  • Just another out of touch rich guy whining about how "bad" things are. Rich dude who thinks he's a smart libertarian. These people are horrible, but I guess the stick shtick sells.

    I’ve been a Gold bug a few years now, and really do enjoy the crisp and often cutting approach to the debate on global shifts, and the people behind them. Great stuff #QTR . We need a Trump here if you have a spare one. ATB.

  • Incredible

    Been listening to this podcast for many years now. Chris is a great host and puts his reputation on the line to help listeners get the information they need in a funny, charismatic format. Only wish he came out with podcasts more often like he used to. A little unpredictable which is also why you grow to love the guy.

Quoth the Raven #352 - QTR on Palisades Gold Radio 3/19/25
Q: Where do you think we are four years from now, let's say? As a country, as an economy, are we better off or worse off?
Irons expresses uncertainty, suggesting there could either be a return to previous political power or a continued populist uprising. He emphasizes that to make a real change, discomfort and fiscal responsibility will be essential, and that substantial cuts may be needed for improvement in the long term.
Quoth the Raven #350 - Matt Taibbi
Q: How do you divide up the reasoning for those decisions between networks trying to save their viewership versus being threatened by alternative media?
Taibbi explains it's due to a paralysis in big media organizations as they face declining numbers and lack a replacement strategy for their old models, leading to firings without a clear ethos for coverage moving forward.
