    This Is Why Gold Is Rising While the Dollar Falls Apart
    Nov 22 2025
    In this explosive conversation, Jay sits down with Andy Schectman to break down the biggest monetary shift happening beneath the surface of global finance. Schectman explains why the newly passed Genius Act and the rise of Treasury-backed stablecoins may be quietly restructuring the U.S. dollar system. They dig into gold’s explosive institutional demand, America’s pivot toward state capitalism, the government’s race for critical minerals, and the dangerous cracks emerging in the repo market that signal deep fragility across the banking system. https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo https://milesfranklin.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@MilesFranklinMedia Learn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities.

  • The Truth Behind the America-Venezuela Conflict

    The Truth Behind the America-Venezuela Conflict
    Nov 15 2025
    Jay is joined by geopolitical analyst and forecaster George Friedman to unpack what President Trump really represents in the long arc of American history. We revisit George’s “vanilla president” thesis and why, personality aside, Trump’s project to dismantle the post-1945 world order was predictable and perhaps inevitable. We dig into the shift from global policeman back toward U.S. isolationism, the real story behind Venezuela and the U.S. military build-up in the Caribbean, and why a renewed Russia–Cuba pact makes the Florida Straits one of the most important choke points on Earth.

  • Richard Wolff vs. Jay Martin: Debating the Future of America

    Richard Wolff vs. Jay Martin: Debating the Future of America
    Nov 8 2025
    In today’s episode, I sit down with Professor Richard Wolff for a raw, unscripted debate on capitalism, socialism, and the future of the American Dream. New York City’s election of a socialist mayor sets the stage, but the conversation quickly dives into the deeper forces splitting the country in two and the slow unraveling of a system that millions feel no longer works for them. We go back and forth on wealth, risk, entrepreneurship, worker power, and whether the U.S. is inching toward a historic transition far bigger than anyone realizes.

    Peter Zeihan: In the Next 10 Years, China Will Collapse
    Oct 25 2025
    Today on the show, Jay sits down with geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan for a sweeping conversation about the collapse of the global order. Zeihan explains why China is nearing its end, how demographics are set up to decimate economies around the world, and why the U.S. may soon abandon its role as world policeman and what that would mean for the world.

  • Colonel Macgregor: America’s Collapse Will Create A New Financial System

    Colonel Macgregor: America’s Collapse Will Create A New Financial System
    Oct 18 2025
    In this hard-hitting conversation, Jay sits down with Colonel Douglas Macgregor to dissect the unraveling of U.S. global dominance and the rise of a multipolar world. Macgregor argues that Washington’s addiction to military coercion, economic sanctions, and moral posturing has left America isolated and financially brittle, while China, Russia, and India quietly build alternative trade and monetary systems. He warns that U.S. diplomacy has been replaced by bullying and that the reckoning will come in the form of inflation, declining trust at home, and waning credibility abroad.
