Video News/Outlook 2026

Lynette Zang warns the global system has shifted from the rule of law to what she calls a “Rule of Might,” citing U.S. seizures of Venezuelan oil and Russian vessels. Speaking with Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron in this 2026 outlook interview, Zang argued the banking system is “all underwater” and said a “full bail-in” is the next logical step as confidence erodes. She also pointed to an “Italian Blueprint” that she believes signals gold confiscation is back on the table. Zang laid out what she calls the “fundamental math” behind precious metals, arguing gold’s true value is $40,000 and silver is $2,000. She discussed whether the current pullback is a buying opportunity or a warning, and whether markets are entering a “melt-up” phase ahead of a currency reset. The conversation also covers how investors may protect themselves as property rights weaken and geopolitical tensions rise. Thanks to our sponsor, Discovery Silver, for making this coverage possible.
