The Real Risk for Markets Isn’t Tariffs: It’s Japan! | Michael Gayed

The U.S. debt crisis is spiraling and Larry McDonald says the market hasn’t priced it in. With over $37 trillion in debt and $1 trillion in annual interest payments, the U.S. is barreling toward what McDonald calls a “Liz Truss moment”: a surge in bond issuance that could trigger market chaos. In this eye-opening interview, The Bear Traps Report founder and bestselling author joins James Connor to explain why we’re entering a stagflationary regime eerily similar to the 1970s and why your portfolio needs to adapt. Topics discussed in part I: Why the U.S. faces a debt-driven crisis of confidence The real S&P 500 earnings (hint: it’s not $270, but much lower) A $4 trillion rotation out of Big Tech How capital is fleeing U.S. markets and into global value Why hard assets like gold, oil, copper, and coal are set to outperform What “financial repression” means for your money Don’t miss part II of this insightful and actionable interview coming out tomorrow!

Economist, financial expert, and bestselling author Dr. Nomi Prins sits down with James Connor and dives deep into the economic storm clouds she sees gathering over Wall Street and Main Street alike. With Wall Street sitting on a “hidden” $620 billion ticking time bomb of loan losses (levels not seen since 2008), the risks of another banking crisis are mounting. Nomi explains why persistent inflation, record consumer debt, and tariff uncertainties are increasing the threat of a consumer recession, putting the economy at significant risk of stagflation. She reveals how the Fed’s next moves, with potentially deeper interest rate cuts, could reshape markets dramatically. You’ll also hear from her about major geopolitical shifts, including Europe’s surging defense spending amid ongoing global tensions, and why central banks (particularly China) are rapidly diversifying from U.S. Treasuries into gold, likely pushing gold prices significantly higher.
