Bob Kudla – Trump Is Reversing Socialism & Bringing Back Competition, Watch The Economy In 2026

Bob is the created and owner of Trade Genius Academy. Bob also does a podcast on YouTube which is called Trade Genius.   Bitcoin, after experiencing a recent dip below $90,000 amid a 30% correction from its highs and bearish indicators like a death cross, is poised for a rebound driven by stabilizing macroeconomic conditions and optimistic forecasts from analysts. Projections suggest an 18-22% increase, potentially pushing BTC to $112,000-$118,000 by the end of November 2025, with technical indicators pointing to a short-term rise to around $92,352 by November 21, fueled by renewed investor confidence and market recovery scenarios. Experts highlight top reasons for this upturn, including potential boosts from emerging Layer-2 solutions like Bitcoin Hyper, which could enhance scalability and drive broader adoption, countering current downward pressures and setting the stage for a bullish trajectory into 2026. President Trump is actively bringing back competition and removing elements of socialism through a series of executive actions aimed at dismantling regulatory barriers that stifle free enterprise. In April 2025, he signed an order directing federal agencies to identify and reduce anti-competitive regulations across the economy, fostering a more dynamic marketplace. This was followed in August by the revocation of Biden-era policies on non-competes and competition, effectively turning back the clock to an era of federal deregulation that prioritizes individual business freedom over government intervention. Additional measures, such as enabling competition in the commercial space industry, underscore his administration's push against socialist-style overreach, even as critics label some interventions as state capitalism, ultimately aiming to empower private enterprise and reduce bureaucratic socialism. The U.S. economy in 2026 is set to take off, with White House projections anticipating a return to robust growth of 3% to 4% by the first quarter, rebounding from any slowdowns caused by prior disruptions like the 43-day federal shutdown. Forecasts indicate an average expansion of 2.4%, heating up early in the year due to impacts from policies like the OBBBA, which could boost both growth and inflation before settling into sustained momentum. While some analyses predict a dip to 1.4% from 1.8% in 2025 amid uncertainties like tariffs, the overall trajectory points to a rebound above 2% by 2027, with unemployment edging only slightly upward and inflation remaining above target, signaling a vigorous economic liftoff driven by policy-driven stimuli and resilient fundamentals.

Hi, and welcome to the X22 Report Spotlight.
Today, we have a returning guest, Bob Kudla.
Bob is the creator and owner of TradeGeniusAcademy.com, and I am very happy to have Bob back on the X22 Report Spotlight.
Bob, welcome back to the spotlight.
Hey, Dave, thanks for having me.
Hey, thanks for being on here.
And it seems like we've been seeing a lot of major things going on with gold, with Bitcoin, with the stock market.
And of course, everyone is out there saying recession, depression, the market's going to zero.
I mean, I'm exaggerating right now, but Bitcoin's going to zero.
It's all done.
Hey, you know, that's it.
So, let's just start off with the stock market.
That came down quite a bit.
And of course, everyone's freaking out that the market's coming down.
What do you think is happening right now?
Yeah, two things.
And one is transitory, and the other one is a little bit more concerning.
Is that I'll talk to the transitory one.
You know, Jerome Powell, in his infinite desire to trip up Trump, has declared, well, we don't need to cut in December.
And so that caused all the algos out there to reassess and put a higher yield on the bond market, which then causes issues in the stock market.
A second part of that is that the AI boom has probably reached its first bubble peak and has pulled back 25, 30%.
Some of these guys have pulled back even more just because you can't maintain the growth level at the current stock price.
So that's a pullback too.
The more concerning thing is what's happening actually in Japan.
So Japan sells yen and they want a weaker currency and they use that money then to buy into higher yielding economies like the United States.
So every once in a while you get this pullback because the yields are rising in Japan.
Money comes home or money is forced to come home because people are borrowing yen to speculate.
And that causes grief in our markets too, because they're the last carry trade out there, other than Switzerland, but Switzerland's too small to really matter.
And so I think those are the things that are causing the grief right now in the stock market.
The thing about the recession is interesting to me.
I would say that half the country is doing well and half the country is in a recession.
And so we just have to see where that all lays out.
And we're transitioning next year.
I think economic activity is going to move in from the coasts into flyover country.
And so I think you'll see a balancing out there.
I don't think we'll necessarily be in a recession next year, but probably 27 and 28 could be pretty rocky.
Regarding the stock market, I want to just, because a lot of people now, a lot of things are floating around the interwebs here showing that we're on this path for 1929 to 1932 stock market collapse.
And people are very simplistic people, Dave, as you know.
And so they're assuming that we're going to get the exact same event.
What they fail to understand is that the United States in 1929 bears little resemblance to the United States of 2025.
And if you want a better analogy, you need to look at the United States in 2025 as Britain was in 1929.
And you look at China in 2025 as the United States in 1929.
And so what you have here is a situation where the United States and Great Britain then and United States now, we're drawing capital into the country.
Our trade deficits are falling.
Our relative fiscal balance, you know, in terms of vis-a-vis other countries is falling into our favor.
And countries like Japan, which I just mentioned, China, Germany, South Korea, countries that have been typically their export-oriented types of economies, they're the ones that are going to suffer greatly, especially countries that can't that have to import energy.
You know, Japan, Korea, China all have to import energy.
And so, and then China has, and those countries also have to import food.
Now, the good thing about Korea and Japan is they have a benefactor called the United States.
China and the United States are at odds.
And so if any country is going to collapse and stock market's going to collapse, it's going to be China.
The United States, if we follow the Great Britain route, you know, we'll have a run-of-the-mill 40% correction like we did in 2008, like we did in 2001, like we had in 73 and 74 in that timeframe.
I'm not saying that's not painful, but it's hardly, it's hardly a market crash of the type that will drastically change the economy of the United States.
So that's my view on it.
And I'm calling for at some point here, you know, peak the trough 40% down.
Some stocks have already done that, Dave.
So, you know, look at Palantir and NVIDIA are all down greater than 20% from their peaks.
So, you know, a 20% fall from there might be painful, but, you know, that still puts it above where they started the year.
So, you know, it's all a matter of perspective.
And really, if you look at Trump, Trump's a populist.
So at some point, he's going to abandon the stock market, Wall Street, for Main Street.
And you saw the pivot after those elections that we just had, where he said money to the people, not to the insurance companies, dropping tariffs on food, et cetera, et cetera.
So I see the stock market could have pressure in order for him to support the Main Street.
Yeah, I'm looking at this as when Biden was in office and we saw this incredible amount of inflation, fuel prices going up.
The job numbers were fake.
See, I'm going back to that period of time when he handed off the economy to Trump.
I'm saying that we were in a recession there.
Without the tariff system, without the investments, without the money pouring into this country, if we just wiped that out and said, okay, Trump was just going to do things as what Biden was doing, I think the country was already in a recession.
I think the tariff system and what he's doing right now has prevented us from going into like a deep depression.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
For the reasons I just discussed.
He's drawing money and capital into the country.
Things start getting really bad there, Dave.
Money's going to come pouring into the United States at unprecedented levels.
Trump is prone to being generous with his claims.
I don't think he can overestimate the money that's going to pour into this country.
You know, it's leaking out of China now.
Wait till it becomes a torrent.
Okay.
And I think you're right.
We'll see trillion dollars there on tariffs.
And I think what he's doing, what's more important than the tariffs is really the investments that are coming in.
Challenger Gray is already showing the hiring.
We're starting to see hiring instead of layoffs.
We're seeing net hiring from Challenger Gray.
I think ADP is also showing.
I got two golden retrievers that are wondering why I'm not looking at them.
You hear the heavy breathing.
I hear the breathing, yes.
I think ADP also reaches.
I guarantee it's not my wife.
I think ADP also said the same thing as Challenger Gray and Christmas.
They are also seeing jobs starting to come back to the U.S.
And we're seeing a lot more jobs being added than actual layoffs.
And I think with the job numbers and everything from Biden, I think we had to start from a different point because you have to remember, a lot of those job numbers were fake.
So you got to wipe all those out.
And okay, you can't pretend that, okay, we're starting from the fake numbers and moving up.
If you remove all those job numbers, yes, it's going to look like there has been no jobs that have been created because pretty much what happened.
So I think we're starting at a very good point right now.
And I think things are just going to get better as time goes on.
And remember, Trump's a builder.
He planned it out, just like if you're building a building, he built the foundation, putting everything in place.
And I think 2026 is going to look very, very different as we move into 2027.
I totally agree with you.
And I think he now stepped it into high gear now because he knows that he has to have things locked and cocked by the end of summer.
Look, Arizona is going to be a different, a different state in the next six to nine months with hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs coming in from the tech sector.
And then you look at pharmaceuticals coming in now.
And you have the biotech coming back, and you have basically metals mining.
And we had record oil production too this year.
So, like I said, there's a transition.
The people that are used to working at Starbucks better get used to getting their hands dirty instead of having a white cloth to wipe up spilled coffee.
They're going to have to actually get out there and do more physical labor.
And that's a problem because people aren't used to it.
And the other problem is people aren't used to having making sure they have STEM degrees.
So those are the two Achille heels that we have.
But the jobs are there.
You know, my daughter's friend works for a company fixing robots on an automation of distribution center.
Wow.
They can't find enough workers.
Can't find enough workers.
Well, I don't think you know what it is.
I don't think people have the skills.
Right.
What a desire.
They'll teach you.
They literally will teach people how to do it.
It's not that, I want to say it's not that hard.
It's just once you know it, you know, fixing it doesn't change.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
It's just that people just don't want to do that kind of work.
But I mean, this person is 25 years old and makes over $100,000 a year with overtime.
So, wow.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
So when you look, we just discussed the stock market.
When you look at Bitcoin, we're starting to see Bitcoin start to drop.
And it came down to the 90s around that.
It fluctuates 92, 93.
But we could see it's dropping people, of course, of panicking that, you know, there goes Bitcoin.
It's done for.
But I see a lot of outflows of ETFs.
I see a lot of people dumping a lot of their ETFs and dropping.
What do you make of this?
You know, two weeks ago, they said gold was dead too.
Yeah.
Today gold's up $50.
You know what it is?
They built a derivative system around Bitcoin.
So now they can push and pull a little bit.
And people that are trading in derivatives, they cause these outside moves.
Our measured move for Bitcoin is down to 84K.
May get there, may not.
It broke 90K, actually, I think, earlier this week.
Yes.
But that's our view.
Look, Bitcoin is tied to the global liquidity, money supply, and it's tied to tech.
If we get a tech bounce here going into the end of the year, you'll see Bitcoin push up higher.
And then right now, the correlation is 70% to tech.
So we'll see if it separates from tech and runs with money supply next year.
Because, you know, all the governments around the world are pumping money supply like it's going out of style.
You know, China and Japan are trying to, they're basically running up a down escalator right now, Dave.
You know, and they're trying to, they're trying to win through pumping liquidity into their into their economies.
And then I think once PAL's out of the way, you know, starting in March, you know, the Trump liquidity machine is going to go into high gear.
So I think what's happening at Bitcoin is transitory.
And then I think it's going to rocket when all this money can't find a home in the real economy.
I agree.
And pretty much, you just mentioned gold also.
We saw gold that dropped below 4,000 for a little bit and then it went back up.
And I do believe it's approaching 4,100 right now.
So, I mean, we're seeing the same fluctuation.
Yeah, it seems like there's a fight between gold and Bitcoin.
I don't know if the boomers and Gen Z are like having a cage match right now.
So we're seeing it go back and forth between gold and Bitcoin.
So that'd be an interesting thing to watch.
And don't sleep on oil.
You know, I think one of the questions that you wanted to ask is where oil is going to go.
Oil can't get down below $55 a barrel.
It shuts off all production here.
So that's probably a good floor.
But there's enough oil production capacity out there that if it got to 70 or 75, it'll get knocked back down.
So I think gold's in a range.
But these next three months are actually positive for oil because this is when they start drawing out of storage to move into the refineries to get it ready for the spring driving season.
So December, January, February, we should see oil having strength.
All that is a caveat.
If something happens in the world, right?
Oil can go much higher on a short-term basis.
But, you know, you have Saudis and you have the United States pumping at full tilt.
And I think probably Canada too.
So I think you're going to see oil go up a little bit, but it's not going to break out unless there's some sort of war that affects United States production.
Well, also with all the leases that have been issued, those are going to come into effect in 2026 also.
So you're going to see a lot of oil companies.
They're going to start to drill.
So that's going to be a lot.
Yeah.
And also you have big oil fields in Guyana too.
ExxonMobil has that one.
I own ExxonMobil.
It's my number one position for decades.
And so there, and if we come to some sort of resolution with Russia, Russia will invite ExxonMobil back into Russia too.
So it's a good company to own long term.
And then you have, like you said, the leases.
And then Trump doing a little bit of trolling on news.
Somebody said he's going to offer some leases in California too.
Right.
So, I mean, you sent me a chart.
It'll never happen, but he's having, he'll make, he'll make that guy spin again.
Yes.

You sent me a chart today and it showed how well your algorithm is doing compared to the market, your picks, and everything like that.
And actually, you're way above.
It's absolutely incredible.
So, I'm assuming that you'll continue this trend and it'll get better and better as time goes on.
Yeah, I mean, that was a bit of a surprise.
One of my customers actually sent it to me.
So, I didn't think I wanted to pat my own back and send it over to you, Dave.
But, but yeah, this customer had been with me for two years, and he said, He goes, I thought you'd like to know, you know, how your picks have performed against the small caps, the NASDAQ, and the SP 500.
And we handily beat all of those in 24 and 25, which have been stellar years for the stock market.
And so, we always knew that our system was pretty good.
It was just gratifying to see somebody else taking all the trades and reaping those benefits from our alerts that we put out there.
And just so people know, I put alert out, one or two alerts out every day, just for this reason to prove that the system works.
But we give people access to the algorithm, Dave.
So, people could trade whatever the heck they want.
And so, and then we have chat rooms like you and I are talking, and or people could type in their questions.
So, it's a good system.
You know, I think we really see it shine is if we do get some significant stock market corrections here over the next 12 to 24 months, you'll see our performance against those markets will even increase because we have the ability to chase ETFs and stocks that work well in a down market.
So, I always tell people when things are fat and easy, people don't think they need a service like ours.
But when things get wonky, we tend to get a lot of customers.
And the last two months, we got a lot of customers because, you know, things weren't as easy as people thought, you know.
And so, we're really here to help people.
And, and, you know, Dave, you know, we have great specials for people going into the end of the year.
So, just come to our site, tradelikegenius.com, take advantage of it.
We pushed all our pricing to quarterly so the cash flow is easier for people.
And, and for also people that aren't sure they like a service like this, you know, hey, you're only committed for 90 days instead of poning up for a whole year.
But we're talking $149 to $249 a quarter.
So, you know, we're not talking about anything that would break the bank if you want to take a shot with us.
Most people that come stay.
So I think you'll like it.
And we're like-minded people too, Dave.
So, you know, it's a pleasant environment to be in there.
You're not fighting with your fellow traders over politics.
Everybody seems to be nodding in the same direction as we all love our country.
Yeah.
It's also good for those people that, you know, want to get into trading, but they just don't know how.
And it's good because it's always nice to have like a coach to help them out in all of this.
Yeah.
And oh, sorry, I cut you off, but you know, we can also, if you ever wanted to, Dave, maybe after next month, so I can always do an orientation training for anybody that signs up, you know, next month too, you know, to show people how it works.
Yeah, actually, that'd be good.
I mean, I'll put all the links at the bottom of the video for those people that want to go over and join up to the trading system, learn how to trade.
And if you're an experienced trader, just go right over.
It's a great group of people and Bob will really help you out there.
I just want to talk about the tariffs for a sec because it seems that Trump is bringing in billions and billions of dollars.
And now he's saying that he's going to give people $2,000 a dividend.
So now, this is very, very different than stimulus because stimulus is when you borrow from the central bank and you say, okay, now I'm going to stimulate the economy with the borrowed money.
This is already existing currency that's already out there.
We're just bringing it into the country and he's going to give, he's saying he's going to give people a dividend.
Why do you think he's doing this?
Will this help the economy?
Yeah, I think, you know, with Trump, it's starting to be an emerging pattern, I think, going into the midterms.
It's, you know, I'm going to give you your money back to you from these evil importers, right?
And, you know, if you're making, you know, $100,000 a year as two people, that's a 4% pay raise, right?
And then also with the insurance company money, the subsidies is going to be directed back to the people instead of the insurance company.
So what he's really trying to do, he's trying to reorient people's understanding on how they interact with the government.
Instead of the government taking their money and directing it on their behalf with a lot of the hands out there, the parasites taking their cut, he's pushing the money directly into the people and letting them decide how they want to spend it.
So I think in that sense, it's a mind shift to get people away from dependency.
And hey, if you know, if you're making a 4% to 5% dividend, you know, on behalf of the country, you're beating inflation that just something make you feel good.
The other thing, too, it's great politics.
He's not giving the Democrats an inch to get in between him and the people.
So I think it's really, really good.
And it looks like he's going to drop it like June or July next year, just so people have it nice in their memory.
Yes.
When they start thinking about who they want to vote for.
And also what he's doing too, he's also speaking to the Supreme Court.
Yes.
He's basically saying, just like they did the Supreme Court with the abortion thing back in the 70s.
Hey, this thing's already a fait to compli.
You're going to take money out of people's pockets.
You know what I mean?
And so I think he's doing some of that too.
Oh, you want to bankrupt the United States?
Go ahead and cut me back on those tariffs.
So I think he's trying to give the Supreme Court cover to basically saying, hey, the horse is out of the barn.
We'll see how that plays.
I mean, I think he has all the leverage in this.
I mean, because, again, there's a lot of laws on the books right now and Congress kind of gave up their control over the tariffs.
And also there's the national security issue, which he can play that card.
So I think this is going to be very tough for the Supreme Court.
Hey, look, Chief Justice Robert, he did the origami move to approve Obamacare.
Just tell him to get his origami book out and make it happen on the tariffs.
I mean, I mean, when you said, you know, Trump is going to give the money back to the people for health insurance, I mean, really think about Obamacare.
The money, the subsidies, that went directly to the insurance company.
So, of course, we know the insurance companies wrote the bills, but that doesn't create competition.
It doesn't do anything.
Basically, they already know they're getting the money.
If the money goes to the people, the people say, you know what?
This is the better insurance.
And then the other company has to say, wait a minute, why are you going over there?
Oh, we can do a little bit better.
It creates competition.
You get better coverage, lower premiums.
I mean, everything starts to be better.
I mean, this is, if you go back to our founding fathers, this is what they wanted.
They wanted the people to make the decision.
They didn't want the government to make the decision for them.
Absolutely.
It was a disaster.
I mean, how they did this and made all this billions of dollars they kept and our premiums went up and they got richer.
So, I mean, it doesn't take a mathematician to figure out we've been screwed.
And so, yeah, I look, I like all this stuff.
I, you know, I mean, if I had my brothers, you know, the Trump could move every agency back to the states.
You know, if he has to drop a few bones back to the states to help that transition, you know, we don't need a national EPA.
We don't need a national education.
We don't need, you know, we just, we don't need, you know, any of that stuff other than safety for the people, you know, border patrol and national defense and everything else can go back to the states.
And I think that's that's his ilk.
I think that's what he's driving towards.
And if he can maintain power and it can pass on to JD and or Rubio in the future, then I think we can remake this country.
And so, really, you know, I'm kind of excited.
I just want to make sure that, you know, the European monarchy doesn't try to screw us or the Chinese communist propaganda tries to derail us.
I mean, we're getting hit on both sides here.
You know, we took away Europe, we took away Europe's easy money train with subsidizing their defense and subsidizing their farm, their health care.
So they're pissed.
They want that back.
And then China is losing a market, and they want that back.
And so, you know, he's fighting on both fronts.
And so far, so good.
You know, we just have to pray for him and make sure he doesn't make any unforced errors and keep showing the people why what he's doing is beneficial for them directly.
And he needs to really start speaking to the inner city people and just keep reminding them that every illegal I take out of your city means your rent's going down, your crime's going down, your job opportunities are going up, your pay is going to go up.
That mantra needs to be non-stop.
And it feels like with like Europe, we were paying for their socialist system and the money.
They're like, isn't this great?
Look, free health care.
But yeah, but we were paying for that.
We were.
And they mocked us.
They mocked us.
Our system's better.
Yeah.
Your system's better.
We paid for it.
Right.
Exactly.
And it looks like the Fed was completely wrong about tariffs with inflation because they were expecting inflation to go, what, to eight, seven, nine, whatever it was, percentage.
And it actually, I think there was 150-year study from all the data came out and said, yeah, you know what happens?
The opposite happens.
Tariffs actually reduce inflation.
So they were completely wrong on that.
You know, I don't think they were wrong.
They deliberately misrepresented data because they didn't want it.
They look, they have 2,200 PhDs.
You can't tell me they didn't have studies there showing them this stuff.
You know, they knew they just don't like it because their overlords are telling them not to have tariffs, you know.
And, but I knew that.
Told people that right in the beginning, I said, tariffs are deflationary.
If you think about it, you try to pass on that price increase to a customer.
Somebody else may not.
You know what I mean?
And your sales get crushed.
It's really, people don't understand supply and demand sensitivities to price.
At some point, I don't care how much you raise the price of beef.
If I can't afford it, I ain't buying it.
And it goes for everything else.
You just don't buy it.
You substitute out.
And on the books, the headline could say inflation's up 10%.
But if nobody's buying your stuff, you collapse.
And that's what those guys found out right away.
You started seeing sales everywhere.
I don't know if you've been to the grocery store lately.
I shop for us.
I'm seeing prices back to where we are in 2020 in every area except for beef and probably fish too.
But, you know, you look at pork, you look at chicken, you look at eggs, you look at pasta.
All those prices are down back into the early 20s again.
So and now he's going to try to drive the beef cartel out of business.
Yeah, I think that's the monopoly on that.
Yeah, I think the beef is the packing monopoly that they have.
That is a major, major problem.
Yeah, now that we'll just import the slaughtered beef directly into the, you know, package right into the country.
You know, we do it a little bit with Australia and New Zealand now.
Now it could come in, you know, they'll butcher it there.
They'll package it there and they'll freeze it and ship it here already ready to go to the grocery store.
You know, Walmart's probably all over this right now.
You know, they're probably in Argentina, Brazil, and Australia saying, I want this stuff pre-cut.
You know what I mean?
Freeze it, bring it in.
I'll put it right on the shelf.
And I think that'll break up the cartel.
Yeah, that's what it's going to do.
It's going to create competition.
And everyone's going to go, well, I'm going to get this cheaper beef over here.
And the cartel is going to say, oh, crap.
Okay, we're going to have to do something a little bit different because we're losing sales.
No one's buying from us again anymore.
Yeah, it's a shame.
We knew this for a long time.
The farmer's always constantly getting screwed.
And, you know, it's across the board.
You know, it's the same with grains, you know, and oilseeds and meat.
You know, the packers control the price.
You know, they get forced, they get forced the farmers to accept less, and then they create an artificial supply shock, and then they drive prices up.
You know, we need to, no entity should have more than 10% control over an environment.
And these four own 100% of the market, 90%, I think, what I was told.
Crazy.
What I think we're learning now is what competition is, because I think for a very long time, especially like the health insurance and everything else, it seems like they try to force us away from competition.
So I think people forgot what competition is and what competition does for the economy and for your products and the prices and everything like that.
And I think we're, I think Trump is reintroducing it.
And I think the people now are learning.
Yeah.
And, you know, maybe we could talk in the future.
I think the whole higher education establishment is in for a world of hurt primarily through demographics.
So, and plus people aren't going to, you know, with the AI revolution, you better have a job that means something.
I mean, a degree that means something, or you're going to be pretty dead ass broke.
And the government, the government jobs aren't going to be there for you to soak up the poli-sci people.
You know, you better, you better do something that's going to be meaningful for the economy.
I think my prediction is in the next 10 years, 30 or 40% of all universities will be gone in the United States.
Most likely, yes.
