Jason welcomes, financial expert Barry James Dyke as he discusses his research into the systematic corruption and &quot;rent-seeking&quot; behaviors of Wall Street institutions. He highlights how major asset managers like&amp;nbsp;BlackRock&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Goldman Sachs&amp;nbsp;prioritize their own profits and bonuses through high fees and taxpayer-funded bailouts, even when their clients suffer significant losses. Dyke critiques modern financial vehicles like&amp;nbsp;401(k)s&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;ESG investing, labeling them as deceptive marketing tools that lack transparency and genuine security for the middle class. To combat this &quot;organized crime,&quot; he advocates for&amp;nbsp;personal financial discipline, the use of specialized insurance products for capital growth, and the shift toward becoming a&amp;nbsp;direct owner of assets. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a warning against a debt-based system designed to transfer wealth from the public to a small group of&amp;nbsp;financial elites. &amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways:  0:00 Bullies of Wall Street and 'rent seeking' and 'regulatory capture'  8:02 What can people do about this  10:26 Blackrock  16:26 Lou Dobbs and how everything has become a scam  23:02 Action plan #PiratesOfManhattan #WallStreetCorruption #RentSeeking #BlackRock #PrivateCredit #CarriedInterest #CronyCapitalism #WealthBuilding #CapitalFormation #WallStreetBullies &amp;nbsp;_______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM &amp;amp; LINKEDIN  Twitter.com\/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com\/jasonhartman1\/  Linkedin.com\/in\/jasonhartmaninvestor\/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.jasonhartman.com\/ Free Class: &amp;nbsp;Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else:&amp;nbsp;http:\/\/JasonHartman.com\/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes &amp;amp; Estate Planning: http:\/\/JasonHartman.com\/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business \u2013 Free Course:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.jasonhartman.com\/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https:\/\/JasonHartman.com\/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing:  https:\/\/www.PandemicInvesting.com ","author_name":"Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman","author_url":"http:\/\/www.jasonhartman.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41064190\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/201324710"}
