2025-09-21 Market Warning Signals Flash Red: Why This Economic 'Boom' May Be Built on Dangerous Leverage

Author: Dennis Tubbergen September 21, 2025 Duration: 37:17
Economic analyst Karl Denninger joins Dennis Tubbergen on 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.
