Renowned forecaster Martin Armstrong joins Dennis Tubbergen to discuss his groundbreaking computer model that tracks global capital flows and has accurately predicted major economic events for decades.

Economic analyst Karl Denninger joins RLA Radio to discuss troubling indicators beneath the surface of apparent economic strength, revealing that job growth has been negative for eight months—a pattern that has historically preceded major economic dislocations like 2000 and 2008. Despite stock markets hitting all-time highs, Denninger warns of unprecedented leverage and valuation levels without corresponding labor market expansion, suggesting we're in a dangerous bubble. The conversation also covers the housing market downturn, Federal Reserve policy constraints, and explosive revelations from RFK Jr.'s congressional hearing about CDC corruption, including allegations that the agency destroyed data showing cognitive damage risks from vaccine timing in children twenty years ago, raising serious questions about institutional trustworthiness in public health policy.

In this week’s interview on RLA Radio, economist Peter Schiff delivers a stark warning about America's economic future, predicting both currency and debt crises driven by unsustainable fiscal policies. Schiff argues that President Trump's interventionist economic approach—including government equity stakes in private companies and massive deficit spending—represents a dangerous form of fascist economic policy that will accelerate dollar weakness and inflation. He highlights how international investments, particularly gold stocks (up 80% in 2025) and his global dividend strategy (up nearly 40%), are dramatically outperforming U.S. markets as foreign central banks abandon dollar reserves in favor of gold. With the national debt exceeding $37 trillion and unfunded liabilities far greater, Schiff contends that the government's only options are debt default or currency debasement through inflation, both of which spell disaster for American investors. He strongly advocates for diversifying into international assets and precious metals while dismissing Bitcoin as a speculative bubble lacking intrinsic value, urging listeners to prepare for an unprecedented financial upheaval that will dwarf the 2008 crisis.

Peter Schiff is an internationally recognized economist specializing in foreign equity, currency, and gold markets. Mr. Schiff made his name as President and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital.

The $67 Trillion Debt Bomb: Why America's Three Massive Bubbles Are About to Burst

In this eye-opening interview, portfolio manager Michael Pento delivers a stark warning about the unprecedented financial crisis brewing in America. With the CAPE ratio at nearly 38, the Buffett indicator at an all-time high of 210% of GDP, and total U.S. debt projected to explode from $37 trillion to $67 trillion by 2035, Pento argues we're facing three simultaneous bubbles in credit, real estate, and stocks that dwarf even the 2008 financial crisis. He reveals how 60% of Americans now have less than $1,000 in net worth, real estate listings with price cuts are at decade highs, and the Federal Reserve's only playbook—printing trillions and slashing rates to zero—may actually trigger the very inflation spiral that destroys the economy they're trying to save. As home prices remain more unaffordable than during the 2008 peak and credit defaults surge across all sectors, Pento explains why the traditional 60/40 investment portfolio could "delay your retirement by decades" and shares his contrarian strategy of positioning in precious metals, aerospace, and inflation hedges while warning that annual deficits could balloon to $6 trillion during the next inevitable recession.

Michael Pento is the President and Founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies, with more than 27 years of investment experience. He was the portfolio creator and consultant to Delta/Claymore's commodity portfolios that raised more than $3 billion, distributed through Claymore/Guggenheim's sales network.

The Gold Standard: Why Every Fiat Currency in History Has Failed and What It Means for Your Wealth

In this week’s RLA interview, Brien Lundin, publisher of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, draws striking parallels between the decline of the Roman Empire's currency and today's U.S. dollar, explaining why gold has risen from $35 to over $3,000 per ounce since Nixon severed the dollar's link to gold in 1971. Lundin argues that with U.S. federal debt reaching unsustainable levels and $2 trillion annual deficits showing no signs of slowing, currency debasement is inevitable—just as it has been throughout human history with every fiat currency ever created. He discusses why gold and silver serve as essential wealth insurance rather than mere investments, predicts silver will outperform gold as it heads toward $50 per ounce, and explains how new stablecoin regulations may paradoxically create the government tracking system that cryptocurrency originally sought to avoid. For investors seeking to preserve purchasing power in an era of unprecedented monetary expansion, Lundin offers practical guidance on physical metals ownership and mining stock strategies.

Brien Lundin is the President and CEO of Jefferson Financial, editor and publisher of Gold Newsletter, a publication that has ranked among the world’s leading precious metals and resource stock advisories since 1971, and is also the host of the famed New Orleans Investment Conference, the world’s oldest and most respected gold investment event.

In this eye-opening interview, portfolio manager Michael Pento delivers a stark warning about the unprecedented financial crisis brewing in America. With the CAPE ratio at nearly 38, the Buffett indicator at an all-time high of 210% of GDP, and total U.S. debt projected to explode from $37 trillion to $67 trillion by 2035, Pento argues we're facing three simultaneous bubbles in credit, real estate, and stocks that dwarf even the 2008 financial crisis. He reveals how 60% of Americans now have less than $1,000 in net worth, real estate listings with price cuts are at decade highs, and the Federal Reserve's only playbook—printing trillions and slashing rates to zero—may actually trigger the very inflation spiral that destroys the economy they're trying to save. As home prices remain more unaffordable than during the 2008 peak and credit defaults surge across all sectors, Pento explains why the traditional 60/40 investment portfolio could "delay your retirement by decades" and shares his contrarian strategy of positioning in precious metals, aerospace, and inflation hedges while warning that annual deficits could balloon to $6 trillion during the next inevitable recession.

Michael Pento is the President and Founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies, with more than 27 years of investment experience. He was the portfolio creator and consultant to Delta/Claymore's commodity portfolios that raised more than $3 billion, distributed through Claymore/Guggenheim's sales network. He produces the weekly podcast “The Mid-Week Reality Check” and is the author of the book “The Coming Bond Market Collapse.”

In this eye-opening interview, renowned technical analyst Dr. Robert McHugh shares his bold predictions for the precious metals market, forecasting gold to reach $4,000 and silver to potentially triple to $90 in the coming years, driven by massive AI infrastructure demands and continued monetary expansion. McHugh, who uses century-old chart pattern analysis to forecast market movements, discusses why he sees stocks rising 5-10% near-term before completing a long-term bearish pattern that's been forming since the 1980s. The conversation covers the impact of the recent "One Big Beautiful Bill" legislation, the Fed's money printing policies that have doubled the cost of living, the dollar's worst performance since 1971, and why U.S. Treasuries may surprisingly rise despite fiscal concerns. McHugh explains how the AI revolution's unprecedented demand for minerals like gold, silver, copper, and uranium could fuel the next commodity supercycle, making this a must-listen episode for investors navigating today's complex markets.

Robert McHugh, Ph.D. is President and Chief Executive Officer of Main Line Investors, Inc., and the proprietor of the Technical Indicator Index.

The Final 1%: Why Every Currency in History Has Failed and Gold's Inevitable Rise

In this week’s interview, monetary expert Egon von Greyerz reveals a startling historical truth: every single currency and monetary system in history has collapsed without exception, with most modern currencies already down 99% against gold since 1971. Von Greyerz argues we're now witnessing the final 1% decline, which represents a 100% loss from current levels, as unsustainable global debt approaching $2 quadrillion in derivatives alone makes systemic collapse inevitable. He explains why Eastern and BRICS central banks are aggressively accumulating gold while Western banks ignore it, viewing this as the beginning of a permanent gold revaluation phase rather than a typical investment cycle. With governments unable to cut spending without political suicide and interest rates trending higher long-term (not lower as many expect), von Greyerz advocates holding 100% of liquid assets in physical gold and silver stored outside the banking system as the only reliable wealth preservation strategy. He dismisses concerns about government gold confiscation, noting that with only 0.5% of global financial assets in gold, authorities would likely target more substantial assets first, making jurisdictional diversification to places like Switzerland a prudent additional safeguard.

Egon von Greyerz is the founder and managing partner of Matterhorn Asset Management. He began his professional life in Geneva, Switzerland, as a banker and thereafter spent 17 years as the Finance Director and Executive Vice-Chairman of Dixons Group Plc. During the 1990s, Egon von Greyerz became actively involved with financial investment activities, including mergers and acquisitions and asset allocation consultancy for private family funds. This led to the creation of MAM as an asset management company based on wealth preservation principles.

The End of Fiat Money? Why Bitcoin and Stablecoins Are Reshaping Global Finance

In this eye-opening episode of RLA Radio, host Dennis Tubbergen interviews Mark Jeftovic, publisher of The Bitcoin Capitalist, about the crumbling global financial system and emerging monetary alternatives. Jeftovic explains how the Federal Reserve is trapped between unsustainable debt levels and inflation, with the dollar index down 10% year-to-date as countries accelerate de-dollarization efforts. The discussion covers the rise of stablecoins as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto (with major legislation like The GENIUS Act gaining traction), the corporate Bitcoin treasury revolution led by companies like MicroStrategy, and why Bitcoin's 25-28% minimum four-year returns are becoming the new benchmark for capital allocation. For retirement investors, Jeftovic recommends getting "off zero" with modest Bitcoin exposure while reducing bond holdings he calls "dead money walking." This episode captures a pivotal moment in financial history as traditional monetary systems strain and alternative stores of value gain institutional acceptance. Essential listening for anyone seeking to preserve wealth amid monetary uncertainty. Visit thebitcoincapitalist.com/tubbergen for special resources.

In this week’s interview with Dennis Tubbergen on RLA radio, veteran market analyst Michael Oliver warns of major market disruptions brewing across multiple asset classes. Oliver explains how his unique Momentum Structural Analysis technique has identified critical breakdown patterns in the U.S. dollar index, which he believes will drop another 20 points and create significant volatility across global markets. He argues that U.S. stocks are forming a "laborious top" similar to 2000 and 2007, with internal weakness masked by narrow market leadership, while the traditional safe haven of Treasury bonds is failing to provide refuge due to mounting debt concerns. Oliver sees this convergence of factors as highly bullish for precious metals, predicting silver could surge to $60-70 by year-end and potentially outperform gold, while commodity-related stocks and energy sectors may offer the best opportunities as traditional markets face a reckoning that could unfold dramatically over the next three to five months.

Michael Oliver has been studying markets for over four decades, but it was the 1987 stock market crash that became his “aha!” moment and converted him to what he calls “momentum structural analysis.” Mr. Oliver is the CEO of Momentum Structural Analysis LLC based in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism. Since 1992 Momentum Structural Analysis has provided unique technical research to the financial industry - banks, RIAs, hedge funds, and mutual funds - as well as to individual investors.

Karl Denninger joins Dennis Tubbergen to deliver a sobering analysis of America's economic reality, revealing how negative GDP growth, soaring inflation at nearly doubles the Fed's target, and a locked-up real estate market signal an impending recession. Denninger exposes the truth behind tariff fearmongering and explains why Fed rate cuts are impossible with money supply growth running at triple the inflation target. But the real bombshell comes when he breaks down America's healthcare crisis using a brilliant analogy about "bar insurance," showing how forcing everyone to pay for others' medical bills has inflated prescription drug costs by 10,000% compared to other countries. From a drug costing $60 in India versus $7,000 in America, to why hospital bills are astronomical, Denninger reveals the hidden mechanisms destroying American healthcare and explains why politicians refuse to fix a system that enriches pharmaceutical companies while bankrupting families. This is essential listening for anyone wanting to understand the economic and healthcare crises heading our way.

Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, author, and political activist, sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement.  Mr. Denninger is the author of the book Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World. In the book, Denninger presents an inside look at how moneyed and powerful interests debase the dollar through the willful and intentional failure to honestly represent short and long-term mathematical truths that underlie all economic systems.

The Man Who Predicted Dow 45,000 When It Was 12,000 - Now Says It's Going to 62,000

Today's RLA Radio show features a captivating interview with guest Kerry Lutz's which reveals how his 14-year journey following controversial financial forecaster Martin Armstrong led to his Amazon bestseller "The World According to Martin Armstrong." Armstrong's jaw-dropping track record includes predicting the 1987 crash, the Soviet Union's fall, and calling Dow 32,000 when it was only 12,000—plus his recent Dow 45,000 prediction that hit exactly on December 14th, 2024. Now he's forecasting Dow 62,000 by 2032, a 2026 recession, and even more startling geopolitical predictions. Using his mysterious Economic Confidence Model that tracks cycles of confidence and money flows, these forecasts come from a man once imprisoned as a "political prisoner" who continued producing remarkably accurate predictions from his cell using only an IBM typewriter. Combined with discussions about AI as the "great equalizer," Japan's bond market implosion, and America's potential use of Bitcoin and gold to address national debt, this interview is essential listening for navigating today's unpredictable financial landscape.

Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school’s library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and lifelong serial entrepreneur. In 2010, Kerry gave up most of his other interests to pursue his desire of becoming a radio show host and founded the Financial Survival Network, whose mission is to help you prosper and thrive in the New Economy.

On RLA radio this week, host Dennis Tubbergen visits with gold expert Simon Popple, founder of Gold Program, reveals why gold has delivered 10.1% annual returns since 2000 and explains his "MIDI" framework—Market uncertainty, Inflation, Debt, and Interest rates—driving gold prices higher. In this eye-opening interview, Popple discusses how massive quantitative easing programs are creating unsustainable debt burdens, why central banks worldwide are accumulating gold at unprecedented rates, and how currency devaluation may be the only way out of the current fiscal crisis. He also shares practical advice on physical gold ownership, compares gold versus silver opportunities, and warns why the recent Japanese bond market collapse could be a preview of what's coming for other major economies. Whether you're new to precious metals or a seasoned investor, this conversation provides essential insights into protecting wealth during these uncertain times.

This week on RLA Radio, your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, who reveals how President Nixon's 1971 decision to close the gold window fundamentally disrupted global trade and put America at a permanent disadvantage against countries like China. In this eye-opening discussion, Tucker explains how the shift to fiat currency created "unfair competition" that has gutted American manufacturing for over 50 years, leading to our worst-ever trade deficits. He also dives into Trump's controversial tariff strategy, the pharmaceutical industry's price-gouging of American consumers (paying 5-10x more than other countries for the same drugs), and the revolutionary changes happening in public health under the MAHA movement. From removing COVID shots from childhood vaccine schedules to eliminating chemical dyes from food, Tucker argues we're witnessing the first real government progress he's seen in his entire adult career.

Jeffrey A. Tucker is the Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute and the author of numerous articles in scholarly and popular press, as well as ten books in five languages, most recently the publisher of Blindsight in 2020. He is also the editor of The Best of Mises. He speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture.

This week on RLA radio your host Dennis Tubbergen talks with Gerald Celente, the veteran trends forecaster and publisher of Trends Journal, warns of an impending "dot-com bust" driven by overinvestment in AI companies, particularly as China's Deepseek has demonstrated superior AI capabilities at a fraction of the cost, potentially wiping out billions in overvalued tech investments. He predicts President Trump will manipulate interest rates to prop up the economy short-term, but sees inevitable market crashes ahead, recommending gold and Bitcoin as safe havens while warning that mounting U.S. debt (which he claims is actually $220 trillion, not $37 trillion) may force a gold revaluation similar to FDR's 1933 action. Celente also forecasts an office building bust due to persistent work-from-home trends and warns that escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly potential conflict with Iran, could double oil prices and crash equity markets, embodying his famous maxim: "When all else fails, they take you to war."

Gerald Celente is the Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute and Publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine. He is the author of the highly acclaimed and best-selling books “Trend Tracking” and “Trends 2000”. With a 40-year track record of identifying, tracking, and forecasting trends, Celente is world-renowned as today’s #1 Trend Forecaster. Celente, developed the Globalnomic methodology to identify, track, forecast, and manage trends, is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology, or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is “Think for Yourself,” observes and analyzes current events forming future trends for what they are – not for how he wants them to be.

In a gripping conversation with host Dennis Tubbergen, investment maverick Doug Casey delivers a stark warning from Buenos Aires: America stands on the precipice of what he calls "the greater depression" - potentially more devastating than the crash of 1929. Speaking from Argentina, Casey doesn't mince words about our economic bifurcation, where the wealthy accumulate unprecedented wealth while average citizens struggle under the twin forces of currency inflation and regulatory strangulation. "We're on the razor's edge," Casey cautions, predicting interest rates could skyrocket back to 1980s levels (near 20%), devastating bubble-inflated stocks, bonds, and real estate markets while potentially collapsing a banking system built on these shaky foundations. Despite initial optimism about Trump's victory and promises of tax cuts and deregulation, Casey believes we're "approaching noon" rather than experiencing "morning in America," with time running out for meaningful reform of a government that has "grown like a cancer." For protection, he advocates physical gold ("the only financial asset that's not simultaneously somebody else's liability"), silver, and surprisingly, Bitcoin, while warning listeners not to trust FDIC insurance - "just a sticker principle" with insufficient reserves to handle a systemic crisis in what he describes as an economy floating on "a sea of debt" and a dollar that is merely “the IOU of a bankrupt government.”

Best-selling author, world-renowned speculator, and libertarian philosopher Doug Casey has garnered a well-earned reputation for his erudite (and often controversial) insights into politics, economics, and investment markets. Doug wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil; his book “Crisis Investing” spent weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and TV shows, including David Letterman, Merv Griffin, Charlie Rose, Phil Donahue, Regis Philbin, Maury Povich, NBC News, and CNN; has been the topic of numerous features in periodicals such as Time, Forbes, People, and the Washington Post; and is a regular keynote speaker at FreedomFest, the world’s largest gathering of free minds.

In a riveting RLA Radio episode, host Dennis Tubbergen and financial analyst Karl Denninger deliver a sobering assessment of America's economic future, challenging conventional wisdom on tariffs by framing them as economic equalizers that could revitalize domestic manufacturing while warning of a demographic cliff similar to Japan's—with plummeting birthrates and an aging population threatening both economic growth and asset values—and offering an unsparing critique of America's healthcare system as a bloated industry prioritizing profit over patient care; Denninger acknowledges potential reforms under RFK Jr.'s HHS leadership while cautioning investors that demographic headwinds could significantly devalue retirement assets regardless of policy interventions.

Dennis Tubbergen hosts Michael Oliver, founder and CEO of Momentum Structural Analysis, on this week’s RLA Radio. Oliver explains their unique methodology of measuring price in relation to long-term moving averages to predict market trends. He warns of a significant impending downturn in the US stock market, potentially more severe than historical bubbles like 1929 or 2007. Oliver suggests that while traditional safe havens like US Treasuries may see temporary rallies, the real refuge will be in gold and silver, with gold miners poised for substantial gains. He also highlights vulnerabilities in sectors like healthcare and opportunities in commodities and energy stocks.

Michael Oliver has been studying markets for over four decades, but it was the 1987 stock market crash that became his “aha!” moment and converted him to what he calls “momentum structural analysis.” Mr. Oliver is the CEO of Momentum Structural Analysis LLC, based in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism. Since 1992, Momentum Structural Analysis has provided unique technical research to the financial industry - banks, RIAs, hedge funds, and mutual funds - as well as to individual investors.

Their historical work has been thorough, providing the first recognition of the fascinating transition from speculation in commodities to speculation in financial assets.

Tubbergen predicts a stagflationary environment, with a decline in the value of assets and increased inflation in consumer items. He recommends investing in precious metals and assets without counterparty risk that cannot be printed.

Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio host Dennis Tubbergen speaks with Michael Pento, founder and president of Pento Portfolio Strategies, this week about the current state of the stock market and the potential implications of insider selling. Pento highlights the high ratio of insider selling to insider buying, suggesting that insiders may know something that the mainstream does not. Pento warns of the problems in the banking system, particularly with mortgage-backed securities and treasuries, and the potential for a severe economic downturn and deflationary depression. He suggests that the Fed will likely resort to easing and currency creation and emphasizes the need for active portfolio management to navigate the current and future chaos.

Murray Gunn, the head of global research at Elliott Wave International, joins your host, Dennis Tubbergen, today on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio. Mr. Gunn explains the concept of Elliott wave analysis, which is a model of the economy that identifies repeatable patterns in market behavior. He discusses how these patterns can be used to forecast price developments in various markets, including currencies, commodities, and stocks. Gunn warns that the stock market may experience a decline in 2024, based on Elliott wave analysis and the presence of a Dow Theory non-confirmation, and suggests that cash and certain corporate bonds may be good investment options during this period. Gunn also introduces the concept of socionomics, which posits that social mood drives social actions and can be observed in the stock market and other cultural trends. He speculates that China may experience negative social actions in the near future based on a long-term price pattern and the country's negative social mood.

He worked as a fund manager in global bonds, currencies and stocks, including long posts at Standard Life Investments and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Inflation went from “transient” to, “it's good for you” to, “we've got to do something before we have a revolution on our hands”. But (the Fed) they're kind of trapped now because they can't keep raising (interest rates) because we're seeing what's happening to the debt and the bond markets. They can't raise and they can't lower and they can't stay where they are. They've really painted themselves into a corner, pretty well all the central banks have. Join the conversation on today’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, and guest, Mark Jeftovik, and hear his forecast for inflation, cryptocurrency, and the dollar.

The Central Bank has allowed you to hallucinate and make investment-grade decisions on a micro and a macro level based on a false assumption.

Our guest this week, Mr. Michael Oliver, discusses what his technical analysis is forecasting for the stock markets, bonds, and commodities with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio.
