## Resource

The "golden economy" is a myth, and the American middle class is footing the bill. Legendary investor Peter Schiff joins me to expose the crony capitalism, out-of-control inflation, and massive government spending crippling our free market. From skyrocketing national debt and the Federal Reserve's endless money-printing to the dangerous AI tech bubble, political insider trading, ill-conceived tariffs, and dumb tax bills, nothing about our current system operates as a true free market. Schiff breaks down why tariffs and debt act as a hidden tax on consumers, how the political elite — including both Democrats and Republicans — are getting incredibly wealthy off government intervention, and why the "inflation tax" is here to stay unless we see massive cuts to government spending. Plus, Peter Schiff reveals the shocking story of how he was allegedly shadow-banned by Fox for simply telling the truth about the economy because Trump was upset.  Learn more about your ad choices.
