They can't stop it.

It's going down.

Walker America is joined by legendary investor and sound money advocate Lawrence “Larry” Lepard to break down the global macro storm that’s unfolding right now. Larry explains why the U.S. is trapped in a debt doom loop, how shadow yield curve control signals stealth money printing, and why inflation is set to roar back harder in 2025. We dive into the national debt passing $37 trillion, M2 growth, bond yields, and why fiat currencies everywhere are failing faster than most people realize. Larry also unpacks the historical patterns of gold leading inflation waves while Bitcoin follows with explosive gains, and why Bitcoin’s fixed supply makes it the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement. Together, Walker and Larry connect the dots between the Fourth Turning, long-term debt cycles, political instability, AI, and Bitcoin—showing how all cycles are converging toward a historic reset. If you want to understand why Larry Lepard believes Bitcoin and gold are the lifeboats in a sinking fiat Titanic—and why this decade could bring the biggest wealth transfer in history—this is a must-watch. What you’ll learn: - Why U.S. debt and deficits guarantee higher inflation ahead - How M2 growth, bond yields, and Fed/Treasury actions reveal the truth - Why Bitcoin and gold are the best protection in the coming reset - How the Fourth Turning, anacyclosis, and debt cycles converge with Bitcoin - Larry’s price outlook for gold ($4,000) and Bitcoin ($140k+) by end of 2025 - Why “nothing stops this train”—and how to prepare your family.
