In mid-2023, I went to FreedomFest in Memphis, where I interviewed Steve Forbes.

But my highlight of this trip wasn’t being on stage.

Peter St. Onge, an economist with the Heritage Foundation and one of the best voices on Twitter/Substack, was giving a talk on Bitcoin and the future of America.

I was thrilled to see he was there.

Peter reminds me of Doug Casey and Bill Bonner, two of the most prolific and influential voices in financial publishing.

I exited my hotel a few minutes late from his talk… only to be accosted and physically assaulted by a homeless woman who told me that Kanye West told her that I’d come to arrest her.

Yeah… Imagine my ensuing panic attack…

Fortunately, I did arrive at Peter’s speech… but it was wrapping up.

We chatted and have been in contact ever since.

Naturally, Peter’s star is rising… and deservedly so.

If you need proof, he recently sat down with Porter Stansberry to discuss the election and how investors should position themselves in October.

It’s worth your time tonight.

Especially with the polls tightening.

Watch it right now…
