2025-12-07 Debt, Devaluation & the Coming Reset: Karl Denninger on America’s Economic Crossroads

Author: Dennis Tubbergen December 7, 2025 Duration: 34:58
In this compelling episode of the Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio Program, host Dennis Tubbergen is joined by market analyst Karl Denninger for a frank, unfiltered look at what’s really driving America’s economic turmoil. From the staggering devaluation of the U.S. dollar and the hidden realities behind today’s wages, to soaring healthcare costs, collapsing small-business credit conditions, and the dangers looming in the AI and housing markets, Denninger explains why he believes a recession is not only imminent but inevitable. Together, they explore whether the coming reset will be inflationary, deflationary, or something far more destabilizing—and what everyday Americans must understand to protect their wealth. A powerful, must-listen conversation for anyone concerned about the financial road ahead. 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.
