America’s ‘6 Trials by Fire’: $40 Trillion Debt, CBDCs & Crisis That Began in 1971 | Kevin Freeman

Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Kevin Freeman – CFA, bestselling author and host of Economic War Room – to break down what Freeman calls America’s “Six Trials by Fire.”Freeman argues today’s economic instability didn’t begin recently, but in 1971, when the United States abandoned the gold standard, setting off decades of debt expansion, monetary experimentation, and growing systemic risk.From a nearly $40 trillion national debt to the rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Freeman explains how monetary policy has evolved into a national security issue and why sound money may become central to preserving financial freedom.The discussion explores constitutional money, transactional gold and silver, global challenges to the U.S. dollar, and the long-term consequences of financialization on wealth inequality and economic stability.In this episode of Little by Little:- The “Six Trials by Fire” facing America- Why 1971 changed the global monetary system- $40 trillion debt and risks to the dollar- CBDCs and digital financial control- Constitutional gold and transactional sound money- Wealth inequality and monetary policy consequences- Why Freeman believes the crisis is unfolding nowFollow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Kevin Freeman on X: https://x.com/KevinDFreemanX👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
