Show Notes

When Peter Schiff joined Diane King Hall on April 9th to discuss tariff policy, a breaking headline crossed that Pres. Trump was pausing implementation another 90 days. Peter reacts to the news later in the interview (24:35), but his stance remains the same: He believes inflation costs from tariffs will "leave Wall Street and land on Main Street." Peter and Diane discuss the state of the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve policy and dive into his bullish gold outlook as the precious metal continues to hit all-time highs.
