Macro strategist Lyn Alden joins Darrell to explain why the Fed’s quiet shift away from quantitative tightening marks a new phase of fiscal dominance. She breaks down what this means for currencies, real assets like gold and silver, Bitcoin, and energy markets, and why investors should think in terms of purchasing power, not just nominal returns.

Legendary investor Rick Rule joins VRIC Media to break down why he believes the U.S. dollar will lose 75% of its value in the next decade, and what investors can do about it. From the politics behind inflation and fiscal decay to the resurgence of gold, Rule delivers an unfiltered masterclass on protecting purchasing power, capital formation, and why royalty and streaming companies like Franco-Nevada, Wheaton, and Triple Flag remain the best plays in a changing world.

Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders joins Darrell to break down what the charts are signaling as markets head towards year-end and into 2026. Chris explains where momentum is building, where risk is rising, and how technical analysis cuts through the noise. The conversation also dives into late-cycle behavior in precious metals, volatility ahead, and how traders can stay positioned defensively while still capturing upside.

Alasdair Macleod and Michael Oliver believe that silver's historic run is only just getting started, as years of price suppression has created a situation where the upward pressure can no longer be contained. The duo argue that $60 is the tip of a massive iceberg that threatens to sink faith in fiat currencies and help usher in a new monetary reality, where precious metals reign supreme.
