This week, Dr. Kirk unpacks Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Fox News interview about Fort Knox. Even taking the "trillion dollars of gold" claim at face value, Dr. Kirk points out it does not come close to covering a national debt now around $39 trillion, and he revisits a warning he first raised two years ago: Project mBridge, the digital settlement system that lets countries settle trade in assets other than the U.S. dollar, including gold and silver. With Basel III treating gold as a tier-one asset and central banks adding gold at a record pace, he explains why he sees the current pullback in metals prices as a moment of opportunity rather than a crisis, and shares his interest-rate outlook for the year ahead.
