2300 FBF: Paula White: Donald Trump's Faith Advisor on the President's Deep Faith
This Flashback Friday was published last June 17, 2020 on YouTube. Pastor Paula White shares what it is like to advise Donald Trump on faith and explains the President's surprising deep faith that she discovered while working with him for 19 years. Paula gives viewers some advice on how to think about what's occurring in our world, and to reckon with these new changes. She says that God doesn't send these difficult times, but that God does allow us to use these times to become stronger and better. Jason points out that while some people are in a decent place, many others are having a difficult time putting food on the table. Paula responds by saying that she survived abuse and grief, and her books discuss how much that God, therapy, and emotional growth led her out of her darkest moments. She explains that she understands the fear and uncertainty, and discusses ways to help get through it. Paula goes more in-depth on her journey through mental health struggles, how she discovered God, and how she copes with fear and pain now as a believer.

2298 FBF: How Income Inequality Can Be Good for Society with Libertarian Legal Scholar Richard Epstein Professor at NYU School of Law
This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, "yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions," Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution. Listen for more details at: www.JasonHartman.com. Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.

2297: Housing Market Insights: Navigating a Shifting Landscape of Prices and Affordability and Evolving Buyer Behavior in a Changing Market
Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

2295 Index Insights with Rahul Sen Sharma: Trade, Tariffs, and Market Outlook
Jason and Rahul Sen Sharma, an expert on indexes from Index (INDXX), discuss global economic shifts, trade wars, and the stock market. His company tracks over $20 billion in index-based assets, aiding companies in creating indexes, ETFs, and funds. He emphasizes focusing on long-term macro trends over daily market noise, highlighting "re-globalization" as a key shift driven by supply chain vulnerabilities and a desire for friendly-shoring and near-shoring. While tariffs may offer short-term benefits to some countries like India and Mexico, the focus should be on transformative trends like EVs, battery tech, renewables, and critical metals for long-term investment. He also touches on the importance of understanding index rulebooks due to performance divergences and addresses concerns about the S&P 500's concentration, suggesting the marketplace will dictate the need for alternative weighting. https://www.indxx.com/ #Indexes #Economy #TradeWar #Tariffs #StockMarket #Globalization #Reglobalization #Friendshoring #Nearshoring #Investment #Finance #ETFs #MarketTrends #Macroeconomics #RahulSenSharma #INDXX Key Takeaways: 1:28 Meet Rahul 2:16 Broad strokes and taking a macro view 5:11 Reglobalization 7:49 Level playing field 9:43 Where do we go from here 13:16 A difference in indexes 16:24 Self-indexing and the active managers 20:50 The big picture perspective Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 289, published last December 18, 2012. Coming to us from London, Max Keiser joins Jason Hartman for a fast-paced interview about what is going on in our world with GDP, the debt ceiling and debt loads, gold and silver markets, and currency collapse. Max is the host of "The Oracle with Max Keiser" for BBC World News and the author of the Keiser Report. Jason and Max discuss how long the world governments can put off the inevitable collapse of the fiat money produced by the central banks. Max talks about the various currencies around the world and which countries are set to implode. Other topics that Max covers are countries that are losing their sovereignty, basically being held hostage and managed by entities outside of their own country, such as the IMF and Central Banks, how bonds play a role in this issue, and the edging toward a global tax. Max talks about the many ways that the world is being led into a globalized currency, which is not a theory, but happening in real time. In addition to hosting the show and authoring the Kesier Report, Max is a blogger for the Huffington Post, and he has also presented features for the "People and Power" new magazine series on Aljazeera English. Max Keiser is the creator, co-founder and former CEO of HSX Holdings/Hollywood Stock Exchange, later sold to Cantor Fitzgerald. He is also the co-founder of HSX films that went on to make almost a dozen films, including "Mixed Signals," "Six-String Samurai," "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81," and "girl." The company was then sold to Ignite Entertainment/Lionsgate. Max designed, scoped, and built the Hollywood Stock Exchange with Michael Burns. Max was awarded a US patent (number 5950176) for the 'Virtual Specialist Technology" on which the Hollywood Stock Exchange operates. He created virtual securities; MovieStocks, and StarBonds and created the first fully convertible virtual currency, the Hollywood Dollar. The Hollywood Stock Exchange remains the highest volume stock exchange in the world.

2292: The Multi-Dimensional Nature of Real Estate Investing and Understanding Macro vs. Micro Real Estate Markets- How to Choose Winning Properties
Jason Hartman explains the multidimensional aspects of real estate investing, including income, depreciation, equity, appreciation, and leverage. He emphasizes the importance of understanding both macro and micro markets when selecting properties. The podcast covers topics like interest rates, rental market trends, and adapting to changing market conditions. Key takeaways include the benefits of fixed-rate mortgages, raising rents annually, and leveraging expert knowledge when investing in different cities. The show also touches on international investing and recommends the book "Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin and Heidi Toffler for insights on future economic trends affecting real estate. Unlike stocks, bonds, mutual funds or commodities such as precious metals like gold and silver – real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class. The multi-dimensional nature of income property makes it extremely profitable in changing ways based on varying market conditions. This is a wonderful thing because investors can profit even seemingly "bad" markets. For example, when financing becomes expensive (low housing affordability rates) or difficult to qualify for (low capital liquidity) it can create excellent opportunities to increase rents. When mortgage rates are low and qualifying is easy it can spur terrific appreciation. You can win either way so long as you adapt your strategy based on economic realities.
