“If everyone on the Republican field were to consolidate behind a single player now, I think Trump would still win, even from prison,” says Peter Zeihan, geopolitical strategist. Peter deciphers the complexity of the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the repercussions of this conflict for the surrounding Middle East region. “When the Saudis had an issue with the Palestinians back in the '70s, they created what we now know today as OPEC,” he says. He remains skeptical about the degree to which the Saudi royal family is going to get involved in the matter because of a “generational split in Saudi Arabia” when it comes to its relationship with Palestine. “I would say that by the end of this calendar year, the Saudis will have, in essence, declared neutrality. And the talks between Jerusalem and Riyadh will pick up again,” he claims. He concludes by dismissing the possibility of a gold-backed BRICS currency because there is a lack of “constellation of economic forces that all of them subscribe to.” ➡️ Watch Here
“This is not a war of the type that any of us have experienced before, which is one of the reasons why investors are going to have to be so dexterous,” says Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. He explains that in the past 12 months, the U.S. has doubled the import of Uranium from Russia, and Russia recently transmitted hydrocarbons through Ukraine while paying a transit fee. Rick believes that is “a strange way to act in a war.” He continues that the dire warning from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon carries merits given what's happening in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world. He says, “The next 10 years [are] going to require a lot more dexterity than the last 40 have.” Additionally, he advises investors to own assets such as cash, gold, and uranium because the higher deposit rates, which "are going to be a big problem," are still below the real rate of inflation. ➡️ Watch Here
“I think that the 60% probability of one rate hike between now and January will probably get revised away, but it doesn't matter,” says Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and chief strategist for research and analytics firm QI Research. She emphasizes that Fed Chair Jerome Powell is looking for a reason to maintain higher interest rates so that he can eventually break the Fed put. Danielle says, “I am on board with his mission of breaking the Fed put... [but] don't actually think that that's going to happen.” She explains that even though JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned investors against today's economic instability, she doesn't believe it's “hyperbolic” given his vantage point. “He's seeing from the front lines, and he's seeing in his credit card data that the consumer's finally slowing down…he's really got a good view on the confluence of events,” Danielle concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
"I think we are at great danger... and you look at what's going on geopolitically… We could have a massive blowup,” says David Tice, senior advisor for the Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE). David contends that the instability in the economy combined with today's elevated geopolitical tensions could lead to a major conflict at some point down the road. He also believes that a recession is inevitable before year-end once the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes settles into the economy. David says, "I think the consensus has gotten a soft landing. I think that's ridiculous. What we're talking about is lag between tightening and an eventual recession. But a recession is coming.... And it's going to be here by the end of the year." ➡️ Watch Here
“We are entering a period when over the next six to nine months something could go wrong and historically, it's when the yield curve steepens,” says Alfonso Peccatiello, founder and CEO of The Macro Compass. He explains that if the steepening continues, it will cause serious damage to equity markets and the economy because "the inversion of the yield curve is a leading indicator of a recession.” He believes it's likely that the Federal Reserve is done raising interest rates, but it will keep the federal-funds rate above the level of inflation for 24 to 27 months. “That's what worries me... They are not talking about cutting rates even if inflation slows down," he says. And he stresses that the impact of the Fed's aggressive rate-hike policy hasn't settled into the economy. “We're entering the periods where the macro lags are more likely to kick in because the curve has been inverted already for 17 months and it's now steepening back,” he says. Finally, he advises investors to decrease exposure to equity markets and invest in treasuries. ➡️ Watch Here
“We think the Fed will actually have to step in, reverse course, and start QE all over again to be the buyers of these bonds,” says Rudi Fronk, chairman and CEO of Seabridge Gold. And he believes when that happens, gold will be bullish. He also predicts that there will be two more waves of inflation that will cause gold to have “its biggest moves on a historic base.” Rudi also explains why gold stocks are cheap despite the healthy environment gold miners are in. “I think a lot of it is self-inflicted,” he says. Plus, he stresses that the major global companies historically “have not been very good allocators of capital” and “tend to do their acquisitions at market tops… then sell projects at market bottoms.” “They continue to increase their share count without offsetting that dilution with either reserves or production or other measures that would lead to higher share prices,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
"The actual wonderful nature of crypto is destroyed because it's basically wrapped up in all these layers and layers,” says Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain. He claims that the future of cryptocurrencies is uncertain as the asset is caught in the crossfire of an SEC probation and stricter government regulations following the FTX collapse. “I don't think I know what's going to happen there…The halving should be very bullish. It's going to come in March. So I'm kind of really hanging out for that." He also talks about how central bank digital currencies won't be able to compete with cryptos because the government won't risk embracing decentralized features. Plus, he remains optimistic about the global economic outlook. “People confuse the bottom of where the momentum is down and now the momentum is up… I think that's very good for the next two or three years,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“If this polarization continues, we're heading towards a civil war,” warns David Woo, former IMF economist and Wall Street strategist. Woo – the creator of David Wu Unbound – explains that the current situation of the U.S. is worrisome given its diminishing influence abroad and political divisiveness at home. “The majority of Americans do distrust the system… There's no doubt that the country is so polarized that I'm afraid what would happen next year in this election. If anything happens to Trump, all hell is going to break loose,” he claims. David believes the strong performance of U.S. tech stocks has propped up the U.S. stock market for the past decade and is making the U.S. dollar strong. “The dollar is strong because Big Tech has become strategic for national security and has become basically existential for the Democratic Party. That is what the world is paying a huge tax on. And until somebody breaks that, the dollar's going to be strong,” he says. Given the growing influence of BRICS, he argues that the Biden Administration has made the U.S. appear weaker in front of Saudi Arabia. “I think what we need to realize is that the days that the president of the United States can pick up the phone and call up the King of Saudi Arabia and say, 'You know what, I'm calling, basically cut prices, increase production.' Those days are completely over,” he says. “I think America's greatest enemy is not China or Russia, it's itself,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“I think when rates are going to peak next quarter, and we got an election year next year and when rates start falling, gold will be $2,300,” says Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer for U.S. Global Investors. He acknowledges while gold provides a lot of value for investors during times of uncertainty, crypto sparks a “different enthusiasm” for folks to trade globally and digitally. “Kids have CPU chips. There were 30 million kids using their computers to do their homework, gaming, and when they go in bed, they were mining Ethereum,” he says. When it comes to the BRICS, Frank points out that he wouldn't worry too much about it gaining power because many BRICS nations have a “closed economy” unlike the U.S. “How many California wines can you find in Italy?” he asks, suggesting that BRICS countries have protectionism over products like wine the same way they do with money. “Look up, that's how high gold prices will rise when rates fall, and mathematically, rates are falling next year. Gold will get a reset button,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
"The U.S. dollar is supreme. It's the unit of currency that's used in trade... It's diminishing, but these things take a long time to change. There's no real substitute out there for it,” says John Doody, founder and editor of Gold Stock Analyst. He points out that the efforts from BRICS to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency with a new gold-backed currency are futile due to the rest of the world's reliance on the dollar for international trade. When it comes to inflation, he says “there's no way that Powell can do a Volcker and jack up rates to 20% to stop the inflation. The politicians won't take it anymore." The gold expert also shares an optimistic outlook about the precious metal, as Gold Stock Analyst celebrates its 30th year anniversary this year. "Gold has been the best-performing liquid asset I know of since 1971 when the price was set free. There's a 8% per year compounded growth rate. I don't know any liquid asset that's been that good,” says John. He also talks about a gold mining company that is a “multimillion ounce a year producer."

“OPEC+ expanding to the BRICS I think is a different discussion which I'd be more worried about than the BRICS creating a new currency that will replace the dollar,” claims president and CEO of Valens Research. He states that despite the energy dominance that BRICS pursues, it will not pose imminent threat to the U.S. dollar. "The idea that China and India will ever agree on giving up their own influence over their own currency is just ridiculous... They're in armed conflict right now!" says Joel. "I think they absolutely want [to take down the dollar], but what – they'll give up their own sovereign rights to each other?" Additionally, he shares his sentiment about the market, stating that he has never been “so bullish long-term and so bearish show-term.” "We are going to see earnings erode to such a degree... the market is really topped out, and we don't have much more to go,” he concludes.

“Banks are slowing. Some financial accident is going to happen, and it could end up being a spiral. I think the charade of pretending that they're going to beat inflation is a charade. They know they can't,” says Frank Giustra, billionaire philanthropist and CEO of the Fiore Group. He says the Fed knows that interest-rate hikes have a lag effect and the massive debt issue will “bankrupt America,” as shown by today's slowing economy. While mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde paints a negative picture for mining juniors, Frank disagrees and urges folks to avoid letting emotions guide their decisions no matter what happens in the market. “It's a matter of patience. Hang in there. You just have to know something there is good [coming].” Additionally, Frank points out that central banks around the world accumulating gold means "something is up.” “I don't think the West is listening. The gold enthusiasts are in the East. That's where we see all the physical gold is going," Frank concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“They really try to bring the economy to a halt to bring the inflation down, and then we'll get a next wave of inflation. I am afraid for that,” says Willem Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund and bestselling author of The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame. He predicts that the next wave of inflation will hit the U.S. in 2024 to 2025. Given the development that BRICS are pursuing global energy dominance, Willem argues that we're in a “financial World War III.” He also points out that Saudi Arabia has turned itself into an adversary with the U.S. after it started selling Treasuries en masse over the last few years. Willem concludes by warning that the BRICS are working on a “parallel trading system” that will exclude the U.S. from international trade. ➡️ Watch Here
In a panel discussion with executive co-chairman and founder of Ivanhoe Mines Robert Friedland, President and CEO of the Fiore Group Frank Giustra, and mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde, our Daniela Cambone discusses the significance of central banks accumulating gold, the imminent threat of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs"), the state of the mining industry, and inflation. Frank acknowledges that the global monetary system could be completely reshaped moving forward and that gold “will play a role.” Pierre echoes that sentiment, adding that, “We have a very high probability of an alternative currency to the dollar." Plus, Frank warns that the rollout of a universal CBDC means “a loss of freedom.” Finally, Robert predicts inflation to stay at 4% in the next five years and eventually go even higher as oil prices keep rising. “The Fed's in the box because if they keep raising interest rates, they're going to dive the economy … The real interest's gonna increase and this favors gold.” ➡️ Watch Here
“I think that Saudi Arabia continuing to lower production is really going to hurt Europe and the rest of the world, whereas [in the] U.S. we can continue to grow our own fossil fuels,” says Col. Jonathan Shaffer, director of business development for MBO Partners and former Pentagon strategist. He discusses many pressing international issues, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the expansion of BRICS, and China's growing influence. The 25-year Army veteran expresses concern about China's infiltration over American entities such as the academics and corporations. However, he sees a potential World War III as unlikely to happen. “I think we have enough controls over the big levers and buttons. This is on the military side as well as diplomatically that we can likely avert that kind of an irrational act,” he says. Col. Shaffner argues that the recent expansion of BRICS signals the organization's desire for “energy dominance.” “They're trying to expand out of just fuel commodities and move into the future value of commodities... which is going to give them power in the long run,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“You create this event where the dollar were not clinging to the privilege of the world reserve's currency,” says Andy Schectman, president and CEO of precious metals investment management company Miles Franklin. He claims that the U.S. government deliberately incentivizes de-dollarization to let the system collapse and reset in order to ease off the insurmountable debt issue. “We have $5 trillion in assets backing $155 trillion in debt... Forty percent of our assets are student debt,” he says. Additionally, he says the price of gold performs lower than it should because the Western system has suppressed the precious metal's price for a long time in order to support a bond market. “Gold is the antithesis of the Western system,” he argues. ➡️ Watch Here
We're back from our summer break! In today's interview with Todd "Bubba" Horwitz, he says the U.S. is facing the biggest shortage in oil supply since 1985. "What nobody understands about the oil market is that all gas has a federal tax assigned to it... The higher gas prices get, the more federal tax rates are paying,” he explains. He predicts the Federal Reserve will keep hiking interest rates and many small businesses will be destroyed because of this. “We know the true number is still closer to 15% to 20%. It is so ridiculous to even show a number of 3%,” he says. However, he still believes in the dominance and stability of the U.S. dollar in today's contentious global financial system. He argues the recent discussions among BRICS nations about building a gold-backed currency are “nonsense.” Watch the interview to find out why and more. ➡️ Watch Here
The stock market rallied to a 16% gain through the first six months of 2023, completing a strong first half despite fears of a recession looming over several important asset classes. But with uncertainty about today's rampant inflation and heightened geopolitical tensions clouding the market right now, many investors are unsure about what to do with their money throughout the rest of the year. Today's guest Carter Braxton Worth, founder and CEO of technical analysis company Worth Charting. Carter asserts that a massive wave of sell-offs is inevitable moving forward, creating the opportunity for huge gains in the long term once the downtrend reverses. He says, "We're due for some sort of sell-off or drawdown... It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. It corrects something that's incorrect. That's what sets you up ultimately to go higher." Carter highlights the precious metals sector as a viable space for investors to explore in order to secure a safe-haven asset throughout the upcoming drawdown. "There arecatch-up trades [available], things that have lagged but whose chart patterns are constructive and good... Gold has kept up with the S&P 500 on a one-year basis," he explains. He concludes by predicting a major uptrend in silver assets, encouraging investors to add the precious metal to their portfolios before the rally begins. Carter says, "I like how this sets up. One wants to have this very much as part of their mix in terms of risk assets. It's the most explosive and dynamic." ➡️ Watch Here
With the development of tools like ChatGPT quickly growing popular, many people are bullish around artificial intelligence ("AI") right now. That's why Tesla CEO Elon Musk launched AI company xAI last month in an effort to take advantage of this fast-moving trend. Today, Daniela chatted with Ran Neuner, co-founder and CEO of blockchain investment fund and advisory service Onchain Capital. Ran contends that Musk's recent launch of xAI serves as a ploy to rival OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in order to increase his foothold in the global economy. He says, "These are big people with big egos... We're seeing two influential billionaires use their own separate platforms to create a global financial institution that is going to capture a large share of global financial transactions." Ran also believes that AI technology will completely reshape verification methods for various industries due to digital identities becoming more prevalent. "We're moving into a new era in the world. In this new era, we're going to have a big need to prove we're human... I suspect that fingerprints may not be able to prove you're human,” he explains. He concludes by expressing optimism about the long-term impact of AI as we continue to discover new ways to use this fast-moving technology to our advantage. "We shouldn't resist going into the world of AI because I think that it's an amazing technology which will only help us, but like any revolution it's going to make us feel uncomfortable,” he tells Daniela. ➡️ Watch Here
The U.S. dollar's longstanding status as the world's reserve currency has been threatened this year as prominent countries around the world have avoided relying on the dollar for global trade. Today, Daniela interviewed Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, who asserts that the global de-dollarization trend signals that a return to a gold standard is inevitable as long as these foreign adversaries remain unified. He says, "When you talk about the BRICS, almost three-quarters of the population has signed on. It's not if, but when they switch to gold. That's what they're saying." Robert also believes that cryptocurrencies offer a viable store of value as investors search for a safe haven from this chaotic market. "I like bitcoin because we have an enemy in common called the federal government, the Treasury, the Fed, and Wall Street," he proclaims. He concludes by encouraging investors to explore the precious metals sector in an effort to protect their wealth as mountains of debt continue to weigh on the economy. "In two months alone, they've added $1.8 trillion in new debt; this is unsustainable. That's why I'm a big hard asset person. I don't buy much paper," he states. ➡️ Watch Here
Between out-of-control inflation, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the ongoing banking crisis, the market is filled with uncertainty right now. On today's show, Daniela's guest Peter Grandich asserts that the de-dollarization trend could reshape the global markets as BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – look to establish a new gold-backed international standard currency. Peter says, "The United States is either being eliminated or limited in exposure on trade after 100-plus years of being a leader on trade. I personally think when the BRICS stuff is all said and done over the next one to three years, it'll be the most important thing for world trade since the Industrial Revolution." He also believes that it's crucial for investors to prevent themselves from tuning out today's negativity in order to form a sound plan moving forward. “The only thing that's going to keep you sane is to deal in the world of reality... The reality is America is facing its worst ever social, political, or economic period,” he explains. Peter concludes by stressing that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to pivot from its aggressive inflation-fighting strategy, meaning this market turbulence we're experiencing today could drag on for much longer. “The easier way always for politicians is inflation versus deflation. Deflation is horrible. We saw that during the [Great] Depression. They will choose inflation over deflation, no matter what they may say at the moment,” he says. ➡️ Watch Here
The U.S. dollar has reigned king of global currencies for decades, but other countries have challenged the dollar's status this year in hopes of unseating it as the world's reserve currency. Today, Daniela sat down with Edward Dowd, founding partner of global macro alternative investing firm Phinance Technologies. Edward argues that foreign adversaries using the threat of a gold-backed currency as leverage to weaken the dollar are bluffing. He says, "The dollar system is so ingrained that money and debt are the same thing. All these countries have dollar-denominated debt... They're going to have to devalue their currencies if they go on a gold standard.” At the same time, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy recently unveiled a plan to back the dollar with hard currencies like gold, silver, or bitcoin (BTC). Edward, who serves as co-treasurer to RFK Jr.'s campaign, highlights this potential shift as a foundational element of a new financial system. "Robert's introducing the conversation into the electorate. The current monetary system, as it stands, is debt based. Might is created through debt. We've reached the endpoint so there has to be a new system," he explains. Edward also contends that the Federal Reserve is using the war on inflation as a guise to keep interest rates elevated and maintain control over the direction of the global economy. "The dollar unfortunately has become a weapon... It's going to continue to be strong as long as we keep interest rates high. We're choking off credit from the rest of the world,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman warned today that additional interest-rate hikes will likely be approved moving forward to temper inflation. But with inflation still nowhere near the central bank's 2% target rate, these rate hikes could continue throughout a significant portion of 2024. Today, Daniela sits down with best-selling author and world-renowned speculator Doug Casey, who argues that it's futile for market experts to attempt to predict the Fed's next move since the central bank's ability to manipulate interest rates allows it to control the direction of the economy. He says,"This is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The Fed shouldn't have any control over interest rates. The buying and selling of lending and borrowing of capital in the open market is what should control interest rates." Doug also believes that the Fed could use central bank digital currencies to boost its already immense control over everyday people. "For central banks to have digital currencies that people are going to use is a bad idea on steroids...this gives a huge amount of power to the state," he asserts. He concludes by highlighting the precious metals sector as a viable space to explore in order to provide extra protection for your portfolio throughout this uncertain market. "[Mining stocks] are the cheapest class of securities in the world. I think a pretty good case can be made that mining stocks, in the pretty near future, are going to explode upwards," he explains. ➡️ Watch Here
Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. credit rating from a stellar "AAA" to "AA+" earlier this week, citing "a steady deterioration in standards of governance" and overwhelming debt as motivating factors in its decision. Today, Daniela sat down with Steve Hanke, an applied economics professor at Johns Hopkins University. Steve argues the Fed's aggressive rate-hike policy has caused the burden of today's out-of-control debt to weigh heavily on everyday people. He says, "They're just running the numbers, and the numbers aren't sustainable. The burden of the debt is increasing tremendously.” Steve also contends that the Fed is using rate hikes as a guise to keep prices elevated for consumers. "Inflation is a hidden tax. No one votes on it. It's imposed in an undemocratic way. Inflation is a bad deal," explains Steve. He concludes by warning investors that the markets will remain volatile moving forward, highlighting the money supply as an indicator for an eventual turnaround. "We're sleepwalking into turbulence in the market. For some reason, people think this 'soft landing' thing is in the cards... I'm saying no,” he asserts. ➡️ Watch Here
With the development of tools like ChatGPT quickly growing popular, many people are bullish around artificial intelligence ("AI") right now. That's why OpenAI CEO Sam Altman launched Worldcoin last week to capitalize on this fast-moving trend. But today, Daniela's guest believes this ongoing shift toward going digital could have disastrous results as businesses and governments increase surveillance over everyday people. George Gammon, macroeconomics expert and host of the Rebel Capitalist Show asserts that folks must be wary of the long-term implications of sharing their data with programs like Worldcoin. He says, "What they tell you is that in the future...once they start to monetize, basically your biometric data, then they'll give you dividends in the form of more cryptocurrency." George also believes that the debt imbalance we're experiencing right now won't change unless the central bank reigns in its overspending habit. "The problem isn't the debt it. It's government spending. They spent the money to accrue the debt to begin with," he claims. He concludes by discussing the impact of the de-dollarization trend on the U.S. economy, encouraging investors to monitor this global shift away from the U.S. dollar in order to gain a clearer perspective on today's chaotic market. "It's not just a matter of what is happening with the domestic economy within the United States. There's a lot more to it at play. The global economy is about $110 trillion of gross domestic product, and 60% to 70% of those transactions settle in the U.S. dollar," he explains. ➡️ Watch Here
Since the start of 2023, the U.S. Dollar Index has declined nearly 2% as a result of foreign adversaries aiming to unseat the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Joining the Daniela Cambone show today, Marc Faber believes this de-dollarization trend could reshape the global economy as countries around the world embrace alternative currencies. "the system should not be a system where you have a global currency like the dollar was. As in, the basis [is] we have many different currencies and that people trade freely with each other." Marc also believes that the Federal Reserve is in no rush to bring inflation down to its 2% target rate. He says, "Their interest is to maintain the financial market at the highest level. They don't want deflation in financial assets and if they could, they would also prevent deflation in real assets like properties but this is difficult to control." He concludes by stressing that it's crucial for investors to recognize how the de-dollarization trend signals a massive shift in the global economy in order to understand how to navigate today's market uncertainty. ➡️ Watch Here
The global economy has faced heightened volatility this year as countries around the world continue shifting away from the U.S. dollar in an effort to unseat the dollar as king of global currencies. Today, Daniela Cambone sits down with precious metals expert David Morgan, who contends that the de-dollarization trend could result in a seismic market shift as countries around the world continue exploring ways to complete transactions. He says, "At the end of all great inflations, the free market comes to the fore and starts finding ways to mitigate the problem... There are countries that are banning together because they've had enough of the U.S dollar. So, it's all shaping up to the fact that we're near the endgame." David remains skeptical about how folks will respond to the Federal Reserve launching central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs") amid today's uncertain market. He encourages investors to explore safe-haven assets in order to protect their portfolios as the banking crisis drags on. "It's far from over. You might want to think about mitigating the issue by getting into an asset class or making some move that could protect you. If this thing falls rapidly, then it's very difficult to mitigate the problem," he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence ("AI") has tempted many investors to explore the technology sector in an effort to capitalize on the AI trend in its early stages. Today, Daniela interview famed short seller Marc Cohodes, who argues that it's crucial to prevent negative headlines from influencing your investment plan in order to uncover buying opportunities throughout this uncertain market. He says, "I'm not concerned about the backdrop one way or the other. I think it's a stock picker's market. There's things you can own and make a lot of money at, and I think there's some garbage out there that you should avoid." Marc also highlights the high upside potential of battery maker Enovix as AI technology rises to prominence. "If AI becomes a thing, battery becomes the gatekeeper for AI. AI is an energy hog. I look for things that can be very big and solve big problems, and I think this can be it," he claims. Marc concludes by encouraging investors to remain patient as the Fed gradually tempers inflation to its 2% target rate in order to avoid huge losses throughout this market chaos. "All this stuff always gets solved. The can always gets kicked down the road. It's important not to be too excited and not to be too negative because the middle of the road is usually where this all goes," he explains. ➡️ Watch Here
The potential of artificial intelligence ("AI") has been discussed for several years, and with the development of tools like ChatGPT quickly growing popular, many people are bullish about AI right now. On today's show, Daniela's guest E.B. Tucker believes this global race to develop AI technology could intensify geopolitical tensions, much like de-dollarization, as foreign adversaries embrace this fast-moving trend. He says, "The chip wars are real. They're almost as big as the currency wars. That's the new method of battling the world powers. Without the chips, you can't make any of this happen." E.B. also believes the Federal Reserve's willingness to use interest-rate hikes to manipulate the money supply will weigh heavily on consumers in the long term. "The Fed's going to go as high and as long as it can before it creates panic. The game plan right now is to suck as much money out of the system as it can without causing a big earthquake in the system," he explains. In conclusion, he implores Daniela's listeners to avoid letting fears of a recession guide their investment decisions due to the central bank's ability to interfere with the economy. "We used to have recessions 25 years ago. What we have is an ongoing boom and the occasional panic. Now, it's too difficult because there's so much intervention. They're trying to manage everything, so there won't be a recession," he claims. ➡️ Watch Here
The U.S. dollar has been under attack this year as foreign adversaries have shifted away from the currency in an effort to unseat the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. Today, Daniela sat down with Lynette Zang, chief market analyst for ITM Trading. Lynette argues that the U.S. dollar is on a path toward losing its status as the king of global currencies. She says, "There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that the U.S. dollar is losing its position as the world's reserve currency, but I don't really think that it will be a BRICS currency, any individual country, or a smaller group of countries that would take over that role.” Lynette also believes a recession is inevitable as the impact of the Fed's aggressive rate-hike policy gradually sets into the economy. "We are just now starting to experience the lag effects of those rapid rate rises that came in 2022 through Q1 2023. We haven't yet fully felt the impact,” she asserts. Lynette concludes by encouraging investors to explore the precious metals space in order to uncover safe-have assets. "There are opportunities, but you need to be in the right place at the right time holding the right asset so you can have that wealth transfer your way for a change,” she explains. ➡️ Watch Here
The Federal Reserve aims to launch its new FedNow instant-money platform later this month. On the first episode of her Summer Series, Daniela talks with Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. Rick contends that central bank digital currencies off the back of FedNow will lead to less privacy as the Fed manipulates the bank accounts of everyday people. He says, "The idea that governments would have a tool that would allow them to eliminate people's savings, people's medium of exchange, [and] people's wealth if those people didn't behave the way the big thinkers wanted is terrifying." Furthermore, Rick balks at the threat of the BRICS' proposed gold-backed digital currency supplanting the U.S. dollar. "I think it's important to clear up a misconception...they are describing a currency backed by gold, but they don't have enough gold to back the quantity of transactions that they expect to have transpire - good luck with that," he asserts. Rick concludes by highlighting the Fed's ongoing battle with rampant inflation as a critical issue to monitor in order to understand how to navigate the markets moving forward. "The Fed has done a pretty good job... I'm astonished by the relative strength of the U.S. economy. We have been able to fashion these interest-rate rises without bringing home construction or the bond market, as an example, to a screeching halt," he explains. ➡️ Watch Here
Inflation recently fell to its lowest annual rate in more than two years, but many investors remain wary about what to do with their money moving forward. On today's show, Daniela sits down with Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author. Nomi stresses investors must avoid letting fear guide their investment decisions in order to uncover buying opportunities as this rampant market uncertainty drags on. She says, "The best way to navigate [the noise] as an investor is to ignore what the Fed does if it raises rates by another two incremental rate hikes within the next several months. The reality is it's not going to impact the quality of investments, place in which we're investing, or how those investments perform." When it comes to the Fed's upcoming launch of its FedNow instant-money platform, Naomi believes it only serves as a ploy for the central bank to increase its foothold in the digital currency space. "Without the makings of a digital footprint, you don't have the makings of a digital coin," she asserts. Continuing with the theme of de-dollarization, Naomi warns that this trend could affect the long term outlook of the markets as foreign adversaries aim to chip away at the value of the U.S. dollar. "I don't actually think it's going to be replaced in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean there isn't a trading pattern here that's emerging," she concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
Headlines this week claimed that inflation rose only 0.2% in June, but 40-year professional trader, Todd "Bubba" Horwitz, begs to differ. "Look at what you're spending yourself, and then look at the BS numbers the government gives you and tell me if we've had a relief this month." With the recent rush back into equities, he asserts that this is the "greed phase of the market" and that "before this move is over, we will see 50 to 70% to the downside." Regardless of the BRICS' proposed adoption of a new gold-backed currency, Horwitz explains that he's a buyer of the precious metal "regardless of what's going on in the data...it's a buy at any time because you're playing long-term." When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Todd is adamant that the government's latest attempt to interfere with cryptos failed and that he's adding to his bitcoin (BTC) position because "people are finally waking up and realizing that they're tired of the central banking system around the globe stealing their money and misspending it." He concludes by echoing the current sentiment of the American people. "Between all the things that are going on with the education system, break down of the family unit and the political system - we have disaster brewing," he says. ➡️ Watch Here
“The reserve dominance the U.S. had is slowly slipping,” says David Daglio, CEO of asset-management firm BC-GUMPS, when discussing the de-dollarization trend. He also criticizes the Federal Reserve for not independently tackling today's out-of-control inflation and instead just casually monitoring it like a “weatherman.” He predicts that in six months, the Fed is going to be “cutting rates” to bring down inflation. “The bond market has already spoken. We are going to see the sharpest cut in rates of all time,” he adds. Daglio says that the biggest problem for banks throughout this banking crisis is the fractional reserve model, which is a “systematic problem” that results in banks lending out more than they actually have because not all people need their money at one time. He concludes by sharing his investment philosophy and how folks should navigate through this uncertain market moving forward. ➡️ Watch Here
“We are existing in an environment of lies, upside-down, backward, and sideways, where nothing makes sense,” says Greg Mannarino, founder of traderschoice.net and financial strategist, in the second part of our interview. He stresses that people should remain skeptical of what the Federal Reserve is telling them because “the polar opposite is true.” Mannarino sees de-dollarization as a real risk and warns that that “America is on borrowed time and the current system is in free-fall.” He argues that the U.S. has had the privilege of having the world reserve currency for many years, which has “allowed the U.S. to live a lifestyle that it's not entitled to” due to its ability to impact inflation around the world. Mannarino concludes that the Fed is trying to establish “a new feudal system” that wipes out the middle class. “Things are changing very very rapidly,” he warns. ➡️ Watch Here
“America is falling. You have a situation [where] we're living on borrowed money. We're living on borrowed time,” says Greg Mannarino, founder of traderschoice.net and financial strategist. He paints a bleak picture of the American economy as indicated by the inverted yield curve. Mannarino also expresses skepticism about the authenticity of newly released job data. “It's not checked by a third party. There's no bearing on reality. The economy is in free-fall. People are maxed out.” Plus, he warns a new market crash coming because the Federal Reserve “artificially suppressed rates,” reinflating a bubble. “If action is not taken by central banks to keep rates suppressed more than they are now… this market is going down a lot from here.” He also predicts a debt market meltdown, claiming that the Fed has to buy the debt and “create cash out of nothing” to keep targeted interest rates. “A central bank's power sides in only one thing.. and that is its ability to inflate,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“What if China says to Elon Musk, 'If you don't make sure that your algorithms on Twitter perform better and treat news about China in a better light, we are going to shut you down in China,'"” asks Gareth Soloway, president and CFO of InTheMoneyStocks.com. With China accounting for half of Tesla's global sales from April to June, the company is less likely to be immune from any political pressure China may impose on Twitter. “Let's say they do that.. Tesla stock falls by 50% at least… that means Elon Musk's net worth would decline by about one-third or 33%. Is there a national security threat with them selling vehicles in China?” he asks. Additionally, he discusses the excitement artificial intelligence ("AI") brings to the market and compares the AI momentum with the “dot-com” era. “Everyone got very, very excited about it because it was going to change the world, and it did, but it just took a little bit longer and you had to kind of filter out things for a while,” he says. He concludes by revealing a sleeper stock that investors should watch out for. ➡️ Watch Here
“Clearly, people that are familiar with the market would say, 'what do they know that nobody else doesn't?'” asks Will Rhind, founder and CEO of GraniteShares, as news circulates that BlackRock's spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund application may likely get approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He claims that the saga has been ongoing for years and it is unclear why many large institutions such as Fidelity and Invesco are following suit now. Additionally, Rhind claims that investors should be level-headed about Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's comments on raising interest rates. “We have to be a little bit careful at the same time… that's why the response from the market so far has been a little bit measured.” He concludes that the U.S. economy is strong and that signals a “dampening demand for [precious] metals.” ➡️ Watch Here
“And now we have a cascade of other participants that are saying, ‘the SEC didn't nuke crypto. They shot the nuke and crypto went into its bunker and then came back out for afternoon tea,” says Eric Wade, editor of Crypto Capital and Crypto CashFlow. He predicts bitcoin will reach $80,000 in a year and then go higher than that, citing the approvals of the ETFs and the scarcity of bitcoin. “44% of bitcoin has not moved in two years...44% of the supply of bitcoin being locked in... it's going to take more than that [$67,000] to free up some of the bitcoin that refused to move,” he explains. While commenting on BlackRock's spot-bitcoin ETF filing, Eric says the timing of the application is “interesting” because BlackRock didn't want to be “left out,” claiming that the government can't say no to BlackRock because the firm has 10 trillion dollars under management and “a lot of influence.” He concludes that the SEC's Operation Choke Point 2.0 will not strangle the crypto industry. Along with the launch of FedNow, there will be an acceleration of technology to move money faster, as well as opportunities.

“The economy is a lot stronger than people are giving it credit for and therefore I'm not necessarily looking for rates to be cut, but I'm looking for rates to flatten out,” says Marc Chaikin, founder and CEO for our corporate affiliate Chaikin Analytics. He says the central bank is unlikely to achieve its 2% target rate in the next five years. “The reality is the market is adjusting to higher interest rates.” But he maintains a bullish outlook, predicting the S&P 500 Index to rise 15% from now to reach 5,000 by year-end. Finally, Mark reveals the mechanisms his unique Power Gauge stock rating system is using, and what companies are worth looking into next for investors.

“Deflation will start coming back. And then, they're going to turn around and start money printing again,” says Chris Blasi, president and CEO of Neptune Global. “The market is perceiving the rates are a little high and that the Fed is gonna overdo it and that we're going to go into a recession.” He explains that we will be experiencing some “strong deflationary forces” in certain sectors of the economy as global supply-chain issues persist and housing prices continue rising. He also contends that the U.S. dollar's dominant status is fading as countries around the world shift toward trading in local currencies or alternative assets in the future. “When you move from a unipolar [system] to multipolar and one currency to multicurrency, and that's a time of chaos, that's when gold thrives,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“What people miss is this transition to what I believe is going to be a medium-term or even long-term supply shock in the commodities space,” says Josh Crumb, president and CEO of Abaxx Technologies. He explains that we're entering a period of “structurally higher inflation” and “heightened volatility” that will lead to the fluctuation of gold prices. Additionally, the global commodity infrastructure is underinvested across the board, down from roughly $2 trillion a year to nearly $1.5 trillion even though demand is still growing. “We're just chronically underinvested,” in a new environment with “higher volatility and higher interest rates,” he claims. “The capital is not hitting the market like it needs to,” he says. Finally, he discusses the future of the energy sector and how decarbonization finance could impact that space. ➡️ Watch Here
“The U.S. dollar is going to remain the reserve currency for the next several decades, as long as the Bill of Rights stays in place,” claims Joel Litman, president and CEO of Valens Research. He sees no imminent threat to the dollar because, “there's no fiat currency that's a good currency to invest in.” However, he believes this ongoing economic turmoil and geopolitical uncertainty could drag on for the next 24 months. “I think we're still going to have the recession, and it's not going to be pretty,” he warns. Finally, he shares what folks can do to navigate this choppy market. ➡️ Watch Here
“An alien threat is a government spending bonanza,” claims Edward Dowd, founding partner of Phinance Technologies. He also warns that central bank digital currencies could give the government more control over people's money and freedom, adding more economic chaos to today's bear market. And as economic conditions worsen, the U.S. dollar is “at an endgame” and the government would need to introduce a new financial system, he explains. In order to survive this ongoing turmoil, Dowd advises investors to seek opportunities in cash. “People at the maximum amount of fear will want to sell everything. You have to fight that fear,” he claims. Finally, he says that de-dollarization is unlikely to happen given the dollar's dominance in global trade. “So the dollar system, if it fails, will fail up, meaning it will destroy the rest of the globe before it destroys us,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“The reality is, this is the end of the current system's life cycle. It actually died in 2008,” says Lynette Zang, chief market analyst for ITM Trading. “They just pumped a lot of garbage [money] into the system to make it look like it's still alive and still viable when it's not.” She claims that we are living in a bigger crisis than the pandemic and the “entire system” needs to be changed. “Things don't look the same today as they did before, just like they don't look the same as they did in 2007 before the banking system actually died,” she warns. In addition, she points out that the recent crackdown on crypto by SEC is orchestrated by the authority to “scare the crap out of everybody” so that people can feel comfortable spending government-issued CBDCs in the future. Finally, Zang indicates that gold holds no geopolitical risk or counterparty risk as it's outside the system. “A rising gold price is an indication of a failing currency,” she concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“Does [CZ] really have $54 billion of cash? I don't know. But if he doesn't, you're at huge risk. They'll go to zero like FTX,” says Kevin O'Leary, business mogul and star of ABC's hit TV series Shark Tank. He claims that regulators are trying to “starve CZ from oxygen” because investors will not do business with anyone charged with the allegations at the regulator level. “There's no transparency in ownership. You don't know who owns those wallets,” says O'Leary. However, he acknowledges that CZ is in a difficult position. “I actually have compassion for him today. I feel sorry for him.” Speaking of the controversial PGA/LIV deal, O'Leary argues that it's a different world and the deal provides “an opening for every sport.” “My bet would be the Saudis go after soccer next,” he claims. “You can never make everybody happy all the time. That is an impossibility and you will deal with this criticism in perpetuity on anything you do and that's actually what corporate America has just learned,” he concludes. ➡️ Watch Here
“My expectation is until we have some significant news, we're probably going to see gold and silver continue to consolidate,” says Mark Yaxley, managing director at Strategic Wealth Preservation. He predicts that gold is likely to trade between $1,900 to $2,100 per ounce at the end of the year, and what the price has suggested now could be a good buying opportunity. When speaking of the headlines of central banks adding more gold to their reserve, Yaxley points out that the trend will continue, and that indicates “a solid base of demand for physical gold… which will help drive up the price.” ➡️ Watch Here
“Why would anyone with a brain bigger than a pea swallow the garbage spewing out of Jerome Powell's mouth? We are in a recession now,” says Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Journal online magazine. In this special episode, Daniela travels to Kingston, New York, and sits down with Celente, who shares views on life, money, and the recent economic turmoil in America. Gerald believes the central bank is clueless about how to resolve today's economic turmoil after exhausting its easy money policies. He says, "They dumped in countless trillions of dollars to fight the COVID-19 war. This is a crisis the likes of which we have never seen. They don't know what to do. They're guessing right now." "The reason why they're doing this is they want every tax dollar they can get. That's the bottom line." He concludes by warning folks that central bank digital currencies serve as a guide for the Fed to increase its control over consumers. ➡️ Watch Here
“Silver is gold on steroids. After gold gets going, people start to look at the next big thing, silver takes off,” says John Doody, editor of Gold Stock Analyst. He talks about the factors contributing to the bullish outlook for gold and silver, including unresolved debt issues and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest-rate hikes. He also discusses the deep-rooted cause for the recent banking crisis. "It's 2008 all over again. The banks are loaded up with bonds, [and] the value is way under what they paid for,” argues Doody. He explains that the Fed's rate-hike policy has diminished the value of bonds, leading to the death of Silicon Valley Bank since it had to sell bonds in losses to return money back to depositors. “The whole problem is really a problem for all banks,” he says. He believes that all banks are underwater in terms of bond holdings. Additionally, he contends that a cashless society is less likely because “people need cash to do transactions.”
“We're going to face a far worse crisis than what we're going through this moment,” says Peter Grandich, founder of Peter Grandich & Company, highlighting the massive national debt and incurring interest folks have to pay. “We have half our total revenue going just to pay the interest on our debt which is unsustainable,” he warns. Peter believes the economic turmoil we're experiencing has made the U.S. dollar vulnerable as countries around the world continue to shift away from the currency. "Many people in the world now are starting to dissociate themselves from the United States. That's what there's a movement to join the BRICS. The end is in sight now,” he warns. He concludes by highlighting the potential of a huge rally in the stock market if the central bank resolves its massive debt issue and shifts away from its aggressive rate-hike policy.
“We will not survive the system by figuring out how to hide from it,” says G. Edward Griffin, author of Creature from Jekyll Island and founder of the Red Pill University, in the second part of our interview. He says it's critical for folks to focus on protecting their portfolios. “Our lives and our freedom are at stake here,” Griffin warns. He also believes the banking crisis is not a surprise since it allows for the transition toward “a cashless society” with fewer banks. “Cash gives people autonomy.. it allows them to be independent of others,” he argues. Finally, he claims that de-dollarization is inevitable and might happen soon.
