Mentor Sessions Ep. 081: Peter St. Onge and Larry Lepard discuss Fed rate cuts in 2026, AI industry bailout risk, Bitcoin price outlook,US debt debasement, and gold targets.The Fed's hawkish pivot is already unraveling — and Bitcoin, gold, and silver are the first to price it in. Peter St. Onge and Larry Lepard break down exactly why Kevin Warsh's tough talk is a script, not a policy, and what that means for sound money holders in 2026.You'll learn why Lepard believes rate cuts are coming before the midterms, why the AI industry is quietly lobbying for a defense-contractor-style bailout, and why the monetary debasement trade is nowhere near dead — despite what the financial press is saying. You'll also get specific price targets for Bitcoin ($180K–$200K), gold ($7,000), and silver ($200), plus an honest breakdown of Strategy/MSTR and Michael Saylor's evolving playbook. If you're trying to understand where macro is heading and how to position in sound money, this is the conversation.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:00 - Warsh: Hawk or Secret Dove?2:40 - Warsh More Dovish Than Rhetoric5:00 - Balance Sheet Hawks Get Punched6:25 - Rate Cuts Locked in Pre-Election9:29 - Debt Forces Money Supply Growth10:30 - AI Sets Up Government Bailout13:43 - Bitcoin Volatility and Long View14:25 - AI Crony Capitalism Playbook17:28 - AI Commoditizes in Three Weeks19:24 - Dot-Com Lessons for AI Buildout29:03 - Legitimate AI Grievance Energy Costs33:37 - Europe's Decline and US Advantage37:18 - Japan Yen Debasement Midterm Play46:34 - Saylor Strategy Bear Market Attacks51:59 - Bitcoin Mirrors Fiat Boom Bust54:07 - Gold Silver Bitcoin 2026 Targets57:52 - Monetary Debasement Trade Accelerates1:00:10 - Markets Embarrass Most Investors🔗 Links & Resources:→ Professor Peter St. Onge on X: https://x.com/profstonge→ Professor Peter St. Onge: https://www.profstonge.com/→ Larry Lepard / EMA Gavekal: https://www.ema2.com→ Lawrence Lepard: https://x.com/LawrenceLepard💡BOOK Private Sessions with Nathan, Benn and the BTC Mentor Team: Master self-custody, hardware, multisig, Lightning, privacy, and more. 👉 Visit btcmentor.io • Sovereign Sessions — AI, Privacy, and Bitcoin education: http://youtube.com/@SovereignSessions?sub_confirmation=1📌 Previous Episodes: Joe Carlasare, American HODL & Dr. Jeff Ross → https://youtu.be/i14Y81EGcVY⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.
