481: The Collapse of the Dollar's Empire and @MilkshakesPod with Brent Johnson
The Dollar Milkshake Theory, proposed by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, predicts a surge in the US dollar's value compared to other currencies. This is due to the US's strong financial system, deep markets, and the dominance of the dollar in global transactions, like oil purchases. When a global debt crisis strikes, countries will scramble for dollars to pay off their debts, further boosting the dollar's value. This could lead to a "dollar milkshake effect" where money flows heavily into the US, inflating asset prices there. They also explore Modern Monetary Theory's role in this scenario, suggesting the US government's printing of money can continue to fuel dollar demand for some time. #BrentJohnson #DollarMilkshakeTheory #GlobalEconomy #CurrencyStrength #FinancialMarkets #DebtCrisis #USDollar #Petrodollar #CapitalMarkets #MMT #Inflation #AssetPrices Key Takeaways: 0:28 The Dollar Milkshake theory and the debt crisis 6:45 The straw and the US dollar's best deal 10:46 Modern Monetary Theory 12:01 Kicking the can down the road- for how long? 14:32 The storm before the storm 17:32 An "End of the world" scenario 19:07 Weak dollar vs. strong dollar, inflation vs. deflation 22:33 Echo chambers and the big social craziness coming 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

480: American Fascism, Corporatism & Elite Oppression- on a Global Scale @IvorCumminsScience @wef
Jason welcomes Ivor Cummins, author of "Eat Rich, Live Long!", who transitioned from corporate problem-solving to investigating food supply corruption. He shared a conference stage with Jason Hartman, discussing elite class agendas. Cummins, a biochemical engineer, criticized the handling of COVID-19, comparing it to a severe flu. He believes media and pharmaceutical industries push biased information. Cummins also explores the World Economic Forum, linking its origins to Rockefeller influences and global control ambitions. He argues that climate change and pandemics are manipulated narratives. Cummins emphasizes the need for a broad, integrative approach to understand these complex, interwoven issues. He also highlights the significant influence of the Rockefeller family and their collaboration with figures like Henry Kissinger in shaping a new world order. Cummins emphasizes that the Rockefeller Brothers, wielding immense financial power, sought to create a global structure affecting all aspects of life. This effort was characterized by the establishment of influential organizations like the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations, aimed at fostering a totalitarian world order. Cummins argues that this represents fascism and corporatocracy, where corporate power merges with government influence, as evidenced by entities like the World Economic Forum (WEF). Funded by major corporations such as Microsoft, IBM, and Goldman Sachs, the WEF exemplifies the unification of corporate and state power, echoing Mussolini's definition of fascism. This corporatocracy manipulates global narratives, using crises like pandemics and climate change to enforce control and push their agenda, reflecting a profound corporatist influence over global governance. https://thefatemperor.com/ #IvorCummins #worldeconomicforum #CorporateCorruption #FoodSupply #COVID19 #PandemicResponse #WorldEconomicForum #Rockefeller #EliteAgendas #MediaBias #PharmaInfluence #ComplexProblems #IntegrativeApproach #RockefellerInfluence #TrilateralCommission #UnitedNations #Fascism #Corporatocracy #WEF #CorporatePower #GlobalGovernance #PandemicControl #ClimateChangeAgenda #CorporateState #GlobalElite #powerandinfluence 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

477: Market Dynamics: Inventory, Interest Rates, and Buyer Behavior with Sean O'Toole of Property Radar
Jason and Sean O'Toole of PropertyRadar.com discuss the current state of the real estate market, focusing on inventory trends, the impact of high interest rates, and the value of real estate over price. They also explore the potential for price drops, the influence of technological advancements on prices, and the challenges of rising housing costs. Lastly, they examine the activities of wholesalers in the real estate market and the ongoing issue of foreclosures, with Sean providing insights on his company's data tracking system and the shift in the market due to a scarcity of available properties. They also discuss the impact of housing inventory levels and credit card debt, noting the importance of adjusting these figures for population growth. O'Toole highlights California's housing crisis, where strict building regulations and NIMBYism hinder affordable housing development. He points out that while modern homes are sturdier, the costs have skyrocketed, making new affordable housing virtually "illegal." O'Toole also explains the shift in the real estate market, where wholesalers are increasingly selling properties directly to consumers rather than investors due to inventory shortages, affecting traditional investment strategies. https://www.propertyradar.com/ #RealEstate #HousingMarket #InventoryCrisis #HomePrices #AffordableHousing #HousingShortage #BuildingCodes #CaliforniaHousing #ForeclosureCrisis #RealEstateInvestment #HomeConstruction #HousingPolicy #MarketTrends #RealEstateTips #InvestmentProperties 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

Jason and Lance Lambert finish their discussion as they explore the "lock-in effect" caused by historically low mortgage rates.

Data from Zillow and institutional players like Invitation Homes and American Homes for Rent provide insights into rental trends.

474: Navigating the Tight Resale Market: Lance Lambert's Expert Analysis on Housing Supply Dynamics Part 1
Lance Lambert, co-founder of Resi Club, discusses the real estate market's nuances with host Jason Hartman. Lambert highlights the tight resale market, down 30-35% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019, noting that despite this, 2019 wasn't a buyer's market. Affordability strains persist, especially in areas like Connecticut, impacted by the "donut effect" from pandemic migration. Lambert emphasizes builders' resilience, adjusting home sizes and finishes to tackle affordability while maintaining profit margins. He anticipates a shift towards smaller homes due to changing demographics.
