Economist-strategist David Woo says investors are mis-pricing everything: Trump’s soon-to-be revived tariff war, China’s rare-earth dominance, and an AI bubble that’s ripe to burst. Betting on U.S. equities while ignoring these risks, he argues, is the fastest way to get burned.

In this explosive interview with Maggie Lake, Woo explains why:

Economist Steve Hanke says a U.S. recession is almost inevitable, and warns that the Fed, Wall Street, and Donald Trump are all looking in the wrong direction. In this sharp, wide-ranging interview with James Connor, he explains why ignoring money supply is a fatal flaw in today’s policy and why the economy may be headed for a major contraction.

Hanke also unpacks global warning signs: deflation in China, collapsing demand, rising youth unemployment, and geopolitical chaos, all while markets remain near all-time highs akin to the early 2000s dot-com bubble.

Key Topics:

• Why Steve thinks there’s an 80 to 90% chance of a U.S. recession

• Why Powell is ignoring money supply growth, and why it matters

• China’s economic weakness and deflation

• The weaponization of the dollar and its global fallout

• Why the stock market looks like the early 2000s dot-com bubble

• Bond market concerns and real yields rising

• U.S. defense spending: “a black hole” fueling endless war

• Still bullish on gold, and how to track sentiment

• Market vs. macro disconnect: Buffett’s caution is a clue

Economist and strategist Simon Hunt lays out a bold, non-consensus vision of the years ahead, and it’s nothing short of a global reset. In this gripping interview with Maggie Lake, Simon reveals why the U.S. is already in recession, why inflation is far worse than reported, and how a geopolitical escalation with Iran could accelerate the collapse of Western economic dominance.

He explains how the BRICS nations are preparing a gold-backed system, why global supply chains are shifting, and why AI-powered factories in China are reshaping global economic power. Plus, he shares what investors must do now to prepare before the system breaks by 2028.

Description:

Windrock Wealth Management’s Chris Casey joins Trey Reik to deliver a stark warning: the new budget bill is being dangerously misunderstood, and it could unleash a fiscal and market crisis. With U.S. debt surpassing $37 trillion and deficits exceeding $2 trillion, Casey explains why 2025 may be the year the financial reckoning finally goes mainstream, and how investors may be blindsided by a triple threat: rising interest rates, a looming recession, and inflation.

Key takeaways:

– Why the new tax bill worsens debt and misses spending reform

– What happens when markets realize the U.S. can’t repay its debt

– Why 2025 could trigger a surge in interest rates

– How gold, silver, and crypto may protect you

– The danger of trusting government forecasts
