Gold, Crypto, the Debt Crisis, and How to Survive When the US Needs a Bailout (Tucker Carlson Video)

In this 26 December 2025 published video, host Tucker Carlson talks with Coleman Church.

The U.S. government is nearly $40 trillion in debt, a fact that pretty much guarantees exciting times ahead. How long can this go on? Where will it lead us as a nation? How can Americans survive when the U.S. needs a bailout?

Coleman Church has over 30 years of financial experience, making him uniquely qualified to answer these key questions and more. Church joined The Tucker Carlson Show to break down the ins and outs of America’s debt crisis, the Fed’s undermining of the free market, the safety of the stock market, and more.

A debt crisis occurs when individuals, businesses or governments can’t repay their debts, often signaled by high debt-to-income ratios, rising interest rates, and reduced confidence, leading to severe economic hardship, strained public services, and potential defaults, as seen historically in Latin America and currently with some low-income nations spending more on interest than health/education. Causes range from poor management, sudden income loss, high interest rates, to global economic shocks like pandemics, while solutions involve fiscal discipline, restructuring, and economic reforms.
