Discussing Venezuela, Iran, and global tensions, Moriarty argues that these conflicts are not about oil or resources, but about maintaining Western economic dominance. He believes the current geopolitical landscape represents a fundamental shift, with the West's debt-based system collapsing while Eastern nations like China, Russia, and Iran are becoming increasingly powerful. He emphasizes that these countries are not enemies of the West, but are simply defending their interests.

Moriarty is particularly critical of U.S. foreign policy, describing current leadership as potentially the worst in world history. He warns of a potential financial collapse, comparing the current economic situation to 1929, but "ten times worse." He strongly advocates for a return to a gold or silver-backed monetary system as a solution to the impending economic crisis. On precious metals, Moriarty is bullish, believing silver and gold are critical protection during financial chaos.

He sees significant potential in these metals, noting their historical monetary importance and current industrial applications. He predicts a potential return to a gold or silver standard within the next decade. The discussion also touches on global conflicts, including potential tensions with Iran, the Ukraine-Russia war, and U.S. interventionist policies. Moriarty's perspective is unequivocal: the United States risks significant losses by pursuing aggressive military and economic strategies. He argues that the world is witnessing a fundamental restructuring of global economic and political power, with the Western debt-based system facing inevitable collapse.
