| 10/10/25 |  The Arithmetic of America: Rick Rule explains the Dishonest Default | We’re back with one of our favorite guests — Rick Rule — just as gold crosses $4,000 an ounce.Last time Rick joined The Covered Call, Bitcoin had hit $100,000. This time, he’s back to explain why the arithmetic of America no longer adds up - and why that’s great news for people with real skills.Rick argues that what’s coming isn’t an honest default, but a dishonest one - a slow erosion of purchasing power disguised as stability.But instead of despair, he offers a blueprint for thriving in chaos:“People who deliver real utility in a free market will do extraordinarily well.”In this conversation, we cover:* Why inflation isn’t an accident, it’s policy.* How to use volatility and liquidity to your advantage.* Why the next decade will punish the entitled and reward the capable.* Why Rick is “celebrating retirement by starting a bank.”* What true freedom means in an age of dishonest money.Rick’s message is timeless - and timely: crisis is the sorting mechanism that separates the useful from the dependent.If you enjoy it, share it with someone who’s preparing for the next decade rather than hiding from it.See you inside,Jason & Lovis This is a public episode.
