The Imminent Collapse of Boomer Wealth
Podcast
August 30, 2026

In this episode of the Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles is joined by Rod Palmer, credentialed journalist and co-host of Bugle News. Brandon and Rod capture the cultural and economic zeitgeist of late summer 2026—breaking down the sudden market surge, recent hardware sponsor shocks, and the deepening cracks in global macro markets.
They explore the mechanics of sovereign debt, generational friction as Boomers face an absence of exit liquidity for overvalued assets, and the expansion of Flock surveillance cameras across American cities.
