In 1980, Mark Skousen told investors to sell their gold and silver. Now the Chapman University economics professor says the U.S. has entered “an era of permanent inflation,” yet he calls himself one of the few people at the New Orleans Investment Conference “who’s rather cautious” on the metals. Skousen, a former CIA economist and founder of FreedomFest, tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron he’s convinced Fed Chair Kevin Warsh wants to be another Paul Volcker. With Warsh focused on the money supply, Skousen sees a December rate hike as a real possibility. He warns that real interest rates running above inflation are “not good for gold or silver,” and he weighs in on whether $50 still holds as a floor for silver. On the economy, Skousen says “AI is bailing us out,” but he warns the U.S. is headed for a monetary crisis as interest on the national debt keeps climbing. He also explains why he now prefers a royalty company and dividend-paying stocks over miners and bonds, and shares his ancestor Benjamin Franklin’s view on paying off the national debt.

Harry Dent is selling his own home and owns zero gold. The economist and founder of HS Dent tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why he believes home prices may not recover in our lifetime, why gold could fall back to 2015 levels before its biggest rally ever, and why stocks could drop 54% when the bubble bursts. Dent calls this "the greatest bubble in history," and he says stocks, real estate, gold and silver all inflated together. He explains why long-term U.S. Treasuries are the only safe haven he wants to own, why he plans to short the first leg of a stock market crash with a triple-leveraged fund, and why he expects a decade of deflation. He also explains why baby boomers selling their homes could weigh on real estate for decades, and why he sees India as "the next China." The conversation comes as contracts to buy existing homes fell to the lowest level since records began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors, and as hedge funds cut tech stocks at the fastest pace in Goldman Sachs data going back to 2016.

George Gammon puts 10% of what he makes into physical gold and says he never plans to sell it. He also says "set it and forget it" investing is over for your 401(k). The Rebel Capitalist host tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why the world can't quit the dollar, even as Gulf allies ask Washington for dollar swap lines, and why central banks are buying gold to guard against counterparty risk, not inflation. Central banks bought 289 tonnes in the second quarter, a record for any second quarter, according to the World Gold Council. With gold about 26% below its January record, Gammon said he would be "quite surprised" if it were below $5,000 or $6,000 in three to five years. He also explains the 200-day moving average strategy he's testing for paper gold in a 401(k), why he says Treasury yields follow nominal GDP rather than the national debt, and why he calls the AI boom "selling $20 bills for 10 bucks."

Is your pension or annuity exposed to private equity? Former New York Fed insider Christopher Whalen tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why he’d get that money out if you can, and why he sold his own bank stocks to lean on gold and silver. Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, former head of research at Kroll Bond Rating Agency and editor of The Institutional Risk Analyst, says private equity investors are “entirely beholden to the manager” for what their holdings are worth. He also says private credit funds buying up insurers should worry anyone who owns an annuity. His first question for every annuity holder is simple: what’s the insurer’s rating? He explains why he bought puts on consumer lenders as he expects more missed payments. He also calls gold and silver an “asymmetrical trade” as central banks shift toward gold. For a retired couple, he suggests focusing on income first and holding about 5% to 10% in a gold ETF. On the economy, Whalen explains how the AI borrowing boom helped push up bond yields, and why he thinks the Federal Reserve will have to return to QE and buy Treasuries again. He warns food prices could get “much higher” as farmers struggle to afford fertilizer, and he doesn’t expect 5% mortgage rates to come back. This interview was recorded on Oct. 19, 2026. Correction: At about 27:35, Jeremy says the Mortgage Bankers Association expects mortgage rates to fall about 5% in 2027. He meant mortgage lending, which the MBA expects to fall about 5% to below $2 trillion. Subscribe to Kitco News. We’re going to keep following who gets stuck with the bill.

Peter Grandich tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron gold may need one more brief drop under $4,000 to set up the strong bottom it needs, then a run toward record highs in 2028. Gold bugs, he says, won’t like the first part. Grandich, who says he sold his gold before this year’s drop, explains why he changed his mind on a stock market crash in the last three days and why a 10-year Treasury yield above 6% would signal a financial crisis. He also says copper could hit $7 before 2027 and calls Canadian mining a lifetime opportunity. Plus: his “Riverboat Pete” shopping list, why he’s waiting on uranium, and the lesson that cost him millions. This interview was recorded on October 8, 2026.

Inflation hit 3.7% in September, and gold and silver fell anyway. Social Security's 3.6% raise adds about $75 a month for the average retiree. Mario Innecco, host of maneco64 and a former London bond futures broker, says that won't keep up, and that big banks are trying to keep gold "under control." Jeremy Szafron asks Mario why gold is still above $4,000 with bond yields at multi-decade highs, whether you can trust the CPI, why he says bonds are becoming "certificates of confiscation" again, whether Fed Chair Warsh hikes before the midterms, how America could unlock about $1 trillion by revaluing its gold, what 1933 teaches about gold confiscation, the warning signs of a bank bail-in, and whether to own the miners or physical gold and silver.

Col. Douglas Macgregor tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron that Saudi Arabia is "gonna go out of business," that a new commodity supercycle has begun, and that another U.S. strike on Iran would bring "years of scarcity" for oil and water across the Gulf. Macgregor, a retired U.S. Army colonel who fought in the Gulf War and advised the acting Secretary of Defense, breaks down the Houthi strikes on Riyadh and why he says Turkey and Pakistan won't fight Saudi Arabia's war, why the Navy can't secure the Strait of Hormuz, why refining is the real bottleneck for copper, rare earths and critical minerals, why he sees China as the real winner in the Gulf, and the diesel crunch behind Washington's Russian diesel deal. In a rapid-fire round, he forecasts $150 to $200 oil next year and $10,000 gold by 2029. This interview was recorded on October 13, 2026. Today's show is brought to you by Kalshi.

Gold dropped as much as $82 on a hot inflation report, then erased almost the entire loss a day later. Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com says that kind of snap-back is exactly what a bottom looks like, and his year-end model has gold climbing back above $5,000. Wagner takes Jeremy Szafron through the “engulfing bullish” pattern now sitting on the gold chart, the one candle that confirms it, and the single level that tears the whole thesis apart. He runs his Elliott Wave count from January’s record high through the correction, and pins down where his models put gold by year-end and into early 2027. He also returns to the $56 silver floor he called a month ago, reads what the gold-silver ratio is signaling, explains why a rising dollar and a 10-year yield near its highest since 2002 are the real threats to the rally, and points to a “price void” opening up in crude oil. After 40 years on the charts, he also says why he keeps stacking silver instead of selling.

Washington could default at 50 cents on the dollar, and gold is the only hedge against Treasuries, Peter Schiff tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron. Schiff, host of The Peter Schiff Show, says the 40-year bull market in bonds is over and rates could rise faster than they fell. He sees 9% mortgage rates possible by the first quarter of next year and a 30 to 50% drop in home prices nationwide, which he calls a bigger bubble than 2008. He explains the "fourth quadrant" of high debt and high interest rates, why he sees the way out as massive inflation or a restructuring, and why he calls rising bond yields "the most bullish thing that could happen to gold and silver." He also says why he holds a lot more of his own money in mining stocks than physical bullion, what a retiree living on Social Security and CDs should do now, and the one long shot that could save the debt.

Gerald Celente says Wall Street and Main Street have split apart, and a crash is on the near horizon. Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the Trends Journal, has spent 46 years forecasting trends. He joins Jeremy Szafron on the stock market, gold, silver, inflation, the jobs report, the Iran war, Gen Z and what he says is coming for your money. Celente says stocks are rallying while Main Street struggles. In New York's Hudson Valley, he says, "the streets are dead," and the restaurant owners he talks to report business down more than 30% on average. He believes the coming crash will mirror 1929, warns of a dot-com bust in AI stocks and argues China will lead the world in artificial intelligence. He also explains why the markets haven't crashed yet: he didn't expect interest rates to go to zero and trillions of dollars in cheap money to flood the system. With September's jobs report showing just 29,000 new jobs, and July and August revised down by a combined 60,000, Celente explains what he calls dragflation, prices going up while the economy goes down, and why he believes higher inflation means higher gold prices. He started buying gold at about $170 an ounce in 1978, bought again near $5,300 and says he would buy now, not sell. He is bullish on silver too, saying there are no silver stockpiles. Celente lays out his getaway plan: "get to the country, because the cities are gonna go down bad." He explains why Gen Z is turning on the system from India to Nepal, why he is holding his 2027 trends until after the Nov. 3 midterms and why he believes a renaissance could still turn things around.

Clem Chambers tells Jeremy Szafron the money printing starts after the midterms, interest rates fall sharply, and gold grinds higher. The ADVFN founder explains why the AI boom has only just begun, why it's running short of power, and who pays for it. Chambers says the AI race is now a race for electricity and copper. He expects the Fed to wait until after the midterms before the money starts flowing, sees a short-term blip for gold before a long-term grind higher, and explains why blue-collar workers could be the biggest winners of the build-out. He also covers China, the information war, Europe's energy crisis, Brazil, Bitcoin, and why investing while anxious, fearful or angry is a costly mistake.

China has added gold to its reserves 22 months in a row, while Beijing keeps Bitcoin trading banned. Cory Klippsten, founder and CEO of Swan Bitcoin, says there's dark logic behind it: gold is hard money a state can still control. Klippsten explains what China can and can't control about gold, why he went looking for a new gold standard and found it falls well short, and the four horsemen he says are pushing bond yields to their highest since 2002: war, growth, debt and Japan. He also says only two Bitcoin treasury companies, Strategy and Strive, are truly running the strategy, and why he now suggests 90% of Bitcoin exposure sit in real on-chain coins. He explains why he calls the AI payments pitch for Bitcoin "Bcash logic," and names the one risk he takes seriously. And he puts a Bitcoin standard for the West somewhere between 2070 and 2090.

Jim Rickards says Washington benefits from inflation. For people trying to protect their savings, that creates a very different problem. In this Kitco News interview, Jeremy Szafron asks Rickards who could drive gold’s next move, why he thinks China needs dollars even as it reduces its Treasury holdings, and what happens when the government’s debt problem collides with the saver’s need for stable purchasing power. Rickards explains why he believes central-bank buying supports gold, what could happen if large institutional investors increase their allocations, and why he sees an opportunity in silver. He also makes a specific Fed call: no additional hike in October, followed by a probable increase in December. The conversation moves from Hormuz and diesel costs to the Japanese yen carry trade, physical gold ownership, the midterm elections and increasingly sophisticated financial scams. Rickards closes with the money lesson he emphasizes to his own children and grandchildren. Jim Rickards is the author of Currency Wars and MoneyGPT and editor of Strategic Intelligence.

Lyn Alden says Washington is on track to run roughly $10 trillion in deficits over the next five years, and she sees no appetite among voters, Congress or the president to cut spending. She's holding her gold, but after the run toward $5,000 she says it's "less of a screaming buy," and she wants to see a stronger base before she'd pound the table again. In this interview, Lyn explains why she thinks the Fed may not have the tools to fix fiscal-driven inflation, why rate hikes can grow the deficit faster than they slow lending, why she believes "the fiscal side will win," what could force the Fed to step into the Treasury market, why she thinks "zero is the wrong number" when it comes to holding some assets yourself, and whether stablecoins really strengthen the dollar.

As Trump and Xi meet at the White House, rare earths are one of the biggest issues on the table. China's one-year pause on its toughest rare earth export controls runs out in November, and America, the world's second-biggest rare earth miner, still depends on China for the magnets inside electric cars, wind turbines and defense equipment. China makes 94% of the world's sintered rare earth magnets, according to the International Energy Agency. In April 2025, it put 7 rare earths behind export licenses. Shipments fell sharply, and some automakers cut production or temporarily shut down. In this episode of This Week In Focus, Jeremy Szafron explains why mining alone doesn't solve the problem, how China built its grip on refining and magnet making, what the Pentagon's price floor at MP Materials' Mountain Pass mine is designed to do, and why China's central bank has kept buying gold for 22 straight months.

Mark Thornton called the housing bubble in 2004. For four years, he was told he was wrong. He now says every paper-dollar asset you own is facing a very difficult future, and the AI buildout is the clearest warning sign he has seen since. In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, the Mises Institute senior fellow and author of The Skyscraper Curse explains why AI data centers are this cycle's record-breaking tower, why the bonds financing them run decades longer than the hardware, who gets stuck with the cost when a tenant stops paying, and why central banks no longer trusting each other is the best sign he has seen for gold. Thornton also reacts to the Federal Reserve's report on Silicon Valley Bank published this week, Chairman Kevin Warsh's first rate hike in three years, and the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline that cut Aramco supply to European buyers.

Bank of Dallas, argues the opposite. She says US small business bankruptcies are up 64% year over year through August, that more than 200 companies have closed every month for five months running, and that 57% of Americans who took cash out refinancing in Q2 accepted a higher mortgage rate to do it. On the data behind the decision, she says the seasonal adjustments at the Bureau of Labor Statistics are "clearly broken" and the official numbers are "at best misleading." On where that leaves investors, she says that whenever there is stress in credit markets, the only place you can hide with any certainty is precious metals.

The 10-year Treasury yield touched 5% as markets priced a greater than 90% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike. David Rosenberg says the market may be making a much bigger mistake by assuming the Fed will keep going. Rosenberg, founder and president of Rosenberg Research, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to explain why he questions the latest payroll and core CPI readings, why slowing wage growth complicates the inflation narrative and why an oil shock is not necessarily durable inflation. He also explains why he is buying 10-year Treasuries at 5%, what could trigger a major short-covering rally in bonds and why he believes the U.S. dollar is entering a long-term bear market. The conversation covers gold’s resilience, hard assets and the investment thesis behind the newly launched ROSY ETF with Corton Capital.

The Federal Reserve decides Wednesday. On Friday the market put a rate hike at roughly 88%, and a cut at zero. It would be the first increase since July 2023. Over nine days, three guests sat down with Jeremy Szafron and made the case that higher rates are a problem the debt can't carry. Ran Neuner on September 3, Brien Lundin on Tuesday September 8, and Ron Paul on September 9. Neuner argued the inflation is a supply shock from the war and that rates are the wrong tool for it, while saying he wasn't ruling a hike out. Lundin argued a sustained campaign of rate hikes cannot be afforded, with debt service already running above national defense. Ron Paul argued the debt and malinvestment have to be liquidated eventually, and that there is no painless way to get there. Friday's CPI came in at 0.4% for the month and 3.4% on the year, with core at 0.3%, hotter than the 0.2% economists expected. That's the Labor Department.

Gold is sitting on a technical fault line ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September decision. Gary Wagner, editor of TheGoldForecast.com and Kitco News technical analyst, puts support for December gold futures near $4,350, with major support just below $4,000. He also identifies resistance for silver near $71.50 and explains why corrections that once took years may now unfold in months. Wagner joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron after August inflation rose 0.4%, market-implied odds of a September rate hike surged to nearly 89%, and gold rebounded after briefly falling below $4,300 in overnight trading. They examine the changing relationship between gold, oil and the US dollar; the record 4,189 tonnes held by global gold ETFs; silver’s sharper volatility; and what the charts say to investors who bought near January’s record prices. Wagner also explains how he dollar-cost averages physical metals, why he believes precious metals should represent 10% to 15% of a portfolio, and why he may never sell his own holdings.
