It should have been a leisurely Saturday off work for 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who was looking forward to celebrating the Confederate Memorial Day holiday. It should have been an easy day for Leo Frank, too, who hoped to leave his job at the factory early to go to the local baseball game with his wife. It should have been a carefree day for 16-year old Grace Hicks, who was enjoying a rare day off, and waiting for her friend to join her at the parade. It was anything but a beautiful, joyful, restful day. Mary Phagan would never make it to the parade. Grace would soon be faced with an unimaginable task. And Leo Frank? Why couldn't the police get in touch with him? What happened in the basement of the pencil factory at that grisly crime scene? And who wrote that strange note? Join us for part two of this seven-episode series, The Vigilantes.
What up, Vigilantes? I have some news for you… Rusty Russell just quit Lightning development. The man who helped build Bitcoin's flagship Layer 2 walked away, and nobody should be surprised. Lightning's usability was always “send five transactions and hopefully one lands.” That's not a payments network. That's a coin flip with extra steps. And the devs didn't just leave Lightning. They fled to Ark Protocol and BitVM. Meanwhile, Elements, Blockstream's federated sidechain model, got hacked. An inflation bug in confidential transactions cost roughly 4,000 BTC, and about 3,600 were returned. This was a feature with formal mathematical proofs of safety. Proofs! The irony, as JK put it on the show: “You could have a catastrophic failure and then your formal methods, like specification and math… doesn't really count anymore.” So Bitcoin's scaling scorecard is 0-for-2. And while Core ossifies, a fork is coming that could absorb the entire altcoin market… Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute | Vigilante.tv Here's the uncomfortable truth: scaling didn't fail technically. It failed culturally. Paul Sztorc's BIP 300/301 drivechain proposals went nowhere from 2015 to today, not because they didn't work, but because ossification culture, as JK said, has “taken the wind out of everybody's sail.” The forks are happening in culture, not code. And when BitVM and Ark get pre-approved as consensus in what JK called “Bitcoin Core secret meetings,” you start to understand who actually decides what Bitcoin is. Then there's the cap itself. Peter Todd is pushing tail emissions and a demurrage idea that would tax your wallet to pay miners. And BlackRock's own commercial disclaimer says the 21 million cap is “subject to change.” The 21 million cap is Bitcoin's whole pitch. If that's negotiable, what isn't? Which brings us to October. eCash is forking in roughly six weeks, and the design is beautiful in its simplicity: Bitcoin Core's exact codebase plus a single change, BIP 300 and BIP 301. That's it. There's no replay protection either, which means holders have to actively split their coins and miners have to actively choose between chains. This fork packs a real punch. BIP 301 is blind merge mining: every main-chain block includes a commitment to a sidechain block, and that sidechain block only becomes valid once the main-chain block is valid. Miners can't give their hash rate away for free anymore. They have to choose. And the sidechain ecosystem? It's exploding. There's ETHside, an Ethereum clone compatible with Ethereum wallets; Zside, a Zcash-style chain; Thunder, with big blocks and instant payments via double-spend bonds; Truthcoin prediction markets; and CoinShift, a decentralized market maker for atomic swaps. Then there's JK's own Elements Plus. In his words, “I took all their research and just switched the one flaw… the pegging and peg out mechanism.” He swapped the federated peg for BIP 300/301, baking the lessons of the Elements hack right into the design. My thesis, and I said it straight to JK: SHA-256 will consume the entire altcoin market. Any altcoin, whether it's Solana, Zcash, or Hyperliquid, could be recreated as a drivechain on eCash. Given how quickly the crypto space has grown, and all the scaling tech clashes and the on-chain horizon we've covered before, this is the next chapter of making Bitcoin fun again. Why build on a less secure chain when you can plug into the most secure protocol on Earth? Alpha and beta testnets are already live.

En 1993, mientras un tribunal federal todavía discutía si la construcción violaba derechos religiosos apaches, el Vaticano encendió su propio telescopio en la cumbre de Dzil Nchaa Si An, la montaña que los apaches de San Carlos llaman sagrada desde generaciones antes de que existiera Arizona. Años después, un instrumento infrarrojo bautizado Lucifer empezó a operar a metros de ese mismo telescopio. Y entre esas dos fechas, tres directores consecutivos del Observatorio Vaticano declararon en público, sin rodeos, que un hermano extraterrestre sería bienvenido en la fe católica y hasta bautizable. Un astrónomo jesuita dijo que bautizaría a un extraterrestre si se lo pedía. Su antecesor lo llamó directamente hermano. Un exorcista de la Curia romana sostuvo en televisión que el contacto ya era real. Sobre esa base pública, sostenida durante tres décadas, autores como Thomas Horn y Chris Putnam construyeron la tesis de un mesías cósmico preparado desde Roma, con raíces que se hunden en los Vigilantes del Libro de Enoc y en la profecía de un último papa. ¿Qué explica que una institución de dos mil años insista, año tras año, en la posibilidad de un hermano venido de las estrellas?

A shocking murder. A scene so brutal that the first people to find the victim couldn't even tell what their skin color was. And a case that forever changed both the city, and the state's legal system. It was April 1913, in Atlanta, Georgia, and the city would never be the same. You may wonder why this imperative and dramatic case is not taught in history class, or how the world could have forgotten such a horrific crime that continues to have an impact more than 100 years later. Join us for part one of this seven-episode series, and experience just how powerful of a motivator fear can be.
What up, Vigilantes? Privacy often feels like a punishment. Slow syncs. Clunky interfaces. The feeling that you're doing something wrong just by trying to keep your financial life off the public record. We've all felt it. You want privacy, but the tech makes you wait for it. It's friction. And in a world that moves at light speed, friction is unacceptable. But with the release of Stashi, everything changed… Finally, we have a privacy wallet that doesn't make you wait. No more staring at a progress bar that seems stuck in 1995. I sat down with Amy V, Pirate Chain's project events lead, and Daniel, its first mate and community lead. They explained why this shift matters more than any price pump or chart pattern. The core of it is speed… Previously, syncing a privacy wallet was a nightmare. You had to decrypt every block individually. It was slow. Painful. Stashi fixes this with what Daniel calls the “Supernova sync engine.” He told me it's 27 times faster than the old lite wallet. Twenty-seven. And that's while running through Tor by default. Amy V called it “the fastest wallet that we've seen so far” among Zero-Knowledge Proof-based projects. It's not just fast; it's smooth. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute | Vigilante.tv This speed matters because of what's under the hood. Pirate Chain uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs, or zk-SNARKs. This is different from Monero's ring signatures. Monero currently hides the sender of a transaction among 15 decoys. In certain scenarios, adversaries can use this information to probabilistically narrow down the identity of the sender of a particular transaction. zk-SNARKs reveal nothing. Nothing about the sender, the receiver, or the amount. Daniel explains it with a Where's Waldo book. Cut a small hole in a piece of paper, lay it over Waldo, and you can prove you know where he is without showing anything else on the page. It's a “more elegant solution,” Daniel said. Pirate Chain's encryption hasn't been broken yet. And it gets tighter soon… The Ironwood protocol activates on October 3. This is a big deal. It uses the Halo 2 proving system to eliminate the trusted setup from the old Sapling protocol. It kills the inflation risk. Daniel was clear: update your wallet to version 6.0.0 or higher. Keep your seed phrase safe. The tech is securing itself against the forces that want to break it. But tech is only half the story. The other half is people… Daniel admitted he's just a community member. He's unpaid. He's driven by passion. Amy V is the same. They aren't CEOs. They're volunteers. They believe in digital cash that works like real money. Where a vendor doesn't know your balance, your history, or your name. They're taking this grassroots. Amy suggested going to farmers markets – not to lecture “normies” on blockchain, but to teach vendors how to accept Pirate Chain using the new Stashi wallet. Build the local economy first. The walls are closing in on privacy and financial autonomy. We see it with the surveillance state and Flock camera debates. We saw it during COVID with the Canadian trucker protesters' funds being seized. Don't wait for permission. Download the wallet at piratechain.com/wallets.Join the push for financial autonomy.

AI cameras, drones, licence plate readers, sound detection, Flock - the United States is monitored through a growing, high-tech, and increasingly interconnected surveillance network. In some cities, like Houston, Texas, the true extent of this system is a secret. Law enforcement says this is all for public safety - to prevent crime and assist investigations. Critics think it is an invasion of privacy, open to misuse, and a sneaky tool aiding ICE in President Trump's deportation drive. One company is bearing the brunt of the backlash: Flock Safety. Its network of AI-powered licence plate readers spans over 6000 communities, generating 20 billion vehicle scans a month. Vigilantes have been cutting down Flock devices. Social media is full of tips on how to obstruct or disable the cameras. Ellie House is in Houston, Texas, to investigate the surveillance network authorities do not want you to know about. She sees how Flock has been used by police to fight crime, gets inside the anti-surveillance techlash, and she sits down with Flock CEO Garrett Langley in his Atlanta HQ. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Assignment.

What happens when people stop believing the justice system will deliver justice?Pigweed and Crowhill start with the banned movie Citizen Vigilante, but quickly move into a much bigger question: Why do vigilante stories become popular when people believe crime is out of control and the authorities aren't doing their job?From Charles Bronson and Falling Down to Batman, John Locke, the social contract, and the state's supposed monopoly on force, they explore the uneasy bargain at the heart of civilized society: We give up the right to take justice into our own hands because we expect the government to do it for us.But what happens when that bargain breaks down?Along the way, they discuss immigration and crime in Europe, censorship, the difficulty of talking honestly about politically sensitive problems, and why vigilante stories may be a warning sign that public confidence in institutions is collapsing.Plus: Alpaca Riot IPA, the Streisand effect, and a surprisingly serious theory about the size of Batman's ears.

Patreon backer Jordan Jennings requested that we read the recent Batman/Green Arrow/Question team-up mini-series, Arcadia, so that makes for an easy theme, right? That mini, plus a story where a Bat characters meets Green Arrow, and one where a Bat character meets Question. Simple. But boy, could we not have gotten three more different stories! Arcadia is a recent, deeply involved in social issues story. The Green Arrow story is another Brave and the Bold from Bob Haney, so that one is just plain whacky. And the Question story is a Denny O'Neil story that takes a fascinating look at a classic Bat villain at a time when the character was not what we knew him as before, or have known him as since.

The Money Wise Guys kick off this week's show with a look at a tougher stretch on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 455 points, or 0.8%, the S&P 500 declined roughly 111 points, or 1.4%, and the Nasdaq dropped about 549 points, or 2.1%. Despite the pullback, all three major indexes remain positive for the year, with the Dow up 10.8%, the S&P 500 up 12.1%, and the Nasdaq up 12.6% year to date. From there, the team looks beyond the headlines to discuss rising Treasury yields, lighter August trading volume, and the increasingly rapid rotation taking place throughout the market. With money moving quickly between stocks, bonds, metals, crypto, and other areas, they explain why short-term volatility can feel more dramatic even when the broader market picture hasn't changed significantly. They also look ahead to earnings, including Nvidia's upcoming report, and discuss why company fundamentals can provide a more meaningful signal for long-term investors than the market narrative of the day. Later in the first hour, the conversation turns to the growing influence of speculation, from cryptocurrency and leveraged ETFs to zero-day options and 24-hour trading. The team discuss the risks of allowing a trader's mentality to creep into a long-term portfolio and why the latest Wall Street product or hot investment theme may not always be what it appears. They encourage investors to dig deeper, understand what they own, and remain focused on diversification and long-term discipline rather than chasing the fear of missing out. Wall Street's Latest Speculation Wall Street has never been short on the next hot idea. Years ago it was SPACs. More recently, cryptocurrency took center stage, and now investors are being pitched everything from leveraged ETFs and zero-day options to private credit and other alternative investments. The products may change, but the temptation is usually the same: fear of missing out on an opportunity everyone else seems to be chasing. The problem is that popularity doesn't make something appropriate for a long-term portfolio. Investors still need to look past the marketing, understand the risks and liquidity involved, and ask whether an investment actually serves a purpose within their overall strategy. There's a big difference between investing with a process and buying something simply because Wall Street has made it the latest thing to talk about. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys explore RIA vs. Broker. You don't want to miss the details! Tune in for the full discussion on your favorite podcast provider or at davidsoncap.com, where you can also learn more about the Money Wise guys or take advantage of a portfolio review and analysis with Davidson Capital Management.
Wall Street wobbles as 30-year Treasury yields punch above 5.3%, and hyperscalers flood the bond market with nearly $200bn of debt this year alone. James and Heath break down why the long end of the curve is starting to look shaky, what Scott Bessent's buyback plan actually does, and why Nvidia's $500bn GPU-backed lending scheme has more than a whiff of 2008 about it. Wealth advisor Murdoch Gatti (The Rate of Change) joins to talk fund manager sentiment on energy security, behind-the-meter gas powering data centres, and why South America — not Australia — is set to be the next copper growth engine. Plus: small caps flying under the radar this week (Titan Minerals, EV Resources, Barton Gold, Greenvale Energy and more), oil creeping back toward $88 on Iran tensions, and the boys unpack the Sydney Swans' five-player suspension ahead of finals.Ensombl CPDcheck link to earn CPD: https://provider.cpdcheck.com/assessment/15574?type=individual #InvestmentPodcast #ASX #Markets #SmallCaps #BondsGeneral advice only, if at all.

We conclude our conversation on Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro and get into why we have so much more sympathy for the vigilante hero than the rogue cop.
In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore a little‑known chapter of American history: the establishment of California's penal system as a form of coerced labour that replaced chattel slavery.When we think of slavery in America, we think of the southern states. But California has a far more complex and underexplored history. In 1849, the year after gold was discovered, California was a lawless frontier. There were no courts, no jails, no police. Vigilantes and self‑appointed "tribunals" dispensed "justice" with fists, guns and ropes. White paramilitary groups like the Hounds terrorised Latino and Black communities, robbing, raping and mutilating with impunity.As California moved towards statehood in 1850, it needed to establish order. But the state had no money to build prisons. The solution was to put prisoners to work – and to make them pay for their own incarceration. From the 1850s onwards, legions of shackled prisoners built roads, broke granite, laid pipes and even built San Quentin prison itself. Convict labour was leased to private businesses, creating a system of penal slavery that would endure for generations.Drawing on Jean Felser's California, a Slave State, we trace the origins of this system. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery – but with a crucial exception: "except as a punishment for crime". That exception allowed California to build an economic colossus on the backs of unpaid prisoners, disproportionately Native American, Black, immigrant and poor. And the system never went away.Topics covered:California's lawless gold rush eraThe Hounds and vigilante justiceThe 1850 Act for the Government and Protection of IndiansThe establishment of San Quentin prisonConvict leasing and penal slaveryThe 13th Amendment's "punishment for crime" exceptionThe racialisation of crime and punishmentThe prison‑industrial complex in historical perspectiveIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Hace algunos años en la morgue de un reconocido hospital ubicado en el estado de Michoacán, México, sucedió algo bastante extraño. Hubo una gran movilización de personal, quienes se amontonaron en la entrada de la morgue, aquel espacio en el que colocan los cuerpos cuando los enfermos pierden la batalla.En medio de aquel alboroto, sacaron el cuerpo de una joven; el cual se apresuraron a trasladar a un sitio que a la fecha se desconoce. Todo fue muy sospechoso. Nadie quería decir nada. Pero un secreto a voces decía que aquella chica había sido internada en el hospital debido a los extraños síntomas que presentaba. Decían que estaba poseída por un demonio. ¿La razón? Ella había jugado a la Ouija y había sido participe de extraños rituales.De ahí en más no se supo nada...Hasta que recibimos este relato de parte quién se identifico solamente como "Alejandro". Un guardia de seguridad de dicho hospital. Él fue testigo de primera mano de lo sucedido aquella noche en la morgue del hospital...

How significant is Australia's new centrist party and could something similar be done in the UK?

A viral video of a woman removing towels from "reserved" pool chairs has everyone picking sides. Erin says the pool vigilante did the right thing, Drew says absolutely not, and listeners are surprisingly divided. Plus: These middle names had us saying, "Your parents named you WHAT?!" Can peanut butter and ketchup actually work together? We put the viral pairing to the test.

Fred reviews My Hero Academia Vigilantes
On this episode, Cory joins Dion, Jon, and Irv to discuss the next round of action heroes (with no superpowers) and focus on one-man armies and vigilantes. When it comes to the ultimate cinematic tough guy, who is your absolute favorite: the suit-clad, legendary John Wick, the calm and calculating Robert McCall, the primal, one-man-army John Rambo, the reluctant, everyday-guy John McClane, the wild, unpredictable Martin Riggs, or Tom Cruise's hard-hitting, nomadic Jack Reacher?
JoAnne Bianco argues that bond vigilantes are already doing the Fed's heavy lifting, pushing yields higher and buying policymakers time ahead of the June meeting. Rather than chasing long-dated treasuries, she makes a counterintuitive case for high-yield and short-to-intermediate duration ETFs, with emerging market sovereign credit standing out as a top performer offering both income and price appreciation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Most people assume the Fed controls interest rates. The bond market has a different opinion — and over the past several years, it's been winning. Understanding why that matters could change how you think about the whole life insurance policy you own, or the one you've been considering. When the Fed cut rates three times in 2024, the 10-year Treasury yield didn't follow. It rose. That disconnect isn't a glitch — it's the bond market pricing in inflation and fiscal risk that the Fed was slow to acknowledge. Bond vigilantes, as economists have called them since the 1980s, sell bonds to force yields higher when they disagree with central bank policy. It's happened before, and it's happening now. What most people don't realize is that whole life insurance is quietly one of the biggest beneficiaries of this dynamic. Life insurers hold massive bond portfolios, and as older bonds mature at yields of 3.6–3.7%, they're being reinvested at 5–6% and above. That reinvestment flywheel is still accelerating — and it flows directly into dividend scales. Every major mutual carrier has raised its dividend interest rate every year since 2023. Here's the part that surprises people: the lag that drives this works in your favor, whether you already have a policy or are considering one. If you own whole life, your dividends are rising and will continue to rise as more of the portfolio turns over at higher yields. If you're new to it, you haven't missed the window — the early years of any policy show the lowest dividend impact, and the tailwind will build throughout the life of your policy. ______________________________________________ If you'd like to talk through how this applies to your situation, schedule a call with us or send us a message—we're happy to walk you through it.
In this stop on the Backwoods Cryptid Roadtrip, we drive into California and explore two of the most enduring cryptid traditions in North America. We begin in the Santa Lucia Mountains above Big Sur, where settlers, ranchers, schoolteachers, hikers, soldiers, and tourists have for centuries reported tall silent figures standing on the ridgelines.Known as Los Vigilantes Oscuros, or the Dark Watchers, these silhouetted beings appear at dawn or dusk, wear what witnesses describe as long cloaks and broad-brimmed hats, and vanish the moment anyone tries to close the distance. We trace the history of these reports through Salinan, Esselen, and Chumash traditions, into the Spanish mission era beginning with Padre Junipero Serra in seventeen seventy-one, and forward into the published work of John Steinbeck, whose nineteen thirty-eight short story Flight placed the watchers into American literature, and the poet Robinson Jeffers, who wrote of the same figures in his nineteen thirty-seven poem Such Counsels You Gave to Me.Then we travel north into the redwood country, into the Six Rivers, the Klamath, the Trinity Alps, and the Marble Mountain Wilderness, where the Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk peoples have spoken of Oh-Mah, the boss of the woods, for as long as their oral traditions reach back. We walk through the nineteen fifty-eight Bluff Creek story that gave the name Bigfoot to the world, beginning with bulldozer operator Jerry Crew, foreman Wilbur Wallace, and Humboldt Times columnist Andrew Genzoli, and we spend the bulk of the episode in encounter territory.Hunters who watched a hair-covered figure ford a creek and turn to look back. Families who heard screams answer each other across redwood campgrounds at midnight. Backpackers who listened to rhythmic wood-knocking trade across a Marble Mountain lake. Truckers who saw something step a guardrail in one stride on Highway 96. River guides on the Klamath, forestry technicians in the Trinity Alps, fishermen on the Smith River, hunters on the Mendocino, residents of the Hoopa Valley who simply live alongside what their grandmothers told them was there.This is a California most postcards never show. The watchers above, the giants below, and the question that connects them.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

George Noble, CIO of Noble Capital Advisors, returns to review his February predictions on bonds, energy, and the AI trade, warning that the margin of safety is particularly small right now as there's no room for error with stocks highly valued, companies over-earning, and policymakers unable to ease on either fiscal or monetary fronts. He explains bond vigilantes are awakening as yields hit 30-year highs in Japan and 20-year highs in Europe, predicts the Fed cutting rates against surging inflation will backfire spectacularly, and reveals forward oil contracts are finally rising as the market believes this situation won't pass quickly. Noble declares we're in the "golden age for stock picking" after active managers got killed by ETFs for years, warns the consumer is already in recession with stocks like Home Depot, Lowe's, McDonald's, and Lululemon making multi-year relative lows, and explains his long resources/short consumer-tech spread has generated 10% returns in six weeks. He argues many stocks are in a bubble not because of high PEs but because of unsustainable margins (using shipping stocks as an analogy), reveals consumer ETFs are actually 40% Mag 7, confirms his "death of financialization" thesis as bond markets discipline politicians, and explains why Kevin Warsh is stuck between a rock and hard place with limited policy tools as the buy-the-dip mentality dies.Links: George Noble's Best Income Ideas Online Summit: https://noble-capevents.com/X: https://x.com/gnoble79Substack: https://substack.com/@georgenobleTimestamps: 0:00 Introduction - Big picture macro update since February0:40 Reviewing previous predictions - Energy, bonds, AI trade3:32 Margin of safety particularly small right now5:30 Forward curve moving up - Market believing oil situation won't pass quickly6:02 Rising oil prices and bond yields - Not positive for risk assets8:40 Tech leadership unsustainable - Tremendous blow off top11:00 Buying semis on 8x book historically not a good idea12:26 Equal weight S&P underperforming - Broader market not doing well14:21 Long resources, short consumer and tech - 10% return spread17:03 Bond market move confirming death of financialization thesis19:52 Fed cutting rates against surging inflation and exploding deficits will backfire21:15 Bond market vigilantes being awakened23:38 Japan as canary in coal mine on debt problem25:33 Gold miners outstanding right now - Out of favor27:04 Regime shift happening - 60-40 model is dead29:36 Fed is not in control - They follow the market32:16 This is the golden age for stock picking34:21 AI trade - Biggest misallocation of capital in history of the world36:44 Many stocks in a bubble - Margins are the problem, not PEs38:37 Shipping stocks example - Bubble in earnings, not valuation40:20 Consumer is in recession42:06 Inflation permeating - Gold to energy to food43:28 Rates won't matter until they matter - Temperature analogy45:51 Kevin Warsh stuck between rock and hard place46:38 Margin of safety explained - Seth Klarman's wisdom50:11 Death of buy the dip mentality51:27 ETFs are not the answer - Do you know what's in your ETF?52:53 Golden age of stock picking - Active managers killing it now54:41 Shorting is a bad business - Just avoid garbage stocks56:50 Best Income Ideas Conference - May 20th59:05 Closing thoughts

Could the government's creditors protect Starmer and Reeves, even if Labour is humiliated in the elections? How high are UK interest rates going to rise because of Trump's Iran war? Has monetary policy stopped working? Could AI actually lead to the creation of millions of new jobs? And is coal consumption in the 19th Century a good way to predict this? Steph and Robert dissect the Bank of England's latest assessment of the UK economy.

This is one of those episodes. I'm not gonna lie—this one hit me hard. I'm reacting in real time, a little all over the place, but completely locked into what just happened in Episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again. Daniel… I did NOT see that coming. We're talking about one of the most shocking moments of the season and what it means for Fisk, Matt, and the road to the finale. We break down the chaos, the morality, the choices these characters are making, and where this all could be heading next. Raw reaction. No filter. Just Marvel Maniac.
