Government “shutdowns,” tariff hype, and sketchy jobs data—Alan Mosley and Money Metals’ Mike Maharrey expose the theater and give you five practical moves to protect your purchasing power.

For this Halloween special interview on Alan Mosley's show, It's Too Late, Alan Mosley is dressed as Ash Ketchum from Pokémon, while Mike Maharrey is dressed as a hockey goalie - which he has been for several decades now.

You’ll learn what a shutdown really changes (and what it doesn’t), why tariffs can’t replace income taxes, how BLS revisions distort the labor picture, and why gold & silver strength signals fiat weakness—not just market hype.

The 5 Insider Secrets to Survive Inflation

1. Spot Shutdown Theater: Essential functions keep running; politicians manufacture pain to force deals—don’t panic your finances over headlines.

2. Don’t Fall for the Tariff Myth: Even record customs duties can’t replace income taxes; tariffs are a small slice vs. $500B+ monthly federal outlays.

3. Read Jobs Data Skeptically: Revisions are mostly downward; part-time/gig additions can mask real labor weakness—look beyond the headline print.

4. Think in Real Money Terms: Price assets in gold to strip out inflation; rising stock indexes can still lose value when measured in sound money.

5. Hedge with Bullion, Not Hype: Use gold and silver to defend long-term purchasing power; consider steady accumulation rather than market timing.
