The conversation frames the government shutdown as a sign of deepening dysfunction and expanding surveillance that threatens personal freedoms, leading into a broader discussion on crisis preparedness, global tensions, and even relocating to places like Puerto Rico for tax advantages and strategic safety despite natural-disaster risks. Kerry and Lobo also break down the strength in gold and silver—steady bullion, rising mining stocks, and silver pushing toward a firmer price base—while warning against buying at peaks and pointing to opportunities where fundamentals are stronger than current prices. They close by examining global power shifts, from China's naval rise to de-globalization and de-dollarization, arguing that market turbulence ahead could offer the best openings for disciplined investors.
