What happens when Trump desecrates a painting of Jesus? Billionaires line up to buy it. At a Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party, Trump signs a painting of Christ—offering a very public glimpse at how faith, money, and power now intersect. From there, it's a week of religion doing what it does best: embarrassing itself in public. A failed doomsday prophet in Ghana finds out there are consequences when the apocalypse doesn't show up, Iran's theocratic regime faces mass protests fueled by hunger and economic collapse, and conservatives melt down after New York City's new mayor commits the ultimate sin—taking his oath of office on the "wrong" holy book. Plus, Marjorie Taylor Greene stumbles into a moment of clarity about Trump's faith, Chick-fil-A makes things awkward again, and we ask—once more—what any of this is actually doing to the country.

Recent polling confirms what you'd hear if you talked to people at most any Chat & Chew Café across America – namely, our political system is broken.In fact, nearly all of us feel that way. While people strongly believe that representative democracy is the best system, they can plainly see that what we have today is neither democracy nor representative. Washington and most state governments routinely enact policies and budgets benefitting über-rich political donors, while cutting programs that regular people want and need.It's not just that the system is failing to do what grassroots America wants done, while doing what most people oppose, but that the insiders in charge, whether Republican or Democrat, don't listen… or really care.At the core of this dangerous disconnect is the fact that our highly-touted democratic ambitions have devolved into a moneyed autocracy, a self-perpetuating political system operating independent of the popular will. The issue of all 2026 issues is this: Money rules. Very Big Money, mostly anti-democracy, billionaire money.Trump, Congress, the courts, governors – and especially the billionaires – know this. They wink at it, rely on it, and even cynically proclaim that giving and receiving unlimited, secret, political money is the new coin of democratic policy making – even superior to winning electoral votes.Now, however, We the People are also clearly seeing this perversion of our fundamental democratic ideals and rights. Some 80 percent of Americans (including 72% of Republicans) say people who donate to campaigns have too much influence. Our job in 2026 is to confront the billionaire corrupters and political takers head-on, turning people's rising awareness and anger into “little-d” democratic action.Do something!To fight the influence of big money in politics, check out these organizations' work:* Public Citizen* Our Revolution* Common Cause* Brennan Center* Move to AmendJim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

If you've ever wondered why certain moments bring you to your knees before lifting you higher than you ever imagined, this conversation is one you won't forget. Today, I sit down with my dear friend Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret, whose work has reshaped how millions of us understand our thoughts, emotions, and power to create. Rhonda's work changed my life in the most profound ways, and I love welcoming her back for a refresher, especially as we kick off a new year and get ready to step into the abundant energy of the Fire Horse in February. In this episode, we discuss her brand-new book, Countdown to Riches, where Rhonda reveals the wealth practices that transformed her relationship with money. She shares the exact tools she relied on during periods of intense financial pressure — practices that helped her move from scarcity and survival into trust, flow, and unfathomable abundance. Throughout the episode, Rhonda opens up about the techniques that carried her through profound emotional challenges, including depression. She explains how she created a game that turned outgoing expenses into “incoming money,” and the miracles that followed. We also discuss how welcoming intense and all-consuming emotions can dissolve them, and why gratitude is one of the fastest ways to lift your frequency and change your life. This episode is filled with heart, humility, honesty, and practical magic. Rhonda brings clarity to concepts we've all heard but may not yet fully believe and embody — and reminds us who we truly are beneath fear, conditioning, and resistance. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Bob Fraser, bestselling author of Invest Like a Billionaire and CFO and Chief Macro Strategist at Aspen Funds. Bob shares how billionaire investors moved away from traditional 60/40 portfolios toward alternative investments—and why everyday investors can adopt the same mindset without billionaire-level wealth. Throughout the conversation, Bob explains why professionally managed real estate is often the most approachable entry point into alternatives, especially for investors who want exposure without taking on a second full-time job. He and Jonathan explore the differences between active and passive investing, the importance of aligned partnerships, and why many investors underestimate the operational demands of being a landlord. The discussion then dives deep into macro-driven investing, with Bob outlining why industrial real estate stands out today due to reshoring trends, logistics demand, and lower construction and operational complexity compared to multifamily. Bob also explains why fund structures can be more efficient than single-asset syndications, offering better capital deployment, diversification, and investor control—especially around taxes and liquidity. In this episode, you will hear: Why billionaires shifted away from traditional portfolios toward alternatives How everyday investors can think like billionaires without massive capital The difference between active real estate and truly passive investing Why industrial real estate is outperforming multifamily in the current cycle How fund structures can improve diversification, tax efficiency, and liquidity What macro trends Bob looks for when evaluating alternative investments Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

When billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife Honey were found dead in their mansion, bodies staged in a bizarre manner, police initially believed the deaths were the result of a murder/suicide. After pushback from the Sherman family Toronto police came to the conclusion that the couple had been brutally murdered.  The investigation into their deaths has been extensive but the murders remain unsolved. Despite numerous leads and a $35 million reward offered by their family for information leading to an arrest, no suspects have been charged. Over the years various theories have emerged regarding the motive and potential suspects, ranging from business-related conflicts to family disputes. The couple's wealth and Barry's aggressive business practices may have created enemies, leading to speculation about possible motives for the murders.    Sources: Donovan, K. (n.d.).

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered what it really takes to turn a dream into reality, and sustain it with grit and determination, you've got to hear this episode!  Maria is with the one and only Anastasia Soare, iconic founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills and author of her new memoir Raising Brows, for an honest about leadership, discipline, health, and legacy. Anastasia is living proof that when you believe in yourself, you can be more powerful than the money, connections, or privilege you may or may not have. Anastasia opens up about immigrating to the U.S. as a single mom after escaping communist Romania in search of freedom, opportunity, and a better life… and how that journey shaped her unshakable mindset. She gets candid about the tough sacrifices and even tougher decisions that came with building her empire (including firing her own daughter from the company!), whether she would ever consider selling her billion-dollar brand, and the health non-negotiables that protect her mental and physical stamina. At its core, this conversation is a reminder how success comes from leading your life with discipline and intention. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS Choosing uncertainty over comfort: Anastasia made the life-altering decision to escape communist Romania, immigrate to the U.S. as a single mother, and bet on herself with no money, no language, and no safety net…prioritizing long-term vision over short-term security. Protecting her health while building success: Anastasia decided early on to manage her emotions, release past trauma, and refuse burnout as the cost of success, focusing on discipline, presence, and health non-negotiables so she could sustain both her empire and her well-being.

Robert Kiyosaki and business experts warn that the biggest crash in human history hasn't just been predicted—it's already started. From the "Great Reset" to the shadow moves of billionaires like Warren Buffett, the global economy is being re-engineered before our eyes. This episode breaks down why the masses are about to lose everything and the exact physical assets you need to hold to thrive while the banking system burns BEST MOMENTS "Make no mistake, the financial apocalypse is coming... Robert Kiyosaki believes that this will be the biggest crash in history. In fact, he believes it's already started". "Banks can take money directly from your bank account. I have had banks take hundreds of thousands of pounds off of me directly without asking me and without telling me... This stuff is not George Orwell 1984; it is 2026". "Billionaires, they buy gold and silver and they hope it doesn't go up in value. So it's a hedge against a property crash, a stock market crash, and an economic crash".

Tad Delay came on to talk about his lecture from the Democracy in Tension summit, and we got into political philosophy and why democracy keeps sliding toward tyranny. Tad teaches Plato's Republic in his intro philosophy classes, and he makes this compelling case that Plato basically had us figured out - the fundamental problem is why do people desire their own servitude as though it were their salvation? We traced the history of democratic movements from the French Revolution through the revolutions of 1848 (which most people know nothing about), and Tad connected it all to our current moment with Gaza, Zionism, and how both parties seem to have lost any sense of shame about lying. The conversation got pretty dark but also weirdly hopeful - we talked about social media as a performance of fake happiness, the need to bring back shame about lying and abuse, and how billionaires like Peter Thiel don't even understand the basics of how power works. Plus we ended with the cheerful speculation that Trump could probably admit to his crimes and people would respect him more for it. Like I said, cheery stuff.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off with jaw-dropping international news: the U.S. launched a major military strike in Venezuela and successfully captured President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife early on January 3. The operation, dubbed “Absolute Resolve,” involved over 150 U.S. aircraft and special forces, targeting multiple military sites before evacuating Maduro to New York to face narcotics charges. The strike prompted global backlash, with Russia and China denouncing it as a violation of sovereignty, the U.N. Security Council calling an emergency session, and neighboring airspace closures disrupting Caribbean travel. In entertainment news, Deion Sanders and actress Karrueche Tran made their relationship official, confirming they’re an item after months of speculation. Sanders' son even introduced Tran to his siblings as their "stepmom" in a Christmas Eve vlog, and the couple shared affectionate moments sideline at a Cleveland Browns game. Beyoncé joined the billionaire club, becoming the fifth musician to achieve Forbes' wealth milestone thanks to her record-breaking Cowboy Carter tour—grossing over $400 million—and lucrative ventures in fashion, whiskey, and entertainment. On the health front, the CDC labeled this flu season the worst since 2018, estimating over 11 million cases and 120,000 hospitalizations in just the 2025–26 season, with more than 3,100 deaths already recorded—driven largely by the aggressive H3N2 strain; flu activity remains elevated nationally.

Debbie Dobbins Talks About Your Inner Billionaire Our guest today is Debbie Dobbins, who is not at all your typical wealth mentor. Instead, She is a rebel with a cause, and her cause is helping conscious entrepreneurs to rewrite their stories about money, power, and purpose. After building successful businesses, making millions, and teaching abundance for decades, Debbie found herself face-to-face with a cancer diagnosis, and on food stamps. Wow! That experience didn't break her, though. Instead, it energized her. Through feminine energy, intuition, and radical personal reinvention, she not only healed her body and rebuilt her wealth, but she reimagined what true success really means. Today, Debbie is the author of Your Inner Billionaire, which she markets as a potent blend of prosperity principles, spiritual truth, and no-nonsense real talk. Her promotional materials tell us that her work blends Universal Laws, quantum consciousness, and grounded strategies to help conscious entrepreneurs to claim their abundance. Not just at the bank, but also in their bodies, businesses, and belief systems. She calls herself “The Queen of Magic” for a reason, she says. Her mission is to help others to always remember that they, too, hold the magic wand! Debbie now leads global retreats. She teaches transformational courses, and she runs a high-impact mastermind called the Inner Billionaire Circle. She has helped thousands of women to reignite their wealth from the inside out, many of them in what she is calling their “second act” of life. Her teaching work is grounded in joy, in soul connection, and in the confident belief that abundance is not reserved for only the very few, but rather it is a universal birthright. Debbie's website is www.thedebbiedobbins.com.

California just can't account for $76.5 billion in spending according to a non-partisan state audit, but Governor Newsom's brilliant solution? Let's tax the billionaires 5% on everything over a billion! What could possibly go wrong? This audit exposes jaw-dropping dysfunction: $24 billion in homeless spending with zero tracking, $1.5 billion in fraudulent unemployment payments, 11% error rates on food assistance, and agencies so mismanaged they're flagged as "high-risk" for fraud and waste. But instead of fixing the dumpster fire, California's response is to blame Trump and chase away the last remaining wealthy residents who actually pay taxes. Sound familiar? It's the same playbook we're seeing in Washington State, Illinois, and every other Democrat-run state circling the drain. When billionaires like Jeff Bezos flee to Florida and save a billion dollars in the process, is anyone really surprised? How long before California is left with nothing but poverty, over-regulation, and a tax base that's completely hollowed out?

Today's Song of the Day is “Billionaires” by jeremy messersmith.

Britney Spears shocked fans by unleashing a sarcastic Christmas burn on her “sweet, innocent” family after spending the holiday with son Jayden Federline. Meanwhile, Tyler Perry’s legal nightmare deepened as a new report claims his accuser allegedly begged for money before filing a staggering $77 million sexual assault lawsuit. And in a very different kind of headline, Beyoncé officially joined the billionaire club, riding the massive success of her Cowboy Carter tour and expanding business empire straight into the ultra-elite.

In this episode, Sharran breaks down the single strategy the wealthiest individuals use to access liquidity without selling assets or paying capital gains taxes.You'll learn how securities-based lending works, why borrowing is not a taxable event, and how billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and others use their portfolios as personal banks. More importantly, Sharran explains how this strategy applies to everyday investors with far smaller portfolios.Sharran also walks through the real risks—margin calls, interest rate exposure, and poor capital allocation—so you understand when this tool is powerful and when it can destroy wealth. If you want your money to keep compounding while still funding real estate, business growth, or new opportunities, this episode gives you the playbook.“The greatest hack in wealth creation is to become your own bank so that you can borrow from yourself.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:01:16 - How billionaires avoid taxes without loopholes03:05 - Why selling assets triggers wealth destruction05:17 - Securities-based lending explained step by step06:51 - Real example: Borrow vs. sell 10:26 - Margin calls and how investors get wiped out11:30 - Safe borrowing rules to protect your portfolio13:23 - How to set up a securities-backed line of credit15:25 - Key takeaway from today's episodeResources:- The Next Billion by Sharran Srivatsaa - https://sharransrivatsaa.substack.com/- Acquisition.com - https://www.acquisition.com/- Board Member: ARC Multifamily Real Estate Investing - https://arcmf.com/- Board Member: The Real Brokerage - https://www.joinreal.com/Connect with Sharran:- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/likesharran- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharransrivatsaa/- X - https://x.com/sharran- LinkedIn -

Beyoncé has been declared a billionaire by Forbes, making her the fifth musician to join its list of the world's wealthiest people with 10 figure fortunes, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé's husband Jay Z. Clare McDonnell speaks to Jacqueline Springer, music journalist and Curator of Africa & Diaspora: Performance at the Victoria & Albert museum, about what makes Beyoncé such a successful businesswoman, and the challenges along the way.Why can adults seem to regress to childhood or teenage behaviours at Christmas? We discuss family dynamics and the kinds of behaviour that can re-surface with everyone under the same roof again. Guardian columnist Elle Hunt shares her own experience alongside Woman's Hour listeners, and Psychotherapist Julia Samuel offers advice. Madelaine Thomas works as a professional dominatrix. When her own images were shared online without her consent, she decide to develop a tool that could allow images to be tracked, and abusers identified. Image Angel was the result, offering forensic image protection for platforms, and she's now trying to get businesses in the adult entertainment industry on board. Do we need to re-think our attitudes to ageing, as we age? As we approach 2026, we consider how to shed a negative attitude towards ageing, and embrace growing older and wiser, by revisiting an episode of the Woman's Hour Guide to Life: How to make ageing your superpower. Therapist Emma Kirkby-Geddes shares how she's been struggling to accept the passage of time. Gerontologist Dr Kerry Burnight, and Jacqueline Hooton, a personal trainer and ‘ageing well' coach, offer advice. Research tells us that girls tend to disengage from politics before the age of 16, just as boys seem to grow in confidence. Academics at Roehampton University have looked into this and have created a programme aimed at Year 9 students, in an attempt to re-engage teenage girls in issues that matter to them and boost their confidence to speak politically. Professor Bryony Hoskins has created G-EPIC (Gender Empowerment through Politics in the Classroom) and Rachel Burlton is a teacher at Mulberry School for Girls in London who has been teaching the programme.Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Helen Fitzhenry
