China Just Triggered a Debt Trap the Fed Can't Escape

Show Notes

Gary Brode breaks down why Trump's tariffs are successfully reshoring American manufacturing despite economist predictions of disaster. The conversation explores China's rare earth monopoly and national security threats, dollar weaponization that pushed BRICS nations toward alternative currencies, and why central banks are aggressively accumulating gold. Brode explains New York's accelerating millionaire exodus under progressive tax policies, the bipartisan spending problem destroying fiscal sanity, and why Bitcoin remains his largest position. With Congress showing no signs of curbing overspending or dollar debasement, both gold and Bitcoin offer protection against currency destruction while manufacturing returns home.
