    Gold is about to hit $5,000 per ounce. Silver is over $100 per ounce. Copper is at all time highs. And so on.Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is in legal crosshairs... DOGE is practically non-existent, barely putting a debt in U.S spending... and the US is adding $1 trillion in new debt every 71 days.What is happening?The world's largest economy, larger than the 2nd, 3rd, and 4rth largest economies combined is choosing to "run it hot"... meaning large-scale fiscal spending, aggressive monetary easing, snatching natural resources even by military means, investing directly in companies/ strategic assets and running over anyone that gets it its way.This is the Trump Doctrine... and it has MASSIVE implications for investors who don't want to see their capital evaporate (the $USD has lost over 10% since Trump took office).This week, world renowned investment strategist Graham Summers, MBA dives into these topics, providing specific insights on which assets will perform best in this environment and which will be left in the dust.Support the showThanks for listening!

    Two Trillion Dollar Phone Calls: One That Happened and One That Didn't

    This was a week of trillion dollar phone calls: one that happened and one that didn't.The trillion dollar phone call that did take place was between President Trump of the United States and President Xi Jinping of China. That phone call occurred Thursday and concerned global trade, China's exporting of rare earth minerals, and U.S. accusations that China had violated the initial trade deal announced between the two nations on May 12, 2025. The trillion dollar phone call that didn't take place was between President Trump and former advisor and close confidant Elon Musk. The two men had a very dramatic falling out this week over the President's Big Beautiful Bill, with things getting EXTREMELY ugly: at one point shares in Musk's company Tesla (TSLA) collapsed over 15% in a single day to which Musk responded by suggesting the President should be impeached and the U.S. form a new political party that actually supports the will of the people. Musk has since stated he'd like to talk with the President, but the latter isn't interested. And so that particular trillion dollar phone call has yet to happen.This week our host Graham Summers, MBA delves into these developments in detail, expanding on the impact they will have on both the economy and the stock market. Graham also notes some major developments in the financial system that give us clues as to where the big opportunities lie going forward. Put simply, this week was not just about trade and Tesla, but much BIGGER things developing that  investors need to know!

    Is the US About to Enter a Debt Crisis?
