America's Next Move: Inflation, War & the Future of Money | Dr. Jim Willie | Free The Money Ep. 29 Dr. Jim Willie joins Free the Money to discuss why the conflict with Iran will continue to have consequences far beyond the Middle East. He argues that rising diesel prices, fertilizer shortages, and disruptions to global energy flows are creating conditions for a potential food crisis later this year, with Europe facing the greatest risk due to its dependence on imported oil. We also examine why Jim believes the bond market is rejecting Federal Reserve policy, what Kevin Warsh may face as the new Fed Chair, and the consequences of cutting rates in an environment of rising inflation and weakening demand for U.S. Treasuries. Jim explains why foreign demand for U.S. debt is weakening and outlines a controversial theory that America may increasingly use energy supply and military influence to secure Treasury buyers abroad. Finally, we discuss China's role in a changing global economy and why Jim believes XRP could emerge as a neutral bridge asset in a world where nations need to settle trade without relying on trust.

What is the Billions Network? | Free The Money Ep. 26 Evin McMullen evin, Co-Founder & CEO of Billions Network, joins Free the Money to discusses decentralized identity, AI agents, privacy, and the future of the internet. Evin explains Billions Network’s mission to “save the internet” in the age of AI and how the company is using zero-knowledge proofs to help verify trust online without exposing unnecessary personal data or relying entirely on centralized systems. We also dive into the risks of centralized identity projects like Worldcoin, the push for age verification laws, AI regulation, and why accountability in the age of autonomous agents may become one of the defining debates of our time. Plus, we explore how platforms like TikTok are already using Billions’ technology, what the future of digital advertising could look like with AI agents, and whether there is actually a middle path between total anonymity and a full surveillance state.

YOU’RE INVESTED IN THE AI BUBBLE… Whether You Know It or Not | Jack Gamble | Free the Money Ep. 41 I sit down with Nobody Special host of Nobody Special Finance to break down what he believes to be the “biggest misallocation of capital in history,” following the biggest monetary expansion in history. Jack explains the circular financing behind the AI boom and why he believes OpenAI and Anthropic’s massive spending is supporting the entire bubble, despite both companies losing tens of billions of dollars. We also discuss NVIDIA, CoreWeave, private credit increasingly financing the AI data-center buildout, and the debt being sold to people’s Pensions, 401Ks and IRAs. Jack refers to this as “one giant crowded trade that everybody is in, whether they realize it or not.” We get into the parallels with 2008, attempts to turn future GPU compute revenue into asset-backed securities, problems Jack sees developing in private equity and life insurance, and the warning signs surrounding a potential OpenAI IPO. Finally, Jack argues that “the real economy is doing very poorly, even though speculative asset bubbles are inflating more and more,” and explains how the enormous borrowing needs of the AI buildout are beginning to compete with the U.S. government for capital, putting upward pressure on interest rates.

Japan Could Trigger the Next Financial Crisis | Dr. Jim Willie | Free the Money Ep. 37 Dr. Jim Willie returns to Free the Money warning that the next several months could be critical for the economy. At the center of the conversation is Japan and the yen carry trade, particularly the recent joint U.S.–Japan intervention to support the yen. Jim argues that the bigger concern is what a disorderly carry trade unwind could mean for U.S. Treasuries, interest rates and the broader financial system. Key Points: •Jim says persistent high oil and diesel prices could significantly worsen economic conditions. Diesel is his key “litmus test” because of its impact on transportation, businesses and consumers. •The Fed faces a difficult tradeoff. Jim argues that high energy costs are creating “cost inflation” while the economy weakens, potentially forcing the Fed to cut rates despite continued inflation. •Jim believes the Yen carry trade is much larger than commonly acknowledged, potentially $5–7 trillion or more—with significant exposure across Wall Street, Japan and Europe. •An unwind could put pressure on U.S. Treasuries. Investors exiting yen funded trades may have to sell Treasuries and buy yen to repay their debt. Jim believes higher Japanese rates could accelerate that process and interprets the joint currency intervention as an effort to contain the risk. •Intervention may only buy time. Jim describes currency intervention as a “Band-Aid,” noting that previous attempts to strengthen the yen provided only temporary relief. •Higher U.S. rates could deepen economic weakness. Jim expects elevated Treasury yields to mean higher mortgage costs, more foreclosures and further housing weakness, predicting home prices could fall another 15–20%. •Jim sees a Middle East peace agreement as one possible pressure-release valve. He believes there is strong incentive for the Trump administration to move toward a broader agreement involving Iran, Gulf Arab states and Israel, potentially connected to an expansion of the Abraham Accords. •The bigger question is confidence in the dollar-based system. Jim describes the yen, euro and pound as essentially “dollars with a different jacket on” and believes Treasury-market instability could accelerate the move away from using U.S. government debt in international settlement.

Why the U.S. May WANT a Weaker Dollar | Andy Schectman | Free the Money Ep. 33 In this episode, I'm joined by Andy Schectman, founder and CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to discuss what he believes is the quiet restructuring of the global monetary system. We explore why central banks are aggressively repatriating their gold reserves, the expansion of new gold vaulting, clearing, and settlement infrastructure across Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Mumbai, Saudi Arabia, and the Belt and Road Initiative, and why Andy believes these new financial rails are laying the foundation for an alternative to the Western monetary system. Andy breaks down why he believes Triffin's Dilemma is at the heart of America's manufacturing decline, arguing that reserve currency status has hollowed out U.S. industry while the nation faces an estimated $200 trillion in total liabilities. We also discuss how proposals from Judy Shelton and Paul Winfree for gold-backed Treasury instruments could restore confidence in the Treasury market, weaken the dollar, rebuild American manufacturing, and provide a path out of the debt crisis. Andy explains how the GENIUS Act creates structural demand for short-term U.S. Treasuries through stablecoin issuers. He points to Tether, which already earns billions of dollars in interest from its Treasury holdings and has become one of the world's largest private buyers of gold. Andy also shares his theory that Tether could be acting as a proxy for the U.S. government—or even the Exchange Stabilization Fund—to quietly accumulate gold while keeping the government's direct involvement out of the market. We also discuss China's record silver imports despite falling prices, what massive physical gold deliveries could be signaling beneath the paper market, whether a gold revaluation is possible, AI's impact on jobs and the economy, and why Andy believes gold, silver, and financial privacy will become increasingly important in the years ahead.

If the 10-Year Hits 5%, “Lehman Times Five” Is Coming | Dr. Jim Willie | Free the Money Ep. 42 Dr. Jim Willie returns to Free the Money for a wide-ranging conversation on the growing pressure inside the global financial system. At the center of the discussion is the U.S. Treasury market, as trillions of dollars of debt mature while foreign buyers become less reliable and borrowing needs continue to rise. Jim argues this could push the U.S. toward increasingly aggressive debt monetization. He also explains why Japan and the yen carry trade could add even more pressure to the Treasury market and potentially become a catalyst for broader financial instability.

With Brent crude above $100 and Europe heavily dependent on imported energy, he argues the energy shock could accelerate industrial decline, political instability and ultimately the disintegration of the European Union, with Germany particularly vulnerable because of its energy-dependent manufacturing base. -A 5% 10-year Treasury yield is Jim’s major danger line. He predicts that crossing it could trigger a stock-market correction, a major decline in residential real estate and a wave of foreclosures. With more than $10 trillion in Treasuries maturing this year, he believes the pressure could become far larger than 2008 once combined with an unwind of the yen carry trade. -Jim believes the U.S. is being pushed toward outright debt monetization because there simply aren’t enough natural buyers for all the debt. His argument is straightforward: when Treasuries mature or foreign holders sell and no replacement buyer appears, the government will ultimately print money to absorb the debt. He calls monetization of U.S. government debt potentially “one of the biggest stories of the century.” -Jim believes BRICS nations and other foreign holders have a growing incentive to dump U.S. Treasuries. He argues countries increasingly view Treasuries as vulnerable to sanctions, asset freezes and confiscation, while major financial institutions are also selling as bond prices fall. In his view, central banks converting Treasuries into gold is part of the same move away from sovereign debt. -The yen carry trade is one of Jim’s biggest systemic risks. He rejects public estimates that put the trade in the hundreds of billions and says he believes it is at least $4 trillion. As the yen strengthens and institutions face losses on both their Treasury holdings and yen-funded borrowing, he expects a multi-trillion-dollar rush to sell Treasuries that could become the bond crisis. -Jim believes XRP could become a neutral global settlement asset as confidence in government debt deteriorates. He argues that countries doing bilateral trade will increasingly want something other than another nation’s depreciating sovereign debt, and he sees tokenized stocks, bonds and potentially derivatives creating a much larger settlement role for XRP. 0:00 US vs. The City of London 2:27 Strait of Hormuz & Global Oil Flows 6:12 $106 Oil & Europe’s Energy Crisis 12:17 The European Union Breaking Apart 15:04 China vs. US Energy Security 17:00 10-Year Treasury Nears 5% 18:29 $10 Trillion in Treasuries Maturing 20:33 Yield Curve Control & Debt Monetization 27:08 Treasury Buybacks & Operation Twist 28:01 Bessent, Japan & the Yen Carry Trade 31:30 Sovereign Debt Crisis 36:23 Zano Ad 44:00 BRICS Dumping US Treasuries 50:34 Yen Carry Trade Unwind 59:40 XRP as a Global Settlement Asset 1:05:07 Gold & Silver 1:08:48 Silver Shortage & Wall Street Banks 1:10:15 Could Gold Be Repriced?

If the 10-Year Hits 5%, “Lehman Times Five” Is Coming | Dr. Jim Willie | Free the Money Ep. 42 Dr. Jim Willie returns to Free the Money for a wide-ranging conversation on the growing pressure inside the global financial system. At the center of the discussion is the U.S. Treasury market, as trillions of dollars of debt mature while foreign buyers become less reliable and borrowing needs continue to rise. Jim argues this could push the U.S. toward increasingly aggressive debt monetization. He also explains why Japan and the yen carry trade could add even more pressure to the Treasury market and potentially become a catalyst for broader financial instability.

Ep. 10 Free The Money | Dr. Jim Willie on the Changing Global Financial System In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jim Willie, who breaks down how the global financial system is unraveling at the plumbing level. We start with the bond market, explaining how years of hidden leverage and growing liquidity shortages are stressing the system beneath the surface. He explains why silver is the pressure point that exposes this leverage, how gold is being quietly revalued, and why these developments signal a broader reset already underway. We explore how BRICS countries are accelerating de-dollarization by moving trade and settlement away from U.S. financial infrastructure in response to sanctions, frozen reserves, and declining trust in the dollar. These pressures ultimately expose the breakdown of correspondent banking and legacy payment rails, where liquidity and settlement speed now matter more than price. This leads into a direct discussion of Ripple and XRP, and why a neutral bridge asset becomes necessary when capital can no longer move efficiently through the existing system.

Lyn Ulbricht: A Mother's 12-Year Fight to Free Ross Ulbricht | Free The Money Ep. 30 Lyn Ulbricht joins Free The Money to share the extraordinary story of her 12-year fight to free her son, Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road. She reflects on the shock of Ross's double life sentence plus 40 years without parole, why she believes the punishment was politically motivated, and how a grassroots movement ultimately helped secure his freedom. We also discuss the War on Drugs, the prison industrial complex, and the devastating impact harsh sentencing has on families and communities. Lyn explains why she founded Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing and why her advocacy continues even after Ross returned home. The conversation then turns to the growing prosecution of privacy technology developers, the future of financial privacy, free speech, and innovation in America. From Ross Ulbricht to Roger Ver, Tornado Cash, and Samourai Wallet, we discuss how these cases are making examples of individuals whose ideas, technologies, and beliefs threaten the existing system. This is a powerful discussion about faith, perseverance, freedom, and a mother's endless love. Cruel sentencing policies have made the U.S. the biggest incarcerator in the world.

🚨 NEW: For a year, I've watched the growing campaign against AI data centers, from protests over water and electricity that include a sophisticated pro-China communist and socialist activist ecosystem mobilizing opposition across the country. Today, there's a new proposal aimed at changing that debate: "data center dividends" for the communities and their residents who have data centers as their neighbors. They could amount to as much as $8,900 a year per person. What do you think? A new report by the Bitcoin Policy Institute Institute proposes the idea of "data center dividends" that could push cash in the pockets of Americans. 🎥 Watch my interview with Sam Lyman, the head of resarch and a former senior advisor and speech writer to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, as he explains the idea. The concept: instead of communities simply selling land for AI infrastructure, residents could receive annual payments, tax credits, utility bill credits or scholarship funds financed by the existing property tax revenue generated by the data centers, without raising taxes or increasing costs for developers. Researchers estimate a typical rural household could receive about $4,500 to $8,900 a year, with some communities potentially receiving even more. The idea is simple: if rural America is helping power the AI revolution, shouldn't rural Americans share directly in the economic gains? In my latest Fox News Digital report, I break down the proposal, the politics behind it and why its supporters believe it could reverse the growing backlash against data centers. 📖 Read the full story:

“BACKWARDS AND POOR”: TRUMP’S MESSAGE TO TOWNS THAT REJECT DATA CENTERS President Trump says communities that reject data centers are choosing to be “backward and poor.” He calls them the “golden goose” and argues China “could not be happier” to see Americans push back against the AI buildout. The message is clear: stop asking questions. Accept the data centers in your community, or you are helping Beijing win. But public opposition is growing across party lines. Communities are raising concerns about water use, power demand, land, and the local cost of a massive AI infrastructure boom. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says those concerns are foreign propaganda. “Data centers don’t use water,” he claims. That is a major reversal from Lutnick’s own position last year, when he acknowledged that data centers “suck water.” Now, anyone who says the same is accused of repeating enemy propaganda. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimated that U.S. data centers directly consumed roughly 17 billion gallons of water in 2023, before the current AI buildout accelerated. Yes, America is competing with China in artificial intelligence. But invoking China should not end the conversation about what this buildout costs local communities. Mike Adams (HealthRanger) joins me to break down the data-center push, the water question, and why the China argument does not tell the whole story.

We need the data centers. We have to win the AI race. My guest for episode 5 of Counterweight is Manhattan Institute's Judge Glock. This spring he wrote about Loudoun County, VA in City Journal. Loudoun, one of the richest counties in America, with a median household income of around $170,000, has become the unlikely center of a new data center-based industrial revolution. And it's not just Loudoun. Data center construction is up about twenty times nationwide in three years, leading to an enormous political backlash. New York State imposed a moratorium on data center construction, and even Republican Greg Abbott of Texas has put a temporary pause in place. Meanwhile, speaking for myself, I’ve seen a ton of fear-mongering about them, with very little in the way of clear explanation of what the costs and benefits are and what they mean for the localities that might bring them in. I've brought Judge on to walk through in granular detail how data centers work, how Loudoun County became ground zero for the data center boom, and the recent pushback against data centers. We also talk about the unfortunate habit that AI CEOs have of seeming like the gloomiest people in the world in relation to the products they are trying to sell.

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70% Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned. Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE) Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers. An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand. There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same Ban secret sweetheart deals Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers This needs to be done immediately

Emerald AI founder Varun Sivaram reveals how America could unlock 100 GW for AI data centers without building a new grid: "Emerald AI transforms these AI data centers into what we call flexible grid allies, capable of reducing the power consumption of AI during the exact moments when the grid is stressed out." "The grid is kind of like a highway. Think of it like a big eight-lane highway, and it's empty most of the time. There's plenty of power transmission capacity, power generation capacity. It's used 50% on average, except for two times every month when it faces rush hour." "On those rare moments, if AI data centers are able to control their power consumption, they can use this vast available capacity, 100 gigawatts, the rest of the year. We make data centers flexible in order to fit them onto the grid right now, and that does two important things." "First, it enables us to get data centers connected right now, $4 trillion of infrastructure that can't connect. Second, it helps us to keep rates low for local communities." Emerald AI

Banking and development economist Richard Werner says the real reason we are seeing so many Data Centers being put up so quickly is because they are building the surveillance and digital currency network right now “We are so close to the scariest, most dystopian system. This is what the drive to build all these thousands of data centers is about, to micromanage the world's population through the New Financial World Order. AI is really about that. We're heading towards digital control systems where we have no more control over our liquid assets. It will be programmable, permission-based, so only what the central planners allow you to use your money for, at what time and place and location will be permitted. And if you're in the wrong place, it's not going to work. And If you're buying the wrong book, it's not gonna work. Your money won't work outside a certain zone, whether it's 15-minute prison zone or whatever it may be. It is the totalitarian dictator's dream come true” Here’s what he’s saying Data centers as infrastructure for control The data centers are essential for the massive computing power needed to track, analyze, and micromanage billions of transactions in real-time under a “New Financial World Order.” This includes enforcing rules on what you can buy, where you can spend, and when “15-minute city” style geographic restrictions or blacklisting certain purchases He’s saying AI isn’t just for chatbots or efficiency. It’s the perfect tool for the surveillance, predictive analytics, and an automated enforcement layer on top of digital money I think he’s right. I also think it’s for the massive camera infrastructure being installed all over America with Flock It’s all connected. This is the surveillance state being constructed
