Fed Frozen, America Gains Advantage - Dale Smothers #6390

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Kerry Lutz and Dale Smothers break down the Fed’s latest decision to hold rates and what it really signals beneath the surface. With inflation still sticky, oil prices elevated, and the labor market holding strong, they explain why the Fed may be stuck—and what that means going forward. From there, the conversation shifts global. Rising geopolitical tensions and energy dynamics are reframing America’s position, with a growing focus on domestic production, nuclear expansion, and long-term energy security. They also dig into the strain from AI-driven data center demand and the surprising...

Iran Flashpoint Goes Global - Todd Sheets #6389

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

The Iran flashpoint isn’t just regional—it’s the front line of a much bigger global strategy. What looks like isolated tension is part of a coordinated push shaping power, trade, and influence worldwide. Kerry Lutz sits down with Todd Sheets to break down why Iran sits at the center of U.S. focus, how control of critical waterways like the Strait of Hormuz factors into the equation, and why this moment signals a more aggressive projection of power. The conversation connects Middle East escalation to broader geopolitical moves, including pressure points tied to global commerce and rival...

Confidence Surge… But Trouble Ahead - Jay Mehta #6388

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Kerry Lutz sits down with Jay Mehta to break down a stronger-than-expected consumer confidence report—but the story beneath the surface is far more complicated. Mehta explains why confidence is rising, pointing to a still-resilient labor market and households that continue to spend. But despite the upbeat data, the bigger question is how long this strength can actually last. Rising energy costs are starting to creep back into the picture, and they hit lower-income households the hardest—threatening to squeeze discretionary spending and shift the trajectory of the broader economy. So far,...

Escape The Dollar While You Can - Peter Schiff #6387

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Peter Schiff breaks down why the dollar is in real trouble—and why gold may be the only way out. Kerry Lutz sits down with Peter Schiff to unpack mounting pressure on the U.S. dollar and the growing risk of a sovereign debt crisis. Schiff explains why foreign demand for Treasuries is fading, how the Fed is effectively monetizing debt, and why repeated fiscal “kicks” may be pushing the system toward a breaking point. He lays out his strategy—reducing dollar exposure in favor of foreign dividend-paying stocks and gold—and why that approach has been outperforming. The discussion also...

System Collapse Already Underway - Darryl Schoon #6386

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

This interview dives into warnings of a major economic collapse already in motion. Kerry sits down with Darryl Schoon to break down what’s happening beneath the surface—where inflation is crushing affordability, while deflation quietly destroys money through debt defaults and contraction. They unpack how credit creation, loan failures, and central bank intervention are colliding in real time. Quantitative easing since 2009 may have kept the system alive—but at a cost. Money velocity has collapsed to Great Depression levels, while liquidity has been funneled into financial assets and...

Stagflation Storm Is Here - Dennis Tubbergen #6385

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Kerry sits down with Dennis Tubergen to break down a rapidly shifting economic landscape—and the warning signs are getting louder. Tubergen argues stagflation is no longer theoretical. With inflation rising and GDP expectations falling, he warns that higher energy prices could fuel a prolonged and painful cycle just as growth slows. The focus then shifts to gold and silver, where recent pullbacks look more like consolidation than weakness. With physical supply deficits and potential delivery stress, the setup—especially for silver—could be explosive. They also examine central banks...

War, Debt, Silver Shock - John Rubino #6384

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Recorded live on Substack on April 8, Kerry Lutz sits down with John Rubino to break down how escalating war tensions are shaking global markets, precious metals, and the broader financial system in real time. Gold and silver’s initial drop—and sharp rebound—are unpacked, with insights into margin calls, central bank activity, and why prolonged conflict could ultimately fuel inflation and drive metals higher. The conversation moves into deeper territory, exposing growing risks inside private credit and shadow banking. Opaque structures, rising leverage, and AI-driven vendor financing are...

Silver Breakout Fakeout Or Launchpad? - David Erfle #6383

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Kerry Lutz and David Erfle break down silver’s violent move—was the breakout a fakeout, or the setup for something bigger? After a parabolic run, both gold and silver saw sharp reversals, with gold briefly testing its 200-day moving average and silver correcting roughly 50%. They argue the selloff was driven more by margin calls and forced deleveraging than any real change in fundamentals. The bigger picture still leans bullish. Silver remains in a multi-year structural deficit, with most supply coming as a by-product, while physical demand—especially from Asia—stays strong. They also...

Gold Selloff Is the Trap - Craig Hemke #6382

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

This interview was recorded live, and it begins mid-conversation as Kerry realizes they’re already on air—before diving straight into the real story. Kerry sits down with Craig Hemke to break down the recent gold and silver selloff—and why it may be misleading the market. After a strong run through February, both metals reversed sharply as rate expectations rose, the dollar strengthened, and sovereign selling added pressure. Craig explains why the Fed is likely to prioritize growth over inflation, setting the stage for more money creation and long-term dollar weakness. That shift, he...

Trump’s Iran Gamble Escalates - Bill Walton #6381

Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

In this interview, Kerry Lutz speaks with Bill Walton about the rapidly escalating conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran—and the high-stakes decisions driving it. Walton reveals how Israeli intelligence penetrated Iran’s surveillance systems and why the timing of recent operations may have created a rare opportunity to target the regime’s leadership. The discussion explores how those moves may be pulling the U.S. deeper into a widening conflict. They also break down the political divide at home, questioning whether opposition stems from anti-war principles or resistance to...
