Dvorak warns of an upcoming collapse in the municipal bond market triggered by new Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) rules. These statements (68-74) require cities to list unfunded pension liabilities on their primary balance sheets, which will reveal that many California cities are effectively broke. Dvorak predicts this financial realization will occur in mid-2017, potentially creating opportunities for investors to short bonds or move into gold and Bitcoin.

Based on 80-year and 170-year economic cycles, a major global collapse is predicted for 2017. This cycle theory suggests that the world may avoid a total collapse in the immediate term but will face a significant downturn in three to four years.

Dvorak presents his thesis on 40-year and 80-year economic depression cycles, comparing the current era to the 1850s. He argues that the discovery of shale gas and oil in the U.S. is acting as a temporary wealth influx similar to the 1849 Gold Rush, potentially delaying a major crash until 2017. The discussion covers the historical depression of 1857 and a predicted global conflagration in 2020.

The hosts suggest this influx of "free money" from energy resources might delay a total economic collapse until approximately 2017.

The hosts anticipate a secondary economic collapse in 2017, followed by a period of growth. They speculate that the next major conflict will be a "cyber war" involving attacks on the power grid and potentially a domestic false flag event in 2013.
