Norm Hitzges breaks down the Cowboys' embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos — a game so one-sided it has him wondering if Dallas will ever beat Denver again. With sharp insight and signature wit, Norm dissects how the Cowboys collapsed on both sides of the ball, from a defense that forgot how to tackle to a rookie corner who got picked apart all afternoon.He dives into Dak Prescott's rough outing, the defense's seven explosive plays allowed, and a mysterious injury story surrounding Trayvon Diggs that just doesn't add up. It's classic Norm — honest, funny, and brutally insightful about the state of America's Team.

Why does life keep getting more expensive, even as technology makes everything cheaper? Every year, we produce more, innovate faster, and work harder. Yet somehow, it feels harder than ever to get ahead. This episode reveals why that feeling isn’t a failure… its design. We uncover the hidden architecture of inflation: the mechanisms, incentives, and feedback loops that keep modern economies running on perpetual money creation. Inflation isn’t random. It’s engineered. And understanding how it works explains why you feel poorer in our most technologically-advanced age yet. Here’s what we’re unpacking:* Why “growth” has become a disguise for dilution* How new money always flows to the ultra-wealthy first (the Cantillon Effect in modern form)* The missing prosperity that technology should have delivered, and who’s capturing it instead* Why governments can’t stop printing (and why inflation is now policy, not accident)* How the system feeds on productivity itself, keeping you running faster but never getting ahead If you’ve ever felt like you’re running faster but standing still, this episode will show you why. See you on the inside. IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE: Why You Feel Poorer Even as the World Gets Richer – SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead? Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever. But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away. In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today. The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security. The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage. -- RESOURCES TO HELP: Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Looking for a team to partner with you in your portfolio building journey?

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community So you’ve built wealth in real estate and you’re approaching retirement… now what? This week, we’re exploring the different ways property investors might think about turning a portfolio into retirement income. Should you sell and redeploy into higher-yield assets? Refinance and draw on equity? Pay down debt to free up cashflow? Or move some capital into other assets for flexibility? Instead of theory, we’ll treat this like a live portfolio strategy session - walking through scenarios and considering how the balance between growth, income, leverage, and risk can shift as you move from the accumulation years into retirement. What we’ll cover: When selling makes sense vs when to hold How refinancing, restructures, and top-ups could help fund retirement Why debt strategy in retirement often flips the script from the accumulation phase Balancing cashflow, equity growth, and risk in later life Whether you’re 5 years away or 25, this is exploring ways to build wealth that doesn’t just look good on paper, it funds the lifestyle you actually want.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when trust in money dies? History shows it’s never gentle. From Rome’s slow debasement of silver to Weimar’s wheelbarrows of paper, every fiat collapse follows the same pattern: debasement → recognition → flight → failure. In this episode, we explore The Great Melt-Up — the moment when the illusion of stability shatters, and people rush to exchange paper promises for anything real: bread, fuel, gold, real estate, even Bitcoin. We’ll trace the cycle across centuries, uncover why inflation isn’t an accident but deliberate policy, and explain how it flips the script — savers lose, debtors win, and wealth shifts silently but brutally. Most importantly, we’ll zoom in on today: Why some currencies collapse overnight… and others rot slowly for centuries The hidden laws that drive people to hoard, dump, or flee money when trust breaks How gold, property, and even debt can flip from liabilities to lifelines in a melt-up The eerie pattern linking Rome’s denarius, Weimar’s marks, and today’s dollars This isn’t theory.

Always do your own research and seek independent professional advice before making any investment or financial decisions. – SERIES: Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) Have you noticed that, no matter how hard you work, it feels harder to get ahead? Wages look bigger, property prices keep climbing, and the headlines say Australia is richer than ever. But for many households, the reality is the opposite — pay rises don’t stretch, saving feels impossible, and the dream of home ownership slips further away. In this new mini-series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It) — we expose the hidden forces behind the squeeze: from the illusion of prosperity created by money supply growth, to the widening divides between owners and non-owners, to the strategies you can use to protect yourself and build real wealth today. Over five episodes, we’ll peel back the layers: The Illusion of Prosperity — why this “boom” is really a squeeze. The Crack-Up Boom — what happens when trust in money itself starts to collapse? The New Divide — who wins and who loses when inflation silently redistributes wealth? How to Protect Yourself — the new playbook for building real wealth in an age of erosion. Beyond Money — why true prosperity isn’t just financial, and how to live well now. The old rules no longer work: work hard, save diligently, and expect security. The new rules are here. And in this series, we’ll show you how to use them to your advantage. -- RESOURCES TO HELP: Looking for a team to partner with you in your portfolio building journey?

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community We’re told Australia is richer than ever. GDP is booming. Wages look bigger. Property prices keep climbing. But if that’s the case, why does it feel like you’re working harder just to stay in place? This is Part 1 of our new series — Why Getting Ahead Is Getting Harder (and What To Do About It). This week, we’re exploring The Illusion of Prosperity — the gap between what the numbers say and what households actually feel. We’ll uncover: Why 'economic growth' is more mirage than reality How individual prosperity has collapsed by 99% over the past six decades. Why pay rises don’t stretch like they used to. The housing paradox: unaffordable for new buyers, yet still a wealth rocket for owners.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold? From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders. On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only… In this episode, we break down:* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation* Is real estate more scarce than gold?* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Headlines say New Zealand’s housing market has “crashed.” Prices are down from their 2021 peak, and the story is making waves across the Tasman. But does it really signal danger for Australian property investors... or is there more to the story? This week, we’re unpacking the reality behind the headlines, and what it means for Australia’s property outlook. Here’s what we'll cover:* The truth about NZ’s “crash”—where values fell, and where they’ve actually hit new highs.* Why big centres like Auckland and Wellington slumped, while lifestyle and regional markets surged.* Why Australia’s market has continued to climb despite higher interest rates.* Whether Kiwi migration and “capital flight” are influencing Australian property prices.* The key lessons for Australian investors — and why the fundamentals always win. If you want clarity on what’s really happening across the Tasman, and what it means for your investing playbook in Australia, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community Everyone plans on living to 85. That's roughly 4,300 weeks. But the brutal truth? Data shows that your body stops letting you live freely around age 60. That means you actually have about 3,000 weeks of real freedom. Maybe less. Then you subtract all those years you wasted being a child (silly), and your current age right now… Suddenly you're left with a stark reality of just how little time we all have to truly live. This week on The Investor Lab, we're breaking down the three timelines that actually matter — and why most people are planning their retirement around the wrong one. This week, we're diving into: The three clocks running your life: how long you'll live, how long you'll be healthy, and how long you'll be FREE The shocking data that stops people from living life on their terms How to front-load the life you want instead of back-loading it to retirement The vitality action plan — what to do right now, regardless of your current age Most people think they're planning for 4,300 weeks.Smart people plan for the 3,000 weeks that actually count. This isn't about being morbid — it's about being realistic. Our hope is that once you understand this, you'll never think about money, work, or retirement the same way again.

Darwin property prices are up 15% this year. That buyers agent you follow is probably excited about it. They shouldn’t be. What you’re seeing isn’t genuine market growth - it’s what we call a “babble” (Buyers Agent bubble location) - a fascinating new phenomenon we’re seeing, when multiple buyers agents pile into the same market without proper research, creating artificial demand that inflates prices beyond what the true fundamentals support. This week on The Investor Lab, we’ve got our Head of Property, Sean Simpson, back on deck to reveal how well-meaning buyers agents are putting their clients into risky situations - and more importantly, how you can protect yourself. What you’ll discover: The Darwin dupe - Why these “hot markets” are actually warning signs of Babbles (Buyers Agent bubble locations) Not all growth is created equal - The difference between sugar hits and sustainable fundamentals, and the right metrics to looks for The 20-year buy and hold fallacy - Why market cycles are shortening and timing matters more than ever Portfolio protection - Why you need ongoing reviews, not just a one-time purchase Sean will show you real examples of “double whammies” - markets where both fundamentals AND buyers agent activity create dangerous bubbles. This isn’t about bashing buyers agents (most of them mean well!). It’s about understanding why their model is flawed and what sophisticated investors do instead.

What Is Really Going On With The Epstein Files? | Todd Coconato Live Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give

Something doesn't add up. The headlines say the economy is fine. GDP is growing. Unemployment is low. Markets are hitting records. But talk to anyone in the real world and they'll tell you it feels like everything is falling apart. So how can both be true at the same time? Today on The Investor Lab, we're connecting four massive stories that explain why nothing feels the way the numbers say it should – and more importantly, what it means for your money. We're digging into: Australia's Secret Recession – Why millions of Australians are going backwards even though "the economy" is supposedly fine. The AI Job Apocalypse – It's not coming. It's here. And the numbers will shock you. The Dollar's Quiet Collapse – The world's reserve currency is having its worst year in 50 years (and most people haven't noticed) The Great Liquidity Return – Why money is about to flood back into everything, everywhere, all at once. Each of these stories would be massive on their own. Together? Well, let’s just say… it’s time to pay attention. Because understanding these four forces isn't just about being informed – it's about positioning yourself for what comes next. See you on the inside PS. We've been deep in the research on this, and honestly? Some of what we've found is pretty wild. While it can be unsettling, it also opens opportunities for those who understand what’s truly happening behind the official narratives. Investors who decode the signal will be better positioned to protect and grow their wealth. WATCH ON YOUTUBE: Four Global Forces Reshaping Your Financial Future: Are You Ready?

James Comey's Daughter Threw The Diddy Case Just Like She Did With All The Other Jeffrey Epstein Cases! Tune In NOW As Alex Jones Lays Out What's Really Going On

Most investors hit a wall after their second property. The banks say no more borrowing. The negative cashflow is eating into savings. The dream of building a portfolio feels impossible. The frustrating part? You know you could handle more. You've got the experience, the drive. But between maxed-out borrowing capacity and negative cashflow eating your savings, you're stuck. But what if your existing properties could fund the next ones? This week on The Investor Lab, we're diving into the strategy that could very well turn your trapped equity into a self-funding portfolio machine. Callum Rhodes, Head of Dashdot Finance, is joining us to be pleasantly questioned (cough: grilled) on how smart investors use structures to break through borrowing limits and create portfolios that literally pay for themselves. What's inside: How to unlock trapped equity without selling your properties The structuring strategy that expands your borrowing capacity beyond traditional limits How to make your negative cashflow properties fund each other This isn't about finding better deals. It's about using your existing assets strategically to fund your next phase of growth.

Dr. Jacob L. Freedman on Let's Get Real with Coach Menachem, Sunday May18, 2025 # 231What's Really Going On in Our Minds? A Raw, Real, and Relevant Talk with a Psychiatrist

Hot flashes aren't the problem—gaslighting is. Hilary takes aim at the menopause conversation and asks the question no one else is asking: What if this isn't your downfall, but your awakening? In this episode, she breaks down the cultural scripts, conditioning, and quiet misogyny wrapped in every “crazy menopausal woman” meme, and replaces it with truth, clarity, and power. This is not a hormonal crisis. This is your moment.   Episode Highlights: Why blaming hormones keeps women stuck The myth of the “crazy menopausal woman” What really causes women to question their marriage at midlife Why losing your cool isn't the issue—losing yourself is The gift of finally putting yourself first (and meaning it)   Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Challenging the Menopause Narrative [01:05] The Gaslighting of Women's Health [02:10] Menopause and Divorce: What's Really Going On [05:05] Midlife Awakening vs. Hormonal Blame [07:04] Cultural Conditioning and Losing Ourselves [08:06] Why the “Crazy Menopausal Woman” Trope is So Dangerous [11:11] Menopause Isn't a Crisis—It's a Revolution [12:32] Reclaiming Your Power in Midlife  

Perimenopause & Autoimmune — What's Really Going On? Are your autoimmune symptoms flaring as your hormones shift? You're not imagining it. In this episode, Dr. Alison Danby dives deep into the powerful intersection between perimenopause and autoimmune disease — what's happening in your body, why things feel harder than they used to, and what you can do to feel like yourself again.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: What perimenopause really is — and how it affects your hormones, mood, sleep, and immune system Why hormone testing may not be as helpful as you think (and what to do instead) How fluctuating estrogen and declining progesterone can trigger autoimmune flares Why blood sugar crashes, histamine overload, and poor sleep make things worse The root causes of increased sensitivity to foods, stress, and medications Practical steps to regulate your nervous system, stabilize hormones, and reduce immune reactivity The role of HRT and when it might be worth exploring This is a must-listen if you're in your late 30s or 40s, feeling off, and wondering: “Is this perimenopause? Or is it my autoimmune condition?” (Spoiler: it's both — and we can work with it.)

Eni Aluko was the darling of the woke establishment—until one comment about Ian Wright brought it all crashing down. After our explosive debate on Heretics, she sent me a barrage of private messages, revealing far more than she intended. What started as a polite disagreement became one of the most controversial moments in sports punditry. Why was Eni really forced out of the Women's Football Awards? Why did the media turn on one of their own? And how did she become the target of the very outrage culture she once championed? In this video, I break down: - The viral moment that got Eni cancelled - Her private messages to me—and what they reveal - Why her comment about Ian Wright was the wrong target at the wrong time - The silent rebellion inside football against woke orthodoxy - What this saga tells us about race, gender, and power in modern media This is more than a media scandal—it's a story about identity, hypocrisy, and the fragile rules of the woke game. And for once, Eni Aluko wasn't holding the cards.

Today, we cover Jane Fonda's acceptance speech for her SAG Life Achievement Award, when she said that having empathy just means caring about other people. But given her past comments about murdering pro-lifers, not to mention her "activism" in Vietnam, we doubt she really understands what she's talking about. We also discuss the tragic situation in Israel with the deaths of Shiri Bibas and her sweet babies and Hamas' sick celebration returning the bodies to the Red Cross. And in the latest string of heartbreaking atrocities, we go over the disturbing events in the Congo regarding the ongoing violent persecution of Christians. On a more lighthearted note, President Trump continues to not care about making friends in D.C. as he called out the governor of Maine to her face over disobeying his executive order keeping males out of female sports.

Got writer's block and convinced it's because you lack talent? Think again! And I have the solution that'll change the way you approach your writing…If you're struggling to finish your novel, I want you to know that your lack of progress has nothing to do with your capabilities or the quality of your ideas. In fact, it boils down to an imbalance of three essential things—or pillars of novel creation, if you will.In this week's episode, I'm sharing what these three things are so you can overcome writing roadblocks and finish your novel in 2025.These three things helped Jenny finish her draft in 6 months (after being stuck for 12 years) and gave Laura the confidence to move past self-doubt and finish her 83,000-word fantasy story.Here's what I talk about: [03:43] Your secret roadmap to avoid the endless planning loop where you waste months (or even years) trying to make everything perfect.[10:01] The most overlooked part of successfully writing a first draft, which many people ignore, and how to leverage it when self-doubt kicks in.[15:36] The technical piece of the writing puzzle and why even beautiful prose won't help if the other two pieces aren't in place.And so much more…If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress on your story, grab your headphones, turn the volume up, and press play. This could be the writing breakthrough you've been waiting for.

Cuba is in a state of ECONOMIC COLLAPSE and cannot afford to buy enough fuel to keep the country's lights on. No electricity means that businesses, schools and the healthcare system will not be able to open and that is only going to make the situation worse.

Today, we sit down with Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer to discuss the latest details on Iran's latest missile attack on Israel. And does America bear any responsibility to intervene? We also recap last night's vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz. Spoiler alert: Our predictions were right! Vance, of course, was the most well-spoken person in the room. Knucklehead Walz tried (and failed) to support his arguments with the Bible and apparently lied about being in Tiananmen Square?
