timeline for copper substitution, the thrifting history in solar, and argues that industrial demand is only part of the silver story; monetary demand is the real price mover. He remains bullish long-term, sees silver exceeding its $120-121 January 2026 high, but candidly assigns a ~5% probability that the parabolic move and 50% decline already marked the cycle top — pointing to 1980 and 2011 analogs. He reveals he bought more silver the prior Friday.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that China is actively dumping dollars and preparing to back the yuan with gold, evidenced by massive gold imports (~700t YTD), silver imports exceeding 2,000t, and building a physical gold marketplace in Hong Kong. He sees this as the earliest sign of a crack-up boom in fiat currencies, with the dollar's collapse accelerating. Japan's yen and JGB market are flagged as an immediate vulnerability, while resurgent socialism across the G7 deepens the fiscal crisis. His core advice: exit credit exposure and hold physical precious metals as the only money without counterparty risk.
Preview:Rick Rule argues that higher long-term rates and a stronger dollar have created a better entry point for gold, silver, energy, and base metals rather than invalidating the bull case. His core message is that underinvestment, fiscal deterioration, and geopolitical distrust of U.S. asset custody make hard assets and certain resource producers more attractive, while near-term price weakness is mostly noise.
Preview:Frank Trotter argues the banking system still carries meaningful stress risk from thin capital, commercial real estate weakness, and large trading/derivatives books, while stablecoins are likely to become a normal payments tool over the next several years. He also says the Genius Act was designed in part to support Treasury demand, but it does not fully solve the U.S. deficit problem, and he highlights privacy and self-custody tradeoffs versus bank deposits.
Preview:Ed Steer argues the metals selloff is a deliberate, repeated COMEX washout rather than a logical response to inflation or rates. He says the setup remains extremely bullish because bank/ commercial shorts are near record lows, physical and official-sector buying is strong, and the current plunge may be the final flush before a much larger revaluation in gold and silver.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that a gold-backed Treasury concept tied to the July 4, 2026 anniversary is plausible, though still only a 50/50 possibility in his view. He frames it as part of a broader effort to solve America’s debt, deindustrialization, and reserve-currency problems by pairing stablecoins/Treasuries with a gold-repricing mechanism that could support manufacturing and reduce dollar stress.
Preview:Ranj Pillai argues that gold is entering another durable demand cycle driven by geopolitical stress, central-bank buying, and undeployed capital moving into precious metals and critical minerals. He says the junior mining segment should benefit next, and highlights CA Mining’s low-debt, cash-rich, direct-shipping-of-ore model in northwestern Ontario as a relatively simple way to convert existing gold assets and stockpiles into near-term value.
Preview:Joel Skousen argues that the recent US-Iran deal is fragile, driven by Israeli pressure and a near-term oil shock risk, while separately warning that Russia is weakening in Ukraine, the West’s “globalist” network still shapes geopolitics, and an EMP-driven collapse could wipe out financial access and modern supply chains.
Preview:Andy Schectman uses a weekly Liberty and Finance appearance to make a broader argument about trust, relationships, and accountability, then closes with a few precious-metals specials. The main market message is less about a specific near-term trading call and more about his view that eroding trust in institutions, government, and the monetary system is part of the backdrop for owning real assets like gold and silver.
Preview:Craig Hemke argues that the real driver of gold and silver is not the nominal dollar price but the ongoing devaluation of the dollar through deficit spending, monetization, and negative real rates. He expects the Fed and Treasury to work more closely together to cap yields, keep the system financed, and tolerate more dollar weakness, which he says should ultimately support precious metals even if short-term price action is choppy.
Preview:Chris Patala, CEO/director of Oceanic Iron Ore, makes the case that high-purity iron ore is a scarcer and more strategically important commodity than gold or silver because it is needed for steel, infrastructure, and green steel. He argues Oceanic’s Quebec project has a major logistical edge, strong management backing, and multiple near-term catalysts including a PFS, permitting progress, and possible strategic partnerships.
Preview:Alex Newman argues that elites and governments are using money printing, surveillance platforms, and international institutions to erode liberty, seize wealth, and centralize control. He says the response is not panic but local resilience: get out of the state system where possible, build trusted community networks, homeschool, use real money/real assets, and support decentralized alternatives.
Preview:Bill Holter argues that the recent pullback in gold and silver is a tactical, paper-driven shakeout inside a still-higher regime, with the real thesis being currency debasement and eventual system stress. He says metals are being used as liquidity sources, silver is a tiny market that can be suppressed, and physical ownership matters because the financial system itself may eventually freeze.
Preview:John Rubino argues that the simultaneous selloff in silver, gold, and tech is being driven by a dangerous mix of war-driven energy stress, rising rates, stock market liquidation, and a looming attempt to channel retirement-liquidity into overvalued AI/space IPOs. He sees the current precious-metals dump as a tactical correction inside a still-intact secular bull market tied to fiat-currency debasement and government debt spiral dynamics, not the end of the cycle.
Preview:Darren Gordon argues that nickel is becoming more attractive because demand remains steady from stainless steel while battery demand is still growing, but supply is being squeezed by Indonesia’s dominance and rising input costs tied to sulfur and sulfuric acid. He frames Centaurus Metals’ Jaguar project in Brazil as a rare, low-cost sulfide nickel development that is better positioned than higher-cost laterite supply, and says the company has de-risked the asset enough to move toward funding and an investment decision.
Preview:Dr. Robert Malone argues that the core battle is not just over speech, but over mental autonomy: censorship, narrative management, and AI-driven profiling are now being used to shape what people think and feel. He frames his own deplatforming as part of a broader censorship-industrial complex, says COVID accelerated these trends, and ties them to a wider erosion of trust in institutions. The interview then pivots to his upcoming books, especially Homesteading for Health, which he presents as a practical response to dystopian centralization.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that silver is badly mispriced relative to physical tightness, industrial demand, and geopolitical disruption, and he believes the current paper-market structure cannot absorb the strain. He ties the silver setup to a broader thesis: China is restricting strategic materials, the Iran/Hormuz conflict is intensifying commodity shortages, and the fiat-dollar system is entering a debt- and yields-driven trap that ultimately favors gold and silver.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that precious metals are moving into a new regime where digital surveillance, tokenization, and tighter compliance make privacy harder, even if physical metal remains outside the system for now. His main trading view is that silver and gold can still bull higher, but the next move may differ from the post-2020 episode because weak hands have already been washed out and a new public buying wave could overwhelm supply instead of producing a cascade of selling.
Preview:Hugh Agro, founder, CEO, and president of Revival Gold, argues that the gold sector faces a long-run supply shortage because global mine production is rising faster than new discoveries. He says Revival Gold is positioned to benefit because it owns two U.S. brownfield gold projects with past production, existing infrastructure, and a path to production by 2029, starting with the Mercur project in Utah.
Preview:Rick Rule argues that gold remains structurally bullish over the next decade because fiat purchasing power is eroding, but he expects near-term softness in gold in USD terms if higher U.S. rates persist. He is more constructive on the long-run commodity backdrop than on the immediate tape, while warning that oil is especially sensitive to any de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz war risk.
Preview:This is a copper-focused interview with Kincora Copper CEO Sam Spring on Liberty and Finance. The core message is that copper is entering a structural supply deficit: new projects are scarce, existing mines are struggling to hold production flat, decarbonization and electrification are adding demand, and majors have underinvested in early-stage copper for years. Spring argues Kincora is positioned to benefit through a prospect-generator model, partner-funded drilling, and a recently announced divestiture that recycles capital out of Mongolia into New South Wales, Australia.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that precious-metals privacy is still intact for ordinary dealer transactions, but that broader financial tokenization and KYC/chain-based systems will erode anonymity by 2027. He is especially focused on silver: refiner backlogs remain heavy, retail premiums are still unusually cheap but starting to firm, and a new physically deliverable Singapore silver contract could shift price discovery away from COMEX/LBMA and expose the gap between paper silver and real metal.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino argues that the real danger is a global debt-market freeze, not a stock-market crash. He says the U.S. and world are moving into a permissioned, surveilled financial system built around stablecoins, control, and centralization, while physical gold and silver remain the practical hedge and exit ramp.
Preview:This is an interview on Liberty and Finance with Glenn Meder of the Privacy Academy arguing that privacy is the core right under attack. He frames online child safety laws, digital IDs, AI-enabled devices, and Big Tech platforms as part of a globally coordinated push toward total surveillance and a broader “digital control grid.”
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that persistent physical tightness in gold and silver is real and increasingly reflected in Chinese demand, COMEX outflows, and a broader shift away from dollar/treasury settlement. He connects that to higher gold and silver prices, financial-system fragility, and a growing preference for physical metal, short-duration Treasuries, and debt reduction.
Preview:Mani Alkhafaji, president of First Majestic Silver, walks through the company's Q1 2026 financial results just released, highlighting over $1B in treasury, margins of ~$52/oz on silver, and a quadrupling of dividend payouts. He frames the silver market as entering year six of a structural supply deficit (~150M oz annual gap) with no new material supply and growing demand from AI data centers, solid-state batteries, and solar. The restart of the Jerritt Canyon gold asset in Nevada is underway, and the company is running a 300km drilling program to extend mine life across its portfolio. The core message: miners are flush with cash, equities still lag the metals, and generalist investors haven't yet priced in the earnings leverage.
Preview:Bill Holter argues that silver is breaking out after a severe correction and that the move is supported by persistent global supply deficits and rising industrial demand. He ties the price action to a broader monetary warning: if the credit-based financial system fails, paper claims may become unreliable, leaving gold and silver as the main monetary refuges. The conversation also emphasizes practical preparedness themes, especially the advantages of pre-1965 U.S. silver coinage and direct ownership outside brokerage and banking systems.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that the Iran/Gulf conflict is escalating into a broader geopolitical and financial shock that will push bond yields higher, undermine sovereign funding, and accelerate a currency debasement cycle. He is especially bullish on silver, saying industrial demand, Chinese export tightening, COMEX/London drains, and LBMA stress are setting up an acute squeeze.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that recent price weakness in silver and gold is masking large-scale physical accumulation by sophisticated buyers, especially central banks, China, and entities like Tether. He says the petrodollar system is being chipped away by non-dollar oil trade and new payment rails, while AI, quantum computing, and stablecoin programmability raise the risk of leaving wealth fully inside digital systems.
Preview:Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr. argues that modern government and finance are evolving into a broad control grid built around property taxation, banking surveillance, smart devices, and eventually CBDCs. He says the practical effect is to shrink private ownership into conditional use, where authorities can monitor, restrict, or penalize behavior through the medium of exchange and connected technology. The episode ends on a defensive note: homeschool children, organize locally, and build resistance at the school board, county, and state levels.
Preview:An interview on Liberty and Finance with journalist Alex Newman arguing that ‘globalist’ networks, war, and education policy are connected parts of a coordinated effort to weaken US sovereignty and family life. The conversation is heavily political and ideological, with a short sponsor segment up front and at the end.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that precious metals are being supported by deep structural demand while paper-market volatility, rising Treasury stress, and expanding digital control rails make gold and silver more important as monetary and privacy hedges. He focuses on COMEX silver delivery stress, record Chinese silver and gold imports, central-bank accumulation, and the idea that stablecoins, digital ID, and vehicle surveillance could create a more controllable financial system.
Preview:John Rubino argues that the Iran/Middle East conflict and AI are both reinforcing a fragile setup that could turn into a deflationary recession or depression before a later inflationary response lifts gold and silver. He says the market is oddly complacent, expects stocks to keep grinding higher because of autopilot retirement flows, and thinks the best practical response is to build resilience, hold real assets, and use mining stocks selectively where cash flow and balance sheets are improving.
Preview:Michael Pento argues that U.S. markets are sitting on a three-part bubble in equities, credit, and real estate, and that the next major move is a credit-market break followed by a 30%+ stock drawdown. He says Fed balance-sheet policy is the key catalyst: if the Fed keeps shrinking QT stops or reverses, inflation and credit stress worsen; if it tightens again, the economy cracks instead. His defensive positioning is gold, silver, energy, and agriculture, while he is wary of bonds, semiconductors, private credit, and AI-related capex.
Preview:Edwin Vieira argues that private property rights in the U.S. are being steadily stripped through regulation, judicial doctrine, and educational indoctrination, leaving ownership in name but not in substance. He frames this as a long-running project tied to progressive education, eminent-domain expansion, Fourth Amendment reinterpretation, and international planning agendas.
Preview:A Liberty and Finance interview with Contango Silver and Gold CEO Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse and president/director Shawn Khunkhun argues that the post-merger company is set up for unusually strong per-share leverage to gold and silver. They emphasize a self-funded model: over $100 million of cash, roughly $100 million of annual free cash flow from Man Choh at current gold prices, and a planned ~$65 million exploration budget to advance Lucky Shot, Johnson Track, and Kitsault Valley without share dilution.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino delivers an apocalyptic macro thesis: the US is in a full-blown liquidity crisis, the dollar is being systematically destroyed, and the war, chaotic White House messaging, and stablecoin infrastructure (USD1, GENIUS Act) are all engineered toward a forced transition to a global digital control system. He argues ordinary Americans are being robbed via currency devaluation, artificially suppressed rates, and vast debt expansion — with the UAE's dollar-swap request and Hank Paulson's warnings as confirming signals. His prescription: get out of the dollar, own constitutional money (gold/silver), and become your own central bank.
Preview:David Jensen argues that oil, fertilizer, and precious metals are being repriced away from paper-futures benchmarks and toward physical scarcity, with the Middle East conflict accelerating a global supply squeeze. He expects the dislocation to hit Asia and Europe first, worsen food and energy inflation, and eventually feed into higher interest rates, weaker bonds/equities/real estate, and a stronger bid for gold and especially silver.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that gold and silver remain in a structural shortage regime, with physical deliveries, low open interest, rising margins, and inventory constraints showing that the “real” market is in the vaults rather than the paper price. He warns that waiting for the perfect moment to swap silver into gold is risky because product can vanish quickly, dealers hedge inventory, and retail buyers may be forced into prepayment or miss the move entirely.
Preview:Dunagun Kaiser uses a Q&A format to argue that the key retirement issue is not the dollar amount of savings, but preserving purchasing power through a currency debasement regime. He emphasizes physical gold and silver, especially silver, along with broad commodity exposure, preparedness, and careful custody/storage choices rather than trusting unallocated or overly convenient metal products.
Preview:Ed Steer argues silver and gold are set up for a major rally because open interest is extremely low, the largest COMEX traders are historically short, and physical inventories keep draining. He says recent war/ceasefire price action was manipulated and counterintuitive, not a normal safe-haven response.
Preview:Rick Rule says the Strait of Hormuz conflict is a real commodity shock with potentially major second-order effects, but the near-term market reaction has been distorted by dollar strength, liquidity needs, and a rush into the deepest, most liquid assets. He argues oil, gas, helium, fertilizers, aluminum, and mining inputs could face severe disruption over the next 3–6 months if there is no political solution, while reminding viewers that investors should raise liquidity, think probabilistically, and avoid overconcentration.
Preview:Alister Macleod argues that the fiat system is entering its endgame, with rising G7 bond yields, a weaker dollar, and a scramble into gold as the key responses. He says the Iran conflict and broader geopolitical stress are accelerating foreign selling of U.S. assets, which could force the Fed into intervention that further debases the dollar.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that rising physical deliveries in gold and silver, alongside distrust in U.S. institutions and the dollar system, are signs that the world is moving toward local-currency trade with gold used to settle imbalances. The interview also turns practical: he says retail supply is still surprisingly available, but smart money is already shifting into metals while the public remains largely asleep.
Preview:Joshua Philipp argues that Americans are increasingly losing practical ownership and autonomy through subscription-based products, centralized platforms, and public-private censorship structures. He links this to a broader "state capitalist" model in which corporations, government, and investment firms can jointly control access, speech, and behavior, and he extends that framework to Chinese influence operations in media, civil society, and protests in the U.S.
Preview:Phil Low argues that the recent weakness in gold and silver is not a refutation of the metals thesis but a symptom of a larger monetary breakdown. He says paper gold/silver markets, dollar credit creation, and the broader fiat system are all “monetary sins” that can suppress prices temporarily, but ultimately fail when the debt structure and confidence in dollars crack. In his view, the current crisis environment may first produce deflationary dollar demand, then a sharp move toward hyperinflation and physical-metal scarcity.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino warns of an engineered credit event and system collapse, urging physical precious metals accumulation and community preparedness. He frames the Iran conflict, "Genius Act" stablecoin legislation, and Trump's actions as deliberate steps toward economic destruction designed to force acceptance of a programmable, privatized digital dollar system. The interview is heavy on systemic-conspiracy narrative, light on specific market levels or timing, and functions primarily as a call to ideological realignment and physical gold/silver ownership.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the recent selloff in gold and silver is mainly structural and tactical rather than a sign the metals’ fundamentals have weakened. He says margin hikes, ETF rebalancing, paper-market leverage, and forced liquidation created the drop, while physical demand, COMEX deliveries, Chinese imports, and a drawdown in registered inventories point the other way. His broader view is that debt, war spending, inflation, and dedollarization are increasing the long-run case for precious metals, even if near-term price action remains volatile.
Preview:Bill Holter argues the financial system is already in the unwind phase, with private credit, rising sovereign yields, and bond-market fragility acting as early warning signals. His core prescription is to reduce exposure to the banking/brokerage/insurance system and hold physical gold and silver as the only reliable assets outside counterparty risk.
Preview:This is a live Liberty and Finance Q&A centered on precious metals accumulation, especially gold, silver, and 90% U.S. coinage. The speaker argues that monetary debasement, war spending, structural silver shortages, and rising industrial demand make metals a long-term store of value, while warning against SLV/GLD due to counterparty and government-seizure risk.
Preview:Mark Thornton argues that the war in the Persian Gulf could become a major economic shock because energy, fertilizers, chemicals, and shipping are global inputs, so higher oil and gas prices would ripple through everything from food to household budgets. He ties the conflict to a broader Austrian-school critique: decades of interventionism and money creation have produced a K-shaped economy, liquidity stress, and fragility in private credit and private equity, while gold, silver, miners, and other real assets remain long-term beneficiaries of inflation and rising commodity prices.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the precious-metals market is being distorted by paper pricing while physical demand and delivery are running hot, especially at the institutional level. He also spends much of the interview warning that the broader move toward digitized money, CBDCs, stablecoins, and digital ID could weaken private property rights, making gold and silver an important escape valve.
Preview:John Rubino argues that parts of the shadow banking system — especially private credit — may be rolling over in a way that resembles the early stage of the 2007-2008 subprime crisis. His practical conclusion is that people should reduce exposure to bank deposits and other financial claims, and gradually shift toward physical gold and silver plus select real-asset equities that are less dependent on counterparties.
Preview:Michael Pento argues the current mix of war risk, oil spikes, weak job creation, and heavy debt is producing a stagflationary setup that is bearish for the dollar and supportive of gold and silver. He says the market is still investable tactically, but the larger structure remains a multi-bubble, credit- and equity-heavy system that he thinks is becoming more fragile.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that physical metals markets are showing quiet but meaningful stress: COMEX silver looks thin, GLD outflows may reflect hidden physical sourcing, and bullion is being pulled out of Western systems without a public shortage headline. He also sees private-credit gating at BlackRock and Blackstone as another warning that liquidity and confidence are cracking.
Preview:Alex Newman argues that the Iran war is rapidly widening into a broader geopolitical and financial shock, with oil, shipping, debt, and munitions supply all becoming immediate risks. He also claims the Epstein files reveal not just sexual abuse but a deeper elite network tied to finance, transhumanism, and human experimentation.
Preview:Ed Steer argues that the silver, gold, platinum, and palladium markets are being artificially managed by concentrated short sellers and official market backstops, but that the physical market is now so tight that the paper shorting scheme is nearing its limits. He says COMEX/LBMA inventories, ETF holdings, and Chinese inventories are being drained, while commercial traders have been forced to cover shorts into a rising market.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues the Middle East war is a major strategic mistake that is already feeding through to oil, bonds, equities, and ultimately the dollar-based fiat system. He says Iran is more resilient than Western policymakers expect, that the conflict could widen and persist, and that China may respond with financial rather than military pressure on the U.S.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino argues the Middle East conflict is not a contained war but a global economic shock event that will drive higher energy, shipping, food, and resource costs, force more debt issuance, and justify deeper Federal Reserve and Treasury intervention. He frames the episode as part of a broader system of currency debasement, political deception, and social control, while urging viewers to hunker down and prepare for shortages and rising costs.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the recent jump in geopolitical risk and the growing volume of COMEX silver deliveries are signs that the paper-metals system is losing credibility. He says continued backwardation, central-bank repatriation, and large delivery outflows suggest physical demand is overpowering paper suppression, even if prices can be managed for a while longer.
Preview:Rick Rule argues gold’s 2025 breakout was the delayed response to years of fiscal deterioration and currency debasement, not a short-lived panic, and he thinks the precious-metals trade still has room to run even if prices pause. He is more constructive on mining and royalty equities than on physical silver at current levels, and he spends much of the interview explaining why arithmetic, not hype, should guide investors.
Preview:Doomberg argues that the biggest immediate macro risk is not yet reflected in markets: a potential US-Iran escalation that could spill into energy and LNG pricing, though current oil-gas spreads and European LNG prices do not show panic. He also says the recent silver collapse was a classic speculative blowoff, while gold remains the key monetary metal and, in his view, is likely to keep gaining strategic importance as a reserve asset and possible tool of fiat debasement management. He is sharply negative on proposals to steer retirement money into private equity, calling it a late-stage attempt to dump bad assets on American retirees.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that unusually large gold and silver delivery demands, persistent COMEX withdrawals, and East-West price gaps show physical metal is being quietly accumulated by informed buyers while paper pricing is being pushed around. He also thinks U.S. policy changes around stablecoins, treasury-backed issuance, and possible gold revaluation could structurally lift gold and weaken the dollar over time.
Preview:Mani Alkhafaji says silver’s recent correction looks like a consolidation after an overextended, parabolic move, and argues the bigger story remains a persistent structural deficit in silver supply versus demand. He frames First Majestic as a leveraged way to own silver, highlighting record 2025 results, higher production, a doubled dividend formula, and its new mint as ways the company is capturing more value from the metal.
Preview:This is a sponsor-style interview with Joaquín Marias, CEO of Argenta Silver, focused on why recent silver volatility does not change his bullish thesis and why Argentina/Argenta remain attractive. He argues silver’s pullback is a healthy correction, the supply-demand imbalance is intact, and Argenta’s project quality, jurisdiction, and newly strengthened balance sheet position the company to keep advancing exploration in 2026.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues the recent metals selloff is a deliberate shakeout, not a change in fundamentals. He says silver remains structurally tight, gold is gaining reserve-asset status, and the bigger macro story is a weakening dollar system under pressure from debt, energy, and infrastructure needs.
Preview:Keith Weiner argues that the recent metals surge was driven more by physical demand than by a durable speculative bid, and that the sharp pullback looked like leverage-driven futures positioning unwinding. He remains bullish on gold and silver, says Western retail still mostly does not own gold, and believes the bigger structural story is global de-dollarization pressure, cultural demand outside the U.S., and the need for redeemable, gold-linked monetary alternatives rather than mere “gold-backed” branding.
Preview:Shawn Khunkhun argues that gold and silver are in a supply-constrained bull market, with peak production already visible at major producers while demand keeps rising. His company, Dolly Varden Silver, is trying to turn that macro setup into a lower-risk growth vehicle by merging with Contango Ore, adding cash flow, reducing hedging, and pairing high-grade silver assets in British Columbia with a high-grade gold production platform in Alaska.
Preview:Michael Pento argues the economy is propped up by extreme debt, liquidity injections, and multiple overlapping bubbles, making the system fragile and vulnerable to a sharp reconciliation. He expects easier short rates but potentially much higher long rates if the Fed shrinks its balance sheet, and he says the long-bond market is the key stress point.
Preview:John Rubino argues that silver’s near-term price action may stay volatile, especially around the Chinese New Year shutdown and margin changes, but that the underlying bull case is intact: structural supply deficits, rising industrial use, government stockpiling, and growing physical demand should keep the trend higher over time. He also broadens the conversation into a “shrinking trust horizon,” linking distrust in institutions, the Epstein files, and practical resilience steps like owning real assets, building community, and using gradual accumulation rather than trying to trade every swing.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues the recent smash in silver and gold was a leverage flush, not a fundamental change, and that the metal moved from weak speculative hands into stronger institutional hands. He says margin hikes, ETF inflows, and tight COMEX/LBMA inventories all point to a market under physical stress rather than a broken bull trend.
Preview:Tony Giardini argues that Trilogy Metals has moved from a constrained, permitting-limited story to a materially de-risked critical-metals development story because of the Alaska road breakthrough and the U.S. government's strategic interest in domestic supply. He says the Arctic and Bornite assets are now better supported by higher commodity prices, a stronger policy backdrop, and upcoming 2026 catalysts including road work, exploration, permitting, and study work.
Preview:Ed Steer argues silver is in a historic squeeze: physical demand is overwhelming supply, exchange inventories are draining, and mining shares are failing to leverage the move the way they normally would in a precious-metals bull market. He expects that, if the current deficit and short pressure persist, silver could eventually jump to far higher prices in a discontinuous breakout, but he says the timing is unknowable and the system is now in uncharted territory.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that the dollar is entering an accelerating decline, with gold and commodities rising mainly because the currency is falling, not because those assets are independently surging. He ties this to geopolitical fragmentation, Chinese preparations for a post-dollar settlement system, and a worsening US funding outlook. On silver, he says the market is in a physical squeeze driven by real industrial and Asian demand, not speculation, and that China’s control of processing and stockpiles is tightening availability to the West.
Preview:This interview centers on Michael Rectenwald’s argument that US free speech is being narrowed by anti-Israel speech restrictions, especially Florida actions and the broader adoption of the IHRA antisemitism definition. He frames this as part of a larger political-capture problem in which foreign-backed donor and lobby networks shape US policy, intimidate critics, and chill speech through law enforcement and education policy.
Preview:Phil Low argues that silver’s recent surge should be understood less as a price chart and more as a breakdown in the dollar as a measuring stick. He thinks the familiar “technical top” arguments are losing relevance because, in his view, the dollar is collapsing and silver is reasserting itself as money alongside gold.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino argues that silver's move "hasn't even started," with a bottom target of $650/oz driven by an inevitable debt market implosion. He sees the US trapped in a debt-expansion death spiral — rates artificially suppressed, dollar being destroyed, and the world rejecting US debt and currency. The Trump administration, he contends, is managing a crisis-to-crisis governance model to engineer a transition to a fully tokenized financial system (the Genius Act). His core remedy: own physical gold and silver, avoid paper derivatives, and prepare for a scorched-earth monetary reset. The interview is heavy on systemic critique and light on near-term trading catalysts.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that silver is undergoing a structural breakout driven by physical tightness, record COMEX deliveries, rising lease rates, and backwardation, which he interprets as evidence that paper pricing is losing control. He also warns against predatory dealer practices, AI-generated misinformation, and overreliance on paper proxies like ETFs when the goal is true metal ownership.
Preview:Rick Rule says the metals move was largely delayed price action finally catching up to a long-standing bullish setup, but he thinks the easy upside in bullion has partly been realized. He has sold about 80% of his physical silver after it reached his target and rotated into silver equities, select senior gold names, and some oil and gas, while keeping physical gold as a savings asset.
Preview:Patrick Wood argues that the recent surge in gold and silver is not just a market move but part of a long-running shift toward technocracy, asset tokenization, and tighter control over property and spending. He says the metal rally reflects central-bank accumulation, prior suppression of precious metals, and a broader restructuring of money away from debt-based finance toward a tokenized system that could eventually undermine private property and personal financial freedom.
Preview:David Morgan argues that precious metals are in a genuine price-discovery phase, with gold, silver, and especially platinum benefiting from geopolitical stress, currency/debt concerns, and physical tightness. The interview also spends substantial time warning viewers about AI-generated silver videos and fake sourcing, with Morgan laying out practical red flags for spotting fabricated market content.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the precious-metals move is being driven by a physical squeeze rather than speculative enthusiasm: deliveries are surging, the paper market is losing control, and gold and silver should go materially higher despite volatility. He ties the setup to Fed independence concerns, falling real confidence in the dollar, and a global rotation away from Treasuries toward hard assets.
Preview:Alex Newman argues that a coalition of globalists, deep-state actors, and communist regimes is pushing the U.S. toward economic collapse, geopolitical overreach, and a digital surveillance system disguised as security. He is bullish on gold and silver, skeptical of stablecoins and AI policy, and sees honest money and reduced foreign entanglement as the main defenses against political and financial instability.
Preview:Bill Holter argues that the precious-metals market is becoming so tight that volatility is only going to intensify, especially in silver. He says physical supply is thinning, dealer premiums are rising, and a large enough order could now clear shelves in a way it might not have a few years ago.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that 2025 was defined by record physical silver and gold delivery into COMEX, with large, sophisticated buyers—banks, sovereigns, and industrial users—pulling metal off the exchange and tightening retail supply. He says the recent volatility is largely a leverage washout caused by margin hikes and that the underlying physical story has not changed; if anything, it is accelerating.
Preview:Dr. James Tour argues that a new flash-based process can recover critical metals from scrap electronics and mining tailings quickly, cheaply, and at scale, potentially reducing dependence on China and easing geopolitical competition over rare materials. He says the first commercial output will be gold, with printed circuit boards starting in January and larger throughput targets later in 2026.
Preview:Matthew Piepenburg argues the currency and debt system is in a structural breakdown, and that 2026 will likely feature more central-bank liquidity, weaker fiat, and continued strength in gold, with silver more volatile. He also frames cash-rights efforts in Switzerland and Sweden as small but meaningful resistance to a broader push toward programmable, trackable digital money.
Preview:Ed Steer argues that the precious-metals price suppression regime is ending, with silver leading the move and potentially headed far higher if commercial shorts keep getting forced to cover. He says the current rally is driven by real physical tightness, Eastern demand, and the failure of paper-market raids, while warning that AI/deepfake claims and exchange-rule rumors are misleading noise.
Preview:This is a sponsored Liberty and Finance segment that tours Miles Franklin’s bullion operations. The video focuses on melting, purity testing, packaging, shipping, and vault storage for physical gold and silver, while also advertising weekly bullion specials.
Preview:Bill Holter argues 2025 confirmed a major reset in precious metals and commodities, driven by rising global debt, a breaking carry trade, and worsening distrust in paper claims versus physical delivery. He sees backwardation, tight inventories, and widening physical premiums as evidence that the market is shifting toward cash-and-carry pricing and away from futures-based control.
Preview:Edwin Vieira argues the Biden autopen scandal is a symptom of broader constitutional collapse: executive actions, pardons, and even warlike measures are being issued without lawful process, and the people/branches meant to stop them are not doing so. He extends that critique to Trump’s Venezuela actions, calling them potentially unlawful blockades, piracy, undeclared war, and an example of a system that keeps drifting because nobody enforces the brakes.
Preview:Phil Low argues that the banking system is structurally insolvent, that the Fed’s discount window and standing repo facility are emergency lifelines rather than normal plumbing, and that a future monetary reset would revive silver as money. He extends the same debt-driven logic to mass migration and broader social dysfunction, then lays out multiple ways a weakened state could source silver after a crash.
Preview:Mitch Vexler argues that U.S. property taxation is built on systemic overvaluation and illegal bond financing, especially through school districts and appraisal districts that he says shift debt onto homeowners. He claims the resulting burden is pushing households toward bankruptcy, inflating housing costs, and could trigger a broader financial unwind if challenged at scale.
Preview:Rick Rule argues the current gold and silver bull market is being driven by persistent erosion in fiat purchasing power, large and growing U.S. fiscal liabilities, and the political likelihood of lower rates. He thinks the move is still early enough to continue for years, but warns investors to expect violent corrections and to survive them psychologically and financially.
Preview:Interview discussing the proposed merger of equals between Dolly Varden Silver and Contango Ore, creating Contango Silver and Gold. The speakers argue the combination pairs Dolly's high-grade silver resource in BC's Kitsault Valley with Contango's cash-flowing Alaska gold production (DSO model via Fort Knox mill), creating a well-funded mid-tier with ~30M shares outstanding, $200M+ cash, $100M annual free cash flow, and strong institutional/ETF index buying potential. The merger is framed as a way to accelerate development while derisking via operational cash flow, tier-one jurisdictions, and complementary management expertise.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that tokenized gold, if built with real transparency and delivery rights, could expose and weaken the paper gold system rather than simply modernize it. He extends that logic to BRICS-linked payment rails, saying gold-backed settlement systems are part of a broader move away from dollar-centric finance, while also pointing to record COMEX/LBMA delivery demand and rising physical tightness in silver as evidence that the market is already fraying.
Preview:James Wesley Rawles argues silver is the standout precious-metals hedge right now, both as a bargain versus gold and as practical barter money. The rest of the interview widens into preparedness advice: keep metals in hand, buy anonymously where possible, favor common ammunition, and consider moving to lower-density, freer states before regulations and taxes tighten further.
Preview:Joaquín Marias, CEO of Argenta Silver Corp, discusses silver's structural supply deficit and European investor forecasts of $100-$200 silver by 2026. He presents Argenta as a pure silver play (no lead/zinc/copper) in Argentina's mining-friendly Salta province, with infrastructure already in place, two active drill rigs, strong high-grade results, and backing from billionaires Frank Giustra and Eduardo Elsztain. The interview is promotional for Argenta but grounded in genuine industry dynamics.
Preview:Michael Pento says he has reduced risk and is moving more defensively because several liquidity gauges are flashing caution: the yen carry trade is under pressure, reverse repo liquidity is gone, bank reserves have fallen, and the real Fed funds rate remains positive. He thinks the recent selloff in Bitcoin, AI, and speculative metals may be the market’s way of signaling a broader liquidity problem, not just a normal correction.
Preview:Ed Steer argues that silver and gold prices are being artificially suppressed by a decades-old paper-market manipulation scheme run by bullion banks. Physical silver has been in a structural deficit for nearly six years, and London nearly ran out of available silver in October 2025. Steer believes the price suppression is unsustainable and expects silver to eventually reach triple digits ($300–$500/oz target), but timing is uncertain. He advises retail investors to accumulate physical metal now rather than trying to time entries, because when supply finally breaks, physical will become unavailable at any price.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod warns that a massive credit bubble — fueled by margin lending on stocks and crypto — is reaching a breaking point. He estimates up to $10 trillion in stock is held on margin, with falling prices likely triggering cascading forced selling. While gold could temporarily sell off in the panic, central bank buying and China's new gold-backed yuan infrastructure fundamentally change the setup from 2008. The ultimate outcome: the Fed will be forced to debase the dollar to rescue the system, destroying the currency.
Preview:Alex Newman argues the West is undergoing a deliberate "controlled demolition" driven by UN climate policy, elite global governance, and industrial offshoring—especially to China. He says climate policy is being used as a wealth-redistribution and sovereignty-eroding tool, while food, farming, education, and personal finance are also being pulled into centralized control. His practical advice is to localize food, education, community, and savings, and to build resilience outside major institutions.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino delivers a stark warning: the US financial system is in a systemic crisis already underway, propped up by artificially suppressed rates, currency devaluation, and debt expansion. He predicts the endgame is a deliberate credit freeze — a lock-up where debit cards stop working and transactions halt — designed to break the population into accepting a privatized, corporate-backed stablecoin system (the GENIUS Act, signed July 2025). His preferred safe havens: physical silver first, then gold, with some Bitcoin exposure. The trigger to watch: uncontrolled spikes in the 10-year Treasury yield (20-50 basis points in a day).
Preview:Bill Holter argues that silver and gold are in a meaningful physical squeeze, with London and Shanghai both tight and COMEX potentially at risk of delivery stress over the next 1-3 months. He says the recent pullback has merely relieved overbought conditions, while the bigger story is growing global demand for actual ounces over paper promises.
Preview:Phil Low of The Bitter Draft discusses three topics: (1) realistic expectations for societal violence during a monetary collapse — using Weimar Germany as a historical guide, he estimates ~2,000 political assassinations scaled to US size but stresses this is not civilization-ending and that the crisis phase should last only 3-6 months; (2) the "gentleman's portfolio" of one-third gold/silver, one-third productive land, one-third stocks/bonds — recommending overstacking metals now to swap into assets during the crash; (3) how to spot economic bubbles — easy credit, unsophisticated participants, claims of "new paradigms," and no actual profits signal bubble conditions, with the ultimate bubble being fiat money itself.
Preview:David Morgan ("The Silver Guru") discusses the growing tension between paper and physical silver markets, highlighting how tightness in 1,000-oz commercial bars is now driving pricing more than derivatives. He details the recent LBMA/COMEX arbitrage flow, notes that lease-rate calm may be temporary, and warns of a high probability of another physical squeeze. The conversation broadens to the link between dishonest money and societal decay, his new documentary "Silver Sunrise," and the systemic corruption in precious metals custody.
Preview:Jeffrey Tucker discusses three main themes: the erosion of civic duty and citizenship, how SNAP/food stamp programs create a degrading dependency-industrial complex, and the extreme fragility of our digital infrastructure. He predicts an AI bubble collapse that will make the dot-com bust look trivial, triggering banking meltdowns. His stance is broadly libertarian — pro-voting as citizenship, anti-welfare state, and deeply skeptical of over-reliance on complex digital systems. The episode is light on actionable market analysis and heavy on cultural-political commentary.
Preview:Glenn Meder, founder of Privacy Academy, discusses three major threats to privacy and financial freedom — hackers/scammers, Big Tech, and "Big Brother" (government) — all of which he argues are converging to collect data and weaponize it against individuals. He frames AI as the superpower amplifying these threats, capable of observing, profiling, and manipulating people at an individual level. Meder advocates for personal privacy measures (VPNs, browsers, passwords, device choices) and promotes his upcoming November 20th educational webinar on practical privacy steps.
Preview:Patrick Wood argues that two irreconcilable economic systems — capitalism (debt-based, private property) and technocracy (asset-based, resource control by oligarchs) — are in a fight to the death. He traces technocracy from 1932 Columbia University through Brzezinski and the Trilateral Commission to today's tokenization push, framing the Trump administration's crypto/asset-tokenization agenda, AI-driven social engineering, and the 2020 lockdowns as expressions of a century-long technocratic takeover that aims to strip private property from humanity.
Preview:This episode argues that the 60/40 portfolio framework is breaking down in a credit-bubble, fiat-currency environment and that gold/silver are increasingly necessary as protection. Alasdair Macleod emphasizes that bond yields, debt servicing, and gold supply constraints make the classic playbook unreliable, while Andy Schectman adds that institutional buying and central-bank repatriation show the shift is already underway.
Preview:Teo Dechev, CEO of Mundoro, argues the copper market is at an unusually attractive entry point due to a convergence of factors: a decade of underinvestment in exploration, multiple simultaneous supply disruptions (Grasberg mudslide, Congo earthquake, South American delays), and surging demand from AI data centers and grid buildout. He frames the US tariff policy as counterproductive to domestic infrastructure goals. Dechev positions Mundoro as a pure-play project generator with prime land packages in Serbia, Bulgaria, and Arizona, anchored by strategic partnerships with BHP and JOGMEC. The interview blends macro copper thesis with company promotion — Dechev is a paid sponsor of the channel.
Preview:Michael Pento, active money manager at Pento Portfolio Strategies, discusses the sharp October 21 selloff in precious metals (gold down ~7%, silver down ~8%). He argues nothing fundamental has changed: the Fed is cutting rates, ending QT, and already expanding its balance sheet; deficits remain at $1.8 trillion; and foreign central banks continue shifting reserves from Treasuries into gold. Pento calls the selloff a healthy, necessary pullback in an ongoing secular bull market. He warns that the US is an insolvent nation heading toward intractable stagflation and a bond market crisis, which would be the signal to exit risk assets entirely. He critiques the traditional 60/40 portfolio as obsolete given that stocks, bonds, credit, and housing are all in simultaneous bubbles at historically extreme valuations.
Preview:Peymon Mottahedeh, founder of Freedom Law School, argues that by the literal text of the US tax code, citizens of the 50 states are not legally required to file or pay federal income tax — the statutory definition of "United States" in tax law allegedly means only Washington DC and territories. He claims to have operated openly without filing for over 30 years under active IRS criminal investigation without prosecution, and says none of his students have gone to prison since 2001. The interview is essentially a pitch for his website and his "restore freedom plan" — a pooled legal-defense fund. No market thesis, no investment edge, no asset analysis.
Preview:Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, reports that the silver market is experiencing unprecedented stress — massive backwardation, $3+ premiums to futures (levels not seen since 1980), lease rates spiking above 100% annualized, and major wholesalers/mints freezing trading due to inability to hedge. He argues this is not manipulation but forced liquidation from financing costs and illiquidity. Physical product — silver eagles, gold eagles, platinum bars — is disappearing or commanding extreme premiums. He dismisses mainstream narratives about silver flowing back to London as "spin doctoring" and advises cost-averaging into positions rather than waiting for pullbacks.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draft, answers Liberty and Finance viewer questions about gold, silver, the coming dollar collapse, and crypto. He frames the Federal Reserve note as a Ponzi scheme sustained by mass psychosis, predicts a fiat reset forcing a return to gold/silver, and dismisses cryptocurrency as "nothing" that will fail in a collapse. The interview covers why the public ignores precious metals, vault storage safety, the gold-silver ratio target, and whether silver will remain monetized post-reset.
Preview:Jeffrey Tucker argues that the world was systematically pillaged between 2020-2025 by a three-pronged conspiracy of political consolidation, digital technology, and pharmaceutical interests, destroying 25-40% of global wealth. He ties this to property taxes as a continuing theft mechanism, discusses the Florida property tax abolition movement, and frames the COVID era as a deliberate attack on property rights, bodily autonomy, and community. The conversation covers the philosophical roots of American liberty via Jefferson, the housing bubble, inflation as intentional wealth transfer, and the existential question of whether to flee failing jurisdictions or stay and fight.
Preview:This episode is a roundtable on the fragility of the dollar-centered financial system and the case for moving wealth into gold, silver, and, to a lesser extent and with disagreement, crypto. Andy Schectman argues the world is already shifting toward BRICS-led settlement rails and gold-backed trade, Rick Rule says the dollar may remain the least-bad reserve currency for a long time but still should not be held as a savings vehicle, and Alasdair Macleod is far more bearish on fiat credit and crypto, urging a move out of credit and into gold.
Preview:Rick Rule and Alasdair Macleod argue that the post-1982 macro regime is over: long-duration bonds, traditional diversification, and reliance on fiat-currency purchasing power are no longer enough. They see gold as the clearest hedge against declining real purchasing power, with Macleod calling physical gold the only real defense and Rule framing gold as a core but not exclusive allocation.
Preview:Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, discusses the relentless rally in gold and silver, with gold at $3,858 and silver at $47.30. He highlights unprecedented short positions in SLV and GLD that are failing to suppress prices, signals that major institutions (Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, BlackRock) are now advising 20-25% gold allocations, and the BRICS-led erosion of dollar dominance through non-dollar commodity trade settlement. Schectman warns physical supply is tightening fast, premiums are rising, and a modest uptick in public demand could "decimate availability." He also flags systemic risks in residential real estate and the implications of Tether's gold accumulation.
Preview:Paul Sickles argues that the U.S. dollar is steadily losing purchasing power, that this is masked by nominal account balances and cultural trust in 401(k)s and bank deposits, and that gold/silver ownership is a practical way to preserve value and help others later. He frames the point as both personal protection and a responsibility to prepare one’s family, church, or community for coming financial stress.
Preview:James Wesley Rawles argues that gold, silver, and platinum are in the early stages of a secular bull market driven by fiat currency debasement, persistent physical shortages, and rising global demand. He sees silver especially as underpriced and expects futures-market strain to eventually force cash settlement for non-industrial users, producing a major repricing across precious metals.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that silver is in a structural squeeze, with London lease rates spiking, physical deliveries surging, and available free float looking inadequate versus outstanding paper claims. He extends the same bullish logic to gold, saying central-bank buying, rising geopolitical/financial stress, and imminent Fed cuts are all supportive while mainstream media misses the shift.
Preview:Mitch Vexler, president of Mockingbird Properties, presents a detailed whistleblower case alleging a $5.1 trillion (potentially $17.1 trillion) fraud in US school district bond issuance, driven by systematically inflated property tax valuations. He argues that central appraisal districts, owned by school districts, fabricate property values to justify larger bond issuances, creating a Ponzi scheme that equity-strips homeowners. The Texas amicus brief he recently filed seeks to force judicial review. He warns of systemic bank contagion via bond holdings, advocates for precious metals as protection, and calls for SEC intervention, criminal complaints against chief appraisers, and eventual repeal of property taxes in favor of a uniform sales tax.
Preview:Mark Thornton argues the U.S. is already on the early “on-ramp” to hyperinflation because of massive federal debt, persistent deficit spending, and ongoing money creation by the Fed. He says the public, foreign central banks, and even major investors are responding by moving toward hard assets like gold, silver, and some crypto, while the dollar and U.S. Treasuries lose trust.
Preview:Phil Low argues that modern credit is inherently unstable and that a coming "monetary panic" will force people back toward direct money, especially gold and silver. He extends that thesis into a critique of Keynesian-style macroeconomics, then says the "Great Taking" risk may make directly held metals or directly invested mining funds preferable to ordinary brokerage exposure.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod lays out a bearish macro thesis: the US and other G7 nations are in debt traps, with long-end bond yields breaking out (UK, Japan, Germany leading, US long bond near critical 5.1%). He argues a 2026 inflation surge is being ignored, driven by recession-widened deficits and eventual Fed/Treasury bailouts that will crash the dollar. He draws a detailed parallel to Weimar Germany 1920–1923, where a stock market boom masked impending currency collapse. His core prescription: get out of credit and into physical gold. The interview covers stagflation, housing market seizure, and the political impossibility of fixing the debt spiral.
Preview:Ed Steer argues that the COMEX silver market is increasingly unstable because banks have been using futures to suppress prices and are now reducing their short exposure. He believes that if silver is allowed to break out, the move could be violent enough to threaten the financial system, force market closures, and reprice gold and silver much higher.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that gold’s move is really a global currency debasement story and a sign of a broader monetary reset, not just a normal bull market. He ties the rally to Fed independence risks, heavy Treasury issuance, foreign central bank buying, weak labor data, and growing stress in bonds and banks, and says the setup favors gold and silver over cash, bonds, or stretched risk assets.
Preview:Constitutional attorney John Whitehead warns of an accelerating surveillance state under the Trump administration, arguing that AI-driven data collection, real ID facial tracking, proposed wearables, and militarized policing together represent a slide toward "martial law" and algorithmic dictatorship. He emphasizes that the Fourth and Tenth Amendments still provide legal tools to resist federal overreach, but that an uneducated citizenry — including lawyers and judges who cannot name the five freedoms of the First Amendment — has left those rights dormant. His core call to action: "education precedes action." The interview is civics-focused with no direct market or investment content.
Preview:Michael Rectenwald argues the Trump administration is a "backdoor Trojan horse" for the Great Reset, not its opponent. He details First Amendment violations via crackdowns on "anti-Semitic" speech, Second Amendment threats through surveillance tech like Gideon and Palantir, and Tenth Amendment breaches via federal troop deployments. He ties this to globalist control through BlackRock's Larry Fink now heading the WEF, and warns listeners to exit fiat currency for gold before programmable stablecoins become a CBDC-like control mechanism.
Preview:JT Starzecki, Executive Chairman of Guardian Metal Resources, presents the company's investment case centered on domestic US tungsten production. He details the DoD award under the DPA Title III Ukraine supplement program, the acquisition of the Tempiute project in Nevada, a $21M equity raise from supportive shareholders, and the macro tailwind of China's February 2025 export ban on tungsten — positioning Guardian Metal as the leading domestic supplier of this critical defense mineral.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of the Bitterdraft channel, argues that the sovereign-force theory of money is wrong — money is fundamentally the most liquid commodity (gold, silver, copper), not a byproduct of state taxation. He contends we never actually left a gold standard; the banking system merely prints notes against gold it doesn't have, which is why prices moved smoothly in 1971 rather than repricing violently. He frames the current system as a literal Ponzi scheme nearing its endgame, with extreme Fed volatility between cutting and hiking as the tell. Precious metals are the only safe harbor, but he warns that in the initial crisis metals prices could paradoxically fall before ultimately surviving as the "lifeboats."
Preview:This interview centers on James Wesley Rawles’ warning that AI, geopolitics, fiat money, and tokenization all push society toward less freedom and more coercion. He argues that tangible assets, especially silver, platinum, land, food storage, and other hard assets, are the best defenses for individuals and families.
Preview:Bill Holter argues the U.S. debt problem is beyond repair: if Treasury demand breaks, the Fed becomes the buyer of last resort, rates rise, credit seizes, and gold/silver are the only reliable stores of value. He also says metal holders may need to keep some liquidity because many people are already selling metal to pay bills, while banking-system and custody risks make direct ownership preferable.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that a broad de-dollarization and hard-asset re-pricing process is underway, with physical gold and silver demand signaling a deeper shift than headline equity or GDP data suggest. He ties Africa’s proposed mineral-backed settlement currency, China’s gold accumulation, U.S. Treasury market stress, and record COMEX deliveries into one thesis: the “big money” and some sovereign actors are moving into real assets while the public remains crowded in stocks.
Preview:Michael Pento argues the US is now a full-blown "banana republic" — bankrupt, with untrustworthy data, mounting inflation, and a Fed trapped between a bond market that will spike long rates if it cuts and a weakening economy that needs cuts. He is still net long equities but warns the bubble in the top 10 S&P 500 stocks is about to crack. Two paths: a deflationary bust (Japan 1989) or an inflationary collapse (Weimar/Zimbabwe). He holds gold and platinum (~9% combined) and expects to increase precious metals exposure dramatically next year. The exit door will be narrow when the plug is pulled.
Preview:Joaquín Marias, CEO of Argenta Silver, announces a $17.5M CAD financing and record drill results from the Elqar project in Salta, Argentina — including 40m at 1,026 g/t silver with a 1.05m sub-interval at 18,467 g/t Ag. The funds support 10,000–15,000m of drilling during the Argentine summer (October–April). Marias outlines a dual strategy of resource expansion and greenfield exploration across 97% unexplored ground, emphasizing pre-existing infrastructure as a major cost advantage. The company has delivered over 300% share price appreciation since its October 2024 inception.
Preview:Rick Rule argues that precious metals remain under-owned and that silver could see major volatility if futures-market cracks emerge, but a true exchange-busting short squeeze would likely be halted and cash-settled. He is bullish on gold as purchasing-power insurance, skeptical that governments will willingly back a currency with gold or silver, and sees creeping policy theft via inflation, taxation, and royalty changes as the more realistic risk than overt confiscation.
Preview:Alex Newman delivers a polemic against the Federal Reserve, arguing it is an unconstitutional, privately-owned banking cartel with globalist roots that systematically loots the middle class through fiat currency debasement. He contends the US is approaching a monetary system crossroads — torn between a Trump-aligned push toward sound money (gold backing) and a powerful faction steering toward a global CBDC surveillance regime. Newman cites $150 trillion in unfunded liabilities, the end of the petrodollar, and BIS blockchain architecture as evidence of impending crisis, while pointing to grassroots gold/silver legal-tender movements and Senate pushback on AI regulation as hopeful counter-signals.
Preview:Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, argues that a US gold revaluation is increasingly inevitable as the only politically viable way to soft-default on the national debt. He points to accelerating physical gold/silver deliveries and withdrawals from COMEX as evidence that sophisticated players are accumulating real metal while the retail public piles into overvalued equities on margin. He also warns about predatory precious metals dealers fleecing elderly customers with overpriced "special" coins, and highlights 10% tariffs on all imported gold bars as a new price distortion factor.
Preview:Jeff Clark argues the gold bull market is already confirmed and still early, with miners and juniors beginning to participate. His core message is to own gold now, focus on strong teams, good jurisdictions, and sizable projects, and expect the big gains to come later in the cycle rather than from chasing after a mania has fully formed.
Preview:John Rubino discusses two main themes: (1) the royalty/streaming mining sector is entering an M&A boom due to surging gold prices, with record cash flows prompting big deals and making junior takeover targets attractive; (2) government price controls are a form of "shrinkflation on steroids" — they degrade product quality across the economy, fuel mistrust in institutions, and push people toward real assets like gold, silver, farmland, and commodities. He frames this as part of the late-stage fiat currency cycle heading toward a monetary reset.
Preview:Interview with John Miniotis, CEO of AbraSilver (ABRA.v), discussing the company's updated Diablillos project mineral resource estimate — now 350 Moz AgEq (200 Moz silver + 1.7 Moz gold in M&I), up from ~250 Moz. Miniotis highlights Argentina's pro-mining RIGI incentive regime under President Milei, the project's exceptional oxide grades (~140 g/t AgEq vs 39 g/t cutoff), low discovery costs (~$0.12/oz Ag), and the path to a construction decision by end-2026. Key value drivers: front-loaded high-grade expansion at the JAC deposit (tonnage +150%), upcoming feasibility study (Q1 2026), and potential NAV multiple re-rating from ~0.7x toward 1.5-2x as the company transitions from explorer to developer.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues markets are flashing a late-cycle warning: record margin debt, heavy insider selling, and rising physical metal delivery demand together suggest investors are crowded in stocks while institutions and sovereign buyers are moving into gold, silver, and platinum. He also frames stablecoins as a synthetic Treasury-demand machine that could shift power from the Fed toward the Treasury, while warning that the monetary system and market structure are becoming more leveraged and less transparent.
Preview:Joel Skousen argues that the current US-Russia nuclear posturing is routine saber-rattling, not a genuine escalation toward war. He explains that Russia cannot use nuclear weapons because its conventional army is too weak to occupy the West afterward — a core requirement of nuclear doctrine. The real trigger for World War III, he contends, will be a Chinese invasion of Taiwan (possibly by 2027), which would bring both China and Russia into a coordinated nuclear first strike against US/NATO military targets. The interview also covers practical preparedness: safe rooms, avoiding nuclear target zones, and relocating away from high-density population centers to survive the social unrest following a grid-down EMP scenario.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino joins Liberty and Finance to argue the US is in the terminal stage of a debt collapse: the Treasury is now using Fed funding to buy back its own debt because there are no real buyers. He warns a privatized stablecoin/tokenized monetary system was recently signed into law by Trump — a "bait and switch" he considers worse than a CBDC — and that it will tokenize people themselves as tradable assets. He advises community-building, local shopping, hard assets (gold/silver), and speaking out.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draft, explains the ~$1 quadrillion OTC derivatives market as a system of degenerate side bets between banks that exists purely to generate debt assets, arguing it's unlikely to be the catalyst for financial collapse — that will come from below (Treasury debt, M2, money supply). He then presents an optimistic post-endgame case: credit chains will collapse, giant firms (Walmart, Monsanto, BlackRock) will vanish, and a decentralized gold/silver-based economy with smaller firms, local production, and 99% government reduction will emerge, comparable to 1890s America.
Preview:Andy Schectman (CEO of Miles Franklin) delivers his thesis that the US will intentionally destroy the dollar to manage unserviceable debt. He outlines a multi-part mechanism: stablecoin legislation creates synthetic demand for short-end Treasuries, while gold is allowed to run to extreme levels and then pegged to long-end bonds for near-zero borrowing costs. He covers the operational Shanghai Gold Exchange linkage with Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, BRICS Pay/BRICS Bridge expansion, extreme stress in London platinum and silver markets, and argues that saving in dollars is "the dumbest thing you can possibly do." Precious metals — gold, silver, platinum — are the recommended alternative.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues the metal complex is severely underpriced versus gold and that the real story is dollar debasement, not rising prices. He expects silver and the broader metals basket to keep outperforming, with only a minor near-term pause around gold option expiry, while warning that most people will realize the currency problem too late.
Preview:Oliver Friesen, CEO of Guardian Metal Resources (OTCQX: GMTF), discusses the company's receipt of a $6.2M Department of Defense award — the first-ever DoD funding for domestic tungsten production. The US has zero active tungsten mines and China controls 80%+ of global supply, recently imposing a full export ban. Guardian owns the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit in the US and a former producing mine, with existing processing capacity available through Global Tungsten and Powders in Pennsylvania. The company raised an additional $21M concurrently, giving it ~$30M to advance toward commercial production. Friesen frames tungsten as following the antimony price pattern: antimony rose 5-6x after China's export ban; tungsten is up ~50% so far and he sees it as "early innings."
Preview:Tim Laneyrie, CEO of Andy and Silver, argues the physical silver market faces a structural supply deficit masked by roughly 7 years of remaining above-ground vault stocks. He presents his company's Chilean silver project — a brownfield site with existing infrastructure, dormant since 2022 — as a well-positioned restart opportunity timed to a rising silver price environment driven by solar, EV, and electrification demand.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues silver is in an extraordinary squeeze: LBMA free float is at a record low, lease rates and EFPs are spiking, and the banks’ record short is getting stressed. He extends that into a broader thesis that big money is quietly moving into physical metals, the dollar is weakening, BRICS and gold revaluation are part of a coming monetary reset, and the U.S. may be trying to manage its debt burden by inflating away the dollar and re-anchoring Treasuries to gold.
Preview:John Florek, CEO of Emperor Metals, says the company just doubled its maiden resource at Duquesne West to 1.46 million ounces of gold and believes there is still significant upside from infill drilling and open-pit expansion. He also highlights Lac Pelletier as a near-cash-flow brownfield asset with existing underground development, a 1,000 tpd permit, and potential to restart toward 40,000 ounces per year.
Preview:Shane Williams, CEO of West Red Lake Gold, discusses the company's transition from developer to producer at its Madsen mine in Ontario's Red Lake district. Since starting production in March 2025, they've ramped from 500 to ~2,500 oz/month, targeting 3,000-4,000 oz/month by year-end and a 60,000 oz/year run rate in 2026. The bulk sample confirmed the geological model; Williams says no major de-risking questions remain. He sees a favorable setup: gold at record highs, few junior producers, and money returning to the sector — but this time flowing only to companies with actual production and cash flow. He expects a re-rating from ~0.5x to ~1.0x P/NAV as commercial production is achieved.
Preview:Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining, announces breakthrough drill results from the Campo Morado mine: 18m of 5.5 g/t gold and 8% zinc from the Larraforma zone — roughly 3x the global ore body grade. He outlines a strategic refocus toward gold while maintaining base-metal operations, targeting a 4x gold revenue increase (from ~$25-30M to $100-120M by 2027) via doubling grades and doubling gold recoveries from 25-30% to 50-60%+. He also highlights balance-sheet improvement (cash up to ~$24-25M, debt down from $18.2M to under $8M) and a path to debt-free status by 2026. The interview was recorded live at the 2025 Rule Symposium.
Preview:Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic Silver, discusses the company's transformative acquisition of the Gatos Silver mine, surging production (from ~21M to ~31M silver-equivalent ounces), a strengthening balance sheet ($450M+ treasury), and his view that the mining sector is poised for a repeat of the 2000-2011 bull cycle. He also covers silver market opacity—concentrate flows disappearing into Asia, massive paper-to-physical leverage on COMEX—and his strategy to bypass the banking system via First Mint.
Preview:Bradley Langille, CEO of GoGold Resources, presents the case for his company as an undervalued silver producer with a clear growth trajectory from ~2M to ~15-17M silver-equivalent ounces annually, an all-in sustaining cost of ~$12/oz, and a net asset value he estimates at over $1B (US) — while the company trades at ~$600M US market cap (~0.45-0.5x NAV). He outlines two parallel value drivers: advancing Los Ricos South toward imminent construction (awaiting final permits, 24-month build) which should re-rate the NAV multiple toward 1x, and ongoing exploration drilling targeting a historically displaced orebody that could expand the resource base. The appearance is a promotional CEO interview hosted by Dunigan Kaiser, facilitated by Rick Rule's endorsement ahead of his upcoming symposium.
Preview:Interview with Joaquín Marias, CEO of Argenta Silver, a junior silver exploration company formed in October 2024 within the Fury Group (Frank Giustra). Marias details the acquisition of the El Var project in Argentina — a pure silver deposit with ~50M oz Ag (indicated + inferred), acquired for ~$3.5M (~$0.10/oz in ground) from a distressed seller. The project comes with extensive infrastructure (camp, roads, rail access), and only ~1% of the 57,000-hectare property has been thoroughly drilled. He discusses Argentina's improving jurisdiction under President Javier Milei, the gold-silver ratio thesis (currently ~90:1 vs. 500-year average of ~20:1), and a structural silver deficit of 150-200M oz/year.
Preview:Rick Rule argues the current precious-metals cycle could be exceptionally strong, with silver likely to see a record-setting blowoff top after gold leads and generalist investors crowd in. He favors owning gold as savings/insurance, silver as a higher-octane speculation, and emphasizes quality mining companies, liquidity, and discipline about selling when narratives become too popular.
Preview:Interview with Mani Alkhafaji, VP of Corporate Development & IR at First Majestic Silver. He lays out the structural silver deficit (fifth year, ~150M oz gap in 2025), the 92:1 gold-silver ratio vs 7:1 mining ratio as the case for triple-digit silver, the Gatos acquisition and new Santa Elena discoveries (Navidat, Santanino), and improving sentiment under Mexico's new Sheinbaum government. The tone is promotional but grounded in supply-side data, with the Rule Symposium as a framing event.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that the UK and US are both trapped in unsustainable debt, rising welfare expectations, and governments that increasingly rely on manipulation of statistics, taxes, and credit expansion to hide the strain. He sees the current tariff push, weakening dollar, and rising bond yields as signs of a broader credit-bubble unwind that could echo 1929-1932, while gold and silver remain relatively firm because there is little loose supply and fiat confidence is eroding.
Preview:Liberty and Finance hosted a live Q&A with Miles Franklin bullion dealers Dunigan Kaiser and Kaiser Johnson, centered on buying, selling, swapping, and storing precious metals. The conversation emphasized current anomalies in gold, silver, platinum, and numismatic premiums, plus practical issues like depository risk, privacy, and state sound-money laws.
Preview:Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining, presents the company's pivot toward gold exploration across its two operating mines in Mexico. The core thesis: historic zinc-focused mining at Campo Morado left high-grade gold zones untouched, and now with gold near $3,400/oz, the company is drilling those zones for the first time in over a decade. Barnholden outlines a goal to quadruple gold revenue within 18 months by doubling grade and doubling recoveries. The company has improved its balance sheet from near-zero cash to $25M and reduced debt from $18.2M to under $8M, using the swing to fund exploration. He emphasizes the company's "Mexican-first" operational model and alignment with shareholders, having personally invested nearly $2M.
Preview:Jeffrey Tucker discusses how the "expert class" and administrative state have abused science, empathy, and tolerance to impose authoritarian control — from COVID lockdowns to transgender medical interventions to open borders. He praises recent Supreme Court decisions (Title IX/transgender case, executive agency control ruling) as turning points. Tucker argues that democracies require meaningful citizenship, and warns that a well-funded "machine" spanning every industry is gearing up for the next crisis. He's not confident the system can be dismantled but says the fight is worth waging.
Preview:Alex Newman argues that globalist elites are orchestrating a deliberate "polycrisis" — cascading wars, economic collapses, pandemics, and AI-driven surveillance — to frighten populations into surrendering sovereignty and accepting a technocratic world order. He ties this to US foreign policy (funding both sides of wars), the unconstitutional AI preemption clause in the "big beautiful bill," the open border as a deliberate destabilization tactic, and the coming dollar crisis. His prescription: personal preparedness (physical, spiritual, financial), gold/silver as sound money, and moral courage to say "no" when crisis demands are made.
Preview:Rick Rule-referred guest Benoit La Salle, CEO of Aya Gold & Silver, presents the company's rapid ramp-up at the Zgounder silver mine in Morocco toward 8M oz/year, the giant Boumadine deposit (450M oz resource), a recent $144M financing that pointedly excluded shorts, and the thesis that Morocco is the world's best mining jurisdiction. He notes ~20M shares short against an 80M free float and expects a short-squeeze catalyst as news flow builds into the Q4 Boumadine PA.
Preview:Phil Low of The Bitter Draft explains why state-level gold/silver legal tender laws won't displace fiat currency — Gresham's Law ensures bad money drives out good. He then unpacks how property rights would re-establish after a systemic collapse, drawing on historical examples (USSR collapse, tribal governance, Coase theorem) and practical strategies for using precious metals to acquire real estate during a hyperinflationary reset. He emphasizes that the worse things get, the cheaper assets become in gold and silver terms.
Preview:Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms discusses his recent conversation with Cali Means (RFK Jr.'s right-hand man at HHS) about the political difficulty of reforming the US food system. The core insight: the entrenched food-industrial complex represents ~30 million jobs, making every proposed change trigger fierce pushback framed as job protection. Salatin's main pitch is a "Food Emancipation Proclamation" — legalizing direct neighbor-to-neighbor food sales without federal inspection requirements. He argues this would liberate hundreds of thousands of small farmers and food entrepreneurs currently paralyzed by regulations, and frames it as a market-based alternative to both the status quo and the progressive call for bigger government to fight oligarchy.
Preview:Bill Holter argues the monetary system is fragile because it rests on U.S. Treasuries and confidence in U.S. gold holdings, while state-level legal tender laws and BRICS-plus de-dollarization are accelerating a move toward gold and silver. He recommends holding physical metal, especially U.S. mint lineage coins and junk silver for practical trade utility, and warns that paper claims, leveraged financial assets, and even real estate ownership can be vulnerable in a crisis.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues the recent pullback in gold, silver, and platinum is not a natural correction but a managed effort by banks using record short positioning, while physical demand and delivery requests keep tightening the system. He sees Basel 3, BRICS payment-system expansion, de-dollarization, and rising repatriation of gold as signs that the Western paper-metal regime is under growing strain.
Preview:Tim Coughlin, CEO of Royal Road Minerals, explains why his company is exploring for gold and copper in Saudi Arabia — a jurisdiction that has opened its doors to mining investment under Vision 2030 with generous incentives including reimbursed exploration costs, subsidized capex, and a transparent geological database. He argues the industry faces a critical discovery deficit driven by misallocation of capital into deep, long-dated porphyry projects rather than near-surface, mineable deposits. Drill results from Saudi Arabia and Morocco are expected around early July 2025, with additional license tender rounds coming in August.
Preview:Dolly Varden Silver CEO Shawn Khunkhun argues that precious metals have entered a new secular bull market and that silver equities — particularly high-grade, safe-jurisdiction juniors — are in the early innings. He walks through Dolly Varden's recent NYSE American listing, a 6-12x land expansion acquiring three past-producing mines for only 2% dilution, a $55M treasury post-financing, and a 35,000m drill program aimed at derisking and growing their ~150M oz AgEq resource. Khunkhun highlights the 90:1 silver-to-gold ratio as deeply out of line with the 28:1 level reached in 2011, suggesting silver could triple without gold moving. The bull-market playbook, he says, favors high-cost/low-grade producers in late stages, but his conservative approach targets a high-grade, tier-one jurisdiction deposit resilient across price environments.
Preview:A Liberty and Finance panel argues that sound money laws, physical gold/silver, and state-level legal tender reforms are ways to preserve liberty and protect purchasing power against fiat debasement. The discussion expands into the coming stablecoin regime, with the guests saying the proposed Genius Act would channel more demand into Treasuries and likely accelerate inflation and gold demand rather than solve the dollar’s structural problems.
Preview:Ian Harris, CEO of Copper Giant, presents his copper exploration company and its Makoa project in Colombia. He argues the world faces a copper supply crisis driven by electrification, AI data centers, and developing-world demand, but there is a severe shortage of large-scale deposits (a "deposit problem"). Makoa already has a 600M-ton resource open in all directions, and new drilling (MD47, MD48) aims to demonstrate a pathway to "project of merit" scale (2B tons at 0.5% CuEq). Harris emphasizes scale, grade, and near-surface mineralization as key advantages, and sees the company positioned for a valuation re-rating as it moves from a non-moving-forward to a moving-forward project — potentially a 5x multiple expansion. The interview is promotional in structure, tied to the upcoming Rule Symposium.
Preview:Michael Pento argues the U.S. economy is weakening beneath superficially better headline data, with labor market cracks, shrinking labor force growth, sticky inflation, and rising oil/tariff pressures making the Fed reluctant to cut. He sees that backdrop as bullish for hard assets—especially gold, with platinum as a catch-up candidate and silver as a smaller secondary play—while warning that long-duration Treasuries are no longer a safe ballast.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that silver, gold, and platinum are being re-priced amid mounting stress in the monetary system. He frames the current move as less a normal bull market than a sign of physical tightness, exchange delivery stress, and broader loss of trust in fiat and institutions, while also warning that geopolitical tensions and domestic disorder add to the case for holding physical metal.
Preview:Kerry Lutz argues that the current monetary system is in a long, slow collapse and that the Japanese yen’s break could be the trigger for a broader global fiat breakdown. He is constructive on gold, silver, and especially Bitcoin as surviving stores of value, while warning that AI is rapidly reshaping media, politics, and daily life in ways that can both empower and disempower people.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that China is steadily building the infrastructure for a yuan-centered trade system that will ultimately be gold-backed, while the U.S. dollar is weakening under debt, tariffs, and rising credit risk. He says the shift is already visible in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and broader Asian coordination, and he frames gold not as a speculative asset but as a hedge against fiat-currency collapse and capital control.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues silver is finally breaking from a long suppression phase and is setting up to outperform gold, driven by unusually heavy deliveries, strong physical demand in China and on exchanges, and a technical base that could carry it above $35 toward the $40s and beyond. He also says the broader setup is increasingly bullish for gold, platinum, and other commodities because sovereign debt stress, falling dollar confidence, and rising geopolitical frictions are pushing big money and central banks toward hard assets.
Preview:Andy Schectman and guest Daniel Diaz discuss Florida's newly signed sound-money bill making gold and silver legal tender for electronic and physical transactions — the most comprehensive such legislation in the US. Diaz details the bill's strengths (electronic transfer framework, sales-tax repeal, consumer protections) and a critical flaw: physical bullion legal tender is restricted to bars with only mintmark/weight/purity, plus US-minted coins, excluding ~95% of bullion products. Texas is about to copy this flawed provision. Schectman then covers record-breaking COMEX gold and silver deliveries, with May seeing ~$8.3 billion in gold delivered — the largest non-active delivery month ever — signaling major entities are accumulating physical metal.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draft, discusses three core topics: why credit unions offer no real protection in a banking collapse (they're still fractional-reserve), why numismatic coins are dangerous for stackers (premiums are speculative and evaporate in a panic), and how much silver a family needs for the financial endgame (25-50 oz/person conservatively). The conversation is grounded in historical analogies, especially It's a Wonderful Life, to argue that any pooled/fractional-reserve system is inherently fragile.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino warns of an imminent global debt market implosion that will seize credit markets overnight, making 2008 look like a rehearsal. He argues the US debt downgrade is symbolic confirmation of an irreversible downward spiral, that central banks protect banks by destroying currency purchasing power, and that the only financial defense is owning real assets — especially silver and gold. The conversation dwells heavily on systemic corruption, learned helplessness, and spiritual realignment.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod joins Liberty and Finance to argue that Keynesian economics is built on a deliberate misrepresentation of Say's Law, enabling the largest credit bubble in history. He contends London gold liquidity is far tighter than vault reports suggest (hundreds not thousands of tons), the COMEX arbitrage flow has stopped, and swaps are now being squeezed. On geopolitics, he sees China as having outmaneuvered the US on tariffs and consolidated a new Asian trade bloc. The endgame is a US debt trap where bond yields could spike toward 15%, and gold's role is to preserve purchasing power as credit deteriorates.
Preview:Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, argues that record physical delivery of gold and silver on the COMEX signals a stealth run on metal by the biggest players — a loss of faith in paper systems. He ties this to waning foreign appetite for US Treasuries, BRICS-led de-dollarization via gold settlement infrastructure, and the Federal Reserve's covert quantitative easing. He strongly advocates physical ownership over ETFs like GLD and SLV, citing prospectus loopholes. The show features sponsor product listings for gold and silver coins interleaved with the interview.
Preview:Gwen Preston, VP of Communications at West Red Lake Gold, reports that the company's bulk sample at the Madsen mine reconciled almost exactly with predicted grades and tonnage — gold grade within 0.7%, tons within ~4%, and 95% mill recovery producing ~2,500 oz sold at an average ~$3,300/oz. She frames this as validation of their technical approach and the final de-risking step before the board approves regular commercial production, expected within weeks. The conversation emphasizes the speed of the 2-year purchase-to-production timeline and positions WRLG as a rare emerging producer offering leveraged gold exposure at a time when gold prices are surging.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draft, lays out what healthy banking looks like post-financial-crash, arguing the current fractional-reserve fiat system will inevitably collapse and be replaced by honest gold/silver-based banking. He explains silver's unique role as the "people's money" and the backstop against distrusted gold credit, and walks through a scenario where silver could dramatically outperform — potentially reaching a temporary 15:1 gold-silver ratio, and in an extreme case, seeing purchasing power far beyond historical levels due to depleted above-ground supply and a much larger global population. The host (Kaiser Johnson/Dunigan) pushes back on whether the system will really return to honest money rather than double down into CBDCs and techno-dystopia.
Preview:David Morgan ("The Silver Guru") argues the banking system is under a planned, controlled demolition — not failure — to consolidate power into fewer banks and ultimately a global digital currency clearing through the BIS. He frames the hierarchy as: people → government → corporations → commercial banks → central banks → BIS. Silver is profoundly undervalued; he computes a fair-value price near $200/oz based on historical day-wage parity. Morgan also warns AI will be woven into this monetary control grid, removing human discretion. The interview covers constitutional sound money, why gold has been systematically excluded from professional portfolios, and tactical ways to push back — like using cash and asking pointed questions when it's refused.
Preview:Rafi Farber analyzes COMEX gold open interest, arguing it's near multi-year lows while price rallies — a signal that short-covering via physical delivery, not speculative frenzy, is driving the move, leaving plenty of room for the rally to run. He then walks through central bank gold buying data (Poland and India lead; China and Russia have been quiet through Q4 2024), downplaying CB buying's long-term significance. The conversation pivots to a broader thesis: fiat currency debasement causes societal/family breakdown, and a return to sound money — even through crisis — offers a path to renewal. Farber frames the coming crack-up boom as destructive but ultimately redemptive for those who prepared.
Preview:Michael Pento delivers a deeply bearish macro thesis: the US is entering a tariff-induced recession that the Fed cannot rescue because inflation is too high and the government is insolvent. He argues the S&P 500 at 5,500+ is pricing fantasy earnings growth of 9% while GDP is contracting, supply chains are seizing, and layoffs are spreading. Real estate inventory is spiking 30% nationally with record price cuts as the COVID migration wave unwinds against 7% mortgage rates. His most structural claim: gold is supplanting the dollar as the world's reserve currency because foreign holders (China, Japan) are fleeing Treasuries amid trade-war disruption and sanctions risk, and the Fed is boxed in — it cannot QE without causing intractable inflation and spiking long-term yields.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino argues the recent tariff/Fed whipsaw is deliberate chaos used to prop up a failing system, squeeze the middle class, and push the dollar and debt markets toward a larger breakdown. He says gold and silver are long-term protection against that system, expects the next major phase to include a broader liquidity crisis, higher bond yields, and eventually a move into commodities after an initial across-the-board selloff.
Preview:Jeffrey Tucker argues the post-COVID backlash, especially against lockdowns and top-down public health control, is rooted in a broader failure of compulsory globalism. He says the Trump administration’s tariff push is now likely to make the next four years rough and to leave Trump carrying the blame, even though he also credits Trump with rolling back DEI, censorship, and other regulations.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that gold's record highs are really about the dollar's record lows, driven by a structural foreign exodus from USD assets. He contends Trump's tariff tantrum has destroyed US credibility, that the administration has lost control (with the "deep state" reasserting itself via Bessant), and that the US is entering a debt-trap recession with rising bond yields — a lethal combination that will pop history's largest credit bubble. He sees gold dips being bought aggressively by central banks and sovereign wealth funds, and warns bond yields could rise above 10%.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that BRICS-aligned payment rails, gold settlement, and rising non-dollar trade are steadily weakening the dollar-centric system. He pairs that with a strongly bullish view on gold, silver, and selected mining shares, saying the current volatility is mostly a tactic that masks a larger monetary reset and accumulation by central banks and sophisticated buyers.
Preview:Rick Rule argues that a precious-metals bull market is already underway, with gold leading first and silver likely to take leadership next. He remains constructive on gold as a store of purchasing power, prefers physical metals over fiat savings, likes platinum as a speculative supply/demand trade, and sees uranium as interesting but probably later than gold/silver miners.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that gold’s move above $3,300 reflects a deeper monetary reset already underway: central banks are buying and repatriating gold, delivery stress is showing up in bullion markets, and the dollar/treasury system is being pushed toward strain. He is especially bullish on silver, saying the gold/silver ratio remains extreme and offers one of the best asymmetric trades he has seen, while the recent bond-market volatility shows how fragile the leveraged Treasury system has become.
Preview:Phil Low argues that US tariffs are paradoxically beneficial because they slow the dollar-based credit Ponzi scheme, triggering a deflationary panic that will ultimately destroy the fiat system. He contends the real problem is fake money since 1913, not trade policy. Tariffs disrupt the mechanism by which the US exports inflation: dollars sent abroad that never return. Low predicts the dollar's collapse will force a return to gold/silver and honest money, restoring organic economic life. He advises stacking plain bullion over collectible coins and expects painful but ultimately positive cultural restoration.
Preview:Bill Holter argues that rising volatility is not just a trading problem but a systemic risk because it can trigger margin calls, derivative failures, and ultimately a broader financial collapse. He pairs that macro warning with a strong physical-metal thesis: gold and silver are, in his view, the only assets that cannot be bankrupted, and he urges especially small-denomination, U.S.-mint-lineage silver and gold as protection against confiscation, rehypothecation, and legal claims on brokerage assets.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that the recent stock-market selloff is the result of the largest credit bubble in history meeting tariff shock, and he thinks the Fed cannot manage its way out. He says the damage will spread from equities into banks, the dollar, and then into a broader breakdown of fiat-currency confidence, while gold’s role strengthens as leasing dries up and physical supply tightens.
Preview:Andy Schectman (CEO of Miles Franklin) joins Kaiser Johnson from Prague to discuss accelerating de-dollarization, the massive physical gold/silver drain from London to New York, and gold's stealth rally hitting all-time highs without retail euphoria. He argues trust in US financial custodianship is collapsing, pointing to Germany's gold repatriation issues, China/Japan/South Korea's joint tariff response, and the broader flight from paper promises into tangible assets. The conversation centers on gold as multi-millennia wealth preservation amid a fiat system showing cracks.
Preview:Keith Weiner argues gold is in a bull market because fiat currencies — especially the dollar — are losing value, not because gold is simply ‘going up.’ He says the current setup is supported by foreign and institutional demand, banking/capital-control fears, and a broad loss of confidence in dollar-based credit, while still warning that a near-term correction is possible.
Preview:John Rubino argues that gold’s decisive break above $3,000—and now above $3,100—suggests central-bank demand is still strong and may be tied to an approaching monetary reset. He is bullish on gold’s long-term role but cautious that the move is extended and seasonality could create a pullback. He is also constructive on silver as a heavily manipulated market that could eventually face a squeeze and a physical shortage, though he notes the current “Silver Squeeze 2.0” day has not yet produced the expected price reaction.
Preview:Matthew Piepenburg (Von Greyerz) argues that the COMEX is running out of physical gold and silver because counterparties are increasingly demanding delivery — ending decades of "extend and pretend" paper leverage. He frames this as a symptom of a deeper systemic shift: the East has been quietly accumulating physical gold as the West debases its currency through debt. The dollar's weaponization post-2022 accelerated de-dollarization. Piepenburg's core message: own physical gold and silver not to get rich, but to avoid getting poorer, because governments and central banks cannot be trusted to preserve purchasing power.
Preview:Andy Schectman (CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals) discusses predatory dealer practices targeting retirees, storage/jurisdictional risks, and a detailed thesis on massive shorting of PSLV as a tool to suppress silver prices. He notes record gold inflows to COMEX, Chinese insurers joining the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and accelerating institutional gold accumulation. He offers specific bullion products as "vanilla" options and warns against exotic coins sold at extreme premiums. The conversation is interview-format with host Dunigan (Liberty and Finance) and co-host Kaiser Johnson.
Preview:Alex Newman argues that the U.S. is approaching a broad legitimacy and regime crisis: disputed Biden pardons, government abuse, education centralization, climate governance, and monetary fragility all point to a coming fork between decentralized constitutional order and more centralized control. The interview frames Trump as a possible corrective force, but Newman repeatedly warns that bureaucracies, courts, and global institutions could dilute or block real reform.
Preview:Jeffrey Tucker argues that persistent US trade deficits are a symptom of a broken international monetary system. Since the end of the gold standard, the dollar has been overvalued and settlements never clear, creating a structural disadvantage that has hollowed out US manufacturing — from watches and pianos to cars and electronics. The dollar's reserve-currency status creates infinite foreign demand for US debt, which foreign central banks then use as collateral to build their own manufacturing at America's expense. Tucker rejects tariffs as the solution (they tax Americans, not foreigners) and instead advocates stopping debt creation and deregulating/tax-cutting to lower domestic production costs. He sees a return to a gold-based clearing system as the long-run fix but admits he doesn't know how to get there.
Preview:Dr. Judy Shelton discusses confidence in the US dollar and banking system, the need for a proper audit of US gold reserves, the psychology of bank runs, the moral hazard of deposit insurance, and the implications of the Dodd-Frank Act's bail-in provisions. She argues that most depositors don't fully understand their funds are unsecured loans to banks at risk, not vaulted cash, and that the 2023 regional bank bailouts set a dangerous precedent by exceeding statutory limits.
Preview:Michael Pento argues that the apparent policy reprieve is temporary and that the bigger setup is still inflationary debt monetization, weakening growth, and eventual recession risk. He says the Fed is protecting asset prices and bank balance sheets rather than purchasing power, and he expects weak real GDP, declining home prices, and eventually another round of Fed easing/QE after markets fall.
Preview:Rick Rule argues that gold is being supported mainly by central-bank buying and that Basel III matters more indirectly going forward than it did in the past, while silver is still the more speculative, later-cycle metal that can outperform dramatically once momentum arrives. He also views PSLV short interest as a potential squeeze setup, is bullish on physical metals as purchasing-power protection, and remains skeptical of gold-backed public currencies, Canadian monetary strength, and small high-grade mining stories relative to larger deposits. The second half of the video turns into a long pitch for his gold boot camps and the Rule Symposium, with heavy emphasis on educational value, vetted speakers, and a money-back guarantee.
Preview:Ed Steer argues that the recent surge in gold and silver deliveries into COMEX and from London to New York is highly unusual and likely signals stress in the physical metals system. He says the paper pricing system on COMEX/LBMA is increasingly vulnerable because of large concentrated short positions, especially in silver, and he thinks a sharp short-covering move could eventually produce much higher prices. He also says ordinary investors should consider holding physical gold and silver as protection against a broader financial reset.
Preview:Andy Schectman (CEO, Miles Franklin) discusses gold's breach of $3,000/oz with virtually no mainstream attention. He reports that COMEX has suspended LBMA futures contracts — a potential vote of no confidence in London's ability to deliver. He details the massive paper-to-physical ratios (11:1 in gold, 10:1 in silver) on the LBMA, the 8-week delivery delays now being quoted, and the draining of physical metal. He speculates about a possible US-led revaluation of gold (citing a $12,200+/oz revaluation math at 40% money supply backing) and explores the implications for ETFs like GLD vs. physical ownership. Silver premiums on junk silver are at multi-year lows, and he recommends that swap trade.
Preview:Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver, makes the case that the company's Golden Triangle project in BC, Canada is uniquely positioned among the world's few pure silver developers. He argues location stability (Nisga'a Nation partnership, existing infrastructure) and a geological thesis of merging mineralized systems create a compelling setup just as small-cap miners begin to catch investor interest. He also offers macro views: tariffs won't solve US debt problems, but gold and silver revaluation could.
Preview:Jordan Roy-Byrne presents a technical analysis case that gold and silver have entered a once-in-a-lifetime secular bull market. He highlights gold's confirmed breakout against the S&P 500 and a 60/40 portfolio indicator as evidence that capital is rotating from conventional assets into precious metals. He argues silver's 45-year base breakout above $50 would be "the biggest breakout of all time," with targets of $100+ silver and $7,000-$8,000+ gold in the current cyclical bull. He draws historical parallels to the 1960s-70s, when both stocks and bonds were in secular bears, and frames the setup as capable of lasting toward 2040.
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues the global financial system is in the late stage of a historic credit bubble: private-sector “zombie debt,” rising government debt, and tariff shocks are making higher interest rates unavoidable and dangerous. He says central banks are effectively insolvent on a mark-to-market basis, but their real problem is not accounting optics — it is that they can still print money while the currency and bond system lose purchasing power and foreign holders move toward gold and away from dollars.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino, founder of traderschoice.net, argues the current stock market correction is NOT "the big one" — that will begin and end in the debt market, which hasn't melted down yet. He sees the falling dollar (DXY below 104) as a critical danger signal, warns the Mar-a-Lago Accord is a debt-restructuring admission of insolvency, and predicts the Fed will emerge stronger, not weaker. His core advice: own physical gold and silver, bet against the debt, and prepare for worst-case outcomes.
Preview:Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draft, explains why marking gold to market or a partial revaluation would fail and argues only a full gold revaluation ($60K-$80K/oz) can resolve the monetary crisis — but it won't happen until hyperinflation is already underway. He describes the clear signs of a crackup boom, why inflation drives societal degradation, and what the endgame looks like as the LBMA/COMEX are drained of physical metal.
Preview:Andy Schectman says the silver market is under severe physical strain, with large amounts of silver leaving the LBMA and tighter delivery conditions showing up first in wholesale bars before filtering down to retail. He also warns that predatory precious-metals dealers are selling overpriced numismatic and odd-lot products to vulnerable customers, while urging viewers to favor liquid bullion and track LBMA data directly.
Preview:Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin argues that something unprecedented is happening in precious metals markets: COMEX deliveries are at historic highs, London shows signs of strain with 8-week delivery delays, and massive amounts of gold/silver are flowing from bullion banks to unknown "non-bullion bank" entities (sovereign wealth funds, family offices). He sees hedge funds exiting Mag 7 stocks at 22-month lows, insiders selling 7-to-1, and the Atlanta Fed GDP nowcast plunging from +4% to -2.8% — all pointing to stagflation. His core thesis: the price suppression mechanism in gold and silver is failing, and a violent snap higher is coming. He is cautious on Bitcoin, calling the recent crypto reserve announcement a potential "retail trap."
Preview:Alasdair Macleod argues that China’s long-running suppression of the silver price is likely over, and that silver should now catch up if gold keeps rising and currencies keep weakening. He also says the U.S. credit bubble is the largest in history, equities and crypto are already flashing stress, and the next major phase could be a broader credit/bond/dollar dislocation that eventually lifts gold and strains ordinary savers.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the current gold/silver market is being distorted by extreme physical tightness, broken paper-physical pricing relationships, and broader sovereign debt stress. He frames the Miles Franklin swap special as a rare opportunity because semi-numismatic pre-1933 gold briefly priced at or below comparable bullion, which he views as an exceptional anomaly to exploit.
Preview:Phil Low explains the US dollar as a self-perpetuating Ponzi scheme through a spreadsheet walkthrough showing fractional-reserve banking, why the system mathematically cannot be repaid, and how the Fed can only delay collapse via rate cuts, helicopter money, or buying bad debt. He argues no active cabal is needed — the scheme runs itself. He then contrasts savings (deferred consumption) with investment (productive deployment), explains why a gold standard would restore thrift, and offers the practical endgame advice that gold/silver will become "unobtainium" while copper in any form may be the last accessible money during hyperinflation.
Preview:Dr. Judy Shelton argues that the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target is a deliberate policy of currency debasement that transfers wealth from wage-earners to asset-owners, widening inequality. She traces the origin of the 2% target to a 1996 FOMC discussion where Janet Yellen advocated for positive inflation to deceive workers via "money illusion." Shelton proposes a gold-backed Treasury bond as a barometer of dollar purchasing power and advocates auditing the Fed, particularly its interest-on-reserves program that has paid banks over half a trillion dollars since 2022 to park cash rather than lend. She frames honest money as both a constitutional requirement and a moral imperative.
Preview:John Rubino argues that while Trump's first month has been surprisingly effective at dismantling the DC "swamp" (via DOGE, spending cuts, and scaling back global military commitments), the US is still mathematically doomed to a currency crisis. The debt and interest dynamics are a "death spiral" — even heroic deficit reduction to $1 trillion/year wouldn't prevent an eventual monetary reset. His investment thesis: assume the currency is the victim and own things that go up when the dollar loses value — gold, silver, energy stocks, uranium, and hard assets. He's cautiously optimistic geopolitically but warns the Deep State will strike back.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the gold and silver markets are showing signs of acute physical stress, with London and New York prices diverging, lease rates spiking, and delivery demand exposing what he sees as an overextended paper system. He links this to U.S. fiscal fragility, the idea of revaluing gold to strengthen the Treasury, and a broader scramble by institutions and governments to secure physical metal.
Preview:Michael Pento argues that massive post-COVID liquidity still supports markets but extreme equity valuations and mounting fiscal risks make this one of the most dangerous times for passive investors. He sees two potential catalysts for the next crisis: reserves falling to levels that freeze money markets, or a spike in long-term Treasury yields driven by inflation and insolvency fears. His most provocative theory: gold's relentless rise despite headwinds may reflect the US government scrambling to replace gold it has hypothecated or never actually held. He advocates holding short-term T-bills and inflation hedges while waiting for his model to signal the next liquidity event.
Preview:Gregory Mannarino delivers an apocalyptic macro monologue. He argues the global financial system is in a debt-based "perpetual black hole," that Bank of America is being set up as the sacrificial Fall Guy for the coming crisis, and that government spending cuts are a shell game that won't reduce debt because GDP must be propped up. He sees tariffs, deregulation, and the Fed as mechanisms of wealth transfer to the 1%. The only survival strategies: gold, silver, small caps, bank stocks, and defense — though he personally stays out of equities entirely.
Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the recent gold and silver movement from London and COMEX into the U.S. is not just tariff noise, but a sign of a much larger monetary reset in motion. He links central-bank gold buying, potential gold revaluation, Treasury monetization, stablecoins, BRICS settlement changes, and a possible weakening of the dollar into one emerging framework.
Preview:Bill Holter argues that gold repatriation, rising COMEX/London metal flows, and Scott Bessent’s ‘monetize the asset side’ remark are all signs of a broad monetary reset already underway. He says the reset will likely revalue gold, expose strains in futures delivery, disrupt trade, and accelerate declines in real estate and other overleveraged assets.
