Andrew Brill welcomes renowned economist Daniel Lacalle, PhD, to discuss the unsustainable trajectory of the U.S. and major global economies, which are already experiencing a private-sector “hidden recession.” Lacalle, Chief Economist at Tressis, unpacks how massive government spending and loose central bank policies are inflating short-term GDP growth while creating long-term risks, including persistent inflation, unmanageable public debt, and debasement and potential loss of confidence in the U.S. dollar, as reflected in the S&P 500 and the price of gold. He highlights the growing disparity between strong headline figures and the struggles faced by everyday citizens, as inflation disproportionately affects the lower and middle class and small businesses. Lacalle advocates for pro-growth private sector policies and warns that only by curbing debt and inflation can a sustainable economic future be secured.

Crescat Capital Macro Strategist Tavi Costa explains how rising U.S. interest payments and unchecked fiscal spending have trapped the Federal Reserve, forcing last week’s aggressive rate cut that could reignite inflation and weaken the U.S. dollar. As recession risks grow and equity markets hit peak valuations, he joins James Connor to unpack why commodities like oil and gold are poised to thrive, offering critical insights into the economic challenges and opportunities ahead.

There are plenty of signs flashing recession, warns Lobo Tiggre, CEO of The Independent Speculator. He joins James Connor to explain why a recession is already here and why gold and uranium could have significant upside during this downturn. The contrarian investor also breaks down key economic indicators, critiques the Fed’s actions, and shares why gold and uranium miners could outperform in this cycle.

James Connor sits down with Rick Rule, Founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media, to uncover why gold remains the ultimate defense against reckless government spending and skyrocketing federal debt. Rick explains how the staggering U.S. debt load is unpayable and can only be eroded away through inflation, positioning gold as the best hedge. In this in-depth conversation, the expert in natural resource investing also shares his insights on the political pressures facing the Fed, his outlook for gold equities and the energy sector, and why uranium could be a game-changer for patient investors.
