The Mason Minute
Endless Shrimp (MM #4637)
"The Minute Mason with Kevin Mason. Since COVID, many restaurants have struggled to get back to the profit levels they once had. So they're trying everything they can to get people to come back in and go back to restaurants. But the economy has been shaky for some, and some are just holding back and not spending the money they were. So they're looking for value. Red Lobster answered that with their endless shrimp promotion, bringing it back this summer and keeping it on the menu. In fact, I went to Red Lobster for the first time in forever back in August. I wasn't the only one who went to Red Lobster and had shrimp. In fact, they had a bad quarter, not because they didn't sell enough. They sold too much. They basically brought the endless shrimp back at $20 as a loss leader, and they lost money. So they've had to raise the price. It went from $20 to $22, now to $25. The good news? It brought people in. The bad news? A lot of people ate shrimp. Red Lobster is learning a valuable lesson. It's good to have something that people want, but you've got to make sure you price it properly. But it got people back in the door, and that's what they're hoping it will keep doing. In the meantime, it'll stay on the menu. You're just going to have to pay a little bit more for it. That's okay. It is pretty tasty.

Rashida Tlaib Accuses Netanyahu of 'Genocide'
"Obama the Nazi Iranian side in Tehran to stop attacking American soldiers. Has she? No. She doesn't say that. But my buddy Tim again. He posted an answer. En hamas. From the river to the C. I like that Mr. Biden. Now how can you say, I mean, Gaza Strip was Egyptian. So how do you end apartheid when it comes to the Gaza Strip? The Israelis say, let your people go. Egypt, open the gate. Let people go. Apartheid. This is something the radical South African governments come up with, which experienced horrendous apartheid for hundreds of years. And now they have used that phrase. It started about 20 years ago. They've used that phrase against Israel. It's an apartheid regime. It's been picked up by the Hamas network. It's been picked up by the Soros networks. It's been picked up by all the radical leftist entities. And regurgitated. Now permanent cease fire, isn't that strange? What does that mean? Does that mean Hamas is going to stop raping and killing and maiming? It's going to stop having little babies in ovens and decapitating them? Is that what that means? No. It means Israel surrenders and Israel continues to be victimized in horrific ways. That's what it means. So Rashida Tlaib remains in Congress and this guy Santos is out. Tell me, which is a greater threat to the American people? Greater threat to liberty. To humanity. This guy Santos, who sounds like and looks like a Rashida Tlaib, a special pleader for Middle East terrorists. Oh yeah, I said it and I mean it and I can prove it. Which is a greater threat? And by the way, the hypocrisy of the Democrats in the media. This guy Santos. Look, I don't know anything about this guy. I don't give a damn about him. That's not the point. But there's Menendez sitting in the U .S. Senate. An armless long of indictments. And for all I know, he's innocent. I don't know. Guy's got gold bars in his

Professor Blames Israel for Students' Lost Minds
"Right by the way he's interviewing professor Rashid Khalidi you want to know why so many of our students have have lost their minds here's one reason and he says in this interview and I want to give a hat tip to Breitbart it's the first place where I saw he said this interview that Israel had not a legal or moral right to this and so is what your kids if you're going to Columbia learning when they're in this class here's just a little taste of 20 it catch go if you step back one minute I think it's very clear that if you occupy and if you imprison and blockade and besiege a population sooner or later that population is going to react violently and negatively Israelis talk about this as if it's you irrational know let me educate you moron the Gaza Strip was open and free it didn't start with a wall didn't start with a John Locke I know John Locke is very very foreign to people like Rashid Khalidi not his type of philosopher but he was the main behind America's founding and people said all these things you talked about I told you this I wrote about it what does it exist he says in America America is a clean slate well Gaza was a clean slate the won Israelis it with the lives of their soldiers when Israel was attacked from the Egyptians the Egyptians wanted nothing to do with it it's a sliver of land but it's beautiful piece of land actually on the Mediterranean Sea and it could have been a beautiful Hong Kong type country if you will but the problem was first the low moderates the took it over and then there was an election that was 2005 an election in 2007 and the peaceful Palestinian citizens voted for Hamas a known terrorist organization part of the Muslim Brotherhood umbrella operation and Hamas didn't hide who Hamas is but they voted for so this is an occupied territory it's not even in dispute it was given to the Palestinians a gift not even in dispute so when he says things like if you step back one minute I think it's very clear that if you occupy or if you imprison and blockade and besiege a population sooner or later that population is going to react so this is what his students are hearing so he's justifying terrorism and he goes on go ahead national at all the nature of the violence is of course

Brittney Sampedro on Husband's Line-of-Duty Cancer Diagnosis in Colorado
"So lymphoma is a very common cancer in the fire service, right? I did a little deep dive, maybe not super deep dive, but I definitely looked at some of the statistics for firefighters specifically. It's crazy. If you ever research it, which I'm sure you probably did at this point, the female firefighters, I did not know how like a 600 % increased risk of breast cancer. That's wild. Wow. And then firefighters have obviously a significant increased risk of cancer as they progress throughout their career. So at the 20 year mark, gets a little more at the 30 year mark, it gets a little more. So cancer is not uncommon in the fire service at all. But you said that the department specifically would never say for certain that it was because of his exposures to chemicals on the job or their gear containing the PFOAS. So was he eligible for any kind of benefit or anything from job related cancer? It's not covered under like a workman's comp type of thing. Colorado has something called the Colorado Cancer Trust. So it's departments that elect to put money into an account that say like, there's an eligibility criteria. He had been a firefighter at that point in 2019 for 10 years. So he was eligible to say like, yes, he's had enough exposure to have been at risk to have this type of cancer that is known or more common for firefighters. So lymphoma was on there. I know testicular cancer is a big one too for men. I didn't know breast cancer for women, but there is an eligibility criteria. They don't come out and say that this is work related. And the department and the everybody who works for Greeley Fire was amazing. They all covered his shifts. So he was able to go through treatment. He had to step offline for a while. And then when the pandemic hit, he kind of was forced to sit at a desk for a little bit just because his immunity was still really low. But I don't even think that there was something written out that like, what happens if a firefighter has cancer? It was just kind of like the guys, everybody at the department banding together and being like, I got your shift. I got your next shift. And they got it all figured out for us. But there was never like a, like, this is work related is workman's comp. It's a, it's a work related issue. It was kind of a separate, you know, like having the cancer trust and then having the Terry Farrell fund reach out to, knowing that it could be a job related cancer. So Colorado is not a presumptive cancer state then. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. And it's crazy to me that in 2023, after all of these studies that there are States that don't have that presumptive cancer legislation. It blows my mind.

Dan Shares Observations From His Time in the South
"Paula at the Iron Bowl. And I said, listen, I obviously haven't met a person from the south, but I've been down here a lot, like for a really long time now. And this is my personal experience with you know, God matters down there. Not that God didn't matter in New York. My family was very religious. We went to St. Pancras Church every Sunday, but God really matters in the south. Central to everything. Everything. God comes first and everything else comes second. And you really see it in the south. It's just even the way they talk. It reminds me, you know, I love Morgan Wallen. That's actually a song, the way I talk. And as a guy who loves Jesus Christ and unfortunately fails him so often, you know, I'm just deeply impacted by how much people from the south so deeply love God and faith and the faith -based portion of the community. You know, sometimes up of earth. Things are like New Yorkers are just very skeptical of a lot of stuff. It's not a knock. It's just they've been burned a lot by a lot of bad people. So a lot of things are considered like hokey. Like, hey, is church going to do bingo. I've been to New York, it's like, ah, that's hokey. That's goofy. Right, Jim? That's like New York. That ain't doing it. That's kind of hokey. Not down south, man. That's a community. Yeah, it's bingo. That's cool. Let's go do some bingo. Whatever. Good for you, man. I also noted that things I picked up down On 20 years living south in New York. You know, manners and structure matter. You know, people don't say, yes, sir, and no, ma 'am, because they're obligated to. They say it because they want It imparts structure in a chaotic world. Respect the elderly. You know, they get over and out of the way when a funeral procession happens. Again, things I've seen, these are just my experiences. I'm not speaking for everyone. don't I stereotype people, good or bad. But structure matters. Manners

PublicSq's Michael Seifert on Avoiding the Anti-Musk Lynch Mob
"Our next guest will be at America Fest speaking all about the new corporate warfare. Joining us now is Michael Seifert from Public Square. You should check out the Public Square app and download it. So Michael, I tweeted this out. It was seen by a couple million people. Now, more than ever, we need to stand with X and defend free speech. We must boycott the ex -boycotters. Apple, Comcast, IBM, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Home Depot, Warner Brothers. They all are boycotting X. Make it hurt, end subscriptions, don't go to their movies, light them up in their comments, cancel the new set of AirPods, etc. Stop supporting those who hate free speech. Michael, your reaction? Well, I think it's pretty simple. The new battlefront is in the world of economics. Consumer spending is your new weapon. And the world of politics has played out very differently than it was even 20 years ago. 20 years ago, this stuff was happening, but it was behind the scenes. Companies would wage war on your values, but they would do it without social media exposing them. But now we are learning in this new digital age just how much the executives at these companies hate your right to speak your mind. Media Matters running a fake hit piece on Elon Musk and on X simply because of his views to value free speech. These companies then kowtow to Media Matters because they're so afraid of losing their virtue signaling points out in the public square. And what ends up happening? Well, X is stripped of significant ad dollars, but we the people had a clear response. We wanted to stand up and support X because we want to support free speech. The people want liberty, not tyranny. And that is now being played out in the world of advertising, consumer spending and engaging media content. It's as you described, Charlie, if we want to win, it's got to be bigger than just voting every two and four years. It has to be with the movies we watch, the way we spend our time, how we spend our dollars and the platforms we engage in. So good on X for standing strong. And we as a company at public square are proud to continue supporting

Argentinian Election Shakes Liberals to Their Core
"This first is about a minute 20 seconds the new president of Argentina Javier again Malay we discussed it yesterday this is the kind of thing ordinarily wouldn't make it into conservative radio a foreign election unless it was a big deal ladies and gentlemen this is an earthquake why? because liberals are afraid that other dumb liberals who vote for them are starting to wake up about how bad things really are due to liberalism and people like Javier Malay completely and totally understand just like Donald Trump that are politics just pictures and quick soundbites and if you get don't that and you think it's white papers and SWOT analysis and then diagrams like Kamala Harris you my friend are gonna lose I want you to listen to the media totally melting down over Javier Malay and apply the Dan Bongino theory if they're melting down about it it must be a good thing check this out a far -right outsider compared to former President Donald Trump has been elected to president of Argentina coming from the far -right Javier Malay a far -right politician a far -right politician far -right candidate far -right outsider extreme right -wing Mila is just way out there on the extreme scale Argentina has elected a right -wing populist right -wing populist right -wing populist Javier Malay is populist a who lacks government experience and displayed erratic behavior and foul language this is a potentially potentially worrisome development he's promised us some radical measures wielding a chainsaw symbolizes war government on spending threatening vital public services he has absolutely no areas his screens resonated widely his screens resonated widely with particularly young men. Malay's controversial tirades against the political class have drawn comparisons to neighbor Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro as well as former president Donald Trump. he has been deemed the Donald Trump of Argentina. Malay's campaign drew comparisons to Donald Trump's here in Malay the US. who has been compared to former president Donald Trump. You can guess who congratulated him by saying make Argentina great again. Make Argentina great again. Maybe these anti -democracy forces will in the end get overwhelmed but that didn't happen in Argentina not not even close whenever they freak out about something a bat signal should go up. Why are they freaking out? Always ask yourself why. Don't be like your dumb liberal never ask why about anything never Obama's great why I I don't know! I don't know that!

Nova Hardscapes' Nasir Acikgoz on Thriving in Uncertain Times
"Think right now the way the economy is the way things have let's say slowed down the way interest rates have risen Politics, okay world governments and all this stuff that's going on They they you know, I feel it in the air that people just want to like curl up, you know And and they don't want to continue to push in a certain way It's kind of like let me hold all my money whatever I have left and I'm not gonna let it go, you know But you have to invest to create if you don't invest you can't create don't be scared to do that when it comes to what he's selling but My question for you is all of this stuff that's going on and you are full throttle you have I see you in the venture 36 -foot venture with quad 500 Merc's And you're flooring the throttles Why do you feel that way? When it comes to that, are you scared about anything that's coming up or you just go based off of off of what? Opportunity vision what I I don't stop I go full throttle all the time and What drives me that when I wake up I think I said I mean God has a plan and I believe in God and I I in he says it work be honest work and it's gonna happen and In this country opportunities are limitless. I mean, there's no limit. There's no There's no product you're gonna say all about people are yes, they're they're holding off They're not gonna they're you know, they're not gonna spend I will never think that way I still keep bringing and I'm gonna bring it We're gonna invest as a matter of fact The green industry has an advantage one of the biggest advantages that I've noticed is if the people are stressed They're stressed with things politics and all that how do they relax of course they go they do sports and stuff One of the things they'd relax is they work in the garden. They work in the backyard They work, you know, they do things or just looking at plants to look at plants. What did what does it do to you relaxes you? One of the things that I'm realizing because we do a lot of pool pools and you know Like we sell a lot of natural stone for pool pool decks and pool coping like for pool products That business is still booming because During the pandemic, obviously people were spending time outside and whatnot But also after the pandemic still that kept going it never stopped And the green industry picked up right right during the the pandemic. Yeah, it keeps going crazy boom Yes, it's still going. Yes. It's a little bit see slow down a little bit, but it's not gonna stop Nobody's gonna stop buying things. Well, we saw wasn't normal first of all. Yeah, it was out You know, it wasn't normal normal growth, you know normal growth year over year at least for me was 20 20 percent growth Correct, maybe 25. So I was able to do 20 to 25 percent more than I did the previous year Let's say that's normal. That's normal average, you know, but you have guys that went up a hundred two hundred three hundred percent in two years You know, so it's just a lot like even the the smaller landscapers they were used to doing, you know Three four hundred thousand dollars to say a small landscaper and a lot of them crossed a million in in two years I know, you know the Amelia 1 .5 to 2 .5 and how did that happen because of this crazy boom? So now what they're seeing is the slowdown effect a lot of people weren't prepared for this to slow down They weren't they didn't let's say understand what was going on or see what was going on And they didn't think it was gonna, you know finish so I hope everyone put you know something away for For this if not, you're gonna learn the next one. You need to yeah, you need to save obviously I'm not saying you need to spend everything but you know It's a cycle then the economy is a cycle four years five years up and then four year five years down four years So if you don't invest when it's down Obviously within your you know budget and and and means and means You're not gonna gain when it picks up again So what I'm doing is when it's up you keep investing anyway when it's down you keep going Obviously, I'm not in I'm investing. I'm actually reinvesting per se Not so aggressively as I did it during the pandemic because the demand was huge. Yeah, you saw it's still going I'm still going like I'm like, okay, so I was adding maybe five products back then but now I'm adding one two But I keep adding because I'm trying to prepare myself for the next rush. Yep, you know Hopefully we'll see those numbers again, but you know, it's gonna be tough. You'll see those numbers as more people use

Liberals Outraged by Children Surviving Cancer
"Well i read an article this weekend in the wall street journal and it was great and the reason i read it because i usually read the op -ed column and i'll go through the what's new section but that's really it then i go over to other sites but this one really piqued my interest it says good news on children and cancer i was like wow i gotta read this because i'm my afraid kids may god forbid hope they don't have this gene and the article is amazing it talks about how the death rate for leukemia which is the most common childhood cancer is down 47 percent in 20 years like my gosh that's amazing brain even brain cancer down 11 percent i'm i'm reading this article i want you to understand through not through a political lens at all i'm reading it it'll make sense in a second where i'm going with this but i'm reading this as a concerned person who had this disease and for a concerned parent too and i'm halfway down the article and i'm thinking to you know this is amazing and it hits me again how bad liberals really suck in what a cancer article by kids yes folks you're sane in the audience can we all agree what i just told you is a universally good thing kids death rates from cancer are down dramatically because of scientific advancements roy you're in the audience like who would object to that liberals no yes no yes come on yes no wait yes yes they're upset why because the same liberals that want to censor you bankrupt you put you in jail charge you with terrorism to walk into an open door in the capital fired from your job why you declared a nazi because you made a comment one day about twitter about liking donald trump they're upset because quote progressives are flogging the cancer reports finding that racial disparities in cancer deaths have increased mortality rates roughly were similar for whites hispanics and blacks in 2011 but progress stalled for blacks and whites they note that by 2021 the death rate for white children was 16 for blacks and hispanics you're like really that's that's bad we don't want that we certainly don't want kids to die because they're black or hispanic that would only be like an animal so not even an animal but a demon might have to wish for that oh and then we find out the reason so liberals are mad that more kids are living by uh surviving cancer why are they mad because there's still disparities what's causing them one possible explanation the story notes may be that medicaid patients lack access to premier oncologists and have to wait for appointments with specialists to get diagnosed there it is folks

Um, because people, you know, beforehand we're traveling COVID sort of shut a lot of that now, uh, right now, is it safe to say that travel is back to people ready to go and get out again? Uh, definitely people are ready to go out and see the world and realize that, uh, they may not have tomorrow. And so they want to experience all that they can today because we have no problem. Oh, you know, that's an interesting statement. I hadn't thought about that.

Chris Describes Navigating Custody Battles and False Accusations
"You for having me on again. I know that we spoke the last time and I was going through a lot of, you know, the whole situation is terrible. And, you know, now I finally got some resolution and I know that you were like, you said that you're going back to court or something and you could use some, some, some good news. Yeah. So, you know, we, we, we last ended with my struggle going in and like trying to file for overnights previously. So I'll just give you a recap from that situation to now. Sorry, there's a dog. 2020, So in 2021, I was allowed to file for overnights. The judge was like, you know what, your child's too young. You can file when she's a year old. So I had to wait to file, of course, and then she's a year old and then you wait three months to get your hearing and then they hear you. And then that judge was like, okay, well, you weren't guaranteed overnights. You'll have to, um, you'll have to have like a custody neutral assessment, just like throwing anything you can in front of me just to, to block it. All right. And so we have a custody neutral assessment and then I get charged criminally, criminal charges. I go to jail for a day or so. For what? Yeah. So she accused me of stalking her and harassing her. And so then I get out of jail, of course. And the judge is like, okay, because there are charges pending, you know, she gets full legal custody and, uh, you know, you can't file for overnights until this is resolved. That is unreal. Now during my whole court proceedings, I think I even sent you some of the transcripts. Like I've been telling the judge that she is the one stalking me. She's outside my house all the time. Like she's, her mother is harassing me and yelling at me. I have like all this video footage of it. Like again, like once you get into family court, you have to document everything because there, there, there is no limits. Like a person will do absolutely anything to get the upper hand. But I've been telling the judge the whole time and he's like, well, are there any charges? I'm like, no, I don't think it's in my child's best interest for her mother to be in jail. So she gets this idea and now I'm the one that ends up in jail. So the judge takes all of my rights away and because of this stalking allegation. However, right before he does it, we were in court and she tells the judge point blank, yes, I am stalking him. After all of this, I've been telling the judge that she's been stalking me. I, I have all of the evidence. The judge takes all of my rights away. She tells the judge that she's stalking me. And in the transcript you see the judge, oh, that don't need to be on the record, which is hilarious. And then, and then so I lose all my rights and he's like, okay, well when your, your, your charges resolve, you can then file for overnights again. So now we fast forward because, you know, 19, I think like took 19 or 20 months for it to finally resolve. And I ended up having to go into this, so like, like my case was like indicted by the way. I ended up having to go into this program called PTI because I've never, I'm not a criminal. I've never been in trouble for anything. And, and if you don't know what PTI is, PTI stands for pretrial intervention. It's for, it's for people that have never been in trouble. And they're like, well, you're facing some serious allegations or charges. And instead of like having a record, you basically go into this program. It's like a one time get out of jail free card. And once you complete the program, you no longer have chart, you have no longer have a criminal record. All this will go away. So I have to enter this program. And of course the mother is like fighting with, fighting with the prosecutor and like trying to keep me from this resolving as much as humanly possible. Even after she's already admitted to stalking me, which is like bizarre because you would think that would go somewhere, right? Right. I mean, I'd be going after the judge. Like, you know, there's, it's, it's almost nothing you can do about it. You know, like, um, you know, the very final hearing, you know, all of this is going on and the judge is like, you know, this child's gonna have a terrible life. This is all my fault. And he says that on the record. It's like insane. Like, so, so I, I go through this thing for 19 months, but while, while I'm waiting for my criminal issue to resolve, I'm enforcing court orders because now she's taking it upon herself to keep my daughter from me. So now we're still in court. So I filed to enforce the court order. She has like over 30 violations and, uh, the, the, you know, the, every, I have, I go through the two judges and the judges are like, nobody wants the judge that I have now, by the way, the judge is like, you know, nobody wants to deal with this, so I'm going to deal with it. You know, and it took 10 months to get it, to get it in front of, into a trial. So we have a trial and the judge finds her to purposely be thwarting my time and her being a liar and you know, and, and all of the criminal things came out during this trial as

I've been nervous for the last three weeks as they move up through the ranks of the sectionals, the regionals, to now the semi -state game. Well, I'll be honest with you, it's almost like I was playing. And here's the kicker. They're not even my relatives. They're my wife's sister's kids. So therefore, there's no blood running through me. It's just I love the kids so much. I just want them to do so well. I've watched them grow so much over the last couple of years playing football. A sport that I never really cared that much about. It's never been my favorite sport. I'm still a bundle of nerves. Not because I'm worried about them getting hurt, because I actually see them having a chance of winning the state championship. I can't even imagine how they feel.

Is there things that people think this is that it's not like can you explain that part of it? Yeah, I think, you know, there's a little bit of a gray line. I think between change management and project management. Okay. I think absolutely you can have these two skills, but I still think that they're quite different. Project management is really making sure that whatever the change is, you know, let's talk about a new HR tool being installed. It's design developed and delivered on time and budget resources are available all of that. Change management is really making sure that people are using it effectively. They're engaged in early and trained on how to use those new solutions. So I think that there are similar practices and obviously making something successful. Whatever that might be. But I do think it should be clear that you know a change manager isn't necessarily going to have project management skills and vice versa. Now you could absolutely have that. But I do think it's important to sort of distinguish between the two. The other thing is I often hear that change management is all about communication and training. And yes, of course it is. But it's also assessments. It's making sure that we don't bite off more than we can chew, and we are able to successfully deliver a change, whether that's the new tool or organizational change..

"That's part of the the criminal investigation. The army's report determined. Search for vanessa was quote immediate and well coordinated search was immediate family. I was there. I know what happened and didn't happen. What is clear is that there were mistakes and missed opportunities. and the army's criminal investigation from day one a general donald mark comes out. She's on the last a special first time. We've ever seen her heart about her. This is her whole unit. Goes looking for. Vanessa doesn't check in the unit starts looking for her never happened. We know that didn't happen now. We know that she was marked present. So the unit surge didn't actually began for many hours. Why the discrepancy so john. That's absolutely correct and fortunately Their errors made. I air was with specter eyewitness reports three separate soldiers and indicated they had seen finessing and departing the arms room and moving towards a motor pool. Hearing people's are are maintained so the accountability check though was an air. They did not do a fiscal accountability of personnel. The individual that that was responsible for that failed to do the proper gummidge. That was at sixteen hundred. It's everybody thought that specialist vanessa. Dean was present that information at information. A lot of manpower effort a lot of angst and a lot of heartbreak to place because of that. Those mistakes that were made early on was this botched investigation by the us army. No we don't believe so because we were able to find probable cause to link specialist robinson to the disappearance and death as a special ski. The reason the family feels the way they do that. There is no justice is because robinson's dow now dead and they have no answers from him and and that's that's extraordinarily tragic We wish that that was not the case. You have to admit that early on in the investigation that too many mistakes too many blunders then investigation revealed that there were errors that occurred it tugs at our heart. We'll never forget vanessa john. There's a gate named after vanessa at fort hood texas one year ago was the last time arman everyone that pass through that gate. We'll see my sister's name.

"I sat down with then secretary of the army ryan. Mccarthy you visited fort hood and spoke. Candidly very candidly about the disproportionate amount of criminal behavior involving soldiers. There was an alarm bell for us to get an independent panel. We bought experts in investigators lawyers as well as some retired f. b. i. Agents to have an outside. Look what was it like. Leading this investigation leading. This investigation was probably the biggest challenge of my career. We knew that there would be another. Vanessa began at least we believed that there would be if we didn't do our job correctly. They committee found that the criminal. Investigative division detachment workforce was unstable under experienced over assigned under resource. In our estimation the fort hood cit was basically being used as a training ground. Cad made so many mistakes in the mitigation blame. My sister was found the way she was found dismembered and burned like if she was nothing. They could have argued point-by-point all seventy recommendations and all nine findings they did not and they stood there and said we're going to accept all seventy recommendations and we're gonna get on this. Many were very quickly implemented for example. The missing person protocol for soldiers awol absent without leave. We have procedures in place now to to identify whether that soldiers absences. His involuntary or voluntary. The findings of the committee identified a command. Climate at fort hood that was permissive of sexual harassment and sexual assault. It was somehow tolerated. it was. They wanted to be combat ready. That was the primary mission. Anything else was a distraction. One of the things that the soldiers at fort hood many of them needed was to be believed and that was what we did. We believe evil as the army taken actions to hold people accountable for what happened. The army has taken strong. Action to hold people accountable. In fact i think even beyond what we recommend tweeting punishments at fort hood in texas fourteen senior army officers and enlisted personnel fired or it sharp is the army's sexual harassment and assault response and prevention program and that report basically finds that. It's not doing enough. We've recently implemented some changes to address investigations at me deal with sexual assault sexual restaurant. Uh having vanessa gained bill passed. Well all our all our soldiers to know that they are safe and they could trust the system they can come forward. One of the biggest performs this proposed legislation would do is move investigations into sexual harassment and assault outside of the military chain of command and put them in the hands of an outside prosecutor. The family wants this piece of legislation passed in vanessa's name and it is expected to come up for a full vote on the house for some time this summer. I thank you for helping us all. Keep our promise. We made a year ago to the family that we would have legislation and it would make a difference. It's one of the biggest military forms in history and it's so important because the help my sister never obtain it will bring the boys. My sister never had with the family still searching for answers. The army shows up at the gone home with a promise. They don't keep you wanted to late. Just punch the wall because they call my family liars. The army releasing highly anticipated report regarding the death of key and today late april after months and months of waiting the command investigation that looked into how leaders handled. Vanessa's case is finally released. But before it was released. General john murray went to the family's home general murray told the that he will bring the investigation. The aarp's to our home and how someone read it off in spanish for murder. He promised that to my mother but the family says when the report was released instead of a personal visit this time all they got was an email. They only call us. And tell us like we're gonna send via email so i'm like bat. Promised didn't happen and there was no press conference either. The findings were simply released to the media during a conference call. You're not happy with his command investigative report for so. I can the hannukah. Your dishes was a mischievous. You're seen the report. Two hundred seventy one pages. I wanted to punch all because they called. My family myers because this is the beginning. Like hey was being sexually harassed at fort hood major general.

I'll you know that. She wasn't sexually harassed right then and there before she was killed. We don't know that for certain. Investigators say she was sexually harassed by a supervisor at fort hood. This individual was was somebody that was in at the time of those incidents and specialist gins chain of command. One of her one verse appearances. It's inexcusable kinda. Wear what was going on. She just told us on controversy was being wrong. This individual there were proposals to have a threesome. There were al qaeda keeping incidents where she was doing field bath and someone was was watching her astonished that they had so much information and details. The only sad part was because they were protecting identities. The names of the perpetrators can't release his name. We can't release his name for the matter of privacy that individuals being held accountable in all twenty one army leaders have been disciplined as a result of both the review and command investigation. Eleven of those twenty one have been removed from from their positions permanently so robinson keep did not sexually harass religious. Play that part would then. Why the heck would he bludgeoned her to death. You'll love for commit joseph cream. Can you try to get even further as to why this was committed. Why why just why. We thought that after this exhaustive investigation we would find out the motive for vanessa's brutal murder. How can the army have no idea. That's that's exactly what we're trying to find. Now we still seek additional information and the ultimate truth of why this happened. And.

I'm sure damian and jemaine have all went through this in their mind what i'm about to say as well because they've done businesses charlotte way more than any of us and they know was up against but southpark mall. I believe that they were protecting their interests from their white constituents. I say i think some of the other mall tenants were threatening to pull out. I believe it was fear of other black businesses wanting to move in seen the success of damien inhumane at southpark mall and the white power structure. This is near new. Let's go ahead and end this before they become successful and others wanna move in ended. Now somebody say dammit ended now terminate the lease terminated.

And i have some content on the situation with south park mall with damien germain and we wish them nothing but the best but now it is time for us as black people to realize that the power is with us and damian and jemaine made some statements about to gather as a black community and building our own area as beautiful as south park with our black business owners and black community coming together.

"Hi chris welcome to twenty minutes it s. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah can you start off by telling us a little bit more about your background. And what aesthetic. Greens is about sure muslims. Chris i'm originally from new zealand. Which left me with the monica north. America of chris deke end. I am the proud founder and ceo of a company called athletic greens. This company was originally formed out of a search for a solution to my own problem. Which was that. I wasn't absorbing neutrons properly. And i ended up basically going on a journey to sort of addressing health problems that led to a clinic in phoenix spending a ton of money doing every blood stool saliva test. You can possibly imagine to have a group very smart people. Tell me that look <hes>. You just don't appear to be absorbing nutrients properly which was a shock to me. Because up until that time. I thought i'd been doing pretty much everything right as it related to. How approach health nutrition and how it approach supplementation and sort of led me to the drawing board to think through an rethink through everything. I thought i knew about nutrition and health and everything else so long story short. I'm customer number. One of what has become a very popular way of removing the fiction from covering nutritional basis every day without cornerstone product grains which. I'm excited to be a part of and we've of lawrence two thousand nine two thousand ten. The proper film launch early two thousand eleven and since then have gone through fifty directions to continually. Look at how can we deliver what. Wait what we consider to be. Sort of that premium. Bist centralist approach to cover nutritional basis every day. Love it so. Tell me more about why. Your body couldn't absorb nutrients well enough. We'll so i have a background. In health and exercise. I studied sport science degree at open university. Which i dropped out of with two classes to go to stop my first business. I'm an entrepreneur through through and have just kicked this lifelong passion around health and fitness. And i was falling. What's considered the nineteen ten approach which was basically. Look if you do everything right. Non-extendible time the other ten percent meta too much and i'd had a few significant number of sort of respiratory tract fictions over the years and the committed to grow infrequency took that i was taking antibiotics for something three to four times a week. And i think. I had a couple of different <hes>. Forces all collide at once. But at the end of the day i had very few good. Bacteria had a really torn up gi system. And i was eating very significant levels of both protein in a variety of vegetables and supplementing. With what i thought at the time was a great multivitamin and i ended up finding that i was in the eighth to twelfth percentile on a lot of the central bottoms as minerals and even mino- essence. And so when these guys came back from that testing and said hey <unk>. digital's none of them. Why this right. We have some of these minerals in the twelfth percentile <unk>. I was really shocked. And just turn out have all sorts of problems traditionally with the gut and the solution from these guys was to say. Look west put you on a basic limitation diet and they gave me at the time one hundred dollars a day customized my blood bike in st nutrition regime. And like i said. I saw two vessels taking fifty horse stalls a day and i just realized it must be a better way so this way back then led me on this journey to seek out experts on. I never claimed to be the sort of exit decide. Look at what good nutrition really was and start to understand things like what got health what is by ability y generally do you wanna get nutrition nutrients as much as possible from food. What food quality is some of these other dynamics at the lead me on a journey that led to us creding athletic rim. Yeah i mean you believe that you can achieve your best self. without nurturing. Your body with writing attrition right so in your opinion then after you've talked to all those experts what the right nutrition look like for me. I think for every human. There's a couple of different pieces. And i think we all want to cover off most basic nutrient basis an never put out any <unk>. Around sort of supplementation being anything other than a path towards optimization i think food is i and you should always focus on food but in terms of what is great nutrition. My general framework is pretty simple. I think you want to eat to maintain your blood sugar levels and a healthy range. I think you want to eat a diet that for you does not lead to any sort of dynamic where you're very inflammatory environment. And i think you want to eat a sort of respite of metros in total calories that match your lifestyle and where that in line you wanna make sure. You're focused on food quality. Health quality pieces <unk>. Seems to be of looked so often. And his principal or nutrient density and then the other variables around william micronutrients are coming from and the quality of and sort of how much cobb some extra protein. How much fat. That's a lot of those are gonna come down to individual preference potentially and then also just how do you live your life that attrition demands of someone who's on a bike aggressively training for two to france. They're going to be very different from someone. Likes to go for walks every day. And maybe it's the german two or three days a week for
