  • Doug is a shell of his old sell & being taken advantage off by this co-host. It’s shameful.

    I love and appreciate Doug and have enjoyed his takes since 2008. This is not anything like the Doug from those years, he is a man who seems to be forced into recording when he’s not physically up to it. The co-host is doing nothing but using Doug’s name to put out a weekly negative black pill doom show where Doug seems to have nothing to do with topics. No matter what happens in news coverage or story’s it’s all terrible and everything is horrible and it’s all Trump 24/7 here. one star with ... more

  • Getting anti trump doug

    Lately is point of view about trump is very repetitive.

    Trump is doing the best work a president could do.

    Before he critized Biden OK Biden was bad. And now trump ? He doesn’t even live in USA

    I like his podcast but lately his point of view is very sad….

    Get some smart things going on and support this actual president that works 24/7 for usa

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Saudi Nuke Deal, Section 219, and the "Golden Age"
Q: You often recommend science fiction to envision the future. Any current picks or authors?
Doug points to classic Golden Age authors like Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Gene Van Vogt, while noting a personal preference for Louis L'Amour for non-sci-fi inspiration and discussing Diamond Age for its AI and nanotech themes.
The Saudi Nuke Deal, Section 219, and the "Golden Age"
Q: Doug, who is Doug's favorite opera and what draws you to it?
Doug explains a strong affinity for Wagner, especially the Ring cycle, while also appreciating light opera like Gershwin's Porgy and Bess for its operatic depth, highlighting how these works mirror grand storytelling and musical complexity.
"Dangerous and Capable of Almost Any Kind of Stupidity" — Doug Casey on America at 250
Q: What do you think about the potential for a country like the US to revert to stricter controls on capital and how people should prepare?
Individuals should assess risk, diversify, and recognize that the state can leverage many tools; preparation involves balancing legal obligations with practical steps to protect wealth while staying within the law.
"Dangerous and Capable of Almost Any Kind of Stupidity" — Doug Casey on America at 250
Q: What are your thoughts on goldbacks as a currency alternative?
Goldbacks are an interesting concept with aesthetic appeal and a premium in the market, but their practical adoption in everyday transactions is not guaranteed and depends on broader acceptance and liquidity.
"Dangerous and Capable of Almost Any Kind of Stupidity" — Doug Casey on America at 250
Q: Doug, do you see the US government as being able to push into areas like foreign accounts or capital controls and confiscate wealth if pushed?
The legal reality is that the government can pass laws and impose penalties, which means you must decide whether to comply or face legal trouble, and you must assess the practical risks of non-compliance.
