In this interview, Kerry Lutz speaks with Michael Pento about how liquidity may already be expanding by as much as $20 billion per week, quietly pushing the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet back toward $7 trillion — despite continued claims of tight policy.

He warns that the next recession could bring massive deficits in the $4–6 trillion range, potentially forcing the Fed to become the primary buyer of U.S. debt once again. If that happens, inflation may not be accidental — it could be the result of outright monetization.

Pento also points to historically extreme valuations in stocks and housing, suggesting markets may need a significant reset to return to long-term norms.

He believes gold remains in a long-term bull market and could accelerate higher as recession pressures mount and monetary expansion increases.

Pento outlines a defensive approach that includes holding physical gold, adjusting liquidity as conditions change, and watching credit markets for early signs of stress.

These long-term cycles are explored in The Armstrong Economic Code— and understanding them may help investors prepare for what comes next.
