Trump Learned the Bitter Lesson of 2020: Don't Let the Rioters Win Find the article at- https://stream.org/trump-learned-the-bitter-lesson-of-2020-dont-let-the-rioters-win/   Trump Learned the Bitter Lesson of 2020: Don't Let the Rioters Win By John Zmirak Published on June 12, 2025 As gangs of illegal aliens and radical activists attack ICE officers and now local police in the streets of Los Angeles, I'm reminded of the race riots of 2020, and the mistakes most of us made while they were happening. In case you've blotted those ugly memories from your mind, let's review what happened in the aftermath of the botched arrest of career criminal George Floyd:   The police officers involved were immediately pulled from duty, then quickly arrested and charged. The System was working. There was literally nothing to riot about, except the vague and tendentious claim that “systemic racism” was killing black Americans. The Marxist group Black Lives Matter used Floyd's accidental death as a bloody shirt to wave around, demanding (and getting) hundreds of millions of dollars from large corporations to spend however it wished (for instance, on fancy homes and salaries). Conservative pundits and churches adopted that organization's mantra and offered uncritical support — desperate to establish their “antiracist” bona fides and protect their reputations. A series of coordinated “protests” erupted across the country, demanding that governments defund the police. Over and over, these protests turned violent, devolving into riots that saw the looting of neighborhoods poor and rich alike. Our media gaslit us with reports that these events were “mostly peaceful,” even as fires lit by arsonists raged on camera in the background. In blue states like Minnesota and California, Democrat governors who were savagely enforcing COVID lockdowns allowed the rioters to run free — pulling police from the scene and refusing to use their National Guards to protect citizens and their property. This was the starkest example of anarcho-tyranny in U.S. history … until the January 6 fedsurrection, that is. People who sneered when black entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Herman Cain died of COVID after attending a Trump campaign event and insisted that in-person voting was too dangerous to be allowed defended the riots publicly from the charge that they were “superspreader events.” Their excuse? “Racism is a threat to public health.” Trump did not federalize the National Guard in those rogue states to impose law and order. Like many of his supporters, and likely the advisors who convinced him to remain inert, I reasoned, “Let the blue cities burn. We'll make sure the federal government doesn't pay to rebuild them. The Left is trying to trap Trump into overreacting by using force in the hope that civilians will suffer and he will look like the dictator they've been calling him since Election Night 2016.” I now realize Step 6 was a huge mistake, as I'm sure Trump and his team had the chance to reflect on during the four years of lawfare and chaos they all endured under The Secret Committee Formerly Known As Joe Biden.   Now, we need to analyze why this is true so we can give full-throated support to restoring the rule of law today.   Abandoning Territory to Marxist Gangs Is Wrong Donald Trump is president of the entire United States, and he works for every American. That includes law-abiding citizens in blue states and cities who might not support mayors and governors committed to flouting U.S. laws on immigration, citizenship, and public order. Trump represents the harried, hunted police who work in Los Angeles and the taxpayers forced to fund the health care, education, and even transgender treatments of millions of illegal aliens the Biden regime let in.   We're supposed to love our neighbor. At minimum that includes our fellow Americans — even those deluded enough to believe that we owe citizenship and welfare payments to foreigners who broke into our national home. Just as we shouldn't hand out free heroin to addicts and shrug at the thought that they might OD, we shouldn't hand anarchy to Californians and Minnesotans, even if it's what they say they want. “Stinks to be you” isn't a New Testament maxim.   When Moderation Looks Like Weakness, It Is Weakness Letting blue cities burn or sink in their own squalor sounds tempting. However, it's not just a crime: it's a blunder, as political philosopher Yoram Hazony points out.   The spectacle of U.S. cities roiling with chaos, falling into the hands of Leftist mobs waving foreign flags, makes America look weak and vulnerable in the eyes of its foreign enemies. Furthermore, it makes any president who presides over it seem like a wounded, crippled giant. That was true in 2020, and it's even truer today — when the riots are aimed not at some nebulous, made-up bogeyman like “systemic racism” or “whiteness,” but directly at the law enforcement policies that got Trump elected and are, rightly, very popular: mass repatriation of blatantly illegal aliens.   These riots are aimed at Trump as a leader and his voters as citizens. They are armed, organized efforts to deprive the U.S. government of its legitimate monopoly on violence in large swathes of its territory. If Trump isn't willing to take every legal, constitutional measure to crush them and punish the perpetrators, he might as well resign right now and flee with his family into exile like the former Shah of Iran. Of course, that would leave all of us under a revolutionary tyranny every bit as ugly as Iran's.   Mobs Follow the Strong and Scorn the Weak It's a sad fact of fallen human nature: A high percentage of people don't join causes or adopt opinions because of rational argumentation, or even moral sentiments. People flock to the strong and steadfast, and naturally feel contempt for those who lack the courage of their convictions.   One of the main reasons that George Washington became first a national hero, then our leader in the fight for independence, was his obvious personal fearlessness. Bullets whizzed past him, shot through his hat and even his coat, and he was unperturbed. By contrast, the rival General Horatio Gates who sought to replace Washington at the head of the Continental Army disgraced himself by fleeing a 1780 military defeat at Camden, S.C., leaving his beaten troops behind. Trump can't afford to do the same today.   Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day. Even thugs who stand for evil ideas can gather a following for their bravery. In their case, it's the gumption of bullies, and attracts other would-be bullies. But that's how warlords have triumphed all too often for millennia.   The thugs of illegal alien mobs, backed by the bullies in power in cities like Los Angeles, are counting on decent people to hide in their homes and on Trump to hide in the White House. We cannot let these lawless, unpatriotic, un-American mobs raise foreign flags over our cities. There's a word for that: It's “surrender.”   We didn't vote for a white flag, but for the man who stood tall while bleeding and shouted, “Fight, fight, fight!” -----------------------------------------------------------------------     John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or coauthor of 14 books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism.

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/], joins us for a wide-ranging discussion on the macroeconomic factors driving gold and silver, along with strategies for portfolio management in the precious metals stocks.   We start off discussing how the higher underlying metals environment has started allowing for more investor confidence in the gold producers maintaining healthy margins and valuations, which is attracting more generalist investor capital flows. Additionally, now the gold development projects economics are starting to look more and more attractive.  John discusses how he is still striking a balance between have exposure to the larger PM producers and royalty companies, but also have exposure further down the risk curve into the exploration stocks as “lottery tickets.”   This leads into a discussion about some of the developers with large resource bases delineated, like Seabridge Gold, and whether or not they will be acquired or built in this cycle; after sitting available for development since the prior cycle.  We dig in to if the reservation from other companies to acquire them is due to jurisdiction, capex requirements, or if it is simply a lack of human capital. John weighs in on what aspects he would describe as “high quality,” and the importance of limiting the amount of portfolio positions to the companies one can really do proper due diligence on.     Wrapping up we circle back to macroeconomic factors that may drive gold prices even higher.  We start of focusing in on the rising sovereign debt levels in countries all over the world, and the changes in the Basel III demarcation for gold as a Tier 1 reserve asset that more banks will be buying to gain more exposure to and diversify their asset mix.  We talk about BRICS countries continuing to reduce down US dollar exposure and mitigate potential trade wars by increasing their gold holding. Lastly we reflect on the increased retailing buying, using the example of new limits on gold purchases from Costco as another tailwind for gold, that may spill over into more sympathetic investment in silver.   https://rubino.substack.com/

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino dive into the global consequences of rising interest rates, warning that mounting government debt—especially in the U.S., Europe, and Japan—is creating a dangerous financial environment. They examine the recent U.S. credit rating downgrades as potential signs of a shift in market psychology and broader economic instability. The conversation explores how high bond yields impact gold and silver investments, the cyclical nature of market dynamics, and the fragile alliance between China and Russia. They also touch on leadership risks, potential civil unrest, and wrap up with a call for simpler, clearer online terms of service agreements.

John Rubino ( https://rubino.substack.com/ ) returns to break down the global debt death spiral, dollar collapse risk, and why central banks are panic-buying gold. With inflation rising, trust evaporating, and the BRICS bypassing the dollar, Rubino warns: “We've entered the terminal phase.”#gold #dollar #debt ------------Thank you to our #sponsor MONEY METALS.

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/ ], joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on gold, the gold equities, silver, the silver equities, macroeconomic factors, and using volatility spreads to smooth out the extreme market moves. We once again reflect on the reasons why gold and the gold stocks have continued to outshine most other market sectors with the backdrop of macroeconomic turbulence and general market volatility.   Over the last few weeks both the US Dollar and bonds have not received a strong market bid, and it showcased gold as the only real safe haven from all the uncertainty in financial assets. John points out the continued bid from central banks under the gold price, and many retail and institutional investors rotating a portion of their capital into precious metals sector as the only  place to hide.  John highlights a recent missive from Jim Rickards postulating that gold has become an asymmetrical bet, where the downside is limited and the upside is potentially unlimited.   We then pivot over to the gold stocks, discussing whether we should have seen more of an increase in gold producers valuations, considering the record high underlying metals prices, and their fattest margins of all time. John points out that it is taking a while for generalists to notice after a few prior years where we saw inflation and inputs costs keeping pace with the increase in gold price.   The conversation spans a number of other topics like, if we'll see in influx of more merger and acquisition deals, royalty company margins, the gold:silver ratio, why he thinks silver will do better than gold over the next 3-5 years, and the increased action in junior explorers like Snowline Gold, Goliath Resources, Hannan Metal, and Sitka gold all up triple digits over the last year or two.    Wrapping up we circle back to macroeconomic and the strong potential for a recession, the Fed waiting to cut interest rates, the shift in focus from generalist investors out of sectors that work working and looking for more safety, and techniques for using options and volatility.   https://rubino.substack.com/

Tom welcomes back John Rubino, Former Wall Street Analyst, Author & Substacker for a discussion on the current economic landscape and its implications for investors. Rubino discusses the end of a credit supercycle, highlighting the risks of hyperinflation, deflation, and stagflation due to global fiat currency systems. He emphasizes the importance of real assets like gold, silver, and energy during potential financial chaos. Rubino also addresses the role of energy prices, particularly oil, in driving inflation or deflation. He suggests that lower oil prices could lead to a short-term deflationary period, followed by inflationary pressures as central banks respond with low interest rates. This creates uncertainty but opportunities for resilient investments. The discussion touches on President Trump's policies, including tariffs and reshoring, which could lead to wage inflation and geopolitical tensions. Rubino warns against the risks of negative interest rates and the potential need for a currency reset, possibly returning to a gold standard. For investors, Rubino recommends focusing on real assets such as precious metals, energy, and farmland. He suggests dollar-cost averaging in gold and silver and cautious investment in mining stocks, particularly mid-tier and explorers with growth potential. Jurisdictional risks, especially in countries like Mexico, are highlighted as critical considerations. Rubino also stresses building personal resilience through community ties, skill development, and owning productive assets.

He founded the popular financial website DollarCollapse.com in 2004 and sold it in 2022, and now publishes on Substack.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino discussed the recent significant price increases in gold and copper, both reaching all-time highs. John highlighted that gold has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past two decades, while copper's importance is growing due to its role in energy transitions and AI technologies. They noted favorable conditions for mining stocks, which are benefiting from rising metal prices and stable costs. Sandstorm Gold was mentioned as a company positioned for growth, focusing on reducing debt and increasing cash flow from higher sales. The conversation also included a cautionary note about the necessity for major mining companies to pursue mergers and acquisitions to address depleting reserves. The performance of gold, silver, the S&P 500, and tech stocks since 1999 was analyzed, revealing that gold yielded about 9% compared to the S&P 500's 5%. John explained that the liquidity injected into the economy has inflated asset prices, suggesting that some overvalued assets may be due for a crash. Historical trends indicate that tech stocks, after a period of high returns, often experience significant declines. Lutz agreed, emphasizing that even high-quality tech stocks can drop dramatically when overvalued, highlighting the need for caution among investors. John expressed optimism about gold and silver's future performance, advising investors to maintain a diverse portfolio in the mining sector and to consider cashing out during acquisitions. Lutz pointed out the mixed success of major mining companies with acquisitions, often leading to overpayment for assets. The discussion also touched on the broader economic landscape, including unprecedented government debt and spending patterns, with concerns about how this liquidity could impact financial assets, potentially leading to inflation or boosting speculative stocks. The conversation shifted to the pervasive fraud in government funding, particularly through NGOs, and the financial benefits for individuals in the political and expert classes. They critiqued the cycle of dependency and corruption that arises from large sums of money being funneled back into political campaigns. Additionally, they proposed the creation of a museum dedicated to corruption in Washington, D.C., envisioning it as both a serious proposal and a satirical commentary on political issues. The discussion concluded with a focus on the lucrative potential of selling citizenship cards, reflecting a shift in the perception of citizenship as a valuable brand.

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/ ], joins us to reflect on the reasons why gold, silver, and the precious metals stocks have continued to outshine the macroeconomic turbulence and general market volatility.   We start off discussing the strength in the overall precious metals complex, where silver and the PM stocks have followed gold higher in more an overall flight to safety.  John points out that many companies have had positive Q4 earnings reports and wide margins and that is becoming more obvious to generalist investors that scan for outperforming market segments. The conversation then shifts to which ways these gold stocks and silver stocks should attract more investors, by either returning capital to shareholders by way of dividends or share buys back, or if they should focus on growth through acquisitions and merger transactions.  John wants to see smart transactions, and not just growth for growth's sake, but feels the building cash reserves of the mining stocks will become large enough that they feel compelled to go out and purchase more mines and more ounces.   We then wrap up reviewing potential paths forward through all the macroeconomic and geopolitical friction with the Trump administration tariffs, in North America, Europe, and Asia, noting the effects on inflation expectations, the sovereign debt loads, immigration, and global trade. There are a mix of different elements creating uncertainty, and factoring into the further buying of gold by both central banks and global citizens in this current macroeconomic environment.   Click here to visit John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

John Rubino, [Substack https://rubino.substack.com/ ], joins us to break down the fundamental reasons why gold has been continuing to break higher thus far in 2025, and why he expects to see silver, and the junior gold and silver stocks have a compelling catch-up trade.   We start off discussing some of the potential implications of the policies from the new incoming Trump administration, and what it means for inflation, the deficit, consumer spending, tariffs, and global trade.  We also look at how the uncertainty around tariffs, debt, and inflation may play into Fed policy, interest rates, the US dollar, and other global fiat currencies.  There are a mix of elements factoring into the further buying of gold by both central banks and global citizens in the current macroeconomic environment.   Next we shift over to the gold equities, and how some of the larger producers have started to have a solid response and moves higher reflecting the higher underlying precious metals prices, and how this will attract more momentum buyers or those generalists filtering for earnings and revenue growth.  However, we're just starting to enter the phase where the junior gold developers and explorers may start receiving more volume and a bid in the market.   Wrapping up we shift over to the performance of the silver price, the associated fundamental drivers, and the silver stocks. John expects to see the gold:silver ratio up near 90 bring in more buying interest in both silver and the related equities, and he expects this cycle will be no different than past cycles where silver and the silver stocks eventually outperform gold and the gold equities respectively. John outlines why he likes both pure play silver stocks, as well as precious metals stocks with a nice balance of gold and silver; throwing in exposure to copper as another potential commodity that some companies are adding into their asset mix and project portfolios.   Click here to visit John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

John Rubino outlined the deep state's bipartisan framework, emphasizing the interplay between government roles and think tanks that often leads to ineffective outcomes. He highlighted USAID's covert operations as an extension of the CIA, funding mainstream media and actions that align with U.S. interests abroad. Rubino noted that the Trump administration's significant cuts to USAID's workforce and funding have raised concerns among deep state operatives. He described the administration's strategy of overwhelming the media with multiple controversies, which has resulted in a chaotic political environment that distracts from in-depth coverage of critical issues. Rubino and Kerry Lutz discussed the implications of USAID's funding, suggesting it could evolve into a pro-MAGA initiative while raising concerns about promoting censorship in recipient countries. They highlighted the agency's financial support for relief efforts for illegal immigrants and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the distribution of surplus mRNA vaccines abroad. Their analysis pointed to the complex relationship between foreign aid, political agendas, and governance, emphasizing the need for accountability in how funds are allocated and utilized. The current state of USAID was critiqued as a "gravy train" for political operatives rather than an effective aid organization. Lutz provided examples of substantial funding directed to NGOs, including $8 million to Bill Kristol's organization, and discussed financial mismanagement within government agencies, including potential losses in HUD. Both speakers called for increased scrutiny of government spending practices, particularly regarding the Pentagon's lack of audits, which could reveal significant fraud. Rubino and Lutz examined the volatile political landscape, expressing concerns about the effectiveness of the current administration and the perception of government as a "grift." They discussed the potential for significant political upheaval and the capabilities of the new press secretary in countering mainstream media narratives. The conversation also touched on the gold market, with Rubino attributing its rise to factors like soaring debt and low interest rates, while Lutz speculated on the future of cryptocurrencies and their potential impact on inflation and the financial landscape.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins me to provide his 2025 outlook on geopolitics, both US and global macroeconomics, along with his expectations on interest rates, the US dollar, oil, natural gas, gold, and uranium.   We start off discussing some of the potential implications of the policies from the new incoming Trump administration, and what it means for inflation, the deficit, consumer spending, tariffs, and global trade.  John points out that we really need to wait and see what policies actually get implemented versus the many ideas that have already been floated out into the media.   We also look at how this plays into Fed policy, interest rates, the US dollar, and other global fiat currencies.   Next we shift over to why gold and even the commodities sector should do well, even in the face of a strong apparent US dollar index, when viewing it through the lens of decreasing real purchasing power, and the persistent affects of inflationary forces.   This leads into a discussion on energy and the rising oil and natural gas prices, and how that will affect US markets and global markets, as well as related energy stocks.  John also outlines why he remains bullish on both uranium stocks and gold and silver stocks in the year to come, even if we see an overall equities wash out at one point.   He'll be viewing any such market sell downs as an opportunity to pick up some of the better quality resource stocks for the longer-term fundamentals he expects to unfold.   Click here to visit John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins us to discuss the recent break higher in both gold and silver, the contrasting moves within the PM mining stocks versus juniors, looking ahead to Q4 earnings, the improving margins in the gold and silver producers, and the macroeconomic trends behind inflation.   We start off discussing some of the geopolitical factors like China buying more gold as they stimulate their economy, the conflict in Syria, and parts of Europe, and how this is bringing in a steady amount of safe haven buying.  There are a number of factors underlying the robust gold and silver metals prices, and it was encouraging to see silver catching up and rallying in a bigger way to kick off this week.   Next we shift over to the precious metals mining stocks, noting the cost creep this year eating into some of the gains in the underlying metals from a margins perspective, but that over the last 3 quarters many producers did finally start seeing margin expansion and share price appreciation.  Looking ahead to Q4 earnings, we may finally see some upside surprises as costs have moderated.  This leads into a larger discussion on labor costs as a key driver of inflation both in the mining sector and across the broad economy.   Click here to visit John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino analyzed the recent election, expressing relief over the absence of civil unrest and discussing the potential for significant policy changes under Trump's leadership. They emphasized the need to address government inefficiencies and cut corporate welfare, while also highlighting the looming financial crisis driven by high government debt. Rubino suggested that the administration's approach to this crisis will be crucial for defining Trump's next term, and they explored the possibility of a currency reset and a return to a gold standard as a viable solution. The discussion also touched on the state of healthcare in the U.S., with Rubino criticizing the food and pharmaceutical industries for contributing to poor health outcomes and advocating for scientific investigation into rising health issues. The conversation shifted to social media dynamics, with Lutz noting Elon Musk's impact on Twitter's ideological balance and Rubino mentioning the rise of Blue Sky amidst censorship challenges. They discussed the implications of Trump's political influence on social media moderation and the potential revival of the impoundment power to selectively withhold federal spending. Lutz and Rubino also explored the relationship between diet, exercise, and healthcare costs, advocating for a focus on preventive measures and nutrition education to improve public health. They concluded by discussing Trump's monetary strategies, suggesting that a shift in approach could stabilize the dollar and prevent its weaponization, while Lutz announced his upcoming book on Martin Armstrong's insights and their platform's growth ambitions.

Tom welcomes back John Rubino, former Wall Street analyst, author and Substacker https://rubino.substack.com for a discussion on the gold mining industry's recent trends during the third quarter earnings reports. Despite the increase in gold prices, mining stocks have underperformed due to factors like rising costs and geopolitical risks. However, strong earning reports from top companies are attracting momentum investors, potentially triggering a bull market for precious metals. John emphasizes the importance of investing psychology and buying undervalued assets during bear markets. He also discusses the cyclicality of mining sector, potential acquisitions following strong earnings, and the significance of both fundamental setups and technical indicators when considering gold and silver investments. Additionally, Russia's decision to buy silver for its strategic reserve fund is affecting the silver market by tightening supply and increasing upward pressure on prices. Despite economic uncertainties, investors are encouraged to seek opportunities in this environment.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins me to discuss the fundamental factors behind physical silver, a few recent silver and gold takeover deals, nuances around M&A transactions for consideration, and speculation on which companies could be bought next.   We start off discussing the news out last week that Russia is adding silver to the metals it will be purchasing in its state precious metals fund, where previously it had only been buying gold, platinum, and palladium. There has also been an increase in silver buying from India, China, and other countries in Asia as an alternative to gold for wedding seasons and gifting, due to the price differential. Also, China also has steadily been buying silver for supplying its growing solar panel industry.   We review that many precious metals producers are quite cashed up, and while we saw very nice margins on their Q2 earnings reports; many market watchers are waiting see the numbers come in on both gold and silver producers Q3 earnings, to see if all their margin expansion will start tracking with generalist investors that filter companies for earnings momentum. Additionally, this may start fueling more of the senior and mid-producers to deploy this cash or their higher-valued paper to begin a bigger wave of merger and acquisition transactions.    We unpack the 2 latest high-profile larger premium silver M&A deals, with the acquisition of Gatos Silver (TSX: GATO) (NYSE: GATO) by First Majestic Silver (TSX: AG) (NYSE: AG), and SilverCrest Metals (TSX: SIL) (NYSE American: SILV) getting bought out by Coeur Mining (NYSE: CDE). This then morphed into a larger discussion on nuances around merger and acquisition transactions, what John looks for in companies that could be acquired. He shares his outlook for more transactions in the smaller producers, developers, advanced explorers, and also royalty companies.    This leads to comments about the recent takeover of  Osisko Mining (TSX:OSK) by Gold Fields old Fields Limited (JSE: GFI) (NYSE: GFI)  for their gold development project in Canada, and  Filo Corp (TSX: FIL) (OTCQX: FLMMF) by both BHP (NYSE: BHP) and Lundin Mining (TSX: LUN) for their large copper project in Chile and Argentina, and if we'll see more development-stage projects acquired by producers in the near-term.  We both offer up speculations in which developers could be next, with our rationale for both Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE) and Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV) (OTCQX: DOLLF) as potential takeover candidates.   Wrapping up, John outlines why he is less concerned with a specific exit strategy or operational outcome, and why he is more concerned about seeking 10-bagger returns.   * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder Silvercrest Metals, Coeur Mining, Skeena Resources, and Dolly Varden Silver at the time of this recording.   Click here to visit John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino discussed the implications of open borders and immigration, the potential for societal upheaval, and the lessons to be learned from Europe's demographic challenges. They expressed concerns about the importation of criminals and the need for proactive measures to manage illegal immigration while recognizing the contributions of hardworking immigrants. The conversation also covered the accomplishments of President Biden, the rising threat of nuclear conflict, and the actions of the global elite. The dialogue explored the decline of traditional talk radio in favor of podcasts and alternative platforms, raising concerns about privacy and free speech in light of recent arrests related to messaging apps. Lutz and Rubino speculated on the potential actions of the Trump administration regarding political revenge and the weaponization of government agencies, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to governance. They reflected on their shift from finance to the influence of politics on investments, highlighting the straightforward nature of investing in gold and silver during turbulent times.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins us to discuss the fundamental factors behind the resilience of gold, the disconnect in gold stocks from the metals price action, the strengths of the royalty companies business model, and why he is even opting for accumulating various physical metals ETFs across various commodities.   John points out that gold has been holding up well all summer and into September, despite what is seasonally a weaker period of time for the precious metals.  He reviews that with many gold producers cashed up and seeing very nice margins on their Q2 earnings reports, and likely to see that continue in Q3 earnings, that we may start seeing a the senior and mid-producers begin a bigger wave of merger and acquisition transactions.  For now the uncertainty in the markets is keeping investors away from getting into the riskier subset of junior PM stocks. We then shifted over to the diversification and risk mitigation advantages of the royalty and streaming business model, and how those stocks fit into his portfolio. Wrapping up John outlines why he is increasingly mitigating risk in the resource stocks by positioning in the physical gold, silver, uranium, and even the new copper ETFs.   Click here to visit the John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino take an entertaining and humorous deep dive into some of the most pressing global issues of our time. They discuss the growing concerns over global conflicts, the powerful influence of the military-industrial complex, and the potential fallout from a disputed U.S. presidential election.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins us to discuss the large M&A deal announced today where Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI) is acquiring Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) (OTC: OBNNF) for a 55% premium. We ask John if this may point to a larger rerating in gold developers and advanced explorers, using this key transaction and metals value in the ground as a benchmark for where other advanced resources in the sector should be valued.   John points out that with many gold producers cashed up and seeing very nice margins on their Q2 earnings reports, that we may start seeing a bigger wave of merger and acquisition transactions. We also note that Q3 is looking to have an even higher average gold price, which should be a further boon to gold producers and possibly start attracting more interest from generalist investors. There were other stocks getting a bid in sympathy today Skeena Resources Limited (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE) and Snowline Gold (TSX-V:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) that didn't have news out, but that are known to have large resources out that are getting higher values from investors.  If the momentum can keep building then he outlines that it may start bringing in more capital at better terms for advanced exploration deposits that have further derisked their projects through economic studies.   We wrap up asking John if this is the best setup he has seen in the gold equities in relation to gold in his investing career, how that could be affected by geopolitics or a recession, and what he makes of the lag effect in silver and the silver stocks as the more speculative side of the precious metals complex.   Click here to visit the John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

History is full of examples where nations resorted to taking on ever-increasing amounts of debt to maintain a positive economic growth rate. But it never works out well for those who do. Most often, they end up sacrificing the purchasing power of their currencies in the process. Many analysts are now raising such concerns about the fast growing national, corporate and consumer debt pile in the US and other G7 nations. Are we repeating the mistakes of history? Or is it truly different this time? To discuss, we're fortunate to welcome monetary and macro analyst John Rubino, author and co-author of numerous books including The Money Bubble with James Turk.

John Rubino, [Follow John on his Substack https://rubino.substack.com/],  joins us to outline the potential for the higher gold and silver prices last few months to lead to upside surprises with the Q2 earnings reports in the PM mining stocks and royalty companies. John highlights the $300 increased margin, compared to Q2 of 2023, that a royalty company like Sandstorm Gold (TSX: SSL) (NYSE: SAND) is forecasting and how significant that could be for cashflow generation.  He is interested in seeing if the largest and most followed gold producer, Newmont Mining (TSX: NGT) (NYSE: NEM) can really prove to the markets that they are seeing margin expansion, with higher metals prices outpacing their rising costs. We also review that many of the higher-cost miners could actually see the largest percentage increase to their margins once the Q2 numbers come in.   This leads into a discussion on whether we'll see more senior producers generating good cashflows and potentially attracting new investment inflows, then start a more aggressive merger and acquisition cycle.   He mentions that when we starting seeing multiple larger miners courting larger projects like New Found Gold (TSX.V: NFG) (NYSE: NFGC) or even solid low-cost single-asset producers like Silvercrest (TSX: SIL) (NYSE: SILV), that it will really get the M&A momentum going in the sector.   John cautions against the potential for economic contraction later this year to potentially spill over into a pullback in the precious metals sector in sympathy, but entertains the converse thesis that the PMs could also diverge from the general equities in a more structural correction.   Click here to visit the John's Substack to keep up to date on his market and economic commentary.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino discussed various indicators pointing towards an economic slowdown, attributing it to factors like higher interest rates and government interventions through liquidity injections. They also touched upon the upcoming election and its potential influence on the economic narrative. The speakers expressed differing views on whether the current trend in the gold and silver market represents a temporary correction or a continuation of the bull market. The conversation also explored the multifaceted impact of current events on the political landscape, emphasizing the challenges faced by the Biden administration, such as inflation, border control issues, and escalating international conflicts. They highlighted the emergence of a paradigm shift towards government intervention and the implications for future political strategies. Additionally, the speakers engaged in a speculative conversation about the potential imprisonment of Trump, considering the implications and motivations behind such a scenario. Finally, they discussed the escalating tensions in Ukraine, expressing deep concern about the potential for World War III and analyzing the involvement of NATO and the US.

Kerry Lutz and John Rubino delve into pressing economic issues, predicting a looming crisis driven by rising mortgage rates and increasing retail store closures. They argue the necessity for significant government intervention, similar to the pandemic-era stimulus measures, to mitigate the economic downturn. The conversation also explores the unique challenges facing retailers, especially in California, where lax laws on shoplifting complicate business operations. Additionally, they discuss the controversial "weaponization" of the criminal justice system, suggesting its impact on social order and business environment. Rubino and Lutz propose radical ideas for government restructuring, such as firing government employees in alphabetical order and maintaining only essential workers during crises. They emphasize the importance of essential services, including police, road maintenance, and waste management, referencing similar strategies from Argentina and El Salvador. Political dynamics also take center stage as they speculate on potential vice presidential candidates for Donald Trump, particularly focusing on Ron DeSantis. They consider how political issues, notably abortion, could influence upcoming elections. Find John's work here: Rubino.Substack.com Find Kerry here: FSN and here: inflation.cafe

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back John Rubino, a former Wall Street financial analyst and author, to discuss the current bull market in gold. Rubino asserts that gold's intrinsic value is significantly higher than its present price, which could reach $5,000 to $10,000 per ounce based on historical analysis. He also posits that a potential collapse of the financial system due to debt could lead to a return to a gold-backed currency or a currency reset. They explore the implications of inflation and currency devaluation on various assets including stocks, real estate, bonds, and gold. John argues that adjusting investment numbers for inflation offers a different perspective on asset value over time. He warns about potential risks in the financial system, such as a commercial real estate crash or an equities bear market. He also discusses the deficit in the silver market, which could result in significant price spikes and potential defaults on futures contracts. Despite uncertainty, John suggests investment strategies for investing in real assets like gold and silver. Investors should consider gold as a long-term investment and focus on positive goals during uncertain times to build capital for future challenges. Gold is currently seen as a store of value, but demand for it is minimal but starting to rise. Once gold breaks through resistance and support levels, it could lead to a significant run in the market.

Tom welcomes a new guest John Rubino to the show. John is a former Wall Street financial analyst and accomplished author. Rubino highlights the concerning state of the U.S. consumer and the increase in debt since the pandemic. He points out that while some macroeconomic indicators may appear positive, consumer data points suggest a different story, with many Americans resorting to credit cards for everyday expenses. Rubino warns that the U.S. is running on a deep debt system that cannot handle higher interest rates and suggests that interest rates must decline to avoid a recession. John is concerned for the potential economic crisis that could arise from the high levels of consumer debt and defaults on loans, as well as the low housing market. Rubino suggests that this downturn could be worse than the 2008 financial crisis due to the higher debt levels. The Federal Reserve's change in stance from considering raising interest rates to cutting them is seen as a response to the potential crisis in order to maintain a strong economy and political power leading into 2024. The conversation then shifts to the outlook for gold. Rubino mentions that with the Fed no longer raising interest rates, gold could rise, and historical charts indicate that it could perform well as a safe haven asset. The discussion also predicts an optimistic future for gold in 2024, with a potential resistance at $3,000 if it decisively breaks $2,500. Rubino also speaks about the manipulation of gold by central banks and the potential for silver to outperform gold. He explains that silver's psychological impact on purchase power could attract momentum traders, leading to an increase in the silver versus gold price. The underperformance of miners compared to gold's performance is attributed to the high cost of mining, but with fuel costs decreasing and gold prices increasing, the margin could improve, making miners more attractive to investors. The interview concludes with a discussion on investing in junior or exploration companies. Rubino mentions the success story of Great Bear Resources, a company that found a gold deposit and was eventually bought out, leading to a dramatic increase in its share price. He emphasizes the importance of management credentials, consistently positive drill results, and a supportive mining jurisdiction when evaluating such companies. The potential for buyouts and life-changing opportunities for investors is also highlighted. Lastly, he discusses the importance of looking for opportunity during crisis periods and staying optimistic.

Precious metals like gold are expected to keep rising, supported by multiple factors such as the high consumer debt levels and lack of trust in government.
