Are investors missing the most important macro shift in decades? In this must-watch interview, Julien Garran of the MacroStrategy Partnership joins Trey Reik to explain why the market has completely misread the economic agenda of the Trump 2.0 administration. Behind the headlines and media noise lies the “Real Trump Trade”, a radical restructuring of U.S. economic policy aimed squarely at reversing two generations of blue-collar decline.

Are Trump’s dramatic tariffs simply a negotiation tactic rather than an intentional trade war? Marko Papic, Chief Strategist at BCA Research, joins Maggie Lake for a critical conversation explaining why markets have misunderstood Trump’s tariff policy from the beginning and what deeper macroeconomic risks investors should actually be focused on. Key Topics: How Trump has used extreme tariff threats as leverage, and why markets repeatedly fall for it What the rise of a multipolar world means for global markets and U.S. economic power The hidden but urgent risk investors are overlooking: a recession where bond yields stay high, undermining traditional market safety nets Why U.S. market outperformance is coming to an end as fiscal stimulus runs dry, exposing vulnerabilities investors aren’t ready for Marko’s bold call: why the U.S. dollar is at risk of a 30% decline, and how investors should reposition globally If today’s chaotic headlines have you concerned about markets, geopolitics, or the next big risk for your investments, this conversation is essential viewing.

In Part II of our in-depth interview with renowned investor Lawrence Lepard, Trey Reik continues the conversation to explore why Larry believes gold stocks are poised for explosive upside, and why a looming sovereign debt crisis will force central banks back into money printing, an event he calls “The Big Print.” In this episode: The mining companies Larry believes could deliver asymmetric returns How he structures his portfolio across producers, developers, and drillers The valuation disconnect between gold prices and mining equities, and the key metrics he uses for valuing them Why silver miners may offer even more leverage and upside than gold miners Larry’s take on geopolitical risk, and why he sees overlooked opportunity in regions like Africa Whether rising tariffs could trigger the next global market event Later, Brett Rentmeester of Windrock Wealth joins the conversation to reflect on Larry’s interview, offering a portfolio manager’s view on the role of physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin in protecting capital in today’s fragile macro environment. Brett also discusses why gold miners have lagged the metal itself, and whether that disconnect is about to change.

Are the U.S. and global markets on the edge of a massive regime change? In this high-impact Part II, The Bear Traps Report founder and bestselling author Larry McDonald shares with James Connor a dire warning: U.S. sanctions and Trump’s tariffs are forcing global central banks to ditch U.S. treasuries for gold, the dollar is entering a structural decline, and a coming economic slowdown could pull the S&P 500 down to the low 4,000s. He breaks down where capital is headed and why gold, silver, oil, and emerging markets will be the big winners. Then, Rocklinc’s Jonathan Wellum shares his thoughts on Larry’s interview and his firm’s portfolio strategy. He explains why he holds nearly 30% cash, favors investing in royalty companies over miners, and avoids European exposure in favor of select value stocks. The conversation also tackles reshoring, structural inflation, Trump’s likely economic pivot, and what investors should do now to prepare.

While we value and appreciate the insights shared by our esteemed guests, they are to be viewed as personal opinions and not as investment advice or recommendations from Wealthion. These opinions should not replace your own due diligence or the advice of a professional financial advisor. We strongly encourage all of our audience members to seek out the guidance of a financial advisor who can provide advice based on your individual circumstances and financial goals. Wealthion has a distinguished network of advisors who are available to guide you on your financial journey. However, should you choose to seek guidance elsewhere, we respect and support your decision to do so. The world of finance and investment is intricate and diverse. It's our mission at Wealthion to provide you with a variety of insights and perspectives to help you navigate it more effectively. We thank you for your understanding and your trust.
