In this episode, Kerry Lutz and Gerson Gibbs dive into two forces reshaping America’s future: trade policy and artificial intelligence. Gerson explains how free trade, once a benefit to the U.S., has increasingly been exploited by other nations—making tariffs and stronger negotiations essential to protecting American interests. The conversation then turns to the AI revolution, where both Kerry and Gerson highlight how AI is transforming business operations, regulatory compliance, and even content distribution. While some jobs may be displaced, they argue that AI will ultimately create new opportunities and serve as a powerful productivity tool, ensuring people remain central to the workforce.Find Gerson here: https://www.belitecapital.comFind Kerry here: http://financialsurvivalnetwork.com/ and here: https://inflation.cafeKerry's New Book “The World According to Martin Armstrong – Conversations with the Master Forecaster” is now a #1 Best Seller on Amazon. .Get your copy here: https://amzn.to/4kuC5p5 This is a public episode.

Kerry Lutz introduced Darryl Schoon, who shared insights from his 2007 predictions regarding a potential economic collapse, attributing the instability to the Federal Reserve's monetary policies. Darryl compared the U.S. economic approach to that of Britain, emphasizing a more aggressive risk-taking culture in America. He discussed historical parallels with the Great Depression, particularly the role of tariffs in worsening economic downturns, and expressed concerns about the current economic landscape in 2025, suggesting that it bears similarities to past crises.Darryl used a toilet analogy to illustrate the role of central banks in maintaining economic stability since 2009, noting that while ongoing monetary support has prevented immediate collapse, it has created unsustainable pressure on the financial system. He highlighted the public's focus on immediate needs rather than the complexities of economic management, stressing the urgency for a more balanced monetary policy. He also pointed out that the predicted economic collapse has been postponed due to quantitative easing, with significant increases in gold prices and warnings from analysts about the bond markets being the next focal point of financial turmoil.Darryl emphasized the growing importance of gold as a leading asset class in 2025, serving as a hedge against various economic uncertainties. He discussed the dynamics of the precious metals market, noting the ongoing short squeeze in silver and the challenges faced by investors. Additionally, he referenced insights from Michael Hartnett of Bank of America regarding an impending debt shock in the U.S. and the potential for a long-term bear market for the dollar.

We caught up with Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver Corp (🇺🇸 DVS - 🇨🇦 DV) — the rare “silver unicorn” rewriting the rules of silver exploration in North America. While most of the world’s silver comes as a byproduct from mega-mines in Mexico and Peru, Dolly Varden’s British Columbia project is a high-grade, primary silver mine in a top-tier jurisdiction — making it one of the few pure silver plays left standing. Shawn breaks down how his team has defied brutal junior mining conditions to: ✅ Secure an NYSE American uplisting — joining an elite club of only ~10 pure silver equities. ✅ Complete three strategic acquisitions with minimal dilution — growing the land package from 15,000 hectares to over 100,000 hectares in just months. ✅ Launch an aggressive 35,000-meter drill program, already underway with four rigs turning — with eyes on adding another 20,000 meters if the data supports it. ✅ Lock in an oversubscribed $28.75 million financing at the highest share price in company history — doubling the treasury and avoiding a dreaded down round. We also dug deep into why the big silver and gold producers are getting rewarded — but advanced juniors like Dolly Varden remain undervalued… for now. With historic high-grade past producers now consolidated under one roof, supportive major shareholders like Hecla and Eric Sprott, and multiple catalysts on deck, Dolly Varden is positioned to break out as silver approaches historic levels. 👉 Don’t miss Shawn’s forecast for drill results hitting before the Rick Rule Symposium in Boca Raton — and why this cycle might turn silver stocks into the tech stocks of tomorrow. 📈 Ticker Symbols: 🇺🇸 DVS (OTC) 🇨🇦 DV (TSXV) 👉 Visit: https://dollyvardensilver.com 🔔 Subscribe & stay informed on major milestones, upcoming drill campaigns, and silver market trends. #silverstocks #DollyVardenSilver #Gold #MiningStocks #FinancialSurvivalNetwork #KerryLutz #ResourceInvesting **Disclaimer This interview is sponsored by Dolly Varden Silver, and Financial Survival Network has received payment to conduct this interview of thirty-one hundred and fifty dollars.
