Hank Paulson Warns of Debt Crisis He Helped Create

The dollar erased every war gain, oil's back above $102, yields are at 4.5%, and mining stocks just gave you the buying opportunity of the year.Gold settled the week at $4,612 with silver at $75.33, both drifting lower as investor attention shifted to record-high stock indexes. Mining stocks took the hardest hit with GDX down 6.25% — a buying opportunity Peter Schiff says is being created by the same complacency that preceded every major gold breakout.The dollar index fell to 97.7, erasing every penny gained since the Iran war began — a historically weak bounce for a supposed safe haven currency. Oil climbed back above $102 while 30-year Treasury yields touched 4.5%, recreating the exact conditions that forced Trump to reverse Liberation Day tariffs. Schiff revisits Powell's claim of 40 years of controlled inflation, breaking it down decade by decade to show average CPI of 5.5% in the '80s, 3% in the '90s, and 2.6% in the 2000s — with only the post-crisis 2010s near the 2% target. He also highlights the Bitcoin conference where last year's darling Nakamoto is down 99% between conferences, while this year's pitch of "digital credit" is even worse than subprime.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Subscribe00:25 Gold Silver Weekly Recap01:08 Mining Stocks and Fund Plug02:00 Why Gold Bullish Now03:14 Stocks High Oil Yields Rising06:27 Fed Presser and Powell Exit10:05 Money Supply Inflation Reality17:32 Debt Deficits and Fed Failure19:54 Tariffs Cars and Stagflation22:48 Bitcoin Strategy Ponzi Talk24:30 Dollar Weak Bonds to Gold27:19 Gold Targets and Crypto Risks29:15 Schiff Gold App Call to Buy30:58 Wrap Up and Where to FollowFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffGet more gold & silver now: https://www.schiffgold.com1-888-GOLD-160 (465-3160)Open a T Gold account: https://www.tgold.comOpen a managed account: https://europac.comListen to The Peter Schiff Show: https://schiffradio.comFollow the main channel: https://youtube.com/peterschiff#PeterSchiffShow #GoldInvesting #FridayMarketWrapOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Download Netsuite’s free business guide, Demystifying AI, at https://netsuite.com/goldJerome Powell's final press conference as Fed Chair featured a claim that inflation was "under control" for 40 years before the pandemic — a statement Peter Schiff demolishes decade by decade, showing average CPI of 5.5% in the 1980s, 3% in the 1990s, and 2.6% in the 2000s, with only the post-crisis 2010s anywhere near the 2% target.The Fed held rates at 3.5% while oil surged past $108 WTI and $120 Brent, bond yields pushed back toward post-Liberation Day highs with the 30-year hitting 5%, and four FOMC members dissented on the dovish bias. Powell announced he'll stay on the board to protect "Fed independence," but Schiff argues he'll be irrelevant. The episode also covers Trump's plan to buy Spirit Airlines at bankruptcy — proof he doesn't understand capitalism — Michael Saylor's Bitcoin conference keynote pushing Stretch preferred stock as a thinly veiled Ponzi, and explosive IRS FOIA documents proving the agency collaborated with Puerto Rico's SIF to shut down Euro Pacific Bank as a PR stunt, with every email focused on publicity strategy rather than any actual wrongdoing.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open Montage00:58 Fed Holds Rates02:47 Powell Stays On05:07 Fed Independence Debate06:17 Inflation Mandate Critique09:38 Reporters And Data11:04 Decades Of CPI Reality15:01 Ad Break Pebble16:43 Powell On His Record20:04 Inflation Fire Economy Weak21:59 Oil Yields And Markets27:18 Gold Silver And EPAM Pitch29:15 Ad Break NetSuite31:05 Trump Spirit Bailout34:10 Bitcoin Conference Reality Check37:21 Saylor Stretch Digital Credit39:44 Ponzi Claims And Warning42:57 Yield Over Bitcoin43:26 IRS FOIA Fight45:58 Explosive Email Evidence47:02 Debanking Timeline49:55 SIF Findings Breakdown57:42 PR Motive Revealed01:06:47 Press Conference Coordination01:16:43 Why This Matters01:20:08 Puerto Rico Potential01:25:12 Final Call To ActionFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #FederalReserve #InflationOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Warsh refused to say whether Trump lost the 2020 election, wouldn't name a single Trump policy he disagreed with, and couldn't answer the obvious question of what 1% interest rates would do to consumer prices — even though he'd already admitted inflation comes from government spending and money printing.Before breaking down the hearing, Schiff delivers a history of the Federal Reserve that most economics PhDs have never learned: why the Fed was created as a private bank to issue superior banknotes backed by 40% gold, how the original act prohibited the Fed from owning treasuries, and how World War I opened the door to everything wrong with monetary policy today. He also takes aim at MicroStrategy's Strategy preferred stock as a textbook Ponzi scheme — Saylor can only pay the 11.5% yield by selling new shares, and the fine print lets him stop paying whenever he wants.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:57 Warsh Nomination Stakes02:34 InvestingPro Sponsor Demo07:32 Why Fed History Matters08:08 Before the Fed Era11:12 Fed Independence and Constitution14:00 Superior Banknotes Explained17:40 Outskill Sponsor Break21:47 Elastic Money Supply Myth25:49 War Finance and Treasuries32:16 Hearing Reactions Begin33:05 Trump Spending And Inflation34:02 Warren Attacks And Rate Cuts35:17 Warsh Denies Being Puppet36:34 Fed Praise And Wealth38:16 Price Stability Redefined41:15 Dodging Trump Questions43:45 One Percent Rates And QE46:06 Inflation Tax And Deficits47:00 Fed Chair And The Dollar49:54 No CBDC Crypto Pandering50:46 MicroStrategy Ponzi Rant54:20 Lawyer Evasions And Politics57:34 Warsh Verdict And Gold Pitch01:02:11 Final Wrap And SignoffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #FedChair #KevinWarshOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Fed's balance sheet has quietly grown over $200 billion in 2026 while M2 money supply expands at 5% year-over-year. Meanwhile, NYC Mayor Manda proposes city-owned grocery stores and taxes on non-resident condos — policies Schiff dismantles as the kind of anti-capitalist thinking that drives wealth creators to places like Panama, which is rolling out the welcome mat for every entrepreneur New York chases away.Chapters:00:00 Show Cold Open00:57 Live From Puerto Rico01:59 War Headlines Fuel Rally04:12 Bitcoin Gold Silver Check07:07 Fed Policy And Real Rates08:54 Producer Prices Reality Check11:09 Paulson Warns Debt Crisis19:09 Panama Versus New York Taxes22:21 How Wealth Gets Created25:42 Fair Share And Job Creation30:03 Wealth Creation Backlash31:52 City Owned Grocery Plan34:11 Profit Motive And Prices39:18 Subsidies And Market Damage43:25 Farm Subsidies And USSR45:36 Taxing Nonresident Condos51:06 Why Profit Builds Cities51:59 Property Tax Critique59:44 Closing Markets And GoldFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #DebtCrisis #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

CPI triples to 0.9%, consumer sentiment hits an all-time low, and the Fed is quietly running QE — stagflation isn't coming, it's here.Gold ended the week at $4,745 with silver at $75.76 and mining stocks up 5%, all buoyed by the Taco Tuesday ceasefire that sent markets surging mid-week. Peter Schiff argues the ceasefire is a win for Iran and that Trump was looking for a way out of threats he could never carry out — but the real story is the inflation data.March CPI came in at 0.9% month-over-month, tripling February's reading and pushing year-over-year inflation to 3.3%. The Fed's balance sheet has quietly expanded by nearly $200 billion in 2026 — quantitative easing in everything but name. Q4 GDP was revised down to 0.5%, making 2025's full-year growth just 2.1% — lower than any year under Biden. Consumer sentiment plunged to 47.6, the lowest reading in the history of the survey. Schiff connects the dots: M2 money supply growing at 5%, a proposed 50% defense budget increase, and a Fed that will be forced to cut rates regardless of inflation all point to a stagflation environment where gold and silver are headed substantially higher.Chapters:00:00 Ceasefire and Market Mood15:20 Inflation Data and Fed QE23:14 Inflation Not The War38:46 Stagflation Bull CaseFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffGet more gold & silver now: https://www.schiffgold.com1-888-GOLD-160 (465-3160)Open a T Gold account: https://www.tgold.comOpen a managed account: https://europac.comListen to The Peter Schiff Show: https://schiffradio.comFollow the main channel: https://youtube.com/peterschiff#PeterSchiffShow #Stagflation #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ticker WRLGFTrump's Tuesday deadline to destroy Iran's civilization came and went with a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire instead of the promised hellfire. Peter Schiff breaks down how the president's escalating threats — from bombing bridges and power plants to wiping out an entire civilization — collapsed into a two-week truce that concedes nothing from Iran's side.Markets swung wildly on the drama: the Dow dropped 400 points intraday before rallying nearly 1,000 points on ceasefire news, oil cratered 15.5% back to $95 after touching $115, and gold surged $60 despite the supposed "peace" — proving the market is trading the Fed, not the war. Schiff argues rate cuts are coming regardless of inflation, that oil will never return to $60, and that the dollar's reserve currency status is being actively dismantled as countries like France pull gold from U.S. custody. He also reveals the IRS is refusing to comply with a federal judge's FOIA ruling ordering release of documents from the Euro Pacific Bank investigation.Chapters:00:00 Show Intro00:55 Trump Deadline Drama05:33 Markets Call the Bluff08:32 Pakistan Ceasefire Rumors12:22 Trump Two Week Pause16:20 Iran Ceasefire Terms19:15 Iran Statement Readout22:19 Civilian Targeting Critique29:01 Dollar Power and Blowback32:05 Scaling Gold Production32:52 Gold Moves on Rate Cuts35:14 Oil Prices vs Real Inflation37:32 War Risk Premium Sticks40:53 Weak Data and CPI Ahead44:57 Polls Signal Economic Pain50:49 Ditch Dollars Buy Metals52:44 Mining Stocks Next Leg55:33 FOIA Win IRS Fights Back01:03:29 Transparency Battle Wrap UpFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #IranCeasefire #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Oil hits $112 as Trump vows to bomb Iran into the Stone Age — and the jobs data everyone's celebrating is hiding a collapsing labor market. • Today’s podcasts is sponsored by Pebl. Go to http://hipebl.ai to get a free estimate. • Today’s podcast is also sponsored by West Red Lake Gold Mines. Ticker WRLGFPeter Schiff records from the British Virgin Islands, breaking down the latest economic data against the backdrop of the escalating Iran war. The March jobs report showed 178,000 jobs added — well above the 51,000 estimate — but Schiff argues the number is misleading, noting that 43% of new jobs were in healthcare, a sign of a sicker nation rather than a stronger economy. He highlights the weakest wage growth in five years at 3.5% year-over-year and the lowest labor force participation in five years at 61.9%.Oil prices surged to $112 per barrel amid Trump's pledge to "bomb Iran back to the Stone Age" over the next two to three weeks, with the service sector PMI falling into contraction at 49.8. Schiff warns that stagflation is now undeniable and that oil-driven inflation will force massive government spending and money printing, ultimately crushing the dollar and sending gold well above $5,000. He criticizes Trump's economic lies, the Supreme Court's ruling striking down Liberation Day tariffs as unconstitutional, Warren Buffett's Fed praise, and growing redemption freezes across investment funds as signs of a brewing financial crisis.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:54 Vacation Setup and Holiday Markets01:52 March Jobs Report Breakdown06:44 Stagflation Signals in PMI and JOLTS08:53 Oil Spike and Fed Policy Link17:02 Weekly Market Wrap Gold Silver Miners21:33 Trump Speech War Escalation Fears30:18 Aftermath Leaving Strait to Allies32:27 NATO Exit Debate33:39 Dollar Risks and Metals34:11 Springsteen Boycott Rant36:27 Liberation Day Reality Check37:47 Tariffs Ruled Unconstitutional40:52 Funds Freeze Redemptions43:39 Buffett on Inflation Targets47:05 Fed Enabled Covid Policy51:31 Trump Polls and Midterms57:55 Prepare and Buy Gold01:00:30 Podcast Wrap and TravelFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #OilPriceSurge #GoldInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Peter Schiff reviews a volatile week in markets, arguing gold and silver likely put in a bottom after briefly breaking prior lows and closing higher. He contrasts that with major stock indexes sliding deeper into correction territory, which he says could turn into a bear market if the war drags on. Schiff focuses on oil as the key driver, tying price spikes to bond selloffs, rising Treasury yields, and renewed inflation pressure.He criticizes shifting public messaging around the conflict and argues the economic and political costs will force an eventual endgame driven more by markets than diplomacy. Schiff also challenges the “Bitcoin as digital gold” narrative, pointing to Bitcoin’s weakness versus gold and warning of a sharper breakdown if key levels fail.He closes by framing larger deficits, money printing, and policy responses as structurally bullish for precious metals, while warning that higher yields and inflation could stress housing, stocks, and the dollar.Chapters:00:00 Gold and Silver Bottom01:12 War Headlines Whipsaw05:13 Fed Rates vs Inflation05:59 Stocks Slide Into Correction10:22 War Costs and Deficits12:15 Bitcoin Safe Haven Myth13:47 Oil Yields and Bonds16:38 Bitcoin Mortgages Risk20:05 Dollar Weakness and Politics30:33 Buy Gold and Wrap UpFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff💰 Get more gold & silver now: https://www.schiffgold.com☎️ 1-888-GOLD-160 (465-3160)🟡 Open a T Gold account: https://www.tgold.com💰 Open a managed account: https://europac.com🔊 Listen to The Peter Schiff Show: https://schiffradio.com▶️ Follow the main channel: https://youtube.com/peterschiff#gold #inflation #oilpricesOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismisses questions about how America will pay for a $200 billion war with Iran, claiming "we have plenty of money"—but Peter Schiff exposes the dangerous delusion behind deficit spending and reveals how import/export prices are already screaming inflation that will dwarf anything under Biden.- Sponsored by Function. Visit https://www.functionhealth.com/peter or use gift code PETER25 for a $25 credit toward your membership- Sponsored by Grammarly. Download Grammarly for free at http://grammarly.comPeter Schiff exposes the Trump administration's reckless war financing, revealing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's shocking dismissal of questions about paying for a $200 billion Iran War appropriation. When pressed on funding sources, Bessent called the question "ridiculous" and claimed America has "plenty of money" despite $39 trillion in debt, ruling out tax increases while offering no spending cuts. Schiff argues this proves the biggest threat to America isn't Iran but Washington's own fiscal irresponsibility, as the war becomes a convenient scapegoat for the massive inflation already baked into the economy from Trump's policies.The episode reveals Trump's market manipulation through contradictory Truth Social posts - issuing ultimatums that crash markets, then announcing "great progress" in negotiations that reverse the moves, with suspicious large trades placed minutes before his reversal posts. Meanwhile, import/export prices exploded 16.8% and 19.6% annualized in February alone, signaling the inflation tsunami coming in 2026. Schiff also delivers major legal updates: his civil rights lawsuit against the IRS conspiracy was dismissed with prejudice, but he won a crucial FOIA battle forcing the government to release hundreds of redacted pages that could expose massive corruption at the highest levels of multiple government agencies.Chapters:00:00 — Cold Open and Intro00:56 — War Funding and Taxes09:12 — Debt Inflation and Sacrifice11:09 — Credibility and Market Moves14:39 — Ultimatums and Market Whiplash18:33 — Gold Silver and Real Rates31:30 — Taco Pattern and War Spin33:44 — Ceasefire Demands and Stalemate35:46 — Oil Fertilizer and Aftermath Risks36:53 — Strategic Stockpiling Surge38:31 — Mortgage Demand Cracks41:20 — Import Export Prices Signal Inflation46:48 — War As Inflation Scapegoat50:03 — Euro Pacific Bank Legal Fight52:28 — Civil Rights Case Dismissed59:29 — FOIA Lawsuit Breakthrough1:01:17 — Redactions Reveal Conspiracy1:06:56 — Courts And Government Accountability1:15:43 — Gold Silver Final Pitch#GoldInvesting #IranWar #InflationCrisisOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
