Silver Breaks $40 – David Morgan Explains #6323
Silver has broken through the $40 mark for the first time since 2011, and David Morgan of The Morgan Report joins Kerry Lutz to unpack what it means for investors. David explains why a sustained move above this level could trigger a breakout, and why steady, gradual gains are healthier for the market than sharp spikes. The conversation covers gold’s surge past $3,500, the role of market manipulation and spoofing in shaping price action, and how thin trading volumes can create big swings in silver. David and Kerry also explore shifting investor behavior as more people turn to precious metals as a safe haven amid economic uncertainty. They dive into trading strategies, profit-taking discipline, and the long-term case for owning physical metals. Kerry even shares a personal story about how precious metals served as “forced savings” during a financial crisis. The episode closes with a look at the strong performance of mining stocks and why understanding market dynamics is more important than chasing price targets.

The $10 Trillion Trade Shock - Spencer Morrison #6320
America has lived with a chronic trade deficit since 1974 — and the cost has been staggering. Kerry Lutz and Spencer Morrison unpack how over 60,000 factories have closed and more than 5 million manufacturing jobs have vanished, while nearly $10 trillion has been drained from the U.S. economy through China’s subsidies, intellectual property theft, and unfair trade practices.

Understanding Economy with Darryl Robert Schoon #6314
Kerry Lutz introduced Darryl Schoon, who shared insights from his 2007 predictions regarding a potential economic collapse, attributing the instability to the Federal Reserve's monetary policies. Darryl compared the U.S. economic approach to that of Britain, emphasizing a more aggressive risk-taking culture in America. He discussed historical parallels with the Great Depression, particularly the role of tariffs in worsening economic downturns, and expressed concerns about the current economic landscape in 2025, suggesting that it bears similarities to past crises. Darryl used a toilet analogy to illustrate the role of central banks in maintaining economic stability since 2009, noting that while ongoing monetary support has prevented immediate collapse, it has created unsustainable pressure on the financial system. He highlighted the public's focus on immediate needs rather than the complexities of economic management, stressing the urgency for a more balanced monetary policy. He also pointed out that the predicted economic collapse has been postponed due to quantitative easing, with significant increases in gold prices and warnings from analysts about the bond markets being the next focal point of financial turmoil. Darryl emphasized the growing importance of gold as a leading asset class in 2025, serving as a hedge against various economic uncertainties. He discussed the dynamics of the precious metals market, noting the ongoing short squeeze in silver and the challenges faced by investors. Additionally, he referenced insights from Michael Hartnett of Bank of America regarding an impending debt shock in the U.S. and the potential for a long-term bear market for the dollar. The conversation also touched on the Inslaw case, highlighting the risks faced by individuals attempting to expose sensitive information, underscoring the broader challenges in the current economic and political landscape.
