During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Grant if things over the last month behind the scenes were worse than the 2008 financial crisis? Grant thinks that things were a lot worse than 2008 but that the Fed rolled out a lot more bailout programs that are larger in size than in 2008 and also rolled out the bailout programs considerably faster than in 2008. Grant thinks that the Fed is so desperate that they will buy stocks soon (somehow) and that there's more problems to come in corporate bonds. Jason also asks Grant about the chaos with the US Dollar and this massive global margin call on the Dollar, what the Fed can do to stop it, the physical shortage in gold, how well positioned gold miners are and his opinion about the oil market crash since the first week of January 2020.
