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.

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.  Get Wealthion's Rare Earth Investment White Paper here: https://wealthion.com/rare-earth-metals/ Chapters: 2:16 - Why Rare Earths Are Front‑Page News 4:59 - What Exactly Makes a Metal “Rare Earth”? 6:02 - Which Rare‑Earth Metals Really Matter? 8:38 - Light vs. Heavy Rare Earths 9:40 - So… Why Are Rare Earths Actually Rare? 11:41 - How Did China Corner the Market? 16:33 - Canada's Hidden Rare‑Earth Potential 22:17 - Where Outside China Has the Best Prospects? 26:50 - Brazil's Billion‑Ton Ionic‑Clay Discovery 32:09 - Do Mining Majors Already Produce Rare Earths? 35:54 - Which Companies Should Investors Watch? 42:00 - Cycle Check: Is Now the Time to Buy? 45:47 - Can the West Really Re‑industrialize?

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.

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.
