What happens when confidence in fiat money begins to fade?

On this week’s RLA Radio, Dennis Tubbergen explains why inflation isn’t just a theory — it’s math — and why history shows fiat currencies eventually give way to tangible assets like gold and silver.

Dennis is joined by Jeffrey Tucker for a wide-ranging conversation on de-dollarization, rising precious-metal demand, and why silver prices are surging.

If you’re concerned about inflation, currency confidence, or what comes next for the economy, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Inflation may be “cooling” in the headlines—but food prices, bond yields, and long-term risks tell a different story.

In this episode of RLA Radio, I break down why grocery prices are up more than 30% since 2020, how unprecedented money creation has distorted asset prices, and why the U.S. economy may be drifting toward stagflation—rising prices alongside slowing growth.

I’m joined by Murray Gunn, Head of Global Research at Elliott Wave International, for a global market outlook that challenges conventional thinking. We discuss why U.S. stock gains may largely reflect dollar devaluation, why bond yields could move much higher, and how social mood and geopolitics factor into market cycles.

If you’re thinking seriously about inflation, market volatility, and portfolio risk heading into 2026, this conversation provides critical context.
