Podcasts about Inflation

Hari Krishnan joins Niels and Cem for a deep exploration of what happens when markets become dominated by flows rather than fundamentals. Drawing on his new paper with Mike Green and Stefan Sturm, Hari explains why rising passive ownership may weaken price discovery, amplify concentration in mega-cap stocks and create conditions for reflexive instability. The conversation expands far beyond indexing, touching on volatility targeting, leverage, dispersion, inflation, government intervention and the growing dependence of the global economy on rising asset prices. Along the way, Cem and Hari debate whether policymakers can continue stabilizing an increasingly fragile system, what could trigger a structural break, and how investors should think about positioning in a world where flows may matter more than fundamentals.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow Hari on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Hari warns about a fragile financial system dependent on a handful of decision-makers01:06 - Niels introduces Hari's new paper with Mike Green and Stefan Sturm03:00 - Why passive investing may weaken the link between fundamentals and prices08:40 - The key assumptions behind the model12:49 - How passive adoption accelerated structural market changes15:11 - Cem explains why markets may now drive the economy rather than reflect it23:38 - Can policymakers control a complex financial system?27:03 - How passive flows amplify mega-cap concentration31:22 - The changing role of dispersion, volatility and positioning41:04 - What the model suggests about instability at high passive ownership levels46:21 - Why 2022 may have been a warning sign51:55 - Inflation, government intervention and the limits of market control55:33 - What could trigger a systemic break?01:07:28 - Political and demographic pressures beneath the system01:10:43 - Hari's portfolio implications: stay long, hedge smartly and own inflation sensitivityCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

K-Pop is in a unique situation. The genre “feels” like it's everywhere. BTS, Blackpink, Stray Kids, and KPop **Demon Hunters have topped Billboard and Netflix charts. But recent data shows that roughly 2% of global streams are from K-Pop, and the genre is and trending down. We are joined by Will Page, former Chief Economist at Spotify and author of Pivot. He released a new report on Music Business Worldwide in collaboration with Jeongbeom ‘JB' Kim, Chief Data Officer at the Korean-based KreatorsNetwork. We discussed how K-Pop's demand is centralized at the top, why even a phenomenon like KPop Demon Hunters didn't lift the rest of the genre, and what Western labels keep getting wrong when they try to copy the model.

In Episode 302 of Remarkable Retail, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc sit down with Eric Sadi, Co-President, North America at Simon Property Group, for a long-overdue conversation on what the modern mall has actually become—and why the obituaries keep aging badly. Eric walks through Simon's reimagination strategy: replacing tired anchor boxes with mixed-use destinations that braid together dining, entertainment, fitness, hospitality, and even residential living. He explains why occupancy at the top of the portfolio sits above 96%, why rents and tenant sales keep climbing, and why human connection, discovery, and community still drive the consumer behaviour the algorithms can't replicate. The "third place" isn't a slogan—it's a deliberate redesign of what a shopping centre is for. The conversation also takes on the most misunderstood narrative in retail: why Walmart, Target, Apple, and a new generation of experiential brands keep pouring billions into stores when so much of the growth lives online. The short answer? Stores aren't just sales channels anymore. They're infrastructure, media, and community. The "stores are dying" story is one of the laziest media frames in the business, and Steve and Michael take it apart. Before the interview, the hosts unpack a packed news week: renewed inflation worries as fuel, transportation, and food costs climb again, and what that means for retailer margins; standout earnings from some of the most remarkable performers in the business, including Simon's continued strength, On Running's expanding margins and rising cultural heat, and The RealReal's case that luxury resale is one of the fastest-growing corners of fashion. They also weigh in on GameStop's bid for eBay—and eBay's flat rejection—a strong candidate for dumbest story of the year. Plus Amazon's latest AI moves and what they signal about where the platform wars are headed. The episode closes with Steve wondering whether rising fuel costs will drive more online sales and Michael's specialty grocery discoveries in Los Angeles: Laurel Supply, Gonzalez Northgate Market, and the much-anticipated arrival of T&T.

Cerebras just had one of the biggest tech IPO debuts in years. The AI chip company listed at $185, opened at $350, and closed up 68% at $311 — giving it a roughly $95 billion valuation and making it the largest U.S. tech IPO since Uber. The AI hardware window is officially open, and the market is now treating non-NVIDIA AI infrastructure as a real public-market category. Anthropic is now sitting at the center of the AI compute economy. After locking in massive infrastructure deals with Google, AWS, and SpaceX-linked compute, the company is also expanding Claude access, rate limits, and deployment through partnerships like its new $200 million Gates Foundation deal across global health, education, and agriculture. The model lab is no longer just competing on chatbot quality — it is becoming an infrastructure-scale AI institution. Cisco shocked the market with a major AI infrastructure guide. Revenue hit $15.84 billion, AI infrastructure orders were lifted from $5 billion to $9 billion for fiscal 2026, and the stock jumped 15%. The same day, Cisco cut 4,000 jobs to fund the pivot. The AI capex boom is no longer just NVIDIA — it is spreading into networking, optics, security, and the second layer of the infrastructure stack. The Trump-Xi Beijing summit ended without a formal AI deal. The U.S. cleared major Chinese companies including Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, JD, and Lenovo to buy up to 75,000 NVIDIA H200 chips each, but Beijing paused the orders almost immediately. AI infrastructure is no longer just a company-level decision — it is now a geopolitical bargaining chip. Google disclosed the first confirmed AI-built zero-day exploit used in the wild. The attack targeted a two-factor authentication flow in a widely used open-source system administration tool, and Google says the planned mass exploitation event was stopped before it scaled. The cybersecurity impact of AI is no longer theoretical — AI is now accelerating both offense and defense. Inflation came in hot again. April CPI rose 0.6% month over month, the Fed held rates at 3.50%–3.75%, and markets are now pricing a higher chance of a rate hike than a cut. And yet the S&P 500 still closed above 7,500, while the Nasdaq and Dow also hit major levels. The AI trade is overpowering the macro signal — for now. Runner-up: VoltaGrid raised $1 billion from Blackstone and Halliburton at a $10 billion-plus valuation to build behind-the-meter power systems for AI data centers. Power, not just chips, is becoming one of the biggest constraints in the AI boom. Runner-up: Amazon is reportedly preparing another 14,000 corporate layoffs, which would bring 2026 reductions to roughly 30,000 jobs if confirmed. The AI labor reduction cycle is widening across Big Tech. Runner-up: A former Google engineer was convicted of stealing TPU trade secrets after transferring more than 500 confidential files tied to Google's AI chip architecture and software stack. It is one of the clearest legal templates yet for AI-era intellectual property enforcement.

In this episode, Scott Becker breaks down the market selloff, rising inflation concerns tied to deficit spending and oil prices, and more.

Inflation may have sunk the Democratic Party at the ballot box in 2024. But high prices at the grocery store and the gas station are now a problem for the GOP. According to the Labor Department, consumer prices in April saw their biggest year-over-year jump in three years and gasoline prices were up 28% from a year earlier. For our special What's News series The Cost-of-Living Election, WSJ national politics reporter Sabrina Siddiqui met with voters and congressional candidates in and around Allentown, Pa., to uncover what stubborn inflation could mean for the area's primary election this Tuesday. She then speaks with the sitting congressman for Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district, Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, about what he's doing to address the rising cost of living.

In this episode we answer emails from Geraldo, Rock, Ute.  We discuss how to give well, shifting from big-name school donations to smaller charities with immediate impact, moving from individual stocks to a Golden Butterfly style portfolio with less stress, treating Roth conversions as optional and highly personal rather than automatic, using a conservative Interactive Brokers margin loan as a temporary cash buffer, lowering margin-call risk with diversification and alternatives, and pressure-testing inflation claims for retirees and comparing U.S. data with and older study from The Netherlands.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterWCI Podcast Episode re Charitable Giving with Rebecca Herbst:  How to Maximize the Impact of Your Charitable Giving - WCI Podcast #470Referenced Inflation Study Paper:  S1474747216000202jra 85..109J.P Morgan Inflation Study:  JP_Morgan_White_Paper_Three_Retirement_Spending_Surprises.pdf - Google DriveRAND Inflation Study:  Spending Trajectories After Age 65: Variation by Initial Wealth | RANDBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:You can be “right” about taxes and still be wrong about living. We dig into three listener emails that expose a common trap for smart investors: turning retirement into an endless optimization project, while the real goal is a calmer portfolio, a sustainable withdrawal plan, and a life you actually want to spend money on.First, we walk through a practical way to transition from individual stocks to a Golden Butterfly portfolio without getting paralyzed by detail. We talk about why macro allocation matters more than the exact ticker list, how to think about growth vs value exposure, and why simplifying inside retirement accounts is usually easier than in taxable accounts where capital gains can bite. We also share what we'd try to eliminate first when someone is de-risking for retirement.Next, we zoom out to retirement tax planning and charitable giving. We discuss why blanket advice on Roth conversion strategy and withdrawal order often fails, what it means to “disgorge” traditional IRAs before RMD age, and how qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) can be a quietly powerful tool for charitably inclined retirees.Then we tackle margin as a tool, not a lifestyle. We break down using a conservative Interactive Brokers margin backstop, how diversification can reduce drawdowns and margin-call risk, and why assets like Treasuries, gold, and managed futures show up again in risk parity style thinking. We also address a listener challenge on retiree inflation and why country, data vintage, and healthcare systems can flip the conclusion.If you like clear portfolio mechanics with real-world tradeoffs, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more DIY investors can find us.Support the show

The generic ballot still shows a six-point Democratic advantage. Since early last year, Democrats have outperformed Kamala Harris's 2024 numbers by 13 to 15 points across 32 special elections. Republican enthusiasm is low, the party is divided, and Donald Trump is not on the ballot this fall. Trump's approval on the economy, inflation, and immigration is worse than Joe Biden's numbers were at their lowest. The Iran war is historically unpopular, and with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, the worst economic pain — including potentially $10-per-gallon gas in California — has not yet hit. Eighty percent of Americans, in a strongly bipartisan poll, blame Trump and the Iran war for rising prices. That economic pain is expected to peak right before the midterms. On the gerrymandering front, Texas redrew its map to gain seats — but three of those new districts are heavily Hispanic and Latino, populations that shifted toward Trump in 2024. Those gains may evaporate, potentially turning into Democratic pickups. Hawk also speaks honestly about the racial dimension of these court decisions, reflecting on the experience of Black Americans who are not surprised by any of this — and what it means that the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights era has effectively been dismantled, rendering the votes of 26 million Black Americans in the South nearly meaningless.

In Episode 189 of The Investor Professor Podcast, we reflect on graduation season and celebrate the Class of 2026 while sharing lessons on mentorship, consistency, and personal growth. From heartfelt commencement moments to the lasting impact great teachers and mentors can have, this episode highlights the importance of investing not only in markets, but also in people. We discuss the emotions that come with watching students step into the next chapter of life and why long-term relationships and guidance matter far beyond the classroom.We also take a deep dive into today's market environment, where AI, semiconductor, and data center infrastructure stocks continue to surge higher despite growing macroeconomic concerns. We break down the momentum behind companies like NVIDIA, AMD, Micron, and Vertiv while discussing inflation pressures, rising oil prices, Treasury yields, Federal Reserve uncertainty, and the transition from Jerome Powell to Kevin Warsh. This episode focuses heavily on discipline, trimming oversized winners, trading around positions, and understanding the risks that come with parabolic market moves. If you're trying to navigate today's AI-driven market while avoiding the emotional mistakes investors often make late in rallies, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

Inflation figures came out this week and they were absolutely brutal. April CPI was startling enough, but the Producer Price Index (PPI), which is an indicator of inflation in the pipeline was shocking. Oil reserves are running down to dangerously low levels and it’s clear now that there’s no immediate resolution to the oil crisis, so we’re about to realize our worst economic fears. We take a look back at our predictions from nine months ago to see how accurate they are and to build on them for what comes next. Against the backdrop of this horrible inflation data, we have a new sheriff in town at the Federal Reserve. The man whose job it is to theoretically tame inflation has no tools in the box to deal with this level of crisis. The real question is whether he ever intended to.

May 15, 2026 – Jim Welsh at Macro Tides highlights that massive AI spending by tech giants is currently driving GDP growth and boosting the stock market, but this growth is highly concentrated in a few sectors, especially semiconductors, making the market...

In this episode, Simon and Daniel break down the growing macro risks facing Canada and the U.S., starting with the recent oil shock and what it could mean for inflation, consumer spending, and central bank policy. They discuss why Canada’s energy infrastructure is back in focus, including potential federal support for a new Alberta-to-West Coast pipeline, the bigger debate around a West-to-East pipeline, and why energy security could become a much larger political and economic issue. They also look at the latest U.S. CPI and PPI data, the relationship between producer prices and future inflation, and how central banks may respond if higher energy prices start flowing through the economy. The conversation then shifts to the sharp rally in semiconductor stocks, massive AI-related capex from the mega-cap tech companies, and whether markets are starting to show signs of excess. The episode wraps up with a discussion on privatizing Canadian infrastructure assets like airports and ports, rising U.S. Treasury yields, Canadian consumer debt, and why the current economy feels increasingly K-shaped.

Frank Mottek wraps up a wild week in the markets, with stocks pulling back from record highs. The S&P 500 took a hit, down 537 points, as oil prices surged and inflation concerns rose. But amidst the chaos, there were some bright spots, including a big win for AI stocks, with Cisco and Microsoft leading the charge.

Everyone is talking about the Trump-Xi summit as if this is going to be some decisive turning point for China, global trade, maybe even the whole world economy. And, sure, politically, it's a huge deal. Markets love the idea of the two leaders in the same room because everyone wants to believe a handshake can undo tariffs, trade wars, supply chain chaos, and years of deteriorating relations.But the latest bank lending data out of China says something VERY different. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Radar, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz break down the recent inflation print, Trump's visit to China, and Kevin Warsh becoming Fed chair.---

The Left is attacking Donald Trump over comments about gas prices and Iran, but Tara says the real story is much bigger. This episode dives into inflation, Biden-era spending, Rubio's defense of Trump's Iran strategy, and the growing alliance between China and Iran that could reshape global power. Plus, why Tara believes the world is watching a dangerous geopolitical chess match unfold in real time. PODCAST SUMMARY The political and economic battle over inflation, energy prices, and Iran reached a boiling point after Donald Trump's remarks about prioritizing stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons over short-term political pressure sparked backlash from the Left. Tara argues the comments were aimed directly at Iran's leadership and not American voters, while defending Trump's economic record and contrasting it with the inflation surge during the Biden administration. The episode examines Democrat messaging around inflation and government spending, including references to past comments from Congressman Jim Clyburn about rising prices during large-scale federal spending programs. Tara argues Americans are seeing financial recovery through wage growth, tax relief, and energy policy shifts tied to Trump-era economic priorities. The conversation then expands into a broader geopolitical analysis involving Iran, China, oil markets, and nuclear strategy. Tara explains her theory of “ChIran,” describing what she views as a deeply integrated alliance between Beijing and Tehran involving energy infrastructure, surveillance technology, and military cooperation. She also discusses concerns about Chinese influence over Iranian systems and the strategic implications of Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz with nuclear capabilities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's defense of Trump's position becomes a centerpiece of the discussion, with Tara arguing that the administration is attempting to prevent Iran from using oil prices and global energy markets as leverage against the United States. The show closes with escalating rhetoric surrounding Israel, Iran, and growing fears of wider regional conflict.

Trump's China Gamble EPISODE DESCRIPTION President Trump's summit with Xi Jinping sparks outrage after praising China, defending Chinese students, and downplaying concerns over Chinese-owned farmland near U.S. military bases. Tara and Lee break down whether Trump is playing strategic chess with China and Iran—or dangerously legitimizing America's biggest geopolitical threat. Plus: explosive allegations about South Carolina's “UniParty” machine, redistricting battles, inflation fallout, and why conservatives are sounding the alarm over Democrat-backed Republicans in the Palmetto State. HOOK Trump says China is “great,” calls America and China the “G2,” and defends Chinese ownership of farmland near military bases. Is this master-level negotiation… or a massive political risk? KEY TOPICS Trump's controversial comments about China and Xi Jinping China's relationship with Iran and oil negotiations Behind-the-scenes security fears during Trump's Beijing summit Chinese students, farmland purchases, and espionage concerns Inflation fallout from Biden-era spending policies Marco Rubio on Iran, oil prices, and nuclear threats “Chiran” theory: China's influence over Iran South Carolina redistricting battle and GOP civil war David Pascoe controversy and “UniParty” accusations Lindsey Graham, Henry McMaster, and open primary criticism MAIN SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — Trump's China Comments Spark Conservative Backlash Trump stunned conservatives during his Sean Hannity interview by praising China, defending Chinese students studying in America, and downplaying fears over Chinese ownership of farmland near U.S. military bases. Tara and Lee debate whether Trump is simply negotiating publicly while privately recognizing China as America's top adversary. SEGMENT 2 — The Secret Side of the Beijing Summit Despite Trump's warm public rhetoric, reports reveal White House staff discarded all Chinese-issued devices, credentials, and materials before boarding Air Force One. Staff reportedly used burner phones and avoided bringing personal devices into Chinese airspace, revealing deep distrust behind the scenes. SEGMENT 3 — Oil, Iran, and Trump's Economic Chess Match The hosts explore Trump's reported effort to replace China's Iranian oil imports with American energy exports. They argue the strategy could weaken both Iran and Russia while forcing China to pay full market price for oil instead of relying on discounted sanctioned crude. SEGMENT 4 — Inflation, Iran, and Rubio's Defense Democrats attack Trump over gas prices and his comments about ignoring Americans' financial concerns during negotiations with Iran. Marco Rubio pushes back, arguing Trump is signaling strength to Tehran and refusing to allow energy prices to become leverage in nuclear talks. SEGMENT 5 — “Chiran”: China's Grip on Iran Tara outlines the theory that China effectively controls Iran's infrastructure, surveillance systems, and energy strategy. The discussion connects Chinese investment in Iran's nuclear and digital infrastructure to broader concerns about authoritarian expansion and global energy dominance. SEGMENT 6 — South Carolina's GOP Civil War The conversation shifts to South Carolina politics, where Tara accuses establishment Republicans of operating as Democrats within the GOP. The hosts blast open primaries, criticize Lindsey Graham and Henry McMaster, and warn conservatives about attorney general candidate David Pascoe. SOUND BITES “Trump's talking to the enemy, not the voters.” “Publicly they smiled. Privately they swept the plane for bugs.” “China doesn't want partnership. China wants leverage.” “You don't bring burner phones unless you know the threat is real.” “This is economic warfare disguised as diplomacy.” “The UniParty machine is panicking in South Carolina.” SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER Trump praises China. Conservatives erupt. Behind the scenes? White House staff reportedly used burner phones, dumped Chinese-issued devices, and treated Beijing like ho ...

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a strong week as the S&P 500 pushed to new highs, led by mega-cap tech and semiconductor stocks tied to AI momentum. Geopolitical tensions remained contained, shifting focus to U.S.–China talks and trade implications. Inflation data skewed hotter on the producer side, driving a sharp repricing of Fed hike expectations alongside a leadership transition. Despite headline gains, market breadth weakened, with equal-weight indices and smaller caps lagging. Looking ahead, investors focus on Nvidia earnings, retail reports, and key economic data to assess whether the rally can broaden.

On our political radar this week… In between Oval Office naps, his costly, tacky fixations on the Reflecting Pool on the National mall and his $1-billion NOW TAXPAYER FUNDED ballroom, misogyny toward female reporters, rage posting on Truth Social, his bizarre, constant bragging about his regularly scheduled dementia tests, and stuffing his pockets full of payola from domestic and foreign tycoons and potentates, Donald Trump did Democrats a huge favor – voicing a soon-to-be Democratic campaign commercials in every competitive state and district across the fruited plain proclaiming “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody…” © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com New polling, paid for by the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, shows the Chamber's endorsed candidate for Governor with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson taking the lead. The same poll says it's a virtual three-way tie for the Democrats' U.S. Senate nomination. A second poll, paid for by MIRS News, shows Benson's lead growing to 12 points. The two leading Republican candidates for Governor are engaged in a reprise of the sad GOP song of 4 years ago … problems with nominating petition signatures. But John James and Perry “Quality Guru” Johnson aren't the only Republicans with unplanned campaign hiccups. First district Congressman Jack Bergman faces a possible ethics violation over extracurricular moneymaking efforts by his congressional staff. And US Senate candidate Mike Rogers has some unseemly ties to child sex predators. In the Macomb County based 10th district, GOP candidate Robert Luljguraj is accused of lying about where he lives on his state paperwork. It all adds up to some interesting times at the State Elections Bureau.  In this week's chapter of Trump's Perpetual Grifting, it's looking like the highly promoted but non-existent Trump phone ain't gonna happen. The 600,000 true believers who put down deposits of $100 seem unlikely to get their money back … but in the meantime, the Huckster Trumps have fleeced  $60-million from the rubes. Also new on the Trump Perpetual Grifting beat: – The BBC reports that Trump is selling sponsorships of his oh-so-tacky UFC match at the White House for up to $1.5 million. No word on who gets the money, but it isn't hard to guess. –The Wall Street Journal revealed that Trump is considering issuing 250 pardons in conjunction with the USA 250 celebration. So far, no pardon prices have been announced. –He's being sued in Florida for plans to have a for-profit hotel inside his Presidential museum … on land given him by the state that's worth around $67-million. –Construction of the above-ground portion of his ballroom is underway in direct violation of a court order, and –Preliminary work has begun on his Arch De' TACO, er Trump … without legally required authorization. Inflation has soared to its highest level in 3 years and shows every sign of climbing higher and higher. Trump's response, as usual, is to promise that things will get lots better … later. In “about two weeks.” The “good news, bad news”: 81-year-old Rudy Giuliani has recovered from the pneumonia that sent him to the ICU last week, and we're happy that he's apparently survived the medical crisis. The bad news: he's resumed his podcast. A Republic, If You Can Keep It is sponsored in part by

Core PPI tripled expectations at 1.0%, an annualized 12.5% rate. The CPI the day before showed 0.6% monthly with year-over-year inflation climbing to 3.8%. The 30-year Treasury yield broke above 5% for the first time in 19 years, with a bond auction requiring a 5% coupon — but unlike 2007 when the debt was $9 trillion, today it's $39 trillion.Peter Schiff argues real interest rates are crashing even as nominal rates rise, making the environment extremely bullish for gold and silver — with silver hitting $89 intraday and leading gold for the first time this cycle. He highlights CNBC analysts recommending viewers sell gold stocks as a perfect contrarian buy signal, dismantles Trump's proposed ban on corporations buying homes as socialist policy, defends Jeff Bezos against critics who blame him rather than consumers for disrupting small businesses, endorses Thomas Massie's congressional primary fight, and promotes his new 10-minute FOIA evidence video exposing the IRS conspiracy to destroy Euro Pacific Bank.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open Montage00:55 Show Begins Tech Issues01:27 New Fed Chair Firestorm03:26 CPI Breakdown April05:24 PPI Shock And Stagflation07:59 Trump Inflation And Politics09:43 Bond Yields Debt Trap13:20 Fed QE Dilemma15:39 Ad Break NetSuite AI17:01 Markets Misread Inflation18:38 Real Rates Gold Silver23:12 Metals Boom Copper Oil24:51 Tariffs Beef And Constitution29:09 Ad Break Outskill AI31:42 Stocks Ignore Inflation Bubble32:18 Bubble Mentality Critique33:10 CNBC Chart Pattern Trap34:30 Gold Stocks Contrarian Buy35:38 Mining Stocks vs AI Hype36:15 Trump Housing Ban Backlash37:46 Why Rentals Need Investors39:19 Backing Thomas Massie42:25 Trump Grip on GOP43:08 Trump China Summit Skepticism45:05 Defending Bezos and Amazon46:20 Consumers Drive Competition49:07 Living Wage Reality Check53:35 Rigged Playing Field Factors55:31 Puerto Rico Inventory Tax57:36 FOIA Bank Conspiracy Video59:05 Demanding Government Accountability01:00:35 Wrap Up and Next PlansFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #Inflation #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
