<h3>A Note from James:</h3>Oh my gosh. I always feel like my IQ goes up when I talk to Jim Rickards. He has so much knowledge about so many things, but particularly, he's been there, done that when it comes to all things in the economy. Some of his stories about what he's personally seen and done are tied to some of the most famous events in the economy over the past 50 years.Anyway, he wrote a new book, Money GPT, which is about the financial aspects of AI and how it could affect the economy. But we started off with the basics. I just wanted to ask him: What do you think is going to happen in this economy? And we go deep. So, we divided this into two parts.Part one covers everything you need to know about the current state of the U.S. economy. This was a real education for me, and I read a lot about this stuff. So, I’m excited to share it with you. The second part, which will come out later, is all about AI and its effects on the economy.Here's my friend Jim Rickards. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this as much as I did. And, as always, if you have any comments or questions, let me know. And, please, subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already.<h3>Episode Description:</h3>In this episode, James Altucher sits down with renowned economist and author Jim Rickards to break down the complexities of today’s economy. With decades of experience and a front-row seat to some of history’s most pivotal financial events, Jim delivers sharp insights into the forces driving economic cycles. This discussion dives into historical parallels, the impact of policy decisions, and what lies ahead for the U.S. economy under potential future administrations.Jim also shares his take on how recession cycles play out, the legacy of interest rate hikes, and why both borrower and lender psychology matter more than Federal Reserve actions. Packed with valuable lessons, this episode offers a rare look at economic trends from a perspective few can match.<h3>What You’ll Learn:</h3><ol><li>The historical parallels between Reagan-era recessions and today’s economic landscape.</li><li>Why low interest rates aren’t necessarily a stimulus and the real drivers of economic growth.</li><li>How borrower and lender behavior impact recessions more than Federal Reserve policies.</li><li>The role of government and corporate partnerships in shaping modern economies.</li><li>What could catalyze a shift from stagnation to growth in today’s economic climate.</li></ol><h3>Timestamped Chapters:</h3><ul><li>[00:01:30] Introduction to Jim Rickards and his new book, Money GPT</li><li>[00:02:17] Overview of the U.S. economy’s current state</li><li>[00:03:16] Historical parallels: Lessons from Reagan-era recessions</li><li>[00:07:02] Interest rates: Stimulus or symptom of deeper issues?</li><li>[00:10:14] Depression vs. recession: How the definitions shape our understanding</li><li>[00:18:33] The psychology of lending and borrowing in recessions</li><li>[00:27:20] Modern banking, bail-ins, and the Silicon Valley Bank collapse</li><li>[00:34:21] The Fed’s limits: What really moves the economy</li><li>[00:45:21] Government-corporate partnerships: Are we living in a new era of fascism?</li><li>[00:58:22] Can Trump’s policies truly drain the swamp and drive economic growth?</li></ul><h3>Additional Resources:</h3><ul><li>Jim Rickards’ book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593718631/">Money GPT</a></li><li>Jim Rickards’ previous works: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IZLPMKO">The Death of Money</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SRCT7GL">Aftermath</a></li></ul>

Jim Rickards: Will Trump Save the Economy and Drain the Swamp?

A Note from James:"So in a few hours, as I am saying this. The election of 2024 will begin. I'm doing this podcast on Monday evening, and I wanted to address a couple of important issues that people don't seem to know about in terms of how a presidential election in the United States works. And in particular, there are a couple of loopholes where I think it is possible to legally cheat in this election, and I'm not talking about either candidate but the big question that has been on my mind and on many people's minds, is it possible to quote-unquote, legally cheat in an election?"Episode Description:In this episode, recorded on the eve of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, I dive deep into the complexities of the U.S. electoral system and explore potential legal loopholes that might allow for what I call 'legal cheating' in an election. I clarify that this discussion is unbiased, focusing neither on Democrats nor Republicans specifically. I explain how the U.S. Constitution and state legislatures play key roles in the election process, the distinctions between a popular vote and the electoral college, and historical precedents that could impact the integrity of the election. We also explore scenarios where state legislatures could manipulate the process, the implications of Trump's impeachment for insurrection, and how these factors play out in a tightly contested election. While shedding light on these potential loopholes, I emphasize their improbability but underscore the importance of understanding them.

In this podcast, I discuss the potential legal loopholes in the U.S. Constitution that could be exploited to alter the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing that it does not involve illegal tampering by any political party. I explain the intricacies of the Electoral College versus a popular vote, historical precedents, and possible scenarios where state legislatures could delay or change the results legally. Although there are ways to 'legally cheat,' I believe such methods are unlikely to be pursued due to potential political fallout and existing legal precedents.

How to legally 'Cheat' in The Presidential Election

<h3>A Note from James:</h3><blockquote>"That was insane. Kevin Shipp, 17 years with the CIA, then, he had some wild experiences that led to him leaving the CIA. He wrote, just published a book that he published without the CIA's permission. It's called Twilight of the Shadow Government. And I got almost scared during this interview that maybe I shouldn't even release this podcast episode. I don't want to say anything. He didn't say anything that was like crazy or off the deep end. I just got scared. And when you listen to the episode or, and read the book, you'll see why. So I'm just going to go right into it. And I'd love to hear your comments. Here it is. Twilight of the Shadow Government about the CIA."</blockquote><h3>Episode Description:</h3>In this episode, former CIA officer Kevin Shipp sits with James Altucher to unravel secrets and operations that rarely see the light of day.

<description>&lt;h3&gt;A Note from James:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That was insane. Kevin Shipp, 17 years with the CIA, then, he had some wild experiences that led to him leaving the CIA. He wrote, just published a book that he published without the CIA's permission. It's called &lt;i&gt;Twilight of the Shadow Government&lt;/i&gt;. And I got almost scared during this interview that maybe I shouldn't even release this podcast episode. I don't want to say anything. He didn't say anything that was like crazy or off the deep end. I just got scared. And when you listen to the episode or, and read the book, you'll see why. So I'm just going to go right into it. And I'd love to hear your comments. Here it is. &lt;i&gt;Twilight of the Shadow Government&lt;/i&gt; about the CIA."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Episode Description:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, former CIA officer Kevin Shipp sits with James Altucher to unravel secrets and operations that rarely see the light of day.

Ex-CIA officer Kevin Shipp reveals hidden operations, cover-ups, and the powerful reach of intelligence agencies in this eye-opening episode with James Altucher.

The CIA's Hidden Hand: Unmasking the Shadow Government & Deep State with Ex-CIA Officer Kevin Shipp

A Note from James:“Oh my gosh. What a podcast with Naveen Jain. I first had Naveen on in 2014 or 2015, and he remembered it perfectly. That conversation was so fun, I still remember it like it was yesterday. It’s crazy because I’ve done over 1,500 episodes, but that one stuck with me.Back then, we talked about Moon Express and his journey building rockets to the moon. Now, almost ten years later, Naveen has built several other companies, including Viome, which uses cutting-edge technology to analyze your microbiome and help people live longer healthier lives. Today, we’re talking about his new book, The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secrets to Longevity.At first, I’ll admit, I was tired of hearing about longevity—everyone seems to be saying the same thing—but Naveen has such a unique take on it. We got into everything: from the role of microbes in our health to fecal transplants (yes, really) and how bacteria can influence personality traits. It was fascinating. We even talked about how changing your microbiome could literally alter your personality.There’s so much in this episode that it’s going to blow your mind. I hope it’s not another ten years before we get Naveen back on the show. I’m definitely going to take him up on some of his suggestions, and maybe I’ll have some results to share in a few months. Here’s Naveen Jain.”<h3>Episode Description:</h3>In this episode, James Altucher is joined by serial entrepreneur Naveen Jain to explore the cutting-edge science of longevity, gut health, and human potential. Naveen, the founder of Viome and author of The Youth Formula, dives deep into how the microbiome shapes our health and even our personality. He explains why genes aren’t destiny, how microbes may play a more important role in our health than DNA, and what steps we can take to live longer healthier lives. James and Naveen also discuss the surprising science behind fecal transplants, the future of personalized nutrition, and why finding purpose might be the ultimate key to longevity.<h3>What You’ll Learn:</h3><ul><li>How the microbiome plays a crucial role in your overall health—and might even affect your personality.</li><li>Why DNA isn’t as important as you think when it comes to disease and longevity.</li><li>The latest research on fecal transplants and their impact on treating various diseases.</li><li>How personalized nutrition can help you optimize your health based on your unique biology.</li><li>The connection between purpose, community, and living a longer life.</li></ul><h3>Timestamped Chapters:</h3><ul><li>[01:30] Introduction: Reconnecting with Naveen Jain after 10 years</li><li>[02:44] The Youth Formula and Viome: Outsmarting your genes</li><li>[03:17] Microbiome’s role in health: 99.999% of your body is microbes</li><li>[04:02] Fecal transplants and personality: Can you inherit personality traits?</li><li>[06:00] Personalized nutrition: Why “healthy” food isn’t healthy for everyone</li><li>[12:00] The power of purpose: Why having a reason to live is crucial for longevity</li><li>[21:32] Changing the microbiome to treat disease: Fecal transplants and immunotherapy</li><li>[29:24] How microbiomes affect mental health: Serotonin and gut-brain connections</li><li>[39:51] The role of AI in personalized health recommendations at Viome</li><li>[46:00] Stress and the sympathetic/parasympathetic modes: Modern stressors vs. ancient survival instincts</li><li>[48:01] The role of exercise: Why 30-45 minutes of movement is enough</li><li>[49:00] Sleep and health: The importance of quality over quantity</li><li>[56:58] Entrepreneurial insights: Why a smooth life isn’t what you want as an entrepreneur</li><li>[58:07] Long-term vision: How Viome is focused on extending life by improving microbiome health</li><li>[65:00] Wrap-up: James’s thoughts on the future of health and Naveen’s closing remarks</li></ul><h3>Additional Resources:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Youth-Formula-Outsmart-Unlock-Longevity/dp/1636802931">The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secret to Longevity</a></li><li><a href="https://www.viome.com">Viome</a>: Learn more about personalized nutrition and microbiome analysis.</li><li><a href="https://www.naveenjain.com/">Naveen Jain's Official Website</a></li></ul>

How to Take Control of Your Health Beyond DNA Destinies with Naveen Jain

<h3>A Note from James:</h3>"I do think that the most important use case for AI is in extending our lifespans. And I think if this isn’t five or ten years in the future—this is right now. Things are happening in AI that are going to change healthcare overnight. Today, I’m continuing my discussion with Hamed Shahbazi, founder of Well Health. This is a publicly-traded company in Canada, and it’s already impacting millions of lives by applying AI to healthcare.HealWell, one of Hamed’s companies, has processed over 18 million patient records. With this data, their AI can analyze symptoms and assist with diagnosis and treatment options faster than ever. Imagine calling your doctor, and before you even see them, AI has already pieced together potential diagnoses and suggested next steps. This is how we extend lives—prevention is the best cure, after all.In this episode, Hamed and I talk about healthcare AI and how it’s poised to save millions of lives. I’ll be sharing updates on AI and healthcare companies doing interesting things in the next few months. So, listen in, subscribe, and let’s keep the conversation going.
