Silver Is Breaking the System - David Erfle #6364
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Kerry Lutz sits down with precious metals analyst David Erfle to break down the latest moves in silver and gold, and why recent price action is being driven by structural forces rather than short-term speculation. They trace decades of paper-market intervention — from 1960s silver controls to the Hunt Brothers episode — explaining how regulatory and exchange actions have repeatedly distorted price discovery. This time, however, physical shortages are forcing a widening disconnect between paper prices and real-world supply. The discussion ties precious metals strength to a sovereign...

California Is Killing Small Business - Bruce de Torres - #6363
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Kerry Lutz and Bruce de Torres call out California’s $20+ minimum wage for crushing small businesses, accelerating closures, and wiping out jobs — while large corporations adapt and smaller operators are left with no escape route. Bruce explains why the minimum wage fight is only a symptom of decades of failed policy and education, and how those pressures have steadily marginalized independent businesses across the country. The conversation then shifts to federal procurement, where Bruce exposes how the Small Business Administration consistently falls short of its 23% contracting goal,...

Trump Shocks Markets Higher - Dale Smothers #6362

Gold and silver are flashing warning signs. Rising prices reflect global instability and growing demand, with Kerry cautioning that government intervention becomes more likely as metals climb. Geopolitical pressure is building. Russia and...

The Economy Looks Strong… But Is It? - Jim Welsh #6361
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Kerry Lutz and Jim Welsh dig into why the U.S. economy looks stable on the surface, with growth near 2.5%, but may be far less balanced underneath. Jim warns that government spending is masking a widening divide, where the top 10% of earners drive consumption while lower-income households feel increasing pressure. Despite recent market weakness, Jim notes that internal indicators like the advance-decline line remain firm, historically limiting the depth of market corrections. This helps explain why markets continue to hold together even as risks quietly build. They also discuss President...

Silver Is Running Out - Robert Kientz #6360
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Silver prices are surging as a multi-year supply deficit collides with shrinking above-ground inventories. Rob Kientz explains why years of underproduction, rising mining costs, and long development timelines are creating a physical silver squeeze that’s becoming impossible to ignore. Despite higher prices, U.S. retail investors remain largely disengaged, distracted by tech stocks and crypto. Meanwhile, governments and institutional buyers are quietly positioning for shortages, even as some individuals are forced to sell precious metals out of financial necessity — a pressure that hasn’t...

Markets are sending shockwaves: silver soars while Bitcoin stumbles under pressure. Kerry Lutz and Dan Novaes break down a market in upheaval, explaining what’s driving the divergence and why it matters for anyone holding wealth today. Dan exposes the forces behind crypto’s shakeups — from drawdowns and regulatory shifts to corporate treasuries quietly stacking Bitcoin. He explains why volatility is normal, long-term trends still matter, and how millennials are redefining what “safe haven” really means. The discussion also dives into gold, Ethereum, and smart crypto strategies,...

Is Silver the New Oil? - Michael Arries #6358
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Silver is no longer just a precious metal — it may be becoming a strategic necessity. Kerry Lutz sits down with silver expert Michael Arries to break down why silver demand is accelerating, driven by electronics, AI, and critical industrial use. With sustained physical buying pressure, Michael explains why traditional paper market manipulation is losing its grip. As supply tightens, the conversation turns serious. Michael warns that future government and national defense actions could dramatically impact availability, limiting investor access just as demand surges. He outlines a bold price...

World War III Economy - Gerald Celente #6357
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Gerald Celente joins Kerry Lutz to break down the accelerating economic and geopolitical crisis unfolding worldwide. As governments prioritize military spending during economic downturns, Celente warns that consumers — not economies — are being sacrificed. Gold and silver are surging as safe-haven assets, signaling rising fear beneath the surface. The Trends Research team argues this shift reflects growing expectations of a much larger global conflict. The discussion covers Europe’s leadership failures, U.S. foreign policy, and escalating tensions in Ukraine, Israel, and Iran,...

Silver’s Endgame Has Begun - David Morgan #6355
Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network
Silver is no longer trading like a paper asset — and that changes everything. Kerry Lutz and David Morgan break down why the market structure has shifted, how physical demand is overwhelming paper suppression, and why $100 silver is no longer a fringe target — it’s a bullseye. They examine JP Morgan’s quiet move to the long side, the historical roots of silver suppression dating back to 1965, and why the LBMA and COMEX are losing control as physical markets take over. David also explains why silver stocks may offer asymmetric upside versus physical metal, including dividends, leverage,...
info_outlineA fast, high-clarity breakdown of the Caribbean chessboard — and why Venezuela, Cuba, and Panama now sit at the center of a global power reset. Kerry Lutz maps out how Venezuela becomes the spark, Cuba the real prize, and Panama the strategic pivot point as China quietly expands influence and the U.S. recalibrates policy ahead of a new commodity supercycle.
Kerry walks through how shifting alliances, failing media narratives, and a narrowing geopolitical window are setting up dramatic moves in energy, metals, and trade routes. From Trump’s emerging doctrine to emergency oil stabilization, this briefing lays out why crude may calm while gold, silver, and copper prepare for their next surge.
You’ll hear why Cuba’s vulnerability matters more than headlines suggest, how the Panama Canal factors into long-term U.S.–China friction, and where asymmetric opportunities may emerge — including overlooked plays in distressed Cuban debt.
A sharp, 6-minute macro briefing for investors watching the next big shift in geopolitics, energy, and hard assets.
