(VIDEO/AUDIO AVAILABLE) Money Metals CEO Stefan Gleason joined Chris Marcus on Arcadia Economics to discuss Donald Trump’s renewed push for a Fort Knox gold audit, raising major questions about U.S. gold reserves, outdated auditing practices, gold market intervention, and America’s financial preparedness.
Gleason explained that Fort Knox has never undergone a fully transparent modern audit and warned that broken vault seals, incomplete inventory procedures, and decades-old paperwork audits undermine confidence in the nation’s reported 8,000 tons of gold holdings.
He also revealed that most U.S. gold reserves are only about 90% pure and would require massive refining efforts to meet today’s global “good delivery” standards, potentially taking 20 to 30 years using existing U.S. refinery capacity.
The interview also explored central bank gold buying, de-dollarization trends, Federal Reserve gold market activity, silver price manipulation concerns, and the growing demand for physical gold among investors.
Gleason discussed how countries like France and Germany have already upgraded and repatriated their gold reserves while the United States remains unprepared for a future financial crisis involving gold-backed stability measures.
Additional topics included soaring gold prices, silver premiums collapsing due to increased retail selling, Asian-American gold demand trends, and the broader outlook for the precious metals market.
The discussion offers key insights into Fort Knox, U.S. Treasury gold reserves, gold audits, gold investing, silver investing, inflation hedges, and the future of sound money policy in America.
