Could This Be the Biggest Gold Announcement in Decades? Andy Schectman & Michelle Makori

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO, Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to discuss a theory that is gaining traction among gold investors ahead of July 4th: could the Trump administration unveil a major gold-related initiative that reshapes the global monetary system?

The conversation explores the implications of Kevin Warsh’s appointment as Fed Chair, the hiring of Project 2025 contributor Paul Winfree, the passage of the GENIUS Act, China’s continued gold accumulation, the rollout of mBridge, and the growing challenge to the dollar-centric financial order.

Part 2 of 2: Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with economist, monetary historian, and precious metals expert Alasdair Macleod to discuss what he believes could be the biggest threats facing the global financial system.

Macleod explains why disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz and sulfuric acid supplies could impact global silver production, why China may have abandoned its long-standing policy of suppressing silver prices, and why he believes silver should increasingly be viewed as an industrial metal rather than simply a precious metal.
