The Fed Admitted It. The Treasury Blew It. The CPI Lied

Key takeaways

Peter Schiff argues that the Fed, the Treasury, and official inflation data are all telling a story that doesn’t match reality, and that markets are misreading the moment. In this episode of The Peter Schiff Show, he walks through falling AI-linked stocks, rising oil and inflation pressures, and what he sees as a Fed chair who admits responsibility for inflation but offers only talk.

Peter Schiff points to the sharp slide in SpaceX shares since its IPO, noting the stock trades below its $1.35 offering price and that a tiny float is set to expand roughly eightfold as locked-up shares become tradable by year end. He frames the broader market weakness as a sign that speculative froth in AI is fading.

On inflation, Peter Schiff contends that official CPI and PPI readings understate reality. He highlights import prices up 7.1% and export prices up 10.2% year over year as a more honest gauge of what Americans pay. He also cites Fed chair Kevin Warsh’s Senate testimony that monetary policy caused inflation, while questioning why the Fed keeps expanding its balance sheet.

Peter Schiff also criticizes Truth Social access sold ahead of public posts, which he says amounts to paid insider access to market-moving information, and questions the Treasury Secretary’s claim that old silver and gold certificates can still be redeemed.

  • Peter Schiff says the AI bubble may be deflating, with SpaceX down about 45% from its post-IPO high.
  • He argues import and export price data show stronger inflation pressure than the official CPI and PPI.
  • According to Peter Schiff, Kevin Warsh admitted monetary policy caused inflation but offered only talk about fixing it.
  • Peter Schiff warns that paid early access to presidential posts is a market-moving grift.
  • He contends gold and silver remain strong buying opportunities despite recent pullbacks.
  • Peter Schiff frames his own Fox News removal and bank case as evidence of government retaliation against critics.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox viewers that old silver and gold certificates can still be redeemed at Fort Knox. Gold certificates were repudiated in 1933 and silver certificates in 1968. Peter Schiff argues that if the man who signs the currency does not know basic monetary history, there is no reason to trust his assurance that the gold in Fort Knox is all there.
Markets confirmed the AI bubble is deflating. SpaceX fell 13.25% on the week to close below $124, under its $135 IPO price, and anyone who bought the post-IPO high near $225 is down 45%. Only about 5% of the company trades today, but lockups expire through year end and take the float to roughly 40%, an eightfold increase in supply. Gold closed at $4,017 and silver at $55.83, which Schiff calls a head fake created by the false narrative that war is bad for gold.
The honest inflation numbers tell a different story than the CPI: import prices are up 7.1% year over year and export prices are up 10.2%, against a reported 3.5%. Kevin Warsh admitted in Senate testimony that monetary policy caused the inflation, then offered a plan that amounts to talking about it while the Fed’s balance sheet grew another $7.4 billion. Schiff also covers Trump selling paid early access to market-moving posts and explosive new FOIA emails showing Euro Pacific Bank was shut down for publicity, with the Australian Tax Office driving the operation to protect a journalist facing his defamation suit.
