Author: Dennis Tubbergen July 6, 2026 Duration: 31:41
Are today's record-high stock prices masking deeper economic problems? In this episode of RLA Radio, Dennis Tubbergen welcomes economist and Market-Ticker founder Carl Denninger for an in-depth discussion of the latest jobs report, record margin debt, rising interest rates, and the growing risks facing the U.S. economy. Carl explains why weakening employment trends, mounting government debt, and excessive market speculation could be laying the groundwork for the next major financial downturn. The conversation also explores whether today's AI investment boom resembles previous market bubbles, why healthcare costs remain a critical fiscal challenge, and why central banks around the world are steadily reducing their reliance on the U.S. dollar while increasing gold reserves. If you're an investor, retiree, or anyone concerned about the future of the economy, this episode offers valuable insights into the forces shaping the financial landscape. 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.
