      <title>Can Policy Save America’s Aging Population? w/ Teresa Ghilarducci (Economist)</title>
      <description>What do today’s tax policies really mean for the future of Social Security and retirement? Economist Teresa Ghilarducci joins Josh to break down a wave of new proposals, including the Trump-backed MAGA accounts and tax cuts on tips and Social Security income. Together, they dig into what these changes signal for long-term economic stability, especially for working families and retirees.

The two  cover the unraveling crisis in long-term care, the decline of sustainable retirement plans, and how Medicaid struggles to fill the gaps. Teresa shares her perspective on the shift away from defined benefit pensions, the rise of 401ks, and why America’s aging population demands a new approach to policy.

      <description>Josh kicks off the live show with a breakdown of the latest market headlines, from tariff tensions to shaky investor sentiment, and shares why staying balanced in both mindset and portfolio choices is key during times of volatility. He explains how to keep perspective when the market gets noisy and why a steady approach often outperforms reactive moves.

Listeners call in with questions about the role of gold and silver during inflation, how to handle 401(k) transfers, when to use annuities, and whether Roth or traditional IRAs make more sense right now. Later in the show, Josh draws a parallel between smart investing and the NFL draft, showing how preparation and long-term thinking lead to better results.

      <title>The Story Behind Epstein and Private Equity’s Rise w/ William D. Cohan (Puck News)</title>
      <description>What do Jeffrey Epstein, private equity-owned insurance, and AI have in common? Josh sits down with bestselling author, co-founder of the media company Puck, and financial journalist William D. Cohan to unpack the forces shaping today’s financial landscape. Bill breaks down the rise of Apollo Global Management, its connections to controversial figures, and the risks that come with firms like Athene controlling massive swaths of retirement assets.

They dig into the structural flaws in private equity-backed insurers, the dangers of borrowing short and lending long, and how rising interest rates could expose cracks in the system. Josh and Bill also explore how AI is reshaping investment banking and journalism, and why the debate over intellectual property, automation, and job security is just getting started.

      <title>LIVE REACTION: Josh Breaks Down Powell’s Economic Outlook</title>
      <description>​Did Jerome Powell just shift the economic narrative? Josh reacts in real time to Powell’s April 15 remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago, breaking down his comments on inflation, tariffs, and the growing risks in private credit markets. He questions whether Powell’s outlook reflects neutral policy or political influence, especially in light of ongoing tension with former President Trump.​

Josh contrasts Powell’s inflation concerns with falling prices in areas like oil and groceries, challenges the Fed’s stance on tariffs, and examines the potential impact of unregulated private lending on future market stability. He also explores the growing friction between Powell and Trump, and what that could mean for future policy.​

      <title>Are Private Equity Firms Coming for Your Retirement? w/ Barry Dyke (Pirates of Manhattan)</title>
      <description>What’s really happening with private equity, and why does it matter for your retirement? Josh sits down with bestselling author and financial truth-teller Barry Dyke to unravel the hidden risks behind private equity firms taking over public assets, insurance companies, and even your retirement savings. Barry breaks down how firms like BlackRock are chasing profits through private equity deals, despite suffering massive losses like their $600 million flop with Altrity.
Josh &amp; Barry then get into how this profit-first mentality leaves regular investors exposed to unnecessary risks — and why Barry believes annuities could actually help fix America’s broken retirement system. The two lay out how other countries have built better retirements, why transparency matters more than ever, and why your financial security should never depend on Wall Street’s appetite for risky bets.

      <description>Are tariffs the key to reviving American industry or just another tax in disguise?

From fixed to variable to indexed annuities, he covers the different types, how insurance companies use them, and the key factors to watch out for—like fees, surrender charges, and payout structures. He also digs into why annuities can feel like a pension and whether they’re the right fit for retirement security or just another sales pitch.

      <title>How Global Events Are Impacting Your Finances Right Now w/ Jim Bianco (Bianco Research)</title>
      <description>How is immigration impacting the housing market? What should we expect from inflation in the coming years? In this episode, Josh welcomes Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research and widely respected macro strategist, to dive into these pressing financial questions. With Jim’s decades of experience in challenging traditional market views, this episode brings an insightful discussion on the real estate market, inflation, and central bank policies.

Josh and Jim Bianco challenge the mainstream view on inflation, with Jim making a compelling case for why it will be more persistent than expected, driven by key factors such as housing shortages and large-scale immigration. The two explore the implications of central bank policies, the risks tied to recent rate cuts, and the impact of global economic policies like those in China. We also take live callers who ask about the future of bonds, investment strategies, and whether the U.S. stock market can sustain its bullish trend amid rising interest rates and inflation concerns.

      <title>Ep 11 -  How to Protect Your Wealth from Silent Destroyers</title>
      <description>What hidden forces are silently chipping away at your financial health? In this episode, Josh  delves into the silent destroyers of wealth such as inflation, taxation, market fluctuations, and unpredictable life events. Using the vivid analogy of how mold can spoil fresh oranges, Jalinski explains how these factors can similarly erode your financial stability without warning.
Jalinski introduces "macro money management" as a strategy to combat these risks. This approach emphasizes viewing financial planning through a wider lens, taking into account the dynamic and unpredictable nature of financial markets and personal circumstances. He explains the use of a game board and rule book, managed by a "macro manager," to create a financial strategy that operates more like an orchestra than a solo act, ensuring all parts work in harmony. Josh underscores the importance of collaboration among various financial specialists—tax, legal, and investment advisors—to craft a robust and cohesive financial plan that may withstand both expected and unexpected challenges.

      <title>Dr. David Ranson's 2024 Financial Forecast: Oil, Gold, and Inflation</title>
      <description>Airdate: 02/10/2024
In this episode, Josh sits down with Dr. David Ranson, the renowned Chief Economist at HCWE, to dissect the dynamics of monetary policy, inflation, and the nuanced relationship between the money supply and economic growth. Contrary to traditional monetarist views, Dr. Ranson posits that inflation and economic vitality are not solely dictated by the quantity of money. He highlights the significant role of energy prices, especially oil, in shaping inflation trends and discusses the potential inflationary spike should oil prices stabilize at their natural levels.
The conversation delves into the Federal Reserve's limited influence over long-term interest rates, the enduring stability of the gold-to-price level ratio, and the implications of these factors for future economic conditions. Dr. Ranson and Josh also explore the impact of negative net national savings on capital investment and growth, offering a critical examination of fiscal and monetary policies' effectiveness in navigating these challenges.

      <title>FROM THE ARCHIVES: Wade Pfau Helps You Maximize Your Retirement Mileage</title>
      <description>Original Air Date: 10-21-17

In this  episode, Josh welcomed retirement researcher Wade Pfau to delve into his book, "How Much Can I Spend in Retirement? A Guide to Investment-Based Retirement Income Strategies." Pfau critiqued the traditional 4% rule as outdated due to the current low interest rates and market volatility, suggesting a more conservative 3% as a safer withdrawal rate. He underscored the importance of considering factors like longevity, lifestyle, legacy, and liquidity in retirement planning.
Pfau and Jalinski discussed alternative strategies such as time segmentation, which involves creating a bond ladder for immediate expenses while investing the rest for the future. They also explored the role of annuities in providing a reliable income stream and protection against longevity risk. The episode highlighted the value financial advisors bring through behavioral coaching, tax-efficient strategies, and risk management, emphasizing that good financial advice can significantly enhance retirement income.

      <title>FROM THE ARCHIVES:  Anthony Scaramucci on Capitalizing with a Conscience</title>
      <description>Original air date 05-25-2019﻿
In this episode, Josh welcomed Anthony Scaramucci to discuss the intricacies of the Opportunity Zone credit, a program aimed at incentivizing investments in economically distressed areas across the United States. Scaramucci broke down the benefits of deferring capital gains taxes and the potential for earning tax-free profits by investing in designated zones, while also addressing the slow progress and regulatory challenges that have hindered the program's full potential.
The conversation shifted to the broader political landscape, with Scaramucci sharing his insights on the then-upcoming 2020 election and the likelihood of an infrastructure deal in the prevailing political climate. He expressed frustration with the stagnation and polarization in politics, suggesting that an infrastructure deal might be the most feasible bipartisan effort. Throughout the episode, Jalinski and Scaramucci delved into various topics, including the success of Scaramucci's book "Trump, the Blue Collar President," the state of the China trade deal, and the importance of addressing human rights abuses in international relations.
As the episode concluded, Jalinski discussed the implications of including Chinese stocks in indexes and the moral issues that could be used to pressure China in trade negotiations. He also touched on the recent secure retirement bill passed by the House and its potential impact on retirement planning, particularly the "death of the stretch" provision.
