Trader, writer, and Spicy Italian Meatball (!!) Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to close the loop on our now three-year financial & geopolitical bromance which began with the help of the equally great, but not nearly as spicy Tom Bodroviks then of Palisades Gold Radio and now Competent Investor, when we first discussed the idea of Gold-backed US Treasury bonds, as promoted by Judy Shelton.

Vince and I cover the implications f...

Co-Host of the Future's Edge Podcast and prime example of Italian greatness Bob Iaccino joins the podcast for a round the horm discusstion of politics and markets in a world governed by Trump's mob-style politics.

The "Podfather" Adam Curry is in the house to have a chat about all the things, from online intentional communities to the synthetic nature of conversation, and how that is the key to immunizing us from the High Table's desire to set us apart, tear us down, and leave us without hope.

This week the podcast is invaded from the Great White North by Mr. Matt Ehret to assist Dexter and myself to understand the depth of the perfidy that is the place known as the country of Canadia.  Matt goes through a number of eras of Canadian politics to illluminate just how strongly the dead hand of the British Crown rules over the US's supposedly harmless neighbors above the 49th parallel.

Geopolitical analyst and commentator Xoaquin Flores comes back to the podcast to discuss a number of topics in the wake of the Trump/Putin Summit in Alaska on August 15th.  From Turkey's unfocused aggression to the repeated attempts to isolate Serbia, there are no shortage of responses from the "usual suspects" in City of London and Brussels.  Xoaquin breaks these things down in granular detail for us which, to me, is required list...

Martin Armstrong returns to the podcast with an wide-ranging interview discussing all the angles around Donald Trump's recent declarations and actions.  We try to cut through the noise to determine whether war is really coming or not.

Also for discussion is the possible reform of the Fed, how the Deep State really works, and how to actually get a decent night's sleep amidst all this change.

Dexter White returns to discuss why what you thought you hated inStar Wars: The Acolyte wasn't anything different than why you thought you hated Trump's Budget Reconciliation bill or any other "Outrage Du Jour."  We have a growing divide in political commentary that has trapped an entire locus of people on the left and the right to ensure there is no center.

Bitcoin advocate, entrepreneur, and Albertan patriot Dave Bradley joins me for a belated look at the G-7, Albertan independence and how the rush for pristine collateral is the race against time that Davos and City of London are working so hard to avoid going against their plans for a digitized neo-feudal world.

Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to follow up on Episode #213's discussion with Caitlin Long.  Vince lays out his argument for why the GENIUS Bill, stablecoins, and crypto will usher in a new era of financial terms enforced this time by the US vs. City of London.  

It's the flipside to the ideas floated by Ms. Long.   In short, dollar bulls and bears may in fact be right... but for reasons you haven't truly thought of yet.
