The Real Story with Michelle Makori

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with James Rickards, New York Times bestselling author and editor of the Strategic Intelligence newsletter, for a conversation on gold, artificial intelligence, and the growing risk of a global monetary crisis.Rickards explains why a move to $10,000 gold by the end of 2026 would not surprise him, breaking down the math behind gold’s accelerating price moves and why the most explosive phase often comes last. He also warns that the world has not yet entered the “retail frenzy” stage.The discussion then turns to a far more unsettling risk: AI-driven market instability. Rickards outlines how deepfakes, automated trading systems, and algorithmic decision-making could trigger market panic in minutes and why traditional safeguards like circuit breakers may no longer work in an AI-dominated system.Michelle presses Rickards on whether an AI-triggered meltdown could collide with a global monetary reset, amplifying bank failures, liquidity shortages, and systemic risk across the financial system.In this episode of The Real Story:- Why gold at $10,000 may arrive faster than most expect- The math behind gold’s accelerating price moves- Why the retail gold frenzy hasn’t started yet- How AI and deepfakes could trigger market panic- Why circuit breakers may fail in an AI-driven crash- Whether a global monetary crisis or AI meltdown comes first#gold #AI #markets #crisis #reset Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori        Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow James Rickards on X: https://x.com/RealJimRickards00:00 Coming Up04:05 Why Gold Has Rallied09:40 The Math & Psychology of a Fast Move to $10K 13:06 Catalysts That Could Turbocharge Gold: Retail Frenzy, Shocks & AI Risk14:52 Gold Revaluation Buzz: Could Trump Reprice U.S. Gold Reserves?31:12 China’s Yuan Ambitions & Hidden Gold38:36 BRICS Settlement Layer40:17 MoneyGPT: AI in Finance & the Hidden Fragility of 'Same' Algorithms44:35 Deepfake Fed Chair Scenario50:37 Why Circuit Breakers Fail in the AI Era53:22 After the Crash01:04:23 Investor Playbook: Real Diversification Across Asset Classes01:07:04 AI Meltdown vs. Global Dollar Shortage & Monetary Reset01:13:55 Final Wrap

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with David Morgan, Founder of The Morgan Report, Author of 'The Silver Manifesto' and producer of the Silver Sunrise documentary. Morgan warns: the world is entering what he calls a “one-in-400-year currency crisis” and fear will be the catalyst that triggers the final, explosive revaluation of gold and silver.Morgan explains why industrial and monetary demand for silver are converging at unprecedented levels, why the structural supply deficit is accelerating, and why 90% of the metals’ bull market move tends to occur in the last 10% of time. He argues that the precious metals market began its secular run in 2000 and the final 2.5-year acceleration window could now be opening.He also breaks down the shock CME outage, the migration of metals trading from West to East, the growing role of India, Russia, and sovereign entities buying silver, and how a global monetary reset could unfold faster than most expect.In this interview, Morgan reveals what gold and silver are signaling about the next phase of the crisis and why it will be remembered for generations.In this episode of The Real Story: Why fear is now the dominant force behind gold and silver demandThe “one-in-400-year currency crisis” Morgan believes is already underwayWhy industrial and monetary silver demand are colliding at the worst possible timeStructural silver deficit: how long it can continue before supply breaksThe 2.5-year “acceleration window” where 90% of the move historically occursCME halt: what it may signal about stress inside the systemHow a monetary reset could unfoldYou can watch David Morgan’s Silver Sunrise documentary here: https://silversunrise.tv/ Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori       Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo   Follow David Morgan on X: https://x.com/silverguru22 00:00 Coming Up01:31 Silver's Surge03:53 Understanding the Silver Market Dynamics07:43 Industrial & Monetary Demand for Silver13:27 Speculations & Market Manipulations29:11 Global Monetary Reset & Future Predictions34:57 Market Factors Influencing Silver40:48 Gold & Silver Investment Insights42:05 Silver's Market Dynamics & Historical Context46:30 Potential Substitutes for Silver50:07 Recession Impact on Silver Demand51:33 Currency Crisis & Financial System Reset58:33 Future Outlook for Silver and Gold01:06:19 Conclusion & Final Thoughts___________________Miles Franklin:📞 Call us: 1-952-929-7006📧 Email us: info@milesfranklin.com🔗 Website: https://milesfranklin.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MilesFranklinMedia/ 📱 X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milesfranklinmedia/  💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/miles-franklin-media/  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MilesFranklinCo 📩 For media inquiries, contact: media@milesfranklin.com___________________Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, its affiliates, owners, anchors, producers or hosts.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Frank Giustra, CEO of Fiore Group and Co-Chair of the International Crisis Group, about what he calls the final phase of the global monetary system. Giustra warns that one more round of quantitative easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve could break the dollar, trigger a complete dumping of U.S. assets, and force a gold-backed reset of the global financial order. He explains why the global order is already collapsing, how China’s gold-based settlement system is accelerating the split, and what Americans should prepare for as fiscal cliffs, debt spirals, and hyperinflation risks converge.In this episode of The Real Story:- One more QE, could spell out the dollar.- The global bond system is broken.- Panic and dumping of U.S. dollars will trigger a gold-anchored reset.- The global order is “dead as a dodo” – echoes of pre-WWI instability.- Giustra’s only solution: buy and hold gold: 10-20% of your portfolio.Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori    Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCoFollow Frank Giustra on X: https://x.com/Frank_Giustra 00:00 Coming Up01:16 Introduction03:52 China's Gold Strategy & Global Impact08:00 US-China Currency Battle12:15 Potential Outcomes & Historical Context22:57 Stable Coins & the Future of US Dollar36:37 The Mystery of Fort Knox Gold37:44 Trump Administration's Interest in Gold41:55 Potential Economic Collapse & Hyperinflation47:51 Global Confidence in the U.S. Dollar55:26 Investment Strategies: Gold & Tangible Assets01:01:37 Final Thoughts Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Dr. Judy Shelton, former Federal Reserve nominee and former senior economic advisor to President Donald Trump, about a potential turning point for the U.S. dollar coming July 4, 2026 – the nation’s 250th anniversary. Dr. Shelton reveals that her idea is gaining traction in Washington – a gold-linked U.S. Treasury bond that could redefine America’s monetary system.Dr. Shelton, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Author of 'Good as Gold,' discusses how these bonds could restore faith in the U.S. dollar, offset currency debasement fears, and bring the dollar back to a form of sound money. Could this be America’s Independence Day Reset – a turning point that re-anchors the dollar to gold and restores monetary trust?Dr. Shelton also tells Makori about a potential Fort Knox gold audit that could be in motion under the Gold Reserve Transparency Act and explores the implications of a gold revaluation, the U.S. strategic position in global finance, and the future of monetary systems anchored to gold. In this interview:- Gold-linked Treasury Trust Bonds- How the Gold Reserve Transparency Act could open Fort Knox for a public audit- The logic behind re-pricing U.S. gold reserves to market value ($42 → $3,900+)- How July 4, 2026 could mark a new monetary era of sound money and discipline- What it means for the U.S. dollar, debt markets, and gold investorsFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori   Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo  Follow Judy Shelton on X: https://x.com/judyshel00:00 Coming Up…01:18 The Debasement Trade Explained03:10 U.S. Debt & Economic Concerns07:44 Gold's Role in the Economy14:27 Treasury Trust Bonds Proposal26:02 Challenges & Skepticism51:53 Gold Revaluation & U.S. Treasury55:03 International Gold Revaluation Precedents01:01:55 Impact of Gold-Linked Treasuries on Global Politics01:19:07 Historical Context of Gold Standards01:30:30 Bitcoin & Modern Monetary Systems01:35:10 Conclusion & Final ThoughtsJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, interviews Lawrence Lepard, Founder of Equity Management Associates and author of The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It.In Part 1 of this interview, Lepard issues a stark warning:- Another massive print is on the horizon – bigger than anything we’ve seen before- Inflation isn’t a policy failure, it’s a feature of the system, and it’s about to get much worse- The Federal Reserve’s credibility is collapsing and the U.S. central bank may not survive the next crisis- America’s monetary system is broken by design, driving inequality, asset bubbles, and civil unrest- The next Fourth Turning will center on the battle between sound money and fiat destructionLepard breaks down how we got here – from Bretton Woods to Nixon closing the gold window – and why today’s unsound money is not just an economic issue, but a political and moral one. Are we heading toward hyperinflation, collapse, and a full monetary reset? Can we build a post-Fed financial system based on gold, silver, and Bitcoin? This is the monetary endgame. You need to understand it before it hits.Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive deeper into how this Fourth Turning will play out, revaluation scenarios, and what the next monetary system will look like –  a gold standard, Bitcoin, or something else?Follow Michelle Makori on X: ⁠https://x.com/michellemakori⁠Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: ⁠https://x.com/MilesFranklinCoFollow Lawrence Lepard on X: https://x.com/LawrenceLepard00:00 Coming Up01:09 Introduction: Understanding Sound Money09:48 The Debt Crisis Explained12:36 The Consequences of Unsound Money22:26 Yield Curve Control & Sovereign Bonds23:04 Historical Analogies: Post-WWII Debt & Inflation24:23 The Inflationary Cycle & Its Implications26:36 The Unfairness of Inflation33:20 The Federal Reserve & Its Impact35:45 Navigating the Transition to Sound Money38:22 The Fourth Turning & the Future of MoneyJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and President of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, CEO and Founder of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, in the debut episode of ‘The Real Story’ to explore what could be the most radical monetary reset in U.S. history. With the U.S. national debt soaring past $37 trillion and global trust in the dollar crumbling, Schectman reveals a covert plan to reintroduce gold into the U.S. financial system in order to save the Treasury – even if it means “sacrificing” the dollar. Could U.S. government insiders be preparing to reset the system?Makori breaks down Schectman’s thesis:How the BRICS nations are building a gold-backed payment system to bypass SWIFTWhy the U.S. may be secretly stockpiling gold under the guise of national securityAnd how a gold-backed Treasury bond could be launched as early as July 4, 2026This is the real story of de-dollarization, gold revaluation, and the silent financial war already underway.Key Takeaways:- The dollar is being deliberately weakened amid exploding debt and soaring interest payments- U.S. insiders may be preparing a gold-based monetary reset to save the Treasury- Gold imports into the U.S. have quietly surged – who’s buying, and why?- China is rolling out a gold-linked yuan settlement system, bypassing the dollar- The BRICS bloc may have been sabotaged by the BIS, but China is advancing alone- Why the beginning of a new financial system could be less than 12 months awayFollow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/michellemakoriFollow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo00:00 Introduction: First Episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori01:23 The National Debt Crisis02:40 BRICS Nations and Gold06:53 BRICS' Gold-Backed Currency Plans09:02 China's Global Payment System11:37 The Role of Gold in Global Trade22:19 The Future of Global Financial Systems35:49 U.S. Response to Global Financial Shifts44:11 The Triffin Dilemma and the World Reserve Currency48:18 Military Action54:49 Secret Gold Accumulation & National Security01:00:10 Gold Bonds and Future Economic Plans01:21:22 Gold Revaluation 01:34:39 The Role of Stablecoins01:37:47 Gold vs. Bitcoin Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
