A bombshell prediction is shaking the gold market: former White House economic advisor Judy Shelton has revealed that President Trump explicitly told his transition team he intends to use gold to back…

So could you first give us your elevator pitch on why it is that you believe that there's a strong chance or probability that we may see a gold backed Treasury bond announced with the July 4th, 2026 anniversary of our country?
I mean, again, I'm relying upon what Judy told me and In the first interview I did with her, let alone the book she's got written that the bestselling New York Times bestselling book, Good as Gold, let alone the numerous interviews she has done or discussions on X and all sorts of posts and articles she's written.
what I have done is take that statement and kind of add to it my feelings on the Genius Act, what Tether is doing, the need to bring back manufacturing, the comments that were made by Vice President Vance related to Triffin's dilemma or the previous economic advisor to the White House, Jared Bernstein, in his report to Throne King Dollar.
All of these things speak to an issue with being the world reserve currency and the inability to have a trade surplus as you're always running a trade imbalance as the world needs more dollars than we can provide through trade alone.
The constant selling of those currencies around the world to buy dollars to transact global business creates an environment where you have an inequity between the dollar being ultra strong against these currencies that are selling in the open market to accumulate dollars to purchase oil and to transact global business.
The currency is so depreciated against the dollar that manufacturing becomes much more economical, hollows out your manufacturing.
She said, Andy, in no uncertain terms, she said, verbatim, Andy, in no uncertain terms, President Trump told me when I was part of the transition team that on July 4th, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the country, the biggest day of his presidency, that he would intend to back a 50-year treasury with gold.
The thesis, in essence, a very quick thesis, I'll do it as quick as possible this time, is that we have a generation of young people who are in trouble.
My mentor, Richard Russell, used to say, Andy, there's only two ways out of this situation for the Federal Reserve because we don't manufacture anything anymore and we consume more than we produce.
