2025-11-03 Debt, Defaults, and the Future of Financial Survival

2025-10-19 Gold Hits $4,200: Why This Monster Rally Signals Dollar Collapse, Not Metal Value
Host Dennis Tubbergen and returning guest Simon Popple dive deep into the unprecedented precious metals rally, with gold surpassing $4,200 and silver breaking $53 per ounce to reach all-time highs.

The discussion explores historical currency debasement from the Roman Empire to modern examples, examines the overvalued AI stock bubble drawing parallels to the dot-com crash, and provides practical advice on incorporating physical metals, mining st...
