  1. The War That Breaks the Dollar

    The War That Breaks the Dollar

    Trump just launched an unconstitutional war with Iran without Congressional approval—and Peter breaks down the real reasons behind it, from economic distraction to the military-industrial complex profits, plus why this could trigger massive inflation and destroy your purchasing power. This episode is sponsored by Odoo. Sign up for free at https://www.odoo.com/r/iznk Peter Schiff strongly condemns Trump's declaration of war against Iran as unconstitutional, arguing that only Congress has the power to declare war under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Schiff believes Trump violated his oath of office and campaign promises to end wars, not start them. He suspects the real catalyst was Israel informing Trump of their planned attack on Iran, forcing America's hand to join preemptively rather than wait for Iranian retaliation. Schiff questions Trump's claim that he had intelligence suggesting Iran would attack first, calling it implausible and likely fabricated to justify the unconstitutional military action. Despite opposing the war on constitutional and strategic grounds, Schiff sees it as bullish for gold and silver due to its inflationary impact, as wars are typically funded through money printing rather than tax increases. He views recent pullbacks in precious metals and mining stocks as buying opportunities, noting that gold held above $5,000 despite heavy selling. Schiff warns that this war will worsen an already deteriorating economy through higher oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased government spending, while potentially serving as a convenient distraction from Trump's failing economic agenda and recent controversies like the Epstein files.

  2. Spin Of The Union

    Spin Of The Union

    Trump claims we have the hottest economy in the world and the greatest turnaround in history, but the numbers tell a completely different story—GDP growth actually slowed under his watch, the stock market is the worst performer globally, and he's ignoring the real crisis ahead: a sovereign debt catastrophe that will make 2008 look like a warm-up act.

Peter Schiff delivers a scathing critique of Trump's State of the Union address, systematically debunking what he calls numerous economic lies and misrepresentations. Schiff argues that Trump's claims about achieving the "hottest economy in the world" and a "historic economic turnaround" are completely false, pointing out that GDP growth actually slowed from 2.8% under Biden's final year to 2.4% in Trump's first year. He criticizes Trump's housing policy of keeping prices artificially high while suppressing mortgage rates, calling it the same failed approach that led to the 2008 financial crisis, and disputes claims about record-breaking tax cuts, inflation solutions, and stock market performance. Beyond exposing what he sees as outright fabrications, Schiff condemns Trump's economic policies as fundamentally socialist, including the ban on Wall Street buying single-family homes, government intervention in power plant construction, and various spending programs disguised as tax cuts. He warns that these policies will accelerate inflation and fiscal crisis, predicting that the resulting economic collapse will be blamed on Republicans and capitalism, paving the way for Democratic victories and more socialist policies. Schiff urges listeners to protect themselves by investing in gold, silver, and foreign stocks, noting that gold mining stocks are hitting new highs ahead of the metals themselves, which he sees as a bullish leading indicator.

    Gold Just Issued a Warning the Fed Can’t Ignore

    Gold just broke above $5,100 — and almost no one is talking about it. While politicians argue over tariffs, the real story is accelerating stagflation. GDP growth collapsed from 4.4% to 1.4%. Core PCE inflation is rising again. The Fed is openly debating rate cuts while inflation runs 50% above target. This is not a soft landing. Deficits are exploding. Tariff revenue is disappearing. The national debt is surging. The bond market is weakening. And the Federal Reserve is trapped between a weakening economy and rising inflation. That trap has only one historical resolution: monetary expansion. Gold is moving because the market understands what policymakers won’t admit. The dollar’s purchasing power is deteriorating. Sovereign debt risk is rising. Global capital is repositioning. This is not about daily volatility. It’s about systemic imbalance. When growth weakens and inflation accelerates at the same time, the outcome isn’t recovery — it’s currency stress. Gold is signaling the next phase.

    Gold Back Above $5,000, Oil Breakout, Dollar Trouble Ahead

    With national debt up $2.6 trillion in one year and trade deficits exploding despite tariffs, the dollar faces collapse while oil and gold signal inflation's return. - This episode is sponsored by Grammarly. Download Grammarly for free at https://grammarly.com - This episode is also sponsored by Pebl. Go to https://hipebl.ai to get a free estimate. Peter Schiff analyzes mounting evidence that the U.S. dollar is heading for a major decline, driven by exploding deficits and failed trade policies. With the national debt surging $2.6 trillion in just over a year under Trump, and trade deficits widening despite tariffs, Schiff argues that the same deficit spending Republicans blamed for Biden's inflation is now accelerating under the current administration. Oil prices have surged 21% in two months, hitting six-month highs above $66, while gold holds support above $5,000 as central banks continue dumping dollars. The December trade deficit data reveals Trump's tariffs are backfiring spectacularly - imports rising while exports fall, proving Americans pay 90% of tariff costs according to New York Fed studies. Housing markets show severe stress with pending home sales hitting record lows, signaling price corrections ahead. Schiff credits Trump for reducing FDA drug approval requirements from two studies to one, but argues this modest deregulation doesn't address the fundamental problem of government interference in healthcare markets that didn't exist before 1962.

    Presidents’ Day Is a Lie (It’s Washington’s Birthday)

    It’s not “Presidents’ Day.” Legally, it’s George Washington’s Birthday—and we’ve quietly erased the one American who actually deserves a national holiday. - This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Get an extra 4 months free. https://expressvpn.com/gold In this episode, I explain how a 1968 law moved holidays to Mondays, how retail “Presidents’ Day” sales hijacked the meaning, and why Washington’s character matters: the war hero who survived what should’ve killed him, turned down a crown, stepped away after two terms, and personally led troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. We also cover a modern contrast: government subsidies and incentives that raise prices, distort markets, and create the very “affordability” problems politicians pretend to solve.

  6. Jobs Report “Beat” Is Another Lie: 1.1 Million Jobs Erased

    FEB 12

    Jobs Report “Beat” Is Another Lie: 1.1 Million Jobs Erased

    Peter Schiff explains why today’s “better than expected” jobs report is meaningless—and why the real story is the massive downward revisions. The government erased roughly 2.5 million jobs going back to 2019, including about 1.1 million from 2025 and over 800,000 from 2024. That means many of the celebrated “beats” from the past two years were actually misses, and markets were trading on bad data. This episode is sponsored by NetSuite. Download the free “Demystifying AI” at https://netsuite.com/gold Schiff breaks down how automated trading reacts to jobs prints (strong jobs = buy dollars/sell gold), why the birth/death model distorted reality, and why gold and the dollar are no longer reacting the way they used to. He also covers rising oil and oil stocks, why gold and silver miners may hit new highs before the metals, why foreign markets are crushing U.S. stocks year-to-date, and why the dollar index looks set up for a sharper decline. Finally, Schiff argues the crypto crash is the first bubble to pop—an early warning for broader asset bubbles—and explains why tokenized gold is becoming the real “digital money” narrative as Bitcoin’s “digital gold” claim fails in real time.

Use promo code: SB60 when you sign up to get $10 when you trade $10 Gold and silver are stabilizing after last week’s historic paper-market smash, and the real story is what’s coming next: a weaker jobs trend, rising energy, and a tariff regime that’s functionally a tax on everyday Americans. Peter breaks down the ugly ADP print (and the downward revision), why the “strongest economy ever” narrative doesn’t pass the smell test, and why oil’s turn higher undermines the administration’s last clean talking point on inflation. Then Peter walks through Scott Bessent’s testimony and why tariffs are politically toxic: officials can’t claim tariffs don’t raise prices while simultaneously admitting removing tariffs lowers prices. That contradiction is the whole game. Finally, Peter covers the optics and incentives of open graft and self-dealing, why it’s setting a precedent both parties will exploit, and why this mix of affordability pain, weak labor signals, and policy doublespeak is tailor-made to punish the incumbents in the midterms.

    Gold & Silver Crash: Why This Selloff Changes Nothing (Buy the Dip)

    Gold and silver just experienced one of the most violent paper selloffs in history—but does it actually change the bull market? In this special Sunday night edition of the Schiff Gold Market Wrap, Peter Schiff explains why this crash was driven by coordinated futures selling, not fundamentals, and why it represents an opportunity rather than a turning point. Peter breaks down what caused the sudden collapse, why physical demand for gold and silver is increasing even as paper prices fall, and why premiums are already rising. He explains how short sellers engineered the move, why they ultimately can’t deliver the metal they sold, and why this sets the stage for higher prices ahead. The episode also covers why mining stocks were hit even harder than metals, why those declines create exceptional value, and how earnings will soon expose the disconnect between prices and fundamentals. Peter explains why Bitcoin continues to fail as “digital gold,” why crypto fell without benefiting from the gold rally, and why this moment offers a rare chance to rotate out of crypto and into real money. Despite extreme volatility, gold near $4,700 and silver near $80 remain historically strong prices. Peter explains why this selloff doesn’t damage the long-term trend, why Asian buying remains strong, and why the biggest risk now belongs to short sellers—not long-term holders.
