Rick Rule explains that if the US dollar loses 75% of its purchasing power in the next 10 years, as it did in the 1970s, then the nominal price of gold is likely to rise three- to fourfold, providing an essential hedge for portfolios. Alasdair Macleod warns that foreign ownership of the dollar, already exceeding one-third of US GDP, could trigger a crisis if investors exit en masse. Dunagan Kaiser hosts the panel, bringing out the ...

Tavi Costa from Crescat Capital shares his outlook on silver as the long-anticipated cup-and-handle formation finally plays out, with prices surging toward $50. He emphasizes that silver’s strength stems from its role as a monetary metal tied to gold’s cycle, not just industrial demand, making mining companies deeply undervalued and highly leveraged to rising prices. Costa points to the U.S. twin deficit crisis, a weakening dollar,...

Johnson welcomes back Rafi Farber of The End Game Investor to break down the Fed’s growing panic, the risks in the repo market, and why central bankers are running out of excuses. They discuss the warning signs in the yield curve, the...

Francis Hunt (https://themarketsniper.com/) joins Liberty and Finance to share his latest outlook on gold and silver. He explains that while both metals remain in a powerful long-term bull market, traders should expect a short-term pause after gold hit his key target near $3,769 and silver broke through the crucial $44 level. Hunt highlights a massive cup-and-handle breakout in silver, projecting a long-term target of $330, though ...

Michael Oliver joins Elijah Johnson to discuss silver’s explosive rally as it pushes past $44 while gold tests $3,800. Oliver argues silver is entering an acceleration phase similar to past bull markets and says $100 silver in early 2026 is realistic. He explains how silver is undervalued compared to gold, copper, and other metals, calling it a long-term market mistake now correcting. Oliver also warns of looming risks in the stock...

Andy Schectman explained that silver’s breakout above $44 and gold’s record highs above $3,700 are being fueled by unprecedented physical demand from COMEX, London, and Switzerland, with lease rates signaling extreme tightness in supply. He described silver’s 45-year cup-and-handle formation, projecting potential targets near $100 once $50 is broken, while noting that silver’s new classification as a “critical mineral” provides an ...

Dunagun Kaiser welcomes first-time guest Paul Sickles, a client who has taken his concerns about financial instability beyond personal preparation to actively helping others. Paul shares how his awakening began in 2010 after watching Mike Maloney’s Hidden Secrets of Money, which opened his eyes to the true nature of value versus currency. He explains the dangers of relying on 401(k)s, bank savings, and dollar-denominated thinking, ...

James Wesley Rawles (https://survivalblog.com/) warns that silver shortages on the COMEX and LBMA could soon force exchanges to settle futures contracts in U.S. dollars rather than delivering physical metal, sparking major moves across precious metals. He points to relentless Asian demand, structural deficits in supply, and concentrated short positions as signs of stress building in silver and platinum markets. Gold has already sur...

Matthew Piepenburg (https://vg.gold/) argued that growing discussions around gold revaluation reflect desperation at the highest levels of finance. He explained that revaluing gold against the dollar would be an admission that current debt levels and monetary distortions are unsustainable, and that only anchoring to real assets can restore trust. At the same time, he noted that the push for stablecoins shows policymakers are search...

Bill Holter explains why recent gold and silver price action points to a looming short squeeze and possible failure to deliver in the metals markets. He argues that central banks worldwide are shifting from U.S. treasuries to gold and silver as the dollar weakens and global financial war intensifies between East and West. Domestically, Holter warns that Americans are living "behind enemy lines" in a divided, manipulated system wher...

Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, joins Liberty and Finance for a critical weekly market. With silver up 43% this year and lease rates in London spiking to record highs, he warns that bullion banks face mounting pressure and potential delivery defaults. Andy explains how silver’s status as a Giffen good, combined with shrinking liquidity and surging industrial demand, sets the stage for a severe shortage. He also highlights ho...

Mitch Vexler (https://www.mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad) warns of a nationwide pattern of property-tax and school-district bond fraud that he says inflates valuations, strips homeowner equity, and creates what he calls a compound, Ponzi-like liability spreading through appraisal districts and bond markets. He estimates the visible portion of fraudulent school bond debt at roughly $5.1 trillion (with a possible broader exposure up ...

Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute discusses the U.S. economy’s dangerous progression toward hyperinflation. Thornton explains Ludwig von Mises’ three stages of inflation, stressing how massive debt and unchecked money creation erode trust in currency and push people into real assets like real estate, gold, silver, and even cryptocurrencies. He highlights how rising costs are impoverishing households, while central banks and majo...

Philip Low emphasizes that dishonest money systems, built on manipulation and lack of integrity, eventually lead to monetary panic. When people realize the money they use is being debased or inflated away, trust collapses. This collapse in confidence creates sudden and severe market turmoil, as individuals rush to preserve value elsewhere. Silver and gold historically reemerge in such moments because they are trusted forms of hones...

Drawing parallels to Weimar Germany, MacLeod outlines how today’s credit bubble will collapse into stagflation, currency debasement, and ...

In this in-depth interview, Ed Steer explores the history and current dynamics of the COMEX futures market, originally designed to manage risk for producers and consumers but later distorted by central bank and commercial bank interventions after the end of the gold standard in 1971.

Miles Franklin president & CEO Andy Schectman returns to discuss why gold’s surge to record highs is less about gold rising and more about currencies collapsing. He warns that U.S. debt levels and money printing are destroying confidence in the dollar, while central banks are hoarding gold instead of Treasuries. Heavy COMEX deliveries and short squeezes in silver highlight the growing stress in paper markets. With global bond marke...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
