Fort Knox hasn't been audited in 50 years. Why. Jake Claver, recorded July 2026.
What this recording covers
Physical audits of national gold reserves remain an unresolved transparency question in federal monetary oversight, according to Claver. He discusses the prolonged absence of independent physical audits at the Fort Knox bullion depository, noting that comprehensive physical inspections have not occurred since the 1970s. Claver expresses skepticism regarding whether reported national bullion reserves remain fully intact and accounted for by federal authorities. He also references political statements calling for comprehensive audits of federal depository holdings, pointing out that past executive pledges to conduct independent physical verifications were not executed. Claver explains that verifying underlying physical reserves is critical for assessing national balance sheet integrity. He observes that ongoing questions surrounding official gold custody will persist until independent, comprehensive physical audits are conducted and publicly documented.
