Get a free portfolio review with Brett and the team at WindRock: https://bit.ly/4pOyoxb Is the U.S. heading toward a historic breaking point in 2026? WindRock’s Brett Rentmeester argues that America is no longer in a normal business cycle, but instead entering a Fourth Turning–style crisis driven by debt saturation, collapsing affordability, and a loss of trust in key institutions. He joins Maggie Lake and explains why real wages have stagnated since the 1970s, how essential costs have become unaffordable, and why the debt-based monetary system created in 1913 is reaching its limits. Brett also warns that despite market strength, the top 10 AI-driven stocks now make up nearly 40% of the S&P 500, revealing deep underlying fragility. Finally, he shares his framework for navigating this unstable era: “One foot in the old system, and one foot in the new.” 💡Get To Know Brett Rentmeester: https://youtu.be/feoem3afC7w 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 0:57 - As 2026 Nears, How Should Investors Brace for What’s Coming? 3:06 - If “Everything Feels Wrong,” What’s Actually Breaking in the System? 6:21 - Are We Standing at the Edge of a Fourth Turning Crisis? 8:39 - Why Are Basic Essentials Becoming Impossible to Afford? 11:37 - Is America Losing Trust in Its Money, and What Happens Next? 18:39 - Portfolio Strategy in an Age of Upheaval: Where Do You Even Start? 20:38 - ⭐️Wealthion Golden Nugget: What Big Monetary and Technological Shifts Could Reshape the Next Decade? 24:49 - Bitcoin vs. Gold vs. Silver: What’s the Real Safe Haven Now? 27:29 - Will Governments Turn to Higher Taxes, or Rewrite the Tax System Entirely? 30:43 - Do Stocks Still Belong at the Center of Portfolios in a Hard-Asset World?

• Josh Young: Oil Is Totally Mispriced

  💡If a demand shock and higher oil prices hit, is your portfolio ready? Get a free review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors at https://bit.ly/3Xsgxjx Oil demand is booming, OPEC’s real spare capacity may be close to exhausted, and a massive mining and EM growth boom is forming in the background, so why is crude still stuck around $60? In this interview with James Connor, Bison Interest’s Founder & CIO, Josh Young, explains why oil is deeply mispriced, not because of weak demand or strong supply, but because of near-historic low speculative positioning and the equivalent of over a billion “paper barrels” sold into the futures market. He breaks down OPEC’s new spare-capacity “audit,” the rise of a global shadow oil system created by weakly enforced sanctions, and why the next major move in oil may be driven by a demand shock, not a supply crisis. Josh also discusses why official data may be understating China’s true oil consumption, how inflated EV sales numbers distort the demand narrative, and why the U.S., now a net exporter, may actually benefit from higher oil prices. He finishes by outlining where he sees the best opportunities in energy today, from Canadian producers supported by a strong USD to overlooked small-cap service companies trading far below replacement cost. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Learn more about your ad choices.

• Steve Hanke: Inflation Will Hit Again Sooner Than Markets Expect

  💡Worried about inflation returning and markets sitting in bubble territory? Get a free portfolio review with a Wealthion-endorsed financial advisor at https://bit.ly/4ooAhj7 Is the U.S. about to experience a second wave of inflation? According to Professor Steve Hanke, one of the world’s foremost experts on money supply and inflation, the answer is increasingly yes. In this explosive interview with Maggie Lake, Hanke warns that a powerful combination of forces, including the end of quantitative tightening, new bank regulations, political pressure to cut rates, and the monetization of massive deficits, is now accelerating the money supply again.

You’ll learn: • The key warning signs of a U.S. solvency crisis and why “default via inflation” is so likely • How to protect profits in a late-cycle market without moving entirely to cash • Why long-duration bonds may be one of the riskiest places for near-retirees • How inflation hedges like gold fit into portfolios after their big move • Why natural gas is an overlooked way to play soaring power demand from AI and data centers • Whether beaten-down cannabis stocks could rebound if rescheduling finally happens • How much to consider allocating to alternatives and real assets depending on your risk profile 💡Get to Know Chris Casey: His Journey, Strategy, and Financial Philosophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2DdcqtoBYs 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Connect with us online: Website: https://www.wealthion.com X: https://www.x.com/wealthion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wealthionofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wealthion/ #Wealthion #Wealth #Finance #Investing #Markets #Economy #Inflation #AMA #Bonds #Gold #RealAssets #SolvencyCrisis #Macro #PortfolioManagement #FinancialEducation #EconomicOutlook #StockMarket #Investors #AI #NaturalGas #CannabisStocks #ChrisCasey #WindRock ________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTE: The information, opinions, and insights expressed by our guests and our hosts do not necessarily reflect the views of Wealthion or the views of their respective employers.
