In this episode, Peter Schiff discusses the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), comparing it to Ronald Reagan's Grace Commission and deliberates on its ability to make budget cuts. He addresses issues such as waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs, highlighting problems like social security payouts to deceased individuals. Schiff emphasizes the inefficiency and abuse inherent in government operations and argues for the necessity of minimizing government size to reduce waste. He touches on the worsening debt-to-GDP ratio, the potential economic consequences of Donald Trump's policies, and the importance of purchasing gold and gold stocks amidst rising inflation and a weakening dollar. Finally, he contemplates the implications of a potential audit of the U.S. gold reserves in Fort Knox.
