Ep. 191 - The Truth About the Petrodollar
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
The petrodollar system is the monetary policy's version of 'Weekend at Bernie's' as it props up the Dollar as the global reserve currency.
This system is a mirage or (better put) it acts as a crutch for the U.S. Dollar. It creates artificial demand for the currency and U.S. assets while providing U.S. financial markets with an artificial source of liquidity and foreign capital inflows.
It is only a matter of time (likely months) before the rest of the world says "NO MORE!" and they leave the U.S. Dollar in the dustbin of history. And what makes it so infuriating is it is a completely avoidable, self-inflicted wound.
This country, founded by geniuses, has been run by fools and crooks for so long that they killed this once great country.

Ep. 175 - The Truth About Stagflation
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
Tuesday Nov 23, 2021
When Resident Biden came into office, the economy was set for a rebound as it came out of the Covid coma!
All the guy had to do was . . . NOTHING!!! Instead he (or whoever is really running the country) decided to only pursue policies that detrimentally impact the economy. This has resulted in something called "stagflation.”
In this episode we examine what that is, when we last experienced it and what can be done to rectify the situation.

Ep. 162 - The Truth About Nixon’s Closure of the Gold Window
Sunday Aug 22, 2021
Sunday Aug 22, 2021
Few obscure, unilateral presidential actions have had more wide-ranging impacts on the United States than Nixon's decision to terminate the Bretton Woods agreement.
In this episode, we walk through a brief history lesson on money, banking and currency in the United States and then examine the impact of Nixon’s fateful and negligent decision that has led the U.S. down a road toward national bankruptcy ever since.

Ep. 154 - The Truth About Modern Monetary Theory
Sunday Jun 20, 2021
Sunday Jun 20, 2021
You have probably heard the term Modern Monetary Theory or MMT thrown around recently. It is all the rage with our overlords in Washington, D.C. But what is it?
In this episode we examine the destructiveness of MMT and learn that there is nothing modern about debasing your currency by printing worthless pieces of paper backed by nothing. We also learn that MMT is not a theory but more political propaganda backed by nothing resembling real economics or public policy.
Politicians who endorse it or do not oppose it vigorously are willfully negligent!

Ep. 110 - The Truth About How to Save America from Itself
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Monday Aug 10, 2020
If you asked 100 people if they think America is healthy culturally, financially, spiritually, educationally, racially, or constitutionally, I am willing to bet a large majority would respond in the negative.
America is broken and the only thing that can save it (from itself) is state secession.
In this episode I build the case for secession:
The reasons it is necessary
Why secession is good
Refute most of the common objections to secession
Address how it could be accomplished in the 21st century
Please comment below and help build the secession movement.

Despite the fact that April 2020 was dominated by the Coronavirus - shelter-in-place orders, social distancing, mask-wearing, economy-killing, stimulus spending and daily news conferences with the White House Coronavirus task force, there were a number of other noteworthy news items.

Ep. 95 - The Truth About the Coronavirus Crisis: Lessons Learned - Part II
Saturday Apr 18, 2020
Saturday Apr 18, 2020
In the last episode, we covered some of the lighter side issues like the importance of slowing down, enjoying our families, nature and the simple things in life. We also discussed the impact the crisis will have on future attendance at traditional four-year colleges and the continued failings of socialized medical systems.
Today we are going to look at this topic more from a public policy and economics’ perspective. We examine why the United States' federal government and all centralized political bodies are too big to succeed. In the shadow of the Coronavirus crisis, we look at the dramatic need for deregulation at all levels of government.
We end the episode with an examination of the crisis from a constitutional and economic angle: fiat currency, the importance of savings, and the stock market bubble pricked by the Coronavirus.
