Rand Paul Checks Fort Knox Gold, Dollar Is At “Death’s Door” - Gerald Celente
Summary
Daniela Camone interviews trend forecaster Gerald Celente, who predicts a looming dot-com-style bust driven by AI overinvestment and private equity losses. Celente argues that geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Iran, are artificially suppressing oil prices while signaling a potential return to a gold standard to address US debt.
