Financial Survival Network, Released on 5/26/25

In this explosive episode of the Financial Survival Network, Kerry Lutz welcomes back financial analyst John Rubino to unpack the global economic and geopolitical chaos brewing beneath the surface. Rubino warns that rising interest rates are pushing indebted nations—especially the U.S., Japan, and Europe—into a deadly fiscal spiral. With 30- and 40-year bonds spiking, credit ratings being quietly downgraded, and central banks losing control, the entire system could be on the verge of collapse. He calls it a potential black swan event that might trigger the end of the financial world as we know it.

They also dive deep into:

• The true creditworthiness of the U.S. (hint: it ain’t AAA)
• How Trump is bulldozing the DEI industrial complex and reshaping geopolitics
• Whether China’s economy is imploding—and if Xi’s time is almost up
• A wild breakdown of Euro leaders doing coke on a train (yes, seriously)
• The weaponization of AI, courts, NGOs, and even Teslas for political suppression
• And for the goldbugs: is this the moment to stack? Or should you wait?
• Don’t miss the quote that might define the next decade of economic history.
