Ever since you mentioned this planned discussion some days ago I have been really looking forward to it! Edit: Very interesting conversation. I think the power the Fed has is overstated, Highly recommend the Eurodollar University content here on the 'Tube. I was sceptical but over the past year Jeff convinced me that the Fed is more or less irrelevant to the creation of the dollar outside the states because the Eurodollar market is so much larger, and so opaque. This is very clear from interest rates. You touch on this briefly, but I think it is a very important topic.
Adam congrats on your new adventure, i follow you cause you provide honest information which most youtubers mislead for there hidden agendas! to answer your head lines ( Sideways!!! dxy short term soar!) i will tell you the next move later ;)
Thank you Adam good to see you going on your own. Chapters would be most helpful so when we review we can find the discussion points. Thanks again great job. PS I stopped watching Wealthion.
These are real men. They are respectful of each other. Even if they differ in views. They don't call each other names, interupt, degrade, or bilittle. Very classy. I thought these type of folks didn't exist anymore. This is how it's done. Bravo to both of you. Thanks Adamn.
So RARE to see a stellar interview all the way around ! Adam - letting the men speak without interruption is ONE of many reasons why I’m a subscriber ; BOTH guests were TOTAL gentleman to each other - BRAVO !!!
This is your best show ever. It shows what happens when to very smart educated people debate one makes decision based on emotion the other experiences without political bias
Outstanding. Do please get these two gentlemen back on after any momentous moves in either DXY, the Fed funds rate, or global macro conditions. Many potential scenarios were explored. Be great to hear how they redefine their thinking as big events unfold. Maybe a quarterly or biannual event?
I think the format of two experts going back and forth was great. You should look to add this format as a regular occurrence. Great work as always Adam.
Adam, even allowing for some of your best "previous" guests, IMO, this is one of the best open discussions I have seen from two gentlemen who I respect very highly indeed. It is a great format for great minds like Matt and Brent to simply listen to and respond to each other. Thank you sir!!
Adam, I've been watching you since the Wealthion days (haha, that will eventually make me old school). This is the absolutely best interview you've done. Thank you.
Excellent discussion. I really enjoy the back and forth like this, you get a real Venn Diagram on the arguments and positions. That overlap on different perspectives is often more valuable than any given perspective. When Brent was challenging to be presented with a scenario in which the rest of the world doesn't suffer worse GDP hits than the US though, I would have liked to bring up 'energy as GDP'. China 'might' be moving toward modern nuclear power, and if the US steadfastly refuses and takes too long to catch up, that would leave China with 100x + energy to grow their GDP in the face of a struggling US.
Out of the ballpark. Letting two experts discuss through their views of a big problem is a wonderful compliment to the other style of interviews that you do.
At DXY=150 the US will be importing deflation so won’t US interest rates be 0%? I think we will all be turning into Argentina (ie all using the USD) or a common world currency. I loved this discussion and Brent’s great work (and he is such a humble, decent man)
Good job. Hope you bring on Ivy Zelman next. She is starting to switch from neutral to bearish. Would be a really good time to bring her on for housing.
That was a truly classy discussion. Thought provoking to the point that I’ll need to listen to it again, with focus and hitting pause multiple times, to digest all the wonderful nuances and arguments. Fun! Thanks!
Wow, this was amazing, Adam - your best yet imo! I’m a senior financial novice of moderate means who has rarely ventured beyond savings and CDs (but bought iBonds in early 2022 - wohoo!) and I have learned so much from you and your wonderful guests over the years. The discussion today between these two fantastic minds was exceptional. I don’t pretend to understand everything but I love to learn. and am so happy that desire hasn’t dwindled with age!
Absolutely fantastic talk show, Adam, you will succeed with this channel. You are a genius when it comes to interviews. You allow the guest to lead and put there opinions forwards without holding your own opinion. Longterm you should have your on TV channel. Keep up the excellent work.
Excellent! Thanks for putting this together, Adam. Both gents are great analysts and made well reasoned points. Because the financial and economic systems are becoming more unstable, I believe either scenario or anything in between is plausible. Time will tell. I would love to see a similar debate on the short and mid-term direction of inflation which is an equally vexing topic.
Fantastic meeting of two great economic/financial minds! Definitely gives us much to consider as we move thru the fourth turning. Is there any chance we can get Matt and Brent to run for President!?
Remember what California aqueduct builder Big Bill Mulholland said when asked if he would like to run for political office? "I'd rather give birth to a porcupine backwards."
Much of this back and forth conversation (debate) was beyond my baseline grasp of the fundamental economic principals of currency but what I will say it that was really nice to see a civil debate between two people with differing opinions on some points. I think that is so lacking these days. Civil debate. We need that in our society.
What an awesome & informative non complicated discussion. Thank you for making this easy to understand Gentleman. God Bless to you all from Oz Down Under
Piepenburg is 100% class. I feel he held back, but this is how an effective conversation works. Winner? Wrong question. Both are brilliant--but Piepenburg, I feel, is right. In the end, all broke nations debase their money to save their corrupt system. His other interviews make this point factually clear. USA will be no different. Brent never answered the key question of where rates would be with a DXY at 150? He punted. Brent seems to confuse a relatively strong dollar despite gobbs of money printing with a dollar whose purchasing power has been dying since 71, as Piepenburg barely emphasized enough. But Piepenburg knows this. Relative strength means nothing to us on the ground. Great job Adam for such an awesome show.
Brent doesn't confuse it. He is extremely clear that the purchasing power of the dollar will go down, hence why he always says Gold will win. He only argues that the US dollar is the least crappy of the fiat currencies in this relative struggle. Once you understand what Brent is saying, you get it's not a radical theory, it's just a description of how the global economy operates.
No, Brent is greatly confused. He obviously equates DXY performance with dollar strength when the only conversation to be had is how will the dollar perform when we are dealing with paying half our GDP on debt interest. The irony of the ridiculous milkshake theory is that we have the great power of having such a ridiculous debt burden. All you have to do is look at the debt/GDP of every other nation, then look at who constitutes the DXY basket and you will see the big picture of data manipulation and the future of the dollar.
DXY is a measure of dollar strength relative to a basket of currency. Brent would agree with you on US problems, and if the DXY goes up with our level of indebtedness, it would confirm the theory, which has played out the last few years. Also keep in mind some other developed countries are more indebted than the US. If you include all debt/GDP, China is more indebted than the US. His theory is more for folks that live outside the US and deal in multiple currencies, or who always think EM is going to be big this year. It's like I said before, people that attack him always use a strawman. If you understand what he is saying, it's not controversial, he is just explaining how the current system works and why DXY has behaved the way it has the last 15 years despite many online thinking the US is a catastrophe while the rest of the world has no problems, and therefore being confused the last 15 years. @@poletste1
@@alexsmith3576 I agree, and I understand how the other currencies in the basket have devalued themselves to bring credence to the theory. I did not expect the DXY to remain this high myself. But what are we doing here? He says he's not an American sensationalist, but that is exactly what he sounds like to me. His online persona and identity seems to be emotionally tied to this "theory" and I just wonder if it's helping to cloud our ability to predict the future. Yeah, yesterday the DXY rose when every country debased their currencies simultaneously. It just seems presumptive to assume this will continue given the massive amount of my money we will clearly have to print to avoid default. And I disagree with his framing of our high interest rates as a symbol of strength and "bullying" to me it's clearly a weakness, our rates are where they are because the market started selling our bonds not because the fed "moved rates" Brent states rather smugly that our GDP is still rising, but it takes some pretty simple observation to determine it has in fact already been dropping. The official CPI is a joke and so are the nominal GDP numbers. What purpose does the theory serve? Don't buy foreign stocks? That seems laughable to me turkey, Iraq, much of Latin America and a host of foreign companies have outpaced American markets in dollar terms the last three years. And many of the best dividend paying stocks on the planet are on foreign soil. Sure, currency traders still use our dollar fo this an that. But thats a pretty small group of people and the sun still shines on other parts of the globe where people will engage in wealth creation regardless. It takes a minute to look at the debt burden and our interest payment obligations to realize the dollar is f#@cked, and that's what we should be focusing on, not oh well the yen is gonna die first. Once we're dead that's it. Money can be made in anyone's shitty currency as long as you're not letting shitty currencies rot to inflation in a cash account.
I tend to agree with Matt also. If the world is in depression and US in recession what is driving demand for the dollar? Brent like zeihan can only conceive us hegemony though dollar dominance. It is not a substitute for military strength. India is always left out of the conversation. Modi will sit on the sidelines and reap the economic benefits of decline in both us and China.
As a foreigner who’s lived in the USA for 40 years but have worked overseas for a number of years and travelled much as well, I can’t disagree with Brent: What’s the alternative to the dollar? We think of tying the dollar to Gold (and I own gold - about 10% portfolio), but the rest of the world thinks of tying their currency to the dollar. We’re a Big country. We’re a Powerful country. We Cannot be ignored. Some might bring up various other hegemonic currencies like the pound that dominated at one time. But England was never as Big in their natural population, natural country size as the US. We’re the Walmart of the world. And everyone else (except for China) are minor chains, or mom and pop stores. As Mark Twain said: “the reports of my death have been vastly exaggerated”. Likewise the dollar.

Great conversation! The ability to have somewhat differing opinions and still have a conversation is inspiring. I think this would be a good way to move forward in this channel. People with differing opinions need to be a le to come together and have a discussion. Hopefully this channel will give us more of this.
Excellent conversation. Brent's arguments come on top: when he eloquently asked Matthew the key questions, Matthew motor-mouthed around without addressing the actual question.
Thanks Adam , that was a fantastic informative conversation from 2 great guys. I listen to Brent every wk and Matt too . Congratulations on your new channel too . 👍🏻
These guys are both as smart as they come. My guess is that they both end up being right. The dollar will launch mid 2024, we'll see a deflationary bust and the liquidity hoses will get turned back on forcing the dollar lower over time. I don't think the dollar index sees 140/150 but the rise will be destructive nevertheless.
Thank you Adam, you have outstanding qualities as an interviewer and podcast journalist. It is well reflected in your picks for the talking heads in the videos.
Great interview and great debate. In my opinion, Brent won the debate. "Look at everything the United States has done since 2008 and yet, the dollar is 25% higher. What is going to change?" Hard to argue with data like that.
This was more a conversation then debate, they both just recited their perspectives. The problem with Brent and his entire thesis is it doesn't matter hiw "strong" or "weak" dollar is, if it holds no purchasing power for US citizens. That is, and always has been the issue. Even up 25% since 2008, has not limited inflation. The dollar milkshake theory is ahistorical when it comes to inflation and purchasing power. That is the meat and potatoes issue, not what charts say about who has the strongest currency.
The key is what Brent said about the control of the monetary base that the US has and the fact when there is a crisis the dollar gets stronger not weaker as we run to the dollar and as us dollar denominated debt is paid off it becomes stronger. The world will print as well but ultimately all will hyperinflate compared to Gold. I think what is very interesting is I agree with Brent we may be far further away than we would like to think on the hyperinflation scenario but only time will tell. Thanks guys. Big ❤ all around
Thanks for the fascinating and enlightening discussion between two truly amazing intellectual heavyweights. This should be watched if for no other reason than to witness magnanimity and civility, which are currently in very short supply. However, if you are pressed for time, skip it and buy gold.
This was a good conversation. Thank you, Adam. It would be very valuable to have this type of setup with Brent and Luke Gromen. If you could make it happen it would be golden!

Resetting a broken system, doesn't fix the system. It just changes the optics... but whatever was broken before, remains so.
The key is what Brent said about the control of the monetary base that the US has and the fact when there is a crisis the dollar gets stronger not weaker as we run to the dollar and as us dollar denominated debt is paid off it becomes stronger. The world will print as well but ultimately all will hyperinflate compared to Gold. I think what is very interesting is I agree with Brent we may be far further away than we would like to think on the hyperinflation scenario but only time will tell. Thanks guys. Big ❤ all around
Long road ahead thats for sure 🎉🎉🎉
Another fantastic show Adam. Glad to see your new show is up and running.
Matthew = 10,000 words going around in a circle
Brent = 10 precise, concise words to prove a point
Thanks for the fascinating and enlightening discussion between two truly amazing intellectual heavyweights. This should be watched if for no other reason than to witness magnanimity and civility, which are currently in very short supply. However, if you are pressed for time, skip it and buy gold.
Brilliant Adam ! Feeling very privileged viewing those 2 heavy weights chat from the comfort of my living room 😊
Adam, excellent debate and exchange of ideas and different financial & economic outcomes. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Is that a huge disc of gold in your background, Piepenburg?!
