    Ep 190: The Coming Age of Permanent Inflation

    I’m joined by Larry Lepard, author of The Big Print, to talk about the coming age of Permanent Inflation. Driven by $40 trillion of debt now running over $2 trillion per year. We ask whether America has already crossed the point of no return. Why the 1970’s Volcker solution won’t work this time, and how ordinary Americans can protect themselves.

    Ep 189: Inflation, Soaring Debt, and the AI Shock

    This week I joined podcaster Stephan Livera to discuss inflation in an age of soaring national debt and job-replacing AI — and what both could mean for asset prices in the decades ahead. Especially for young people who can’t afford a house while Fed-enriched Boomers live like kings.

    Ep 188: Europe's Migrant Crisis with Economist Daniel Lacalle

    I joined economist Daniel Lacalle to discuss Europe's migrant crisis and its coming economic and political crisis. We dig into the migrant invasion of Ceuta, whether Europe can preserve open internal borders while losing control of its external ones, and the vicious cycle linking the welfare state, collapsing birth rates, mass immigration, and still more government. We also examine why Europe has fallen so far behind America in productivity, technology, and living standards; what to fix first if Brussels handed him Milei’s chainsaw; and whether Javier Milei’s dramatic turnaround in Argentina offers Europe a path back -- or a warning Europe will ignore until it goes over the cliff.
