The Adam and Dr. Drew Show

Adam and Dr. Drew dive into government overreach and entitlement, arguing that not funding something isn't the same as denying access. They critique the shift toward a culture of dependency and the hypocrisy of those who once opposed paternalistic governance now enforcing it. Drew highlights how excessive regulation and misguided policies have eroded personal responsibility.

The conversation turns to political hypocrisy, with Adam questioning AOC's claims of systemic oppression despite her privileged education. They discuss the rise of "process people" who prioritize endless debate over real solutions, tying it to governance failures in cities like L.A. Adam shares a personal story about his coworker Jeff Gaines, who trained to be a firefighter but was denied due to race-based hiring, underscoring how misguided policies create more division than progress.

Transcript

Welcome to my poor black fungus turns up in my garden bouquets. Welcome to the previous week, you London Week 11, the double one we love. I cannot believe that we are popping up on week 11 in the in f l, I spent the week in Germany. But I want to say wow to a lot of that, y'all. We got a chance to call it a game with a four man boo boo. It was. It was fun. Got to travel over and be in Germany the whole week. And I enjoyed it. I really did enjoy it, you know, just seeing a different culture, seeing different people. It was a beautiful thing. It really was. Now now stupid me. Let me back up and tell you when I got up in that mode, right? I figured when I do first, take the shoe. First take it. Just fly right on over. I'll fly over that. Even sleep overnight on the plane. Wake up the next day. I should be cool. You know how they tell you when you land the next day that you got landed in Munich? They said, Still, don't go to sleep, don't go to sleep. That's an order for regular people. I'm good. I go, Get me a nap. You know what I mean? We got married now. I woke up. I had to go an appearance at a soccer game. I told you, these people here now, whenever we had to do something, we had to do to me. I was holding on to the guy the whole while he interviewed me at a soccer game and told them all that we were talking and we just talked and we talking and talking afterwards do that to me, said, Man, why were you holding to do the soccer dude? Why were you holding him so tight? Why are you holding so tight? It looked like to do is really trying to get away from me, and I work well. They've all come on back. All right. So long do decency here. Why were you holding him so tight? I said, Well. Being observed with me and I, I recognize that when I miss you, if it's here that look quite like mine in the stands and I needed them all to know that I come in peace. You seem to think that I came at me. So, so, so so we have fun with that man. We laugh about that. We had such a fun time. You know what I mean? It really was. It really was. It was great. But but then I got home that night. Oh. Who? What the hell did I do? Let me tell you something. Can people lie if you do that trip? You don't go to sleep? I thought I was different. I thought I can go to sleep, wake up, go to you to go back and book. We read, I can go back to sleep. I could not go back to sleep. I was tired. I was on the wall at two three four five six seven eight now, and I couldn't even get my mind off with some TV. You don't even know what they were saying on TV. Every channel they were talking about and told us that, Oh my god, it's right. I can't think I was going crazy. It really not. MacLeod called me when I finally got to sleep. I don't know. It was like 10:00 a.m. The next morning and I got down, got lots of sleep, but try to pop back up and work out. You know what I mean? Instead, still all day. Stay up all day there. Finally kind to try to get on track, man. But yeah, it was great. And we got a chance. Mutation, they had three million requests for those tickets. So you guys, I'm telling you right now they're going to have more game in Germany. They're going to have more than three million requests to those NFL own aren't going to let their money get away. It was an incredible thing and those people love football. I will put this up here. One of the most incredible scenes, honestly, I have ever seen in my life. After that football game. Nobody left the stadium. And I'm talking about nobody. I saw this on TV. But they have their stadium that full and all the players have left the field. And everybody stayed in that chair, and they were all singing karaoke, all American song Sweet Home Alabama. Do. Do I'm telling you, man, it was the wildest scene I'd ever seen anywhere I compare to? Like how we are joke we are of it, see? At the end of the third quarter, if you are up by five, we go, we've got to beat the traffic. The people were here, everybody had and left the field and they were still doing a wave thing, a sweet home Alabama. All Americans should not listen to what I'm saying. Sean not only left the building. No one said, I got to get out and get ahead in traffic. I ain't talking about until I'm telling you. Literally, literally not a one. Not one person left and they stayed there well after everybody left the field. They will all stay right. That was mind boggling. That was crazy. Why did you have my phone up while they were saying it? And I say, wow. And you could feel that. And it talks about things like that in great and great countries and cultures where people have a great belief and a great crowd of people like that is so powerful that they used to even heal people. He said I know that some long time ago, I can't even get into it, so I would just surface it right there. But I'm just talking about the power of that. Many people in one place, as the Bible says on one import and not one was thinking about, I try to get out of here. See, that's the key. Now one thing about I got to get out of here. Everybody was there for the moment. Go. One of the most powerful things I've ever felt, I will say that when I'm old and I'm telling you you would be here, you would have felt that I was like, This is incredible. That was that was incredible. And then after all of that. After all of that. That incredible thing, I get back to my hotel room. And I used to watch an incredible game because, you know, you only get one at a time, right? And we were the first game I called that game, so I got to watch that. I got to watch Tom Brady beat Dean, Gino, Gino, Geno Smith. I got Jim Spellman. I got to watch that. It was great to watch a sold Tom Brady to beat Geno Smith. And I got to talk to the guys in the past that they own this year by the time I got back to my room. I got to watch. Will only get to watch one game at a time, this time you can't get a whole bunch of games from the whole country. But I got to one game I want to watch right then. What a Minnesota Buffalo game. And boy, I got to watch that. Oh baby, ooh, oh, oh, let me just say it right there. It was simply the greatest catch I've ever seen in the history of the game. Make no mistake about it, you think it's better than the Odel catch? It was. The older kids were spectacular, spectacular, but when you put the circumstances in the situation in the press that filled the building of what it would be game on the line. And I'm going to you all about this with the game on the line, with the game on the line to go up and make that play. You know, when I say it, when they made that play, they got a chance now to go to a Super Bowl and do something super. It's not because they made that play. I see that it's why they made that play. I say that. Let me correct your craving for larger BrainGate. Let me correct Ukrainian fertilizer, Brian. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about right here. It's why they made their plate. I'm not seeing it because he made that plea. Alma, tell you something, I talked about this before when we lost that game in Washington and and we wanted to come in, you know, we had let me just give you the real deep down. We will get back on the plane to game. You know, some of us hitting us know some of the Genki drinking. So drink driving that's a little bottom up was the low bar, what are you supposed to do this and they are going to watch you in a film, tell you you can't do that. But good, Mr. Obama in now. Now we know we need to get a subsidy before we get to the bottom. So I want to give you a reference so you understand why this became such a pool for us. So we know you eat three a.m. five hours before the game and then you play the game and then we after we play the game, we want you to be like, if we need to get some food in our stomach before we are partaking in those sneaky, sneaky, you know, being sneaky. And so we love that game. Why did we have to play a game? It wouldn't matter the day we all put the food away. Nobody can eat. No, that became our rallying cry. Well, you know, we certainly give and we got no food and we eat all day a way to get a good dog, but we'll take it. We played a football game and we all a sneaky sneaky on the right. And that has to change. Ain't no telling how we you know the you know who's there. So we want make sure. So it was and we all got kind of, yeah, a lot of us got. And we talked about that through. So what a sneaky sneak. A little hard work within about eating and a long time. What we can't do that no more. You know, we feel too good even the next day, you know, we could get to what we need to get to. We feel. We got to be sure that don't happen again. So now we're getting a close game. I'd always come in there. He's coming to hold a block that they get tired, I say, Hey. So what's up, man? We let you speak for night. Are we going to eat or not? You know, not me. That's it. That's it, though that's all we know about all this. We will be able to drink out the good. We eat well. We need to eat. Let's make sure we do this so we can have a good day. And then we would always go to another level and win the game. And I'm telling you it was our little rally cry. We will play, you know what I mean? Because what we're all looking for? Think about it now. Well, we're all in for is that one super moment on the plane back? That makes us boys go. We will all have this next meeting. Have a good. We, the one he gave were all this by sneezing and having a good time. We were in the game. We're all if that becomes your hook, that becomes your hook. Minnesota has that hook. They started and I asked him about it. We're just put the chain on Kirk Cousins to put them chain on Kirkuk, and I told all the US in LA something like that right there, right there. The only way they won the game in Buffalo is because it is cool to go and get a caught in 18 unless they have this hook in their mind. That's why he made the plea. He made the plea because of what their build them policy. Man, come on, man. Are we going to have to go to them? Because then Kirk cousins enough that becomes them. We're going to put them on Kirk Cousins. And if we can make any play because we don't help our fun time when we get back on that airplane? I guarantee you. That's the only way you will in a possible gain, what I call the craziest game I've ever seen. Like the one against Buffalo. That's the only way. And that hook, that hook. That hook that can do everything. What's up, everybody? I'm hosting a new podcast, No Mercy, with Stephen A. Smith, that's no spelled K. W Mercy.

That's Geico Geico. Now watch how on what we do this year, I'll call it a message. Listen what I'm telling you. I'm telling you about the hook. What happened in Germany and how so many people in one place on one accord were so powerful? I'm telling you about a look within our football team. How does one thing it was all having a good time were so all of us been in one place and only one poor was so proud. And I'm telling you now that Minnesota has that same walk and that one thing what about is going to be in one place and one, of course, that is so powerful, not just talk it out, my head. When I told you, I'm cracker cranium fertilizer brains that I am doing, I'm sure you are who we it, we go now. Because great things will always happen when you get enough people in one place and on one accord, great things will always happen. I just don't see those great things happen with my Dallas Cowboys. Right now, anything they can. But back to back 200 yards rushing. To give up that right there. And I'm going to break this down for you guys. I see me talking as long, but but I got time this. Well, yeah, I got time now, so I just made the free time, but we'll give you all the I would give it all to you in it with you. I scared you when I have a little time. So let me tell you why I'm talking about what I see with the Cowboys is so devastating that it irks me in what I'm worried about it. And we could talk about these rushing defenses. We are talking that form you would talk about would look as Cowboys Nation will say, Well, Philly is having the same problem. Look at what Philly gave up to Washington. That's not true. That's not true. Washington ran Philadelphia. The dominate time of possession. Oh, the ball from the Eagles offense, and they've accomplished that in the Eagles contributed with those turnover more turnovers in one game. The neighborhood, then they had a whole season. So my see, their blueprint is not a blueprint, because Philadelphia always help you. It's like that, so just stop that, you know, saying even if you can run the ball killing, we give, you know, three turnovers, you know? So there's no slippage. You can't make a blueprint by asking somebody to be playing bad all the time. A blueprint has to be a plan that you came up with that you can win even when they're playing at their best. That's why they call it a blueprint. I wanted to break that down. This is the. Let me get back to what I'm talking about. The Eagles had lost the game because they were running the ball to possess the time. The Cowboys lost that game with a team rushing the ball to kick your a*s. Oh. You mean the team you mean, show me a gene to run the ball and run me down? Are you supposed to be working for me? If at 14 and you're running the ball, you're walking the club for me. Do you not see what I'm saying here? It's a bit of planning for a job, whatever it is. I mean. Well, somebody could be down about 14 and run the ball and catch up. We have more time on my hands or just go a little deeper. But that's a different it's a different thing. They were running. They were running on top of the game. WASHINGTON Washington was running on top of the game on top of the game. They were in front of Philadelphia, controlling the clock, forcing Philadelphia to make mistakes. They won that way. We were 14 points up. Fourteen points up. And they ran us down rushing the football. The whole idea you went to office to jump out and put up 21 points is to break the will of other teams so they can become one dimensional and start running a football and stop running football and throw a football and make a mistake so you can get opportunity. If they've got to stop running the football, how we have to make them one dimensional. And that being a past look at being a looking good pass, let's get do it or do you see the kind of problem I'm talking about is big, but I'm a star told about right to go on everybody. I no, that's a out out Campbell, this Agadir owner free. But I want to see this. I'm speaking on that. Cowboys. Packers game. I'm not giving this on frigo, this thing, they don't have Roger's great. This is crazy, man. Well, I just came by. I was worried about the man who beat the Cowboys. Yeah, because it was that kind of game. It was the only win win for the Gipper, and the Gipper happened to be this. Lombardi and A-Rod just wanted to be his own head coach. And they all played out of their minds. That was a tough environment in Kabul. I hate that they wasn't ready to go in there and take it and then turn around and let Tennessee go right it, I take it and put it on and you know what I'm saying and doing the same thing running the football. But what I like to calibrate make some plays to young fans started start to make some plays out of Tennessee. That's going to be crazy if they can get them going. That'd be interesting, we're being getting more, but, but but not. Out of all of that, this air Rogers thing is bothering me. At all, the cowboy stuff will tell you how to cowboys a losing game, then people catch up, run the football. It's just a bad thing. But but this and I just hope this blows my mind. Oh hello, Mrs. I want you to read that article for Michelle. And I told you this. I told you this was Connor. I told you this was coming when I had my own conspiracy theory thinking what was going on in Green Bay? Now let's talk about how this will grow. Let's get to the article you said you are sure you had our football talk, right? Yes. Article They're basically highlighting the fact that Aaron Rodgers is gone six games without capping 300 yards. The air Rogers has gone six games without Cap 300, young boy, that would make it sound like, Oh, and then what if they didn't he talk some more about some of the other players, the far left and right? Yeah, then they're trying to put it in context. Let's you know just how bad it looks. And they're saying great quarterbacks don't just go without 300 yards. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have had eight 300 yard games since his last one, and even the bad quarterbacks, quote unquote bad quarterbacks. Davis Mills has had three. Carson Wentz has had three. Joe Flacco has had to and then Josh Johnson, P.J. Walker and Zach Wilson have also had a 300 yard game more recently than Rodgers. And then they, you know, go on to show all the people on social media and Twitter specifically kind of going off how, you know, maybe it's time to get rid of Aaron Rodgers, who is blowing my mind as well as well. I will always have a job. Because I just I can't let Joe fall for his rocky dokey, bulky. I don't know what to call this, even though hope Hokkaido yoga this. This is a whole different. Whatever name the rope-a-dope is insane. No rope, a dope, dope. No way out there is way out there. The reading of your article? Let's break it up. It says Serena Rogers. Is washed up. No, good, not no, no better. The endgame is the meal and the worst people. Yeah, oh my God. He just can't play. That's that's what this thing is, says, you know, not only is it bad, it's worse than the bad. Yeah, it's worse than bad. Some of the worst ever over the last 16 games. Let me tell you what else have come in over the last 16 games sit, you know, it's now in 17 games. But I'm telling you it's. So eight games in eight games, we are to surmise. The Ray Rogers has fallen below even those names again, Davis Mills. David Mills, Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz, Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco, Josh Johnson, P.J. Walker and Zach Wilson. Oh my god, you guys, this is this is you do this. We ought to believe in eight game air. Rogers has surmised that kind of a falling. That kind of a follow, because now what he's telling you over the last 16 days, let me tell you it wasn't it? That's right. That's right. It's not like you want any of being right. He knew it was the last time you want to be. How long was it? About 10 and a half games ago? Oh, that's right. And then he won the MVP before that. And you people go for it. How did that happen, man? Honestly, fantasy football, I think you blame fantasy football for that. Everything is so stats driven and so stats centric that you know, hey, if he's not open 300 yards, then you know, he's not good anymore. You're just mad. You got to know all of that stuff may be true. When they say numbers never lie and I say, yes, they do, because all of that is true. All of that is true. But we are put in a place where putting the blame in the wrong place. And Rogers had deteriorated to that space. What you put around and Rogers has deteriorated to that space in the article. Don't point to that. The article would have you believe it is time for the Packers to move on from Aaron when the reality is the Packers should have been moving on from is putting that stuff around, you know? Aaron Rodgers took little before Devonte Adams. He took the I'm he wasn't a top drawer tour, it's hurting him in his relationship with the V.A. and into one of the greatest. I don't see the president saying that the bill would allow Joe Montana. Jay writes and says It's up there with those guys. That's what they look like the last couple of years. He had it back back in BP. I refuse to believe I don't care how well you write and I don't care. Buddy, you write up with. Who you're talking with to tell you the wreck isn't perpetuate this kind of myths by Aaron Rodgers has fallen off because that's simply not the truth. That's simply not true. And that's that's what I call the persuading you. Instead of edifying you, the persuade you they want to give you their thoughts. And I don't know what all comes with their thought. But the reality you I say Aaron Rodgers is below Davis Mills. Carson Wentz APJ. Well, you can't say it. But yet, the way it's written, that's what it says. Yeah, you're right. They are like displaying this framework of stats that's making you believe or take you to believe that he's doing worse than all of them. But yeah, you're right. Like, because if it's the last 16 games we're talking about, well, six of those games were last year, and two of those in those six games are attributed to him winning an MVP. So a can you really count those games of him not hitting 300 yards? I mean, he didn't hit 300 yards. So yeah, it's still correct. He didn't hit 300 yards, but but he won games and that got them to a conference championship and eventually it culminated in a conference championship appearance and and an MVP. You pull something from such a great moment, a high moment. To find a way to place it in a low moment, see, I call it. Targeting people there, because you you may be right if you want to start with the season this season, but you can't go poor six games off a back to back MVP and use it as a OK, he's been deteriorating, so it might make me like, I better stop, man. All these people come after me. What are they doing? Listen, they got enough that though. It's just exactly how stats can lead you awry and how it doesn't really actually equate to anything. It's just like what it was. You know, that's just how many yards it equated to in that game. You know, it doesn't doesn't really mean anything. You mean something, but it doesn't, you know, you shouldn't be really making all of your decisions based off of it. But then Rogers is about to lose all 19 years. Have you ever played for because now the writing is going to be this written this way and people are into this is the Rodgers washed up, washed up, and they try to perpetuate Danny and Rodgers in his career with the team. Or maybe, like I told you all before, why she turned out to be Joe Biden. I'm just saying, I know now it does seem like both of them have been trying to, like, campaign his way out of town like this whole thing in the off season with him. And, you know, they don't listen to me. And then now, like what we've been seeing with them, not drafting anything for him or putting anything around not only not draft not only not drafted doubled down. That's why I called him out right before the trade deadline and he doubled down. We're still a mood. Oh, OK, really going on sale for fate? We're not it up another fourth round draft pick or another 50 round draft pick. We're going to go first. So, so, so that's the difference. And it's it's fascinating and I guarantee you they they they they made a great connection. They brought to them and then they didn't hold on to Devonte and get through the day. I don't think they expected them to become that great. And then when they did become that great, they said we got to get rid of it, Joe. Well, that's what I keep saying. It's a conspiracy theory going out in Green Bay because I got that theory right there about that conspiracy over there. How can you talk about a black bag man already being done? You, Lou? He loses his main man. Now. I won't tell you one thing. So one thing to do with did mention is. In that Packer game. Mike McCarthy, you've got to put that personal joke aside. I thought that was a little personal. I want to win the game. Be overly aggressive in my game and my return to Lambeau because I wanted to bowl here. No, it's not enough. Wasn't for gra*s. You kicked that damn ball, you kicked the ball. I just want to close it out. I didn't know well that you kicked that ball and then you kicked off and you make this struggling offense where I lost our games in a row drop for a field goal against, you know what your defense would have done was fun. The man inside a man asked This joker come make get them up there. Then the game. That's what you would hope. Well, I know you would be among them will be well being. I got a movie here. They took the blood to outmuscle and Rogers. But I tell you what. You won't come up one a day. Where you go in here, especially with the way they're playing right now. The Minnesota Vikings took Justin Jefferson from Kirkwood. Not the way they plan to go now after that fourth 18 the other day, you were not here this day that they say just in general, there is going to be taken away from because they know they got a shot with those two together. And that's what Dallas has to stop this week. Bar No. Bar none. How are we doing with it? I'm worried about those two work there. And I'm worried about Dalvin Cook. This is back to back same office. They're going to see it two times in a row. I need to see what they're going to learn, what they're running in Green Bay. It's the same thing they're running in with the rain. I'm saying, thank you. I'll come running remote. So he came all from the same tree. They are cut, all from the same cloth. So now you get a genius. You get two weeks to work on the same office. You got to be better. You got to be better. It's just it's just now now the whole lot Typekit talks about, well, you know, this has pretty good games against. Again, just in just. Yeah. Not this just injures. Oh, you know, not not this come and not put me in in this offense. You see, you had a more understanding on some of the things they were doing before. Now he's doing a whole lot of different stuff. So you got to pack your bags and come with a whole lot of different outfits. So that's going to be a different game is going until it's going to be a different game of the Cowboys got any shot. What we thought the defense was prior two weeks ago. They got to be that, don't you know what I mean, that dominante de faire Michael Paulson had been making plays all over the field cannot just sit idly by. That's what got to happen this week, man. I can tell you I know what's going to happen. I just thought, my son, you it. I must say. Dallas The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to play the best team in Europe. And I was sitting here. That's the Minnesota Vikings right now. It's true. The Eagles lost last week the Vikings on a win streak in their winning a close game. That same book that I told you about the same well. They are playing the best team in the NFL this Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys do the negative turn around. And play again before games. Scary. But when people tell you if you ever face your fears, right on the other side of scary can be so scary success. This right here. Downs has an opportune opportunity for some skier is success. Green Bay just crawled all up the media aboard for beating you, Dallas. Imagine the board, you can crawl up what we know are so. Imagine the boy you can crawl up. We're all jockeying for position where you want to be because you're playing the best team in the player. The people don't want to hear, but it is prison yard mentality. If you're a bad man, let me beat your a*s. And I'm the bad mayor. I don't run in the whole prison yard. Can you beat a prison yard mentality Dallas out and run the damn yard? I'll see you next week.

Notes from James:

I?ve been seeing a ton of misinformation lately about tariffs and inflation, so I had to set the record straight. People assume tariffs drive prices up across the board, but that?s just not how economics works. Inflation happens when money is printed, not when certain goods have price adjustments due to trade policies.

I explain why the current tariffs aren?t a repeat of the Great Depression-era Smoot-Hawley Tariff, how Trump is using them more strategically, and what it all means for the economy. Also, a personal story: my wife?s Cybertruck got keyed in a grocery store parking lot?just for being a Tesla. I get into why people?s hatred for Elon Musk is getting out of control.

Let me know what you think?and if you learned something new, share this episode with a friend (or send it to an Econ professor who still doesn?t get it).

Episode Description:

James is fired up?and for good reason. People are screaming that tariffs cause inflation, pointing fingers at history like the Smoot-Hawley disaster, but James says, ?Hold up?that?s a myth!?

Are tariffs really bad for the economy? Do they actually cause inflation? Or is this just another economic myth that people repeat without understanding the facts?

In this episode, I break down the truth about tariffs?what they really do, how they impact prices, and why the argument that tariffs automatically cause inflation is completely wrong. I also dive into Trump's new tariff policies, the history of U.S. tariffs (hint: they used to fund almost the entire government), and why modern tariffs might be more strategic than ever.

If you?ve ever heard that ?tariffs are bad? and wanted to know if that?s actually true?or if you just want to understand how trade policies impact your daily life?this is the episode for you.

Notes from James:

What if I told you that we could eliminate the IRS, get rid of personal income taxes completely, and still keep the government funded? Sounds impossible, right? Well, not only is it possible, but historical precedent shows it has been done before.

I know what you?re thinking?this sounds insane. But bear with me. The IRS collects $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes each year. But what if we could replace that with a national sales tax that adjusts based on what you buy?

Under my plan:

  • Necessities (food, rent, utilities) 5% tax
  • Standard goods (clothes, furniture, tech) 15% tax
  • Luxury goods (yachts, private jets, Rolls Royces) 50% tax

And boom?we don?t need personal income taxes anymore! You keep 100% of what you make, the economy booms, and the government still gets funded.

This episode is a deep dive into how this could work, why it?s better than a flat tax, and why no one in government will actually do this (but should). Let me know what you think?and if you agree, share this with a friend (or send it to Trump).

Episode Description:

What if you never had to pay personal income taxes again? In this mind-bending episode of The James Altucher Show, James tackles a radical idea buzzing from Trump, Elon Musk, and Howard Lutnick: eliminating the IRS. With $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes on the line, is it even possible? James says yes?and he?s got a plan.

Digging into history, economics, and a little-known concept called ?money velocity,? James breaks down how the U.S. thrived in the 1800s without income taxes, relying on tariffs and ?vice taxes? on liquor and tobacco. Fast forward to today: the government rakes in $4.9 trillion annually, but spends $6.7 trillion, leaving a gaping deficit. So how do you ditch the IRS without sinking the ship?

James unveils his bold solution: a progressive national sales tax?5% on necessities like food, 15% on everyday goods like clothes, and a hefty 50% on luxury items like yachts and Rolls Royces. Seniors and those on Social Security? They?d pay nothing. The result? The government still nets $2.5 trillion, the economy grows by $3.7 trillion thanks to unleashed consumer spending, and you keep more of your hard-earned cash. No audits, no accountants, just taxes at the cash register.

From debunking inflation fears to explaining why this could shrink the $36 trillion national debt, James makes a compelling case for a tax revolution. He even teases future episodes on tariffs and why a little debt might not be the enemy. Whether you?re a skeptic or ready to tweet this to Trump, this episode will change how you see taxes?and the economy?forever.

What You?ll Learn:

  • The history of taxes in America?and how the country thrived without an income tax in the 1800s
  • Why the IRS exists and how it raises $2.5 trillion in personal income taxes every year
  • How eliminating income taxes would boost the economy by $3.75 trillion annually
  • My radical solution: a progressive national sales tax?and how it works
  • Why this plan would actually put more money in your pocket
  • Would prices skyrocket? No. Here?s why.

A note from James:

I love digging into topics that make us question everything we thought we knew. Fort Knox is one of those legendary places we just assume is full of gold, but has anyone really checked? The fact that Musk even brought this up made me wonder?why does the U.S. still hold onto all that gold when our money isn?t backed by it anymore? And what if the answer is: it?s not there at all?

This episode is a deep dive into the myths and realities of money, gold, and how the economy really works. Let me know what you think?and if you learned something new, share this episode with a friend!

Episode Description:

Elon Musk just sent Twitter into a frenzy with a single tweet: "Looking for the gold at Fort Knox." It got me thinking?what if the gold isn?t actually there? And if it?s not, what does that mean for the U.S. economy and the future of money?

In this episode, I?m breaking down the real story behind Fort Knox, why the U.S. ditched the gold standard, and what it would mean if the gold is missing. I?ll walk you through the origins of paper money, Nixon?s decision to decouple the dollar from gold in 1971, and why Bitcoin might be the modern version of digital gold. Plus, I?ll explore whether the U.S. should just sell off its gold reserves and what that would mean for inflation, the economy, and the national debt.

If you?ve ever wondered how money really works, why the U.S. keeps printing trillions, or why people still think gold has value, this is an episode you don?t want to miss.

What You?ll Learn:

  •  The shocking history of the U.S. gold standard and why Nixon ended it in 1971
  •  How much gold is supposed to be in Fort Knox?and why it might not be there
  •  Why Elon Musk and Bitcoin billionaires like Michael Saylor are questioning the gold supply
  •  Could the U.S. actually sell its gold reserves? And should we?
  •  Why gold?s real-world use is questionable?and how Bitcoin could replace it
  •  The surprising economics behind why we?re getting rid of the penny

A Note from James:

You know what drives me crazy? When people say, "I have to build a personal brand." Usually, when something has a brand, like Coca-Cola, you think of a tasty, satisfying drink on a hot day. But really, a brand is a lie?it's the difference between perception and reality. Coca-Cola is just a sugary brown drink that's unhealthy for you. So what does it mean to have a personal brand?

I discussed this with Nick Singh, and we also talked about retirement?what?s your number? How much do you need to retire? And how do you build to that number? Plus, we covered how to achieve success in today's world and so much more. This is one of the best interviews I've ever done. Nick?s podcast is My First Exit, and I wanted to share this conversation with you.

Episode Description:

In this episode, James shares a special feed drop from My First Exit with Nick Singh and Omid Kazravan. Together, they explore the myths of personal branding, the real meaning of success, and the crucial question: ?What's your number?? for retirement. Nick, Omid, and James unpack what it takes to thrive creatively and financially in today's landscape. They discuss the value of following curiosity, how to niche effectively without losing authenticity, and why intersecting skills might be more powerful than single mastery.

What You?ll Learn:

  • Why the idea of a "personal brand" can be misleading?and what truly matters instead.
  • How to define your "number" for retirement and why it changes over time.
  • The difference between making money, keeping money, and growing money.
  • Why intersecting skills can create unique value and career opportunities.
  • The role of curiosity and experimentation in building a fulfilling career.

A Note from James:

I've done about a dozen podcasts in the past few years about anti-aging and longevity?how to live to be 10,000 years old or whatever. Some great episodes with Brian Johnson (who spends $2 million a year trying to reverse his aging), David Sinclair (author of Lifespan and one of the top scientists researching aging), and even Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis, who co-wrote Life Force. But Peter just did something incredible.

He wrote The Longevity Guidebook, which is basically the ultimate summary of everything we know about anti-aging. If he hadn?t done it, I was tempted to, but he knows everything there is to know on the subject. He?s even sponsoring a $101 million XPRIZE for reversing aging, with 600 teams competing, so he has direct insight into the best, cutting-edge research.

In this episode, we break down longevity strategies into three categories: common sense (stuff you already know), unconventional methods (less obvious but promising), and the future (what?s coming next). And honestly, some of it is wild?like whether we can reach "escape velocity," where science extends life faster than we age.

Peter?s book lays out exactly what?s possible, what we can do today, and what?s coming. So let?s get into it.

Episode Description:

Peter Diamandis joins James to talk about the future of human longevity. With advancements in AI, biotech, and medicine, Peter believes we're on the verge of a health revolution that could drastically extend our lifespans. He shares insights from his latest book, The Longevity Guidebook, and discusses why mindset plays a critical role in aging well.

They also discuss cutting-edge developments like whole-body scans for early disease detection, upcoming longevity treatments, and how AI is accelerating medical breakthroughs. Peter even talks about his $101 million XPRIZE for reversing aging, with over 600 teams competing.

If you want to live longer and healthier, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.

What You?ll Learn:

  • Why mindset is a crucial factor in longevity and health
  • The latest advancements in early disease detection and preventative medicine
  • How AI and biotech are accelerating anti-aging breakthroughs
  • What the $101 million XPRIZE is doing to push longevity science forward

A Note from James:

"I have been dying to understand quantum computing. And listen, I majored in computer science. I went to graduate school for computer science. I was a computer scientist for many years. I?ve taken apart and put together conventional computers. But for a long time, I kept reading articles about quantum computing, and it?s like magic?it can do anything. Or so they say.

Quantum computing doesn?t follow the conventional ways of understanding computers. It?s a completely different paradigm. So, I invited two friends of mine, Nick Newton and Gavin Brennan, to help me get it. Nick is the COO and co-founder of BTQ Technologies, a company addressing quantum security issues. Gavin is a top quantum physicist working with BTQ. They walked me through the basics: what quantum computing is, when it?ll be useful, and why it?s already a security issue.

You?ll hear me asking dumb questions?and they were incredibly patient. Pay attention! Quantum computing will change everything, and it?s important to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead. Here?s Nick and Gavin to explain it all."

Episode Description:

Quantum computing is a game-changer in technology?but how does it work, and why should we care? In this episode, James is joined by Nick Newton, COO of BTQ Technologies, and quantum physicist Gavin Brennan to break down the fundamentals of quantum computing. They discuss its practical applications, its limitations, and the looming security risks that come with it. From the basics of qubits and superposition to the urgent need for post-quantum cryptography, this conversation simplifies one of the most complex topics of our time.

What You?ll Learn:

  1. The basics of quantum computing: what qubits are and how superposition works.
  2. Why quantum computers are different from classical computers?and why scaling them is so challenging.
  3. How quantum computing could potentially break current encryption methods.
  4. The importance of post-quantum cryptography and how companies like BTQ are preparing for a quantum future.

A Note from James:

So we have a brand new president of the United States, and of course, everyone has their opinion about whether President Trump has been good or bad, will be good and bad. Everyone has their opinion about Biden, Obama, and so on. But what makes someone a good president? What makes someone a bad president?

Obviously, we want our presidents to be moral and ethical, and we want them to be as transparent as possible with the citizens. Sometimes they can't be totally transparent?negotiations, economic policies, and so on. But we want our presidents to have courage without taking too many risks. And, of course, we want the country to grow economically, though that doesn't always happen because of one person.

I saw this list where historians ranked all the presidents from 1 to 47. I want to comment on it and share my take on who I think are the best and worst presidents. Some of my picks might surprise you.

Episode Description:

In this episode, James breaks down the rankings of U.S. presidents and offers his unique perspective on who truly deserves a spot in the top 10?and who doesn?t. Looking beyond the conventional wisdom of historians, he examines the impact of leadership styles, key decisions, and constitutional powers to determine which presidents left a lasting, positive impact. From Abraham Lincoln's crisis leadership to the underappreciated successes of James K. Polk and Calvin Coolidge, James challenges popular rankings and provides insights you won't hear elsewhere.

What You?ll Learn:

  • The key qualities that define a great president beyond just popularity.
  • Why Abraham Lincoln is widely regarded as the best president?and whether James agrees.
  • How Franklin D. Roosevelt?s policies might have extended the Great Depression.
  • The surprising president who expanded the U.S. more than anyone else.
  • Why Woodrow Wilson might actually be one of the worst presidents in history.

A Note from James:

Probably no president has fascinated this country and our history as much as John F. Kennedy, JFK. Everyone who lived through it remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated. He's considered the golden boy of American politics. But I didn't know this amazing conspiracy that was happening right before JFK took office.

Best-selling thriller writer Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite writers, breaks it all down. He just wrote a book called The JFK Conspiracy. I highly recommend it. And we talk about it right here on the show.

Episode Description:

Brad Meltzer returns to the show to reveal one of the craziest untold stories about JFK: the first assassination attempt before he even took office. In his new book, The JFK Conspiracy, Brad dives into the little-known plot by Richard Pavlik, a disgruntled former postal worker with a car rigged to explode.

What saved JFK?s life that day? Why does this story remain a footnote in history? Brad shares riveting details, the forgotten man who thwarted the plot, and how this story illuminates America?s deeper fears. We also explore the legacy of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, from heroism to scandal, and how their "Camelot" has shaped the presidency ever since.

What You?ll Learn:

  1. The true story of JFK?s first assassination attempt in 1960.
  2. How Brad Meltzer uncovered one of the most bizarre historical footnotes about JFK.
  3. The untold role of Richard Pavlik in plotting to kill JFK and what stopped him.
  4. Why Jackie Kennedy coined the term "Camelot" and shaped JFK?s legacy.
  5. Parallels between the 1960 election and today?s polarized political climate.
