The U.S. debt crisis is spiraling and Larry McDonald says the market hasn’t priced it in.

With over $37 trillion in debt and $1 trillion in annual interest payments, the U.S. is barreling toward what McDonald calls a “Liz Truss moment”: a surge in bond issuance that could trigger market chaos. In this eye-opening interview, The Bear Traps Report founder and bestselling author joins James Connor to explain why we’re entering a stagflationary regime eerily similar to the 1970s and why your portfolio needs to adapt.

Topics discussed in part I:

Why the U.S. faces a debt-driven crisis of confidence
The real S&P 500 earnings (hint: it’s not $270, but much lower)
A $4 trillion rotation out of Big Tech
How capital is fleeing U.S. markets and into global value
Why hard assets like gold, oil, copper, and coal are set to outperform
What “financial repression” means for your money

Don’t miss part II of this insightful and actionable interview coming out tomorrow!
