In this stark and sometimes disturbing discussion, Jimmy Connor speaks with “Dr. Doom” Marc Faber, who offers his brutally honest assessment of the global and U.S. economies, asserting that while financial markets may be at all-time highs, the real economy is struggling, particularly for the middle and lower classes. He says the severe wealth inequality exacerbated by central bank interest policies that — contrary to popular belief, actually inject more liquidity into the hands of the wealthy — even as the middle class is about to be hit by what he says is an unfair tax due to tariffs. Faber also goes hard at politicians and weighs in on Elon Musk’s new party, while discussing the decline of the U.S. dollar's long-term purchasing power, preferring precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum as stable anchors against currency debasement. Ultimately, Faber warned that the current path of excessive government intervention and wealth disparity is creating an "unstable environment" that could eventually have severe repercussions, even for the super-rich.
