Why does the economy keep falling into recession, and why don't most economists see it coming? In this thought-provoking conversation, Chris Casey of WindRock Wealth Management breaks down the real cause of recessions: central banks. Drawing on the Austrian School of Economics, Casey argues that artificially low interest rates and explosive monetary expansion fuel malinvestment and set the stage for inevitable downturns. He explains why mainstream economists and even Fed officials often have no coherent theory of the business cycle, and why their repeated interventions actually guarantee the next crisis. Chris and Maggie Lake also walk through the top indicators to watch, like money supply, the yield curve, and credit spreads, and share how investors should position themselves in this uncertain phase of the business cycle.

In this week's Rise UP! Terri Kallsen, Joe Duran, Peter Boockvar, and Jon Betlow discuss everything from how market data and consumer actions are suggesting an economic slowdown is coming — to asking if the TACO trade is real? Peter explains why buying the dip isn't necessarily the way to go and that there is a better way to ensure your investments go up. Jon talks about managing emotions and client fears that a recession — and some even worry a depression -- is near, and the extremes they could go. And we take a deep dive into the data and what 2025 Q3 and Q4 could look like, what the team thinks will really happen, and what to do if it does.

Edward Dowd says the 2025 recession is already unfolding, and investors are completely misreading the signals. In this hard-hitting interview, the former BlackRock managing director and founder of Phinance Technologies explains why the U.S. economy is far weaker than the headlines suggest. Housing is cracking, AI spending has peaked, and the true impact of mass immigration is just now being understood. Dowd argues inflation will plunge below 2% by Q4, deflation is the real risk, and U.S. Treasury bonds are the best asset to own right now. He also explains why the Fed and asset managers were misled by faulty data, and why the housing downturn will lead, not lag, the recession. Key Topics: Why the housing market is the “white swan” collapse no one's ready for How 20M migrants artificially boosted U.S. economic numbers Why inflation is set to fall hard—and what most investors get wrong His contrarian call on the bond market and how to position for it Gold's new role in the monetary system (and a potential $10K target) The AI boom is over, so what happens next to equities and jobs Why crypto remains a risk asset… for now Chapters: 0:45 - Inflation & Gas Prices: How Bad Is It? 2:17 - Why Dowd Sees a Deep Recession Ahead 6:30 - Are Cracks Forming in Housing? 10:17 - What Will Trigger Higher Unemployment? 13:10 - Retail Giant Collapse—A Sign of Trouble? 14:07 - Will the “Big Beautiful Bill” Backfire? 16:19 - Exploding Deficits: Is Austerity Unavoidable? 18:33 - Could Bond Yields Shoot to 6 Percent? 24:47 - Is the U.S. Dollar on the Brink? 27:46 - Recession by Q4 2025: How Likely? 29:03 - How Severe Could the Downturn Get? 30:12 - Global Fallout: Can the World Withstand a U.S. Recession? 32:14 - S&P's Surge: Dead-Cat Bounce or New Bull? 35:16 - Commercial Real Estate: Next Shoe to Drop? 36:51 - Gold vs Bitcoin: Where's the Smart Money Going?

Contrarian macro strategist David Hunter delivers his boldest outlook yet: a final parabolic melt-up in stocks during 2025, capping a 43-year secular bull market, followed by what he calls the biggest deflationary bust since 1929. In this must-watch interview with James Connor, Hunter predicts the S&P 500 surging to 8000 and the Dow to 55,000 before an 80 % collapse wipes out trillions. Key points he explains: Why the Fed is already behind the curve and will soon panic-cut rates How bearish institutional positioning could fuel the melt-up Signs we may already be in a recession Why the coming global bust could dwarf 2008 How a $20 trillion Fed balance-sheet expansion could spark hyperinflation later in the 2030s Why the next bull market should favor commodities, oil, and precious metals over tech Also discussed: his targets of $ 20,000 gold, $500 silver, $500 oil, and why traditional index investing may be “dead money” for a generation.

Gold's bull market is just heating up, here's what comes next… In this deeply insightful interview, Incrementum's Ronnie Stoeferle joins Trey Reik to share highlights from his just-released In Gold We Trust 2025 report: The Big Long. Ronnie explains why gold is no longer a contrarian bet but a strategic response to the collapse of trust in fiat currencies, central banks, and political leadership. Now in the second phase of its secular bull market, “around the 6th inning,” as Ronnie puts it, gold could be heading toward $4,800 or even $10,000. He breaks down the case for both “safe haven gold” (physical, long-term) and “performance gold” (silver, mining stocks, commodities, Bitcoin), and why the real upside may lie in the under-owned parts of the trade. You'll also hear how central banks are not just buying gold, but repatriating it. And how a quiet remonetization of gold may be underway, laying the groundwork for a future monetary reset.

In this insightful interview, Justin Chan, Head of Research at SCP Resource Finance, sits down with Trey Reik to explain why 90 % of heavy rare earths are still processed in China, how that gives Beijing pricing power over EVs, wind turbines, and defense tech, and why even top-tier mining projects are barely breaking even.

In this hard-hitting, no-nonsense Speak Up episode, value investor Sven Carlin joins Anthony Scaramucci to expose the financial risks threatening your portfolio, from U.S. debt compounding at 8%, and overvalued markets, to investor psychology shaped by years of Fed and fiscal bailouts. Drawing from his childhood in hyperinflation-era Yugoslavia, Sven warns that money printing is the only way out of the West's massive debt burden, and that the endgame is hyperinflation. He explains why traditional inflation hedges like gold may not offer cost-effective protection, and what real assets he believes investors must own to protect their wealth from what's coming. Key Topics: • Why Sven won't touch the S&P 500 at current valuations • The hidden costs of Trump's tariff strategy and trade wars • Why food stocks and real businesses beat speculative assets • The “buy the dip” trap enabled by Fed policy • How China may outlast the U.S. in economic warfare Whether you're a cautious investor or market bull, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and help you prepare for what's next.

In this must-watch conversation, you'll learn: Why gold could soar to $10,000 How yield curve control may be the Fed's next move Why the 60/40 portfolio is broken How inflation expectations are driving markets Why volatility is the new safe haven What true diversification looks like in a fragile financial regime Parrilla also critiques the illusion of safety in Treasuries and the dollar, expresses skepticism about Bitcoin, and explains how to position portfolios for resilience in what he calls a “hostile market environment.” Chapters: 0:18 - Global Markets at a Breaking Point? 4:17 – The Hidden Rot Beneath the Global Economy 8:55 – Can Tariffs Save Us, or Doom Us? 18:35 – Why Inflation Isn't Going Away Anytime Soon 22:47 – The Dangerous Illusion of Deflation 30:28 – When Your Worst Economic Fears Come True 32:35 – Stagflation Is Here.

Is gold the most compelling investment of 2025? Adrian Day, CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, says yes, and backs it up with conviction. In this powerful conversation with Trey Reik, Adrian explains why gold offers the best risk-reward profile in decades, and why even conservative investors should pay close attention. Adrian breaks down the real drivers behind gold's rise, from surging central bank demand and de-dollarization to the U.S. government's “criminally irresponsible” handling of long-term debt. And while gold is making headlines, gold mining stocks remain deeply undervalued. Adrian shares why most investors are still on the sidelines, what's starting to shift in 2025, and how miners now offer superior margins, strong balance sheets, and breakout potential. Key Topics Covered: Why gold is rising despite a strong dollar and higher yields Why central banks and Asian investors are driving demand Why Adrian holds 30% gold in conservative portfolios U.S. debt policy and the risks of a fiscal crisis Why gold stocks have lagged, and why that's changing in 2025 How to build a smart gold equity portfolio Adrian's strategy for picking junior miners: people and cash flow Chapters: 1:34 - Why Adrian's Firm Bets Big on Gold 5:33 - 30% Gold?

Why does China control 90%+ of the world's rare earths, and what can the West do to fight back? In this eye-opening conversation, SCP Resource Finance CEO David Wargo joins Trey Reik to explain how China monopolized one of the world's most strategic industries and why rare earths are now a frontline weapon in the U.S.-China trade war. With China already cutting off critical mineral exports, including rare earths, the West is being forced to scramble for new sources and rebuild its industrial base. David breaks down the rare earths that really matter (neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium), why they're essential to EVs, robotics, and wind power, and why the West is years behind due to decades of offshoring. He also reveals two companies best positioned for the coming reindustrialization push and hunger for Rare Earths: MEI and EFR. With geopolitical urgency rising and policy momentum building, the rare earth sector now faces strong tailwinds, making it one of the most compelling long-term opportunities in global investing.

Are investors missing the most important macro shift in decades? In this must-watch interview, Julien Garran of the MacroStrategy Partnership joins Trey Reik to explain why the market has completely misread the economic agenda of the Trump 2.0 administration. Behind the headlines and media noise lies the “Real Trump Trade”, a radical restructuring of U.S. economic policy aimed squarely at reversing two generations of blue-collar decline. Key Topics: Why markets are reacting incorrectly to Trump's return and what they're missing How four key forces: trade, government spending, energy policy, and antitrust are being weaponized to reshape the economy Why Julien believes we're headed first into a deflationary bust, followed by a reflationary boom What this means for the U.S. dollar, commodities, gold stocks, and Big Tech Why Julien sees AI as a bursting bubble, with commercial viability hitting a wall How Trump's economic team may be willing to endure a recession to trigger long-term change This conversation offers powerful insights into what's coming next and why the current investor playbook may be obsolete.

Are Trump's dramatic tariffs simply a negotiation tactic rather than an intentional trade war? Marko Papic, Chief Strategist at BCA Research, joins Maggie Lake for a critical conversation explaining why markets have misunderstood Trump's tariff policy from the beginning and what deeper macroeconomic risks investors should actually be focused on. Key Topics: How Trump has used extreme tariff threats as leverage, and why markets repeatedly fall for it What the rise of a multipolar world means for global markets and U.S. economic power The hidden but urgent risk investors are overlooking: a recession where bond yields stay high, undermining traditional market safety nets Why U.S. market outperformance is coming to an end as fiscal stimulus runs dry, exposing vulnerabilities investors aren't ready for Marko's bold call: why the U.S. dollar is at risk of a 30% decline, and how investors should reposition globally If today's chaotic headlines have you concerned about markets, geopolitics, or the next big risk for your investments, this conversation is essential viewing.

In Part II of our in-depth interview with renowned investor Lawrence Lepard, Trey Reik continues the conversation to explore why Larry believes gold stocks are poised for explosive upside, and why a looming sovereign debt crisis will force central banks back into money printing, an event he calls “The Big Print.” In this episode: The mining companies Larry believes could deliver asymmetric returns How he structures his portfolio across producers, developers, and drillers The valuation disconnect between gold prices and mining equities, and the key metrics he uses for valuing them Why silver miners may offer even more leverage and upside than gold miners Larry's take on geopolitical risk, and why he sees overlooked opportunity in regions like Africa Whether rising tariffs could trigger the next global market event Later, Brett Rentmeester of Windrock Wealth joins the conversation to reflect on Larry's interview, offering a portfolio manager's view on the role of physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin in protecting capital in today's fragile macro environment. Brett also discusses why gold miners have lagged the metal itself, and whether that disconnect is about to change.

Are the U.S. and global markets on the edge of a massive regime change? In this high-impact Part II, The Bear Traps Report founder and bestselling author Larry McDonald shares with James Connor a dire warning: U.S. sanctions and Trump's tariffs are forcing global central banks to ditch U.S. treasuries for gold, the dollar is entering a structural decline, and a coming economic slowdown could pull the S&P 500 down to the low 4,000s. He breaks down where capital is headed and why gold, silver, oil, and emerging markets will be the big winners. Then, Rocklinc's Jonathan Wellum shares his thoughts on Larry's interview and his firm's portfolio strategy. He explains why he holds nearly 30% cash, favors investing in royalty companies over miners, and avoids European exposure in favor of select value stocks. The conversation also tackles reshoring, structural inflation, Trump's likely economic pivot, and what investors should do now to prepare.

Economist, financial expert, and bestselling author Dr. Nomi Prins sits down with James Connor and dives deep into the economic storm clouds she sees gathering over Wall Street and Main Street alike. With Wall Street sitting on a “hidden” $620 billion ticking time bomb of loan losses (levels not seen since 2008), the risks of another banking crisis are mounting. Nomi explains why persistent inflation, record consumer debt, and tariff uncertainties are increasing the threat of a consumer recession, putting the economy at significant risk of stagflation. She reveals how the Fed's next moves, with potentially deeper interest rate cuts, could reshape markets dramatically. You'll also hear from her about major geopolitical shifts, including Europe's surging defense spending amid ongoing global tensions, and why central banks (particularly China) are rapidly diversifying from U.S. Treasuries into gold, likely pushing gold prices significantly higher.
