Living through the financial collapse of 2008 was one of the biggest economical swings this current generation has seen, until now?
It's hard to see what's actually happening when you're in the middle of it, and that's exactly why I bring experts with a wide range of experiences and insights to the show. A lot of you are in the crossroads and feeling the pain of how much higher your grocery bill is for the same amount of food. If you were on track with a decent savings account a couple of years ago (especially if you took advantage of the stimulus money that got us where we are now� we'll talk about that today) you noticed your savings are virtually non-existent now.
Working 2 to 3 jobs was once reserved for the hustler on a mission trying to work towards something major, and now it's the standard for many people just to make ends meet!
My guest today not only accurately predicted the 2008 financial collapse, he's a seasoned Wall Street prognosticator known for his spot on predictions of the stock market performance, including gold, commodities, and the might dollar.
Peter Schiff is breaking down for us the mind-games government uses with data to ease the pain we all know to be a rapidly declining standard of living and exposing how the Fed's inflation strategies are destroying the American economy.
- Expose the fallacy of inflation being needed to stimulate the economy and spending
- Capitalism's role in creating freedom and opportunities
- Why anti-discrimination laws create more prejudice
Is a depression greater than the Great Depression we all ready about in US history on the horizon for the US? If record numbers of credit card debt and student loan debts serve as any kind of indication of what's looming around the corner, you'll want to take notes and really think through this for yourself and your family.
This is Impact Theory and this episode is about thinking through not just how to survive the next economic crisis, but how to get ahead of most and actually thrive.
PETER SCHIFF QUOTES:
'When the government prints their way out of a short term problem they print their way into a an even larger long term problem.'
'The fact that we have an economy that is based in spending, that is the problem. That's part of the bubble, we have a bubble economy. A legitimate economy would not be based on spending, it would be based on savings and production.'
'Money is supposed to have real value. It's not supposed to be conjured into existence out of thin air by a central bank.'
'A lot of people believe that capitalism is evil, but capitalism is the least evil economic system that exist.'
'Capitalism created the American middle class. Without capitalism there wouldn't have been a middle class. There would have just been a bunch of poor people and some rich bureaucrats at the top that were sucking the life blood out of everybody else.'
'You don't get rich by hoarding your money because if your money is hoarded it doesn't grow. The way people get rich is by investing their money, by creating economic growth, by producing more products, by providing more employment.'
'The inherent flaw isn't capitalism, it's democracy.'

This has been a great natiuonal economics analysts of 2024, but absolutely hopeless economic theory. Many countries have proved your hypothesies to be incorrect. First, we all agree with you about the motivational components of private enterprise. The entire point of government has always been to prevent private enterprise from being exploitative. Free trade is not private enterprise per se, but private enterprise that government permits to be exploitative by sneakily making laws that favour corporations. Australia from 1948 to now, conclusively proves this. Prior to 1976, Australia was the most egalitarian and prosperous nation on the planet. There was no poverty, no homelessness, and every worker had access to home and car ownership, plus 2 weeks paid holiday each year. In 1975, the US took Australia by coup (CIA) and from that day onwards, the media, corporations, parliament, education, and every factor that protected families and individuals from exploitation, was taken over by the US. We are now the unrepresented 51st state. Military takeover has progressed since them. The is free trade in action... that is, the freedom of corporations to erase private enterprise and the mechanisms that prevent exploitation. Basically, Peter, all you do is tell me you have only read one book, Atlas Shrugged, and you have never studied any other economy except that of the US. You have inserted your own definitions into the entire economic analysis of history. Now is not the time nor place, but take me on with bulleted arguments and I will demolish you on all counts. By the way, Ayn Rand also had only read one book...Atlas Shrugged.

Under Clinton we did amazing. We had a surplus and were liked in many countries. Capitalism is for the rich. Pay more federal taxes Schiff. Not everyone is wealthy. Someone has to clean our bathrooms and pick our fruit. He has no idea. Grrrrrrr.

You’re a jerk. Biden did great coming out of Covid. And it’s Trump that can’t remember where he is or who his wife was in a photo, so ok…..we shall now see. Of course, you will stand trumps failure can be blamed on Biden. A real creep, you are.

I stopped spending money. ,I lost my job to medical issues and can't even get disability in my state. Just rediculious how inflated everything is while ceos get richer. American dream has been dead for years
@andypadova Says:
Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years.

Same thing in Canada we still have to pay taxes even if I live abroad, but guess what I am still moving out and will be paying what ever to not having my Canadian citizenship.
@PeleLua1 Says:
We already tried top down economics. Guess what. It doesn’t work. Rich are richer. No one was feeding the poor. No one was paying a persons medical bills. No one was building houses for the homeless. It DIDNT work.
@Jessi8074 Says:
Sorry but this guy is an idiot. Greed has caused prolonged inflation at grocery stores, housing costs, etc. Biden did an amazing job. No one wanted to give him an ounce of credit. That’s why Trump is back. Like a disease we can’t shake

@1cginni Says:
And this exactly why they didn’t vote for the Democrats! People are really really ready for a change. The negative Nellies are wanting their money train to stay and the pro positive people are wanting everyone to win! America needs to have the focus back on America and their own people and their own economy and let the rest deal on their own otherwise we are not going to survive! 😢

1.5 hours in and finally the economy stuff I was here for!
@PersianTangelo Says:
I’m not interest in whether you are tolerant and are pro or anti racism.
I just think your ideas have holes one could drive a car through. Could you start talking about the economy? I didn’t come here for a discourse on social morals.
Finally! We are talking about money and not his amateur social opinions.
@PersianTangelo Says:
So it’s not government that destroyers the black community only. It didn’t help but it was t the reason.
So black men tended to work in industry. In the south, after slavery, there was “separate but equal”, horrible schools and sharecropping (another horrible feature of capitalism) and so black men rarely had those white collar jobs. When those jobs went overseas and there was the deindustrialization of the inner cities; black men became less economically viable. Since they were last hired, first fired ; they lost their jobs.
Women marry men who can provide for them and their families. Black men couldn’t and this damaged the family unit.
- then the culture changed. Baby mammas became acceptable. Marriage became optional. This entrenched poverty. The cultural change is actually not 100% related to government programs , see “coming apart by Charles Murray”
And also the government policies of helping single mothers did sometimes penalize women who were married and had husbands at home.
See how it’s not as simple as “government bad”
If this guy can’t get basic things like this right, how can he correctly predict economic collapse?

@Wizard_of_Light Says:
I agree with most of what he said. He is a smart man, know his theory well.
But something he failed to address is monopoly. Monopolies will always ultimately win free market. It is an inevitability. And monopolies need governments to enforce their controls.
Exactly what is happening right now. And as we can see, monopolies are short sighted. They want profit. Higher inflation means higher growth, in a system of infinite growth.
Food corporations are the worst in that cartel of corporations. Because they know people will need food, they gouge the food prices. The control the entire chain of production, from start to finish. They are some of the worst offender at the capitalism game. And once they control a bigger share of the market, they can diversify in other sectors that has nothing to do with food.
In the end, Marx rejoin a lot of this man on their theory. That governement is not the answer.

I think he is wrong. It will go bad now with trump at the helm. It's been good.

Tom I am so sorry for the way this interview went. Totally out of context. Thank you for reeling him back to the economy instead of his own personal warped views on racism, labor,Capitalism, protection laws, I could go on. This guy had nothing but prejudice views!

Going to laugh at trump every day when he realizes he screwed up but he won't admit it
@brooklynbummer Says:
The econo,y is not in a recession or depression but we are heading that way, in the near future. Debt is high in all segments of our economy. Trumps plans are all inflationary and will hurt the economy. If Biden’s economy is so bad, it will look great once Trump after Trumps economy.

This guy should go to work for fox fake news so he can make more money lieing to you
@davidwilfong5820 Says:
Ok let's back the truck up red Biden came in to office with Trumps economy and straighted it out so we have a decent economy now you Trump supporters voted him back in and we are heading for a recession Trump ran the national debt up to 8 trillion dollars and sent our jobs overseas
@gjacobson76 Says:
What drugs is Peter on? I agree with some of his points, but he needs to understand why certain government agencies and programs we created in the first place. If he would like to donate some money to help me, it would be appreciated. I have an incurable cancer and had to go on disability. I was 40 when I got sick and my daughter was 4 and my son was 2. I relapsed once and almost lost my home. I went 6 month without a pay check. I did not qualify for food assistance. I am struggling. On top of my cancer and other health issues, my son is autistic and has type 1 diabetes. So he can sit there and run his mouth, and I will tell you all he is mostly full of it!

@tnightwolf Says:
People that believe in Peter Schiff have to be some of the dumbest on this planet! The irony is that, how thinks, is one of the reasons why Capitalism/Free-Market theory is already destroyed and is about to be erradicated from existence during the Donald Trump presidency. It will be wild to see what this guy defends to come into action and see the US simply crumble.
@movieklump Says:
The man who called the 2008 recession and the 2012 recession and the 2014 recession and the 2016 recession and the 2018 recession and the 2020 recession and the 2023 recession and the 2024 recession. One out of eight ain't bad. This is man who cried wolf economics.

@stuartmckenzie8095 Says:
Good channel; but far too many ads, it dilutes the flow and basically makes the channel look like it’s all about the revenue. Peter what the Governments Worldwide did in Covid wasn’t a mistake, it was all well engineered, the system is coming into a new era of reset. It’s basically just a bull run for the rich to use the dummy money to buy all the little mans assets as this Banksters recession finally takes everything. Covid was manufactured a five year medical experiment (amongst other things)before the winners take it all. The Banksters rule the World, they choose what country has the power. Capitalism abused makes Banksters.

@DarkMatterForge Says:
Around the 2:43 mark he Peter talks about how debts might be erased and creditors will disappear. Is that something that could happen with car loans and Mortgages as well? If the creditors 'disappear' then what does that mean for the people with those cars and homes that may have owed so much? Will they likely loose their property if the US dollar collapses and banks won't take the money for payment? Could they even refuse the payment since there is a contract? Or is the property now open, without an owner? What happens to the deeds and titles that the banks are holding on to if the banks disappear?
