Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Darrell to break down the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States and the potential global economic fallout. Macgregor argues that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten a significant portion of the world’s oil supply, with cascading effects for global markets, the petrodollar system, and geopolitical alliances. The conversation explores the limits of U.S. military power, Iran’s missile strategy, the risks of regime change narratives, and why the energy shock from this conflict could send oil prices dramatically higher.

Patrick Karim of NorthStar & BadCharts joins Darrell to break down the technical outlook across oil, equities, and precious metals. Patrick explains why investors should ignore headlines and focus on chart structure, highlighting a potential breakout forming in Exxon, the dangers of chasing stretched commodities, and why oil, silver, and gold may need time to consolidate before their next major move.

Today on the show, Darrell is joined by Todd “Bubba” Horwitz to break down the current state of global markets. Bubba argues that recent spikes in crude oil are driven more by fear than fundamentals, warns that U.S. equities are dangerously overvalued, and outlines why a major correction may be ahead. The conversation explores inflation, government debt, Social Security sustainability, and the role of hard assets in protecting wealth.

Today on the show, Doomberg is here alongside host Darrell to analyze the rapidly escalating geopolitical tensions surrounding the U.S.–Iran conflict and what it could mean for global markets, energy supply chains, and political stability. Doomberg outlines why the closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger cascading effects across oil markets, food supply, and global financial systems, while also highlighting the broader strategic roles of China and Russia in the unfolding crisis.

Optimism across the metals and mining sector is running high but seasoned investor Brien Lundin cautions that volatility is likely to remain a defining feature of this bull market. In this conversation, Brien breaks down the historical parallels between today’s gold cycle and the 1970s, why sharp pullbacks are normal within a long-term uptrend, and why mining equities still have significant upside despite record metals prices. The discussion also explores how developers are financing projects in today’s market, and the emerging role of tokenized gold in bridging physical assets with digital markets.

Pascal Lottaz joins Darrell to unpack the geopolitical forces reshaping the global order and what they mean for investors. The conversation explores the breakdown of the post–Cold War system, rising great-power competition, the weaponization of trade and sanctions, and why central banks are accumulating gold as trust between nations erodes.

Christopher Aaron of iGold Advisor joins Darrell to break down what he believes is a generational turning point in the gold market. Using 130 years of Dow-to-gold ratio data, Christopher argues that the recent structural split between equities and precious metals signals the beginning of a multi-year revaluation cycle. He outlines why gold above $20,000 is mathematically consistent with prior cycles, why silver’s 45-year breakout could fuel a move into the $200–$300 range, and why gold miners remain historically undervalued relative to the broader stock market.

George Gammon joins Darrell to unpack what may be one of the most misunderstood macro environments in decades. From recession signals in the labor market to disinflation versus inflation, from M2 money mechanics to the myth of foreign Treasury dumping, George walks step-by-step through the plumbing of the financial system.

Peter Spina of GoldSeek.com joins Darrell to break down the accelerating global bull market in gold and silver, the structural cracks forming in the U.S. monetary system, and why central banks and Western retail investors are finally waking up. Spina outlines why this cycle looks fundamentally different from 2008–2011, and why he believes the physical market is overpowering paper suppression.
