With all the uncertainty swirling right now, should we run to gold, silver, or something entirely different? And is the U.S. dollar really in trouble or just going through another cycle?
In this episode I bring on David Morgan veteran analyst, author, and publisher of The Morgan Report to cut through the noise and help us separate financial dogma from reality.
David’s been studying markets for over four decades, and his path started young back when U.S. coins moved from 90% silver to clad. That curiosity led him to dig into how money is created, fractional-reserve banking, and why “all fiat fails” is more than a slogan. You’ll hear the story of how, while working in the aircraft industry as a B-1 bomber crew member, a test pilot’s contrarian newsletter opened the door to an entirely different way of thinking about wealth.
We get practical. David explains why most media keeps you in an echo chamber (think Operation Mockingbird and algorithmic bubbles), how to cross-check narratives using international sources (yes, even South African and Russian outlets for a different lens), and how to apply an engineer’s mindset objectivity and first principles to your money.
Then we go deep on currencies. Will the dollar “die,” or simply reprice? David outlines two classic paths debt-liquidating deflation vs. hyperinflationary depression and why the likely reality is a split outcome: over-levered assets (like margin-soaked equities and some real estate) reprice lower while essential commodities (especially food) can climb. We talk what that means for everyday investors who want cash flow and stability, not headlines.
We also tackle the next phase of money: tokenization and potential CBDCs. David walks through how a digital-first system could roll out (with “on-ramp incentives,” digital ID, and iris-scan pilots already normalizing the idea), what the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) is publishing about the rails, and the kind of “crisis pretext” that could accelerate adoption. Whether you’re crypto-curious or crypto-cautious, you need to understand the direction of travel even if you ultimately choose to stay analog.
Actionably, we cover how to position for resilience:
• Why hard assets matter (paid-off real estate, energy and ag exposure where practical). • How precious metals can be more than “dead assets” via royalty/streaming companies and selective miners that pay dividends with the potential to boost yield through options overlays like covered calls. • When cryptos might fit as a satellite holding vs. core money metals. • Why self-reliance (even basic home and trade skills) is a real edge in a tech-heavy, fragile system.
Finally, David shares resources at themorganreport.com/money (including a concise outline, documentary recommendation, and a complimentary consultation) and his bigger mission: truth, transparency, and financial freedom through honest money. If you care about cash flow, optionality, and owning your financial future not renting it this conversation gives you frameworks you can actually use.
