Monetary Reset’s First Step Less Than 10 Months Away – Next Independence Day Redefines Dollar & Gold
About this episode
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Dr. Judy Shelton, former Federal Reserve nominee and former senior economic advisor to President Donald Trump, about a potential turning point for the U.S. dollar coming July 4, 2026 – the nation’s 250th anniversary. Dr. Shelton reveals that her idea is gaining traction in Washington – a gold-linked U.S. Treasury bond that could redefine America’s monetary system.
Dr. Shelton, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Author of 'Good as Gold,' discusses how these bonds could restore faith in the U.S. dollar, offset currency debasement fears, and bring the dollar back to a form of sound money. Could this be America’s Independence Day Reset – a turning point that re-anchors the dollar to gold and restores monetary trust?
Dr. Shelton also tells Makori about a potential Fort Knox gold audit that could be in motion under the Gold Reserve Transparency Act and explores the implications of a gold revaluation, the U.S. strategic position in global finance, and the future of monetary systems anchored to gold.
In this interview:
- Gold-linked Treasury Trust Bonds
- How the Gold Reserve Transparency Act could open Fort Knox for a public audit
- The logic behind re-pricing U.S. gold reserves to market value ($42 → $3,900+)
- How July 4, 2026 could mark a new monetary era of sound money and discipline
- What it means for the U.S. dollar, debt markets, and gold investors
