What's up, everybody? My name is Demetri Grafinis, and you're listening to Hidden Forces, a podcast that inspires investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens to challenge consensus narratives and learn how to think critically about the systems of power shaping our world.

What you're about to hear is the fifth episode in a podcast series hosted by me and my co-host, Grant Williams, titled The 100-Year Pivot. In it, we speak with some of the smartest and most plugged-in people we know to help position ourselves, our organizations, our families, and our portfolios for the once-in-a-century economic, political, and geopolitical reordering that we believe is currently underway.

In today's conversation, Grant and I speak with financial policy expert, author, and former chief economist for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Charles Kalamiris, about the sources of America's economic emergency and what our response can and should be to it once conditions push the country into a full-blown political crisis at some point over the next few years.

In this incredibly timely conversation, we examine what new all-time highs in gold and Bitcoin, along with rising long-term treasury yields, suggest about where we are on the path toward financial repression and its implications for investors, businesses, and everyday depositors in the country's banking system, which will be conscripted in the battle to fight the deficit as we go from spending like a banana republic to inflating like one.

We end the episode with a candid conversation about the sources of both America's decline and the country's potential for renewal once the reality of the current crisis becomes impossible to ignore.
