616: Lumber SHORTAGE = Logistical Nightmare! Simon Caron, Uneducated Economist

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 14:05:48 +0000

Jason Hartman welcomes Simon Caron, the Uneducated Economist, who quite frankly, is a lot more educated than many economists out there! With a background in the lumber industry and his direct work in sales at a lumberyard, Simon's research comes from real world, real life experience as he deals firsthand with the current building material and lumber shortage logistical nightmare on a daily basis.

He reports that lead time for a lot of building materials is now three months and discusses the Cantillon Effect, worsening inequality and the crisis builders are facing just to get their projects completed. Builders are having to order supplies before they even have a permit, putting the cart before the horse! Simon also encourages you to pay close attention to debt (especially corporate debt), rising interest rates and central bank digital currencies.

UneducatedEconomist.com
"Welcome to the Uneducated Economist, the place where street level thoughts and conversations take place covering all things macroeconomics. I have never taken an economics course, nor was I raised with that being a common topic of discussion. When the great financial crisis hit in 2007, I found myself very confused by the collapse of the economy. What started off as curiosity, grew to a hobby, and has now become an obsession. Studying the economy, the cause and effects of monetary and fiscal policy is difficult to understand - to say the least. As The Uneducated Economist I take complex economic issues and break them down so anyone can understand and have a conversation about."

Key Takeaways:

1:00 Welcome Simon Caron, the Uneducated Economist - the logistical nightmare behind the current lumber shortage

5:00 Builders need to order supplies before they even have a permit which puts the cart before the horse

6:08 If building material costs keep going up, how can home prices stabilize?

8:35 Widening gap between housing starts and housing completions

10:43 Windows are to houses as semiconductor chips are to automotives

12:35 Simon Caron explains the Cantillon Effect

15:24 The Cantillon Effect leads to wealth transfer and poverty

17:50 How will this building and construction issue play out over the next 1-2 years?

20:33 The Fed has lost control over inflation

23:12 California's supply chain problems and shortages

23:54 Decline in the standard of living

27:33 Pay attention to debt (especially corporate debt), rising interest rates and central bank digital currencies

30:23 Moving away from the Dollar as a reserve currency

31:29 The good, the bad, and the ugly about central bank digital currencies

33:06 Central bank digital currencies and universal basic income are inextricably connected

35:21 It's become burdensome to use cash

615: Doomberg Predicts Scary Food Shortage Crisis Ahead!

Thu, 12 May 2022 23:16:58 +0000

Jason Hartman welcomes a special guest today, the mysterious and brilliant Doomberg, to discuss if the story of 2022 could be a food inflation and food shortage crisis born directly from the energy crisis that we're seeing today. Jason and Doomberg take on this ongoing train wreck energy crisis we're living through and discuss how China's response to the energy crisis that started in Europe is creating even more supply chain issues. The cost of energy is embedded into every product and service, and Doomberg demonstrates how this energy crisis is going to feed into substantial price shocks in the food space. Just consider how the price of fertilizer has recently skyrocketed! These increases will hit the poor and the lower middle classes of the economic spectrum the hardest, but they offer some possible solutions for uncertain times ahead.

"Doomberg is the anonymous publishing arm of a bespoke consulting firm providing advisory services to family offices and c-suite executives. Its principals apply their decades of experience across heavy industry, private equity and finance to deliver innovative thinking and clarity to complex problems."

614: Whole Heart Solution with Dr. Joel Kahn, Holistic Cardiologist

Sun, 08 May 2022 03:00:00 +0000

Jason Hartman welcomes holistic cardiologist and America's Healthy Heart Doc, Dr. Joel Kahn, for a great discussion about maintaining a healthy heart. Why are we much more aggressive at screening for asymptomatic diseases that are ten times less deadly than the number one disease affecting Americans? Dr. Kahn's work seeks to remedy this problem and on today's show, he shares his wisdom on diet, exercise, cholesterol, preventative tests, intermittent fasting and his science based approach to heart health.

1:00 Welcome Dr. Joel Kahn, holistic cardiologist and America's Healthy Heart Doc

2:41 Dr. Kahn's book: Dead Execs Don't Get Bonuses

5:12 Testing your heart with a CT scan

7:17 Heart disease and inherited cholesterol

9:30 How to handle inflammation

11:44 What exactly is cholesterol and is it really a big deal?

19:15 A plant based diet

21:46 Dr. Kahn's thoughts on intermittent fasting

24:01 Find Dr. Kahn at DrJoelKahn.com or KahnLongevityCenter.com

"At his core, Dr. Joel Kahn believes that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. He passionately lectures throughout the country about the health benefits of a plant-based anti-aging diet inspiring a new generation of thought leaders to think scientifically and critically about the body's ability to heal itself through proper nutrition. One of the world's top cardiologists, Dr. Joel Kahn has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. He'd like all that to stop. He'd like to prevent ALL future heart attacks by breaking through to the public to educate and inspire a new holistic lifestyle. Now is the time to focus on educating the public to eat clean, sweat clean and apply cutting edge science to their lifestyle."

612: How the Fed is FAILING You with Joseph Brown, Founder of Heresy Financial

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 17:15:26 +0000

What happens when the money supply is expanding more than ever, the government is more indebted than it's ever been and interest rates are at the lowest they've ever been? Find out with Jason Hartman and the founder of Heresy Financial, Joseph Brown as they discuss this and much more!

We are seeing the largest monetary expansion in US history which has triggered some very high inflation numbers. The last two years have given the government an excuse to start monetizing a ton of government debt by printing money. This is a top down financing tool for redirecting purchasing power, instead of creating new purchasing power, and leads to a misallocation of resources due to the unlimited purchasing power at the top. This misallocation causes the destruction of wealth and will eventually lead to financial repression.

And so, the question is not a matter of if the Federal Reserve will spark a crash, but the question is when and how much before they reverse course.

Follow Joseph Brown, founder of Heresy Financial on Twitter: https://twitter.com/heresyfinancial?s=20

Key Takeaways:

1:00 Welcome Joseph Brown, founder of Heresy Financial

1:47 The Federal Reserve, tapering and rising interest rates

3:55 Injecting cash into the repo market to prevent a systemic financial collapse

6:20 Quantitative easing infinity, monetizing government debt

7:50 The Federal Reserve is under pressure to get inflation under control

8:45 What will happen when the Fed raises interest rates in 2022?

9:40 Not if, but when will the Fed spark an economic crash?

10:01 Will investors still want to buy real estate with higher interest rates?

12:50 Why the real estate market is different this time

14:50 Every bailout costs more and more

16:40 Long and short term interest rates and the yield curve

18:55 Stimulus checks, universal basic income, and a central bank digital currency

21:48 The Federal Reserve has become more political

23:20 A central bank digital currency is complete financial repression

24:40 Joe Brown's 2022 economic predictions

26:15 Effects of hyperinflation

28:44 People with the power will always make the decision that is most beneficial to them

611: Rise And Fall Of Empires, China's New World Order, To Govern The Globe, Alfred McCoy

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Jason Hartman interviews Alfred W. McCoy, Harrington Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on his work investigating the changing nature of empires, the kind of world orders they create and projecting this knowledge into the future. McCoy's latest book To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change, analyzes the rise and fall of empires through their geopolitics.

Can the liberal international order that the United States created during its 70 years as the world's great hegemon survive? Will the rise of China displace the US? China is using the Belt and Road Initiative to break our economic dominance over Eurasia and if that happens, then it is almost as if by natural law, power and profit will flow to Beijing and China will become the epicenter of the global economy. Global accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that by 2030, China's economy will be 50% larger than the US economy.

Jason Hartman and Alfred McCoy also discuss the dollar as the world's reserve currency, China's presence in Africa and the ramifications of climate change producing very serious problems for world order.

Key Takeaways:

1:39 In 600 years of world history, there have been 90 empires, but only 3 world orders

2:53 All powerful empires have an expiration date

3:43 Will the Chinese regime displace the US? Even with their growing demographic problem?

5:48 What happened when China joined the World Trade Organization?

6:56 To be the global hegemon, you must dominate Eurasia

8:17 Estimates say that by 2030, China's economy will be 50% larger than the US economy

9:15 Nixon in China

10:99 Post Cold War US globalized economy

12:31 Securing a permanent lien on middle eastern oil after the 9/11 attacks

14:08 Renewable and nuclear energy

16:41 China as the world's global hegemon by 2030, will be the most adversely affected by climate change

20:13 Extending the retirement age

21:39 Evolution of the current world order

24:16 Lifting people out of poverty

26:23 China has had serious and sustained economic engagement with Africa for the past 45 years

31:46 Will the dollar retain reserve currency status?

34:26 Climate change refugees and the world order

36:45 Could the world collapse into global disorder?

39:33 Transforming our energy infrastructure into renewable energy

41:04 Potential technology to help us cope with climate change?

Fri, 22 May 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Ellen Brown is today's guest here to discuss Universal Basic Income, UBI. As well, she shares some interesting details about what happens to the money when a debt is paid. How did China increase its money supply by such a large percentage in two decades?

Key Takeaways:

Guest: Ellen Brown, author of over a dozen books including, The Public Bank Solution, From Austerity to Prosperity

[2:30] What is a postal account?

[10:45] What is the end game of money spending?

[12:10] Money is lent into existence. Banks create the principal but they don't create the interest, so debt always grows faster than the money supply.

[15:00] The real economy is always short of money because there's a hole in the bucket that always drains into the financial economy.

[16:00] What is the financialized economy?

[20:20] Debt grows until it gets so high that people can't borrow anymore, so they pay down their debts instead of taking out new debts. That shrinks the money supply. That goes into deflation which goes into depression.

[22:30] Money evaporates when it pays off the debt.

[26:30] All of our money is credit. China increased its money supply by 1800% in twenty years, and they did not run into hyperinflation. Find out more.

Learn why Casey advises one to invest in mining, and his feelings on bonds, stocks, cash, gold, and cryptocurrency in comparison.

[1:20] "The biggest hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials" - Casey

[4:45] Casey presupposes that the worst of the 2008 recession is yet to come, and that for the last 8-10 years, we have been in the calm, the eye, of the storm.

[6:30] "This could be more than a financial meltdown. Possibly an economic and social meltdown as well."

[7:00] The U.S. is no longer a country, but more-so a multi-dimensional, domestic, empire.

[9:20] Bonds are a triple threat, about the worst place for your money at this time.

[11:30] Bonds, stocks, cash, gold, cryptocurrency?

[15:15] Have we entered the greater depression? This could potentially be the biggest upset since the industrial revolution.

[20:50] Surviving a depression, the most important thing is to have assets where there is no counter-party risk. Something in which you don't have to trust a bank, insurance company, or your pension fund.

546: Why Companies Fail, Conquer the Crash, Elliott Wave

Fri, 01 May 2020 16:00:00 +0000

Jason Hartman shares sound advice on the top four reasons that a company fails. Steve Hochberg joins Jason to break down the methods of the Elliott Wave Principle. Listen to how the Elliott Wave Principle used collective investor psychology to predict 2020 stock market trends, without the influence of Coronavirus, as early as late 2019. Will we continue to see the stability of linear markets vs the volatility of cyclical markets, post-pandemic? Do recessions cause cautious businessmen or do cautious businessmen cause recessions?

Key Takeaways:

[2:30] From a discussion: the four primary reasons a company fails

[4:00] Number one, FEAR - Faults, education, appearing, real

[5:15] Number two, mindset

[9:00] Number three, lack of connections

[11:30] Number four, Lacking systems and process

[15:20] What is going on in the financial world?

[17:00] Unfolding the Elliott Wave Principle

Lisa says that deep inside every mom is a "Survival Mom" whose passion for her family drives her to make the best of the present and prepare for the future. Lisa shares that passion along with a long-standing, slightly crazed fascination with natural disasters, survival stories and preparing for the unknown. This drives her husband, the Paranoid Dad, crazy. You'll hear importance of preparedness and being proactive and ideas tried, successes as well as failures. A forty-something mother of two home schooled children and wife to a busy, self-employed husband, Lisa lives in the greater Phoenix area, also known as Hell's Waiting Room!

Lisa spent nine years as a classroom teacher, four years as a teacher mentor, and have had the same home-based sales business for over 17 years. Prior to her professional career, she believes she set a world record for holding the most part-time jobs during my high school and college years! The future has always been uncertain, a massive earthquake could take out half of the United States at any moment. What makes right now different is the uncertainty on so many levels: the economy, national security, natural disasters and a world increasingly filled with threats against our country.

If you've been stashing away a few groceries every week or researching how to make a solar powered generator, you're not alone! Our concerns for the present and future can be channeled into actions that will help provide for and protect our families while still enjoying the heck out of life!

Tue, 05 Nov 2019 04:40:21 +0000

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 136, originally published in April 2013.

Kerry Lutz is the Host of The Financial Survival Network. He joins Jason to discuss what the Financial Survival Network (FSN) is and why he started it. He also shares some tips on how to survive financially.

Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school's library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and life long serial entrepreneur. His diverse career has included: running a legal printing company, practicing commercial law and litigation and founding a successful distressed asset investment company.

After the 2008 financial collapse and the continued global economic deterioration, Kerry realized people needed a reliable source for accurate information. Believing that inflation would eventually run rampant, he dedicated himself to helping people protect and preserve their wealth. He urged investors to re-balance their investment portfolios and to implement precious metals based strategies to adapt to the new economic order. The ability to perceive economic reality, as well as to separate truth from governmental inspired economic fantasy will be essential for economic survival and prosperity in the years ahead.

514 FBF: Cannabis Therapeutics & Reform of Marijuana Laws with Clint Werner

Fri, 18 Oct 2019 16:00:00 +0000

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 118, originally published in January 2013.

It is commonly known that cannabis (marijuana) helps with glaucoma and the side effects of chemotherapy. What isn't widely known is that our bodies possess an endocannabinoid system, which regulates almost every system of our health. The phytocannabinoids produced in marijuana are very similar in molecular structure to the cannabinoids that our bodies produce. Author Clint Werner joins Jason Hartman to discuss studies that have proven the health benefits of marijuana, including for the treatment of Alzheimers, protecting the health of diabetics and fight the spread of breast cancer cells. Clint talks about the demonizing of marijuana that started in the '30s by Federal agents and a journalist spreading "reefer madness" throughout the country. He also discusses needed reforms. Other facts about marijuana include protecting the brain by reducing inflammation and by stimulating the production of healthy new brain cells and reducing the risk of chronic, long-term smokers for developing lung cancer. Additionally, Clint talks about the differences between strains of marijuana grown in various climates and conditions, including indoors in artificial light versus outdoors in sunlight; the health benefits of THC; smoking versus vaporization; and the numerous forms in which it is available, such as tinctures and salves.

Clint Werner has degrees in journalism and library science and has worked in the field of preventive health care for over 25 years. He studied macrobiotic cooking and practice in Boston in 1985, relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area where he co-authored the San Francisco Police Department's health and fitness plan in 1987 and worked teaching AIDS, cancer and heart disease patients how to improve their health with diet and lifestyle changes. His writing has appeared in the book Cannabis Therapeutics in HIV/AIDS, the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics, Macrobiotics Today, Canine Chronicle, the San Francisco Sentinel and other publications. Clint has been named "Activist of the Month" for June by NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

512 FBF: Business of Disease & Fusing Mind with Matter with Sonia Barrett

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:17:43 +0000

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 115, originally published in December 2012.

On this show, we have talked about food, medication and just about everything that makes us sick. For this episode, Jason Hartman is joined by Sonia Barrett to talk about her forthcoming documentary, The Business of Disease. Sonia is an author and the host/producer and founder of Sovereign Mind Radio. She wrote an article in 2010 entitled "The Marketing of Breast Cancer, the pink ribbon agenda, and received staggering positive feedback. It led to the production of The Business of Disease. Sonia takes a look at how marketing and media, such as the pink ribbons, drive a huge business for the awareness and treatment of breast cancer. She points out that various businesses make tons of money from different events and fundraisers, and hospitals make more money from mammograms. In the documentary, Sonia took a look at how all of the awareness efforts for breast cancer affect the brain, not just for women, but for their spouses and children. This is a segue into talking about Sonia's book, The Holographic Canvas: The Fusing of Mind and Matter. She explains that our belief system is shaped by society, family, and upbringing, and without asking questions, those belief systems establish what reality is going to look like for each of us. This can make our reality less than authentic and more of "going with the flow." Reality is what we focus on and whatever each person focuses on at any given moment in their life is what is real to them. Sonia encourages examining belief systems.

He bravely confronts the profound distrust of the market. Lott shows how free markets liberate the best, most creative, and most generous aspects of our society, while efforts to constrain economic liberty, no matter how well intentioned, invariably lead to increased poverty and injustice.

Lott has published over 90 articles in academic journals.
