Liberty and Finance, Released on 11/16/24 (Recorded on 11/15/24)

Dunagun Kaiser and John Rubino examine the implications of the recent election on financial markets, government policies, and the broader political landscape. Rubino emphasizes the looming existential threat posed by the commercial real estate crisis, particularly its potential to destabilize regional banks. As office vacancies rise and property values plummet, these banks—heavily exposed to commercial real estate—face the risk of severe losses, triggering widespread loan defaults. This could lead to a cascade of financial instability, putting immense pressure on the banking system. Rubino also discusses the political resistance the new administration will likely face, the broader economic challenges ahead, and the role of precious metals as a hedge against growing uncertainty.
