Trump Treasury & Fed Will Run it Hot in 2026 – Craig Hemke
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Financial writer, market analyst and precious metals expert Craig Hemke predicted at the beginning of 2024 that the US would add a whopping $2 trillion in debt. It did. At the beginning of 2025, Hemke predicted the US dollar would take a big hit. It did, and record high gold and silver prices score Hemke another bullseye. At the beginning of 2026, Hemke is predicting the Trump Treasury and Fed are going to put the pedal to the metal in running the economy. Hemke explains, “Japan had yield curve control for years. They have taken it off, and interest rates have skyrocketed. This is where we are heading in the US. In May, Trump is going to appoint a ‘yes man’ to the Fed. He’s going to replace (Jay) Powell, who will work with Scott Bessent (Treasury Secretary) and do his bidding and meld operations together. Why would they need to do that? Because they are going to run it hot. Remember, it was austerity a year ago. DOGE was going to cut $2 trillion in spending. They were going to balance the budget and all that kind of stuff. They quickly figured out that dog was not going to hunt. Now, it’s all about growing our way out of this. Scott Bessent was on TV this weekend saying we are going to grow fast enough that the interest expense, which is around 6% of GDP, is going back down to 3% of GDP. They think they can grow GDP that fast. They are going to grow GDP that fast by Trump’s ‘yes man’ cutting the short end, and if interest rates on the long end start going higher because of the inflation that it’s going to cause, they are going to come back in with yield curve control here in the US. They have done this before after World War II, and they are going to do it again as soon as this year. That is the most bullish thing that can happen for gold and silver. This is also why gold and silver have been rallying so strongly in the last 24 months.”
Hemke predicts gold will hit at least $6,000 per ounce, and silver will easily hit $130 per ounce in 2026. The industrial demand for silver is not going to let up anytime soon.
Also, central bank demand is going to continue. Hemke contends, “Two weeks after the start of the Ukraine war, the US kicked Russia out of the SWIFT system and froze its foreign currency reserves. That sparked, at the same time, global central bank gold demand that has run record buying for four years in a row. It started in 2022. Countries looked around and said, ‘Wow, if we get sideways with the US, they will do the same thing to us.’ So, they started selling their Treasuries and dollar reserves and started buying gold. There were record amounts in 2022, 2023, 2024 and another big year in 2025 for physical gold buying by central banks. We just got news today that the Polish central bank is buying another 150 metric tons of gold. They are building their gold holding to 700 metric tons. So, this global central bank demand is underpinning gold.”
In closing, Hemke says, “The Fed is saying they are going to cap interest rates. The Fed is going to be a buyer of 10-year Treasury notes at let’s say 4%. . .. With locking in rates while inflation is up there, you will have negative real interest rates. The most bullish factor for gold prices are negative real interest rates. That’s the path, and that’s where the US is headed. It will be yield curve control.”

In this explosive Wednesday edition of Take FiVe, prophetic voice Julie Green joins Pastor Dave to deliver a heavy but confirming word from the Lord. Julie reveals the identity of the “Great White Wolf” as JD Vance—a deep state plant positioned next to President Trump with plans to sabotage his second term. Drawing from her Saturday prophetic word (released Monday), earlier warnings about ravenous wolves influencing the VP pick, and confirmations from generals and other prophetic voices, they discuss betrayal in high places, including ties to secret societies like Bilderberg, sabotage attempts (e.g., Air Force One issues), poisoning threats, and a wolf pack of high-ranking officials.

Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed. I know you know this: HE will prevail.
I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23
The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it. Jeremiah 23:20
AA,
Speaking of betrayal in high places read the latest message from Martin Armstrong:
“Newly released emails” show that that Evil Anthony Fauci “KNEW that Natural Immunity was More Effective” than the COVID vaccine and its deadly side effects!!!
Armstrong says: “If you want to understand how the modern world is collapsing, you have to Stop Pretending the COVID Campaign was ever purely about Health”. COVID was not simply a virus, it was a Kill Shot Stress Test inflicted upon Society (“to see how quickly Governments Could Suspend Freedom, Destroy Commerce, and Demand Submission”) while all along pretending their Murder Campaign was justified “TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE”, when in fact our Government was purposely murdering Millions so the money saved on Social Security Payouts could then be given to the Millions of illegals they were letting into the US to DESTROY OUR NATION!!!

In 1973, David Wilkerson delivered what would become one of his most referenced and controversial messages, later known as The Vision. Speaking with pastoral urgency rather than sensationalism, Wilkerson warned that Western society was entering a period of moral collapse marked by financial instability, rising lawlessness, sexual confusion, and a church drifting toward compromise. He described economic shaking that would expose false security, alongside a culture increasingly hostile to biblical truth.

His death was a surprise to me and the manner of it. He also said that the fall of the world economy would start with Japan. I find it interesting that Japan has changed there interest rate after almost I think 30 years.

Today the US Mint priced an ounce of silver at $170.
True and false. The US Mint is selling on their webpage collectible proof silver coins and medals. That is why it is so expensive. Dealers like Melody sell bullion. Big difference. Don’t buy from the mint because when you sell, for the most part, you will get less than the current bullion spot. (Some US Mint collectibles do quite well in the secondary market, but very rarely.)
East,
Not true. This is a common 2023 Silver Eagle at usmint.gov: https://www.usmint.gov/american-eagle-2023-one-ounce-silver-uncirculated-coin-23EG.html
$169.00 is the price. Something is very wrong and the mint know it.
Greg
Perhaps we have an issue with semantics regarding the word uncirculated. The US Mint does not sell bullion to the public. It is only sold to authorized dealers. The link you showed is for a “collectible” uncirculated ASE. Coin dealers/collectors call them “burnished” to distinguish them from regular uncirculated bullion eagles. They come in very nice packaging with a certificate of authenticity. Check any major coin dealer or ask Melody or Craig Hemke, you can buy bullion American Silver Eagles for around $110 if paying by check. More if by credit card. Why the mint is charging so much for collectible coins is another discussion. But my main point here is to offer hope to people that they can still buy silver eagles for a lot less from authorized dealers than from the mint. Unless you are an American Silver Eagle collector don’t buy from the mint. Get more silver for the dollar from a dealer.
East,
That’s not true. The US Mint sells to the public.
Greg
Hi Greg, you are right, the US Mint does sell to the general public collectible coins which are very expensive. But the coins I am referring to are the bullion silver eagles they only sell to authorized dealers. Here is the link to the US Mints website. https://www.usmint.gov/coin-programs/bullion-coins/ By all means let the Christian Patriots know they don’t need to over spend their money for US Mint silver and gold on the mints website.
Thanks
Rast,
This is an incredible spread that has never been seen before. This coin you are seeing is a nothing burger. “Uncirculated”??!! Every new coin you get from the mint is “uncirculated.”
Greg
Greg,
He is saying there is a difference between uncirculated limited production coins and bullion coins like Melody sells. There are no bullion silver eagles shown currently on US mint
Thanks Mr Hunter and Mr Hemke.
A shocking interview .
Another shocking interview where our government here in the UK are trying to shut down Elon Musk’s X because he has had an inconvenient analysis of Britain’s Grooming Gangs connection to the 911 atrocity and the 77 bombing in London. With tax fraud feeding into this as well while the government agencies were told to look the other way whilst £8Billions were fed to terrorists and specifically £80Millions being given to Bin Laden whilst hiding in his eerie. MI6 seemingly knew. No wonder President Trump is furious with the British establishment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdYx3jVl-OE
The collapse of the Euro and the British Pound is inevitable along with their Bonds and owning Stock will NOT save you, flee!
Mr Bassent, Treasury Secretary of the USA, assured in his appointment before Congress nearly a year ago, assured Congress that President’s Trump policy was to “run a hot economy” and we wonder why “fiscal responsibility” has gone with a Treasury Secretary presenting his boss’s scenario of a hot economy before a bunch of spendthrifts. However compared to Europe and the UK the USA Congress are the most virtuous of restrained spending.
Interesting interview Greg with some explanations and observations on the economy and markets etc. Prescious metals have been held back to be able to Print Print Print fiat into existence at will…for a long long time now.
I recall DOGE uncovered tons of waste and outright fraud with one area that had several of their own printing machines with ability to Print Money at will and or more likely the ability to Digitize Monet into existence…counterfeit really…no one has been held to account…Bondi has to get busy on it and in many of the other areas where the Swamp remains to be drained with accountability instead of doing TeeVee spots with stern verbiage !
I’ll tell you what though, the growing stack through the years has been in allocated storage and is making me smile, especially when I’ve heard the criticisms likening Gold and Silver to just being “rocks” yielding no returns. They offer peace of mind through thousands of years of proven reliability world wide…the Genie is back out of the bottle in face of the heavy PRINTING and DIGTIZERS. So very glad I’ve been stacking for years, Silver especially is vindicated.
The Only problem now is, what to do with all of the money 😂
Pray up folks and God Bless
“The Only problem now is, what to do with all of the money”
Help someone less fortunate.
Silver run “ Help someone less fortunate”
Yes, and the more I help others to succeed, the more I succeed.
I haven’t liquidated my holdings because it is way too early. Keeping an eye on GSR through the expectations of pullbacks that we will most definitely have.
BTW, Has anyone heard from our man Stan? He might be suicidal at his catastrophic opportunity losses….
Regarding Stan on his “…catastrophic opportunity losses”
Indeed, especially for those like him who have been consistently wrong and who have been SHORTING Au and Ag…OUCH!
Cheers
I am here and doing fine but furious. I threw my 65 inch Vizio out of the window when I could not stand watching the Silver price anymore. Then I smashed it with a baseball bat. So yes, I am angry and ready to rip someone’s head off. Parabolics like this always end in a spectacular crash. History is on my side. However, it is incredibly frustrating waiting for these metals to turn down for the final crash.
Stan, it isn’t too late to protect your finances with Physical Real Money in Ag and Au.
The BEST is yet to come.
Pray up! Choose Life!
Live in the word in Almighty Jesus name, Amen!
Solar will start having problems when silver goes over $120, EV at around $150, electronics at $200 and defense at infinity.
I will start shorting solar at $110 and unload my paper silver (PSLV) at around $150.
Greg, since this interview, EU leaders are getting nasty about President Trump’s plan to acquire Greenland. Denmark is selling their U.S. treasuries. Other countries are threatening to follow suit.
All hell will break loose if President Trump cannot make a deal. According to Martin Armstrong, EU leaders are not very bright. Greenland will be so much better off economically with U.S. control. Denmark has done very little to help Greenland. Further if China and Russia get control, the world will be at risk. It appears that the EU is willing to take the risk.
Perhaps Craig would be willing to come back for a followup, or Martin Armstrong. Linda
Add’l comment: After NATO chief, Rute, and President Trump reached a “framework” regarding Greenland today (1.21.26) stocks have shot up. Linda
Greg,
Craig Hemke is probably right about the Banks (that are Short Silver) Not Having a Big Problem closing out their Short Positions. Because although they sold Silver short at $25 dollars, the Money Supply has increased 5 times since they put on their short position (so effectively, their Breakeven Point is actually $125 dollars)!! SO THE BANKS ARE STILL “IN THE MONEY” IF THEY CLOSE OUT THEIR SILVER SHORT POSITIONS ANYWHERE UNDER “ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER OUNCE”!!!
And,
If Trump RUNS THINGS HOT (like Hemke says he plans to do) and doubles the Money Supply in 2026 – then the Banks Short Position “Breakeven Point” rises to $250 Dollar Silver!!!
BREAKING NEWS: Germany’s Merz Admits to “A Serious Strategic Mistake”!! The most Crucial Economy within Europe was Sabotaged by US Neocons – When Biden (with Scholz at his side) Stated: “I promise you”, “We Will Do It” (Blow Up the Nord Stream Pipeline)!! And the US Neocons Hailed the Destruction of the Pipeline and Germany (As a Victory??)!!! Even 4D Trump (who many still say is not a Neocon) was in Favor of the Destruction of the Nord Stream Pipeline saying: “Russian imported energy would spell disaster … as Germany would be totally controlled by Russia”! The Neocons probably figured that Destroying their Ally Germany (and effectively the rest of Europe) “Was Well Worth It” (as it would Strengthen the US Dollar)!! These mindless Politicians and Neocons have absolutely No Understanding of how the World Really Works (Hey, Neocons: Breaking the Trust of Your Allies MAKES THEM YOUR ENEMY)!!! And, Now You See Europe Joining with China (and effectively Russia) “AGAINST THE US”!!! https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202410/11/content_WS6708a889c6d0868f4e8ebb1b.html AND SOCRATES IS STILL PREDICTING THE US WILL BREAK-UP!!!
It is easy for me to imagine what the EU will do next (if Trump keeps pushing), the EU will Simply join BRICS!!! However the Neocons and 4DTrump may have difficulty figuring this out, until it happens!!!
Yep, what did the red Queen say? Oh , yeah, “ Off with their heads”

Gold is tier one capital. Silver shall become tier one capital, too. And when it does, silver will no longer be “a poor man’s money”. Copper will once again fulfill that role of a poor man’s money – just like copper coins have done for thousands of years in the past.
Regarding Silver: Marty Armstrong said it best: “Silver has entered a perfect storm”. Meaning that Silver is, and is going to be, in a severe shortage for years to come. Silver is going to be one of the tangible asset that makes the transition into a new world paradigm shift happening from now going into 2032.
All of you who didn’t listen and get you some silver, really missed the trade of a lifetime. I hope that you stockpile some food, water and emergency supplies, because you’re going to need it. And most importantly, I hope that you and I can stockpile spritual silver and gold in Heaven.
“Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Jesus Christ
Where our heart is is the most important thing. Ask: When the Saints come marching in, will we be in that number? Our figurative heart will determine our everlasting future when Kingdom Come. And none of the secular goldbugs really understand Kingdom Come. Secular men whose business is business, finance, credit and money rarely understand spritual treasure. It’s harder for a secular man to understand spritual treasure than it is for a camel to pass the eye of a needle.
WW3 comes with all of the ghastly weapons of mass destruction along with it, then Kingdom Come and Jesus Christ will come marching in to save his sheep, i.e., all those who have listened to His voice and stored true treasure in Heaven are truly His sheep.
Silver cannot be tier one since its industrial nature. It could be a strategic metal but not monetary.
Silver is already defacto tier one capital in India where a billion people can now legally use it as bank collateral. And banks must legally accept it and hold it on deposit as such.
Silver’s utilitarian value is one of the very reasons it shall be propelled back to a level of public confidence that real money requires.
Really,
Very good point. Thanks for making it here.
Greg
India has taken a step toward the broader financial recognition of silver — updating guidelines that formally include silver as eligible collateral for “SMALL” loans under new Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lending rules set to take effect in April 2026. While not a formal valuation ratio, the policy sets collateral eligibility at “10 kilograms of silver versus 1 kilogram of gold”!!
Silver is not officially a Tier one capital in India. RBI would likely lose whole lot of gold with that 10-to-1 gold-silver ratio in the international market.
The purpose of having Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital as reserves, in the banking industry is to ensure that they can absorb large losses without threatening the stability of the institution. Having a highly in demand industrial metal as a Tier 1 reserve will create instability rather than stability.
Dude
Reread the law. They are taking up to 1kg gold OR 10kg silver as collateral. There is nothing linking value of 1kg of gold to that of 10kg of silver.
Then look at the maximum loan amounts…
Which law?
Btw, did you buy HYMC? – up 627% in the past 3 months, 100% in the past month.
I started buying USAS instead of HYMC recently – up 131% in the past 3 months, 63% in the past months.
USAS and HYMC are almost one in the same. The main difference is that Eric Sprott didn’t buy millions of USAS.
Come to think of it, India has a large trade deficit due to the Indians’ high demand for gold. The 10:1 ratio is likely not an attempt to push silver price higher to $500/oz but a desperate attempt to pus gold price lower to $1000/oz.
“It could be a strategic metal but not monetary.”
Thanks for the tip. I’m throwing away all my pre-1965 Silver dimes, quarters and half dollars. And all my Morgan Silver Dollars too!
Too funny, Cheri!!!!!
Greg
Well, a strategic metal should be used strategically instead of throwing it away by randomly selling it under spot price now.
I repeat what I’d stated previously: I’d keep the gold until I can spend it in ounce. I’d sell the silver when the price is right in terms of dollar.
“My minimum price target for silver is $650 with the potential for silver go be much, much higher. I still say that siver is the most undervalued asset on the planet” ~ Gregory Mannarino
Yes, Gregory, you get it. You were one of the few to understand just how far up silver has to go. And you stacked a big, big pile of silver to back up your talk.
Decades ago best selling author, Robert J Ringer told me, “Gold to infinity”.
Yes. one day gold shall go to infinitely as the U.S. debt goes to dust. The goldbugs have always known it, but their timing was way off. The goldbugs were decades too early in calling out the death of the dollar. Now, finally, Gold’s time has come. Gold has finally begun its journey on the road to infinity.
I say that you and I won’t like the world where silver reaches $650 and gold goes down the road to infinity and beyond.
Prepare accordingly.
I have gold and silver. I will keep the gold until the very end. Silver, on the other hand, I will sell it when the price (in dollar) is right.
Tin foil hat,
I believe you are the most correct. But never go back to dollars! Silver is to spend, gold to save. Jim Sinclair always said that silver would go back down and Lynette Zang proved this in her latest piece showing that after the hyperinflation in Germany, silver/gold ratio went right back to 100 to 1. I was flabbergasted. This may take a few years. In that time you have to survive — spending silver while it is still valuable AND going up. After 10:1 arrives, turn the rest into gold. The gold will also go down because of the overshoot but will still be money and “up there.”
Even though I believe the dollar is dying but I suspect it likely would still be around for another 5-10 years before the reset.
Come to think of it, none of this really matters since I just kind of figure out the meaning of the “Simple Explanation of the Most Notorious Experiment | Double Slit and Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser”.
I now believe the concept of the multiple universes/multiverse is real and can be manifested in light waves in the Double Slit Experiment; light particle reveals the UNI-verse which can be explained via Schrodinger’s Cat Box quantum physics paradox.
In the experiment, light doesn’t decide rather it should reveal itself in the forms of wave or particle. When undisturbed, the light is merely demonstrating 0 AND 1 (Schrodinger’s cat in the box).
However, if you take a picture of the light in the double slit experiment, you arrest the light which can now only show itself in either 1 OR 0 – the Schrodinger’s box is opened.
Basically, filming the light is like opening the box with the cat. The light has no choice but to show you what you can see in an universe (light as particle) – cat in the box is either dead or alive.
Tin Foil Hat,
So the cat will actually be dead and you see it as alive. You will end up eating the cat either way.
stick with the silver and gold.
I know, you are right, even ChatGPT refuses to entertain my hypothesis regarding the Schrodinger’s Cat Box and Double Slit Experiment.
I guess it really doesn’t matter anyway. As long as the music is playing, we’ve got to get up and dance.
Well, sticking to the topic of gold and silver, we still need to spend cash in dollar until the reset. Hence, you have to invest/earn dollar to avoid prematurely selling your physical gold or silver.

Commodity expert Michael Oliver called for Silver at $70 at the end of 2025, on Dec 31, 2025 it was $72.00. He stated he expects at the very least for Silver at $200 or probably up to $300-$500 in the first two quarters of 2026 (by June 2026). He said it is going vertical.
SR,

Beijing Biden’s masters sure ended meritocracy on the Supreme Court.
MisJustice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a buffoon. And ignorant cretin moved up through the court to fill an imaginary quota for black femails. This person isn’t qualified for traffic court yet Baboon Biden’s masters put her on the Supremes.

Well, in the last 30 days, Gold is up a little over 10% and Silver is up over 30%.
Doing a little math on deltaV, silver will be $150/troy oz by end of June. Just my 2 cents
What we are witnessing is the result of a decades long curse on the suppressors and manipulators of God’s Money… Curses tend to be severe and long lasting.
Al,
It’s also a fraud and in my experience “frauds end quickly”!
Greg
Hemke “Very Conservatively” predicts $130 Dollar Silver (when that price is simply what Silver should be “If It Remained Constant at $25 Dollars Per Ounce while the Money Supply Grew by 5 Times”!!! Meaning, that with the Huge Silver Shortage we are seeing in the World Hemke sees “SILVER ONLY REMAINING CONSTANT” (in purchasing power)??? How about we begin to think a Bit Less Conservative (ESPECIALLY “KNOWING” TRUMP IS ABOUT TO RUN THINGS HOT)!! “MEANING PRINT BABY PRINT”!!! I say, People should begin to assume that “Real Money” (like Gold for instance) can easily reach the “same price” as BITCON ($80,000 per ounce). So, what does that mean for the Price of Silver?? Well, during the Peak in Gold in the 1980’s (when Gold reached $800 dollars per ounce) Silver reached $50 dollars per ounce (or 6% of the Gold Price). Therefore, if Silver just goes to 6% of an $80,000 Dollar per ounce Gold Price (Silver should be selling for $4,800 Dollars per ounce)!!! With Silver at $125 Dollars per ounce (it has “NOT EVEN MOVED YET” from its $25 Dollar level (in terms of the US dollars purchasing power)!!!!
Also,
If Trump is going to “Run Things Hot” as Hemke says then Trump will tell the Fed to “PRINT BABY PRINT” and People better begin to DEMAND the the Consumer Price Index (CPI) be modified to keep pace with the PRINTING!!! If the Money Supply is Doubled our Salaries and Pensions like Social Security should ALSO DOUBLE!!!! NO MORE of this so called 2.5% Increase in our “Cost of Living Bullshit” – IF THE MONEY SUPPLY DOUBLES – OUR SALARY AND PENSIONS MUST ALSO DOUBLE (TO KEEP EVEN)!!!!
Katy,
If Trump doubles the Money Supply and just gives the American People a 2.5% Cost of Living Increase he is no better then Klaus Schwab (we will soon OWN NOTHING!!!). As for being Happy About It (only minds that have been brainwashed into thinking a Man is a Woman, or 2 + 2 = 5, or a steak is as good as a meal-worm hamburger “Will Be Jumping For Joy About Their Dire Situation”!!!
Katy
That’s not what they were going to do.
Greg
Where are you getting your information?
When Mr Hemke speaks, we should all listen! Many years of experience and knowledgeable of the markets and metals!
I never miss an interview with Craig!
Katy here again,
Hope I don’t sound like a broken record, but I’m trying to get across to people that buying Silver at $100 dollars per ounce IS CHEAPER THEN BUYING IT AT $25 DOLLARS PER OUNCE A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THE MONEY SUPPLY WAS 5 TIMES LESS (yet some people are selling their silver thinking they have made a profit when in fact they are selling at a loss)!!!
Katy here again,
Do you know the French word for money is: Argent (Literally meaning: Silver)!! Now if Silver “is Money” and Gold “is Money” (and 8 times more Silver is mined then Gold) then is it not very easy to calculate what the Silver price should be (8 times less then Gold)!! Now since Gold is currently selling for $4500 Dollars per ounce is it not obvious to everyone that Silver should “Right Now be selling for $562 Dollars per ounce!! And Not $300 Dollars per Ounce by Year End (as some are projecting)!!!!
Let me play devil’s advocate.
A consensus among precious metals analysts is that the silver price is volatile. We’ve not seen that yet, but may soon. If we assume massive unemployment across the world this year, what will be the long-term demand for silver-related products?
Rick Rule recently sold 80 percent of his physical silver. He was interviewed by Julia LaRoche on her YouTube channel about three days ago.
Matt,
Rick f’d up.
Greg
What I neglected to mention is that he placed the proceeds into silver miners. I think he’s expecting them to rise higher long-term.
Matt,
You are going to have to worry about nationalization of silver mines.
Greg

Will these be confiscated amid Trump’s declaration of a critical silver repository? It’s possible Rick Rule sold his silver bar inventory, noting silver’s volatility and Washington’s capacity for stealing one’s wealth. His remaining twenty percent may be stored overseas in Switzerland for all anyone knows.
Ricky boy left a lot of money on the table.
What did he replace it with? Stocks, zeroes and ones in a bank account?
Was he forced to because of option plays in other areas that required quick cash?
Need to look at his overall predictions because with the way things are going, IMHO he made a big error
In other words, DOGE was a scam and Trump is going to continue debt-spending more recklessly than the “Communists” Biden and Obama did.
I’ve been listening to RINO’s claim “we’re going to grow our way out of debt” since the 1980’s. It was a lie then and it’s a lie now.
Tommy,
It is time for the MAGA movement to come to a Decision on their Pirate-in-Chief 4D Trump who has succeeded in driving the EU into an Alliance with China!! Trump saying he needs Greenland to stop Russian Missiles that can be launched over the North Pole to hit America is a “bunch of bull” as Russia has Nuclear Powered Missiles that can fly over the South Pole and hit America coming in from South America. Seems a China, Russian, Iranian Axis was not strong enough to restrain the American Neocons. Now we will see if an EU, China, Russian, Iran Axis has the ability to put Some Restraints on the US Neocons!!!
TDS is a horrible thing.
It’s about resources. China and Russia are already angling for Greenland. And EU is not our friend or ally. On paper they are part of NATO which is a pox, a leech upon the taxpayers .
And who do you end up with an irrational hatred of Trump and the direction he is trying to point the country. We aren’t the world’s doormat anymore. We are working manifest destiny. We are rebuilding an economy…
Matthew 16:23. King James Version
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Dude,
We are bankrupt and have been for a while. The debt can’t be paid. Trump is attempting to keep us from a 90 deg impact at Mach 10 to something survivable.
Trump is trying to save America. Doge was to stop the Demons from funding our enemies with your and my tax dollars.
TDS is a horrible affliction
Tommy, I agree with you in principle. But they can’t do it, they can’t shrink the money supply that is. It has to forever grow, becoming exponential and then dies. It’s debt based. I think the goal is to redirect some of the scam money into productive uses and get things of value set up prior to the death of the dollar. It used to be the national debt doubled every 8 years, but it has gotten faster especially since covid. None of those guys wants to be the one holding the “Old Maid” when it comes to a stop- if you remember that card game.
Rising silver prices = prep smarter. With skyrocketing metals, don’t wait to stock up on silver-based health staples. We’ve added a topical silver gel to our home kit; this is the one we use: https://www.tm3united.com/en/us/jj/product/101440. Personal experience, not medical advice. We also love to talk about things like this. Speak with a real live human in the Heart of the Missouri Ozarks: 417-257-7799
Brother Kevin,
Keep hitting the talk to human customer service. Thanks for personally taking care of my SILVER GEL order too!!
Brother Greg
Katy here again,
Some analysts like Kirk Elliott are saying people should switch from Silver into Gold at the right moment!! What is that “right moment”? Only when Silver is selling at a price that is More then Eight (8) times the Gold Price!! For instance, say we have a big correction in the Gold Price, and it drops down to $2000 Dollars per ounce and Silver is selling for say $300 dollars per ounce (well since 8 times Silver is $2400 Dollars and Gold is only selling for $2,000 (THAT IS WHEN YOU MAKE THE SWITCH FROM SILVER INTO GOLD)!!!
Katy
You should have both at 10 AG to 1 AU.
Greg
Silver historically peaks about 6 months prior to gold.
Hitting the top of silver is almost impossible as when it peaks it usually busts by huge margins.
Sell silver a little at a time on the way up. Now is not the time. Probably in 2 or 3 years according to cycles.
As you deplete your silver holdings buy into gold as it is still going up but know you will not hold it very long.
Thanks for the analysis, Michael!!
Greg
Katy here again,
People may be asking: What about Platinum?? Well annually, only around 200 metric tons of Platinum is mined worldwide, in stark contrast to Gold (which sees about 3,000 metric tons produced each year). Meaning, Platinum is 15 times rarer then Gold and therefore should be selling 15 times higher then the price of Gold ($4,500 dollars per ounce) or $67,500 dollars per ounce of Platinum which is just a bit under BitCon)!!
You forget palladium which is rarer than platinum. Too much of a good thing (rarity) is not necessarily a good thing.
There is no where near the demand to drive platinum to those prices. Why not Rhodium ??
Because while rare, no demand
But hey, I hope you have some and I hope it does.
Silver is up over 300% in the last 12 months
Platinum is less than that.
Plus you can buy 29 oz of silver for a single Troy oz of platinum.
Rarity is one fact to determine price. Demand is the other.
I remember when platinum was much more expensive than gold. When the jewelry resized my parents platinum wedding bands, the jeweler actually paid my parents.
Katy,
You may be seeing something in Platinum I missed. It’s up $138 today. A much bigger increase than gold or silver
Katy here again,
So Finally In Conclusion: Silver is currently 5 times a better buy then Gold, and Platinum is a 3 times better buy then Silver!!!
Hi Katy,
Did you see down below? We have a super fan in Bobby Jay
I signed up again with Turd/Craig Hemke when he was on last time. Haven’t followed him for a few years but he’s a good analyst for sure. I enjoy his perspective and Greg’s as well. Bring on Jim Willie again and it’ll be like old times! 2026 is already shaping up to be the biggest year ever in PM’s.
Greg,
Curious why you only interview old white guys?
Michael,
I find the smartest people in the business. I don’t believe in DEI. (Diversity, Equity and INCOMPETENCE) The “old white guys” have been right and true. No Somali Dem fraud here.

About silver
to whomever it may concern:
The point I was trying to make about SILVER is that it is Cyclical unlike GOLD which is a constant. How do I know this? The silver/gold ratio cycles roughly between 1:1 and 100:1 and one must be aware of this before one judges silver to be a tier 1 asset. It will never happen!
The fact that it is cyclical compared to GOLD should tell you everything you need to know about the CONSTANT nature of GOLD as money. Even so, the clincher is the fact that at every one of these FIAT FAILURES, all money reconfigures (resets) to GOLD and not SILVER. Silver IS money but only when the poor man needs and his government allows. GOLD is money whether you and I like it or not. Neither government, the elite, the powers that be nor YOU or I can control GOLD as money.
Let me rephrase a famous quote if I might: GOLD is money; everything else is THEATER!!
Silver is having its time. And it is money so long as we are inflating. It is your spending vehicle, NOT your SAVINGS vehicle during this economic collapse. AND it will never be GOLD.
So to all of you wanting to know how to spend it once the collapse happens? You spend your silver and save your gold until the collapse is over. It may be too hard to do. But THAT is the plan.
Clare,
They suppressed mine production and price for 5 decades. You cannot see this on a chart. This is totally off the charts, and the supply is not going to fill the demand gap anytime soon.
Greg
I have offended noone but silver and it was unconsciously done. AGAsian Guy is AI; enough said.
Hey Greg, I’m glad to have been subscribed to USW.com for years now. Your research and majority of guests have been spot on about silver/gold price supression, the covid bio-weapon and how ivermectin and good nutritional products helped to block it’s effects, as well as weather geo engineering , et all. Those of us who heeded your warnings, did not fall for the clot shot and had due diligence in the prepping you suggested to our best of our ability and means, are feeling much safer in these trying times. I sometimes liken you to a voice in the wilderness. I love your closing comment of FEAR NOT. Thanks for all you do and have done.
Greg, this for people that can see little if anything is going to change soon enough to turn around much of what is coming. People pray, people pump hopeium, and as POTUS DJT shows the world the swamp and changes needed…the footdragging will continue…the struggles to get to positive change…will likely continue by ‘the resistors’ who only seek power and control by ‘thier’ parties. Meanwhile as the assualt on ranchers and farmers continues…all should be mindful and responsible and accountable to one’s own self, family, community for their safety, health, warmth, and nutrition as the supply chains continue to be contested.

As for the ‘fentanyl ‘ problem in the U,S.,, it appears there is more of CARNEY’S Canada being as big or larger supplier, actually a HUB of the shipments of illegal drugs around the world, including into the U.S. So, no surprise Canada showed their disunity with U.S. policy and snide remarks in DAVOS. So hopefully Vancouver, Canada can get as much attention to the drug problem as is currently being shown to Mexic0 and Venezuela.

Here is some inside baseball on Gold and Silver.
Gold and Tungsten have near identical densities. So, if you buy a Kilo Bar “Caveat Emptor.” It is very possible the bar was stuffed with Tungsten. The only way to find out is to Drill or Smelting. Coins are much harder to do but is possible. Tungsten cannot be Electroplated with Gold but can be Cladded.
On Silver.
Silver is much harder to fool since the neares metal density is too far off. With a set of Calipers you can check the volume and with a scale the weight. Also use the Archimides principle to use water and calculate the volume displacement. If the numbers jive you can see if is closed to the correct density. Silver has a distinct sound to it, also there is an Ice Cube test that will melt almost instantly.
To be honest, I rather have Silver than Gold for the simple fact that I can test it really easy for its authenticity. Be very carefully buying Gold, I will see scammers trying to slip “Diluted” Gold. Silver is a safer bet.

It’s going to be very interesting to see the COT in early March. As much as i too am excited about silver and gold, silver can’t be used as money any time soon. There can’t be an industrial use/ destruction of the same thing we would use as money or backing- gold is the only one that is liquid enough and spread around the world to use as money or backing for a currency(s). I can see the price of silver even into 4 digits, for a year or two, until mines dig it up and smart people find some alternatives and some thrifting. The demand momentum by industry and military will carry the shortage out and price is the only relief valve, but don’t get too far into the monetary mud. National stock piles have their own dynamics and nationalizing of some mines should be on the radar screen. With all that said, we could be into the 70th Jubilee since the Israelites crossed the Jordan. What I’m not sure of is if the year ends/ begins at Nisan or Tishbe- spring or fall? That means we are still in 2025 until then, but i keep hearing the words of the profit ______- can’t remember his name-“They fall in the fall.” He was kind of famous.
Personally, i am holding and trading call options and if God is willing, we’re going to get a new house out of this- in front of our run down double wide. That’s my target exit point for the brokerage account.
Jehovah bless you and guide your investments.
PS I just payed a guy 10 silver eagles for an something at a price , not of spot but selling price plus 3.5%
Silver is money as much as fiat is but it does depend on who you are dealing with. There are plenty of people who will take fiat as it is losing value every day. When the economic and societal hiccups come, cash will be king and those with it at home will buy some swinging deals… but at some point, people will realize that toilet paper has more value and you will be left with confetti.
We are truly at war. No nation can exist without laws. This ner’do’well put a hit out on a federal government official. But as this is Chit-Congo, the people vote against their own interests. You don’t keep voting Demoncrats unless you are a demon, brain damaged or so inculcated as to be so.

Just wanted to let you know that an article related to the Biblical Disclosings series was posted a couple days ago on rense.com. It’s nice to appear on a site that frequently features articles and videos from the likes of Catherine Austin Fitts, Martin Armstrong, and Alex Newman, to name just a few of the personalities that also appear on USAWatchdog from time to time.
You can find the article by going to the site and searching for Biblical Riddles (Or Difficult Problems), or you can just access the document here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/5S8BDD61JW#od7yqCPsRruW
Either way, if you are able to solve any of the riddles, be sure to follow the guidelines and submit your solution. the search is on for an elect group of qualified individuals.

It costs to much, it’s a poor return on your investment, no longevity and you have to plan your trips around charging stations and hope they are functional when you arrive. Plus, charging stations are a great place to be robbed and killed. You are a hostage while your EV spends up to an hour charging

These crazies, mostly women that hate men and polite society, are telling their fellow lunatics to shoot ICE agents and the AG of AZ will protect them from murder/ attempted murder charges, saying they can claim self defense.
They want a war and ICE has the right to and is willing to protect themselves. The country voted to deport these illegal MFers. And we won. But the Demons don’t care that we won. So they are obstructing and seeking chaos.
Trump will not allow Federal Agents to be shot and the AG is fomenting violence and revolution. She should be charged with treason and executed. But hey, you already know I think the only way to deal with this cancer is to excise it.

Greg,
WTF happened to Tractor Suppy and their 1.87% IVM? It’s now listed for $23.99 for one tube! I remember before the plandemic, it was $3.99 each.
The gold price’s recent history:
2,000-3,000 1683 days
3,000-4,000 207 days
4,000-5,000 108 days
5,000-6,000 55 days, plus or minus?
It would be a shame to see a nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel, and the US and Russia stifle the trend. There are other ways to depopulate the globe.
Well, one things is for sure, she isn’t a real AG. These demons are a pox on society and I really don’t know how our society can deal with these people other that execution. They are dangerously stupid and evil down to their very soul. Ok, a friend and I had a debate about whether these people actually have souls. You can not rehabilitate these people, it’s ann impossibility. They can be redeemed any more than you can turn a demon to Christ.

AAcrime does not own a an ounce of GOLD as like their neighbour Canada whom they urged to dump their GOLD in the 1970’s when Tricky Dick closed the GOLD window as he issued orders to sell AAcrimes’s GOLD.

TGIF: A TRIP TO THE (SILVER) BAR
Silver currently is the “bug in the ointment”, having risen rapidly from $30/ounce less than a year ago to today’s price of $114.02/ounce. Gold is way up too ($5,080/ounce). I have been harping on Silver to a friend’s wife for the past two weeks and while she acknowledges this rapid price movement, she remains unable to do anything except passively watch it go up even higher. In-fact, this is what most asset managers are doing in their now obsolete model portfolios. When boring, sedate silver does a parabolic moon shot, we should all become circumspective and ask ourselves an important question: What in the World has Changed?
Here is the way Martin Armstrong puts silver’s parabolic market rise and what continues to drive silver up nowadays. It’s more than an acute shortage of physical silver. The world is becoming more unstable and so has the entire financial underpinnings of our day due to geopolitics and excessive sovereign debts. It’s become so crazy that the price per ounce changes with each Barron’s article update (daily).
No Investment Model can adapt to such a magnitude of change as all models are constrained by their respective “rules”. However, a smart hedge fund manager may have the leeway to take advantage of any asset class he wants. Dumb guys like me who bought some junk silver and sat on it for 10 years until….it paid-off handsomely.
Silver for me has been my top performing asset class for the last ten years, rising from $16.80/ounce to $114.63 (currently). However, as it rises ever higher, an old threat may arise in the not-too-distant future: Govt. Confiscation. It is for this reason that Economist Martin A. Armstrong recommends preppers buy only coins and junk silver, not bars.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/markets-by-sector/precious-metals/silver/silver-confiscations/
One other unmistakable global trend is rising authoritarianism. Another risk living in the Land of the “Free” and Home of the Brave. So, it’s the old realities of death and taxes, plus a few new ones added on top of it such as war, the threat of confiscation of private property, and other aspects of reality rudely intruding into our private worlds. Such is “living in interesting times”.
“The explosive move in precious metals we are witnessing is not merely another bull market rally. Gold reaching $4,991.4 and silver clearing $103.53 represents a fundamental breakdown in confidence in the world monetary system that has been building since the 2008 financial crisis. This is the market screaming that the debt spiral has reached terminal velocity intermixed with war that is likely to push the Euro off the edge and we now see the signs of financial stress in Japan as well.”
