There's a fancy word that the government likes to use called quantitative easing.

And it just means that the Fed printed more money, which means they created more digital money in a computer.

People have gotten really concerned about the idea of digital currency.

And for the most part, we've been on it for a very long time because most dollars created

Jeremy Slate is quite the historian, and he's here to help me compare the fall of Rome with where we are in the fall of the dollar and America.

Before we start just a quick word about one of our sponsors.

For over a decade, our friends at Noble Gold Investments have helped Americans protect themselves

you know what that means to you and your portfolio.

Now, nobody knows what 2026 will bring,
