After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain left open for new Alien Tort Statute claims. We try to build a theory of the ATS from first principles — Section 9 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law of nations, and the Marbois affair — before running through two decades of the Court narrowing the statute. Then we ask what to make of "door closing" as a phenomenon, from Edwards v. Vannoy to Rucho, and whether the Court would really be stuck if the perfect ATS unicorn finally showed up. Along the way: whether Justice Alito is an I-95 or an Amtrak guy, the seven-case October calendar led by Suncor, Rooker anti-Feldmanism, and a Phoenix bar band called the Blackstone Three.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: 29 episodes makes a record-breaking season, and the secret to sub-4-hour recording sessions[00:02:28] Justice Alito's WSJ interview with James Taranto: "Obviously I'm here for another term," the vultures, and his high school English teacher's psychoanalysis[00:06:27] How Will became a libertarian: Mr. Flannery, Lexis news alerts for "Ayn Rand," and golfer David Duval[00:09:48] Still no action on the mail-in voting applications; a White House ballroom emergency application expected any day[00:11:15] No rehearing petition in Trump v.

Will Harvey got into real estate the way a lot of people do. He dropped out of college after a double hip surgery ended football, landed on a mortgage desk in 2015, and figured out fast how leverage worked. He bought his first house on a $30,000 salary with his dad as a co-signer, rented out two of the three bedrooms, and house hacked a deal before he knew the word for it.Then came the part nobody puts in the brochure. Three rentals in an expensive market, no money left, and the discovery that owning property is not passive. As Will puts it, the only genuinely passive position in real estate is limited partner, and you pay for it by giving up control.So he kept moving. He left a high-paying W2 to flip houses, rolled the flip profits into syndications, took bonus depreciation against the gains, did a couple of deals as a GP. And somewhere in there he figured out what actually excites him is the finance side of the table, not the operating side.That led to a friends-and-family fund in 2023, an accidental first hard money loan, and eventually a dedicated 506(c) fund built on a specific idea: that hard money underwriting is due for a rebuild from first principles.Will walks through the seven risks he underwrites against, why he thinks most lenders collect the wrong paperwork while skipping the single most predictive input available, and how he uses AI to compress an underwriting file from hours to about ten minutes without giving up the verification step.He also talks about the $70,000 he lost on a deal he already knew he should not have taken, what he looks for in an investor conversation before he will accept a wire, and why the boring end of real estate is the point rather than the compromise.What you will learnWhy Will chose debt over equity, and what that decision has to do with temperament rather than returnsThe first-principles exercise he ran on lending, and the seven risks it producedWhich document lenders over-collect, and which input they skip entirelyHow AI actually sits in his underwriting stack, and where he still verifies by handWhat he screens for in a first conversation with a prospective investorWhy he charges points and has no prepayment penaltyConnect with Will HarveyWebsite: harvey-capital.comEmail: will@harvey-capital.comLinkedIn: search Will Harvey, Harvey CapitalThis week's bookTitan: The Life of John D.

Globally, 23 percent of the world’s population had myopia in 2000. By 2020, that rate had risen to 34 percent. Some experts estimate that it could reach 50 percent by 2050. Rates among children and adolescents are even higher in some places, reaching 70 percent among East Asians and an alarming 86 percent among Singaporean Chinese youth 15 and under (British Journal of Ophthalmology, July 2016).  Why are so many people, including young people, myopic? Are there implications beyond a need for corrective lenses (glasses or contacts)? Can we reverse this trend by limiting screen time or encouraging more time outdoors? Are there treatments that can help children and adolescents improve their vision? Which Vision Specialist Should You See? Eyes are complicated, and caring for vision problems has become increasingly specialized and technically sophisticated. As a result, ophthalmologists (eye doctors) now often treat just one part of the eye, such as the retina or the cornea. Some surgeons specialize in removing cataracts. Others, like Dr. Sharon Fekrat, are expert in retinal surgery. There are also pediatric ophthalmologists who treat children. In addition, some people need to consult a neuro-ophthalmologist or someone who specializes in inherited retinal degenerations, uveitis or ocular oncology. How can you determine which type of eye doctor you should see to address your particular problem most effectively? What Is in a Complete Eye Examination? Dr. Fekrat will describe the elements of a complete eye examination. Why is each one included? What further steps are needed if trouble is detected? This will give you an idea of how vision problems are assessed and where to turn for treatment. Managing Dry Eyes One of the most common complaints is dry eyes. This condition is uncomfortable as well as common, affecting up to half of adults in the US. What are the causes? Are there treatments? People often use eye drops to alleviate the discomfort. Which ones work best? What can a person do if they have severe dry eye problems and are referred to a dry eye specialist with an appointment months in advance? Is it dangerous to postpone dry eye care? What to Do About Blepharitis When the problem is more the eyelid than the eye itself, doctors call it blepharitis. One typical symptom is crust on the lids, which may feel itchy or scratchy. Some people find that applying warm compresses morning and evening is helpful. Others need medication. You may have seen ads for Xdemvy, which is aimed at reducing the population of Demodex mites living in the follicles of the eyelashes. Mites are not the only problem, however. Sometimes bacterial infections are the underlying cause of blepharitis. Rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis that affect skin elsewhere on the face may also show up with the same symptoms.  Topical ivermectin cream has been used off-label on the eyelid margins and may help reduce Demodex mites, but it is not an FDA-approved eye treatment and should only be used under an eye clinician's direction because it is not intended for instillation into the eye. How Will the Doctor Diagnose Glaucoma? Glaucoma is generally understood as a condition in which pressure inside the eye rises and damages the optic nerve. This disease can lead to vision loss. That's why intraocular pressure measurement should always be part of the eye exam. But this simple diagnostic technique alone may be incomplete. We'll ask Dr. Fekrat about additional approaches that might pick up normal-pressure glaucoma. How is it treated? Age-Related Macular Degeneration Deserves Treatment Another of the vision problems that can cause serious impairment is age-related macular degeneration. In this disorder, the central part of the retina, the macula, loses its ability to focus. Patients may notice that the central part of the vision is blurry, and it may be harder to see under low light conditions. Ophthalmologists now have a range of medications to inject to slow the progression of macular degeneration. Dr. Fekrat can describe the difference between “dry” and “wet” macular degeneration and the drugs used to treat them. What Other Vision Problems Are Troubling You? This is a chance to ask questions and get answers about vision problems from an expert. You can send email to radio@PeoplesPharmacy.com or call in your questions to 888-472-3366 between 7 and 8 am EDT on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

What if your AI coding agent is quietly cheating on your tests — and how do you stop it? Julien Verlaguet, who built the type system Meta used to migrate tens of millions of PHP lines, is now building Skipper: a closed-loop coding agent designed to make AI-generated code verifiably correct, without human intervention.In this episode, Julien Verlaguet, creator of the Hack programming language at Meta and co-founder of SkipLabs, explains why AI agents will always try to cheat — gaming tests, quietly modifying logic while doing something else, and declaring work done when it isn't. He draws on his experience migrating Meta's PHP codebase to a statically typed system, drawing sharp parallels between convincing engineers to trust a new type checker and building systems that can trust an LLM. Julien makes the case for spec-driven development with validation layers at every step, where separate AI instances verify correctness and the code-writing agent is locked out of touching tests.He shares the story of an LLM that silently swapped a union for an intersection while splitting a file — a subtle bug that passed all tests — and why no human would ever have made that mistake. He then walks through how Skipper works: you write a spec, hand over control, and a compiler-like agent produces correct, runnable TypeScript without back-and-forth, backed by a sound incremental type system, reachability analysis, and a reactive runtime that applies diffs in milliseconds.He closes with a grounded take on how the developer role is shifting — not disappearing — toward the kind of design, integration, and oversight work that always mattered most.Key topics discussed:Why AI agents will always try to cheat on your testsThe union-vs-intersection bug an LLM introduced silentlySpec-driven development to keep LLMs on trackHow to separate the AI that verifies from the one that fixesSkipper: a compiler-like closed-loop coding agentSound, incremental TypeScript built for AI-speed iterationHot-reloading state without restarting — in millisecondsWhy developers are all becoming tech leadsTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:34) How Did Julien Create the Hack Programming Language at Facebook?(00:05:53) Does Static Typing Make Your Code More Secure?(00:09:54) How Did You Convince Facebook Engineers to Adopt Hack at Scale?(00:17:15) How Can Engineers Overcome Skepticism Toward AI Coding Tools?(00:22:44) Should Junior Engineers Trust AI-Generated Code?(00:29:44) How Do You Build Reliable Guardrails for LLM-Generated Code?(00:42:15) What Validation Strategies Prevent AI Agents From Cheating on Tests?(00:45:54) What Is Skipper and How Does a Closed-Loop Coding Agent Work?(00:54:59) How Does Skipper Compare to Claude Code in Terms of Correctness?(00:58:27) How Do You Get Started With Skipper and What Does the Output Look Like?(01:04:50) How Will the Software Developer Role Change in an AI-First World?(01:09:06) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Julien Verlaguet's BioJulien Verlaguet is a programming language designer and the Founder and CEO of SkipLabs.

What's the secrets to unreasonable hospitality? That's what I wanted to find out when I sat down with Will Guidara and Brian Canlis. Will spent over a decade running Eleven Madison Park, the restaurant voted number one in the world, and Brian is the force behind Canlis in Seattle, one of the most respected fine dining institutions in the country. Their insights on hospitality extend far beyond the restaurant world, and I was particularly struck by how they've systematically approached building meaningful connections, both online and off. Their approach to "unreasonable hospitality" has completely reshaped how I think about every customer touchpoint in my own business, and there are so many actionable ideas here for any creator or entrepreneur.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:07 How Will and Brian started working together03:07 The first big project they worked on04:47 Brian's "friend internship" and meeting his wife05:56 Brian's career running Canlis08:26 The vision for their current business14:16 Shifting from consulting to creative studio16:18 The broad applicability of hospitality30:53 Chewy's pattern recognition and customer experience35:16 "What would have to be true?" for seemingly impossible goals45:40 Mapping every tiny guest interaction54:19 The value of "fresh eyes" and notebook feedback1:07:47 Why doing the "right thing" matters long-term1:09:15 The 95/5 rule for managing resources1:11:49 Opportunities to elevate the Kit platform experience1:15:16 Making powerful tools accessible and fun1:18:18 Celebrating user milestones and personalized momentsIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

China just surpassed the US as India's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $151 billion and a trade deficit that has ballooned to an all-time high of $112 billion. Beijing has also rolled out sweeping new supply chain rules that could penalise companies moving manufacturing out. So what does this mean for India? John Quelch, American President, Executive Vice Chancellor and Distinguished Professor of Social Science, Duke Kunshan University argues the deficit isn't the real story. China plays a long, calculated game — on tariffs, on technology, on geopolitics. India needs to learn to read that game, not react to it.

She grew up navigating a war zone of a family home, arrived in Bombay with ₹50 lakhs borrowed from a neighbour, and watched her debut film get pulled from theatres the morning after India lost the cricket World Cup.

Tamil Nadu heads to the polls with its familiar two-party battle DMK vs AIADMK facing an unprecedented challenge. Actor-turned-politician Vijay and his party TVK are injecting fresh uncertainty into a state that has ritually voted out incumbents since 1967. With law and order, corruption, and drugs dominating voter anxieties, MK Stalin's "Dravidian model" faces a tough stress test. Vijay's caste-neutral identity and populist promises are drawing the youth away from established loyalties. In 120 seats won by razor-thin margins, even a vote-splitter can rewrite history. Host Nidhi Sharma talks to ET’s Dia Rekhi and Krishna Kumar how April 23 could be one Tamil Nadu's most consequential elections.You can follow our host Nidhi Sharma on her social media: Twitter & LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like: How Will a Volatile ₹ Impact You in 2026?, How Quick Commerce is Triggering a Health Crisis for Gen Z, Two Women Fought to Change India's Maternity Laws...and Succeeded, Can India Truly End Naxalism?, Semaglutide Goes Generic: Big Pharma’s Moat Breaks and much more.

India's medical tourism industry is in a quiet downturn. Foreign patient arrivals have fallen roughly a third since 2019 from nearly 700,000 visitors to around 500,000 dragged down by strained ties with Bangladesh, visa processing times stretching up to 60 days, and aggressive competition from Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. A tax incidence on medical referrals threatens to push costs higher just as global insurers remain largely unempanelled with Indian hospitals. The silver lining: average revenue per patient is rising, as high-value procedures like oncology and cardiac surgery now dominate. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to ET’s Forum Gandhi and pharma editor Vikas Dandekar about the problem, its reasons and fixes.

India's wealthy are quietly trading flash for function. The luxury MPV — long dismissed as a hotel shuttle or family hauler — has become the unlikely status symbol of the country's new-money elite. Founders close funding rounds from reclining rear seats. Executives hold confidential meetings behind privacy partitions. Celebrities vanish into near-silent cabins. The Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class are rewriting what luxury means: not the car you're seen stepping out of, but the private world you inhabit inside it. In a city where traffic consumes hours, the rear seat has become the new boardroom. Narrated by Anirban Chowdhury, this episode of the new TMB series ET Deep Dive is based on a story by Lijee Philip.

The government has just hit the ultimate political reset button, and the electoral math is ruthless. By tethering the historic 33% Women’s Reservation Bill to a sweeping 50% flat increase in parliamentary seats via the Delimitation exercise, the ruling dispensation is drawing up a radically new political map for India. But behind the necessary veil of gender parity lies a fierce geographical tug-of-war. Southern states are up in arms, bracing for a severe dilution of their political weight - effectively penalized in the legislature for their own demographic success. Meanwhile, the opposition finds itself cornered in a political masterclass: oppose the contested 2011 census-backed delimitation and risk being branded undeniably anti-women just as the electorate prepares to vote. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Nidhi sits down with ET's news correspondent Jatin Takkar and Sanjay Kumar, professor at Centre for the Study of Developing Societies to dissect it all.

Quantum computing is here — and it's reshaping the global technology order faster than most realise. India is making its boldest move yet with a dedicated National Quantum Mission backed by ₹6,000 crore. On World Quantum Day, it unveiled the world's first open-access, Made-in-India quantum ecosystem at Amaravati. Host Nidhi Sharma join CV Sridhar, Mission Director of the AP State Quantum Mission, and Prudhvi Pinnaka, Founder and CEO of Qubitech to unpack the vision behind Quantum Valley — what's being planned, what's being built, and what it could mean for India's technological future. — from solving real-world challenges to training 64,000 students.

Why do 80-95% of AI initiatives fail — and why is your organization's structure to blame? Most companies are treating AI like a software upgrade, when it actually demands a complete rewiring of how work gets done.In this episode, Melissa Reeve, author of Hyperadaptive and organizational change expert, shares a practical model for transforming legacy enterprises into AI-native organizations built to thrive — not just survive — in the age of AI. Drawing on her experience with the Toyota Production System, Scaled Agile, and deep research into leading AI adopters, Melissa argues that the real barriers to AI adoption are structural: Taylorist hierarchies, functional silos, and decision bottlenecks that organizations have never been forced to dismantle — until now. She introduces the Hyperadaptive model, a five-stage maturity path that gradually rewires how organizations operate, from establishing AI governance and identifying champions, to deploying agentic AI and organizing around customer value streams. Unlike past transformations, AI will compress both the strategy-to-execution and concept-to-delivery dimensions simultaneously — and the organizations that fail to adapt will be displaced by AI-native competitors rising far faster than Uber or Airbnb ever did.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:50) How Did Melissa's Background in Lean and Agile Lead to the Hyperadaptive Model?(00:05:57) How Is the AI Revolution Different From Past Digital Transformations?(00:07:39) Will AI-Native Companies Disrupt Incumbents the Way Airbnb and Uber Did?(00:09:08) How Did the DevOps Model Inspire the Concept of Automated Execution Pipelines?(00:12:41) What Is a Hyperadaptive Organization?(00:14:10) Why Has AI Adoption Failed to Deliver Results in Most Organizations?(00:17:05) What Are the Three Structural Barriers to AI Adoption?(00:19:39) Why Is Taylorism Considered a Major Barrier to Becoming Hyperadaptive?(00:22:48) What Are the Five Capabilities Required to Become Hyperadaptive?(00:26:45) Why Does AI Make Age-Old Principles Like Lean and Agile More Relevant Than Ever?(00:28:49) How Will the Human-in-the-Loop Role Evolve as Agentic AI Takes Over?(00:32:52) How Should Organizations Start Transitioning from Functional Silos to Value Streams?(00:35:07) How Is AI Enabling Adjacent Competencies and Expanding Professional Roles?(00:38:43) Will AI Replace Workers or Unlock More of What Organizations Can Achieve?(00:41:52) What Are the Five Stages of Maturity for Becoming Hyperadaptive?(00:48:21) Why Do Most AI Implementations Fail When Organizations Skip the Foundation?(00:50:55) What Does Dynamic AI Governance Look Like in Practice?(00:55:20) How Does Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow Explain the Human-AI Partnership?(00:58:07) How Can AI Help Organizations Optimize for People, Profit, and Planet?(01:00:24) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Melissa Reeve's BioMelissa Reeve creator of the Hyperadaptive Model and author of Hyperdaptive: Re-wiring the Enterprise to Become AI-Native.

"Don't be afraid to say I don't know. - Will Ritter"  Corrosion is expensive, relentless, and easy to underestimate—until a "lasagna battery" turns aluminum foil green and reminds you what electrochemistry can do in the real world. This conversation reframes corrosion coupons as what they actually are: a repeatable field test that can sharpen your decisions—if you treat the process with consistency.  Respect the coupon, protect the data  Trace breaks down why coupons became non-negotiable in his systems: they turn guesswork into usable corrosion-rate intelligence. Will Ritter of MetaSpec (formerly Pacific Sensor) explains the fundamentals—pre-weighed coupons, exposure time, cleaning, and calculating corrosion rate in MPY (mils per year). The point isn't that the coupon is your pipe; it's that the coupon becomes a reliable, relative gauge over time when variables are controlled.  The "five things" that make results repeatable  Will outlines practical failure points that quietly ruin comparisons quarter to quarter: alloy selection (and staying consistent), surface area (and what happens when hardware covers the coupon), surface finish (including why scratches and pits matter), weight accuracy (and why kitchen/postage scales don't belong in the workflow), and protective VCI packaging that prevents premature corrosion in storage and transit.  Brand building, trade shows, and getting comfortable saying "I don't know"  Will shares his path from Pacific Sensor to MetaSpec and what it looks like to merge brands intentionally heading into 2026. The discussion also moves into trade show presence and digital marketing, plus a simple confidence framework: get comfortable saying "I don't know, but I can find out," and build communication reps—he points to Toastmasters as a low-stakes way to do that.  Listen to the full conversation above.

John and Craig ask, are screenwriters just oral storytellers who happen to write things down? They compare the literate and oral markers of the medium, how it separates screenplays from other literary forms, and consider whether screenplays are just one long pitch. We also look at the upcoming WGA member meetings, follow up on having enough time in the edit bay, Steve Jobs, Eva Victor, justifiable Dad pride, and answer listener questions on deliverables and what makes a script "undeniable." In our bonus segment for premium members, we look at the incredible slate of upcoming movies and make predictions for the 2026 box office.

There are wild changes in the oil and gas markets right now. Michael Tanner and Stu Turley cover the Iranian Revolution, key points about Venezuela, and the shift in markets following the US decision to allow the sale of Venezuelan oil on the open market. This has a second-order effect on the U.S. Dollar: the control of the oil markets and the question of whether China will buy oil from the US at market prices rather than the old Dark Fleet-reduced prices.Don't forget that Energy Security starts at home, but Energy Dominance comes from Exports. And now, Energy Dominance can come from controlling export markets. We have to wonder how OPEC and OPEC+ will respond as we are facing some of the most significant changes in the oil and gas markets we have seen in decades.1. The potential impact of the ongoing revolution in Iran on global oil markets and prices. The hosts discuss how a disruption in Iran's oil exports could lead to a spike in oil prices, potentially up to $80 per barrel in the short term.2. The executive order signed by President Trump to safeguard Venezuela's oil revenues for the benefit of the U.S. and Venezuela. The hosts discuss the key provisions of the order and the reactions from oil executives.3. China's evolving oil and gas production and import trends, and how this could impact global energy markets, particularly with the upcoming Siberia 2 pipeline that will supply more Russian gas to China.4. The potential political implications of high energy prices in the U.S. and how this could impact the upcoming midterm elections, with the hosts discussing a report on how Republican policies could be more favorable for energy affordability.1.How Will a Revolution in Iran Impact the Global Oil Markets? Could Iraq potentially also be an influence?2.President Trump Signs Executive Order on Venezuelan Oil: Safeguarding Revenues for American and Venezuelan Benefit3.Don't Count the U.S. Dollar Out Yet: Venezuela Was the Key4.China's Oil and Gas Drilling Program Improvements Are Now Capable of Impacting Markets5.DAVID BLACKMON: New Study Shows How GOP Can Win On Affordability Issue6: 2026 Rig Count Starts Out on a Down NoteCheck out The Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Time Stamps:00:19 Iran's revolution02:33 Michael disagrees with the impact on oil04:15 Venezuela and the impact on the oil markets11:46 Key Market insights with the US Dollar being traded14:56 China's internal oil and gas production18:12 Energy Security starts at home

Hey friends! I am SO excited to share this episode with you! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Will R Young—he's a behavioral finance expert, a practicing stoic philosopher, and the author of “The Enough Equation.”  in today's episode, we deep into the big, juicy question: What if the real secret to a meaningful life isn't having more, but needing less? Will and I explored how chasing “more” can actually leave us feeling less present and less joyful, and how embracing “enough” can open the door to freedom, peace, and genuine happiness. In this episode, you'll hear: How Will blends behavioral finance with stoic wisdom (and why it's not all about the money!) The wild stories that shaped his view on what really matters (spoiler: it's not fancy cars or big houses) My own reflections on how experiences and relationships light me up way more than stuff ever could Practical tips for resisting the “more, more, more!” trap and focusing on what truly fills your cup Will's favorite rituals and routines for staying grounded (and how I'm totally stealing some of them!) Why generosity, adventure, and a little bit of travel hacking can make life so much richer Plus, Will shares his secrets for using points and miles to travel first class (seriously, I'm taking notes!), and we talk about how redefining success around sufficiency could change not just our lives, but our whole culture. If you've ever wondered what “enough” really means for you—or just want to hear two people get super jazzed about living with intention and joy—this episode is for you!

Any parent who's raised a teenager has likely faced an emotional meltdown that seemed to come out of nowhere, and been left scratching their head trying to understand it. This week on The Redeemed Man podcast, pastor and mental health advocate Will Hutcherson joins us to shed light on the mental health struggles facing today's teens. Drawing from extensive research, Will breaks down the science behind teenage angst in a way that's both practical and relatable, equipping dads with tools to better understand and connect with their kids. In a world dominated by high tech and high stress, Will reminds us that what today's teenagers need most is to feel seen, and that offering validation doesn't mean you're raising your kids to be “soft.” You're raising them to be secure and resilient.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro1:03 How Will found his calling in ministry and mental health5:10 Understanding the real science behind teen angst16:26 How can dads help their kids feel seen and secure?26:54 Meeting your kids where they are isn't going to make them “soft”32:38 The guardrails Will has learned to apply to his own life42:13 The right ways to build a healthy, constructive family culture49:34 Helping the next generation even if you don't have kids of your ownVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

Wealthion continues its August Silver Interview Series with The Market Sniper, Francis Hunt. His message is clear: silver's time is here. In this powerful conversation with Wealthion's Trey Reik, Hunt warns that the global debt crisis is spiraling into a full reset, but also explains why silver may be on the verge of its most important breakout in decades. He shows how silver could soon slingshot past $40, break through $50, and race toward triple-digit territory, all driven by fiat debasement, surging industrial demand, and tightening supply. Francis doesn't just share his views, he walks us through his technical and chart analysis on screen, breaking down silver, gold, the U.S. Dollar, and more in detail. His analysis reveals both the short-term risks of pullbacks and the long-term explosive potential for precious metals.
