Ron Paul Warns: Wars Continue, Dollar Dies, Freedoms Vanish — A Sad Story
In this Reinvent Money interview recorded on US midterm election day (November 3, 2026), Paul Buitink speaks with libertarian icon and former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. Paul argues that neither Republicans nor Democrats deserve power, as both support corporate control, deficit financing, the Federal Reserve, endless wars, and policies that violate the Constitution. He highlights the national debt’s explosion from $11 trillion in 2009 to over $40 trillion, calling sustained inflation inevitable under Austrian economics. Paul explains that new money is never distributed equally—private interests get it first—and stresses the need for sound money based on gold and silver. He warns that spending, debt monetization, and wars will continue, eroding the dollar’s value and personal freedoms. On the endgame, he anticipates a “breakdown surge” or panic rather than a clean deflationary spiral or pure hyperinflation, driven by years of near-zero interest rates. Paul concludes that dishonest money and dishonest leadership go hand in hand and can lead to national decline.Follow Ron Paul:https://www.youtube.com/@RonPaulLibertyReportFollow Paul Buitink on X here:https://x.com/paulbuitinkFor European viewers, more info on Holland Gold here:https://www.hollandgold.nl/en/0:00 – Opening warning: spending, wars, dollar decline & lost freedoms1:14 – Intro & midterms: neither party deserves to win4:30 – Corporate capitalism vs. socialism & the Constitution7:00 – Fed, balanced budgets, privacy & endless wars (US & Europe)10:00 – Debt from $11T to $40T+: inflation is inevitable14:00 – Unequal money creation & the case for sound money (gold/silver)18:30 – Continued spending, monetization & the “breakdown surge”24:00 – Dishonest money, dishonest leaders, foreign policy & the path ahead

Is $50 Silver a Gift? David Morgan on Silver's Crash
Paul Buitink welcomes longtime silver expert David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report, to discuss the silver market after its explosive move to an all-time high near $121 in late January 2026. Prices have since corrected sharply and are testing the important $50 area again. David explains why much of the decline reflects a washout of speculative enthusiasm rather than a collapse in the underlying bull case, and why he expects the $50 level to hold as a zone of strong support.A key theme is the difference between paper and physical silver. Industrial users—particularly in solar and other critical applications—need real metal, not certificates, and many are viewing current levels as an opportunity to restock. David discusses practical buying zones, production costs, the psychology of stacking through volatility, and his classic observation that silver will either “scare you out or wear you out.” He also addresses how to distinguish a healthy correction inside a larger bull market from the start of a deeper decline, while placing the move in the context of broader monetary stresses and the long-term undervaluation of precious metals.The conversation covers several other timely topics. Paul and David examine recent headlines about laboratory production of gold via nuclear transmutation (turning mercury into gold using advanced processes such as those associated with high-energy physics experiments). David puts the claims in perspective, noting the extreme cost, tiny quantities, and lack of relevance to the real supply-demand balance. They also touch on the gold-silver ratio, recent central-bank policy decisions, the potential influence of sound-money advocates such as Judy Shelton in an advisory role, the approaching U.S. midterm elections, and related ideas associated with longtime advocates of monetary reform including Ron Paul.David Morgan has followed the silver market for decades and remains one of its most consistent and experienced voices.Follow Paul Buitink: https://x.com/paulbuitinkThe Morgan Report: https://www.themorganreport.comTimestamps:0:00 – Intro: Silver back near $50 after the $121 high1:20 – David’s view on the correction and speculative washout4:00 – Testing the breakout / $50 support level6:30 – Physical demand from industrial users (solar and more)9:00 – Buying zones, production costs, and stacking strategy13:00 – Healthy correction vs larger collapse (“scare you or wear you out”)17:30 – Broader monetary pressures and undervalued metals22:00 – Gold-silver ratio and related market talk27:00 – Fed decisions, Judy Shelton, and political backdrop32:00 – Final thoughts and outlook for the next phase

"Don't Believe Opinion Polls!" - Michael Every on the Midterms, Trump's Strategy, Iran and US dollar
In this Reinvent Money episode, host Paul Buitink interviews Rabobank global strategist Michael Every on geopolitics, money, and power.Every argues a full-scale World War III is unlikely, as only the US can project large forces globally (and is occupied in the Middle East), while Europe is weak and China/Russia have limited reach—though proxy wars, economic conflicts, and serious disruptions are already rising.He critiques Fukuyama’s “End of History,” explaining the post-WWII liberal order stemmed from US military victories and the dollar system, which hollowed out American manufacturing and weakened its power base over time.The discussion covers nuclear deterrence enabling conventional escalation, the US abandoning outdated rules to reassert influence (including via the dollar), and the broader shift toward economic statecraft in a fragmenting world.

“The Crisis Is Right Now” | Debt, the AI Bubble, Housing & Gold’s Next Move | Matthew Piepenburg
The crisis is already here, says Matthew Piepenburg. What does that mean for stocks, the housing market, the dollar and gold? Yael Potjer welcomes back the Von Greyerz partner to discuss rising government debt, the risks behind the AI boom and why he believes gold is still nowhere near its peak.Starting with France’s mounting debt problems, Piepenburg explains why rising bond yields are a warning everyone should pay attention to. He argues that the United States faces the same problem on a much larger scale, while central banks are running out of effective tools. Can policymakers keep borrowing costs under control without sacrificing the purchasing power of their currencies? The discussion also covers the future of the euro, declining US dominance and the push to create demand for American debt through stablecoins.The consequences reach beyond financial markets. Could house prices fall while homeownership becomes even less affordable? We explore how rising mortgage rates affect the housing market, why wealthy cash buyers face a different reality and what this means for younger generations trying to buy their first home.Turning to stocks, Piepenburg questions the risks investors take when regularly buying the S&P 500. He points to extreme concentration, circular financing and enormous spending on AI infrastructure, drawing comparisons with the dot-com bubble and 2008. Could cheaper Chinese competition undermine the assumptions behind the AI boom—and what happens if those assumptions prove wrong?Finally, if the case for gold is so strong, why has its price struggled? Piepenburg shares his interpretation of the gold and silver correction, examines central bank buying and China’s long-term strategy, and explains why he is more bullish heading into 2027. What could trigger the next move—and are investors overlooking gold’s changing role in the monetary system?Learn more about Matthew Piepenburg and VON GREYERZ: https://vg.gold/Follow Egon von Greyerz on X: https://x.com/GoldSwitzerlandTimestamps00:00 Intro01:55 France, bonds & yields08:30 Debt, inflation & unrest12:30 ECB, euro & money printing16:45 America is broke21:00 Debasement crisis25:20 End of US hegemony & Stablecoins31:00 Housing market crash?35:00 The middle class & Wealth inequality38:02 Stock market & AI crash51:15 Gold, Silver & China59:10 Gold price, Silver priceHolland Gold: http

Nord Stream: "I spoke to the man who planted the bombs" | Bojan Pancevski

Pancevski shares remarkable insights from his investigation, including conversations with people directly involved in the operation and the detectives trying to uncover the truth. They discuss competing theories about who was responsible, what Western intelligence agencies knew before the attack, and whether senior political leaders were involved.

"That's Just Fascism!" - Mark Thornton on Why AI, Bond Yields and Iran Point to a Bust
Paul Buitink interviews Mises Institute economist Mark Thornton on AI, debt, and the Middle East. Thornton sees the AI build-out as an Austrian boom: cheap credit funneled cash and borrowing into chips, data centers, and models with unproven revenues. He calls demands for government brakes scare stories meant to lock in incumbents. Deficits, he says, cannot be grown away. A forty-year decline in yields has broken, and attempts to lean on Treasuries, the dollar, and gold and silver amount to market manipulation. On Iran he argues the U.S. is poorly placed, with lasting risks to energy, food, and markets.More info about Mark here:https://mises.org/profile/mark-thorntonFollow Paul on X here:https://x.com/paulbuitinkTimestamps:0:00 — Cold open: AI scare lines, market talk, Iran, gold and silver1:41 — Intro: Austrian view of AI, regulation, yields, Middle East2:20 — AI as a late-cycle boom driven by cheap credit, not pure free-market tech8:46 — Cash reserves gone; hundreds of billions borrowed for chips and data centers13:03 — “Destroy humanity” claims as a path to regulation and incumbent protection17:11 — Rogue agents, untested rollouts, and growing out of the debt23:03 — Musk on optional work, the Keynes 15-hour week, and welfare results31:00 — Federal vs state power; gold and silver laws (Utah, Alabama)35:53 — Bond crisis, end of the 1981–2021 yield decline, official market leaning44:45 — Iran, October risk, energy, food, and why Thornton calls the war a blunder

Alasdair Macleod: "Fiat Currency System: 18 Months Before it Dies"
Alasdair Macleod tells Paul Buitink the Fed’s latest hike does not buy time. He gives the fiat system about 18 months. A 10-year yield above 5% could burst an equity bubble bigger than 1929. Energy and food shocks from war, drought, and blocked grain will push inflation higher while governments cannot afford the rates needed to stop it. Rescue QE would then destroy currencies. AI valuations look unsupported next to cheap Chinese rivals such as DeepSeek. Dutch gold leaving New York, after similar German and French moves, suggests the metal may not be there. Trust in the dollar is fading; gold is the exit.Follow Alasdair here:https://www.macleodfinance.com/Follow Paul on X here:https://x.com/paulbuitinkTimestamps0:00 Opening clip: crash stages and gold custody doubts2:18 Fed hike to 4% — does it buy time?5:00 Energy shortages, logistics, food and winter risks8:28 Oil in gold terms; fiat purchasing power12:00 Equity crash, bank credit, Keynesian rescue13:00 Stage one / stage two of a crash; 1929 parallel16:10 Sponsor break / gold ad16:11 Can AI and Musk “grow out of” the debt?19:41 Why “18 months” — complacency vs crisis now21:47 Why 5% on the 10-year matters for stocks24:54 Bretton Woods 2?
