Liberty and Finance, Released on 5/18/26
Gregory Mannarino has one of his starkest warnings yet: the real crisis is not the stock market, but the rapidly destabilizing global debt market. He argues that soaring sovereign bond yields, central bank intervention, and mounting geopolitical tensions are pushing the world toward a historic credit lockup that could freeze the entire financial system. Mannarino says the coming shift is not accidental, but part of a deliberate move into a centralized, permission based economic order built around stablecoins, surveillance, and digital control. He also warns that food shortages, energy stress, and the destruction of the middle class are accelerating worldwide as governments and institutions consolidate power. Throughout the interview, he urges viewers to “become your own central bank,” prepare outside the traditional system, and build parallel communities based on barter, precious metals, and local resilience.
