In short: Protest parties polling "giant" ahead of general elections from next year (UK, France) will take power in coalitions and say "the problem with the euro is that we can't control it and we're going back to the franc." France's GDP is ~59% government, overspending by 5%. The expression is short euro / long gold, "a gigantic trade," with the US meanwhile "outrunning" Europe.
Taylor expects anti-establishment "protest" parties, now polling far ahead in countries like France and the UK, to win power in coalitions during general elections starting next year. France's economy is about 59% government spending and runs 5% overspending that EU rules can't stop. He thinks a populist government will blame the euro, since it can't print its own money, and push to bring back the franc.
His trade is to bet against the euro and own gold. He also argues this helps the US: like running from a bear, America only has to outrun the slowest, and if Europe blows up, US government debt looks safer by comparison.
32:56They're not supposed to, but Brussels really can't do otherwise. They're like, look, we either do this or M2 doesn't do that, it does that, and everything blows up. So, huh, take that. I believe that very, very quickly, as soon as they get into power, they're going to say the problem with the euro is that we can't control it and we're going back to the franc.
