Silver didn't just rally in 2025 — it broke out. After blasting through the multi-decade $50 ceiling and printing a violent spike into the $80s, silver finished the year still above $70, up roughly 140% while gold surged 64%. Meanwhile, the asset CNBC swore would win the year — Bitcoin — finished down, and Michael Saylor's Strategy (MicroStrategy) collapsed to a fresh 52-week low.In this episode, Peter Schiff explains why the “blow-off top” narrative is wrong, why silver's skepticism is actually bullish, and why this breakout is the start of a new leg higher — not the end. He also lays out why 2026 is shaping up as stagflation (weaker growth + stronger inflation), why tariffs will filter into consumer prices, why the Fed will face massive political pressure to cut and monetize, and why capital is rotating out of U.S. assets and into precious metals, commodities, foreign stocks, and emerging markets.If you're still treating Bitcoin as “digital gold,” this is your warning shot: silver is signaling something big — and crypto may be next to unwind.

Jun 16, 2025   In this episode, Alyson and Breht explore Friedrich Engels' Dialectics of Nature, a bold and underappreciated attempt to apply dialectical materialism to the natural sciences. Often dismissed or misunderstood, this unfinished work offers a sweeping view of reality - from physics and chemistry to evolution, human consciousness, and ecological breakdown - through the lens of Marxist philosophy. Together, they unpack Engels' central claim that nature itself unfolds dialectically: through contradiction, motion, transformation, and interconnection. They cover the three laws of dialectics, Engels' materialist account of human evolution, his critique of mechanistic science, vulgar materialism, and metaphysical thinking, as well as his early warnings about capitalism's ecological consequences. Along the way, they connect these insights to Marx's concept of species-being, and reflect on what this revolutionary worldview offers in the age of climate crisis, hyper-alienation, and late capitalist decay. Finally, Alyson and Breht have a fascinating open-ended discussion about the existential and spiritual implications of dialectical materialism as a worldview. Whether you're new to dialectical materialism or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation reframes Engels' work as a profound contribution not just to Marxism, but to the philosophy of science itself. Here are the episodes recommended for further listening in the episode: Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 - Karl Marx On Contradiction - Mao Marxism 101: Intro to Historical Materialism (and the Necessity of Socialism) The Nature of All Things: Spinoza's Philosophical Odyssey All Dialectic Deep Dive Episodes ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio: https://revleftradio.com/

We talk the military and economic moves by the Communist bloc countries going into 2026. What are we failing to recognize? What happens to those who refuse to see reality? Are we living in a false reality? And, if so, how do we wake up from it before its too late? We ask the questions.

Bob is the created and owner of Trade Genius Academy. Bob also does a podcast on YouTube which is called Trade Genius. President Trump, including tariffs generating billions, moderated inflation due to reduced money supply, falling rents from deportations, lower drug and health insurance costs, stabilizing food prices, and declining energy costs amid opened supply gates. Bob predicts stable food prices, declining rents, moderated healthcare inflation, and energy prices potentially dropping further post-Russia-Ukraine resolution. The conversation covers Bitcoin’s possible dip to $58,000-62,000 as speculation shifts to gold and silver, with gold potentially reaching five figures and silver facing supply shortages due to China’s export restrictions and industrial demand. Bob believes tariffs will potentially enabling tax refunds, dividends, and even eliminating income tax, while criticizing past fraud, corruption in federal programs, and the need to audit the Fed

RETHINKING BORDERS AND THE ECONOMIC NECESSITY OF HUMAN MOBILITY Colleague Gaia Vince. Vince argues that while humans have migrated for hundreds of thousands of years, modern borders currently restrict the world's most valuable economic resource: human labor. She suggests that removing these barriers could significantly boost global GDP, noting that current restrictions are ill-suited for a world facing climate catastrophe. As the Global North faces a demographic crisis with aging populations, Vince asserts these nations need immigrants to sustain their economies. She advocates for managing migration through "social investment" and inclusivity rather than brutality, ensuring that new arrivals are viewed as assets rather than threats.

Economic vulnerability affects 1 in 4 American Jews, but it doesn't affect all of them equally, writes Tulane University sociologist Ilana Horwitz in her recent SAPIR article, “Poverty and Jewish Community.” The difference between a life of temporary hardship and one of permanent poverty may, in some circumstances, boil down to whether a person or family is embedded deeply in Jewish life. Why is that the case? What does this finding reveal about the invisible safety net of Jewish belonging? And what are the practical interventions at our disposal to help alleviate financial strain? Horwitz joined Managing Editor Phil Getz for an in-depth discussion about poverty and the American Jewish community. Read Ilana Horwitz's essay: https://sapirjournal.org/money/2025/poverty-and-jewish-community/ Watch the virtual discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ueBdD9TltQ Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/theo-gerard/monsieur-groove

On this episode of the podcast, Georgia Congressman Austin Scott and Montana Congressman Troy Downing join the show to break down what's at stake in the final stretch of the year in Congress, and why the next policy decisions matter far beyond Washington.Rep. Scott explains how new media is reshaping the political battlefield, helping Republicans unify, block looming tax hikes, and confront inflation head-on. Drawing from personal experience, he delivers a blunt assessment of the Affordable Care Act's failures and makes the case for real healthcare competition, transparency in political spending, and cross-state insurance reforms to drive down costs for families.Rep. Downing outlines the race to pass critical appropriations bills while sounding the alarm on Obamacare's role in rising healthcare costs and market instability. He also spotlights America's vulnerability in critical minerals, particularly platinum and palladium, and details his Stop Russian Mineral Manipulation Act, aimed at protecting U.S. production, strengthening domestic processing, and ending reliance on hostile foreign supply chains.You can learn more about this podcast, Host Amanda Head, or follow either Congressman on X by searching for the respective handles: @FurthermorePod , @AmandaHead , @RepTroyDowning , @AustinScottGA08.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

DCF Trends Summit 2025 Session Recap As the data center industry accelerates into an AI-driven expansion cycle, the fundamentals of site selection and investment are being rewritten. In this session from the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit 2025, Ed Socia of datacenterHawk moderated a discussion with Denitza Arguirova of Provident Data Centers, Karen Petersburg of PowerHouse Data Centers, Brian Winterhalter of DLA Piper, Phill Lawson-Shanks of Aligned Data Centers, and Fred Bayles of Cologix on how power scarcity, entitlement complexity, and community scrutiny are reshaping where—and how—data centers get built. A central theme of the conversation was that power, not land, now drives site selection. Panelists described how traditional assumptions around transmission timelines and flat electricity pricing no longer apply, pushing developers toward Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, power-first strategies, and closer partnerships with utilities. On-site generation, particularly natural gas, was discussed as a short-term bridge rather than a permanent substitute for grid interconnection. The group also explored how entitlement processes in mature markets have become more demanding. Economic development benefits alone are no longer sufficient; jurisdictions increasingly expect higher-quality design, sensitivity to surrounding communities, and tangible off-site investments. Panelists emphasized that credibility—earned through experience, transparency, and demonstrated follow-through—has become essential to securing approvals. Sustainability and ESG considerations remain critical, but the discussion took a pragmatic view of scale. Meeting projected data center demand will require a mix of energy sources, with renewables complemented by transitional solutions and evolving PPA structures. Community engagement was highlighted as equally important, extending beyond environmental metrics to include workforce development, education, and long-term social investment. Artificial intelligence added another layer of complexity. While large AI training workloads can operate in remote locations, monetized AI applications increasingly demand proximity to users. Rapid hardware cycles, megawatt-scale racks, and liquid-cooling requirements are driving more modular, adaptable designs—often within existing data center portfolios. The session closed with a look at regional opportunity and investor expectations, with markets such as Pennsylvania, Alabama, Ohio, and Oklahoma cited for their utility relationships and development readiness. The overarching conclusion was clear: the traditional data center blueprint still matters—but power strategy, flexibility, and authentic community integration now define success.

There is a lot of discussion about "affordability," especially regarding young Americans' ability to buy their first home and achieve financial stability. A key step in achieving that American dream is getting a good job, but the problem is that getting that job has become harder, especially for Gen Z. Economic growth is being driven by productivity and investment in artificial intelligence, rather than by hiring. This is creating what some call a "jobless boom" in some industries. Translation: the job market is very competitive.

Let's talk about Trump causing more economic damage just in time for Christmas....

From "It's a Wonderful Life" to "Die Hard," uncover timeless financial lessons — bank runs, inflation, generosity, and customer-first capitalism — hidden in your favorite Christmas films. Kevin and Marnie connect nostalgia with real-world economics, highlighting middle-class pressures, ethical business, and the true spirit of giving.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's  Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. President Trump is smashing economic records because of the Big, Beautiful Bill. This is the result of bold leadership—tax cuts that put money back in your pocket and tariffs that put America first. The numbers don't lie: billions of dollars have flowed into the economy since Trump took office. The media won't tell you this. They're too busy fearmongering about inflation. Yes, the price index rose 2.8 percent—big deal. Some economists warn about interest rates, but the fundamentals are strong. Growth is real, and it proves the America First agenda works—better than anything Biden could ever dream of. Compare this to Biden's disaster—his stagflation nightmare. Trump has crushed that tenfold. He's delivering prosperity while Biden would have delivered misery. The fake news media will keep lying, keep spinning, and try to scare you. But the truth is undeniable: Trump is making historic, record-breaking changes to our economy, and the American people are winning because of it. Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Holidays and welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast! Today, we are joined by Rod Khleif, a multifamily real estate investor, best-selling author, and host of a top 1% business podcast with over 20 million downloads. Rod shares his journey from growing up with very little, to losing $50M during the 2008 crash, and rebuilding a stronger, purpose-driven real estate business. This episode focuses on mindset, taking action despite fear, and why real estate continues to create opportunity during uncertain markets. If you tend to overanalyze or feel stuck waiting for the "right time," this conversation is for you. In this episode, we chat about… The real reason most first-time investors stay stuck in analysis paralysis Why mindset and psychology matter more than technical knowledge How fear, regret, and limiting beliefs stop people from taking action Why real estate is still full of opportunity during economic uncertainty The importance of partnerships between analytical and relationship-driven investors How gratitude and giving back became a core part of Rod's success Why surrounding yourself with the right peer group changes everything Key Takeaways: Fear regret more than failure. Most people don't fail because they tried—they fail because they never started. Mindset drives results. Success is mostly psychological, not technical. Play to your strengths. Partner, hire, or align for your weaknesses. Real estate is a team sport. There are many roles beyond finding deals. Economic shifts create opportunity.

Send us a textStrategy comes alive when the economy is viewed like a chessboard. We reframe Nigeria's markets across 64 squares, where each square represents an industry and each piece mirrors a real actor: kings as policy institutions, queens as visionary industrialists, rooks as powerful conglomerates, bishops as diagonal innovators, knights as agile dealmakers, and pawns as the countless SMEs pushing toward promotion. What looks like a flat board hides a layered terrain of liquidity, regulation, and technology—tilts that speed up some moves and slow others.We unpack how colonial openings constrained the early game and how today's middle game is defined by consolidation, alliances, and vertical integration across cement, energy, finance, logistics, and telecoms. From diversification to innovation leaps, we explore the tactics that build durable advantage in Nigeria's economy: strategic castling through public–private partnerships, surviving regulatory ambushes like sudden forex or tax changes, and the long march of promotion as startups scale into regional leaders. We highlight the role of industrialists who move like queens across multiple files, the steady influence of rooks in pan-African institutions, and the surprising jumps of knights who time entries and exits for outsized impact.At the center of this story are SMEs—the pawns whose disciplined grind unlocks transformation. With patient play, access to capital, and smart policy, the smallest pieces can reshape entire files. We close with practical takeaways: choose the right square, understand your piece, read the gradients beneath your market, and plan three moves ahead. If you're a founder, policymaker, or operator, this lens helps you make clearer decisions, build resilient strategies, and spot new diagonals of growth.Enjoy the episode, then share it with someone who's ready to rethink their playbook.
