Peter Schiff: A Rate Hike Charade and Trump’s Phony Dividend
Interviews | SchiffGold | 15 Sep, 2026
In Saturday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter breaks down the latest inflation report and what it means for the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, arguing that a token rate hike would be more theater than substance. He then turns to President Trump’s proposal of a $5,000 “dividend” to Americans funded by tariff revenue, calling out the plan as both economically illiterate and dangerous for America’s already fragile credibility with its creditors.
